After sitting at home for a while, the two families went to visit fellow villagers.
Boss Wu, a fellow villager, is familiar with Shen Jian. This time he wanted to find a better restaurant, so Zhang Zhong thought of his home, so he asked Shen Jian for Boss Wu's phone number.
Boss Wu is not a cultural person and has little interest in reading, but he also knows Zhang Zhong.
So when he received a call from Zhang Zhong saying that he wanted to order a meal, he patted his chest and said that he would definitely make arrangements for Zhang Zhong.
Both run restaurants, but Boss Wu and Lin Ruoshui are completely different.
Lin Ruoshui looks a little naive, but there is a bit of cunning in his temperament. He is a businessman at heart, but the kind of businessman with principles and sentiment.
But Boss Wu is different. He started from a roadside stall and worked hard for more than 20 years before he managed such a well-known restaurant.
Someone had previously advised him to expand his business scale and open chain stores in other places.
But Boss Wu didn't agree at all.
Call him timid or steady.
Anyway, in his heart, he just needs to keep running this store for the rest of his life.
Zhang Zhong heard Shen Jian say that when Shen Jian was chatting with Boss Wu, Boss Wu confided that he had been struggling for a living for the past twenty years, and only now could he start to enjoy the fun of opening a restaurant. .
After hearing this, Zhang Zhong couldn't help but give Boss Wu a thumbs up. A person who can live to this point is considered to be enlightened.
When Zhang Zhong and the others arrived, Boss Wu personally came to pick them up and introduced today's dishes to Zhang Zhong and the others. He spoke eloquently and seemed to enjoy the process.
Presenting the best food to diners and then receiving compliments is the joy of his life.
After Boss Wu left, Xu Wenxuan said with a smile, "This Boss Wu is a wonderful man. I rarely see a restaurant owner as enthusiastic as Boss Wu."
Cao Ruixia said, "Why do I feel that there are so many more enthusiastic restaurant owners than Boss Wu?"
Xu Wenxuan waved his hand and said, "Other bosses' enthusiasm exists for making money, it is an external enthusiasm, but Boss Wu's enthusiasm obviously comes from the heart. When he introduces the dishes in his restaurant, he has a unique A sense of pride. Just like a philosopher transmitting his philosophical theory to others, full of passion."
"I'm afraid this is also because Boss Wu has achieved financial freedom, so he can pursue other things."
"Maybe, this is something that cannot be verified."
Zhang Xingjun smiled and said, "Brother, you are right. This thing cannot be verified. Everyone is different."
In fact, Zhang Xingjun is a bit similar to Boss Wu. His son is so rich now, but he still wants to open a small shop and live his own life. At most, he only has a photography hobby.
If his son hadn't suddenly become rich, he probably wouldn't have had a hobby of photography. After all, this thing does require money. It's really not practical for people who are running around every day to do photography.
But his passion for opening a small shop has always been there. The small shop is no longer his means of livelihood, but has long become a part of his life.
…
Everyone chatted for a while, and the dishes came out one after another. Zhang Xingjun invited everyone to drink. Today, except Pengpeng, everyone picked up their wine glasses. Even Xu Yuhan poured himself some red wine.
There is no need to think about driving anyway, there are plenty of people in their family who can drive.
After two rounds of drinking, Hu Huifang took the initiative and said, "I invited you to come over today. In addition to talking about not seeing each other for so long and having a meal together, I also have something to talk to you about."
She looked at Zhang Zhong and Xu Yuhan, "The two children have been together for such a long time. I wonder if I should find some time to sort out their affairs. Today I specifically want to ask you two for your opinions. What do you have?
You can bring forward any ideas or requirements, and we will try our best to satisfy them."
Hu Huifang's words are more worldly, but also very practical.
Cao Ruixia said with a smile, "Sister, times have changed now. Children have their own ideas. Her father and I, what we want is that as long as she is happy, we will not interfere. As for what you said about requirements or not.
, There is nothing special about our side, and Zhang Zhong is not the kind of child who needs us to make demands."
"Sister, I know you are considerate of your children, but a major life event like marriage cannot follow their whims. When two children get married, we will definitely do what should be done and do what should be done, and we will never let Yu Han do it.
I feel wronged." Hu Huifang said: "Although our two families are not far apart and both are from Jiangyang, as the saying goes, customs are different even if they are ten miles apart. I still want to ask about the customs over there..."
The next time was the home court of the two mothers, who began to discuss the process of getting married.
There are also gifts, dowry...
Although Cao Ruixia said at first that she had no demands in this regard, she was very enthusiastic when they actually talked about it and put forward a lot of ideas about Zhang Zhong and their wedding.
Zhang Xingjun and the others had nothing to say and could only toast each other.
Xu Yuhan secretly glanced at Zhang Zhong. She had not said anything since the two mothers started discussing marriage.
She looked embarrassed at this time. Although she had prepared in advance, this scene was something she had not expected.
It turns out that getting married is so troublesome.
Xu Yuhan couldn't understand the processes that Cao Ruixia and Hu Huifang were talking about, and she was always in a state of confusion.
Zhang Zhong actually didn't know much about the specific process of marriage, but he acted like an old god was there because he knew that he didn't need to understand these things and could just leave them to the elders to worry about.
There are things they need to worry about during marriage, but they are not these.
This is division of labor.
Pengpeng has been eating, but occasionally he will turn his eyes to look at his father and then at Teacher Xu.
She is no longer a four or five-year-old child, and of course she understands what adults talk about.
Teacher Xu is getting married to her father.
Pengpeng didn't have any special feelings. The only thing that troubled her was, if Teacher Xu married her father, what should she call her?
Should I call her mom?
But she was used to calling her Teacher Xu, and it would feel strange to call her mom.
Of course she wants a mother, because everyone else has a mother, and she is also willing to let Teacher Xu be her mother. Sometimes she treats Teacher Xu as her mother.
But I'm still not used to calling me mom.
Zhang Zhong noticed his daughter looking at him, but he didn't expect Pengpeng to be thinking about these things. Children's world is simple most of the time, but sometimes it is not as simple as adults imagine.
