Back to the Northeast 1970

Lu Xiangbei and Gu Jun were very busy, and Yan Baoshu was not idle either. He hurried home and changed his pants, then dragged Yan Yufen and two little girls to rummaging through boxes and boxes. It’s really not ideal. After all, the conditions of the old Yan’s house are limited. A total of three woolen clothes were found, and one was damaged by a mouse because it was pressed on the bottom of the box for too long. Even so, this broken one The sweater was also put away by Yan Baoshu, so he could use it if he could find a way.

Yan Baoshu sat on the bench and was out of breath. He had harvested so many pieces all morning without being idle. Logically speaking, no matter how poor the family is, they wouldn’t be able to find some torn sweaters. , Dismantled and rewoven into clothes, distributed to the big guys to wear.But that's fine too, if there are too many, I'm afraid I won't be too busy, so I can just toss about the few things in front of me.

At noon, Yan Baoshu had lunch with his family. The food was pretty good. There were vermicelli and blood sausage. I heard that the second uncle Yan Yongxing’s wife’s family brought them from the countryside. Not a big deal.Since Yan Baoshu has been busy rehearsing recently, he left early and returned late, or went to Lu Xiangbei's house, so to a large extent, he almost forgot that there was a little devil at home.

Yan Baolong has calmed down a lot recently, unlike Yan Yonggui who was an asshole at that time, maybe because he was scared by falling into the Songhua River, the hurdle in his heart will not pass for a while, but anyway, this kid can calm down a bit It's a good thing, Yan Baoshu is really worried that this kid is a dog who can't change his shit, and he will continue to be his devil king for a few days.

Cutting hair has become a habit years ago. Yan Baoshu thought of it because he was too busy. Besides him, even Jin Guiqin, who has always been frugal, also trimmed his hair, not to mention Yan Baofu and Yan Baolong.The overcut Yan Baolong looks pleasing to the eye, and the inner and outer clothes are all disassembled and washed by Jin Guiqin. Not to mention, if this kid is not messy, just because he has a somewhat similar appearance to Yan Baoshu, he is really rare of.

"Baolong, take Yuxiang and Yufang out for a walk after dinner. Brother just gave you money. Don't worry about the Chinese New Year. You can buy whatever you can." Yan Baofu sat Crossing his legs on the kang, in the days without Yan Yonggui, he was the most important position in the family, the pillar.As for Yan Baoshan, who went to the countryside and didn't even return home for the Chinese New Year, it seemed that everyone had deliberately forgotten him.

Yan Baolong got off the kang very obediently, dressed neatly and went out with the two little girls.

"Baoshu, why didn't you warn Baolong?" Yan Baofu asked with a smile.

Yan Baoshu shook his head with a smile, "Judging from the situation just now, he didn't dare to embezzle the money you gave him, so I didn't say anything."

"Well, Baolong has become more honest and obedient recently, I don't know if he's just pretending or..." Yan Baofu waved his hand, "Forget about him, let me ask you, do you really want to go to the village with Lu Xiangbei tomorrow? "

Yan Baoshu asked with a smile: "What's the matter, don't you agree with it?"

Yan Baofu sighed, "I think you really want to go, so I helped you convince our mother, but I always feel that it's Lu Xiangbei's uncle's house, they are relatives, and it's normal to visit during Chinese New Year. You said that you are an outsider and followed, what if people don't like you and make you angry?"

Is it a kind of happiness to have such a brother!Thinking so, Yan Baoshu softly comforted Yan Baofu and said, "Brother, don't worry, hello Xiangbeiren, if he doesn't want me to go, he won't tell me."

Yan Baofu nodded: "That's fine, but after this is over, you have to carry some money with you, I discussed it with my sister, and each person will give you one dollar, don't think it's too little, it's mainly for emergency .”

Yan Baofu was so thoughtful, and Yan Baoshu was very moved. If it wasn't for Yan Baofu's thin skin, he would have rushed over and hugged his neck and shouted, "You are the best brother in the world."

"Oh, that's right." Yan Baofu pointed to the few ragged sweaters piled up at the door, "Tell me, what do you want these ragged clothes for?"

Yan Baoshu laughed and said, "It's not me, it's Lu Xiangbei who wants it."

"Well, then does he need anything else? Our family should be able to find some, anyway, it's not worth much, so just give it to him."

Yan Baoshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly waved his hands: "These few things are enough." After speaking, Yan Baoshu got off his shoes and sat at the door, pushed open the door and shouted to the outside room: "Sister, are you busy? Please help me."

"Here we come." Yan Yufen came in from the outhouse, wiped her hands with a rag and said, "What's wrong? What can I do for you?"

Yan Baoshu pointed to the clothes on the ground and said, "Take it apart for me, and we, my siblings, will make it into a ball of wool."

"Okay, my sister will help you."

So, Yan Baoshu didn't go out again this afternoon, but sat in the room and unpacked three and a half pieces of sweaters with Yan Yufen, and then one of them supported the wool, and the other rolled the wool into balls.Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Yan Baoshu and Yan Yufen finally finished their busy work. Yan Baoshu stood up with his waist supported, sat up and twisted his waist and said, "Sister, are you tired? If you are tired, just like me, do a little exercise."

Yan Yufen looked at Yan Baoshu with a smile, "I can't come, it looks like I don't want the radio gymnastics in the factory at all."

Yan Baoshu smiled and didn't answer. After his body was able to move flexibly, he stuffed the balled towel into his satchel. It was a coincidence that Lu Xiangbei and Gu Jun came to visit just after he finished his busy work. Well, I came to pick Yan Baoshu up to have dinner at his house under the pretense of a pretext.

Lu Xiangbei was already very familiar with the old Yan's family. After greeting Yan Baofu, Jin Guiqin and others, he took the initiative to go out with Yan Baoshu's satchel, because he was going to the countryside tomorrow, and Jin Guiqin was somewhat Uneasy, he chased out the door and told him: "Bao Shu, listen to Xiang Bei's words on the way, don't run around."

Yan Baoshu blushed and didn't know what to say, but Lu Xiangbei, who was pedaling, turned his head and yelled at Jin Guiqin: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take care of Baoshu." After speaking, Lu Xiangbei turned his head , said with a smile: "Did you hear that, your mother told you to listen to me, if you dare to run around, I will hit you in the butt."

"Get out." Yan Baoshu laughed and cursed while lying on the handlebars.

"I said you two are fine. Auntie treats me as if I don't exist, and you two treat me as nothing." Gu Jun hates being ignored by others, especially in front of his two best brothers. It made him feel very uncomfortable, even a little annoyed.

"Yo, someone is still jealous." Lu Xiangbei laughed.

Yan Baoshu elbowed Lu Xiangbei back, "Don't be joking, what if Gu Jun gets lost and jumps to the Songhua River, hahahahaha."

The three of them drove all the way in the dark, and when they arrived at the old Lu's house, the food was already on the table. The three of them washed their hands and then took their seats. The people in the old Lu's house were familiar with Yan Baoshu and Gu Jun, especially Lu Xiangbei's. Father Lu Jianjun, after hearing that Yan Baoshu was about to join the art troupe, praised Yan Baoshu repeatedly. In the end, Yan Baoshu couldn't bear the praise, so he could only leave the dinner table quickly after filling his stomach.

Gu Jun will transform into a big eater when he has delicious food and drink. Here, Yan Baoshu has left the table, and Lu Xiangbei followed immediately. Only Gu Jun still lingers on the table and refuses to leave.Lu Xiangbei didn't know what to do, so he ignored Gu Jun, and accompanied Yan Baoshu back to his room.

"Let's get up and set off tomorrow morning. My dad has already found a good car."

"What kind of car?" Yan Baoshu pondered that Lu Jianjun was an official in the mine anyway, so could it be said that this time he went to the countryside to take a jeep?If this is the case, Yan Baoshu will be lucky to catch up.

Lu Xiangbei smiled and said, "I know what you're thinking, but I have to tell you the truth, it's a carriage, the carriage of Mr. Ma's family in our mine."

Yan Baoshu was somewhat disappointed, "I thought it was a jeep."

"Hahaha." Lu Xiangbei laughed loudly: "It belongs to the state. If it wasn't for something in the factory, my dad wouldn't dare to drive it casually."

Yan Baoshu also thought about the same thing. With officials around, every move is under the nose of everyone. It is always good to pay more attention.Yan Baoshu sighed, "It's over, my jeep dream is shattered."

"Is that why you want to take a jeep so much?"

"I don't really think about it, but I haven't ridden before." The main reason is that I have never ridden in a car of this era.

Lu Xiangbei smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother will let you sit on it sooner or later."

Yan Baoshu pursed his lips and snickered, waiting for the day when you come to me in a jeep and say, "We're together"?

"Hey, what are you thinking, kid?"

Yan Baoshu came back to his senses, cleared his throat and said, "I have nothing to do tonight, should we go to pay New Year's greetings to godfather and godmother first, or go before we leave tomorrow morning."

"Let's go in a while, but we have to wait for Gu Da to finish his meal."

"Gu Dazhi?" Yan Baoshu couldn't help laughing, "This nickname is good, it's wonderful, and it's croak." Yan Baoshu smiled and reached out to get the satchel off the table, opened it, and took out the bag from the inside. He stole the crochet needle from Jin Guiqin, and then took another ball of yarn, "Anyway, I'm idle now, so I'll crochet it out."

As soon as Lu Xiangbei heard that Yan Baoshu was going to hook things with wool, he quickly moved a stool and sat down beside him, and said attentively, "What are you going to hook?"

Yan Baoshu held the crochet needle in his right hand and twirled the end of wool with his left hand. He thought for a while and said, "How about hooking a cabinet curtain? Last time I went to my godmother's house, I found that her cabinet is not big, so it shouldn't take too much effort to hook it up. Give this cabinet curtain to your godmother as a New Year's gift."

"Well, then tick it quickly, I'll take a look."

Yan Baoshu couldn't help laughing, "Why, are you afraid that I'll lie to you?" As he said, Yan Baoshu tied a head on the crochet hook with wool, then went around and crocheted once, and then picked the needle again, trying to crochet as he remembered. A perfect empty flower...

Flying the needle, Lu Xiangbei looked at it dumbfounded, "Damn it, you really know it, I thought you were just messing around."

Yan Baoshu curled his lips, "Since you think I'm messing around, why did you find so many sweaters?"

Lu Xiangbei scratched his head with a smirk, "How dare I not listen to what you said."

Yan Baoshu was amused, "Then why do I want the moon?"

"It's easy to handle. Take a basin of water and put it in the yard, and the moon will come in."

Yan Baoshu's mood at this moment is extremely beautiful, "Then what if I want to eat human flesh?"

"It's easy to handle." Lu Xiangbei rolled up his sleeves, "Eat it, as long as you don't find it greasy or salty."
