Chapter 256 The Cause and Effect of Human Relationships
Fang Yanyun and Ikuyoko are so obsessed with instant noodles that Zhang Dongliang is too tired to complain. Eat if you like, but you will get annoyed if you eat too much.
The special aroma of instant noodles is indeed a fatal temptation for people who have just come into contact with this kind of food. I also went through this stage when I was a child.
People say that instant noodles are junk food. Let’s put aside whether it is junk or not. The fact that the taste is so attractive is its greatest success.
Today is Sunday, and Zhang Dongliang stayed at home and did not go out.
He Yushui and Yu Haitang finished their high school graduation examinations yesterday afternoon.
Today, the two of them returned to school to pack up their belongings, waiting to get their diplomas and attend the graduation ceremony. Their high school days will be completely over.
Zhang Dongliang saw Qin Jingru taking two more pieces of cloth and preparing to make clothes for the child.
So I asked in confusion: "Jingru, didn't I see you making clothes with flowered fabrics a few days ago? Have you finished that?"
Qin Jingru blushed for a rare moment: "Brother Dongliang, I'm so stupid. I didn't do that well. I'll find another piece of cloth and make it again."
Zhang Dongliang smiled secretly in his heart: "I know you can't do it. This is indeed not your strong point."
"Jingru, stop making clothes and prepare them later. When Haitang and Yushui come back, we will celebrate for them today."
Before he finished speaking, someone outside asked, "Is Mr. Zhang Dongliang home?"
Well, a guest is coming.
When Zhang Dongliang opened the door, he saw that it was Ma Fuzhen, special consultant of the Sijiucheng Art Troupe, who came to visit him with her four apprentices.
"Oh, Teacher Ma, you are a rare guest. Please come in and sit down." Zhang Dongliang hurriedly welcomed the guest into the house.
"Hello, Teacher Zhang." "Hello, Teacher Zhang."
Sun Jinlong, Zhang Lei, Yin Yumei and Wang Na greeted Zhang Dongliang respectively.
Consultant Ma, former team leader Ma, came in person with his four apprentices, and they had no good intentions.
"Teacher Zhang, it's been almost half a year since our last gathering at your place," Captain Ma asked with a smile.
"Yes, Captain Ma, the last time was in July. It's been almost half a year now."
Zhang Dongliang showed an emotional look on his face.
He was not really lamenting the passing of half a year, but rather lamenting that, combined with the time in his own world and the time in other worlds, many years had passed.
Zhang Dongliang's expression of emotion actually moved Captain Ma so much that he felt that Zhang Dongliang was truly a man who valued friendship and loyalty.
Hey, this is such a beautiful misunderstanding.
"Mr. Zhang's lover, are you going to make clothes?"
Captain Ma looked at the floral cloth in Qin Jingru's hand and asked curiously.
"Hello, Captain Ma." Qin Jingru greeted Captain Ma.
Qin Jingru had seen and recognized Captain Ma and his companions when they came last time.
"I'm trying to make clothes for my kids, but I'm not very good at it and I haven't finished it yet."
Qin Jingru felt a little embarrassed and explained to Captain Ma.
Zhang Dongliang quickly added a few words on behalf of his wife: "Isn't my wife pregnant? She has been anxious to prepare clothes for the baby these days."
"Congratulations to Teacher Zhang. When the baby is born, don't forget to let us know when you eat wedding noodles."
Captain Ma congratulated Qin Jingru in advance, which made Qin Jingru extremely happy. These are the words that a prospective mother likes to hear the most.
After drinking a cup of tea and chatting for a while, Captain Ma got down to business.
"Teacher Zhang, I asked you to do that last time I came. Can you please write another song for us? I wonder how it went, Teacher Zhang?"
"It's almost ready. Captain Ma, please wait a moment. I'll go get the manuscript."
As soon as Captain Ma and the others arrived, Zhang Dongliang guessed why they came.
It's a favor that can't be delayed anyway. Besides, my first song was successfully released thanks to Captain Ma, so I still have to repay this favor.
Zhang Dongliang ran to the study and got the music score.
Zhang Dongliang was helpless and had to apologize in his heart and copy the song of his predecessor.
This song is a copy of "Yingshanhong", which is an interlude in the movie "Sparkling Red Star".
"'Mountain Rhododendron.'" Captain Ma took the music score and looked at it carefully. He beat the rhythm with his hands, hummed softly, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Teacher Xiao Zhang is indeed extraordinary, and his works are all masterpieces. This song can give Wang Na a good explanation. After all, she is my last disciple."
Captain Ma sighed inwardly.
Wang Na was even more excited and delighted when she heard the tune sung by Captain Ma. As people who work in this field and make a living from it, they can still tell whether a piece of music is good or not.
This song is enough to push herself to a higher level and realize her dream. Wang Na couldn't help but cast her eyes on Teacher Xiao Zhang, who was really her benefactor.
"I'm back~~"
The door was pushed open with a "dong" and Yu Haitang and He Yushui entered the room carrying a bunch of scattered things.
"Hey, there are guests." Yu Haitang suddenly realized that there were many people in the room and stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly.
Yu Haitang and He Yushui had met Captain Ma and her group before, so they were not unfamiliar to them.
"Hello, Captain Ma. I'm sorry for being rude just now." Yu Haitang was very generous and quickly pulled He Yushui aside to greet them.
"Yushui, have you brought back all your things from school? Do you still need my help to bring them back?"
Sure enough, Brother Dongliang cares most about himself.
He Yushui's face flushed: "I brought them all back. Brother Dongliang, don't worry."
Ignoring Yu Haitang who was about to get jealous, Zhang Dongliang continued to ask He Yushui: "Yushui, tell me what you want to eat today, and I'll make it for you."
He Yushui felt warm in her heart: "It's okay, Brother Dongliang, just put the things there, I'll do it, you go with the guests first."
Look, how considerate and obedient the rain is.
It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Captain Ma is not a pretentious person. He had lunch with Zhang Dongliang at noon.
With the hard work of Zhang Dongliang, He Yushui and Yu Haitang, they quickly prepared a large table of dishes.
This is mainly due to the fact that Zhang Dongliang provided a lot of cooked meat, otherwise it would not be so fast to cook it.
Qin Jingru just doesn't want to get pregnant, so she is generally not needed for this kind of thing. She just needs to be responsible for meals.
"Today is a double celebration for our family. First, we welcome our distinguished guest, Captain Ma, and second, we celebrate the graduation of Yushui and Haitang from high school. Come on, let's raise our glasses together and drink it up."
In the winter in Beijing, it is really pleasant to sit around the fire and drink in the warm gathering.
Young people are more susceptible to this atmosphere.
Except for Captain Ma who is an old comrade, the rest are young people, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.
After a few drinks, the fight started.
The first person to jump out and toast was Sun Jinlong.
"Teacher Zhang, I am where I am today because of your song. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Please allow me to use this glass of wine to express my feelings and wish Teacher Zhang a happy new year in advance and hope that she will have a baby soon."
Zhang Dongliang and Qin Jingru looked at each other and decided to drink the glass of wine.
