Rebirth Night Talk

Gao Juzi took Zhao Jianguo to Tianzhou in early May. This time Gao Juzi came to relax with her husband.Zhao Jianguo is like an unlucky guy who is out of season. Before the change of office, because of a letter from the masses, he had a little conflict with the key leader.This time, he hung up and became the deputy director of the Animal Husbandry Bureau again, dealing with cattle, sheep, rabbits and pigs.

The arrival of his parents surprised Zhao Xuejun, but less than 10 minutes after seeing his father, Zhao Xuejun's ordeal began.

"Look at your standing! It's crooked! You're a college student! Look at the clothes you're wearing, they're not plain at all! Do you look like a student?" Zhao Jianguo pointed to Zhao Xuejun's slightly long hair, which was paired with a color A slightly western style jacket reprimand!

Zhao Xuejun was confused, while his mother, Gao Juzi, waved her hands repeatedly and winked!

Accompanied by Zhou Rui in a huff, Zhao Jianguo started to stroll around the first floor of the newly built Sanxin Mall, and then conducted an in-depth investigation on the hygiene of the mall, the mental outlook of the staff and even the service attitude.Comrade Zhao Jianguo said: Improving the living standards of citizens is very important, but serving the people is even more important.He cordially met some employees in the shopping mall whose families live in poverty, and had a long talk with them. He inquired about the wages and various benefits of the employees in detail.Finally, he told Zhou Rui that it is necessary to vigorously develop work activists and establish a strong panel of advanced workers.All employees should be called upon to learn from these advanced workers...and have in-depth discussions. Each employee must write at least [-] words of experience, experience...all of which must be posted on the wall, and evaluations must be made every month..."

"Mom, my dad is not the mayor of Rentian City!" Zhao Xuejun wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Son, let your father have enough official addiction, he talks to those horses, cattle and sheep, don't those animals understand!" Gao Juzi also wanted to cry but had no tears.

Zhou Rui had a good temper, he was what his uncle said, and Zhao Jianguo lost his anger during the filming, and finally showed a little smile, Zhao Xuejun and Gao Juzi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The attic on the top floor of Sanxin Mall was finally built. Originally, Gao Juzi came this time to help his son pick it up, but seeing her husband like this, he dared not say anything.If your husband finds out about this extravagant thing, you will still be scolded. Are you from the Zhao family? No matter what you do, you must remember that you are the son of a farmer, and your grandfather is a bricklayer. This is what Zhao's father said often said.

"Son, your father's anger is not going well, let's be careful. This is what year! He is timid. Others are in power to grasp political achievements, but he is afraid of disturbing the people. In fact, Mom has been thinking about what it is to find something for your father." Boy, let him resign, isn't he still a representative of the National People's Congress? Wouldn't it be good to be an idler in the future? Those leaders he met are all bastards, motherfuckers!"

Zhao Xuejun looked left and right, and saw his father sitting in Zhou Rui's office flipping through the employee sign-in form, and quickly lowered his voice and said, "Mom, others don't know, you don't know my dad, his way is really out of touch, you No matter how you work, teamwork is a big problem. My dad is used to being alone! Others may not follow him. Let me see, you have to wait a while for resignation. He will help you take care of Sanxin in his hometown. It's a good management, let's talk about it when there is emotion over there."

Gao Juzi looked at her husband with a headache. In fact, Gao Juzi has undertaken most of the family tasks in recent years. No one knows what is wrong with her husband better than her. The husband is a farmer's child and went to the army. , the education he received was the word "dedication"!He has a passion and is willing to dedicate his life to his work.It is a pity that his vision is not wide, his ability to accept new things is poor, and his adaptation period is slower than others.This created a gap between him and others. In fact, Gao Juzi didn't like what her husband did in Sanxin. However, as long as her husband was happy with Gao's own things, it didn't matter how much she tossed about.

"Mom, don't worry, come out this time, take my father to check his body, and then take a long vacation with the unit. Isn't my second brother graduating this year? You ask my second brother to accompany my dad, and find my dad anytime. A topic, such as studying the "overall and comprehensive nature of reform and opening up" or something, ask my dad to take a few people with new ideas for a walk around the world, you say you need these things, you only believe my dad's opinion, Pay attention to his ideas.You still can't coax him? "

Gao Juzi gave his son a squinting look, and twisted the soft flesh on his waist just like that: "Don't count on your father and me, I can't find Wang Xi, you tell him that this new product must be released in three months." Xin put me in the counter, if he dares to owe me more goods. I don’t mind going to Hainan to burn down his bird factory. I’m not joking about your mother.”

Zhao Xuejun cried out in pain silently, rubbing his waist, his eyes were about to overflow with water.

"Orange!" Zhao Jianguo yelled suddenly without looking up, and Gao Juzi withdrew his hands mockingly: "I didn't try hard, just teasing the children."

"When did you understand the seriousness?" After Zhao Jianguo finished cursing, he turned his head and told his son: "Stay away from your mother, she will bully you if she can't catch your brother."

Zhao Xuejun immediately sat three feet away from Gao Juzi, Gao Juzi pouted: "If I have one..."

"If you have a daughter, you are not allowed to twist it casually!" Zhao Jianguo continued to teach.

Gao Juzi laughed, took off his high heels and casually put his feet on Zhao Xuejun's knee: "Squeeze your feet!" Zhao Xuejun obediently pinched his mother's feet and began to rub the soles of his feet.The voice of Gao Juzi muttering came from the room.

"This ticket, if it is said to be invalid, it will be invalid. The [-] catties of national food stamps I saved will be useless in a blink of an eye. I used to think that no matter what, it will be enough for you to marry a wife."

"Mom, don't lose those tickets, keep them for me."

"I know, you love to keep those useless things."

"It's useless? Look at my little money, it's multiplied hundreds of times now."

Gao Juzi waved her hand contemptuously, "How much can you earn, right!" She sat up suddenly, and said to Zhou Rui: "Ruirui, next month, come with me to an auction. It is said that the price of the land is going to be lowered, so we will also collect a few yuan, and our house will not be bad, so we will build a building and rent it out. Buy the surrounding land, put it in a circle first, let me forget it, the development cycle in the south is short, and it will be useful in a few years at most! Besides, our family does not wait for money to use it, nor does it owe the bank, so ah... we can wait rise."

"Gao Orange, how much people eat and drink is determined, what do you want to do with so much?!" Zhao Jianguo habitually criticized his wife.

"What to do, let's talk about literature. We will have a grandson in a few years. Give it to the grandson." Gao Juzi is not afraid of her husband now.

Zhou Rui smiled, and poured water for his aunt with the thermos. Gao Juzi continued to babble: "Ruirui, haven't you read all the documents in March? Find someone to study it and what will come out..." Gao Juzi continued Tangerine took out the notebook that he carried with him, turned over a few pages and read it seriously: "It is the "Enterprise Income Tax Law", "Real Estate Law", "Real Estate Transaction Law", "Labor Law", "Labor Protection Law" ", "Minimum Wage Regulations" and so on, your little brother is right, the faster the economy develops, the rules will become more and more perfect. These are the rules made for us, we have to stick to them, they are always right of."

Zhao Jianguo was satisfied now: "Hey! This is the truth. Comrade Juzi's words... have you made any progress!"

Zhao Xuejun clicked his mouth, why did he feel that his father was talking more and more like Mr. Jia in "I Love My Family"?

Ignoring his father with his hands behind his back, Zhao Xuejun began to reminisce about the glorious past, Zhao Xuejun leaned into Gao Juzi's ear and joked: "Mom, you don't know, our old aunt downstairs is very busy. Jiantian is holding a loudspeaker Call downstairs: 323, Mr. Chen’s phone number... 407, Mr. Zhang’s phone number, there is a United Nations short-supply materials trading conference in our building. I don’t watch TV these days, and I don’t go to the library. I just listen to them Line up to make phone calls at the bottom of the corridor, Mom...you don't know, the guy who lives in my upper bunk is now Mr. Qu, I reckon someone is about to resell the aircraft carrier! I reckon it's almost here..."

Mother and son rubbed their intestines happily.In the past, maybe Gao Juzi would not understand this kind of joke, and Zhao Jianguo would not understand it even more, and would even believe it.It's different now, the old Zhao's family at least knows the rules of the market.No matter how big the business is, the process of buying and selling is dead. The word buying and selling looks simple, but anyone who studies economics knows it. If you understand these two words, it will take two years of hard work to learn them thoroughly. .The family knows how difficult this business is.

"Oh, tell me, what are these people thinking now? It seems that the money is all blown by the wind, and the money is so easy to earn? I used to work hard for a month, and it was only a few hundred dollars... I Remember..." Zhao Xuejun anxiously winked at Juzi.

Gao Juzi took off her silk socks, broke off her feet, took a nail clipper and didn't look at Zhao Xuejun at all, just recalling bitterness and sweetness with him: "Son, when Mom was a million-dollar household, there were million-dollar households there! Cut, wait until they have ten thousand yuan households, mom already has ten thousand yuan households... Hey, it was only a few years ago, and my mother had never seen so much money at that time, do you remember that night, there were so many Money, my mother was so scared..."

Zhao Xuejun stood up slowly, pulled Zhou Rui together and threw the poor Gao Juzi into the office with Zhao Jianguo, whose face was as dark as Bao Gong.

"I knew it, I knew it would come sooner or later... I knew my mother couldn't hold it back!" Zhao Xuejun was helpless.

"Okay, I'm used to it, isn't my uncle just feeling lost! You always have to find a place to vent your anger. By the way, Xuejun, everything you want is here. I'll move it to the attic for you. Xuejun! You Why is it different from others, everyone is moving towards modern times, you are better off throwing a whole pile of old furniture on it. If there is something to be buried with in there, you don’t feel discouraged and flustered.”

"That can't be, I'll go up and have a look, brother, you resist! Don't let my dad know!" Zhao Xuejun threw Zhou Rui away without conscience, and ran away.

In the office, Gao Juzi's voice of defense came out timidly, and Zhao Jianguo's voice came out patting the table to scold his wife.

Zhou Rui lit a cigarette and laughed while smoking.In the past few years, he has been deeply integrated into this family. Sometimes he has a feeling that he is a child of this family.About his own home, how long has he not thought of it?Occasionally, when calling back, my mother would always hide it, as if she was a bomb, and if she just touched it, there would be chaos.

Zhou Rui understands that it is not easy for a woman who lost her husband to enter married life again, and it is not easy for a mother.But these years, he has been waiting for his mother to ask him: Rarity, are you doing well, are you suffering outside?How is your uncle treating you?In that case, the mother would not even dare to ask timidly.My grandma didn’t even dare to mention it at home. They would talk on the phone before the Chinese New Year. This year is not the Chinese New Year. Now who is staying at home during the Chinese New Year? Everyone is making money outside... Grandma and Grandpa, one answer Cry on the phone, cry as soon as you answer the phone.It seems that Zhou Rui is the witness of that family tragedy.

It's been even weirder lately.Grandma and grandpa's house had changed their number. Zhou Rui asked someone to inquire, but the result was ridiculous.My mother who claimed to have undergone a sterilization operation unexpectedly had her fallopian tubes connected again at some point, and gave birth to another son for her stepfather. In the name of mother and stepfather.I just want my stepfather to treat my mother better... well, it's understandable, it's human nature, but this time Zhou Rui's heart is really cold...

Zhao Jianguo punished Gao Juzi and ordered her to lie down on the table and write a review, at least [-] characters, without any punctuation.Seeing his wife's helpless face and beeping complaints, Zhao Jianguo walked out of the office triumphantly, and when he closed the door, he saw his nephew Zhou Rui squatting at the door, smoking a cigarette butt all over the place with a gloomy expression.

"You're so old, you don't have any talent, at least as a leader, you have to lead by example. The house is clean, and you throw cigarette butts here?! Outrageous!" Zhao Jianguo lectured.

Zhou Rui quickly licked his cigarette butt and stood up straight, and smiled at his little uncle: "Uncle..."

"Hey... Do you have something on your mind?" Zhao Jianguo felt sorry for his only child, his little brother.

Zhou Rui lowered his head and thought for a while, then mustered up his courage: "Uncle, I want to change my surname to Zhao."

Zhao Jianguo showed a hint of joy on his face, and quickly covered it up: "Your father, he has been messed up on this matter all his life, no matter whether he is right or wrong. This surname cannot be changed. If he lives, I will make the decision for you. , but your father is gone, and no one can disrespect his ideas. Our old Zhao family must be committed to doing things right or wrong. From now on, you have to be like this, and educate your children like this!"

Zhao Jianguo walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, then turned his head and said, "Wait...when you have a child, it's the same for changing the child." After finishing speaking, he smiled and nagged: "It should belong to my old Zhao's family, that is, my old Zhao's family." The Zhao family's..." Then he went downstairs.Zhou Rui thought for a while, then smiled relievedly, and chased after his uncle.

Zhou Rui is 26 this year, not married yet, and has no intention of getting married.When Zhao Jianguo came this time, he occasionally saw a little girl smiling shyly at Zhou Rui behind his back, and then he remembered that his nephew should also be marrying a wife.

The old couple discussed all night that night, and felt that no matter what, it would be serious to settle Zhou Rui's lifelong affairs first.Gao Juzi made some calculations.Zhou Rui's current monthly salary is quite a few thousand, and the two-tier share dividend at the end of the year is also around 15. The bonus is high and the oranges are saved for Zhou Rui. His own salary can support his family.

The top priority now is to buy a house for Zhou Rui.They asked Zhou Rui what he meant, and it was strange that Zhou Rui didn't want to go back to his mother, nor Wanlin City, he just wanted to stay in Tianzhou.The old couple came to discuss, to discuss, isn't there a small second-floor attic on the top floor of Sanxin Mall, and Zhou Rui was asked to find a place to live in, and there is two to three hundred square meters for any one over there. Woolen cloth.

Zhao Xuejun, who didn't know that his solitary life was disturbed, was still jumping and jubilant this morning, but in the middle of the morning, he was dragged by his mother to choose a house for Zhou Rui. When he saw that the place he designed and spent money on was taken, Zhao Xuejun felt a little bit annoyed. Little unhappy.

"Take it as if I don't know. I reckon you don't want to go back. You are ambitious! Zhao Xuejun, my mother told you, don't even think about it, your dad has already thought about it. Tell your Uncle Song when you graduate , you just click into the mechanism for us honestly. Hey... how good the mechanism is, it can’t be blown by the wind, it can’t be exposed to the sun, and the harvest is guaranteed.” Gao Juzi was chattering, while holding the key to open the first small attic upstairs.

"Mom, you are going to take my brother Ruirui to develop and inspect the market in the future. I will watch Sanxin for you in Tianzhou." Zhao Xuejun chattered with his mother.

Gao Juzi walked into the room, opened the window and glanced down: "There are Internet cafes around here, and it looks like a panic."

"What kind of iron fence is on it? I told Brother Zhou Rui that the one facing the mountain will be built into a glass house. All three sides will be advertised on giant light boxes." Zhao Xuejun nagged.

"Do you think your brother Rurui will like it?" Gao Juzi babbled and went up to the second floor of the small attic.

"I don't know if I like it or not, but whether my brother Ruirui is willing to get married is another matter." Zhao Xuejun hit Gao Juzi, who was holding a ruler and carefully measuring the house.

"Why doesn't he get married? He doesn't get married at this age? He gets married at 32? Then he can have a baby at 60! This person can't delay, give birth early and leave early. Don't wait until you are over [-] to have grandchildren... all brought up by others. Don't move, get married early, you all get married early, and your father and I will take care of your children. Don't worry about the rest... When you give birth, hey, just throw it home for mom... that's right!" Gao Juzi lay on her stomach On the attic floor on the second floor, I took the small book very seriously.

"Brother Ruirui... I have a high heart." Zhao Xuejun opened the window, looked at the Sunday sales booth downstairs in Sanxin Market and said, "Generally, my brother Rurui doesn't like it, it's too tall." , people also look down on my brother Rarity."

Gao Juzi was immediately annoyed, she jumped up and asked almost angrily: "Hey! Hey! Why do they look down on you, Brother Ruirui? Ren Ruirui earns more than ten thousand yuan a year! Once you get married, you can choose a house at will Let's talk about social status... Rarity is also the general manager anyway? What's wrong? Why? Why?! I still don't like them!"

Zhao Xuejun laughed: "Mom, what are you in a hurry for? We know the basics. But my brother Ruirui doesn't like to tell others about it. My uncle's meeting is for love, but you see the result now, entering the ancestral grave is all sneaky .For the outside world...Brother Rarity is just a part-time worker...Hey!"

Zhao Xuejun suddenly burst out laughing, and was stunned by Gao Juzi's smile: "Son, what are you laughing at?"

"Mom, you're yelling again! When did you become a son of a dog again?"

"Don't give my old lady a sloppy eye, what are you laughing at!"

Zhao Xuejun thought for a while: "Mom, how strange do you say, I have known a lot of Shanxi businessmen in the past few years. Maybe I am a southern businessman... I am afraid that others will not know that I have money. How can our Shanxi businessmen be picky and shrunk? Others know that they are rich. Tell me, Wang Xi claims to be from Shanxi, but I know he is not. You haven’t seen his money. It’s good for you. It takes two years to buy a car. My brother Ruirui is also like this , usually like a farmer."

"Let people know what's good. It's all about things." Gao Juzi rolled his eyes: "One mouth, two eyes, and one body are all that long. Eat well, sleep well, and you're done. You have an hour to You can eat as much as you can for an hour's work. It's a waste of crime! And... people know, it's all trouble... I can't handle it, and your father is also afraid of this." Gao Juzi didn't finish speaking , suddenly worried, she took the ruler and tapped on the wall in the middle, and asked tentatively: "Your little uncle..."

Zhao Xuejun was shocked, stood up and closed the window: "Mom, don't talk about things about grandma's house! Things that can be solved with money are nothing. Our family doesn't lack those few now, I just ...I am worried that you will be sad all the time."

At the beginning of this year, Lao Gao's family, which has always been very wealthy, suddenly had a disaster.First, he was chased by the bank, and then the Gao brothers did business with others, and the two triangular debts made him bankrupt.This time, the new house was gone, and both brothers squatted in under the name of "fraud".Gao Xueli, who has always been at home like a starling with a clever mouth, dropped a big bomb this time. She took her husband and children to the south, and she hid...

Zhao Jianguo never cared about Lao Gao's affairs, and neither did Juzi.But this time, after Mr. Gao sat in a wheelchair and blocked the door for two days, the old lady said: "Tell Orange to take care of it, or your reputation will be ruined. I don't care about you, but my grandson will be a human being in the future..."

"Your father also meant the same thing. It's not a problem that can be solved with money."

Seeing his son worry about grandma's house when he mentioned it, Gao Juzi was also worried.Who doesn't want to be intimate with her natal family, isn't this woman living in her natal family all her life?Gao Juzi has been weeping a lot during this time, this girl has kissed her father from the bone marrow, seeing her father is so old and his family property is gone... Gao Juzi dare not hate, can't hate.

"Mom, let me tell the logistics staff that I will start laying the floor and building furniture for my brother tomorrow!" Zhao Xuejun shouted from the top of the building.

"Hey... OK, you guys make up your mind, you can't stand on the roof, and you need to use air-conditioning in the future! Don't think that it's the roof and you can build it at will! This is illegal!" Gao Juzi went out, stretched out his hand Picking up one of his son's arms, he wiped away tears: "Son! Our own family, healthy and happy, that's it!"

"That's right! Mom...you said, how about finding a university professor for Brother Ruirui?"

"Don't, I still have to serve her, literati sour!"

"The employees of Sanxin are also good, let's pick one?"

"I don't like it!"

In other words, this old Zhao's family is really happy to do things. This week, Zhou Rui's daughter-in-law has no hair, so she started to build a new house for him.Zhao Jianguo didn't think it was a big deal, it was just a heart and two hands.Zhao Xuejun has always admired his parents' rough nerves, so he had no choice but to ask his only friend Bei Dongning in Tianzhou City to find some relationships, and he must find a good one for Zhou Rui.

Bei Dongning was familiar with Zhou Rui, and he asked Zhou Rui's conditions in detail without any taboo, and Zhou Rui was very happy: "We don't pick conditions, human nature must be simple, and people must be kind. I don't like to be tempted by people, just go straight Good. Education is not important, as long as you graduate from a technical secondary school. Does it look like it... just be pleasing to the eye..."

Bei Dongning returned home and told his mother that his youngest mother worked in the youth league committee, and she supposedly had a lot of little girls in her hands.But when it comes to self-employment, the cadres of other government agencies look down on them, and they feel that there is no guarantee, so they reject them all.This matter dragged on in a blink of an eye until mid-June, and the house and electrical appliances were all ready.Zhao Jianguo hasn't seen the shadow of his nephew and daughter-in-law yet, and the holiday will come soon.

After class this day, Bei Dongning found Zhao Xuejun with a smile and gave him a photo.Zhao Xuejun took the photo and looked at it carefully.In the photo, the girl has her hair cut to match her ears, double eyelids, and her mouth is a bit too big, but she still looks good.

"Xiao Dong from the Urban Construction Bureau of Tianzhou City, my little mother agreed to meet him only after she found someone who was nice and talkative. Xiao Dong is very nice, but...he is one year older. You can show it to Brother Rui. If it's not suitable Nothing, let's look for it again."

"Be older and more sensible! I think it's good." Zhao Xuejun carefully put down the photo, and pulled Bei Dongning to find Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui picked up the photo in the office, looked it up and down for a while, but said casually: "Then I will meet you." When he said this, Zhao Xuejun's nose almost turned out of breath.

"Brother, you are the emperor, don't be in a hurry, but I am a eunuch. If you want to see me, tell my dad to die in a hurry."

Zhou Rui blushed slightly, stood up quickly and said a lot of good things to Zhao Xuejun, and Zhao Xuejun forgave him.After this incident, both Zhao Xuejun and Bei Dongning discovered Zhou Rui's hidden factor, this person is sullen, not ordinary coquettish!

That night, Zhou Rui wore brand-new trousers and a brand-new jacket, and Gao Juzi even waxed his hair before going out.The place where people from both sides meet is very traditional, the home of the introducer.

This time Zhao Xuejun was really embarrassed, he was so busy, he even posted a dinner.

"It's okay, my little mother is very nice. It's rare for me to ask her for something. These women... are all cute. Their cute appearance is... they are born to love to be matchmakers for others. They all have a talent for being matchmakers. points." Bei Dongning handed Zhao Xuejun a glass of water.

Zhao Xuejun is currently sitting in Bei Dongning's bedroom looking at someone's photo album, while his brother Zhou Rui is downstairs meeting the girl.

"Your dad didn't say anything?" Zhao Xuejun took the water and asked apologetically.

"My dad...he's not interested in family affairs. He's busy..." Bei Dongning muttered, quietly opened the bedroom door, and waved to Zhao Xuejun. The two sneaked out of the bedroom and began to sit together Stealing sounds on the stairs.
