Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chu Xiangqian said that he would exchange copybooks for Ye Wei, but Nan Guangsheng shook his head, "Brother, this copybook is my filial piety."

Chu Qianqian raised his head and saw the boy's serious expression.

He couldn't help but laugh, knowing that Nan Guangsheng wanted to make up for the relationship with him.

On the contrary, it made Chu Xiangqian laugh.

"Okay, you and I, a 15-year-old kid, have nothing to hold grudges against. I said I would give you 10 hares, so that's all I'll give you.

You can also keep it in my hands for the time being. Just tell me when you need it. "

Nan Guangsheng was really relieved.

Before leaving, Chu Qianqian saw that this boy could not carry 88 pounds of wild boar marinated in sea salt and a bamboo basket alone.

He simply lifted the bamboo basket and put it on the back seat of the bicycle, and then asked Nan Guangsheng, "Can you ride back?"

Nan Guangsheng nodded hurriedly, but after leaving the courtyard, he had no intention of riding, but kept pushing back home.

Called his grandpa out, and while carrying the bamboo basket into the house together, he told grandpa everything about tonight.

After hearing this, the old man couldn't help but fell silent and put the bamboo basket into the house.

Then he sighed and said, "Guangsheng, grandpa seems to have ruined your future."

Nan Guangsheng has figured it out, and now he also understands that there is no use regretting.

It's better to honor my grandpa, work hard, marry a good wife, and have a few babies.

Not to mention, with Nan Guangsheng's mentality, he may not be rich or wealthy in this life, but he should live a good life.

After a night of silence, Chu Qianqian stared at the patriots and the people walking in the streets early the next morning, while he cooked a pot of millet porridge, and then went out to buy a few fried dough sticks and meat buns.

After eating, he secretly said that Aiyuan, his second aunt, and Ai Lin Aiqiu would not arrive in the capital until noon even if they were in the capital today.

I went out to a department store. I wanted to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, but I didn't expect that these things also require tickets.

I couldn't help but curse secretly, and simply went to the commission shop and found the master at work.

Old Man Gong heard Chu Qianqian say that he wanted to practice calligraphy, so he chose a set of the Four Treasures of the Study for him without asking any questions.

Then I picked up this published copybook and explanation for beginners.

Seeing that Chu Qianqian was looking at the explanation seriously, Old Man Gong truly believed that this boy really wanted to practice calligraphy.

He smiled and said, "When you have learned some basics, I will introduce you to calligraphy."

Chu Qianqian was stunned, and secretly thought that it was good to have a master, so he didn't have to think about the follow-up issues at all.

"By the way, if you return to Hong Kong Island this time, will you take Hong Kong students with you?"

Chu shook his head forward, "It's better to wait a year or two!"

Old Man Gong glared at Chu Xiangqian angrily, "You can get married at the age of 16 in Hong Kong Island, why is it so early?"

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he knew that he must be eager to embrace his disciple.

He smiled and said, "Master, I will definitely marry a Hong Kong student. But if you and your wife want to have grandchildren, you can think about Xiao Lan'er and my children first?"
Maybe for the wife, children born in Hong Kong will be more affectionate, but you shouldn't. "

Old Man Gong felt in his heart that Chu Xiangqian was right, and it seemed that the little girl of the Xue family would definitely be the eldest, but for the sake of family harmony, he could only side with his wife Chen Shenglan.

He waved his hand and said, "Ganggungun, if you have nothing to do at noon, go to your wife's place for dinner and bring me lunch by the way."

Chu shook his head forward, "It's okay to bring lunch, but I have to go home at noon. My second aunt is here with my third brother and little sister."

After finishing speaking, he told the story about the second aunt taking over the work of Aiyuan Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Old Man Gong asked in surprise, "Why didn't you bring Aiguo or Aimin with you instead of bringing this girl Aiyuan?"

Naturally, Chu Xiangqian would not say that his younger sister would not threaten his future property, so his younger brother would be concerned about his family property.

He said with a smile, "Patriotism and love for the people are stupid, and they don't have big ambitions. Last time I asked them in front of my second uncle and third uncle, one of the two brothers said nothing, and the other said that parents make the decision.

I almost slapped them both in the face.On the contrary, Aiyuan directly begged me to take her there. "

Old Man Gong thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's really not suitable to go out and have no ambition. But living a stable life is not a bad thing."

Chu Xiangqian agreed with this, and heard the master continue, "By the way, since you don't plan to bring Hong Kong students with you so early, then you also find a job for her?"

This time Chu Xiangqian agreed. He originally wanted to ask if he could teach Patriotism and People-loving Baguazhang and Xingyiquan.

But then I thought about it, Hong Quan alone was enough for the two brothers to practice for several years.

Moreover, if you practice Baguazhang, the master and his wife will definitely not have any objections, but it is hard to say for the second master Gong.

It’s better not to make the old lady unhappy.

"Master, how about I make you some mutton soup and sesame seed cakes for lunch?"

Old Man Gong drooled after hearing this. When Chu Qianqian saw this, he smiled and put the Four Treasures of the Study and the copybook into his storage compartment when no one was around.

After riding a bicycle for a few minutes, I bought 4 servings of mutton soup and 8 sesame seed cakes at the state-owned mutton soup restaurant on the Dongzhimen side.

The cashier almost wanted to curse.

At this time, there are actually not many people coming to drink mutton soup. After all, some cultural workers earn hundreds of dollars a month, so they are not short of money at all.

The more difficult it is, the more unusual these people become. In addition, some people with deep family backgrounds have to go out to restaurants if they have no food.

This is also one of the reasons why entertainment practitioners will be hardest hit during the storm in the future.

Others only make [-] or [-] a month, while theirs range from a few hundred to two or three thousand a month. If it were Chu Qianqian, he would probably go crazy with jealousy.

Therefore, the state-owned sheep soup restaurant is not worried that no one will buy it, but is worried that the supply of real sheep will become less and less.

Even if the whole sheep is gone, the waiters like them will be out of work.

Although the wages and rations will not be less, there will also be less opportunities to get some mutton and haggis.

After Chu Xiangqian gave the waiter money and tickets, he saw the chef cutting the mutton head, thinking that the second aunt and the others would not have much time to make lunch when they came over at noon.

He simply used his body to cover himself, quietly took a pack of large qianmen and placed it on the counter.

Then he whispered to the middle-aged female cashier, "Sister, help me and ask for two more pounds of lamb head meat."

Young people a few decades from now may dislike the fat content of lamb head meat, but in this era, half fat and half meat is the most delicious.

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian was so discerning, the cashier didn't care whether the people behind him could eat the mutton head meat for lunch today.

After issuing invoices and collecting food stamps, he even went to the kitchen to help Chu Xiangqian select the best two kilograms of sheep head meat and wrap it in brown paper for him.

Back at the commission shop, Chu Qianqian winked at the master.

Old Man Gong immediately called his apprentice who only taught appraisal skills to come over and look at the counter, and he took Chu Xiang to the warehouse behind.

Chu Qianqian said, "I'll get the food."

Then he carried a bamboo basket into the small warehouse.

He took out 4 sheep heads and 8 sesame seed cakes and said, "Master, you and your 3 brothers can handle a ton together."

When Old Man Gong saw this, he couldn't help but praise Chu Qiang for being so sensible.

Although the three apprentices entrusted to the store are not considered successors in the mantle of kowtow, but they are still master-disciple relationships after all.

If Chu Xiangqian, a junior fellow apprentice, only recognized his master and not his three senior fellow apprentices, that would be fine, but it would seem unreasonable.

Moreover, the three previous apprentices also helped select hundreds of antique bowls and plates from the small warehouse.

Chu Xiangqian naturally remembered this, and then he thought about buying mutton soup and sesame cakes for them. After the three senior brothers were called over separately, their throats moved several times as they looked at the milky-white mutton soup and sesame seed cakes.

After receiving several thanks, Chu Qianqian said his goodbyes.

Returning to the courtyard, he took out the brown paper bag tied with a rope and hung it on the handlebar.

When I walked in, I saw my second aunt and Aiyuan cooking under the eaves.

"Brother, you are back!"

Ai Qiu, who was playing with a few little guys in the open space in the front yard, had actually been staring at the door.

Seeing Chu Qianqian coming in, he quickly shouted and rushed over.

Hearing the sound, the second uncle, Ai Lin, second aunt and Ai Yuan in the room all came forward to greet them.

After being polite, Chu Xiangqian handed the brown paper bag to Aiyuan.

Aiyuan took it and quickly asked about the rich smell of meat.

Chu Qianqian stood up his bicycle and picked up Ai Qiu, who was hugging his calf.

I heard the second uncle say, "Go forward, I brought a few bamboo baskets, straw hats, and mats. If you think it's okay, you can make it according to the samples I brought."

Chu nodded forward, but knew in his heart that there was nothing interesting to see.

The one who was able to make bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets so quickly was the fault of Qin Dakui, the captain of the forestry farm, who went to Qinjiazhuang and asked Qin Huairu's father to ask for a few bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets and sent them to the city for him to see.

After entering the house, Chu Qianqian glanced and recognized the bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets. They were made with the same craftsmanship as the 600 bamboo baskets he had collected in the yard of Maoer Hutong a few days ago.

However, the straw hat and mat look obviously different.

Thinking about it for a moment, it should have been made by the carpenters in the forest farm.

The bamboo basket and the bamboo basket were only inspected briefly, but Chu Xiangqian didn't pay much attention to them.

I checked the straw hat and mat carefully and made sure they were fine. Then I said to my second uncle, "Just make them according to this standard. When they are shipped, remember that each bamboo product comes with a 5% discount."

If there are any unqualified products, the extra 5% of products can be used to silence the buyers. "

The second uncle thought for a while and nodded. 1% of 5 pieces is 500, which is divided into six items: bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, straw hats, bamboo mats, bamboo chairs, and bamboo beds, but each type has 8 or 90 pieces more. That’s all.

Converted into money, it's less than a dozen or more than 20 yuan.

But with [-] pieces of bamboo products, you can make hundreds of dollars per batch.

That's several thousand dollars a year, which is already twice as much as what everyone makes in previous years.

In rural areas these days, except for the forest farm, which is actually a subordinate of the Forestry Bureau, ordinary farmers can see that 10 yuan a year is pretty good.
-
At noon, the whole family ate lamb head meat mixed with garlic and chili paste.

Chu Xiangqian didn't wait for his second aunt to complain, and simply took out 50 kilograms of food stamps from his pocket.

The second aunt was naturally overjoyed, while the second uncle looked a little embarrassed.

But the more his uncle acted like this, the more Chu Xiangqian felt embarrassed.

He obviously lacks nothing, but he keeps guarding against this and that, which really seems to be too calculating.

It all sounds a bit like Yan Fugui.

However, it seems like he can't change it if he is asked to change it.

After all, I have seen too many white-eyed wolves on the Internet, TV, and movies in my previous life.

It's hard not to be on guard.

Moreover, he was an only child in his previous life, and his cousins ​​didn't often get together. They would only have dinner together during holidays, so he didn't have a deep relationship with siblings.

It's been this way since childhood, and it's hard to change.

However, after being in this world for more than 8 months, my younger brothers and sisters have never caused any trouble for me, and they still listen to me in everything.

Naturally, I have a bit of a big brother mentality.

After eating, Chu Xiangqian had no choice but to hold Ai Qiu, who was by his side again, in his arms, and said to his second uncle, "Uncle, how about you also report to stay in the city?"

The second uncle shook his head, "No, the forest farm has more things to do now, and the captain can't be busy at all.

You must drag me and your third uncle to help.From now on I will come over once a week just to see a few children. "

Chu Qianqian was secretly happy. This man was middle-aged, and he really didn't necessarily like to stay with his wife every day.

After the second aunt and Aiyuan finished washing the dishes, Chu Xiangqian took out the note from the supply and marketing cooperative and asked Aiyuan to take the second aunt to the supply and marketing cooperative to report in the afternoon.

By the way, I brought some chestnuts, Taopu, and dried red dates to distribute to future colleagues.

For this kind of thing, Chu Xiangqian took Aiyuan and gave her the same snacks on her first day at work.

In addition, Aiyuan has been working in the supply and marketing cooperative for half a year, so it will not be difficult to deal with the aunts at the counter.

Chu Xiangqian took Ai Lin and Ai Qiu out shopping.

The two little ones sitting on the bicycle looked at everything novel.

Unknowingly, I walked along Beiyanhe Street and arrived near Wangfujing. I looked at the patched clothes on Ai Qiu, who was sitting on the front bumper.

Chu Qianqian parked the car, hugged the little guy, and took Ailin into Wangfujing Shopping Mall.

Taking out a few cloth tickets, Chu Xiangqian was shocked. If the half-year cloth tickets were not used, they would become invalid.

Instantly started the buying, buying, buying mode.

It's just two little guys, one is 13 and the other is only 6 years old. Two sets for each of them doesn't cost much money.

Not to mention money, Chu Xiangqian couldn't spend all the RMB he had now.

Aiqiu now likes her elder brother even more.

Ailin also kept smiling happily, secretly thinking that her elder brother still loved her.

Chu Xiangqian simply chose some skirts for Xiao Laner and Hong Kong Sheng.

I also bought leather shoes and facial cream.

Then give the second uncle and third uncle a tunic suit and two shirts each.

In the end, there were five or six cloth tickets left unused.

After thinking about it, I went back to my second aunt and asked her to buy it herself. If she couldn't bear to part with new clothes, buy them for the patriot and the people.

I only had two small things when I went out, and when I came home, the small bags were hung all over the handlebars.

This was the result of Chu Qianqian using the excuse to go to the toilet and put the clothes sold to Xiao Lan'er and Hong Kong Sheng into the warehouse.

When I got home, the second uncle said it was a waste, but when he tried on the tunic suit, the smile on his face did not diminish.

Ai Qiu, on the other hand, was wearing a newly bought skirt and was unwilling to change it at all. She even went to show off to the little doll in the yard she met in the morning.

As long as it is not food, although the adults in the yard are envious, they cannot be jealous.

Chu Xiangqian's high salary and good treatment were known to not only the people in the courtyard, but also to the courtyard next door when he became the deputy chief of the street security section.

After all, no one around here can ride a three-wheeler home every two days.

Besides, everyone in this alley knew about his hunting skills last winter.
