Let's say that before I knew it, it was the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. On this day, the sky was quite clear, and the moon at night was very round and bright, and a few stars were blinking in the sky.

Gen'er's family and his old mother had dinner early and sat in the courtyard chatting. On the small dining table, there are plates of moon cakes, plates of persimmons, plates of fresh dates, and plates of sand fruits. After a while, Dova's youngest daughter Tongtong came over.

"Tongtong, have you eaten?" asked Tongtong, the old mother of the Wu family. "Well, I ate it. "Eat a tooth of mooncakes. Gen'er's wife hairpin said. "Sweet, don't eat it, eat a sand fruit. "Well, eat. "Did your father come back?" the old mother of the Wu family asked again. "I came back, and he said I'll come later. "Oh. ”

"Grandma, what's the point of eating moon cakes?" "Hehe, I heard that grandma is your grandma, this August 15 is to kill tartars, so I use this moon cake to contact." "Who is the Tartar?" "Haha, this woman loves to ask these questions. Gen'er said with a smile. "The baby always wants to know, hehe. ”

"Hehe, I heard the old man say that the Tartars also called the Hu people, saying that they were from Mongolia. "What about the Tartars you killed?" "Bullying our Han people." "That's what I've heard. How dare it be the Yuan Dynasty?" Gen'er asked. "Who knows, that's what the old man said. "Some people also say that moon cakes were available in the Tang Dynasty. Gen'er said.

"What does killing tartar have to do with moon cakes?" "Hehe, this woman likes to break the casserole and ask the end." The hairpin said with a smile. "I heard the old man say that the code for killing the Tartar is this little round cake, which is spread to ten, ten to hundred, and on the fifteenth day of August, everyone got together, and something happened, and the Tartar was really killed. "Oh. ”

Later, they filled the round cakes with sugar filling and got together to eat them and celebrate the day. "Really?" "Hehe, who knows, that's what the old man said." "Oh, no, who can figure out folklore. ”

"Hehe, this woman is interested in asking about these. "Haha, if you have this energy, study hard, maybe you will be promising." At this moment, Dova carried the mooncakes into the door of the eldest brother's house.

At this time, Dowa was forty-five or six, working in a material company in Fenwan County, and her four children were gradually growing up. The eldest daughter Yanyan is twenty-four years old, and she has already married an ordinary family in Qingxi, saying that she has opened a shop to repair something, and her life is so-so.

The son is twenty-two and joined the army after graduating from high school. I stayed in the army for a few years and didn't stay in the army, but I came back. The second daughter, Dandan, is mute and has not yet found her in-laws at the age of twenty. The youngest daughter is also seventeen years old and is in high school.

By this time, the planned commodity economy had been in place for 10 years, and the market, especially the market for the means of production, had been liberalized. As a result, the material system, which was originally supposed to be born from the planned economy, gradually lost its former status and role, and the economic benefits were naturally much worse than before, and even faced a change of career. Duowa's bonus is less, and as the children grow up, the family's expenses are larger, and life is not easy.

"Are they all there?" said Dova. "Oh, you're here?" replied Gen'er. "Hmm. "Sit. "Mom, this bag is for you. "Oh, what do you eat at home, and what do you use to cook, here's it." ”

"Hey, you're yours, it's a quota. Brother, I'll give you a pack too. Dova said and put the mooncakes on the small dining table. The hairpin glanced at what Dowa had sent, but did not respond.

"Oh, what's the trouble. Hey, Jiaojiao, pour a drink for your second father. Gen'er said. "If you don't pour it, you won't pour it, you will eat it, and you will not drink it. Dova said politely. But Jiaojiao still poured a bowl for her second father to drink.

"Here, eat a paper cigarette. Gen'er took out a cigarette and handed it to his brother, and he took one himself. "Hmm. The two lit cigarettes and continued to talk as they smoked.

"Locklock is coming back, isn't he?" asked Gen'er. "Well, I'll be back at the end of the year. Dova replied. "Oh, this soldier is not as good as it used to be, and there is still hope for the old words. "Ah, no, don't mention it. "This social change is so fast, I can't grasp it. "Yes. ”

"At these times, I wanted to say it, but I didn't say it. The old mother of the Wu family said to Dowa. "What's the matter?" you say. "Our mother always talks about Dandan's marriage. Gen'er said. "Ah, I can't make a suitable one. "Our baby is a mute, but we can't be angry. The old mother of the Wu family said. "I know, but the family is too bad, what can I do in the future. ”

"I heard that Napo'er is on that baby, don't you want to?" Gen'er asked. "Ah, the house is poor, the baby's eye sockets are not good, and he wears a pair of highly myopic mirrors. "I heard that people's parents are serious people, but the baby is older. However, people are quite rare in our Dandan. That's all it takes. The old mother of the Wu family said.

"Ah, that's it, poor or rich, just live a good life in the future. Gen'er said. "Hey, too. Dova said with a smile. "If you can book it, you can book it, as long as Dan Danming'er passes the door and stretches her heart. The old mother said. "Hmm. ”

"Haihai is still in that unit?" "Hmm. It's still in that office. "I don't know if he is familiar with other people's power plants and steel mills. "But you know, I can't touch it. "If you can, I'm going to run to him." "Ah, then you go. At the moment, this business is not easy to do, there are many losses and little money. ”

"I've seen it, it's a beautiful place to run coke, and there are many places in the south that want coke. "That's a lot of money. You have so much money?" "Dare to play in the air?"

"Hehe, this is the one who is doing big business now. "Oh, then you have to be careful, you let the family cheat you. "Then let's talk about it, let's always step on it and say it before shipping." "You have to keep one hand in your hand, but you don't dare to put it all in the hands of others." "That's for sure, I don't need to say it. ”

"Haihai, what's going on now?" "Haihai, well, I can't count on it in the house. "He's been there for so many years, let him find a home there for his coke." If it is done, everyone will benefit. ”

"Haha, you go, he's your nephew, it's not what you should have done to find him. "And what did you say to him?" "I didn't say anything. So Dova sat down a little more, talked to his brother about other things, and went back to his house.

As soon as she entered the door, Xian'er asked, "Are you back?" "Hot face sticks to people's cold ass. "Hehe, you're right. "Not yet?" "Hey, I can't talk to you." "Naturally, you like to listen to good things. ”

"What nonsense. Our brother is still the locks. "To put it bluntly, ask the last question, even if you worry about it? Besides, dare to be a big daddy for nothing?

"When the words come to your mouth, they are so ugly. Then have you called a brother over the years?" "Call him?!" Look at what the couple is doing. "Brother E, I didn't offend you. ”

"Well, you know, you are an outsider, so it's good for your brother. "Our brother asked, how do you arrange the lock back?" "When people say hello like that, they will fill your heart. "Ask, it always means that you have it in your heart." "Ah, yes, I don't know. ”

"Oh, okay, let's not talk about that. There's a serious matter to discuss with you. "What's the matter?" "There's going to be a trading company in the company. If not, when the lock comes back, tell him to go to the trading company. "With a big tone, do you dare to be a manager?

"Hehe, you are asked to keep the money, how can you contact someone?" "You spend what you should spend, and you don't care about it." "Hehe, you just have that. In this way, before Suo Suo returned from demobilization, Dowa started to work for her son.

The words are divided into two ends. However, it was said that Gu'er and his wife lived in a house with another young couple. The couple, the man's surname is Li, the woman's surname is Ge, although both of them are not locals, they are both from the city, and they are two or three years younger than Gua'er and his wife.

Because they were younger, they were more trendy, so they didn't hold a traditional wedding, but came to a tourist wedding, and the newlyweds went to the south for a stroll and a scenic tour. It's chic, relaxed, affordable, sweet, and comes home with a thick stack of photos.

Two young couples live in a house, both intellectuals and polite. The living room, kitchen and bathroom are shared by two families, and each has a dining table and chairs in the living room, as well as some other things like bicycles.

As for the kitchen, each of the two families has a small cupboard, each with its own pots and spoons, each with its own cooking utensils, and a small coal stove. Each has used it, and each has cleaned it up.

Gua Er is from the countryside, and since she was a child, she has been doing farm work and housework with her martial parents, whether it is a bedroom, or a used kitchen and bathroom, they are all neat and tidy.

And what about that little Ge? is a big master, the elder sister of the Tiantian family is long, and the younger sister is short, and it is indispensable to borrow this and that. Of course, living in a house is a common thing.

However, this Xiaoge is informal, the kitchen and bathroom used are more casual, even more procrastinating, and there are always some fallen hair in the washbasin. Gua'er couldn't see it, so she started to clean up, but as the days went by, Xiaoge was always like this, and Gua'er was a little unhappy.

After all, they are all intellectuals, not like ordinary workers who have nothing to say, but who are stuffed in their stomachs and start a cold war. Although they didn't quarrel or blush, their politeness and enthusiasm gradually cooled down, and they all felt the inconvenience of sharing a house.

Children without fathers and mothers have to rely on themselves, but they also need the help of relatives and friends, and without the help of people around them, it will naturally be even more miserable. People can be demanding of themselves, but they cannot choose their relatives, let alone others and neighbors. It is a blessing to meet good relatives and friends, but it is also impossible to meet unsatisfactory colleagues and neighbors.

However, due to this condition, the funds of the Normal University are tight, and there are few newly built houses, but there are many people who want houses. It's nice for two young couples to share a house with a kitchen and bathroom. I don't have the ability to change the environment, and I can only adjust myself to adapt to the environment.

After dinner that day, Huhu and Gua'er were walking downstairs, and when they saw the children playing in the yard, they couldn't help but say to Gua'er: "When I went back two days ago, my parents urged me to have a child." "I knew you were going to talk about this again. ”

"Hehe, our mother said, while they can still bring it. That's right, too. "Oh. "Hey, it's been more than half a year, and I haven't taken any measures, why hasn't there been any movement?" Gu'er glanced at Huhu, didn't answer, and continued to walk forward.

"Isn't it ......" "Hehe, I know what you're trying to say." "How's that?" "How's it going?" Maybe it's your fault. Gua Er smiled and glanced at Huhu. "How so?" "Why not." "Then let's go check it out one day." "If you want to go, you won't go, hehe." ”

"What?" "Why are you like this?" "What?" "Usually you're still plain, but what's wrong with today?" "No?" "How can anyone talk about this outside, don't be a joke." "Oh, yes. Let's go back and talk about it. "I just came down, but I won't go back." "Okay, let's continue walking. "Hey, hey. ”

"You still want children, don't you look at our current situation. "What's wrong?" House. "Hey, hey, it's all like that. "What should be said in front of the leader should be said. "Well, it doesn't affect the relationship between colleagues. "I talked to the leader, but I didn't let you say it in front of my colleagues. "Oh, I see. "It's good to understand. ”

In this way, the two walked for a while before going back, and there was nothing to do all night.
