“It’s time to get home!”

Taking off the padlock from the yard door, Feng Xiaochen pushed open the yard door, shouted, then turned around and made an invitation gesture to Du Xiaodi, who was a little excited and shy after him:

"Master Xiaodi, please."

The same car returned to the capital, Feng Xiaochen joked with Du Xiaodi a lot in the sleeper car. Du Xiaodi had evolved from being at a loss at the beginning to being able to deal with it easily. Hearing that Feng Xiaochen was making fun of it again, she was not polite, so she raised her legs and stepped into the small yard, looked around, and shouted in surprise: "Xiaochen, is this the yard you mentioned that the Economic Committee assigned to your grandma to live in? Is this too big?"

"Overall, it's just a dozen houses. If I want to marry three wives and four concubines in the future and have more than a dozen children, I'm afraid it's not enough to live in it." Feng Xiaochen said casually.

"Bah! You think about beauty!" Du Xiaodi covered her mouth and smiled slightly, treating Feng Xiaochen's great ideals as a dream.

Feng Xiaochen moved all the local specialties that Ruan Phuc Gen gave to Du Xiaodi into the yard, then closed the yard door and said, "Xiaodi, you can live here these days. I now live in the room on the east side of the north land, and you can live in the room on the west side, with the bed and bedding ready-made."

"Is that good?" Du Xiaodi smiled, "Then I will thank Director Feng."

Feng Xiaochen pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "What's the point of saying thank you alone? You have to take some practical action, right?"

"What practical action?"

"Uh...at least, you have to be responsible for helping me cook these days, right?"

Feng Xiaochen said dumbly. He actually hoped that Du Xiaodi would agree with him, at least, have intimate contact. However, with the social atmosphere in the early 1980s, if he dared to say this, he believed that Du Xiaodi would turn against him in an instant, then beat him up first, then send him to the police station, and sentence him to ten or eight years. There is no way, let's follow the local customs, who has allowed him to travel to this era?

"It's okay to cook, I'm doing it very well." Du Xiaodi never thought that Feng Xiaochen would have these colorful intestines. She was mentally prepared to be the hostess for a few days. Cooking is simply not a problem for the girl who grew up in a poor family.

The two of them went back to their own room. Du Xiaodi picked up some water from the faucet in the yard, went back to the room to wash up, took off her dirty clothes on the train, changed into a pretty spring outfit, and her hair was finely combed. When she walked out, Feng Xiaochen was stunned and drooled all over the floor.

"Good, it turns out that my Xiaodi is so beautiful. Why didn't I pay attention?" Feng Xiaochen said complimentingly as the girl picked up what she liked to hear.

"I'm not pretty at all?" Du Xiaodi asked with a fake pout.

"So it's..." Feng Xiaochen thought for a while and said, "It turns out he is handsome, wearing work clothes and work hat. He looks handsome, but less feminine."

"What about now?"

"It's different now. It's shiny and innocent, like a little girl next door, making me think..."

"Just think of something?"

"I just thought we should go out for dinner..." Feng Xiaochen changed his words urgently, avoiding a possible gang fight.

Because I just came back and had no food at home, the two of them could only go to the restaurant outside to have dinner. After leaving the yard door and walking side by side with Feng Xiaochen, Du Xiaodi felt uncomfortable all over. It seemed that people on the street were looking at them, and everyone whispering was talking about her relationship with Feng Xiaochen. She turned her head and looked at Feng Xiaochen, and whispered: "Xiaochen, why are you doing so close to me? How bad are you seeing?"

"Are you close?" Feng Xiaochen looked at the distance between him and Du Xiaodi and said with a smile: "Xiaodi, how far can you let me go? Isn't it planned to travel a mile? Those who know that we are friends, and those who don't know think I am a policeman and are following you."

Du Xiaodi was most worried about what they were seen by acquaintances, but she really met an acquaintance. Although this acquaintance only knew Feng Xiaochen, but not Du Xiaodi, she was the most gossiped person among the people Feng Xiaochen knew.

"Hey, Xiao Feng, are you back from Haidong? This is your girlfriend, oh, she's so pretty..."

Liu Yanping, director of the Administrative Office of the Reinstallation Office, was holding two cloth bags containing vegetables in her hand. She stood in front of them, looking up and down at Du Xiaodi, and praised her with tsk.

"Master Du, this is Director Liu of the Administrative Department of our Reinstallation Office. Director Liu, this is Master Du of Songjiang Tongyuan Boiler Factory, a senior welder who has learned welding technology in Japan. She and I have just met because she helped the Hoi'an Chemical Machinery Factory in Haidong. "

Feng Xiaochen's lies opened his mouth and said. How could Liu Yanping be deceived? After thinking about it, she laughed and said, "Xiao Feng, are you raiding with your Sister Liu? Last time you helped the mechanical department repair the clamp truck in the main camp, how did I remember a lesbian from Tongyuan Boiler Factory also participated? Could it be this little Master Du, right?"

"Is that true?" Feng Xiaochen knew that the lie was exposed, and there was no embarrassment on his face. Instead, he looked surprised. He turned to Du Xiaodi and asked, "Master Du, is it you who was the emergency repair of the camp? Oh my, why didn't I recognize it when I see my face-blindness?"

Du Xiaodi was knocked down by Feng Xiaochen's shameless thunder. People have already said that. Are you still pretending to be interesting? Why are you face-blind? How can you be blind like this if you face-blind? She glared at Feng Xiaochen, then smiled and said to Liu Yanping: "Director Liu, my name is Du Xiaodi, I am a welder in Tongyuan Boiler Factory. You are right. Last time the camp was repaired, Director Feng and I met this time...well, we met by chance."

"A coincidence? Oh, it's a coincidence. It's a coincidence. What else can I do? By the way, it's called "I'm lucky to meet you for thousands of miles. Does that mean?" Liu Yanping giggled and joked. What happened to these two young people? Liu Yanping could tell at a glance. At least, the look of this girl glaring at Feng Xiaochen was not the expression of an ordinary welder to a deputy director. Without a story, how could she be so intimate?

However, since Feng Xiaochen and Du Xiaodi didn't admit it, Liu Yanping didn't say much, she slapped her and disappeared tactfully. However, Du Xiaodi blushed and simply dragged her back a few steps, and no longer dared to walk side by side with Feng Xiaochen.

Feng Xiaochen brought Du Xiaodi to Huiming Restaurant. When the boss Qi Linhua saw Feng Xiaochen bringing a girl to eat, he understood it and arranged a secluded corner for them. He also deliberately cooked a few good dishes for them. He said "use it slowly" and consciously avoided it.

"Come on, let's change the taste after eating the rice with a bowl for a day. This Master Qi used to be a chef in a state-owned restaurant. He has a very good craftsmanship. He cooked today, but it is his specialty. Xiaodi, try it." Feng Xiaochen handed Du Xiaodi a pair of chopsticks and said with a smile.

Although Ruan Phucen told his distant nephew to arrange meals for Feng Xiaochen and Du Xiaodi, the food on the train was just like that, barely enough to eat enough, and it was not delicious. Smelling the fragrance of the dishes on the table, Du Xiaodi's greed was also hooked up. She took the chopsticks, smiled shyly, and then took a chopstick and stuffed the dishes into her mouth. After chewing a few bites, a strange glow appeared in her eyes.

"It's really delicious!" Du Xiaodi said, "I've been in Japan for a year and have eaten Japanese food every day. I'm tired of it. The food in our Chinese is still delicious."

Feng Xiaochen asked with a smile: "You helped Ruan Phucen a few days ago. Didn't he arrange some good food for you?"

Du Xiaodi said: "Director Ruan is quite enthusiastic. It seems that he specially hired a chef in the city to cook for me. But I am really not used to the taste of their place. It is too light. Some dishes are even sugar-filled, which is completely different from the taste of our Songjiang."

"Why don't you say it? You can let them change it."

"How can I be so embarrassed, I am also kind."

"Oh, face is a damn thing!" Feng Xiaochen sighed exaggeratedly, "Okay, come here to make up for it well, and we will come here to have dinner every day in the future."

"How can that be? This costs more money!" Du Xiaodi scolded, "You will tell me where the vegetable market is later. I will buy some vegetables, and we will cook at home in the future."

"Yeah, that's fine, alas, it's really not OK to have a mistress in this family." Feng Xiaochen said.

Du Xiaodi angrily said, "What are you talking about? What mistress!... By the way, Xiaochen, how do you usually eat? Does your unit have a canteen?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "Our unit has only more than 20 people, so there is no cafeteria. Other colleagues have homes in Beijing. They eat at home in the morning and evening, and bring a meal to the unit to eat at noon. I am a bachelor and my home is not in the capital, so I can only eat outside all day long. This Huiming restaurant is my designated cafeteria."

"Ah? You eat here every day, so why don't you be poor?" Du Xiaodi said in surprise, and even felt a little distressed. When she was in the factory, she had a few chances to go out to eat a year. In her subconscious, eating outside is a very grand thing and very expensive. Unexpectedly, Feng Xiaochen actually regarded the restaurant as a canteen. If this continues, even if there is a gold mountain at home, he will have to be poor.

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "It's not that good. The dishes here are not expensive. I definitely don't need to order so many dishes by myself. They are just one dish, two bowls of rice, three or four dollars."
