The Red Era: The Crowd in the Siheyuan

Chapter 537 New Trend
"You think too highly of Uncle Yan, Zhuzi. With this little money I have, I guess it's only enough to buy two wheels.

Besides, I'm already very old, please don't break my old bones.

As for your question about reselling, antiques are small and inconspicuous, so I dare to tamper with them, but I don't dare to tamper with something as big as a car.
Unless you give me a car supply certificate, I dare to get it.
As for the car, forget it."

Seeing that Yan Bugui had quickly set his sights on the vehicle supply certificate, He Yuzhu didn't know whether to say that he had a keen sense of smell or something else. In the end, he could only give him a thumbs up.
Just as he was about to speak, Xu Damao ran in from outside with an embarrassed look on his face, which aroused Yan Bugui's curiosity.
"Da Mao, what are you doing? You look like you've been chased by a dog."

Xu Damao first turned around and closed the gate of the courtyard, then took a breath for a while, and then said,
"Hey, I went to an acquaintance's house to dance. I don't know which bastard reported us. Fortunately, I arranged for someone to tip us off in advance, otherwise I would have to go to the police station today."

Then, he pointed at the brand new bicycles in He Xiao's hands and asked,

"Zhu Zi, it couldn't be you who reported it, why did you let He Xiao get the bicycle out for no reason?"

Hearing this guy's nonsense, He Yuzhu didn't bother to be polite with him and directly retorted,

"Are you blind? Can't you see this is a new bicycle?

If I really wanted to report you, I would have done it at the beginning of the year. Why wait until now? Why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself? I don’t care what you do. "

As soon as He Yuzhu finished his retort, Yan Bugui smiled and explained.
"Da Mao, Qing Qing and He Xiao did well in the entrance exam this year. Zhu Zi was very generous and took them to buy new bicycles.
If you don’t need a ticket, I estimate it will cost more than 400 yuan.”

After listening to Yan Bugui's words and looking at the brand new bicycles in He Xiao and He Qing's hands, Xu Damao realized that he had misunderstood.

"What pillar? I was wrong. I shouldn't have said nonsense when I couldn't see clearly.

By the way, Zhuzi, speaking of college, He Ying and Yue Jin will graduate in a year, right? How do you plan for this?"

Seeing Xu Damao change the subject, He Yuzhu was too lazy to argue with him too much, so as not to get angry.

"What can I do? I'll just wait for the school to assign me something.
He Ying will probably return to his old unit, the Leap Forward. According to the regulations for returning to one's hometown after graduation, he will definitely stay in Beiping, but it is not known yet which department he will be assigned to."

Hearing the two talking about this, Yan Bugui also became interested and complimented them with a smile.

"Zhu Zi, He Ying will be the company commander when he returns this time. He has a bright future ahead of him. He will definitely be able to work in a ministry in the future. There will be someone to take over your cause, Zhu Zi."

He Yuzhu knew that Yan Bugui was speaking from the heart. Given his current situation, he would not worry about his children and grandchildren, so there was no need for him to curry favor with him.

So I smiled sincerely.

"Haha, this is all thanks to Xiao'e. If it were just me, I would probably only be able to teach a few alley urchins."

Hearing this, Yan Bugui nodded involuntarily. He first looked at Yan Jiecheng's closed door, then looked at He Yuzhu and Xu Damao with some envy.
"It's a good old saying.
A good woman brings prosperity to three generations, a fierce woman destroys a family, a virtuous wife brings less trouble to her husband, and a filial son brings peace to his father.
Your Xiao'e and Damao's teacher Ran are both ladies from wealthy families. They received a different education from ordinary people since childhood.
We are both children who grew up in the same yard.
Your He Ying and He Xiao, Damao's Wen Yuan and Wen Zhao have been more sensible than our Wen Tao and Zhang Saozi's Bang Geng since they were young. Isn't it because their mothers taught them well? "

Not only Yan Bugui, but even Xu Damao nodded in agreement.

"No, I have never worried about Wenyuan and his studies over the years. They are all taken care of by our teacher Ran. We have two sons, one is studying at Yanjing Normal University and the other is studying at a key high school. Our Xu family is very proud of this.
Uncle Yan, you don't know that my parents are not easy to get along with. Ever since Wenyuan was admitted to university, he has been polite to Qiuye every time he sees her.
It’s because their eldest grandson is a college student, which makes them proud.”

Hearing the proud look on his face when he mentioned his wife and children, He Yuzhu looked at the door with a hint of meaning and asked back with a smile,
"Then why have you been running out to dance for more than a year when you have nothing to do? Aren't you afraid that Teacher Ran will get angry with you?"

"Tsk, I just went there to dance, I didn't do anything bad. I'm the head of the factory's propaganda department, I have to care about the spiritual life of the factory workers. Dancing is popular now, I definitely can't fall behind.
You think everyone is like you. You dressed like this when you were 20, and you still dress like this now that you are over 40.

It hasn't changed in more than 20 years.

You said Uncle Yan, this guy Zhuzi is a hypocrite, right? "

"Yes, a little bit. Ever since Zhuzi came back from the peninsula, he has always had a bowl cut, a Zhongshan suit, and old Beijing cloth shoes. He only wore a military uniform for a while in 67 and 68, and it has hardly changed in more than 20 years."

"That's right. I haven't seen him wearing a receptionist suit or loafers in all these years. It's amazing."

As Xu Damao was complaining, there was a knock on the door. He was so scared that he immediately shrank his neck and looked back carefully.
"Who?"

"I, Xu Damao, what are you doing in there? Why are you closing the door in broad daylight?"

Hearing Ran Qiuye's voice, Xu Damao subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly walked over to open the door.
"I'm coming."

The door opened, and seeing Xu Damao's slightly embarrassed appearance, Ran Qiuye glared at him unhappily.
"What are you doing? Why are you closing the door? Did you get caught by the joint defense team again? I told you not to go dancing, but you refused to listen."

After being scolded by Ran Qiuye, Xu Damao smiled a little awkwardly.
"Hey, I'm just bored at home. I've watched those TV series over and over again for about 800 times and I'm tired of them.
By the way, what are you and Sister Xiao'e planning to do? Why did you buy so much red cloth? "

Ran Qiuye knew Xu Damao very well. Although he was not very stable, he would not mess around outside. So she was too lazy to pay attention to him and patted the red cloth on her hand.

"We have a new red skirt in Beijing now. Xiao'e and I went to the department store to take a look today. Not only is it expensive, but there are also many people lining up.

We discussed it and decided to just grab some cloth and make it ourselves."

Seeing this, Xu Damao did not ask any more questions, but instead told the interesting story he heard from Director Yang of the steel mill.

"Uncle Yan and I were just talking about Zhuzi being a hypocrite.

You two are quite fashionable.

When the skirt is finished, wear it out to compare with others. I heard from Director Yang and others that it is popular among girls in Songhu to compare clothes. It is called "Zhanqun" and many people participate. "

Ran Qiuye had never heard of the term "skirt-cutting". But as a teacher, she couldn't bring herself to wear beautiful clothes and compete with others.

Then he spat at Xu Damao.
"Go away, you also said that it was something a little girl did. I am over 40 years old and old, and I am not laughing at people.

It would be fine to let Qingqing and Huaihua go, but I'll just forget it."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Lou Xiao'e came up with a new idea, and then said to He Qing who was watching the fun nearby,
"Qingqing, Hexiao, go to Shichahai and call Xiaomin over. Mom will make new skirts for you."

"I know mom!"
