Chapter 21: : Full of sincerity
Chapter 21: : Full of sincerity
Xia Xiaolan's mood is not good.
Liu Yong met a policeman in the police station and inquired about useful news. The three men who committed crimes must be severely sentenced. However, their family went to the police station this morning to make trouble, and they didn't know who was responsible for the bad move, saying that they would drag Xia Xiaolan into the water... The female gangster was also to be sentenced, and they insisted that Xia Xiaolan's style was chaotic.
Moreover, the confession asked by the police station, these three people were lured by words.
I dont know who is making rumors in private, but Xia Xiaolan, a prodigal girl in Dahe Village, was kicked out of her home. Xia Xiaolan reselled eggs in the county town. These three hooligans were originally from the city and the countryside. Hearing Xia Xiaolan's reputation is not counted. After seeing her in person, how can he stand it?
People are not only to have a good time, but also to make money.
Liu Yong wondered, "You didn't plan the Xia family's ancestral grave. Why do they hate you so much?"
Xia Xiaolan was suspicious, "Is it really the Xia family doing a ghost in the back?"
She felt that she might not be the daughter of the Xia family. Maybe she was the daughter of the Xia family's enemies. She was raised at home, so the Xia family tried their best to toss her, just because she couldn't understand her living a good life. Thinking of being nearly ruined yesterday and the broken eggs, Xia Xiaolan's anger almost couldn't be suppressed.
After all, it is a guest house. The nephew and uncle plan to go home and talk about it. They have to thank Zhou Cheng and Kang Wei for their life-saving grace.
Liu Yong found a state-owned hotel.
The waiter was lazy, as if someone owed her money.
Xia Xiaolan is accustomed to seeing future generations of service industry treating customers as gods. She does not understand the attitude of the waiters in state-owned stores at this time. What's more, they are the first batch of guests in the hotel today, and the waiters seem to really want to do it. Their business:
"Are there food stamps?"
Liu Yong shook his head, "Without food stamps, serve me two hard dishes."
Most people come to a state-owned restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles. If they have food tickets, they are much cheaper.
The waiter saw that Liu Yong was a muddy leg.
She snorted softly with her nostrils up to the sky, "If there is no food stamp, it will be expensive. What kind of hard food do you want to eat?"
Xia Xiaolan was impatient with the bird's air, if it weren't for Anqing County to find a high-end restaurant besides the state-run hotel, she really wanted to turn around and leave.
"Oh, look at what you said, what kind of food is there, when we don't have money to check out?"
Kang Wei's Beijing accent shook the waiter with long eyes and head.
These days, the people of Beijing are superior to many local people. After all, they are the capital, so bullish. Looking closer, among the four people in a group, only Liu Yong is black and thin, and the remaining three are more attractive and generous than the other.
The waiter is no longer arrogant, "I'll go to the back kitchen and ask."
After a while, he ran out: "Master Zhu said that there is a herring that has just been sent from Baixi Reservoir. It weighs 18 jin. Can you eat it?"
Liu Yong is a hillbilly, thinking about the deliciousness of fish, everyone is impatient to eat fish when he catches them in the country. Since you are going to be a treat, you must serve hard dishes such as big elbows.
But the waiter at the state-run hotel couldn't provoke him, so he nodded boredly:
"Just eat it and serve some other dishes."
"Uncle, 18 catties of herring is enough."
Zhou Cheng told Xia Xiaolan, "Herrings are too big or too small to be tasty, the ones below 10 catties are not fat enough, the ones over 20 catties are old, and the ones weighing 18 catties are just right."
This was not taught to Xia Xiaolan alone, it was clearly taught to Liu Yong.
But Zhou Cheng did not make people annoying, and Liu Yong had to admit that Zhou Cheng was likable. The secret path is so dangerous, almost showing timidity in front of these two capital queens. In 1983, although most people were short of oil and water in their stomachs, Zhou Cheng didnt seem to be a poor person. He really wanted to serve hard dishes such as elbows. He probably didnt have any particular reaction. Waiting for the 18-jin herring to be served, Xia Xiaolan You know where the cow is in the state-owned restaurant.
Boiled fish made of half-sliced fish.
The other half is fried into fish paste and made into fish ball soup. The fish head is steamed with chopped pepper, but the fish steak is deep-fried and eaten with sesame salt.
One fish was made into three dishes and one soup, and each plate was full of side dishes. Liu Yong ate the tender boiled fish without making a sound.
It turns out that it's not that the fish is not tasty, but the country folks don't have the skill, and they are reluctant to put oil like this.
Today's meal is definitely the most comfortable meal Xia Xiaolan has eaten in 1983.
However, the atmosphere during the meal was strange, mainly because of Kang Wei's attitude. Zhou Cheng gave a quiet warning and Kang Wei smiled and toasted. Xia Xiaolan knew it, and Kang Wei went to the police station together, mostly knowing that "Xia Xiaolan" was a person of unbearable reputation.
She didn't care about it, anyway, they were all meeting each other. They wanted to look down on her because of the rumors, and everyone would stop talking.
The two meals of life-saving grace can't be paid off, so she will naturally repay when she gets out of her head, and she will be paid. From then on, it will be irrelevant.
A pair of chopsticks sandwiched the tenderest fish belly and placed it in Xia Xiaolan's bowl.
Xia Xiaolan looked up and Zhou Cheng smiled at her.
He looks so good when he smiles.
Liu Yong looked at him and felt that the weasel was going to steal his little chicken cubs in person, and quickly interrupted the ambiguity of the undercurrent:
"Come here, have a drink, I will toast the two comrades, thank you again for saving Xiaolan."
Zhou Cheng picked up the cup, but Kang Wei did not dare not to.
Zhou Cheng said very seriously: "Xiaolan and I fell in love with each other as soon as we met, so please don't be polite. You can call me Zhou Chengxing. You can call me Chengzi. Xiaowei and I will offer you a drink."
Liu Yong couldn't be sloppy anymore, and he dared not drink while holding the wine.
"Zhou Cheng, pay attention to what you say, what is meant by meeting Xiaolan at first sight, is this kind of nonsense?"
Xia Xiaolan is beautiful, and it's normal to see her at a glance. However, I only said this in front of my elders just a day after I met him. People were too frivolous and didn't treat Xiaolan as a serious person. Liu Yong was very angry, thinking that he shouldn't take Kang Wei to the police station with him.
Zhou Cheng put down his wine glass and stood up:
"Dont worry, Im 20 years old, and I know what Im talking about. Xiaolans rumors, Kang Wei told me just now. An elder in my family said that you dont depend on what others say when you look at things. Feel and judge...what kind of person Xiaolan is, I have my own judgment. Taking a step back, even if I was deceived by the illusion that Xiaolan showed, it was my own willingness to jump into the pit, and I didnt blame it. Who. I said these have no other meaning, nor is it to threaten Entubao to let Xiaolan and me be friends. I just want to tell you that I sincerely want to be friends with Xiaolan."
Even if Xia Xiaolan really had some time with others, Zhou Cheng wouldn't mind.
Don't care who she liked in the past, she will only like him in the future!
