Back to the Northeast 1970

Yan Baoshu and Gu Jun came to Captain Li's house just in time for dinner, the two of them had just entered the door when Captain Li dragged them into the house, put a pot of wine on fire, and the third man surrounded the table sat down before.Originally, I was supposed to come to visit Captain Li and his wife on the day of Chinese New Year, but it was too late, so it was delayed.

Captain Li is an honest person, and he can't hide his thoughts. He was somewhat angry that Yan Baoshu's children didn't come to see him during the Chinese New Year, even though he believed under the persuasion of his wife that they might have something to do. , but as a role of godfather, it is understandable to hope that his godson will come to visit him.

"You brats, you only remembered it after this year was over. Why, I'm afraid that your godfather will ask you for a gift." Captain Li pretended to be angry, but after all, he is not the kind of person who is born with a mask and can live. Man, before he finished his complaint, he couldn't help laughing himself.

Captain Li's daughter-in-law brought in a pot of stewed blood sausage with sauerkraut from the outhouse. Seeing Captain Li's laughing and angry virtue, she couldn't help but tease: "Leave him alone, your godfather just loves to pretend." Putting the dishes on the table, "This is from the godmother's hometown. Although there are not many of them, you two have caught up." After she finished speaking, she sighed, "It's a pity that the child Xiangbei didn't Good luck."

Captain Li clicked his tongue, "What's the matter? After a while, you can use the small helmet to hold some treasure books and send them to the north, and it will be over."

"That's right. Look at my head. I can't figure out what I've been busy with lately. You guys are eating, and there's a dish out there."

Yan Baoshu watched Captain Li's daughter-in-law leave the house, and said to Captain Li guiltily, "Godfather, we should have come to see you and godmother on New Year's Day, because we left in a hurry...but you guys always miss Look at us, we are so ignorant."

Gu Jun was also quite touched, nodded sharply and said, "Yes godfather, we should have come here sooner."

"What are you two brats talking about? You're still seeing your godfather." Captain Li took hot white wine from the enamel tank, poured three glasses and said, "I'm a little angry, you said you want Let's go, why don't you come and tell me, I've been angry for several days." After finishing speaking, Captain Li laughed loudly, "Your godmother just said that I am narrow-minded, that you must have something to do, or you will definitely come over." Captain Li picked up the wine glass, "It's considered that you have come here with conscience. Although it's a bit late, it's better than never."

Yan Baoshu and Gu Jun raised their glasses respectively, "We always think about godfather and mother."

"Okay, I understand what you're thinking, don't say anything, everything is in the wine. Since you're here, let's have a good drink with my godfather today."

The topic of not coming to pay New Year's greetings has been completely overturned, and the third father happily drank the white wine in the glass.The scalded wine was full of flavor and strength. After drinking a glass, Yan Baoshu felt his whole body warmed up. Coupled with the scorching heat in the room, Yan Baoshu took off his cotton-padded jacket without saying a word, and sat in the room wearing a sweater , It means that you want to drink until you are not drunk.

"Here we come." Captain Li's daughter-in-law brought up the last dish and said with a smile, "This is a wild egg from my hometown in the countryside. We spread an egg pancake for you, which is just right for the three of you. Have a drink."

"Thank you, godmother."

"Thank you godmother."

"It's all a family, you're welcome, let's eat quickly."

As soon as Captain Li's wife sat down, Yan Baoshu stood up, went to the table and took out the cabinet curtain and a red scarf that he had just hooked up recently from the satchel, "Godmother, this is a gift from us." Here it is for you, see if you like it."

"Yo, why did you buy this for me?" Captain Li's daughter-in-law took the cabinet curtain and scarf from Yan Baoshu and took a closer look, "Yo, where did you buy this from? It's quite expensive, right? You said you kids, it’s fine if you have the heart, and it’s really not worth taking money.” After she finished speaking, she stood up and took out a handkerchief from her trouser pocket, “How much is it, the godmother reimbursed you.”

Yan Baoshu and Gu Jun looked at each other and smiled, Yan Baoshu said: "Godmother, don't give us money, it's right to show filial piety to you, besides, this is not bought with money, I hooked it up with my own hands."

"Really?" Captain Li and his wife were surprised. They studied the cabinet curtains and scarves together for a long time, and then heard the continuous praise from Captain Li's wife, "Baoshu Ah, your child really surprised the godmother, this girl's hands may not be as good as yours."

Although this was a sincere compliment from Captain Li and the others, Yan Baoshu just felt it was weird, but he didn't hide his thoughts, and instead shared them with them, "Godmother, tell me I'm alone." The half-grown guy hooked this joke, isn't it too rouge?"

"Hey, how did you say that." Captain Li's wife laughed and said, "I'll tell you the truth, when I was having sex with your godfather, the family was poor, and your godfather was looking at other people. The girls in my family all have gloves to wear, but my family can’t afford them. Then one day, your godfather suddenly delivered a pair of gloves to me. I was overjoyed at the time, so I brought them over to have a look..." Li The captain's daughter-in-law recalled the past, almost smiling from ear to ear.

Yan Baoshu and Gu Jun listened with gusto, eager to know the follow-up, "What did you see? Damn, tell me quickly."

"I took the gloves and took a look, and I almost laughed so hard." She put her hands together in front of her chest, and said happily, "The stitches are all messed up, and the splicing threads are all sticking out. What's more serious is that there are many small holes in some places, which are ugly and broken."

Captain Li's past was shared by his daughter-in-law, and his simple and honest nature was revealed again, just like the brat when he pursued her back then, "What are you talking about, what are you talking about?"

Yan Baoshu looked at the couple, not only with envy, but also with emotion, "Godmother, although the gloves my godfather gave you are ugly and broken, you like them very much. I think you have kept those gloves until now." A pair of gloves?"

Captain Li's wife was taken aback by Yan Baoshu's words, and asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Yan Baoshu smiled and said: "I guess, because these are the best memories of you and my godfather."

Captain Li's daughter-in-law's eyes were red, "Although I was poor at that time, I was very happy, but now it also proves my vision at that time. Marrying your godfather is the greatest blessing in my life, but..." She couldn't control her emotions and really cried.

Yan Baoshu knew why she was crying, and Captain Li understood the situation even more. He quickly comforted his daughter-in-law and said, "Okay, the children are here, why are you crying? Besides, you've been here all these years , When did I blame you, maybe it was my own problem, hurry up tomorrow, I'll go to the hospital for a checkup."

Yan Baoshu was greatly surprised. Captain Li’s words gave him goosebumps all over his body. What kind of era is this? The age of patriarchy. If the situation of Captain Li and his wife is placed in someone else’s house, the future may not change. What is it like?In addition, if this kind of situation happened to other people, most men would not think that it was their own problem, and most of them would suspect that there was something wrong with the woman's stomach.

"It's because you never blamed me that I blame myself. It's because I don't live up to it."

Captain Li panicked completely. Ever since he married a wife and came in, the thing he was most afraid of was that the wife would cry, "You mother-in-law, don't cry, I'm going to panic if you cry again."

"Why are you panicking? I'm blaming myself. It's none of your business."

"I mean, you are my daughter-in-law, can I not panic." Captain Li pushed the wine glass in front of him, "Let's not think about those things, just let nature take its course, God is not beautiful, we can't help it, we I still have to live as usual. Didn’t I just say it, maybe it’s my problem? Let’s wait until spring to find a time, and I’ll go to the hospital. If the doctor says we can’t get pregnant, it’s okay. Isn’t there three Are you a son? I'm afraid that no one will take care of him in the old age, you two brats, don't you think so?"

Yan Baoshu was very moved, and he spoke boldly: "Yes, Godmother, don't worry, Xiangbei, Gu Jun, and I will be filial to your elders for the rest of our lives. Although we are not related by blood, but You love us, love us, care about our feelings, and we will never forget it in our lifetime."

Gu Jun quickly agreed, "That's right, godmother, don't worry, we are here."

Captain Li's daughter-in-law wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "I'm all very happy, what a spoiler to look at me, hey... You're right, me and your godfather and you."

After this short episode, the family resumed the lively and warm scene just now. It was not until after ten o'clock at night that Yan Baoshu and Gu Jun came out of Captain Li's house drunk.They didn't let Captain Li and his wife go out. Under the moonlight, the two returned home one by one.

When Yan Baoshu returned home, Jin Guiqin was scared out of his wits by the smell of alcohol and his crooked appearance, because Yan Baoshu hugged her as soon as he entered the door, and said with a smirk, "Mom, I'm back."

It took Jin Guiqin a long time to react, "Baoshu, have you been drinking? Where did you get it from?"

"Well, I drank it. I drank it at my godfather's house."

"Godfather?" Jin Guiqin didn't know that Captain Li recognized Yan Baoshu as his son, so he just thought he was drunk and crazy, "What nonsense is this kid talking about?"

Yan Baoshu sat on the kang and said with a smile: "Baoshu has grown up, and he has social activities."

Yan Baoshu giggled, "Brother..." Yan Baoshu threw off his cotton shoes and climbed onto the kang, sat on the back with Yan Baofu and said, "Brother, I'm going to give a gift to my future sister-in-law when you get married. Our mother has a share. , our sister also has a share."

"What?"

The two women mentioned by name were very curious, Yan Yufen came over and touched Yan Baoshu's face, and said with a smile: "He is really a person who goes to work to earn money, and they all know to give us gifts."

"Brother, is there any part for us?" Yuxiang has been getting closer to Baolong recently. Because of Yan Yonggui's death, Yan Baolong's character has been softened a lot. Suppression, it can be seen that the peasants stood up and sang, completely defeating the landowners.

"You young ones, don't join in the fun, I will send you off when you grow up."

"Brother, this is what you said, we are waiting."

Yan Yufen smiled and asked, "Baoshu, what are you going to give us?"

"secret."

Jin Guiqin couldn't stop laughing, "This kid has always been on his mind, we can't ask anything. He drank a lot of wine, let him lay down the quilt quickly and let him rest."

Yan Baoshu was drunk for a long time, and was finally coaxed into bed. He slept very soundly this time, until the next morning, he had a dream in a daze. In the dream, it was Lu Xiang Bei flung his teeth and claws at him without any image... Yan Baoshu was completely woken up by Lu Xiangbei's scolding in his dream. He sat up in a daze, frightening Yan Baolong who was wearing clothes next to him.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Have a nightmare?"

Yan Baoshu looked at Yan Baolong and said with a smile, "I didn't have a nightmare."

"Oh, then you should get up too. The second aunt came here just now and sent croquettes to our house."

"Well, you go and eat first."

Yan Baoshu sat on the kang, recalled Lu Xiangbei in his dream and smiled, "Isn't it because I didn't see you last night, why did you come to scold me in my dream!"

The author has something to say:

In fact, the relationship between Captain Li and his wife is the most harmonious. Knowing how to understand each other and find reasons for each other, I believe their relationship can last longer.

Compared with a man who only cares about making money outside, I personally prefer a man who understands the hard work of his wife and knows how to run a family.

Of course, many girls now prefer a cool, handsome and domineering president, but in reality, there are very few of them, and some people feel that marrying a man who knows how to live is equivalent to marrying a worthless man with no manliness ! ! ! !

What is masculinity, in fact, this kind of girl doesn't know at all! ! !Either smelly feet and muscles, or manly and masculine.

Personally, I think that a man who knows how to be a good husband and father is the most manly, isn't it?
