Chapter 12 Revealing the Short
chatted with Chang Xianzhang for a long time, and when he went out, Chen Liquan looked at his pocket watch and it was almost eleven o'clock.
Fortunately, there was still some time before lunch, so the two of them finally went to Song Guofu's house again, handed over Moutai to his sister Song Pingping, who was on winter vacation, and successfully completed the task of the morning and returned home.
But when they enter the courtyard, guess what?
Next to the kitchen portals of the Su family, the Ding family, and the Bian family, there are all hanging a frozen leg of lamb and several catties of cavity bones and ribs under the eaves. It is like a scene where the whole hospital is rich in materials and preparing for the New Year.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan both laughed tacitly at that time. Needless to say, this must be the result of the exchange of goods between the various countries.
The cavity bones and pork ribs are definitely from the Hong family, and the leg of mutton for each family is probably brought back by Bian Jianguo and Su Jin.
As for Lao Ding's family, because their two sons both work in a pastry factory. must be the same every year, send a few catties of pastry dregs to each family, and two catties of flowering beans made by Lao Ding himself.
This is the deep friendship between the neighbors of the miscellaneous courtyard back then, and each family is very sincere. There is not much courtesy, the key is that if there is mine, you must have yours, and this mind represents the weight of each other's hearts.
However, when Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan finally came to the door of the house, the things hanging at the door of the Hong family's small kitchen were still a little unexpected for the two of them. Because not only did there be a leg of mutton, but there were also two silver carp and two pheasants hanging in addition.
As soon as the two of them entered the door, they realized that it was "Little Baizi" who came to give New Year's gifts.
It has been more than two months since they parted from Bincheng, and of course they are very happy to meet again, just in time for lunch, they all went to the table to eat and chat.
From the mouth of "Little Baizi", Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan knew that his family was doing well recently, due to Shou Jingfang's wonderful rejuvenation, his father's back injury had been greatly cured, although the old man could no longer be a "god slingshot", but now his life is basically no different from a normal person.
At the end of last year, the old man retired from the construction team with the hospital's certificate of inability to work completely. Now not only do they no longer have to endure hardships and sins, but they can earn 70% of their monthly salary and earn 30 yuan less, and their family's economic situation is much stronger than in the past.
As for the sister of "Little Baizi", Bai Yurong also has a happy event, not only has she just been rated as a third-level worker, but now she is also working with a technician who has just been assigned to the enamel factory. And both parties have already met each other's parents, and they are about to talk about marriage.
However, the only thing that annoyed the "little Baizi" was that the five hundred yuan he handed over to the family was always believed by his father and sister, and he did not dare to spend it, saying that he had to hear Hong Yanwu as a guarantee to rest assured.
Hearing this, Hong Yanwu was happy. Half-jokingly, he said, "This is called far fragrant and smelly, and domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers." Our family is like this, I would rather believe in outsiders than in me. ”
Naturally, his unconcealed words provoked his father, Hong Lu admitted that he was annoyed that he "exposed his family ugliness", and immediately paused the table with chopsticks and glanced at him.
Only then did Hong Yanwu realize that he had "committed two" and let the old man not be heard. As soon as he stuck out his tongue, he quickly diverted the conversation, saying that he would take the New Year's gift to the "little Baizi" house to see his father in the afternoon.
When I didn't want to eat and pack up my things and was about to leave, I asked Hong Yanwu to kick the two "wild men" at the bottom of the stairs in the morning, Bian Jiangong and Su Jin, who came to the door to play poker and chat.
And at this time, the image of the two of them has changed a lot, and it is even more interesting to watch. Because although their clothes were changed into ordinary cotton clothes, one of them shaved a big bald head. It's like two monks.
When Hong Yanwu asked, he found out that these two boys really didn't deceive, and they did provoke lice. All morning, I was busy burning clothes, buying insecticides, and went to the barber shop at the corner of the street to find a water master to shave my head.
Hong Yanwu was startled, and then asked, "Then have you taken a bath?" This is an important matter, don't invite our yard to catch lice with the two of you." ”
Su Jin hurriedly said, "I took a bath, but I didn't wash it happily, isn't it just in time for the festival, the bathhouse is overcrowded, and the "basket" can't be turned, and the second brother of the Bian family can't arrange it for us." So in the end, I took a big basin in the boiler room and made do with it. However, the second brother of the Bian family said, wait for the evening to get off work and open a pool of water for us to wash well, if you want me to say simply, we men will go to the bath together at night, and you will wash it again, or it will be bad to wash such a large pool ......of water."
When Hong Yanwu heard this, he said okay, turned his head and asked "Xiao Baizi" again, saying that if you are okay, I will go to your house to deliver something later, and then come back with us. As long as you don't dislike these two guys for being dirty, let's take a bath together at night, talk a little more, and you will go home tomorrow. ”
Of course, "Little Baizi" was happy and nodded immediately.
But these words provoked Bian Jiangong again. He pursed his mouth and said with disdain, "Hong Laosan, you don't want to squeeze people." If you go to Inner Mongolia, you'll know, what is a lice, and every day under the quilt, there's nothing to do? It's good to be able to sleep. Do you know what it means to not itch when you have lice? It's good to get used to it. I think you kid is just rare and weird, you're used to staying in the city, and you're fake and clean with me, and you don't have the simplicity of working people at all!"
Hong Yanwen also felt the same way, and couldn't help but say, "It's like this to go to the mountains and go to the countryside, it's extremely difficult, and the conditions are limited, and there is no way to do it."
But Hong Yanwu didn't believe that at all.
"Dirty is dirty, don't look for objective reasons. Izumi and I also work with hoes and sleep in the Chase shop, so why haven't lice grown? Bian Laosan, don't be hypocritical, or let's make a bet, do you want to rub off two catties of mud at night, wash your bald skin, and watch Aunt Bian let you go to bed?"
This was so angry that Bian Jiangong rolled his eyes at that time.
"Hey, I'm so grumpy! Who are the two of us who are hypocritical? Just like how clean you are! Forget your lack of virtue when you went to the bath with us when you were a child and peed in the bath? That is, we have been hiding it for you, or you would have been beaten to death by bathing people......
Yes, this is a monkey tail that grabbed Hong Yanwu. Rao is no matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't help but be speechless and embarrassed when he is caught off guard.
But what he never expected was that Hong Yanwen actually gave a detailed explanation on this matter.
"Jianguo, you don't know this, the third hour Hou loves to urinate in the pool, in fact, because he was scared. I remember one time, I took him to soak in the pool, and suddenly he couldn't hold back his pee, and as soon as he stood up, he felt like he was going to spill, so he hurriedly ran out of the pool. ”
"We were in the same pool as we were in it, and we had to step over a pool to get to the toilet. There happened to be a big head on the edge of the pool, and it was an adult with his head resting on the edge of the pool and his eyes closed in the bath. As a result, the third child took a step over his head, and guess what? The urine actually came out and drenched the man's face. ”
"At that time, the man grabbed the third child by the neck and scolded, 'Guilty, do you want to sprinkle it in my face?' I pulled off the guy who peed on your kid...... 'I didn't see it well, so I hurried over to explain.' But people don't believe it. ”
In the end, the third child spilled all the urine on the edge of the pool, and half of it splashed on the man. Only then did the man know that the third child really couldn't hold it back, so he let go of his hand. But the third child doesn't have to go to the toilet anymore, it's all over. Probably from then on, this kid was afraid of urgency to urinate again, so he simply didn't care about the dirty smell......"
After hearing these words, everyone burst into laughter after a moment of disbelief and disbelief. Even "Little Baizi" and Hong Yanru couldn't control their fun.
Hong Yanwu was furious on the spot.
"Second brother, why do you always like to talk nonsense! I don't have any impression of myself, don't frame me!"
I didn't expect Hong Yanwen to be frank.
"Can I talk nonsense, there is circumstantial evidence, the uncle was also there that day, he saw it, and he helped persuade him. When people go back, it will be clear when they ask......"
Hearing this, Bian Jiangong was even more proud, and laughed again.
And Hong Yanwu is even more self-conscious.
"Second brother, second brother, I really owe you a zipper! Are you my own brother? Why do you always love to expose my shortcomings! My nickname of 'old thief' was passed on by you. Tell you, you are too ruthless to fall into the well today, I will remember you for the rest of my life......"
Scolding and scolding, making trouble, in fact, is just a joke among young people, and no one is really anxious.
After everyone had laughed enough, Bian Jiangong and Su Jin stayed at Hong's house to play cards with Hong Yanwen and Hong Yanru. Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan and "Little Baizi" went to Tianqiaoer with their things.
Not to mention, after arriving at the "Little Baizi" house, Hong Yanwu really reassured his father's heart for the "Little Baizi". This old man is also weird, others don't believe in Hong Yanwu. It's really a bit of honor and pride for this kid.
As for Bai Yurong, the sister of "Little Baizi", she specially cooked a good meal for their arrival, and in the end, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan both felt very gracious, so they had to stay for dinner and drink two cups with the old man.
It was even more coincidental to return to Furuli after dinner, and Song Guofu actually came to visit the door. As soon as he learned that Hong Yanwu was back, he also came to his house today to deliver wine. I felt sorry for it, and I felt that I had to come and see what was going on, so I sent two peonies and 150 catties of national food stamps.
It's so good, it's better to come early than to come by chance, since you have caught up, let's go and see each other shirtless!
In this way, that night, in the entire east courtyard of Guanyin Academy, except for the old people of various families, Hong Yanzheng and the eldest son of the Ding family, they didn't like to have fun with these young people, as long as they were male members, almost all of them went out.
Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan, and Hong Yanwen took Hong Jun, together with Bian Jiangong, Su Jin, Song Guofu, and "Little Baizi" Ulala, to talk and laugh and walk to the bathhouse on Zixin Road.
To say that this bath is really different from usual, Hong Yanwu also made some extra preparations in advance that everyone did not expect.
He not only brought a few boxes of peonies, made a few pots of good tea with his own "spring buds and silver quills", but also brought two bottles of frozen plum wine and cut some Cantonese sausages.
Coupled with a pool of crystal clear and new water at the right temperature specially put by Bian Baoguo, these people are all bubbling, and they have never had a particularly moisturizing bath addiction.
Everyone was in the swirling of water vapor and smoke, drinking and eating, the sky was south and north, and the clouds and mountains were covered with fog.
In this atmosphere of seeing each other naked, no one cares about the difference between the director's son, a college student, an educated youth who joins the queue, and a prisoner in a labor camp, and there is no vanity and shame of inferiority compared to each other.
On the contrary, a kind of friendship that is plain but can be strengthened over time is slowly growing and thickening.
This kind of simple feeling is by no means comparable to the so-called "four irons" in the age of money.
