In terms of taking care of the children, He Jianguo is far less than his wife Shufang's efforts, the children's food, clothing, housing, transportation, and education are all done by herself, especially the two brothers Wuyi and Wuyi from birth to the age of two this year, they have hardly paid anything, in the face of the strangeness in the eyes of the two younger sons, what emerged in his heart was not sadness, but guilt.

Therefore, on the second day of coming to the capital, He Jianguo took care of all the housework and was ready to take over the work of picking up and dropping off the children, and when his wife brushed his teeth, he could squeeze the toothpaste on the toothbrush and then hand it to Qi Shufang.

Qi Shufang pinched the toothbrush and laughed, "What are you doing!"

He Jianguo smiled.

"Wife, you've worked hard. ”

Qi Shufang's heart is sweet, which is in line with the idiom: Sweet as food.

After breakfast, Qi Shufang told her husband: "I have to go to work, I am not at home during the day, now that I am on vacation, I can only go to the sports school safely, you can buy some vegetables and meat on the way back to send her back, the weather is too hot, don't let the teacher and his wife go." You don't need a ticket for meat, buy more, our family has more, and then buy some pork ribs, stewed pork rib soup two small ones can drink a lot. ”

"You don't need a meat ticket to buy meat in the capital?" He Jianguo was very surprised, Gupeng City still has to use meat tickets now, he still has a supply of two catties of meat a month, and he usually goes to a restaurant or canteen if he wants to make a tooth sacrifice.

"Yes, the meat ticket was canceled on New Year's Day, although the other tickets were not completely canceled, but you can buy what you want without a ticket, such as fabrics, clothes, food and so on. "Finally, I don't need meat tickets, and I can finally buy things as I want, but Qi Shufang is still very depressed, because if this continues, the salary is not enough to spend!

The economy is getting faster and faster, it has only been more than a year, and life will get better and better in the future, Qi Shufang hopes to raise her salary as soon as possible, she can't remember whether the national unified wage increase was in the eighties or nineties, anyway, it will be a long time.

Fortunately, prices have not risen and remain at the level of the fifties, sixties and seventies.

He Jianguo smiled: "You said yes, you used to say that after economic development, you will definitely cancel the ticket, but I didn't expect that the economy has only been developing for a long time, and the capital has begun to cancel the meat ticket, and it is estimated that a big city like Shanghai has also been canceled, right?"

"I was so busy every day that I didn't pay attention to the situation in Shanghai, and I don't know if there was a cancellation of meat tickets like the capital. Qi Shufang thought about it carefully, and vaguely remembered that Shanghai also canceled the meat ticket in the early 80s, but she couldn't remember clearly, and it may not be this year, because Shanghai's meat ticket has changed several times.

"In time, it will also be our turn in Gupeng City. What do you want to eat? I'll buy it back. ”

Qi Shufang shook her head: "It's too hot, there's nothing you want to eat, but you look at what fresh melons and fruits are in the fruit store, buy more and come back, although I don't come back to eat at noon, but don't make meat and vegetables too greasy." ”

After speaking, Qi Shufang thought of one more thing, took out a notebook from her shoulder bag and handed it to her husband, "Ping An is learning to swim now, although the sports school is not as strict as in the national team, but it is better for us to be serious, this is the dietary taboo that some coaches of the national team have specially listed, you should pay attention to it when cooking." ”

Since Ping An wants to be a swimmer, then he has to start training from a young age, Qi Shufang remembers that in order to ensure health, in order to ensure health, when the food is not safe, they all eat special supply of green organic food.

He Jianguo flipped through his notebook, "I remember." ”

Qi Shufang hugged the four children separately and kissed their foreheads one by one, "Mom went to work, goodbye baby." ”

Qijin calmly kissed Qi Shufang, "Goodbye." ”

"Bye-bye!" Ping'an smiled and pouted his pink little mouth, and printed a saliva on Qi Shufang's face.

Qi Shufang is busy every day, several children are used to it, after waving their little hands indiscriminately, eating the rice in their own bowls, the older seven catties and peace are fine, the young May Day is full of rice residue, holding a spoon in his hand, and when he waved his hand, he accidentally waved the food in the spoon, so busy that He Jianguo hurriedly wiped him, and Wuyi giggled.

Wuer waved his fat little paws slowly, and then lowered his head and ate the egg custard in the bowl peacefully.

How cute the four children look, unlike some children in other people's families who have to chase after them to feed, Professor Jin and Granny Kim's wrinkled faces are like blooming yellow flowers, and their eyes are full of love.

After everyone finished eating, He Jianguo cleaned up the table and prepared to send Ping'an to the sports school, Granny Jin wiped her face on May Day and reminded: "Jianguo, remember to buy some good ribs when you buy vegetables, stew pork rib soup and wait for Shufang to come back in the evening to eat." I think she likes to eat pork ribs, especially ribs, sweet and sour pork ribs can eat a big bowl. ”

"Got it, Master. He Jianguo kept it in mind, he didn't forget that his daughter-in-law has always been meatless.

"Dad, I'll go with you! Send my sister first, and then go grocery shopping!" Dad finally came to the capital for a trip, and finally the family was reunited, Qijin felt that his homework could be put aside appropriately, he cherished the days with his father, so he looked up at He Jianguo with a little face full of hope.

Compared with his younger sister and his two younger brothers who were born and grew up in the capital, Qijin, who grew up in Gupeng since he was a child, has a deeper relationship with his father and ancestors, not to mention that he was already very sensible before he came to the capital.

"Good. He Jianguo touched his eldest son's head and praised a few words.

Ping'an carried a small satchel with clothes, and not to be outdone, he stretched his little head under He Jianguo's palm, "Dad, Dad, I'm also very well-behaved, my mother praised me for being a good child." ”

"Yes, yes, An An is well-behaved, Dad likes An An. ”

Ping An squinted happily, his little face seemed to be budding, and he no longer laughed as embarrassingly as he did when he was a child.

He Jianguo has not come to the capital many times, and now he comes again, walking in the streets, he only feels that there is a sense of being separated from the world, the voices of people are boiling, all of them are full of smiles, and there is no longer the sound of the wind during the catastrophe, and the color of the clothes is no longer only black, blue and gray, but also colorful, and many styles are not available in Gupeng City.

He Jianguo sighed with emotion and decided to take advantage of his half month in the capital to study more.

The father and son sent Ping'an to the school and then went to the grocery store, and sure enough, as Qi Shufang said, although there was still a queue at the door to buy meat, but you could buy meat without a meat ticket, and the sound of customers shouting and cutting meat came and went.

He Jianguo took a closer look, he and his son came quite late, I didn't expect that there were still a lot of meat and bones on the board, if it was a few years ago, I went to line up at three or four o'clock in the morning, and at this time, the meat in front of the queue was almost sold, and many people returned in vain, how could there be enough supply now. It can be seen from this that today's materials are indeed much more abundant than in previous years, and reform and opening up have been fruitful.

While He Jianguo was thinking, the residents in front of him had already bought things.

When it was his turn, the staff selling meat wiped his sweat, "What to buy?" The weather is hot, and his temper is inevitably a little irritable, even if there is an electric fan blowing in the store, his bare upper body is still sweating profusely, and his voice is also very rushing, with anger.

He Jianguo had no intention of bothering with him, "Let's have a small rib of about three catties first." ”

As soon as the words fell, the staff dragged half of the ribs, and the knife fell, first a stroke, then a chop, a few ribs were chopped off by him, and he weighed it on the scale, three catties and two taels, and he Jianguo also wanted to do it, not like some customers who talked about buying meat, "Then two catties of pork belly." ”

Qijin tiptoed, his two big eyes rolling around, "Dad, I like to eat pork skin jelly." ”

"Okay, another pound of pigskin. He Jianguo is happy to meet his son's request, it is best to eat cold pork skin jelly in summer, buy it today and process it in the refrigerator, and you can eat it tomorrow.

"Thank you, Dad!" the big eyes of the seven pounds bent.

He Jianguo saw that there was fresh beef cut off on the counter, and there were beef thighs hanging on the iron hooks behind the staff in the stage, and there were beef bones next to it, so he asked in a low voice if he wanted to eat beef, and got the answer that he wanted to eat, so he immediately cut five catties of tendon meat, and bought two catties of beef brisket, the former is made of spiced beef, or stewed potatoes, which tastes very good.

Then, the father and son bought fresh vegetables and fresh melons and fruits according to Qi Shufang's wishes, and spent more than a dozen yuan to carry them home.

Granny Jin sat on a rattan chair in the shade of the tree and looked at him, and couldn't help but smile when she saw the things in the hands of He Jianguo's father and son.

"On a hot day, who eats so much meat?"

He Jianguo smiled: "This is not a meal. Let's eat stewed beef brisket with potatoes at noon, marinate the tendon meat and make spiced beef tomorrow, eat pork ribs twice at night, and eat pork skin tomorrow. ”

"What about the pork belly?" asked Granny Kim.

"Wrap buns tomorrow morning. He Jianguo has planned well, although the meat buns in the state-run hotel are thin and filling, but the home is cleaner, and now the reform and opening up, the service of the state-run hotel is becoming less and less thoughtful.

Wuyi heard it, swallowed his saliva, and said loudly: "Grandma, I want to eat steamed buns!"

Granny Kim smiled, "Tell your father." ”

"Dad?" Wuyi looked at He Jianguo, with strangeness in his eyes, and with a whoosh, he ran to Granny Jin, fell into her arms, and secretly looked up at He Jianguo, and as soon as he found He Jianguo looking at him, he immediately buried his head back.

He Jianguo's heart ached, and his eyes and nose became sour.

Among the four children, He Jianguo felt the most sorry for the two-year-old twins Wuyi and Wuer.

Qijin is the first child of him and Qi Shufang, and when the husband and wife came to the world with full expectations, without younger siblings, they naturally got all the love and were the most valued. Although Ping An is the second child, she is a girl, and she was born extremely dangerous, so she received the best love, which is not inferior to that of seven catties. Only Wuyi and Wuer were born in the capital, and most of the time they spent in the capital, He Jianguo lived with them for a handful of days, Qi Shufang went to school, and most of the time they just slept together at night, even if they both achieved a bowl of water, they also felt unfair to their two younger sons.

After the careful Granny Jin noticed this, she immediately helped Wuyi to stand and pushed him in the direction of He Jianguo, "Silly boy, don't you know your father? You call your father to the photo every day! Go to your father and ask him to make buns for you." ”

Wuyi blinked his eyes, which were very similar to He Jianguo, tilted his head, and remained motionless.

He Jianguo put the things on the stone table next to him, squatted down, and looked directly at him, "Dad will make you buns tomorrow morning, okay?" You see, the meat has just been bought, and it has to be washed, cut, chopped into filling, and pickled to taste, it will take a long, long time, and Dad can't make it today. ”

"Tomorrow?" Wuyi whispered, his eyes flashed with doubts, after all, he was a child, and he didn't understand the meaning of tomorrow and today.

Qijin already has experience in taking care of his younger brothers and sisters, he took advantage of the time when He Jianguo and Wuyi were talking, quickly washed a plate of fruit, and greeted the third brother: "May Day, come and wash your hands and eat fruits!"

"Guoguo!" Wuyi's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately abandoned He Jianguo and jumped to wash his hands.

After washing his hands, Wuyi obediently stood in front of Qijin, blinking his eyes with his little face up, "Brother, Guoguo, I want to eat Guoguo." ”

Unexpectedly, Qijin handed over the fruit bowl to He Jianguo, "Guoguo is at Dad's, you go and ask Dad for it." ”

Wuyi ran to He Jianguo, "Dad, eat Guoguo!"

He Jianguo couldn't help laughing, holding the fruit plate in one hand, and holding a peach in the other hand and handing it to him, Wuyi reached out to pick it up, opened his mouth and wanted to gnaw on it, I didn't know what I thought, turned around, pedaled and ran to Granny Jin, and held the peach in both hands and sent it to Granny Jin, "Grandma, eat Guoguo, eat Guoguo!"

"Grandma has a bad tooth and mouth, so she doesn't eat fruits, but eats them on May Day. ”

On May Day, there was a whin, and the millet teeth gnawed on the peach.

He Jianguo put the fruit plate on the stone table, took one and handed it to Granny Jin, Granny Jin didn't ask him to hand it over to Qijin, and asked Professor Jin and Wu'er at the same time, from the time he entered the door to the present, he didn't hear the voice of Professor Jin and Wu'er, and he thought he was not at home.

"An old friend of his, who wrote to borrow money, took Wuer to send money. ”

"Oh. ”

He Jianguo didn't ask what his friend was, at noon Professor Jin took Wuer's little hand, and when he came back, he mentioned the matter, "The superbirth fine, asked me to borrow three hundred, and I remitted two hundred." My old friend had a great-granddaughter and wanted a great-grandson, the family planning policy was tightened, and the family went into hiding in Tibet, but they still gave birth to a granddaughter. ”

Professor Jin shook his head, he didn't agree with his old friend's approach, he actually persuaded himself in the letter to bring Tianli's son back to change his surname to Jin, or adopt a child to inherit the Jin family, is it necessary?

The implementation of the national policy of family planning is polarized in China.

On the one hand, they follow the laws and regulations of the state, regardless of whether men and women only have one baby, and on the other hand, they still believe that they have many children and grandchildren, and they ignore the national law.

When He Jianguo was reunited with his wife and children in the capital, He's father was facing something due to family planning, and his grandson Xu Baozhu, who had not met for 20 years, took his wife Zhang Xiaodie, who had a big belly, and wanted to live in He's house and wait for a child to go back. 166 Reading Network
