Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
When Chen Yuanwu was busy in the kitchen, Gao Shengmei came and was as rude as ever: "Hey, five dollars, you can cook now? Is there a portion for me? If you don't prepare my portion, I'll eat yours!"
Chen Yuanwu's name sounds like "five yuan" when reversed. His childhood playmates nicknamed him "five yuan".
Ye Qingyin hated to hear this nickname the most: "What the hell? What the hell? This isn't like buying and selling children in the old society, how can it be only five yuan! Xiao Wu, don't answer when someone calls you like this in the future, do you hear me?"
Adults have their own ideas, and children have their own world. Behind the adults' backs, they still have to shout and agree as usual.
Chen Yuanwu couldn't help laughing when he heard Gao Shengmei's greeting. This girl still had such a playful personality: "I made a big bowl of noodles. Let's see how much you can eat. It's all you can eat!"
Gao Shengmei sat down at the table like a king of the hill, slamming the table fiercely and saying, "Give me five dollars!"
In this era, a bowl of vegetarian noodles in a noodle shop only costs ten cents, and with five dollars, you can buy fifty big bowls.
Ye Qingyin walked down the stairs slowly, holding the handrail: "Xiao Wu, are there any guests coming to the house?"
Gao Shengmei stuck out her tongue at Chen Yuanwu, put on a smile, stood up, and respectfully greeted Ye Qingyin: "Aunt Ye, hello, I'm Xiaomei, do you recognize me?"
Ye Qingyin came down just after hearing the five yuan note: "It's Xiaomei! You've grown up into a big girl, and you're getting more and more beautiful! Are your parents okay?"
Gao Shengmei smiled and replied, "My parents are both doing well. My mom asked about you just yesterday! She's busy with work and couldn't leave, so I came here alone with my dad. My dad and Uncle Chen were busy, so I came to see you on his behalf."
As Chen Yuanwu rolled out the noodles, he smiled and said, "You're here to eat with us on behalf of your dad, right?"
Gao Shengmei was not annoyed and continued to smile: "Aunt Ye, my mother also asked me to learn embroidery from you."
Chen Yuanwu handed over a chopstick: "Are you learning embroidery? Here, take this needle!"
Gao Shengmei smiled and raised her orchid finger: "Auntie Ye, look, does the way I hold the needle look like a real one?"
Ye Qingyin was also amused. Who did this heartless child resemble? "Okay, I'll ask Xiao Wu to draw a trick for you later. While I'm here for the next two days, come and learn from me. Xiao Mei, what are you doing now? Are you here to play with your dad, or are you going to live here from now on?"
"Aunt Ye, I work at a film studio. This time, our studio is going to shoot a documentary about the entire army. I'm the director's assistant. I came to visit my dad during my break."
"Hey, Xiaomei, have you become a big star?"
"No, no, I don't act. I just follow the director and direct the big stars during filming."
Gao Shengmei behaved very well in front of Ye Qingyin. She spoke softly and respectfully from beginning to end, and she was almost giving Ye Qingyin a shoulder massage.
Ye Qingyin finally felt relieved: "Xiaomei, your factory has so many big stars, Wang Xingang, Wang Xiaotang, I really like watching their performances!"
Gao Shengmei smiled and said, "Aunt Ye, Wu... uh, it's a pity that Yuanwu didn't become an actor, otherwise he would definitely be a big star!"
Chen Yuanwu listened to them talking, his hands kept working, skillfully rolling and cutting the noodles, and just waiting for the water to boil before putting them in the pot.
He took the time to interject, not forgetting to peel green onions: "We'll have cold noodles soon. The garlic eggplant is almost pickled, and the smashed cucumber is almost seasoned. Then we'll make some fried tomatoes and eggs, and we'll be ready!"
Gao Shengmei was almost drooling with greed, but she had to resist the urge to steal some food with her fingers in front of Ye Qingyin, so she had to change the subject: "Yuanwu, I heard you're a staff officer? A staff officer in the kitchen, right? You're so good at cooking, just smelling it makes me salivate!"
Chen Yuanwu smiled and said, "Don't just stand there and smell it. Come over and show us your cooking skills."
Gao Shengmei finally revealed her true colors and waved her hands in the air: "Don't ask for money, I only know how to eat, I can't cook."
Ye Qingyin was surprised: "Xiaomei, you can't cook, what are you and your partner going to eat? You can't eat in the cafeteria every day, right?"
Gao Shengmei chuckled: "Aunt Ye, I don't have a partner yet. I'm alone. We travel a lot when we're filming, and the crew takes care of the meals. I don't have to worry about anything. I just eat with them when the meal is ready."
Ye Qingyin was shocked when she heard this: "How old are you? You're the same age as our Xiao Wu, right? Why haven't you found a partner yet? Is it because you see all those celebrities and artists all the time that your standards have become higher and you don't want to just find someone casually anymore?"
Gao Shengmei waved her hands vigorously. "I'm not looking for those celebrities. Their lives are too hard. In order to get to know life, they have to endure all kinds of hardships and suffer all kinds of suffering. Sometimes they go to other places to film and often don't come home for a year or two. My mother told me to find someone who can stay at home every day."
Ye Qingyin agreed: "Your mother is right! When it comes to finding a partner, one of the couple must stay at home. Otherwise, if you come home and I'm away, and I come home and you're not, we won't see each other more than twice a year. Who will take care of the children? Who will take care of the elderly?"
Gao Shengmei agreed repeatedly: "That's right, my mother said so too, that's why she said I must never marry a soldier like her!"
Chen Yuanwu scoffed, "Some soldiers have civilian jobs and don't leave the house! Your mother is afraid that the office-bound soldiers can't beat you, and the soldiers with guns will have to fight you all day at home, right?"
Gao Shengmei slammed the table and was about to speak in a high voice when she suddenly remembered that Ye Qingyin was still there. She turned her head and acted coquettishly towards Ye Qingyin: "Auntie Ye, you see, Yuanwu is bullying people! Where is the girl he found from? She will definitely bully her to death!"
Chen Yuanwu shuddered deliberately: "Can you please speak more kindly? Look, I spilled all the noodles!"
Ye Qingyin glanced at Chen Yuanwu and said, "Our Xiaowu hasn't found a partner yet. Does your factory have anyone suitable? Please introduce one to our Xiaowu!"
Gao Shengmei nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! This time we came with an extremely beautiful actress. Oh, standing next to Yuanwu, they are really a perfect match! It's a perfect match!"
The standards that film studios use to select actors are just like the standards that film academies use to select students today. It’s not enough to just be good-looking, they also have to be versatile.
Ye Qingyin was naturally happy to let Chen Yuanwu find someone with better conditions in all aspects, and she didn't even notice the two young people winking at each other: "Xiao Wu, will you give Xiaomei a ride later?"
Chen Yuanwu readily agreed: "Okay!"
