official journey ups and downs

Shen Tong didn't know about Zhao Huan's tragic experience, but Shen Tong found some unpredictable sadness between Zhao Yitang's brows. He avoided his eyes, held the water glass with both hands and pretended to drink water thoughtfully.

"Zhao Huan will be graduating next year. I want her to come back, but she doesn't want to. She said she wants to stay in the capital, so it's hard to say." Zhao Yitang sighed.

Shen Tong remembered his own experience, if his father hadn't asked him to come back, maybe it would be another world in Longzhong City now.Combined with his own experience, Shen Tong said: "Secretary Zhao, I think it's better to stay in the capital. After all, it is the capital of China and the center of politics and culture. It has a broad horizon and different people. It's not like our small place. Drilled in the ravine, the information is blocked, I feel that I have been home for more than a year. In such an environment, no matter how big of an idea you have, you can’t realize it.”

Zhao Yitang didn't look at Shen Tong, leaned on the sofa and said: "You can't think too much, we are a small place, but there is little competition, little pressure in life, and low consumption level. If you are in this world, it will be very easy for you to display your talents You can get ahead soon. On the contrary, in big cities, there are waves of talents waiting for employment. The high housing prices, coupled with the high cost of living, make you breathless. It’s like buying a house in a county town It’s only over 10, go to the capital to see, it’s easily over a million, it’s frightening to death, according to my current situation, I can afford Zhao Huan a house in the capital.”

"A small place has its advantages. I don't want her to have much ability for a girl's family. Seeing her life is safe and sound, and her family is happy, I am satisfied. What else should I pursue? I don't want to worry about it." When it comes to her, what's the point if she's gone forever and we're just the two of us?" In fact, Zhao Yitang was more worried about his daughter's illness.

Zhao Yitang agrees with his father's thoughts. This has nothing to do with academic status, but the deep-rooted love for soil in his bones can't get out of that circle. It's useless to argue any longer. Shen Tong didn't make a sound, and fell into a short-term embarrassment .

At this moment, Li Lamei came out with a dish, and said to Zhao Yitang, "Clean up the coffee table for me, the meal will be ready soon."

Zhao Yitang moved his fat body and got up, took a rag from the window sill, and wiped it carefully.Seeing this, Shen Tong also got up, and carried the items on the coffee table to the cabinet next to him.

After a while, a few dishes came to the table. Shen Tong salivated at the various dishes, and unconsciously his stomach made a "gurgling" sound. He was indeed a little hungry.

"Eat first, don't wait for me, there are still ribs stewed in the pot, it will be ready soon. Zhao Huan, come and eat with us too." Li Lamei was busy.

Zhao Yitang took out a bottle of "Wuliangye" from the cabinet, held it in front of Shen Tong and said with great interest: "This bottle of wine was bought by a college classmate of mine when he came to visit me, and I have been reluctant to drink it. I am happy today, so we two will drink it." Can you finish this bottle of wine?"

Shen Tong thought about going to work in the afternoon, so he reminded: "Secretary Zhao, I have to go to work in the afternoon, or we can drink another day, what do you think?"

"What are you afraid of!" While speaking, he unscrewed the wine bottle and poured it into the prepared wine glass. "I know your drinking capacity, half a catty should not be a problem. Besides, Secretary Wu is not here in the afternoon, so it's a rare leisure time. Come, drink!"

The hospitality is hard to come by, Shen Tong didn't think too much, picked up the wine glass and drank half a sip, he almost choked out tears when it was so hot.

Shen Tong himself doesn't know how much alcohol he can drink. Anyway, he has never been drunk so far. The time he drank the most was when he graduated from university. Six people in the dormitory removed 9 bottles of liquor each, and each person got a catty.At that time, Shen Tong felt dizzy and shaky when walking, but he was very conscious, and carried the drunk Santiao back to the dormitory.

"Come, eat!" Zhao Yitang picked up the chopsticks and pointed, "Your aunt's cooking is delicious, and it's her good craftsmanship that keeps my stomach in check. No matter how busy I am, I'm used to going home for dinner, haha. "

Shen Tong has already tasted the rice cooked by Li Lamei, and it is indeed delicious.Vinegar potato shreds is a dish of hundreds of families. Basically, every family can’t do without potatoes. There are many ways to cook potatoes. They are cut into pieces, shredded or shredded. They are very delicious when steamed, fried, and roasted. Fully flavored, more crispy and fragrant; bean sprouts fried vermicelli, which is also made of potato flour, fried with bean sprouts, coiled in circles in the center of the plate with yellow and white, it tastes silky and refreshing, full of chewiness; green onions are fried in oil Meat, when I was a child, Shen Tong could only eat this dish during the Chinese New Year, because making oily meat is very expensive, so many families want to eat it but dare not make it.Pork is mainly tenderloin, finely cut into thick slices of copper coin, add egg yolk, yellow powder, refined salt, cooking wine, etc. It is golden in color and has a lingering fragrance in the mouth; bowl support, also known as enema, is a special snack of Dongquan, which is steamed with a special processing method.When eating, it can be cut with a knife or scratched with claws, cut into strips, seasoned with garlic vinegar, or eaten cold, or fried with oil. It is smooth, refreshing and delicious.

What made Shen Tong most greedy was the beef sandwich placed in the middle.Pull the cooked beef into shreds, mix it with shredded green onions, then cut the sesame seed cakes in the middle with a knife, and put the meat in.The cake is crispy and the meat is strong, it is easy to eat and addictive.Shen Tong was also polite, picked up a piece of beef sandwich and ate it happily.

Zhao Huan was still depressed, and casually ate small mouthfuls like a young girl, with erratic eyes as if something was hidden in his heart.

Zhao Yitang at the side also noticed it, tapped the plate with chopsticks and said, "Zhao Huan, eat quickly, the food is cold."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Huan made an astonishing move, took Zhao Yitang's wine glass and drank it in one breath, causing Shen Tong to open his mouth wide in surprise.

After Zhao Huan finished drinking, her face turned red. She wiped her mouth with her cuff, and summoned up her courage, "Dad, I want to tell you something."

Zhao Yitang was equally astonished with his chopsticks hanging in the air, turned around and said angrily: "If you have something to say, what kind of wine does a girl drink at home, besides, your body doesn't allow you to drink..."

"Enough!" Zhao Huan put the wine glass heavily on the table, tears rolled down like broken beads, and said with a sad face: "Dad, I want to tell you something. Enterprises have found jobs, and they mainly do export trade, whether you like it or not, that's the way it is."
