Chapter 2395: Keeping Guests

"Come in, come in!" Dong Fengying turned around, opened the door, and enthusiastically greeted everyone to come in.

Baolong—that is, Brother Chen—Hongyu, and Haifeng, these young people, had blank minds and didn't know how they entered the house.

In this era, television technology was relatively backward. Due to the limitations of cathode ray tube technology and the lack of color calibration, the portraits on the TV screen were somewhat distorted.

And newspapers, color printing technology was considered mature now, but it was impossible for serious newspapers to use color printing, so the distortion of photos was even worse. Therefore, if you didn't pay attention to Zhou Andong often, it was absolutely impossible to recognize him easily if you saw him in person for the first time.

This is like those celebrities in later generations. In the era of information explosion, their news and photos are overwhelming, but if there is no grand scene of being surrounded, and no large group of so-called security personnel following, even if you happen to meet them on the road, you might not be able to recognize them at a glance.

What's more, these young people like Baolong wouldn't specifically pay attention to Zhou Andong's news for no reason. Because Zhou Andong was too far away from them. You don't pay me, why should I pay attention to you? If I had that time, it would be better for us to play a few rounds of poker.

Therefore, when they saw Zhou Andong, they didn't recognize him. But they knew Feng Ermin's hometown was Jiangzhou, and Zhou Andong was also from Jiangzhou. Since he was a visitor from their hometown and was sitting in a Mercedes-Benz to visit the Feng family, they actually had some guesses in their hearts, but they never dared to think in that direction.

After all, they had been neighbors for more than ten years, and they had always been ordinary. Suddenly, Zhou Andong drove a big Mercedes to visit the Feng family and was also Feng Ermin's childhood friend. This was simply unbelievable. Therefore, they directly excluded the correct answer.

It wasn't until Feng Ermin introduced Zhou Andong to Shang Peixin that their brains began to shut down, their thinking stopped completely, and only one thought remained in their hearts: 'F*ck, this person is actually Zhou Andong, and he is Feng Ermin's childhood friend.'

This fact really made them feel shocked, because they had been neighbors with Feng Ermin for more than ten years, but they had never heard him mention his relationship with Zhou Andong. If it were two or three years ago, it wouldn't matter if he didn't say it.

Because at that time, Zhou Andong was still unknown, just an ordinary employee of Jiangzhou Winery. Even if Feng Ermin said it, they wouldn't know him, and they wouldn't be interested. But in the past two years, Zhou Andong's limelight had been unmatched.

Feng Ermin actually didn't mention his relationship with Zhou Andong at all. This mouth was really tight enough. If it were them, having such an awesome childhood friend, they would probably have been bragging about it every day.

Zhou Andong entered the house and scanned the surroundings. The area of the room was not very large, about 60 square meters, but in this era, there was no 'common area' for houses, so the area was real.

The layout of the house was also simple and clear, with a bedroom in the north and south. Feng Ermin and his wife lived in one of them, and Dong Fengying and her grandson lived in the other. A family of four was completely enough, not crowded at all.

And there were also a living room and a kitchen. Although the space was not that big, compared with most families today, such living conditions could be said to be quite good. "Come, come, come, sit!"

Feng Yumin enthusiastically greeted Zhou Andong and Gao Zhen to sit on the sofa, and then, as if performing magic, she took out a box of Peony cigarettes from somewhere. She skillfully tore open the packaging, handed the cigarettes to Zhou Andong and Gao Zhen, and then distributed one to Baolong, Hongyu, and Haifeng each.

Baolong took the cigarette and said: "Sister Min, if there's nothing else, we'll leave first!"

"Don't go!" Feng Yumin walked to the door and reached out to stop the crowd who were preparing to leave: "I already said, eat dumplings here, why are you leaving!"

Zhou Andong knew very well that if he didn't speak, even if the host, Feng Yumin, wanted to keep people, she probably wouldn't be able to. So, he smiled and opened his mouth.

"Brothers, Ermin and I are childhood friends who grew up together. You guys are Ermin's neighbors for more than ten years. We are all not outsiders, so don't be so polite."

At this point, Zhou Andong paused, and then continued: "As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. You are neighbors with Ermin. If there is anything in the family in the future, you have to rely on you to help more. So, no one is allowed to leave, stay and have a drink together."

"That's right!" Feng Ermin walked out of the bedroom, put several stools in the living room, and then said to the crowd with a smile, "Brother Chen, Hongyu, none of you are allowed to leave. Brother Dong is the factory director of the winery. I can't drink him under the table alone. You must stay, we have to unite and drink him under the table!"

Since it had been said to this point, and Zhou Andong had also spoken, Baolong and the others didn't insist.

Although they were not childhood friends with Zhou Andong, being able to sit at a table and drink was enough for them to brag for two years.

"Yumin!" Dong Fengying shouted in the kitchen: "The dumplings are almost ready, you take the stewed chicken out."

"Coming!" Feng Yumin responded, then bent down, took out four plates from the bowl rack, and then took them to the sink to wash them carefully. After washing, she wiped the water on the plates with a clean towel.

The lid of the steamer kept jumping under the heat, making a 'hu-hu' sound. Feng Yumin turned around and came to the steamer, gently lifting the lid. In an instant, a burst of heat sprayed out, and the small kitchen was instantly filled with steaming heat, which then drifted out of the open window.

Pei Fengyuan placed the cold dishes on the table, wiped her hands on her apron, turned around, and shouted to Feng Ermin: "Ermin, come and help me move the table, it's all ready, it's time to eat."

Feng Ermin stood up, walked quickly to the dining table, and together with Pei Fengyuan, carefully moved the table toward the living room to make more space. Chen Baolong and the others saw this and also stood up one after another, picked up the stools, and placed them next to the table.

"The table is a bit small!" Feng Ermin frowned, scanned the people in the house, and said: "With so many people, I'm afraid it won't fit!"

Dong Fengying smiled and said: "You young people drink and chat, and your sister and Fengyuan and I will eat on the coffee table with the children."

Feng Yumin brought the steaming dumplings to the table, and then greeted Zhou Andong with a full face of smiles: "Dongzi, come and sit, if you don't sit, they won't sit either!"

Zhou Andong didn't stand on ceremony either, greeted everyone with a smile: "Come, come, come, everyone hurry up and sit!"

Feng Ermin took out iced Yanjing beer from the refrigerator, but the refrigerator was a bit small, and the refrigerated and frozen compartments only had enough to ice a dozen bottles: "These are the cold ones, everyone drink first."

After speaking, he put the beer on the ground, then turned and moved a box of beer from the wall. He first put more than ten bottles of beer into the refrigerator to ice, and then put all the rest in the kitchen sink and filled it with water. Although the effect would be much worse, it was better than hot beer.

Zhou Andong took the beer handed over by Chen Baolong: "Why hasn't brother-in-law come back yet?"

Feng Yumin brought two plates of dumplings to the coffee table: "You guys drink first, don't wait for him."

"I'm back!" As soon as Feng Yumin's words fell, Shang Peixin's shout sounded at the door.
