Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

"Leaving? Teacher He, you mean you are free?" Xu Nannan said in surprise.

He Qiusheng smiled, "It's not that easy. This is to be managed centrally. I don't even want to give me this little freedom of leisure." Teacher He took a sip of wine.

"..."

Xu Nannan's heart suddenly sank. Now it's obviously not that time, so why are you so strict?

"Teacher He, where are you going?"

"The farm in the northwest, but it's also pretty good. Several of my partners are there. I will have a companion in the future." He Qiusheng happily said in pain.

"Nannan, don't worry about my business. Anyway, I have to live anyway, I don't believe that I can live like this for a lifetime."

"There will be a good day." But there will be more difficult days in the future.

Xu Nannan felt that he would rather not know the future development, so that he could live a day like everyone else, instead of thinking about the difficult days in the future.

He took out the money and tickets from his body and stuffed it into He Qiusheng's pocket.

"Teacher He, you bring all these things on your body, and carry them close to your body. From now on, I can't look at you often like this when I'm far away. Bringing some money with me will always make my life easier."

He Qiusheng stretched out his hand and pushed it away, "What are you doing? Just look at your teacher like this? What kind of life is this little day? I can live by eating chaffy vegetables."

Xu Nannan is more determined than him, "I know you can live any life, but I am your student and want you to live a better life. This is because the tuition fees for me and Xiaoman are good, you have taught us so much. Knowledge, these are priceless."

He said that he stuffed the money and tickets into He Qiusheng's pocket, with a look of pleading.

He Qiusheng looked at her with a pair of eyes and was about to cry, sighed, did not push away anymore. "Nannan, don't worry about me either. It's fine to go there. There will be people talking later."

Xu Nannan nodded, "I will visit you when I travel on business in the future."

Perhaps as Teacher He said, going to the farm is not all bad. At the very least, there are so many like-minded people who can talk, and the days will pass together. And on the farm side, she can also go there occasionally to deliver things. Instead of hiding in the field.

Knowing that He Qiusheng was leaving, Xu Nannan always felt a little uncomfortable. When he got up the next day, his eyes were swollen.

Song Guihua looked a little frightened, "Did you sleep well at night?"

Xu Nannan shook his head, "Xiaoman has gone to the city, I am happy."

"You should be happy. In the future, your sisters will be serious people in the city. They will eat the food." Song Guihua was happy and emotional.

In more than a year, the two children have undergone tremendous changes.

When Xu Nannan saw her in distress, he smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, there will be opportunities for wood and stone in the future."

In three years, wood and stone can always go to junior high school. At this time, the junior high school culture does not necessarily require a junior high school graduation. You can even say you are a junior high school culture after you go out. When the time comes, if wood and stone are to be tested for work, she can also help them with tuition. Even farming at home is not bad, after all, I can live through that period in peace. After that period, the two are not big. As long as the two children are motivated, she can guide them to make money and live a good life.

Xu Nannan didn’t say these words directly. Song Guihua thought Xu Nannan was doing this to make her feel at ease, so she gave her promise and immediately shook her head, “Forget it, just our two little boys, I don’t worry about letting them run outside to go wild. , I have to look under my nose."

This is a bit duplicity. Why don't the mothers want to let their children live well, but Song Guihua can't say that.

It is not easy for these two children.

Xu Nannan didn't say anything either. Before that time, it would be useless to say too much. It's the same in mind anyway. "Auntie, when it's the summer vacation, let the wood and stones go to my place to play. Now that there is a place to live, let them go to the city to play."

Song Guihua didn't refuse this time. "Okay, it's time to let them go to meet the world."

Getting into the car to the city, Xu Nannan found Liu Qiao was also sitting in the car. The small bench that I brought, cats up.

Seeing Xu Nannan getting in the car, her expression moved, as if thinking about talking.

Xu Nannan curled his lips, as if he hadn't seen it.

The car bumped all the way and finally reached the county seat.

After getting off the car, Xu Nannan didn’t plan to go to work in the mine. She had a day off, plus a day off, and she can continue to rest today. Taking advantage of this time, first transfer Xiaoman’s registered permanent residence to her grandfather’s house. .

"Er Ah," not long after Xu Nannan went ahead, Liu Qiao chased him up, looking at Xu Nannan with a good pair of eyes, "Er Ah, you don’t even think about it at all. What a good boy before, now In the blink of an eye, even the ancestors are not recognized."

This is damning. Xu Nannan glanced at her coldly, and walked forward with her mouth pursed.

"Er Ah," Liu Qiao chased him up again, blocking Xu Nannan's way, "Do you think it will be fine after you adopt it? There is no such thing as letting girls stand up for their families in recent years. Whose girls can do it? You have no brothers. If you marry, you will be ruined by your in-laws. See if you have a mother-in-law like your milk. If you don't have a brother, you will be tortured to death by her."

"What do you mean, all the mother-in-laws who co-author can be like old ladies?" Xu Nannan sneered.

Liu Qiao was not angry, and sighed, "You are still young, and you have never seen many mothers-in-laws, just from our village. Which mothers-in-laws don’t talk about their daughter-in-laws. Your milk is pretty light. But just like that, we don’t. Do you have to please the old man to live. You said that if you are bullied in your in-laws in the future, who will give you a head start? Is it Xiaoman? She is more honest than you. Relying on your grandma? They are getting older. Yes, it hasn’t been for many years. Just alive, at such an age, what can you do?"

Xu Nannan looked at her with a smile.

Liu Qiao lowered his eyes, "I'm not going to talk to you anymore, Long Long also called you to my sister, my sister and brother, who broke the bones and the tendons, and I will give you a chance in the future. Let's talk about it. Only then will boys be able to continue their blood, and you don’t want the family you inherited to be wiped out by you and Xiaoman’s generation.”

The words are here, Xu Nannan still doesn't know where she is going. She just thought, if the old lady knew that her daughter-in-law was thinking about adopting her grandson to someone else, she didn't know what her expression would be.

"Are you trying to let Longlong go out? Aren't you afraid that the old lady will look for you desperately?"

"Longlong was born to me. Of course, I can be the master of this matter." The household registration has been moved out. She just wants to split the family, and no one can say anything bad.

"Second, third aunt is for your own good. There is a brother who is better than himself. Longlong is thirteen years old, and he has grown up in two or three years. It doesn't take you to burden me. Your third uncle can also feed him. How cost-effective is that?"

If you don't have to worry about anything, you can have a brother, and you have to rely on in the future. It's really cost-effective. Xu Nannan smiled and shook his head firmly, "Aunt Liu, you surely don’t know, Meizi is not living in her uncle and aunt’s house now. She lives in the single dormitory by herself, and eats in the cafeteria every month. I took the salary by myself. For this matter, I had a fight with her auntie. Think about it, how many years her auntie has raised her, and how kind to her. If you say it doesn’t matter, I don’t care. I don’t want to. I dare to listen to you, otherwise, I don’t know how wronged I am to raise a second plum. And Aunt Liu, before you sell your child, you should teach your child well. You can’t just teach your child. You have to teach you what to do. Be a man."

Liu Qiao's face slowly flushed, and her eyes sharpened.

Hearing Xu Nannan's situation about Xu Meizi again, he knew that the house matter was definitely not going to happen. I suddenly felt a pile of things pressing up, and my heart felt heavy and boring.

Seeing Xu Nannan walking away, she wanted to drag her to curse, and was worried about her son and girl, so she stomped her feet, gritted her teeth and cursed, "Something that kills a thousand knives will have you beautiful sooner or later. ."

When Xu Nannan returned home, the first thing he did was to find Yu Donglai to give Xu Xiaoman an account.

Yu Donglai has been at home waiting for Xu Nannan's return. The old lady couldn't wait to urge him to see if Xu Nannan was back. Yu Donglai went to the house and saw it several times.

Now I finally saw Xu Nannan, and Yu Donglai immediately took Xu Nannan to the registered permanent residence.

From now on, Xu Xiaoman will be called Yu Xiaoman.

"If you are not used to it, you should still call as before, and the account is correct." Yu Donglai worried that the two children would not be used to it, so let's just call as before.

Xiaoman came back for dinner at noon, read the household registration book, and sniffed vigorously.

"Master, grandma" she said shyly.

"Oh." The two old men responded in a good voice. Grandma Yu kept wiping tears again. Only then can I really believe that I have a granddaughter in my family.

After the meal, Grandma Yu urged Xu Nannan to go and transfer her registered permanent residence. However, there is no need to change the relationship between food, just in the mine, and then eat the canteen in the mine at noon, and run on both sides of the province. Anyway, the bite is not bad at home. She and Lao Yu retired as dual employees, and they had enough wages and food. They were older and could not eat much, so they could still subsidize their granddaughter.

Xu Nannan also planned to do it tomorrow when he went to work. Seeing that the old couple was so anxious, he obeyed the two of them and sent Xu Xiaoman to school for a change of residence.

She herself has a registered permanent residence in the city. Now that some streets are willing to accept her registered permanent residence, it is much more convenient to transfer than Xiaoman.

The only inconvenience is the need to change the surname. She used to study in a technical secondary school, and later when she took the exam for work, the file was all with this name, and it took a lot of trouble to change it.

Knowing this, Zhu Liping took her to the Personnel Department and the Mining Committee for a walk, and was stunned to get the matter done.

After completing the formalities, someone who knew about the mining committee asked her why she changed her surname.

Xu Nannan did not hide the matter from the people in the mine. She didn't feel ashamed of this kind of thing, nor did she feel guilty, and there was no need to hide it from others. Hidden and tucked, it seemed to be a guilty conscience.

"I don’t change my surname, I still keep it for the New Year. Last time Nan Nan was hungry and fainted. The parents didn’t feel distressed, and they forced the children to ask for a house. Those raised by others don’t care, Nan Nan still has to take care of it. We are not the old society anymore. If you didn't say your parents must be right."

Zhu Liping said sternly.

Others are also embarrassed. But after all, some people still think that Xu Nannan's adoption is a bit too terrific. After all, they are relatives.

Xu Nannan didn't bother to explain to these people. She is not a food stamp, can everyone like it?

"Then am I going to call you Yu Nannan?" Zhu Fang said awkwardly, touching his chin.

"You can call it whatever you want." Xu Nannan didn't care. Anyway, this Xu is not from the old Xu family. It was her last name in her life. As for changing the account to Yu, it also gives the old couple peace of mind.

Regarding the last name, she didn't think it mattered, but the key was her mentality. If you have no conscience in your heart, neither the surname of the Emperor Lao Tzu will be useful.

After such a delay, Xu Nannan was about to get off work again. Xu Nannan simply went out to buy some melon seeds and fruit candies, and distributed them to the comrades in the Purchasing Section and the Mining Committee. It was also a happy event.

Xu Jiansheng knew the news from the mining committee. I went to the leaders of the mining committee to discuss the distribution of food. I saw that the people in the mining committee were eating, and they talked about Nannan.

After saying that, you can't call Xiao Xu, you must call less than.

What Xu Jiansheng heard was that Li Chengwen called him into the office. The first sentence was, "Comrade Xu Nannan, I hope you will not affect your work."

Xu Jiansheng was a little confused, "What's the matter?"

"You don't know?" Li Chengwen felt a little embarrassed now. He thought Xu Jiansheng knew about such a big matter, and worried that Xu Jiansheng would go to Xu Nannan to settle the accounts, so he would do some ideological work for him in advance.

After all, they are students of their own teachers, and they are considered to be their own little sisters. If you can't take care of it on the bright side, you can still help it in private. It turned out to be unfavorable.

He picked up the enamel cup, took a sip of tea, and cleared his throat. "Comrade Xu Nannan, oh, it should be called Comrade Yu Nannan now. She just came over to complete the procedures for the transfer of household registration, and she arrived at the neighborhood committee on Jianshe Road."

Xu Jiansheng heard the point, "What is Nannan?"

"Comrade Xu Nannan said that she adopted a family named Yu. It is an old couple. Later they will call others to call grandparents. But we are not called adoptive now, this is called adoption."

Li Chengwen tried his best to make this matter more reasonable.

As a result, Xu Jiansheng was even more excited when he heard it, "What adoption? They are not orphans. Her mother and I are still there."

He squeezed his palms into fists and his joints creaked. "I haven't heard that parents are still there, and they can still go to other people's homes."

"Ahem, we don’t know this. After all, her account is accepted. We just transferred out of the account. By the way, write a certificate to prove that we have such a comrade here. As for the name of their account at that time, That is their freedom."

Seeing Xu Jiansheng's way of eating people, Li Chengwen pursed his mouth, thinking that he shouldn't say too much, "Director Xu, I have something to do, should you go ahead? In fact, this kind of thing is also possible. Nothing. This is not the first case in our mine."

Xu Jiansheng couldn't hear anything, his head buzzed.

He only knows one thing. His daughter will not be his daughter from now on. It's really not anymore. From now on she will be someone else's daughter. The surname has also been changed, and the household registration has also been changed.

Regardless of whether she recognizes him as a dad, she will have nothing to do with him in the future.

Walking aimlessly on the mine, I didn't see anyone saying hello. Suddenly I walked to the entrance of the mine and saw the Guardian soldiers chatting with people.

I remembered the first time my daughter came to the city to look for him.

A big girl, dressed in tatters, with a dirty face, was crying to save her.

When I returned home, I kept quarreling with Li Jing.

Oh, maybe Li Jing had trouble with her.

Anyway, it was a trouble.

He was a little unhappy at the time. I feel that my wife is going to be peaceful, so why should I make trouble?

Isn't it good to stay in the village honestly? There are so many young girls in the village who have never seen anything bad.

Said her milk wanted her to marry. He was also a little anxious in his heart, worried that his mother would really marry such a small girl. Although he was shaken by Li Jing later, he still followed back, didn't he let her marry?

What happened later? Why did the child treat him as an enemy when they met for the second time?

Xu Jiansheng thought hard in his head, but he didn't even figure out why he and his daughter took such a step.

All these years have been good. I also knew that something went wrong and came to him, the dad's for help, and knew that he was acting like a baby. I also know to protect him in front of the old lady. Why did it change?

"Old Xu, why are you here? No wonder I can't find you for a long time." Li Jing looked for it from the mine, and looked at Xu Jiansheng looking forward with blank eyes, and suddenly became anxious, "You What's wrong, I still have important things to discuss with you, what's wrong with you."

Xu Jiansheng glanced at her, didn't say a word, followed behind and walked home.

Li Jing saw that his eyes were moving, and knew that he was okay, so she was relieved, and talked about what happened just now.

"Liu Qiao is here, saying that she's here to tell us about Nan Nan's adoption. Hmph, I think she came to see our house 80% of the time, and she said so nicely. I didn't care about her daughter's affairs with her. It's troublesome, she started to complain that I don't know how to teach a girl. If you want me to say, that girl will adopt and adopt, and she won't be filial to us in the future. I asked her to cry that day, and she was cruel to stop me She lives together, so what can a child like this do, it’s because we didn’t keep her with her, or else I’m so angry now. I’m fed up with a plum."

Xu Jiansheng didn't speak, so he stared at her in a daze.

Li Jing continued, "But that girl also thinks well, thinking that she can be adopted, and she doesn't want to think about who gave birth to her. When she sees her life is better, she goes to be a grandson for someone else. Anyone with a conscience will have to. I can’t tolerate her. When she finds her husband’s house in the future, I have to talk to her husband’s house."

Although I just said that Xu Nannan's adoption was not a big deal, I still couldn't swallow this breath in my heart. I stayed in her stomach for more than nine months. After eating her milk, I still want to really ignore her. There is no such good thing in this world.

When she gets older, when the dead girl gets married, she has more scruples, and the bill is settled slowly.

When he arrived at the single dormitory of the branch, Liu Qiao was sitting in the room and talking to his son Xu Longlong. When the couple came back, his face became stern.

"Big brother, I don’t want to say anything, but it’s really hard to explain to the old lady this time. I haven’t got other houses, and my house is gone. Isn’t this the more you live, the more you go back? I didn’t say it, my sister-in-law. It's really confused. There is also Sanya's thing. I can see all the wounds on her face. Sister-in-law's action is too cruel. The children told me that they moved out to make room for the family so that you can live. It’s spacious, but the sister-in-law ran over to make trouble with the child, making her faceless in the mine, and she did it. I feel distressed when I look at it as a mother-in-law..."

Li Jing was very angry, and it was not easy to quarrel with Liu Qiao.

This third wife is a celebrity next to the old lady, and with her words, she can make herself go back to her hometown and go farming.

If it wasn't the third wife, she would have stayed in the country.

She was a bit regretful when she beat Xu Meizi that day. It's not that I feel distressed, but I feel that this matter is a bit unmanageable. It's easy to offend my hometown.

She didn't dare to argue with Liu Qiao, Li Jing pulled Xu Jiansheng and motioned for him to speak.

Xu Jiansheng lit a cigarette. "The house is the same thing. As you can see, it's a place with such a big slap, but it was only distributed to the mine for convenience. How many people want it but can't get it. Besides, didn’t you come to persuade me about this matter? Let me think about it for my family. I have to listen to Li Jing’s opinion. I listened, listened to her as it was. I just listened to what she wanted to do. You Look, this is the result."

"Old Xu, why can you blame me for this?" When Li Jing heard that Xu Jiansheng was in front of Liu Qiao, she pushed the matter directly on her, her eyes flushed with excitement.

Own man doesn't defend himself at this time, and pushes himself out. This is to let the old lady rectify her.

Liu Qiao didn't expect Xu Jiansheng to say that. All of a sudden, she and Li Jing were blamed.

For a while, Liu Qiao didn't know what to say, so Liu Qiao simply refused to answer. Anyway, when I went back to my hometown, what should I say, it was not a matter of her mouth.

"What about Sanya, what does the eldest brother think. This kid is sincere to you."

Xu Jiansheng did not answer. He saw Xu Ling squatting outside on the ground writing and drawing, and beckoned her to come over, "Lingzi, come over."

When Xu Ling heard the words, she raised her head and glanced at the three people who were not very pretty. She was a little bit frustrated, and she didn't dare not pass, she moved her calf and walked over.

Xu Jiansheng looked at his daughter and asked, "Lingzi, your sister Mei will no longer raise your mother, do you care about your mother?"

Xu Ling was taken aback, looked at the ugly faces of Liu Qiao and Li Jing, and blinked her eyes, "I know how to care, I was born and raised by my mother."

"Then you blame Sister Mei?" Xu Jiansheng asked.

"No wonder, she was not born to my mother."

Xu Ling pouted.

Xu Jiansheng patted her head and asked her to play. She ran away immediately.

Liu Qiao's lips trembled, and he said in air, "Brother, what do you mean, don't care if you are not a dear. Sanya is not yours, but you also raised it by your side. We all know about this. She said that she would raise her in the future, and that means she will raise her. She just came out to work now and didn’t make money, and she doesn’t want to drag you down.

Xu Jiansheng said sternly, "I didn't blame Meizi, I just let you know that Lingzi understands the truth, can I still not understand? I raise her and don't expect her to support me. She doesn't care about this family. opinion.

His loud voice shocked Liu Qiao and Li Jing.

Li Jing clutched her heart and said, "Old Xu, what are you doing, we have been raising plums for so long, so how can she say that she doesn't care about it." Isn't that for nothing?

Xu Jiansheng ignored her and stood up and said to Liu Qiao, "You will tell the old lady when you go back that even if this house is small, I will keep the other three things that should be raised. I will keep them for school. Meizi has not read anymore. Xiaoling doesn't have to go back to her hometown anymore, I am Xu Jiansheng's daughter, I raise it myself!"

After speaking, strode out.

"Old Xu, where are you going?" Li Jing hurried to catch up.

Liu Qiao sat in the room and watched, his heart was in a mess.

Brother, this is alienated from the family...

Xu Meizi heard the movement and knew that Xu Jiansheng and Li Jing had left, so she ran over to find Liu Qiao, "Mom, what's the matter, what do you mean by this uncle?"

Liu Qiao shook his head, "Sanya, your uncle will not be able to count on in the future, and you can find a point by yourself. Look at Longlong here, and let him become a talent."

Xu Meizi lowered her eyelids, "Mom, you don't need to explain this matter, I will take care of Longlong."

"I can rest assured that you do things, but you are really impulsive this time. Even if you want to move, you have to discuss it with your uncle and aunt. No matter what you say this time, it must be eccentric. They won't be in the future. Treat you like before."

"Mom, I can't help it. The auntie's temperament wants to tie us to the waistband. I mean she will not let me come out if I break my mouth. If I don't take advantage of this opportunity to come out, she won't be able to come out in the future. Do you take money from me to get food? I don’t have a problem with raising dragons, but I don’t like raising Daya and Leizi."

Hearing what her daughter said, Liu Qiao felt that it was the same reason, and she couldn't let her daughter use the money and food to raise other people's children.

To put it ugly, her mother has not eaten a bite of her filial piety.

"Forget it, you can live with peace of mind, I will go back early tomorrow morning. I can't stay here anymore." Liu Qiao thoughtfully said.

Xu Nannan didn't know that her change of residence had made the old Xu family so lively.

After transferring her household registration, Yu Donglai took her directly to the sub-district office and settled down.

Naturally, it is too late to treat guests to dinner, but if you are officially a family, you should also celebrate.

In Xu Nannan's room here, Xu Nannan personally cooks three dishes and one soup.

Potato stew, mapo tofu, steamed fish, and an egg drop soup.

This is a high standard. Even if the leaders went to a big restaurant for dinner, they didn't order this standard.

Xu Nannan didn't care about it. How could such a big matter be solved with a single meal of dumplings. It's rare to eat a big meal openly, you must eat well.
