Du Fei heard someone calling "Uncle Du", turned around and followed the sound, was slightly surprised, and immediately reacted.
Not far away, a family of four pushed a shopping cart over. It was Mr. and Mrs. Xiaojun and Xiaoling.
It was Xiaojun who called him just now, but the boy had grown up, grown taller, and his voice had changed, so he didn't recognize it.
Du Fei laughed: "Lao Yi! Auntie~"
The first man also had a smile on his face and took two steps forward: "Boss, I wish you a good year."
Mr. Yi retired as the deputy director of the 8270 Factory two years ago, but he is still in good health. Although he is retired, he is still responsible for technology in the factory as a consultant.
The eldest mother is also sixty, but she is full of energy. Her original gray hair has not only been dyed completely black, but also permed, making it fluffy and looking more beautiful. She followed the eldest man and talked to Zhu Ting.
Behind the two are brother and sister Xiaojun and Xiaoling.
Xiao Jun is already in his twenties, about 1.7 meters tall, fair and clean, wearing a pair of glasses and a smile on his face.
Although he moved out of Du Fei's courtyard and rarely had the chance to see Du Fei, Xiaojun always knew in his heart that without Du Fei, their brother and sister would not be where they are today.
When their family fled to the capital, their mother died of illness, leaving the siblings alone and helpless and about to be sent to a welfare home.
He also knew that at the beginning, the first man did not want to adopt them.
It was Du Fei's insistence that led to the subsequent results.
Xiaojun has always been grateful in his heart.
In comparison, Xiaoling is not that complicated. In her eyes, she is the biological daughter of the first man and his wife.
And since she was a child, she has also experienced the love of her parents. The only strange thing is that her parents are not the right age.
But in this day and age, it's actually not that strange.
At this time, many families had seven or eight children, and the last eldest child was often in his forties.
Xiaoling was now seventeen or eighteen years old, and she had become a grown-up girl. She was dressed beautifully, and she looked like she was not a girl from an ordinary family.
Du Fei greeted New Year with a smile, then patted Xiao Jun on the shoulder: "Jun'er, I heard that your marriage to Xiao Dang has been decided?"
Xiaojun blushed and scratched the back of his head.
This era was still quite innocent. Xiaojun and Xiaodang were childhood sweethearts, and the two families were in the same condition. The marriage talks came naturally.
There is no such thing as a bloody plot about a green plum losing to the sky.
The eldest mother smiled and said: "It's settled~ When we finish the work on May Day this year, we can settle their affairs next year."
When it comes to finding a wife for her son, the eldest mother beams with joy and wrinkles on her face.
Zhu Ting was slightly surprised. She was also involved in the adoption of the two children. She didn't expect that Xiaojun would get married in a blink of an eye, and she would marry the second daughter of Qin Huairou's family.
Several people on both sides gathered together, chatting while waiting for the checkout.
My family is never short of money. Even if I retire now, not counting other benefits, based on salary alone, a 70% investment for a month would be more than 150.
What's more, Xiaojun has already gone to work and has two full shopping carts.
As we chatted, we mentioned the original courtyard house again.
Although both families have now moved out of the courtyard, the elder's house there is still there. It was originally intended for Xiaojun's wedding.
After all, it has been said in the past that buying a house and land.
The house has always been a very important asset to the family and will not be given up easily if possible.
Therefore, the uncle and the aunt would go back and tidy up every now and then to prevent the house from being ruined if they cannot be used for a long time.
Times have changed there now, and half of the original residents have been replaced.
The second uncle's family has long since moved to the cadre building of the reverse rolling mill, and now the second uncle has retired despite his age.
However, Du Fei had no connection with their family. The only connection was with Liu Kuangfu, who went to Nanyang.
Speaking of Liu Kuangfu, he is now quite extraordinary. At the age of less than thirty, he and Yang Zhigang have become leaders on Sulawesi Island. They are in charge of several counties with a population of more than three million.
Talking about Zhu Zhu again, Du Fei smiled and said, "Master, how is Brother Zhu Zhu's family? It's been several years since I last had the chance to meet him."
The uncle said: "You talk about him! That stupid Zhuzi, stupid people have stupid blessings. Since marrying Jia Liying, he has given birth to three children on his shoulders. By the way, his father He Daqing is also back..."
Du Fei nodded. He had no impression of He Daqing, but he didn't ask in detail.
But according to the first uncle, Zhu Zhu is still living a pretty good life. He has no worries about food and clothing, a virtuous wife, and a complete set of children.
At this point, the eldest mother interrupted and looked at Zhu Ting: "By the way, you still don't know~Zhu Zi no longer works in the steel rolling mill."
Du Fei was surprised. He really didn't know about this. He didn't even hear Qin Huairou mention it when he met her last time.
She probably had other thoughts at the beginning. When Qin Huairou was with Du Fei, she hardly took the initiative to raise the pillar.
"Yeah~ I really don't know." Du Fei asked: "When did it happen? Where did it go?"
The eldest mother said: "Just last year, soon after his father came back, he said he found a friend and transferred Zhuzi to the newly established Foreign Affairs Hotel to work as a chef. He earned much more than he did in the canteen of the steel rolling mill."
Du Fei suddenly realized that this was what happened.
But this is not surprising. Although there is no big-scale reform like in the world before he traveled, with the changes in the economy and the loosening of social atmosphere, the situation is also changing.
With Zhu Zhu's craftsmanship, he would be able to work as a waiter at the Foreign Affairs Hotel.
As for the aunt who said she earns a lot, Du Fei also knows a rough idea. The salary at the Foreign Affairs Hotel is high. An ordinary waiter can earn more than 40 yuan a month. A master chef can earn at least a hundred yuan a month.
At this moment, a sound of "Hey" suddenly came from the people lining up next to him, and then someone shouted: "Master~Mom!"
Following the sound, I saw that there were also four people.
It was Xiaodang who was calling "big man, big mother" just now.
Although the relationship with Xiaojun has been confirmed, they are not married after all, and the title cannot be changed.
Du Fei and Zhu Ting also heard it and looked over.
Xiaodang has become a big girl. She is a little taller than her mother. She wears a high ponytail and smiles from the corners of her eyes and brows. Although she calls her uncle, all she sees in her eyes is Xiaojun and she doesn’t notice anyone else at all.
people.
Next to her is a little Sophora japonica, wearing a woolen coat, her hair tied into a bun on top of her head, with a red sandalwood hairpin inserted, which makes her look even more graceful than her sister.
Next to them is Qin Huairou and Qin Jingrou.
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, both of them are dressed fashionably and beautifully.
Qin Huairou raised her hand, apparently wanting to stop Xiaodang, when her eyes fell on Du Fei and Zhu Ting.
It was probably awkward because she didn't want to meet Zhu Ting, especially since Du Fei was still there, but it was a step too late. Xiaodang had quick eyes and a quick mouth.
Qin Jingrou, who was on the side, also saw this, with a hint of complexity flashing in her eyes.
Qin Huairou was helpless. She could sneak away just now and pretend not to see him, but now she couldn't and glared at Xiaodang.
Only then did Xiaodang realize that there were Du Fei and his wife over there. Knowing that he had gotten into trouble with his voice just now, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and shut up quickly.
She is in her twenties and is no longer a little girl. Little Huaihua knows things, how could she, her elder sister, not know this.
It would be fine if it was Du Fei alone. The problem is that Zhu Ting is also there. If he comes forward at this time, why not let her mother sit on the wax?
Qin Huairou was brewing her emotions for a while and glanced at Qin Jingrou next to her.
Qin Jingrou tilted her head slightly, glanced at Zhu Ting with a guilty conscience, and whispered: "We're queuing up~ I'm looking at things here."
The four of them bought a lot of things and filled two shopping carts.
I just got in line here, but if I really want to go over to talk, I have to get in line again.
Sophora japonica is very sensible: "Mom, I will accompany my aunt."
Qin Huairou said "hmm" and dragged Xiaodang to separate the group of people in the middle. She smiled before saying anything: "Master, mom~Xiao Du, Director Zhu..."
The first man and his wife are elders, so they must say hello first. After all, they come from the same hospital.
It was Du Fei's nickname, which made Qin Huairou feel troubled.
Everyone had a tacit understanding of their relationship, and it seemed inappropriate to call her Manager Du. Finally, after much deliberation, she decided to call her Xiao Du, but it didn't quite fit in with Zhu Ting's job title.
Qin Huairou couldn't care less. Xiaodang followed behind and said hello, but didn't dare to say anything.
"Sister Qin, are you here to buy new year's goods~" Du Fei asked with a smile. Feeling the awkward atmosphere, he had to break the silence: "By the way, where are the sticks? There are a lot of those things. How will you get them later?"
Qin Huairou smiled and said, "He went outside to call for a taxi."
Du Fei was suddenly confused, and he thought that they couldn't be the only ones buying so many things.
I guess all the delivery people in the capital are here these days. When I go out from the supermarket and buy too many things, especially dozens of kilograms of rice noodles, I will definitely have to call a cart to take me back.
Qin Huairou said again: "By the way, Banggan'er and Xiaoxue are getting married on May Day this year, so you should come over and have a wedding drink."
Du Fei glanced at Zhu Ting, although he had promised Qin Huairou earlier that he would go to Bangguner's wedding.
But now that Zhu Ting is here, the hostess of the family must be consulted on any matters that may arise within the family.
Zhu Ting had a smile on her face and was very decent from beginning to end. Not to mention small scenes like this, she never gave up too much even at the foreign negotiation table.
The few of them chatted for a while, and then they parted ways until they lined up to pay.
Du Fei and the other two were at the front. After paying the money, they said hello and left first.
The uncle followed closely and was done.
However, Qin Huairou and the others lined up slower, with two or three others in front.
Seeing Du Fei and Zhu Ting leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Xiaodang, Qiqi Aiai said: "Mom~ I just..."
Qin Huairou interrupted: "It's okay, don't be careless next time, you are about to get married."
Xiao Dang stuck out his tongue.
Qin Jingrou and Xiao Huaihua next to her were still watching the backs of Du Fei and Zhu Ting leaving.
The two people pushed the shopping cart and passed through the front aisle. Du Fei said something that made Zhu Ting laugh.
Qin Jingrou pursed her lips, unable to explain how she felt.
Last time she mustered up the courage to have an in-depth talk with Du Fei...
Qin Huairou found her in a daze and couldn't help but touch her with her hand.
Qin Jingrou looked back and was startled.
Qin Huai Judao: "Going far~"
Qin Jingrou blushed and tightened her hands while pushing the shopping cart, but she didn't feel sorry for herself like she did before.
…
At the other end, Du Fei and Zhu Ting came out. The driver drove the car to the door and waited, helping to unload the things into the trunk.
Du Fei wanted to get in the car, but Zhu Ting held him back: "I want to go shopping and let's not go back yet."
Du Fei naturally wouldn't hold back and asked the driver to send the things back first. The two of them came out of the supermarket and walked north along the road into Nancheng.
Compared with East and West City, Nancheng used to be a civilian area, and the houses were relatively dilapidated.
However, the biggest change in the past few years has been in Nancheng. In addition, a new urban area is planned to the south of Nancheng to be connected to Nancheng. As a result, many places here have demolished the original dilapidated houses and built new buildings.
The streets and alleys have also been widened a lot.
Zhu Ting held Du Fei's arm on the sidewalk. The two of them were busy working. It had been a long time since they had walked aimlessly on the road together.
When I first started dating, I didn't feel tired even walking back to the compound after leaving the zoo.
It just snowed in Beijing a few days ago. Under the trees on the roadside, the snow piles were so high. Unfortunately, there was a layer of ash and it was no longer clean.
In this era, people mainly burned stoves for heating, and the north was generally not clean.
No matter what it is, as long as it is left outside for a long time, a layer of soot will surely fall on it.
"Still... what are you thinking about?" Zhu Ting noticed that Du Fei was distracted while walking and staring at the trees on the roadside. She couldn't help but pout, and blurted out, "I still miss your sister Qin", but the words came to her lips again.
Swallowed it back.
Zhu Ting is very smart. Such slanderous remarks, whether true or joking, are not acceptable.
The two of them finally went out together, so don't make them both unhappy just because of a meaningless word.
Du Fei came back to his senses: "Uh~ I think when the whole capital gets centralized heating and there is no need to burn briquette stoves, the snow will be clean."
Zhu Ting didn't expect Du Fei to be thinking about this, and said angrily: "Virtue, you are concerned about the country and the people."
Du Fei chuckled and said nothing, "By the way, I called Chu Cheng yesterday and told him that his brother and sister-in-law would be back tomorrow and planned to have us get together."
When Zhu Ting heard this, she couldn't help but feel emotional: "It has been more than ten years since Sister Huifang got married last time."
Chu Ming has developed well in Guangdong Province in recent years, and is only half a level behind Zhu Wei among his peers. However, Chu Ming is younger and has been a top leader, so his resume is quite strong.
But going one step further, the resources Chu Ming can obtain will definitely be incomparable to Zhu Wei.
Chu Hongjun semi-retired last year. His qualifications and age are not enough to support him to take another step forward.
Moreover, the current situation is delicate. As Dad Zhu’s position becomes more stable, he will inevitably have to give up some of his interests. It is impossible for one family to take all the good things.
As compensation, Chu Ming's position must be moved.
This is also the last help Chu Hongjun can provide his eldest son.
In the future, it depends on Chu Ming whether he will take advantage of the situation or stay stuck.
Chu Ming chose to come back during the Chinese New Year and asked his younger brother to contact Du Fei to get together, thinking he had some ideas.
