The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 395 You deserve half of the military medal!
Zhang Shenfei had just walked into the yard with the deaf old lady when he heard Liu Haizhong practicing again, and he couldn't help but stop.

It’s really strange. I’ve been hearing this scene of the Liu family beating their children for more than ten years. Why don’t I get tired of it?
Xu Damao originally wanted to make fun of the Liu family when he went out, but when he went out, he saw Zhang Shenfei and the deaf old lady standing side by side in the yard, and they seemed to be listening to the noise from the Liu family.

Although he was somewhat surprised how these two people got together during the Chinese New Year, he still put on a smile and said, "Happy New Year, Brother Dafei."

After greeting, he turned to look at the deaf old lady and said, "And old lady, happy New Year to you too."

The deaf old lady snorted with disdain and replied indifferently: "What did you say? I can't hear you clearly."

I am obviously over 70 years old and the second oldest person in the entire courtyard, but you, Xu Damao, acted as if you didn't even notice me and greeted Zhang Shenfei first. Isn't this clearly a sign of contempt?
In addition, she has always looked down on Xu Damao, so she couldn't help but want to pretend to be deaf and muddle through, and make the other person feel uncomfortable.

Xu Damao cursed Lao Bidden in his heart. He was well aware of the deaf old lady's ability to pretend to be deaf and dumb. He thought that she was dissatisfied with him and was pretending not to hear.

But who cares? ? You old idiot, do you really think I want to care about you? If it weren't for Brother Dafei, the deputy factory director, I wouldn't even look at you too much.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Shenfei and smiled: "This old lady is really old. She can't hear when you talk to her... Brother Dafei, what are you doing in the backyard now?"

"Our old lady said that although there are a lot of people at home, she feels lonely because no one can talk to her, so she asked me to ask the deaf old lady to come over and keep her company." Zhang Shenfei replied.

"Hey, your old lady is still kind and righteous!!" Xu Damao gave a thumbs up.

Zhang Shenfei's words were euphemistic, but they all lived in the same courtyard, so who didn't know who? Xu Damao knew that the old lady of the Zhang family wanted to find someone to talk to. In fact, wasn't it just because she felt sorry for the old deaf lady because she was old, so she gave her a bowl of New Year's meal? ?

He looked at the deaf old lady with a mocking smile on his face: "Old lady, you have to thank my brother Dafei. Anyway, in our house, I don't want to have outsiders during the New Year."

This was really unpleasant to say, but Xu Damao smiled secretly in his heart that he had finally turned the tables.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the deaf old lady said leisurely: "So people, no matter what time, must have children and grandchildren. Look at your grandmother Zhang's house, it's full of people, and there's not enough room for one table.

"When those eleven fat boys get married, they will bring back eleven wives, and each family will have three or five big fat boys! ! Tsk tsk tsk, won't life be prosperous then?"

"Da Mao, I have watched you grow up. I say this with no hidden meaning. I am just worried about you. I am afraid that you will end up like me when you are old..."

Hiss! ! Damn it! Xu Damao’s face suddenly turned as cold as ice.

This deaf old lady is murderous, she hinted that I have been married for so many years and my wife's belly is still not moving!!!
The following part is even more cruel, it is a curse that I will be extinct like her in the future!!!
The most important thing is that they curse me all they want, and yet they do it in the name of caring and loving me, leaving me no room for blame. This is simply despicable.

Xu Damao wanted to slap the old lady in the face, but he still forced a smile on his face: "Who said it wasn't true? I know that you love the younger generation and feel sorry for me.

But I am still young, and I will have plenty of opportunities to have children in the future. Unlike some older people, who cannot have children even if they want to. During festivals, they can only count on the young to help them and give them food to eat. "

This was a really powerful blow. The deaf old lady slammed her crutch on the ground with a bang. She was about to get angry when she heard footsteps coming from the back of the courtyard.

Then, it was Liu Guangqi's voice that I hadn't heard for a long time, "Brother Dafei, Xu Damao, old lady, long time no see, happy new year to you all!!"

Liu Guangqi is back???

When they turned around, they saw Liu Guangqi, wearing a new Zhongshan suit, and his wife, who was unfamiliar to the neighbors in the courtyard, walking towards them through the moon gate with smiles on their faces.

Liu Guangqi's complexion was actually much better than when he was in the courtyard.

"Guangqi, Happy New Year." Zhang Shenfei said.

"Brother Guangqi, you too, since you are back for the New Year, why don't you come back earlier? If you had come back half an hour earlier, Guangtian wouldn't have been beaten on New Year's Day." After Xu Damao had bullied Liu Guangqi, he turned around and shouted at the Liu family's side room, "Uncle, don't beat the child on New Year's Day. Guangqi is back with his wife to celebrate the New Year!!! It's not good for your daughter-in-law to see you beating someone."

Although everyone knew that his father loved to beat his son, Liu Guangqi's face still changed slightly when he was bullied like this on New Year's Day.

While he was dissatisfied with Xu Damao, he was more resentful of his father. Although his father only beat the second and third sons and never beat him when he was growing up.

But when one's younger brothers are beaten, he would suffer from some stress disorder.

I always feel that if I'm not favored in the future, the belt will be swung back at me.

Now that he knew that his father was still training his two younger brothers during the New Year, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had made the wise decision to leave the courtyard and escape from his father's clutches.

Before they said a few words, they heard the door hit the wall and bounced back with a bang.

What followed was the unique muffled sound that the fat body with bangs made when running.

"Boss, you, huhu, you're back?" Liu Haizhong panted after he stood still. Behind him were the equally happy second aunt and the second and third sons of the Liu family with complicated expressions.

"Dad, Mom, I brought my wife back to celebrate the New Year and wish you two a happy new year." Liu Guangqi forced a smile.

"It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back. The New Year is about the family being together." The second aunt happily took her son's hand and was about to go home.

Liu Guangqi was excited at first, but now he calmed down a bit. He looked his son and daughter-in-law up and down, and found that they really came back for the New Year empty-handed. A trace of dissatisfaction suddenly flashed through his heart.

But he was a man who cared about his reputation. After all, he was in front of Zhang Shenfei, Xu Damao and the deaf old lady, so he didn't say anything. He put his hands behind his back, clenched his fists and coughed: "Director Zhang, Happy New Year. Well, I will go to your house early tomorrow morning to wish you a happy new year. By the way, I will report my thoughts and work to you."

Zhang Shenfei was about to graduate. What if he was assigned to work in the steel mill a year later? Liu Haizhong felt that it was necessary for him to get along well with him.

It was New Year's Day and Zhang Shenfei didn't want to talk about these things, so he just laughed it off.

He turned around and saw Xu Damao's wife coming out with a lot of bags: "Da Mao, are you going to your parents' house this year too?" he asked.

"Yeah, my parents are waiting for us." Xu Damao said, and turned to push his bicycle. "Brother Dafei, wait for me to come back from my parents' place and bring a bottle of good wine, and then we brothers can get together."

After saying that, he took everything from Guan Hongguo's hand, hung them on the handlebars of the bicycle, and the couple walked out of the courtyard one after the other.

The two of them left the yard. There were no people in the alley now. Guan Hongguo suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Da Mao, you've been drinking the wine you bought from Zhang Shenfei for so long, why is my stomach still not moving? Is it you or the wine?"

Men just can't stand hearing others say they are not good enough, especially when they really are not good enough, this kind of emotion of wanting to cover up one's mistakes reaches its peak.

Xu Damao's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, but he was afraid of offending his wife, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction: "The wine should be fine, otherwise when I come back from my parents' house, I will go find the old man and find out what happened to him at that time."

At the beginning, Yi Zhonghai drank the medicinal wine given by Zhang Shenfei, which made Yi Weihong pregnant with Yida Ma. In other words, Zhang Shenfei worked hard for Yida Ma to give birth to a child. The military medal belongs half to Yida Ma and half to Zhang Shenfei.

Xu Damao felt that since his wife's belly was not moving, he had to go and ask the uncle about it.

Guan Hongguo snorted without comment and ignored him. Anyway, she only gave Xu Damao one year, so if he couldn't have a baby, don't blame her for looking for someone else.

Seeing this, Xu Damao hurriedly pushed his bicycle a few steps and talked to her in a flattering way. However, Guan Hongguo responded in a casual manner.

……

It gets dark very early in the winter, and night falls at around five o'clock.

The sound of firecrackers popping could be heard in the alley, and then the noise became continuous. Boys and girls from each family rushed out of their homes, heading towards the red firecracker skins on the ground, jostling each other to look for duds.

After finding it, take the cannon apart, pour the gunpowder inside on the ground, and then light it with the dyed incense. With a sizzling sound, it becomes the simplest version of fireworks.

Cold green bean-sized fireworks appeared from time to time in the alley, but the children did not mind the coldness. They clapped their hands, laughed and danced when they saw the flames.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a voice shouting from the alley: "Erzhuzi, go home and eat."

"Bang Geng, Xiao Dang, go home."

"Zhang Fenjin, you bastard, how old are you? You don't stay at home during the New Year, but you go to fight with the kids for the duds? Aren't you ashamed? Do you want to die?"

"Mom, don't worry. You have little Eleven in your belly, and what about my sister? Don't get the baby upset." Zhang Fenjin said nonchalantly.

When the boys and girls heard the noise from their parents, they quickly put the duds they found into the pockets of their parents, turned around and ran towards the courtyards of their respective families.

You have to run. If you are slow to go back, you won't get beaten during the New Year, but you will definitely get scolded.

When we returned to the yard, we smelled the fragrance coming from each household's kitchen. We couldn't help swallowing our saliva. We felt hungry and our steps quickened.

Backyard, Lao Liu's house.

Because Liu Guangqi showed up at the last minute, Second Auntie changed the menu and served a large plate of shiny red and oily braised pork, and also cooked twice as many dumplings.

After the family sat down, the second aunt went to the cupboard to get some wine, while shouting: "Big brother, you are finally back. Your father has been thinking about you and was afraid that you would not come back for the New Year. You must drink a few more glasses with your father tonight."

"Okay, let Guangqi and my dad have a good drink tonight." Seeing that he didn't respond, Liu Guangqi's wife said to the second aunt with a smile.

"Okay, okay." The second aunt answered yes repeatedly.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu on the side looked at each other and curled their lips secretly.

Coming back empty-handed after the Chinese New Year, if it were them, they would have been beaten to death, but what about the eldest brother? ? He is still loved by his father and mother.

What kind of parents can be so biased? ! !
When I have the ability in the future, I will definitely leave this home. This thought came to the minds of both of them at the same time.

Liu Haizhong glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law who had already impatiently picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks, and coughed in dissatisfaction.

After seeing the other party put down his chopsticks awkwardly, he nodded with satisfaction.

After that, he walked to the chest of drawers and started adjusting the radio.

"Dad, let's eat first during the New Year. It doesn't matter if we miss one day of news." Liu Guangqi said.

Liu Haizhong glared at him, "What are you talking about? You won't listen to the instructions from your superiors during the New Year? We working class people must be aware of this and listen to every piece of news every day. Not only must we listen, but we must also think about it."

He is not bragging. In this courtyard, no one, even the third uncle and the first uncle, can understand policies better than him.

What is this? ? ! ! This is called specialization! ! When he becomes a leader in the future, this will be useful.

Liu Guangtian was beaten during the New Year's Day, and seeing that his mother was always trying to curry favor with his elder brother and sister-in-law, he was already full of anger.

Seeing his father pretending to be cool again, he couldn't help but retort, "Let me tell you, just because you listen to the radio every day, the steel mill didn't let you be a leader, it's a big loss for them."

This statement was obviously ironic, but Second Auntie didn't hear it. Instead, she slapped her thigh and said with regret:
"It's not that bad, your father just lacked an opportunity and was just unlucky.

Didn't the factory want to promote him to the position of workshop team leader two years ago? It was almost done. The documents were said to have been written, and the factory leaders also said that Lao Liu had worked diligently in the factory for so many years, and even if he had no merits, he had worked hard, so it was his turn to be the team leader.

But because your father only graduated from primary school and the other person only graduated from junior high school, your father was squeezed out. "

Talking about these things, Second Aunt sighed a lot. It was almost like that. Their family was almost a cadre family.

Liu Haizhong was extremely dissatisfied with his wife for being obedient and unable to hear the hidden meaning behind her words. He was even more indignant when she told him that she had only graduated from primary school.

"What are you talking about? I'm Gao Xiao! Gao Xiao!!!"

After all, he is in the fourth grade of primary school and has been in it for a month. Even if he drops out, he is still in the senior primary school.

The second aunt said awkwardly: "Yes, Mom remembered it wrongly, your father is Gao Xiao."

He's pretending to be cool again. The whole courtyard knows that he is in primary school, but he's still deceiving himself here every day... Liu Guangtian curled his lips.

Liu Guangqi, who was standing by, was so spoiled that he actually laughed out loud: "If you ask me, it's a great blessing for the steel mill and even the national steel industry that you were not made a leader."

Phew! Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, and Liu Guangqi's own wife, who had been suppressing their laughter for a long time, couldn't hold back their laughter any longer after hearing this.

Liu Haizhong's face changed. His love for his eldest son was finally suppressed by the fact that he had been challenging his bottom line since he entered the family. He said in a deep voice, "Big brother, how are you doing at your father-in-law's house?"
