"I heard from your sister that you are going to Qilu when you go to the countryside this time?"
Zhang Yu asked while holding a tea cup.
Mengxue nodded slowly.
Although Mengxue lowered her head, Zhang Yu could still feel the low pressure on Mengxue.
"If you don't want to go, you can apply for sick leave, and you can go after finishing high school."
Mengxue knew that her brother-in-law was thinking about her, but Mengxue knew that she was not a child now and could no longer be willful.
"Brother-in-law, I know, but all my classmates have gone, and I can't affect the enthusiasm of the team because of my own emotions."
"I'm going there sooner or later anyway. I've also inquired about Qilu, and it's much better than the northwest."
After Mengxue finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Yu firmly.
Zhang Yu knew her decision and nodded slowly.
"Tomorrow, ask your sister for three hundred yuan."
Just as Mengxue was about to refuse, Zhang Yu raised his hand to interrupt her.
"Don't speak yet, listen to me."
"Thanks to you for watching over Nuannuan and the three of them these past years, otherwise Guang Mengyi would be very, very tired by herself."
"One more thing, you are Mengyi's sister, and you are also my Zhang Yu's sister."
"Of course I won't see you go to the countryside to suffer poverty."
"It's not just you, I haven't been left behind in Mengguo either. I will ask your sister to send him some during the holidays."
Mengxue did not refuse when she heard this, and felt warm in her heart.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!"
"As a family, there is no need to be so polite."
Zhang Yu raised his hand and glanced at the time, and found that time passed very quickly, it was almost five o'clock.
"Okay, I have to go cook."
Zhang Yu said, finished drinking the tea in the bowl and stood up.
Mengxue stood up immediately,
"Brother-in-law, let me help you."
"Okay, let's work quickly."
The two of them have been busy in the kitchen for more than two hours, and now Lao Yuan and Lao Wang have returned.
Especially Lao Yuan did not return empty-handed this time, bringing back more than four kilograms of grass carp a day.
By chance, there was no fish on the table, so Zhang Yu quickly scraped off the internal organs of the fish, cut the surface of the fish, put it on a plate, and steamed it.
Turn around and pick up the kitchen knife and cut some shredded green onion, minced garlic, minced ginger and pepper.
When the fish is steamed to the heat, spread the shredded green onion, minced garlic, minced ginger and chili evenly on the fish.
Heat a little hot oil in the pan, pour it evenly on the fish, and a strong aroma instantly fills the entire kitchen.
This is Zhang Yu’s first time making this dish, and the main problem is the ingredients.
Such large grass carp are rare on the market, and most of them are taken home by fishermen to improve their meals.
In addition, Zhang Yu doesn’t have this hobby, so he simply doesn’t bother to do it.
During the meal, Lao Yuan had to drag Zhang Yu to have a drink with him, but Zhang Yu couldn't hold him back, so he had to go along with it.
After going back and forth, the two of them had almost finished drinking, but the children insisted on going home to sleep, so the family had to say goodbye to Lao Yuan and Lao Wang and returned to the compound.
……
Early in the morning, after Zhang Yu finished exercising, he prepared breakfast and called Mengyi and the children to get up and have breakfast.
Zhang Yu and Mengyi worked together to send the children to the nursery. Zhang Yu then sent Meng Yi to the school gate. After watching Mengyi enter the school gate, he went to the newspaper office according to the address given yesterday.
Zhang Yu put his car in the bicycle parking area and entered the newspaper office with his backpack.
After entering the door, Zhang Yu was dumbfounded because the address did not say where Liu Qing's office area was.
This is a lesbian at the door who noticed Zhang Yu.
"Hello comrade, do you need any help?"
Zhang Yu followed the sound and looked.
Only then did the lesbian see Zhang Yu's face clearly, and for a moment she couldn't remember that she was fascinated by Zhang Yu Junlang's face.
"Hello comrade, Comrade Liu Qingliu and I agreed to meet at the newspaper office yesterday, but the address Comrade Liu Qing gave me did not include his office area."
As Zhang Yu talked, he noticed the fiery eyes of the lesbian, which made Zhang Yu particularly uncomfortable
"Comrade, comrade!"
"Do you know Comrade Liu Qing's office area?"
The lesbian realized now that it was so rude to stare at someone rashly.
However, lesbians are 100% sure of Zhang Yu's appearance, he is so handsome.
"Hello comrade, my surname is Zhao. My name is Zhao Xueyingying. What is your surname?"
"Oh, my surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Yu."
Zhang Yu heard Zhao Xueying's question and introduced himself.
Zhang Yu noticed the look in Zhao Xueying's eyes just now. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Yu chose to deal with it indifferently.
It’s not that Zhao Xueying is not beautiful, Zhao Xueying is very beautiful, a beauty with a score of 90 or above.
But in Zhang Yu's opinion, there is still a gap between this appearance and Mengyi's.
Zhao Xueying's goal has been achieved. After all, it is not easy to ask too in-depth or too direct questions when meeting for the first time. After the first contact, it will be easier to get along with each other in the future.
"Comrade Zhang Yu, you are looking for Comrade Liu, right? I know where his work station is, and I will take you there."
"Hey! Thank you, Comrade Zhao."
"Don't call me Comrade Zhao. Just call me Xueying."
"My friends all call me that."
Zhang Yu simply smiled and did not pick up the topic.
"Comrade Zhao, please take me to see Comrade Liu Qing first. We have made an appointment to meet today. We don't want to delay it too much."
Seeing that Zhang Yu didn't take the move, Zhao Xueying felt a little emotional, but she was an experienced woman after all, and she suppressed her emotions very well.
"Let's go, I'll take you there."
After Zhao Xueying finished speaking, she turned around and walked upstairs. Zhang Yu picked up the satchel on his shoulder and quickly followed Zhao Xueying.
The two of them walked all the way to the third floor and arrived in front of an office.
Zhao Xueying raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Sounds soon came from inside the house.
"Come in!"
Zhao Xueying opened the door and walked into the office.
"Director Liu, Comrade Zhang Yu wants to see you."
When Liu Qing heard that Zhang Yu had arrived, she stopped caring about the work in hand and quickly closed her pen and stood up.
"Where is Comrade Zhang Yu?"
Zhang Yu at the door spoke up at the right time.
"Comrade Liu Qing, I'm here."
Liu Qing walked quickly to Zhang Yu and reached out to hold Zhang Yu's right hand.
"Hahaha, Comrade Zhang Yu, I am looking forward to the stars and the moon, and I am looking forward to having you here."
"After listening to your story yesterday, I didn't sleep all night!"
"The stories you told are so good and educational. They make me have endless aftertaste!"
"Let's go inside and chat."
Liu Qing invited Zhang Yu into the room and enthusiastically poured a glass of boiled water for Zhang Yu.
"Comrade Xueying, you have nothing to do here. Go and get busy."
Although Zhao Xueying wanted to stay, Liu Qing had spoken and she could not stay any longer.
Liu Qing could only leave the office unwillingly, and Liu Qing closed the office door.
Liu Qing enthusiastically chatted with Zhang Yu about the family's quarrels, but Zhang Yu just catered to her and didn't reveal much.
"Comrade Liu Qing, why did you come to me?"
Zhang Yu doesn’t want to chat aimlessly anymore, it’s almost ten o’clock.
Only then did Liu Qing speak out her thoughts.
"Comrade Zhang Yu, in my opinion, your short stories are very suitable for young children to learn. They can not only stimulate children's interest in reading, but also gain valuable knowledge from them."
"So I want to publish these little stories of yours in newspapers or even broadcast them on the radio."
"Of course, we are not empty handed. We can give you a thousand words and a hundred words of treatment, plus some food stamps and meat stamps."
When Liu Qing stated the conditions, Zhang Yu saw sincerity in his eyes.
Besides, Zhang Yu has no reason to refuse. Just like Liu Qing said, Zhang Yu also hopes that his story can be seen and heard by more people.
