Before the food was served, the six young men drank tea and smoked cigarettes, and began to chat. From the first of July, Diao Deyi was singing, the beard stuck to his mouth fell off, making it difficult for Daqing to sing or not ...... Chengzhong's flute won the first prize in the county. Chatting about the 15th of August is about to arrive, this moon cake pork and other things are supplied by ticket, most of our homes are in the local area, the festival is not to buy some things back to Mom and Dad a surprise! Liu has the right to say: "side dishes, snacks, mooncakes and so on I dare not guarantee, buy pork package in my body."
Chengzhong said: "Pork is also supplied on a per capita basis, there is no ticket, do you have a backdoor not?" Liu has the right to smile mysteriously and said, "This does not need you to worry about, when the time to pay to take the meat on the line." They chatted about literature, Qin Jieren said what the world famous book "Gorky", "Hugo" book writing that is called hanging kettle on the airplane, high level. Chengzhong said: "Gorky" book I have not read, "Fire King Kong", "Golden Path", "Song of Spring", "Bitter Vegetable Flower", "Red Rock", "Mr. Lu Xun's anthology of miscellaneous essays" (Xianglin Sister-in-law, Leaping Turtle, AQ Zhengzhuan, human blood buns, Kong Yijie ......) and so on, I have read the book. Foreign books like "the Soviet Union," "how steel is forged," I also read twice, Paul Kochagin and Tonya ...... "Wang Daqing said:" Paul Kochagin, I also know a little, he and Tonya's relationship is very close, but in the end, the two people did not have a good relationship. close, but in the end the two did not come together, right?" Qin Jieren said, "Have you also read this Soviet novel?" Wang Daqing said: "casually flipped through, did not finish."
A moment of wine and food on all, they ate and talked, Daqing clamped a fat meat pieces, while sending to the mouth while asking Chengzhong "you and Yu Feng still have no drama? If you don't hurry up, she will become a cooked duck and fly ...... "Speak of the devil," he said. "Who's talking bad about me?" A silver-ling-like laughter came in, and the jade phoenix appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria. She smiled and stood in front of everyone with a flash. "Wow! A fairy has descended to earth, no wonder the light is making people dizzy." Another boy named Duan Pingshun joked. Followed closely by her father, then Yu Debao and his veterinarian station chief father fish habitually entered. The table of youngsters was dumbfounded by their arrival! Yu Feng quite generous standing in front of the table, said: "your township party of the township party, classmates of the classmates, how to treat also do not say a word, but also behind the back of the bad words about others?" Yu De Bao also came over and said: "We heard outside the cafeteria talk about, I do not know is that way of the gods, there are good food and drink such a good thing why not call on us?"
A few workers look at the two of them to sing together to be a good match, awkwardly do not know how to answer. I remember in the past in school, but who do not care who, sitting in the middle of a desk also draw a demarcation line, today the sun came out of the west? The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for the services you need. Yu Feng thin-skinned, face immediately red to the root of the ear, said: "or have the right to old brother generous?" Said she sat down Chengzhong diagonally opposite, while silently watching Chengzhong while drinking tea, no longer say anything.
? The company's business is a very important part of the company's business, and the company's business is a very important part of the company's business. Old Yu and old Zhang originally wanted to find an elegant and quiet place to eat and chat, casually mention the marriage of the dolls, the results of this group of young people first, to the town of this better conditions of the state-run canteen. Instead, Liu has the right to be smart and clever, while everyone is chatting hot, stood up and walked to the front of the two elders, said: "Uncle Yu, Uncle Zhang, a group of young people from our factory to the cafeteria to gather, eating is not divided into the first and last, and said that the meal is only on the full, or we crowded together, plus a few pairs of chopsticks lively?"
Yu Fong's father took off his glasses and took a breath with his mouth, then wiped it with a handkerchief and said, "You several young people, I and De Bao's father is a colleague and hometown, and we called the child here in your factory and there are other things to talk about." He put his glasses on and said in a serious tone: "Right, you are also Fangzhou street, right? I'm familiar with your father, what's his name, Liu...Liu X..." He had the right to say, "Uncle, my father's name is Liu Xiren." He patted his hand on his head and said, "Look at Uncle this memory, yes, it is called Liu Xiren, your family lives in the north of Fangzhou Street, right?" "Uncle Zhang good memory, is the north side of the street." "You young people together lively we will not disturb." "I don't dare to talk about disturbing, or uncle! How about I toast you two seniors first?" "That's not necessary, isn't Yu Feng also in your factory? You are workmates, once or classmates, she is a girl, since childhood I spoiled her, timid especially tolerant without initiative, temper is also big, you a few small townspeople to take care of her point, in the event of more to give her ideas." "This natural, you can rest assured, we work in a factory every day can see." Then I'm relieved, later go to your factory, we casually get together to eat and drink there is plenty of time."
? Yu Debao his father sat at another table, because away from the fan far away, hot unbuttoned shirt, set up his legs, smoking cigarettes raised his head and spit out a few circles, cafeteria attendant served up tea, he froze for a moment, I do not know what to think about the mind, the right to go to him, from the body to pull out a box of "red Yan'an" brand cigarettes, pull out a said: "Yu uncle to! Smoking a cigarette, Yu Debao father stood up and took the cigarettes on the table, stretching out a hand to pull the right to say: "virtuous nephew you do not have to be polite, we two are neighbors, you and Debao bare ass play urine mud is what I watched grow up, you young people together lively, uncle will not disturb you."
Liu has the right to say: "You two are elders that can talk about disturbing, or uncle on behalf of all of us toast you how? Chengzhong take wine over, to uncle family to pour wine." Words just fell point Chengzhong end wine over. "Oh! It's you kid, do you play the flute well? Young man, musical genius is very talented, do a good job the future is bright." He bowed his head and buttoned up and then said: "You and my son are classmates, the family is the former Shanhe village, right? We are all countrymen, you young people do not have to bow, wine will not drink, you should eat and drink freely." Finished he said: "Old Zhang let's go to the brewery Li factory director there to turn around?" Yu Debao said, "Dad, what should I do?" "What else can we do? Let's go to the brewery to see your uncle Li, said the four of them out of the small cafeteria one after the other.
The four of them left, this group of young people unrestrained, and began to eat and drink together again guessing boxing, line order, playing tiger kong. Although everyone is eating and drinking together, but for Chengzhong and Yu Feng Yu De Bao three people know the relationship, who is also inconvenient to poke through that layer of windowpaper. Because everyone knows that Yu Feng heart love Chengzhong, but her parents do not dare to blatantly oppose the arrangement. The way is the Yu De Bao that posture, to get Yu Fong to the hands of the chest of success, and then put the rice to do ripe rice, everything will be logical.
The six people eat hot and heavy, the topic is more and more, Yu Xiaodong said: "Beijing, some of his classmates are at home to review junior high school and high school textbooks, ready to have the opportunity to take the test of the university." Liu has the right to say: "Now the university focuses on the recommendation, as long as the political ideology is good, the origin is good work positive, good moral character, and the party members preferred recommendation, as for the cultural level that road is secondary." Wang Daqing said: "According to the internal news" now above the more important cultural courses, other aspects such as the children can be educated, black five types of children generally do not have major political problems, the hope of going to college is still there." Yu Xiaodong heard as if playing a cardiotonic, said that we just work hard to pick back the lost cultural lessons ...... Duan Pingshun picked up a glass of wine a tilt of the neck and drank a light, said: "The future is bright, the road is winding, how easy it is to talk about, most of us have a poor foundation in cultural lessons, a bottle of dissatisfaction, half a bottle! Shake when, not to mention the university, I think it is now difficult to test junior high school." A group of boiling youth, enthusiasm is high, was he said like when the head poured a pot of cold water, from the head to the heart of the feet. Eat food, eat food and then don't pick up the threshing floor to hit the moon, talking about things that can't be touched and can't be done. So then again rowing boxing guessing order, brother and sister good! The four seasons to wealth, Kui five head, six six smooth.
Time is generally long before the season after the season is short, this July 1 just passed, time is like a movie switching lens, a flash in the past, tomorrow is August 15, the factory put three days off, Liu has the right to really count, he called on the Chengzhong to go to the north end of the town of seven miles, the vice-food company to do a meat sales point to get meat. Came to the door of the food store traffic, good guy queuing up people standing in a long line, the doorway is crowded not to squeeze in, Liu has the right to stand in front of the door with his hand on the door frame constantly looking in, inside a few meat sellers are sweating to collect the money to cut the meat, there is no point in idling down the meaning of the word. Chengzhong asked: "How is it, is there a door?" Have the right to pull Chengzhong out of the crowd and said, "It looks like we have to go through the back door ......"
