As they were talking, they arrived at the bicycle shed. He Yongjun and the other man put their belongings into the panniers, while Ye Zhiqiu put away the boxes of tools and seasonings.
He said to Ma Banghua seriously, "Brother Banghua, since that's the case, please tell Aunt Chen and Feng Xiaomei for me. I personally want to establish a revolutionary friendship with Comrade Feng Xiaomei!"
Ma Banghua and the other man patted Ye Zhiqiu on the shoulders and said happily, "Okay! We'll definitely pass it on! It's you who said this about establishing revolutionary friendship. That's really a good thing!"
"Yes, I think that's a very good point too! So, brother, what should we married people say?"
"In my personal opinion, making friends is definitely about establishing revolutionary friendship, dating is about deepening revolutionary friendship, and getting married is naturally about sublimating revolutionary friendship!"
It has to be said that people of this era would call the relationship between friends revolutionary friendship.
This kind of use of the emotions between men and women to illustrate revolutionary friendship was indeed the first time they had heard of it. So they were very happy and thought Ye Zhiqiu's words were particularly good!
Getting married is the sublimation of revolutionary friendship. This statement sounds better than what others say about getting married, and it is more meaningful.
Ye Zhiqiu got on his bicycle and waved goodbye to the two of them. He rode his bicycle to the gate of the compound, smiled and joked a few times, took out a cigarette, and smoked a few cigarettes before leaving.
It was already half past one. When Ye Zhiqiu was halfway there, he took advantage of the fact that no one was around and put the cigarettes and alcohol into the space.
After putting out the things he had prepared in advance, he rode his bike to Caishikou. Gongzhufen was closer to Caishikou, while Qianmen Street was closer to Balizhuang.
Since you have to run to both sides, you should naturally deliver the things to the near ones first and then to the far ones, and then go home after you finish delivering the things.
Forty minutes later, Ye Zhiqiu arrived at Chengxin Restaurant, carrying the prepared items. He greeted Ma Wenguang at the counter and walked into the kitchen.
Now that there are no guests, Li Bicheng and his son are sitting with their legs crossed, reading newspapers!
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and shouted, "Master, I can't attend the dinner tonight, so I brought you the gift first! Big brother, I brought two packs of cigarettes, one for you and one for Master!"
Hearing the sound, the father and son put down the newspaper. Li Bicheng said with a smile, "You little brat, just come if you want to. Why are you so loud that it scared me?"
Hearing that he had a cigarette, Li Weimin smiled from ear to ear. He quickly praised him, "Good brother! It's worth it that your elder brother worked so hard to teach you how to cut vegetables. You even remembered not to give the two cigarettes to my father!"
"That's right. Even if I gave it all to Master, wouldn't you secretly take it and smoke it, big brother?"
"You really can't be praised enough, you're tearing things down so quickly!"
After joking for a while, Ye Zhiqiu told her about helping with the wedding banquet on the second day of National Day.
After taking out the menu and handing it to the two of them for review, both of them were very happy.
However, since it was Ye Zhiqiu's first time helping with this kind of work, he really didn't know the master's fee, so he quickly asked, "Master, I don't know the price, so I didn't negotiate a high price. Please tell me a little bit, and I'll help you negotiate the fee when the time comes."
Li Bicheng laughed and said, "What a coincidence! Master doesn't know what the appropriate fee is! Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I, your master, have never done this kind of work before!"
After I finished my apprenticeship, I saved enough money to open the Chengxin Restaurant. I've never hosted any wedding or funeral banquets like this before! Since they're your two good friends, the cost isn't important. Just let them decide when the time comes!"
This was something Ye Zhiqiu hadn't expected, so he said cheerfully, "Well, since this is the first time for both us, master and disciple, to take on this kind of job, we have to give a big red envelope!"
Li Bicheng asked, "My little disciple, you said you're not going to your master's house for dinner tonight? Are you going to stay home?"
Ye Zhiqiu quickly gave a brief account of the Qian family, Wang Fugui, and Old Lady Liu.
Hearing that there were two elders, Li Bicheng expressed his understanding. If it were just family members, he would definitely ask Ye Zhiqiu to accompany Chen Renfu to celebrate the festival.
"Master, don't worry. I've prepared everything for Master Uncle and Master. After I send Master Uncle off, I'll go directly to Master's house to deliver it!"
"Okay, it's getting late, you should hurry up and deliver the food, or you won't have enough time to make dinner at home."
"Then I'll be leaving first. By the way, Master, I have to help with the ingredients for the next few days, so I won't be here to study for the time being."
"Business is more important, let's finish it first!"
Ye Zhiqiu left Chengxin Restaurant and rode for another ten minutes before arriving at Baiweiju on Qianmen Street.
Carrying the things he had put out halfway, Ye Zhiqiu walked into the back kitchen and saw Huang Dahe massaging Wang Lei's waist.
Ye Zhiqiu quickly asked, "Master, Senior Brother, Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Disciple is here, it's okay! I just twisted my waist a little bit accidentally, it's not a big deal, let your senior brother press it, I'm much better now."
Ye Zhiqiu repeated what he had said to Li Bicheng, took out the menu, and after giving instructions, he left.
This time, I rode directly to Chen's house in Balizhuang.
It was only later that Ye Zhiqiu found out that the Chen family's yard actually belonged to Chen Renfu, and it was not the house allocated by Chen Yimin at all.
The house assigned to Chen Yimin was in the dormitory building not far from the brewery. However, his family liked to grow vegetables and flowers, and the rooms in the building were small, and there was no open space for growing vegetables, so they didn't live here.
However, in winter they will move back to the building because the dormitory has heating, which is more comfortable than living in the yard!
Speaking of Ye Zhiqiu and his family’s yard, it’s not very comfortable in winter. They rely on a coal stove for heating!
If he could live in a building with collective heating, that would naturally be a better choice! Unfortunately, Ye Zhiqiu did not meet the requirements and could not be allocated a house.
Generally speaking, housing is a necessary benefit for factories, and as long as the factory does not go bankrupt, it will be distributed to you gradually.
However, it requires a certain number of years of work experience, and one has to wait in line. Even Chen Yimin, the uncle, cannot give Ye Zhiqiu a house just like that.
Unless he made some significant contribution that convinced the people in the factory, or he became a cadre! Then it is possible that he can be allocated a staff building without waiting in line or waiting for a certain number of years.
It took Ye Zhiqiu forty minutes to ride a distance of more than six kilometers. This time, the things he put in the pannier were more than those of his two masters!
First of all, Chen Renfu and Chen Yimin, one is the master and the other is the leader and uncle, Ye Zhiqiu needs to arrange two things!
Secondly, both masters would be coming to dinner tonight with their wives, children, and apprentices. Since Ye Zhiqiu couldn't go, he brought some extra ingredients to contribute to the reunion dinner.
