Chapter 169 Uncle Li's Determination to Join the Party
"Mom is going back with my eldest brother to celebrate the New Year, so what about us? Should we stay here to celebrate the New Year?"
Rong Mei just happened to mention this issue, so Zhou Nanxu naturally took the opportunity to have a good discussion with his wife. The Chinese New Year was just a few days away, and after they had discussed the result, they could make preparations in advance.
But, well...it's called a discussion, but in fact, it's all up to Rong Mei...
My wife said she didn't want to bother with that and wanted to stay here for the New Year, so she stayed here. My wife said if she wanted to go back to Harbin, then we would go back to Harbin together. Of course, if we went back to the black market, he would have no objection and would pack up and go back to the black market with her.
Rong Mei frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Since mother and elder brother are going back, let's go back together. I have no problem with that. The main thing is you..."
Zhou Nanxu hurriedly interrupted Rong Mei and said, "I have no problem here either. I'll go see which day's train I can buy tomorrow. However, it may not be easy to buy a sleeper ticket on the eve of the New Year."
"Forget it, no need to buy tickets, let's drive back by ourselves." Rong Mei gave the man a helpless smile.
Instead of squeezing into a train during the Spring Festival travel rush, it is better to drive back by yourself. Taking the train will only make you more tired.
She and Zhou Nanxu can take turns driving.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Zhou Nanxu felt so sweet in his heart when he thought that this was his first New Year spent with his wife.
The two walked to the front street together. Rong Mei went to Uncle Li's noodle shop alone, while Zhou Nanxu went to Fumanju to book a table.
It was not dinner time, so Rong Mei did not see Uncle Li, but when she heard some noises coming from the kitchen, she knew someone was busy working.
He placed the gift he brought for Uncle Li on the table, sat down, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Boss, give me a bowl of beef noodles!"
"Sorry, we are closed at this time." Uncle Li did not come out, but refused from inside.
Rong Mei certainly had no intention of getting up and leaving. She pretended to be pitiful through the door curtain towards the kitchen, "Boss, please be kind, I haven't eaten for several days..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a sound of pots and pans colliding in the kitchen, and then Uncle Li, wearing an apron, came out.
Uncle Li's eyes swept over Rong Mei. He was stunned at first, and then his originally dim eyes suddenly brightened up. The corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably, revealing a row of neat, big white teeth.
He walked quickly towards Rong Mei, "Girl, when did you come back?"
"I just came back. As soon as I got back, I missed your noodles, Uncle Li." Rong Mei looked at Uncle Li and answered with a smile.
Uncle Li said cheerfully, "Okay, wait for me, I'll cook for you right away." Then he turned around and went back into the kitchen.
After a while, a bowl of hot noodles was served on the table.
Rong Mei was already hungry due to the aroma of the noodles. She couldn't wait to take out the chopsticks from the chopstick bucket and picked up a piece of beef and put it in her mouth.
I gave Uncle Li a thumbs up and said contentedly, "It's still so delicious."
Uncle Li looked very happy, and looked as loving as if he was looking at his own child. "Then you can eat more. If the beef is not enough, you can have more. I will cut it for you now."
Not a single sip of soup was left, and Rong Mei finished the entire bowl of noodles by herself.
Uncle Li took the bowl away. Rong Mei wiped her mouth and then took the gift for Uncle Li that was placed on the table.
When Uncle Li came out of the kitchen again, Rong Mei handed over the gift in her hand, her eyes curved, "I brought you something."
"Just go. It's really troublesome to bring something from such a long distance. You're so thoughtful." Like Liu Rong, although Uncle Li complained, he was touched and happy to take the gift in his heart.
Rong Mei didn't care. After looking Uncle Li up and down, she changed the subject and said, "Uncle Li, you look so young these days. It seems to me that you look a lot younger in just a few days."
"Girl, you are teasing me again, aren't you? I am just cleaning up to be more tidy. I am opening a business, so I have to leave a good impression on the customers."
Uncle Li had long been accustomed to other people's teasing during this period of time, so he didn't feel so guilty when facing Rong Mei.
Rong Mei crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes still fixed on Uncle Li's face, not missing any details. "It's not as simple as being clean and refreshed, right? Tsk tsk, what has stimulated you recently? Look at your hair, you've even put on some wax, and your beard is shaved clean. What did you use to make your teeth so white?! Recommend some to me."
Uncle Li:......
Many people have made fun of him, but this is the first time he has been teased with such detailed information.
However, seeing Rong Mei asking questions knowing the answer, Uncle Li didn't want to pretend anymore and just went for broke. "I just listened to your advice."
Seeing that Uncle Li had confessed to her and was lenient, Rong Mei stopped pretending and showed her eight neatly arranged white teeth. She chuckled and said, "So how has everything progressed during the time I was away?"
I can't figure out what's going on with Liu Rong, so why can't I come to Uncle Li to get some gossip?
She is most interested in watching other people fall in love, and she is even more interested in the love of the elderly.
"This......." Uncle Li was suddenly asked and couldn't explain it for a moment.
Seeing that Uncle Li hadn't said anything for a long time, Rong Mei sighed, raised her hand and patted Uncle Li on the shoulder, "Hey, I understand, I understand, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard."
"But you still have to tell me the details. Only after I know this can I continue to give you advice. Don't you think so, uncle? You can't hide anything from me. I am very concerned about you and mother's affairs. This time I came to you to ask about the situation."
[Author: Are you sure you don’t want to gossip? ]
Having said that, Uncle Li no longer intended to hide anything and sighed, "Well, I can't really say what Comrade Liu Rong thinks of me, but what I can be sure of is that my thoughts about Comrade Liu Rong are 100% sincere."
When he said the last sentence, he straightened his back unconsciously, and his eyes seemed to show his determination to join the Party.
