64. Reminiscence

Looking at the two cups of coffee brought by the waiter, Zhou Dalin was amused and crying.

"Just this, this is called a cafe? How good are you calling it a drink?"

"Forget it," Huang Ling advised him, "I came here just to be quiet and easy to talk. I'm not just for drinking anything, so why bother with these?"

"I'm not concerned," said Zhou Dalin. "This small bag of instant coffee is only one or two yuan. If they let them soak it, it will be twenty-one cups. Isn't this a robbery of money?"

"You are so rich, and you are still calculating with others for ten or twenty yuan?" Huang Ling said to him.

Zhou Dalin smiled and said, "This is not a problem of money, it is a problem of integrity in doing business. Without integrity, if the business is not done well, it will also cause darkness to our small town. No wonder no one comes here."

Huang Ling shook her head helplessly and said, "Do you know why you and Shengwen can't get together?"

Zhou Dalin then forgot about the coffee and looked at Huang Ling and asked, "Why?"

Huang Ling sighed and said, "You two have one problem, that is, you are very serious. If you have a big deal, you have to argue with right and wrong. No one will accept each other. It would be strange if you don't quarrel!"

Zhou Dalin laughed.

"Personal!" he said, "I think so too. I know my fault and I'm working hard to correct it, but I just can't, haha."

Huang Ling also smiled and said, "You still know how to change it. Shengwen is still very sensible."

As he said that, he followed Li Shengwen's tone and said, "***, I'm afraid of being serious in everything. As a technician, can I be careful if I don't be serious? How much damage will it cause to the country?"

Zhou Dalin smiled again and said, "It's not serious to be serious. You're just busy in the factory and being serious everywhere, but you're going to offend people."

Huang Ling sighed and said, "Who said no? Otherwise, he is still an ordinary technician and can't get up there?"

"Let your dad help him." Zhou Dalin said.

Huang Ling said: "If my dad didn't help him, he would still be in the technical place. He would have gotten out of the workshop early."

Huang Ling's words prove that it is entirely due to his father-in-law that Li Shengwen can become the technical director in more than ten years.

"Hey, how could you marry Li Shengwen?" Zhou Dalin asked his confusion.

"It's time to get old." Huang Ling said lightly, "After all, he is a college student and a technician. We are classmates, and we also know each other's tempers and personalities."

Speaking of this, she looked at Zhou Dalin and asked, "Who do you want me to marry, marry a worker?"

Zhou Dalin grinned and asked with some melancholy: "If I were in the factory at that time, would you choose him or me?"

Huang Ling sighed softly and said, "No if."

"Is he good to you?" Zhou Dalin asked again.

Huang Ling didn't want to talk about the couple's affairs, so she changed the topic and asked Zhou Dalin: "When did you like me? I remember when we were in junior high school, I didn't know if it was the second or third grade, so you ignored me. I was still wondering, how did I offend you? I thought about it for many days but couldn't figure out why."

After hearing what she said, Zhou Dalin smiled slightly.

"You didn't offend me."

He smiled and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He paused and said, "At that time, I suddenly liked you. I liked you. When I saw you, I would be shy and embarrassed to talk to you, and I would deliberately avoid you."

Huang Ling smiled too.

She understood that this guy had just started to fall in love.

"From that time, you lived in my heart until you graduated from high school and college. Even now, you lived in my heart. So, in the hotel, I recognized you at a glance." Zhou Dalin said.

Among his words, there were real and falsehood. At least, before seeing Huang Ling, he didn't think of her at all. He just saw her, which evoked his beautiful memories of his youth.

"Why did you come to the hotel to do it?" he asked Huang Ling again.

Huang Ling sighed and said, "There is no military product task in the factory. I asked my father to find a relationship and was assigned to the military product branch. I always wanted to eat imperial grain and ensure income from drought and flood. Who would have thought that if I had no work, I would pay three or four hundred yuan a month, and Shengwen was similar to me. My child just started school and asked me to do anything. Anyway, the factory was messy, so I secretly ran out and worked with another job. The factory asked me to work, so I asked my colleagues to show off for the day and went to the factory. I usually worked in a hotel and didn't go to the factory."

Zhou Dalin said, "Your father is the chief director, and you still need to work so hard?"

Huang Ling smiled and said, "I have a sister and a younger brother. They are all married and are all in the factory. They are not doing well. Who is my father supporting? The little spare money they have given to my younger brother is not enough. Can they still support me?"

Zhou Dalin nodded and said, "That's right. A difficult enterprise like ours really has no future. I used to be a technician in the Linshui hydraulic valve factory, but then I simply resigned."

Speaking of this, he said, "You see, I'm not much better than being in the factory? Just ask your Shengwen to quit. Just don't do it yourself, and work in a unit with good performance, at least the salary can be higher."

Huang Ling snorted and said, "Do you think he is like you and has a lively mind? That's a big stubborn person, don't you know? I've been quarreling with him a lot, but what's the use of quarreling for a long time? I have to force me, a woman, to come out and find a way."

Speaking of this, Huang Ling didn't want to mention the mess at home anymore, so she changed the topic and said, "Hey, don't always talk about me, tell me, are you? Are you married? How are you doing now?"

Zhou Dalin can tell the truth about his marriage. His ex-wife is indeed a bit too vulgar and bullied him too much because of her parents' closeness.

He told Huang Ling a lot of things that his ex-wife did in the past, unreasonable and domestic violence, until Huang Ling began to sympathize with him.

Finally, he said: "After the divorce, I seem to have some sequelae. I am still afraid of marriage and don't want to get married again. It's great to live alone."

Then, he talked about the fact that he made his first pot of gold when he opened a factory and then went to the provincial capital to develop. He omitted his rebirth of the foresight, and also deliberately saved Cheng Xiao and Liu Lu.

"Now, my company is already well-known in the provincial capital," he brags, "It's easy to get tens of thousands of dollars a month."

He doesn't have to expose his wealth too much. In this small town, tens of thousands of yuan is enough for a middle-income family like Huang Ling to earn for several years.

Sure enough, Huang Ling's face showed an envious look.

Zhou Dalin observed his expression and took the opportunity to say, "Oh, we have been talking for two hours without realizing it." He then discussed with her and said, "Or why don't you give me a look and let me have a meal with my dream lover?"

If Huang Ling refuses him at this time and asks to go home, Zhou Dalin will send her home and invite the couple to have dinner together in the evening.

However, I don’t know if it was because they said something for two hours, and they were speculative, which aroused each other’s favor, or why, Huang Ling actually agreed.

"Okay." She said, "I'll call on your cell phone and I won't go back to eat tonight."

"Who are you going to fight?" Zhou Dalin asked, "Shengwen? If you don't go back, he won't doubt you, right?"

"It's okay." Huang Ling told him, "It's common for colleagues to replace each other in class, and he won't doubt it."

Zhou Dalin stopped talking and silently gave Huang Ling the phone.

Huang Ling's egg seemed to have started to have a slit. Zhou Dalin, the fly buzzing on the side, seemed to be able to smell the fishy smell inside the eggshell.

"Think about it carefully, what do you want to eat?" After Huang Ling called Li Shengwen, Zhou Dalin said to her, "We have money now. Anything you can remember is as long as there are in this city, there is no problem."

Huang Ling did think about it and said after a while: "A Western restaurant has only been opened in the city. I heard that there is steak or something. I have never eaten Western food in my life."

"Okay, let's have Western food tonight." Zhou Dalin said.

After saying so long in the cafe, the relationship between the two seems to be better than when they were in school.

The Western restaurant in the small town is located on the top floor of a large supermarket and has very low specifications. However, there is actually a single room in this hall.

Zhou Dalin asked for a single room, ordered black pepper steak, pudding, cappuccino, and finally asked for a pizza. The steak was double, and the rest were single, and they couldn't eat it if they had too much.

Huang Ling didn't know how to use Western dishes, so he took a knife and fork and demonstrated it to her.

Westerners only have different eating habits from us. For example, foreigners use chopsticks, and they will definitely not use them at the beginning. However, Western tableware is easier to learn than using chopsticks. Zhou Dalin briefly said it and demonstrated it to her, so Huang Ling would use it soon.

When serving the steak, the waiter also brought a bottle of Bordeaux red wine.

"We're still drinking?" Huang Ling seemed a little hesitant.

"This wine is not cheap," said Chow Dalin. "If it weren't forged, you'd never drink it."

He asked the waiter to turn on the red wine, poured a little into his mouth, and savored it for a long time before saying, "It should be true." He asked Huang Ling, "Come and try it?"

After saying that, without waiting for Huang Ling to answer, she poured one-third of the goblet in front of her.

Huang Ling couldn't drink, but she couldn't help but be curious. She picked up the glass and took a sip, swallowed it in her stomach and said, "Isn't this just red wine?"

"Yes, red wine." Zhou Dalin said, "The key is that this is not our country's red wine, it is from France. This bottle is more than 800."

Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "To be honest, I can't figure out where this thing is good. Why is it worth so much money and it's just a good deal."

Huang Ling also smiled and said, "Good guy, this bottle of wine is worth my monthly salary."
