Today's meal is to see off Su Taohua's family and the three brothers Su Shouwen.
Qi Liangying, Liang Xiu and Su Manxiu have been busy since the morning and have made great preparations.
There are four meat dishes alone, all served in large porcelain basins.
Su Shouwen's people didn't wait for others to greet them. After they started eating, they all took the initiative and their mouths were full of oil. How happy they were!
Seeing the little ones eating like wolves and tigers one by one, Wang Xianghua began to worry that with such an appetite, she would be hungry when she arrived in the capital.
She expressed her doubts.
Grandma Su smiled and said: "I have given meat stamps and food stamps to the three of them respectively. They have money themselves, so don't worry."
"The food in the school is very good, and there are subsidies and tickets every month, so they won't go hungry." Shen Zizhen assured.
Wang Xianghua still believed in Shen Zizhen's assurance. Teacher Shen was not an ordinary person, he was a teacher in the university.
Su Xiaomei is a girl, so she is more delicate after all. Although she doesn't chew her food carefully when eating, she is much more elegant than Su Shouwen.
Shen Zizhen thinks this girl is pretty good.
It just so happened that my daughter was also admitted to the Agricultural University.
When the time comes, he will take it with him personally and teach his daughter everything he has learned throughout his life!
Su Xiaomei didn't see Shen Zizhen's pride and satisfaction. She was still thinking about giving the money in her hand to her mother.
In this way, when I arrived in the capital, my mother had money in her hands, so she could straighten her back.
On the other side, Chen Zian was talking to Grandpa Su.
Chen Zian said that he received a call from the old leader this morning and heard that they were sending the children of the Su family to the provincial capital, so he invited Grandpa Su and Grandma Su to the provincial capital.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su were both stunned when they heard Chen Zian's words.
Although they had been kind to Dong Yuanzhong, and Dong Yuanzhong also remembered this kindness, but speaking of it, it was just a small effort back then.
I sent them a lot of things back then, and that was enough.
Several years passed by, and there was no news from Dong Yuanzhong. They just assumed that the parcel was already in love.
I didn't expect Dong Yuanzhong to still remember them.
They even felt that the old leader probably thought of them for a moment and then completely forgot about them after repaying the favor.
But now, how can we not be surprised when we suddenly hear this news again?
"Really?" Grandpa Su asked, twirling his beard.
"Dad, it's true!" Chen Zian smiled.
I have never seen the old man look so unsure of himself.
"You agreed?" Grandpa Su asked again.
Dong Yuanzhong is no longer the little kid who couldn't afford to eat.
He is now the top leader in the province. In the past, he would have been called a feudal official.
People with weak legs like them cannot reach such high places!
Chen Zian said: "I said I would like to ask you and your mother."
After saying this, seeing the old man's hesitation, Chen Zian hurriedly continued.
"In fact, the old leader has been thinking about you these past few years, but things are not going well for him. There were a few times when he almost couldn't resist, so he didn't come to see you."
That is to say, recently, the situation has improved a bit, and the old leader has taken a look at his benefactor.
But everything can be improved. As the top leader of the province, he is very busy.
This time, Chen Zian took the initiative to call and said that his family would send several children to the provincial capital to take a train.
Sure enough, the old leader immediately invited the two elders to go with him, saying that he was going to the provincial capital to relax.
"Dad, since it's the invitation from the old leader, you'd better go and have a look." Su Laosan advised.
Grandpa Su also wanted to meet his old friends, so he agreed.
Grandma Su didn't want to go, but Su Xiaotian said she wanted to visit the provincial capital.
For the sake of her little granddaughter, Grandma Su also agreed.
Also, the little girl has never been to the provincial capital, so she is definitely curious.
Grandma Su had completely forgotten at this time that she had never been to the provincial capital.
It’s the Red Heart Brigade. Anyone who has been to the provincial capital can count it on one hand.
Now that you have decided to go, you can't delay, simply pack up and set off immediately.
"Although the car ride is fast, it is uncomfortable and tight!" Grandma Su was still mumbling when she got in the car.
"The road to the provincial capital is easier than the road back to the Red Heart Brigade. Mom, you will be there after a sleep." Su Laosan comforted.
Damn, this is motion sickness, but don’t be alarmed, the roads to the provincial capital are easy to walk.
The other members of the Su family sent people to the provincial capital to get on the bus.
Except for a few people who were going to the capital by train, the only ones going to see the old chief were Grandpa Su, Grandma Su and Su Xiaotian.
Chen Zian brought several children, Su Manxiu and Chen Xiuyuan.
As for the other children, Grandma Su gave them to Wang Xianghua to take care of first.
Wang Xianghua has been tied to the chicken farm in the past few years. Grandma Su said that since she is here, she should just wander around the county town and don't always think about going back to feed the chickens.
Before Grandma Su left, she gave her some bills and asked her to buy something for herself.
Wang Xianghua didn't want it at first, but her mother-in-law insisted and finally accepted it.
Qi Liangying and Liang Xiu both had no objections to this point, and even said that they would accompany Wang Xianghua and buy Wang Xianghua a new set of clothes.
Not talking about the three sisters-in-law going shopping here, but just talking about the people who go to the provincial capital.
The group of people hurried and hurried slowly, and when they arrived at the provincial capital, it was already past six o'clock.
Chen Zian was quite familiar with the provincial capital, and he quickly found a clean guest house to settle down with his friends.
It was just getting dark at this time, but the provincial capital was quite lively.
Shen Zizhen said that she would take her wife and children for a walk outside and eat at a restaurant in the provincial capital.
The Su family did not go with Su Taohua and the others, but followed Chen Zian to the compound.
As the top leader of the province, Dong Yuanzhong lives where ordinary people cannot enter.
Every time Chen Zian arrived in the provincial capital, he would come here to visit the old chief, and he had a pass in his hand.
After registering at the gate, it was easy to enter the compound.
Dong Yuanzhong lives in a small western-style building near the back of the compound.
There are not many such small foreign-style buildings even in the compound.
Everyone in the Su family has never seen such a small foreign-style building. Su Shouwen, the most stable one, couldn't help but sigh a few words.
Because of this, everyone in the Su family became more and more uneasy. Even the heartless Su Ciliang felt like his calves were shaking.
Chen Zian led the uneasy Su family until they walked to the small foreign-style building where Dong Yuanzhong lived, and then stopped.
"Dad, Mom, this is it."
"Zian, is it appropriate for so many of us to come to your door like this?" Grandpa Su felt uneasy, so he pulled Chen Zian to ask more questions.
Chen Zian smiled and said: "Dad, don't worry, the old leader is someone who misses his old relationship."
"I know he misses the old relationship, but after all, his status is different now!" Grandpa Su said with a sigh.
In Grandpa Su's opinion, only two families of equal status can intersect.
But the old Su family and Dong Yuanzhong are already from two different worlds.
Chen Zian knew that his father-in-law was scared, but he had already reached the door, so it was not a problem if he didn't go in.
He didn't give him a chance to be afraid and went directly to knock on the door.
"Zian, why did you knock on the door? Wait, wait..."
Just as Grandpa Su spoke, the door opened.
The person who opened the door was a young man, wearing a set of crisp police blue clothes. He looked like an unusual person.
"Minister Chen, are you here?"
The young man was very energetic, but when he greeted Chen Zian, he was very respectful.
"Xiao Ma, is the old chief at home?" Chen Zian asked.
The young man called Xiaoma by Chen Zian nodded.
"The leader said you might come tonight, and asked me to wait at the door. I waited for a long time, and as soon as I got to the house, you arrived!"
Chen Zian stepped aside and asked Grandpa Su, Grandma Su and others to go in first.
Dong Yuanzhong and his wife were talking in the living room when they heard Chen Zian's voice and got up from the sofa in the living room.
When he saw Grandpa Su who came in first, he was excited and hurried over to greet him.
"I see you again, Brother Su!"
Dong Yuanzhong held Grandpa Su's hand with great enthusiasm, his tone was very familiar.
It's not like we haven't seen each other for decades, but like relatives we haven't seen for a few months.
On the contrary, Grandpa Su was very embarrassed. When Dong Yuanzhong took his hand, he neither pulled it back nor shook it back. He stood there awkwardly.
At this time, a woman in her forties came over and said with a smile: "Old Dong, look at you. Let the guests come in first."
"Shufang, this is what I often tell you, Brother Su and Sister-in-law of the Su family who saved my life back then." Dong Yuanzhong said to the woman very excitedly.
"Brother Su, Sister Su, hello. I am Fan Shufang, and I am Lao Dong's wife."
Fan Shufang is a very mature, steady and generous woman. She immediately introduced herself and held Grandma Su's hand affectionately.
Grandma Su became more and more embarrassed looking at Fan Shufang's graceful appearance, and she even regretted why she came here.
This is the home of a high-ranking official in the city. People like them are not worthy!
"You, you are so polite!" Grandma Su finally found her voice after a long while.
"Sister-in-law, I have always heard my old boss talking about you, and I have also thought about going to see you, but I have never had a suitable opportunity. This time you are here, so I have fulfilled my wish to see you."
Fan Shufang's tone of voice was very sincere, and she did not look down on her at all just because she was a country person.
"Quickly, go to the house to cook first. I have a table full of dishes waiting for you!" Dong Yuanzhong couldn't help but said, holding Grandpa Su's hand and walking inside.
Grandpa Su's mood also stabilized at this time.
Everyone on the left and right had already arrived, so I followed him in with relief.
The entire Su family arrived in the Dong family's living room in large numbers.
"Old chief, you know my parents, so I won't introduce them. This is my third brother, and this is my wife. I want to introduce these juniors to you!" Chen Zian took the initiative to speak.
"Let me guess, which one of these three boys is the first in our province this year!" Dong Yuanzhong became interested and looked at the three boys from the Su family with a smile.
Su Shouwen and Su Ciliang subconsciously looked at Su Sangong.
Dong Yuanzhong burst out laughing and said, "It's this kid, isn't it? He looks really smart!"
