Today is the 27th of the 11th month of the lunar calendar, and the Chinese New Year is just one month away.
Yi Chuanzong dragged the little lazy pig up from the bed. Unhappy Lou Xiao'e naturally did not tolerate him, and the couple fought for a while.
After Lou Xiao'e finished arranging her clothes, she looked at him and just tugged at him twice, giving him a helpless look. Then she reached out to help him adjust his collar, tugged on his shoulders, patted his front and back with her little hands, and mouthed
Nagging is also inevitable.
"Liu Guangqi is getting married today, and so many people are watching. You know that I am mostly pretty, but how can I let myself be so sloppy? The second uncle is so nice, but he still wants to compare with when we got married, you..."
What should I do if my wife talks too much? Of course, I should shut her mouth.
If you can’t learn from your aunt, you will age quickly!
Nestling in Yi Chuanzong's arms, Lou Xiao'e muttered, "Don't be ridiculous." Then she asked softly, "How much of the etiquette should we follow today?"
Yi Chuanzong touched the flesh on his lower back and felt that he was a little fatter than before. He was still in good health.
"If it's a matter of a few cents at most for others, the second uncle went to exchange for food stamps before, which will definitely make everyone full. I think it's just one yuan. After all, I eat so much, one yuan is not enough, but the uncle's side
He should be more relaxed, so it’s even, we won’t take advantage of this person.”
Lou Xiao'e nodded with deep understanding, as long as the second uncle is a decent person.
Far away, he was picking up people with chicken feathers as arrows. Yi Chuanzong was certainly not afraid of him, but he also didn’t want to cause trouble for himself. Wouldn’t it be nice to have that time to go shopping with your wife on the street?
When he got close, he had to bow his head and serve him. Yi Chuanzong was not happy with it from the bottom of his heart. On the surface, it was okay to say a few nice words.
Usually, Yi Chuanzong was not far away from the second uncle, and he was very polite on the surface, but in fact he did not take advantage or suffer any loss. Lou Xiaoe also learned eight things from marrying a chicken, marrying a dog, and following a dog.
"How long are we going to hug?"
After speaking, Lou Xiaoe's little head rubbed against her broad chest.
Yi Chuanzong looked at the slightly gloomy sky outside and said, "It's so cold, wouldn't it be comfortable for me to hold you?"
Lou Xiao'e bit her lips and said with an unhappy look: "No, I just think we shouldn't go too late, otherwise the neighbors will call me a goblin." She stretched out her hand and pinched the opposite waist.
She became angry when she thought of this. Yi Chuanzong was like a child who wouldn't grow up. She didn't listen even though she said it many times.
In the end, the man looked a little thinner, and the woman looked a little fatter, and the neighbors started gossiping.
Yi Chuanzong smiled. He was really his fault. It was very cold in winter. Although he could withstand it and was wearing a cotton-padded jacket made by his aunt, how could he be warm and comfortable under the quilt?
The problem is that this person can't just sleep. It's very boring after going to bed early in the winter. The couple is under the same bed again, and the feeling comes after waiting.
"No, what they said is not accurate enough. Sometimes you are a goose spirit, sometimes you are a tiger spirit, and your gender is female."
"Yi Chuanzong! Don't think I can't pinch you while wearing a cotton-padded jacket!"
"Don't make trouble. The weather is bad today, the sky is dark, and it's getting late. Let's go there quickly. I'll take a look at the stove!"
Yi Chuanzong dodged and ran to the iron stove to the west of the door. Because he bought it new, the surface still shone with metallic luster, which meant that there was a lot of carbon ash on the stove and it looked black.
Of course Lou Xiao'e would not let him go like this. Even if Yi Chuanzong changed to briquettes, she would reach out and pinch the soft flesh on her waist, but there was a layer of big cotton-padded jacket between her, so it was difficult to pinch the flesh.
Since Yi Chuanzong put on his cotton-padded jacket, he was no longer afraid of this move. He let Lou Xiaoe pinch her while he changed the briquettes leisurely, without even feeling the pain. If he took off his clothes, he would be even less afraid.
He is invincible now!
As a senior fitter, he had very steady hands. He used iron clamps to completely remove the burned briquettes from the stove, and put the still burning briquettes into his eyes one by one. He slept early yesterday.
Liang has just replaced one, and it is enough to press a new briquette now.
Seeing Lou Xiao'e's angry look, Yi Chuanzong quickly held hands and walked out. When he got to the street outside, his temper was successfully sealed.
Both of them had taken leave today and had a wonderful breakfast at the uncle's house. The family of four walked towards the backyard talking and laughing.
When Yi Chuanzong got married, he lived relatively close to the place. In order to increase his popularity, the first uncle asked him to hold the ceremony in his new house in a separate courtyard.
Liu Guangqi's house is located in Xuanwu District, which is relatively far away. It is troublesome for neighbors to run back and forth.
The second uncle also wanted to compare, so Liu Guangqi got married in this courtyard and held a wedding banquet in this courtyard. In fact, the wedding room was similar to the one in his hometown, so there were relatively few opinions at this time.
Yi Chuanzong grabbed Lou Xiao'e's right hand with his right hand and put it into the pocket of her coat.
Before they passed the moon cave gate, several boys ran out chattering. Liu Guangfu and Li Heng were at the front, followed by the two boys from Uncle Ma's house in the backyard and Yan Jiekuang, and Bang Gang and the other boys were at the back.
"Master! Master!"
"Where are you boys going?"
Liu Guangfu stopped immediately and replied obediently: "I'm going to see if the new sister-in-law is here!"
Mainly because I want red envelopes. Yi Chuanzong sent them when he got married, and these guys all remembered them.
"Brother Chuanzong! Sister-in-law Xiao'e!"
"Uncle Chuanzong! Aunt Xiao'e!"
Yi Chuanzong gestured with his head, "Go ahead, it's almost time."
As soon as the two of them passed the Yue Cave Gate, they saw Qin Huairu smiling and chatting with the first man and the first mother.
After seeing the two of them, a trace of envy flashed in her eyes, and then she said sweetly: "Master, aunt, you two are so happy these days. Look at the love between these young couples, you can't bear to let them go."
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at Yi Chuanzong and retorted on the spot, "He, he has to force himself towards me. Didn't you do some work at the Lingong Institute before? Are you asking for leave today?"
When the eldest mother and the first uncle saw the young man chatting together, they didn't stop any longer and turned around and walked towards the second uncle's house.
Of course, Qin Huairu could tell that Lou Xiao'e was duplicity, and the smile on her face continued, "Yes, the yard was busy today, so I just took a day off."
The Jia family's money is designated to be in the hands of Jia Zhang. How could she let a daughter-in-law take care of the money?
Whether it was Jia Dongxu's previous savings, work injury compensation, or donations in the yard, Qin Huairu just took a look at it.
Mr. Jia Zhang has money but doesn't want to spend it. Life is tight these days. Even if she spends money to buy some delicious food, there is a high possibility that she and her grandson will eat it secretly.
Qin Huairu also wanted to have a good meal. Even if it was mostly cabbage in winter, there must be meat involved in things like marriage, and she could get some meat.
Lou Xiao'e nodded, she almost understood Qin Huairu's situation. The two families usually ate across from each other, and she would sometimes send some food over. Yi Chuanzong hadn't seen his experienced baby for some time.
Turning her head and seeing that Yi Chuanzong was still here, and still looking at Qin Huairu, Lou Xiao'e felt very dissatisfied, twisted her body and bumped him with her shoulder, opened her mouth and said fiercely: "Don't let go yet.
Me! Let’s chat with you gentlemen!”
"I'm afraid you're cold, so I'll warm your hands!"
'When I hugged you, you were quite happy. Now you are opening your mouth like a tigress.'
Yi Chuanzong naturally pulled out his hand. He had just been studying postpartum recovery. Qin Huairu had lost a lot of weight compared to before. Her face was fleshy on her cheekbones, and she had small dimples when she smiled. She looked very delicate.
Although he likes Lou Xiao'e who is slightly chubby, he is fat in the right places. If he really gets too fat after giving birth, he will definitely take his wife to exercise and lose weight together.
But now that he had been discovered, he would not risk his life to continue his research. He held his sleeves with both hands and walked inside. The winter in Sijiu City was a little colder, and a large cotton-padded jacket was not as tight as a down jacket.
"Here comes the ancestral lineage."
A middle-aged man with broad shoulders and round shoulders greeted with a smile, and his voice was very rich.
Yi Chuanzong smiled and nodded, "Uncle Niu, are you also asking for leave today?"
There were originally eight people in the No. 3 Steel Rolling Mill. After Xu Damao was fired, there were seven more: the first uncle, the second uncle, Yi Chuanzong, Yan Jiecheng, Sha Zhu, and the rest were Uncle Niu and Uncle Li from the front yard.
.
This Uncle Niu is the strongest besides Yi Chuanzong, and is even taller and stronger than the second uncle. Otherwise, he would not be able to withstand Aunt Niu's beating. His brain reaction is slower, and he can work for a long time, but he is only a third-level fitter.
.
Uncle Niu said without restraint, "Yes! That fierce woman at home took away my drink money just to deal with her."
Yi Chuanzong's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he glanced back and forth. After seeing no sign of Aunt Niu, he felt a little at ease. As expected, people who can withstand beatings like to tell the truth.
"Uncle, I'm going to take a walk inside first."
"Go! Let's talk when we come out."
Gu Yu
What a joke! How much more resentful would it be to have him spooned after being beaten?
How shameless would it be if Lou Xiao'e learned to hit people with a rolling pin?
"Third aunt."
"Aunt Shan."
He was greeted all the way in.
A red silk cloth was hung at the door of the second uncle's house, and a big red flower was fastened in the center of the door. There were also many 囍 characters posted on the inside and outside of the door. On the window next to it was a set of worshiping heaven and earth.
It does seem to be a lot more exciting than he was back then.
Yi Chuanzong was looking outside the door when the second uncle walked out of the house.
"Here comes the ancestral lineage."
The second uncle was neatly dressed, but his speech was not as natural as that of Mr. Niu. He did not speak in an official manner, and his demeanor and movements were also very high-profile.
Yi Chuanzong smiled cheerfully and said, "Yes, you put on quite a show inside and outside the house, much better than when I got married."
The second uncle had previously made arrangements for Liu Guangqi's marriage in the courtyard with great fanfare, making it clear that he wanted to compare with each other.
He wants to get married, and he also wants to join in the excitement. First, he will show off and admit that he is inferior, otherwise the second uncle will prepare a fight and keep dragging him to compare and tease him.
Later, their family will have a feast happily! Don't let it affect their mood.
Besides, what's the point of setting up such a scene? It won't be deserted without even a single person in the future?
Thinking of this, Yi Chuanzong's face looked a little strange, as if now was the peak moment of the second uncle's family.
None of the three children came back, and the worst one was Liu Guangqi. He had been spoiled since he was a child, and he was pampered but not filial.
No matter how many reasons he has, whether it is for his children or his wife, he is not even as good as Xu Damao in this regard.
At least Xu Damao still knows how to go home during the Chinese New Year. When one of the two elders in the family dies, he can wake up. This shows that his parents are still very important in his subconscious. It takes a few hard falls to calm down.
And in terms of cruelty, Liu Guangqi learned a lesson from the second uncle! This man could really be so cruel that he would never see his parents again.
"Um!"
The second uncle nodded with satisfaction. Just now, he was praised by the first uncle in the house in front of all the neighbors.
He had been preparing carefully for so long, just to have face in front of people in the courtyard!
Suddenly, the second uncle's arrogance lowered a little. He stretched his head and leaned over. He still spoke in an official tone but was much more friendly, "Preaching the ancestral line. Let me ask you something."
Yi Chuanzong raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised, and replied with a smile on his face: "You tell me, I'll just listen here."
The second uncle thought he was apologizing, raised his hand to pinch his chest, and then asked: "I heard that you know Director Xing of the Dongcheng Cultural Bureau?" After saying that, he looked over with burning eyes. A district
Director, how old is this official?
"Hey, what do I care about? I just have a brief acquaintance with someone's relative, and it's considered a meeting in person. If you want to say that I know someone, that's a bit too much. They don't even know my name, so they just look at me when they meet.
Look familiar and nod."
Yi Chuanzong opened his eyes and played carelessly. He had gone to the Cultural Bureau once before to arrange for Sister Hua to go to work. He originally wanted to treat the leader to a meal, but he was pushed away.
He didn't force anything, he just wanted to express his gratitude.
The atmosphere of the exchange between the two was relatively pleasant. After all, the uncle still loved his nephew. With Zong Lie's relationship, the sister came to talk about it in person, and he didn't put up any airs with him. Real leaders are closer to the people.
At that time, Liu Guangqi happened to see him. This guy was a clerk in Xuanwu District. After he was promoted to a higher level, he began to be responsible for the communication work of various bureaus. He was just doing errands. When he saw Yi Chuanzong chatting with Director Xing, he was shocked.
Some time ago, Yi Chuanzong went to the second uncle's house, and he just said that he knew a clerk. How could he know a clerk? He knew the director of Dongcheng Cultural Bureau, and he seemed to have a good relationship with him?
At this time, everyone in the unit could be called a director, and Zong Lie and his second uncle were actually deputy bureaus, just municipal deputy bureaus. There were one chief, three deputy and four directors of the Forty-Nine City Cultural Bureau, corresponding to XC District, DC District, and Xuanwu District
, four major districts in Chongwen District.
Yi Chuanzong didn't know it at first, but he only got an idea of it when Sister Hua went to work there.
Later, Liu Guangqi quickly handed over the work and waited outside. As soon as Yi Chuanzong came out, he was in a hurry.
At that time, Yi Chuanzong also fooled him like he did today. Now that he has told the second uncle about it, it seems that Liu Guangqi doesn't believe him at all.
But the second uncle believed it.
After hearing Yi Chuanzong's explanation, the second uncle straightened up and regained control of his posture.
He didn't think that a former fool could know such a big shot.
"Zhuan Zong, you performed well in the factory and are very promising. Keep working hard in the future."
The second uncle said this with some bitterness. I heard that Yi Chuanzong had accepted three apprentices, and they were well-known in the Eryi workshop, and their names were mentioned by the factory leaders.
Even if he wanted to make a comparison, he couldn't say a bad thing. He could only encourage and teach like an elder in order to maintain his face.
"What you're saying is that if I don't understand anything later, I have to ask you."
Yi Chuanzong still had a smile on his face. The tasks he was taking now were more difficult, and they were not just fitters, but also involved other welding, forging and the like.
This is paving the way for his promotion to the eighth-level fitter. Now he has an apprentice. It would be weird if he didn't practice.
Maybe there will be a chance to ask for advice from the second uncle later. After all, what he is good at is playing with hammers, and it would be good to do some exercise to exercise his body.
The second uncle nodded in a high manner. Yi Chuanzong's attitude had always made him very satisfied. He was always respectful and never rude. This must be a sign of respecting him from the bottom of his heart. Why didn't he come to drink with him these days?
?
That night Yi Chuanzong came over, and the three of them drank very happily, and the topics they talked about were very meaningful.
Now Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are more obedient than before, and they seem to be a little smarter.
Liu Guangqi is also getting married. Not only is he promising outside, he is also very concerned about him at home.
The two of them hadn't exchanged a few words before Liu Guangfu shouted from a distance.
"Here comes the bride!"
The weather is so cold now, and we are in a courtyard. We are determined not to wait at the gate. In other words, a group of boys will join in the fun because of the trend of red envelopes.
Liu Guangqi's job was to wait for the bride to arrive. He would shout something in the yard, and then all the neighbors would come out to join in the fun. The wedding was a spectacle that only a large number of people could watch.
The uncle and others also walked out of the house, and everyone was waiting on both sides of the backyard.
Yi Chuanzong waved his hand to Lou Xiao'e, which meant that the beast had returned to its place, come to his arms and stop chatting with Widow Qin.
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him, said a few words to Qin Huairu and walked over.
Yi Chuanzong touched the tiger's paw and looked towards the door. He had no impression of Liu Guangqi's wife, but he was more familiar with the wives of Liu Guangtian brothers. The two women looked like relatives.
Accompanied by the cheers of the children in the yard, Liu Guangqi took his wife's hand and walked toward the second uncle's house surrounded by everyone's blessings.
Yi Chuanzong looked at her calmly. His daughter-in-law's face was slightly square and three-dimensional, and her facial features were regular. Her appearance was very popular now, and her family conditions should be good.
His eyebrows are short and sparse, the ends of his eyes are hung up, his nose is narrow and his pores are small, his lip frenulum is very obvious, and the smile on his face is not that warm, and he seems a little reserved.
'It looks good, but why does it feel a little cold?'
Yi Chuanzong muttered in his heart that a newlywed couple over there had already walked over. He greeted them with a smile and congratulated them, "Brother Guangqi, happy marriage."
"Happy marriage." Lou Xiao'e also agreed.
Liu Guangqi's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw him, and he said enthusiastically: "I'm busy right now, let's have a couple of drinks at noon!"
Of course Yi Chuanzong would not refuse, and said with a smile: "Today is your special day, you will definitely want two more drinks!"
Liu Guangqi nodded, held his wife's hand and continued walking forward.
His somewhat cold wife looked over with a look that seemed to be asking. Liu Guangqi moved his eyes from side to side, indicating that he would wait a moment.
