Chapter 248: Dinner Party and Su Mei

Rolling Steel Factory

A huge red banner was written with slogans celebrating victory, and the broadcast praised the heroic deeds of the ancestors.

The faces of all the workers were filled with pride, and the vigorous spirit made people's hearts surge.

Although material goods were scarce in this era, the mental outlook was very full.

Everyone was striving for the construction of the motherland and was full of hope for the future of the country.

To commemorate the great victory, the Rolling Steel Factory held a dinner party and cultural performance.

As the deputy director of the cafeteria, Cao Weiguo cooked himself, and the dishes for the dinner party were unanimously praised.

Especially the sweet and sour pork and chicken stewed with mushrooms; the hearty dishes full of oil and water made everyone praise them endlessly.

After lunch, Cao Weiguo had just returned to the office and sat down when the door was pushed open.

Looking up, he found it was Deputy Factory Director Li walking in with high spirits.

"Weiguo, you've worked hard for today's dinner party."

Deputy Factory Director Li smiled and took a pack of "China" cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out, and handed it to Cao Weiguo.

"Is this a special supply?"

Cao Weiguo took the cigarette handed over by Deputy Factory Director Li, looking at it, it was different from ordinary China.

This kind of cigarette could not be seen on the market, and even with money, it could not be bought.

Deputy Factory Director Li took another stack of tickets from his pocket and handed them to Cao Weiguo:

"The workers were very satisfied with this dinner party, and the leaders were also very satisfied."

"These industrial coupons are a reward from the factory for you."

Cao Weiguo took the industrial coupons with both hands, his expression excited as he thanked him loudly: "Thank you, Factory Director! Thank you, Organization!"

After giving the reward, Deputy Factory Director Li began to talk about business:

"Can you get more of the chickens used for today's dinner party?"

Cao Weiguo said with difficulty, "These one hundred and twenty chickens were all the chickens in the village."

Deputy Factory Director Li asked again, "What about other villages?"

Cao Weiguo pondered, "Hard to say, but I can go look."

Deputy Factory Director Li nodded, "Hmm, I know that supplies are tight now and procurement work is difficult, but the reception work for the exchange meeting is very important, you still need to put in more effort. Don't worry, as long as the work is done well, the factory won't treat you unfairly."

Cao Weiguo replied solemnly, "Factory Director, don't worry, even if I run my legs off, I will try my best to complete the task."

"Good! I like this spirit of yours to dare to fight and struggle!"

Deputy Factory Director Li patted Cao Weiguo's shoulder happily, saying as he took out a stack of industrial coupons from his pocket.

"These industrial coupons are a personal reward for you."

"Work hard, I have other rewards for completing the task."

Cao Weiguo patted his chest excitedly to guarantee, "Thank you, Factory Director! Guarantee to complete the task!"

In the afternoon, while watching the cultural performance, a security section officer ran over to notify Cao Weiguo.

He said there was a female comrade named Su Mei at the gate looking for him.

Hearing that Su Mei had come, Cao Weiguo didn't delay; he asked for leave from Deputy Factory Director Li and then rushed to the gate without stopping.

From afar, he saw Su Mei standing outside the gate, looking pretty; seeing him coming, she waved with a smile.

Cao Weiguo walked to Su Mei, "Su Mei, you've been transferred to the Repair Factory."

Su Mei smiled prettily, "Transferred today, I came to find you after finishing the procedures. I didn't expect you to have become a deputy director. If our classmates knew, they would definitely be envious."

Cao Weiguo said modestly, "Envious of what? It's called a deputy director, but actually, it's just managing a cafeteria. Let's not chat outside, go to my house and sit for a while, I'll cook myself and make you a few hearty dishes."

Su Mei pointed to the Rolling Steel Factory, "You're not working?"

Cao Weiguo smiled, "I've already asked for leave when I came out. An old classmate has come, I must show some hospitality."

Su Mei patted Cao Weiguo's shoulder happily, "That's decent."

Cao Weiguo returned to the Rolling Steel Factory to ride his bicycle, carrying Su Mei back to the Sihe Academy.

Seeing Cao Weiguo bring back a pretty girl, the neighbors were filled with curiosity.

Guessing the relationship between Su Mei and Cao Weiguo, they wanted to go up and ask but couldn't open their mouths.

Cao Weiguo didn't give the neighbors a chance to ask, and quickly returned home with Su Mei.

"Wife, we have a guest at home."

Hearing Cao Weiguo's shout, Song Yulan walked out quickly to greet them.

Seeing the young and cute Su Mei, Song Yulan couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Wife, this is my classmate, Su Mei."

"Su Mei, this is my wife, Song Yulan."

Su Mei was a bit stunned after seeing Song Yulan, then greeted her with a bright smile:

"Hello, Sister-in-law, I am Cao Weiguo's classmate, Su Mei."

Song Yulan greeted with a smile, "Hello, Comrade Su Mei, please come in."

Su Mei was invited into the house, looking at the bright room and brand-new furniture, praising them endlessly.

Song Yulan entertained her enthusiastically, taking out melon seeds and candies, and brewing a pot of tea.

The three sat in the room chatting, mainly Cao Weiguo and Su Mei talking about interesting things in school.

Seeing the sun was about to set, Cao Weiguo rolled up his sleeves:

"Su Mei, what do you want to eat? Tell me and I'll make it for you?"

Su Mei smiled and said, "I'll follow the host's convenience, I'll eat whatever you make."

"That's what you said, then I'll improvise."

Cao Weiguo smiled and walked into the kitchen, using all his skills.

Su Mei and Song Yulan, who couldn't sit still, went to the kitchen to help, their eyes lighting up as they watched Cao Weiguo's exquisite knife skills.

Such eyes made Song Yulan even more nervous; although it was the first time the two met, she always felt that this Su Mei had bad intentions.

Cao Weiguo used his superb culinary skills, plus rich ingredients.

Soon he made dishes that were colorful, fragrant, and delicious, and the fragrance permeated with the wind.

The neighbors who returned to the courtyard after work couldn't help but swallow their saliva as they smelled the fragrance.

Soon, the news that Cao Weiguo had brought back a pretty girl also spread.

Hearing this, Shazhu was full of jealousy; when he went to the Deaf Old Lady's room, he couldn't help but peek at the Cao house.

When he saw Su Mei, his heart suddenly fluttered.

Too pretty!

Too cute!

This is simply a little fairy!

Resisting the urge to rush into the Cao house, Shazhu walked into the Deaf Old Lady's room with a chaotic heart.

"Grandma, do you know who the girl visiting at the Cao house is?"

"What is her relationship with Cao Weiguo?"

Hearing Shazhu's words, the Deaf Old Lady asked with a smile, "Taken a fancy to that girl?"

Shazhu smiled with a red face, "What are you talking about? I don't even know that girl, just think she's quite pretty."

The Deaf Old Lady said with a smile, "If you've taken a fancy to her, then you have, what's there to be embarrassed about? I listened for a while in the courtyard, that girl seems to be named Su Mei, and she's a classmate of Cao Weiguo."

"If my dear grandson has taken a fancy to her, then you must hurry to pursue her. With your ability, as long as you put your heart into it, you will definitely be able to marry her into the house and have a big fat boy for you."

These words made Shazhu blush, and his heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.

Hearing that Cao Weiguo had brought a pretty girl back to the Sihe Academy, the single young men in the courtyard were energized.

One by one, they walked into the backyard to peek, and then were conquered by Su Mei's beauty.

Liu Guangtian, Yan Jiefang... one by one, they were drooling with greed.

It's just that because of Cao Weiguo, no one dared to run to the Cao house to strike up a conversation. ===== CHAPTER 250 =====
