Call Me Daddy

"Wang Juan, can your briquettes be piled up better? It's all blocking the way. Really, how many times have I told you, but I always don't change it."

"Whose chickens are all running out, and they don't care about **** everywhere!"

"Hey, Uncle Huang, come to your son's house, have you had breakfast yet?"

Early in the morning, the courtyard was very lively, there were voices of greeting and greetings, and voices of complaining to each other. There were several smoke rising from a small courtyard, and the whole courtyard was foggy and foggy, making people unable to open their eyes. .

This is an ordinary two-entry private house. Originally, this area belonged to a big capitalist. Later, during the years of the movement, these assets were confiscated and sub-leased to workers in the factory as employee benefits. The people inside have lived in it for more than ten years, and they have already regarded this house as their own private property.

Su's family is one of the households in the two courtyards. Their house is assigned to the left wing of the lower courtyard. The two rooms add up to more than forty square meters. Now a family of seven lives in these two rooms. Very crowded.

One is the living room and dining room, and there is a foldable wire bed in the room, which is put away during the day and set up at night. Su Daqing, the head of the Su family, and his wife Wang Juan sleep here at night.

The other room is the room of Su Jibai, the eldest son of the Su family. By the way, Su Jibai was his original name. A few years ago, he himself changed his name to Su Jihong, to signify that a red star was sent to the party.

He and his wife, Liu Shuanghong, and their three children lived in this small room of more than ten square meters. The small room was divided into two halves, and the smaller half had two bunk beds. The two sons slept on one side, and there was a bamboo mat in the middle of the bed where they slept with the daughter, which was used for privacy.

Their family of five lived in such a small room, and it was really difficult to get around, especially now that the three children were grown up, and the couple did not have their own separate room, so it was awkward to do things.

But these years, housing is tight, almost every household is like this. The only expectation of these working families is to wait for the unit to allocate housing.

Both Su Daqing and Su Jihong are employees of the Capital No. 2 Shoe Factory. The No. 2 Shoe Factory has enjoyed good benefits over the years and has built a number of welfare housing. Unfortunately, when the housing was allocated for the first time, dual-career families were given priority, while Su Jihong Liu Shuanghong, his wife, is only a temporary worker in the textile factory, so they are not within the scope of assignment.

For this matter, Liu Shuanghong has been blaming her mother-in-law and sister-in-law Suzhu in her heart. In order to let her sister-in-law avoid going to the countryside, her mother-in-law directly passed her official job in the shoe factory to her sister-in-law. If they get their mother-in-law's job, then their family will be full-time workers in the shoe factory, and their family should be included in the first batch of welfare housing.

You must know that the previous batch of tube buildings was built very well. A colleague of Sujihong was lucky and got a large room with 50 square meters. The man moved out. As for the three children, the mother-in-law has retired anyway, and they can still be raised in the old house. At that time, they will have two houses, one for themselves, and the children will stay in the courtyard and occupy the other. set.

Because of this incident, Liu Shuanghong's attitude towards Su Zhu was not good. She hoped that Su Zhu could return the job of Su's family, and Su Zhu had always been doted on by her parents, so she would not be spoiled by Liu Shuanghong. Sister-in-law, every time these two people meet, it's like the tip of the needle is facing each other. The old couple is caught in the middle, and they are also in a dilemma, so they can only help and make peace.

"I heard from the old Wang in our workshop that the results of the college entrance examination seemed to come out half a month ago, and I don't know if the second child has participated or not, and how he did in the exam."

When the family was eating breakfast around the small dining table, Su Daqing suddenly spoke.

Su Jihong and Liu Shuanghong who were on the side heard his words, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across their faces.

"I haven't received a reply, so I guess I didn't pass the exam."

Su Jihong thought, if he had been admitted to university, his younger brother would have already sent a telegram to his family.

Su Daqing just mentioned it casually. In fact, he himself didn't have any hope for his son. Before he went to the countryside, Su Aobai's grades were good, but after ten years in the countryside, he should have forgotten all that knowledge. Didn't the clerks in the office of their shoe factory pass the exam? How does that kid compare with others?

Clean up after dinner, it's time to go to work, Liu Shuanghong dragged Su Jihong back to the room, and asked in a low voice.

"Because nothing will happen?"

After hearing the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, the two elders of the Su family immediately thought of their second son who was still in the country. There is no threat to them, but after he returns to the city, will he still be given half of the old house?

So the couple came up with a crooked idea, and added embellishments when writing the letter. The purpose was to hope that the letter would be read by the second wife's wife, so that the other party would be vigilant, and Su Aobai would be prevented from giving him the opportunity to take the college entrance examination.

"What can happen?"

When doing this, Su Jihong was a little guilty, because of the three brothers and sisters, the second child has always been the one who has been wronged the most, but who made the family house so big, and his welfare allocation It's been so far away, if Su Aobai really enters the university and comes back, where can I conjure another bed for him.

Could it be that he was allowed to sleep on his daughter's bunk bed, and then let his daughter come to their husband and wife's room to squeeze each other?

People don't kill people for themselves, anyway, the second child has been in the countryside for more than ten years, and he should get used to the life in the country, so he should just stay there for the rest of his life.

The sound of approaching footsteps came from a wall away, and the couple hurriedly stopped talking, but they couldn't let their parents know what they were thinking. Although Su Zhihong felt that even if their parents found out in the end, it might not be because of the second child. blame him.

"Su Daqing, Wang Juan, is the leader of the admissions office looking for you?"

When the couple changed into their overalls and walked out of the room, they saw the street director appearing at home with several strangers.

Today is a very unusual day for the Su family who live in Liuliu Hutong in the capital.

"What! You said that my second child was admitted to university, and he was the number one student in the college entrance examination this year!"

Su Daqing jumped up directly. He turned his head to look at his wife, hoping to get confirmation from her eyes that this was real, not just a dream.

But at this moment, like him, Wang Juan was also immersed in the sudden surprise and full of disbelief.

In fact, Su Aobai had good grades before he went to the countryside. Unlike the mediocre boss Su Jihong and the petite and willful youngest daughter Suzhu, this second child who is not valued has always been a good boy in others' mouths, good-looking, With good grades, in other families, even if this child is the second child who is most likely to be neglected, he will be loved by the elders.

But Su Daqing and Wang Juan just couldn't like this son. There was a reason for this matter.

Wang Juan has a biological uncle. In their big family, she is the uncle with the best appearance. She is a child who has absorbed the aura of the whole family. At that time, New China had not yet been established. Her uncle was in a foreign company Going to work, talking about it is a big shot with great face.

But it is such a man who puts face on the whole family, and finally turns out that he likes men. If this is not a perverted second chair, what is it?

In the end, Wang Juan's promising uncle couldn't bear the pressure from the outside world and chose to commit suicide by swallowing opium. This incident also left a deep shadow on Wang Juan.

Su Daqing and Wang Juan grew up together, and they are very familiar with Wang Juan's uncle. He also disgusted the man who likes men, so when they found out that their second son looked more and more like that man, the couple thought about it carefully. Ri couldn't hurt him.

When Yuan Shen went to the countryside, they even breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he really fell in love with a man in the future, news of such a long distance would not reach the capital, and they saved face.

It wasn't until the son wrote in a letter saying that he was married that the couple felt a little regretful, thinking that they shouldn't be prejudiced against this child because of the grievances of the previous generation, but they have been used to ignoring him for so many years. Really not.

It wasn't until now that the group of admissions officers in front of them came to say that their second son became the number one student in the college entrance examination, and they really started to regret it.

The neglect of the first ten years, and the indifference of the next ten years, the old couple knew in their hearts that no matter how successful this son was, he was destined not to become a good son who was filial and considerate in their minds.

And there is also an unknown daughter-in-law, it is not certain whether they will be able to get rich in the future.

The people from the Educated Youth Office came here to ask them to help persuade Su Aobai to apply for the Capital University. After all, they are still Su Aobai's parents, and their persuasion may have some effect.

Su Daqing and Wang Juan were indescribably angry when they heard that their son had sacrificed his premise for a woman.

On the other hand, Su Jihong and Liu Shuanghong were extremely conflicted.

They didn't expect the second child's grades to be so good. He is the top student in the college entrance examination. He doesn't know how much he will be an official after graduation. If he is successful, how can he not help his own nephew?

But in case he hated them in his heart, he really didn't want to help them. In this way, it would be good for the other party to stay in Shanwan to study in university. At least no one would come to rob the old house in the courtyard.

"Officer Jiang, Officer Jiang! A call came from Shanwan, saying that they have already done the work for the family of the number one scholar, and they have changed their report to Capital University!"

Just when Su Daqing was about to speak, two more people ran in and told the leaders of the admissions office the good news.

"It's settled! Haha, I knew they would succeed. Comrade Su refused to apply for the capital because he was afraid of being separated from his wife and children. Now that the state has solved the household registration problem and arranged a job for his wife, he is definitely willing to return to his hometown."

The leader at the head was very happy, and he recruited the number one scholar in the country, even if he had completed more than half of his task, because the weight of the number one scholar was too heavy.

"Work, arrange work for family members!"

Liu Shuanghong's expression was almost distorted. Isn't the daughter-in-law of the second child a country woman, she even got a job in the capital through the help of the second child. She is a native of the capital, and after so many years, she is still a temporary worker.

"Of course, we must ensure that Comrade Su can devote himself to his studies in the future, and arrange a job for his wife to ensure the logistics of their small family."

According to the leader, what they took out must not be temporary workers, because there are any jobs that are more stable than regular workers.

Liu Shuanghong's envious eyes were about to bleed, and she even said something irrationally regardless of the occasion.

"Leader, I am Su Aobai's sister-in-law. I have worked diligently in the textile factory all these years, and I am still a temporary worker. Look, can you also make me a regular worker?"

She was also in a daze, looking forward to turning into a madman.

Several leaders of the admissions office present looked at each other in blank dismay, and the director of the street who brought them over also showed embarrassment. How could there be such an insatiable person? Besides, Su Aobai had already gone to the countryside when Liu Shuanghong married you. What feelings.

Even if Su Aobai really has this face, wouldn't it be good for him to keep Hui Ze's own child, and give you this unemotional sister-in-law?

Su Daqing and Wang Juan originally wanted to scold Liu Shuanghong, but then they thought, what if the leader really agreed, after all, his son was the number one in the college entrance examination.

So the old couple pretended to be deaf and dumb. Anyway, when they were rejected, Liu Shuanghong was the only one who would be ashamed.

The atmosphere gradually stagnated, and the expressions of several leaders became more and more ugly.

"It's almost time, we should go to prepare for the contact work."

The leader at the head stood up and walked out of the yard, and another group of people followed quickly, ignoring Liu Shuanghong's words at all, and their intention of refusing was very obvious.

This family can't do it. It's a pity that a good comrade like Comrade Su, who values ​​friendship and friendship, has such a family like a group of leeches.

No way, Comrade Su will be doing scientific research in the future. What such comrades are most afraid of is that they will be exposed to this group of shameless family members who put their interests first. Comrade Su’s innocent heart cannot be stained by these people.

When they go back, they have to think of a way to make such a beautiful old comrade as little as possible in contact with this group of people.

So it didn't take long before Su Jihong, who worked in the Capital No. 2 Shoe Factory, received a transfer order, asking him to work as a small workshop director at the nearby Jin City No. 1 Shoe Factory. His wife, Liu Shuanghong, was also transferred there and arranged for her. I work in the cafeteria of a shoe factory, this time as a regular worker.

It seems that one is promoted, and the other has a position as a regular worker, but can Jin City compare with the capital, and can the shoe factory in Jin City compare with the Capital No. 2 Shoe Factory?

The couple are very reluctant in their hearts, but these days, they have to obey all orders, unless you don't want this job anymore, Su Jihong and Liu Shuanghong can only follow the organization's arrangement, and the whole family packs up before Su Aobai returns to the capital. Went to Tsu City.

There, Liu Shuanghong will live in the 50-square-meter tube house she has dreamed of, but she doesn't know that she will not be happy at this time.

*****

On the other side, Jiang Nianbai was also saying his final farewell to his little friend.

His father is going to the capital to study in university, and his mother is said to be going to the General Administration of Sports to carry a big bag. Both parents have left, and it is impossible for Jiang Nianbai to stay in his hometown alone.

Among the family of three, he is probably the only one who is most reluctant to part with this piece of land.

The day before departure, Jiang Nianbai saw off the last visitor at home, and he was still staring out of the yard, because the person he most wanted to see hadn't come yet.

Until the night was getting darker, when Jiang Nianbai was about to go back to the room in despair, he saw a handful of yellow hairs protruding from the low fence.

"Ernier!"

He yelled, Ernier couldn't hide now.

Standing on tiptoe, she poked out half of her face from the low wall.

"Come on, I've left the best for you!"

Jiang Nianbai beckoned to Ernier, because he wanted to pack lightly, he distributed some of his things to his good friends, but what he left for Ernier were not those toys.

"These are the textbooks my dad took notes from elementary school to high school, and this Xinhua dictionary. After you and my dad have learned pinyin, if you encounter a word you can't read, you can look it up in the dictionary. .”

Ernier is a girl with ideals and ambitions. Before Su Aobai taught the children in the village, Ernier would always come over to listen to the lecture after finishing her work. In order to listen more, she would even reduce her sleep time. It is to do some housework well in advance.

"You must study hard. My dad said that knowledge is power. When you have power, you can defeat everyone who bullies you!"

Said, Jiang Nianbai patted the thick stack of books beside him, but he handed over only one key.

"These books were either sold or burned when your parents saw them. I'll give you the key to my house. From now on, you can sneak over here while others are not paying attention."

This is the ancestral house of the Jiang family, and Jiang Yingzi doesn't plan to sell it. She will have to come back to visit the family's grave after Qingming. This will also make it easier for Ernier to have a quiet place to study.

In winter, every finger of Ernier was swollen into radishes. Now that the weather is getting warmer, those chilblains have faded away, leaving only ten fingers as thin as chicken feet. But because of overwork, such thin fingers There are also raised joints on the head, which are bone lesions caused by overwork.

Ernier took the key from Jiang Nianbai, because she kept her head down, Jiang Nianbai could only see her withered and yellow hair and two round curls on her head.

She squeezed the key in her hand tightly, her eyes were red and hot.

At this moment, Er Ni'er swore in her heart that she would let Xiao Bai get her soft rice in the future!
