The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

  Mi Pei's "family portrait" made Zhang Xuan and Mi couldn't help looking at each other. It seems that the father-in-law also knew about the two sleeping together last night.

Otherwise, with Mi Pei's character, no matter how excited he is, he would not say "family portrait" like this. Zhang Xuan was very motivated the next day. He even caught 5 tuna in one go, but he seemed to have a relationship with yellowfin tuna. Well, 5 of them are all of them.

   With 300kg of bluefin tuna in the morning, Mi Pei and Li Wendong both gave up the fake bait and decided to use real herring as the bait

   In the words of Li Wendong: "Fake bait for sea fishing has no soul, and it is tiresome to keep shaking."

   But Zhang Xuan didn't take this set. He still used the fake bait to keep pulling back and provoking it on the sea, and the harvest was gratifying. After a whole day, he caught 12 yellowfin tuna.

   But the biggest harvest of the three was Mi Pei. Among the 8 fish caught, there were 3 bluefin tuna, each weighing over 100kg, which was really enviable.

   In the evening, just as the fisherman Casey was instructing to drive the boat into the sheltered bay on the other side of the island, he received a satellite phone call from the ground, saying that the weather had changed and a typhoon would pass by, so they quickly returned.

   Hearing that "the weather has changed and a typhoon is passing by", Kathy and Jobs looked cautious and didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and set sail back to the port of Hawaii overnight.

   Although Zhang Xuan and his party had regrets about returning early, they were satisfied.

  Now the harvest of sea fishing far exceeds the original target of 800kg, which has already made a few people addicted.

   Back on land, Zhang Xuan asked Li Wendong: "Brother Li, what are you going to do with these fish?"

  Li Wendong said with Zhang Xuan and Mi Pei: "I used to ship bluefin tuna back to China, and other less valuable fish were given to Casey and the others."

   said, Li Wendong asked: "Do you want these yellowfin tuna? If you want, I will find someone to consign them back together."

  Zhang Xuan discussed with Mi Pei, and said to Li Wendong: "Send back the three blue flag tuna uncle, and you will help with the rest."

No surprise, Li Wendong nodded: "Sure, then I'll give it to Casey directly, they can still sell for a good price locally. And if we ship them back, the shipping fee will be enough for us to have multiple copies in China. bought it."

   Zhang Xuan understood Li Wendong's words. In fact, it doesn't matter if he has money or not. Neither of them are the owners of money, but the weight of bluefin tuna is enough, and yellowfin tuna is naturally not worth spending a lot of money.

   Rest for one night.

   The next day, several people returned to San Francisco.

   Zhang Xuan and the four accompanied Li Wendong and his wife to stay here for a day. In addition to shopping and looking for delicious food, Zhang Xuan also specially bought some souvenirs.

   On August 11th, Zhang Xuan and his party boarded the plane back to Beijing.

   It's just that Zhang Xuan and Mi Jian's family of three have not yet stood firm, so Li Wendong said to them: "The blue flag tuna has arrived, let's go pick up the goods."

   Zhang Xuan was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "You are quite fast, it seems that you have delivered a lot in the past, right?"

  Li Wendong explained: "In order to ensure the deliciousness of the bluefin tuna, we usually choose to ship by air, go, and the freezer warehouse is here."

   Followed to the freezer warehouse. Zhang Xuan and Mi Pei were in trouble. It's August, it's summer, and they and others have no storage conditions at all. …

  Wen Yu saw the difficulty of the two, and immediately said to the four, "Why don't you leave it to us for storage first, and use the freezer to send the fish to the courtyard later, what do you think?"

   Zhang Xuan is most afraid of trouble. Since everyone is willing to help with this, where is there any reason to disagree?

   Zhang Xuan thanked and said, "That's a good relationship, I'll trouble my sister-in-law." Wen Yu smiled and said, "It's not a problem. For us, we are familiar with the way, and it only takes a few words to give an order. It won't take a lot of time."

   After coming out of the airport, the four of them didn’t stay any longer and went directly back to the courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang.

As soon as he entered the house and saw a familiar scene, Mi Pei put down his luggage and said to Liu Yi with emotion: "I went to the United States in 10 days, and also went to the Pacific Ocean, drinking red wine, sitting on a yacht, and fishing in the sea. It was like a dream, does it feel good? reality."

  Liu Yi closed the bedroom door and reminded: "Be quiet, don't let Zhang Xuan hear the joke."

  Mi Peiyi. Sit on the chair: "Don't worry, they are in the yard, I paid attention."

It was rare to see her husband like this, and Liu Yi smiled and relieved: "I will accompany you to walk outside every year after seeing Bao graduate work." Mi Pei nodded again and again in a good mood: "This is good, this is worth it! Three years later, we will It's almost 50, and there are not a few years left in the golden age of life, it's time to take you to the outside world to see."

   For the outside world, Liu Yi is not very longing for it, "It's bustling outside, but I prefer the current domestic life.

Mi Pei agreed: "That's true, the outside is only suitable for viewing; when it comes to life, it's better to be where we were born and raised. When you retire, the two of us should move back to Shao City, where we stayed for decades and couldn't bear it. "

   "Okay, it's up to you." Liu Yi fully agrees with the decision to return to Shao City to take care of his life. After all, everyone over there is so familiar with every inch of land, and it is naturally an excellent idea to return the fallen leaves to their roots. But she was a little worried later: "Did you say Jianbao and Zhang Xuan would get married? If we don't get married, we won't be able to go back to Shao City in our lifetime."

   Hearing this, Mi Pei, who was full of infinite expectations for the future just now, was silent for a moment, as if a basin of cold water had extinguished all his enthusiasm. But thinking of the fact that the two had slept together the night before, Mi Pei began to crouch down to pack his luggage and said, "This is the end of the matter, let my daughter decide for herself, don't put too much pressure on them.

   As the old saying goes, the more you want something, the less you can't get it.

   I’ve been through this for the past few years, just keep an eye on it and let it go. "

  Liu Yi understood her husband's potential meaning: her daughter had given up her body, and the initiative was no longer in her hands.

   And thinking of Du Shuangling, who had been with Zhang Xuan for 10 years, she sighed secretly and gave her body to Zhang Xuan with her daughter's reserved temperament. Du Shuangling's girl is probably long ago...

   Thinking of this, Liu Yi was depressed, and the optimistic vision for her daughter and Zhang Xuan's marriage in the past few days suddenly vanished.

  Everything that happened in the house, the two people in the yard knew nothing about it. Mi Jian sat on the swing and asked him, "When are you leaving?" Zhang Xuan looked at the grapes that were pecked by the bird: "No hurry, I'll stay for a while."

  Mi Jian was quiet for a while, and suddenly said: "I remember Aunt Ai Qing likes to eat sashimi, you should bring back the bluefin tuna earlier."…

   Zhang Xuan was stunned, is this driving himself away?

   But he reacted in the next second: Mi Jian was afraid that she had been with her parents for too long, and that she would easily be forced to marry if they were familiar with each other.

   She is afraid of embarrassing herself and thinking of herself.

  Thinking to this point, Zhang Xuan stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly, his face to hers, without saying a word.

  Mi saw that his mind was clear, and joked: "Should you thank me? Say something: If you have a wife like this, what can a husband ask for?"

   Zhang Xuan gave a heavy hum.

   Those words came to his heart.

   During dinner, Mi Jian said to Mi Pei and Liu Yi, "Dad, Mom, I miss my hometown a little bit. Let's go back and stay for a while while there is still some time in the summer vacation."

   Hearing this, Zhang Xuan understood that it was Mi Jian who was trying to excuse himself, so that he could leave along this reason.

  Liu Yi thought for a while and discussed with Mi Pei: "It seems that we have been in Beijing for almost February, so it's time to go back and have a look.

   His wife and daughter said so, and Mi Pei did not hesitate: "Then let's go back to Changshi first, and then spend a week in Chenshi and Shaoshi respectively."

   As soon as we left, Zhang Xuan arranged for someone to go to the airport that night to buy the four-person flight back to Changshi tomorrow.

During the    period, Mi Jian also made a special call to ask Liu Xin and her fiancé, do you want to go back together? The answer is that you can't go away.

  According to the original plan, the old man wanted to leave to visit Seagate, but the plan could not keep up with the changes, Mi Jian arranged the time, and he immediately put out his mind.

   But thinking about going back, he called Li Wendong directly, "Brother Li, we are leaving the capital tomorrow, can you help me consign the tuna to Changshi?"

   Li Wendong said happily on the phone: "No problem, your call is really timely. If it is later, I will bring you home. I will arrange it now."

   After eight o'clock in the evening, Wen Yu invited the four of them to have supper at home. Looking for an opportunity, Zhang Xuan quietly said to Wen Yu in the kitchen, "I haven't seen Seagate for a while, and I can't leave now. Sister-in-law, you have it. Time to help me take care of her."

  Wen Yu glanced at the door of the kitchen: "Okay. But the qi of the courtyard at Liulichang has dissipated, you can take her to see it next time.

   Zhang Xuan said: "Okay, thank you sister-in-law."

   After supper, the two families chatted while watching TV, and did not leave until around 11:00.

   After taking a shower, Zhang Xuan texted Seagate in bed, but unfortunately 10 minutes passed without waiting for a reply.

   Putting the phone aside, he couldn't help thinking that Seagate was very inconvenient in Beijing. If one day she got tired of CCTV, her wish would come true.

  …

  …

   I slept in a daze all night. When I woke up again, it was already bright. When I walked to the bed, I found that Mi Jian was reading a book under the grape trellis. He looked so beautiful in plain white that the old man was stunned.

   Liu Yi, who came back from shopping outside, saw Zhang Xuan's appearance as a pig brother in front of the window.

   After taking a shower, Zhang Xuan's phone calls kept going, and everyone seemed to make an appointment, and they all called hard.

   Ruan Xiuqin asked him, "Manzai, what happened the other day? I can't get through to you on the phone?"

Zhang Xuan explained the situation of going fishing at sea, and then he said: "There is no signal at sea, and we have to rely on satellite phones to communicate with the land. Don't worry, Mom, we brought a lot of bodyguards with us. The safety measures are also sufficient and nothing can go wrong.”…

Ruan Xiuqin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she was with Mi Jian's family of three. She subconsciously covered the receiver with her right hand, and asked in a low voice, "You're just a wallflower now. Mom, I'm speechless.

   Zhang Xuan said shamelessly: "I don't have you, I'm blowing this, Mom, you will definitely help me stabilize the other side."

Ruan Xiuqin was very angry and funny, and finally said sadly: "Shuangling couldn't contact you two days ago, so I was about to cry. I was afraid that something happened to you in the United States, so I still called Tao Ge later, only after knowing that you were all safe. Take it easy."

   Then Ruan Xiuqin persuaded earnestly: "Man cubs, you should take care of yourself, otherwise Mom will really lead Shuangling to become a monk. I can't bear to see Shuangling being bullied by you like this."

   Zhang Xuan was silent, and after a long time he said, "I'll be home this afternoon."

Hearing that her son was coming back, Ruan Xiuqin changed the heavy tone just now and said quickly, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, this morning Shuangling took the girl Zou Qingzhu with your eldest sister's family up the mountain to pick mushrooms, she must know you I'll be back in the afternoon, I'll be very happy."

   Zhang Xuan thought of something and asked, "Didn't Shuangling go to Changshi to bring her sister a child?"

Ruan Xiuqin replied: "Jingling fell ill some time ago, so she just went back to her hometown on vacation, and sometimes my mother would go down to help hold the child. Don't talk about full cubs, that child is very lovable. Someday you will If you have a child with Shuangling, Mom will bring it to you every day."

   Zhang Xuanyang raised his eyebrows: "Mom, can you stop trying to urge marriage?"

   Ruan Xiuqin pouted: "I'm too lazy to urge you to get married. If you can get married now, I estimate that the eighteenth generation of your old Zhang family ancestors will jump out of the soil to drink a celebration banquet. _o_m"

   Zhang Xuan: "…"

   Ruan Xiuqin went on to say: "Mom just likes children, whether it's a two-star or a Mijian, you can give birth to one for me, and I don't see rain every time I see thunder."

   Zhang Xuan was really convinced: "Don't you have three big sisters, enough for you to play."

   Ruan Xiuqin said bluntly: "That's different, they are all surnamed Ouyang, there are so many relatives over there, why do you need a mother?"

   I can't hear this. This patriarchal idea is too serious, but Zhang Xuan can't say more, because decades of thinking have become a stubborn disease, and it is useless to say it.

   On the other hand, Zhang Xuan realized it later and asked, "Why are you talking about having a child today? You haven't graduated yet?"

   Ruan Xiuqin said, "I mentioned this to your aunt last night. Your aunt said that your family has a big business and that it would be better to have a child earlier."

  Zhang Xuanming realized that he knew the underlying meaning of these words: Unforeseen circumstances may arise in the sky, and disasters and fortunes may happen to people. If there is no heir for such a large family business, it is easy to be remembered by others.

   The words are like this, and the reason is the same, but after all, it is not auspicious, so Ruan Xiuqin always talks around the corner. At the same time, these words can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, reminding the full cubs.  Don't mess around anymore, if you like Mi Jian, mom doesn't object, Shuangling's son or Mi Jian's son, mom will treat them equally.

  Thinking of his father who died unexpectedly early, Zhang Xuan, who has lived for two lifetimes, doesn't feel anything at all. People without far-sightedness must have immediate worries. …

   finally said: "Mom, I know."

   "Hey, it's good to know. Mom is going to prepare the dishes. Do you have any special dishes that you want to eat?" Ruan Xiuqin asked.

   Zhang Xuan said, "Didn't Shuangling go to pick mushrooms? Put more bacon and give your precious son a whole pot."

   ended the call, saw him put away his phone and came over, Mi Jian asked concerned: "Auntie's phone?"

"Um."

   "Auntie, has you been worried these days?"

   "Hey, blame me, I should have called them in time when I got back to land yesterday, but I forgot."

  Mi Jian said, "Then you should go home in the afternoon and don't stay in the Chang Market."

"it is good."

  After breakfast, the group went to the airport.

   Li Wendong, who saw them off, told them: "The bluefin tuna has arrived at the Huanghua Airport, you remember to pick up the goods. I also gave you the condiments for dipping sauce and eating raw, don't drop them."

   "Yes, thank you."

   "Thank you, come over and have a drink with me next time."

"no problem."

   It takes two and a half hours to go from Beijing to Changshi. Along the way, the four of them were talking and laughing, and there was always something to talk about.

   After getting off the plane, Zhang Xuan transported one tuna, and he arranged for someone to help send the other two to Chenshi.

  Because of the lack of time, Zhang Xuan didn't stop there. After chatting with Mi Jian's family of three, he hurriedly got in the car and headed home.

   It's past 11 am, and if the car doesn't break down on the road, it's just in time for dinner.

He only came home in July and came back again in August. He felt that his hometown had changed a lot. At first glance, 6 houses had new foundations. They were planning to build red brick houses. It seems that they earned a side business in Zhuhai. a lot of money.

August is the harvest season of early rice. Along the way, you can hear the sound of threshing handle, and see the figure of barefoot picking millet. There are also groups of children carrying buckets and raising their buttocks to catch loaches in the paddy fields. eel. When the monsoon blows, the golden rice waves cover each other, and the children's shouts are louder than ever. It's really lively. It is said that the fragrance of rice flowers is about a good year, and this is almost the scene.

   When he got home, Zhang Xuan-jio kicked the lying yellow dog away and hugged Shuangling who was approaching: "I'm worried about you."

"Um."

  Some people don’t have to say more about some things. Once they meet, everything is relieved, and it’s good to come back.

   Zhang Xuan handed the inseparable backpack to Shuangling, looked at Comrade Zou Qingzhu and sneered: "Didn't you say you went to the mountains to pick mushrooms? Why haven't you been stung by bees this year?"

   Hearing this, Du Shuangling laughed happily.

  Zou Qingzhu gave a hygienic eye: "I'm not stupid, I've been stinged twice, I must have figured out the regularity of bees this year.

   After dinner, Zou Qingzhu took the initiative to say to Ruan Xiuqin, "Auntie, I have the best luck picking mushrooms today, and I think I will definitely win at playing cards tonight."

   Ruan Xiuqin got up and smiled warmly: "Really, then auntie will come to your side tonight."

   After saying that, the two left the main room and the villa, and they didn't even say hello to Zhang Xuan and Du Shuangling.

   When the person left, Zhang Xuan, who had been suffocated for a while, directly pulled Du Shuangling over and became intimate.

   "Honey, don't come here."

   After more than 10 minutes, Du Shuangling said again: "Would you like to go to the bedroom upstairs?"...

   Knowing that she was thin-skinned and embarrassed, Zhang Xuan didn't tease her again this time. Then the door closed, and it was full of light.

   An hour later, the soft and muddy Du Shuangling huddled in his arms and said with a smile, "It's been hard for you these days."

   Zhang Xuan bowed his head and kissed her: "Are you full?"

  Du Shuangling lowered her eyelids and said with great satisfaction: "After eating, Zhang Xuan said: "You are full, I am not full. "

"what?"

   It was another half an hour, and the feeble Du Shuangling's voice trembled: "Husband, let me rest for a while."

   Just when Zhang Xuan wanted to continue to carry forward the spirit of hard work, the phone rang in the living room outside.

  It’s okay if it doesn’t ring, the phone rang, reminding him of bluefin tuna, he slapped his head sharply, and he almost forgot about the big event just for fun.

   Seeing this, Du Shuangling asked softly, "What's wrong?"

   Zhang Xuan got out of bed and walked to the shower room: "I brought back bluefin tuna, and I will send some to my parents later."

   Knowing that her own mother likes to eat sashimi, Du Shuangling got up with her clothes, took the change of clothes and went to the shower room outside, and answered a phone call.

"Hello?"

   "Sister-in-law, have you had dinner yet?"

   "Yeah! Manjing is you." Du Shuangling replied with a smile: "I've eaten it, it's almost digested, how about you?"

   "We just finished eating"

   After chatting for seven or eight minutes, Yang Manjing glanced at Little Eleven next to her and asked, "Sister-in-law, are my aunt and my brother at home?"

  Du Shuangling said truthfully: "Mom went outside to play cards, and your brother is taking a shower."

   Then she said, "Are you in a hurry? Would you like me to call him for you?"

  Yang Manjing heard the meaning: "sister-in-law, are you busy?"

  Du Shuangling said: "I will go home later, so I have to take a shower first."

  Yang Manjing's mouth was rounded into a nest. After a long while, she said, "Then, that sister-in-law, go to work first, and I'll call you tomorrow."

"it is good."

   Put the receiver back, Yang Manjing turned her head and said to Little Eleven: "What should I do? What should I do? My brother is taking a bath, my sister-in-law is taking a bath, and the dinner they ate has already been digested. You said they were just now"

   Said, Yang Manjing's two thumb gestures touched each other: "Did you make a child just now?"

   Little Eleven stretched and said nothing.

   Seeing that she didn't respond, Yang Manjing stimulated her with words: "I think sister-in-law Shuangling must have guessed that you were next to me and knew that you were trying to beat her husband, so she said that on purpose."

  Xiao Shiyi got up, picked up the badminton racket and said, "Let's go down to digest food."

  Yang Manjing shouted from behind: "What's the use of venting your anger with badminton, if you have the ability, you can kick my sister-in-law Shuangling out of bed and squeeze my brother's bed to digest your food."

   Little Eleven glanced at her and walked forward.

   Yang Manjing continued to hurt: "If my sister-in-law Shuangling is tired, you can take over. Although you can't eat meat, you can also drink soup, and maybe drink soup with different flavors.

   Hearing this, Little Eleven who walked outside the door returned to the house and slammed the door shut.

   Yang Manjing felt that something was wrong, so she ducked on her hips: "What are you doing, Little Eleven? Let me tell you, if you want to go to my aunt's table, you have to get my permission."

   A few minutes later, Yang Manjing covered her mouth and begged for mercy: "My sister-in-law, don't tear it up, don't tear it up, my sister-in-law."

   After 10 minutes, Yang Manjing poured herbal tea like a dog's leg.

  Xiao Shiyi took a sip of the herbal tea and asked, "I heard that the specialty of Shao City is pig blood balls, is that delicious?"

  Yang Manjing nodded and bowed: "It's delicious, the inside is red with pig blood, very fragrant, and the outside is smoky, very delicious."

   Little Eleven said slowly, "It's black? Don't eat it."

  Yang Manjing squatted down to help him beat his legs: "If you're afraid of the soot being dirty, you can eat it as soon as possible. You can eat it a few days after it's been hung up, and it's not completely blackened."

  Xiao Eleven stretched out his right hand and pinched Yang Manjing's chin: "Bring some for me next time."

   "Wang Wang~, I will definitely bring it here for you." Yang Manjing swears.
