Chapter 236: A unique dinner party (Thanks to czh555 for the alliance leader)
After dinner, Chen Huihong created a 4-person "Loving Family" group, saying that it would be convenient to arrange meals and tea parties in the group in the future.
Then Chen Huihong started a group video call.
Qin Huai usually didn't participate in this video call.
Since extending his working hours, the time Qin Huai spent on his phone every day became very little. He went from a heavy phone-dependent patient to a super tough guy who would occasionally leave his phone in the locker and forget to take it. Every day, he would only play with his phone for a while before going to bed and after getting up, and would "approve memorials" and like/comment on Moments.
In stark contrast to the busy Qin Huai was Chen Huihong.
Chen Huihong was even more idle than Ouyang. The reason she was able to bring Chen Huihui to Gusu to play for such a long time this time was because she, like Ouyang, went on strike. After waking up, Chen Huihong deeply felt that work was a shackle. Anyway, she had money, so there was no need to be trapped by work. The neighborhood committee wasn't a serious neighborhood committee either; it was established with her own money, and in a sense, it was more like an owners' committee.
So Chen Huihong threw her work to her dear brother, saying that she would definitely bring enough shortbread for the family to spend the New Year when she went back from Gusu, and ran away on strike with Chen Yingjun's expectations and trust.
But Chen Huihong wasn't a salted fish like Ouyang. When Ouyang was at work, he was best at skipping work to eat something good at Yunzhong Canteen. Chen Huihong was the well-known enthusiastic citizen Chen Nushi in Yunzhong Residential Area.
Wanting to make Chen Nushi idle was even more uncomfortable than making Chen Nushi pay for fruit out of her own pocket.
It just so happened that Huihui was an obedient and sensible child, writing homework seriously every day, going out to play happily, strictly following the rules for playing with the tablet set by Chen Huihong without playing for an extra minute, and the homework she wrote didn't have many wrong questions, leaving Chen Huihong with no room to manage the child.
After all, Chen Huihong's educational philosophy was not to "chicken" the child; Huihui was happy, and that was fine. Our family had money, and all of Mom's money in the future would be left to Huihui. If it wasn't enough, she would go to her uncle's to pluck some more.
In extreme boredom, Chen Huihong set her sights on Luo Jun.
She would initiate group video calls whenever she had nothing to do, caring about the empty-nested old bird.
Qu Jing joined the video call when she saw the situation, and the three spirits gathered together to discuss Wang Gensheng, Gong Liang, and Chen Gong whenever they had nothing to do.
Everyone knew Wang Gensheng, and even Luo Jun had seen him in Yunzhong Canteen. Only Chen Huihong had met Gong Liang, having met him once when taking dim sum.
However, Gong Liang was a well-known figure, and there were plenty of channels to learn about him. Just find a time when Dong Shi wasn't at work and ask him what kind of person Mr. Gong was, and Dong Shi could talk to you for two hours without stopping.
Only Chen Gong was very mysterious.
So mysterious that he only knew he was the life assistant of the overbearing president, and knew nothing about other information, and the side quest was also very abstract.
The task known was Chen Gong's wish; those who didn't know would think it was the wish of his boss, Han Guishan. He truly achieved being anxious about what the boss was anxious about, thinking about what the boss thought about, treating the boss's affairs as his own, and the boss's wish was his wish.
Such a mysterious spirit, who only appeared twice, made the trio very curious.
Well, actually, it was mainly Chen Huihong who was curious, after all, she was too bored.
Chen Huihong wanted to get some information about Chen Gong from Qin Huai, and Qin Huai also expressed that he was powerless. After all, although Chen Gong's illustration had been unlocked and there was a side quest, he really wasn't familiar with Chen Gong.
The only way Qin Huai increased his relationship with Chen Gong was to like his Moments.
Good Taste's annual summary, model figures of various departments, sales in A City hit a new high, Han Zong personally attended XX meetings, etc. Normal people wouldn't click in to see these forwards, nor would they like the Moments, but Qin Huai liked every single one of them.
Occasionally comment, send a few thumbs up.
Can't comment too much; commenting too much would give Chen Gong the illusion that he wanted to join Good Taste.
Time flew by and it was Sunday's dinner.
Actually, it wasn't a dinner party, but a thank-you banquet specifically made by Huang Shengli for Qu Jing to thank her for introducing a doctor to him.
Then, through some twists and turns that no one expected, the number of people at this thank-you banquet was a bit too many.
Qu Jing, Director Liu, Director Liu's daughter, Dr. Zhou who still had no name, Qin Huai, Huang Anyao, Ouyang, Chen Huihong, Chen Huihui, Wang Gensheng, Chen Juan, Xu Tuqiang, Uncle Qian, Grandma Ding.
A full 14 people!
Seeing this, I believe sharp friends have already discovered who the most abrupt person on this list is? That's right, it's Huang Anyao!
As for how Wang Gensheng, Chen Juan, Xu Tuqiang, Uncle Qian, and Grandma Ding joined this dinner party, all of this has to start from Friday.
After being reminded by Qu Jing, Wang Gensheng felt that a short stay in Gusu for half a month to a month was a good choice, so he decisively contacted an intermediary to rent a house in the residential area opposite Huang Ji Restaurant, which was the residential area where Qin Huai lived.
Then Uncle Wang and Chen Juan met Chen Huihong at the entrance of the residential area on Friday morning.
When they met, all three were a bit confused.
Everyone felt that this scene was not quite right. Under normal circumstances, the three should have met at the entrance of Yunzhong Canteen, not at the entrance of a residential area in Gusu.
Chen Huihong, who had nothing to do, suggested that since they were already here, it was estimated that they wouldn't be able to queue for a number to eat in the lobby at Huang Ji at 7:49 AM, but they would likely be able to buy a round of buns if they queued.
If Wang Gensheng and Chen Juan had nothing to do, why not go buy some buns together? Chen Huihong believed in Chen Huihui's self-control; she would definitely finish her homework before playing with the tablet.
Uncle Wang felt that this suggestion was very good, so the three, who were originally going to the supermarket to purchase daily necessities, changed their route to queue at the entrance of Huang Ji.
Then, while queuing, they met a series of familiar faces such as Xu Tuqiang, Uncle Qian, and Grandma Ding.
It made Uncle Wang confused. Uncle Wang almost wanted to take out his phone and call Qu Jing, wanting to consult whether getting old and confused made it easy to have hallucinations. How could he feel like he was back in Shanshi when he was staying in Gusu so well?
The same queuing.
The same customers.
The buns they were grabbing were also the same. (Uncle Wang didn't know that the buns and steamed buns during this period were made by Zheng Da and Zheng Siyuan)
What exactly is in Gusu? Why did everyone come here!
After communicating, Xu Tuqiang and others who were staying in hotels learned that there was such a good option as renting a house in the residential area, and immediately contacted the intermediary to rent a house.
The intermediary looked at the crowd of old men and old women, almost thinking that he had dreamed back to many years ago when selling houses. At that time, the house speculation group was also composed of a group of old men and old women, who bought houses as soon as they saw a good location.
Now this group of old men and old women saw a good location and rented houses as soon as they saw them.
Chen Huihong often organized group purchases when she was in Yunzhong Residential Area, opening some groups for cherries, durians, rice, flour, oil, etc. Now that she saw familiar people in a strange place, Chen Huihong felt that she could do it again, and directly opened a group for smart home decoration.
At this time, some people might say, isn't it a waste of money to decorate a rented house?
Yes, Chen Huihong also felt the same, so she spent two days after moving in to move the landlord with emotion and reason, and bought the house.
The grandpas and grandmas who participated in the group heard that Qin Huai would also come to Huang Ji for an exchange for a period of time in September, and immediately expressed that Gusu's scenery was beautiful and the climate was suitable, which was very suitable for vacationing before September. Buying a house very close to Huang Ji was also a rigid demand for vacationing.
The house rental group turned into a house purchase group.
Almost bought up the house prices in the residential area.
An old residential area suddenly traded so many houses, startling nearby residents to quickly inquire whether their area was going to be demolished, otherwise why did so many people come to buy houses in their residential area recently.
The houses in their residential area were not good, the property management was not good, old residential area, old houses, old location, subway not connected, bus inconvenient, and recently there were traffic jams nearby. Except for being close to Huang Ji, there were no benefits.
Being close to Huang Ji was not an advantage either; it was too easy to be tempted. The monthly pension was only that much. Sometimes, if you couldn't hold back and went in, the money for this month would be saved in vain. Now there was no worry about this; if you couldn't hold back, you couldn't get in. Huang Ji's queue was very long. Like Qian Zhongheng, who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he climbed up at 5 AM to queue at Huang Ji's entrance, and queued until noon just to eat, it was just an excuse for not being able to hold back, which could only deceive himself.
The grandpas and grandmas grouped together to move into the residential area with their bags, and started the daily routine of queuing to buy buns with small stools every morning.
As for how Xu Tuqiang, Uncle Qian, and Grandma Ding mixed into the dinner team...
Because the private room Huang Shengli reserved for Qu Jing was a 14-person private room.
Qu Jing went to work and rested normally these few days, and Chen Huihong happened to join the video call when initiating the group video call, chatting with Chen Huihong and Luo Jun.
The content of the three spirits' chat was basically the other three spirits. Since there was less to talk about Gong Liang and Chen Gong, the focus was actually on Wang Gensheng.
While chatting, Qu Jing remembered that there were still many empty seats in the private room for Sunday's meal, so why not invite Wang Gensheng and Chen Juan to eat together.
When she was not doing well in the human world, enthusiastic spirits helped her by sending dim sum to let her eat something good. Now that she could eat something good, it was right to pull a fellow kind and let Uncle Wang eat something good.
Wang Gensheng and Chen Juan joined the dinner party so luckily.
Uncle Wang had been upright, fair, and just, and never lied all these years, but that didn't mean he could hold back from showing off.
Wealth without returning to the hometown is like walking in the night in brocade clothes.
If you don't post on Moments when eating in Huang Ji's private room, wouldn't this meal be eaten in vain?
Of course, Uncle Wang also had reason.
He didn't understand why Qu Jing would call him. If it was just grabbing people from the morning running grandpa team, he had no advantage compared to others.
Xu Tuqiang and Uncle Qian also had a good relationship with Qu Jing. Before Qin Huai came to Huang Ji, Qu Jing went to Yunzhong Canteen for breakfast in the morning, and Xu Tuqiang and Uncle Qian would leave the good seat at table 9 closest to the window for Qu Jing. This relationship could not be underestimated.
Dean Ding also had a good relationship with Qu Jing. As a kindergarten principal with rich teaching experience, Grandma Ding was very good at greeting juniors. When she sent Huaihua honey to Qin Huai, she would occasionally bring a jar of ordinary honey to Qu Jing, hoping that Qu Jing could say a few good words for her in front of Qin Huai for the sake of the honey.
There were many children in the family, and no matter how many bags of fermented glutinous rice buns there were, they could all be eaten. One or two were not too few, and ten or eight bags were not too many.
Uncle Wang's reason made him not show off on Moments in advance, opening champagne halfway. Nor did he show off in the group; too many people made it easy to make enemies.
When he was chatting privately with Xu Tuqiang, he couldn't hold back and showed off.
Hearing that Wang Gensheng had a small stove to eat in Gusu, Xu Tuqiang's sky collapsed.
Obviously everyone went to queue at Huang Ji's entrance at 7 o'clock every morning, how did you kid overtake on a curve and eat the small stove again, and even sat in the private room to eat the small stove.
Why is the life of the one surnamed Wang so good?
And Xu Tuqiang, what was his biggest characteristic?
It wasn't that he loved eating Jiang Mi rice cakes, but that his skin was thick.
Xu Tuqiang was the number one person to borrow fermented glutinous rice buns in Yunzhong Residential Area, borrowing one each, borrowing a whole bag to see his daughter. Without a certain thickness of skin, he couldn't do such a thing.
Xu Tuqiang immediately chatted privately with Qu Jing, moving with emotion and reason, chatting from the fact that they were both firm believers in Jiang Mi rice cakes to the fact that Uncle Xu had been in poor health recently and wanted to go to your hospital to check if there were any physical examination packages recommended.
After pulling a bunch of things, he started to play the victim, saying that it was really not easy for me to queue to buy buns and steamed buns every morning. The happy time when I could eat buns after morning running in Yunzhong Canteen was really gone forever. I heard that Huang Ji's hot food was also very delicious, but Uncle Xu was old and couldn't compete with those young people. I haven't eaten Huang Ji's food since I came to Gusu for so long.
Finally, the map was revealed, asking if he could spare a seat for Sunday's dinner.
Uncle Xu could endure hardship; if there was no seat, he could hold the bowl and stand and eat.
Qu Jing certainly couldn't let Xu Tuqiang hold the bowl and stand and eat, so she agreed immediately.
Then Uncle Qian also came to play the victim.
Grandma Ding came to send honey.
Xu Tuqiang added a massage chair.
Uncle Qian accompanied a foot bath bucket.
Xu Tuqiang mocked Uncle Qian's foot bath bucket for not being as valuable as his massage chair, which made Uncle Qian add a head therapy instrument.
Grandma Ding felt that she couldn't lose, so she added a humidifier and an air purifier.
The three people directly competed.
After Qin Huai heard about this, he wanted to push Dean Qin's WeChat to the three of them, telling them not to send it anymore. The one-bedroom small house Qu Jing rented couldn't hold so many things.
If you want to consume next time, just remit money to the Sanmalu Children's Welfare Institute, let Dean Qin make the welfare institute bigger and stronger, annex nearby welfare institutes, and let children in other county welfare institutes also taste Dean Qin's broken sweet rice balls.
In short, although the process was bizarre, the result was that the people at Sunday's dinner were all Qin Huai's acquaintances.
That was, Dr. Zhou and Director Liu and her daughter were not very familiar with Qin Huai.
But it didn't matter. After Qin Huai introduced himself, everyone would be familiar.
Dr. Zhou and Director Liu and her daughter would make themselves familiar with Qin Huai.
Sunday, 1:27 PM.
In private room 888 of Huang Ji, Qin Huai and Huang Anyao were already sitting inside waiting.
The dinner time was set at 1:45 PM. During normal business hours, Qin Huai had to work, so he could only eat at staggered times. The menu was booked in advance, no need to order, and the food could be served at the time.
Qin Huai glanced at the phone message: "Qu Jing and Director Liu and the others are already riding bicycles. Ouyang and the others are still in the residential area. Huihui's test paper hasn't been finished yet, and it will take another 10 minutes."
"Everyone can arrive on time."
Huang Anyao rubbed his hands nervously: "My dad asked me to entertain Dr. Qu and her friends. What should I do if I don't entertain them well?"
"I'm really not good at this."
Qin Huai glanced at the 【Sunday Huang Ji 888 Private Room Dinner】 group.
13 people, forgot to pull Huang Anyao.
"Don't worry," Qin Huai comforted. "Let them entertain you."
This group was pulled on Friday, and everyone had been chatting in the group for two days.
Director Liu had already pondered what flavor of aromatherapy to buy for Qu Jing.
Huang Anyao: "Ah?"
