The dinner was over.
Zhang Hexuan accompanied the leaders in the living room to drink tea and chat.
As they chatted, everyone was shocked by Zhang Hexuan's profound knowledge.
Especially his unique analysis of the domestic and international situation, which was clearer and more detailed than the reports they made at the meeting.
Even Bureau Chief Wang was enlightened after hearing that!
"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Never in my dreams would I have thought that Little Zhang, as a bystander, would actually have such a comprehensive and unique analysis of the current situation. You're even more thorough than us leaders!”
"It's true. There are some angles and directions that we didn't even think of before.”
"Zhang Hexuan, if I didn't see you and heard your words, I would definitely think that you're a knowledgeable old scholar!”
Everyone burst into laughter.
That's right, this sentence was a joke, but it was more of a compliment.
A young man who had just turned eighteen had such a unique way of thinking.
Even Bureau Chief Wang was full of praises for him. He had a promising future.
"Little Zhang, you're so young. You shouldn't have such a rich knowledge," Superintendent Wu couldn't help but ask. Where did you learn all this from? How did you come up with it?"
"I don't think knowledge has much to do with age," Zhang Hexuan smiled.”
In fact, his understanding of the current situation came from the modern history textbooks in high school.
As they had experienced this period of history, they naturally chatted in an orderly manner.
Time passed quickly, and the sun had already set.
Director Wu had a case to rush back to deal with, so he didn't have time to send Zhang Hexuan home.
Chief Wang asked Secretary Chen to drive Zhang Hexuan home and asked him to bring back the leftovers from the kitchen.
There were whole chickens and ducks, as well as beef and mutton.
One had to know that beef and mutton might not even be able to be bought with money outside.
Zhang Hexuan was overjoyed.
On the way back, Secretary Chen looked at Zhang Hexuan in the rearview mirror and said with a smile,"Comrade Zhang Hexuan, it's been a long time since I've seen the bureau chief eat so happily. Moreover, I've never heard him praise someone like this before. Today is the first time. It seems that your cooking skills are not simple!”
"But I'm very curious. You work in the street office. How can you cook?”
" I've always liked to study recipes since I was young." Zhang Hexuan smiled." I've seen a lot of them, so I naturally learned them."”
Actually, what he wanted to say was that cooking was not a big deal. I'm also proficient in martial arts and medicine.
However, they had yet to encounter a chance to show it off. Otherwise, everyone's jaws would have dropped.
Not long after, the car arrived at the entrance of the alley.
After Zhang Hexuan got out of the car, he took all kinds of meat that he had brought back from the chief's house and sent Secretary Chen off. Then, he walked toward the house.
In the 1960s, ordinary people could only eat some meat during the New Year. Usually, they could not even think about it and could not eat it at all.
When the people in the courtyard saw Zhang Hexuan walking in with a few bags full of meat in his hands, their eyes were all wide open.
"Oh my god, chicken, duck, fish, and beef and mutton? Zhang Hexuan, did you rob the meat factory?”
"This cost a lot of money! Where did he get so many hostages?"
Third Uncle walked over and stared at the meat in Zhang Hexuan's hand. He asked enviously,"Little Zhang, where did you go? Where did this meat come from? Come, give some to Third Uncle. I'll help you carry it to the kitchen. It looks quite heavy.”
"There's only two steps left. I don't need your help." Zhang Hexuan said coldly.”
Third Uncle continued shamelessly," It looks especially heavy. I was thinking that you're so young. What if you're tired from carrying it?" Little Zhang, the weather is still so hot. You brought back so much meat. Can you finish it? If you can't finish it, it'll go bad."
"It's a pity that it's broken. Do you need Third Uncle to help you share some of the burden?”
When Zhang Hexuan heard this, he almost laughed out loud.
The Third Master, Yan Bugui, was not only an old man but also a teacher at the Second Primary School. However, he did not have the composure of a teacher. He even took advantage of the situation and did not look like a teacher at all.
Zhang Hexuan smiled and said,"Sure! If you want to share the burden, you can buy it with money. We're all neighbors in the same courtyard, so I'll give you a much cheaper price.”
Third Uncle was immediately unhappy. You already said that we're neighbors from the same courtyard, and you're still talking about money? Wasn't this a little too much of an outsider? Speaking of which, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to eat it and it would go bad, so I helped you share the burden.”
"Do you think I want to take advantage of you? Or what?"
"I'm not that embarrassing!"
Zhang Hexuan said coldly," If you want to eat meat, then buy it with tickets and money. If you don't want to buy it, then stop talking nonsense. Go away!"”
Third Uncle was so angry that he almost fainted.
He had never expected Zhang Hexuan to be so disrespectful to the elderly.
It was just some meat. Not only did she want tickets from him, but she also wanted money from him. Was she crazy?
Third Uncle flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his waist, and left angrily.
The onlookers sighed and did not say anything. They just stared at the meat in Zhang Hexuan's hand with envy.
Chicken, duck, fish, and meat were not bad. As long as one had some money, they could buy them at the market.
However, beef and mutton were different. It was difficult for ordinary people to buy them even if they had money. This was because they were specially reserved for the leaders, so they did not even have the chance to taste them.
……
When it was time for dinner, the smell of meat wafted out of Zhang Hexuan's kitchen and into Third Uncle's house with the wind.
Third Uncle's family was sitting at the table eating. Smelling the smell, they drooled. In an instant, they did not want to eat their own food.
"Dad, we haven't eaten meat in a long time. Do you want to buy some tomorrow?”
Yan Jiefang took a deep breath and said enviously as he smelled the fragrance of the meat.
When Third Uncle heard this, he quickly threw away his chopsticks and stretched out his hand."Sure, I'll buy it tomorrow. Pay up.”
Yan Jiefang's face was bitter." Dad, what can you do? Is there a need for a family to settle accounts so clearly? I know that your monthly salary plus my mother's pension isn't much, but at least it's a little. Do you need to be so stingy?”
"Moreover, I also pay my living expenses to my family on time every month!”
"Don't you know?" Third Uncle said coldly. New people, new things, new countries, they earn their own money and spend it.”
"You want to eat meat? If you give me money, I'll buy it. Otherwise, don't even think about it.”
"Oh, right, you said that you would pay for your living expenses. That little bit is at most considered as the rent for your room! What use was it? And you're even mentioning it to me!"
Yan Jiefang was convinced after hearing this.
Other parents were worried that their children would not have enough to eat and wear, but it was different for him. He needed money to eat meat, pay for accommodation, and even if he used a few more toilet papers in the toilet, he had to record them.
To meet such a stingy father, he was really unlucky for eight lifetimes. His days had not even been good!
Yan Jiefang said angrily,"Sure, you're awesome." I've finally learned. In the future, if you fall sick or something, I'll also keep an account for you. What else do you want to do when the time comes?”
Third Uncle looked indifferent." Eh, alright, alright. When I'm in that kind of situation, can I still rely on you?"”
At the same time, outside the alley, Qin Huairu was supporting a sallow and emaciated child who was limping as they walked towards the courtyard.
This child was the one who had just been released from the labor camp.
Qin Huairu had just reached the entrance of the courtyard with the stick when the fragrance of meat assailed her nostrils.
The stick meme swallowed a mouthful of saliva and suddenly burst into tears."Meat, meat, Mom, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat, Mom, I want to eat…"
