Chapter 894
"Okay, then let's wait a little longer." Zhang Yongqiang nodded.
He said to the waiter, "Let's have a pot of tea first, the menu is on, and we have to wait for two more people."
The tea came up soon.
Zhang Yongqiang personally picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Lu Hao, and then poured tea for Su Xingmin, Wang Guizhi, Su Jin, and Su Yumei.
He also poured Su Min a cup of boiled water very considerately, "If you are pregnant, don't drink tea, drink some boiled water."
He looked at him again, "Ni Ni, are you drinking soda?"
Very considerate.
It seems like two people like the past.
After drinking two sips of tea, Su Jiangang and Li Xuan also arrived.
"Why did we come here so late? We have been waiting for a while." Su Yumei complained.
"There are too many people in the billiards room and I can't leave. Why do I have to invite everyone to dinner? The business is very busy. I don't want to come, so I have to call me to come together." Su Jiangang said.
He pulled down the chair and asked Li Xuan to sit down, and then he sat next to Li Xuan himself.
Although the two have not held a wedding, whether it is Su Xingmin, Wang Guizhi, Lu Hao and Su Min, they have regarded them as husband and wife, and Li Xuan as their daughter-in-law who has entered the house.
He even takes it more seriously than his daughter-in-law who comes in.
This is very different from decades later. Now when you have a boyfriend and girlfriend, you treat it as your marriage partner. Whether it is the man or the woman, including the parties involved, they also think so. However, after decades, when you have a boyfriend and girlfriend, most of the time, you hide it from it and do not tell them to both parents.
Some experienced parents even ask their children not to bring their partners home before they are sure to get married, and they will not get married after they are brought back. After a while, what's the matter?
"Why didn't you order food? Don't wait for us. You can eat it first after ordering the food. It's the same for us to come over and eat it." Seeing that the dishes on the table were not yet on hand, Su Jiangang said.
"I had ordered the dishes, but your second brother-in-law said that you would wait for you to come over to see what you two want to eat, especially Xiaoxuan, to see what dishes she wants to eat, and after ordering, let someone go." Zhang Yongqiang said, "Your second brother-in-law is really good to you."
He handed the menu to the two of them, "Look at what dishes you want to eat, don't be polite, just order it. I'll invite your sister and I to this meal today."
"Xiaoxuan, don't be polite, they are all family."
If it were the past, he would definitely not say Lu Hao's good, but now he intends to tell Su Jiangang and Li Xuan about Lu Hao's good.
Su Jin spent a lot of time in school and didn't know the changes. He was surprised to hear Zhang Yongqiang say this.
Zhang Yongqiang and Su Yumei looked at each other again and again, then approached Lu Hao and whispered, "Brother-in-law, something is wrong with my eldest sister and my eldest brother-in-law today. Is this a Hongmen banquet? You have to be careful."
She pressed against Lu Hao, afraid that Lu Hao would suffer a loss.
"You don't have to worry about this. You'll eat more food later. The food at school is not that good." Lu Hao said.
I didn't care about my aunt in vain.
The food was on the table soon.
Zhang Yongqiang picked up the cup, "I will use tea instead of wine to toast you all. Today's meal is very happy. Actually, I have wanted to invite everyone to have a meal together, so I am so happy."
"First of all, the beverage factory where my father worked for half his life has not gone bankrupt. He survived and lived very well. He was even expected to step on the second beverage factory under his feet. Although he changed from a public unit to a private unit, except for this, the rest has not changed much, and it is even getting better and better. For example, those who work in it are all acquaintances, and their wages, bonuses and other benefits are getting better and better."
He was looking for a way to flatter Lu Hao again.
"Yes, I really didn't expect it." Su Xingmin was very moved, nodded, and took a sip of tea.
He was deeply touched by what Zhang Yongqiang said.
When he is old, he is almost at the age of retirement, but the factory cannot continue to operate and faces the risk of bankruptcy. If he changes to another unit, others will not want it. Even if he takes it ten thousand steps, he will find it difficult for him to adapt to the new environment by himself. It is far less than now. There are still a bunch of old friends around him, and old acquaintances should be comfortable.
Moreover, if you retire early and get laid off, you will also be uncomfortable. You are used to going around the factory every day and chatting. When you are idle, you will feel uncomfortable all over.
This situation is the best.
The factory has not closed down and there is still work in hand.
"Dad is so comfortable now, thanks to Lu Hao. This cup of tea is both a congratulation and a thank you. Congratulations to dad for being the same as before, and having a stronger voice in the beverage factory and having more things to do." Zhang Yongqiang said, "As for thanking, it is thanks to Lu Hao for bringing vitality to the beverage factory and allowing dad to have such a good old age."
He raised the teacup in his hand to Lu Hao and drank the tea water in his cup in one gulp.
"This is right. The factory used to withdraw your dad from the factory and not let him take care of the facts, so he just stayed idle. He came back every day and sighed, as if someone owed him much money. I said it was better to be idle, but he was busy all day long, so how could he suffer? If others didn't go to work, you would go to work. If others got off work, you didn't come back and didn't eat properly. How could the stomach bear it? When you are old, you thought you could compete with the young? Tell him these things and comfort him, but he was not happy to listen." Wang Guizhi said, "I was frowning all day long."
"Dad has been working in the beverage factory for half his life. He has nothing to do when he is free, so he will definitely not get used to it." Zhang Yongqiang said.
"That's right, you are a woman, how can you understand those? You know how to rest. After working in the factory for so many years, the beverage factory has long been like your own son. Seeing that the business of the beverage factory is getting worse day by day, how can you feel at ease?" Su Xingmin said, "The more idle you are, the more panicked you are."
"If you want to be busy, you have to let others keep you busy? If the beverage factory is about to collapse, how can you change it?" Wang Guizhi didn't give him any face. "It's not that my second son-in-law has the ability, so you have the money to keep it. He has a job and can tell people that they are willing to listen to you."
The old couple will not let them go even if they fight.
"Dad has rich management experience and knows the factory very well, so he helped me." Lu Hao said, "If I had no father's support, I would have to run to the beverage factory every day and would not be able to free up my hands to do other things."
Wang Guizhi and Su Xingmin are husband and wife. They have lived for decades and are noisy and it doesn't matter if they say a few words. But as a son-in-law, he must have to lift his father-in-law's face at this time. Otherwise, there will be so many people, the father-in-law may not be able to hold back.
