Tie Jun knew that his mother was telling him what he said, and he really wanted to tell his mother that he would not go anywhere and stay at home with his mother, but when he thought about the backlog of goods, he felt anxious.
"Mom, I'm not your child. Why don't I come back and stay with you every day?"
Seeing that Tie Jun was in trouble, Chu Yao quickly smiled and helped her husband to come to the rescue.
"Yes, and me, Mom, don't you call me Xiaoya? Why don't you care about me and my sister-in-law when my brother comes back?"
Han Yu also came to help. The old lady glared, raised her hand and slapped Han Yu.
"Damn girl, can't you just complain a little bit?"
"Hehe, okay, okay, you let my brother rest for a while, and then you train him hard, and we promise not to help, right, sister-in-law?"
"Well, I won't help!"
Tie Jun came to his senses, pulled his mother to sit on the edge of the Kang, and said with a smile: "Mom, in the past two days, I have applied for a phone, so that you can call whoever you want!"
"If you don't pretend, it's all long distance and expensive. Besides, how old are you, a cadre, and you still pretend to be on the phone?"
Tie Jun scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. It was true. In these days, installing a phone is really not something you can do if you want to.
"Why can't you pretend?"
The door curtain opened, and Lao Tie walked in with a loud voice, carrying a dog-skin hat, blue cotton-padded jacket, black cotton trousers, and felt-soled shoes. He looked more like an old farmer than a worker.
“How many cadres can you get with a broken phone?
Can I be a level 8 welder?
Humph, you still look down on the big brother the worker?
Let me tell you, the factory director has told me many times that he wants to install a telephone in our house. Do you know that I don’t care?
I will notify the factory office in the afternoon and quickly pull in the phone line!"
After Lao Tie finished speaking, he glanced at Tie Jun and grinned.
"You brat, you're back. Your mother talks about you every day. It's almost annoying her to death!"
"Hey, I'm not coming back!"
"As long as you can!"
After receiving a lot of bullshit from the old man, the old lady stood up and retorted.
"Hey, sister, my brother-in-law is really good at heavy machinery!"
He didn't even notice that there was someone behind Lao Tie. Hearing the sound, Tie Jun was startled.
The uncle hunched over the door curtain, followed by the aunt, carrying a bag in his hand, but he couldn't see clearly what was inside.
"Uncle-in-law? Aunt-in-law?"
After confirming that it was the aunt and his wife, Tie Jun called out with a question mark on his face.
"Looking at you like that, why are you so surprised?
Is your father that crooked?
If you're wrong, you're wrong. I want you to mind your own business. I've grown my legs and my mouth. Why don't I just come and apologize?
Your father came to visit and apologized. What are you doing to your relatives? It’s not embarrassing!"
Seeing his son's surprised expression, the old man tried again.
Can I apologize?
Tie Jun was stunned and couldn't help but stand in awe of his father. He was as shocked as seeing the iron tree blooming and the river flowing backward.
Before going to Beijing, Tie Jun talked to Lao Tie. As soon as he mentioned his aunt, he was slapped twice, and he didn't dare to mention it again. Unexpectedly...
"Dajun, let's not talk about the past. Look, what did my aunt bring you?"
The aunt limped into the house and raised the bag in her hand.
"Hmm...pig intestines!"
"Hahaha, my eldest nephew is so smart, he guessed it right right away!"
"Dajun, I know you are coming back today. Your aunt got up early to collect the pig's blood and poured it in now. She said this is the best thing for you!"
"Auntie, thank you! Hehe, dad, you are so handsome today!"
Tie Jun took the bag and thanked his aunt, and did not forget to praise Lao Tie.
There were two more people in the house, and the house became more lively. The big tabletop was also moved out of the warehouse, and there was a lot of laughter in the outer room, just like the Chinese New Year.
As he was busy with work, the door curtain was lifted again, and Jianguo walked in carrying Liu Wenhua in a wheelchair, followed by Jianjun, Jianshe, and Aunt Liu.
"Haha, the head of the Tie Group is back, and us soldiers are here to drink too!"
"No longer called peanuts? Peanuts are very good. Your dad and I will think of you as soon as I eat peanuts. Why do I feel like I am calling this Tie Shi an old lady?"
"Old Tie, you are really uneducated. The Tie family represents your Tie family. You dare to name it like this, which shows that Tie Jun has the idea of honoring the ancestors."
Tie Jun didn't say a word. The two of them started to fight in the outer room, and someone shouted again outside the door.
"Hey, hey, help me lift the curtain!"
It was Gao Xiaoyan's voice. Jianshe turned around and lifted the door curtain, and Gao Xiaoyan's little head came in, her little face turned red from the cold.
"Tie Jun, you are back after death. If you don't come back, these willow roots will be eaten by cats."
Gao Xiaoyan was holding a small bucket in her hand, with fish swimming in it.
"What do you mean?"
Tie Jun was confused and pointed at the small bucket.
"What do you mean? My sister-in-law said that you love fried willow roots the most. I raised them specially. Why don't you thank me!"
Chu Yao covered her mouth and laughed, Gao Xiaoyan raised her face, very proud, Tie Jun understood, this silly wife was using him to trick other people's little willow roots!
"Thank you Miss Fourth, you will know who your favorite is after a while!"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I hate it, Xiaoyan, come here, sister-in-law, tell you slowly!"
After glaring at Tie Jun, Chu Yao took the small bucket and pulled Gao Xiaoyan into the outhouse.
The fish with willow roots are the sweet memories of Tie Jun and Chu Yao. The poor boy fried the willow roots and made the silly sister happy and happy.
"Come on, come on, find a place to sit!"
After Lao Tie spoke, everyone sat down separately and chatted away.
When the banquet was about to start, Lao Scar and Sister Wang came, carrying a large sack and saying that they had asked someone to groom the roe deer.
There were too many people to sit down, so Jianmin also put the small kang table. Jianmin, Han Yu, Gao Xiaoyan, and Chu Yao got on the kang and sat down around the small kang table.
The rest of the people sat around the big round table. Lao Tie took out the Huangtai wine sent by Tie Jun, opened two bottles, and the aroma filled the room.
As per the old rules, Lao Tie respectfully offered wine in front of my mother's portrait, then turned around and waved his hand, Jianshe and Jianmin poured wine for the two tables.
Seeing that the wine was full, Lao Tie raised his glass.
"It seems that it's time for my old man to take over. My son's appeal is stronger than mine. When he comes back, the house immediately becomes lively!"
"Dad, please don't leave it alone, otherwise we will lose our way, right, Mom?"
Tie Jun quickly interrupted Lao Tie, he was only over 50, how could he be so old?
"Who knows, everyone is so happy, why do you still have to hand over the class after saying this? What do you have at home?"
The old lady was talking so enthusiastically, Chu Yao and Han Yu covered their mouths and laughed, and the old couple started pinching each other again. Why did they look so warm?
"What's the point? Have some backbone! Okay?"
Lao Tie's face turned red. This may be because he is poor and has a bad temper. Instead of gold mountains, he needs iron bones!
"Well said, come on, Brother Tie, just say this with some backbone, we respect you!"
Liu Wenhua raised his glass, and everyone followed suit. The old man was moved and his eye circles were red.
"Oh, I'm getting old. What are you doing with a glass of wine? I think of my mother sharing the porridge..."
Lao Tie choked up, seeing all the pictures in front of his eyes, sewing and sewing, how could it be that in a blink of an eye, all five children had grown up!
