Chapter 135
"Slurp!"
Zhou Andong took a big slurp and muttered to Gu Bing, "Eat quickly, if the noodles get soggy, they won't taste good."
Gu Bing put down his chopsticks. "I ask you, what's so special about these noodles? Why didn't I eat it out?"
Zhou Andong blinked and looked at Gu Bing. "This specialness is not for you to eat, but for you to see."
"See?" Gu Bing looked down at the noodles in the bowl. "Isn't this just a bowl of ordinary beef noodles? Can you still see flowers?"
Zhou Andong pointed to the beef on top. "Didn't you find anything different?"
"Isn't this beef?" Gu Bing picked up a piece of beef, looked at it carefully, and then took a bite. "It's beef."
Zhou Andong resisted the urge to laugh and said seriously, "The difference between this noodle shop and other noodle shops is that there is a lot of beef." This guy emphasized the word "special" very heavily.
Gu Bing's face suddenly turned black. "The specialness you mentioned is that his noodles have a lot of beef?"
"Yeah, isn't there a lot of beef in his noodles?" Zhou Andong waited with an innocent look, then waved his hand. "Oh, eat quickly, the noodles will really get soggy in a while."
"..."
Gu Bing looked at Zhou Andong speechlessly. His stomach rumbled, he picked up the noodles, took a fierce bite, and his eyes kept looking up, glaring at Zhou Andong.
"Hiccup!" Slurping, in a few minutes, Zhou Andong finished a bowl of noodles, then let out a hiccup. "I'm done, you eat slowly, I'm leaving."
Gu Bing waved his hand impatiently. "Get lost, get lost, get lost!"
"Alright!" Zhou Andong stood up and left.
After Gu Bing finished eating, he remembered that the bastard Zhou Andong didn't pay. This dog thing, said he would treat me to dinner, treat me to noodles, and didn't pay before running away.
Tanghezi, Zhao Guifen cooked several dishes and stewed meat, more than the dishes made during the New Year.
The TV was on, and the popular TV series "Editorial Department Story" was playing. Zhao Guifen placed a bottle of loose white liquor on the table, wiped her hands on her body, took off her shoes, and got on the kang.
"Today is a good day. Anbin became general manager, and our family must celebrate well." Zhao Guifen poured wine into the bowls in front of the family of four. "I said long ago that Zhou Andong going to university is nothing great. In the future, my eldest son will definitely be better than him. Look, I was right, wasn't I?"
"..."
"Good evening, viewers in front of the TV, welcome to watch Jiangzhou News Broadcast."
"Broken news, I'm going to change the channel." Zhou Anlei put down his chopsticks and got off the ground to change the channel.
"Come back!" Zhou Xiaode picked up the wine glass and took a sip, his posture as the head of the family was very sufficient. "Your brother is now the general manager, so he should watch more news and pay attention to national affairs, so that he can gain knowledge and manage the workers below well."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Guifen scolded dissatisfiedly. "Little calf, come back quickly. If you had half the ability of your brother, I would be able to close my eyes when I die."
"Mom, Dad!" Zhou Anbin hadn't drunk this wine yet, but he was a bit drunk. "By the end of this year, our family will also buy a big color TV, and piss off Second Uncle's family. Let Zhou Andong see, although I, Zhou Anbin, haven't been to university, I am more promising than him."
"According to the reporter of this station, this morning, Jiangzhou Winery was reformed, and Jiangzhou Yugong Wine Industry Co., Ltd. was established, holding a grand unveiling ceremony.
Jiangzhou City Secretary Cheng Zhanjun, Deputy Mayor Zuo Peiming and other leaders came to the scene in person, attended this opening ceremony with mainstream media such as City Daily, City Evening News, City TV Station, etc., and witnessed this exciting moment together."
With a "squeak," Zhou Anbin took a sip of wine and picked up a piece of stewed meat to put in his mouth. "If I were in Jiangzhou Winery, I would have this opportunity, and I would definitely be able to get an official position, or at least get a deputy section chief or something. Look at Zhou Andong again, he is really mud that can't support the wall. It is estimated that he will be like this for the rest of his life. But being a small worker is also good, living a peaceful life for a lifetime, quite good."
"At ten o'clock, the celebration ceremony officially began. The company's general manager and factory director, Comrade Zhou Andong, delivered a passionate speech, introduced the basic situation of Jiangzhou Yugong Wine Industry Co., Ltd., and expressed gratitude to the guests present. Subsequently, city leaders such as Cheng Zhanjun and Zuo Peiming delivered speeches respectively, and cut the ribbon for the unveiling ceremony with the company's Party Branch Secretary Gu Bing and General Manager and Factory Director Andong."
"Clatter!" The chopsticks in Zhou Anbin's hand fell on the table. Looking at the screen of Zhou Andong accepting the interview on TV, he had a look of disbelief. The meat he was eating suddenly didn't feel fragrant anymore.
For a time, there was no sound in the room. Looking at the screen of Zhou Andong laughing and talking with city leaders, it felt so dazzling.
"My brother became factory director, and also general manager. Jiangzhou Yugong Wine is the product launched by my brother. He also acquired Jinli County Winery." Zhou Anqin's shouting came from the west courtyard.
Zhou Xiaode, Zhao Guifen, Zhou Anbin, and Zhou Anlei, this family of four, felt even worse.
"Xiaobei, take out the firecrackers that weren't set off during the New Year, and set them all off to celebrate." Zhou Anqin's voice came again.
"Pop!" Zhao Guifen threw the chopsticks on the table with a livid face. "Don't eat, Second, turn off the TV, what's good about broken news."
"Crackling!" Deafening firecrackers sounded in the west courtyard.
At this time, Yuan Liying's voice came again. "What are you two doing? Your brother just became general manager and factory director, what's so great about it? Still setting off firecrackers, why don't you go to heaven, hurry into the room to eat."
Yuan Liying's words were like one slap after another, hitting Zhao Guifen's face. Yuan Liying was pointing at the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree, making her feel that her face was burning.
Li Jiutang was drinking at home. Seeing Jiangzhou News, he was stunned for a long time and muttered. "Our Tanghezi finally produced a character. Before, I still underestimated this child Dongzi."
Overnight, in Tanghezi, from eighty-year-old old people to six or seven-year-old children, everyone knew that Zhou Andong had become an official. Neighbors who were close all ran to the house to congratulate.
Starting after eight o'clock in the morning, the family members didn't stop. Zhou Andong's grandparents and uncle and aunt all came over. Around eleven o'clock, his aunt and uncle, aunt and uncle rode bicycles and arrived.
The family had never been so lively, and Zhou Xiaoxin's spirit had never been so good. Seeing that it was noon, Yuan Liying was busy with lunch. There was still a lot of game meat Zhou Andong brought back before the New Year and meat sent by Jian Qiu, so there was no need to buy it.
They were lively here, but the east courtyard was deserted. Listening to the bustling voices in the west courtyard, Zhao Guifen was so angry.
"Anbin also became general manager, why didn't his aunt and uncle and uncle come? What does it mean? Look down on you, this eldest brother, and me, this eldest sister-in-law?"
