On New Year's Eve, most factories and shops were closed, and there were very few pedestrians on the street. Apart from the children running wildly all over the street, there were basically no adults in sight.
Chu Heng's overloaded bicycle looked very awkward on the road and was the focus of the children wherever he went.
There are so many delicious things.
So much so that several children chased him away uncontrollably. They didn't even know what they were running for, but they just wanted to chase him.
Chu Heng didn't bother to pay attention. He huffed and puffed as he stepped on the heavy car. After a while, beads of sweat began to fall down.
Ni Yinghong is very familiar with this scene...
After riding for half an hour, he finally arrived at Chu Jianshe's house. He pushed the cart into the courtyard with great effort. After stopping the cart in front of his second uncle's house, he shouted into the house at the top of his lungs: "Chu Qi! Chu Xue! Come out and move things quickly."
!”
"boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of his second uncle's house was opened from the inside, and the two little cats ran out of the house happily.
The brother and sister were waiting for their elder brother after breakfast, hoping to get the New Year's money to buy firecrackers as soon as possible.
Chu Qi was older and ran the fastest. He was the first to arrive and asked, "Brother, have you brought cheese?"
Most of the cheese Chu Heng brought to Chu Xue last time went into Chu Xue's stomach. He didn't even eat a few pieces, he kept thinking about it.
"How dare I not bring what you want? I'm not telling you, you're already thirteen now, why are you still thinking about that little food?" Chu Heng rolled his eyes at him and stuffed the elbows and ribs into his hands.
: "Hurry and move into the house."
"Alas." Chu Qi smiled happily and carried the thing. After all, it was a boy. The twenty-plus kilograms of things didn't feel heavy at all. He ran back to the house like a monkey in the sky.
"Brother, what should I take?" Chu Xue stepped forward quickly. She didn't want to be outdone by Chu Qi.
"This is for you." Chu Heng gently stuffed sugar cubes and tea leaves into her, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
"Yeah." The girl also ran away with her things.
The second aunt also came out at this time. She hadn't seen her for a long time, and her whole appearance had changed. She used to be a standard yellow-faced woman, with a gloomy face, full of resentment, and always looked like she was world-weary.
Look at me now, my face is rosy, my skin is shiny, my brows and eyes are full of youth, and my whole body is full of vitality.
It seems that it has been well nourished during this period.
Seeing that her nephew had brought so many things, she didn't bother to say anything anymore. She went up and took a cloth bag and asked, "Did you give something to your father-in-law?"
"How could I forget this? I sent it to you a long time ago." Chu Heng took the remaining things and followed his second aunt into the house.
When he came to the living room, his second uncle was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed and reading a book. He had changed a lot. He was full of energy. A compelling confidence spread from his waist to his whole body. There was an inadvertent look in his eyes.
The bright light shining through her eyes could make the second aunt's legs tremble.
"Second uncle, what are you looking at?" Chu Heng put down his things and ran to Chu Jianshe in a hurry.
"Just reading blindly." The second uncle closed the book, his face was calm and confident, and he shouted to the second aunt with confidence: "Chunxiao, hurry up and make a pot of tea."
Before, the second aunt had to put her hands on her hips to scold him, but now she was like a little sheep, obediently picking up the teapot and going to the kitchen.
At this time, Chu Jianshe suddenly lowered his voice and said to his nephew like a secret agent: "That wine of yours is pretty good, do you have any more? Can you get me a few more pounds?"
"How many pounds?" Chu Heng looked at him in astonishment: "Why do you want so much?"
"That thing costs a penny a day. One kilogram will last you a hundred days. How many kilograms is a lot?" Chu Jianshe said angrily.
"Do you drink it every day?" Chu Heng's expression became strange. This old house is on fire. Are you so addicted?
"Do you care?" Chu Jianshe glared at him, raised his hand and lightly slapped the back of his head, and asked urgently: "Is there any more?"
Ever since he realized the benefits of tiger penis wine, his second uncle suffered from a severe phobia of insufficient firepower. He was afraid that one day the fire would fail and he would return to the pre-liberation area.
"Yes, yes, I'll get you five pounds later." Chu Heng nodded in amusement.
"Hold on tight." The second uncle was relieved.
At this time, Chu Qi and Chu Xue ran over, stood in front of him, bowed their hands, and said with joy on their faces: "Happy New Year, brother!"
"good!"
Chu Heng smiled and took out two banknotes of two denominations from his pocket, giving one to each person: "Save some money."
"Thank you, brother." The brother and sister smiled so hard that their eyes disappeared. In this era when pocket money is measured in cents, two yuan is a big bill.
"Just indulge them." Chu Jianshe looked on with a smile and had no intention of stopping him. It's a good thing that the elder brother loves his younger siblings.
The second aunt came in with a teapot at this time. When she saw that Chu Heng actually gave their brother and sister two dollars, she went up and snatched the money, put it into her pocket, and said seriously: "Mom, save it for you first. When you grow up,
It’s for you.”
"Oh Mom, please leave some for us, we still need to buy firecrackers."
The two little ones suddenly howled and clung to the second aunt unwillingly.
"Do you need these to buy firecrackers?" The second aunt took out a hair from her pocket and stuffed it into Chu Qi's hand, waved her hand and said, "Don't bother me, or I'll give you two a good New Year."
After doing this for a few seconds, the rich brother and sister took the money and left with sighs, like eggplants beaten by frost.
Chu Heng couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Your childhood and my childhood seem to be the same...
After the two children left, the uncle and nephew were drinking tea and chatting in the living room, while the second aunt was busy cooking the New Year's Eve dinner alone in the kitchen. She didn't complain at all, but rather enjoyed it.
In the face of terrifying firepower, all contradictions are paper tigers and Lu Shuren.
The two of them had not been chatting for long when the second uncle suddenly noticed that Li Fugui, the deputy director of the steel rolling mill, suddenly came to visit. He was holding a net bag with a bunch of shellfish in his hand. When he entered the house, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Construction, construction!"
Jianshe, look what good things I have brought to you."
"I'm not deaf when I call you a motherfucker!" Chu Jianshe laughed and scolded as he stood up and greeted him.
Chu Heng also hurried over. This old boy will be an absolute big brother in the next few years and cannot be neglected. He walked forward with a smile: "Happy New Year to Uncle Li."
"Hengzi is here too. Happy New Year, happy New Year." Li Fugui gave the net bag to Chu Jianshe, smiled, reached into his pocket and took out five yuan, and handed it to Chu Heng: "New Year's money."
Chu Heng waved his hands dumbfounded: "Come on, how old am I?"
"You are a junior no matter how old you are, take it quickly." Li Fugui couldn't help but put the money into his hand.
Chu Jianshe then took out a big abalone from his net bag and asked him, "What is this?"
This seafood doesn’t look serious!
"That's abalone, it's very nutritious." Li Fugui introduced proudly: "This was given to me by my old boss. In the early years, only those high-ranking officials could eat it."
