Time is the most ruthless and fair thing in the world.
Whether you are a beggar in rags or a wealthy plutocrat, you all have to bend down in the face of time.
After October passes, it is November.
November has just entered, and the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became lively.
The residents seemed to be celebrating the New Year, with happy smiles on their faces and expectations in their eyes.
Early in the morning, Li Donglai had fed Wei Dong and Wei Guo and was about to ride his bicycle to go to work. As soon as he left the house, he saw Aunt Wang carrying a large bag of cloth and talking and laughing with the Liu family's daughter-in-law.
Seeing Li Donglai, they both stopped and said hello: "Master, you have to go to work so early."
"I have to have a meeting today, so I got up a little early. Where did you come from?"
Aunt Wang smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face smoothed out, and she patted the package: "Ahem, aren't we going abroad? Let's use some cloth to make clothes for our two children. It doesn't matter if we wear tatters at home, we can't.
Go out and throw people away from our courtyard, right, sir?"
The little daughter-in-law of the Liu family stared with big eyes: "Brother Donglai, could you please respond to the above and send this year's cloth coupons in advance so that I can also make good clothes for my man."
Like later generations, Chinese people would rather eat chaffy vegetables by themselves than be looked down upon by outsiders.
Li Donglai nodded: "This is a good idea. When I get to the factory later, I will call the comrades in charge of the coordination work of the ministries and commissions. In addition, it is already December. Yesterday, I received a notice from the ministries and commissions, asking us to
Early in the morning, we gathered at the gate of the courtyard, and then took a special plane to Sweden.
I've been quite busy with work these two days, so I'll ask you two to go door-to-door to inform them.
"
"Okay, okay, we promise to complete the task." The Liu family's daughter-in-law promised repeatedly. As the meat speaker in the courtyard, this task was tailor-made for her.
Just as the two wanted to leave, they were stopped by Li Donglai.
"The Zhou family, the Hu family and Uncle Qu's family, please don't notify these three families. They have not passed the review by the ministry."
"Okay...Okay." Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Li Donglai also felt sorry for these three families. They had no particularly big problems, but the requirements for going abroad in this era were very strict, and he had no way to change the decision of the ministry review team.
Riding his bicycle to the laboratory, Li Donglai told the researchers about the departure on the 5th at the morning meeting.
Then he called the ministry's phone number and reported the residents' request to receive cloth tickets in advance.
In this era, cloth is a scarce resource.
Residents of the capital can receive a certain amount of cloth coupons every year based on their population.
However, cloth tickets are usually issued by the sub-district office at the end of the year.
After asking for instructions from the leaders, the comrades of the ministries and commissions took into account the actual situation and agreed to issue cloth tickets in advance to the households on the list, and in double copies.
Since it was distributed in advance and could not be obtained through the sub-district office, it had to be collected directly from the ministries and commissions, so Li Donglai asked Team Liu to do it for him.
After returning to the courtyard after get off work, Li Donglai packed up his bicycle and opened the door. Yu Li was already busy cooking.
Li Xiaomei was playing lively with Wei Dong and Wei Guo. Li Donglai touched their little heads one by one and walked over to take the spatula from Yu Li's hand.
"Daughter-in-law, I will help you cook, and you go and sound the gong to notify the residents of the meeting tonight."
"Okay." Yu Li wiped her hands, took out the broken gong from the cabinet and walked out.
Listening to the "bang bang bang" sound coming from outside, Li Donglai understood a little bit why every time there was a meeting, it was the first aunt or the third aunt who knocked on the gong.
As a senior official, going door to door to inform residents is a shame!
Although the residents did not know the content of the conference, they guessed that it was related to going abroad, and they suddenly became excited.
For a time, the air in the courtyard was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Even the Jia family is no exception.
But it's not because the Jia family wants to go abroad, after all, they are not qualified.
But because Banggeng brought back his girlfriend.
Although Banggen is not yet an adult, Qin Huairu has long been worried about his marriage.
After all, Bangge is disabled and has no formal job, so it is really difficult to find a wife.
Therefore, Qin Huairu told Bangge early that if she encounters a silly girl, she should quickly trick her back.
Of course, in Qin Huairu's view, how can love be called cheating? It is called love and we are willing.
Seeing Banggan coming back with a pretty girl, Qin Huairu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth and greeted her quickly.
He blamed Banggeng and said: "You are serious. You want to bring your friends back. Why didn't you tell your mother earlier that she could go to the vegetable market to buy some meat. Girl, sit down quickly. Banggeng, you really don't even have a wink. Hurry and give it to the girl.
Pour some water."
After a lot of work, Qin Huairu took a closer look at the girl that Banggeng brought back. Although she had an average appearance and a bit big mouth, she was fair and fair, covering up all the ugliness. She was also tall and tall, at least 1.5 meters tall.
, so joy comes from my heart.
"Girl, what's your name and where do you live?"
The girl opened her mouth and was about to answer when Banggeng said impatiently: "Mom, why are you asking so many questions? Why don't you hurry up and cook?"
"It's true, you kid, my mother likes this girl, so what's the point of asking a few more questions?"
"No one in our compound knows that you talk a lot. Stop asking and hurry up and cook! I'm tired after a long day and I'm almost starving to death!"
...
Seeing the two people quarreling, Huang Yanling's face was expressionless, with a trace of pride on her lips.
The reason why Huang Yanling is willing to make friends with Bangge is not only because Banggen is willing to spend money on her, but also because Banggen has said that after getting married, Huang Yanling will be in charge.
Qin Huairu had no choice but to stand up and help them cook.
"Come, Yanling, let me show you my home."
Banggan called Huang Yanling to the back room, pointed to the furnishings in the house, and said proudly: "Have you seen Yishui's new furniture? After we get married, it will be yours. And the radio on the table, how about it?
Be generous."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Huang Yanling’s eyes fell on the clothes on the bed, and she frowned vaguely: "Banggen, this room is your mother's room, right? Where is our room?"
Woolen cloth"
"It's my mother's room. When we get married, this room will be given to you." Banggeng said grandly.
Huang Yanling curled her lips: "I think your mother will definitely not agree."
After just one meeting, Huang Yanling felt from Qin Huairu's eyebrows and the tone of her voice that she was not an easy person to talk to.
Banggeng waved his hand: "Don't worry, my mother loves me the most. As long as I say it, she will definitely agree."
Huang Yanling nodded: "I heard that you have two younger sisters. Where will they live when we get married?"
"You said those two losers, let them squeeze together for my mother." Banggeng was a little grateful for Jia Zhang's elopement, otherwise Jia's family had at least two rooms and couldn't accommodate so many people.
Huang Yanling: "That's not good. Three people live in one room. It's so crowded."
Banggan waved his hand: "What's wrong? I'm the only male in the Jia family. The Jia family will have to rely on me to continue the family lineage in the future. They will get married sooner or later. It's good if I let them live here! It pisses me off.
I'll kick them out now!"
It has to be said that Banggeng fully demonstrated his so-called masculinity at this time, and Huang Yanling nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, this is what you said. If you can't do it, don't blame me for being rude. My brothers are not easy to mess with."
Hearing Huang Yanling mention her brothers, Bangjie swallowed, shrank her neck and did not dare to say anything.
Huang Yanling has three brothers, all of whom are green men in the capital. They ride bicycles all day long and carry bicycle chains to fight everywhere.
Huang Yanling became even more excited when she saw Bangjie's cowardly look. She sat by the bed and looked around the room.
I have to say that the furnishings in Jia's house are really good, with desks, wardrobes, lamps... all the furniture is available.
Only missing...
Huang Yanling raised her head and looked at Banggeng: "You don't seem to have a bicycle at home."
"Ah?! Yes, no, but we have already saved enough money."
"Okay, wait until tomorrow, and you will take me to buy a bicycle."
"..."
Banggeng would like to throw himself out of the bag now, who asked you to be so generous?
Although he had fifteen yuan a month, once the money was given to him, he would spend it all with his gang of bad friends within a few days, leaving no money at all.
Fortunately, there is also Qin Huairu.
In Banggeng's heart, Qin Huairu is omnipotent.
Like the Yan family, only one person in the Jia family has a salary, but the Jia family has new furniture, and they can eat white flour steamed buns for every meal, and occasionally meat. Look at the Yan family, it's all black steamed buns all day long.
If Yan Jiefang eats one more peanut, he will be yelled at by Yan Bugui.
Why
Isn’t Qin Huairu here?
Bangge has developed a habit since he was a child. When he encounters something he can't handle, he just needs to go to Qin Huairu.
"Well, Yanling, you sit here for a while, and I'll help my mother cook. You know that I am the most filial person."
Filial piety Huang Yanling almost laughed out loud, but she didn't reveal the secret. She was going to order the bike anyway.
"Go ahead, I'll read a book. You know, I like studying the most."
As she spoke, Huang Yanling picked up a first-grade Chinese language textbook and started reading.
Banggeng saw that the book was held upside down, and he wanted to remind her, but was afraid of making her angry, so he shook his head and left the room.
In the kitchen, Qin Huairu hummed a ditty and happily worked on dinner.
Last time she asked Aunt Wang next door to introduce Banggeng to her girlfriend.
Aunt Wang disliked the poor reputation of the Jia family and felt that any girl she introduced would be cheating others, so she directly rejected Qin Huairu.
After Qin Huairu returned home, she was so angry that she didn't eat for two days. Although Banggeng's reputation was a little worse and his body was disabled, he was a man who wanted to do big things.
If a girl marries a good guy, she will definitely enjoy happiness in the future.
Qin Huairu cursed Aunt Wang for two whole months. It was not until Jia Zhang's elopement that she turned the target of her curse to Jia Zhang.
It's okay now, Bangge has a girlfriend by himself, and he won't even need the matchmaker gift in the future.
Qin Huairu felt proud and luxuriously cooked a pot of rice porridge and took out the bacon hidden in the cupboard.
While washing the bacon, Banggeng came out of the house.
"mother."
"Banggan, good job! By the way, what's the girl's name, where does she live, and what does she do?"
Banggeng asked Qin Huairu for help, so he could only introduce his girlfriend's situation.
"Her name is Huang Yanling. She lives in Shoupi Hutong and has no job."
"No job." Qin Huairu paused while washing the bacon.
Now that the Jia family is having a hard time, she originally wanted Banggeng to find a daughter-in-law with a high salary, preferably the daughter of a leader.
Bangge will be able to get some help if he wants to do big things in the future.
However, Qin Huairu didn't say anything more when she thought that Banggen was very capable and that even if her girlfriend didn't have a job, she would still be able to do great things in the future.
She put down the bacon, walked to the main room and looked into the back room. She saw Huang Yanling lying on the bed and asleep. Qin Huairu then returned to the kitchen and carefully closed the door.
He pulled Banggeng into the corner and asked in a low voice: "Banggeng, have you planted the flag yet?"
"Planting the Flag" Bang Gang was confused.
"Hey, you kid, why are you so honest!" Qin Huairu rubbed Banggeng's head and explained, "It's just to capture the position and plant the flag."
"...Not yet. Huang Yanling is a traditional girl with a very strict family tradition." Banggeng blushed rarely.
"Oh, you kid, you are so stupid." Qin Huairu pressed on his forehead, "A girl only belongs to you if you plant a flag and listen to your words.
You also know that our family is not well-off. Not long ago, your grandma eloped with a wild man and stole all the family's savings.
As long as the flag is planted, Huang Yanling's family can still ask us for betrothal gifts
"
Bangge is a good boy who listens to his mother's words. He nods in agreement frequently: "Yes, yes, I want to plant the flag."
Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and thought of a good idea: "Banggen, I remember there is a bottle of Laofen wine in our box. Silly Zhu brought it back from the steel rolling mill. Take it out and Mom will cook two more dishes.
, when we eat later, the two of us will get Huang Yanling drunk, and then you can plant the flag."
When Banggeng heard this idea, he was so ecstatic that he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of foam. However, Banggeng seemed to be awesome, but he was actually a coward at heart.
He thought for a moment and said uneasily: "What if Huang Cuiling goes to the police station to sue me after she wakes up?"
"You kid is really stupid. When a woman encounters something like this, how dare she expose it and be so shameless?"
"Yes, yes, mother, you are so smart."
...
The two of them were conspiring in a low voice when a voice came from the main room: "Mom, what kind of food did you cook? Why is it so delicious!"
Xiao Dang and the little Sophora japonica spent the afternoon outdoors. At this time, they were so hungry that their front lines pressed against their backs. Their noses twitched, and when they smelled the fragrant smell of rice, they pushed open the door and broke into the kitchen.
"Brother, you are back"
Banggan saw Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua and shook his head at Qin Huairu: "Mom, my two sisters are at home, how can I put up a flag?"
"What are you saying, brother? What are you talking about?" Xiao Dang was confused.
"Xiaodang, come here."
Qin Huairu called Xiaodang aside and said in a low voice: "Xiaodang, your brother's girlfriend is here. You and Xiaohuaihua are going to stay at Auntie's house today."
After Yi Zhonghai was imprisoned in a fence, Auntie had been living alone.
As the goddaughter of the Yi family, Qin Huairu often chats with her eldest mother.
