Chapter 8 Three Joys and Congratulations

There is an old saying in the capital that "if you beat a child on a rainy day, you will be idle if you are idle", but this sentence is not suitable for the Hong family.

To say that Hong Yanzheng was really happy when he beat his son at that time.

He pressed Hong Jun to the side of the bed, waved his big hand, and said "Is it wrong?" "Do you still dare?" Hong Jun was terrified, crying with remorse, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I didn't dare, I didn't dare anymore......"

But when Hong Yanzheng finished venting his anger and played Lao Tzu's majesty, the side effects were also extremely serious.

Because as the old saying goes, "the next generation hurts", that's not false.

Later, not only did Hong Lucheng spare him, but let Hong Yanru pass the word and called him into his room for a lecture. After Wang Yunlin came home from work, he almost didn't drill the crack in the ground because he was "angry" (from Manchu, which originally meant to say, now there is a sense of complaining and reproaching).

At that time, as soon as Hong Jun saw Wang Yunlin who was off work, he hugged her thighs and twisted her ass as if her buttocks hurt.

Waiting for Wang Yunlin to lift her grandson's pants to check it, she asked again if it was Hong Yan who was fighting. Regardless of the whole family's presence, he was anxious on the spot.

"Look at the beating on us, the buttocks are all blue, it's unbearable! What a big hatred? What the hell did Hong Jun do, tell me ...... you?"

Hong Jun saw that someone was in charge, and he was even more energetic.

"Grandma, my dad is stingy, he doesn't let the third uncle buy me a gun, buy a gun, and scold the third uncle for losing the family......"

Hey, this stinky boy really learned from the third child, and learned to beat him upside down!

Seeing that his son actually took the opportunity to retaliate, Hong Yanzheng was immediately shocked and immediately explained to his mother.

"Mom, don't listen to your child's nonsense. are all the third, spending money in a mess, and Hong Jun is used to it. Look at it, he doesn't even care about my father, dare to 'swoop' me with a gun no matter how big or small, can he take care of ...... well"

But he was not allowed to say any further, Wang Yunlin's face was already cold. The majesty of "Mom" made him stuck in the shell.

"It's just such a small thing, it's worth your heavy hand? This is your own son! I don't understand, why can't the third child buy something for the child? He hurts his nephew and actually gets in the way of you, a father? Does he have to stay away from Hong Jun and deliberately be stingy? I also told you, you really hurt Hong Jun for this, I won't finish ...... with you."

"Boss, you are also in your thirties, and you are more than ten years old with the third child, but you have a good life, and you fight with this little brother all day long, what's going on? Don't say that our old man feels uncomfortable when he hears it, even if the neighbors hear it, they are shameless. You keep saying that you are good for your children, is this a good example you have set for your children......"

Hong Yanzheng only felt that all the blood rushed to his face. These words made him speechless for a while.

What he never expected was that at this time, it was Hong Yanwu who started a round for him.

"Mom, you can't blame the big brother for this. It's still up to me to slap my big brother with my face. You know, my boss and I have been arguing since we were young, and it is normal for me to quarrel with him and quarrel a few words. Thanks to the eldest brother's tolerance, our brothers did not have an overnight feud. In addition, I know in my heart that my eldest brother is angry, and one is afraid that I will not know the difficulties of life and worry about my future days. The other is that I am afraid that I will dye Hong Jun with my big hands and feet and bring the child to ruin. It's also to prevent ...... from getting worse."

Hey, it's weird! This 'old thief' actually understands people, didn't take the opportunity to fall into the well, and said good things for him?

And just when Hong Yanzheng was dumbfounded and looked at Hong Yanwu like a stranger, Wang Yunlin finally sighed and made a final summary of the incident.

"Boss, see it, is the third person who is not sensible? Don't think that we are all confused, you are the only one who understands. What does it mean to break bones and tendons, your brother still knows that he feels sorry for you. In fact, my mother is angry with you, not for anything else, but to let you understand the truth of living at home. Under the New Year's Day, other people's families are smiling, is it worth it for our family to make such a fuss?"

"Don't think about your mother's short-term protection, your mother wants you to understand one thing in the end. Are you angry with your brother and son because you can't get used to their bad problems and think about them the most? Or do you bring the idleness of other places to your home and take them out of the fire? To put it mildly, when you have time, you also look in the mirror more often to see when your own face has smiled......

Although his mother didn't pursue it anymore, and her tone was much softer, these few words of reproach finally fell on Hong Yanzheng's heart, but she couldn't help but make him feel like a pinprick. At the same time, it really made him think deeper.

Yes, why did he get into such a trouble with his brother and son? Is it really just because he can't get used to it?

Why is he able to live in peace with people who are far away and make compromises, but he has to be angry with his family?

Isn't this really a "mouse carrying a gun - horizontal in the nest"?

Hong Yanzheng lowered his eyes and said nothing. but the heart is confused,

And waited until Wang Yunlin comforted Hong Jun a few times and took Hong Yanru to the kitchen to be busy with dinner. Even if Hong Yanwu greeted him with a smile and came over to hand him a cigarette, he didn't have the face to stay in the house anymore. I could only push it with a wave of my hand, and went back to my house by myself. Until his wife Xu Manli came back and pushed the door into the house, he was still lying on the bed facing the wall.

Hong Yanzheng could clearly feel that Xu Manli was choked by the thick smell of smoke in the house as soon as she came in. But he thought he would hear a few complaints, but he didn't expect Xu Manli to just come over and touch his head, take a blanket and cover him on his body.

This kind of silent warmth made his heart warm up, and he felt a little guilty in his heart. took the initiative to sit up and talked about today's awkwardness.

"You've heard about the family, I just had a fight with the third child, and I beat my son badly, and my parents disciplined me......"

I didn't expect Xu Manli to be very considerate, and she didn't complain, but comforted her carefully.

"Hey, in fact, don't take it to heart, who doesn't make housework? The third child told me just now, let me give you a message and make amends for him. Son, you can rest assured, a muddy boy who remembers eating but not beating will not really remember his old man's hatred. As for the elderly, you have to be considerate of your parents' love for their children. It's good to control the ignition gas in the future, but no matter how reasonable you are, you have to slowly say that it's not ......."

His wife's virtuous and sensible made Hong Yanzheng's mood a little more comfortable, and he sighed and admitted it calmly.

"Actually, the third child and his son are not so guilty, I do have a bit of an evil fire. Mom said I was right, I was annoyed today. ”

Xu Manli was a little surprised, and suddenly became concerned.

"Yo, what's wrong with you?"

"In the factory workshop, those people don't work at all. Playing cards every day, giggling and laughing. I also littered cigarette butts everywhere, and I didn't even talk about fire awareness......"

Hearing this, Xu Manli relaxed again.

"That's it, what is this? Which workshop is not like this now? Our factory is like this. ”

"But our workshop director came in, hey, he didn't see it. ”

"That's it, now it's not going to be a good person, who is afraid of whom?"

"But people must have a conscience, and they must be worthy of this salary. I just can't figure it out. You say that factories have long ceased to be capitalists. Even workers like us who are family members know how to contribute to the country, so how can those who have good roots and sprouts be able to do this? Isn't this all the opposite?"

Facing his closest wife, Hong Yanzheng finally couldn't help but pour out all the sincere words that he had been holding back. This scared Xu Manli a lot.

"Don't talk nonsense. Beware of people posting your big-character posters!"

However, after subconsciously being sensitive, she can also understand his suffering.

"If you want to talk about you, you love to drill the horns. You still don't understand this, just because people have good ingredients and strong confidence, they can't do it well, and no one dares to care. It's useless for you to be in a hurry. Now it's a matter of whether to do it or not, and to do more and do less. Look at the factory leaders, they are not in a hurry, why are you so worried. Anyway, it's a salary of dozens of dollars a month. ”

"But if you say that the big guys are all mixed up, what will you get paid in the future?"

"You don't have to worry about it, isn't this the superiority of socialism? I think even if there is only one bowl of porridge left, it will have to be shared by the whole country.

Xu Manli is indeed telling the truth, no matter how Hong Yanzheng is, he can't help but face up to reality.

"Well, what is this called? In fact, I also understand, I can only talk to you a few words, I really have to rely on me, it's useless to die of exhaustion......"

"You're right to think so. Anyway, if you want me to say, don't look at it if you can't get used to it, let's not compare with others, as long as you don't take bad money, you can be worthy of this salary......"

Hong Yanzheng was completely silent in desperation, and after a while, he went to touch the cigarette case again.

Unexpectedly, this time, Xu Manli held down his hand.

"Well, you should smoke less. I have one more thing to tell you. Didn't the third child pick up the child for me today? I went to the hospital after work......"

A few minutes later, when Hong Yanzheng reappeared in the hall with Xu Manli, the strange thing was that he had completely disappeared and became energetic. And the face is full of joy, which can be seen at a glance.

At this time, there were already a lot of meals on the table of the Eight Immortals, including wine and meat, and it can be seen that the mother made a good meal with the things Hong Yanwu bought.

As soon as Chen Liquan saw his eldest brother and sister-in-law, he hurriedly moved chairs. Hong Yanwu came over again with a shy face and joked.

"It's still my sister-in-law who has the ability. I've finally invited your driver, what's the matter, boss, you're angry?"

Somehow, Hong Yan was smiling, but his embarrassed expression was different, and he looked a little embarrassed. And he scratched his head, and then made another request that surprised everyone present.

"Third child, where are the firecrackers you bough......t? If you want to borrow a 'check whip', use it first......"

Hong Yanwu was naturally inexplicable by his eldest brother's abnormality.

"Yo, we still borrow it......? What's going on?"

"Hey, that's not ...... Your sister-in-law ......"

At this point, Xu Manli, who was red-faced, couldn't help but tug Hong Yanzheng's sleeve. Hong Yanzheng closed his mouth, thought about it, and could only smile and gesture a circle on his stomach with both hands.

Needless to say, Hong Yanwu was the first to be happy. He immediately realized that it was another destined nephew who had come to Hong's house to report.

"Hey, dare to be an uncle again! What did I say! Big brother, how can one hang is enough, we have to put two hanging!"

In this way, Hong Yanru and Chen Liquan also quickly understood, and said hello to Hong Yanzheng and Xu Manli.

To say that in the entire hall, there is only one Hong Jun who is riding a bamboo stick and pretending to be a cavalryman. kept chasing after Hong Yanzheng's ass and asked, "Dad, what are you pulling, is it a stomachache? Why do you have to set off firecrackers? Don't you scold the third uncle......

Just when Hong Yanzheng was embarrassed, Hong Yanwu had already patted Hong Jun's little head and pulled him away.

"Silly boy, you're still squeezing your dad. Tell you, your kid has been promoted, and he is about to become an older brother, do you know? Why don't you tell your grandparents to go, the sooner the better......

But Hong Jun still half-understood and half-understood, muttering in his mouth, "...... Then I'll have to ride a horse. ”

Now even Hong Yanzheng was happy, and patted his son's head.

"You can ride the 'cannon and light it', as long as you are fast!"

As Hong Jun ran to the back room and rode a bamboo stick to report to Hong Lucheng, a festive laughter sounded in the Hongjiatang house.

But no one expected that at this time, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and a person rushed in in a hurry.

And just when everyone was stunned, they saw Hong Yanwen, who was sweating profusely, holding up a letter and already jumping up like a rabbit in the house.

With a flick of his hat, he didn't allow others to ask, so he announced it loudly first.

"Look, the admission letter! I got in! I got into college!"

Hey! Coincidentally, who said that happiness is unequaled? A real double happiness is coming today...... No, it's three joys!

In this way, at the dinner that night, all the members of the Lao Hong family did not eat dinner on time, but all stood at the gate of the East Courtyard of Furuli.

Under the blue-black skylight, Hong Yanzheng and Xu Manli supported Hong Lucheng. Hong Yanru was carrying Wang Yunlin and stood at the foot of the high steps. They were elated, watching Hong Yanwen and Chen Liquan each holding a long firecracker on the steps, and let Hong Yanwu and Hong Jun, who were holding incense, light it.

Crackling, sparks flying!

In one breath, I put six thousand "big check whips", plus two tubes of "box flowers"!

In this bustle, not only did the passers-by cover their ears and watch, but the Bian family, the Ding family, the Su family, and even the neighbors of the West Courtyard were also led out. At the same time, these acquaintances also felt very strange, why was it not Chinese New Year's Eve yet, and the Hong family set off so many firecrackers?

When they heard that the Hong family was celebrating the three happy events of the happy harvest of their son, the import of Tianding, and the title of the gold list, they suddenly realized that they praised and congratulated each other.

"Congratulations!!" said everyone who knew the Hong family. "The earth is rejuvenated, life is abundant, blessings come from the sky, auspicious and wishful ......"

Subsequently, these news were spread by word of mouth, and quickly became a hot topic among the residents of Furuli before and after tea and dinner.

Envy! Needless to say?

Isn't that decent!

Why not?

This year's "Xiaohan" is definitely the most beautiful night for the Hong family in recent years......
