The leisurely life of rebirth.

Chapter 50 Dad's Choice

Fang Monan looked at the newcomer who was worshiping heaven and earth, and remembered the scene when he saw the bride for the first time. Mei couldn't describe it in one word, otherwise how would he be thieves?Let Liang Zi hide at home for a long time, and when Liang Zi and Fatty buy goods, she (Qiu Hongye) will take care of the business in the store, no worse than Liang Zi and the others.

After Fang Monan asked, he found out that he graduated from a prestigious university.Now she was curious, how did the college bag distribution fall to this level at that time, and she knew at a glance, what kind of mistress's face and devil's figure.

Fang Monan seemed to know why?Her (Qiu Hongye) has a very poetic and picturesque name. It is a woman who is extremely enchanting and exquisite.A pair of peach-blossom eyes are like two rippling autumn waters, and the movement of the eyes is like the vast mist in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, which makes people want to be drunk.The straight and beautiful jade nose outlines the most enchanting arc in the world, and a pair of pink lips, like overripe cherries, tempting to pick.Even if she was wearing a padded jacket that was squatting in the dirt, it could not hide her undulating devil figure, which was perfect and impeccable.She is really charming, a peerless stunner!

When Fang Monan talked to her, she had fox-like eyebrows, and when she rolled her eyes, there were all kinds of amorous feelings that were natural.

Fang Monan stared at her carefully, blushing unexpectedly, shyness and fear flashed in his eyes, but in the end he remained calm.It can be seen that she is trying her best to please Fang Monan, because Liang Zi mentioned that this little girl is not simple, and she hopes to get her approval. [

"Appearance is innate, there is no need to be so inferior. Although it is not necessary to show it boldly, there is no need to worry about it," Fang Monan said leisurely. "I don't know why you married brother Liang Zi, but I hope you don't hurt him."

"Liang Zi is a good man, I will not hurt him." Qiu Hongye said sadly. "He was the first to think I was a decent woman."

Qiu Hongye was kicked out by her family, and there was no way to go, so she stayed at his house in a 'bad act', but Aunt Liang misunderstood again, so she stayed there as a matter of course.She has a degree and a diploma, and she is so embarrassed that she has ended up like this, but she didn't expect that she would like him, maybe he didn't despise her because of her looks!

"I hope you will do what you say, and you don't have to walk with your head down, you can cover it with the glasses frame." Fang Monan suggested, no wonder she saw her with her head down and in a hurry, and she didn't stop when she called her .

"Did Liang Zi tell you his experience?" Fang Monan tentatively asked.

"Liang Zi said he was a gangster, he was a fool, and he had been in prison before." Qiu Hongye asked wonderingly: "I don't look like this kind of person! What crime did he commit!"

"Let him tell you this!" Fang Monan said mysteriously.

Later, Liang Zi bought a pair of black-frame flat mirrors from Yangcheng, which covered most of her face. Fang Monan got along with her and teased him: "Liang Zi is lucky, he is not bad."

Fang Monan looked at the groom and the bride, remembered how he knew them, smiled, and wished them well.

The wedding was very lively, and the bride was still wearing glasses. It seems that the troubles caused by her appearance may get better as time goes by.

In the bridal chamber, due to Liang Zi's prestige, only the fat man and the thin monkey did not dare to make too much noise, and they all left after a little bit of excitement.

At this time, Liang Zi stood by the bed in a panic, and the bride sat on the bed and looked at him with bright eyes.

"By the way, this is a gift from a friend." Liang Zi took out the gift from Cheng Shigui and the others from the camphor wood box, and carefully put it on for her.

"It's so beautiful." Liang Zi took her hand and rubbed it continuously. The rose gold watch further set off her smooth and fair skin.

"This thing is too expensive, who gave it to you." Qiu Hongye asked curiously.

"Boss sent it." Liang Zi said, if it wasn't for Nan Nan's face, who would know who he is!

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Qiu Yehong didn't ask any more questions. She untied the braids on her head, her black satin-like hair spread out, and took off her black-rimmed glasses. It must be full of styles.

Looking at beauties under the lamp, the more beautiful they look, the wedding night in the bridal chamber, and the spring night are worth a thousand dollars.

For the first time, Liang Zi didn't get up early, and the sky was bright.Liang Zi opened his eyes and for a moment Jinxi didn't know what Xixi was, looking at the autumn red leaves beside him. 'I also married a daughter-in-law. 'The beauty in my heart. [

Qiu Hongye also woke up, saw him staring at her, what was she thinking?Move quietly.

"Does it still hurt?" Liang Zi asked distressedly when his thoughts returned.Yesterday, I had Meng Lang, and I forgot that she had just passed through the human affairs, so I should feel sorry for her.His own daughter-in-law, he can't help it.

Qiu Yehong blushed and got into his chest, shaking her head.

"Can't you get up? Don't you need to offer tea to our mother?" Qiu Yehong whispered. "Is there still no need to open a shop?"

"No, Nan Nan gave us a wedding leave and let us rest for two more days." Liang Zi caressed her smooth back and said absently. "Hey... Our mother understands that she should be with Aunt Mo now, and it's okay to get up later."

"Ah! How can I do that?" Qiu Hongye turned over and wanted to get up, Liang Zi's eyes were getting darker, and the lust in the room was getting stronger, as if he should be worthy of this vacation.

***********************************

In a blink of an eye, it was the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and my grandma’s year-end summary was a big step forward compared to the previous year. After deducting miscellaneous expenses, the steamed bun and pancake stall had an income of 014 yuan.This... this... I have also become a millionaire. You must know that at that time, the ten thousand household was comparable to the millionaires of later generations.Prices were extremely low at that time (rice price was 07 yuan, flour was 095 yuan, meat price was 2 yuan, gifts to relatives were about 01 yuan, lucky money was 02-28 yuan, and workers’ wages were around 1 yuan). What concept.Grandma is very happy, looking forward to the future, full of confidence in tomorrow.

On the night of the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Fang Monan came to Liang Zi's house. The room was warm and cozy, the red happy letter was still posted on the wall, and all the household appliances were available. Finally, it looked like a home again.

Fang Monan sat on the galvanized folding chair, and the house changed drastically. The table was a square table, which was also galvanized.

The fat man teased Liang Zi and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, these few days must be the Furong tent to warm up the spring night. The spring night is bitter and the day is high, and the king will not go to court early from now on."

Qiu Hongye hid, Liang Zi giggled, and joked, "It seems that fat people are good at learning!"

"Hehe...you didn't force me." The fat man said with a bitter face.

"Haha..." Liang Zi and Shouhou laughed unceremoniously.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Fang Monan knocked on the table and said.

"Oh! The profit in the store this year is better than last year! We joined the clothing business again, and the business is even hotter." Liang Zi talked about the things in the store, and he just opened his mouth, and the data was recorded in a string. in mind. "Especially in the past two years, the county's policies have been good, and the pockets of farmers have bulged, which is reflected in the food, drink and clothing, and we have benefited a lot." They bought clothes directly from Han Zhiqian's clothing factory, envious of others.

"That's right! The end of the year is approaching, and our store is full of people. The turnover is soaring!" The fat man said happily, gesturing with his hands.

Fang Monan took their accounts and calculated silently.At this time, Qiu Hongye came out of the inner room and served tea.The tea was given to Liang Zi by Fang Monan, and he also fell in love with drinking tea.

Seeing Qiu Hongye coming, the fat man said, "It would be even better if my sister-in-law was in the store. You said that I am a big man selling women's clothes. I am so awkward."

"Just be content! It's not like Jinxiu and Xiaomei are helping, otherwise I'm really too busy." Said the thin monkey.

"Okay, we'll go tomorrow." Liang Zi said.

After Fang Monan finished the dividend, the fat man said happily: "It's been a year, and today is the most exciting time." He took the money and counted it happily. Although he earned a lot of money, after two years, he got 10,000+, But he likes the wonderful taste of counting money. [

"Look at how unpromising you are." Liang Zi patted him on the shoulder and said, "It seems that no matter how much money you have in the future, I will give you cash." He waved his passbook.

"Cash is good, cash has feelings. The passbook is just a series of numbers, without the shock of reality." The fat man looked at his passbook and said with emotion.

"These are the shoes Xiaomei made for you." He quickly took out four pairs of shoes from his bag, two pairs of cloth shoes and two pairs of cotton shoes. "Two pairs belong to Xiao Bei."

"Okay! Thank you Miss Xiaomei for me." Fang Monan held them in his arms.

"Thank you! It doesn't take much effort." The fat man took it for granted, "Besides, my mother..."

"Okay, I won't say thank you in the future." Fang Monan hurriedly interrupted his next words of thanks.

Thin Monkey talked about Shanghai to Fang Monan, and he happened to attend Liang Zi's wedding just after he came back, and he was busy with the store afterwards.Taking advantage of today, he handed over the contracts and procedures of the two houses to her, and with the remaining money, he bought Shanghai-made goods according to what Fang Monan said. It was really enough, two big cardboard boxes.Bedding, enamel basins, kettles, etc., not to mention the price, the quality at that time was outstanding.

Speaking of the ceiling fan, I am even more excited. The sales are good, the supply exceeds the demand, and there is no way that the production capacity is insufficient. Every day, people come to ask for the goods. Seeing those people leave, he feels distressed!It's not a person to leave, it's a waste of money!

"It will be fine in the next year. Uncle Qi has added two more production lines. He doesn't plan to rest during the New Year. He will triple his wages and work three shifts a day." Fang Monan said.

"Hey! That's really great." The thin monkey rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

"Okay, let's go here! I'm leaving, you can play however you want, don't cause trouble." Fang Monan said, and took out a bottle of Moutai and put it on the table.

"We know." Fatty's eyes lit up when he saw Moutai.

"I'm watching them!" Liang Zi said, "I'll take you back. Hongye is preparing meals. We haven't seen each other for a few months, let's have a good get-together.

"Okay!" Fang Monan didn't bother, she couldn't carry back the things that the thin monkey brought her, and it just happened to trouble Liang Zi.

Qiu Hongye prepared the food and drinks, and the three of them ate the dishes, drank the wine, and had cigarettes in their mouths. Such a day was unimaginable.

"Two years ago, I asked me to think about it. I could live such a life. I never dreamed of it in my dreams." The fat man sighed.

"Yes! If I hadn't landed in time, I would have lost my life." Thinking of it, the thin monkey was still trembling. "The guy who killed Brother Liang Zi last time, didn't we watch him collapse with our own eyes."

"Okay, don't forget about bitterness and sweetness, just follow Nan Nan." Liang Zi waved his hand, "Drink and eat vegetables." He asked the thin monkey what he had seen in Shanghai.

They kept drinking and chattering for more than two hours, and the thin monkey was worried that the fat man brought so much cash, so he sent him home before returning by himself.

The busy adults are busy preparing new year's goods, and the children are looking forward to the arrival of the new year, new clothes to wear, enough delicious food, and lucky money.For the two sisters, Mobei, Mobei still practiced piano step by step, while Mobei taught Mobei other knowledge.The adults didn't have time, so these became Fang Monan's work.Of course, the audience also includes Leonard, and by the way, they are planning things for the new year.

As the Chinese New Year approached, Da Chengzi sent a New Year's gift, more than 50 catties of pork, ten old hens, and coarse cloth woven by my aunt and grandma.Dachengzi left things behind and left in a hurry. The family was busy, so he sneaked in.

Seeing so much pork, grandma didn't feel worried. There are meat tigers in the family, and they are all meat-eating masters.It's better to leave it to Fang Monan, who made her the chef at home.

Grandma and Fang Monan are the same as last year, fried meatballs, stewed pork bones, and made pork skin jelly.Add appropriate seasonings, star anise, Chinese prickly ash, cinnamon bark, angelica dahurica, and bay leaf salt to the pigskin and bones except for the hair, and cook for a long time to make the boiled soup contain a certain amount of hide glue, and then cool it down After cooling, the pigskin and soup will solidify together, because it is eaten after cooling, cooling can be said to be frozen, so it is called pigskin jelly.It's done successfully, the color is tender and bright, the taste is refreshing.

Looking at the frozen pork skin, Fang Monan thought of soup dumplings. The meat stuffing was mixed with diced mushrooms, diced chicken, and cold pork skin jelly. Wrapped in the dough and steamed, the jelly turned into soup. , Delicious and tender meat, soft skin and tendons, exquisite and transparent shape, mellow and rich soup, oily but not greasy in the mouth.Its skin is thin and filling is big, the soup is filled with oil, soft and delicious, white and smooth, it looks like a lantern when it is lifted, and it looks like a chrysanthemum when it is put down.

The soup dumplings have a beautiful form, and their content is exquisite and unique. The meat filling and the fresh soup live together in the same room. After eating it, it integrates the three aspects of eating noodles, eating meat and eating soup in the North. It is a kind of integrated charm.When eating steamed buns with soup, the existence of soup ranks first, followed by meat fillings, followed by noodles.

Leonard looked at the freshly baked soup dumpling in front of him with admiration, and bit down, "It's hot...to death." With his tongue out and his hands slapping desperately, grandma quickly handed him a cup of cold water, and he drank a few Eloquence feels better.

Grandma said embarrassedly: "I forgot to tell you, you didn't get burned! Soup dumplings should be eaten like this." She taught him carefully, sucking the soup first, and then eating.

"Oh!" Leonard expressed his understanding, and he didn't care about the burning of his mouth. He ate very satiated, like a greedy cat.

Grandma ate the soup dumpling, "Hey! We can steam this and sell it next year." She clapped her hands, "This is capable!"

Grandma is now in a state of "going crazy", as long as she can make money, she wants to sell and try.But this has to be planned after the year.

***********************************

Because Fang Monan is used to communicating with Mobei with his own adult thinking and ideas, Mobei gradually develops more and more like her. If this continues, in a few years, he will no longer have the joy of childhood.

In this way, when Fang Monan began to doubt whether it is good to encourage the growth of seedlings like this, he neglected Mobei and forgot to tell the story. As a result, Fang Monan was criticized by everyone.

"Xiaobei, I like to listen to my stories." Fang Monan sat on the small bench and asked with his head tilted.

"Yes!" Mo Bei nodded.

"Didn't you ask the neighbor's children to play with them?" Fang Monan said.

"You didn't go either."

Fang Monan was choked by her words for a long time and did not recover.

"They are too immature, they don't know anything, they just know how to play with mud and pick out bird eggs..." Fang Mobei wrinkled his little nose, and said in a clear and clear child's voice.

"I won't talk about the stories I tell."

"No, it's very nice. I like the wit of Ikkyu and Avanti; I also like to read the beautiful landscape paintings in the scientific geography magazine; I prefer the moving melody when I play the violin. Don't waste your life on those chatting things "Fang Monan was dumbfounded when he heard Mobei's words.

"Who taught you this?"

"Does this still need to be taught? Isn't that what you told me in the story?" Mo Bei blinked and looked at her suspiciously.

Fang Monan began to reflect on whether this was right or wrong. If he continued to hang around with her, he would have the same childlike appearance as her, but at the same time have an adult heart.She completely affected her life.Seeing Mo Bei holding the children's version of "One Hundred Thousand Whys", I felt sorry for him.

It's better to know what the society is like early on, than to learn a distorted outlook on life from reading romance novels when you're curious.Fang Monan comforted himself like this, besides, she was watching!

It was the 29th of the twelfth lunar month again. After dinner, everyone started to have fun again. Dad also kept up with the times and sang the theme song of the 83 edition of "Journey to the West", "Dare to Ask Where is the Way", Sun Monkey was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain, The episode "500 Years of Vicissitudes", when my father sang this song, he was very emotional, with tears in his eyes, thinking of his falling out with his family, he was filled with emotion.

Mom and aunt sang an episode of a TV series, and Liang Zi and Qiu Hongye sang the theme song of the 83 edition of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".Xiaobei is of course her famous violin piece.Fang Monan kept in mind the teachings of last year, and this year played the erhu "Dancing of the Golden Snake", which was arranged and adapted by Nie Er.The melody of the music is high-spirited and passionate, exaggerating the jubilant atmosphere of the festival.

After listening to Leonard, he couldn't help nodding, "Hmm! It sounds good, joyful, high-spirited, unrestrained emotions, full of vitality and vitality of life."

But my aunt and Mobei didn't intend to let Fang Monan go like this. They had to sing a song they hadn't heard before. In the end, she sang "Tomorrow will be better", implying that life at home will be prosperous and tomorrow will be better.This made the two of them give up!

After the excitement, Fang Monan began to distribute New Year's gifts, with beds as units, distributed bedding (sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases), enamel washbasins, and tin thermos bottles.Fortunately, she let Skinny Monkey sell a lot of goods from Shanghai, otherwise it would not be enough.As for the fat man, Liang Zi took it away and handed it over to him.

************************************

Thirty this day, Dad is determined not to 'go home' again.He took his mother to the countryside to visit his mother's grave, tidied up the grave, pulled up the yellow weeds, and babbled about what happened. He left after two hours.Looking at the low adobe houses and dirt roads in the village, some homes still lighted kerosene lamps at night.

Then think about the new road leading to the village in the county where my mother-in-law lives, and the new red brick house built by Da Chengzi's family.The place where he lived in his childhood was still so backward and poor. How could there be so much difference across a county.

Dad and the others finally came back on the 84th night, which was February 2st on New Year's Eve in 1.This thirty is no longer deserted, it is very lively, and the family gathers together.After the reunion dinner, Qi Qiushi left in a hurry. He had to spend New Year's Eve with the factory workers.Those who stayed were chatting and laughing as they watched the Spring Festival Gala. No matter the costumes of the host or the cast and crew, they were no longer inferior to Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, and even slightly better.

Not only can grandma not rest during the New Year, but she also has to receive relatives who are like flowing water.After the hustle and bustle, there is peace.After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Thin Monkey and Jinxiu went to Shanghai. Liangzi and Fatty opened their doors, set off [-] firecrackers, and grandma's steamed bun shop continued to operate.

Dad looked at the house and got busy again, "Mom, Dayan, let's go to Uncle Lin's house and I have something to discuss with you." Dad came in and said.

The three of them entered Uncle Lin's room. At this time, Fang Monan was reading a book, Mobei was also reading the music score, and Leonard followed Mr. Lin to discuss the Tao Te Ching.

Father and the others came in, and Mr. Lin saw this, "You guys are..."

"Uncle Lin, I have some ideas in my heart that I want to discuss with everyone." Dad moved a chair for grandma, and moved two stools, handed one to mom, and sat down by himself.

"Oh! I have something to discuss, and I happen to have something to tell you." Mr. Lin said, "I was blocked here by this thunder, I thought I would tell you later." "What's the matter, you go ahead! "

"It's like this. The company asked me to talk to me a year ago, and I will be promoted in the next year." Dad was not usually happy to hear the promotion, but said calmly.

"It's a good thing, I'm really calm." My mother cast a glance at him and said angrily.

"I've decided not to do it now." Dad said in a deep voice with bright eyes, and threw a bomb.

"You...you...why didn't you discuss it with me." Mom said anxiously.

When Mr. Lin saw his mother still wanted to say something, he interrupted and said, "What do you think?"

"I want to go into politics!" Dad said loudly, and then softened, "I just don't know if I can get in?"

"Hehe... It seems that you really asked the right person." Mr. Lin smiled, "A few days ago, in view of your performance in road construction, Secretary Wang asked me to find out if you are interested in coming to the county. Work, he asked about your promotion in the company, but he doesn’t know what you think, everyone wants to make money now, I’m afraid you will look down on our small county, let me ask first.”

Fang Monan was surprised that his father actually wanted to go into politics. He used to hate it the most. Speaking of officials, they would meet at eight o'clock and arrive at nine o'clock, and they would not miss the report at ten o'clock. Come on.She doesn't earn as much money as he does. It seems that her little wings are fluttering a lot, but she shouldn't be in politics, she should be in the sea!

"Father, why do you want to go into politics?" Fang Monan interjected with wide-eyed eyes.

"Well, I don't have such a big public heart. It's just that I read Uncle Lin's books these days, especially history books. I feel like my mother's small shop. Don't look at the well-established, official businessmen, government businessmen. If I leave At least the official way makes people less bullied. Just like installing a telephone, running water and other small things, a word from someone as an official is better than my mother running five or six times." Dad said very straightforwardly, he After seeing with my own eyes that telephones and running water were installed in their homes, rich people were eager to install them, but they were blocked back after a trip. Without the special approval of the leaders, even if they are rich, they don't even think about it.To be able to install a telephone at home is a blessing to Mr. Tuolin in his heart. He has someone in the county, which touched him a lot.

Dad hesitated but said frankly: "It's just my selfishness. I just want to establish some contacts in the officialdom, and it will be easier to do things. Compared with ordinary people, they have no connections, and they bump into each other like flies." Such a high realm.

"You are so straightforward and frank." Mr. Lin said, selfishness, there is nothing wrong with it.People's hearts are unpredictable, and with the passage of time, public hearts can become selfish.Who knows what the future holds? "It's really a coincidence. Secretary Wang saw your performance in road construction and intends to transfer you to the county committee, but the position will not be too high when you first enter."

"Okay! Let's go in first. Do you want to work? You can do whatever you want." Dad said without objection. Everyone has different relationships, so we have to go in and talk about it.

"Okay, that's it." Elder Lin asked again: "Zhengping, you didn't go home during the Chinese New Year, and now you decide to resign, don't you want to discuss it with your family?"

"Discuss, let's not discuss it." Dad pretended to be stupid and said.

"You know what I mean?" Mr. Lin said with a sigh. "You decided to break with the family and give all the money to them, so don't you need to write a document?"

"The clerk? She wishes that I, a poor man, would not come to the door! If I don't go, it will just satisfy her heart, and I don't have to see this thorn in my flesh, so what else do I need to write?" Dad said self-righteously.

Mr. Lin shook his head, he was such an upright and stupid boy, "If you don't go, it doesn't mean people won't come to you for more money."

"Ah! You still have to do this. Didn't you give me all the money!" My mother yelled and clapped her hands. "By the way, it is an obligation for children to support the elderly, and they can really come back with their shamelessness."

Mr. Lin said earnestly: "You only think about the present, you don't think about the future development, and no one knows what the future will be like? It's better to prevent problems before they happen."

Dad thought about it, "If it was really written in black and white, it would really tear your face." He thought it was so unclear, maybe there was still a trace of it, and he had no good imagination.

"What? You...you..." Mom stared at him, but Mr. Lin interrupted her, "This is Zhengping, you have to think about it." "I'll go to the county first and call back .”

Grandma comforted my mother, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant and depressed for a while.The wound that he didn't want to tear open was lying in front of him bloody again.
