Siheyuan: I am invincible with my portable space
Chapter 75 Slightly Surprised
Liu Guangqi's answer surprised me a little.
His confident attitude raised some eyebrows, but I didn't say anything to discourage him. I continued, "Then remember to invite us to your big day.
"
"Of course! We are all neighbors, and we hope to ask you to preside over our wedding.
"
Liu Guangqi knew that I had excellent cooking skills and that no one in the area could match me—even "Brother Zhu", who claimed to be a good cook, was outdone.
It was certainly a great thing for him to be asked to officiate at the wedding.
Unfortunately, their relationship with our family is not deep enough, and they are not sure whether they will accept the invitation. There is nothing I can do about it, but it is natural that neighbors will see each other every day.
"Of course it's as I should be. As long as you find me, I will definitely help you without any omissions.
"
Liu Guangqi nodded and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll invite you on that day.
Mom, Dad is already waiting for me at home.
"
After a brief farewell, we parted ways.
After that, Chen Mu remained in the yard, chatting with others and enjoying the beautiful sunset.
At this moment, Chen's mother returned with her younger sister in her arms, and following behind them was the third uncle who was keen on fishing.
There were happy expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they had a good harvest today.
"Xiao Mu! It would be a pity if you didn't go out with us.
We have a great harvest today.
"
As soon as Chen's mother entered the yard, she immediately noticed her son whom she had been thinking about, and spoke with a smile. Chen Mu also felt the care of the mother's love.
Seeing his mother so happy, he did not feel embarrassed or disappointed, and asked, "Mom, did you find the treasure?"
“That’s a huge compliment, but we were really lucky today and unexpectedly caught a big fish weighing ten kilograms.
"
Unfortunately, as a single woman, I couldn't carry such heavy things back by myself, so I shared the results with my friends around me.
But it's better than having no results, and it can be considered a lucky achievement.
At this time, the lively sister also waved her hands happily, as if she wanted to show off her mother's fishing skills in front of everyone.
"You know, Mom was really lucky just now! Everyone gathered around Mom's fishing scene to watch.
Some uncles even want to learn skills from my mother, that’s amazing!”
Chen Mu was quite surprised by Xiaohua's words.
Although Chen's mother was somewhat interested in fishing, she did not do so out of the desire to learn from others.
This time he didn't expect his mother to go fishing herself, nor did she prepare any special bait in advance.
However, this time, Chen's mother actually reaped a great deal of rewards.
Could it be because her own skills were quietly improving? Chen Mu was full of doubts in his heart, but he did not forget to compliment his mother: "Mom, you really know how to fish now.
"
"I just get lucky occasionally, I don't know how, but I get lucky all of a sudden.
"Mother Chen answered modestly.
I was secretly happy inside.
Being able to keep up with the young people made her feel a little bit elated.
I saw that the corners of the third uncle's mouth also showed deep dimples when he smiled.
He couldn't help but chuckle, "Uncle, do you also think that our courtyard has taken away all the fish in the pond?"
The third uncle laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth and said, "Haha, it's not that exaggerated. I just caught a much smaller fish than that, only three catties, but it's still pretty good.
"
In fact, he didn't have high expectations. Although he envied Chen's mother's skills, his own fish was better than others, so he was not dissatisfied.
Hearing his answer, Chen Mu nodded slightly, thinking of the other party's son Yan Jiecheng, and asked curiously: "Third Uncle, I remember you mentioned that your nephew Yan Jiecheng had a blind date.
When are you going to let him go on a blind date again? I remember they were about the same age.
"
In modern society, marriage does not rely on too much interpersonal communication. It is enough for friends, relatives and neighbors to gather and congratulate each other.
Of course, no so-called favor fees will be generated.
The third uncle was naturally very clear about this, "This matter cannot be rushed, there will be employee performance evaluation in a while.
Let this kid pass the evaluation first.
"
Chen Mu was well aware of the secret: if Yan Jiecheng passed the evaluation this time, his salary would increase exponentially.
Naturally, he paid for all the wedding and banquet expenses himself.
In this way, Chen Mu naturally doesn't have to pay anymore.
The Third Uncle calculated this account very carefully, and everyone with a discerning eye present could see it, but no one pointed it out.
Every family has its own troubles, and Uncle Sanye's actions take into account the interests of the entire family.
It is naturally inconvenient for others to comment.
Besides, Yan Jiecheng is only in his early 20s this year, and he won’t seem slow just because he gets married two years later.
“That’s a natural thing.
The evaluation day is not far away, and I am afraid that there will be another happy event in our courtyard by then.
"Mother Chen on the side agreed and echoed.
Hearing this, the third uncle was even happier.
Marrying a daughter-in-law is one of the major events in life, and he was full of anticipation for this event, especially when he learned that the young man in the second master's family had found a marriage.
He firmly believed that many people were paying attention to his family right now.
It is obviously impossible for a person to remain single for his whole life. In this era, people attach more importance to family prestige and reputation.
The third uncle believes that he is not worthy of the word "disqualified".
“That’s a good thing indeed, there is still a lot of time left until the evaluation date.
Perhaps, there will be another celebration in our courtyard.
"Mother Chen answered at the side, she obviously ignored the subtext of the third uncle's words.
After chatting for a while, the two returned to their respective homes.
Chen Mu entrusted the child to the care of his wife, Chen's mother, and then went to the kitchen with the fish bucket that someone else had given him.
There was one last fish left in the fish bucket. Although it weighed no more than ten kilograms, it was still quite large and was just enough to feed the whole family for a meal.
Every time Chen Mu cooks, the whole family can always enjoy the delicious food.
This is because his cooking skills are so superb that he can turn even ordinary vegetables into something extraordinary.
This unique ability is difficult for others to imitate.
His cooking skills are beyond the reach of many people.
By the next morning, the factory management announced that a new restaurant director was in place.
Rumor has it that Deputy Director Li personally selected the new supervisor and also brought in candidates from other factories.
Although Deputy Director Li had encountered setbacks in management before, it now seems that his position has not been greatly shaken. Although Director Yang intends to intervene, there is no suitable occasion to do so.
However, everyone was puzzled: Was it fresh blood with real talent or someone with familiar connections? The new director, named Ren Guochao, was not a man of false reputation, but no one knew whether he was actually honest and kind.
This person was not short, at least 1.78 meters tall, but he looked quite fat, and his body shape was similar to that of the famous local aunt Jia Zhang.
Life in this era is so hard and arduous that few people can enjoy such a level of life.
It was just a casual greeting, but it aroused the strong interest of a colleague, which aroused complex emotions in Chen Mu's heart: In this steel mill, he has brought countless legends, but he doesn't need such special care? Excessive enthusiasm is a burden for Chen Mu who is always looking for balance, whether in work or in personal relationships.
Therefore, he chose to maintain a neutral position and responded to everything with a smile.
His attitude towards the new supervisor can be described as **bland and nothing special.
Before this, the Liang Weimin incident had already caused a major shock, so the newcomer should not have much intention of causing trouble when he takes office.
After today's introductory meeting, the new supervisor Ren Guochao has begun to perform his duties.
His work is well organized, unlike Liang Weimin who tries to win people's hearts right from the start.
Every time a leader visits, Chen Mu will still be invited to cook and prepare delicious meals.
As for that silly Zhu, he gradually faded out of everyone's sight.
At first, Chen Mu was worried that Sha Zhu might have some resistance because of his outstanding performance. But every time they met, the other party's face was always smiling as always, and there was no sign of unhappiness.
This made Chen Mu reflect: he might have mistakenly thought that a good person did a bad thing and had misunderstood others.
As Friday was approaching, I heard that Erye had bought a brand new bicycle and a semi-steel watch as gifts for Liu Guangqi.
Chen Mu couldn't help but smack his lips - the Second Master was truly a generous man.
It turned out that this uncle loved the child very much and devoted his heart and soul to him. His favoritism was beyond words.
Without saying a word, he bought a valuable gift as a reward, which seemed to indicate that the blind date had made progress - perhaps good news from the Liu family would soon come.
The second uncle and Zhou Ji did not go to work as usual these two days, but went to the neighboring city to discuss marriage. This made Chen Mu, who learned the news, feel puzzled.
Is there a sudden trend of blind dating in Beijing? Why do people seem to be actively looking for partners no matter how far away they are?
Thinking of the important competition that was coming up, Chen Mu revealed this incident to Xiao Yun when talking after dinner, expressing that he could not stay at home the next day and she had to take care of everything by herself.
Xiao Yun had no objection to this arrangement.
However, what is puzzling is that Chen Mu left home for two consecutive weekends, busy with other matters.
This is difficult for ordinary people to understand, after all, it is very different from the usual rules.
In addition, when Xiao Yun tried to ask the reason, Chen Mu just deliberately said in a deep voice that he was preparing a surprise, and emphasized that it was too early to talk about it now, and it would lose the charm of surprise.
When Chen Mu was about to go out for the third time, he could no longer hide this information and couldn't help but ask tentatively, trying to find out the answer.
"Brother Mu, why are you going out? Are you going to meet an important friend?" After the question came out of his mouth, he foresaw that if he didn't answer, Xiao Yun would probably worry about it all day.
Therefore, Chen Mu chose to share a more public message without hiding it.
