"Yes, isn't this the New Year, bring some specialties back to your family," Xu Xuecheng replied with a smile.

Hu Yaohua patted his head, "Yes, I forgot that you have to rush back for the New Year,"

"What are you doing here," Xu Xuecheng asked.

Hu Yaohua has a lot of things in his hands, Moutai, Marlboro, and a brown paper bag, Xu Xuecheng estimates that it is the great unity of Chengyu.

"Isn't it almost the New Year, I'm thinking that you also have a place to use money in Beiping, you take this thing back, it can be regarded as my early year for you in advance!"

Xu Xuecheng thought that the two met by chance, and the lover was waiting for him here, but he didn't expect that he would also be given a gift one day.

In fact, he didn't know, in previous years, Hu Yaohua was sent directly to Jiamei Electric Appliance Company, this year Xu Xuecheng came, and he prepared a separate one, just a call at Mr. Xu, Vice President Liu of Jiamei flew over in person, and he even wondered if Xu Xuecheng was related to the mysterious Hong Kong boss of the company.

"Do you want to come with me, I don't need it, I'm afraid of being robbed in my hand, you do this well, I guarantee that the dealer of Jiamei will still be you next year," Xu Xuecheng patted Hu Yaohua on the shoulder and said.

Hu Yaohua was relieved when he heard this, his mouth bloomed, and he insisted on taking the package in Xu Xuecheng's hand, "Then don't mention it, I'll accompany you around, there are few cities in these four or nine cities that force me to be familiar with!" ”

After turning a corner, there are more than a dozen shops here, full of green and bright flowers, from the bat shirts of young girls, to the cheongsams of young women, and even the jackets of old people.

"This is Shen Wensheng's clothing store?" Xu Xuecheng asked.

"Isn't it, this street is all his, didn't you see the sign hanging on it, Tang style clothing chain store,"

Good guy, I just mentioned it, this horn Liu is doing a good job, and the way of chain stores has been opened in the capital.

"Let's go, go over and have a look!"

Although Hu Yaohua was reluctant in every way, Xu Xuecheng was interested, and she had to accompany her while pinching her nose.

Before he walked into the store, a middle-aged fat man wearing a big felt hat, a blue-gray jacket with the word Xi, and a pair of big cotton pants, holding a folding fan in his hand in the winter, greeted him, "Yo, isn't this our Hu Ye, why are you so free today, come to my store to hang out?" ”

Hu Yaohua is low in front of Xu Xuecheng, but in front of outsiders, he is still the majestic "Qianmen Hu Ye",

"Don't fart, let's come to your store today to buy some new clothes, if there is anything to make the scene, hurry up and present it, let your Hu Ye palm your eyes,"

The big felt hat was not annoyed, and he bent over, "Well, look at it here, this is a new plush jacket in the store, red, festive and fashionable, and warm, it is the most suitable for Mrs. Hu to wear." ”

Hu Yaohua kicked him with a gesture, "Get out, Master Hu, I'm here with Mr. Xu today, which one is the main owner can't see it, what does the old man Shen see?" ”

"My father went out to visit relatives, you want to find him for tea, I'm afraid it will take two days!" The big felt hat said with a grin.

Xu Xuecheng ignored the two of him, and took the new plush jacket in his hand, and held it lightly in his hand, pinched it down, and puffed it up again, isn't this a rough version of the down jacket, and he doesn't remember when he told this thing to Horn Liu.

Thinking about the down jacket king who started with a sewing machine in his previous life, he should still be opening his small factory in Changshu now, Xu Xuecheng could only say sorry silently in his heart.

"Mr. Xu, right, I'm Shen Wensheng, I've admired the name for a long time, if you don't dislike it, just pick, I will give you all the ones you like today."

Xu Xuecheng didn't expect that this big felt hat was Shen Wensheng, and the front door was a clothing king with the same name as Hu Yaohua, and it was this fat man with a middle-long figure?

"Thank you very much!" Xu Xuecheng was not polite.

In recent years, businessmen are all fine, seeing Hu Yaohua personally accompanying him, Shen Wensheng can not be surprised, besides, this is his own industry anyway, taking things in his own store, it's not too much, right? !

The store is bustling, and it is almost the New Year, and the big girls and daughters-in-law of each family have saved up a year's scraps, but in order to buy a few sets of new clothes for the whole family for the New Year, this piece of land is more prosperous than Hu Yaohua's side.

chose a dress for his parents Xu Feiyan and others, and he also changed into a "foreign" jacket of the current era, and several people said goodbye to Shen Wensheng.

"That's okay, I'll trouble you today, thank you for this dress, I'll go first," Xu Xuecheng said to Hu Yaohua.

Hu Yaohua handed back the big bag and small bag in his hand to Xu Xuecheng, and asked, "Why don't I send you back, I have a side three-wheeler." ”

Xu Xuecheng waved his hand, "Don't bother, I rode the twenty-eight bars." ”

This time, the transportation capacity of the 28 bars is no worse than that of the motorcycles of later generations, the big iron bars of the front tripod are tied to 50 or 60 pounds of things, and the rear seats can also bring two adults or three children.

Xu Xuecheng and Yu Ping were relatively early in the school, and the counselor knew that Xu Xuecheng was from Jiangxi Province, and it was not easy to catch the train during the New Year, so he granted leave.

The day before leaving, I called the girls in Yu Ping's bedroom, plus their classmates and friends, to go to Sihai Restaurant to stew a hot pot together.

"Comrades, after this year, let's see you another day!" Xu Xuecheng said with a cup.

"Come on, you're going to go through the New Year, and see if you can come when school starts next year," as soon as Man Tuanjie's words came out, the people in the box laughed.

Xu Xuecheng wanted to stomp his feet angrily, "Drinking and drinking, you are not allowed to cheat, your feelings are boring!" ”

Li Hegang brought up a pot of sheep scorpions (sheep vertebrae), gurgling and bubbling, and was chopsticks by several meat-eating men, and one of them took one first.

Xu Xuecheng sandwiched one for Yu Ping, and picked up a big one in each of the girls' bowls, and said with a smile, "You're welcome, my roommates never spit out bones,"

Everyone laughed again, Zheng Zhicheng gnawed on the bones while scolding Xu Xuecheng for not being righteous and slandering his image in front of the female comrades.

When this turtle grandson said this, his eyes were still glancing at Zhao Yingmei.

The wine and food are neatly organized, a table is lively, the cups are netting, the chopsticks are fighting in the pot, several girls are infected and let go, Xu Xuecheng occasionally tells a few funny jokes, and the house is full of applause.

When it came to going home, a table of people talked about the customs of the New Year in various places, and they remembered the old house with a patio in Xujiawu, and they didn't know if there was water or ice this year.

When they were eating and drinking, the boys present took the initiative and acted as flower messengers to escort the girls back.

When he went out, Li He helped him and asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to give you a ride, the streets are not very peaceful at night during the New Year,"

Xu Xuecheng shook his head, "No, Zhu Xinyu and I will go back to Baofusi Bridge to sleep, and we will go to the train station together tomorrow." ”

The next day, the train departed at 11 o'clock, and several people didn't have to get up too early.

At 8 o'clock, Xu Xuecheng woke up Zhu Xinyu, the two of them slept in Li He's room before, and Yu Ping and Wang Yuwei slept in their master bedroom.

Pushing open the door, the two girls got up early, Yu Ping brought hot water, slapped it in the face, and held a hot towel in his hand, "Brother Chengcheng, wash your face!" ”

"Look at the days when we came to stretch out our hands!" Xu Xuecheng suddenly had the urge to let Yu Ping move in, since it was inconvenient to live in the small courtyard of Baofusi Bridge, he had a few sets of courtyards in Houhai, so he would live there.

Xu Xuecheng made up his mind that when he came back from school next year, he would decorate a courtyard house and try to be a master himself.

washed his face comfortably, and looked at Zhu Xinyu with envy, "Yuwei, where is my face wash?" ”

"In the well, burn it yourself!" Wang Yuwei said with a cup of soy milk.

Xu Xuecheng smiled crookedly.

I don't know if it's because Beiping Station is the starting station, or if it's not yet time for the army to return to their hometown, the train station is not so busy, and the four of them found their bunks half an hour in advance, and there are only a few of them in the whole carriage.

After changing the sleeper ticket, the four took out the poker and played a double buckle, which is also the way Xu Xuecheng taught them, and it was very popular in Zhejiang and Jiangxi in later generations.

"Shopping, eating," Xu Xuecheng They also ate and slept in the car, slept and ate, compared to when they got up, they were so happy to have a sleeper to lie down, and the carriage was not so heavy in winter, so when the four of them arrived in the provincial capital, they didn't feel too tired.

When he walked out of the platform, he saw He Guoliang from afar, wearing a big windbreaker, a velvet hat, and his hands hidden in a pair of leather gloves, waving at him.

"This way!"

got on his "Land Cruiser", the car was big enough, and the luggage of several people was put down as soon as the trunk was put down, Xu Xuecheng also knew this, so she made a special trip to pick her up.

"Do you want to take a stroll around the provincial capital and send you back another day?" He Guoliang asked.

"No need, just send us back!" Xu Xuecheng is eager to return home now, how can he have the leisure to stay in Hongcheng.

Although He Guoliang's ancestral home is Hangzhou, he has been in Hong Kong for decades, and his Mandarin accent still has a Hong Kong flavor.

Zhu Xinyu and they heard that this was a Hong Kong person, and it was very likely that he was still a boss when he was dressed, but he didn't expect Xu Xuecheng to find a Hong Kong person to pick him up, he and Wang Yuwei glanced at each other, and both of them tacitly agreed not to ask more.

But Yu Ping didn't think much about it, he just felt that Brother Cheng Cheng was so powerful, and the car was so big.

When the car stopped at the gate of the farmer's vegetable garden, Xu Xuecheng found that the old pine tree at the door was still green, much better than the dry branches in Beiping City.

The first to find out about Xu Xuecheng were the soldiers standing guard at the gate, they were all familiar faces, Xu Xuecheng handed out a pack of cigarettes, "Tell Brother Li, I'll go to the camp to eat another day." ”

The GI stuffed Marlboro into his pocket and said hello.

Pushing the door in, my mother was chatting with a group of aunts in the store, and suddenly saw Xu Xuecheng coming back, she was very surprised, rushed over and took his hand, and looked at it from head to toe, "It's gone~"

Xu Xuecheng knew that she was going to say that!

How could it be, I went to Sihai Restaurant every day in Beiping during this time, and the meat was two catties longer, probably in the eyes of all mothers, the children who returned from afar were "gone".

"What are you doing standing, put things in your room," Wang Meilan took the box in Xu Xuecheng's hand.

Ask for a ticket with a shy face
