Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

Xu Nannan felt that his three views had been completely refreshed time and time again.

In Xu Meizi's and Xu Hong's eyes, where is the bottom line of human beings? Is it too low? Use your innocence to go to the object...

On the way back, she talked to Lin Qingbai about this.

Lin Qingbai said directly, "Stay away from them." This Nizi usually looks at someone who is quite clever, but she still has too little knowledge, and she doesn't know how ugly people can be.

Xu Nannan nodded firmly. She just looked at Wu Bin and felt uncomfortable all over her body when she heard his nasty words. He and Xu Meizi are not normal anymore.

Although I don't want to meet Wu Bin anymore, but this one who works in the mine can't see you and see you down. At work the next day, Xu Nannan met Wu Bin again.

She quickly avoided it as if she hadn't seen it.

When I was eating at noon, I looked at Xu Meizi's side and looked at Wu Bin's strict control. I felt melancholy. Do not perish in silence, just erupt in silence.

"The New Year is about to come, we are going to the provincial party performance here, don't you sign up this year?"

Zhu Fang asked while eating.

Next to him, Li Weiming brought her soup and put it on her hand, not to mention being considerate.

Xu Nannan felt spicy eyes, and stuffed sorghum cakes in his mouth, "What kind of performance?"

"Even our units have to go to the province to perform. Not all can go, we have to choose people to go. We have to watch the show. There was a shortage of food last year, and the province was bothered by this, so no one would go. This year seems to be going. Prepare, we heard about this in the office today." After speaking, he sighed, "My pregnant belly has no chance this year." Who doesn't want to take advantage of the youthful glory.

Xu Nannan doesn't like to participate in this kind of show, and feels it doesn't help her work, and she doesn't have this specialty herself. Sing or dance?

What she can sing in this meeting is the song of mass production, or she can sing yangko, which she can't do.

On the other side, Xu Meizi was also discussing this with her co-workers. At the end of the year, I was busy and there was nothing to entertain. The old workers guessed that someone might be selected to perform in the province this year.

Xu Meizi listened to her ears, and her heart was hot. This is a good opportunity to show off, and you will always be able to use it in the future. And this time I went there and opened my eyes, and I will know more people in the future.

Wu Bin has been listening quietly next to him, and when he heard Xiao Jiujiu's heart started to play, "Meizi, do you want to participate? If there is such a thing, you can go and participate."

Xiaoqin looked at Wu Bin, and looked at Xu Meizi with jealousy, "Maybe you can't do it, Meizi, people are required to be able to sing and dance."

Xu Meizi said with a cold face, "Of course I know this. I used to perform when I was in school. I forgot, you didn't read much."

Xiaoqin was suddenly speechless by Ge Ying, and the corner of his eyes floated towards Wu Bin, with a little grievance.

Wu Bin glanced at her with wandering eyes, then looked at Xu Meizi. "Meizi, if you want to go, I will help you find a relationship."

"Why are you so active this time" Xu Meizi said, looking at him.

Wu Bin smiled and said, "I'm not looking forward to you, I'm going to get married anyway, and when you are done, there will be light on our face."

Xu Meizi couldn't help being happy when he heard about the marriage. Although she threatened Wu Bin, she still liked Wu Bin in her heart.

"Then if there is such a chance, I will try."

Participating in the provincial party show was assigned to various departments in the afternoon. Let each department report a program, and then go back to the mine to select it, and then go to the province.

Section Chief Xiao took the notice and glanced around in the office. In the end, the eyes were still staring at Xu Nannan with a nice eye.

What kind of performance also needs a fresh face. I can't let the two big masters go up.

Xu Nannan was uncomfortable being seen by Section Chief Xiao, "I really can't, I can't sing or dance." The key is that she doesn't like participating in this kind of performance.

"No way to learn. Young people must have confidence and challenge spirit. Xiao Zhang is too dark, and Li Weiming has to take care of his daughter-in-law, not to mention Sister Liu, the house is busy. You are the only single young woman in our office. , This matter can only be handled by you."

Hearing what Section Chief Xiao said, Xu Nannan looked at the others in the office.

Everyone nodded to her.

After get off work in the afternoon, Xu Nannan sat in the car worrying, "Brother Lin, what should I do, I worry about going to perform. I want to fool around, but I don't want to disappoint Section Chief Xiao and the others."

"Sing a song if it doesn't work."

"No." She can sing pop songs, and when she sings it out, can't people say that it is a sluggish sound?

"Then you can perform whatever you know. It's really not good. Temporary practice is okay. As long as you try your best, it's okay if you don't choose it."

After hearing this, Xu Nannan felt that it was the same. If I work hard, who can I blame for not being selected.

When I want to open it, I feel better. She pulled Lin Qingbai's clothes, "You haven't told me, what day is it today?"

She has been thinking about it for a long time at home, but she hasn't figured out what day it is.

Lin Qingbai smiled, "I'll talk about it later."

Instead of going to the restaurant, the car went to the county committee compound.

At the door, Master Ke greeted with a smile. Entering the door, he met the magistrate Sun’s wife again, "Xie Xiao is here to play today."

"He said to take me to dinner." Xu Nannan pointed at Lin Qingbai.

County Magistrate’s wife laughed, “No wonder the old Gao’s said that he helped Xiaolin bring vegetables back today. It turned out that he was inviting you to dinner. Xiaolin can take care of it today.”

Xu Nannan smiled shyly.

When he returned to the room, Lin Qingbai had already set up a small table and asked Xu Nannan to wait in the room before he went out.

Xu Nannan sat bored and simply read the books in Lin Qingbai's bookcase.

In addition to political and ideological books, there are also some foreign books. Brother Lin knows a lot. In addition to books, there are a lot of newspapers on the desk, neatly stacked. Xu Nannan picked it up and looked at it. In many places, he drew horizontal lines with a blue pen.

Just about to take a closer look at the place where the horizontal line was drawn, Lin Qingbai came in with a large tray on which several dishes were placed.

Braised pork, half a roast chicken, and vinegar Chinese cabbage.

Xu Nannan said, "It's not Chinese New Year, what do you do with so many meat dishes."

Lin Qingbai smiled and went out and returned soon. This time he was carrying a bowl with a big bun on it, with a red dot in the middle of the bun.

After closing the door, the two of them sat around the small square table.

Lin Qingbai raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "I have never seen you so big-hearted. I don't even remember my birthday."

"birthday?"

Xu Nannan recalled it for a while, and there really was no such thing as a birthday. She was an orphan in her previous life, no one had given her a birthday, and she was not happy to have it herself. After coming here, the original owner didn't even have a birthday in her memory, and she naturally wouldn't have this consciousness herself.

So today, she really didn't expect her birthday.

Lin Qingbai smiled, "I asked my grandfather. He read the date on your account book. I don't know if it's correct. I just followed this one anyway."

Xu Nannan sucked his sour nose, but felt that his nose was getting more and more sour, and his eyes were extremely hot, and something kept flowing out.

Lin Qingbai suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly wiped her tears, "What's the matter, it's not that I made a mistake on the day. If it makes a mistake, it will be fine. Let's date today. When you are on your day, we will have another one. I also feel that today is not appropriate, so I just have a meal and can't take you out to play."

"No, that's right." Xu Nannan's crying nasal voice was heavy, and his words were vague, "I am, happy. Very pleasantly surprised."

For two lifetimes, she finally has a birthday. There is another person to accompany her on her birthday.

"No birthday before." She wiped her tears.

Lin Qingbai's eyes flashed distressed, and the hand that wiped her tears also stopped. This little girl...no wonder she doesn't remember her birthday.

Compared with Xiao Nizi, he is much happier. No matter how bitter he was when he was a child, his mother would celebrate his birthday with a wowotou as a birthday package. Later when he arrived at He's house, his adoptive parents would celebrate his birthday.

After returning to Lin's house, the aunt would never forget his birthday.

"I will accompany you every birthday in the future." Lin Qingbai solemnly promised. Fortunately, Xiao Nizi met him...and she can only meet him.

Xu Nannan wiped away his tears and nose with a square towel, and said with a red nose, "It's not a big deal, but it's nothing."

"Why is it not a big thing? Everyone who comes into this world is a big thing. For me, you are my big thing."

Looking at Xu Nannan's red nose, Lin Qingbai was loving and pitiful, and leaned in and kissed gently.

Xu Nannan looked at him, "Is this a birthday present?"

"No." Lin Qingbai smiled and took out a small box from his pocket. A quaint silver chain. The flower pendant and the chain are integrated, and the shape is clearly different from modern craftsmanship.

Xu Nannan took it over and couldn't put it down, "It's so delicate."

"I asked an old craftsman to help, just this one." Lin Qingbai smiled and helped her put it on. I wanted to get a gem on it, but I was worried that it would be too ostentatious and would be bad for her. The silversmith could only get a small silver flower as a pendant.

Xu Nannan took the pendant and looked at it for a long time, and found that there was a southern character engraved on the back of the pendant.

Looking at the silver pendant, Xu Nannan's eyes lit up. This is the first birthday gift she received, and it is also her favorite one. You will keep it for the rest of your life, well, pass it on to your children and grandchildren.

She put her arm around Lin Qingbai's neck and kissed him **** the face.

It's because of living in this era, if in the future, I still don't know how many women I will provoke.

Xu Nannan bit his lip last and almost broke his skin. "Lin Qingbai, you are so popular."

The likable Comrade Lin was picked and sweating all over, he couldn't help it. With a long hand, he held Xiao Nizi in his arms and pressed her lips.

…

"No, I have to go back." Xu Nannan breathed unsteadily.

Lin Qingbai panted, "Wait another two minutes."

…

"Go back!" Lin Qingbai made up his mind.

Xu Nannan looked at him pitifully, "Lack of strength."

When I was about to leave, I found that the shoubao hadn't been eaten yet, and the food hadn't been eaten much.

It's cold.

Xu Nannan looked at him complainingly.

Lin Qingbai felt that this house could not stay any longer. You must not make mistakes before you get married.

Simply wrap the longevity bag in kraft paper and pull Xu Nannan out.

Otian Zhenghun was eating melon seeds, and seeing Lin Qingbo pulling Xu Nannan to come, he suddenly felt energetic and greeted the two of them to sit down.

Lin Qingbai gave her the steamed buns, asked her to help warm them up, and ordered the dishes again.

Oda hurried to talk to the master, the birthday bag must be the first to bring it. "Minister Lin, I heard that you went home a few days ago? Well, Comrade Lin Qingsong is okay."

Lin Qingbai was being complained by Xu Nannan. He was so interrupted, and he was relieved, "I will graduate soon. I am going to stay in Beijing and work at that time."

Hearing this answer, Oda's face was full of loss, as if his dream was broken.

When the little girl left, Xu Nannan said, "Oh, you have done evil, and it has broken a young girl's heart."

Then he looked at Lin Qingbai again, it was not a peace either. It didn't provoke people before, and there are girls who are worried about it.

Neither of these brothers is easy.

Lin Qingbai looked at her faintly resentful eyes, and quickly averted her gaze, pretending not to see it.

When I go home, I am full and hungry without my first birthday. Xu Nannan took a bite of the birthday bag, and all the others went into Serin Qingbo's mouth.

According to her statement, Lin Qingbai was delighted.

As a result, as soon as she got home, Grandma Yu brought her a birthday bag, which was about the same size as Lin Qingbai had prepared for her.

"If you didn't know that Xiaolin would celebrate your birthday today, I wouldn't let you spend it outside. This birthday bag is worth eating. I deliberately went to find some white noodles from a few families. It was blessed by a few families. ."

Seeing grandma Yu's caring face, Xu Nannan pursed her mouth and smiled, and then ate the shoubao cleanly in front of the old lady.

Touching his bulging belly and lying on the bed, Xu Nannan felt that if he died, he might be regarded as a model for publicity.

Look, who said that there is a shortage of food, a little comrade was struggling to eat fine food.

Can't sleep in the middle of the night, and find that Xiao Man is not asleep either.

"Xiaoman, why don't you sleep?"

"Sister, I'm fine,"

"Worry about the exam? It's okay. It doesn't matter if the exam is not good. Let's let it go." Xiaoman's grades have always been very good. The child's qualifications are not particularly good. The key is a good learning attitude. Xu Nannan worried that she was under pressure.

"sister…"

"Ok?"

"...I slept." Then there was no sound.

Xu Nannan glanced at her, and the child really went to sleep with his eyes closed. It seems that the pressure is too great.

Because of a wonderful birthday, Xu Nannan's mood has been very good.

The performance tasks arranged by the office are not so repellent. In the past few days, she was not allowed to work in the department, so she did it exclusively.

Xu Nannan pondered for a long time, and decided not to make a choice. Don't be provocative, don't be ashamed, just behave in general.

Ahem... The point is that she feels that she doesn't have the ability to stand out, and it is already very hard to be able to not be ashamed.

Dancing is definitely not good, you still have to sing. She doesn't know how to sing, but she remembers the songs on the Golden Mountain in Beijing, the Liuyang River, and the Field of Hope. But these can't be sung. I can only ask Director Zhu. Hearing from Zhu Fang, Director Zhu is famous for singing and dancing. He was also a flower in the mine back then.

"Of course we have to sing the song of the motherland." Director Zhu said passionately.

She is now too old to be on stage anymore. It is rare that she can still get the recognition of the little girl and feel that she is ten years younger again.

Xu Nannan said, "What song?"

"A big river with waves and wide wind blowing the fragrance of rice and flowers on both sides..." Director Zhu directly sang a song, and the entire women's federation office sang along.

Everyone is passionate, their eyes are golden, and their eyes are full of yearning for life... "I have an idea." When everyone finished singing, Xu Nannan said seriously.

"What do you think?" Director Zhu smiled.

"Let's organize the people in the mine to sing together. The three generations of the old, middle and young people are called, let's form a chorus." Those who have grown old should not be forgotten. They are the first cornerstone of building the motherland.

Director Zhu was all over his face, "Can it be done? Many people can't get a fart even if they go down with a stick."

"Chorus, when there are too many people, stage fright will disappear. Tell them, the most important thing is to participate."

Director Zhu felt most emotional, because he was worried that he would not be elected, or because he felt that he was not young anymore, many people would not even dare to report his name.

"Nan Nan, otherwise, this is your show, I will help you to contact you privately, and you will lead everyone to sing when you turn back."

"Okay, as long as there are people." Xu Nannan nodded unreasonably.

Director Zhu showed unusual enthusiasm for this matter. In the afternoon, he went directly to the mine to contact the masters. The young man didn't worry about it, but she was afraid that these masters would not be willing to be on stage.

Xu Nannan went back and told Section Chief Xiao the news.

Section Chief Xiao didn't expect Xu Nannan to come out with such a show. Ordinary young people who don't want to be in the limelight, if a person sings or dances on it, the eyes under the stage belong to them alone. Who would be like this little girl, pulling a group of old and young men's aunts and sister-in-laws abruptly.

This is also ideological enlightenment, and it is also calming.

"Okay, that's how it is done, but Nannan... can I go there," Xiao Ke said in a long-term Ai Ai.

Sister Liu raised her hand, "There is still me."

Xiao Zhang said, "I want to go too."

Li Weiming looked at everyone, "My wife and I are applauding you in the audience."

Xu Nannan grinned, "Let's all go!"

Xu Nannan's plan to find someone to join in the chorus soon spread in the mine.

Many old workers were watching in secret.

Xu Meizi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the news. After she knew that Xu Nannan was going to participate, she was still a little stressed, worried that she would be beaten by Xu Nannan.

I don't worry about it anymore. This show is good, and that is everyone's credit. No, that's also Xu Nannan's idea. Regardless of whether the show is good or not, Xu Nannan can't be better than her.

Xu Nannan doesn't care what others think. Anyway, she didn't even think about winning or competing for ranking. Just take everyone happy, even if you can’t go to the province in the end, it’s okay, just treat it as a lively New Year.

Fortunately, the response to this incident in the mine was pretty good. Director Zhu went to find someone and was basically willing to participate. Cantata, a bunch of people singing together, what's not to dare.

Thirty people were recruited very quickly. According to Xu Nannan, there are ten old, middle-aged and young people. Some elderly people are still retired workers in the mining area.

I wanted to find more people, but unfortunately I was busy at the end of the year, so I couldn't find too many people.

When all the people were found, Xu Nannan began to rehearse. The song is still my homeland. It is wisest to sing about the motherland anyway.

So after eating at noon every day, there was a loud singing in the union meeting room every day.

It's like midday music. Many people sang along while washing the dishes.

Mine manager Gao and mine manager Li walked all the way, listening to the workers humming and laughing, "It's been a long time since the mine has been so busy. That little comrade is quite capable of tossing."

Li Chengwen feels that you are honored, "The key is to have a heart. This is that music alone is not as good as everyone's music. I originally wanted to make a chorus on the front line, but she did it in advance. This is a deliberate effort. ."

Manager Gao said with a smile, "This comrade hasn't joined the party yet, that's not okay. As an advanced employee, who usually performs well and is a young backbone, he must actively join the party."

"Then turn around and let Xiao Zhu talk to her and write an application to join the party." Li Chengwen echoed.

After more than half a month of training, the training was finally completed when the first snow fell.

Taking advantage of the weekend, the mining area deliberately organizes registered workers to conduct exhibition competitions. The judges are the leaders of the mining area, and the worker representatives below vote. The performance is in the union meeting room.

There are quite a lot of people performing this time, and there are various songs, including single chorus, double chorus, and waist drums, Yangko twisters... Xu Meizi sang a folk song.

The lyrics are simple, with a tactful tone, which is quite suitable for her voice.

Xu Nannan also thought it was pretty good.

Finally, it was Xu Nannan's chorus to play. As soon as almost everyone appeared on the stage, there was fierce applause from the audience.

The faces of those who came to the stage before suddenly stiffened.

This... With so many people, those who voted below will know more or less, and won’t get the highest number of votes by then.

Even Xu Meizi, who was waiting to see Xu Nannan's jokes before, couldn't help but smoke. She said, how could Xu Nannan do thankless things. It turned out to be holding such thoughts, which is really shameless.

Soon, everyone realized that, apart from other considerations, the feeling that chorus brings to people is indeed different. The shock of the appearance, and when singing, the voice is loud and shocking, and it is just the momentum, and the victory is over.

As for the singing, nobody really paid attention.

In fact, I've heard chorus before, but like Xu Nannan, who deliberately selected representatives of different ages, arranged positions, and made up gestures, it was a bit special.

The key is to make sense. The singing of the three generations also represents the aspirations of everyone.

The mine leaders have also seen this. They really don't care if they sing well or not. The key is to drive the atmosphere and make sense. Reflects positive ideological progress.

On the next day, on the publicity column, there was a list of shows to perform in the provincial capital, and Xu Nannan's show appeared on it. There is also a waist drum, a two-person chorus, and Xu Meizi's folk songs.

"Brother Lin, can you accompany me to the provincial capital then?"

Xu Nannan excitedly told Lin Qingbai about this matter. She thought this was completely unexpected, but also quite pleasant. If she is performing the show alone, it doesn't feel much. The point is that there are other people. The comrades in the chorus are all happy to be able to participate in the election this time.

Lin Qingbai smiled, "Even if you don't tell me, I have to go. This time, County Mayor Sun and I will go. I thought it was boring, but this time it happened to see our Xiao Nizi show off on stage."

Xu Nannan smiled triumphantly, "It will definitely surprise you."

Lin Qingbai let her scream, "I just can't go with you this time, County Magistrate Sun and I will go there in advance."

Hearing this arrangement, Xu Nannan felt happy. It just so happened that she was also going to go by one day in advance. She has to find Wei Xiaodong to get something. If you are short of money, you have to make money quickly, and then buy information.
