977: The Face Is Really Thick (4 More)
There was a room full of people, and no one expected that Xia Xiaolan would suddenly mention the allocation of houses.
This thought jumps so fast, how can people answer it?
Mao Guosheng was about to question, but when he heard Xia Xiaolan's doubts, his face turned red.
The Provincial Construction Institute does not want to see Mao Kangshan again. Mao Kangshan is a leading figure in the construction circle of Zhejiang Province.
There are many old and old students, and Mao Kangshan is reluctant to communicate, which does not affect his status in the arena.
Even the Architectural Society has no choice but to find a "consultant" position to settle Mao Kangshan. It is impossible to expel him from the Architectural Society. Xia Xiaolan's complaint is really unfair to the Provincial Construction Institute. The house allocated by the Provincial Construction Institute to the old couple in Maokang Mountain is now the residence of Mao Guosheng's family... Being told by an outsider Xia Xiaolan is like scolding Mao Guosheng for being unfilial!
Zheng Shuqin was drooling at the apprenticeship ceremony in the living room, but she was choked on her own.
She suspected that Xia Xiaolan did it on purpose. It must be her parents-in-law who complained in front of Xia Xiaolan, and Xia Xiaolan only talked about the house.
Zheng Shuqin was a little annoyed.
What does the matter of the Mao family have to do with Xia Xiaolan, an outsider?
I really thought that when I became a closed disciple, I would be able to manage the housework of the Mao family!
Mao Guosheng's brothers and sisters had opinions, but Xia Xiaolan, an outsider, intervened, and Zheng Shuqin was particularly angry.
"Oh, Xiao Xia, it's not good to speak ill of the leaders behind your back. In fact, the house allocated by the Jianyuan Academy to the second elder is the one we live in now. It has one more room than the upstairs. I replaced the two houses... sigh, it's all my fault that Guosheng and I are incompetent, and we can't buy a new house for the second old man."
Zheng Shuqin said all the good and bad words.
Xia Xiaolan knew that the daughter-in-law of Teacher Mao's family was someone who liked to take advantage.
You are so filial, how can you make your in-laws work hard to climb the sixth floor every day?
However, Mao Guosheng's son is not distressed, and Zheng Shuqin can't be blamed.
"It turns out that this is the case. I misunderstood the leadership of the Provincial Construction Institute."
Aunt Song didn't look very natural. It was the first time Xiao Xia came to the door today. When she brought up such a sensitive topic, her son and daughter-in-law might have thought that she and her wife were talking in front of Xiao Xia.
Aunt Song was worried, but she couldn't say the right thing in her heart: Xiao Xia, this apprentice, is not only generous, but also very careful, and she really cares about Lao Mao and her, so she will question the floor of the house.
But the house has been changed, isn't it a contradiction to mention it now?
"Guosheng, will you and Shuqin sit down to eat again?"
Mao Guosheng didn't want to eat at all.
He wanted to oppose Mao Kangshan's acceptance of apprentices.
But Xia Xiaolan made a ghostly call about the house, Mao Guosheng felt a bit ashamed, and suddenly he couldn't say anything.
What does he object to?
Zheng Shuqin looked at the good wine and good food on the table, then pulled her husband's clothes and sat down:
"It happened that the children were not at home, and they all went to my grandma's place. Then Guosheng and I would eat two bites, just to celebrate Xiaoxia. Xiaoxia became his father's closed disciple, and we will be a family from now on. Xiaoxia's family is quite good. Well, so many things have been sent."
Zheng Shuqin opened her mouth and asked.
The daughter-in-law could not get on the stage, and Mao Kangshan lost face in front of the new apprentice.
It is impossible for Xia Xiaolan to step on the master's feet, and she replied vaguely: "The family is so-so, it is all to honor the master and the mistress. The two elders have a spring and autumn, and while the teeth are still sharp, they must eat well and use them well."
Zheng Shuqin was thick-skinned, looking at a bunch of good things with hot eyes.
Most of the things were tightly covered and she couldn't see clearly. She could see clearly the Zhonghua cigarettes and Maotai liquor.
Mao Guosheng was a little thin-skinned, and always felt that Xia Xiaolan had something to say, and was vaguely accusing him of being unfilial... The family's money was managed by his wife. Mao Guosheng had opinions on his father and didn't care enough about his parents' daily life.
Although Zheng Shuqin said plausibly, what kind of old man not only receives retirement salary, but also reemployment salary, his monthly income is more than that of her and Mao Guosheng combined, what can he do if he is used to frugality, and he is willing to eat boiled noodles in plain water!
Mao Guosheng heard the same thing.
But why, now that Xia Xiaolan said it, he fidgeted like a nail was thrown under his butt?
All the same people.
It doesn't make sense for the elderly to live frugally. The fragrant meat, the smoothness of eggs, and the mellowness of milk are things that young people can enjoy, but old people don't like to eat?
Mao Guosheng's cheeks were hot.
If you have an opinion on his father, you shouldn't even ignore your mother.
It's just an excuse to cover up that he is not competent enough, that he can't be filial to his parents if he can take care of his small family. In the end, his parents wanted to ask outsiders to be filial. He didn't want the old man to accept Xiao Xia as his apprentice, so why would he speak?
They all sat down, and Mao Kangshan didn't say to drive people back.
He also poured Mao Guosheng a glass of wine.
There were two more uninvited guests at the meal, and the atmosphere was quite weird. Mao Guosheng drank without saying a word, and Zheng Shuqin stole Xia Xiaolan's limelight as soon as he came. Zheng Shuqin said all the words, Xia Xiaolan simply shut up to eat.
After eating, Zheng Shuqin still lingered, Mao Kangshan thought that he had to talk about business with his apprentice, so he opened his mouth to expel people.
Zheng Shuqin is thick-skinned and plausible:
"Your close disciple, that's a family, the family should get closer. You chat with Xiao Xia, and Guosheng and I don't disturb. It makes no sense that the disciple can listen, but the son can't, right? Guosheng also studied architecture. Yes, no matter how talented Xiao Xia is, he has just graduated from college. How many years has Guosheng been doing this?
! As for me, I can help Mom do the dishes and clean up the kitchen! "
Quick-talking, he speaks in a set way.
It's just that his mind is too shallow, and his thoughts are written on his face. Otherwise, Teacher Mao's daughter-in-law is still a capable person.
When Xia Xiaolan saw Zheng Shuqin get into the kitchen, Mao Kangshan's face was not good, and he quickly smoothed out:
"Teacher, I think Sister Zheng is right. Thank you Sister Zheng for being considerate. I also said to help my wife clean up. Now Sister Zheng has set me free. I have nothing to say. I have booked a hotel in Hangzhou. Shall we go to the hotel to talk?"
When Mao Kangshan heard this, he was quite moved.
There are advantages and disadvantages to living in a family home.
The advantage is that decades of neighbors can usually take care of each other.
The downside is that no one can hide a little trouble.
Speak louder and neighbors can hear it.
You can't stop the aroma from eating a meal of meat.
"Then listen to you!"
Ge Jian used Mao Kangshan's phone to call a taxi. Zheng Shuqin was in the kitchen while washing the dishes while pricking up her ears to listen. Ge Jianbao's name is Hangzhou Overseas Chinese Hotel, a relatively old hotel in Hangzhou, right next to the West Lake.
Not the most expensive.
Zheng Shuqin was thinking about it, and she was still thinking about the bunch of apprenticeship ceremonies in the living room, so she didn't bother to go.
When Zheng Shuqin finished cleaning up the kitchen, the taxi also went downstairs and honked the horn.
Xia Xiaolan took the lead, helped Mao Kangshan downstairs, turned her head and smiled at Aunt Song:
"Miss, don't cook at night. I'll ask Ge Jian to pick you up before dinner. I ordered dinner on Yan'an Road."
