Chapter 151 Ma Wenbin and Ma's mother have dinner at the hotel

"Oh! Okay, this works too." Li Renyi said.

In fact, he was originally asked by Political Commissar Ma to ask Qing He and Ma Wenbin to meet again at his home, but he did not expect Li Kangri to say this.

"Are you alright?" Li Kangri asked. "If you are alright, I will go back! I still have things to do!"

"Okay, you go back!" Li Renyi said.

……

After Li Kangri left, Li Renyi immediately asked Xiao Liu to call Political Commissar Ma over.

After a while, Political Commissar Ma came in, "Old Li, how are you? Did the anti-Japanese just leave?"

"Well, let's go!" Li Renyi said.

"Have you talked about the dinner on Sunday?" asked Political Commissar Ma.

"Old Ma, I told you, I originally wanted to use the excuse of aiding the people because they wanted to eat Qinghe's cooking, but Kangri told us to go to his house, so..." Li Renyi said helplessly.

Hearing Li Renyi's words, Political Commissar Ma was also quite helpless, "Old Li, your Li family's daughter, hey! I really want her to marry Wenbin, and Wenbin likes her very much, so this matter caused a stir."

"Old Ma, you want it too! But I have no right and no choice, right? I have also told you about the matter with Xu Siyuan just now, just wait and see!" Li Renyi said.

"Hey, I just can't take it anymore. Is my son so unbearable?" Political Commissar Ma said, "I just don't believe it. You go ahead and do your thing. I'll call Wenbin's mother and ask them to carry out the next plan."

"What? What's the plan?" Li Renyi asked, "It's like a war."

"Of course not. We are treating this as a war. I'll go make a phone call first." Political Commissar Ma left Li Renyi's office with a smile.

Soon, Ma's mother received a call. When she heard Political Commissar Ma say that he had not made the appointment, her competitive spirit was aroused for a moment. So after hanging up the phone, she went to find her son, asked for leave for her son, went home to pack up, and went to Hongbin Building.

When they arrived at Hongbinlou, it was time for lunch, so they went in and sat in a private room.

Seeing that two men in military uniforms came in, the waiter hurried in and said politely, "What would you like to eat, both of you? I'll make it for you."

"Don't worry, can I ask you something?" said Ma's mother.

"Sure, sure. Just ask!" said the waiter politely.

"Is there a little girl named Li Qinghe cooking in your kitchen?"

Hearing what Ma's mother said, the waitress hesitated. She knew that Li Qinghe had a backer, and the manager was usually polite to her, so she said, "Well, what can I do for you?"

Seeing the waiter's attitude, Ma's mother knew that it was difficult to answer. There must be someone there, otherwise it wouldn't be like this, so she said with a smile, "Don't worry, comrade, we are not bad people. We know Li Qinghe and we came to see her today."

"Oh, is that so? You scared me to death. Haha, I'll go get her over for you." After saying that, the waiter was about to walk out.

"Wait, I'm not asking her to come over. You should order some dishes she cooked for us first." said Ma's mother.

"Okay, our chef Qinghe knows all the basic dishes, you can order." said the waiter.

"How about you introduce some of her specialties? Okay?"

"What's wrong with that?" the waiter said with a smile. "Speaking of Qinghe's dishes, the first thing to mention is the big plate chicken. It's so delicious. It smells delicious."

"Then give me one. Do you have any more?" said Ma's mother.

"Yes, this and..."

……

Soon, following the waiter's introduction, Ma's mother ordered four dishes and a soup, and then started waiting.

"Wenbin, have you ever eaten the dish called big plate chicken? I've never heard of it before?" asked Ma's mother.

"I have. They happened to be made in our company last time," said Ma Wenbin. "It tasted delicious! I almost ate my tongue."

Hearing what Ma Wenbin said, Ma's mother said in disbelief, "Is it as delicious as you said? Are you not a lover who is making delicious food?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? I do want it to work, but it also requires people to be willing!" Ma Wenbin said, "You'll know after you eat it."

"Why wouldn't you want to? Mom still says the same thing. My son is not bad. If we have more contact, he will definitely succeed. Just wait!"

……

Soon, while the mother and son were chatting, the dishes were served.

"Mom, this is the big plate of chicken, you try it." As he said that, Ma Wenbin picked up a potato with chopsticks and gave it to his mother, then waited.

After taking a bite, Ma's mother said, "It's really good. Chicken and potatoes can be cooked this way. It's really strange. I've never heard of it before."

"Of course you haven't heard of it. This dish is said to be created by Qinghe." Ma Wenbin said.

"Really?"

"Of course, that's what Uncle Li said last time." Ma Wenbin said.

"Hey, this little girl has this ability. Why don't we ask her to come over? Mom will give you an eye on it." Ma's mother said with a smile.

"I feel embarrassed when you call me." Ma Wenbin said with a red face.

"Virtue, why should a young man be shy?"

Just as they were talking! When the waiter brought the last soup, Ma's mother immediately said, "Comrade, can you call Master Xiao Li over so we can talk?"

"Well, okay! I'll try it. I'm busy now! What should I say? What's your name?" asked the waiter.

"Just say that Ma Wenbin came to see her, and her father's old comrade-in-arms was also there," said Ma's mother.

"Okay! Please wait a moment."

After a while, Li Qinghe walked in reluctantly. As soon as she heard what the waiter said, she knew it was the son of Political Commissar Ma, whom she had a blind date on that day. She didn't want to come at first, but later the manager persuaded her to come over to deal with it, so she had no choice but to come.

As soon as she entered the room, Qing He saw Ma Wenbin and a middle-aged woman. She asked in confusion, "Who are you? That day..."

"Ma Wenbin, haha, come here and sit down and talk." Ma Wenbin said.

"No, I'm still busy." Li Qinghe said, "Do you want to talk to me about something?"

This one sentence stumped Ma Wenbin. He had no choice but to look at his mother awkwardly. Seeing her son's eyes, Ma's mother said in her heart, "What a useless guy."

"Hey, this is Mr. Li's daughter! Look how pretty she is. And Wenbin, why don't you introduce her to mom?" Ma's mother said with a smile.

"Who are you?" Li Qinghe asked doubtfully.

"Qinghe, this is my mother. After dinner that day, I told me that the dishes you cook are delicious, so I brought my mother here to try them." Ma Wenbin introduced.

After hearing Ma Wenbin's introduction, Li Qinghe immediately understood, so she said, "Hello, Aunt Ma!"

"Oh my, this girl is so pretty, really pretty. My old Ma and your father have been comrades-in-arms for many years. Can you sit down and chat first?" said Ma's mother.

"No, Aunt Ma, I'm really busy in the kitchen. If you have something to say, just tell me. I have to go back to work after you finish talking!" Li Qinghe refused.

"Well...how about I talk to your manager?" said Ma's mother.

"No need. I'm busy as usual. I really can't spare the time. I have to go home and cook for my brother after I'm done. If you guys come and taste the food, it's delicious. I'm going to get busy now."

After saying that, Qing He left the private room without waiting for the Ma mother and son to speak.

“This…” Ma’s mother said awkwardly, “This child is quite serious and responsible, haha…”
