The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 18, State-owned Hotel

In the yard, several children were playing around and almost bumped into Chen Guohua.

Seeing the unfamiliar Chen Guohua, these children were a little curious and wary.

There was a bold young man who asked who Chen Guohua was and who he was looking for.

Before Chen Guohua could respond, the aunt behind him chased after him.

Several other aunts also followed.

The entire courtyard suddenly became lively.

The mid-afternoon sun shines on your body, making you feel warm.

Housewives and children who have nothing to do are in the yard right now.

It was like looking at a monkey, staring at Chen Guohua.

The latter, however, acted like a normal person and didn't care what the aunts asked. He took out his book and squatted on the edge of the corridor, reading with interest.

This scene directly confused everyone.

He turned a deaf ear to what the aunts said.

After a while of commotion, when Chen Guohua ignored everyone, the aunts felt bored and sat on the other side to bask in the sun.

It wasn't until a while later that Liang Dadong finally arrived.

"Comrade Guohua, I'm really sorry. Something happened at the factory and I was delayed. I'm sorry."

He looked at Liang Dadong standing in front of him, apologizing with shame on his face.

Chen Guohua nodded magnanimously, forgiving the other party.

Then Liang Dadong was about to open the door and welcome Chen Guohua into his home.

It’s always okay to sit down and drink a glass of water when everyone is at your door, right?

Unexpectedly, at this time, the aunt just now suddenly broke out.

I saw the aunt pointing at Liang Dadong and saying:

"You unfilial son, didn't you say you have no money? Why would you invite others to eat out if you don't have money?"

"If you don't explain this matter clearly today, I'm not done with you!"

Liang Dadong's expression changed drastically, and he glanced at Chen Guohua with a complex expression.

Then he frowned and said to the aunt:
"Mom, what do you want me to explain? I have no money to begin with. My monthly salary is only 33 yuan."

"Our family of five can barely survive on this little money."

mother?
Chen Guohua, who was standing beside him, was slightly startled, and immediately fell into a trance.

Sure enough, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite!

After just standing and listening for a while, he roughly understood what was going on.

It turns out that Liang Dadong is the eldest son of the family, but because he had a de facto marriage early, he had a child out of wedlock.

After the founding of the country, the law has been stipulated.

Men must be at least twenty years old and women must be at least eighteen years old.

But Liang Dadong got married and had children when he was 17, and he didn't get the certificate until he reached that age.

There are two younger brothers and two younger sisters at home.

As the saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son.

The partial Liu Guihua forced Liang Dadong to subsidize the family many times.

In fact, it was for two younger brothers.

Chen Guohua also met Liang Dadong's two younger brothers just now.

She is quite fair and healthy, much better than other children of the same age.

Unable to bear it anymore, Liang Dadong directly proposed to separate the family, thinking that he would be liberated.

As a result, this is the beginning of the nightmare.

Because Liang Dadong and his parents still live in the same courtyard.

It is said that it is divided, but in fact it is just two separate stoves for cooking.

In fact, we still live together and even share briquettes and other things together.

Some time ago, his wife couldn't stand the pressure anymore.

So he was sent back to his parents' home on the outskirts of the city to escape.

This is probably one of the reasons why Liang Dadong is so eager to exchange mechanical maintenance techniques with Chen Guohua, right?Liang Dadong and his mother Liu Guihua argued for a long time.

Finally, it ended with Liang Dadong saying, "I'm too lazy to tell you."

He took Chen Guohua and fled the compound at the speed of light, and finally got rid of the quarrel.

Walking in the alley, Chen Guohua was silent. Liang Dadong expressed his apology guiltily, and then said with a wry smile:
"Guohua, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Others envy me for being a first-class worker, but who knows about my family's affairs?"

"Brother Dadong, I'm not laughing at you. To be honest, my dad had an accident on the day before New Year's Day, and there are a lot of things going on at home."

Following Chen Guohua's words, Liang Dadong was also quite surprised.

The more the two chatted, the more they sighed, life is so fucked up!

Soon, the two came to a state-owned hotel, and Chen Guohua didn't want to enter.

Although in this life, he has never been to a restaurant in the capital to eat.

But in the 50s, going out to a restaurant was definitely a very luxurious thing.

"Oh, what are you afraid of? I have a ticket!"

Liang Dadong pulled Chen Guohua hard, and he spent a lot of money today.

He must invite Chen Guohua to dinner, and then learn the other party's mechanical maintenance knowledge as soon as possible to improve his skills.

He didn't have to come to the state-owned hotel to be taken advantage of.

But his mother, Liu Guihua, was staying at home. Whenever he invited guests to his home, he would definitely do bad things.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have just made an appointment with Chen Guohua at the gate of No. 78 Hospital yesterday.

Unable to escape, Chen Guohua could only follow Liang Dadong into the hotel.

At this time, there were not many customers in the state-owned hotel.

The two of them found a quiet place in the hall and sat down to order.

The slogans on the wall made Chen Guohua feel a little dazed.

Don't beat customers without reason!

It is rare to see slogans in restaurants of later generations.

Even restaurants with slogans are advising not to waste food.

For example: every trace of thought is hard to come by, and a porridge and a meal are constantly remembered. Material resources are difficult!
The sign in front of me saying that customers are not allowed to be beaten without reason is really speechless.

"Guohua, look what do you want to eat? It's open to eat today!"

Liang Dadong handed the menu to Chen Guohua and said generously.

The latter took it and looked at it. They were quite expensive.

For example, the most common hot and sour cabbage and hot and sour potato shreds have two prices respectively.

Those with tickets are four cents, those without tickets are six cents.

The price of the meat buns is nine cents plus one tael of food stamps.

Three cents for a tortilla and four cents for a steamed bun.

These are the different prices of coarse grains, fine grains and meat.

Just as Chen Guohua was about to order, the table next door was also ordering.

However, the four comrades in Chinese tunic suits over there hesitated for a long time.

The comrade waiter was a little impatient and kept scratching his butt.

Then one of the men in Chinese tunic suddenly asked the waiter: "Do you have hemorrhoids?"

The latter rolled his eyes and said:

"Can you order what's on the menu?"

puff!

The other three men in Chinese tunic suits burst into laughter instantly, and Liang Dadong and Chen Guohua also laughed.

The other customers were also happy. Does anyone still like to eat hemorrhoids these days?

After laughing, Chen Guohua ordered a whole grain pancake and a spicy and sour potato shreds.

Then he handed the menu to Liang Dadong, but stared at the door, motionless.

Because three more people came in from the other side of the door. One of them, a beautiful lesbian, also looked at Chen Guohua in surprise.

"Why is he (she) here?"
