Chapter 15: Taking the Family to Dinner



Chu family,

Chu Yun is the chef. Today, there are not only fish in the fish basket, but also small shrimps and crabs. She is ready to show off her skills and make a seafood feast.

Li Lihua was busy helping her daughter.

When she found out her daughter could cook, she secretly cried all night. This young lady from a wealthy family had never done housework, and her adoptive parents had ruthlessly driven their daughter away. Her Xiaoyun must have suffered a lot over the years.

Originally, she was reluctant to let her daughter go into the kitchen to cook, but the food she cooked was not as delicious as her daughter's, and Xiaoyun was a little uncomfortable with it. In addition, Xiaoyun was a filial child who wanted to take care of their health, so she was relieved and distressed.

In the small and simple house next door, Chu Qingshan was talking to Zhou Yuheng.

He was a man of culture, and when he heard that Zhou Yuheng was also from Beijing, he asked with joy and emotion about the current changes and developments in Beijing.

The development of the capital is no secret, so Zhou Yuheng naturally knows everything about it and tells everyone about the current policies and welfare benefits that benefit society.

Chu Qingshan is from Beijing, but he followed his mother to Shanghai to study at his grandmother's home when he was fifteen, while his father stayed in his hometown to develop his career.

Later, times changed dramatically. His family was investigated and his father was sent down to the countryside. Naturally, he and his mother could not escape the criticism and struggle, and the whole family was sent down to different poor and backward areas.

In that era, communication was not well developed and family reunion was a luxury.

He endured this for a few years. First, he received the news of his father's death, and less than a year later, his mother also passed away. He was heartbroken.

Although it has been a long time, Chu Qingshan, a grown man, couldn't help but tear up when he heard about the development of his hometown.

"Okay, everything is finally okay."

After the Gang of Four was crushed in the early years, he thought he could return to the city like other educated youth, but he didn't expect to wait year after year without any news.

From his youth to middle age, he stayed on the island and had no idea of ​​the changes in the outside world. Now, in addition to feeling emotional, he also longed to go home.

Chu Qingshan wiped away his tears, not knowing if he would have the chance to go back in this lifetime.

Zhou Yuheng had no idea what he was thinking. Seeing him crying with joy, he simply thought he was happy for the country's development and comforted him, "Uncle Chu, traveling is more convenient now than before. You can ask Comrade Chu to take you out for a walk when you have time."

Chu Qingshan was moved when he heard this and said with a smile, "Let's talk about it when we have a chance."

His registered residence is on the island, so he has to report any travel he does, so going to the capital is simply a luxury.

Zhou Yuheng found it a little strange. Nowadays, ordinary people can afford the travel expenses by going to the brigade to get a letter of introduction. In theory, traveling is not a difficult thing. Uncle Chu's emotion seems as if there is something stopping him from going.

at the same time,

Liang family.

Liang Qiuting was in a bad mood when she got home. Liang Jianguo came home from get off work and saw his daughter like this. He asked, "Da Ting, what happened? Didn't you see Captain Zhou and the others?"

It would be fine if this matter was not mentioned, but Liang Qiuting gets angry as soon as it is mentioned.

"I was just saying it, it's all Chu Yun's fault, she messed up everything."

Hearing Chu Yun's name, Liang Jianguo's eyebrows jumped, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with that girl? Isn't she also chatting with Captain Zhou and the others?"

"Why are you trying to flirt with me? They already know each other. Captain Zhou ignored me when he saw Chu Yun."

"What! They know each other?"

Liang Jianguo was in a state of panic and felt a little anxious.

He has been dragging on with the household registration issue these past few days just to teach that girl a lesson.

Who would have thought that she actually knew Captain Zhou and the others.

"No, Dad has to go back to the brigade. You guys eat and leave me alone."

Having said that, Yang Jianguo hurried away with his briefcase.

Liang Qiuting was confused and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Unfortunately, Liang Jianguo left in a hurry and didn't hear it at all.

Over here,

There was a lot of seafood prepared for today's feast, and the four adults couldn't finish it, so there was a lot left.

I only ate one of the two servings of braised fish heads, and there was also a lot of fried dried fish and seafood fried rice.

The weather is hot now, and seafood and other things cannot be left out. The Chu family of three cannot finish so much in one night.

The Chu couple thought of packing some for their benefactor, and Chu Yun also found a clean oil paper bag, picked out a few and packed them, and asked Zhou Yuheng to take them back.

Comrade Zhou definitely couldn't finish it, but he still had teammates.

"Comrade Zhou, these are all clean and untouched. Seafood can't be kept for long. Take them back and let your friends try them."

Zhou Yuheng originally wanted to refuse, but looking at Chu Yun's sincere and enthusiastic eyes, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Thank you very much. Thank you, Comrade Chu, for them as well."

This era was different from modern times. Food and meat were precious, and there was nothing delicious on the island. The team traveled for two days and had to eat dry food.

She is a good cook and the food she makes is exceptionally delicious. It is a kind act not to waste food and to let everyone eat it.

Zhou Yun smiled, quickly found a basket, and handed it to him: "You're welcome, as long as you don't mind."

Zhou Yuheng politely thanked him: "No, thank you for your hard work today, Comrade Chu."

Although the squad members are all from aristocratic families, they are more importantly the people's soldiers. When they are out on missions, it is common for them to eat dry food and drink cold water. How could they dislike a feast of fish and meat? Those guys were so happy that they couldn't contain themselves.

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Chu Yun thought that he seemed to be carrying out a mission here, so he casually said:

"It's different out there than at home, and Comrade Zhou is my savior. If you want to eat anything, just tell me. I can cook most dishes. Come home for dinner when you have time."

Zhou Yuheng heard this and looked at the sincere and bright girl in front of him. He was inexplicably reminded of her simple behavior before. He cleared his throat and said tactfully, "Comrade Chu, don't worry about it. It's my job and it's a piece of cake. This meal today is my repayment for your kindness. I won't need it in the future."

After all, she is a young girl who has not yet gone to college, but he is an adult. How can he take advantage of the girl's food rations? Unmarried men and women should keep a distance to avoid bringing bad influence to others.

Chu Yun was stunned when she heard this, and then reacted belatedly.

In this era, in addition to being backward in all aspects, men and women also have to keep a distance from each other. If you watch TV dramas from the past, couples have to keep a distance of one meter when walking together, not to mention other things.

Chu Yun was a little embarrassed. Would Comrade Zhou mistakenly think that she had ulterior motives like Liang Qiuting?

Although her savior was handsome and stylish, she really had no other intentions and just felt grateful to him as her savior.

What a misunderstanding this is.

Chu Yun wanted to explain, but what if the other person didn't think so? Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing for her to explain?

In the end, he could only feign composure and nodded, "Okay, I understand, Comrade Zhou."
