Chapter 33

There is a famous square in the north of the old city of Jingzhou City. A tall bronze statue is erected on the square. The statue commemorates the first mayor of the People's Government after the liberation of Jingzhou City and is also one of the founding marshals. A hundred years later, Jingzhou City erects his own bronze statue here to commemorate this people's hero who has worked hard all his life for the country, for the people, and for the rest of his life.

On the east side of the square, there is a Tongtai Restaurant, an octagonal ancient six-story building, a century-old restaurant that runs Huaiyang-style dishes and pastries. The most famous one is chicken soup buns. The soup buns here are Suzhou dim sum created by a Suzhou master in the 1950s.

The original name is chicken soup bun, and its taste is the fresh and sweet taste of Suzhou, which is very popular among Jingzhou citizens.

When the people called it easy, it turned into soup dumplings, eight in a basket, which was small and exquisite. Fang Bai was brought to him by his adults when he was a child several times. After many years, he came back and found that everything here had not changed, and he was still the same.

Lin Yeqiu met the lobby manager here and was taken directly to the private room. The architectural shape of this octagonal building allows the private room to see the back lake on the side of the city wall by opening the window. At this time, thousands of acres of lotus flowers in the lake swaying in the wind, and the scenery is excellent.

Fang Bai accompanied Lin Yeqiu because Lao Meng called to meet today. The location was decided by Lin Yeqiu. He brought Fang Bai and Qiqi here early in the morning. At this time, Fang Bai was breaking the soup dumpling and putting the braised rice into it, breaking it and feeding it to Qiqi.

Xiaobai, don’t give her too much food, there will be other dishes to serve later.

Doesn’t Qiqi like to eat? Look at her bite after bite.

The child didn't expect that he actually liked to eat chicken soup buns, so he took a few cages back.

Godmother, Sister Yu Lu really can’t come?

Things are more important there, and it is not worth it to take a leave just now.I can do this. It’s just to look at the contract and see what the hell is going to do.

As he was talking, Lao Meng had already brought Shi Lili in.

Oh, sister-in-law, I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I'm getting more and more beautiful.

Mr. Meng has a good complexion and is in good health recently.

Old, old, is this Lulu's daughter?Oh, I have grown up so old, I really don’t have to worry about growing up, I just worry about life, hahaha…

You are not very good at calling people, otherwise someone will call you Grandpa Meng, hahaha.

Lao Meng seemed to be prepared, and Shi Lili had already taken out the red envelope from her bag and handed it to him.

Come on, this is my grandfather’s meeting gift. I didn’t even have a full moon wine, a hundred days, or a year old. Grandpa Meng will make it all for you.

Lin Yeqiu refused: I didn’t even invite you to drink, why do you still have to give me a red envelope? Lao Meng, don’t be so polite.

How can this be done? I am an elder. It’s a happy event when I meet the younger generation, so how can I keep the younger generation empty-handed?

Lao Meng stuffed the red envelope into Qiqi's pink apron without saying a word. Then Lao Meng stuffed another red envelope in his hand to Fang Bai who was holding Qiqi, and then patted Fang Bai's shoulder with a shocked face.

Last time Lulu said you were my sister-in-law’s godson. She was not prepared at the time. Today I, Lao Meng, cannot let others say that I am not polite.

Uncle Meng, this is not suitable.

Fang Bai was a little at a loss when he held the thick red envelope.Lin Yeqiu pressed him and said: OK, okay, take it, your Uncle Meng is a person who wants to save face, and it is not good to push and push.

Lao Meng smiled and said: I have changed my words and called me uncle, which means that this eldest nephew has regarded me as his own. So the family will not speak two words. If you have a drink at noon today, you will be your sister-in-law and treat me as your sister-in-law.

OK, OK, Xiaobai took out the bottle of wine I brought. Lao Meng, I have prepared it for a long time.

Fang Bai took out a bottle of Moutai and went out to greet the waiter to leave the food.

After waiting for eight cold dishes for a long time, Fang Bai studied it before opening the wine. He looked at Lao Meng with the lid of the box. Lao Meng waved his hand and said: You don’t need to give the waiter to bring the big cup. Let’s have some drinks for us today.

After a while, two white porcelain wine glasses were brought up, and Fang Bai poured the wine. The Moutai brought by Lin Yeqiu was probably old. It was fragrant in the room when it opened. Even the two waiters couldn't help but smell the Moutai wine.

Lin Yeqiu held it down and was about to toast Lao Meng first and said, "Xiaobai, don't drink quickly. Lao Meng's bottle of wine is a good wine left by Lao Yu. It has been stored for almost ten years. We might as well finish the matter first and then slowly taste the aged wine."

OK!Just listen to my sister-in-law.

Lao Meng put down the wine glass, Shi Lili had already taken out a folder and handed it to Lao Meng. Lao Meng didn't answer it but tilted her head, and Shi Lili came over and gave it to Lin Yeqiu.

Lin Yeqiu opened the folder, and the contents inside were extremely familiar. It was the result that he had discussed with Yu Lu. Lao Meng did not change a word, but just changed the line. Lin Yeqiu looked up at Lao Meng.

Just decided like this?

Since my sister-in-law and niece have decided, I, a big man, can't bargain like a vegetable market, just do what you want, but if you decide, make it settled, and everything will be done as you say.

Let's do this, I agree in principle, but Lao Meng, you know...

Sister-in-law, don’t worry, the terms above must be decided by your young lady. I have the patience to wait. You can see that the official seals and signatures above are all available, and you can stamp them anytime.Just don’t let me wait too long, how about you watching for a week?

I'm still quite anxious. I don't know if Lulu can settle down so quickly...

Let’s do this, sister-in-law, I’m going on a business trip tomorrow, for about a week. How can I contact you when I come back?

Then we will settle for the time being and we will contact you when you come back.

OK!You can drink, I have known about your Maotai wine for a long time. At that time, Lao Yu showed it to me, but it was a pity...

Fang Bai quickly stood up and toasted Lao Meng. Uncle Meng, thank you very much today, I will give you a glass.

Sit down and drink. Lao Yu and his sister-in-law have always wanted a son. You are a good young man. Just come to me if you have any problems in the future. Do it.

This Moutai is a sauce-flavored style, and Fang Bai is a little uncomfortable with this taste, but the price and year of this wine are here, so Fang Bai can only think that this is the good wine.

Lin Yeqiu had some worries and took chicken soup rice for Xiao Qiqi to eat. Qiqi obviously had too much soup buns been fed by Fang Bai just now. At this time, her attention was no longer on the food, but was pointing to see the scenery of the lotus in the back lake outside the window.

Lin Yeqiu hugged her and looked at Houhu from the window. Lao Meng was very excited and Fang Bai drank a bottle of Moutai in a short while.

After drinking the bowl of chicken soup that Shi Lili gave him, Lao Meng was still at his age. After all, he drank at noon and was still at this high level of wine. He couldn't bear it anymore. Finally, he asked Fang Bai to send it downstairs. Shi Lili took the opportunity to pay the order. Fang Bai wanted to stop him, but Lao Meng grabbed him and said in his ear.

Young man, Lili is great, hahahahaha...

Fang Bai was shocked and looked at Shi Lili holding Lao Meng's arm while turning around and throwing her eyes to him.

Fang Bai was also worried about going upstairs. He had never touched Shi Lili before. Why did Lao Meng say that?

Fortunately, there were not two people that day, and there were two technicians who could prove their innocence. Fang Bai went upstairs to see Lin Yeqiu also packing up Qiqi's things and preparing to leave.

Godmother, let me do it.

You have drunk, go back and have a nap.

What, they bought the order, but I didn't stop it.

It's okay, go back.

Fang Bai went over and hugged Qiqi and Lin Yeqiu and went downstairs together.

Although this Maotai is not a big deal, Lin Yeqiu is really worried today and is not very steadily driving. Fang Bai was so dizzy that he got home. He hurried back to the dormitory and lie in bed for a while before he could not vomit.

Xiao Qiqi fell asleep because she was so upset. Lin Yeqiu called Yu Lu when she got home. Both mother and daughter thought this was too good, so it was a bit abnormal.

Yu Lu wanted to come back, but she had just gotten into contact with her. She had been having a hot day these days, and it was a bit bad to come back suddenly.

So they decided to let Fang Bai go, but they are not in a hurry for the time being. Anyway, Lao Meng will have to go out for more than a week before coming back, so he can wait a few days before he comes back. Now Yu Lu thinks it is a bit strange and is going to think about it carefully these days.

Now Fang Bai, who was originally busy, suddenly felt relaxed. He went to practice driving in the morning and went to his hometown to take photos in the afternoon. He drew a large detachment on his wall. Fang Bai also took photos, including his uncle's house. In short, Fang Bai has taken hundreds of photos, partly to look at the progress of the demolition, and partly to record his memories.

Lin Ge at the front desk of the company actually knew how to PS, help Fang Bai process these photos in different categories, and also taught Fang Bai some photography skills.

On this day, Fang Bai was guiding photos on the front desk computer when he suddenly found a folder on the computer desktop. Fang Bai clicked it on the company's computer without caring about it. Unexpectedly, there was a resume document in the folder. Fang Bai thought about it and clicked it on.

Huh!

It turned out that this girl Lin Ge wanted to change jobs, but Fang Bai looked at her for a few seconds and then closed the document.

After thinking about it, it seemed that Lin Ge shouldn't be the one who Rong Sheng'an inserted into it. Fang Bai felt that he had thought too much before. What could Lin Ge know at the front desk? Moreover, the others were all together, so he couldn't get along with her.

Looking at her resume, it was because the internship period had not arrived and was thrown here by Rongsheng.

And it seems that I am not very satisfied with my job and want to find a new home.

However, seeing this resume, Fang Bai suddenly remembered that Yu Lu had to go to the talent market to check it out by himself before leaving. He forgot this thing completely, so he just went there if he had nothing to do in the afternoon.

At this time, Lin Ge came back and brought Fang Bai a dumpling for lunch.

Manager, I can’t stand it anymore when I keep eating in the cafeteria, so I change my taste today.

OK, I'll give you the dumpling money.

Fang Bai took out twenty yuan and gave it to Lin Ge, and Lin Ge took it up without any politeness.

Fang Bai is very rich now. The red envelope given by Lao Meng that day was 4,000 yuan. When Fang Bai went back to Lin Yeqiu, Lin Yeqiu smiled and said: I am not your biological mother, if I want to give it, I will give it to Bai Shuangyan.

Fang Bai just took the flowers himself, and today he tried to practice driving and forced two packs of Chinese cigarettes to coach Yin.

Lin Ge, I'll ask you something.

Yes, ask.

How much is your salary standard now?

I received an internship salary of 1,000 yuan in Rongsheng. I have not received any money yet, and I don’t know how much it is.

Mr. Yu said before that he would increase his treatment in the end, but he didn’t know if he included you.

Manager Fang, I actually want to change the place. It’s so boring, the salary is not high, and I’m fine to do it. It’s so uncomfortable to stay all day.

Then it seems that you don’t want to stay. The salary issue is not the most important thing, but it’s that you are too bored.

Yes, no matter how high the salary is, I can stay even if it’s boring, hehe.

Haha, let’s see how much you get in the first month. If it’s very low, tell me, and we’ll talk about it then.You can't leave now, otherwise the company will not even have a doorman.

I know this. Although I have done my resume, I still don’t want to leave. Although it’s boring, it’s quite comfortable to be honest. It’s useless to get money when I’m working.

Well, that's it. I'll go out after dinner and you can get off work normally.

If the manager is doing business, can he take me there?Anyway, the company has nothing to do, and now even the fax collection is full of advertisements, which is really boring.

Fang Bai thought about it and it would be fine to bring this girl with him, so that someone could talk. Anyway, going to the talent market is just to see the market.

It was mid-August, and the talent market was in full swing. Today, it was coincidental that the government organized ten large chemical companies to hold job fairs. Fang Bai ran away in vain. Seeing the crowds inside, Fang Bai took Lin Ge to the photocopy shop at the door and wanted to buy a bottle of water and then went back. Who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he saw an acquaintance.

Liu Liu!It's really you!

Fang Bai!I will copy my resume, but I don’t look like I am here to find a job.

I'm here to buy water. Why are you here? Have you found a job?

My buddy is the boss here now, how about it?

Hey!It's true, you really opened a store.

Not busy at this moment, Liu Liu took the drinks to Fang Bai and Lin Ge, and sat down with them to blow the air conditioner.

This is the thing. I come here every day and get along well with the original owner of this store. After knowing what I think, the boss asked me if I want to take over the store.

This store is so good, how could that boss transfer it to you?

He had a special situation. His girlfriend was in another place. There were many female college students here. His girlfriend was worried about him, so she forced him to go back and get married, and then asked his father-in-law to arrange for him to enter a state-owned enterprise.

Then the transfer fee is very high, right?

It's quite tall, but my dad was born in peace, and he thought this place was a good business, so he sold the money for me. Now I have only been working for a few days, and the business is indeed good.

You are so lucky, but if it were me, my family wouldn't be able to pay the money.

Why!By the way, you have a job, you can go wherever you are?

I was running errands in a small company. The boss wanted to recruit people and asked me to see the market. This was my colleague who came with me.

Oh, I thought it was your girlfriend, so you won’t come these days. They are all job fairs organized by the municipal government. Today is a chemical company and tomorrow is an electronics factory.What kind of person do you want to find can tell me, and I can pay attention to it if I have contacted here.

This is not needed. For the time being, we just have a plan, so we don’t need anyone right away. Let’s take a look at the salary market.

I can also pay attention to this for you. In fact, there are still quite a lot of people looking for jobs now, so there is no big problem. By the way, let’s have dinner here tonight, and your colleagues will be with you.

Forget it, I still have something to do. Anyway, I will come in a few days, and I will treat you to eat at that time.

Fang Bai and Lin Ge came out of the store. Only then did Fang Bai realize that Lin Ge wanted to get off work early, because Fang Bai couldn't let her go back to the company and go home alone.

Seeing Lin Ge riding on the bicycle with a smile and running, Fang Bai shook his head.

I remembered that it was still early now, so I simply went home. Now I can buy some gifts for my mother for several thousand yuan.

He went there as soon as he said that, Fang Bai ran to a nearby shopping mall. This time he knew what to buy, so he found the counter and bought a lipstick that was exactly the same as Lin Yeqiu gave it to him last time.

I feel ashamed to think about it. The first gift I bought after I got rich was not for my mother. When Fang Bai thought of this, he was a little moved when he looked at the counter next door.

Happy Perfume in the Daytime I love the juicy flavor of this pear, a flavor that you can enjoy like a dessert.Adding a little rose and woody aroma, it adds a sense of mystery.This fragrance has a sexy, lustful charm, like a charming girl.

Perfumer Zhiyu Fang Bai looked at the small card in his hand, admiring the beauty of the text and savoring the various fragrances he had experienced in the promotion just now. Fang Bai threw the card into the packaging bag in his hand, and took out the receipt and received it in his wallet.

If I knew that this bottle of perfume cost 1,500 yuan, I would have to force myself to come back and return it.

Bai Shuangyan knew that her son was coming back today, so she got off work early and came back to make a good meal for her son to have a tooth ceremony. However, after get off work, there were no good vegetables to buy at the vegetable market, so she had to go to the braised vegetable store to buy salted duck.

When Fang Bai arrived home, Bai Shuangyan had not come back yet. Seeing the kitchen rice cooker cooking, Fang Bai took off his shirt and mopped the floor with his shirtless water. After he finished mopping the house, Bai Shuangyan came back.

Mom, you are back.

Just take a break when you come home, what are you going to mop the floor?

I'm a rare time to come back, just do it if I can.

You are helping you. It has been hot for a long time this day. The weather forecast says there is a heavy rain. After you mop the floor, when will you see it?

Ah?I forgot about this and I've dragged it all out. I'm buying a duck today.

Bai Shuangyan entered the kitchen and prepared to cook some vegetables and make soup.

You make all the ducks and serve them when the rice is ready. If you say that you will make a few more dishes in the morning, just eat them. Will you have a holiday tomorrow on Saturday?

I have to practice driving tomorrow and I have to go to the driving school in the morning.

How are you practicing car?

It’s okay. The last class tomorrow will be done. After practicing, you will have to practice the downward stance. After practicing the downward stance, you will have to take the exam first.

Oh, you are quite fast. I heard from your aunt that Bai Huiwen hasn't practiced once and is playing at home every day.

Play in an Internet cafe, how can he stay at home?

Your uncle didn't know what happened this time, his luck improved, so he went out to do business and made some money, bought a computer for Bai Huiwen, and returned the money to me.

Oh, my uncle has been lucky.

Who said it was not? I heard that I had made wires from a construction site and I didn’t know where to do it. Anyway, I would give your aunt some money when I came back and went out again.

Did my aunt come to see you two days ago?

But no, your uncle and Bai Huiwen are here too. By the way, your uncle cares about you and bought you a tie and go and take a look at it. Maybe you can wear it when you work.

Fang Bai just saw a gift box, but he didn't expect it was a gift from his uncle. He brought the rice to the table and ran to take it apart. Huh!

A golden twill tie.

My uncle was really nice to me. Fang Bai took out his tie and gestured, and he was quite suitable.

Stop being beautiful, have a meal first!

Fang Bai quickly packed the tie and took it out.

Bai Shuangyan brought a dish and soup to the table. Today she not only bought salted duck but also boneless chicken feet. Fang Baiting liked this, Bai Shuangyan prescribed a bottle of ice beer for him.

Drink some cold beer in summer to relieve the heat.

Alas, this is good, chicken feet are good to drink.

You look like an old drunkard, but last time your uncle came, there was a bottle left in the refrigerator. You can finish drinking it.

Uh-huh.

Fang Bai had already drunk a glass of cold beer and the stuffiness in summer was not so uncomfortable.

After a meal, Fang Bai felt comfortable eating at home. The cold beer became hot in her stomach and sweated all over. After eating, Fang Bai hurried to the bathroom to wipe her body with a towel.

Bai Shuangyan packed the dishes and went to the kitchen. When she came out, Fang Bai was taking the gift he bought for her.

Mom, the company has given you a bonus, I bought you something, and see if you like it or not.

Money is messed up again, oh!This one has to be hundreds, right?You've ruined all the money.

If you buy it, you can use it.

It’s good if you buy some practical things, I can’t use these things normally.

Aren't you going out to dance?It can be used then.

I go out to dance and I don’t go to find a partner. I will be laughed at by people using these. Why don’t you give it to you Aunt Lin, she is so weird and likes this.

My mother doesn't even have it, so how can I give it to others? I have bought it anyway, so you can keep it.

At this time, dark clouds were shrouded outside. The night that should have been bright was now completely dark. A heavy rain was approaching. Fang Bai originally wanted to go to the mountains and waters, but now the raindrops have begun to fall.

Bai Shuangyan turned on the light and saw that it was already raining outside the window. She saw that Fang Bai wanted to go out and said: You can't take an umbrella. It's so heavy that you will be wet. Don't catch a cold. Why don't you wait until the rain stops before leaving.

Fang Bai didn't want to go out to suffer when he saw the heavy rain, but if the rain stopped, there would be no car to go back.

Then I will live at home today and go to the driving school early tomorrow morning.

Are you there?Even if you get up early, you won’t have a car to take it.

Then I will make an appointment with the coach until the afternoon, it's nothing.

Fang Bai took the clothes and ran to take a shower. Bai Shuangyan took off the packaging of lipstick and perfume, and the glass bottle containing the perfume was made very exquisitely. Bai Shuangyan played with it for a while.

It's been hundreds of times. My son is really nice to me. After only a few dollars, I bought these good things for myself. When I remembered the scene when I invited myself to eat steak last time, I felt a little moved.

That was the heart-warming between men and women. Bai Shuangyan realized this and took the initiative to extinguish the flame in her heart. She decisively made Fang Bai not live at home, so she calmed down.

But when Fang Bai left, she was a little reluctant, but when she thought of Fang Bai's unconcealed hot eyes, Bai Frost Yan finally cut off everything firmly.

After Fang Bai left home last time, he didn't even call, which made Bai Shuangyan very worried about her son's condition.

When he suddenly called himself again this afternoon and said he wanted to come back, Bai Shuangyan felt relieved and seemed to be a little expectant.

After seeing his son, everything returned to normal. After seeing the gift his son bought for him, Bai Shuangyan felt a little throbbing, just like last time.

Hearing the sound of water as Fang Bai bathing inside, Bai Shuangyan couldn't help but look at the bathroom door that was not closed. The weather was too hot, Fang Bai didn't close the door when he took a shower. Bai Shuangyan thought that since her brother paid back the money, it was time to buy an air conditioner for her family. The air conditioner is about to be out of season and the price is being reduced. I will go to the electrical appliance city tomorrow.

Fang Bai had already washed it and blew it under the electric fan. He was emitting heat all over his body, making the whole house full of the hormonal smell on his body. Bai Frostyan was a little intoxicated and looked at her son's strong body a little out of control.

Mom, are you still putting my bedding mat in the old place?

Bai Shuangyan saw that the ground was a little wet and said: The ground was so wet that it was impossible to sleep. If you sleep too much, you will get rheumatoid arthritis.

Then... let's talk about it after I've done it on the ground.

Don’t always stand down and blow. It’s not good to catch a cold. Your aunt has paid back the money. I’ll go check out the air conditioner tomorrow. It’s time to buy one. I don’t know why the summer has become hotter and hotter in the past few years. If this continues, it’s simply impossible to bear it.

Fang Bai thought about it now that he shouldn't spend money randomly. This 4,000 yuan is enough to buy an air conditioner, so he should buy an air conditioner directly for his family to let his mother enjoy it.

I originally wanted to give the 2,000 yuan in the card to my mother, but at least I paid half of the money, but I just told my mother that the bonus was only 1,000 yuan, and it is not easy to take it out now.
