For lunch, it was Li Tong and Zhao Chunrong who cooked together.
Wu Jun wanted to help, but the small kitchen had no one to stand on.
Hot and sour shredded potato, pork with cucumber, braised aubergine, moo shu pork, ground pork, and a roast chicken.
A few small, home-cooked dishes filled a small round table.
“Xiao Wu, you and Tong Tong eat more meat, you both work and need to replenish your nutrition, I can’t eat anything too greasy.”Zhao Chunrong eagerly greeted Wu Jun.
“Thank you Auntie, then I won’t be polite.”Wu Jun broke open his chopsticks and was really nonchalant, first chucking a piece of pork head meat and gorging on it.
Zhao Chunrong watched Wu Jun eating, she was quite happy, but she always felt that there was something missing on the table.
“Oops, I forgot to buy wine, Tong Tong quickly go quickly go, buy a few bottles of beer for Little Wu.”Zhao Chunrong finally found out what was missing, and hurriedly instructed her daughter to buy wine.
“Wu Jun do you drink white or beer?”Li Tong was busy cleaning and buying groceries this morning and forgot about it.
Wu Jun busily said, “No, no, just drink water, I still have something to do in the afternoon, I can’t drink, thank you auntie.”
Zhao Chunrong said with concern: “Really don’t drink ah? Like Little Wu, you are big bosses, often go out to socialise, it’s not really a big deal to drink a little bit of wine.”
Wu Jun laughed: “I’m not a big boss, I’m just a small businessman, Auntie is too much for me, I won’t drink wine, today’s food is so good, just eat the food.”
“Then eat more vegetables, there is no refrigerator at home, can’t put things in the summer, don’t leave it.”Seeing Wu Jun insisted, Zhao Chunrong also no longer persuade him.
After a meal, it’s already one o’clock in the afternoon, a table of dishes really did not have anything left, most of them went into Wu Jun’s stomach.
Zhao Chunrong had the habit of taking a nap, after cleaning up, Li Tong took Wu Jun to his own room across the street.
Li Tong’s room, is in the back of the shaded side, never see the sunlight, generally speaking such a room is a little cheaper than the room in the sunny side.
Plus the building is densely packed with rooms, like a labyrinth, the difference between daytime and nighttime is not much.
After Li Tong brought Wu Jun into the room, she turned on the light of the room.
Under the light, the small room was simple, but cleaned and decorated very warmly.
The only thing worth something in the room was probably the set of live broadcasting equipment on the small desk.
“Li Tong, have you ever thought of returning to Shimen to develop?”Wu Jun revisited old matters and asked Li Tong.
Although there were no more relatives in his hometown, but after all, it was also the place where he was born and raised.
It was impossible for a northern drifter to drift for the rest of his life.
Hometown is a place that rushes to be very warm when mentioned to anyone.
Especially for people like Li Tong who drifted north all year round.
Hearing Wu Jun bring up this topic again, Li Tong looked a bit entangled.
The work of Kyoto Hotel, Li Tong really felt very good.
She didn’t have to work in the sun and wind like she did before, and the money she earned was enough to support herself and her mother’s expenses, and she was able to save a few thousand dollars every month.
Li Tong is very satisfied with the current life, it is rare to have such a stable time like these two years.
If she went back to Shimen to develop, everything would have to start all over again, and she would have to break the current stability.
“Are you stupid?”Seeing Li Tong’s tangled face, Wu Jun smiled and joked.
“Where am I stupid? You’re the one who’s stupid.”Li Tong blankly glanced at Wu Jun after she came back to her senses.
“Would I invite you back and make your life worse than it is now?”Wu Jun greatly grinned as he sat on the chair that Li Tong sat on during the live broadcast and said with a smile, “It’s a goodbye for three days, not to mention that it’s been eight years since the farewell, so go back and have me to cover you.”
“I ……” Li Tong said in a serious tone, “Wu Jun, I know that your career is now very successful, but ……”
“Nothing but, but, just.”Wu Jun didn’t wait for Li Tong to finish, interrupted, “I need you very much.”
“Ah?”Li Tong looked at Wu Jun with a surprised face, was he confessing to himself?
Wu Jun continued, “I’m going to set up an MCN company, I’m going to discover and build a group of anchors myself, you happen to be doing this again, so how about mixing with me?”
“Can I do it? You saw it last night, my live broadcasts are pretty mediocre.”Li Tong didn’t have much confidence in this.
“How do you know you can’t do it if you don’t try?”Wu Jun said in a good order, “You’re only part-time now, just like a group actor in an actor, after professional guidance and training, it’s definitely a different state.”
“Don’t you want to have a home with Auntie, a house of your own, so that Auntie can have a better life, is this silo building that good?”
“No air-conditioning, no hot water, communal kitchen, communal bathroom, Li Tong, can we have some pursuit?”
“Even if you don’t do it for yourself, for the sake of auntie, if you don’t put up a fight, how do you know you can’t do it?”
Wu Jun’s words, said Li Tong very moved.
In the past two years, he was indeed too contented with the status quo.
Feel life is better than before, live better than before, a little deposit, feel very peaceful, very satisfied.
Completely no longer in the beginning in order to make more money, send express delivery to ten o’clock at night, eleven o’clock so desperate.
“Thank you Wu Jun, thank you for waking me up.”Li Tong raised her eyes to look at Wu Jun, took a deep breath, and said with a firm face, “Please teach me more in the future, if there is anything that I did not do well, there is no need to be polite to me.”
“This state is right.”Wu Jun smiled and said, “Tomorrow go and quit your job at the hotel, come back to Shimen with me, the days of drifting in the north are over.”
“Good.”Li Tong didn’t ask about the salary package of the new job and nodded her head in agreement, she trusted her tablemate.
“Then it’s a deal, have time to clean up the house, I’ll go back for a nap.”Wu Jun got up from his chair and stretched.
Li Tong said, “I’ll walk you out.”
Wu Jun didn’t reject Li Tong’s kindness.
After making seven turns when he came in, he had really forgotten how to get out.
Getting lost and wandering off in the middle of the city village would be too humiliating.
“Tablemate, thank you.”
At the entrance of Zhenggezhuang village, Li Tong had a complicated mood after she watched Wu Jun leave by taxi.
Wu Jun’s appearance was like throwing a big stone into Li Tong’s calm as water life.
This reunion time is short, but to Li Tong’s life has brought great changes, but also affect her future life.
On the way back to the hotel, Wu Jun first contacted Bian Xuedao, let him drive to Beijing to help Li Tong move.
Although there is nothing valuable at home, let her throw it away, I guess she can’t give it up.
Taking the train with a big bag and a patient, Li Tong’s mother, was also inappropriate.
“I don’t have anything here, I’ll go over tonight, we haven’t had a drink together for a long time.”As long as it was something that Wu Jun ordered, Bian Xuedao was very proactive.
Wu Jun smiled and said, “Then brother-in-law will come over and navigate Hongfu Hotel directly.”
“Okay, I’ll check in with your sister, I’ve gone over before dark, so first, hang up.”Bian Xuedao finished to hang up the phone.
“Wait brother-in-law, bring someone over when you come, I’ll give him your contact information in a moment, let him contact you.”Wu Jun finished his explanation, only then did he end the call.
