Ye Zhiqiu shrugged. He didn't expect that his cheap mother would get into work mode so quickly. She was even considering giving her a lecture like a leader.
I really want to say something like "a villain has achieved success", but this is the mother who raised me, I really can't open my mouth! And Ye Zhiqiu also knows very well that this cheap old woman is just talking nonsense!
If they really held a meeting, he was a little worried that she would do something like dragging a group of aunties and grandmas to talk about the gossip of the Sanlitun streets...
Ye Zhiqiu let Wang Xiaolan nag there and waited until his hair was no longer wet before returning to his room, setting the alarm clock and going to sleep.
In fact, it was really late. It was already half past ten before he went to bed, so when he was woken up by the alarm clock, his head was still a little groggy.
Although Wang Xiaolan chatters a lot, the person she cares about the most is still her! So when Ye Zhiqiu got up, she was already out.
And it wasn't just her, Wang Fugui got up too! Seeing Ye Zhiqiu opening the door, he happily explained, "Grandson, grandpa was afraid that you would sleep too late and not be able to get up, so he was going to wake you up!
After all, they are the only two friends you brought home. I am afraid that you will delay such an important event in your life, otherwise you will be unworthy of their trust.
Grandpa has had this kind of regret before, and it’s a pain that can make you regret for a lifetime. I don’t want you to go through the same thing…”
Ye Zhiqiu quickly cheered up and said, "Oh, how is this possible? I'm a punctual person. Grandpa, don't think too much, old man. Go back and catch up on your sleep if you need to!
If you don't want to sleep, go wash up and help your daughter light the fire and make breakfast. I have to wash up and go out. By the way, everyone in the family is at work today, so you can see how my mother cooks.
Don’t let them come back late from digging wild vegetables, we don’t know when we can have lunch. It’s okay for us adults to be hungry, but don’t let little Bailu starve!”
"Okay, Grandpa is old, he won't have any random thoughts. You've really filtered it out. I won't say any more. I'll go help your mother light the fire..."
It’s not that Ye Zhiqiu despises him, but older people like Wang Fugui tend to recall the pain of their youth.
In fact, the thing that can easily knock a person down is not the hardships of life! Because when facing hardships, there will always be all kinds of courage to overcome these hardships.
The scariest thing is memories! Because all the pain comes flooding back with memories, it's the thing that can break down a person's defenses. You can defend against the pain that comes again and again, but you can't defend against all the sadness that floods into your heart!
So Ye Zhiqiu interrupted and changed the subject to prevent Wang Fugui from having any more wild thoughts.
The pain that people of their generation have experienced is simply incalculable! So it’s better not to give him the opportunity to let his imagination run wild. This will be better for everyone.
After washing up, Ye Zhiqiu put the basin of water back in the kitchen and said to the two people who were making breakfast, "Grandpa, Mom, I'm going to go get some things now. I don't know what time I'll be back today. If I'm not home by six in the evening, remember not to cook dinner for me."
Wang Xiaolan nodded and reminded him, "Son, please be careful and pay attention to the road when riding your bike."
Wang Fugui warned Ye Zhiqiu, "Grandson, be careful with your words. You should think before you speak on festive occasions. Jokes you make on ordinary days are not appropriate on a day like today.
Also, you said you would help entertain the guests. No matter who comes, if they don't know the specific address, just smile and nod and address them as elders.
Given your age and seniority, calling someone "elder" won't hurt you. Finally, be careful when toasting. Don't just toast the most senior or most senior person at the table. Toasting everyone is a sign of good manners, but only toasting the powerful is flattery!
"Okay, I'll remember that. Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I won't say any more to you guys in a hurry..."
Ye Zhiqiu was not impatient with the caring words. He listened carefully before replying with a smile. He went back to his room, packed his things, and changed into new leather shoes.
Shoes don’t matter, but clothes and pants will always be contaminated with various odors because of helping with work, so you have to take time to change into them after you finish helping with the work.
To put it nicely today, he was a best man, although the jobs of best men in later generations were not so extensive. To put it bluntly, he was actually a doorman, helping to bring guests in, serving tea and chatting with them.
But what can he do? Ye Zhiqiu can indeed refuse, but as Feng Xiaomei's cousin, she must go and help with the work!
So Ye Zhiqiu had no reason to refuse, and he had to take the initiative to arrange Feng Xiaomei to be by his side.
Because visitors don't know whether she has been hurt or not, they will only think that she doesn't say a word. If you know her situation, you must take the initiative to protect her!
I carried the bag of clothes and the Mauser pistol on my body. I didn't bring my shoulder bag today, as I didn't have anything to borrow to get anything from it.
After tying the bag with the rope, Ye Zhiqiu went into the yard, hung it on the handlebars, and pushed the bicycle out.
It takes more than an hour to ride from Sanlitun to Gongzhufen. After riding for more than ten minutes, Ye Zhiqiu put all the things he had prepared into the bicycle pannier.
The main reason was that he was about to join the other two masters on the same road, and he was worried about running into them, so he needed to get the food out as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain where all the vegetables and meat were going to be brought from!
Although we didn’t meet each other along the way, it’s always better to be careful!
Ye Zhiqiu stopped his bicycle. It was almost seven o'clock, and only people were going out to buy groceries. There were relatively few people going to work.
When Zhou Liang saw Ye Zhiqiu, he smiled and joked, "Xiao Ye, you're here early!"
Ye Zhiqiu pushed his bicycle aside, parked it, and then distributed cigarettes to the others. After lighting a cigarette, he said with a smile, "Brother Zhou, if you had a master coming over, you could become as diligent as me!"
Zhou Liang rolled his eyes and said, "That won't do. I'm so free and easy now, why should I find a master to control me?"
Huang Shiquan joked, "Hey, Xiaoye, you brought a lot of things today! Next time Xiaozhou gets married, can you help me get the ingredients?"
Ye Zhiqiu patted his chest and said, "Brothers, if you need to get some ingredients, as long as they are common, I can help you out! Of course, if you need something scarce, don't come to me!
Like that pork elbow, there are only four of them on a pig, there's no way I could get one! You said you could get some chicken, duck, or fish. Even if I can't get the fat ones, I can at least get some lean ones!"
They chatted and laughed. Huang Shiquan was the older one, with children around eight or nine. There was another guy named Li Ningan, who was also married with children. Zhou Liang was the only one in his twenties who hadn't married yet.
He said indignantly, "Just wait, Old Huang. Are you making fun of me now? When I get married, I'm going to force you to give me a big red envelope!"
"Hey, we've been waiting. We've been preparing the red envelopes for a long time. All we need is for you to treat us to the wedding banquet!"
