Dai Yan took back three dinner plates, left again, and came back soon with a mysterious look on her face. 【Read the latest chapter】
"Mom, drink this!"
Dai Shi took the bottle handed over by her daughter as if it was a treasure, shook it, looked at the bottle containing white syrup, and suddenly realized that it was made of glass. Her hand suddenly shook and she almost didn't drop it.
"Girl, what is this?"
"This is called milk. It was only served in the cafeteria last month. We are the only ones here who can drink it in the morning. I ranked first in two subjects in the last monthly exam and got two bonus coupons. I'll give you two bottles to try in exchange!" Dai Yan said quickly! Very quickly, he handed the other bottle to his father as if he was offering a treasure.
Dai Dehou looked at the bottle in his hand and was shocked. It was made of crystal glass!
The milk bottle in front of me is different from the inexpensive colored glass bottles that have begun to be sold in large quantities on the market. It is a transparent crystal glass bottle with extremely fine workmanship. It is not difficult to exchange it for one or two taels of silver in the market.
The leaders were so generous. Dai Dehou was grateful, his hands were shaking slightly, and he quickly put the bottle on the table.
Dai Yan was used to it. She took the bottle, deftly untied the cotton thread, opened the paper seal, and handed it over again.
His daughter kept waving her hands to urge him. Dai Dehou picked up the bottle and took a careful sip. There was a faint sweetness in his mouth, and then a strange aroma began to fill his mouth.
"It tastes good, mommy will drink it too!" Dai Yan opened another bottle, handed it to Dai Shi, and watched her start drinking, feeling satisfied.
Dai Yan's mother couldn't get used to the milk with a faint "fishy" smell, but in order to live up to her daughter's feelings, she still drank it.
Dai Yan has a restless temper. Pushing the dinner plate in front of his parents, he picked up the food box that Dai Shi brought and opened it, pouting. He untied the food cup wrapped in cotton cloth, opened the lid and placed the warm large yellow croaker in front of him.
"I told you not to bring food last time. The school is very kind to us. Since every meal has fish and meat, we are not allowed to finish it!"
Dai Dehou looked at the rattan dinner plate in front of him, which contained several bowls made of coconut shells, including taro-roasted chicken nuggets. There is also a dish of green and red vegetables stir-fried with pork slices, and a bowl of green vegetable and egg drop soup, which is more exquisite than what I eat at home.
The three of them started to eat. Dai Shi picked up the green dried vegetables he had never seen next to the meat slices, put it into his mouth and took a bite. Suddenly, a rush of breath spread in his mouth, and then he could no longer care about etiquette. Open your mouth and keep breathing.
"Hehe. Isn't this a bit spicy? It doesn't matter, just drink some milk." Dai Yan said with a smile: "I asked the teacher if this pepper is appetizing. It's America, hey, it's very far to the southwest of us. It’s grown on an island, and the chiefs can only bring it over and plant it in Lingao.”
Although chili peppers have long been sold in the market, they are relatively expensive and have different eating habits. Except for wealthy households and naturalized cadres, ordinary people in Lingao rarely buy and eat. Although Dai Dehou and Dai Shi have seen all kinds of round, pointed, red and green peppers in the vegetable and fruit direct sales store opened by Honghua Club, they have never eaten them.
Strange words kept coming out of her daughter's mouth. Dai Dehou had never heard of them. Seeing that her daughter was making a difference, she felt proud and worried about her son Dai Yu.
No matter how successful her daughter is, she will be able to take advantage of outsiders in the future. How much benefit will the family get?
While he was eating, Dai Xiu suddenly whispered, "Look, that's the chief's child."
Dai Dehou had long heard of the "little elders" - they had come from Australia on a big iron ship with the chiefs. However, these children are very mysterious and almost invisible in public.
There are currently less than ten "young veterans" studying at Fangcaodi. They range from seven or eight years old to twelve or thirteen years old. There is a special class in the study center to receive compound education - it is said to be compound education, but in reality it is not much different from one-to-one education.
Their learning content is deeper than that of students in fast-track classes, especially in natural and humanities sciences with greater depth and breadth. In addition, everyone must take an optional foreign language commonly used in the old time and space to ensure that the various foreign language materials in the big library can be effectively passed on.
However, within the Academy, these students are not allowed to be called "leaders". Everyone in the school can only call them by their first names, and students secretly call them "those people".
Dai Dehou saw a female student coming in. Her face looked like she was only eleven or twelve years old, but she was taller than most of the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys here. She had a slim figure and was wearing the same school uniform as the other students. She has long hair, tied up with a pink hairband, and has a beautiful appearance and fair complexion.
After she came in, she greeted a few familiar girls and walked briskly to the dining table to receive the food. Every gesture, every move and every smile exudes a temperament that is completely different from that of her own daughter. She is unpretentious and full of confidence, like a rising sun, and all the eyes of the audience are immediately focused on her.
He is indeed a born noble. Dai Dehou thought with envy that his daughter has become more and more energetic since she came to study here. She is incomparable compared with others...
I don’t know who this girl from the senator’s family will marry in the future…
Dai Dehou's random thoughts were quickly interrupted by his wife's words: "Whose girl is this?"
"It's from the senator's family. Even if you tell me, you don't know..."
This is true. The names of the elders that Tai Dehou knew were no more than ten at most, and most of them were known through radio and newspapers.
"Then what is the name of this girl..." Dai now regards this general judgment as if it were a god.
"Those who don't participate in the general evaluation are really awesome. If they did, we would have to wash their feet..."
"Wash your feet?"
"Well... you don't understand anyway, mother."
Dai Dehou looked at his daughter who was smiling and angry, and suddenly felt that her daughter had become strange. She still looked like the mistress she used to be. The way she talks and looks are very similar to the girl from the senator's family just now...
The meal was over soon, and Dai Yan sent back the bare plates and milk bottles. After the meal, the parents and children would spend half an hour together.
Seeing that Dai and his daughter were talking about the same thing, Dai Dehou thought about it and finally spoke.
"Yan'er, has Chief Luo been here?"
It was Chief Luo who recommended his daughter to study here. However, Dai Dehou was not a naturalized citizen, and he still didn’t know the complete surname of Chief Luo. He also didn’t know the positions of other officials and the extent of their authority. Naturally, he couldn’t figure out Chief Luo either. What does it mean to Yan'er? In fact, except for the chance encounter in Dongmen City, he has never seen her again. The third brother took him to ask for his daughter's recommendation, but the chief is said to be working in a restricted area, and they have not seen it in person. This mysterious chief just handed over a letter.
"You come here every week and bring me a lot of food so I can study hard!"
Speaking of Chief Luo, Dai Yan seemed to think of something. She mysteriously took out a few candies from her school uniform pocket and handed them to Dai.
"Mom, take it back and give it to your brother. This is the toffee the chief gave me. It's not sold outside!"
Seeing that his daughter was confused and couldn't ask more questions, Dai Dehou couldn't ask any more questions.
The time we get together is always short. Teacher Xu quickly stood up and announced that the family visiting class was about to end. Spring break would be in a few days. She hoped that parents would pay attention to the safety of their children. Then he said a few words that the chief thanked the parents for their support and would train their children to be talented. Finally, he gave the students' report cards to the visiting parents. This is the best thing to show off to the neighbors now.
Dai Dehou and Dai Shi left school. It was still an hour before he started work, but he had asked for leave.
The two got on the train first, and Dai Dehou kept thinking about it.
I wonder if Chief Luo is interested in his own Yan'er? If a daughter kisses again, she has to get married anyway. Besides, it is a blessing for the daughter to be able to raise Chief Luo as a child. If she gets to marry Chief Luo, it would be great if her son can also come to this national school to study. Maybe he can talk to him in his own home. .
Of course, he had no idea. Now he had no house or job, and he couldn't even afford a decent dowry. Besides, it was too early to marry off his daughter. I heard that there is no custom of child brides in Australia, and the female leader particularly hates this.
"His father, you said we go ask Chief Luo, will he also recommend Yu'er to enroll in school?" Dai Shi looked at the transcript and suddenly said.
"Ah?" Dai Dehou has not yet recovered. "How do I know..."
"Why don't you write a letter and ask Yan'er to bring it to Chief Luo when she returns to school after vacation?"
"This is a good idea!"
Dai Dehou suddenly became energetic. He held Dai Shi's hand and felt that the whole family had hope for the future.
"Mr. Zhang, your progress is not good."
Yang Yun and Zhang Xingpei had just returned to the headquarters from the Majiao New District under construction with Dai Xiu, the life secretary, apprentices and guards.
Although the land adjacent to the highway has been leveled, most of the 30 buildings scattered among it are still digging for foundations after three months of construction. Only a few buildings near the highway have been built with two floors. According to this progress, the new round of housing allocation plan drafted by Yang Yun is a piece of cake.
"If we want to make progress quickly, we have to either give people or equipment. There are a lot of rocks underground here, and the explosives given to me are not enough."
Zhang Xingpei was sitting on the recliner, enjoying life and washing his face with the hot towel that the secretary had just brought, his tone showing laziness.
His lofty ambitions when he took office have long been wiped away by reality. The Democratic National Construction Association has a full set of indigenous cadres, and most of the workers are newbies and novices who are not wanted by the construction company. Although many temporary workers have been organized to help, But progress is still slow and accidents continue.
Every day at work, Zhang Xingpei spends most of his energy cursing, but he gets tired after scolding too much.
"In this case, I will add a thousand more manpower to you, but you must guarantee the construction period!"
"Do you have extra manpower over there?"
Zhang Xingpei is a little puzzled. The most lacking thing in Lingao right now is manpower. The business is gradually spreading and is needed everywhere, especially technical manpower. All departments are scrambling for it. (To be continued...)
