Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 417: If I can’t be big, I’ll be small
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the temple fair, which had been restored for two years, ushered in the most lively and most regulated one.

Here, as long as you have money, you can buy all kinds of snacks in Sijiucheng.

You can see busking, juggling, and shadow puppets. As long as they existed at that time, most of them can be seen in several temple fairs.

On this day, the Yang family all went to the temple fair for the last time.

The next time is to visit relatives as before.

On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, after the relatives had left, Yang Xiaole took his things and went to Suo Ye's place.

When we arrived at the place, the old man was practicing kung fu in the yard!

"Master! Are you alone? Where are the second brother and the others?"

Yang Xiaole saw the other party and greeted him with a smile.

The old man ignored him. After finishing the punch, he said, "I'm going back. I left in the third grade of junior high school."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole clicked his tongue and already guessed it: "You said you are serious. Your son is here to pick you up and reunite with you. Why bother if you have to stay here?"

He saw the old man glare at him.

Yang Xiaole laughed and said, "Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

By the way, the old man doesn’t know if he drank too much water from the well, or what happened?
In the past few years, one-third of the hair that turned gray has returned to black.

And my father and mother now look at least ten years younger than before.

Wang Qiuju and others thought they had been raised by wind and sun in the past and after coming to the city.

Looking at the old man's appearance, Yang Xiaole brought the things into the house with a smile.

Then he came out: "Master, come and help me!"

After hearing this, the old man agreed with a smile: "Okay, let's see if you are lazy in the end."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded: "Then you have to be careful! I won't hurt you if I accidentally do it."

He smiled and exchanged moves with the old man.

After punching for a while, both of them stopped sweating.

The old man stopped his work and nodded to him: "Well, not bad, there is progress."

Yang Xiaole rubbed his body. It had to be said that the old man's body had recovered too much now, so this attack was quite cruel.

The old man's Kung Fu is not just a showy thing used to train the body.

But it is a move that is really used to beat people.

Because the current martial arts have been re-edited since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and those that are not suitable for practice have been deleted.

Also because of need.

Now it has really become a way to keep fit.

The old man rolled his eyes: "Go cook!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole put on the cotton-padded jacket hanging by the side with a smile and went to the kitchen.

"Hey, Master, what's going on with my second brother in Singapore? I didn't have the nerve to ask that day!"

When the old man heard this, his face turned ugly.

"There are a few bad guys who have their tails raised to the sky."

Even so, he still stated the situation.

With the money he sent last time, Cao Zhongxuan started a small business. In the past few years, he had some money and started export trade.

It's not very big, but it still makes a little money.

How much it cost, the old man didn't say.

Yang Xiaole also felt that it was not too big.

Because if you reach a certain level, you won't be as superficial as the nouveau riche.

The two chatted for a while.

However, Suo Ye's words made Yang Xiaole think about it.

Now Hua Yourong's father is a school teacher. After all, he went abroad once before and came back not long ago. He has not gone through so many years of edification.

There is still some vigilance.

Something didn't feel right.

I have the idea of ​​going to Hong Kong Island.

Then he asked: "Master, when will they leave?"

The old man said as he added more. "I don't know. I just said it, but I'm not very clear about the details. I guess I haven't decided yet!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded.

Dance the shovel in your hand and cook there.

The reason why he cooks is because the taste of the old man's cooking is really unflattering.

I guess he was used to being pampered in the past, or maybe he just didn't have the talent.

It's edible, but not delicious.

At noon, he had dinner at the old man's house and chatted for a while before he went to Hua Yourong's house.

Two bottles of wine and a pack of cigarettes.

I didn’t prepare much.

The door was knocked open, and it was Hua Yourong who opened the door.

When the other party saw him, he smiled and said, "How can I wish someone a happy New Year in the afternoon?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "I'm still at home waiting for you to wish me New Year's greetings!"

"Humph!"

Hua Yourong snorted, closed the door, and followed the others in.

"Uncle, auntie, happy New Year!"

Father Hua was reading the newspaper, while Su Ling was sitting aside.

Seeing him coming, they both stood up.

"Happy New Year!"

The two also smiled and said hello.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole put the things on the table and said with a smile: "I had dinner at Master's house earlier and didn't come over. It's really rude to come here this afternoon."

Su Ling smiled nonchalantly: "Didn't I tell you not to bring anything here? Why did you bring something again?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled.

"Sit down! Don't stand."

Father Hua pointed at the sofa next to him and smiled. He was about to ask his daughter to pour tea, but the other party had already left.

No more words were said.

Several people took their seats.

Yang Xiaole looked at the two of them and smiled and said, "Uncle, I was just at Master's place and heard that you have the idea of ​​going to Hong Kong Island?"

Hua's father thought about it for a moment and nodded slightly.

"With this idea, you students are so noisy. I've always felt frightened recently."

Yang Xiaole took the coffee poured by Hua Yourong and thanked him.

After taking a sip, he put it on the table and then said: "Uncle, you are right. Young people are not lacking in vitality and surging blood. Anyway, I feel that if you have a chance, you should go to Hong Kong Island to develop. The development there has been rapid in the past few years. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will just come back. ”

(Some people keep saying that they should be notified in advance, but that cannot be written.)
Hua's father nodded slightly when he saw this: "Yes, so I plan to wait for Tiantian's mother to give birth. When the child is older, we will go there."

These words made Yang Xiaole roll his eyes.

By the time the child is born, it will be too late.

Nowadays, the richer people are, the more sensitive they are, but people like Father Hua cannot feel it.

But the richer you are, the more troublesome the process of getting out is.

It's more convenient for Father Hua to go out.

But they won’t leave!
Yang Xiaole knew that he couldn't persuade him. After all, these people didn't understand the direction of history.

After sitting there chatting for a while, he said goodbye and left.

……

When Yang Xiaole returned home on his bicycle, he saw Qu Ying's door open and Xiaomei and Xiaoli cleaning the room.

A burst of curiosity!

Qu Ying is back?
After walking in, I saw that the quilt on the bed and the clothes in the closet were gone.

Then he asked out of curiosity: "Hey, what are you two doing here!"

Xiaoli took a broom to sweep the floor. Hearing this, she raised her head and smiled: "Qu Ying has moved out. I have agreed with my mother about the house."

"This woman moves so fast!"

Yang Xiaole muttered, and then asked: "When did she come back?"

"I came back in the morning. I talked to my mother about the house at noon and then moved the things away. I don't want anything anymore."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded slightly: "Well, you can do it. By the way, when I see my mother, I tell her that I will sleep with my master tonight!"

Say hello and leave.

Xiaoli's muttering voice came from behind: "Didn't you just come back from there! Why are you going again..."

Apart from quilts and clothes, most of Qu Ying's things had been prepared during this time, and the fire bed was all set up, waiting for her to move in.

There isn’t much to pack.

When we arrived at the place, the door was closed but not locked.

Pushing open the door, she was sure that Qu Ying was packing clothes alone in the room at this time. She locked the door and entered the room with a smile.

Probably because he heard the sound of the door opening, when he came to the main room, Qu Ying had already walked out of the bedroom.

Seeing him coming, Qu Ying smiled: "I guessed it was you!"

Yang Xiaole didn't say anything, just hugged the other person and kissed him for a while.

It wasn't until her body was limp that he picked her up sideways and went directly to the room.

He threw her clothes on the kang, touched her face, and said with a smile, "The wind from the northwest is really strong, and my face is a little darker."

Fortunately, the well water he brought me didn't make my skin rough.

My hair is slightly damp, I guess I took a shower when I came back this morning. Qu Ying touched her cheek embarrassedly!
He smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do! I'm pretty good here! Many people over there have cracked lips."

After saying that, get up.

Yang Xiaole touched the hot kang and said with a smile: "Did you know that I was coming and have the kang been heated in advance?"

After saying that, he took off his shoes and got on the kang.

Qu Ying slapped him and gave him a shy look.

But there was no rebuttal.

Not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns.

After not seeing each other for half a month, it was like dry wood meeting a burning fire.

responded enthusiastically.

And this time it's not like being in a courtyard, and the voice doesn't need to be so suppressed.

It's directly open.

…………

"Look at you! Your clothes are messed up again!"

An hour later, Qu Ying pointed to the kang with a red face, and folded the clothes that she had not remembered to stuff into the closet.

Yang Xiaole chuckled.

He held her in his arms and asked, "Why did you come back so early this time! I thought you were going to stay there for a month!"

"How can I take such a long leave? Last time it was because of special circumstances."

Qu Ying said something, thought about it, and whispered: "Well... I told my mother about my matter!"

Yang Xiaole was surprised by these words; "Ah, did you really say that?"

"Yeah, are you scared?"

Qu Ying turned over, climbed on top of him, pouted her little mouth, wrinkled her little nose and snorted.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "What am I afraid of? Just know it!"

He's really not afraid.

Just know it if you know it!

It doesn't matter if you let him take responsibility. He didn't say he wasn't responsible in the first place!
But getting married now is impossible.

"Humph!"

After hearing what he said, Qu Ying was satisfied, and then said, "My mother is my only relative. If I don't tell her, who will I tell her? Don't worry, she won't tell anyone else. Uncle Zhang doesn't even tell her." Know."

Yang Xiaole nodded: "Then what did your mother say?"

So far!

Unless Qu Ying reported him, it would be useless even if Qu's mother wrote a letter or came in person.

Traveling these days is not that simple.

"Huh, my mother said, let me marry you!"

After saying that, he saw Yang Xiaole just laughing, and then said, "I'm kidding you!"

Then he sighed and said: "My mother said, if you are willing to marry me, let me marry you. If you are not willing..."

"What if you don't want to?"

Yang Xiaole squeezed it with his hand.

Qu Ying slowly closed her eyes and sighed, then opened her eyes, loosened her clenched lips and glared at him angrily.

After getting used to it, she opened her mouth and said, "My mother said, if you don't want to, let me find a good man to marry. A woman's youth only lasts a few years, so we can't waste it anymore."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded.

This is true.

Seeing him nodding slightly, Qu Ying said dissatisfiedly: "You really want me to find a good man to marry!"

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes at her: "Did I say it? It's true. There must be others, let's talk about it together!"

"Hmph!~"

Qu Yingjiao snorted, then bit her lip and said, hesitating for a moment: "My mother said that if I can't let you go and you don't want to marry me, let me go to the northwest to give birth to a child and say that the child's father is dead."

Then he muttered: "If you say I can't be big, I'll be small."

Yang Xiaole was speechless for a while when he heard this, and then he really started to think about it.

As for going to the northwest to give birth to a child, it was natural to give birth to him.

As for making it small if you can't make it big, I guess only people who came from the Republic of China era can accept it. After all, it was only a dozen years after liberation.

The values ​​and concepts of Qu Ying's mother's generation have been solidified.

Anyway, he didn't believe that Qu Ying was willing to be small.

Even if she has no choice but to do so, the same principle applies. After all, her ideas are those after liberation.

"What are you thinking about!"

Yang Xiaole turned over and said with a smile: "You are not allowed to go anywhere. When it is time to give birth to a child, I will give birth to one for you."

He knew it was a little selfish of him to do this.

But...he really couldn't think of any good way.

Qu Ying sighed after hearing this, rested her head on his arm, and said nothing.

Yang Xiaole smiled when he saw this and said, "It's much better now that there's no one living next door. You can open up and scream."

"You are such a scoundrel!"

Qu Ying gave him a disgusted look and threw a pillow at him.

"Bold! After a trip to the northwest, I became bolder. See how I treat you!"

How could Yang Xiaole let her be so arrogant, so she decided to train her well... Bah, teach her a lesson.

"嘤嘤~~~~"

…………

I originally came back in the afternoon, but after a lot of fussing, it was almost dark.

Yang Xiaole looked at Qu Ying who was slumped on the bed and said with a smile: "You can sleep for a while, I'll go cook!"

Qu Ying took the train for several days. Although she slept on the train, she did not sleep well.

After all this tossing, she was already exhausted.

He fell asleep immediately.

Yang Xiaole went to the kitchen to cook.

……

"Hey, little lazy boy, get up! Eat before going to bed."

Qu Ying is sleeping soundly!
Hearing the sound in a daze, he opened his eyes and took a look.

There was a kang table on the kang, with two servings of hot tomato and egg noodles on it, which was her favorite.

Then he sat up.

He twisted his arms and his whole body felt like it was falling apart.

Then he looked at the Kang table next to him and said, "Do you want to eat here? I'm not used to it!"

Touching the heated kang, he knew that this was Yang Xiaole adding coal again.

"It's okay, I'll get used to it gradually."

Yang Xiaole gestured, then sat up and said, "You won't eat anything too greasy after riding in the car for a few days. Take your time, and I'll get you something delicious tomorrow."

Qu Ying nodded, sat down and put on her clothes.

He sat there and ate.

Yang Xiaole said while eating: "Don't put too many coals in this kang at once, otherwise people will not be able to bear the heat."

When you come in from the outside, it feels warmer and more comfortable.

But after sleeping for a while, I felt too hot.

But it's not surprising. After all, Qu Ying has never burned a kang, so it's pretty good to be able to heat it up.

Qu Ying nodded when she heard this, and then asked: "By the way, aren't you going back?"

"Why are you going back? Anyway, they are used to me being away from home all day long. I said I would go to my master's place."

Hearing this, Qu Ying joked and said with a smile: "Then you call Master and listen!"

But seeing Yang Xiaole's evil expression, she quickly changed her words: "You're just kidding, our factory is going to be moved during this period, did you know?"

Yang Xiaole nodded when he heard this: "I know!"

Father Yang Guangzhi has already said it.

People nowadays move very quickly, and the leaders will definitely not tell their subordinates during meetings. After all, they have been angry before, and now they suddenly announce that they are moving.

What reassured him this time was that his father failed to follow him to the northwest.

Then he asked, "You didn't say you wanted to follow me, did you?"

"No, I went to the factory today to sell fake products. The factory director told me that if I don't want to stay here, I will be in charge of the publicity department and radio station in the future."

"Huo, that's a good thing! You've become a leader."

Qu Ying rolled her eyes at him when she heard this.

"Now you are satisfied!"

"Hey, I'm satisfied. I'll reward you tonight."

Qu Ying: "..."

After dinner in the evening, Yang Xiaole naturally didn't reward her. After all, she was tired after sitting in the car for so long.

He just held her and fell asleep after a while.

……

In the next few days, Qu Ying and her mother-in-law went to the housing management office to trade the house.

From then on, Qu Ying disappeared in this courtyard.
