Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 305: Don’t be afraid of being bitten if there are too many lice
Xizi came back from the outside with a runny nose and tears, and she grinned from the corners of her mouth to the roots of her ears.

Not to mention how sad it is.

"Humph~~"

Xizi looked at him and snorted, then fell forward and continued to cry silently.

Yang Xiaole watched this scene happily.

Then he came over and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Do you feel wronged?"

His answer was a silent sob.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xiaole grabbed his ear and asked him to get up: "Get up, let me ask you something."

"Ugh, you're still twisting me!!"

Xizi felt even more aggrieved now.

But it seems like I can't beat him now.

Yang Xiaole let go and asked him, "Let me ask you, do you know the consequences of being caught reselling supplies now?"

Hearing this, Xizi pouted: "I didn't resell! You can't catch me!"

Yang Xiaole smiled and patted his head: "Let me ask you, there is a shortage of food outside now. It would be great if you can buy all the grain you have into corn flour. What if someone else gets the grain in your hand? Where did you get it? What should you do? "

These words made Xizi stunned for a moment.

Judging from his expression, he probably still doesn't understand.

He continued, "Okay, let me ask you, there are so many children in our family, theoretically there is not enough food to eat."

After all, it is no joke that a half-grown man will live in poverty.

It would be easy for Xizi to kill three ordinary kids by himself.

"Our family doesn't have enough food to eat. If others find out, they ask where our family got so much food. What do you say? Say I went to resell it and got it back? Do you want to send me in?"

Xizi was confused for a while after hearing this.

He knew the fate of Zhao Jianguo across from him.

After hesitating for a long time, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "Xiaobao will not betray me."

Yang Xiaole shook his head, not that he had any objections to Xizi's gang.

It's that this guy does things without thinking, and will be in trouble once others find out.

After all, the two-half-year-old guy often carries things in and out, and sooner or later people will notice it.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "You're not allowed to do it anymore, do you hear me?"

Xizi didn't say anything after hearing this, and then said after a while: "Then Xiaobao's family has nothing to eat, what should we do? I can't watch them starve to death!"

Yang Xiaole thought about it after hearing the words.

Asked: "When did you give them food?"

"Twelfth lunar month 27!"

I did some math in my head and figured out that it had only been a few days since I gave it, so I didn’t need to worry about it during the New Year days.

Then he said: "I will take out the food stamps at home later and give them food stamps instead of food."

Anyway, he would get some food from home from time to time.

He had not calculated the specific amount.

But there are a lot of food stamps at home. Even if you use food stamps to buy some food substitutes, fortunately, the proportion is not large and the price is cheap.

"Really?"

Xizi glanced at him suspiciously.

Seeing his expression, Yang Xiaole couldn't help but give him a headache.

"You will have more brains when doing things in the future. Also, if you do something bad again, I will ask dad to spread your ass. Do you believe it?"

Hearing this, Xizi trembled.

He is a true believer.

The second child is so insidious, I thought I had let him go just now!
I have to learn from him in the future.

Yang Xiaole didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have to put him on the kang and beat him.

The food matter was over just like that, and no one was holding on to it anymore.

Instead of visiting relatives in the afternoon, a few people went skating at the skating rink.

The next morning.

My mother and elder brother went to work, and my father asked for leave and took the whole family to his uncle's house to visit relatives.

This time, Chen Dalin and others did not come.

Only Yang Xiaole’s family is here.

After spending a day at my uncle's house, I had a simple New Year this year and felt deserted.

I also had dinner here before coming back.

When the group returned home, it was already dark.

My mother and eldest brother were sitting in the main room talking.

Seeing a few people coming back, Wang Qiuju said directly: "The boss, Director Chen said that we will go to their house for dinner tomorrow."

Yang Guangzhi was taking off his hat. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean? Why do you want us to go to his house for dinner?"

Halfway through, he looked at his son and was surprised: "Is it the boss's business?"

Wang Qiuju nodded: "Well, it means that he will have a rest tomorrow, Sunday. Then he will call people together and be an old celebrity, and everyone will talk about things together."

Although today is the first day of work, tomorrow happens to be Sunday.

So most of the professions do not work.

There is no such thing as a day off at this time. Many people need to visit relatives and will simply not go to work today. At most, their wages will be deducted.

Some people will go there because it’s not busy and everyone is there chatting.

There is very little work.

You can still get money.

Yang Guangzhi hesitated for a moment: "Isn't this appropriate? Even if we invite people to eat, we are treating them to dinner!"

An old celebrity is also a matchmaker, not necessarily a female matchmaker.

It’s not surprising that Chen Dalin is a celebrity.

But this is all organized by men.

"I think so too! But the boss said it. Director Chen said that it was settled. He also said that Xiaole is his godson, so he will definitely help. Ask him to come over tomorrow."

Yang Xiaole was confused for a while beside him.

motherfucker.

It's like he was marrying a wife.

Yang Guangzhi hesitated for a moment, thinking deeply.

After thinking for a while, he finally nodded: "Okay, since Director Chen has said it, let's go over there tomorrow and take a look and bring something with us later."

Wang Qiuju asked worriedly: "We are from the countryside, and we don't know the rules in this city. Do you want to ask someone?"

She usually inquired about some things, but when things came to a head, she was still a little worried.

"Okay, you go ask Aunt Wang and see what she says."

This is the first time to arrange a life-long event for my son.

After all, it was his parents who made the decisions for him in the past. When he should do what he should do, the celebrity would also make clear arrangements.

Now it was his turn, and he felt more or less unsure.

When Wang Qiuju heard this, she agreed, got up and left.

While thinking, Xizi suddenly spoke: "Dad, sister-in-law is here, where should we stay?"

Yang Guangzhi was stunned by these words.

Yes!

If the negotiations are settled, it is estimated that they will get married in the middle of the year, and housing will be a problem by then.

After all, marriage is not a one-person affair.

Yang Xiaole sat there, warming his hands on the coal stove and said: "Let me tell you! We are different from people in the city. We don't have our own houses. We all rent them. Renting is not the same! Just rent another room. !”

Yang Guangzhi frowned: "How can that be done? This is different from dividing a family!"

The eldest sister and the others watched the others talking and did not interrupt.

The man in the family is the head of the family. Although Yang Xiaole is young, in the eyes of everyone, he is a very independent person.

As for Xizi, a few people just listened.

Mainly the three of them.

Yang Xiaole looked at the silent eldest brother and smiled and said: "Brother, I have no intention of dividing the family! Isn't the house in the backyard always empty after Qu Guohai left? You can just go to the street office and rent it! Let's eat together If you eat, it will be convenient for your mother to take care of her children after she gives birth."

There is just a house over there, which can be used as a bedroom, and everything for eating and other things is here, so it doesn't affect it.

The eldest brother came back to his senses after hearing this and smiled shyly: "I haven't even finished writing these horoscopes yet! Let's talk about it later!"

Yang Guangzhi was smoking there and thinking.

He felt that what Yang Xiaole said was right. The biggest difference between him and the locals was that others had their own houses, or houses arranged by their work units.

And they rent a house.

We all rent a house anyway, but it’s different wherever we rent!

It's just that the rent costs a lot of money every month, and it costs dozens of yuan a year.

At this time, what happened to the eldest brother directly affected the hearts of the entire family.

Yang Xiaole feels that her eldest brother got married too early.

But there is no way. Marriage is relatively early in rural areas. If you are in a rural area, my mother may have started to arrange marriage for the eldest brother the year before last, and she may have gotten married last year.

At my elder brother's age, if you are not married in the countryside, the people behind your back will start talking.

Either there is something wrong with this person, or the family is too poor.

At least there will be someone.

The eldest sister was acting weird for a while, and before she knew it, her eldest brother had reached the age of marriage.

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and asked: "By the way, big brother, what do Ding Ruolan's parents do in Jie Fangqian?"

All this time, he had forgotten to ask about it.

I did cross-examine, but I just asked what the two of them were doing now!

The eldest brother said without thinking: "Her mother used to be in the factory, and she was a member of the printing team. She secretly led people to help us print a lot of leaflets. After Jie Fang, she was responsible for the trade union affairs. His father used to have a family at home. The restaurant was taken away by a partnership, and later I worked as a bookkeeper. After I was released, I went to work as a labor department cadre in a factory."

"Oh!"

Yang Xiaole said softly.

There used to be a restaurant, and that was businessman, which was another problem.

Even if the family fell into decline later, it would be the same.

But he doesn't care so much now.

There are few people around me who will not be troublesome in the future.

Anyway, if there are too many lice, I am not afraid of biting.

Just like it, brother.

Of course, he will protect the family from wind and rain. If he can't stop it, he will take them and run away!

Compared with those troubles, he cared more about this family.

A home that I never had in my previous life.

After staying for a while, Wang Qiuju came back.

Everyone was there listening to each other and Yang Guangzhi talking about their meeting tomorrow.

"Aunt Wang said that although the previous rules are no longer advocated, there still has to be a middle person to bridge the gap, and basic etiquette is still required..."

Then he started talking nonchalantly.

Several children were listening curiously.

If it had been before, there would have been a professional matchmaker on both sides, showing the photos to the two families and telling them about the situation at home.

If everyone agrees, then the matchmaker brings something to hire.

As a betrothal gift, the bride should be given tea, snack boxes, wine, money for her clothes, and other things. .The man and woman don't even need to meet each other. When the time comes, the man can just ask someone to go with the matchmaker to pick up the bride.

Of course, having said that, I have seen most of them before.

At least they know each other.

But now is a new society.

And the two of them can be considered to be in free love.

So there is a celebrity who will take care of this matter and let the parents and the man and woman meet. If they agree, the celebrity will be responsible for contacting them and clarifying the bride price.

But the rest still follows the previous rules, and the gifts that should be given are still required.

Several people also listened with great interest.

Yang Guangzhi thought for a while and said: "Then...should I just bring something to Chen Dalin tomorrow? I don't need anything else? Don't bring anything to the Ding family?"

It would be shameful for someone who is celebrating the Chinese New Year not to bring anything with him.

Wang Qiuju nodded: "Yes, that's what I said. If these two children are willing to go, it depends on whether their parents agree. If they agree, Director Chen will be asked to be the matchmaker and solve the rest of the matter."

Yang Xiaole was there listening.

It sounds simple, but people who are not married don't know.

There is a lot to say here!

Anyway, he has never experienced it. In the past, friends got married. If he wanted to go, he could just go there and pay homage, and all he had to do was eat and drink.

If you don't want to go, just transfer the money and take it down.

The two chatted for a long time, and the others were too sleepy, so they ran to sleep.

But it has been decided that no one else needs to go tomorrow, as long as the two of them take their eldest brother with them.

Of course, Yang Xiaole, who was specially named, also wanted to go.

……

The next morning, I got up early to clean up, and changed all the cotton-padded jackets and coats into a cleaner set.

Carrying two bottles of Erguotou, one can, and two packs of cigarettes.

That's it, it wasn't that bad before.

In the past, I had to bring a pack of brown sugar packed in newspapers, but now I can’t bring brown sugar, so I have to give up.

Special time, special treatment.

Two packs of cigarettes, at this time, was already a month's ration, not too shabby.

After finishing breakfast and packing up, the three of them went out.

As for other people, they naturally do whatever they need to do at home.

Yang Xiaole took the things and put the two of them on the bus, and then he slowly rode to Chen Dalin's house.

About twenty minutes later, when he arrived, Wang Qiuju and Wang Qiuju were already waiting on the platform.

"Why are you riding so slowly?"

Wang Qiuju complained when she saw him coming.

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes: "Mom, do you think I didn't see it? The car just passed by, okay?"

"Really? We've been waiting for a while."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole did not refute.

Waiting is excruciating, and it feels like a long time has passed.

Then he took him and rushed towards Chen Dalin's house.

"Uncle Chen!!"

Yang Xiaole carried the things and entered the courtyard. When he came to the door, he shouted inside.

Hearing the sound, he saw Chen Dalin coming out of the house.

"Uncle Chen, happy New Year, I wish you a happy New Year."

Although I didn't plan to come to Chen Dalin's house during the Chinese New Year, I still came, so I still have to be polite.

The eldest brother also followed behind and said with a smile.

Chen Dalin grinned when he saw this: "Okay, okay!"

Then he saw Yang Guangchun and his wife coming from behind and quickly shook hands: "Guangzhi, happy New Year! Happy New Year to my brothers and sisters!"

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year!"

Yang Guangzhi and the two also smiled and were polite.

"Come on, come in quickly, I didn't expect you to come so early!"

Yang Guangzhi said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'll be late. This is rude! It makes it difficult for you! I have to trouble you for this matter."

"Hey, what's my relationship with your brother? Don't say those polite words!"

Chen Dalin smiled and led people into the house.

Seeing his pregnant wife, he smiled and greeted her: "Daughter-in-law, this is Yang Guangzhi, Guangchun's younger brother, and this is his sister-in-law, Wang Qiuju. This is my lover Zhao Dongmei."

Zhao Dongmei was stunned when she heard this: "Oh, Xiaole's parents! Sit down quickly..."

A few people exchanged pleasantries and sat on the chairs.

Zhao Dongmei made a cup of tea for several people. The tea leaves were not crushed, but normal tea leaves. After all, Lao Chen's level was kept there!
Although the quality is not very good.

It's hard to come by.

After a few people sat down, Zhao Dongmei looked at Yang Xiaogang and said with a smile: "This is your boss, right?"

Wang Qiuju smiled and nodded: "Well, this is the boss of our family. You see, I have to trouble you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dalin looked at the two people and said directly: "Don't be so polite."

While talking, he handed Yang Guangzhi a cigarette.

After Yang Guangzhi took it, he asked: "Brother Chen, what do you think of today's matter?"

Chen Dalin struck a match, lit cigarettes for the two of them, and then said: "Xiaogang came to me that day and told me everything. I know the cause and effect. Don't worry about this. I'll take care of the rest." I can’t guarantee it, but as long as I, Chen Dalin, can talk to me in the factory, Xiaogang will not be sent back.”

Then he glanced at the two people who were nodding lightly, and said: "The two little guys also see each other, but I can't force you to do anything! I will try my best to talk in the middle."

Yang Guangzhi thanked him and pondered there.

Yang Xiaole watched from the side, and he knew in his heart that his father was still somewhat resistant to his eldest brother and Ding Ruolan being together.

After all, it is quite unacceptable in this era for your grandson to have someone else's last name.

Because the eldest brother has sound limbs, is not sick, has no disaster, is not crazy or stupid.

It’s not like he can’t get a wife.

Fortunately, the second grandson has the same surname as the other person. If it were the eldest grandson, that would be impossible.

Moreover, the grandson born in the future will still have his own surname, otherwise he would not do such a thing even if he was beaten to death.

Wang Qiuju was sitting there, chatting with Zhao Dongmei.

"How many more months are there until the birth? Isn't it too early?"

"It's early! I won't give birth in four to five months."

Zhao Dongmei touched her belly lovingly. After so many years, it could be regarded as a seed again.

Over the years, she has been under too much pressure.

An old hen that doesn't lay eggs, this is what she calls herself behind her back, and it's not that she doesn't understand.

But she couldn't tell anyone about her man's situation.

Wang Qiuju has never had this experience, so she naturally doesn't understand the sadness involved, but she also knows that it is impossible to have children at this time.

"Director Chen?"

Before the few people chatted for a while, they heard shouts from outside.

Chen Dalin glanced at Yang Guangzhi: "They are coming."

Then stood up directly.

When Yang Guangzhi's family saw this, they naturally stood up and went out to greet him, at least to the door.

But when I came out, I was surprised to find that Yang Guangchun was following behind.

I saw a middle-aged woman who said with a smile: "Director Chen, happy New Year! This is my lover Ding Shangwei, this is Director Chen, Ding Ruolan, call me!"

While talking, he did not forget to explain to his husband and daughter.

Ding Shangwei saw this and went up to shake hands: "Director Chen, happy New Year."

Ding Ruolan, who was standing next to her, pursed her lips and shouted: "Director Chen, happy New Year, I wish you a happy New Year."

Chen Dalin went over to shake hands with the other party and exchanged greetings: "Director Fang! Director Ding, happy New Year, happy New Year!"

Then he looked at Ding Ruolan with a critical expression: "What do you call Factory Director Chen? Uncle Chen!"

"Hey, Uncle Chen!"

When Ding Ruolan saw this, she immediately changed her words and said with a smile.

Several people had met, and Chen Dalin said to Yang Guangchun who was carrying something next to him: "Why did you come so late! I thought I was going to invite you! I just need you as a cook."

Yang Guangchun chuckled: "The chain of my car is almost broken, I'm afraid I'll be late."

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.

Seeing the expressions of Father Ding and Mother Ding, Chen Danian quickly introduced: "This is Xiaogang's uncle, they are Xiaogang's parents..."

Then they were introduced one by one.

"Hello!"

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year!"

A group of people greeted each other at the door and seemed to know each other.

Chen Dalin recognized him and said quickly: "Come in! It's cold outside!!"

He invited everyone in.

Next, take melon seeds and peanut candies and make tea.

The main hall, which was not very big to begin with, suddenly became lively.

Several grown men smoked cigarettes, filling the room with smoke.

Yang Xiaole sat next to Yang Guangchun, listening to the polite words of several people there, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, why are you here?"

"Your Uncle Chen called me and asked me to come over and save your brother's face!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole chuckled and said in a low voice: "Uncle, it's up to you today! It's not like we don't have big cadres in our family, we are well matched!"

Yang Guangchun glared at him angrily.

Ignore him.

Then joined in the conversation.

"Well, Director Fang, let your Lanlan and Xiaogang go out to play. Young people, please communicate more. Let's chat here for a while. If you come back for lunch at noon, then come back. If you don't come back for dinner, forget it!"

While thinking, Chen Dalin smiled and said to Director Fang.

After hearing this, Director Fang hesitated.

He glanced at his husband and nodded.

Some things are really hard to say in front of children, so it’s better to let the two of them go out.

Seeing this, Wang Qiuju stood up quickly, came over and pulled Yang Xiaogang and said, "Take her out and buy what you need to buy. I'll give you the money and tickets! Don't be reluctant."

I had already guessed that this scene might happen and had already prepared it in the morning.

I brought a copy of all the bills at home.

Yang Xiaogang nodded: "Then... uncle and aunt, let's go out first!"

"Okay, let's go!"

After receiving the answer, the eldest brother looked at Ding Ruolan next to him.

The two went out together.

Yang Xiaole looked at the adults in the room, feeling confused for a while.

They've all run away, why is he here alone?

Smell secondhand smoke?
However, he still didn't ask to leave, wanting to hear what was said next.

If it doesn't work, pull it down!
