Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

After Xu Gui returned, Xu Nannan divided the meat. She is staying in a dormitory now, and there is no place to put it. There is no place to cook for the time being. One piece was loosened for Zhu Liping, one piece was given by the Guardian, and one piece was given to Grandpa Yu. The rest is taken to the canteen, Master Da Du personally took the spoon and cooked a meal of braised pork.

Everybody's lips are full of oil and water. After eating, I didn't wipe my mouth. When I went out, I said that Xu Nannan's hometown delivered the meat and shared it with everyone. That mouthful of oil envied many people.

Naturally, this matter didn't reach Li Jing's ears.

The sister-in-law Jiao next door was contemplated by Li Jing to go to Xu Nannan, but she was criticized by people in the mine. She is a serious registered permanent residence in the city and has little effect, but her reputation is also affected a bit. Some people often say behind her back. Start this matter. This made her resent Li Jing too.

Knowing that Xu Nannan had given pork to other people to eat, he immediately ran to Li Jing's house to chat about it. The indescribable gloat.

"So, this won't teach children. It's useless to give birth to more children. You don't know how to be filial when you grow up. Your two children have been in the city for so long, and they haven't come to your home. Now that there are good things, I would rather To outsiders, not to you, I can’t count on them in the future. Thanks to your kindness to your nephew and niece, you may be able to support you in the future. It’s a pity that I’m not so convinced. I can only rely on it in the future. Raised by my son and daughter."

Sister-in-law Jiao thinks that she said this is very heart-warming. She has relatives and daughters, but she has to test her nephew and niece to raise her. Unexpectedly, after she finished, Li Jing was not so angry, she just pursed her mouth, "I knew she was a heartless person. Isn't she just a piece of meat? I am not rare. Anyway, I don't expect her to take care of her. , That is, a temporary worker who will go back to the country sooner or later, so I might as well count on my nephew and niece. Both of my nieces will go to high school and technical secondary school in the future, and maybe even a college student will be admitted."

Hearing what Li Jing said, sister-in-law Jiao responded instead.

"Yes, I'm also talking about chicken and duck. Okay, I'll go back and cook for my son and niece. You can cook for your nephew and niece." After speaking, he curled his lips and took the insoles that were still being received. Go home. He muttered, "I really thought that your nephew and niece were supporting you. In these days, your own sons may not be reliable, but you still rely on your nephew."

Li Jing didn't hear this, but she still cares about the fact that Jiao sister-in-law just said that Xu Nannan honored the meat to someone else's family. Thinking about how she had invited Xu Gui to eat so many good foods before, she didn't give her mother a bite. It was obvious that she was really a white-eyed wolf.

I was so angry and thankful that it was because of her that she didn't put her strength on this dead girl at the beginning, or else she would really be stunned to death.

Thinking of what Xu Jiansheng had said before to send his little girl Xu Ling to school, I became more and more disagree with it.

Two big ones are not good things, and this one is definitely not good. Sending her to school, might as well save money to cut a pound of meat every month for the family and let the children eat better.

Xu Jiansheng came back in the evening, and when the two were in the room preparing to go to bed, she deliberately told Xu Nannan about Xu Nannan to Xu Jiansheng.

"We live here, she didn't take the house, she sent it all out. If this is for our family, we can have a few good meals."

"The family is short of money? If you want to eat meat, cut it, thinking about what they are doing?" Xu Jiansheng said impatiently. He is also being pointed out in the mine now. People don’t say it in person, but they don’t say anything behind the back.

Every time Xu Jiansheng heard it, he pretended not to hear it. But I still feel aggrieved.

He had been in the army before, and then came to the mine again. He has always been upright and honest, so that people can't make mistakes. I don't think I'm going back more and more confused now.

So he doesn't want to mention the matter of Xu Nannan at all.

No matter who was right and who was wrong in the past, he was determined to stay the same with the two children in the future and be a stranger.

Seeing that Xu Jiansheng was upset, Li Jing didn't dare to say more. After thinking about it again, she whispered, "Jiansheng, is there any hope for my household registration? This is about to go back to my hometown for the New Year. I'll be careful about my mother's arrival. Time to ask."

Now when she thinks about going home for the New Year, she feels heavy in her heart, and the old lady is staring at it. If you let her know, it would be bad.

"I said, don't think about this. There are not many places in the mine now. Before you...don't mention this in the future. I can still support you." After speaking, he turned over and turned his back to Li Jing. On the side, he fell asleep on his own.

Hearing this, Li Jing's heart sank more and more, and she couldn't sleep for a long time with her eyes closed.

It's finally the end of the year.

There is also a holiday here in the mine. However, there are not many holidays, starting on the 30th of the year, and returning to work in the mine on the fifth day of the day. Some people will be left on duty.

Xu Nannan is going back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year. She is a temporary worker, and this kind of thing is not her turn.

This time she plans to live in the village for a few days. Before leaving, plan to visit Yu Donglai's house.

Xu Nannan hasn't talked to Xiaoman about the house. I want to wait for the registered permanent residence to enter the city in a few years, and we will talk about it when things are done. Yu Donglai also said before letting her live first. Xu Nannan has his own considerations. First, she had only been in the mine for more than two months. She was still a temporary worker, and she had a house all at once, which was too attractive. Secondly, she had to go to night school before, and it was more convenient to live in the dormitory.

This time Xu Nannan also brought Xu Xiaoman with him, only to say that it was a kind person he happened to meet when he entered the city last time.

The two sisters brought gifts to Yu Donglai's home together, which made the old couple very happy.

The two have no relatives anymore, and they feel most deserted when they meet the New Year's Day. Now that two children have come to the house, the family immediately feels popular.

Xu Nannan not only sent supplements this time, but also a little flour. Let them make dumplings during Chinese New Year.

"Come as you come, and bring things. We have eaten the meat last time." Grandma Yu said with a smile. It's not that I am greedy for children, I just value this intention. I think I and my wife are still worried about.

"This is about to celebrate the Chinese New Year. How can I do it empty-handed. Grandma Yu, you can eat so hard, I will always try to get it."

"You still don't want to do this in the future. I can't eat much, but it's not appropriate for you to do this...what if someone knows what to do?" Grandma Yu was a little worried.

Xu Nannan smiled and said, "Now that you and Grandpa Yu are helping me, my big business is gone. I haven't done it. But it's not illegal to take supplements from others and eat them by myself."

Now that the big matter is resolved, Xu Nannan doesn't want to take any risks. She now has a deposit in her hand, which is enough. With Taobao in hand, there is no shortage of food.

When Xu Nannan said so, Grandma Yu felt relieved.

Because the two sisters Xu Nannan are here, Grandma Yu is going to cook a delicious meal by herself. Yu Donglai disagreed and rushed to do it. Xu Nannan said, "I'm good at craftsmanship. Why don't I make something for you to try. I work in the canteen, and I was taught by a famous teacher." She said something interesting.

Grandma Yu said, "You are a guest, how can I let you cook?"

Xu Nannan said sincerely, "You help me and Xiaoman so much. It's not a big deal to make a short meal. If you like to eat in the future, I can do it often."

Whether it is the person who helped her in the past or the person who will help her in the future, she must sincerely repay the other person. Because whether she was once an orphan or later became Xu Nannan, she deeply realized the commendability of these help.

When the closest people abandon her, outsiders can do this, enough to make her remember.

Grandma Yu finally agreed to let Xu Nannan enter the kitchen to cook. Xu Xiaoman also washed the vegetables in the kitchen, leaving the two old men to rest outside.

Grandma Yu looked at the kitchen and said to Dong Lai Dao, "This child is a grateful report. It is much better than some people, and the house is not for her."

"You said, if we tell her and let her be our granddaughter, would she be happy?" Yu Donglai asked.

"It's hard to say, we are old, if we really become our granddaughter, will it not be a burden for others?"

The two have pensions and are not short of money. But if you have money, your health will be bad, and someone will have to wait for you. Ordinary children, who is willing to serve the elderly?

Speaking of this, the two did not continue to talk about the topic. But Xu Nannan did a lot of hard work this time, and the flavors and flavors of a few dishes were delicious.

In this era when braised pork is king, the people are most concerned about the appearance of the dishes, but the size of the meat and the lack of oil and water. Naturally, the dishes made are not exquisite.

The few dishes that Xu Nannan sat on surprised the two bosses of the Yu family. At this age, it is not easy to be able to cook such a first-hand dish. The chef of the state-run restaurant is not at this level.

After a meal, everyone had a great time. Even Grandma Yu ate a whole bowl of rice.

Before leaving, Grandpa Yu took out the fruits and asked the two children to take them back to eat. "Take it, it's also a benefit from the factory. Grandma and I have a bad mouth and can't eat it."

Xu Nannan is not bad for fruit. She has Taobao and can eat all kinds of fruit. But the old man's heart was not good enough to let him down, so he could only continue.

"Sister, Grandma Yu is so kind. She looks good." Xu Xiaoman said suddenly as she walked on the road.

Xu Nannan smiled, "Yes, Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu are both good people."

"Much better than our milk. More like a grandma than our milk." Xu Xiaoman said. Just now, she couldn't help thinking, if only her grandmother was like this.

It's a pity that her milk...

When Xu Nannan heard this, she thought that there were only a handful of people in this world who were not as good as her.

After returning from Yu's home, Xu Nannan went to prepare gifts for the people in his hometown. The main thing is to bring some food for the children to the tiger of Uncle Gensheng's family, and some meat dishes and dried fruits for the family of Aunt Osmanthus Hua. Give stone and wood a bag for each person. In addition, he also prepared gifts for He Qiusheng. Some are bought in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and some are bought in Taobao.

The next day, the two sisters returned to Xujiacun carrying things.

Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman's trip to the city at the beginning was a rare event in Xujiacun. This time the two sisters came back with big bags and small bags, but many people looked straight and knew that the two sisters had mixed up in the city. Otherwise, there is no money to buy these things.

Some people envy and regret it. Song Guihua was protecting the two children at the beginning, and let the family register their household registration, causing many people in the village to joke behind their backs, thinking that she was nosy and asking for trouble. I laughed a lot at the time, but now I regret it a lot. I had known that these two sisters could mix so well now, so I should have stretched out my hand back then. Maybe Nan Nan and the others now have a share of their own.

Xu Nannan brought some thoughts of returning home, both she and Xu Xiaoman wore new clothes. He also pulled a piece of cloth for Song Guihua and Grandma Chen and asked them to make new clothes.

Song Guihua had already known that these two sisters were coming back for the New Year. They had been waiting at home for the past two days, but they were waiting for people to come back. When I saw this big bag, I almost dazzled my eyes.

"You just went to the city. Why did you buy so many things and how much did you have to spend? It is not easy for you to live in the city. Don't spend money like this in the future. You must learn to live."

Although it was bought at home, Song Guihua still feels painful.

How much money has to be spent, and how much food can be bought.

For Song Guihua, nothing can compare with food. Although the autumn grain has come down this year, I can't open my stomach to eat. Especially the two and a half-old boys in their family can eat a lot of food with a little expensive. In order to make the three men eat full, she tried every means to mix wild vegetables and sweet potatoes every day.

If you have money, you can't spend that way. Song Guihua felt that it was necessary for Xu Nannan to learn to save.

"Nannan, you have to learn to save money. You are not young anymore. You should get married in a few years. At that time, if you want to stand firmly at your in-law’s house, you will have to have a dowry and private money. Don’t say anything else, just that. Zhang Cuiqin, who can stand her temperament, you can see how she lived in the old Xu's house. Before being punished, she had a good life. It was not all because of how much she had been with when she was married. The box is here. This is the confidence."

In the era when marriage might only need one generation of sweet potatoes, a few boxes were a very incredible dowry.

Xu Nannan listened to her and smiled happily, "Auntie, it's still early, I'm sure to save money. Besides, I don't spend it like this very often. Isn't it about the Chinese New Year? It's like this once a year, so happy. "

She also knew that Song Guihua had treated her sincerely. She changed other people and wished she would buy more things.

It wasn't her daughter, Song Guihua couldn't say too much. Seeing Xu Nannan listened to it, she didn't say any more.

Xu Nannan gave the cloth to Grandma Chen. Grandma Chen's happy eyes narrowed into a line. She took it to the room and started looking for needles and threads. She said she had nothing to do, and tried to make the clothes. She wore a new one on the first day of the new year. Clothes go out and walk around.

Wood and stones have long been around the table waiting for Xu Nannan to take things out. Seeing that Grandma Chen and Song Guihua both had gifts, they looked at them with eagerness.

After Xu Nannan took out the two diagonally-spanned schoolbags, the two children immediately ran out across their shoulders to show off. By the way, he also pulled Xu Xiaoman out.

"These two brats." Song Guihua scolded with a smile. She was very happy to see her son so happy.

Originally, the food at home was almost ready, but this time Xu Nannan brought fish and meat back. Song Guihua had to make another trick.

Xu Nannan rolled up his sleeves and went to help.

In the kitchen, Song Guihua asked about the last time Xu Gui went to the city. "After your uncle came back and talked to me, I was worried that it might affect your work in the mine. After all, you...Xu Jiansheng worked there for so long, what should I do if you are embarrassed by that time? I also blame your uncle for not being able to Talk. Just make a round."

"Auntie, don't worry, he is not the only leader in the mine, and I am not under his control. It is not easy to embarrass me. Besides, there are still many good people in the mine, and they take care of me. Those comrades in the cafeteria, it's okay. I don't usually do heavy work. You see, I have gained weight." Xu Nannan smiled and touched his fleshy face.

Under normal circumstances, some babies will be fat before the age of eighteen. The original owner was too thin and it was difficult to maintain his body. She was delicious, and she finally became like a sixteen-year-old girl. The face is getting rounder and rounder, and you can pinch the flesh.

Song Guihua smiled, "No, I saw it right after you came back. Going to the city really gained weight. No wonder people say that it is a better place. It seems that it is indeed better than raising people in the village."

As the two of them were talking, Xu Xiaoman suddenly ran back with tears on his face, "Auntie, sister, it's okay, wood and stone are fighting with them."

When Song Guihua and Xu Nannan heard this, they were shocked, and both ran out hurriedly.

On the way, Xu Xiaoman also cried out the cause.

This time the fight was really bad at stone and wood, because the people who fought with them were the two grandsons of the old Xu family, Xu Long and Xu Lei.

Because the two children come back from the city, they are some of the better. Every year when they come back, the children in the village admire them. As a result, today, Stone and Wood suddenly showed off in front of everyone carrying their new schoolbags.

Although Xu Long and Xu Lei stayed in the city, they didn't buy the available schoolbags. Li Jing did it all.

Now that there are new schoolbag backs on stone and wood, and the envy of so many people, I feel a little unbalanced. I heard that Shitou was bought by Xu Nannan, and the two were even more unbalanced. I think Xu Nannan is a lot of people from the old Xu family, their sister, so why did he give it to others? So grab it directly.

Stones and woods are not vegetarian either, and people who are willing to grab their new schoolbags directly start fighting. Seeing that they were fighting, Xiao Man was so scared that he cried, and immediately ran back to look for the adult.

Although the two boys are younger than those of the old Xu family, they have been in the village for a long time and they also have their own partners. When Song Guihua and Xu Nannan arrived, the two children led their friends to beat Xu Long and Xu Lei.

Song Guihua was stunned when he saw Xu Long and Xu Lei being hit on the ground with a group of boys and stones.

Xu Nannan was also stunned.

Xu Xiaoman also forgot to cry.

Fortunately, Song Guihua reacted very quickly, she was shocked, and immediately rushed to let the children disperse. This rescued Xu Long and Xu Lei.

It's just that the two children have suffered a lot on their faces and bodies, and there are still small footprints on their bodies.

Xu Long and Xu Lei got up from the ground, crying and pointing at Song Guihua and the wood and stone, "You wait, I'll go back and tell my milk, you wait!" After speaking, they ran away with their feet.

"Our schoolbag." Stone and Wood hurriedly ran to pick up their schoolbag from the ground, but it was a pity that it was already covered with dust, and it was a little offline.

The two children felt terribly distressed.

Song Guihua was not angry, and she walked over and pinched one ear, "Let you come out and scream, now regret it. Look, people will come to make trouble later, and you can’t let it happen during the Chinese New Year. I'll be safe."

"Aunt Osmanthus, it's not the wood and stone's fault, it was the old Xu family's Xu Lei and Xu Long who caused the trouble first." The two boys' friends quickly defended.

"That's right, we didn't do it first." Stone shouted.

Mu Mu also said, "Mom, we can't let people **** on our heads, let's bear it, my dad said, we will do it when it's time to do it."

"The fight is justified." Song Guihua laughed angrily.

No one wants their children to become fighting hooligans.

Xu Nannan also felt that this matter was not the fault of the two children, and walked over and said, "Auntie, Xiao Man also said that it was those two who did it first. The wood and stone are just for defense, it's okay."

Song Guihua loosened her ears and sighed, "We know this, but the back room will definitely be reluctant. After all, those two boys have injuries on their faces. This is a big Chinese New Year, and I want to have a birthday. It."

Xu Nannan knew that Song Guihua was worried that the old Xu family would make trouble. She also knows Granny Xu's combat effectiveness, and she has to be noisy when she doesn't care. This makes sense, and she can't push her nose on her face.

Looking at the schoolbags in the hands of the two children, she raised her eyebrows, "Auntie, this schoolbag is very expensive. What to do? Don’t pay if you break something?"

She looked at Song Guihua with clear meaning.

Song Guihua was taken aback and looked at the schoolbags in the arms of the two children.

The two children immediately hugged them tightly, worrying about being given an idea. Even if it is dirty, it looks better and more fashionable than the schoolbags of other children in the village.

Song Guihua took a look and retracted her gaze, "Of course I have to pay, if something is broken, it doesn't make sense to go there. I must pay for it."

"Go, let's go to the old Xu's house. Nannan, you and Xiaoman don't go, so they will pull you in when the time comes."

Song Guihua went wrangling, of course she wouldn't go by herself. In addition to bringing her own kid, she went to her mother-in-law Chen Po, and called her own man Xu Gui back. The family went directly to the back of the house.

In the old Xu's house at the back of the house, Mrs. Xu saw the two grandsons running back dirty, her face was still blue and swollen, and she shouted anxiously.

I heard the two children say that the two children of Song Guihua’s family had beaten them, and regardless of whether their grandson was older than the other’s kid, they just went to find someone to settle the account with the crutches.

When I walked to the gate of the yard, I heard the voice of Mrs. Chen cursing.

"You old fellow, you still scolded our family, how did your grandson beat my grandson, you didn't see it." Old lady Xu trembled angrily.

Granny Chen snorted, "You still have the face to say, your grandson is so old, and my grandson can beat them? I want to ask who is with these two children. I don’t see other people have good things. Just grab it. What's the difference between this and the previous mountain king. Our two children went out for a walk with their schoolbags, and they were torn like this when they came back.” She said, removing the dirty schoolbags. Show it to everyone.

"Nan Nan brought it back from the city. It was said that it was bought from a big city by dragging people. We can't buy it in the county. Now it has been ruined like this. What can you say about it. This is what you can buy if you have money. What you don’t know. You’ve spoiled it like this. I also want to ask your old Xu family, how do you plan to pay for it.”

"Er Ya is from our old Xu family. The things she bought belonged to our old Xu family. If it breaks, it will be broken. We don't need to accompany us." Xu old lady said with a grimace.

I was so angry to die. This **** girl has no conscience to buy such expensive things for other people's children, but not for her brother.

When Song Guihua heard this, she was immediately happy, and asked the people watching the excitement next to her, "Listen to everyone, this is really shameless. I said that regardless of the life and death of Sister Nan Nan, she still has a face now. Said that Nannan bought things from their old Xu family. To be counted, when you took Nannan's things, you were put on trial. This is really because the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, the old stealing things, the small robbing Things. Nan Nan did the right thing to transfer the account."

The villagers watching the excitement next to them also held back their laughter when they heard this. Isn't it? This old Xu family is also very bad.

Zhang Cuiqin ran out of the house. I'm sticking in my waist and trying to do it

Song Guihua is not afraid of her, "What's wrong, if I don't care, we will fight. I thought our family was afraid. But Zhang Cuiqin, let alone I didn't remind you, I'm not afraid of fighting, you can't do it. You This is still a person who has been reformed through labor, and it is starting to make trouble now, and I will want you to study again at the opening ceremony of the year."

Hearing the conference, Zhang Cuiqin's momentum suddenly weakened. Feeling angry and afraid to attack. Looking back at the old lady, "Mom..."

The old lady saw that she hadn't done anything yet, so she froze, and suddenly stopped getting angry. He took a stick with a stick, "Go back, something shameful."

Granny Chen took the opportunity to say, "What's wrong, are you paying compensation or not, or else let's go to the cadres and ask what is the crime of stealing things."

"You don't need to hire someone for a small matter." Old man Xu came out of the house with a cigarette stick.

"It can be regarded as someone who can make sense. His sixth uncle, you see that the compensation is still not compensation, we don't want to pay more, anyway, we will make up for it by ourselves, and we can use it if we can. Just give two yuan. ."

"What two yuan, why don't you grab it?" Old lady Xu was suddenly furious.

Mrs. Chen said, "I still have less, Nan Nan said. This schoolbag was bought from a big city. A schoolbag costs six yuan. Do you think it will cost 12 yuan to buy it? Or lose us two. Loss of bucks."

"Grandma, let's buy it back, buy it back." Xu Lei shouted from the side.

Xu Long also pulled Liu Qiao, "Mom, I want a schoolbag."

"Shut up all to me." Old man Xu shouted loudly. As soon as he said, the others dared not say anything.

He took out two yuan from his pocket and handed it to Mrs. Chen, "That's all."

Granny Chen snorted, "We are not unreasonable people. Don't do this next time. If you see good things from others, you will **** them. In the future, anyone in our village will dare to hang around in front of them. Yes. It's still such a foolish act, don't harm our Xujiacun."

After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she led her son, daughter-in-law, and two grandsons to the house straight back.

After a few people left, Old Lady Xu remembered that the wound on her grandson's face hadn't been settled by them.

"I have to make them pay for the medicine." Mrs. Xu was about to go to the Lion to speak. The two dollars have to be doubled to come back, absolutely not let the front house have a good year.

Before he walked out of the yard door, he was stopped by the old man Xu. "What the trouble is for the New Year's Eve. It is really going to be a big trouble, and you are still going to let Lai Longlong and Leizi go to be tried."

Old man Xu was also scared. Last time his wife and daughter-in-law went to get things back, now they are all bad guys, and the tired family is beginning to go downhill. If the two grandsons go the same way, he really has no hope in the future. Up.

Once bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of well ropes, not only the old man, but also the old lady. Hearing what Old Man Xu said, he could only bear it unwillingly.

But when she entered the room and saw Li Jing and Xu Jiansheng, she couldn't help it.

"Jiansheng, give your dad two dollars. If this matter weren't caused by your girl, our family won't have to lose money."

Li Jing said, "Mom, don't we have nothing to do with the child? Why do we have to be responsible." She was afraid of getting into trouble, so she didn't go out, so she pulled Xu Jiansheng and didn't let it out. The old lady didn't let them go.

"You still have the face to say!" Seeing her talking, the old lady was not even more angry. "If it weren't for the two things you gave birth to, our family wouldn't be like this. You are a disaster! , What happened to your household registration? How did I hear that your thing is horrible?"

Li Jing was still a bit wronged when she heard the old lady's accusation in front of her. When she heard the old lady at the back talking about the household registration, she was suddenly struck by lightning.
