Chapter 48 Awkward blind date

"Dad, why did you buy so many vegetables again?" In order to hide her gaffe, Hua Xiaorui asked without words.

"Oh, there's still a guest here today," Hua Zizi replied with a smile.

"Who?"

"Your aunt is a young man from a village, and she has just come to work in the town, because his family is having a good time with your aunt's house, and your aunt called us and asked us to call him to come to the house for the holidays. Look at him by the way. ”

"By the way, look at him? What do you mean? Hua Xiaorui ran out with a vegetable spoon.

"Oh, this, it's not interesting, just take a look" Hua Zizi accidentally said that he leaked his mouth, especially in front of Li Yi, he was very embarrassed and scratched his scalp.

Cai Xueqin smiled: "Ah, what's so embarrassing, anyway, just take a look, I haven't done anything, besides, Secretary Li has a girlfriend, and he can't have that relationship with our little flower, so what are you afraid of?" ”

Li Yi also understood now, he dared to love the family and arranged a blind date today, he hurriedly got up to say goodbye, Cai Xueqin said with a smile: "Secretary Li, you are leaving now, but you will be stingy, you won't be really angry, right?" ”

Li Yi had no choice but to sit down and glance at Hua Xiaorui.

Hua Xiaorui was angry and snorted coldly: "You guys come to cook, I have a headache and need to rest."

Hua Zizi smiled: "I almost forgot, there is still a chicken to kill, Secretary Li, you sit." Xiaohua, come over to accompany Secretary Li. I'll take care of the cooking. ”

Cai Xueqin saw that the atmosphere was not right, and also got up and said, "I'll go and help, you young people can chat." ”

Hua Zizi grabbed a chicken, pulled the hair on its neck, patted the fat neck hard, and slashed it with a knife, and the bright red chicken blood shot straight into the bowl with salt water.

Hua Xiaorui curled her mouth, sat down beside Li Yi, and said, "Secretary Li, you eat melon seeds, don't be like their countrymen." ”

Li Yi smiled: "I think my uncle and aunt are very real, your family has laughter and trouble, and they are very interesting in life." ”

"Really? You're not angry, are you? Hua Xiaorui looked at him worriedly.

"Fool" Li Yi smiled: "Go and help your mother choose vegetables, wait for your partner to come, and you won't be able to cook for a long time"

Hua Xiaorui said: "I'm not allowed to say that, I don't want any object" got up and went over to help Cai Xueqin choose vegetables, Cai Xueqin asked in a low voice: "Xiaohua, what is the relationship between you and Secretary Li?" ”

Hua Xiaorui pulled a celery hard, lowered her head and didn't speak.

Cai Xueqin bumped her with her arm: "Hey, stupid? What about you, you really have no fun with that Li Yi? ”

"What do you mean it's not a show, we never started. We're just ordinary colleagues. Hua Xiaorui raised her head and showed an indifferent expression.

Cai Xueqin sighed, and then asked nervously: "Then you didn't suffer, right?" ”

"Suffer? What can I lose? Hua Xiaorui said gloomily.

"Silly boy, ** mean, have you ever been by him? That's it," Cai Xueqin whispered softly to her daughter's ear.

"No" Hua Xiaorui blushed: "Who are you and me?" Secretary Li is not that kind of person. ”

"That's too, people are young, they became secretaries, and they have a good future in the future, what about you, an ugly duckling, where will he look down on you-oh, I didn't mean that you are bad, of course my daughter is beautiful and well-behaved, put it in Lianshui, what kind of people don't look down on? Xiaohua, too good a man, it's not easy to manage, it's better to find a man, it's better to find an honest man. Look at your dad, he dares to go out and spend his heart? I won't kill him," Cai Xueqin said, pouting freely at the flowers.

Hua Xiaorui snorted and said, "You are a crooked and excellent man, but you are a big carrot?" Won't you marry a wife and have children? Typical can't eat grapes say grape sour. ”

Cai Xueqin laughed in a low voice: "Don't believe it, there used to be a very rich man who chased me desperately, I only played with him, and I didn't marry him, and now it proves how correct my vision is, I heard that he has been divorced three times"

Hua Xiaorui said in surprise: "Divorced three times? So why did he get married in the first place? It's really sick, so how do I know what kind of man is honest and can marry? I think that a man like Secretary Li has a strong sense of responsibility and is an official, and he will definitely ask for a wife to the end. It's just that...... Alas, I can't eat grapes, how can I say that grapes are sweet?"

Cai Xueqin patted her daughter's shoulder comfortingly: "Xiaohua, don't believe in fate, I was so blind that my eyes were spent, so many handsome young men didn't like one, but they picked your father, do you know why?" ”

Hua Xiaorui couldn't help but ask seriously: "Why?" I really want to know. ”

"Just because his name is good," Cai Xueqin finished speaking, hahadaxiao.

Hua Xiaorui glanced at Hua Zi and chuckled: "Dad would never have imagined that he would ask for such a good wife just by his name."

The mother and daughter talked and laughed, the atmosphere was harmonious, Hua Xiaorui gradually became cheerful, and there were more laughter.

There was a knock on the door. Cai Xueqin asked Hua Xiaorui to open the door, Hua Xiaorui guessed that the other party was coming, and she refused to go.

Cai Xueqin pushed her, and Hua Xiaorui had to put down the dishes, wiped her hands, and went over to open the door.

There was a young boy standing outside the door, more than a head taller than Hua Xiaorui, very handsome, he smiled when he saw Hua Xiaorui: "Hey hello, you are Director Hua, right?" I'm Tang Jian. ”

Hua Xiaorui knew that the other party was coming, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she was smiling: "Come in and sit down, the food will have to wait." ”

Tang Jian came in a little restrainedly, carrying large and small gift bags and wine in his hands.

Cai Xueqin shouted inside: "Is it Tang Jian?" Come in and sit, Xiaohua, please come in and sit."

Hua Xiaorui let go of her body and invited Tang Jian in, Tang Jian nodded politely, and shouted when she entered the door: "Hello uncle, good aunt." ”

Hua Zizi and Cai Xueqin happily responded and instructed Hua Xiaorui to set a plate and serve melons and fruits.

Tang Jian saw Li Yi sitting and looked at it a few more times. After sitting for a while, seeing that the three members of the Hua family were busy, he got up and said, "Uncle and aunt, I'll sit down and leave, don't be busy, come over and talk, and I'll go back." ”

Cai Xueqin wiped her hands with the hem of her apron, and came over to make him tea: "You can sit here with peace of mind, and then go back after dinner." If it's dark and you can't see it, I'll ask your uncle to send it. ”

Tang Jian said a few polite words, then sat down and said with a smile: "I have to go to work in the afternoon."

Waiting for Hua Xiaorui to set up the candy plate, Cai Xueqin arranged: "Xiaohua, you can sit with the guests in the living room for a while, chat, and the meal will be ready soon." With that, he turned around and went into the kitchen.

Hua Zizi just scalded the chicken with boiling water, and went outside to pull the chicken feathers with the basin.

Hua Xiaorui sat down on Li Yi's left side, smiled and said to Tang Jian, "Please eat fruit." The apple is peeled. ”

“haode。 Hua Xiaorui, do you remember me? Tang Jian looked at Hua Xiaorui and asked.

Hua Xiaorui shook her head: "Have we met?" ”

"You forgot? The last time you went to the countryside, in Dafang Village, you came to my house, my father is the village party secretary, Tang Sanhe. Tang Jian picked up a piece of apple, put it in his mouth, picked up an orange, quickly peeled it, and handed it to Hua Xiaorui: "You can eat it too, this orange is also peeled." ”

Hua Xiaorui didn't take his orange, took one herself, peeled it, and handed it to Li Yi to eat, while laughing: "I remember." Yes, you are the son of Tang Zhishu, I didn't find you so handsome at the time."

"At that time, I had just come back from the army, and I was working in the fields in tank tops and shorts, and of course I wasn't handsome enough. Hehe, when I saw you at the time, I thought you were very good, so I mentioned it to my parents, and my father took it to heart, and when I inquired with someone, it turned out that they were all relatives" Tang Jian heard Hua Xiaorui praise him for being handsome, and his handsome face was slightly hot, but he was also a person who had seen the world, he spoke politely, was very personable, and behaved very chic.

Hua Xiaorui saw that Li Yi didn't pick up her oranges, so she forced them into Li Yi's mouth, Li Yi had to open his mouth to eat, and kissed her little hand by the way.

Hua Xiaorui chuckled and asked Tang Jiandao, "Oh, how old are you?" ”

"I'm twenty-one years old. He joined the army at the age of eighteen and served as a soldier for three years. Tang Jian looked at Hua Xiaorui and Li Yi's intimate behavior, and was a little distracted, didn't he come on a blind date today? Why is there an extra man, why do you have to fight in the ring?

Hua Xiaorui smiled: "Then where do you work now?" ”

Tang Jian said: "I wanted to enter the county party committee's convoy, but I heard that the place required money to buy it, so I gave up, and now with the organizational allocation, I went to the town's public security police station." ”

"Well, this one works well," Hua Xiaorui said with a smile.

When Li Yi heard this, he looked at Tang Jian again, and remembered that this young man was the veteran who had also contributed to the capture of Ni Li on the Lianshui shuttle. Remain silent for the moment and watch his next performance.

"I heard that the new Secretary Li is very young, but he has great ability, I want to learn more from him." Tang Jian didn't notice that Hua Xiaorui's expression was slightly strange when she heard Secretary Li's three words, but instead talked to him about Li Yi.

"Secretary Li, of course, people do big things, their age, it's about the same as you." Hua Xiaorui smiled narrowly, picked up a petal of orange, and stuffed it into Li Yi's mouth.

"Really" Tang Jian became excited: "Then I will also work hard to make progress as soon as possible and catch up with Secretary Li." ”

Hua Xiaorui snorted and laughed: "Do you think that the secretary of the town party committee can be so easy?" In the government department, the water is very deep, so let's learn slowly. ”

Tang Jian had just been discharged from the army, and he thought very highly of himself, a high school veteran, and in that era, he was still a little proud of his capital. His face was full of disapproval, and he said proudly: "Isn't it just the secretary of the town party committee, my ideals are great, if I am not an official, I will be able to make great achievements." ”

Hua Xiaorui saw his youthful and heroic face, and couldn't bear to brush his ambition, smiled and nodded: "Yes, as long as you work hard, you will definitely achieve something."

Tang Jian shook his head again and said: "My father has been a village cadre all his life, but he has not been promoted, what about weishenme?" He is conscientious and conscientious, never embezzles a penny, and would rather sacrifice his own interests for the benefit of the villagers, but he will not be promoted in his life. So, I think about it, this officialdom can not only be promoted if you can do things and do good deeds. ”
