Chapter 23 The Funny Old Couple

"Juan'er, my mother and I will go to the vegetable market together later!"

Li Suhua greeted Zheng Juan.

Zheng Juan asked suspiciously: "Mom, don't you still have a lot of cabbages and radishes at home?"

After the winter, every household has the habit of stockpiling vegetables, anyway, the cold weather will not spoil them.

Not only cabbage and radishes, but also a lot of sauerkraut at home. The several jars under the eaves outside are all sauerkraut made by Li Suhua himself.

"Go and buy a few old hens to make you healthy." Li Suhua said with a smile on his face.

"Mom, I don't need it!" An old hen costs several dollars. Zheng Juan was used to frugality when she was at home. Besides, there was no shortage of meat at home, and there were a few chickens that Zhou Zhigang brought back from the mountain city during the Spring Festival. The bacon is not finished yet.

Li Suhua straightened her waist, her face full of anticipation: "Why don't you use it, I just hope that you will give me a big fat grandson soon!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Juan blushed, lowered her head and wiped the stove with a rag, not daring to look at Li Suhua.

"Having a baby is not an easy thing, you have to make up for it."

Given the conditions of Zheng Juan's family, Zheng Juan's food must not have been very good in the past, and it would be good to see meat a few times a year.

Li Suhua looked outside, and urged: "Okay, come back and clean up, go in and change clothes, old hens are very popular, if we go late, we may not be able to buy them."

"Also, from now on, you can't touch the cold water!" Li Suhua solemnly warned.

"Ah?" Zheng Juan was puzzled.

Li Suhua looked serious: "Just listen to me!"

Zheng Juan nodded solemnly.

Outside the gate of the soy sauce factory, Wang Zhong rode a bicycle and just appeared, when Qu Xiuzhen, who was standing at the intersection with her hands behind her back, called him over.

"Secretary Qu, what do you need from me?"

Qu Xiuzhen circled the bicycle, looked Wang Zhong up, down, left, and right with her hands behind her back, "You are in good spirits, it seems that you have adapted well to the work in the slag discharge workshop! But why did I hear that you don't get along well with the workers? "

Wang Zhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "My secretary Qu, where did you hear this? I've only been in the soy sauce factory for a few days, even if I'm familiar with it, it still needs a process."

"That's the reason." Qu Xiuzhen nodded and said: "There is no best thing. You young people are the new force of the country's construction. You should get along well with your workers and leaders, and be united, friendly, and help each other. Mutual aid, you can't engage in the practice of forming gangs and standing on the top of the mountain!"

Wang Zhong raised his chest and raised his head to salute, and said loudly: "I promise to complete the task."

Qu Xiuzhen pressed the head of Wang Zhong's bicycle and said, "That's just right. Now I have an opportunity for you to get in touch with your colleagues. If you get in touch with them a lot, you will naturally become familiar with them. It's good for you to integrate into the slag-discharging workshop and our colleagues." The big family of the soy sauce factory is beneficial."

Looking at the old lady Qu with a serious face, Wang Zhong couldn't laugh or cry: "Here you are waiting for me!"

"What!" Qu Xiuzhen immediately put on a serious face: "You don't want to?"

"Secretary of Report Song, I am willing!" Wang Zhong followed seriously.

"This is our good comrade!"

Only then was Qu Xiuzhen satisfied, she pulled Wang Zhong to stand at the intersection, and called Cao Debao, Tang Xiangyang, and others from the dregs workshop who came out one after another.

Because there were too many people in the car, the old lady asked the driver to drive the car back first, and she got on Wang Zhong's bicycle. Under her guidance, it took more than ten minutes to arrive at her home.

The old lady's house is an old-fashioned bungalow with a large area and a large house, at least in this era, it is very high-end.

However, Qu Xiuzhen and Ma Shouchang were only staying in this house temporarily, and they were not the owners of the house.

As soon as he entered the room, Mrs. Qu let go of her loud voice: "Old man, look who I brought back for you!"

On the sofa, Ma Shouchang, who was reading the newspaper, turned his head and looked over. When he saw the tall Wang Zhong following behind Qu Xiuzhen, his eyes immediately lit up.

He stood up happily, pointed at Wang Zhong and said, "Zhou Bingkun!"

"Old man, you still remember me!" Wang Zhong greeted me with a smile.

"How could I forget!" Although Ma Shouchang knew that Zhou Bingkun was coming, he was unavoidably delighted to see Zhou Bingkun, with a smile on his face.

Qu Xiuzhen invited everyone to sit down first.

"How is your recovery?" Wang Zhong's gaze also moved down, landing on the old man's lap.

Ma Shouchang sat back on the sofa and patted his thigh: "I was able to go to the ground a month ago, but the doctor said that I am getting old and my body is not as good as before, so let me rest for a while, so is Lao Qu, which is not allowed. That's not allowed either."

"I've been injured for a hundred days, and I'm sure I'm right to listen to the doctor."

"I heard from the old song that you went to the soy sauce factory..."

Chat a few words.

At the dining table, Qu Xiuzhen had already served all the dishes on the table one after another.

They clapped their hands and greeted everyone: "Come, come, come over, sit down and eat."

The rectangular dining table is filled with a large table of dishes and wine.

"Secretary Qu, the old man's legs are not healed yet, so let's stop drinking!" Wang Zhong suggested, sweeping his gaze across to Cao Debao.

"Old horses don't drink, I'll drink with you!" Qu Xiuzhen, an old revolutionary, knew everything about smoking and drinking, but she almost burned her head.

"It's still snowing outside, and we'll have to ride our bikes back later. For safety's sake, everyone, don't drink too much, Secretary Qu, what do you think?"

"You kid, you just like to spoil the fun."

Qu Xiuzhen put down the wine glass she just raised, and although she muttered something, she was quite surprised in her heart, but Wang Zhong was quite thoughtful, and nodded: "Okay, listen to you, we mean it."

Everyone was still wondering how Wang Zhong knew Secretary Qu's husband. After drinking a glass of wine, Ma Shouchang told him about Wang Zhong sending him to the hospital at the entrance of the bathing pool.

After a meal, the host and guests had a good time, and everyone got a new understanding of Qu Xiuzhen, a high-ranking party official.

Getting acquainted with these two lovely and respectable old men, Wang Zhong's trip to the soy sauce factory was not in vain.

At work, Qu Xiuzhen was known for her uprightness, she distinguished between public and private, and she was dedicated to the public. Although Wang Zhong was the benefactor of her old man, in the factory, he did whatever he wanted, without any extra preferential treatment.

As time passed day by day, Zhou Rong sent back a letter saying that she had safely arrived in Guizhou Province and found Feng Huacheng, who had been sent to Jinba Village to reform through labor. She also set up a school in Jinba Village and became a supporting teacher. Teacher, you have calmed down, let Li Suhua and Wang Zhong not worry.

Li Suhua was illiterate and Wang Zhong was not at home. Zheng Juan read the letter to her. Li Suhua burst into tears and couldn't stop it.

Holding the letter in his arms, it seemed that the letter became Zhou Rong who was far away in Guizhou Province.

Zheng Juan could only comfort her.

It took a while for Li Suhua to recover, and wanted Zheng Juan to help reply the letter, but Zheng Juan was only able to read and write, and her education level was not high, so she had to wait for Wang Zhong to come back from get off work at night.

At night, Wang Zhong, who knew about this, shook his head, sighed helplessly, and then laughed at himself. He really had nothing to say about Zhou Rong.

However, he still wrote a reply letter according to Li Suhua's intention, and also wrote a letter to tell Zhou Zhigang about it.

After a period of time, Li Suhua's mood was not very good.

Three months later, Zheng Juan suddenly vomited and felt nauseated. Li Suhua was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to take Zheng Juan to the city hospital for an examination. Sure enough, Zheng Juan was two months pregnant.

Li Suhua was so happy, Zheng Juan didn't let Zheng Juan spray any heavy work, tiring work, or cold things. She couldn't do it by herself, so she let Wang Zhong do it when Wang Zhong came back.

Since it was her first child, Zheng Juan had a lot of reactions. She vomited all day long, and Li Suhua tried her best to get all kinds of food for Zheng Juan, and she enjoyed it all without feeling tired at all.

Instead, he forgot about Zhou Rong.

Looking at Li Sujuan who looked like an old child, Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan were helpless, but they were also happy to see the result, so they simply let her go and let her do what she liked, it was better than just worrying about it Zhou Rong is strong.

However, since Zheng Juan became pregnant, as long as it is not raining, Wang Zhong will take Zheng Juan to walk from Lao Zhou's house to Zheng's house in Taiping Hutong every day. He can not only take a walk, but also visit Zheng's mother and Guangming. The best of both worlds, Zheng Juan is also happy in it.

Mother Zheng and Guangming were also very happy.
