Principal Guo retracted his gaze and said, "Old Xu! You came back with Comrade Yan, Comrade Zhong, and the others. Do you know why they suddenly invited us to dinner?"
"I want to know too." Professor Ding looked at the person opposite him.
Principal Xu looked left and right and sighed, "They registered their marriage."
"marry?!"
Principal Guo was surprised, while Professor Ding remained relatively calm. "I heard they had been planning to get married for a long time. If it weren't for the Chinese New Year, they would have gotten married long ago. I just didn't expect them to get married this way, without even having time to prepare a gift."
Principal Guo didn't have time to restrain his expression. He turned to look at Professor Ding, as if to say: You knew it a long time ago.
Professor Ding spread his hands and said, "It's normal for young men and women to get married. They're already married, so they must have passed the political review."
Yes! With Zhong Yuxiu's ability, anyone who wants to marry her will definitely be strictly investigated; if they can get married, then what does that mean, if not they have passed the political review?
One thing that has to be admitted is that Yan Rushan has an excellent family background and good character. As the eldest grandson of Yan Jia, he is a match for Zhong Yuxiu in terms of family background, status and character.
Even if he had achieved nothing now, nothing to look up to, what about the future? With the Yan family as his backer and Zhong Yuxiu constantly encouraging him to move forward, who could predict his future?
"That's what you said." Principal Guo suddenly realized and uttered something in the dialect with an accent.
Especially the last word "ha" is very interesting.
"They are a talented man and a beautiful woman. Not to mention their family background, they are also well matched in terms of knowledge," Professor Ding corrected.
Principal Guo nodded and agreed. "After all, no matter how you look at it, they are a perfect match. You can't find any fault with them." No matter what, he couldn't go against his conscience and say that they were not a good match.
"The food is here." Zhong Yuxiu held a porcelain plate in each hand, filled with plump white buns. When she reached them, she placed the plates on the coffee table in front of them. "Teacher, Principal Guo, Professor Ding, we didn't have time to make pastries at home. These are just enough to fill your stomachs. Dinner will be served soon. I wonder if they suit your taste."
"How could white bread not be appetizing? We've all been through hardship, and we know white flour is precious. These foods are just as good. Back in the countryside, it was hard to even get a meal of white flour, but now that we're back, we can have it every day. Unfortunately, I don't have the same strong desire I had back then, so it's not as delicious as I imagined." Professor Ding picked up a bun and took a bite. "It's really soft, even better than what's sold outside."
Principal Guo and Principal Xu each took one. Principal Xu was the first to taste it. "Not bad, it's filled with meat, not too greasy. It's paired with cabbage, and it tastes just right."
"This one of mine is also good, with a sweet filling." Principal Guo broke the bun in his hand into two halves to show them.
"The fillings are plentiful, the wrappers are thin, and there are so many varieties. Yuxiu! Your dog is truly capable. Every day when he comes home, he can eat whatever he wants. You must be so lucky." Principal Xu said with envy, "We old folks don't have that kind of blessing."
Professor Ding waved his hands as he ate. "Don't take me with you. If Yuxiu comes to work at Huada, I can still eat here from time to time. Goudan's pickled radish slices are also very good. They're appetizing and go well with rice, but they're a little cold. You need to heat them up before eating."
"Comrade Zhong, I won't call you Comrade Zhong anymore." Principal Guo perked up. "Yuxiu, do you think it's okay for me to call you that?"
If you are too nice to someone without any reason, there will be no good thing happening.
With this in mind, she couldn't say, "As you please."
"Then I'll call you Yuxiu from now on." Principal Guo said with a smile, "Look, we're old friends. When you bring food to Old Ding, can you also bring some for me? I won't eat for free, you can give me money and tickets."
Principal Xu said, "Yuxiu, you are such a dishonest girl! Am I still your teacher? You bring food to Professor Ding but not to me."
"Teacher, Principal Guo, please stop making trouble. From now on, whenever I need something, I'll definitely bring you some, okay?" He was really willing to fight for a meal. "As for money and notes, forget about it. I can still afford this little bit of food."
Principal Guo nodded repeatedly, "Good girl, straightforward!"
For the sake of a little food, Principal Guo has lost all his moral integrity.
"Yuxiu, remember to bring me breakfast when you come to class next time. The steamed buns made by Goudan are so delicious, breakfast should be even better, so I will bring you something good too. A while ago, a student gave me some New Year gifts, including a large portion of ham. I will give you half of it." Principal Xu smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
"Okay! But the noodles that Goudan sometimes makes for us tend to clump together easily, so I can't bring them to you." Noodles are best eaten on the spot. If they clump together, the taste will be greatly reduced.
Principal Xu nodded without hesitation, "Alright, that's it."
Principal Guo was extremely envious, his eyes full of envy; it was not the first time that he had tasted Goudan’s cooking, but he still wanted to eat it every time.
Yan Rushan poked his head out of the kitchen and said, "Yuxiu, have the three elders wash their hands and prepare to eat. Goudan just needs to stir-fry one more dish and we'll be ready."
"Got it." Zhong Yuxiu responded and looked at the three elderly people. "Teacher, Principal Guo, Professor Ding, please follow me."
The three of them followed him to the bathroom, washed their hands, and came out. They were led by Zhong Yuxiu to the restaurant to sit down. Yan Rushan, Haonan, and Tian Shangguo each brought their dishes to the table. Goudan walked last, and he brought a bowl of red soup.
"Is it beef? I smell beef." Professor Ding sniffed.
Principal Guo stared at the red soup and nodded, "It looks like it."
"It's definitely beef," Principal Xu said firmly. Those who study Chinese medicine have relatively more sensitive senses than the average person; one sniff, one glimpse of the broth, and he knows everything. "Beef slices in red oil."
A smile flashed in Yan Rushan's eyes, "Yes, it is indeed red oil beef slices."
Principal Xu chuckled proudly and chatted with Principal Guo and Professor Ding about his own achievements.
Haonan and Tian Shangguo secretly laughed. These old people were really interesting. They were obviously old, but they refused to admit their age. They were capable and playful, and their mental age seemed to be getting younger.
It is not without reason that people say that old children are just old children.
"Brother Yan, Grandpa and Xiaohai should be back by now. Please invite them to come over for dinner. They don't know what to eat at home, so it will save them trouble if they come over and have dinner together." Zhong Yuxiu said.
Yan Rushan shook his head. "They should have eaten by now. Grandpa eats at work, and Xiaohai eats at school. Don't worry about them. They won't starve."
"Then send some buns, steamed buns and dumplings to grandpa and the others later." Zhong Yuxiu said, Goudan stepped aside on his own accord, took a winnowing basket and went upstairs; a moment later, he came down with half a winnowing basket of noodles.
Yan Rushan took a look and accepted it with pleasure without refusing.
