After we sat down, wine and food were brought out one after another, including two cold dishes and six hot dishes, plus a two-pound jar of Huadiao wine.
Shen Zhifeng smiled and said: "Everyone, this is the authentic Shaoxing Nuerhong. Everyone is happy today and everyone wants to drink some."
While talking, he held the wine jar and poured wine one by one.
Mrs. Xu quickly said: "I'm sorry, I don't know how to drink."
Tong Tong was naturally familiar with others. Even when they met for the first time, she didn't feel a little bit reserved. She said, "Mrs. Xu, it doesn't matter if you drink less. The wine they drink in Zhejiang is almost the same as water."
Hearing what Tong Tong said, Mrs. Xu glanced at her husband, and Xu Li said: "Xiaowan, just drink less with Miss Tong and Mrs. Shen, so as not to ruin everyone's fun."
It was Xu Wenxiu's turn, and Xu Wenxiu said apologetically: "Ordinarily I should accompany you all to drink some, but I feel a little unwell today, so I can only drink tea instead of wine."
Shen Zhifeng felt a little strange. When the two of them were at home, they would occasionally have a couple's drink. Xu Wenxiu couldn't drink too much of this low-alcohol Huadiao wine, but he could drink it in a small bowl. What happened today?
It didn't matter to others. The hostess said she wasn't feeling well, so she couldn't force others to drink. Tong Tong didn't care about that and said, "Wenxiu, you're wrong. You are the host, so it's okay to mean what you mean." ?”
Xu Wenxiu had no choice but to say a few words to Tong Tong.
Tong Tong said in surprise: "Really?"
Xu Wenxiu blushed and nodded.
The women whispered, but the men didn't pay attention. At Shen Zhifeng's suggestion, they picked up their wine glasses and drank a round of wine first.
Shen Zhifeng took a mouthful of food and said casually: "Captain Jiang, how did you and Teacher Xu meet?"
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while: "It seems to be June. Zhejiang Guild Hall held a hometown gathering. Only when I went there did I realize that there were so many fellow villagers in Yanjin. Oh, by the way, I heard Boss Li from the Guild Hall say, He also sent you an invitation, but you seemed to be on official business at that time, so you didn’t see it."
Shen Zhifeng nodded: "Qi Yuantai died unexpectedly. I was under investigation at the time and was in a bad mood. I missed the opportunity to get to know everyone."
Xu Li smiled and said: "It's not too late to get to know each other. Come on, everyone, I'd like to toast you all."
Tong Tong said to Mrs. Xu: "Mrs. Xu, are you also a teacher?"
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "No."
"Then what do you do?"
"Do nothing. Just wash, cook and take care of the children at home."
"How many children do you have?"
"two."
"Boy or girl?"
"They're all boys."
"how old are you?"
"One is fifteen and the other is thirteen."
"I think it's best to have three children at home, four is fine, but two would seem a bit lonely..."
No matter what the occasion is, as long as Tong Tong is there, the scene will never be too boring. She can talk to both familiar and unfamiliar people.
After drinking a few rounds of wine, Shen Zhifeng said with emotion: "Now the price increase is too outrageous. Wenxiu went to the vegetable market yesterday to buy eggs. In the morning, it was still 900 yuan per catty. After noon, it became 1,000 yuan. If this is the case, If we go down, the little salary we earn will have no choice but to drink the northwest wind."
Jiang Xinyu said: "The whole country is the same. It is all caused by war. When Gongfei is completely wiped out, the world will be at peace."
Shen Zhifeng shook his head slightly: "Captain Jiang, if you say this ten years ago, I believe that now, it is no longer time for the Communist Army to climb snowy mountains and cross grass. Judging from the current situation, we can maintain
The current situation should be thanked and eradicated? It’s easier said than done... Teacher Xu, are you right?”
Xu Li said: "To be honest, I don't care much about politics, but I believe that the government can win the final victory."
Shen Zhifeng sighed and said: "I also believe that the government can win the final victory, but it must pay a higher price than the war of resistance... By the way, Teacher Xu, I passed by 18th Street a few days ago and I happened to see you looking like
I bought a barrel of oil, but because I was on official business at the time, I didn’t get out of the car to say hello to you.”
In fact, not only ordinary people like Xu Li, but also many government officials often visit the black market. There is no other way. Sometimes scarce materials can only be purchased on the black market.
"Oh, I didn't have enough kerosene at home, so I went to 18th Street and bought a barrel of kerosene." Xu Li admitted frankly.
If there were spies spying on him, Shen Zhifeng would definitely know exactly where Xu Li went and what he bought, not to mention there was no need to hide it.
"Can you still buy barrels of kerosene at this time? Teacher Xu, you are really capable. You must be connected to some big boss, right?" Shen Zhifeng looked surprised and envious.
Xu Li smiled and said: "I am just a teacher. I don't know any big boss. Captain Jiang helped me buy cheap kerosene."
Shen Zhifeng suddenly realized: "It's no wonder. For things you can't buy in Yanjin, it's even more effective to ask Captain Jiang for help than to ask the mayor."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "We are all our own people, so don't flatter each other."
Amid the cheers and laughter, everyone drank another round of wine.
Shen Zhifeng stood up: "Everyone, eat slowly and use it slowly. I'll go out for a while and I'll be back soon."
Tong Tong frowned and thought for a while, then leaned over, his lips almost touching Jiang Xinyu's ear, and whispered: "How can you tell Teacher Xu casually about your identity as a Secret Service agent?"
Jiang Xinyu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that he had made a small mistake.
According to the internal regulations of the Security Bureau, Security Bureau personnel are not allowed to reveal their true identities.
Jiang Xinyu is nominally an engineer at the United Kerosene Oil Factory. The United Kerosene Oil Factory is a military-industrial enterprise, and ordinary people cannot find out the internal conditions of the factory, thus avoiding the leakage of identity to the greatest extent.
In the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Xinyu and Xu Li have only been dating for a short time, so why did they tell each other their true identities?
Jiang Xinyu suddenly understood that today's dinner was a trap from the beginning.
When he first came in, Shen Zhifeng addressed him as Captain Jiang. He was used to this kind of title, and Jiang Xinyu didn't pay attention at the time.
Forget it if he doesn't care, Xu Li should respond and ask about the origin of the title "Captain Jiang", because normally, Jiang Xinyu interacts with him as a kerosene plant engineer.
Jiang Xinyu always gives people the impression that he is a humble and cautious person. How could he reveal his identity unnecessarily when facing a fellow countryman with whom he has not had much contact?
Jiang Xinyu can conclude that Shen Zhifeng must have become suspicious on this issue!
Tong Tong and Jiang Xinyu were whispering. The two of them were at a distance that allowed men and women not to be intimate. In front of so many people, they looked somewhat indecent.
