Wearing books in the 70s: the delicate educated youth have material space

Once the lively time at home is over, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, I start going to other relatives' homes to pay New Year's greetings. The Cheng family is my own family, and the only home I can go to to pay New Year's greetings is the Liu family.

"Sibo, where are your parents?"

Cheng Fu brought his family to Liu's house and saw Sibo alone at home.

Liu Sibo was bored when he saw Uncle Cheng coming with his sister: "Uncle Cheng, my parents went to visit the elders in the family, so they didn't bring me with them."

Although Liu Minzhi and his wife have no close relatives left, there are still some elders from Liujia Village who visit every year, and they are all the same generation as Liu Minzhi's grandfather.

It is a tradition of the Liu family. Not only Liu Minzhi's family, but also other people named Liu will visit the elders of the Liu family on this day.

Cheng Fu took the opportunity and took the boy home directly: "Go home with Uncle Cheng, you won't have anything to eat at home." Liu Minzhi didn't see the baby when he returned home, so he knew he would come to Cheng's house to find him.

Liu Sibo closed the door and left with Cheng Fu.

As the family went back in great numbers, they would always meet neighbors coming and going. Everyone knew that Cheng Fu had come back two days ago, but Cheng Fu was at home and didn't go out much, so they didn't see him either.

A middle-aged man who was as old as Cheng Fu saw him and rubbed his eyes: "I saw that right, Cheng Fu, you kid is really back."

In front of the child, Cheng Fu didn't want to pay attention to the person who called him "boy".

"I didn't come back, what you saw was a ghost."

The middle-aged man laughed loudly: "You didn't even know you came to our house when you came back. We just met today. Why don't you come to my house to play?"

Cheng Fu: "No, I'm going home to see my daughter-in-law and son-in-law. I have to go back in just a few days. It's a waste of time to go to your place."

During the Chinese New Year, the middle-aged man didn't care about Cheng Fu. He grew up together and knew Cheng Fu's temperament. "I can just go and sit at your house."

Cheng Fu wanted to refuse, but the middle-aged man added: "When your daughter built the house, my dad also came to help find someone."

Only then did Cheng Xu know that this man was actually Secretary Wang's son.

"Uncle Wang, come and play. My dad is bored at home alone." Cheng Xu interrupted her dad's refusal.

I still have to live in the village, and a good relationship is better than enmity.

Seeing people other than Liu Minzhi's family coming out of the Cheng family, other villagers who wanted to establish a good relationship with the Cheng family began to line up to go to the Cheng family to pay New Year's greetings. Cheng Fu did not expect that he would have to be like in the factory after returning home. Dealing with people makes me very busy every day.

These villagers were also funny. They came to the door with something and asked Cheng Fu to help them with some work. It was obvious at first glance that they were not familiar with Cheng Fu.

Cheng Fu pointed to the sky, which was still broad daylight, and said to the man that it was night now and it was time for you to go home and rest.

"Cheng Fu, are you okay? It's broad daylight now. Don't have something wrong with your eyes."

Cheng Fu shook his head: "At night, you are all dreaming. When you go back to sleep, I can give you more, and you can still be the director of the factory in your dreams."

The villagers were immediately angry at Cheng Fu.

Some people who knew Cheng Fu were smart enough not to ask Cheng Fu to help him find a job. Instead, they asked Cheng Fu about the situation in the provincial town and whether there were many workers. Some of them had only been to the town in their lives and had never been to the province at all. I know the outside world, but I also want my children at home to have a future.

When encountering this kind of normal situation, Cheng Fu would talk more about the situation. They all belong to the same village, and Cheng Fu would help if he could.

Seeing his father dealing with the villagers every day, Cheng Xu also understood that he had made a mistake that day. After the New Year, when Cheng's parents and Cheng's mother were going back to the city to work, Cheng Xu made dried meat for his father to apologize.

Dad Cheng went to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and Cheng Xu started cooking on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. They made salted duck, cold rabbit, and spicy chicken. These were all spicy. He also made some non-spicy snacks, rice dumplings, and dried pork.

Cheng's mother saw that her daughter had been busy in the kitchen for several days, making different kinds of food every day: "Why is there so much meat? Your way of eating will make people poor."

If her daughter still does this after she gets married, Cheng's mother is afraid that her daughter will make herself poor and her son-in-law will return the goods.

In the past few days at home, Cheng's mother had fully seen how much oil Cheng Xu consumed when cooking, and asked her to use less oil. Han Chen also told Cheng Xu that it was okay, and the food made this way was delicious.

This was the first time that Cheng Xu spent so much time cooking a large amount of meat, and Cheng's mother was worried that her son-in-law would have objections.

Cheng Xu: "Mom, no, I can't afford it. I just want to find something to do this year. Then you won't have to send me money every month."

Cheng's mother: "What kind of work can you find at home? It's not like your father and I don't know about the work in the town. We are tired and have little money. Don't do that." Cheng's mother and Cheng's father were also working in the town at the beginning. They worked in the town, but the development in the town was limited, and the good positions were also limited. When they had the opportunity to go to the provincial capital later, the two of them did not miss the job that looked good to outsiders at all, and directly resigned and went to the provincial capital.

Thanks to that decision, the Cheng family has gotten better and better over the years.

Cheng Xu thought of Ma Jun, whom she met in the train accident before, "Mom, it's not a job in the town. I have other plans next year. Besides, I'm married, so I can't rely on you to support me all the time. I'll always find something to do by myself." "

Cheng’s mother wants to be my daughter again when she gets married, but it’s good for her daughter to stand up. She can’t pour cold water on her or deny her: “Okay, then I won’t send it to you. If you don’t have any money, just give it to me.” Call up."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Cheng and his father packed their luggage and went to catch the bus. Cheng Xu helped his parents carry their luggage, and Han Chen also walked aside carrying heavy objects to take them to town to catch the bus.

Cheng Xu was reluctant to let his parents go, but as the factory manager, Cheng Xu couldn't stay at home for long.

"You have to be careful at home and save more money. Mom knows you love to eat, but you can't spend all the money and make yourself penniless."

Cheng Xu didn't refute today and just listened to his parents.

"I know, I will save money." Cheng Xu was weak, feeling unhappy that her parents had left home.

Cheng’s mother couldn’t bear to leave her daughter: “We will come back during the Chinese New Year next year.”

Walking to the town, Cheng Xu looked at Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhou carrying large and small bags, and thought they were here to see off their parents: "Uncle Liu, why have you prepared so much? My parents can't do anything about it." Take it."

Liu Sibo, who was following Liu Minzhi and looked unhappy, replied: "Sister, my parents left with Uncle Cheng and left me alone at home."

What?

Uncle Liu and the others are going to save money?

Father Cheng looked at Liu Minzhi with relief. He only found out today: "Did you buy the ticket?"

Liu Minzhi squeezed the ticket in his hand tightly. This was the boldest decision he had ever made in his life: "I bought a ride with you."

He looked at Cheng Xu next to him: "Xuxu, Sibo, please help me take a look. Uncle Liu will be like your father in the future and send you five yuan every month."

Cheng Xu heard Uncle Liu say this: "Uncle Liu, my dad gave you money because I didn't work, and you spent all the money on me. Sibo is my younger brother, and I won't take care of him if I don't take care of him." It’s no use being this sister.”

"Don't worry, go to the city. When you come back with my dad during the Chinese New Year, I will definitely give you a fat Sibo."

When it comes to cooking and raising people, Cheng Xu is sure that he is better than everyone here.
