"Army, don't blame mom for nagging, these things are not something we ordinary people can enjoy.
Your dad and I are both at this age, what will happen if we wear it or not? Who can we show it to?
You and Chu Yao are both 25, and your father and I are worried every day. We can't even afford a bride price, and we can't ask anyone to propose marriage.
It's okay for you to be a boy, but Chu Yao, a big girl, has been waiting for you for many years, so your parents shouldn't be in a hurry!
Even before your grandma passed away, she couldn't worry about you two. The look in your father's eyes was heart-wrenching.
Look at you now, why are you spending so much money buying these?
Mom really likes this shawl. If you go sell those gold ones to me, your dad and I won't be able to take them out without you.
That day Da Zhuang talked back to your father, saying that Brother Tie Biao was rich, so what were you afraid of?
Dajun, Mom wants to ask you, can we use your eldest brother’s money when you marry a wife?”
"Mom, I understand what you and my dad mean, I can make money by myself!"
"That's right. For so many years, Biaozi has been doing somersaults alone. Is it easy to make money?
Alas! Your father owes mother and son a debt of gratitude!
You can’t see it, but mom knows it in her heart. Your dad is always lying there talking about those things in the past. He regrets it!"
Tie Jun sighed, took his mother's hand and sat down, pulling on Da Zhuang who came closer.
"Mom, has my father mentioned my aunt?"
"Why don't you mention it? That's another problem of his. Your current little uncle is the one who got it fixed.
In fact, he was right, he was doing it for your aunt, but who would have thought that if they divorced, Lao Wang would hang himself!
Don't worry about it anymore, your aunt is doing very well now, and I don't have anything to worry about."
"Mom, let my dad treat my aunt and her family to a meal!"
"Brother, please pull me down! Have you forgotten how the eldest sister was kicked out?
The second brother helped the eldest sister deliver mushrooms once. What will happen to our father when he comes back?
After all, you are the one who is most suitable. Don’t worry about anything, just learn.
When my aunt was hospitalized, I accompanied my mother to visit her secretly. When I came back, my father almost ripped off my skin.
Our dad has just felt relieved for a while, I think you should just save it and don’t mention anything about my aunt’s family again!”
Da Zhuang stretched his head over and enlightened Tie Jun like a little adult. Tie Jun reached out and patted him on the head.
"Why are you so scared now? We are united, but we are still afraid of him alone!"
"I......"
"Your elder brother is right. Mom is the only sister. It's impossible not to have contact with her. Mom doesn't want to be so secretive anymore.
In the army, I’ll count my mother, and then I’ll call Chu Yao, Xiaosi.
Da Zhuang, and you, must be of the same mind as mom, do you hear me?"
"That's necessary! I'm not afraid of anything. He's just like tickling me now, and I don't even blink an eye."
"Go, don't talk about your dad like that in the future. You have all seen that your dad hasn't been angry in a long time.
Your dad is in a difficult situation. Although he has a bad temper, your dad is not confused and does things openly!"
Tie Jun knew it well, but his mother had forgotten about one person, his eldest brother Tie Biao, who was definitely a heavyweight.
"Mom, I have to involve my eldest brother in this matter, we can definitely make it happen!"
"Yes, why did I forget about Biaozi? Haha, that's all. Army, just go ahead and spread your wings!"
"Well, I'll start it, let's go together and see what my dad can do!
Mom, let me tell you a good thing. This time I went to the Soviet Union and I earned the money from the bride price.
I had dinner at Chu Yao’s house at noon, and I also invited Chu Yao’s parents to come to our house for dinner in the evening.
Mom, we have to take the initiative tonight. Look, I have a bankbook and I can afford to marry Chu Yao."
Tie Jun opened his handbag and took out a bankbook to show to his mother. He did not dare to say more for fear that his mother would be more worried.
"200,000? Oh my God, the army, this money came too fast, don't break the law!"
Tie Jun had already guessed this reaction and quickly explained: "Mom, don't worry, it's absolutely reasonable and legal."
"Brother, you bought a big brother!"
With his strong hands and quick eyes, he pulled out the big brother and played with it in his hands.
"Well, it's convenient to contact the business.
Da Zhuang, plug it in and charge it first, it’s broken, it makes a lot of noise, it’s not clear at all, and the battery is not disabled.
Oops, I almost forgot, I have to contact Dabao for a new job."
"Dabao?"
"Well, Chu Yao and I went to see my aunt. Today's pork and ribs were given by my aunt."
After Tie Jun finished speaking, he called Li He from the quilt factory. The phone rang for a while and it was Li He who answered.
"Hello, who's there?"
"Third uncle, I am Tiejun!"
"Tiejun? Are you back?"
"I'm back. A man named Meng Tianbao will come to see you tomorrow. You can arrange some work for him. I'll be there later, and we'll chat again when we meet."
"Okay, see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow!"
Without saying a few words, Tie Jun hung up the phone and threw it to Da Zhuang. Da Zhuang looked at Tie Jun with admiration and ran to his room to charge.
"Dajun, where did your third uncle come from?"
"Oh, Jia Guangming's third uncle, the director of the quilt factory, is now processing clothes for me."
"Mom, I really don't understand, how can you suddenly become so powerful!"
"Haha, Mom, even if I am the Monkey King, I can't escape from your Tathagata palm."
"Look, am I handsome?"
Da Zhuang ran back and walked back and forth in the room, "handsome!" Tie Jun and his mother laughed together.
Listening to the chatter in the outer room, Tie Jun and his mother learned what Anna and her grandfather did. After hearing this, his mother had no reaction, and Tie Jun was a little disappointed.
"Wait until your dad comes back and ask him. There aren't many eighth-level welders in the country, so it shouldn't be difficult to find them. I'll go check on them."
Mother pushed the door open and went out. Tie Jun wanted to go out too. Da Zhuang grabbed him and listened nervously outside.
"What a secret, so mysterious!"
Tie Jun stretched out his hand to close the door tightly and asked Da Zhuang with a smile.
"Brother, does that Soviet doll have a partner?"
"Anna?"
"Um!"
"First, I don't know. Second, you give me good training. Third, the fifth sister in your heart is gone?"
"Ah, where did you want to go? Brother Jia came over just now. He asked me to ask."
"Jia Guangming is here? What is he here for?"
"Send me a washing machine. I said my eldest brother asked him to give it to me."
"Huh? Why did eldest brother ask him to send it? How come they are together?"
"Come on, I'm fine, what? Why do you keep asking questions?"
Da Zhuang reached for a Soviet watch, made a gesture, and left.
Tie Jun is a little uncomfortable. He knows Jia Guangming very well. He has too many tricks. No, he will have to ask his elder brother carefully later.
Thinking of this, Tie Jun packed his things and put them into the big box, then opened the door and came out to watch the fun.
There was a fire on both stoves, and while the meat was stewing, Chu Yao was shaking a large spoon in the pot.
After taking a look, Tie Jun exclaimed: "My dear, can you still hang up?"
"No nonsense! Is there any Northeastern cook who doesn't know how to cook? Do you know what I want to do?"
"Sweet potatoes with pulp?"
Chu Yao shook her head.
"Potato?"
"no!"
"apple?"
"Forget it, I'm sorry you can't guess it, just wait and eat!"
Tie Jun was speechless and asked himself for a long time, where are you playing?
"Jun, come here!"
After Erya left the room opposite, my mother turned it into a living room, bought a small modular cabinet, and placed a large TV on it.
It turned out that those old photos had been rearranged, and at this moment, Anna and Liuba were standing below.
Tie Jun was a little embarrassed. Could it be that he saw himself wearing crotchless pants and asked curious questions?
After walking through the door, Tie Jun breathed a sigh of relief. He put away all the revealing photos and changed them to photos of Lao Tie in all his glory.
Anna was referring to a photo taken by Lao Tie of model workers, with the leader sitting in the front row and a ferocious-looking grandma in the middle.
Anna was referring to this old man. Tie Jun was puzzled. This was so unlike him. He was a fairy and a yaksha!
"look down!"
Anna was very anxious and pointed at the photo again. Tie Jun squinted and took a closer look.
"Huh?"
Tie Jun's pupils dilated instantly. He stood on tiptoe and looked again. This grandma was holding a bag in her hand, hanging in front of her legs.
The photo was taken outdoors, at the entrance of a building. It must have been a bit windy at the time, and the people sitting in the first row had their trousers stuck to their legs.
This grandma's bag is also attached to the back, but it forms an oblique angle, indicating that this grandma's calves are either too thin, or...
"Prosthetic limb?"
Tie Jun blurted out.
"Hmm! I looked around at the photos of your home earlier, and I always felt that there was something wrong with this photo, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
I came in just now to take a look and found out that there was something wrong with this grandma’s legs, so I asked you to come and see her!”
Tie Jun nodded and looked at the row of words above: The winners of the First Three Eastern Provinces Workers Skills Competition took a group photo
