Chapter 58: Mother's Heart
An Zhiqiu looked at Fei Zheng with more eager eyes than usual: "Fei Zhiqing, how long have you been practicing your cooking skills? How did you practice it?"
An Zhixia was too embarrassed to look at her own brother. Cooking skills are someone's way of making a living, so how could she ask so casually?
Fei Zheng didn't dare to look him in the eye. She chuckled and said, "I have been helping grandpa peel garlic and onions since I was old enough to understand, until I left home and came here. After practicing every day for more than ten years, I am naturally more skilled than others. In fact, cooking skills are not that great. Everyone starts from the basics and becomes proficient after practicing more times."
An Zhiqiu nodded: "My sister said the same thing. Only when you have a solid foundation can you achieve a hundred changes."
Fang Hongye bit her chopsticks and wrinkled her face. Suddenly, she remembered a sentence: If you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach! The dimples at the corners of her mouth bloomed slightly, and she made a decision in her heart.
Nie Yichang was getting a little impatient. He had been here for three years. How could he not know that there was a cook hiding beside him? He had come to Hetang Village in vain for food, and even changed several people. Now he was on An Zhiqiu's pirate ship. For a foodie, it was really a pity to cry.
After seeing everyone off, An Zhiqiu pushed An Zhixia back into the house and rolled up his sleeves to clean up the pots and pans.
In the next few days, An Zhixia went to the cafeteria to help out and used her rest time to put things in order. When she was halfway through the work, she heard a knock on the courtyard door.
She called her brother twice, but no one answered, so she had to go out and open the door herself.
The tall Fang Yuan stood at the door, his head almost touching the door frame. Even though he was at a distance, his hot breath with a faint aroma of wine still made her heart skip a beat.
She quickly stepped back, looking at the Adam's apple rolling up and down, her palms actually sweating, and asked with a smile: "Comrade Fang, are you looking for my brother?" She thought to herself that the boss is the boss, his presence is so strong that even she, the rich movie queen, can't resist.
However, she has been in the industry for more than ten years and is used to seeing the chaos in the industry. She also thinks she has seen through the nature of men and the illusory nature of love. Even though she is the queen of romantic movies, she still holds the idea of not getting married. She does not want to be tied to a male who cannot control his instincts and treats promises and responsibilities as a joke for the rest of his life, nor does she want to live a hypocritical marriage that is only in name only.
When the hormones of men and women are aroused, she does not reject it, but she will not sink into it either. Who doesn't have a heartbeat? But she is rational enough to appreciate men as cartoon characters, and only appreciate them. So at this moment, there is no abnormality on her face, and her heart quickly calms down.
Fang Yuan looked at the dark little head, a smile flashed in his eyes, "Well, I have something to ask him, but it's about you, let's listen together."
The brother and sister invited him to the main room, served him tea, and looked at him eagerly.
Fang Yuan first slowly drank half a cup of hot tea, and then handed a piece of paper with a red seal to An Zhiqiu with a gentle look. "Qian Yehai is very stubborn. Without sufficient evidence, the commune will not admit that the first aid manual was written by someone else. This is not a question of protecting one's shortcomings, but a challenge to face and dignity.
But fortunately, we encountered the time when the president was changing. Some people would not care about the overall interests of the commune and trample on their competitors. "
It turned out that there was a very famous newspaper in the neighboring provincial capital. One year ago, for some reason, one of the issues was not put into mass printing after being typeset. Fang Yuan took advantage of this incident and included An Zhixia's manuscript in it, and asked someone to make it look old and replaced the original version.
With such powerful expert advice, the first aid manual initiated by Qian Yehai became a hot potato.
When the commune's upright president was replaced, a lot of information and work had already been assigned to the vice presidents as one of the assessment items. Therefore, this issue of the magazine was discovered by a vice president Liu who was obsessed with officials. Combined with the rumors spread privately, he excitedly reported the matter to the town.
Vice President Qian wanted to take all the credit, but was afraid of change, so he had evil intentions. How could such a scumbag be worthy of being the president? Vice President Liu was very perceptive and corrected the mistakes. Although it damaged the image of the commune, it gave justice to Xiao An, the educated youth. This is the commune for the people.
His words were very beautiful, and he also passionately proposed that the "**" Xiaoan educated youth be allowed to enter the commune and continue to shine!
Could the leaders refuse? Of course not. Since their reputation had been ripped off by a scoundrel, they had to maintain their image and could only bite the bullet and agree to let Xiao An, a young educated youth, join the company as a small official.
Vice President Liu, who flatters the powerful and does not follow the rules, should stop here.
Two of the three vice presidents had fallen, so the vice president surnamed Yuan was naturally promoted. The first thing he did after taking office was to publicize Xiao An's story about the educated youth and issued this appointment notice.
"So, it's done, Xia Xia is the one who benefits from the conflict between the snipe and the clam?"
An Zhiqiu looked at it again and again in disbelief and asked. Is it so easy to hold a stable job? People in the city do all kinds of things that destroy their worldview for a job. How can they deal with it?
"Yes, Xiao An is a talented and knowledgeable person. It is unfair for him to be a small staff member of a commune."
"Haha, my sister is indeed a talented person. She will shine in her job and get promoted step by step!" An Zhiqiu was happier than praising himself. He smiled from ear to ear and kept muttering that he must post this notice on the wall of the main room so that people can see it as soon as they come in.
This old mother's mentality left An Zhixia speechless.
"Today is Friday. Xiao An, the educated youth, remember to report to the commune next Monday."
After talking about the matter, Fang Yuan stood up, looked at An Zhixia deeply, then turned and left.
An Zhiqiu walked around the room with the notice, and finally dismantled a brand new mirror, took out the beautiful retro female star, folded the notice in half to reveal the most important information, and carefully installed the transparent glass.
The mirror was placed upside down on the table in the main hall. This simple mounting method made use of local materials, which made An Zhixia confused for a long time. If she hadn't stopped him, she felt that her brother would have wanted to burn three sticks of incense a day to offer it.
As for that, a commune official, even if he was formal, only received 15 yuan a month and a few yuan worth of benefits. She, who made hundreds of millions a year and ran a supermarket, could not understand the mentality of an older brother.
An Zhiqiu took two days off, borrowed a bicycle from Nie Yichang, and took his sister to the town to buy clothes.
An Zhixia was amused and let him do whatever he wanted. However, she looked down on the ready-made clothes in town, so she bought some good fabric and prepared to go home and make them.
An Zhiqiu bought his sister a 26-inch Phoenix brand bicycle, a Plum watch, a pair of small double-breasted leather shoes, and an expensive Hero brand fountain pen. He also wanted to buy his sister a handbag, but was stopped by An Zhixia.
She didn't want to be stared at like a monkey with a briefcase under her arm, so she cut some leather, asked for some accessories, and went home to make it herself.
An Zhiqiu walked around the two floors of the supply and marketing cooperative several times before returning home with his girl, still feeling unsatisfied.
