Su Aimin looked directly at the phone. Apart from those units, this was the first time he saw a phone in someone else's home.
With the phone, two people can have an instant conversation. When one person speaks, the other person can hear it. There is no need to wait for letters to cross mountains and ridges, and it is not like a telegram that is just cold words. The phone is really good. I don’t know what their home is like. When can I use the phone?
As soon as Su Qingyun saw her father's expression, she knew what he was thinking. She also took a look at the phone. The phone was a common-type telephone. This is a telephone commonly used in the army today. Calls are manually transferred through the switchboard. This should be done by the army's internal lines.
The telephones of other units outside are still hand-cranked. It is more cumbersome to ring the phone a few times and then the call is received by the telephone exchange and then transferred to the unit.
"Please pick up Wu Chengcang from the switchboard." Xia Rong's voice was full of anger.
The call was quickly transferred over there, and Xia Rong said again: "Old Wu, you asked Xiao Wang to go to the cafeteria to get some more good food after get off work today. Yingzi and his family of three are here. I can't go shopping now." It’s too late.”
"Yes, I just arrived. The whole family is here."
"Okay, okay, come back soon." Xia Rong said a few words and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, she remembered something again, "Oh, while I was talking to you, I forgot that Jiayan was still at home. He was sleeping upstairs. I went to call him. He would definitely know that you were here. very happy."
"No, baby, I heard it all." Just as he was saying this, he saw Wu Jiayan walking down the stairs.
"Hello Aunt Ying, Hello Qingyun, Hello Uncle Su." Wu Jiayan greeted each other in turn.
This was the first time that Su Aimin was called uncle, and he nodded happily, "Hello, hello, you are Jiayan, right? I heard your aunt mentioned that he is so handsome, he is indeed a spirited young man!"
Spiritual guy? Su Qingyun tried her best to hold back her smile and turned away. Dad, this will not be a compliment in the future.
Xia Rong asked Wu Jiayan, "What time will your dad come back today?"
"I don't know." Wu Jiayan thought for a while, "It should be quite early. Their unit is not busy recently."
"That's good." Xia Rong smiled happily, "Our two families will have a good meal today."
Qin Ying smiled and nodded, "It's all up to you."
Xia Rong turned around and started to ask about the situation at Su Aimin's home. Although she had heard Qin Ying talk about it before, she knew that the child reported good things but not bad things. Xia Rong wanted to hear what the two said. Going in and out, besides, also brings the distance closer.
The adults were chatting and laughing, and Wu Jiayan and Su Qingyun also started chatting.
"I heard that your math competition is going to country E?" Wu Jiayan was a little curious.
"Yes." Su Qingyun nodded, "This is a joint mathematics competition from many countries, so the scale will be larger."
"What kind of questions are they?"
"Number theory, algebra, geometry, and combination are almost all four categories of questions."
"awesome."
Wu Jiayan praised her sincerely. What an honor it was to be able to compete on behalf of the country. Wu Jiayan envied and admired her. He was similar in age to Su Qingyun, and he was even older than her, but she had already reached a height that was difficult for others to reach. went.
"Come on and compete, I hope to receive good news from you then."
"Thank you, Brother Jiayan, I will work hard." Su Qingyun pursed her lips and smiled.
Not long after they were chatting, Wu Xiangdong came back from get off work. He walked in with his briefcase. When he saw Qin Ying's family of three, they were stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of surprise, "Yingzi, are you here?"
He had been hearing his mother talk for a long time recently, saying that Yingzi and his family were coming to the capital again, but he didn't expect to arrive so soon.
"Brother Xiangdong." Qin Ying stood up immediately and greeted with a bright smile.
Wu Xiangdong approached and patted her shoulder, "You have to stay longer this time. You can't be in a hurry like last time."
"must."
Brother Xiang Dong? Su Aimin, who was chatting with Xia Rong, frowned. Seeing the two people getting close, he immediately stood up and stretched out his hand to Wu Xiangdong.
"Brother Xiangdong, I am Su Aimin, Yingzi's lover, hello, hello." Su Aimin calmly separated the two of them.
"Hello, I've heard Yingzi talk about you a long time ago, and I finally met you." Wu Xiangdong didn't think much at all and shook hands with him with a smile on his face.
He also took a look at Su Aimin and saw that he was in good spirits, so he nodded inwardly. He looked like a good match for Yingzi, and Wu Xiangdong felt much relieved.
"What time is it? Why hasn't your father come back yet?" Xia Rong looked at the time and wondered.
"It should be soon." Wu Xiangdong said, his father is a very regular person who does all kinds of things. As long as there are no important meetings or other important things, his daily schedule is almost the same, and the time when he goes home is basically the same. stable.
"Why are you urging me? Isn't this back?" As soon as Wu Xiangdong finished speaking, Wu Chengcang's voice sounded, full of energy.
"Didn't you say you were going to the canteen to get some food? This won't waste time. You can arrange it." Wu Chengcang glared at Xia Rong and handed over the lunch box.
"The cafeteria has braised pork today, as well as steamed fish and shredded pork. I bought some of them back."
The large aluminum lunch box has several layers and is very suitable for holding several large dishes.
Xia Rong took it, "I still have the pork rib soup for lunch. I'll stir-fry two more dishes and that's it."
"Aunt Rong, let me help you." Qin Ying followed to the kitchen.
Su Aimin introduced himself to Wu Chengcang again. Wu Chengcang looked at him several times and asked, "Xiao Su, do you know how to play chess? Play two games with me."
Su Aimin was stunned, "What chess game?"
"Chess, of course."
"You know how to play chess a little bit." Su Aimin said uncertainly. When he was a child, Su Dalin had a chess set that he picked up before, and he didn't know much about it. Su Aimin followed him all day long to figure out how to play chess, making mistakes by mistake. I know a little better.
"But only a little bit." Su Aimin scratched his head, "Uncle Wu, why don't we just forget it? I'm afraid I did it too badly and you won't find it interesting."
no? Wu Chengcang's eyes lit up, he just wanted to do it without him. If Su Aimin was so good at playing chess, he wouldn't want to play with him.
"Come on, let's play the next game." Wu Chengcang couldn't wait to take out the chess piece.
Wu Xiangdong understood his old man's thoughts very well, and immediately smiled helplessly. With the old man's current level, it was really not easy to find someone who was "equal" in chess skills with him.
Being respectful is worse than obeying orders, so Su Aimin had no choice but to sit down, looked at the laid out chessboard, and whispered, "What's the move? What's the first step?"
Su Qingyun touched and covered her face. Her father was really not very good at it.
Wu Chengcang's eyes were bright, "Xiao Su, you are a great talent! I will teach you how to play chess." It's rare, it's rare, he also has the day to guide others to play chess.
Wu Chengcang cheered up and began to teach Su Aimin how to play chess seriously.
"The first step in chess is usually..."
Su Aimin listened carefully.
One of the two dared to teach, the other dared to learn. The other three stood around and couldn't help but laugh at the interaction between the two.
After a few games, Su Aimin gradually understood the specific rules. He smiled, a little embarrassed, "This is the first time in so many years that I know how chess is played."
Wu Chengcang was also very surprised. He looked at him and said: "You can teach me."
But after two more rounds, he gradually stopped laughing.
"General." Su Aimin pushed a chess piece and directly defeated Wu Chengcang's army. He slapped his head, he couldn't believe it, "I won?"
Wu Xiangdong looked at his father's face where the smile gradually disappeared, and tried hard to hold back his laughter, "Yes, you won."
Wu Chengcang looked at the chessboard, was silent for a long time, and gritted his teeth at Su Aimin, "You are really an amazing talent!"
Su Aimin, who always knew how to wink, immediately shrank his neck, "No, no, I'll just say I can't do it. Uncle Wu, how about we not do it?"
"No, try again!" He didn't believe it. A person who had just learned to play chess could beat him. It must be luck this time!
Twenty minutes later, Wu Chengcang silently cleaned up the chessboard, "That's it for today's chess game. That's it."
Su Qingyun smiled, it would be impolite to continue.
"We're ready to eat, Aimin, come and serve the food!" Qin Ying shouted in the kitchen.
Su Aimin ran to the kitchen as if he had received an amnesty, "I'll go take a look."
Wu Xiangdong and the other three laughed, not caring about Wu Chengcang's dark face.
"Why are you laughing? Why are you laughing? Eat!"
The two families sat down to eat and chatted about their current situation. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious. What was rare was that Wu Xiangdong and Su Aimin, two people with huge differences in status and experience, could chat together. They were both surprised.
Wu Xiangdong was very surprised. In his opinion, although Su Aimin was from a rural area and did not have much education, he had profound insights into various things. He did not just say it casually. He obviously had his own thoughts in it. This was very important. Very rare.
"It's a pity that talents like Brother Aimin are found in the crop fields. If you study for a few more years, you might have the opportunity to do something for the people. Some of your views, I didn't even think of them. They are rare."
Su Aimin chuckled, "This is not really a point of view. I grew up in a rural area, at the bottom of society, and have seen too much. I am just telling what I have seen."
"Sometimes, it's normal to stand too high and ignore what's below."
Su Aimin's words made Wu Xiangdong stunned, and he began to think seriously, and finally said seriously: "Brother Aimin, you are right, maybe we people sometimes stand too high, and are used to looking down and up, and forget to Looking down."
"Look, Brother Xiangdong, I can't say anything like looking up and down. I only know some straightforward swear words. You are better."
Wu Xiangdong laughed, "It just needs to be straightforward! Pure, unmodified things are the most real."
In this world, it is always the most sincere and straightforward things that touch people's hearts the most.
