The Chen family in Dajiao Village.
"Nian Nian, read the newspaper again." Qin Mian smiled and urged her husband to read the newspaper, but Chen Mian couldn't persuade her, so he had to read the newspaper again.
That was a report on a pearl farm.
Chen Mian said disgustedly: "You didn't appear in the newspaper, why did you read it? When can I see your photo in the newspaper?"
"When the reporter came, I was so scared to death."
The younger sister's pearl breeding factory has gained income, and Qin Mian has recently received a large dividend. The whole family is very happy.
Qin Mian was terrified when her younger sister invested so much money in the breeding factory. Now that she could earn the money back, Qin Mian's uneasy heart finally settled down.
Now a pair of sons and daughters have been admitted to college, and the younger sister's factory has also made money. The life of their family is really getting better and better.
"They all say times have changed."
Qin Mian has also changed a lot now, she felt that she should keep up with the trend of the times, so she also went to perm her hair, put on a Dacron dress, and now she wore a string of pearl necklaces around her neck.
Qin Mian always felt very uncomfortable when she put on the necklace, and would pull it off from time to time, which made her neck red.
"I know it's a necklace, but I don't know, I thought it was a pig's collar."
Qin Mian glared at her husband: "Look at what you're talking about? Are you a cultural person? Your words are too vulgar."
"My necklace doesn't look good?"
"It looks good, why doesn't it look good." Chen Mian looked at her gently.
"I'll get you a bunch next time."
Aunt Fu came to her house and gave him a lot of things. Seeing the pearl necklace on Qin Mian's neck, she immediately praised: "Oh, this woman wearing pearls is so beautiful!"
"Menglan said that these pearls are beautifying and beautifying, so wear them more often."
"Maybe we can all wear it in the future!"
Aunt Fu and Qin Mian looked at each other and smiled.
"This is the first batch of pearls, and there will be more next year."
"I heard that there are many factories around?"
"Yes, there are many more pearl farmers."
Chen Juanjuan and Chen Jinghua also saw the news of Nandao pearls in the capital. The siblings were very happy. The pearls raised by their aunt and mother sold for a lot of money! ! !
"Juanjuan, your mother and I sent you a lot of things."
Chen Juanjuan received her own things. Her mother and aunt brought her a pair of pearl earrings and many beautiful shell-carved hairpins. Chen Juanjuan put on the pair of earrings and put the hairpins on her head. The eyes of many people.
Chen Juanjuan was originally good-looking, but now in order to expose the pearl earrings, she deliberately pulled all her hair behind her ears. The pearls in the sun reflected strong light, and the beautiful halo attracted people's attention.
"Juanjuan, what are you wearing on your head? Such a beautiful hairpin, where did you buy it?"
"Are the earrings in your ears pearls?"
"It was sent from my hometown."
"South Island pearls."
"It's so beautiful, is there anything else? Can you give me, no, sell me a pair of these earrings?"
Chen Juanjuan showed a embarrassed look: "Not many, just this one pair, there are still a few such flower-shaped hair accessories on the head."
"We have such a good relationship, give me one!"
"There are only a few of them. I gave them to you. What should I do if someone asks me again?"
"You said you sold it to me."
"Is this made of pearl shells? It's so beautiful!"
…
At the end of the 1980s, Third Sister Lu gave birth to a boy in the hospital who weighed five pounds.
Lu Zongyi and his wife, and Lu Yan and his wife brought a few cubs to the hospital to see them. The Tiandourong sisters were very happy, "We are sisters now!!"
Lu Weizhou: "There is another brother."
Lu Weize: "Brother, you only have my younger brother, you have to be the best to me!"
"Supervise your homework."
Lu Weize: "... I don't want to be in the same class as you."
What homework he has, he can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from his own brother.
It's so troublesome to have an older brother, and the younger brother is not allowed to copy homework.
"You don't want to be in the same class with my brother, but you still have to be at the same table with my brother? Bad brother."
Comrade Lu was filled with emotion at the addition of another grandson. He thought that if he took a family portrait in the future, he would be able to make up twenty people.
Jiang Ping smiled and said, "Aren't there twenty in the last photo?"
"The child in the belly is also counted as one."
Old Comrade Lu: "..." That's exactly what he said.
Speaking of this, Qin Rou also remembered, "Zhouzhou and Jiaozi, before you were born, you followed your mother to the newspaper."
"newspaper?"
"That's right, in mother's womb, mother still keeps that newspaper. It's a newspaper from 1971..." Qin Rou remembered the pile of photos and various paper materials she had saved, Suddenly, she felt that the camera she bought that year was really worth it.
"Almost ten years."
As time goes by, the memories of the past not only remain in people's minds, but are also frozen in the photos.
Tear off the old calendar on the wall and replace it with a new one from 1981. A set of zodiac commemorative stamps was issued in January of this year. Qin Rou bought several sets and kept them. She also bought Reader's Digest magazines for her two sons. .
A reader's magazine is only three cents now, which is really cheap.
"Look more, little dumpling, and save your composition grades."
Now there are not only many newspapers and magazines on the market, but also many martial arts novels. In the past, these martial arts novels were circulated from Hong Kong Island. I heard that martial arts novels will soon be printed and published in China.
Qin Rou got two sets of martial arts novels to pass the time.
In addition to martial arts novels, there are also romance novels. After romance novels became popular, there are more and more girls with black long and straight shawl hair on the street. At first they had permed hair, but now they have long straight hair. Girls are yearning for it. Become a pure heroine.
Qin Rou also read a few romance novels of this era, the content is very old, the main characters are pure and unaffected, strong and kind female protagonists, her love with the male protagonist can break through all obstacles.
Compared with reading romance novels, Qin Rou prefers reading martial arts novels to pass the time.
The martial arts novels at home are only read by her and Lu Yan from time to time. Lu Weizhou likes to read popular science and science fiction books. My sister watched it together.
Sisters Doudou and Rongrong can now read a lot of words and count, and they like to pester their two elder brothers to play.
They prefer to fight with brother dumpling, because the eldest brother Zhou Zhou will teach them how to read and count, and there are many things they don't understand.
Hearing it in a daze, he was in a daze with Brother Jiaozi, Xiao Jiaozi hugged his younger sister with bean paste stuffing, thinking that they were the three troubled brothers and sisters.
Eldest brother Zhou Zhou smiled and watched the three of them play.
Dumpling suggested: "Brother, let's come to the player's bar together."
Lu Weizhou agreed, "Okay."
When the four of them get together, they can play any game.
Doudou said: "I want to be a grandfather."
Rongrong said: "Then I want to be a grandma."
Little Jiaozi said: "Then I want to be a big aunt."
Lu Weizhou: "...then what do you want me to be?"
As the eldest brother, he was speechless in the face of such a play.
Doudou said: "You are a father."
Lu Weize said: "You are my younger brother."
Lu Weizhou: "..." Is this why you want to be a big aunt
Comrade Lu Weizhou is now the appointed father.
Doudou: "I'm going to call Lao Wang, son, hug me!"
Xiaodoudou ran up to Lu Weizhou on short legs, and opened her arms to hug her.
Lu Weizhou: "..."
Lu Weizhou had no choice but to hug his younger sister in his arms. Doudou was very happy, smiling like a little fox.
Rong Rong ran to her brother Dumpling, "Brother, you have a baby in your stomach."
"Sit down."
Lu Weize: "..."
Lu Weizhou: "..."
The two brothers glanced at each other, and suddenly they didn't want to play house with their sisters anymore.
When Qin Rou and Lu Yan came back from running, they saw the four cubs at home playing house together.
The scene looked very warm.
Qin Rou wiped the sweat off her face, and said to Lu Yan with emotion: "Sisters and sisters are really happy to play together. Did you and your brothers and sisters do the same when you were young?"
"The age difference is not a few years old, so we can play together."
Doudou said happily: "Daughter-in-law, you are back!!"
Qin Rou: "..."
Lu Yan: "..."
Lu Weizhou coughed: "Now I am the father."
Lu Weize: "I'm an aunt."
Rongrong: "Mom is back, I want to be my good daughter!"
"It's so tiring to take care of my brother. You have to do this for a while, and you have to do that for a while."
Lu Weize: "..."
Qin Rou: "... What are you playing? Will Rongrong take care of my brother?"
Lu Weizhou said: "Playing house, Doudou is grandpa, Rongrong is grandma, Dumpling is aunt, and I am father."
Qin Rou: "..." My son and daughter really know how to play.
Lu Yan: "... Now that Mom and Dad are back, Zhou Zhou, change your identity."
Lu Weizhou: "I want to be a dumpling."
Lu Weize: "Then I will be Zhou Zhou, you go and recite my homework for me!!! Go and finish the composition that Jiaozi is going to write today!"
Doudou ran to Qin Rou's side: "I also want to be mother's good daughter."
"Well, well, mother's two good daughters."
Lu Yan interjected, "Don't you want Dad?"
"want!"
Several sons and daughters got together and skipped their days in the family building of the military academy. In May 1981, the first commercial housing complex in Guangcheng was about to open for sale.
Lu Yan and Qin Rou took their two children to buy a house.
At this time, there are quite a lot of residents in Guangcheng who come to see houses. The house price is 751 square meters, and a house of 100 square meters costs about 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. There are also many small houses of 50 to 60 square meters.
At this time, the house did not have the so-called shared area, and the area inside the house was the actual area.
So a house of fifty or sixty square meters is not bad.
"Do you want to buy a house?" There are quite a lot of people who come to see a house, but many are hesitant to buy it. Many people in Guangcheng have made a lot of money in the past few years, but this house, which costs tens of thousands, is really expensive to buy. Some heartache.
Lu Yan and Qin Rou were sure they wanted to buy a house, so they directly took the children to choose a house. It is currently an eight-story house. They chose one and discussed which floor to choose.
"I want to live higher!" Now most houses are short, and many people yearn to live in a tall building.
"Too high is not appropriate."
"Then the fifth floor."
They bought the first commercial house, the fifth floor, 110 square meters, with a down payment of 40,000 and a mortgage for the rest.
