After taking the medicine, Yang Yaohua still needs to take a rest, so the conversation must come to an end for the time being.
The old general did not forget to tell Yang Weifan, "You chat with the guests, and we will meet you in the dining room for dinner later."
Then he said to Moody, "Madam, today is the New Year, and we have another guest. I can always have a drink, right?"
Although Moody still firmly rejected the application on the grounds that "you cannot drink while taking medicine", the old man was not really disappointed, but winked at Hong Yanwu and the others.
It can be seen from this action that today's conversation made him feel quite happy. He seemed to ask this just as a joke, not to achieve his goal.
So Yang Weifan took Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan back to his bedroom on the top floor with peace of mind.
Until before dinner, the three young brothers could relax and chat without worrying about being disturbed by others.
Yang Weifan told his friends that he had to take out all his money as soon as he entered the room. Not only did he take out "Sanwu cigarettes" and "MM chocolate beans", but he also had several bottles of Coca-Cola.
These were all rare items back then and could only be supplied through special channels.
Hong Yanwu really wanted to drink Coke, not only because he hadn't drank it for a long time, but he felt familiar and close when he saw it. It was also because the packaging of this kind of glass bottle was original, it did not contain any peculiar smell, and it was full of flavor.
.
He was not polite at all and opened the two bottles as soon as they were paired.
Then "Gudongdong" took a deep breath and hit the bottom.
Then he burped very comfortably and was very satisfied.
This made Yang Weifan frown a bit.
Because he never thought that Hong Yanwu would enjoy this thing so much. This thing is expensive, it costs four yuan a bottle. But the taste is really strange...
In the end, Chen Liquan's reaction was more in line with Yang Weifan's expectations.
This stupid boy took a bottle from Hong Yanwu and spoke frankly after just two sips.
"Yang Zi, why does this foreign soda taste like this? It's like Chinese medicine. It's far worse than our orange-flavored one! No...it can't be that my bottle is broken..."
"Hahaha", Hong Yanwu and Yang Weifan couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, the special feature of a truly high-ranking family is not only the enjoyment of food and drink. High-level treatment is implemented in every corner of the residence.
Not to mention the large-area housing, furniture, appliances, cars and staff allocated by the state. These are what they should be, and ordinary people can almost imagine them if they use their imagination.
But in an era when the majority of the people still relied on cattail fans and stoves, the Yang family actually had a central air conditioner for both heating and cooling. This kind of luxurious modern enjoyment was a bit ahead of its time and unimaginable.
The form of central air conditioning in this era is quite interesting.
Air-conditioning ducts and vents are not installed on the roof of the room, but are square devices with the same volume as radiators, installed on the walls of each room.
There are exhaust holes on the iron panel and a rotary button that can be used to adjust the temperature. Warm air in winter and cold air in summer.
Although the form is clumsy and crude, it still cannot be separated from the technological level and design capabilities of the year. But from a functional point of view, it is actually no different from the living standards of today's modern society.
"High-ranking cadres are high-ranking cadres! It's different, it's really different! It's completely different from the lives of us ordinary people!"
Hong Yanwu fiddled with it for a while and found that the temperature change was quite obvious. He couldn't help but sigh sincerely, but this made Yang Weifan a little embarrassed.
"Look at you, I was afraid you would think so, but you really think so. You think too much."
Unexpectedly, Chen Liquan had the same opinion as Hong Yanwu. This kid just came back from going to the toilet and couldn't help but admire it.
"Yang Zi, the independent toilet in your house is really big. Not only does the faucet come with hot water, but there is also a big bathtub. You can take a bath without leaving home. With this condition, it is comparable to
The shower in the small western-style building in Bincheng is still moisturizing. I remember in the movie, the homes of wealthy foreigners are like this. I didn’t expect that your family’s living standard has caught up with the capitalists. The treatment of this high-ranking official is really good.
.”
Yang Weifan's face turned even redder, but he complained in an argumentative manner.
"Hey, don't say that. The conditions are good, but don't forget, this place doesn't feel like home. You don't know, I don't have freedom of movement here. Half of the house is a forbidden area for me, especially
The reception room on the second floor and my father's study. My father used to be very busy and held meetings until late at night every night. If I wanted to tell my father something, most of the time I had to convey it through Secretary Han. Even my mother rarely met in person. Because
Her life revolves around my father. In addition, they often travel on business. The people I see most at home are the nanny, cook and security guard at home. Basically, I don’t spend much time with my parents.
We had dinner together. Can you imagine this kind of life? You really don’t have to be cheap and good. I have lived in this house for such a long time and I am not used to it. Besides, why are you always complaining about the toilet? Maybe you will move in later
It’s a big house with more toilets than ours.”
Hong Yanwu was amused. Without waiting for Chen Liquan to answer, he interrupted.
"That's right. I have a hunch that Quanzi's house will definitely not be smaller in the future. Maybe it will be as big as a dozen toilets, which is a generation larger than yours. But Yang Zi, your mode of complaining is a bit too...
Problem, because we really can’t empathize with you. It’s natural that you want to stay with your parents every day. But from our point of view, we are quite afraid of seeing your parents. Look at your dad, he is kind, but
The old man is also very good at making jokes, and I feel guilty when I see him. As for your mother, she is too serious, and she never smiles at us, which makes people even more scared..."
Seeing Chen Liquan nodding in agreement again, Yang Weifan couldn't help but smile.
"I'm scared of my dad too. But my mom... there's absolutely no need for you to be afraid of her. My mom is a monster. She never smiles, and she doesn't smile to me either. She's probably afraid of wrinkles on her face. My mom is also afraid of her.
She is snobbish, mysophobic, and is going through menopause. Anyway, in daily life, food, drink, clothing, everything is picky and pretentious. If you said that my mother was a perfect person, you would be forgiven for being afraid of her. But she has so many shortcomings.
Why are you afraid of her?"
This Hong Yanwu can grasp the topic.
"Hey, you kid, why did you arrange my hometown like this? It's so disrespectful. If I want you to hear me, I have to whip you. Anyway, you can't say anything about 'home' behind my back. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, your lesson is right. I know that if I put this in the alley, the neighbors will slap me if they hear it. Just like Grandma Feng in the past..."
As soon as the words came to this, Yang Weifan's expression twitched and he could not continue. Obviously, the last three words accidentally touched his emotional forbidden zone.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan looked at each other. They both couldn't help but become serious and asked him together.
"Feng family, haven't you found them yet?"
"Is there no news at all about their whereabouts?"
Yang Weifan really sighed.
"It's really not true. I really had no choice, so I entrusted this matter to my mother. But who would have thought that not long after, something happened at home. Now that my father is like this again, he can't take care of it anymore...
…”
While the three young brothers were chatting, no one of them expected that. At the same time, Yang Yaohua was also having a conversation about them.
The initiator of the review is Moody's.
"Hey, Yaohua, you seem to like those two Xiao Liuer's friends today. Do you think they are nice people?"
Yang Yaohua seeks truth from facts.
"It's hard to tell. I'm more enthusiastic because they are the guests I invited. After all, we only met them for a few minutes, so it's hard to say what kind of people they are. However, I think those two children are quite simple. Compared with Xiao Liu'er, they are quite simple.
They seem to be getting along well together. Didn’t you hear about what they did in Bincheng? They share weal and woe. It’s quite like that..."
Moody shook his head.
"Simple? It's hard to say. Sharing weal and woe? That's because our sons are too honest to people. Actually, I don't dislike them for anything else. The most important thing is that I am worried that they have any special purpose in contacting Xiao Liu'er?"
Yang Yaohua felt a little displeased.
"Why do you think so? What do you mean? They have been through labor camps and have made mistakes. Young people, it was like being given chicken blood during that period. I think the son of the teacher they beat was just like them.
There's no difference. Didn't Xiao Liu'er also fight? Don't think the worst of people easily..."
Moody's argued.
"It's not because of this. Just ask Xiao Han..."
In this way, Han Shan was involved and had to speak.
In fact, what Moody was referring to was that Yang Weifan had taken the initiative to ask someone to transfer Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan into the "Hai X Compound". Although Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan later refused, the person Yang Weifan asked was because they were sent to the labor camp.
Guo Qiang was very worried, but told Han Shan about it.
Han Shan knew Yang Weifan's importance to Moody, so he would not hide it from her. But now that Moody has said so, Yang Yaohua also knows the same.
But after Yang Weihua heard this, his focus was not on Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
"Didn't he refuse and nothing was done? This doesn't mean anything. But Xiao Liu'er, how come he is used to asking others to do things? He thinks he can call the shots, but it's not my banner. No, this matter has to be done
Tell him well."
Moody's naturally wants to protect its shortcomings.
"This is not a big deal, right? Which cadre's child is not like this? For the country and Weijiang, they are even more... Forget it, let's not talk about it. What I am telling you now is the problem of my son making friends. What I am most worried about
That’s the nature of those two kids.”
"What are you talking about? I haven't done anything. I'm overreacting."
"What an overreaction? In fact, it's because they didn't agree to the job transfer that I'm even more worried. In my opinion, people are greedy beyond imagination. I'm afraid they don't agree because they don't like the job. You just
Don't you think they are all strange? The one named Chen is silent, but he looks guilty at first glance. As for Xiao Wu, his eyes are sneaky and he knows a lot. Why do you think he treats you so badly?
You know so much about past achievements? Can you say this is unintentional? No matter how I think about it, it doesn’t feel right.”
Han Shan also agreed and quickly made a suggestion.
If that doesn't work, I'll mention the job transfer to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan again during dinner. This time I might as well speak louder and ask them if they have any other requests.
Let's see how much appetite they have. Even if you try to catch big fish for a long time, you can't always pull the hook.
Moody kept saying yes, saying that this was the best way to show his character.
Although Yang Yaohua felt that it was not good to test someone like this when they first met.
But then he thought about it, Hong Yanwu was indeed too familiar with him in the conversation just now, and he really couldn't ignore such doubts, so he fell silent for a while.
