Pei Xueyun sat there and found that Gu Ye and the others were not talking about any profound topics. They were just chatting with Secretary Tang about family matters. They asked about the harvest, how many people were in the family, and whether the elderly were in good health. She became anxious when she heard them.
"Our commune has a good wheat harvest this year. It's a good year!" Secretary Tang opened up when he mentioned the harvest and talked about the situation in his hometown in dialect.
Political Commissar Tang was mesmerized by what he heard.
"Old Tang, you haven't been home for a few years? Are you planning to go back home for the New Year this year?" Captain Zhao was eating the peanuts brought by Tang Luo, and he picked up the bowl filled with liquor and clinked it with Secretary Tang.
"Hey, I haven't been home for four years!" Political Commissar Tang also picked up the bowl and took a sip. The liquor was spicy, and he pouted, "I want to go back!"
"Thanks to the care of the branch secretary, I am still in good health. Otherwise, I would not be able to rest at ease here!"
"Let's go back and take a look when we have time." Gu Ye took a sip of wine, lowered his eyes, and spoke in a low voice.
Pei Xueyun's attention was immediately attracted to him, her heart pounding, what a handsome man!
In the book, she is the male protagonist designed to annoy Jiang Yue, based on the man Jiang Yue likes. In fact, if you read the book carefully, you will know that Gu Ye is not the male protagonist at all. How can the male protagonist only appear in two chapters and then serve as a background board for the rest?
Pei Xueyun's purpose was very clear, which was to make Gu Ye her strong backer. When she encountered trouble, she could just make a phone call and Gu Ye, her husband, would immediately solve it for her.
In fact, they had just gotten married when Gu Ye went on a mission and didn't come back until several months later. At that time, Pei Xueyun had already been admitted to university and received the admission letter to report to the university.
What followed was Pei Xueyun's struggle story. She started with a small business, became successful in her own business, settled in the south, and was surrounded by handsome men. She and Gu Ye saw each other less than twice a year, and she never came back to this staff compound.
While Pei Xueyun was distracted, Xu Fen prepared two more dishes and brought them over.
They were eating, drinking and chatting about family matters, but they didn't talk about business, which made Pei Xueyun very anxious. Tang Xiangxiang happened to come over with her rice bowl. Pei Xueyun grabbed her and said enthusiastically, "Xiangxiang, don't you want to learn English? Can I teach you the alphabet song?"
Tang Xiangxiang: "...No! I want to eat! And I can sing the alphabet song, ABCDEFG..."
Pei Xueyun clapped her hands exaggeratedly, "Xiang Xiang is great!"
Tang Xiangxiang: “…” She took a bite of rice and wondered if her sister was crazy. The alphabet song was so simple, yet she knew it at the age of three.
Pei Xueyun didn't care what Tang Xiangxiang was thinking. She certainly didn't really want to teach Tang Xiangxiang to sing the alphabet song. She said this just to introduce a topic that would allow her to express herself.
"Xiangxiang, you must remember that English is very important. English is a global language. Our country is about to usher in reform and opening up. At that time, many foreigners and foreign capital will enter our country. If you don’t understand English, you will be blind. So you must learn English well and help the country earn extra money in the future!" Pei Xueyun said to Tang Xiangxiang earnestly.
Tang Xiangxiang blinked in confusion, took another bite of rice, thought for a moment, and replied, "Oh!"
Gu Ye, Captain Zhao, and Political Commissar Tang were all shocked after hearing Pei Xueyun's words.
Pei Xueyun had been paying attention to Gu Ye's expression, and now she felt proud. You see, in this era when information was closed and backward, weren't they shocked by her foresight and knowledge?
However, what Pei Xueyun did not see was that after Gu Ye and the other two were shocked, their faces darkened again and they exchanged glances with each other.
"Come, let's drink! Brother Secretary, we are fellow villagers. When fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears. I'll drink this wine, please do as you please!" Captain Zhao's face was flushed from drinking, and his speech was a little lisp.
Secretary Tang was flattered. He quickly picked up the bowl and tried to stand up, but Captain Zhao pushed him back down.
Gu Ye also clinked bowls with Political Commissar Tang and took a sip of wine.
The few of them continued to eat, drink and chat, and no one paid any attention to Pei Xueyun.
Pei Xueyun originally thought that after expressing such a profound opinion, Gu Ye would definitely look at her differently.
Not only did she hint that China's economy would develop rapidly in the future, she also expressed her strong patriotism. No matter what, Gu Ye shouldn't have such an indifferent expression, right?
Shouldn't he encourage her, praise her, and get married tomorrow if they like each other? But why didn't these people react after being shocked for a moment? No one paid any attention to her. Shouldn't they be curious and ask her why she had such foresight?
"Pei Zhiqing, there's water boiling on the stove, come over and help watch the fire!" Xu Fen appeared at this time, pulled Pei Xueyun away, and found a job for Pei Xueyun. She specially filled a pot of water and boiled it on the stove, so that even if Pei Xueyun was in a daze, it would take a long time for the water to boil dry.
She couldn't bear to listen or watch Pei Xueyun continue to act stupidly.
Pei Xueyun entered the kitchen reluctantly. Xu Fen looked from outside the kitchen and saw Pei Xueyun standing there, her eyes unfocused again.
Xu Fen couldn't help but shook her head. This Pei Zhiqing might have some kind of daydreaming problem!
Pei Xueyun was racking her brains at this time to figure out what went wrong. She couldn't understand why Gu Ye didn't follow the plot in the book.
How will she get the plot back on track next?
After three rounds of drinking, the dishes were almost finished. Xu Fen was about to serve the food to the others when Tang Luo came back from outside. Wiping his sweat, he said to Gu Ye, "Uncle Gu, I just saw Auntie and Ningning downstairs."
Gu Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this. He stopped Xu Fen from serving him rice and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't want to eat anymore!"
