Chapter 194: The First Meal of '93

~4 min read 645 words

Xu Xiaoguang sent everyone home. After Su Xinghui returned home, Guo Suhua asked: "Have you eaten?"

Su Xinghui said: "I have, I ate with Zhang Cheng and Xu Xiaoguang."

Guo Suhua said irritably: "You haven't been home for over a month, and now that you're back, you still eat out. Do you treat this home as a hotel, only coming back to sleep?"

His mother's dissatisfaction made Su Xinghui realize that he was indeed a bit in the wrong. He quickly said to Guo Suhua with a cheeky grin: "Mom, don't be angry. I came back in Xu Xiaoguang's car today and had some business with Zhang Cheng, so we ate together. I can rest for two days this time, and I won't go out to eat for these two days. I'll cook for you and Dad. How about that?"

Guo Suhua looked at him and couldn't help but laugh: "That's more like it. Your sister's family is coming tomorrow, so we'll all be waiting for you to cook for us!"

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Sure."

Su Wenjun, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, couldn't help but laugh as he listened to the conversation between mother and son.

Just then, the phone rang. Su Wenjun picked it up casually, said one sentence, and then handed the receiver to Su Xinghui: "It's for you, Zhang Cheng is looking for you."

Su Xinghui picked up the phone, said "Hello," and heard Zhang Cheng say: "My dad said, you guys can come over at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Su Xinghui said: "Alright, we'll be there on time tomorrow morning."

After hanging up, Su Xinghui called Chen Hongfu's house to tell him the time for going to Zhang Kaishan's house tomorrow. Chen Hongfu said he would definitely be there on time tomorrow morning, and then hung up.

Guo Suhua said: "You're really busy now. You've had non-stop calls since you got back, and you're going out again tomorrow morning, right? It looks like we can't count on that cooking you promised."

Su Xinghui said: "How could that be? It won't take long to go to County Magistrate Zhang's house tomorrow. I'll definitely be back to cook at noon."

Su Wenjun said: "Old Guo, say less. Our son is doing serious business. Don't you want our son to have achievements?"

Guo Suhua, of course, knew that Su Xinghui was doing serious business, but she was a woman, and having not seen her son for so long, she had to nag a bit. After hearing Su Wenjun's words, she said to her son: "Xinghui, go ahead and do your business. Don't worry about the cooking, Mom will do it, it's fine."

Su Xinghui shook his head and said: "No, I will definitely cook a meal for you tomorrow."

Guo Suhua heard this and smiled happily.

Su Wenjun said: "Then don't rush, and don't delay your serious business. Isn't your Chen Shuji going to report work to County Magistrate Zhang?"

Su Xinghui laughed: "It's fine, Dad. Our township's work report was already sent to the county. What else is there to report? Chen Shuji just wants to get closer to the leader. It won't take too long tomorrow."

Although Su Wenjun hadn't been in the officialdom, the hospital had commonalities with it. His colleagues would also try every possible way to find opportunities to talk more with the Dean. He could understand this logic, so he nodded and went back to reading the newspaper.

Early the next morning, Su Xinghui got up. He went for a run to the market, bought a basket of vegetables, and after breakfast, he went to the gate of the County Committee compound. It was exactly 7:50, and Chen Hongfu was already waiting there.

The two went to Zhang Kaishan's house together. After entering, Zhang Kaishan received them cordially. ===== CHAPTER 196 =====
