Chapter Twenty-Eight: Chinese New Year

In addition, there is also a side effect, that is, Hong Tao, a fart child who pushes a stroller to buy for his family and his grandmother's family, is quickly known to all the residents of Beixinqiao Street, even if they have not seen it with their own eyes, they will hear the women and old people in the family mention it. So when every family is educating the children in their own family who only know that they are full of food and tossing and causing trouble, the name Hong Tao will be emphatically mentioned.

The Spring Festival of 1977 was a happy Spring Festival for BJ and even the people of the whole country. Not only because of the smashing of the Gang of Four, but also many people who were impacted and persecuted during the special period have also begun to be rehabilitated, even if they have not had time to implement it, they have all received the news, which indicates that a sad era is over, and another new era has begun.

Children don't care whether the new era is new or not, they only care about two things, one is how much meat and sugar they can eat during the Spring Festival, and the other is the new clothes, new toys, and firecrackers that their parents buy for them that day to wear, play on that day, and put them on that day. Hong Tao doesn't care too much about these things, after these months of conditioning, his body has obviously changed, he has grown a lot taller, and he is no longer as thin as a bamboo pole, and he has some flesh on his body, especially his face is much better than before, so that his mother will always worry that he has hepatitis or worms in his stomach.

The Spring Festival of this era is still very scarce materially, don't think about big fish and meat, peanuts, melon seeds and sugar can not be eaten openly, this thing can only be bought during the festival and the New Year, and it is also available in limited quantities, Hong Tao gave his share to his little uncle, including a 1oo whip that his father bought for himself, so as not to keep an eye on his pocket.

But at this time, people are still very mentally abundant, and they don't have to worry about going to relatives to pay for the New Year's money, and they don't have to worry about drinking too much and getting sick from their internal organs. During the holidays, I took my wife, children and the elderly to go to relatives and visit the door, after everyone got together, I was really happy, I can walk around when I live close, and I live a little farther away, and I basically only see each other once a year.

Different from previous years, this year Hong Tao's family came to two groups of special guests, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Hong Tao's aunt's family came to the door, in previous years, everyone was gathered at grandma's house, but this year, the aunt and aunt specially carried a snack box and a big bag of red apples to see their brother-in-law and burden.

Hong Tao felt that there must be something strange in this, and he had already guessed the general reason, so he went into his father's study with a dead face, and he had to listen to the origin of his aunt.

"Bingrui, although this money is not much, but you must accept it, this is not unclean money, I have earned it by helping my neighbors to install soil heating in the past few months, we don't steal, we don't rob, we work with all our strength, I also paid for those water jackets from the factory, as for how to calculate it on Engineer Xu's side, this is not our care, do you say it! Speaking of this money, there should be a part of Xiaotao, the ideas are all from him, even the drawings have been drawn, he should buy some delicious food for the child, you see the child is thin." When Hong Tao entered the house, the eldest aunt was stuffing a wad of banknotes into his father's hand, and when he saw Hong Tao entering the house, he only asked him to close the door and did not carry him on his back.

"I definitely can't collect this money, what you do has nothing to do with me, I don't know, if you have to let me collect it, then we won't be able to move around in the future!" Hong Tao's father didn't want to be killed, he was scared by the impact, he was very timid, and he didn't dare to touch any superfluous things, for fear that one day the movement would come again and it would be unclear.

"Uncle, don't be embarrassed for my dad, you know the reason, in fact, I don't object to you doing this, you and the foreman have to contact more, communicate more, and in another year or two, as soon as the national policy is relaxed, maybe you can rely on this family, but now you have to take it easy, don't make it too big, let the factory now be troublesome." Hong Tao took the pile of banknotes in his father's hand and stuffed them directly into his aunt's pocket, probably more than 1oo yuan, at this time there is no 100 yuan bills, the maximum denomination is 1o yuan, and more than 100 yuan is a pile.

"Hong Tao! Don't talk nonsense, you child, what kind of national policy do you know, go out and play!" The father was nervous when he heard the word policy, and hurriedly blasted Hong Tao out.

"Don't say it, I think what Xiao Tao said is reasonable, you can't be afraid of anything, our family has pushed carts into the city to exchange eggs and peanuts, this apple is what I exchanged for food stamps, authentic apples in Changping, sweet and crisp. The eldest aunt hugged Hong Tao to his lap, reached out and picked up an apple from the table, and stuffed it into Hong Tao's hand.

"Red Star, this year's college entrance examination is resumed, your second child will graduate from high school next year, you let her work hard, she won't come to me at night, I will give her tutoring, it's not difficult to get a college exam, I will be responsible for recruiting new students this summer, and you let her apply for our school." Hong Tao's father said that his work had come up, and began to encourage his aunt to let his second daughter, Hong Tao's cousin, go to college.

"Forget it, like your Xiaotao, you must be admitted to the university, and you must be able to get in. Even if I can finish high school, even if I am worthy of them, the second and third are all girls, what kind of college should they go to, they will be old enough to find someone to marry. The eldest aunt didn't listen to Hong Tao's father's words at all, and their generation was not very enthusiastic about going to college to find a thing, thinking that it was not the way their children should go.

Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, my father and my aunt really can't talk about anything, and my aunt can't play chess or Go, but I didn't talk for a while, I had nothing to say, and my aunt didn't even eat lunch, so I quit and went back, which is why many relatives said that Hong Tao's father was fake Qinggao, he was too unsociable.

The other group of guests is much more high-end than the aunt, they are the leaders of their father's school, led by the vice principal, and there are 4 or 5 Hula Hula, who are specially to visit those teachers who have been impacted during the special period.

This time, Hong Tao was not polite, and went to his father's study to listen to the excitement, lying on his father's small bed just didn't leave, his father pretended not to understand no matter how he hinted, it was useless to say it clearly, in front of the leader, his father couldn't stare at it, so he had to let it go.

"Oh, Mr. Hong, your family's housing conditions are not bad, your family of three is quite spacious, just this study, you have to make 90% of the teachers in our school drool. The director of general affairs in my father's school had a big belly and watched Hong Tao's father's study start to deteriorate.

"This is my grandfather used my brother-in-law's marriage money to build for my father, and when my brother-in-law gets married, I have to vacate it, my dad doesn't even have a study, my mother doesn't let him smoke, uncle, when will your school build a new house, is it a bigger house for my father!" Hong Tao hurriedly took over the words, other things can be done, the house is resolutely not allowed, and you have to grab a place with housing difficulties if you talk nonsense, otherwise this crossing will be in vain.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Hong, your son is a little interesting, he talks the same as a little adult, he knows how to help the family fight for a house, and he didn't raise it in vain! But how is your study? How many points did you get in the midterm exam?" The vice principal understood what Hong Tao meant, and laughed so much that tears were about to fall, and when he saw Hong Tao's size, he thought he had gone to school.

"I haven't gone to school yet, I'm almost 5 years old, but my dad let me teach myself, or you give me a question, I can answer it, and you will share a house with my dad, if you can't answer it, we don't want it." Hong Tao relied on the fact that he was a child, so he didn't want to be cheeky directly, and no matter how his father stared, he climbed up the pole.

"Yuzhi, you take Xiao Tao to his grandmother, this child is no big or small, I can't control it!" The father was really a little anxious and began to ask Hong Tao's mother for help.

"Hey...... No, no, no, childish words, and solving the life problems of employees is also something we should do. Hong Tao, yes, then I'll give you a math problem to see if you and your father have learned the real skills. The vice principal probably hadn't seen a child like Hong Tao, so he was quite happy, picked up the pen on the table, and wrote on the paper.

"Can we get something real, you plan to use addition and subtraction to bet on the house?" Before Hong Tao could finish writing, he reached out and pressed the piece of paper and made his request.

"Yo, Mr. Hong, your son is bullish enough! Have you learned the addition and subtraction of two digits? Can you memorize the multiplication formula?" The vice principal didn't believe Hong Tao's words, in his opinion, a child less than 5 years old, can do addition and subtraction within 1oo should be very good.

"I don't know what he'll do, Hong Tao, you hurry up and go to your grandma's place to play, don't make trouble here!" Hong Tao's father was already annoyed with this unlucky son, and actually talked about the house in front of his school leaders, which made him very embarrassed.

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, then I'm out of the question, you give me this question!" the vice principal began to write on the paper again.

"This is also simple, so let's not bully you, let's start with a quadratic equation. Hong Tao plans to give his father a face in front of his father's school teacher, so that his father will be proud once, Hong Tao feels that this way can make his father happy than giving his father a big house, and he is happy from the heart, and he can walk and sound his chest.

"Equation! The course of the third year of junior high school!Teacher Hong, your tutor is too advanced!" The vice principal simply put down the pen and asked Hong Tao's father directly.
