Li Wenjun: "What's wrong with me? It's just a meal. You think I'm too mercenary."
Tao Guangming smacked his lips and shook his head: "Tsk, tsk, you're the kind of person who doesn't button up a button because you have ulterior motives, let alone inviting people to dinner."
Li Wenjun laughed angrily: "You are so long-winded. Tell me whether you should go or not."
Tao Guangming suddenly became nervous: "It's not so sudden."
Li Wenjun shook his head: "It's not sudden. I told my mother that you will come to my house for lunch today."
Tao Guangming glanced at him: "You lied to me, when did you say that?"
Li Wenjun: "I said it when I went out in the morning. They should have done it by now."
Tao Guangming thought for a while: "That's all ready. It won't work if we don't go."
Seeing his shy look, Li Wenjun nearly died laughing: "I'm not asking you to go to your father-in-law's house, why are you so nervous? Besides, this is not the first time you've met them."
Tao Guangming suddenly asked: "There is a supply and marketing store in your mining area, right? You can buy something."
Li Wenjun knew that he was going to buy something so that he could carry it with him through the door, so he said, "Yes, drive a hundred meters ahead and it will be on the right."
-----
Tao Guangming parked his car on the roadside and immediately attracted many people to stop and watch.
There is only one car in the entire mining area. This kind of cool military jeep has only been seen in movies.
Li Wenjun raised his chin towards the facade of the supply and marketing store, which was only five or six meters wide: "That's it."
Tao Guangming walked from left to right, and from right to left, his frown getting tighter and tighter.
Li Wenjun laughed: "Why, there's nothing you like?"
Tao Guangming sighed: "Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to carry these things to your house?"
When the salesperson heard this, he lost his composure and said sourly: "Hey, where does this leader come from? I have seen so many good things. Our supply and marketing cooperative sells all products that are in short supply, why are you losing it?"
Face."
Tao Guangming ignored her and asked Li Wenjun: "There's nothing worth seeing anyway. Just tell me what your family is short of. I'll buy whatever is missing."
Li Wenjun thought for a while: "How about you just pour two kilograms of soy sauce?"
Tao Guangming's face wrinkled: "Are you kidding me? I come to your house and carry two kilograms of soy sauce?"
Li Wenjun thought thoughtfully: "It seems a little short, so let's buy two more packs of salt. If that doesn't work, buy a pair of pig intestines. It's interesting enough."
-----
Finally, Tao Guangming carried a pair of pig intestines, a handful of side dishes, and a fish into the car.
The reason I didn't buy soy sauce was because I didn't bring a soy sauce bottle.
Li Wenjun suppressed his laughter to the point of internal injury, fearing that Tao Guangming would become angry due to shame, so he did not dare to show his face at all and followed him silently.
The salesperson at the supply and marketing store just saw Tao Guangming's car and smacked his lips: "It's really the leader who drove here."
------
Li Wenjun directed Tao Guangming to park the car next to Li Changming's row, then got out of the car and walked over.
Tao Guangming pointed to the red brick house and said: "When I was a child, I lived in a courtyard house. It is a bit like this house, but it is a circle, not a row."
Li Wenjun coughed and whispered: "Low-key."
Some courtyard houses in the capital are not suitable for ordinary people to live in.
Li Changming and Liu Cuihong greeted them: "Rare guest, rare guest, Comrade Tao Guangming, come in and sit down."
"Hello, uncle and aunt." Tao Guangming's face turned red and he stuttered, "I came here in a hurry and couldn't buy anything good. Don't dislike it, uncle and aunt."
Li Changming accepted it without any embarrassment on his face: "What the hell, you're too polite. Come have a casual meal and buy groceries."
Tao Guangming smiled awkwardly: "I really... don't know what to buy."
Diandian led Gu Zhanyan in through the door. When she saw Tao Guangming come in, she recognized him immediately: "Uncle Guangming."
The depression of not being able to buy a suitable gift was instantly gone. Tao Guangming said with a smile: "Hey, Diandian is so cute. My uncle was in a hurry today and didn't bring you any toys. I will prepare some for you next time."
.”
Diandian answered obediently: "Thank you, uncle."
Gu Zhanyan had already poured tea and brought it to Tao Guangming.
Tao Guangming asked Li Wenjun in a low voice: "Why don't you see your brother and sister-in-law?"
Li Wenjun: "Both of them are on day shift today."
Tao Guangming nodded: "Ah, yes. We are the two of us who are used to idleness."
As soon as these words were said, Liu Cuihong and Li Changming didn't know whether to laugh or be embarrassed.
Tao Guangming added: "I'm just kidding. Comrade Wenjun and I are both leaders, so we don't need to check in and clock in."
Liu Cuihong laughed and nodded: "My Junjun often said that Comrade Tao Guangming is very humorous and likes to joke. It turns out it is true."
Tao Guangming glanced at Li Wenjun, with an expression that meant he wanted to laugh but was holding back: "Junjun."
Li Wenjun sneered: "My nickname. When you are at home, does Auntie call you Guangguang or Mingming?"
Tao Guangming looked upright: "My mother always calls me Comrade Tao Guangming."
Gu Zhanyan couldn't help laughing.
Tao Guangming suddenly remembered something and said, "Let's go see a movie again on the weekend."
Li Wenjun asked: "What movie?"
Tao Guangming: "Caravan. Foreign movies."
Li Wenjun glanced at Gu Zhanyan and asked, "Do you want to see it?"
Gu Zhanyan knew that it was a lie that Tao Guangming was watching a movie, and it was true that he wanted to date Ji Rushi, so he smiled: "Okay."
Liu Cuihong had already put the dishes on the table. When she heard what they said, she waved her hand: "Go, go. We'll bring you some. It's rare for Xiao Gu to go out and play. Otherwise, the summer vacation will be over."
Li Changming greeted Tao Guangming: "Sit down, sit down, these are home-cooked dishes. Comrade Guangming don't dislike them."
Tao Guangming rubbed his hands: "How come? I always eat casually outside. When I get home, the nanny only cooks for me. It's hard to eat food like this, cooked at home."
Li Changming and Liu Cuihong looked at each other. In their understanding, only the homes of big landlords and capitalists in the old society had nannies and servants.
So they were not sure whether Tao Guangming was joking or telling the truth.
Li Wenjun hurriedly said: "He is joking. Their families are quite busy, so it is difficult to get together. They often eat in the cafeteria."
Li Changming suddenly realized: "This is also possible. If your aunt hadn't been at home, we might have had to eat in the cafeteria."
Tao Guangming smiled and did not explain. He only said: "It feels so good to have a family sitting together to eat. You can imagine how lively it will be when Li Wenyong and the others come back in the evening."
Liu Cuihong said with a smile: "Comrade Tao Guangming has several brothers and sisters."
Tao Guangming sighed: "I only have one sister. After I get married, I won't come back often."
Liu Cuihong said: "It's okay, just get married and have a few children, and things will become lively. When your Uncle Li and I first came to the mining area, there were only a family of three. Later, Wenjun married two more daughters-in-law, and
It gets lively after a while.”
Tao Guangming smiled: "Yes. I have to hurry up."
After saying that, he glanced at Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun pretended to be confused: "What do you think I am doing? I can't help you at all with your childbirth."
Tao Guangming gritted his teeth and said, "Do I want you to help with this? Don't interrupt me."
Li Wenjun suddenly realized: "Oh, my sister-in-law can help you."
