Chapter 60 Drinking and talking
Looking at the depressed Zhu Xuesong, Zhu Xuefeng once again took out the same box as before and handed it to Zhu Xuesong.
“This is for you. I originally wanted to give it to you on your birthday, but you are about to take an exam and it just comes in handy, so I’ll give it to you first. Don’t ask for it from your big brother for your birthday.”< br>
Zhu Xuesong took it in surprise. He liked the two black ones better, the red one and the green one. Hum, only little girls would like it.
......
The meal was quite a lively one. After all, with Shazhu’s craftsmanship and rare ingredients, the dish was really better than the ones in the restaurant.
He Yuyu has eaten a lot in canteens in the past few years, and rarely eats such delicious food. I don’t know if it’s because he is embarrassed, or because he is reserved, but not as open-minded as the two little guys.
There was a table full of delicious food, and I ate more than half of it. Even the steamed buns that Zhu Xuefeng bought specially were not eaten.
The appetite of the three siblings has dropped significantly. Zhu Xuefeng knew that this was because they had some fat in their stomachs.
Silly Zhu drank a little too much and started talking more. He talked about the past when the brother and sister depended on each other, and also talked about his worries about He Yuyu's graduation and job search soon.
"Brother, you don't know. Without the help of the old lady, the uncle's family and many people, I don't know if we, brother and sister, would have grown up..."
Zhu Xuefeng understood Silly Zhu. The special feelings towards the old lady, the uncle, and the aunt were equivalent to becoming parents again. At that time, Silly Zhu didn't work, and his family was even worse off than he is now. He only had a house and a little money left by Lao He.
Both families had no adults, but they all felt sorry for each other, which made the younger siblings and He Yuyu burst into tears, and they secretly wiped them away from time to time.
He Yuyu must have thought of his brother's difficulties. His eyes became very gentle, and he refilled everyone's water from time to time. They were all recalling the bitterness and sweetness. The atmosphere was very harmonious, and they naturally became close. Quite a few.
Zhu Xuemei didn't know when she sat next to He Yueyue. The two held hands alternately and leaned on He Yueyue's shoulder.
When it comes to work, He Yuyu is a little silent. Zhu Xuefeng's words last time made her think about it for a long time and a lot.
"Sister Yuyu, what do you think? Do you want to work or go to college?"
He Yuyu looked at his brother and hesitated for a long time.
"I kind of want to go to college, but I'm afraid of burdening my brother. It will take several years of study."
Silly Zhu raised his head and looked at He Yuyu with red eyes.
"Sister, you want to go to college? That's a good thing! This college student will earn much more than me as soon as he graduates. Isn't it just a few years? I can afford it, I can definitely afford it."
"Cooperative I have kept all the lists for you to go to school."
Zhu Xuefeng looked at Silly Zhu and then at He Yuyu.
“Actually, you don’t have to worry about money. Sister Yuyu’s subsidy should be enough. Besides, Brother Zhuzhu, didn’t you tell me that art is not a burden? You have a good craftsmanship, but you are still worried about lack of money! "
"Good brother, tell me, how can I make money?"
Si Zhu grabbed Zhu Xuefeng's hand, a little anxious.
"Of course it depends on your cooking skills. You bring a few people to cook a family banquet for others. Who doesn't set up a few tables for weddings and funerals? Just rely on your skills to cook in this place. Reputation, I’m so busy!”
“Besides, you can sell some cooked food at the market. Look at the popular delicatessen on the street. Is it selling well? Don’t do it too much at one time. Just make more.”
“It’s definitely good to make pre-made dishes.”
“I’ve never heard of pre-made dishes.”
Zhu Xuefeng was also quick to talk, so he had to explain that it would be a few years later in the capital before pre-prepared dishes began to enter people's homes. There would be no problem. They were pre-prepared dishes from public-private restaurants.
Cook less and put it in the canteen to benefit the employees. You don’t have to clean it up when you go home. It can be served after it is heated. It is only two to five cents cheaper than buying food by yourself.
Si Zhu patted his thigh.
"Yes, why didn't I think of that? Otherwise, you are smarter in school. Sister, you have to continue reading this book."
"We won't go to the market. There are too many people and it’s hard to get rid of this problem. You have to discuss the pre-made dishes with the leader. Don’t make mistakes. It’s no problem to make a wedding banquet. You can also lead an apprentice, but I haven’t had the chance to teach.”
Silly Zhu made a decision in an instant and was quite strong in action.
“Here, pour it, let us brothers have another drink.”
The two drank another drink, Sha Zhu opened his red eyes and looked at his sister.
"Sister, we all have to thank Zhu Xuefeng for pointing out a clear path. You can also pour it and have another glass. This good thing will come in pairs."
He Yuyu's face has already changed. She was slightly red, but her tears were gone, but her eyes were still watery, completely different from usual. He Yuyu looked at his glass. He didn't know when it became empty. He couldn't go back to school tonight anyway. He also wanted to drink more for some reason, so he poured it again.
......
"Brother Zhuzi, do you think it's time for you to talk about a wife? You are not young at all. If you had a wife for this matter, you would probably have done it a long time ago. I’ve thought about it for you, so you don’t have to worry.”
“With my conditions, no one can take me seriously!”
Silly Zhu seems to have hit a wall and obviously lacks confidence. He seems to have no luck with women, which is indeed not as good as his arch-rival Xu Damao.
"No one likes your conditions, what do you say, otherwise I will do the math for you."
Zhu Xuefeng gave Silly Zhu a roll of his eyes and continued.
“Not to mention that you are a formal employee of the steel rolling mill, your salary is 37.5 yuan a month, which is higher than the income of many people.”
“There is no old age to support here, only the following is A younger sister. Sister Yuyu will be able to take care of herself after she goes to college.”
“You have a good craft and can make extra money.”
"Your family is not short of housing, and you are in good health. There is nothing wrong with you, and you are not missing an arm or a leg."
"You can't find such a house in any house, so you won't go either." Give it a try and go find a matchmaker tomorrow. If everything goes well, you can get married before the year and have a son next year.” Zhu Xuefeng arranged it in an understatement. Why didn't you deal with Zhu Xuefeng earlier? This guy is really a smart man!
Zhu Xuefeng ignored Sha Zhu's grinning mouth and stared at him with a pair of small eyes, and turned to He Yuyu.
"Sister Yuyu, as for the summer vacation you mentioned last time, there is no change in your schedule about tutoring my sister during the summer vacation, right?
"No, no, I have nothing to do during the summer vacation anyway. , there’s nowhere to go, so it’s nice to spend time with Xuemei. "
After He Yuyu finished speaking, he looked back at Zhu Xuemei and rubbed the top of Zhu Xuemei's head with his cheek. Now he really likes this little girl. If only he was really his sister.
"Brother, why do you still have something to do with me? "
Zhu Xuemei opened her eyes and asked doubtfully.
"Make up a lesson, what lesson? I’ve already graduated and I’m still taking extra classes! ”
Zhu Xuemei's little face was also flushed, probably due to the lively atmosphere.
Nowadays, there is basically no concept of making up lessons. Teachers will only take the initiative to give make-up lessons to students who cannot keep up.
Zhu Xuemei was not happy now, and stood up all of a sudden. Her elder brother used the sea to lure her. The sea was not there yet, so she had to study the junior high school textbook.
Zhu Xuefeng waved his hand and motioned for Zhu Xuemei to sit down.
"Not long ago, I came to see your sister Yu Yu, and I wanted her to help you make up extra lessons and learn the knowledge of junior high school in advance."
Zhu Xuemei stared at her eyes, very unconvinced.
"Why didn't you tell me this?"
"It's not too late to tell you now, don't think too much, don't affect the entrance exam."
Zhu Xuefeng is a little uncomfortable. Patiently, he waved his hand.
“I’ll give you extra lessons after sister Yuyu finishes the college entrance examination.”
"Fortunately, I'm not there!"
Zhu Xuesong looked at his sister and gloated.
“I can’t run away from you, and you don’t have to make up classes, but you have to do a good job in logistics support. I have to go to work after the college entrance examination!”
Seeing Zhu Xuesong’s frustrated look, Zhu Xuemei immediately burst into tears. Laugh, it's not about poverty but injustice. The second brother also has to suffer a little with him, so that he can be happy.
"Come and let's toast the future teacher Xiao He."
