Chapter 1733 The Wind Rises
Chu Heng came over and played with Xu Jingshu for a while. Qiu Rong, the guest house manager, Bian Fei, the restaurant manager, and Hu Junhua, the bathhouse manager, also came together.
Coupled with Xu Damao's words, the managers of the guest house are gathered here.
"Chu Suo, when did you come?"
After the three of them came in, they were invited into the back room by Xu Damao. Seeing Chu Heng already sitting in the room, Qiu Rong hurriedly turned around He walked forward with his fat body, took out the cigarette and handed it over.
"I just arrived not long ago." Chu Heng took the cigarette but didn't smoke it. He put it behind his ears, then frowned and said to Qiu Rong and the others who had already started lighting the cigarette: "Go, go, go, I went outside and didn't see anything else inside the house. Do you have children? Don’t choke her again!”
“Oh, forget about this, let’s go out and smoke.”
A few people quickly turned their heads. Go out and smoke in the outhouse.
Yu Haitang, who was mending clothes next to him, raised his head and glanced at Chu Heng, with a nice curve in the corner of his mouth: "You really feel sorry for Xu Jingshu."
"That's right. I…… " Chu Heng, who almost spilled the beans, hurriedly swallowed his words. He looked down at the girl sitting on his lap, grabbing a grape and stuffing it into her mouth. He patted her head lovingly: "Are the grapes delicious? ?”
"Good Qi!"
Xu Jingshu raised her dirty face with an innocent smile.
"The godfather will get you some more when he comes back next time." Chu Heng didn't dislike it at all and couldn't help but lean in and kiss her pretty face.
After a while, Qiu Rong and others came in from the outer room after finishing their cigarettes. They teased the children and chatted for a while, and Xu Damao's meal was ready.
Then Chu Heng handed Xu Jingshu to Yu Haitang, who had already eaten in advance, and went to the outhouse to drink with Qiu Rong and other gentlemen.
Xu Damao prepared a lot of delicious food today, including chicken, fish, meat and eggs, but the most commendable one was undoubtedly a civet civet casserole.
The civet meat is deboned and sliced, added with old soup, and then put into a casserole with winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, ham and other ingredients and simmered over low heat. Sprinkle some chives after the flavour. The taste is simply delicious!
“The civet civet is pretty good.”
“It’s delicious, it’s delicious! Damao’s craftsmanship is second to none.”
“Don’t just eat, drink.
A few people exchanged cups of delicious food for a while, and a slightly tipsy Hu Junhua started chatting and said mysteriously: "Hey, do you all know the recent news that the particularly powerful one is going to provide jobs for unemployed young people? I now have accurate information. The higher-ups are not planning to arrange any jobs at all, but are planning to send all these educated young people to the countryside to support construction!”
"Really or not?"
"Who did you listen to?"
Qiu Rong and others hurriedly put down their chopsticks and looked at Hu Junhua. Either directly or indirectly, there are several unemployed young people, and they are not spared. They either have children at home or relatives, so they are very concerned about this news.
“A relative of mine has a neighbor who works in Haili. He said that he was ready to submit the documents, and I guess that’s all.” Hu Junhua said.
"Oh, if that's the case, you'll be in trouble! In rural areas, where people don't have good food and housing, how can they be treated?" Qiu Rong was a little worried. He had two nephews who were currently at home looking for work.
"No, I visited my hometown in the countryside two years ago. Tsk, the conditions are so miserable. I can't even have enough to eat several times a year."
"It's not only hard, but also tiring. , digging for food in the fields every day can be tiring to death!"
"Hey, I have a sister at home, I don't know if she will go."
Bian Feiji. People also sighed.
Chu Heng ate the food in silence, not daring to ask or say anything.
If you don’t want to go to the mountains and countryside, it’s actually very simple. You can find a way to get a job, or you can be sent to serve as a soldier. It just so happens that he is in that position...
So how can he dare to say anything at this time?
I don’t think I have enough troubles on my hands!
Fortunately, Qiu Rong and the others didn't delve too deeply into this topic. After all, the news was just hearsay from Hu Junhua, and we didn't know whether it was true or not, so they quickly turned the page and continued to chat.
This went on until more than six o'clock, and everyone at the table was drunk except Chu Heng.
“Tsk, why are you guys still toasting me when I can’t drink!” Chu Heng looked at these useless little trash lying either on the table or under the table, and sighed helplessly. Take a breath.
Immediately he called Yu Haitang over and helped Xu Damao to the bed to rest. Then he went to the courtyard to call Sha Zhu, Liu Guangtian, and Yan Jiefang to help carry Qiu Rong and others out to see him off. Go in the car.
Then Chu Heng drove everyone home one by one. It was already half past seven before he returned to Banchang Hutong.
At this time, the two younger ones had gone to bed, and Ni Yinghong and the others were gathering in the main room to watch TV.
After Chu Heng returned to the hospital, he first went to the study room and took a look at the three puppies that had just been born. Then he fed Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai some beef jerky before going to the main room.
"Come back."
Ni Yinghong looked back when she heard the noise, then turned her head and continued watching TV, saying: "Guo Kai called me when you were not here, asking you to come back. Contact him quickly.”
“Got it.”
Chu Heng used his heels to guess that it was about the dinner party, so he turned around and walked out of the main room, ran to the phone booth on the street and called Guo Kai.
The result was just as he guessed. It was indeed about the dinner party. Manager Guo Kai and the others wanted to meet with Yaoba Wan tomorrow night.
After hanging up the phone with Guo Kai, Chu Heng picked up the phone again and dialed his father-in-law. When the call was connected, he told the person there to find Ni Chen, and then hung up again. , waited five minutes before calling again, and then he finally got through to Ni Chen.
"Hey, is it Hengzi?"
"It's me, brother, are you okay tomorrow night? A comrade of mine..." Chu Heng told him the matter simply and clearly .
"What kind of meal are we going to have for this little thing? If you ask him to come to me directly later, it's over. I've already made an appointment tomorrow." The main thing is to stand up for my comrades."
"Okay, I'll turn down the dinner tomorrow."
Ni Chen agreed without any hesitation. After coming down, the two said a few more words and then hung up the phone.
“Here, man, I’ll give you some money.”
Chu Heng took out the money and gave it to Old Man Wen who was guarding the stall, then threw another cigarette away before turning around and leaving.
The next day.
Chu Heng, who had paid for half the night's public food, got up very late. He had nothing to do during the day. After eating and coaxing the children for a while, he strolled out of the house and prepared to go for a walk at Shichahai. .
As soon as he came out of the house, he heard several neighborhood aunts gathering together to talk about going to the mountains and countryside. When he came out of the alley and walked on the street, he could hear pedestrians from time to time. Talking about this.
As if overnight, this matter had spread. Many people began to ask around, and some even started to make preparations.
