Chen Qiping took the initiative to say hello, which somewhat surprised Su Xue.
Even the mayor was surprised.
"Director Chen, who are you and Director Su?"
Chen Qiping smiled and said: "My lover, Comrade Liang Ying, is friends with Director Su."
The mayor yelled, very surprised.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qiping's partner and Su Xue were still friends.
He turned to look at Su Xue: "Then Factory Director Su doesn't want to have a wedding drink before leaving?"
Su Xue also showed a polite and distant smile.
"I'm going to school, so I really can't be there in person, so I can only let my friends convey my thoughts."
Liang Ying went to her wedding and gave her five yuan as a gift. Now that Liang Ying is getting married, she must return the red envelope.
When Chen Qiping heard that Su Xue wanted to follow suit, the smile on his face deepened.
He wanted to say a few more words to Su Xue, but He Qingdong's tall body stood in front of him, blocking Su Xue and Chen Qiping's sight.
Mayor Yu, whose expression remained unchanged, said: "Mayor, if we have anything else to do, we'll leave first."
After speaking, he nodded to the mayor, and regardless of what the mayor thought, he took Su Xue's hand and left the town government.
But having said that, it was not so embarrassing for He Qingdong and the others to leave. What was embarrassing was that Chen Qiping and the mayor were left behind.
Just when Chen Qiping wanted to show off his popularity, He Qingdong and Su Xue slapped him in the face. Well, although this was not really a slap in the face, He Qingdong's cold attitude was more...
A slap in the face would be even more embarrassing.
It's like the kind where you approach someone with great enthusiasm, but the other party gives you a cold butt.
Oh, or in other words, the cold butt is not even touched.
This is very embarrassing.
Especially for someone like Chen Qiping who likes to save face, he felt even more embarrassed and humiliated at this moment. He looked at the mayor who was looking at him and smiled.
"Director Su and the others are really busy."
The mayor smiled and said nothing.
For the comrade who was about to be promoted to the county seat, the mayor didn't want to offend him. As for the embarrassment just now, he just pretended that he didn't see it.
…………
Su Xue and the others came out of the town government and walked on the street outside, their steps becoming slow and leisurely.
Since they did not rush back to Guangcheng immediately today, they were not in a hurry and had time to walk around the streets and see the changes on the streets.
Hongqi Town is still the same Hongqi Town, and they are still them, but many things and many people are no longer there.
"I didn't expect Liang Ying to choose to marry him in the end."
Su Xue sighed sincerely.
"This is her choice, she is an adult, an adult who can take responsibility for her actions."
"Um……"
Su Xue naturally knew.
Everyone has the right to choose. As a bystander, she can't do anything else after giving advice in advance.
To say more would be to go too far.
That night, they returned to the village.
Su Chen also returned to the village with them.
The three of them did not have dinner at their own homes, but Zhang Meihua invited them to their home for dinner.
Su Xue and the others were not polite, so they closed the door and went to Su Dafang's house together.
Zhang Meihua and Zhao Hong arranged a large table of meals together. On the dining table, there were vegetables, meat, and a fat old hen that Zhang Meihua specially killed.
She stewed the old hen for a long time until the chicken was soft and rotten.
I gave one thigh clamp to Su Xue and one to Grandma Su.
As for Zhao Hong, she was given two other wings and legs.
As for gay men, they just eat other kinds of meat.
Anyway, besides this old hen, there are also bacon, fried fish, fried peanuts and other things on the table.
There will never be enough food.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly, and eat more to replenish your body."
Zhang Meihua greeted them to dinner with great enthusiasm.
They were all relatives, so Su Xue and the others were not polite and ate as if they were at home. It was the chicken drumstick in the bowl that gave her a headache.
She habitually looked over to He Qingdong, wanting him to help share some of the burden.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Meihua saw this look, and Zhang Meihua was a little confused.
"What's wrong with Xiaoxue? Doesn't it suit your taste?"
Su Xue explained quickly.
"No, I just ate too much at lunch today." She must have been embarrassed to say that the chicken drumstick was too big and she couldn't finish it.
Zhang Meihua nodded.
"It's okay. Eat more. There's still a baby in your belly. Look at how thin you are, and you don't seem to be the type to eat well."
Zhang Meihua said and picked another chopstick of meat for Su Xue.
Su Xue:......
She felt that she couldn't delay any longer. If she delayed any longer, not only would the chicken legs not be 'sold', she might have to eat more vegetables.
Su Xue, who was aware of this fact, quickly stopped Zhang Meihua from picking up vegetables for her and started eating by herself.
However, the chicken legs Zhang Meihua chopped were really big!
Su Xue reluctantly finished the chicken leg, feeling that her stomach was about to explode. If she took another bite, she would definitely vomit it out.
Zhang Meihua was a little worried about Su Xue's appetite.
Instead, Grandma Su, who was sitting next to Su Xue, said: "Mother Baogang, go to the shelf in my room and take out the jar of plums."
"Hey, okay."
Zhang Meihua stood up, turned around and went to the old lady's room, and soon came out with a jar. It was a very clean clay jar.
Zhang Meihua took out the jar, and the old lady asked her to open it.
As soon as the jar was opened, Su Xue smelled a particularly pleasant smell, fragrant with a sweet and sour taste.
It may be a bit strange to describe it this way, but this is what Su Xue smells.
This sour, sweet, and slightly fragrant taste whetted Su Xue's appetite. Her stomach, which originally felt like vomiting at the slightest movement, suddenly felt empty and wanted to eat.
When the old lady saw this, she laughed.
"Want to eat? These are the plums I soaked last year. They are sour and sweet and are the most appetizing. Mother Baogang, pick out two pieces for Xiaoxue."
"Okay."
Zhang Meihua picked two pieces and put them in the bowl in front of Su Xue. She couldn't wait to pick up one with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
The plums that have been soaked for a year do not have any peculiar smell because they are well kept. On the contrary, because they have been soaked for a long time, the taste is particularly pure.
Su Xue put the plum into her mouth and took a bite eagerly.
My mouth is full of fluids, as if someone who has been thirsty for a long time has finally drank the nectar that quenches his thirst. I don’t know how to describe the feeling of soothing my whole body.
In short, after eating these two plums, Su Xue felt that she could have another bowl of rice.
She did eat another bowl of rice.
He Qingdong looked on and almost cried.
Getting Su Xue to eat has always been a big problem, but unexpectedly, she was able to eat an extra bowl of rice.
Well, although strictly speaking, she just ate the bowl of rice that belonged to her. After all, she just ate a chicken drumstick.
So now I just finished the meal I gave her before.
But this was enough to make He Qingdong overjoyed.
