Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

Urban housing in this era is in short supply, even compared to the 21st century. Basically, the whole family lives in the same house. Pull a curtain to separate it, and it becomes a private space. A half-year-old child can sleep in a bed, even if it is a very good condition.

Although Xu Jiansheng is a cadre in the mine, his house is not too big. In a two-room house, the small living room can only fit a table.

One room is the master bedroom, with blue checkered sheets and curtains, and a bottle of flowers on the bedside table, which looks very warm. The other room is for the children, two big shops, one for two nephews and one for two nieces. There are also two desks. There are neat school supplies and books on it.

The whole house will make people feel that this family is very happy and the hostess is in good faith.

Xu Xiao looked at the children's room with envy, but he didn't dare to step in, he looked very cramped. Xu Nannan didn't care about anything, and looked at Xu's home and out. I think the two people living in the city are quite moist. What a family that loves each other.

Fortunately, the original owner has never entered the city since he returned to his hometown. Otherwise, seeing this scene, I am afraid that I will faint with anger.

"Nannan, I have something to eat."

Xu Jiansheng came in with two bowls and chopsticks.

Xu Nannan took Xu Xiaoman to sit at the table. Looking at the noodles floating in the bowl, there was no expression on his face.

Xu Jiansheng was a little embarrassed, "Your mother said that there is not enough food at home. I will go out and borrow some money later."

"Dad, how did you live like this in the city." Xu Nannan said directly, looking straight at Xu Jiansheng with big dark eyes, and seeing him embarrassed, did not take his gaze back.

"Do you think we have a good life?" Li Jing frowned and walked in from the outside, followed by a little girl in an old blue flower short coat. The little girl was very thin and looked timid. She looked at Xu Nannan with a look of expectation, but she didn't dare to come close.

Xu Nannan's heart was a little soft, but it was only for a moment. She looked at Li Jing, "Last time Honghong, they came back. I saw that they bought a lot of school supplies. I thought my family had a good life. Since I even ate. It’s all gone, so there’s still money to buy school equipment. I heard it’s a high-end product."

"What's wrong, you are trying to compare with your Honghong sisters. They are scholars, what do you compare with them? Your Honghong sister has a good grades, and is about to take a high school entrance examination, and will be a college student in the future. When she reads it out, It’s a lot of money."

Li Jing said with an upset expression.

"It's up to me whether she has a good grades in school." Xu Nannan grinned.

"Nan Nan, why did you talk to your mother?" Xu Jiansheng also frowned.

He felt wronged by the girl before, so the girl turned her face, and he didn't have any episodes. But the child really became more ignorant, and even talked back to her mother.

"What am I talking about? Dad, you know how long I live at home, and you know why I talk like that. Sister Honghong is studying in the city, taking high school exams, I work at home, I admit it. But why do you want it? Let me marry a fool. I'm only fifteen years old. This is a new society. How can you treat me this way."

Xu Nannan said with tears in his eyes.

Xu Jiansheng choked, he didn't know what to say about this matter. You can't tell the child directly that your milk is wrong. Isn't this disrespect for the elders?

Even if the elder is wrong, just know it in my heart, and can't tell it. Not to mention it to children.

"Cry, cry, what it looks like, let people see it, and think you have suffered some great grievances. I think your milk is right. Life is not good at home, you can live in someone else’s house. Live a good life. That Tiesmith Hu, I have also heard of it when I was at home. He used to help with steelmaking, but now he can help with kitchen knives. There is only one son in the family. Isn't it all yours in the future? Don't you Compared with your sister Hong Hong, they came out of books, you don't know a big Chinese character, and the long one is not that good. You can say that such an in-law’s family is too bad for you."

Li Jingyue said later, her face became more cordial, like a loving mother persuading a rebellious girl.

After speaking, he looked at Xu Jiansheng, "When I first married you, I was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Although Nan Nan is a little bit younger, it’s not too late to meet a good husband’s house. Besides, mom. After all, it's an old man. As children, we must respect her old man's arrangements."

Xu Jiansheng has always had no opinion on family matters. Hearing his wife say this, he was a little moved, and his eyes began to waver when he looked at Xu Nannan.

"Bah!" Xu Nannan stood up directly. "I thought I came to the city to look for you. You can persuade me not to sell me. I didn't expect you to have the same idea as the milk. I'm still not your daughter. Is there anyone who allows her to marry a fool?"

Xu Xiaoman was scared and cried, "If you don't marry a fool, your sister won't marry a fool."

Xu Nannan resolutely said, "If you let me marry someone, I will go to the mine to find a leader. Anyway, I am also a worker's child, and they can't ignore me."

Unexpectedly, the always honest children would dare to make noise in front of their parents. Li Jing looked at the two children in surprise, and then rose in anger, "What's the matter, I still want to shake the sky. Do you still have us as parents in your heart? No wonder Your mother wants to marry you out, you are like this in front of me and your dad, can you still be honest at home?"

Li Jing feels really embarrassed. She is smart and clever to raise two nieces by herself, so how come her daughters have grown up like this.

Fortunately, her daughter was not raised by her, and this is not counted as her.

She waved her hand, "No matter what you say, it's useless, you have to go back anyway. You have to eat quickly, and you will ask your dad to ask for leave to take you back." After a long delay, a lot of money will be wasted. This kid is really ignorant.

Xu Jiansheng looked at Xu Nan Nandao, "Nan Nan, you go home first, and wait for me and your grandmother to have a good talk. I will also go see the situation of that family..."

This is to marry her.

Xu Nannan felt that she and the couple had nothing to say, anyway, when she came, she didn't count on the couple. The attitude of the two of them at the moment was also expected by her.

Only through this time, she knew clearly the virtues of the couple.

Xu Jiansheng is stupid and filial, which is considered a reason, but what on earth does Li Jing think is that he is so cruel to his daughters and daughters. This is unreasonable.

Xu Nannan couldn't figure it out, nor did the original owner figure it out in his memory.

Looking at the stubborn look on Xu Nannan's face, Li Jing felt even more disgust in her heart.

These children were born to kill her!

As a close servant of the landlord lady since childhood, Li Jing felt reluctant to admit his fate in her heart. Why should she be inferior to others. You have to serve people from birth.

When she married Xu Jiansheng, she was because the other party was a soldier, and she felt that she was married and could always get rid of this maid’s life anyway. So she went to Mrs. Xu on her own initiative and married Xu Jiansheng, whose life and death was unknown.

Even God was helping her, Xu Jiansheng came back and became an official. She became the officer's wife, and her status suddenly rose. Regardless of who it is, look at her high.

In her eyes, the identity of the officer's wife is simply her lifeblood. But her own status is not high, and the old lady is increasingly dissatisfied with her. She desperately wants to consolidate her marriage with Xu Jiansheng, so she wants to have a son more and more.

But she didn't expect her first child to be a girl!

After giving birth to a girl, my life in Xu's family is even more sad. Xu Jiansheng returned from another job and worked as a cadre in a mine in the county town. There are many unmarried young women in the mine.

Li Jing complained more and more about this eldest girl, feeling that it was because she was a girl that her current position was unstable. And since she gave birth to the eldest daughter, she has not been pregnant, and began to wonder if she hurt her body when she gave birth to the eldest daughter.

After struggling to spend the most difficult years, she finally got pregnant again, and turned out to be a girl.

Now, not only did the family members have opinions on her, but even the women in the mine began to laugh at her secretly.

Her child was born to shame her!

The shameful child went back to the country, and after changing Honghong and the others, she started to live well. The old lady didn't dare to shake her face at her, and the concubine also wanted to please her with Yan Yue's face, even in the mine. Those people praised her for taking care of her nephew and niece.

No one can compare to her Li Jing's generous and generous treatment.

But now this shameful child is here again, and he will shame her again! Li Jing gritted his teeth bitterly.

Xu Nannan tilted the corner of her mouth, turning a blind eye to her eyes. Who is afraid of whom?

"Auntie, we are back."

Laughter came from outside the door. The girl smiled like a silver bell, obviously in a good mood.

Hearing the sound, the hostility on Li Jing's face was swept away, she immediately stood up with a smile on her face, and walked out, "You are back, how are you at school today? But you have to study hard to have great ability in the future. "The mouth is fully taught.

A few children came in from outside, a green leather schoolbag. The girl at the head is slender, but not short, with straight bangs and two braids. The clothes on her body are neat and tidy, and she looks like a student at first glance. The girl who came in behind had ponytails and a red coat with a slight baby fat on her face. The eyes flickered and looked very bright.

The other two boys kept their heads and their clothes were the same.

After they entered the city, they often went back to their hometown to see the old lady. Xu Nannan naturally knew that the braided girl was Xu Meizi, the daughter of third aunt Liu Qiao, and the ponytail behind was Xu Hong, the daughter of Zhang Cuiqin.

The slightly bigger boy in front is Xu Lei. The small, honest-looking boy who followed was Xu Long.

Seeing the few people coming back, Xu Nannan's expression didn't change at all, but a few people saw Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman coming, and they all showed expressions of surprise.

"Er ya Si ya, what are you doing here. Do you know?" Xu Hong opened his eyes and ran over to stare at the two of them. For a moment, round eyes were a little bit dissatisfied, "Why do you dress like this? When people see it, shouldn't others gossiping about the old lady?"
