Accidentally Born in the ‘60s: 109.Hua Guo Society

Seeing Xi Junjie's pitiful appearance, Zhen Zhen hugged her stomach and squatted on the ground laughing wildly, Xi Junjie looked at her helplessly with a huge bouquet: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Zhen Zhen nodded, she was almost speechless when she laughed: "You have been there more than 30 times...but...you didn't find...the cave...haha..."

Xi Junjie couldn't help laughing when he thought that he had done such a stupid thing: "It's over, there is a black history just after the marriage proposal. Do you have to laugh when you think about it in the future?"

Zhen Zhen stood up on her knees and nodded vigorously: "When our children grow up, I have to tell them."

Xi Junjie opened the car door, put the rose on the back seat, waited for the heat in the car to dissipate, and then blocked the frame with his hand: "Okay, stop laughing, get in the car."

Zhen Zhen lowered her head and sat on the co-pilot, fastened her seat belt, and watched Xi Junjie sit on the cab from the other side: "You are quite a gentleman."

Xi Junjie stretched out his face and kissed Zhen Zhen's face: "It depends on who you are with, you must be a gentleman with you, and your daughter-in-law must be taken care of. If you are with other If a girl goes out, then she can't be so gentleman, you know that a man as handsome as me, as long as he is more considerate, will easily make people think otherwise."

"Oh!" Zhen Zhen smiled and patted Xi Junjie on the shoulder, looking at him narrowly: "Why are you so narcissistic."

Xi Junjie started the car and glanced at Zhen Zhen with a smile: "The main reason is that you praise me every day for how good-looking I am, and what you praise me for is inflated."

Zhen Zhen held her chin and looked at Xi Junjie carefully, she couldn't help but praised again: "It's really pretty, well, for the sake of your face, I'll allow you to be yourself in front of me. love.”

Xi Junjie laughed, stretched out his hand and pinched Zhen Zhen's ear, and said dotingly: "Oh, I am so happy to praise, so I decided to take you to eat delicious food."

Zhen Zhen wrinkled her nose and deliberately made a fierce expression: "If it doesn't taste good, I will punish you on your knees on the washboard."

"This starts exercising the daughter-in-law's rights?" Xi Junjie hung up the block: "Then I have to buy a few more washboards and put them at home. If the kneeling is broken, there will be a replacement, so as to save the daughter-in-law's anger."

Zhen Zhen covered her mouth with joy, Xi Junjie stepped on the accelerator, and while paying attention to the road conditions, he discussed with Zhen Zhen: "I have booked restaurants for lunch and dinner, let's go to lunch first, and wait until the afternoon, do you have any? What do you want to do? Watch a movie or go shopping for wedding clothes.”

The car drove along the dirt road from the suburbs to the outer city and then into the inner city, and finally stopped at the entrance of the Imperial Hotel. Xi Junjie helped Zhen Zhen out of the car and looked at her face with concern: "Today's ride is too much Have you had any dizziness or nausea after a long time?"

"I don't feel dizzy." Zhen Zhen flickered her long eyelashes very honestly: "It's just that I was hungry all the way, I think I can eat a cow now."

Xi Junjie put his hands on his pockets and let out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I brought enough money today, otherwise I might have to stay and wash the dishes according to your appetite."

Although Zhen Zhen has never been to the Imperial Hotel, she knows the price of the super expensive dishes here. She stretched out her hand to hold Xi Junjie's arm and asked worriedly, "Do you really have enough money?"

Xi Junjie looked at her dumbfoundedly: "How poor am I in your heart?" He reached out and squeezed Zhen Zhen's cheek, Xi Junjie whispered in her ear: "Relax, my investment income in France It's tall enough, I can still invite you to eat here." He said a number in Zhen Zhen's ear, Zhen Zhen looked at him in astonishment: "This is much faster than doing business to make money, or I will go to France too. Invest."

Because they arrived early, there were not too many guests in the restaurant, so the two found a quiet and secluded place. After ordering, they looked at each other and suddenly laughed together.

Xi Junjie stretched out his hand and scratched on Zhen Zhen's finger: "When will we have the wedding?"

Zhen Zhen thought for a moment and said: "I have to report to the unit tomorrow, I guess it will be busy at the beginning. Why don't we put the wedding in October, when the work should also start, so it won't be in a hurry. The weather is just right. , the autumn is high and the air is fresh, which is suitable for marriage."

Xi Junjie immediately took out a yellow calendar and showed it to Zhen Zhen: "In that case, it would be more suitable to have a date, how about September 26th? The lunar calendar is the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, which is a good day for marriage. , and it happened to be a Sunday."

Zhen Zhen looked at this calendar from August to October, with a lot of days in each month, and immediately looked at him with tears in her eyes: "You have prepared enough, no matter how you look at it. If you don't come out, you are someone who will believe in the Yellow Calendar."

"The old man believes it." Xi Junjie said with a serious face: "After all, it is a major event for the two families, and everyone has to be satisfied."

Zhen Zhen stretched out her hand and held Xi Junjie's hand, feeling warm in her heart: "You are so attentive, I feel like I can't help at all."

Xi Junjie put his other hand on the back of Zhen Zhen's hand, with a warm smile on his face: "You just need to feel at ease to be a beautiful bride."

The waiter came over with a pot of braised shark's fin in hand, and saw the two of them looking at each other affectionately, and suddenly they didn't go in or go out, Zhen Zhen quickly pulled her hand back when she saw this: "I'll go to the bathroom first. "

Braised shark fin is one of the signature dishes of Tan Jia Cai at Imperial Hotel. It uses the finest ingredients such as shark fin, whole chicken, duck, Jinhua ham, and dried scallops.

When Zhen Zhen washed her hands and came back, the other dishes she ordered were served one after another, such as two-color prawns, steamed chicken with straw mushrooms, sunflower duck, live fish in soy sauce, braised black ginseng, silk chowder, and poached squid. The tables were packed.

Looking at the delicious food, Zhen Zhen couldn't help swallowing her saliva, her eyes straightened: "Did we order too much?"

Xi Junjie poured a bowl of braised shark fins and handed it to her: "Not much, I believe in your fighting ability."

Zhen Zhen took a spoon and scooped a spoonful of braised shark fin into her mouth, only to feel that the tender shark fin slipped into her mouth, and the taste was rich; then try two different ways of cooking prawns, the mouth is fresh Delicate, delicious and refreshing; and the stewed chicken with straw mushrooms is not only soft and delicious, but also the fragrance of straw mushrooms is melted into the chicken, which makes people move...

Zhen Zhen was in a good mood after eating each delicious dish. When she looked at the exquisite dishes, she thought of savoring the taste of each dish carefully, and then she was discussing with Xi Junjie, don't let it go This beautiful setting and romantic atmosphere. But after taking a bite, Zhen Zhen had no idea what to do, she just focused on eating hard, her mouth was full, don't talk, even breathing Zhen Zhen was wasting her time.

After a meal of wind and clouds, the two of them ate the eight dishes cleanly, rubbing her bulging belly, Zhen Zhen leaned on the back of the chair and felt unable to move: "No wonder it's so expensive, it's because it's too expensive. It's delicious."

Xi Junjie poured a cup of Xiaoshi tea for Zhen Zhen, his eyes were full of smiles: "I think watching you eat is a kind of enjoyment, when you eat delicious food, your expression is very cute and very satisfying ."

"Really?" Zhen Zhen wiped the oil remaining on her mouth with a handkerchief, and looked at Xi Junjie in disbelief: "I've eaten so much that you still think I'm cute? Isn't it easy to use my eyes? ?"

Xi Junjie smiled very happily: "That's why I said that the lover sees Xi Shi in the eyes."

The two sat for a while and then left the Imperial Hotel. Originally, Zhen Zhen planned to go to the movies with Xi Junjie after the meal, but because she was too full, Zhen Zhen really didn't want to stay in the movie theater. Decided to take a look at the nearby mall. Nowadays, it is more popular for married men and women to wear suits, but Zhen Zhen still thinks it looks better in skirts. The two of them walked around for an afternoon and finally chose a red dress with a small delicate shawl on it, which was festive and beautiful.

It was nine o'clock in the evening when I got home after a romantic candlelight dinner. The car stopped outside Li's house, Xi Junjie got out of the car and opened the door for Zhen Zhen, looking at her reluctantly: "Suddenly I feel that getting married at the end of September is still a bit late, if only I would get married tomorrow."

Zhen Zhen stood on tiptoe and kissed Xi Junjie on the face, then pushed him back to the car with a smile: "While you are not under my control at this time, allow you to finally enjoy the happiness of a single young man." Xi Junjie grabbed Zhen Zhen's hand and tried his best to pouted his mouth a little higher: "It's okay to kiss here." Zhen Zhen smiled and leaned over and made a "Boom", Xi Junjie released Zhen Zhen's hand contentedly.

Zhen Zhen waved to Xi Junjie, hummed a song, and ran into the main courtyard in a circle, Mrs. Li, Wang Sufen and the others usually went to bed at 8 o'clock in the evening, but only when Zhen Zhen entered the main courtyard did they find out The lights in Mrs. Li's house are still on.

Mr. Li was sitting under the window dozing off. She suddenly lowered her head and woke up suddenly. She opened her eyes and saw Zhen Zhen entering the yard. Mrs. Li hurriedly opened the door and shouted, "Why did you come back? Come here quickly."

Zhen Zhen looked at Mrs. Li with a smirk: "Mother, you haven't slept yet?"

"If I don't come back in the middle of the night, how can I sleep?" Mrs. Li yawned: "You hurry into the room, I have something to ask you."

"Okay, I'll put the things in the room first." The rose in Zhen Zhen's hand had disappeared as early as when Zhen Zhen picked it up, and when Zhen Zhen entered the room, she couldn't find anything to put it in. So many roses can only be placed in the space first.

When Zhen Zhen entered the main room, Mrs. Li was holding the water cup and pouring water, she saw Zhen Zhen was busy dragging her into the room where she was sleeping, she couldn't wait to ask: "You and Junjie have set a wedding date. No?"

"It's settled." Zhen Zhen asked Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen to sit on the bed, and she sat on the chair beside her: "It's set on September 26th, the lunar calendar is the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, and it's a Sunday. "

Sure enough, Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen laughed when they heard about this day: "It's a good day, it's an even number."

"Then what, you guys are relieved after hearing that, I went back to the room to sleep." Zhen Zhen said that she stood up and was about to leave, but Mrs. Li hurriedly grabbed her and asked in a low voice, "Today Is Junjie proposing to you?"

Zhen Zhen looked at Mrs. Li with a smile and gave her a thumbs up: "Ma, you didn't watch TV for nothing, you already know that you have proposed marriage."

"You can pull it down, it's not played on TV." Mrs. Li rolled her eyes: "I heard what your mother-in-law said. What, Junjie really knelt down?"

Thinking of the daytime scene, Zhen Zhen couldn't hide the smile on her face, she looked at herself with two pairs of eyes in front of her, and felt a little embarrassed for a while: "Mother, why are you asking everything? What? How embarrassed?"

"This is kneeling." Mrs. Li nodded firmly, then turned her head and muttered to Wang Sufen: "You said that the people in this imperial city are really different from those in our small place, if you leave it to us, if the gentlemen are right It's embarrassing for the daughter-in-law to be arrogant, so she knelt down before she got married, I think her mother-in-law is quite happy."

Wang Sufen pondered: "I guess her mother-in-law has a big heart. I think her temperament is usually carefree, and she doesn't pay much attention to these things."

Old Mrs. Li nodded, and immediately said to Zhen Zhen: "Although your mother-in-law has a good temperament, you can't just bully Junjie, what a good boy, he looks so nice and has a good temperament, next time Don't let him kneel, you know?"

Zhen Zhen looked at Mrs. Li with tears in her eyes and nodded heavily: "I see."

"It's not too bad." Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but laugh again: "Our family Zhen Zhen is blessed to have traveled so far to find such a good man, yet he still lives next door. You don't know that when Zhen Zhen was a child, I was worried about her marriage, and I was thinking at the time, when Zhen Zhen married into someone else's house, what would I do if I couldn't see it all day, what would I do if I was bullied?"

Wang Sufen interrupted Mrs. Li's memories honestly: "Mother, I think if someone carelessly wants to bully Zhen Zhen, then the designated person will be kicked on the wall by Zhen Zhen, there is nothing to worry about."

Zhen Zhen nodded: "Or just kick the tree."

Mr. Li glanced at Wang Sufen and Zhen Zhen, and all her emotions disappeared in an instant. She kicked her shoes aside, and Mrs. Li lay on the bed and closed her eyes: "Sleep, I don't like chatting with you."

Zhen Zhen held back her laughter and helped Mrs. Li turn off the lights. Before she and Wang Sufen reached the door, they already heard Mrs. Li's snoring. Wang Sufen closed the door gently, lowered her voice and said to Zhen Zhen, "Your mother has been sleepy for a long time, just thinking about your wedding day."

"I know." Zhen Zhen smiled, squeezed Wang Sufen's shoulder and sent her back to the house: "Mom, hurry up and go to bed, it's getting late."

"Okay." Wang Sufen took two steps and suddenly remembered that Zhen Zhen was going to work tomorrow, and quickly asked, "What time do you go to work tomorrow? I'll cook for you when I get better."

"No, I'll just go to the street and eat the flatbread and fried dough sticks. You sleep late tonight, don't worry about me tomorrow morning." Afraid that Wang Sufen would not be happy, Zhen Zhen added: "Junjie and I are on the way to work, the two of us. Eat together."

"That's fine." The daughter and son-in-law went out together, so there was nothing to worry about, Wang Sufen instructed: "Then ride your bicycle slowly, don't fall or anything." Zhen Zhen responded and left Go to the door, turn off the lights, and then go back to your house.

Although it's not too late, what happened today, Zhen Zhen lay in bed and couldn't sleep. Thinking that the roses were still left in the space, Zhen Zhen simply sat up and took out a dozen antique vases from the Ming and Qing Dynasties from the space, each filled with half a bottle of water, trimmed the roses and put them in different vases. in a vase.

There is a bottle on the bedside table, a bottle on the dresser, a bottle on the desk, a bottle on the picture table, and every window sill in the house. Smelling the fragrance of roses, Zhen Zhen lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

***

As a state-level news agency, Huaguo News Agency is the mouthpiece of Huaguo, and she is both nervous and excited to work in such an important news agency as soon as she graduates.

Although it's an hour earlier than work time, there are already many people who are writing and writing in their positions. Half of the students in Zhen Zhen's class were assigned to Huaguo Club, including several girls in Zhen Zhen's dormitory. Seeing the familiar faces, their nervousness was relieved a lot.

A reporter led the students to an empty conference room. Wei Yujin, Xu Jiajia and the others had already arrived. Zhen Zhen put her bag on the table and asked softly, "You all moved to the Huaguo Society. The staff dormitory?"

"Yes." Xu Jiajia said excitedly: "The environment is better than when we were in college. Sister Wei, Meng Xiaoran, and Han Xiaoru share a room with a bathroom, and everyone has a wardrobe."

Eight girls in Zhen Zhen's dormitory, only Wei Yujin is married. When Wei Yujin came to the Imperial Capital to go to college, the children were two years old, and now they are almost at the age of preschool.

"Eldest sister, have you ever thought about taking the child over? After all, the teaching environment in the Imperial Capital is much better than that in the Northwest." Zhen Zhen couldn't help but ask when Wei Yujin looked distracted.

"Well, I'm also thinking about this." Wei Yujin was a little worried when she thought about it: "I just went to work, and I haven't been able to apply for a family dormitory. Men and children can't live here even if they come here. A house, there is a lot of money for food and accommodation, let’s talk about it later.”

Zhen Zhen and Wei Yujin have lived together for four years, and I especially like this eldest sister. In school, Wei Yujin broke her heart for several girls in the dormitory. In winter, she had to touch their clothes one by one before class. For fear that they would be cold if they liked to wear pretty clothes, and when the weather was hot in the summer night, they would fan the fans one by one for them, and the girls would be embarrassed.

Because everyone was a student in the past, Zhen Zhen was not very good at asking about family affairs, but now that everyone has graduated and started working, Zhen Zhen wanted to help Wei Yujin.

Seeing that it was still early, Zhen Zhen pulled Wei Yujin and dragged her to the bottom of the corridor in the yard: "Eldest sister, I really want to ask you a question, you have to be honest with me."

"What's the matter, it's so mysterious?" Wei Yujin looked at Zhen Zhen's serious face and was amused: "Tell me what you ask my sister."

Zhen Zhen smiled embarrassedly: "I just want to ask you, do you really want your brother-in-law to bring the child over, or do you have other ideas?"

"The designation really wanted him to come here." Wei Yujin sighed: "I also know that, like us educated youths, some people go back to the city and some go to college, and many people go out with men from the countryside. Divorced. But I thought that since we are all having children together, how can we live a good life for ourselves and not be good for men and children? If you do that, what is the difference between Chen Shimei in the past? right?"

Zhen Zhen smiled, Wei Yujin continued: "It's okay, don't worry about my elder sister. After a few years, my elder sister's job is done and she has a chance to apply for a house, so I will take them over. Your elder brother-in-law's woodworking skills are quite good. , and willing to endure hardship, how can I find a job.”

Zhen Zhen nodded: "I remember hearing from my eldest sister that your man is a good carpenter, it's like this, I know Director Sun of our Tengda Furniture Factory, and when I talk to him, I will arrange my brother-in-law to go to work directly. ."

"Tengda Furniture Factory?" Wei Yujin's eyes widened: "Is it the largest furniture factory in China now? I heard that the masters there are very good, can you want me as a man?"

“You can start with small jobs first. If you have no problem with the craftsmanship, you can directly participate in furniture production.” Although Zhen Zhen did not go to the factory, she still knew the operation mode of the factory very well: “Moreover, there are several factories in the factory. There is a family building that cannot be opened by local families, but those from other places can apply to live in it, and the furniture is fully furnished. I remember that another one was just built this spring, and I told you about it with Director Sun and I will give it to you. One set."

Wei Yujin was so excited that she didn't know what to say, she held Zhen Zhen's hands and her eyes were red: "Zhen Zhen, thank you for this matter, whether it's successful or not, but I also know that the factory is very difficult to enter. , if people don't like you, don't be embarrassed, I don't want you to be humble for me."

“Where do you want to go.” Zhen Zhenxiu thought about it and said: “In this way, the furniture factory is not too far away anyway, you can go directly with me after get off work in the evening, and when you get the key to the house, you Feel free to call my brother-in-law." Seeing that Wei Yujin's tears were falling, Zhen Zhen pushed her narrowly: "Did you cry with joy at the thought of the reunion of husband and wife without having to stay alone in the empty room?"

Wei Yujin burst into tears and laughed: "I can see that he is about to get married, and his face is getting thicker and thicker."

Seeing that it was almost time for work, Wei Yujin wiped away her tears and returned to the conference room with Zhen Zhen. Not long after the two sat down, a man with glasses walked in with a notebook between them. The meeting room fell silent immediately, and everyone watched the man waiting for him to arrange work.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yu Shoujing, the editor-in-chief of the domestic news department. Welcome everyone to work at Hua Guoshe. We will be colleagues in the future. If you have any difficulties or don't understand at work, you can ask me. I will actively answer your questions.”

After a simple opening remark, Yu Shoujing first introduced the situation of the Huaguo Society, and then emphasized: "Everyone is a top student majoring in journalism at Imperial College, and I think everyone has understood the importance of journalism through four years of study. In the future work, I hope that you can apply what you have learned, and report the principles and policies of our country, current affairs at home and abroad, military affairs, diplomacy and other news as soon as possible.”

Yu Shoujing took out a blank piece of paper from the notebook, with the names of all the recent students in this batch, sorted by their academic performance over the past four years.

"Compared with the local media, the reports of the Huaguo News Agency are more serious, rational and calm, so when you enter the Huaguo News Agency, you must first learn. Now I will take you to the domestic news department for a brief introduction. Each of you find a teacher."

The students stood up in twos and threes, followed Yu Shoujing to a very large office, Yu Shoujing opened the blank paper, pointed to an elder sister in her fifties and said, "Zhang Xiaoran, Xu Jiajia, you two and Teacher Wang Yuchun Study; Wei Yujin, Guo Xiaoqiao, you all study with Teacher Zhang Minghan..."

After reading it for a while, everyone has a teacher, only Zhen Zhen is still silently following behind Yu Shoujing, Yu Shoujing returned to his office, and when he looked up, he found that he had forgotten this very beautiful girl, and quickly let him Zhen Zhen sat down: "I almost forgot about you, the editor-in-chief has seen your file and said that your French and English are very good, so I will let you study with me for a while, and then I will transfer you to a foreign news editor. Department.”

Zhen Zhen looked at Yu Shoujing: "Then Chief Editor Yu, what do you think I should do now?"

Yu Shoujing handed Zhen Zhen a piece of paper: "It has been four years since our country's reform and opening up, and the domestic economy has undergone great changes. I would like you to interview some state-owned and private enterprises. Change and write a story.”

Zhen Zhen was also very interested in this kind of content, she put the paper into her bag and replied seriously: "I promise to complete the task."
