Chapter 2606 People always change
Department 9, Communications Room.
Yang Xiaotao hung up the phone but didn't rush out.
He sat in the chair and pondered for a moment, then finally smiled.
What you know will soon be known by your superiors.
If that’s the case, why should he worry about it?
Just report the truth!
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao opened the door and came out.
I have to tell Mr. Chen about this. Of course, the best option is to report the situation to Mr. Peng.
"Big brother!"
As soon as he came out, Alfate came forward with a look of hope on his face!
"Nothing, just talked about the situation in Persia and wanted to increase the purchase power!"
Yang Xiaotao patted Alfat's shoulder and didn't respond.
He knew that Alfat couldn't be treated as a child, and saying those irrelevant words would only make him worry.
On the contrary, if you tell the truth, the other party will believe it.
"Let's go back and eat zongzi!"
Yang Xiaotao called out and walked out. Alfat didn't take it seriously and just jumped behind him.
"You go downstairs with Lao Yu and wait. I'm going to the office to get something."
Yang Xiaotao spoke casually and waved to Yu Zecheng.
Yu Zecheng glanced at Yang Xiaotao, then put away the newspaper and came to Alfat.
The two had met in the courtyard before, so they didn't feel strange at this time.
The two of them left the office building along the corridor, and Yang Xiaotao went into the room and picked up the phone.
After waiting for a while, the call was connected.
However, the person who answered the phone was not Mr. Chen, but Secretary Guo.
"Director Yang, Mr. Chen is in a meeting right now. You can tell me if you have anything to say."
Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment and said, "I just talked to Mosidov in Persia. The situation there is a bit tense. They want to buy our planes and also want us to help train a group of pilots!"
"I just want to give Mr. Chen a heads up. We still need to discuss the details later!"
Yang Xiaotao explained it briefly, and Secretary Guo naturally understood what Yang Xiaotao meant. Even if Yang Xiaotao didn't say it, they would know it.
But since Yang Xiaotao chose to say it, it represents his intention.
But these are not things that secretaries should interfere with.
They just need to do their job well.
"Okay, Minister Yang, I will tell Elder Chen about this."
"We will inform you as soon as there is news!"
"Okay, that's trouble!"
After the two hung up the phone, Yang Xiaotao left the office and prepared to go home.
In the jeep, Yang Xiaotao was driving, Alfat was sitting in the passenger seat, and Yu Zecheng was sitting in the back seat.
"Brother Wang, is today Duanwu's birthday?"
Alfat thought of something and Yang Xiaotao nodded.
"Correct!"
"But wasn't it May last year? Why is it June this year?"
Yang Xiaotao smiled and then explained the difference between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar.
"Oh, this is so amazing, you actually celebrate two festivals!"
"awesome!"
When Alfat understood, he immediately became happy.
Yang Xiaotao talked about the lunar calendar, farming seasons and related agricultural activities, which inspired another wave of emotion.
"Brother, your ancestors are so amazing."
"The twenty-four solar terms are such an amazing invention."
The car moved forward quickly, and the closer we got to Nanluoguxiang, the stronger the smell of rice dumplings in the air became.
"This smell is just like tea leaves."
Alfat leaned against the window, breathing deeply, his eyes sweeping over the receding streets and the alleys filled with the smell of fireworks.
"Really? I really didn't notice it!"
"But now that you put it that way, it does sound a bit like that."
Yang Xiaotao slowed down as more people appeared on the street.
"Brother, are those rice dumplings leaves? Why are they placed on the roof?"
Yang Xiaotao glanced sideways and said casually, "Those are the leaves from the rice dumplings that have been eaten. They are washed and placed on the roof to dry!"
"Drying? Why?"
“I’ll continue using it next year!”
Yang Xiaotao said this casually, but Alfate was puzzled and asked, "Is this a secret recipe?"
“Is it better to wrap it in this kind of leaves?”
Yang Xiaotao didn't know what to say after hearing this, and finally just shook his head, "No!"
"Ah? Why is that?"
Alfate was confused. Seeing that Yang Xiaotao didn't explain, Yu Zecheng behind him said, "Because this way we can continue to use it next year without spending any more money!"
"what!"
Alfat stopped talking, as if this had touched upon his blind spot in knowledge.
The car stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the three got out and walked towards the courtyard.
Before they got close to the gate, Wangcai led Hei Nuo out.
"Prosperous wealth!"
Alfate was very interested in this big dog, so even though the name he called out had a bit of an accent, it was very clear.
He had once seen a big cat among the camels.
But it is still a little small compared to Wangcai in front of him.
Moreover, Wangcai looks more powerful and more humane.
Reaching out and stroking Wangcai's soft hair, Alphate has made up his mind that next time Wangcai has offspring, he must have one.
"Dad! Uncle Yu!"
Duanwu's voice was heard from the door, followed by a group of children.
Duanwu saw the three people, then ran to Alfate, his face full of joy, "Uncle!"
Seeing Duanwu, Alpha hurried over.
This nephew who looks somewhat honest and simple actually has similar interests to him!
The two of them got together and quickly ran into the yard.
When I entered the courtyard, I saw Alfat standing next to Ran Qiuye with a respectful look on his face.
Ran Qiuye greeted with a smile. During this period, Alfat had also learned a lot of Chinese, so they could communicate basically and understand the general meaning.
"dad!"
Miaomiao was holding Dudu in her arms, swinging him from time to time.
The ten-year-old girl is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
"Let's go play in the yard!"
Yang Xiaotao touched the red string on Miaomiao's head, picked up Dudu, and took out two yuan. "Take your brothers and sisters to buy some delicious food, and come back for dinner later."
Miaomiao took the money and narrowed her eyes, "Dad, there are still industrial coupons at home. I'll go buy you some wine."
As he said that, he ran into the house, and then ran out again.
Yang Xiaotao looked at it and shook his head.
"The little girl saves the remaining money every time."
"You, I don't know what good things you did in your previous life to be so blessed."
The old Taoist was talking leisurely on the side, while the grandfather was smiling with satisfaction on the side.
Yang Xiaotao stuffed the boy who was pulling out his clothes from his arms and trying to find his elder sister into the cart, then walked aside and sat down.
"Needless to say, it must have saved the galaxy."
Seeing Yang Xiaotao being so shameless, the old Taoist was speechless.
In terms of thickness of skin, he felt that he was very thick-skinned, but compared with Yang Xiaotao, he was still a level behind.
The master was holding a chess piece at the side. His eyes lit up and he pressed it in the middle. Then he shouted, "Checkmate."
The old Taoist came back to his senses, his eyes filled with disbelief.
When I turned around, how come he was already a general? While I was talking, Yu Zecheng came over, followed by Cuiping and her son.
"Try it. You must have never eaten the rice dumplings made by Cuiping in our family."
Yu Zecheng placed a bundle of triangular shaped rice dumplings on the table and then sat down next to Yang Xiaotao.
Cuiping walked into the house carrying the child.
Hearing Yu Zecheng say this, Yang Xiaotao glanced at the old Taoist priest, and finally leaned aside, "Old Yu, this is specially prepared for you by Cuiping, we won't eat it."
Yu Zecheng said generously, "It's okay, I have more at home, please don't be polite."
The old Taoist priest at the side heard this and whispered, "We have already tasted it last night. You should take it back and eat it yourself."
"What? You've all eaten."
Yu Zecheng's face instantly turned red.
"Yes, these rice dumplings are cooked in advance. How can they be made on the Dragon Boat Festival? Take them home and try them."
Yang Xiaotao was explaining on the side, and Yu Zecheng instinctively felt that there was something going on.
Staring at the bag of triangular rice dumplings on the table, Yu Zecheng slowly turned his head and watched Cuiping talking to the people in the yard. Suddenly, a picture emerged in his mind.
A bowl of braised pork
Cough
"It seems that Alfate went out with Duanwu. I'll go check it out."
After saying that, Yu Zecheng was about to stand up, but was stopped by Yang Xiaotao, "Don't worry, Wangcai is with us, nothing will happen."
"Hurry up and take the rice dumplings home to eat for yourself."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he picked up the rice dumpling and handed it to Yu Zecheng.
"No, that won't work. This is for you. There's no reason to take back something that has been given away."
"Just keep it for yourself and eat it."
Seeing Taoist priest Yang Xiaotao's look, Yu Zecheng didn't dare to take him home.
If you take it back, you will be the one who suffers.
"No, no, no, we appreciate your kindness, but you should take this thing back."
"What are you talking about? Given our friendship, I wonder if I can't give you something."
"Lao Yu, our friendship doesn't need these mundane things."
The two of them were chatting at the table, and the old Taoist master and Mr. Ye were watching with smiles on their faces.
Ran Qiuye heated up the food and went out to call people to eat.
Seeing the two still arguing, Cuiping walked over curiously with the child in her arms.
Seeing this, the two of them stopped talking immediately.
At this time, we can't both sides suffer losses.
After a while, a group of children, more than a dozen big and small, ran in from outside the yard.
Miaomiao was walking in front, holding a bottle of white wine in her hand, and Duanwu was following behind her, holding a roast duck in his hand.
Behind him, Alfat was holding two roast ducks in his hands.
Well, you can tell what's going on at a glance.
"Dad, my uncle insisted on buying it. I told him we already had one at home, but he just wouldn't listen."
Miaomiao walked up to him and started complaining.
She had originally used her own savings to buy wine for her father, but she met someone richer than her and he didn't treat her money as if it were real.
I feel so angry.
Yang Xiaotao smiled and took the bottle. "This wine is not cheap. It's Erguotou. Your grandfather likes it the most."
The master laughed and said, "Quick, let me see it, let me smell it first."
After hearing this, Miaomiao smiled and leaned close to her grandfather.
"Why did you buy so much?"
Yang Xiaotao came to Alfat and took the roast duck.
Alfate looked at Miaomiao's little eyes, with a little embarrassment on his face. He didn't dare to look at Miaomiao, but just smiled and said, "No, isn't it Dragon Boat Festival's birthday?"
"I'll buy it. I don't need a ticket. I just need to spend the money."
"The remaining tickets can be used at other times."
He is an international student and there are no restrictions on what he can buy.
This is also the current rule.
"Come on, let's go inside and eat."
"That's good. We have both wine and snacks."
"If I remember correctly, you are seventeen this year?"
Yang Xiaotao invited everyone into the house and asked Alfat.
"Yes, this year it happens to be seventeen."
Alfat didn't understand and looked at Miaomiao beside him.
If I remember correctly, she should be ten years old.
"In our place, seventeen is eighteen in lunar age, which means you are an adult and can sit at the table."
Yang Xiaotao didn't notice Alfate's expression, he just put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Come on, I'll let you taste it today. The wine my daughter bought is not something that ordinary people can drink."
Then he walked into the house.
Miao Miao behind him was happy at first, then curled her lips and snorted, "Why should we give him a drink?"
“I don’t know how to save money at all.”
"Shameful waste!"
After saying that, he helped the grandfather into the house!
"You must be rich. You bought so many roast ducks. Can you finish them all?"
"And this foreigner, is he blind? What food does the Yang family need?"
Qin Jingru took a piece of steamed bun and bit it hard, and stood at the door and talked to Qin Huairu about the sour taste in her mouth.
But this foreigner is really rich.
Every time he comes, he buys a lot of things, and this time he bought three roast ducks.
So damn generous.
It’s the Dragon Boat Festival, but neither family makes rice dumplings.
Really, I don't have the time.
Hearing her cousin's voice, Qin Huairu looked outside and wanted to ignore it, but how could she block out the voice outside?
I am full of envy in my heart.
If she had the money, she would buy a roast duck and show it to everyone in the courtyard.
Even if it’s rice dumplings, I’d wrap a pot of them, and then boil some chicken and duck eggs for the people in the yard to see.
Unfortunately, she has no money.
As for the foreigner, she had some thoughts about him at first.
Unfortunately, before she could take any action, she saw Yu Zecheng following her and realized that this was not someone she could serve.
From then on, she didn't dare to approach this foreign boy when she saw him.
"Okay, everyone should clean up the snow in front of their own door and not worry about the frost on other people's roofs!"
"They live their lives, and so do we. It's enough as long as we don't starve to death!"
Qin Huairu said calmly, "I just want to tell you something."
Qin Jingru was still complaining, but Qin Huairu interrupted her and said, "I heard that the village was going to repair the road when I returned this time, so I did it while I was not busy."
"The villagers said that if we help with the work this time, we will not only get work points, but also receive food."
"The village is registering now. Both of us are registered in the village. If we go back, we will sign up quickly."
After Qin Huairu finished speaking, Qin Jingru immediately turned around and said, "You can go back if you want. I'm not going."
"We finally got out, just to leave the land."
"What's the point of going back now? Just curry favor with them."
"I can't afford to lose that person anyway."
Qin Huairu continued to lower her head, and naturally she didn't want to go back.
All the villagers know is how well they live in the city, how beautiful and comfortable they are.
But who knows how difficult her life is now?
"Forget it, I'll go back and take a look."
"No matter what, this is also a contribution to the village. We can't be ungrateful."
Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu would say this. Qin Jingru slowly turned her head and stared at Qin Huairu. After a long while, she said, "Sister, you have changed."
Qin Huairu shuddered, then lowered her head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Yes, the unchanging ones are wood and stone."
"People always change."
