Back to the Northeast 1970

Yan Baoshu and Lu Xiangbei brushed past each other, which also proved that the events of tonight had completely changed.Tat for tat owes nothing to anyone, and if he meets Chen Hongbing and others in the future, Yan Baoshu can only ask for blessings. The helplessness of "birth" at an untimely time intensifies in Yan Baoshu's inner world, when will he be big!

After Lu Xiangbei left, Yan Baoshu was still waiting at the same spot, not long after, Yan Baoshu saw Yan Baofu in the crowd, "Second brother."

Yan Baofu came over and asked with a smile: "I came early, I searched for you inside and didn't see you, when did you come?"

Yan Baoshu said, "I'm more than ten minutes late."

"It's not too late. Let's go, go home."

Yan Baofu went down the steps first, and Yan Baoshu followed him to get the bicycle, "Second brother, you came early, did you see Gong Xiaohai?"

"Gong Xiaohai?" Yan Baofu thought about it carefully, "I didn't see it."

Yan Baoshu nodded, "I guess he didn't come, maybe his ticket was stolen by his younger brother again."

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe I didn't see him coming. It's so dark inside, what can I clean?" Yan Baofu got to the front of the bicycle, unlocked it and got entangled under the seat. He pushed the bicycle out and adjusted it. Xiang Xiang sat straddling it, held the handlebar with one hand and said, "Come on."

Bicycles are the most common means of transportation at present, but not everyone can own one.In the Northeast, bicycles have a very famous nickname "Iron Donkey". Literally, it is nothing more than excellent quality. If you take care of it a little bit, it will definitely not be a problem to ride for ten or eight years.Yan Baofu's two bicycles are "Flying Pigeon" brand, and the price is around [-] yuan, which is equivalent to more than half a year's salary.Not only that, but in this era when coupons are needed everywhere, money alone is not enough to buy a bicycle, and fifty industrial coupons are also required.This shows how much work has to be done in order to buy a bicycle.

In addition, as the most important means of transportation in the current society, bicycles have become common and commonplace for carrying people.However, today's bicycles do not have a back seat. If you want to be taken, you have to sit in front of the cyclist. So far, bicycles have transformed from a means of transportation into a major way of chasing love.The relationship in this era is relatively simple, and Yan Baoshu and Yan Baofu are brothers, so it is not unusual to see a man riding a bicycle with another man on the main road.

After Yan Baoshu jumped into the car, Yan Baofu put his hands in his arms, and pedaled vigorously on his feet. The bicycle swayed from side to side for a few times, and then stabilized. After picking up speed, the two brothers sped westward under the moonlight. and go.

On the way back, Yan Baoshu was curious, half lying on the handlebars and asked with a smile: "Second brother, who is that girl who watched the show with you?"

Yan Baofu was obviously taken aback for a moment, but then he smirked in two seconds, "Did you see it all?"

Yan Baoshu nodded: "Although it's dark inside, I can't bear it. My eyesight is good. Tell me quickly, who is that girl? Are you dating?" After the words fell, Yan Baoshu could clearly feel the embarrassment of Yan Baofu behind him , and there was still a trace of panic.

"Oh, second brother, just tell me. If you don't tell me, I'll tell you when I get home." Yan Baoshu threatened with a smile.

Yan Baofu had no choice but to smile wryly: "You brat, where did you learn this trick?"

Yan Baoshu laughed and said, "I'm just curious, why didn't you tell your family that you're dating, your parents must be very happy to know."

"What are you talking about?" Yan Baofu sighed happily, and then said: "The girl and I both work in the construction team, and usually take care of me. She got the tickets for today's performance."

Yan Baoshu was lying on the handlebars, unable to stop his interest, "Second brother, you said she took care of you, why did she take care of you?"

"How do you take care of it?" Yan Baofu thought and thought, maybe it was because he took too much care, and he couldn't tell for a while, "She helped me cook when I was busy, and secretly put my shirt on after I finished eating." Put an apple or something in your pocket, and occasionally help me with my laundry, oh yes, I even gave me a pair of soles a few days ago."

Yan Baoshu felt his happiness from Yan Baofu's description, and couldn't help teasing him: "Second brother, was it you who opened the mouth first or she opened the mouth first? How long have you been together? Have you ever kissed?"

At first glance, Yan Baofu was the kind of person who treated his feelings with special reservations. After Yan Baoshu asked such a question, his whole face turned red, but Yan Baoshu couldn't see him with his back turned to him.Yan Baofu was really embarrassed to tell Yan Baoshu these things, so he accelerated his pedaling speed to maintain his steady state of mind.

"Second brother, why don't you talk?" Yan Baoshu suppressed a smile.

Yan Baofu coughed dryly, "Why are you asking so much?"

"Just tell me." Yan Baoshu turned his head slightly, stared at Yan Baofu's chin and said, "You see, I am already this old, and I will definitely meet a good girl in the near future. You tell me now, and I will be fine too." Study and study." Yan Baoshu believed that the girl took a fancy to Yan Baofu not because of Yan Baofu's long-term spirit, but because of his honest, honest and enterprising character.

Men like Yan Baofu are liked by many girls. In addition, there is another kind of man who is also very popular with girls, that is, there is a bad energy all over his body, and his words are humorous. The man together, the joy of life is increased a lot.Of course, one is not bad than the other, all that is needed is a humor that can make people laugh out loud.

Yan Baofu was so easy to deceive, he was fooled by Yan Baoshu and honestly confessed his relationship with that girl.The girl's surname is Wang, and she works in the civil engineering team like Yan Baofu, and also has the same type of work as Yan Yufen.Yan Baofu's brain is not bright enough, at first he only regarded Ms. Wang as a friendly comrade, and they have the purest friendship with each other, but slowly... Ms. Wang can't stand his dullness anymore. In order to pursue the happiness she wants, She finally confessed her feelings to Yan Baofu in an empty corner.It is said that men chase women across the mountain, and women chase men through layers of gauze. Facing Ms. Wang's blunt words, Yan Baofu quickly fell...

After hearing what Yan Baofu said, Yan Baoshu gave Ms. Wang a big check mark in her heart, she is a brave girl.

"Second brother, when are you and Miss Wang going to register for marriage?"

Yan Baofu blushed again, "What are you talking about, my parents haven't agreed to this yet."

"Oh, that's it." Yan Baoshu squinted his eyes and smiled, "Have you met his parents?"

Yan Baofu hummed weakly.

"How do they feel about you?"

Yan Baofu thought about it, and said with a smirk: "It should be... not bad."

"That's all right. If you have time, bring Miss Wang to our house to identify the door. I promise our parents will be happy."

Speaking of this, Yan Baofu sighed, "This matter... Actually, I am also quite anxious, but there is nothing I can do."

"What's wrong?" Yan Baoshu asked suspiciously.

Yan Baofu said: "The bride price, how can the family have so much money?"

"How much does Miss Wang's family want?"

Yan Baofu thought for a while, "At least three turns and one sound are all ready."

"Three turns and one ring?" Yan Baoshu recalled hearing his mother mention it before. The most popular dowry gift at this time was three turns and one sound. "Sewing machines, watches, bicycles, radios", these four things are all ready. People are willing to marry girls to you.Of course, most people can't make it together, because it is too expensive. In such a case, they have to use other items instead.

At this time, Yan Baoshu understood why Yan Baofu hadn't brought Ms. Wang home to show her parents' eyes.

At this moment, Yan Baofu sighed, "I heard from her parents that she still wants to add 36 legs."

"What's the answer?" Yan Baoshu's eyes widened in surprise, "Three turns and one sound are not enough? Do you want 36 legs?" What are 36 legs?They are all vertical cabinets, flat cabinets, high and low beds, etc., which are collectively referred to as 36 legs. In this way, the cost of three turns and one sound is enough for the old Yan's family. Adding 36 legs, this often Can't survive the days after?It is understandable for the old Wang family to open their mouths for the sake of the girl, but the man's family conditions must be considered after all, right?

Yan Baofu still sighed, "They didn't say this directly, I guessed it myself."

"Then are you going to agree?" Yan Baoshu asked.

Yan Baofu shook his head: "What are you promising? Even if the house is dismantled and sold, it may not be possible to get all these together."

Yan Baoshu didn't expect that the matter would go to such a depth. After thinking about it over and over again, he comforted him and said, "Second brother, we still need to discuss this matter. I don't believe what the conditions of our family are. The old Wang family doesn't know. Find a chance and you and our father Talk to Mom, I'm sure there will be a solution."

Yan Baofu had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Your boy has started to care about me, why don't you care about yourself when you have this time."

"I have nothing to worry about." Yan Baoshu pretended to be relaxed.

Yan Baofu said: "You will be graduating next year. You haven't even thought about any plans?" Yan Baofu would occasionally think about the future for his younger brother. Because of Yan Yonggui's relationship, Yan Baoshu was not popular in school. Guards, the reason is still sufficient, it seems that they are about to graduate, and it may take a lot of effort to jump in the queue, but if they don't go, will Yan Baoshu be allowed to hang out with the family?Thinking of this, Yan Baofu said again: "It's really not possible, you can go to work in the mine."

"Let's talk about it at that time. Anyway, haven't you graduated yet?" Yan Baoshu is not more relaxed than Yan Baofu, and he is also worried about his future, but he is not depressed because of the difficulties in front of him. There is always a way, he Still need a little time to slowly explore.

The two brothers came home, Yan Baofu locked the car with the yard, Yan Baoshu entered the house first, and at this moment, Jin Guiqin and Yan Yufen were sitting on the bench outside the room grinding corn, "I'm back, where is your second brother?"

Yan Baoshu said: "I locked the car outside." After speaking, Yan Baoshu ran to the front of the water tank to scoop up half a ladle of cold water, and drank it with a gurgle.

Jin Guiqin smiled helplessly: "Those brothers have developed a habit of drinking cold water when they enter the door, and they are not afraid of getting upset."

Yan Yufen echoed, "They're all pretty solid."

"Is the performance tonight good?" Jin Guiqin asked again.

After Yan Baoshu drank the water, he threw the ladle on the tank lid, "Well, it looks pretty." After finishing his sentence, Yan Baoshu turned around and entered the small corridor. When he reached the door of the hut, he walked over and knocked on the door, "Brother came in."

The two girls in the room crawled out of the bed one after another, "Third brother, what's the matter?"

Yan Baoshu took Mao Ke out of his pocket with a smile, and whispered to the two sisters: "Eat secretly, do you understand?"

Yan Yufang and Yan Yuxiang looked unhappy just now, but now they rolled their eyes with a smile, "Oh my third brother, where did you get Mao Ke?"

"It was given by someone else."

Yan Yuxiang took Mao Ke and hid it under the pillow, but Yan Yufang smiled and beckoned to Yan Baoshu. When Yan Baoshu approached curiously, she whispered in Yan Baoshu's ear: "Third Brother, Baolong is going out to play at night. He was robbed of two cents, he was so scared that he wet his pants!"

Yan Baoshu was taken aback: "What's going on?"

Yan Yufang said angrily: "Who knows, I was robbed anyway. Our parents never give me Yuxiang a penny. If Baolong hadn't been robbed, how would we know this?"

Yan Baoshu understood the feelings of these two little girls very well, he raised his hand and rubbed Yan Yufang's head, "Hurry up and go to bed, I'll go to that room to have a look."

Yan Baoshu came out from the hut to the big one. When he entered the door, Yan Yonggui was wearing a single shirt and sitting on the bench on the ground smoking. Seeing Yan Baoshu entering, he took a look and then lowered his head, "Where's your second brother?"

"It's outside." Yan Baoshu took off his dog fur hat and cotton gloves. At the same time, he secretly looked at Yan Baolong who was lying in the bed, and he was so scared that he peed his pants. It seems that a mouse is really lying in the bed with a gun!

The author has something to say: Most of the betrothal gifts in the 70s wanted a three-turn and one-ring ring, but there were too few people who could actually give it out. As for the substitutes, most of them were washbasins and the like.

36 legs is even harder, but is it okay to fantasize about it?In addition, the radio in the three revolutions and one ring has been replaced by semiconductors in the early 70s, which is more advanced than the 60s, hahaha.

Bicycles were very expensive at that time. The average worker had to pay half a year’s wages in March. Phoenix, Feige, and Forever are the three major brands of bicycles. They cost about 50 yuan plus [-] industrial coupons. So how big it was to own a bicycle at that time dream.More importantly, with a bicycle, it is convenient to pick up girls, haha.

There are also many brands with three rings and one turn. Bingcheng brand watches are produced in Harbin, and they were also very popular in the Northeast at that time.Butterfly brand sewing machines and radios include Disang and Maple, hahaha.
