Chapter 83 I Like People Who Are Smaller Than Me

周末
Chen Jinyue was awakened early in the morning by the sound of doors opening and closing.

"Mom, who's here?"

Chen Jinyue walked out of the room sleepily and saw a large pile of Kubo peaches on the table.

"Lao Cao from next door sent it."

"He said his son bought it from the small market next to the factory. It's fresh and delicious, so he brought it over for us to try."

Chen Jinyue realized as soon as he heard it that this "Lao Cao" was the director of the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe.

Their building was originally built to house the families of the provincial party committee. The neighbors living upstairs and downstairs were all leaders from the province and various units, and they often passed things up and down the stairs.

"It's so rare for Uncle Cao's son to come home."

"That's right. Lao Cao said that they are busy at the factory and usually live in the staff dormitory. It's Lao Cao's wife's birthday this weekend, so his son came back specially."

"Just now, Lao Cao asked me indirectly whether you have a partner and wanted to match you two up."

Mother Chen is worried about Chen Jinyue's marriage, and she keeps talking about blind dates.
"Little Cao next door is about your age and a college graduate. I heard he's a senior engineer in the factory and now leads a workshop team."

"He's got good height and looks, and is a good match for you."

Chen Jinyue quickly said, "Stop, stop, stop. We are not suitable for each other."

Mother Chen: "That's not suitable? These conditions are very good!"

Without even thinking, Chen Jinyue said, "I like people younger than me."

Seeing that Mother Chen was about to persuade him again, Chen Jinyue quickly found an excuse to change the subject.

"Mom, my friend who speaks Japanese will be coming over this afternoon. I'll pick him up after lunch."

Mother Chen is a warm and hospitable person: "Okay! Then I'll prepare some more fruits for him to eat when he comes!"

After lunch,

Chen Jinyue arrived at Ermalu at the agreed time.

As soon as she reached the second intersection, she saw a young man riding a bicycle and waiting there with two bags of fruit.

Seeing Chen Jinyue, Chen Luyang immediately smiled and rode his bicycle towards her.

"Sister Yue, give it to me!"

Chen Luyang carefully took out a small item from his pocket and handed it to Chen Jinyue.

"what is this?"

Chen Jinyue took it and took a look.

I saw a brand new one-cent banknote folded into a heart shape, lying delicately in my palm.

"I'll return your ten cents." Chen Luyang said with a smile.

"How can you pay back money like this?" Chen Jinyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"I can't bear to spend the money on something so beautiful!"

Chen Luyang smiled and said, "Then don't spend it. I didn't want you to spend it anyway~"

joke!

He coaxed his daughter Xiaoling into folding this.
It took several minutes to fold it!
If he spends this money carelessly, Xiaoling's handicraft work will be in vain.

It's only 1 cents, not 10 yuan.

Not spending it will not affect the overall situation at all.

But when Chen Jinyue heard this, it didn't make sense.

She held up a small heart-shaped dime and asked, "Did you fold this?"

Chen Luyang nodded shamelessly: "I folded it."

Chen Jinyue smiled and said, "You're quite clever and skillful. Let's go~"

Chen Jinyue's home is in a small courtyard behind the second road.

Although Chen Luyang went to Chen Jinyue's house to discuss work, it was his first visit after all, so he bought two bags of fruit as a gift.

Just entered the courtyard,

Chen Luyang looked at the four-story circular tube building in front of him and was secretly shocked.

Good guy...

No wonder Chen Jinyue became the manager of Songting Hotel at such a young age. Living in a place like this, his parents must be extraordinary people.

This looks much more imposing than the family compound of the machinery factory!
Suddenly, a high-pitched singing voice came from the second floor on the east side.

It sounded like a birthday song, and it was sung in bel canto style!

Chen Luyang frowned when he heard this.

The sound of singing...why does it sound so familiar?

"The uncle who lives there is from the song and dance troupe. Today is his wife's birthday, and the whole family is celebrating!"

Chen Jinyue looked at Chen Luyang's expression and took the initiative to explain to him.

"Oh oh." Chen Luyang's doubts were instantly resolved when he heard the song and dance troupe.

Followed Chen Jinyue to her home.

at this time,

Chen Tuo was already sitting on the sofa.

In the past two years, the Provincial Cultural Bureau has continuously increased its efforts to carry out foreign cultural exchange activities, and the number of foreign guests in the provincial capital has increased day by day.

Especially in the first half of the year, after a friendly delegation from Xinkou City, Japan, visited the provincial capital at the invitation of the municipal government, the two sides quickly established friendly relations.

In order to better carry out foreign cultural exchanges and receive foreign guests, the provincial capital

Not only did they build the Songting Foreign Guest Hotel,

A small train was also set up in the Children's Park to welcome foreign guests, with Young Pioneers serving as train conductors to welcome their arrival.

A new batch of Japanese foreign guests will arrive within two weeks.

Although the foreign guests arriving this time will bring an interpreter, the little train segment urgently needs a comrade who knows Japanese to teach the Young Pioneers to sing two Japanese songs.

"Dad, I brought the person here."

Chen Jinyue's voice came from outside the door.

Chen Tuo looked out the door and saw a tall and handsome young man standing at the door.
Although he looks dusty, his elegance cannot be concealed. He is a very energetic young man.

"Hello uncle, hello aunt!"

Chen Luyang greeted politely and said, "It's my first time visiting you. I bought some fruit. I don't know if you and your aunt like it~"

Before I finished speaking,

Mother Chen walked over and said embarrassedly:

"You kid, we asked you to come to our house for help, why did you buy fruit!"

"Come inside, it's hot outside."

Mother Chen took the fruit and looked at Chen Luyang carefully.

So lovely……

More energetic than in the photo!
No wonder my daughter came home and said she had found a storefront for the restaurant.

This look is enough to be a movie star!
Chen Luyang walked into the house politely and sat on the sofa.

Just an idea in my mind.

Chen Jinyue’s family is really wealthy!

The paintings on the wall, the fan next to it, the sofa on the floor, and the chest of drawers are all good things.

And there is Chen Tuo in front of him.

I don’t know why, it was the first time I met Chen Jinyue’s father, but he looked so familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere!
"Xiao Chen, I've heard that you are very good at Japanese. Where did you learn it?" Chen Tuo asked kindly.

“I learned it from the radio.”

Chen Luyang was prepared: "My dad listens to Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties every night, but the radio at home is not working well and it always plays the wrong channel."

"I often tuned in to Japanese radio stations and listened to them. I also bought some books and learned a little bit."

Chen Tuo nodded and got straight to the point: "Yueyue should have told you."

"The Cultural Bureau is currently conducting international cultural exchanges and will be hosting a Japanese tourist group in a few days. I hope you can teach the Young Pioneers a few words of Japanese, and preferably a couple of songs in Japanese."

"Do you have any suitable song recommendations?"
