Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 2 Glorious Ancestor!
When Wu Aiguo heard his niece's words, he quickly opened the paper wrapping the toffee and stuffed the toffee into Yingying's mouth.

The moment the toffee entered her mouth, Yingying was so happy that she narrowed her eyes and thanked vaguely: "Thank you, uncle! The toffee is so sweet! It is the sweetest candy that Yingying has ever tasted in her life. "

"Mom! We're back from school!" Yingying's voice hadn't finished yet when the curtain was lifted suddenly, and Wu Aili and Wu Aifang ran into the house with their schoolbags on their backs. An expression of surprise suddenly appeared, and he shouted happily: "Second brother! You are back!"

Wu Aifang, who was walking behind, heard Wu Aili's shout, saw Wu Aiguo standing in front of her, and immediately rushed towards Wu Aiguo, shouting happily: "Second brother! You are finally back, do you know that I am How much I miss you."

Wu Aiguo saw the two younger sisters whom he hadn't seen for many years, happily embraced the fourth child who threw himself into his arms, and said with a smile, "Brother misses you too!"

"Auntie! Uncle has White Rabbit toffee. It's sweet, so sweet!" Yingying kept sucking the toffee in her mouth and said vaguely to Wu Aili.

Wu Aili heard Yingying's words, but before she could react, Wu Aifang, who was in Wu Aiguo's arms, asked in surprise, "Where is the white rabbit toffee? I haven't eaten white rabbit toffee for a long time."

Wu Aiguo heard what his sister said, and replied with a smile: "Yes! Yes! I'll get it for you."

After Wu Aiguo said this, he put his luggage bag on the table. He first took out bacon wrapped in newspapers and some specialties from the Northeast. He smiled and said to Chen Shuying: "Mom! This is a gift from my comrades. You can cook some bacon and Northeastern specialties later so everyone can have a taste."

When Wu Aifang saw the sausage in Wu Aiguo's hand, her eyes lit up immediately, and she cheered happily, "There's some meat to eat!"

After Wu Aiguo handed the sausages and specialties to his mother, he took out a bag of White Rabbit toffee from his luggage bag and told Wu Aili: "Lily! I leave this bag of White Rabbit toffee to you for safekeeping. You two and Yingying, each person can only take one pill a day!"

Wu Aili saw a pack of White Rabbit toffee in Wu Aiguo's hand, swallowed subconsciously, reached out to take the toffee, and assured Wu Aiguo happily: "Second brother! Don't worry! I will definitely keep it. Good these toffees.”

When Chen Shuying saw the packet of toffee that Wu Aiguo handed to Wu Aili, she immediately complained to Wu Aiguo unhappily: "Aiguo! This toffee costs several yuan per pound. Why are you wasting this money?"

Wu Aiguo heard Chen Shuying's complaint, and replied with a smile: "Mom! These toffees were given to me by my comrades in arms, and I didn't buy them with money."

When Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiguo's words, she stopped worrying about the milk candies, and told Wu Aiguo, "Patriotic! You rest for a while, and Mom will cook for you. When your father and elder brother and sister-in-law come back, we It’s time to eat.”

At around five o'clock in the evening, Wu Aidang returned home with his pregnant wife on his bicycle. When he saw Wu Aiguo sitting in the house, a surprised expression appeared on his face and he shouted happily: "Aiguo !When did you come back?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Wu Aidang's shout, he immediately stood up from his chair and replied with a smile: "Brother! I just came back today."

After Wu Aiguo heard what Wu Aiguo said, he quickly introduced him to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! Let me introduce to you, this is your sister-in-law Zhang Yunyan!"

"Swallow! This is my brother Wu Aiguo!" After Wu Aidang introduced his wife, he introduced Wu Aiguo to his wife.

Zhang Yunyan heard Wu Aiguo's introduction, looked at the handsome Wu Aiguo in front of her, smiled and said to Wu Aiguo: "Patriotic! Welcome home!"

"Dad! Mom! The White Rabbit toffee that uncle gave Yingying to eat is so fragrant and sweet!" Yingying saw her parents and thought of the taste of toffee, and said happily to Wu Aidang and his wife.

When Zhang Yunyan heard her daughter's words, she asked Yingying lovingly, "Yingying! Did you thank uncle?"

When Yingying heard Zhang Yunyan's inquiry, she remembered that she had forgotten to thank Wu Aiguo, and quickly thanked Wu Aiguo: "Thank you, uncle, for the toffee!"

"Little Yingying! What uncle's toffee?" Yingying's voice just fell, the curtain was lifted, and Wu Pingshan's laughter came from outside.

Hearing his father's laughter, Wu Aiguo immediately greeted Wu Pingshan, "Dad! Are you back from get off work?"

Wu Pingshan, who had just walked into the house, was obviously stunned when he saw Wu Aiguo standing in front of him. Then he acted like a strict father and asked Wu Aiguo: "Second brother! When did you come back? "

Wu Aiguo heard Wu Pingshan's question, saw Wu Pingshan's serious expression, and replied, "Dad! I changed my job from the army and just got home this afternoon."

"What! Patriotism! You came back from a job change? In this way, don't you have the status of a cadre? Then do you know which unit your superiors arranged for you?" Wu Aidang heard Wu Aiguo mention changing jobs With these two words, a shocked expression appeared on his face, and he immediately asked Wu Aiguo.

When Wu Aiguo heard Wu Aidang's inquiry, he thought of the news his old boss told him when he left Northeast China, and introduced: "Brother! I have been arranged to go to Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative as the deputy section chief of the purchasing department."

In this era of planned economy, Wu Aiguo, the supply and marketing cooperative, is the most popular unit.

Chen Shuying, who was preparing dinner, learned that her son had not only become a cadre, but also the deputy section chief of the purchasing department of the supply and marketing cooperative. As a mother, she felt very proud and said happily: "Great! Our old Wu family is finally here." There is a cadre."

When Wu Aiguo heard Chen Shuying's words and saw Chen Shuying's proud expression, he immediately remembered the virtues of the birds in the courtyard, and did not forget to remind Chen Shuying: "Mom! I serve as the deputy section chief of the purchasing section of the supply and marketing cooperative. We ourselves Just talk about it at home, but never say it in our yard."

Chen Shuying was still thinking about showing off in the yard after dinner, so Wu Aiguo's instructions made her feel very puzzled.

"Patriotic! After you joined the work, you became a cadre. This is a great thing to honor your ancestors. Why do you have to cover it up?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Chen Shuying's inquiry, he thought of the virtues of the animals in the courtyard and reminded him: "Mom! It's not like you don't know the virtues of the people in our courtyard. If they know my identity, please ask us for help." , shall we help or shall we not help?”

In Wu Pingshan's eyes, Wu Aiguo was completely a bastard who only caused trouble, and for this reason, he forcibly sent Wu Pingshan to serve as a soldier.

When Wu Pingshan heard Wu Aiguo's instructions to his wife, he obviously found that the gangster who had given him a lot of headaches in the past had not only changed for the better after passing through the melting pot of the army, but had also become very sensible. This made him feel very relieved and said to The wife reminded: "Shuying! Aiguo is right. Regarding Aiguo's work arrangement, let's tell the outside world that it is in the supply and marketing cooperative, and don't say anything else."
