Chapter 336 337 [Anyway, you still have me]
"Auntie, hello, I'm Liu Feng, Xiaoping's comrade-in-arms." Xiang Nan got up and said in an awkward moment.
"Ah, you are Liu Feng. Xiaoping often mentions you in her letters, saying that you always take care of her in the art troupe." Xiaoping's mother laughed quickly when she heard that, "Thank you so much."
"You're welcome. Taking care of my comrades is what I should do." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"I still have to thank you. Xiaoping doesn't understand anything. Going to the art troupe by herself will definitely suffer. It's really hard to have no one to take care of her." Xiaoping's mother said again.
"What are you talking about, it's almost noon, don't hurry up and cook." Xiaoping's stepfather scolded.
After what he said, Xiaoping's mother nodded quickly.
It can be seen that her status in the family is really not high.
"Comrade Liu Feng, sit down first, I will cook, and eat at home at noon." She said with a smile.
"Who is he, why are you keeping him at home?" The little boy tilted his head and asked.
"That's right, it's a fellow from my hometown again. It's so annoying, every time I come here, I eat and take it." The little girl also curled her lips and said.
Xiang Nan already hated this family, but when he saw how rude they were, he hated him even more.
He suppressed his anger and laughed, "You're welcome, Auntie. In fact, today, our comrades-in-arms also held a banquet at Old Mo'er, and it would be inappropriate not to go to meet Xiaoping and me.
Xiaoping, the time is almost up, let's go. "
Xiaoping nodded.
She originally thought that after she made meritorious service, received an award, and was promoted, she would feel warm to some extent after returning home.
But unexpectedly, she was still unwelcome in this family. That being the case, then this meal is really not worth mentioning.
"Old Mo'er?! Then can I go? You can take me there, please?"
"Your oil bottle, I want to go too!"
The two children said.
"Get out of here, you two little bastards, what a disgrace to the world!" Xiaoping's stepfather scolded, and then looked at Xiang Nan, "Let's stay and have a meal."
If it was just Xiaoping, he would not have stayed. After all, she is only the deputy platoon rank, and she doesn't know how long it will take to climb up.
But Xiang Nan is different. He is now at the deputy regimental level, and in a few years he will be at the divisional and military levels. After changing jobs, he will at least be a bureau-level cadre.
And he has to retire in a few years. His son and daughter are still young now, and when they grow up in the future, he will have already come down. The so-called people leave the tea cold, when the time comes, he will not be able to push it even if he wants to push it.
But if there is Xiang Nan to help, then it will be fine. The energy of bureau-level cadres is still great. Moreover, Xiang Nan is still very young, and it is not certain that he will reach the * level in the future.
So he treats Xiang Nan with special respect.
"If you don't even eat a meal, how can you do it?" Xiaoping's mother also asked to stay.
"I'm really sorry. The comrades-in-arms are still waiting there." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Besides, it's not like we have a chance to live in Yanjing in the future."
"Goodbye uncle, goodbye aunt." Xiang Nan nodded, and then led Xiaoping straight out of the house regardless of asking to stay.
…
After going out, Xiaoping couldn't help crying.
"Okay, don't cry. It's not your fault, it's because they don't know good people." Xiang Nan persuaded softly, "In this case, stay away from them in the future. Anyway, you still have me, and you still have me." With your biological father, we will be with you.
Moreover, you don't need to rely on them to support you anymore, you have your own business and earn enough money to support yourself. Let them do what they like, you don't have to take them to heart. "
Xiaoping wiped her tears and nodded.
She used to stay in that house because she had nowhere to go.
But now she has her own business, a steady salary, and a loved one. Instead of going back to that suffocating home, she can build a new one herself.
Since this is the case, they can do whatever they like. She doesn't care anymore!
"Let's go, I'll take you to Lao Mo'er for dinner." Xiang Nan smiled immediately.
Old Mo'er's full name is Moscow Restaurant, which opened in 1954.
At that time, it was the honeymoon period of Sino-Soviet relations, and a large number of Soviet and Russian experts, diplomats, scholars and students lived in Yanjing. In order to entertain them, this Moscow restaurant was built.
At the earliest time, if you want to go in and eat, you have to show your ticket. Ordinary people can't get in at all.
But because a meal costs several dollars, it is equivalent to the meal cost of an ordinary person for a month. So the vast majority of people dare not even step through the door. Because of this, being able to eat at a Moscow restaurant became a very dignified thing at the time.
"No need, just find a place to eat." Xiaoping waved her hand.
"I'll go as soon as I say, be obedient~" Xiang Nan took her hand and said.
Xiao Ping immediately succumbed.
…
The two of them went to Lao Mo'er and had a hard meal.
The main course is beef stew, fried pork chops, and roast duck. The side dishes are prawn salad, diced fish with eggplant, the soup is clear mushroom soup, creamy tomato soup, and the drink is pineapple in syrup...
All of these together cost only five yuan. To be honest, it is really not expensive.
In future generations, if you want to have a big meal in such a top-level restaurant, you will not be able to get out without four or five thousand.
It was the first time for Xiaoping to eat so well, her eyes were crooked when she laughed.
After eating, the two went back to the hotel to pick up their luggage, and then they hugged each other and said goodbye.
Xiang Nan took a car to report at the Military and Political University, and Xiaoping took a car to report at the Zongzheng Song and Dance Troupe.
When parting, Xiang Nan handed a notebook to Xiaoping.
"Keep this notebook safe, and don't let anyone see it except you." He instructed Xiaoping.
"What's written in it?" Xiaoping asked suspiciously, keeping it so secret.
"Keep it and watch it later." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "Xiaoping, remember, after arriving at the new unit, be cautious in your words and deeds. Keep your mouth and don't cause trouble, and keep your heart and don't make mistakes. Don't cause trouble if you have nothing to do, and don't be afraid of trouble. thing.
I will visit you when I have time, and you can tell me anything you have.
Also, remember, don't forget to study. Learning can not only make you sensible, but also prepare you for a way out. "
"I remember everything." Xiaoping nodded.
She has always believed in Xiang Nan's words.
"Then let's meet again." Xiang Nan sent her to the car, waved goodbye to her with a smile,
…
After Xiaoping left, Xiang Nan also took the car to the Military and Political University. Then follow the instructions and report for admission smoothly.
He studied in the Political Department of Military and Political University, where he learned political science, administration, public management, administrative management, Marxism and so on.
He reported after the Spring Festival, just in time for the new semester, and immediately devoted himself to intense study.
Because of his high IQ, broad knowledge, and versatility, he quickly stood out among his classmates and became the teacher's favorite student.
