Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 166 Being Urged to Marry Every Spring Festival
At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, He Ping drank in a daze. At night, there were intermittent sounds of cannon shooting outside. At ten o'clock or eleven o'clock in the evening, the cannonball sound reached its climax, and He Ping muttered in his dream: "Who the hell set off cannons in my chicken farm, I can't kill you if you stop laying eggs."

He slept until the morning of the first day of the new year. He woke up from the kang rubbing his head. The father and son ate the leftovers from yesterday. He Ping remembered the sound of the cannons last night and asked Xiao Zhuer: "Did you let go last night?" A lot of shots?"

Xiao Zhu'er pawed at the rice, nodded, "much older."

"These bastards have two dollars to burn. The chickens must not be laying eggs these two days." He Ping hated it in his heart. It was like this last year. At a very low level, it took a few days to recover.

Today is the first day of the new year. After dinner, the father and son went out to pray for the new year. He Ping returned home and continued to catch up on sleep. He drank a little too much yesterday and felt uncomfortable.

On the second day of the junior high school, He Ping rode a bicycle to Mao Chunhua's house with his belongings.

"He Ping, you are here." Mao Chunhua smiled and opened the door for He Ping.

When he entered the house, he saw Wen Guizhen and Mao Xueshan cooking. He Ping hurriedly said hello: "Happy New Year, uncle and aunt."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, He Ping is here. Chunhua, pick up the things, this kid is really naive, He Ping, sit down first."

When Mao Xueshan and his wife were almost ready to cook the dishes, He Ping took out the gift prepared for the two of them. Mao Xueshan was given a heroic iridium pen for signing, which is what people often call a gold pen in this era; Wen Guizhen was given a brown woolen coat.

"Look at you, what are you spending so much money on?"

Although Wen Guizhen said so, she couldn't hide her smile when she saw the gift from He Ping. It seemed that the mother-in-law was very satisfied with this gift.

Mao Xueshan was not as polite as Wen Guizhen, he stroked the metallic pen in his hand, "This pen is not bad, it must be easy to use, He Ping has a heart."

"As long as you two like it, Chunhua helped the staff." He Ping did not forget to give his girlfriend a little hug.

Wen Guizhen looked at her daughter and nodded slightly, this daughter is still useful, Mao Xueshan was relieved and thought it was his little padded jacket!
How did they know that what Mao Chunhua was thinking at this time was that this heartless person didn't prepare a gift for me.

He Ping Mao Xueshan and Wen Guizhen took out the gift he prepared for Mao Chunhua after serving the dishes, "Don't pinch, don't pinch. Just play with you, don't be angry."

"What is this?" Mao Chunhua held a glasses case in his hand.

"You'll know if you open it and take a look."

He Ping opened the glasses case for her, and Mao Chunhua was pleasantly surprised when he saw what was inside: "Ah! Mike Mirror!"

Mike mirror is a popular name for young people at this time. In fact, it is a toad mirror. At that time, there were very few such things on the market, and most of them came from Xiangjiang or other places abroad, so it was avant-garde and fashionable to wear a pair of toad mirrors on the street at that time.

In this day and age, if you see a person wearing flared trousers, afro-haired hair, and a radio receiver on the street, don't doubt that he is the most beautiful boy on the street.

Mao Chunhua couldn't wait to put on the toad mirror, and asked He Ping enthusiastically: "Look at me, don't you look like Mike?"

The "Mike" in Mao Chunhua's mouth is the protagonist in an American TV series "The Man from the Atlantic" broadcast on TV this year. His name is Mike Harris. He often wears a pair of toad glasses in the TV series.Mike has a sturdy figure and a serious expression. Wearing large light-colored translucent sunglasses, he immediately gained the enthusiastic pursuit of countless young men and women.And the toad mirror worn by Mike has become a fashion item in the hearts of many young people. If anyone has a toad mirror like Mike, it will definitely become the focus and center of people's discussion.

"I don't think you are like Mike, but like Zhang Yu." He Ping boasted that this year's "Love in Lushan Mountain" made the heroine Zhang Yu a well-known female movie star.

Mao Chunhua shyly said: "You have a sweet mouth, I am not as good-looking as Zhang Yu."

"I think you are prettier than Zhang Yu. Her face is too round. How can you look as good-looking as your oval face?"

Mao Chunhua was embarrassed by her boyfriend's praise, and couldn't help but fell into He Ping's arms.

"Ahem!" A cough came from behind, and Mao Chunhua bounced from He Ping's arms like lightning.

He Ping pretended nothing happened, "Uncle and Auntie, let me serve you food."

Wen Guizhen glared at her daughter, the girl didn't know how to be reserved at all.

The food is on the table. Today, in order to welcome He Ping's arrival, Mao Xueshan and his wife prepared at home all morning, which is naturally very rich.

"Uncle, let's have a drink." He Ping took the initiative to pour wine for Mao Xueshan. Seeing this, Mao Chunhua quickly stepped on him and whispered, "Drink less."

"It's okay, don't you know what I measure?" He Ping said indifferently.

Mao Chunhua said in his heart that I didn't feel relieved just because I knew it. Last year, I didn't know who took my dad's hand and called him big brother.

Mao Xueshan said with a smile: "Let's drink less today, drink less."

"That's right, drink less." He Ping took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, and poured himself a full glass of wine under the gaze of his girlfriend's almond eyes.

Mao Xueshan didn't pay much attention to it. In his opinion, there was really nothing wrong with his future son-in-law, except that he could hardly drink and would open his mouth when he spoke occasionally.

After all, no one is perfect, you have to allow for some shortcomings, right?

Weng and son-in-law went down with two glasses of wine, and the atmosphere became warm.

He Ping and Mao Xueshan reported the work results of this year's Hantun chicken farm. Mao Xueshan encouraged him to make persistent efforts and lead the members to new heights.

"That's all right, all right, I said you two don't talk about work matters when you're having dinner." Wen Guizhen interrupted the two of them, and she asked He Ping with meaning: "He Ping, what happened to you?" You will be 26 after the end of the year, right? So fast, you and Chunhua have been together for more than a year."

Chunhua was a little shy when she heard her mother's words, and thought that her mother was really telling the truth, she said it so directly.

Mao Xueshan gave his wife a wink, which means that what are you talking about, when can't you talk about this matter, you have to talk about it at the dinner table.

How could He Ping not understand the meaning of the future mother-in-law? He said seriously: "Uncle, aunt. I have neglected this matter, because I haven't made an appointment with Chunhua, so I didn't tell you two that we are planning to find a date this year. Get married, but this matter has to be agreed by both of you."

When Mao Xueshan and his wife heard He Ping's words, smiles immediately appeared on their faces, and Mao Xueshan said, "We have no objections, as long as you two decide."
