1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 541 The Drunkard Doesn't Care About Drinking, He Cares About Big Girls!

The two of them also had a few idle conversations about their children's education.

However, this made Luo Tao suddenly think of something else.

"By the way, isn't our dad reaching retirement age this year?

Shouldn't he be hired back to continue teaching? "

Zhu Lin's busy hands stopped again.

Thoughtfully, he said: "If you don't tell me today, I have forgotten it. I took my daughter back the day before yesterday, and I still talked about it with the old couple?"

Luo Tao listened quietly, thinking that there was no one else like Zhu Lin, the girl?
How could you forget such a big thing?

I hope my daughter will not imitate her careless mother.

Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable.

Amitabha.

Amen.

Luo Tao prayed to the gods and Buddhas in his heart, then returned to his original state and listened quietly.

"Our dad is not a great professor... but he wants to re-employ him. I guess he doesn't have that idea?"

Look, these are the words that only a biological daughter can say.

Luo Tao extremely restrained his true thoughts, and tried his best to keep his expression calm, not showing any intention of laughing.

He quickly caught the words and praised his father-in-law: "That's because they don't understand the value of our father."

The conversation changed and he said: "But that's fine. Now that you have retired, you can enjoy your happiness and live a life surrounded by your children and grandchildren."

Zhu Lin packed up the unraveled yarn, wrapped it around a large ball of yarn, and put it into a plastic bag.

He stood up and left the study from Luo Tao, walking to the living room.

"That's what I think, but the old man doesn't think so."

With that said, she walked in again holding a tea cup.

"Why, he is unwilling and wants to dedicate a few more years of his youth to the motherland?"

"What else could there be but this idea?"

It is not surprising to say that today's old people have this idea. After all, people today still value dedication, and the interests of the motherland are higher than personal interests.

Luo Tao had long thought about waiting for the old man to retire and letting him teach the little October brothers and sisters at home.

If he was hired back, wouldn't his children lose the guidance of a famous teacher?

Luo Tao has been hammered by the money society of later generations, and his current concepts are no longer so firm.

Everyone has a selfish side.

Even Luo Tao, who already had a good reputation, was the same.

"When you have time, can I accompany you to your home to have a good chat with the old man?"

Regarding this matter, Luo Tao had to personally persuade his father-in-law.

"It's time for you to go and see it. Have you said you've been there since you were fifteen? Our parents have some objections to this, saying that you are not as diligent as you were before we got married."

What he said made Luo Tao blush.

I had to pretend to cough twice to alleviate the embarrassment caused by the truth.

"Aren't I busy now? Didn't you tell my parents and my parents?" Luo Tao is also a talented person. If he doesn't reflect on himself, he will do the opposite.

There are few such talents in this world.

Zhu Lin was a little reluctant to hear that he was blaming this on himself.

"Now you are just like a dog called Lu Dongbin and don't know a good person's heart."

"This..." Why did you curse someone when you said that?

Luo Tao still wanted to show his face, seeing that the hat couldn't be put on, he had to say: "Hey, it's my fault, so... After I deal with the matter at hand, I will go to stay at home for a few days, and spend good time with my dad Our mother."

Luo Tao then said a few soft words before coaxing Zhu Lin to get better.

The couple talked and laughed again, discussing what gifts they would bring to their father-in-law's house in the next few days.

the next day.

After breakfast, the sun had just taken a step toward the southeast, forming an acute angle.

Suddenly, without any warning, I received a call from a senior executive.

It was said that "Wall Street Journal" reporter in China Pete wanted to interview him and asked if he had time?

No matter how Luo Tao heard it, he was not asking if he had time, but... fate seemed to have been decided at this time.

Thinking that it’s not such a bad thing anyway?Then he agreed.

The two chatted for a while about the interview, time, location, and number of participants, which were all important matters.

After the call ended, Luo Tao realized that the higher-ups still valued this interview. Not only were personnel from the external department accompanying him as translators, but people from the public, financial, and commercial departments were also sent to participate.

They are all responsible for external work.

With this lineup alone, Luo Tao also knew that this interview might be another external signal.

I just want to tell those foreign multinational companies who are still waiting and watching that we welcome you...

Once you understand the meaning, the next thing will be very easy to handle.

But before accepting the interview, you still need to put out the fire at home.

"Mom, I understand. ...Isn't it just an interview with a foreign media? Does it make you always so excited?"

Luo Tao broke away from his mother Su Guilan's hand.

She doesn't care about Luo Tao's little behavior now. If this happened in normal times, she would definitely nag: After marrying a daughter-in-law, she forgot her mother.

"Looking at what you said, why don't you just accept an interview with a foreign media? You are becoming more and more promising now, and your lies are falling out one after another."

Although the words were criticizing Luo Tao, the smile on her face betrayed her truest thoughts.

"How many people want to be interviewed by them, but they don't like it. This shows that my son is still very capable." This is what a mother wants. Whenever she has the opportunity, she wants to brag to others about her children's recent achievements.

"Remember that those who do interviews must bring glory to the country and kill the arrogance of those foreign devils..."

The more she said this, the more outrageous it became. How could a good interview turn into a battlefield in her mouth.

However, she is right, interviews are a cultural battlefield without gunpowder.

Think about the Nokia Pixel in my childhood, the BBC’s filters that are so powerful that even the Lord of Hell is afraid of them, and the face of the Bangzi Kingdom that is thicker than the imperial city wall, how dare they blatantly steal Chinese culture...

These are battlefields without smoke.

"Don't worry about this. We must give them some color and let them know that our Chinese nation is the best nation in the world, and we Chinese are the best in the world..."

After coaxing Su Guilan, Luo Tao hurriedly prepared for the interview.

First go to Lanyuan to clean up the interview location.

I haven't been to Orchid Garden for a long time, and once I come in, it seems like a lifetime away. The strange flowers and plants in the garden are competing for beauty.

Everyone is arranged in their respective places in an orderly manner.

The orchids are so majestic that they overwhelm the red maples beside them and the fragrance of wintersweet falling into mud.

Such a beautiful view would be even more perfect if there were no snoring in the courtyard.

Luo Tao gave Xu Le a wink, Xu Le immediately understood, and quietly approached the snoring with a smirk.

All of a sudden, "Yo!"

The two young men were frightened to death.

This old man is so bad. Even though he knew someone was coming, he didn't know how to get up and greet him.

Lao Zhangtou was lying on the leisure chair in the middle of the courtyard, half-squinting his eyes, looking at the shooter and the two people working quietly.

"Today, why did you think of coming to see me together?" Xu Le looked around to ease the shock from that sound just now.

"My brother and I came to see your old man, why are you unhappy?"

"No, I think you two are not holding back anything good if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything."

As he spoke, he picked up the teapot in his hand and put it to his mouth. The handle of the teapot was slightly lifted up, and his throat began to squirm.

Seeing his unwelcome look, Xu Le didn't take it to heart, "I hope you are always good at calculating. Let me tell you that my brother has taken on another big job."

When Lao Zhangtou heard about the big job, he put down the teapot, opened his eyes, and looked at the face in front of him.

Maybe it would make him nauseous if he looked at it too much, so he looked at it for less than a second and then immediately turned to look at Luo Tao, who had been playing with the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

Luo Tao felt his gaze, raised his body, and said indifferently: "It's a big job, a reporter from Meijiang will interview me in two days."

Lao Zhangtou's reaction was very real and cute. He picked his ears and wondered if he heard it wrong.

Why do some reporters from the United States want to interview him?
He stood up, put on his pair of historic cotton shoes, walked up to Luo Tao, and looked at Luo Tao with his cloudy old eyes.

"Does Mei-chan even know about you?"

Luo Tao pushed him away. At such an old age, he didn't understand why he didn't look so charming when looking at people.

He immediately lay down on the easy chair, and only after lying down did he realize what comfort is.

Not to mention it's quite warm.

His hand touched the blanket under his butt, "Is this sheepskin?"

"My daughter bought it for me." The old man grinned with a proud look on his face.

"Oh! Okay, warm."

Lao Zhangtou's daughter is not very capable at work, but she is still very filial to Lao Zhangtou.

Staring at him with a bad smile, he said, "The only thing I need at home is a sheepskin blanket..."

Not finished yet.

Lao Zhangtou immediately became unhappy and picked up Luo Tao like a chicken.

The old man is not young, but he has built up a lot of strength by knocking furniture for many years.

Don't underestimate the hand-made furniture, this job is very labor-intensive, among other things, I just planed the shavings for a day, and my arms trembled when I stopped.

Luo Tao was not surprised by this scene. When he went to Pengcheng, he knew that the old man lived well and was strong.

Otherwise, I wouldn't go to Zhengyangmen to see... and have a drink.

"Old Zhangtou, you are so naughty, I just made a joke to you, I really thought I would ask for your sheepskin blanket.

I didn’t even look down on anyone who gave me mink skins years ago. Now, I want your fishy-smelling sheepskin blanket? "

Lao Zhangtou, who lay back on the leisure chair, sneered and said, "If you don't want it, give it to me. I don't care about one more mink fur."

Luo Tao glanced at him, ignored him, and went to the main room.

This old man only wants good things.

It would be great if someone actually gave me a mink blanket.

It's annoying to think about it, but no one in my group thought of it.

It seems that I should give them a beating from time to time, otherwise they will not be interested in their work.

Luo Tao is like a grassroots leader who has just taken office, commenting on everything he goes to.

I walked around the three rooms in the main house, and when I saw nothing had changed, I came out and happened to meet Lao Zhangtou who was about to enter the house.

I don’t know what he figured out in the short time that I didn’t see him just now?At this time, he enthusiastically pulled Luo Tao to keep him warm from the cold.

"What do you want?"

"Hey! I'm so old, what can I do with you?"

Having nothing to do is the biggest thing, and the old saying goes: If you have nothing to do, you are either a prostitute or a thief.

Luo Tao looked at him strangely and couldn't help but want to tease him, "You don't want to go to Zhengyangmen with me..."

Before Luo Tao could finish speaking, he interrupted quickly, pulled Luo Tao violently, and kept looking at Xu Le who was in the courtyard. Seeing that he didn't seem to hear him, he whispered, "What are you, Hu Qin? ?Am I that kind of person?"

The more you talk, the less confident you are.

Luo Tao really wanted to say, "You are that kind of person."

Speaking of the proprietress of the Zhengyangmen Bistro, Luo Tao had secretly observed her. To be honest, she was really good-looking. She was in her fifties and her figure was still so good. Her skin was as white and tender as that of freshly baked tofu. .

You can tell from the way she is dressed that she is no ordinary woman, at least she has gone to school.

However, the landlady's surname is not Xu, her surname is Jiang.

After meeting the proprietress herself, I realized why Lao Zhangtou liked to drink the shochu in that tavern.

The drunkard doesn't mean wine.

I care about big girls too!

Luo Tao was afraid that he would be impatient and would not tease him to play cymbals.

"Then what are you looking for me for?"

He put on a smile again and said, "It's no big deal.

Let's talk as we walk. "He dragged Luo Tao to the back garden.

Walking through the Chaoshou veranda, you can look at the beautiful scenery of the garden, the flowing water and the pavilions.

The two of them helped each other across the bridge: "Can we talk now?"

At this time, he no longer wanted to hide it, and said bluntly: "Can you take me with you during the interview?"

Huh, Luo Tao stared at Lao Zhangtou, thinking that not only are you older, but you are also bolder.

How could I lead such a serious interview with a slovenly old man?

"You dare to open your teeth, but this is definitely not possible. This interview is a mission, not a play. ..."

Luo Tao explained to him the importance of this interview as he walked.

As soon as he heard that it was linked to Zhengzhi, Lao Zhangtou immediately did whatever he wanted. He had a headache about this thing.

"It's so serious, then... let's forget it."

At this time, she didn't hold Luo Tao's hand, for fear of dirtying him, and the two suddenly seemed like strangers.

This old man is too realistic.

But Luo Tao was very curious about why this old man wanted to be interviewed so suddenly.

This is not his style. When Beijing News was interviewing furniture stores in the past, he never caught up and moved forward. Now, he seems too eager for this interview that cannot be done at all.

Is it because he is foreign?

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? It's not interesting." Lao Zhang looked as if nothing had happened and walked forward with his hands behind his back.

The more he looked like this, the more Luo Tao wanted to know what he was selling.

He walked in front, Luo Tao followed, and the young and old walked around the back garden.

Luo Tao then asked him about the specific situation.

It's not a big deal.

At a larger scale, it is an internal civil dispute, but at a smaller scale, it is a vicious competition between industries.
