During this period, although the interruption of contact with the organization once made her panic, but over time, it also opened a door called "freedom" in her heart, and experienced the joy of being free from pressure and tasks. This does not mean that work It was very relaxing. In fact, the work was very tiring. Feng Nuo treated her as a male worker. It was a change of mood: she began to have the opportunity to think about what she would do after get off work tomorrow, what new products the cooperative would release next month, and next year. After the new graduates arrive at their posts, can they please ask Chief Feng to officially transfer them from Tiandihui... Also, what should I buy after my salary is paid?
"Well, just buy a pair of shoes for that fool Qian Yuzhi, and treat him to a meal in Dongmen City. This can be regarded as a little compensation for the careless expenses I have spent on him during this period, and I also want to thank him for introducing me here."
Qian Yuzhi didn't quite understand why the two of them suddenly went to Dongmen City to eat together today, even though whenever Li Janai came to work, they would usually eat together and then go home together.
According to Qian Yuzhi's life experience in the "old society", if a young woman is willing to do this, she basically intends to marry him. However, in the "new society", this just means that the other party has a good impression of you.
If you want to get married, there is no way - let alone "senator disciples" like Li Ganai who are from liberal arts schools, just ordinary young people who graduate from junior high school and work as workers or clerks in farms, factories or institutions.
Women are not within the reach of apprentices like Qian Yuzhi who have just entered the factory. At least they have to wait until they reach a certain level and their salary reaches a certain level before they will be included in the other party's consideration.
However, going to Dongmen City for dinner this time was a bit grand. He secretly tried to figure out what the other party was thinking, and who was the "cleaner" for this meal - his salary was a bit low, and Li Janai paid the rent.
Don't dare to spend it casually. In the future, it will cost money for the girl to get married and to find a wife.
However, facing the girl's invitation with shining eyes, he couldn't help but agree. Although he had become accustomed to Li Janai's command these days, he still vaguely felt that this was different, and his heartbeat could not help but accelerate.
Li Janai seemed to be in a good mood. She had heard from her classmates in the College of Arts and Sciences that there was a shop specializing in drinking in Dongmen City. She had always been very curious about it, and she happened to go there with Qian Yuzhi today.
The store is small and dimly lit. There is a long counter, where the shopkeeper pours wine and cooks. The outer edge of the counter is a long table top with several round stools. Against the wall is a small table with a high backrest.
, a bit like the seats on a small train - Li Janai said these are called "card seats". When it is full, it can only seat about twenty people.
This is a mom-and-pop shop, and the woman who sells wine is the landlady, who is said to be a waiter at the Nanhai Cafe. The man worked at the Dongmen Restaurant. Both the couple were influenced by "Australian-style catering", and they both quit their jobs after they got married.
, opened this small street shop that sells both food and wine.
Although the shop is small, the decoration equipment is completely "Australian". Everything is fresh, but it is good-looking and easy to use, and the layout is very comfortable. When the lights are turned on at night, the light of the gas lamp inside shines through the bamboo curtains.
When we come out, we don’t talk about eating or drinking. Just sitting down makes us feel comfortable.
It sells "Australian-style" wine and food, which are not too expensive. The customers are mainly naturalized citizens who work in the companies and institutions of the Senate. Especially young people who are not tired from home, come here to have a meal on the way from work.
A fixed meal and a glass of kvass or a drink become a rare moment of relaxation after a tiring day.
It was not too late at this time, and the store was very deserted. The two of them found a round table in the corner and sat down, ordering two set meals and two bottles of kvass. They were used to eating together in the cafeteria.
At this time, while eating, they casually chatted about work and life. Qian Yuzhi felt that it was really good to chat in the environment here. It was estimated that 99% of it was the Australian tone spread by the chiefs.
The portion of the set meal is large, but it is not worth mentioning to people like them who work all day long. Qian Yuzhi ordered the large fried fish patty set meal. Two large golden fried fish patties were cut into shreds.
On the shredded cabbage - this vegetable did not exist in Hainan in the past. It was brought by the chiefs. It was first grown in the Nanhai Demonstration Farm. Everyone called it "Chinese cabbage", but the Australians called it cabbage.
The fish fillet is covered with a thick layer of sauce, which has a pungent spicy smell and stimulates people's appetite. It is served with a large bowl of white rice and oyster mushroom vegetable soup.
Li Janai is from a liberal arts college. Although the workload is not small, he knows the importance of "healthy eating" and "maintaining body shape", so he eats something lighter: stir-fried seafood and shrimp rice with vegetables and rice, served with seafood clear soup.
These dishes were all brought by the Australians. If the chiefs had not come to Lingao and conquered this small piece of the world here, then Qian Yuzhi would never have eaten such delicious fish steaks in the Ming Dynasty - let alone
If he wants to enjoy delicious food, it would have been a great pleasure for him to have a meal of refined food a few years ago.
This was all fate. Qian Yuzhi was in a daze, and everything around him seemed extremely strange, as if it was a dream.
"What's wrong with you? Are you in a daze?"
Li Janai interrupted his trance.
"It's nothing, I think it's really good here." He said, smearing the shredded cabbage, wiping off the sauce and fish cake crumbs stuck to the plate, and ate it with rice.
"You have a really good appetite." Li Janai said with an admiring look, "This is an Australian-style restaurant - I chose a good place..."
Suddenly she saw a figure flash at the door, seemed to glance inside, and then left quickly.
Due to her professional nature, she immediately realized that the figure just now was someone she was familiar with.
Who is it?
"Not bad, not bad." Qian Yuzhi didn't know what she found and nodded. Although he admitted that this place was "not bad", he couldn't understand why the girl suddenly invited him here for dinner.
Could it be that she was really interested in him? Qian Yuzhi started to think wildly.
"Of course the place I chose will not be bad, it will open your eyes..." Li Janai said casually, she already knew it in her heart: it was Feng Shan who flashed past just now.
She has also come to Dongmen City? Li Janai is a little surprised. Because Feng Shan's life is basically a two-point one-line system, and she is called a life secretary, but she rarely does the work of a life secretary. She is more like Chief Feng
s student.
But her curiosity ended there. After all, Dongmen City was not a secret place. Her attention returned to Qian Yuzhi.
Kvass was slightly alcoholic, and as soon as one bottle was consumed, the two of them naturally started talking more. From the initial politeness, they gradually started talking about their respective life experiences, and before they knew it, they started drinking the second and third bottles.
Qian Yuzhi rambled on about what happened when he was a child, about the encouragement from the chief who came home to express condolences after his father sacrificed his life, and boasted a little proudly about how beautiful his sister was and how good her grades were...
Speaking of his sister, he was silent for a while, and then went on to say that he must take the A-level diploma and then pass the technician exam, but he was too stupid and made his master angry. Fortunately, he could serve the chief now... and why he didn't live in a dormitory.
, how much money can you save every month by living at home, how much can you earn by renting a house, how much money can you spend every month... If you want to marry a wife, you have to prepare a large amount of gift money, and your sister will also have to spend money to do things when she gets married; in the future, she will have children.
I still have to go to Greenfield National School - if I can't get into the selection group and won't get a scholarship, I'll have to raise tuition fees to go to higher school...
Li Janai glanced at her unconsciously when she saw him saying "get a wife", and felt it was funny. However, these "idiots talking about dreams" drunken babble were full of longing and hope, which made her a little touched.
.
She recalled what she said to the training leaders when she attended the training class of the Political Security Bureau: "You will be lonely, and you will make sacrifices, but your task is extraordinary. It is to protect the safety and property of the Senate and the people, and to protect the safety and property of the Senate and the people."
The future and hopes of the Senate and the people.”
This somewhat clumsy big boy turned out to be the object of his protection.
Li Janai suddenly felt very funny, but his eyes were sore.
This feeling was so strange, she thought, it must be because Kvass had drunk too much.
The two stayed late at the small shop, drank a table full of empty kvass bottles, and finally forgot about buying shoes for Qian Yuzhi.
Qian Yuzhi had a very strange dream that night. He dreamed that he ate a lot of snacks called "little cakes" sold in that shop. They were soft, fragrant, and sweet, with a little bit of cake on them.
The cherries were also sour and sweet. He ate one after another, as if he could never have enough... Suddenly, a large amount of kvass seemed to leak from the ceiling and poured on his head.
He woke up and saw Li Janai standing in front of the bed holding a cup with a frosty face, and his face was full of water.
"Hurry up and go to work! Look what time it is!" After saying this, she turned and walked out of the room.
Qian Yuzhi scratched his head and sat up. His head still hurt. He seemed to have dreamed of something delicious just now, but the wonderful taste he had experienced repeatedly in the dream quickly faded as his mind became clearer. The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it.
It gets blurry and blurry until I can't remember it anymore.
The following days were the same. Qian Yuzhi was still doing various chores, sometimes as a transporter, sometimes as a laborer, sometimes as a mechanic, and sometimes as a painter. Slowly, he also developed his skills. Jia Ben
Seeing that he was doing a good job, he nodded by chance. Feng Nuo frequently held meetings and discussions with senior officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Electric Power Department and the Machinery Department, and compiled some materials in his free time; Feng Shan was busy with her study and work.
After getting up, he could only come to help at night; Li Janai still spent two or three days a week doing Tiandihui work, and came to work the rest of the time.
