Chapter 483 The road is blocked due to heavy snow, so we need to stay for a few more days
Su Mingzhe looked at Wang Quan's smile that couldn't be hidden from the corners of his eyes, and couldn't help but ask:
"Did you get your girlfriend back again?"
"I'm back, Brother Su. She has been waiting for me for the past six months and has never found a new boyfriend."
When Wang Quan said this, his tone was a little sweet and a little excited.
Su Mingzhe continued to ask noncommittally:
"What does your girlfriend do?"
"Working as a waiter in a state-owned hotel."
When Wang Quan said this, he seemed to be afraid that Su Mingzhe would look down on his girlfriend's career, so he quickly said: "It's hard to find jobs in Jichun City recently. It's already very rare to find a job as a waiter in a state-owned hotel."
"I didn't say anything."
When Su Mingzhe saw Wang Quan's reaction, he knew that this boy was a bit inferior to the waiter profession. In order to prevent Wang Quan from feeling inferior again, he simply dug into the details and continued to ask, which hotel is Wang Quan's girlfriend?
What's your name?
Wang Quan also answered them one by one.
The two of them kept chatting until about eight o'clock.
At this time, the snowflakes were falling bigger and bigger.
It seems to be past eight o'clock, and the motorcade has not arrived yet.
Su Mingzhe and Wang Quan discussed whether to call the forest farm and ask what was going on.
At this moment, the clerk in the duty room of the Educated Youth Office suddenly came out to send a message, saying that he had received a call from the lumber factory and the captain of the forestry team, asking him to tell him that he had received a notice from the meteorological station that there would be a meeting in the next two days.
There was a blizzard, and the transport team had to wait for news on the spot for more than three hours.
The distance from Jichun City to Mulan County is four hours' drive, which is just the right time to stop and wait for news.
Therefore, the convoy cannot leave today.
After receiving the notice, the captain of the motorcade called the Educated Youth Office and asked them to notify Su Mingzhe and Wang Quan who were waiting.
"You two go back first. The team said that the snow is too heavy. The weather station informed that the snow will not stop within two or three days. The team will not be able to start until at least next Monday."
Su Mingzhe and Wang Quan looked at each other, feeling both happy and helpless about the news.
However, since they got three extra days off out of thin air, the two of them would not be pretentious.
Su Mingzhe first asked someone from the Educated Youth Affairs Office for a large canvas to cover the two machines to prevent snowflakes from falling on it and turning into ice water, which would freeze the machines.
After protecting the machine, Su Mingzhe said to Wang Quan:
"Wang Quan, please go home first. Don't run around these two days. Come to the Educated Youth Office more often. As soon as there is a convoy, we will leave immediately."
"Brother Su, can't we wait for the forest farm's convoy?"
Wang Quan was a little surprised.
Su Mingzhe said with worry in his eyes: "The village is still waiting for news about us. Moreover, there are only three girls in the school and there are no men around. I am afraid that they will be in trouble and there will be no way to solve it."
Wang Quan also calmed down and remembered that there were three female educated youths in Baiya Mountain.
Suddenly, he also said worriedly:
"We made an appointment with the old village chief to pick us up in Mulan County. Now that we can't go back, he will definitely be worried if he can't pick us up."
"I'll call Director Yang later and ask them to find a way to notify you."
Su Mingzhe said and asked Wang Quan to leave. He went to the Educated Youth Office to borrow a phone and told Director Yang of the Mulan County Educated Youth Office about the situation.
Director Yang walked out of the office and looked at the snowflakes that started to fall in the sky. After returning to the office, he could only ask helplessly:
"Then you should pay attention in the past two days. Once there is a car returning to Mulan, come back immediately. In addition, you don't have to worry about the village. I will call the village chief and tell the village chief that there are six dogs around the three female educated youths.
It will definitely be fine."
Baiyashan Village is affiliated to Liuhe Commune. Baiyashan Village does not have electricity or telephone, but Liuhe Commune does have electricity and telephone.
Director Yang hung up the phone on Su Mingzhe and called the director of Liuhe Commune.
Soon, the director of Liuhe Commune sent a cadre on a bicycle to inform the old village chief of Baiyashan Village.
Su Mingzhe reported the situation and went home first.
At this time, Jiang Cuiping had already gone to work, and her younger brother Su Mingxue was the only one at home.
Su Mingxue was naturally very happy when he knew that his eldest brother would stay at home for two more days.
Later, Su Mingzhe went to Zheng's house on the pretext of going to the lumber factory to inquire about the situation of the fleet, and told Zheng Juan.
The three members of the Zheng family were naturally overjoyed to know that Su Mingzhe could stay for three more days.
Especially Zheng Juan, she is deeply in love with Su Mingzhe, and it would be good if they could stay together for one more minute.
Su Mingzhe looked at his watch. It was just past nine o'clock:
"Auntie, let me see Guangming's doctor first. I'll go to the lumber factory later to check on the situation."
"Brother Mingzhe, you can see a doctor anytime. Brother, you'd better go to the lumber factory first."
Zheng Guangming was psychologically very happy that Su Mingzhe could stay for three more days, although when Su Mingzhe was at his home, Zheng's mother took him out for a walk every afternoon until evening.
However, in a few months, he will be able to see the world with his eyes.
This news kept him in a state of excitement and joy.
Another point, Su Mingzhe once told him that one injection was more effective than taking medicine for ten days.
If Su Mingzhe, the brother-in-law, could stay for three more days, he would be able to take less medicine for a month and see the world a month earlier.
"Guangming, it doesn't take much time to get to the lumber factory."
Su Mingzhe smiled and touched Zheng Guangming's little head.
This brother-in-law is only five or six years old. Perhaps because he is blind, he has always maintained a cautious attitude towards the world, which makes people feel distressed when they see him.
After giving Zheng Guangming an injection and checking his recovery, Su Mingzhe agreed to have lunch together after returning from the lumber factory, and then said goodbye to the three of them and left.
The wood processing factory in Jichun City, whose full name is Jichun Hongxing Wood Processing Factory, is responsible for wood processing work in nearly a hundred forest farms in the Songhua River area and Jichun City.
When Su Mingzhe rushed to the wood processing factory, the workers here did not stop working because of the snow. On the contrary, the workers were shouting slogans and working vigorously.
At the guard, Su Mingzhe showed his identity, and the guard notified the team driver at the Mulan County Forest Farm on his behalf.
Soon, team captain Gao Yaxuan ran over and was quite surprised to see Su Mingzhe looking for him:
"Su Zhiqing, I have already called the Educated Youth Office and told me that the train cannot be dispatched today. Didn't you receive the notice?"
"Captain Gao, I have been notified."
Su Mingzhe first expressed his gratitude to the team for timely notification of the news, and then smiled:
"Before, I always said that I would invite everyone to have a dinner together, but you always said that you have no time and no time. Now that the roads are blocked by heavy snow, we might as well have fun and let me, the host, be the host, and everyone can have a dinner together in the evening.
Ju. What do you think?"
"How dare you ask Su Zhiqing to spend money on this?"
Gao Yaxuan must have been very happy when he heard Su Mingzhe's invitation.
Being invited to dinner is also a sign that one's own value is reflected.
However, one should not be too down-to-earth in life. As soon as Su Mingzhe opened the invitation, he immediately agreed, which seemed too unreserved.
It's not like he hasn't eaten in a restaurant before. Gao Yaxuan doesn't want to be looked down upon.
However, Su Mingzhe refused to be polite to Gao Yaxuan and directly reached out to pat him on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Captain Gao, I treat you all as friends. I treat you to this meal so that I can continue to trouble your team to help. It's settled. At five o'clock in the evening, we will be at the Chaoyang Hotel. See you there.
."
"Okay."
Seeing that Su Mingzhe had this attitude, Gao Yaxuan stopped being polite.
After all, after all, the two parties have known each other for half a year.
The team also picked up Su Mingzhe a few times and gave him a meal, which was no big deal.
As for Su Mingzhe's request for his help, Gao Yaxuan didn't take it seriously.
The two decided to have a meal, and Su Mingzhe first went to the nearby Chaoyang Hotel to reserve a table.
Wang Quan's girlfriend works at Chaoyang Hotel.
What a coincidence, this hotel is not far from the lumber factory.
When Su Mingzhe arrived at the place, he didn't go directly to Wang Quan's girlfriend. Instead, he went to the counter to book a table with the manager.
In this era, to go to a restaurant to eat, you not only need money, but also food stamps and meat stamps.
When Su Mingzhe arrived at Chaoyang Hotel, he first took out his work ID and proved his identity, and then started to register table reservation information.
When Su Mingzhe started ordering, the manager rushed through the menu one by one:
"One, two, three, four... thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen... a total of sixteen dishes, little brother, how many people are you going to come?"
"There are indeed a lot of people here, fourteen of them."
The convoy led by Gao Yaxuan has a total of six vehicles, and there are two drivers arranged in each vehicle, which is twelve people.
Including Su Mingzhe and Wang Quan, there are fourteen people.
The hotel manager stopped being surprised when he heard so many people came.
"Two more soups, mushroom soup and pickled cabbage soup."
"no problem."
As a restaurant owner, the manager is definitely not afraid of pot-bellied men.
After Su Mingzhe ordered the food, he smiled again:
"Manager, can I use a large plate for tonight's food? I can pay more."
"That's no problem."
The hotel manager took out his abacus and made calculations:
"A total of thirty-two dollars and fifty cents, plus eight pounds of food stamps and three pounds of meat stamps."
The price is really not cheap. You must know that the monthly income of ordinary workers is only twenty or thirty yuan.
Su Mingzhe's meal cost someone else a month's salary, or even more.
If you don’t increase the amount, maybe twenty yuan is enough.
However, Su Mingzhe asked for a big plate, and the manager conveniently increased the price of the meal by several percent.
Under the manager's gaze, Su Mingzhe looked calm and took out the money ticket from his pocket.
The manager confirmed the tickets one by one and issued a receipt for the table reservation to Su Mingzhe.
When Su Mingzhe brings people over for dinner in the evening, he can just take this receipt.
Su Mingzhe took the receipt and was about to turn around and leave. Suddenly he remembered something and turned around and asked:
"Manager, can we bring our own drinks?"
"Okay, no problem."
Chaoyang Hotel is a state-owned hotel. Although there are many rules, they are still reasonable most of the time.
Guests are required to bring their own drinks, and the hotel staff will not stop them.
Su Mingzhe nodded, thanked him, and then turned and left.
Afterwards, he went to Wang Quan’s home and told Wang Quan that the party in the evening would be at the Chaoyang Hotel:
"Wang Quan, please visit your girlfriend this afternoon and ask her to help take care of her. As long as this treat is successful, we can save a lot of effort in the development of Mulan County."
When Wang Quan heard that the evening banquet involved future development in Mulan County, he immediately laughed and said:
"Brother Su, don't worry, I will make it clear to my girlfriend and make clear arrangements for the meal tonight."
"Okay, here is the receipt. Take it and go there in advance and ask your girlfriend to help you make arrangements."
Su Mingzhe rejected Wang Quan's invitation to have dinner at his home, gave the receipt to Wang Quan, and said goodbye.
At this time, Zheng Juan and Zheng's mother had already prepared lunch.
The four of us had dinner.
Mother Zheng was about to take her son out again, but Su Mingzhe quickly stopped her:
"Auntie, I'm going to Mulan County in a few days. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until the end of the year. In the past two days, I just want to take Zheng Juan out to go shopping and watch movies."
Zheng's mother knew that this was because Su Mingzhe felt sorry for her and her son, and did not want her mother and son to suffer when they went out on a snowy day.
Faced with this kindness, Mother Zheng smiled and reached out to pat the back of Su Mingzhe's hand and nodded in agreement.
This snowy day is really not suitable for the elderly and children to go out.
Even when Zheng Juan and Su Mingzhe went out, they were suddenly shivered by the cold wind.
Zheng Juan looked around and saw that there was no one around. She hugged the man's arm very simply, leaned on his shoulder, and walked together towards the nearest Heping Cinema.
Heping Cinema has a history of more than 50 years and has two floors.
It was at the entrance of Heping Cinema that Zheng Juan and Su Mingzhe met for the first time.
When the two of them arrived at the place today, the movie theater was going to show "Mine War".
"Land Mine Warfare" is also an old movie from a few years ago.
However, the two of them didn't come to the cinema to watch a movie, so they didn't hesitate at all and bought two tickets and went in.
As soon as the two of them entered, they discovered that there were quite a few people sitting in the cinema.
There are 1,200 seats on the upper and lower floors, with almost a hundred people sitting in front and back.
Because it's not the weekend and it's snowing outside, the people who can come to watch the movie are basically the "carefree" young people with some spare money.
There were many people here who were familiar with Su Mingzhe, but when they saw Su Mingzhe and a woman coming in, they were very sensible and did not come to say hello.
Su Mingzhe and Zheng Juan bought seats near the corner.
Soon the movie starts.
Because it is an old movie from a few years ago, everyone has watched it many times.
When male and female friends go to watch a movie, their attention will definitely not be on the movie.
Soon, strange things happened in the cinema.
As soon as Su Mingzhe held Zheng Juan in his arms, he could clearly feel that her whole body was tense and she was a little nervous.
Fortunately, Zheng Juan found that although the man hugged her, he was not as unscrupulous as other couples, so she slowly relaxed.
This is not because Su Mingzhe's conscience made him realize that he respects Zheng Juan.
Instead, he saw many acquaintances and was worried that he could no longer hide the news that he had a girlfriend.
In the future, if he goes to Zhou's house again and wants to pursue Zhou Rong, Zhou Bingyi will most likely give him a hard fight.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the movie ended.
Su Mingzhe awkwardly greeted his acquaintances, and then introduced his girlfriend Zheng Juan.
Everyone tacitly said goodbye and went their separate ways.
At this moment, Songji Avenue was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the snowflakes were still as big as goose feathers, falling continuously.
Su Mingzhe reluctantly calmed down, and then took Zheng Juan, who was in a happy mood, to Dabailou for shopping.
Dabailou is the most famous shopping mall in Jichun City.
This is Zheng Juan’s first time shopping here.
Su Mingzhe was naturally extravagant and bought a lot of things for his woman, including ready-made clothes and skirts, long leather boots, high heels, antifreeze skin care products, perfume, etc.
There is no woman who does not love beauty.
After receiving these gifts from the man, Zheng Juan was not very willing to let the man spend money lavishly, but after the man insisted on buying it for her, she happily tried on the dress.
Thanks to the heating supply of Dabailou, the temperature is quite high.
Zheng Juan walked out of the dressing room wearing only the small clothes underneath and a beautiful floral dress outside.
Seeing her showing her snow-white arms and dancing in circles in front of him, Su Mingzhe felt that his mouth and tongue were dry and his heartbeat was speeding up.
At this time, Su Mingzhe felt that the two of them needed to find a place to calm down.
Five minutes later, a place where people could calm down was found.
Three minutes later, Zheng Juan was dragged into a guest house by the man.
Don't ask, how to open a letter of introduction.
If you have the money, it is quite easy to book a guest room.
