262: Heartless Idiot
After pouring two rounds of wine, I was already drooling.
Rather than suffer this, she would rather go to the cafeteria and get a serving of stewed potatoes and cabbage with steamed buns!
A table full of fish and meat, what does that have to do with her? ! !
If I get a stomachache because I'm hungry while having dinner with my boss, can it be considered a work-related injury?
Yu Xiaoye was busy pouring wine and serving food, hardly stopping for a moment, and he didn't even get to eat a few bites of the food.
When I finally had some free time, I was almost fainting from hunger. Finally, I picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in my mouth with trembling hands.
But the meat is already cold—
Although the weather is warm now, the food will not be too cold even if it is cooled, but the braised pork should be eaten while it is hot to enjoy the rich flavor. If it is cooled, not only will the taste be greatly reduced, but it will also make your stomach uncomfortable.
After all, I didn’t get to eat a bite of hot braised pork!
Just as Yu Xiaoye was sighing silently over the half-bowl of cold braised pork, Zhou Ziheng suddenly reached out, picked up the bowl of meat and said to Director Sui:
"Could you please heat up the meat?"
Director Sui quickly stretched out his hand, took the meat bowl and shouted outside:
"Come here and heat up the meat!"
When Director Sui's wife heard the call, she ran out of the kitchen and took the braised pork to heat it up.
This was the second time Yu Xiaoye suspected Director Zhou of having the ability to read minds:
Why does he always know what I'm thinking?
When she was thirsty in the morning, he asked her to drink water.
The meat was cold at noon, so he helped her warm it up.
Is this man sure he doesn't have the ability to read minds?
Director, if you really can read minds, can you look at me?
Yu Xiaoye pretended to glance at Zhou Ziheng casually.
Zhou Ziheng didn't look at her, his face expressionless, he ate his food without looking away.
At this time, the other people at the table were already a little drunk and started to put their arms around each other and call each other brothers.
Seeing that others were busy talking about friendship, Yu Xiaoye deliberately asked in a low voice:
"Director, do you like braised pork too?"
When Zhou Ziheng heard this, he sighed slightly and turned his head to look at Yu Xiaoye. His eyes were complicated, showing dissatisfaction, complaints, and unconcealable heartache.
His lips moved, as if he was chewing the food in his mouth, or as if he was about to speak.
But in the end he said nothing and turned his head back.
Well, he probably doesn't have any mind-reading ability, otherwise if he heard all the complaints I made in front of him, wouldn't he have beaten me to death?
Maybe it's just pure care?
The heated braised pork was quickly brought back and placed in front of Zhou Ziheng.
Zhou Ziheng thanked him and asked Director Sui's wife:
"Are there any steamed buns?"
"Yes, yes, yes. You were drinking just now, so I didn't bring it up. I'll go get it now!"
Soon, Director Sui’s wife brought in a basket of flower-shaped steamed buns.
The steamed buns are slightly yellow, probably because they are steamed with a mixture of white flour and corn flour.
Zhou Ziheng took two and calmly placed them in Yu Xiaoye's bowl:
"Eat quickly."
Yu Xiaoye was almost moved to tears of gratitude. He picked up the steaming bun and said sincerely:
"Thank you, Director."
Yu Xiaoye lowered his head and took a bite of the steamed bun, then picked up a piece of steaming braised pork with chopsticks, placed it on the bitten hole, and took a big bite while tilting his head.
Put the braised pork and steamed buns into your mouth together.
The salty, fragrant and fatty braised pork is mixed with the soft steamed buns. The more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes. It is so delicious that you will cry!
Moreover, the heated braised pork is softer and more flavorful, and it really melts in your mouth.
He swallowed a big mouthful and it fell into his stomach.
The sour stomach finally stopped roaring and began to digest the hard-earned braised pork with satisfaction.
In the end, Yu Xiaoye ate the half bowl of meat alone.
The two steamed buns were completely eaten by her.
When Cui Xinrong came to find her as agreed, she saw that the others were already drunk and chatting.
Yu Xiaoye was the only one left at the table, busy eating without stopping.
Zhou Ziheng, who was standing aside, leaned against the back of his chair and looked at Yu Xiaoye with a loving look as he concentrated on eating.
Cui Xinrong called Yu Xiaoye away on the pretext that they had to rehearse in the afternoon.
Before getting up, Yu Xiaoye quietly took out the handkerchief that Director Zhou had lent her in the morning from her pocket, secretly placed it on Director Zhou's legs under the table, and then stood up and left.
Zhou Ziheng looked down and saw the handkerchief on his legs, and cursed silently in his heart:
Heartless thing!
Blind eyes and blind mind!
How could there be such a dumb idiot like her?!
Zhou Ziheng felt a tightness in his chest.
There was nothing I could do but put the handkerchief away and put it back in my pocket.
Yu Xiaoye ate his fill, and when he passed by the kitchen, he did not forget to thank the chef. He ran into the kitchen and said to Director Sui's wife who was still busy in the kitchen:
"Auntie, you worked hard today. The dishes you cooked are so delicious and fragrant!"
A few simple words of praise made Director Sui's wife smile from ear to ear:
"It's delicious. I'll come back next time."
"good!"
Yu Xiaoye said something polite and left with Cui Xinrong.
After leaving Director Sui's house, Yu Xiaoye touched his round belly and said:
"I'm done. We have chorus rehearsal this afternoon. I'm so full I'm afraid I won't be able to sing."
Cui Xinrong glanced at her sideways, and seeing that her face was greasy from eating, especially her lips, she smiled and said:
"Didn't you say you couldn't eat a full meal in peace? I see you eat more than anyone else."
Yu Xiaoye wanted to say, that was all thanks to Director Zhou. If Director Zhou hadn't helped her heat up the dishes and asked for steamed buns, how could she have eaten so comfortably?
Director Zhou is a good man!
Yu Xiaoye returned to the team for training.
Director Zhou and others had their meal, took a short rest, and left the five-minute field together.
Before leaving, Zhou Ziheng took time out to go to the hall where the propaganda team was rehearsing.
When they arrived at the hall, the girls from the propaganda team were standing on the stage rehearsing the chorus, and Liang Qin was standing in front of them clapping the rhythm.
When they saw Director Zhou appear at the door, the girls' chorus rhythm was instantly disrupted and their eyes began to dart around.
Liang Qin noticed the girls' abnormality, turned around and saw Zhou Ziheng standing at the door of the hall.
Liang Qin immediately left the chorus and walked towards the stage.
As soon as Liang Qin left, the chorus became weaker.
Some people were talking among themselves.
Xiang Xuemei stared intently at Zhou Ziheng, who was standing tall and straight in his military uniform at the door, and asked:
"Hey, who's that person at the door? He looks so majestic!"
Xia Ning, who was standing next to Xiang Xuemei, sneered:
"You don't even recognize that person. Isn't that the headmaster of our farm? He was also at the training ground this morning. Didn't you see him then?"
Another female educated youth named Wang Yongmei laughed and said:
"She was so busy flirting with a young man from the pig farming class this morning, how could she have cared less about other people?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk——" a burst of chuckles.
The chorus suddenly fell silent, leaving only Shao Xia still playing the accordion.
Xiang Xuemei felt a little embarrassed when someone exposed what happened that morning, but it was only for a moment. She continued to stare at Zhou Ziheng and said:
"So he's Director Zhou. He's so young. How did he become the general director at such a young age?"
