Chapter 33: Be Yourself (Thank You for My Reward for the Wolves and the Two Bosses for Stealing Iron for Love)
"You don't know how annoying he is, he is like a fly every day, he comes to us when he has something to do."
"It seems that he is afraid that others will not know, he has a relative who is a supervisor in the factory, and he likes to talk about it when he sees everyone."
"Some girls are really stupid, and they are jealous of him quarreling with others in the factory."
Wei Ling got into the car and began to complain to Chu Qing.
On the way back, the two kept telling him gossip and anecdotes in the factory.
In an environment where there are more women than men, when scarcity becomes a norm, then ordinary people have also become sought-after goods.
This is also why many Puxin men who worked later were in factories like electronics factories, where there were more women than men.
In that environment, he became a short general.
As long as the man is a little better, it will become fragrant.
Since moving to a new house, Wei Ling has not lived there much, and she has basically been in the factory during this time.
Chu Qing also ran around because of work.
Strictly speaking, the two haven't seen each other for several days.
There are endless words to say to each other, but most of the time it is Wei Ling who is talking. Chu Qing just smiled and listened silently.
"Where is this going?"
After picking up Wei Ling, Chu Qing did not go back directly, but went around in a circle and drove into the town.
At this moment, Humen is brightly lit and the streets are flashing neon, which is a bit of the prosperity of Xiangjiang in the 80s on TV.
"Let's eat!"
The van stopped in front of a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant.
The décor is new, but the signboard is old.
Locals not only have the habit of morning tea, but also have a hobby of eating night tea.
Especially for Hong Kong businessmen from Xiangjiang, going out for a night tea and chatting has become their favorite pastime.
After all, there is a lack of nightlife in this era, and there is no place to massage and wash your feet.
At this time, there is no overnight tea time, and there are many people sitting inside, all of whom are well-dressed Hong Kong overseas Chinese businessmen.
The two of them found a window seat in the hall.
It is still a traditional way to order tea with a cart, and the waiter pushes the cart all the way to sell snacks.
If you like something, just pay for it and bring it to the table.
A few signboards were ordered at random. Phoenix's feet, money belly, seafood vermicelli pot, durian crisp quicksand buns, poplar branch nectar.
For the arrival of the two, it also attracted the attention of some guests.
Most of the people who come here are Hong Kong businessmen and locals.
Chu Qing and Wei Ling looked like outsiders, and it was rare to see outsiders here.
It's not a question of whether you are used to eating or not, but the consumption here is really not low in this era.
It's not that outsiders can't afford to consume, but there are few such extravagances.
After all, they have just come from poverty, and the poor will not come out to take a picture when they get rich, so they will eat one or two hundred at random.
Those who are really rich will go to Western restaurants if they highlight their grades.
For young couples with an average life, their favorite places to go at this time are also cinemas and video halls.
After all, there are so many things that can be done in a dim environment, and it costs less money.
"Isn't it a little too expensive?"
Seeing that Chu Qing gave more than a hundred yuan, Wei Ling was still a little surprised.
Two people eat more than 100 in one meal, which is indeed a bit extravagant.
"It's okay, after more than ten years, let alone spending a hundred, even spending a thousand, you may not be able to eat such authentic Hong Kong-style refreshments."
The master of this era can also make the purest dim sum, and the further he goes, the more unpalatable the things he makes, and he adds high technology at every turn, as if he won't do it without adding it.
Those brands with time-honored brands and century-old stores.
In the end, all that was left was just a brand, and the unique taste had long been lost.
"It's like you've eaten it more than ten years later."
Seeing Chu Qing's calm and breezy appearance, Wei Ling didn't bother with money or not.
I learned to try that bun a little.
Durian crisp quicksand buns, this is a pure Hong Kong-style refreshment.
One bite of the full durian filling flows into the mouth along the tip of the tongue.
"Ahem!"
"Why does it smell like that?"
Wei Ling, who ate durian for the first time, was indeed a little unable to accept the smell and smelled a foul smell.
It can be eaten but sweet and soft. It just feels weird.
"That's the taste of authenticity."
Chu Qing took a bite, sweet but not greasy, soft and glutinous and crispy.
In another twenty years, the same durian quicksand filling will not be able to make this taste.
"Do rich people eat so weirdly?"
Seeing that Chu Qing was eating very deliciously, Wei Ling also tried to accept it slowly.
But I still peek at other people from time to time.
For her, it always feels a little worthless to eat so much for more than 100 yuan.
In their hometown, more than 100 yuan can buy a lot of meat.
Looking at other tables, drinking black coffee, and eating odd pastries.
Not to mention the small portions, and there is not much meat.
I really don't understand why it's worth so much money.
"Eat, it's divided into several layers."
"The most basic thing is to be full, and when you have nothing, you just have to eat anything."
"When you're full, you want to eat well. At this time, the pursuit of nutrition and sensual enjoyment. ”
"When this step is satisfied, eating becomes a spiritual enjoyment."
"At this time, what we eat is not the food itself, but the value and meaning of the food."
"Actually, they're just the second layer."
After listening to Chu Qing's explanation, Wei Ling looked around and looked at the food.
That's it, it's just the second layer. I really don't know what the third layer will be like.
"And what level are you on now?"
"I'm ~ the third layer."
"For me, eating can be very simple or very delicate. Eating is not about the ingredients themselves, but about who you eat with. ”
"And who do you want to eat with?"
"With you, of course, whatever you eat, this is the third layer. It's not the food that is eaten, but the meaning that the food brings. ”
"Just you can talk."
Wei Ling, who was very happy to be coaxed by Chu Qing, threw him a wink in disgust.
"Come on! If you can talk, you can eat more. Gagged your mouth. ”
·················
The river breeze blew across the embankment, blowing the leaves and touching people's hearts.
The two people on the edge of the fence slowly separated for a long time.
It has been more than half a month since the two of them confirmed their relationship, and this is the real first time in the world of two people.
If it weren't for Chu Qing holding on, there would be a fence behind him. Just this period of ultra-long standby just now, Wei Ling estimated that he would slide down.
A young girl is pregnant with spring, and an old house is on fire. Everything is so logical.
The artistic conception is not in the place, but in the person.
When Lang is in love with concubines, even the grove is beautiful.
Of course, Chu Qing would not take Wei Ling to drill the grove, not to mention the peeping of mosquitoes, it would be difficult to endure.
After all, the rear seat of the Mazda E1800 is also very spacious.
On the calm river, there are occasional cargo ships.
Wei Ling leaned on Chu Qing's arms like that.
"Actually, I resigned, and I was still a little worried."
"Worried about what?"
"My brother and sister-in-law persuaded me to resign, but when I really resigned, I realized that I didn't know anything."
"It doesn't matter, you can learn, no one is born with it, as long as you are willing to learn, you can do it anytime."
"Can I really do it?"
"Nothing can't be done,"
"Life is a long road, you can do what you want to do, set a goal and work hard to achieve it, no matter what the result is, just do your best."
"If you don't know what to do at the beginning, start with the simplest and slowly work your way up step by step. The most important thing is to enjoy the process. Slowly you will find that everything is actually not difficult. Until the moment you reach your goal, you can look back and see that all the effort and effort have been worth it. ”
"You have to experience everything in life, and you can't stop because you're afraid."
Wei Ling has grown so big, no one has ever told her that life is like this.
At home, her parents would only tell her to be diligent and obedient, so that she could find a good in-law in the future.
My brother would only tell her, be gentle, be virtuous, and don't get into trouble.
Only Chu Qing will tell her to enjoy, to learn, to improve herself, and to do what she wants to do.
Originally, she was still worried about what she should do without a job, but after listening to Chu Qing's words, she found her goal and direction for the first time.
Maybe she can do what she once dreamed of.
