Chapter 437 Lao Mo and the Near East

 Du Fei got on his car and left the courtyard, with the figure of Liu Guangfu just now appearing in his mind.

He was limping, but despite his young age, he was inexplicably a little more vicissitudes of life.

As he thought about it, Du Fei couldn't help but feel a little lucky that he hadn't traveled through time to Liu Haizhong's house.

Otherwise, you have to prepare two packs of rat medicine~

As Du Fei thought about it, he couldn't help but speed up the bicycle pedaling.

Just after 12 noon, we arrived outside the door of the government compound where Zhu Ting's home is located.

Du Fei raised his hand and looked at his watch.

The time he and Zhu Ting agreed on was half past twelve, and they would meet here.

There are still more than ten minutes.

Du Fei was just about to find a place to wait for a while when he saw a tall and beautiful figure walking out from under the street tree in the courtyard. .??.

Zhu Ting's dress today was completely different from how she usually dressed at work, so much so that Du Fei almost didn't recognize her at first glance.

The first thing is her hairstyle. She neither combed her hair in a ponytail nor braided her hair. Instead, she had a big bun on the top of her head just like Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu went to the street office to see Du Fei for the second time, and she was quite glamorous.

And this time, Zhu Ting specially got the same hairstyle, which was not without the meaning of competing for beauty.

She was wearing a light brown woolen coat with lotus leaf collar, which was quite trendy and beautiful in this era.

On her feet she wore a pair of black high heels that reached her ankles.

Since her last trip to Quanjude, Zhu Ting has rarely worn high heels, and today is an exception.

Because it was Sunday, there were many people coming in and out of the courtyard.

And Zhu Ting, no matter her status, background or academic appearance, can be regarded as a "princess" level figure in the courtyard.

Naturally, it attracted a lot of people's attention.

However, this kind of attention was just a glance or two, and no one stopped because of it.

Du Fei pushed the car up to meet her and said with a smile, "Sister Ting, you are so beautiful today!"

Zhu Ting blushed. She rarely heard such straightforward compliments.

Du Fei didn't stretch his hips today. He was already energetic. He was wearing a light blue tunic suit and standing next to Zhu Ting. He looked like a golden boy.

The only thing that seems a bit out of place is Du Fei's broken bicycle.

Based on the principle of ‘as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed’.

Du Fei got on Zhu Ting and rode this broken bicycle with the momentum of an open-top Ferrari.

At this time, at Zhu Ting's house.

Zhu's father and mother have already finished their lunch.

Dad Zhu habitually did not leave the table. He picked up the newspaper on the side and read it, while asking, "Xiaoting is gone?"

Zhu Ma just came back from outside.

Their small building is located at the back of the compound.

When Zhu Ting went out just now, Zhu's mother kept watching her go away and didn't come back until she was out of sight.

Hearing Zhu's father's question, Zhu's mother said "hmm", sat on the opposite side, and sighed, "You said this girl..."

Dad Zhu took off his glasses, raised his head and said, "Don't worry, how old is Xiaoting? If you were as old as her, our boss would be gone."

Zhu's mother rolled her eyes and said angrily, "How can it be the same? You old thing, is Xiaoting your biological daughter?"

Dad Zhu laughed and said, "Okay~Okay~It's no different. Xiaoting is already an adult. We should trust her judgment and choice."

Zhu Ma curled her lips and said, "That silly girl has a shitty judgment."

Dad Zhu thought for a while and said, "In the evening, the boy will send Xiaoting back. Let him come in and let me take a look."

Zhu’s mother hesitated and said, “There will be no meeting tonight.
Already?"

Dad Zhu rubbed his temples and said, "Don't open it. It's just the same thing here and there. The old man went south. What can these people in Beijing do?"

Zhu Ma reminded, "You can't take it lightly, those people are so courageous! Sister Wang and Xiaoting almost got themselves into trouble last time."

Dad Zhu nodded calmly, "It's okay. It was decided yesterday that Lao Xiao was transferred to Jinan."

Zhu's mother's eyes widened and she said in surprise, "You can hand over the soldiers here as soon as you say so!"

Dad Zhu glanced at it and said, "What else? If we take a step back, the sky will be brighter, and we won't lose at all."

Zhu's mother reacted, "If Lao Xiao goes to Shandong, can he be promoted to the first level?"

Dad Zhu nodded.

Zhu's mother breathed a sigh of relief and tacitly agreed not to ask any more questions. Then she added, "Speaking of which, Lao Xiao's daughter went to Guangdong with Chu Ming a while ago, and she listened to the idea given by Du Fei. She didn't know this stinky thing.

What kind of ecstasy soup can this boy make? Xiaoting was fooled around by him, and even Chu Ming and the others would rather believe him."

Dad Zhu was also a little surprised, "Oh? There's also this matter~ Then I want to have a good meeting with him today."

On the other side, Du Fei carried Zhu Ting and sneezed for no reason.

Zhu Ting sat sideways at the back, holding Du Fei's waist with both hands.

At first, she supported her gently as a token of support, but after a while, she left Fuxing Road and turned north to walk.

Zhu Ting had to hold on to Du Fei due to the turbulence, but later she simply hugged him.

Du Fei rubbed his nose. Logically speaking, with his current physical condition, he shouldn't catch a cold!

Fortunately, I only sneezed and had no other symptoms.

Soon they arrived at the exhibition hall.

Bypassing the huge square, the Moscow Restaurant is on the west side of the exhibition hall.

After finding a place to park the car, the two of them walked into the exhibition hall.

Zhu Ting's high heels stepped on the marble steps, making a crisp sound of "gadagada".

Walking inside, Zhu Ting was familiar with the road. While introducing Du Fei, she naturally took Du Fei's arm.

Du Fei could clearly feel that Zhu Ting was a little stiff at the first moment.

Of course Du Fei accepted it happily, and patted the back of Zhu Ting's arm, which earned him a blank stare.

Walking further inside, you arrive at the door of the Moscow Restaurant. After passing through the wooden revolving door, the inside is unusually spacious.

It is decorated in a Russian style with very large ceilings, so it feels a bit empty as soon as you enter.

Below is a very neatly arranged table.

At first, the main customers here were "Big Brother" diplomats and China aid experts.

But since Expert Sulian withdrew, fewer and fewer blond and blue-eyed foreigners have come here.

Most of them are the children of cadres from well-off families.

Because it was Sunday, there were probably more people than usual, but it wasn't too busy inside.

Firstly, because the restaurant is large enough, and secondly, not many people in this era can afford to eat ‘Lao Mo’.

Zhu Ting came in and took Du Fei to find a seat to sit down.

A waiter came immediately.

Although the original waiters Su Lian have been removed, Lao Mo's service level has not been reduced because he often receives state guests, and there will be no such aggressive plot of "beating customers without reason".

Du Fei didn’t know much about Russian food, but when Zhu Ting

I didn’t pretend to understand before, so I simply left everything to Zhu Ting.

Zhu Ting was not polite. She ordered the dishes very familiarly, returned the menu to the waiter, and asked Du Fei with a smile, "Do you like Western food?"

Du Fei heard that Zhu Ting was not simply asking him about Western food, but that she had an implicit opinion on foreign countries.

In this era, Chinese people have complicated and stereotyped impressions of foreign countries.

There is both the rejection and hatred brought about by a century of humiliation in modern times, and there is also the lingering nostalgia and regret for the big brother in the north.

Du Fei thought about it and said with a smile, "Speaking of Western food, Russian food is not strictly speaking Western food."

Zhu Ting is slightly different.

But at this moment, a chuckle suddenly came from the side, "Hey~ This is the first time I heard that Russian food is not considered Western food." ??

Du Fei followed the sound and took a look.

I saw a man and a woman walking from the side. The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, was polite, and wore glasses. He met Du Fei's eyes and smiled slightly, a little apologetically.

The woman has a pair of slender eyebrows and a pair of pink and phoenix eyes. She is quite beautiful, and she is somewhat connected to Zhu Ting. The words she said that were a bit sinister just now were those she said.

Zhu Ting looked back, stood up and said, "Second sister, second brother-in-law, why are you here?"

Then he introduced to Du Fei, "This is my second sister Zhu Li from my third uncle's family, and my second brother-in-law Liu Jingwen, who works at the city party school."

Du Fei also stood up and shook hands with Liu Jingwen, introducing himself, "Du Fei, for the time being, is Sister Ting's revolutionary comrade."

Zhu Li was quite sharp-tongued, and she didn't like Du Fei, so she interrupted, "What do you mean by temporary calculation?"

Du Fei said calmly, "It's still in the inspection period. I don't have the final say whether it's qualified or not."

Zhu Ting blushed. She paused deliberately and asked Du Fei to introduce herself, but she was a little unsure about how to position her relationship with Du Fei.

Let’s just say they are partners, the relationship between the two of them really hasn’t reached that point yet.

Let’s just say they are just ordinary colleagues~ There are no ordinary colleagues who go out alone for dinner on Sundays!

Julie snorted, and simply pulled her husband to cook it here. She said with an unkind expression, "Duffy, right? Don't be so glib. I'm asking you why Russian food is not considered Western food. I thought our family was small."

Ting is young, so she just talks nonsense and deceives people casually, right~"

Later, Zhu Li gradually realized that Du Fei seemed to be younger than Zhu Ting.

Zhu Ting, who was said to be "still young", covered her forehead with embarrassment and felt like cancer.

Liu Jingwen on the side looked obviously apologetic, but he obviously couldn't control his wife and could only stand by and watch.

Du Fei took his time and looked at Julie with a smile.

Although Zhu Ting's second sister doesn't speak very well, she doesn't come off as too annoying.

Du Fei calmly sat back and said, "Sister Ting, how about we come together?"

Zhu Ting rolled her eyes at Zhu Li and said to herself, I finally went out on a date, but you still have to come over and cause trouble.

Zhu Li glared and understood Zhu Ting's thoughts, and said angrily, "Damn girl, I'm not doing it for your own good!"

Zhu Ting had no choice but to talk to her and called the waiter again.

After ordering the dishes for the second time, Zhu Li still did not forget to point the finger at Du Fei and said angrily, "Don't think that just changing the subject will be the end of the matter. If you don't say Ziwu Maoyou today, I will force you to know.

The women of our Lao Zhu family are not easy to mess with!"

Du Fei looked at Liu Jingwen sitting next to him with some sympathy.

This made Liu Jingwen push his eyes in embarrassment.
mirror.

Zhu Ting was beside her, calling out in a long voice, "Second sister~~~"

Du Fei had some time to rest and looked at Zhu Ting, "Since the second sister insists on asking for advice, it's okay for me to talk."

Zhu Li said "hum" and wanted to say who is your second sister, but Zhu Ting pinched her thigh from below.

Du Fei said, "Since we are talking about Western food, we must first clarify what Western food is."

Julie curled her lips and said, "Needless to say, Western food is the food of Western countries~"

Du Fei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Julie to actually come to help him, and said with a smile, "Second sister is right, then whether Russian food is considered Western food depends on whether Russia is considered a Western country... Modern World Geography

, Westerners use themselves as the basis to divide the Eurasian continent into four parts. The first part is themselves; the second part is the Far East, which is China; the third part is the Middle East, which is the Arab region; the fourth part is the Near East, including

The Balkans, Poland, Ukraine... and Russia..."

At this point, Du Fei paused with a half-smile, "Obviously, Russia is an oriental country, and Russian food is certainly not Western food."

Julie was stunned for a moment. She was not ignorant.

Although I didn't go to college, I graduated from a technical secondary school and read a lot of books.

She also knew about the Far East and the Middle East, and even often heard about it on the radio.

But what the hell is ‘Near East’?

Looking at the words, it seems reasonable to have ‘far’, ‘middle’, and ‘near’, but why haven’t I heard of it?

The most important thing is that the last shovel of soil to bury herself was filled in by herself!

It was her own words that "Western food is food from Western countries" that allowed Du Fei to logically prove that Russian food is not Western food.

At this moment, Liu Jingwen, who was sitting aside and had been silent, finally said, "Brother Du, do you mind if I call you this?"

Du Fei said, "Brother Liu, you are so polite, I don't get what I ask for."

Liu Jingwen smiled and said, "Brother Du, this is a sophistry of changing concepts. The West itself is a constantly changing concept. The concept of the Near East is also quite old. After World War I, it was basically no longer used and would only appear in some civilizations.

In the discussion of history, it is also open to question whether the concept of the Near East includes Russia."

Du Fei was not unhappy because of Liu Jingwen's rebuttal.

From these few sentences alone, it can be seen that Liu Jingwen is quite knowledgeable.

Moreover, he spoke in a leisurely manner, which made Du Fei have a good impression of him. He smiled and said, "It's just a joke. Don't take it seriously."

Just at this moment, the waiter also started to serve the food.

Then Du Fei and Liu Jingwen chatted about other topics, ranging from classical literature to historical allusions, and the topics were all kinds of, but no one dropped their words.

Sitting across from each other, sisters Zhu Ting and Zhu Li became supporting roles.

Especially Julie, she no longer dared to underestimate Du Fei.

Despite her aggressive appearance, she actually admires her husband very much in her heart.

I think their old Liu is the most knowledgeable!

Now Liu Jingwen and Du Fei are talking happily, which at least shows that Du Fei's knowledge and accomplishments are not much different.

This made Julie very embarrassed.

I was too reckless today and disturbed Zhu Ting's date.

Thinking of this, she simply picked up a glass of vodka and said, "Xiao Du, it was my fault earlier. I thought you were a talker. I'd like to toast you and make amends for you. I'll do you a favor with Xiaoting in the future."

After saying that, I filled a cup of vodka, which was enough for one or two ounces, and it was all gone in one gulp!
