The next day, my mother Sun Mei took her two sisters to the clothing store in the town to buy more than a dozen sets of clothes, if it wasn't for Niu Qiuxiang's reminder, Sun Mei would have wanted to buy a few more.

In the afternoon, the second sister Niu Xiaxiang rushed back from the county seat, and the whole family had a reunion dinner in the evening. On New Year's Day, a family of six, plus Fang Dongping, came to the dock early and rushed to Qingjiang first after getting on the boat.

The three sisters had a rare opportunity to get together, and they chatted along the way, and couldn't help but laugh when they were happy.

Some of the young men on the boat were fascinated by Niu Xiaoqiang's three beautiful sisters, if it weren't for Niu Dazhuang blowing his beard and glaring on the side, it is estimated that they would all be cheeky to come forward and talk.

Niu Dazhuang and Sun Mei's hearts are not very good, but they are also not good at reprimanding the three daughters. So he could only sit aside and talk to Fang Dongping. Fortunately, Niu Xiaoqiang interjected from time to time, and after his enlightenment, his parents' mood improved a lot.

After the group arrived at Qingjiang, they did not delay and directly changed to a passenger ferry to the provincial capital. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the passenger ship docked at the passenger terminal in the provincial capital.

Niu Xiaoqiang did not explain that Li Yu came to receive him, he took everyone directly to the guest house of the Provincial Light Chemical Department.

He discussed with Fan Demin on the phone, and the reception in the provincial capital would be arranged by Fan Demin.

Fan Demin was busy with official business and did not have time to come to receive him in person. He explained to Wei Cuihong and asked Wei Cuihong to be in charge of the reception.

When Niu Xiaoqiang and his party arrived at the guest house, it was already half past five. Although Wei Cuihong had reached the point of getting off work, she was still waiting at the door.

Seeing Niu Xiaoqiang and Fang Dongping appear, Wei Cuihong hurriedly trotted over: "You guys are here, I have prepared the room for you, so I'll take you over." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang introduced Wei Cuihong's identity to his family, and everyone walked into the guest house together after a few words of greeting.

Wei Cuihong arranged the best guest rooms for Niu Xiaoqiang and his entourage, and arranged a total of four rooms. The eldest sister and her mother live in one room, the second sister and the third sister live in one room, Niu Xiaoqiang and her father live in one room, and Fang Dongping lives alone.

After allocating the guest room, Wei Cuihong handed Niu Xiaoqiang more than 20 meal tickets. These meal tickets are specially printed by the Provincial Department of Light Chemistry, and you can go to the canteen of the guest house to eat with them.

Wei Cuihong is really interesting, all the meal tickets she gave are large denominations, in addition to the supply tickets for soda and liquor, which are worth no less than a hundred yuan.

Niu Xiaoqiang thanked Wei Cuihong, and then offered to go to dinner with Wei Cuihong. Wei Cuihong said that there was something at home and did not go with her.

Niu Xiaoqiang was not reluctant, and took everyone to have a full meal in the canteen of the guest house. The three sisters praised others vigorously during the meal, and they actually recognized such a big figure as Fan Demin.

Niu Xiaoqiang saw that his father was drinking alone, and he was not too proud, so he sent his three sisters away with a few modest words. Then he took the initiative to get himself a glass of liquor, and accompanied his father to drink with Fang Dongping to relieve his boredom.

Except for Niu Xiaoqiang and Niu Xiaxiang, the others in the family rarely had the opportunity to go out, so after dinner, the third sister Niu Qiuxiang couldn't bear it and proposed to go out for a walk.

The second sister, Niu Xiaxiang, was the first to agree. She is the most knowledgeable of the three sisters, and she wants to take this opportunity to show off her knowledge.

Niu Xiaoqiang saw that his parents were a little depressed, and felt that going out for a walk could also help his parents relax, so the second one agreed.

Under his tuding, his parents and eldest sister also nodded. As for Fang Dongping, he was a little older, and he was a little tired after a tiring journey, so he went back to his room to rest.

The six of them walked along the street, commenting on the bustling night scene as they went. I don't know how many times more prosperous the provincial capital is than Aoshan Town, although there are not as many high-rise buildings as there are in Zhouguang, but I can also see that Sun Mei's mother and daughter, who came here for the first time, are dizzying.

Niu Dazhuang once came to the provincial capital, and that was several years ago. Returning to the provincial capital at this moment, Niu Dazhuang couldn't help but sigh: "The changes here are a bit big, I remember the last time I came here, there were not so many cars, and after a few years, the number of cars has increased a lot." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang said with a smile: "In recent years, the domestic economy has made some progress, but it is still in a relatively primitive stage. ”

Niu Dazhuang was confused when he heard it: "What is the reshuffle?"

"I'm talking about changes in domestic enterprises, not surprisingly, in recent years, the sky will change, many enterprises with bad benefits will disappear in the long river of history, only those who dare to be the first, good at grasping the opportunity of the enterprise can keep up with the pulse of the times, get a new life. ”

Niu Dazhuang glanced at Niu Xiaoqiang a little dissatisfied: "You know that my cultural level is not high, why are you so literate when you speak? Isn't this stumbling against me?"

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed: "Dad, you can even understand "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", where is the cultural level low? Even if you want to be modest, you are not as modest, right?"

Although Niu Dazhuang has not studied much, he pursues self-motivation and usually learns some literature by himself in his spare time. , the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the bedside has been read by him many times, and he is also a relatively literate person among the older generations in Niujia Village.

Listening to his son's praise, a smug smile immediately appeared on Niu Dazhuang's face: "People, it's better to be modest, it's okay to hold your tail all day long." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang immediately gave a thumbs up, and made another fart at his father, and slapped Niu Dazhuang, who loves face, into an extremely comfortable mood.

Niu Xiaxiang has been working as a guide for her sisters and mother, explaining the novelties in the city to the three of them. When everyone passed by a small alley, Niu Chunxiang, who had just learned to read, pointed to a signboard in the box and asked, "Second brother, what is written on that signboard?"

"Eldest sister, haven't I told you many times, don't call me dick outside, I think what's the matter when I hear it, that signboard is written with the words song and dance hall, it should be ...... It's supposed to be a place to sing and dance, right?"

Niu Xiaxiang finally encountered a place that she didn't understand, and she didn't have the confidence to speak.

Niu Qiuxiang turned her head and asked, "Little brother, you often go out to run errands and have seen a lot of the world, so it's up to you to explain the song and dance hall to us." ”

Cabaret is not a good place, at least in the eyes of many people today, it is a place where only serious people go.

Niu Xiaoqiang also has this concept, and he has experienced it firsthand. The experience of going to the dance hall was very memorable to him, and if he hadn't been strict with himself, he probably would have made a mistake that night.
