The entrance to the cafeteria suddenly became very lively.
Many people walked in together, and in the center was an old lady with gray hair.
"It's Sister You..."
Aunt Zhang said with a smile.
"Why are you here, Sister You?"
"Sister" is a specific title among high-level officials in the country. Comrades in the party generally address the wives of some highly respected female revolutionaries of the older generation or super important figures as eldest sister. For example, the wife of the first marshal, the founder of the People's Republic of China, etc.
The wife of the general manager and the wife of the supreme leader are all respectfully called "eldest sister".
Anyone who is not a hero who is highly respected by the public cannot be considered as such.
Gao Ya also had a look of surprise on her face. She really didn't expect that Sister You would suddenly visit the buffet restaurant of the Great Wall Hotel. This kind of Western food is logically preferred by young people and high-end intellectuals.
Sister You is surrounded by a large group of people, old and young. There are probably not more than seven or eight people. They are both men and women, old and young. They are probably all relatives and juniors of Sister You. And a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes is slightly
He was bending his waist and leading the way with a smile on his face. Judging from this posture, he should be the person in charge of the restaurant.
"Comrade Yanhong is here too..."
Aunt Zhang had sharp eyes and murmured again.
Supporting Sister You on one left and one on the right are two middle-aged ladies in their forties or fifties. Their clothes are not very bright, but they are clean and tidy, and their demeanor is clear. At a glance, you can tell that they are not ordinary people.
One of them may be "Comrade Xiong Yanhong" whom Aunt Zhang just talked about. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao Cao Cao is here.
Sister You, surrounded by her younger nephews, walked slowly towards this side and said with a smile: "This place is clean and bright, but there are too many things, which is a waste!"
The old lady just took a look over there and saw a long line of all kinds of self-service food, which was filled with various food cabinets. If there were not hundreds of varieties, the old lady thought it was too luxurious.
After all, the buffet is very different from the traditional banquet model in China. In the eyes of the old lady, it is just a novelty.
Xiong Yanhong smiled and said: "Auntie, this buffet is like this. It looks like there are a lot of things, but everyone gets what they need. You can take as much as you can eat, and don't take it if you can't. In comparison, it is more economical. If you open
It’s a big banquet, and whatever you can’t finish is wasted.”
Although the old lady was old, her brain was not confused. She pondered for a while and realized that this was indeed the truth. She nodded and said: "That's true. You can take as much as you can. It's a bit like communism..."
One sentence made everyone laugh.
What the older generation of revolutionaries have never forgotten is to establish a communist society where everyone gets what they need and everyone is equal. Fortunately, the old lady connected two unrelated things in the blink of an eye.
The middle-aged woman on the right pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Mom, in the past, we could eat as much as we could in the cafeteria."
This is naturally a joke.
The old lady opened her eyes and said, "That's different. Many people starved to death at that time. Later, thanks to..."
From the mouth of the old lady, a great name was uttered that was famous all over the world. It was this great man who, after going back to his hometown to investigate for forty days, returned to the capital, and under great pressure, resolutely disbanded the canteen, which allowed more people to
Many people have been liberated from hunger, and countless lives have been saved. This alone can be said to be a blessing to the common people and has immeasurable merit.
The middle-aged woman nodded with a smile and said, "Mom, just kidding. Nowadays, people's living standards have improved and they are getting richer."
"It's good to be rich... We worked hard for the revolution with our heads high, defeated the old Japan and old Chiang Kai-shek, and then we had a new country. Why? Just so that the broad masses have food to eat and clothing to wear.
, no longer suffering. Everyone is getting richer and their living standards have improved, which is a good thing, a great thing."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Hello, Sister You! Hello, Comrade Yanhong!"
As the group of people gradually approached, Aunt Zhang stepped forward quickly, bowed deeply to the old lady, and greeted her respectfully. She also used the same honorific title for "Comrade Yanhong".
"Hello……"
The old lady nodded slightly, with a confused look on her face, obviously not recognizing Aunt Zhang.
"Oh, it turns out to be Comrade Xiaoli, hello!"
Xiong Yanhong looked at Aunt Zhang for a few times before calling her name, smiling and extending her hand. Aunt Zhang immediately held it tightly, shaking it repeatedly, with an excited expression.
Gao Ya secretly shook her head.
It seems that just now Sister Zhang said she wanted Lu Yue to go to Xiong Yanhong's house to wish her a birthday. It seems that the two families are very familiar with each other. But looking at Xiong Yanhong's current words and deeds, it is obvious that she has not much impression of Aunt Zhang, and it takes a lot of thinking to remember her name.
.
Aunt Zhang should be very embarrassed to "reveal" her face to face, but at this time, how can she care about this?
"Xiaoyan, this is..."
The old lady turned around and asked.
"Auntie, this is Comrade Zhang Xiaoli from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and her lover is Comrade Lu Chengdong from the National Academy of Social Sciences. Comrade Xiaoli, Comrade Chengdong should still be in charge in the office of the Academy of Social Sciences, right?"
Xiong Yanhong gave the old lady a brief introduction.
"Yes, yes, Lao Lu is still in charge of the office of the Academy of Social Sciences. Comrade Yanhong has a really good memory and has a photographic memory..."
Zhang Xiaoli flattered Xiong Yanhong.
Xiong Yanhong smiled and nodded in reply, with a graceful and slightly reserved manner, and said: "Comrade Xiaoli, are you eating here too?"
"Yes, yes, let's get together with a few friends."
Xiong Yanhong rolled her eyes, then laughed, and said to Gao Ya: "Xiaoya, are you here too?"
She is about fifty years old, about ten years older than Gao Ya. Looking at this title, she and Gao Ya are quite familiar and close to each other. There is no need to ponder for a while to remember Gao Ya's name.
Gao Ya then stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yes, Sister Xiong, Sister Zhang and I will have a meal together... Hello, Auntie!"
With that said, Gao Ya bowed to the old lady to say hello.
Xiong Yanhong hurriedly introduced: "Auntie, this is Comrade Gao Ya, a researcher at the Academy of Social Sciences, the sister-in-law of Comrade Cao Junming of the Central Propaganda Department. Her lover, Comrade Cao Junchen, is in charge of the Development Planning Department of the State Planning Commission."
Sister You's eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "What a young researcher, Comrade Gaoya, are you over thirty years old?"
Although the old lady is old, she is sharp and energetic. Otherwise, she would not be "fooled" into trying this foreign thing called a buffet.
Gao Ya's pretty face turned red and she quickly replied: "Auntie, I am over forty and my child is in high school..."
"Ah? I really can't tell. This child looks so handsome."
Sister You laughed and was in a great mood.
Xiong Yanhong smiled and said, "Auntie, you were truly handsome when you were young. Back then, you and Uncle Bao were recognized as the most well-matched model couple."
Sister You laughed loudly: "This child has such a sweet mouth. Auntie is old now, but you still mention the old things from back then."
She said elegantly and sincerely: "Aunt, I have seen photos of you when you were young. They are so beautiful and beautiful."
"Hey, I'm getting old..."
Sister You waved her hands repeatedly and sighed. Her eyes swept over the people around her one by one. Suddenly, her snow-white eyebrows raised.
"Hongyu, are you there too?"
But it turned out that the old lady saw Fan Hongyu.
At this time, Comrade Fan Hongyu stood aside with his hands lowered, his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered. His appearance was as disciplined as possible. The elders were still talking and would not rush forward to steal the limelight.
Unexpectedly, the old lady had a good eye and "caught" him out.
Fan Hongyu immediately stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the old lady, and said loudly: "Hello, grandma!"
"Hey, good, good, good boy!"
Sister You was very happy, stretched out her wrinkled palm, took Fan Hongyu's hand, and patted it gently, with a kind expression on her face, as if she were treating her direct grandson.
This is undoubtedly Mr. Bao's wife.
Bao Xing and another young man in his twenties who were gathered around blinked at Fan Hongyu in a "cunning" manner, apparently very familiar with Fan Hongyu.
During this time, Bao Xing introduced almost all of his best buddies to Fan Hongyu. They all had a good time drinking together and had already become familiar with each other.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Xiaoli's expression changed drastically and she felt very embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Fan Hongyu had such great dignity that even the old lady called him a "good boy". What kind of dignity is this? It's a pity that I still regarded him as a country leopard.
On the other hand, Lu Yue always looked calm, with a gentle smile on his face from beginning to end, and there was no trace of what he was thinking in his mind.
This effort of nourishing Qi is remarkable.
I have been immersed in the capital's big institutions for many years, and it is definitely not in vain.
Another middle-aged lesbian next to the old lady, who was naturally Bao Xing's mother and the lover of Minister Bao Ping'an, asked with a smile: "Hongyu, are you eating here too?"
Fan Hongyu said quickly: "Yes, Auntie, we are having dinner with a few friends."
"Who is your friend? Please introduce him to him."
Mrs. Bao was in a good mood and said with a smile, she also had the intention of giving Fan Hongyu face in public. Since the Bao family planned to take care of Fan Hongyu, they naturally had to support him on various occasions.
In the land of the capital, news travels quickly. Fan Hongyu is highly regarded by the Bao family. It won't take long for this news to spread, which will undoubtedly be very beneficial to Fan Hongyu's future progress. At least ordinary people will not easily find Fan Hongyu.
trouble.
Otherwise, Baojia and Mr. Bao’s faces will not look good.
"Yes, aunt...grandma, aunt, Aunt Xiong, this is my colleague and my leader, Comrade Gao Jie, the mayor of Fenglin Town, Yanhua City."
Fan Hongyu then introduced Gao Jie to everyone.
This is the first time I have met Xiong Yanhong and Fan Hongyu, but looking at this posture, the relationship between the Li family and the Bao family is really extraordinary. Xiong Yanhong is like the biological daughter of Mrs. Bao, and maybe she has a certain relationship with her. Jingshi
There are many cases of marriage between wealthy families, and the relationship between relatives is very complicated.
It can also be seen from Zhang Xiaoli's cautious attitude towards Xiong Yanhong that Xiong Yanhong is by no means an ordinary person. It seems that Zhang Xiaoli also said just now that Xiong Yanhong works in the Central Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
That is the real central authority.
PS: I will write a more coherent and intense plot in two days. Then I will break it out and write a few more chapters. I am asking for some monthly support from everyone, haha.
