After Chu Heng's persuasion, Ni Yinghong finally agreed to go with him to visit Guo Kai's house.
After all, the two families will still need to communicate with each other in the future. If you set the relationship so firmly, how embarrassing will it be for everyone to get together during the holidays?
Moreover, if you don’t look at the monk’s face, you also have to look at the Buddha’s face, right?
If you don't want to see Guo Kai, isn't there Ge Erni?
After getting off work, the young couple went back to the courtyard, changed their bodies and clothes, brought some gifts, and then set off for Guo Kai's house.
Originally, Chu Heng planned to go with Two Mouths, but Ni Yinghong refused. He felt that it was the first time for them to visit, and besides, they were attending a banquet, it would not be good to go empty-handed.
So I brought two bottles of canned food, as well as some wild products such as wood ear mushrooms.
This girl has always been like this. No matter what she likes or dislikes, her etiquette must be thorough. It is said that her grandmother taught her this when she was a child.
Chu Heng also particularly liked her merits of being sensible.
The young couple chatted about their daily routine and rode leisurely, arriving at the place in less than twenty minutes.
What appeared in front of them were six four-story red brick short buildings, with four edges like lines, straight and square, and quite a calm momentum.
These are tube buildings built by department stores many years ago. They can also be called Khrushchev buildings. Their style is based on Soviet residences, and the two are similar in appearance.
Guo Kaijia is the third building on the right. When you walk into the door, you will see a long dark corridor with many single rooms of about 10 square meters on both sides. There are public spaces such as water rooms and toilets on each floor.
Chu Heng's first impression of this place was that it was chaotic. The corridors were filled with firewood, cabinets, basins and other debris. Some residents after work were queuing in the toilet, while others were in front of the simple kitchen set up in the corridor.
Busy cooking.
There are also a group of energetic children playing and chasing each other in a small space. If they are not careful, they will bump into people. From time to time, they will also bump into other people's things placed on the wall, causing a burst of drinking.
scold.
There is less privacy here than in a courtyard house, and even the sound of a fart at night has to be broadcast to several households.
As soon as the young couple climbed up to the third floor, they saw Ge Erni cooking in a cloud of oil smoke.
There is a simple stove built with a wooden frame next to the door of her house. At this time, the girl is standing in front of the kerosene stove and busy happily. The big spatula is stirring in the pot, and the tangy meat is delicious.
The neighborhood kids are drooling.
"What delicious food did Erni make?" Chu Heng greeted with a smile.
Ge Erni turned her head when she heard the sound and saw the couple coming. She happily waved the spatula in her hand at them: "Brother, sister-in-law, you are here!"
After this period of adaptation, she was no longer as shy and shy as when she first entered the city, she had regained her original cheerful temperament, and her voice was much louder.
This is a sign of regaining confidence.
After saying hello, she quickly leaned forward and shouted into the room: "Guo Kai, Guo Kai, brother Hengzi and sister-in-law are here, come out quickly."
"I'm coming!"
Guo Kai quickly walked out of the house and welcomed Chu Heng and his wife into the house.
His room is very small, only 14 to 15 square meters in size. There are two rooms separated by a wooden wall in the middle. Each room is only seven to eight square meters. They also have to place beds in each room.
With wardrobes, tables, chairs and other furniture, you can imagine how much free space is left.
However, Xiaogui is small, but the room is not messy at all. Tables, chairs, benches, cups and kettles are all placed in their proper places, making the whole room feel very comfortable and harmonious.
From this we can see that Ge Erni is a woman who is very good at running housework.
Well, only a little worse than Xiao Ni...
After Chu Heng and his wife entered the house, they were warmly received by Guo Kai and sat down in the small living room.
After the three of them drank tea and chatted for a while, Ni Yinghong, who was a little restless, ran outside, planning to give Ge Erni a beating.
But how could Ge Erni let her guest help? She pushed and coaxed her back and said, "There's not much work left. I can do it myself. Sister-in-law, please come in and sit down for a while. Dinner will be served soon."
Already."
"Stop being busy, my wife is very domineering. Normally I won't let you touch the soy sauce bottle, let alone you." Guo Kai said to the girl with a smile.
Chu Heng also waved to his daughter-in-law and said with a smile: "We are guests, please do as you please, just wait for the meal with peace of mind."
"Er Ni is so strong!" Ni Yinghong, who was easily suppressed by Ge Er Ni, smiled helplessly and had no choice but to run back to the man and sit down beside him.
After about ten minutes, the food began to arrive on the table one after another.
There are four dishes in total, namely stir-fried pork with green pepper, stir-fried mixed vegetables, braised fish, and kung pao chicken. All of them contain meat, which can be regarded as a big investment.
When the dishes were all served, Ge Erni, who had been busy for a while, finally sat down. Without saying a word, she opened a bottle of Xifeng wine, first poured a full cup for herself, then poured a cup for Chu Heng, and finally
Even Ni Yinghong was persuaded to pour nearly two yuan of wine into the cup.
"My Guo Kai doesn't drink anymore, so today I'm here to honor brother Hengzi and sister-in-law for him." Ge Erni picked up the full wine glass, her delicate face was filled with simple sincerity, and she was filled with gratitude.
Looking at Chu Heng and his wife, "I haven't read a book, I don't know a few words, and I don't know what nice things to say, so don't laugh at me."
"Brother Hengzi, you have helped our family so much. I will remember it in my heart. I will never forget it in this life. From now on, you will be my brother. Wherever you are needed, you can say whatever you say. If I say no, I will go out."
Let the mad dog bite you to death!"
After Ge Erni finished speaking, she drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. This girl had never drank wine before, and she choked as soon as the spicy wine entered her throat.
"Cough cough cough!"
She covered her mouth and coughed violently to prevent the drink from spilling, and her entire face turned the color of pig liver.
But it made Guo Kai feel bad, and he quickly gave her a few blows on the back to help her calm down. After hesitating for a while, he took his wife's wine glass and said pitifully: "You have to be brave if I say I won't let you drink.
Please stop drinking, I'll accompany him."
"What are you doing?" Ge Erni suddenly raised her head, grabbed the cup from his hand, and glared: "You promised me that you would stop drinking in the future."
"I didn't say I wouldn't quit. I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable after drinking too much." Guo Kai said in a dumbfounded voice.
"Then you can't drink either. I'm willing to feel uncomfortable. As long as Brother Hengzi is happy today, I'll drink to death!"
Ge Erni turned to look at Chu Heng and his wife. Seeing that they were both holding wine but not drinking, she quickly said: "Brother, sister-in-law, drink quickly, I'm fine, I can still drink."
"Don't be like this, we are all outsiders. If you can't drink, I just won't drink. And I don't have to drink." Chu Heng, who willingly took a mouthful of dog food, shook his head with a smile, and raised his head to drink the wine.
Finally, he said to this simple girl sincerely: "As long as you and Guo Kai live a prosperous life, it will be better than anything else."
At this time, Ni Yinghong also held her nose and drank the little wine in her glass. Although it was not her first time to drink white wine, she still couldn't stand the hot taste.
The girl stuck out her tongue uncomfortably and said to Ge Erni: "That's right, Erni, you are being too public."
"This can't be done. My grandfather said that there is no banquet without wine, and there is no ceremony without wine. There is no reason to invite people to dinner without drinking." Ge Erni was unmoved. She took the wine bottle and poured wine for her.
