When Chen Guihua and Grandma Zhu arrived at the courtyard gate of the second-floor street office building, they saw three rows of long tables in the courtyard.
The long tables were covered with red tablecloths, and some melon seeds and small sweet fruits were placed on the tables.
At this time, many old men and women had come and were sitting at the table eating melon seeds and chatting.
Grandma Zhu and Shen Guihua also found a seat side by side and sat down.
As soon as Chen Guihua sat down, a tall old man about fifty years old walked up to her.
"Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?"
Shen Guihua glanced at the empty seat next to her and said lightly, "No one is sitting here, you can sit down!"
After saying that, Shen Guihua turned around and started chatting with Grandma Zhu.
After the old man sat down, he saw Chen Guihua and Grandma Zhu chatting about trivial family matters, so he joined in and chatted for a few words.
Grandma Zhu found the old man quite interesting. The other old men all disliked the old ladies for being so nagging, but he actually liked to chat with women, so they looked at him twice more, but he seemed a little strange to them.
"Hey, big brother, why don't I seem to have seen you before? Did you live on our street before?"
The old man smiled and explained, "My name is Wu Youbang. I just moved here a few days ago, so I'm not very familiar with everyone."
"Just moved here?" Chen Guihua asked.
"Yes, my husband passed away, and I was living alone, which was very sad, so I just picked a strange place to stay to relax."
Grandma Zhu nodded and said, "You are such a devoted man. I don't think my husband will be sad after I'm gone."
Grandma Zhu and her husband have a dull relationship. He basically doesn't accompany Grandma Zhu out, otherwise Grandma Zhu wouldn't ask Chen Guihua to go out and play.
Most people in that era were relatively conservative. Even if their relationship was dull, they would not think of divorce. In their minds, the only option was to become a widow.
Chen Guihua did not praise Wu Youbang like Grandma Zhu did, but instead seriously thought about Wu Youbang's identity.
Although she knew from the other party's words that this was the first time she met Wu Youbang, she always felt that Wu Youbang was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere, but she couldn't remember where.
At this time, Director Tao from the Street Office walked to the middle of the concave shape formed by three long tables.
"Everyone, uncle, aunt, good morning!"
Director Tao is a middle-aged woman in her thirties. She is beautiful and capable. She has a good reputation in this street. Everyone likes her very much, so they all recommended her to be the director.
After Director Tao spoke, everyone shut up and all their eyes turned to Director Tao.
"Thank you all uncles and aunties for joining us at our sunset tea party today!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was applause from the audience.
After the applause died down, Director Tao smiled and said, "Today, we have invited Dr. Mo from the county Chinese medicine hospital to talk to you about Chinese medicine health preservation. Let's welcome Dr. Mo with warm applause!"
There was another round of applause at the scene, and Dr. Mo came to the main seat in the center of the tea party and sat down amid everyone's applause. After exchanging a few words with everyone, he began to give everyone some basic health care tips.
During the process, several uncles and aunts asked questions, and Dr. Mo received them warmly, winning applause.
The street office was worried that everyone was thirsty, so they started serving tea to the old men and women present.
Chen Guihua was busy listening to the lecture and did not drink tea.
