447: An unexpected guest arrived
Xu Ying really caught two little roosters on the spot and asked Cuihua to boil water.
Cuihua moved the pot from the car into the kitchen, fetched some water from the well, and came back to boil water to pluck the chicken feathers.
After Yu Jiahui unloaded the wooden boxes from the car, he took a bundle of corn stalks that had been harvested this year and stuffed them into the kang in the main room. He lit the kang, and soon the room became warm.
The others put things in place.
After working for a long time, they finally finished cleaning up and went to the main room to warm up.
Xu Ying, Sai Jinhua, Widow Wang and Cuihua cleaned and cooked.
Two chickens were stewed, and there was a large pot of frozen dried fish that the Yu family got from somewhere, a pot of eggplant and potato stew, a large steamed pumpkin and a few sweet potatoes, a large plate of egg sauce, a large plate of soybean and shrimp paste, some pickled vegetables, and a pot of cornmeal pot stickers.
The Yu family’s previous stove only had two pot openings, and Xu Ying always felt it was not enough.
Especially when there are people eating at home, there are a lot of dishes and rice, and it is very inconvenient to finish cooking one before cooking the next one.
Therefore, Xu Ying specifically asked for an extra pot opening to be added to the stove in the new house, for a total of three pot openings.
Using all three together, cooking is much faster and there is no need to wait.
The meal is ready and served in the main room.
Yu Jiahui specially bought two kilograms of bulk wine from the sales outlet.
Today's meal is their family's housewarming party.
A large group of people sat on the kang and were about to start eating.
Suddenly, there was a creaking sound, the door was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind blew.
Someone entered the main room.
Yu Jiahui thought someone was looking for him and was about to ask some questions.
When I looked up, I saw that the person coming was Zhou Ziheng!
Yu Jiahui shuddered.
Everyone else looked up and saw Zhou Ziheng standing at the door with a smile on his face, and they were all startled.
Especially Yu Xiaoye, when he saw Zhou Ziheng standing there, he almost thought he was suffering from lovesickness and everyone he saw looked like Zhou Ziheng.
When I saw other people’s reactions, I realized that I was not dreaming, Zhou Ziheng really came!
Jia Song was drooling over a large pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms, but when he looked up and saw Zhou Ziheng, his face instantly turned cold and he glanced at Yu Xiaoye, as if to say:
Didn’t you say he didn’t harass you? Why did he come after you in just half a day?
Yu Xiaoye seemed to be able to hear Jia Song's inner thoughts, and looked at Jia Song with a confused look on his face:
I don’t know—I don’t know how he caught up with me.
Xu Ying, who was sitting on the kang, saw Zhou Ziheng and it took her a while to recognize that he was the general manager of Mishan Farm.
Because Xu Ying had rarely seen Zhou Ziheng, she seemed to have seen him once or twice, but they were very far away and she couldn't see him clearly, so it took her a while to remember who he was.
Xu Ying was very surprised to see the chief director coming to their house. She quietly poked Yu Jiahui beside her, meaning, why is the director here?
Yu Jiahui: Yeah, why is this bastard here?
Yu Jiahui looked at his daughter and seriously suspected that it was his daughter who leaked the news of their move to Zhou Ziheng, so Zhou Ziheng came in a hurry.
Yu Xiaoye noticed his father's gaze, turned to him, and explained with his eyes:
No, I didn't say anything. Whether he comes or not has nothing to do with me! I'm not a traitor!
When the others, Hong Cheng, Lao Pu, Sai Jinhua, and Widow Wang saw Director Zhou coming, they all said:
Oh my god, Director Zhou is here at Old Yu’s house!
Everyone in the room was shocked in their own way.
There was silence for a moment.
Only Yu Erye, seeing Director Zhou, stood up with a smile on his face and greeted him:
"Manager, come and sit down. You've arrived just in time. Let's eat together!" This time he was much more eloquent and knew how to take the initiative to greet people.
As soon as Yu Erye spoke, the others stood up and made way for him:
"Director Zhou, come and sit down!"
"You came at the perfect time. We haven't started eating yet, so it's a good time to eat together!"
Then, Xu Ying also reacted belatedly and hurriedly stood up to greet him, even showing a rare smile:
"Captain Zhou, hurry up and get on the kang. Don't be disgusted by our rough food. Come and have something hot to eat!"
Zhou Ziheng nodded and smiled at everyone, without any of his usual condescending attitude:
"Thank you, Auntie. I won't be shy then."
As he spoke, Zhou Ziheng took off the mink hat on his head, took off his military coat, took off his shoes and got on the kang.
Walking towards Yu Xiaoye's back.
Cuihua was sitting next to Yu Xiaoye. When she saw Director Zhou coming, she tactfully gave up her seat.
So, Zhou Ziheng naturally sat down next to Yu Xiaoye.
There was still a hint of coldness on Zhou Ziheng's body, which made Yu Xiaoye's nose a little itchy, and he couldn't help but scratch his nose secretly.
Sai Jinhua was always hospitable, talkative, and cheerful. Seeing that Zhou Ziheng had no airs of a director at all, she sat down directly and couldn't help laughing:
"What an honor today! I'm actually having dinner with Director Zhou. Director Zhou, you're welcome—Old Xu, hurry up and get Director Zhou some bowls and chopsticks!"
"oh!"
Xu Ying took a set of bowls and chopsticks from the basin beside her and handed them to Zhou Ziheng.
Zhou Ziheng took it with both hands and thanked Xu Ying politely.
When others saw him, they were surprised. Director Zhou usually looked so serious and formal, but he was actually so easy-going and polite in private.
Zhou Ziheng took the bowl and chopsticks and said:
"I happened to be here today for something, and when I heard you were moving, I wanted to come and see you. Uncle Yu, congratulations on your new home."
In front of outsiders, Yu Jiahui did not embarrass Zhou Ziheng and put on a smile:
"Thank you, Director. It's a great honor to have Director Zhou visit our home today."
Sai Jinhua greeted:
"Okay, Lao Yu, stop being polite and pour the director some wine!"
"Don't dare, don't
I'd like to trouble Uncle Yu to pour me some wine!"
"Second brother, you come and pour it!"
"Okay!"
Yu Erye agreed readily and got up to move the wine jar.
Yu Jiahui watched the second brother bring the wine jar over, and suddenly remembered that Zhou Ziheng had given him two bottles of Moutai last time. He said it was a housewarming gift. Yu Jiahui said he would open them when Zhou Ziheng came.
I just thought of it as an excuse at the time, but I didn’t expect it would come in handy today!
Then Yu Jiahui stood up and said:
"Let's not drink this. It's a rare occasion for Director Zhou to come to our house today, so let's drink something good."
Yu Jiahui returned to the inner room and took out two bottles of Moutai.
Hong Cheng recognized Moutai at a glance and exclaimed:
"Old Yu, this is Maotai. Where did you get the Maotai? This wine is not easy to buy."
Yu Jiahui didn't want to reveal the origins of the two bottles of Moutai.
However, given their family's current economic level, they probably still cannot afford Moutai.
He was worried that people would think this was a bribe, so he could only tell the truth:
"This Moutai was given to me by Director Zhou some time ago. Director Zhou happened to be here today, so why don't we drink it together?"
Lao Pu, Sai Jinhua, Hong Cheng, Widow Wang and others were all surprised when they heard that Director Zhou actually gave Yu Jiahui two bottles of Moutai. They really didn't expect that Yu Jiahui had such a good personal relationship with the director?
When did they get together?
Why didn’t Lao Yu reveal anything to anyone?
