In the spring of 1972, on a train heading to the Great Northern Wilderness for re-education, Chu Miaohong quietly tossed an old envelope into the wind. Far away in the year 2024, Zhang Hongcheng co...
Beyond the mountains there are green mountains, beyond the buildings there are buildings, when will the singing and dancing in the West Lake stop?
Zhang Hongcheng didn't expect that he couldn't avoid Building W when he came to Hangzhou this time.
Interestingly, the person responsible for contacting the meeting place was the best-performing boy among Chu Miaohong’s many high school classmates.
Of course, the fee must be AA.
These days no one dares to show off their wealth openly.
There is also live singing and dancing. When young people get drunk and have a great time chatting, it is normal for you to pull me and you to do a Z-shaped dance in the open space next to you.
The only thing Zhang Hongcheng didn't expect was that the scene he imagined of one or more boys being determined to fall in love with Chu Miaohong and then slapping him in the face as her boyfriend did not happen at all.
It is now 1975, but there is none of the impetuousness and secret division into different classes that existed after the 1990s.
The education this generation has received and everything they are experiencing enable them to treat every classmate equally.
The particular era has made these twenty-year-old young people mature early on.
In particular, the young man who took the lead in organizing the party had already learned about Zhang Hongcheng's background from Peng Aifen.
This made Zhang Hongcheng, who had been prepared to deal with various plots in the novel, secretly happy for a long time.
The young man who organized the dinner was called Shi Wenxin, a salesperson at a bamboo weaving factory in Hangzhou.
Although it is a small collective unit, the fact that he can get a formal salesperson position shows that this person is capable and has good vision.
It is naturally more pleasant to have a meal with someone who is discerning.
The subtle flattery and the appropriate art of language can make people feel refreshed.
This made Peng Aifen, who was afraid of chaos in the world, feel secretly regretful. She secretly said that Shi Wenxin was too cunning. He didn't even call out to any of those people in the class who had been obsessed with Chu Miaohong.
No one at the table was still obsessed with Chu Miaohong, but what was funny was that several of Chu Miaohong's female classmates were full of curiosity about Zhang Hongcheng.
And when these curious girls are all good-looking, those who should understand the meaning of the question will naturally understand.
Although Chu Miaohong is the most beautiful, there are still some aspects of the Chu family that can be criticized.
Besides, aren’t Section Chief Zhang and Chu Miaohong still married?
Even though it's just a half-old van parked outside the door, young deputy section chiefs who can drive around are rarer than giant pandas these days.
And he's not bad looking either.
Chu Miaohong looked at Zhang Hongcheng indifferently as he was hesitating, and she didn't like the dishes that Zhang Hongcheng so attentively picked for her.
In the end, Zhang Hongcheng had to find an excuse and take Chu Miaohong away early.
If I stay any longer, I don’t know how angry my future daughter-in-law will be.
Driving the silent Chu Miaohong back in the car, Zhang Hongcheng racked his brains to praise LWL's dishes, just to make his girlfriend happy.
It’s not that Zhang Hongcheng deliberately lied to make his girlfriend happy.
People in later generations have been talking about how good the food at LouWL was. Zhang Hongcheng came here to see for himself and realized that LWL at that time had chefs of the state banquet level in charge.
It turns out that several signature dishes such as West Lake Vinegar Fish and Dongpo Pork need to be reserved one day in advance.
Not to mention the West Lake vinegar fish, just that bowl of Dongpo pork would take half a day to simmer on low heat.
Which customer in the future can afford to wait for such a long cooking time?
In the end, Chu Miaohong could only smile, grit her teeth and punch her partner.
Those female classmates, huh...
In order to divert the target's attention, Zhang Hongcheng deliberately mentioned to Chu Miaohong that he wanted to go see the old man of the Chu family.
Unexpectedly, Chu Miaohong sighed and refused.
It turned out that Sun Suyun privately told Chu Miaohong that half a year ago, Mr. Chu was taken away from the place where he was exiled, saying that he was going to study.
The old man once sent a letter back to Sun Suyun, asking his family not to contact him within two years.
The family members naturally understand the meaning behind this.
This news made Chu Miaohong put aside some of her worries about her grandfather.
Zhang Hongcheng could only force a smile.
What should we do with this marriage now that Mr. Chu is not around?
His brake pads have been smoking these days.
......
Many guesthouses in Shanghai resumed operations as early as the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, while the Bingtuan Guesthouse, which was struggling, resumed operations on the sixth day.
If Zhang Hongcheng wasn't afraid of being scolded by the Corps, he would even want to go to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Anyway, there are no guests staying here...
Zhang Hongcheng and his friend decided to rush back to Shanghai on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
The fourth day of the Lunar New Year was their last day with Sun Suyun this year.
How can one prove to the neighbors these days that the young man brought home by their daughter is the future son-in-law that they approve of?
In the Northeast, the future son-in-law would have to take possession of a large pile of cabbages from his future father-in-law's family.
If he can become the main force of Yue family in the future, then there is a high probability that he will not be able to escape the position of son-in-law.
In the 1970s and 1980s in the south, recognized future sons-in-law also had their own exclusive job - helping their parents-in-law make honeycomb coal.
Whenever the couple approves of a young man, they will look for an opportunity to make honeycomb coal at home.
Firstly, it has an auspicious homonym, meaning "work with coal, work with coal"; secondly, it tests the boy's attitude towards the girl.
Since the family uses the coal briquettes made by the son-in-law, the marriage between the two is basically certain.
Zhang Hongcheng, who was recognized by Chu's mother, naturally could not escape this test.
It was a sunny day on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. The honeycomb coals, still damp, stretched out in rows of three for a long distance along the corner of the Chu family's wall.
Chu Miaohong held a cup of water and a towel, and stood by her boyfriend who was busy and sweating, smiling.
When the future son-in-law is making coal, the neighbors will of course not come to help, but just watch and laugh.
