Chapter 66 Visiting relatives and friends, dividends
Zhang Xia and Zhang Wenjie are a couple, and Li Wen can never give it away. However, the nature of giving it away and not giving it away immediately, and both sides are respected.
The development of Li Wen's connections started with the Zhang Xia sisters. Zhang Xia also helped Li Wen a lot, so Li Wen didn't care about five kilograms of braised pork.
"Go and go to the backyard to have a look."
When Zhang Xia heard Li Wen say this, she immediately stood up. Although Li Wen is young, she knows that this little guy is very capable.
"I'll call Uncle Wu!" Li Wen said as he walked towards the kitchen.
After a while, the three of them arrived at the reception room in the backyard.
"Uncle Wu, Aunt Zhang, this is a New Year's greeting to you and the two of you." As he said that, Li Wen took out the braised pork wrapped in advance from his backpack and put it on the table and pushed it to the two of you.
"Yo! It's actually braised pork." Old Wu opened the paper bag and said in surprise.
"You kid has this skill?" Old Wu, as a chef, must also know braised pork. He also knows some braised pork, but the taste is average.
Old Wu said as he tore off a piece of pork liver and tasted it. This pork liver is the most skillful, and it will cause pain if it is not done well.
"Well, it's pretty good. It's so delicious. You guys can do it!" Old Wu looked at Li Wen and smiled in shock.
"I'll try it too!" Zhang Xia said that she also tore a piece of pork head meat from her paper bag.
"Well! It's not oily or greasy, the braised ones are soft and rotten, but they are very chewy in their mouths and delicious." Zhang Xia nodded and smiled happily.
Li Wen looked at Zhang Xia with satisfaction and a smile on his face. He knew that this was a sign of his love for food.
"You kid can't hide it. Why don't you recommend you to a state-owned hotel or guesthouse in the county? You kid can definitely gain a foothold with this skill in braised pork." Old Wu suggested to Li Wen with a smile.
"Uncle, I don't dare to go to the county's state-owned hotel and unit canteen. The boy can't stand it because there are too many rules."
"Besides, I am still young and not as old as a worker. Moreover, I am very active and work in the same place and can't stay!" Li Wen said to Lao Wu with a smile.
"You kid, like a monkey, are so slippery. I really don't know where to take care of you in the future." Seeing Li Wen's rejection of Lao Wu, he didn't force it, shook his head and said.
"Why did you make so much for your uncle? Your Aunt Zhang is very jealous of you."
Only then did Old Wu notice that the portions of the braised pork between the two men were twice as different! He frowned and said, looking at Li Wen.
Zhang Xia didn't say anything, with a smile on her face and looked at Li Wen quietly.
"Uncle, you can't say this! You both take good care of me and are as heavy as I think." Li Wen hurriedly stood up and explained.
"You have half of Brother Wu Guang's share. The county government has many people and eyes, so I have to bring his share and let you take it back together." Li Wen explained.
"Hey! You kid, we are a family. We give it to me and Brother Guang, and we will have two more shares." Lao Wu's face then smiled again.
"This is different. You helped me a lot, and Brother Wu Guang also helped me a lot. We all talked about our own things. Li Wen sat down again and said with a smile.
"Also, today I also sent a copy to Uncle Zhang when I went to the county town. So don't be polite. This is not for you, but for you to bring it to Brother Guang." Li Wen said as he went down to the dowry.
"Okay, I'll accept it with confidence. Otherwise, I'll feel uneasy if you accept your flesh!" Old Wu said jokingly.
"I knew that Xiaowen was thoughtful and rigorous!"
At this time, Zhang Xia, who was sitting aside and listening to the two of them quietly, praised Li Wen.
"Yes, you are more scheming than many adults."
"If Brother Guang had half of your alertness, he wouldn't have been in trouble for five or six years, and he is still a driver." Old Wu sighed.
"Uncle Wu, don't say that. Although I, Angkor, are just a driver, I am the county magistrate's driver. Whoever in the county won't give me any face?"
"If Angkor was transferred to the unit as a small leader, who would recognize him then? Moreover, the unit's work is not so easy to get through. You also know that there are so many things."
"At present, Angkor is still young, so you can practice for a few more years and expand your connections. When there is a good opportunity, Angkor will definitely rise to the top." Li Wen analyzed Wu Guang's situation to Old Wu.
After Li Wen finished speaking, Zhang Xia clapped her hands!
"Xiaowen said it very well. He was well versed in the officialdom routine at a young age and grasped the context of work in the unit. What he said was really to the point!" Zhang Xia praised Li Wen's words.
After listening to Li Wen's analysis, Lao Wu thought carefully and nodded to admit that what Li Wen did make sense.
The few people had sex for a while, and Li Wen thought it was getting late and he asked to say goodbye.
"Don't rush to leave! It's snowing recently, and there are still a lot of buns left in the morning. Uncle will pack some for you." Old Wu called Li Wen when he came to the front door canteen.
Zhang Xia also grabbed Li Wen and refused to let him go.
After a while, Lao Wu walked out with a paper bag and stuffed it into Li Wen's backpack.
"That's what you're going to spend money on Uncle Wu." Li Wen scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
Li Wen knew that Lao Wu must have paid for these buns in the end. As a restaurant chef, Lao Wu usually gets some leftovers and the like.
As a staff member of a state-owned hotel, he could not fill his pockets in full view of the public.
"Okay, I'm still polite to my uncle. Get out of here quickly. I'm still waiting to go back and cook the fire." Old Wu cursed at Li Wen with a smile.
Only then did Li Wen smiled and waved his hand to Lao Wu and Aunt Zhang to say goodbye.
Li Wen came to the place he agreed with his father and others and saw that Li Deyou and others had not arrived yet.
He walked towards his second aunt's house with a basket on his back.
Pushing open the door of the second aunt's house, Li Wen shouted a few times.
"Xiaowen, you are here!" The second cousin Zhou Weiguo walked out of the room.
"Brother!" Li Wen greeted with a smile.
"Are my dad and second uncle still at your house?" Li Wen asked with a smile.
"Here! My uncle and my second uncle are having a meal. You are here just right, let's go and have something together." Zhou Weiguo pulled Li Wen and hurried to the room.
"Second aunt, uncle!" Li Wen walked into the room and looked at a table on the floor of the room, and everyone was having a meal. He hurriedly greeted the master's house.
"Awen is here! I just talked about you with your dad. Come on, hurry up and sit down."
"Weiguo brings your brother a pair of chopsticks." When the second uncle Zhou Quan saw Li Wen walk in, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
Originally, Li Wen didn't have to get up as an elder, as his second uncle Zhou Quan came. However, Li Wen got a job for his second child, which was a great kindness.
Last time my second aunt and second uncle made a special trip to thank him, but Li Wen was not there. So today I saw Li Wen, Zhou Quan was very polite.
Looking at Zhou Weiguo who turned around to the kitchen to get chopsticks, Li Wen hurriedly persuaded him: "Brother, you don't have to get chopsticks for me anymore. Today I ate very full at my friend's house."
"Brother-in-law, don't worry about him, sit down." Li Deyou, who was sitting next to him, spoke.
Li Wen had dinner at a friend's house today, so he forgot to ask his father how many people he had.
My father and his wife should have visited the people who gave their work indicators to their elder brother and second brother at noon. After working for a long time, they didn't eat much at their aunt's house. Li Wen guessed.
Seeing that my father and others came, the second aunt also fried a few dishes, and one dish obviously had meat. The staple food was also noodles with white noodles, which was very good.
"Awen comes, sit next to me, I will get you some noodles," said the second aunt Li Xiufang, looking at Li Wen and smiling.
"Second aunt, I'm really full, so I won't eat noodles anymore. I'll just pick up a few bites of dishes." Looking at the chopsticks handed over by my second cousin Zhou Weiguo, Li Wen couldn't refuse and said.
Li Wen ate a few bites of food and put down his chopsticks. Seeing that the youngest guys from Ergu’s house were secretly looking inside at the door, his little cousin Zhou Xiaomo was swallowing from time to time.
People in rural hospitality will take out good food that they usually don’t want to eat. They are well-professionate.
When eating at the same time, if the guests are adults or men, they will drive out the children at home and let them eat in the kitchen or other places. Sometimes women will not serve the table. (Of course this is a bad habit now that has been corrected in many places.)
Li Wen stood up and took out a few buns from the basket leaning against the wall.
The bun was a little warm, and Li Wen smiled and handed it to his two cousins and his little cousin Zhou Xiaomo.
"Come on, why are you lying at the door? Eat buns! I just got it from a state-owned hotel." Li Wen said with a smile.
"Thank you, cousin!" The two cousins were a little older, and shyly took the bun and turned around and ran away. Only the little guy, Zhou Xiaomo, was thick-skinned and shouted loudly to thank Li Wen.
"You boy!" Li Wen smiled and touched the little guy's head.
"The buns that Awen made?" Li Deyou asked as he looked at Li Wen taking out a few buns and handed them to his nephews.
"I just went to the state-owned hotel. They had some buns left in the morning and they had not sold out. Uncle Wu gave me a few." Li Wen replied with a smile.
"Awen is capable and has a friendship with Chef Wu, a state-owned hotel at a young age." My uncle Zhou Quan praised.
After dinner, my father and second uncle also discussed the work of their second cousin Zhou Weiguo. Li Wen and his friends said goodbye and went home.
Because the town is not far from home, with troughs and roads are familiar, it is already dark when my parents return to the village.
When he got home, Li Wen saw his mother standing at the door and looking at the way home.
"Mom, what are you doing here in the house?" Li Wen asked.
"It's not that your master is dark and hasn't come back yet. It's snowing again this day, I'm not at ease." Wang Chunmei said with a smile as she looked at the couple home safely.
"Go home quickly! It's too cold."
Li Deyou looked at the snowflakes falling on his wife and patted her.
Because Li Wen and his friends ate at the second aunt's house, they didn't eat at night. Li Wen took out the remaining buns and let his mother warm up, and everyone ate them.
Early the next morning, Li Wen was chatting with Zhou Gong in a warm bed, and the door of the room was knocked.
"Everyone is up, it's almost nine o'clock! The village just informed me that I'm going to pay dividends today. Awu, you guys get up quickly." The voice of his mother Wang Chunmei rang outside.
When Li Wen and his friends heard that the village had paid dividends today, they quickly got up from the bed.
This is a major event every year! Moreover, there have been major changes in the village this year, and Li Wen and others don’t want to miss it.
