Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

Chapter 63

Views:

Xu Nannan had never been so embarrassed in his two lifetimes. Holding the small paper bag in my hand, I felt a little hot. Thinking of Li Weimin's pitiful appearance just now, she thought for a while, and forgot to be a good person.

Moreover, I have been getting along with Li Weimin for a while, he is a very popular person, and he looks very sincere, which is quite in line with the current principle of picking a partner.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Zhu Fang had ordered food and waited at the old place. Seeing her coming, she waved.

Xu Nannan went to grab a meal and sat down with him.

Zhu Fang buried her head in a few mouthfuls of food, "Why didn't you see Xiaoman?"

Xu Nannan picked out the rice absent-mindedly, "My grandma said that in the future, someone will cook at home, and let Xiaoman go back to eat, so as to replenish her body." In fact, it was her side, Grandma Yu wanted her to go back to eat, and then she thought again, saying mine There are many young men in Shanghai, and they don't have a chance to meet at work. Maybe they can meet each other at dinner, so they just let her eat in the cafeteria.

She felt that the reason why she was so affectionate today must have been affected by what the two elders had been talking about in front of her in the past two days about finding a partner. Seeing who talked to her, it was as if she was looking for a partner. .

Zhu Fang looked at her enviously, "You said you, the hardships you suffered in the past, but now you have found it all. My poor little one can find someone to love me anytime."

When Xu Nannan heard this, he looked at her strangely.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhu Fang bit her chopsticks.

"Then you don't want people to hurt you, here, isn't this coming?"

With a smile, Xu Nannan reached out and stuffed something into her hand.

"Give it to me?" Zhu Fang suddenly became happy, picked it up and looked at it. Xu Nannan also went over to take a look. A pair of hairpins, wrapped in red plaid cloth, was considered a fine hair accessory at this time.

"Nannan, I knew you were the best for me."

Zhu Fang was so happy that she didn't even eat the rice, so she took it and put it on her head.

"Oh, don't worry." Xu Nannan hurriedly stopped her. This thing can't be worn casually. If this is worn out, it means agreeing to have sex with the other party.

"Aren't you repenting?" Zhu Fang pouted and frowned.

Xu Nannan rolled his eyes, his kindness was really unrewarding, "It's not mine. When I first came out, Director Li in our office asked me to bring it to you."

"What?" Zhu Fang threw the hairpin on the table in fright.

"He, why should he give me something? I don't know him well." As he said that, his face also began to turn red.

Xu Nannan couldn't help feeling that this era is so innocent. Sending a hairpin is a show of love. In the future, sending a diamond ring may not necessarily be true love.

"I don't want it, please return it for me." Zhu Fang buried her head in her meal without even glancing at the hairpin on the table.

"Really don't want it?"

"don't want!"

Xu Nannan gave her a thumbs up. Although she will have to face Li Weiming's emotionally hurt face when she is sent back later, but in comparison, her relationship with Zhu Fang is naturally better. It is a good thing that Zhu Fang can keep the things given by the man without being greedy for cheap.

After going to work in the afternoon, I secretly returned the hairpin to Li Weiming, and then made a sorry expression.

Li Weiming's eyes suddenly turned red.

Xu Nannan shivered, and quickly sat on the desk to look at the procurement plan. Well, after the house is settled, she still has to go on business.

After a while, Li Weiming went out, and Sister Liu came over, "You won't really have sex with Xiao Li, right?" She blinked her eyes with an expression that you understand.

"No," Xu Nannan said seriously.

"Actually, Xiao Li is a nice person. If you really have ideas, it's good. It's just that there may be more brothers in the family, and parents won't be able to help at that time. But the young couple live a good life."

Sister Liu tried her best to sell the honest people in the department.

Xu Nannan, "..."

After Li Weiming and Sister Liu made such a fuss, Xu Nannan felt that he had to find a chance to go on a business trip, and he had to go on a business trip. Meat is only available on business trips.

Because of this, she deliberately avoided Li Weiming's eyes all afternoon, and after work in the afternoon, she went to find Zhu Fang, planning to go home for dinner together.

After waiting for a while, the girl came late, and glanced at the procurement department, "Well, that person didn't respond."

Xu Nannan raised his eyebrows, "Now your eyes are still red, what, your heart softened?"

"Not at all."

Zhu Fang blushed, and walked towards the gate with her bag on her back. Xu Nannan followed with a smile. Anyway, she won't deliberately match this matter up, but she can help Zhu Fang take a good look at Li Weiming.

After experiencing the Wu Qing incident, she was really afraid of honest people.

Walking to the gate, Director Zhu and Wei Guobing were already waiting.

The two of them didn't know when they went to prepare, but they were still carrying things.

Xu Nannan said anxiously, "Uncle Wei, Aunt Zhu, what are you doing? I invite you to eat, and you still buy something. I'm so embarrassed. What if I want to invite you next time?"

"Look at what you said. If you and Xiaoman were the only ones in your family, I would have left empty-handed immediately. But don't you have elders in your family? We must not make people think that the people around you are rude." Zhu The director laughed.

Wei Guobing also said, "There are not many things."

Zhu Fang was stunned, "I didn't prepare anything." Then she ran to Director Zhu and stood beside her, "I'm living with my aunt."

Director Zhu patted her on the head, "Go away, you're talking nonsense."

Zhu Fang insisted on holding her hand.

Now that this is the case, Xu Nannan can't say anything more. I bought everything, but I didn't allow it to be taken, which also made Aunt Zhu and the others look bad.

When a few people left the mining area, a man on a bicycle and a little girl passed by them.

The car was riding quite fast, Director Zhu and the others didn't see who it was, but Xu Nannan saw it, and the little girl behind was Xu Hong.

Xu Hong also saw Xu Nannan and his party.

Seeing that they were carrying things in their hands, they guessed that they were going out to eat. Thinking of the aggrieved life he lived at home, Xu Nannan was very upset that he could go out with others to eat delicious food and drink spicy food.

She twisted in the back seat, and Liu Hongjun, who was riding in front, stopped impatiently.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Hongjun said unhappy.

"It's okay, I just saw that broom star, and I'm in a bad mood." Xu Hong pouted.

Liu Hongjun immediately looked around, "Where is it? Let me see what your broom star looks like."

"Leave early." Xu Hong snorted. She didn't let Liu Hongjun see Xu Nannan. That damned girl didn't know what to do, her skin was getting whiter and her temperament was getting better and better, just like the old man said, her face grew.

With Liu Hongjun's virtue, what if he changes his mind after seeing it

"When are you taking me to your house?" She suddenly said a little annoyed. Now the situation at home is getting worse and worse, and she is a little uncertain about what will happen in the future. It's better to settle down now. In the future, she will never have to look at the faces of her uncle and uncle's mother.

When she becomes the daughter-in-law of the deputy director of the county's armed forces department, she will not be able to walk sideways in this county in the future. The whole old Xu's family had to support her.

A hint of impatience flashed in Liu Hongjun's eyes, and he said with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry, didn't I tell you, my dad has had some changes in his job recently, and it's the critical time."

"What's the change? Aren't they all vice ministers? Can they still be changed?" Xu Hong was suddenly taken aback as she spoke, and said pleasantly, "Could it be that they want to go up?"

If she really became the head of the county's armed forces department, wouldn't she follow suit

The difference between the positive and the negative is huge.

Liu Hongjun proudly said, "No, my dad has the most senior qualifications in this county. Apart from him, no one else can take this position. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Xu Hong asked nervously.

Liu Hongjun shook his head, "It's nothing, unless the higher-ups transfer people in from outside, but they probably won't." Don't transfer people, just let his father get promoted, and he won't have to worry about it for the rest of his life.

Xu Hong touched her heart. I also secretly prayed in my heart that her future father-in-law must be promoted.

"Then we can agree, as long as your father's matter is settled, I will go to your house to see your parents."

"Got it, got it. Never did I listen to you, you asked me to send you back this time, didn't I also send it?" Liu Hongjun said perfunctorily. I feel funny in my heart. A girl from the countryside is not bad at all, why is she so confident that she can come to their house. Even if he agrees, his mother can beat it out with a broom.

But in the whole class, this girl is the only one who can play, so that's it for now.

When they arrived at the mine, Xu Hong got down from the back seat of Liu Hongjun's car with a proud face. He waved to him shyly, and waited for the man to ride away on the bike, and then walked briskly to the mine.

She grew up in the mine and knew quite a few people. Some people saw her coming back on a bicycle, and they asked her about her relationship with that person intentionally or unintentionally.

The bike is amazing, and the bike looks pretty good. I heard that there are two Phoenix bicycles in the entire county, only on the side of the government compound.

I didn't see clearly just now, I don't know what kind of bicycle that kid was riding.

But no matter what, they still have cars.

The sensation of Xu Hong returning by bicycle is no less than that of returning to a remote town in a BMW in the 21st century.

Xu Hong also learned to be smart this time. When people asked her, she didn't say anything, so she blushed shyly. Let people guess.

When they arrived at the dormitory, Xu Meizi packed up her things, and when she came back, she put them on the ground and told her to go back to Xu Jiansheng's house.

"Sister Honghong, it's not that I don't keep you, it's that the mine doesn't let you in. You also know that this is a dormitory for singles. Without approval, you can't live here. I have said a lot of good things for you. "

When Xu Meizi said this, her face was a little cold. After living here for a few days, eating and drinking her, I'm still not happy to leave. If it weren't for her not being able to look good now, she would have torn her face a long time ago.

Xu Hong touched her braid, which was tied with a small bow with a colored headband.

"Sanya, do you know why I just came back?"

Xu Meizi frowned.

Xu Hong smiled, "I came back by bicycle. Phoenix bicycle. It's the one in the county party committee compound."

Xu Meizi pursed her lips, feeling a little helpless. "Sister Honghong, I'm worried that if you don't go back like this, my aunt will think that I'm telling you not to go back. What if I call again, my injury from last time is still not healed."

"What are you afraid of? She's just the maid of the old Xu's family. She can still eat you? I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? Even if I want to go back, I won't go back by myself unless she comes to pick me up. Sanya, we have grown up I will miss you when I grow up. If I get better in the future, can I forget you?"

Xu Meizi smiled, pulled Xu Hong and said, "Look at what outrageous things you said, we still pay attention to these? I don't really want to let you go, but I am worried about my aunt. If you are not afraid, then I am not afraid either." I'm worried. You go wash your face first, and I'll get some hot water later."

As he spoke, he pushed Xu Hong into the house, and went to the gate of the mine with the water bottle to spare the way.

Xu Hong sat in the room, leaning on the bed and humming. They have lived together for so many years, who still doesn't know who's virtue.

The other young women in the dormitory saw her coming back and frowned. Xu Meizi was too weak, why did she ask her sister to come back again. upset.

Xu Nannan also felt troubled.

Who can tell her that uninvited visitors are also popular these days

For this treat, Grandma Yu planned to invite a few nearby families to come over, except for Li Jinhua's family.

Their house is also close, but Yu Donglai doesn't want to see their family. After all, last time Li Jinhua saw Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman cleaning the house, and after knowing that the house was given to their sisters, she ran to the house on purpose. Donglai went to the house to make a fuss, which shocked the old lady. So just don't invite me this time.

The others were quite polite, knowing that Yu Donglai had recognized two granddaughters, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they had a kind face on their faces.

In addition, Wei Guobing and Director Zhu are both quite talkative people, and they are both employees of the unit. They have confidence, and when they talk to others, they speak clearly and logically. The atmosphere at home is quite good.

Xu Nannan helped serve the dishes and dumplings.

Steaming hot.

Yu Donglai hurriedly yelled for everyone to eat together.

It doesn't matter what you say, just sit down and talk. Just as everyone was preparing to eat, Li Jinhua also came, bringing her three-year-old grandson with her.

Seeing her enter the door, Yu Donglai's expression turned a little pale. Grandma Yu tugged at the corner of his clothes, telling him not to make trouble at this time. Otherwise it will make people laugh.

For the sake of the old lady and the two granddaughters, Yu Donglai held back his breath.

"Sit down, sit down and eat." Grandma Yu greeted with a smile.

Li Jinhua smiled and said, "Sister Yu, I came here this time, and I quarreled with you because of the last time. I was deceived by lard that time, and I misjudged the wrong person. I thought that sister Nan Nan You lied to Old Yu, so worry about him."

Even Yu Donglai couldn't say anything if he didn't hit the smiling face with his hand.

Grandma Yu said with a smile, "It's nothing, we are all neighbors, and we need to take care of each other in the future, don't get into fights over these things."

"Who says it's not? I've been looking at Sister Nan Nan for a while, and I think it's good. I'm also sticky and happy when I come here today."

"I have known Sister Li for so many years, and today I know that Sister Li is a kind person." Zeng Weiguo, an electrician in Yu Donglai's factory, said with a smile.

This sounds a bit ironic.

After being domineering for so many years, why did it change today.

Xu Nannan knew about this person, and Yu Donglai introduced him to her just now, saying that if there is a problem with the electrical circuit at home in the future, he can find this general Zeng to work.

This is also the only one who doesn't miss the house.

Because he doesn't think about the house, and his position as an electrician is an important position in the factory, Li Jinhua can't even quarrel with him after saying this.

Li Jinhua pretended not to understand, "I used to be young, but now I'm old, so I see it." He looked at Nan Nandao again, "Nan Nan, when you have free time, go to our house to play. There are many people in the family. , it's lively."

Xu Nannan smiled.

No direct response.

As for going to her house to play, it's really unnecessary. How do you say that sentence, if you don't have anything to show courtesy, you can either rape or steal. What I'm talking about is this kind of person who is usually bad, but suddenly becomes better, there must be a reason.

Li Jinhua didn't care too much.

On the contrary, Zhu Fang winked at Xu Nannan, a little confused about what was going on. Why do you listen to the inside and outside of the words, there is a problem.

Xu Nannan shook his head. She actually guessed a little bit, it was for the house.

I don't know if it's for this house, or for the house where Grandpa Yu and the others live.

But it seems that Grandpa Yu hasn't said anything about giving up the house. How did she know.

Just as he was thinking, Yu Donglai had already had a drink with everyone, and then solemnly put down the small wine glass, "We have been in the factory for so many years, and everyone knows everything about our family. I have been lonely for half my life, and now I am finally happy." I have a pair of granddaughters. It can be regarded as a blessing to be old. This person is afraid of loneliness when he is old. In the future, we still want to live together."

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere at the dinner table changed.

Except for Zeng Gong, the others all looked at him.

The workshop director in the factory said, "Director Yu, where are you going to live?"

Yu Donglai smiled, "Don't call me the director of the factory, that happened 800 years ago, just call me Old Yu. Where to move here, it must be up to my granddaughter. They like the place where they live, so we moved here. The previous house is no longer there.”

Li Jinhua was also surprised, as if he had never expected to hear the news today, "Then Lao Yu, your house should not be kept, it is public property after all, it is not good to occupy it all the time, it will cause people to complain."

"I definitely won't keep this one. After all, I have lived here for decades, and now that I have moved out, I can't keep occupying the public property."

Hearing this, except for Director Zhu brought over by Xu Nannan, everyone's eyes became a little hot.

Old Yu used to be the deputy director of the factory. Although he had retired for many years, when the house was divided, it was actually divided according to the rank of the cadres. That house is two small rooms, and the location is good.

The others didn't react, Li Jinhua hurriedly said, "Old Yu, our two families have been friends for many years, and you also know our family's difficulties, this house..."

"Sister Li, who doesn't have difficulties, but yours?"

The director of the workshop said.

"That's right, there are many people who are in difficulty, so you can't just think about yourself." Old Liu, who was in charge of the warehouse in the factory, said.

Seeing that everyone was about to quarrel, Yu Donglai knocked on the table, "What are you arguing about? I invite you to come to dinner and see our granddaughter. I don't want you to quarrel. The matter of this house... I don't know. I'm ready to take care of it. I'm retired and don't want to take care of things anymore, and I respect the factory's decision."

Now everyone can't sit still. After eating the dumplings in the bowl in a hurry, he greeted Yu Donglai, and went out one after another. Even Li Jinhua didn't bother to eat, and ran away with his grandson in his arms.

On the way, her three-year-old grandson patted her on the shoulder asking for food.

Li Jinhua scolded, "What do you eat? After your stepmother comes in, you can eat whatever you want." Now the world is big and the house is the most important thing.

Everyone left, only Director Zhu and Mr. Zeng were left.

Yu Donglai smiled, "Well, it's quiet now."

Grandma Yu also laughed, "I still have some dishes to serve, so I can't sit still." Then she got up and went to serve the dishes.

Director Zhu glanced at Wei Guobing, and the two of them could see the way. Come on, this is not just a simple meal today, it is used by the old couple to set people up.

What a mature man.

Those people just now estimated that they were all staring at the house, but now the target has shifted after a meal. Isn't it quiet

Grandma Yu came out with pork stewed vermicelli.

There is quite a lot of meat.

"Eat, eat, eat, don't be polite. They are not outsiders." Grandma Yu greeted everyone to eat.

Zeng Gong was not polite, he clinked glasses with Yu Donglai, and took a sip with a smile.

Clink glasses with Wei Guobing again. Wei Guobing didn't care too much, and drank a little wine with him.

Instead, Grandma Yu pulled Director Zhu and Zhu Fang, and kept saying words of thanks. Speaking of which, the two of them took care of Xu Nannan a lot before, but in the future, Lao Yu's family will remember this kind of love.

Director Zhu smiled brightly, "Oh, ma'am, not only do you like these two children, but we also like them. If there were not many children in the family, we would have taken them home. Helping them is also voluntary. You must never That's it."

Grandma Yu smiled, "Hearing what you said, I feel that there are really many good people in this world."

After dinner, Director Zhu and the others will go back to the mine. It was also dark today, and there were not many street lights, so I had to go back as soon as possible.

After going out, the three of them walked on the road. Director Zhu thought of the two elders of Yu's family, and said to Wei Guobing, "Nan Nan adopted this family, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

Before, they were worried that Xu Nannan would have to bear the burden of two old people in the future, which would be a drag. It doesn't seem certain now.

Wei Guobing nodded thoughtfully, "It should be somewhat capable, or else two widowed and lonely old people would not be able to keep two good houses."

"By the way, speaking of this, I remembered it." Director Zhu suddenly slapped his hands, making Zhu Fang tremble with fright. "Gu, if you think of something, just say it directly, don't be scary."

"Don't interrupt." Director Zhu doesn't care about his niece now, squinting his eyes and said, "This happened many years ago. It is said that a couple even alerted the army and the county government in order to keep the house. Anyway It's quite a big commotion. It's not about the old lady of the Yu family, is it?"

Wei Guobing nodded, "I think it's quite possible."

Zhu Fang was confused, "Gu, is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"What do you think?" Director Zhu smiled.

Don't look at ordinary times, when something really happens, some relationships are better than anything else.
