Chapter 844 [One Reed Crossing the River] (Part 2)
Xue Weitong broke another reed, Zhang Yang smiled and shook his head. Sure enough, Xue Weitong still failed this time. Xue Weitong said: "Wow! Third brother, you are so amazing. You must teach me this trick."
Official Zhang laughed and said, "What's this? I can do it when crossing the river with a reed. Do you want to learn it?"
Xue Weitong nodded.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Crossing the river with a reed is a difficult move that only Bodhidharma can play. If I were so powerful, why would I be the deputy director of the Laushizi Management Committee? I would have been to Shaolin Temple as abbot!"
Xue Weitong smiled and said, "Where is no good at being a state cadre here when you go to Shaolin Temple to be an abbot!"
Zhang Yang said: "The times have changed. Nowadays, the abbot and state cadres compete with each other. Maybe who is more majestic than who is more powerful!"
While the two were joking, they saw an old man walking over in the distance with the sunset on his back. The afterglow of the sunset outlined a golden halo on his body, but Gu Yunzhi came back from fishing.
Zhang Yang hurriedly greeted him: "Dad!" Since Gu Jiatong passed away, Zhang Yang has called him this. Although Gu Yunzhi has told Zhang Yang tactfully that he does not have to insist on calling him like this, the matter of his daughter is a burden that Zhang Yang cannot get rid of in his life.
Gu Yunzhi smiled and said, "Zhang Yang, why are you in Qiuxia Lake?"
Zhang Yang pointed behind him, Xue Weitong followed him with a big strode. She smiled and called out, "Uncle Gu!"
Gu Yunzhi was slightly stunned. He did not recognize Xue Weitong.
Zhang Yang originally wanted to introduce Xue Weitong to Gu Yunzhi. When she heard her crying so intimately, Zhang Yang realized that Xue Weitong had known Gu Yunzhi, but when she saw Gu Yunzhi's confused look on her face, she obviously didn't remember who Xue Weitong was.
Xue Weitong smiled and said, "Uncle Gu, you don't know me anymore? I am Xue Shilun's daughter!"
Gu Yunzhi suddenly realized it at this moment and said in surprise: "You are Tongtong! Last time I saw you, a female student carrying a schoolbag, why is it suddenly so old!"
Xue Weitong smiled and said, "Girls have changed a lot in college. After graduating from high school, I went to Hong Kong University to study. Later, I went to Cambridge, England for several years. You haven't seen me for so long, so of course I can't remember it."
Gu Yunzhi and Xue Weitong's father Xue Shilun have known each other for many years, and their relationship has always been good. However, Gu Yunzhi never formed cliques in politics, which is also the fundamental reason why his career stopped at the Secretary of the Pinghai Provincial Party Committee. Gu Yunzhi sighed: "It's been more than ten years. I remember the last time I went to your house ten years ago."
Xue Weitong nodded repeatedly and said, "In the 1986th year, the Year of the Tiger! It was the seventh day of the Chinese New Year. I celebrated my birthday, and Uncle Gu bought me a birthday cake."
Gu Yunzhi smiled and said, "You remember it really clearly."
Xue Weitong smiled and said, "Of course, I got into trouble that day. It was Uncle Gu's arrival that allowed me to escape, otherwise my dad would definitely hang me up and beat me up."
Gu Yunzhi laughed more and more happily, and he handed the fish basket to Zhang Yang: "Let's go! Go to my house for dinner!"
Zhang Yang looked at the fish basket and there were only three small fish in it. It seemed that Gu Yunzhi’s harvest today was not very good. Zhang Yang couldn’t help but say, “Dad, these three small fish are not enough to make soup!”
Gu Yun knew: "There is something delicious at home!"
Zhang Yang and Xue Weitong followed Gu Yunzhi to the house. Before they entered the door, they smelled an attractive fragrance. Zhang Daguanren sniffed and immediately thought of something from the fragrance. He blurted out: "Buddha jumped over the wall! He has been raised!"
Gu Yunzhi nodded with a smile: "Your nose is so good!"
When they arrived in the courtyard, Gu Yangyang just walked out of the kitchen and simply wrapped his hair with a yellow handkerchief, swept his eyebrows lightly, his beautiful eyes were like water, and he stood in front of the sunset, like a beautiful camellia. When she saw Zhang Yang appearing in front of her, her eyes became obviously brighter.
Gu Yunzhi's eyes were so sharp that he immediately saw something from his daughter's expression. No one knows his daughter is better than his father. Gu Yunzhi understood his daughter's thoughts very clearly, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Gu Yangyang obviously wanted to hide his attention to Zhang Yang in front of his father, and greeted Xue Weitong with a smile: "Sister Tongtong, you are here!"
Xue Weitong smiled and said, "Healing, I didn't expect you to be at home too." Their acquaintance was at the prince's party in the capital.
Gu Yun knew: "Have you prepared to raise the Buddha jumped over the wall?"
Gu Yangyang said, "That's good, I'll go and make a few more side dishes. Dad, you and your brother-in-law will have a drink first."
Xue Weitong didn't know the relationship between Zhang Yangyang and the Gu family. When she heard Gu Yangyang call him brother-in-law and Zhang Yang call him Gu Yunzhi's father, she became more and more confused. She followed Gu Yangyang to help.
Gu Yunzhi and Zhang Yang came to the restaurant together. He came to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of Wuliangye. Zhang Yang said, "Dad, you still have a lot of inventory!"
Gu Yunzhi smiled indifferently and said, "Xia Boda came to see me a while ago and brought me two boxes of Wuliangye. I rarely drink it!"
Zhang Yang took the bottle of wine and put it on the table: "How is Mayor Xia doing recently?"
Gu Yun knew: "What else can it be? He has come to an end in his career. Being a secretary for too long is not a good thing. He is indecisive in his work and lacks courage."
Zhang Yang had a lot of dealings with Xia Boda when he was working in Nancy. Of course, he knew Xia Boda's shortcomings. He smiled. Although Xia Boda was a person with limited abilities, he was always very loyal to Gu Yunzhi. It would be better not to comment on Gu Yunzhi in front of him.
Gu Yangyang and Xue Weitong brought four plates of cold dishes to deliver them. Just from the combination of dishes and knife skills, you can see that Gu Yangyang's cooking skills have improved.
Gu Yunzhi asked Xue Weitong to sit down together. Xue Weitong did not regard herself as an outsider and smiled and said, "Uncle Gu, I will go to the kitchen with Yangyang and learn some cooking skills from her."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Wei Tong, that's right. Don't be like a tomboy all day long. Being a woman will have to go out to the hall and go to the kitchen."
Xue Weitong said: "You are a big machismo!"
Zhang Yang poured white wine into the wine glass in front of Gu Yunzhi, picked up the wine glass and said, "Dad, I'm quite busy with work these days, and I don't have time to come to see you because I'm so close. Wouldn't you blame me?"
Gu Yunzhi smiled and said, "Of course, work is important for young people. I like leisure now. If you come to disturb me every day, I don't like it."
Zhang Yang knew that Gu Yunzhi was telling a joke, and also smiled and said, "Dad, aren't you going to drive me away?"
Gu Yun knew: "Who will drink with me when you leave?"
Both of them laughed, Zhang Yang accompanied Gu Yunzhi to drink a glass, picked up the cold dishes and stuffed them into his mouth, and couldn't help but praise: "The cooking skills of raising are getting more and more sophisticated!"
Gu Yun knew: "A piece of cucumber can taste the cooking skills. Are you a bit exaggerated?"
"Dad, the simpler the dish you make, the chef's skill can be reflected. If you really give her the delicacies and the ingredients are there, even if they are boiled in water, the highest level is a plate of shredded potatoes and a bowl of fried noodles. The simpler the thing, the more you can test the cooking skills."
Gu Yunzhi also picked up a piece of cucumber and tasted it and said, "It seems to be a little different!"
Zhang Yang said: "The taste is second. Look at her skill in cutting cucumbers, she masters the right amount of slicing cucumbers."
Gu Yun knew: "The more you talk, the more mysterious she is, and she is almost the best in the world by you!"
Zhang Yang said: "Don't be dissatisfied. Yangyang is the closed disciple of Mr. Cao. Mr. Cao is a master of diligent movement in the capital. He has always been with Mr. Qiao to be responsible for Mr. Qiao's diet. This is on the same level as the imperial chef in the imperial palace in the past."
Gu Yun knew: "Old Master Cao's food is not necessarily cultivated and can learn his skills."
Zhang Yang said: "Educating Buddhas to jump over the wall, even Mr. Qiao praised him, saying that Mr. Cao had learned his level of upbringing at 80% of the time."
Gu Yunzhi was very happy to hear Zhang Yang say this, and laughed: "It is rare to raise so much about cooking. It is always something to be proud of when a girl cooks good food."
Zhang Yang said: "If you don't say anything else, you can enjoy the joy!"
Gu Yunzhi laughed.
Xue Weitong jumped over the wall with the newly prepared Buddha. Gu Yangyang followed her, holding a bottle of red wine in her hand.
Zhang Yang asked them to sit down quickly. After sitting down, Gu Yangyang said in surprise: "Brother-in-law, I realized that you and Sister Tongtong have already become sworn brothers-in-law!"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I can't hide any secrets, and I probably explained everything when I cook."
Xue Weitong said: "If you want to be sworn, just be sworn. Third brother, it's not a shameful thing. Are you still afraid that others will know?"
Gu Yunzhi smiled and said, "You are so old, you are still doing the kindness of loyalty in the world. You are so arrogant and be careful to affect your political future." He was just joking.
Xue Weitong said: "Uncle Gu, don't worry, our swornship will only benefit our political future, but not harm!"
Gu Yunzhi understood what Xue Weitong was talking about. He knew Xue Weitong's background, but he didn't know whether Zhang Yang was interested in becoming a sworn brother or because of fate. If it were the former, Zhang Yang still had great ambitions in his career and was still fanatical in his pursuit of official positions.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Wei Tong, I didn't want to curry favor with you. Don't say that I'm so snobbish."
Xue Weitong toasted Gu Yunzhi with two glasses of wine.
Only then did Gu Yunzhi ask about the purpose of Xue Weitong's trip.
Xue Weitong told Gu Yunzhi about his investment in the construction of the Diet Theme Entertainment Park. Gu Yunzhi smiled and said, "I have heard that the theme park is going to be built near Qiuxia Lake, but I didn't know that it was your project. OK, investing in Dongjiang New City, you have the right vision!"
Xue Weitong said: "This is also the result of my multi-faceted investigation. Dongjiang is the place that meets my requirements most." She looked at Zhang Yang again and said: "Of course, there is also the reason why my third brother works in the new city. The wealth does not flow to outsiders' fields. Of course, I have to invest in my own people first if there is a project."
Zhang Yang said: "Weitong, you are reminding me to sell me a big favor!"
Xue Weitong smiled and said, "It's not that meaningful. I mean, if you come to Dongjiang to take care of me, I'm not afraid of losing money!"
