The purchasing power of thirty yuan in ninety-two is still very strong, early in the morning of Sunday, Shen Shuzhen went out to buy vegetables, she is familiar with this kind of work, and after a while, she bought back a bunch of chicken, duck and fish, and began to gather wine and food.

Ding Hongxing also went out early in the morning, he went to Chen Jianxin's game hall as usual, played games for more than an hour, and earned ten yuan, which is still very important to him for ten yuan a day, and with such a master as Ding Hongxing sitting here, the business here is getting better and better.

When Chen Jianxin gave Ding Hongxing money, he quietly told Ding Hongxing that after Zhu Xiaoming was broken by Ding Hongxing, his former enemies looked for him everywhere and wanted to take advantage of his illness and kill him, but Zhu Xiaoming was very alert, and he and a few younger brothers disappeared that day, and he didn't know where he ran away.

And Zhu Xiaoming's other younger brothers, after Zhu Xiaoming ran away, were also scattered, so that one of the most beautiful gangsters in Guicheng was broken up by Ding Hongxing alone.

Chen Jianxin was also emotionally moved when he told Ding Hongxing about this, but Ding Hongxing's face was very calm, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed, Zhu Xiaoming was so seriously injured, he was able to endure the pain and run away immediately, he can be regarded as a ruthless person, and he is alert enough, but if it weren't for this, he would not have been able to make a great name in Guicheng's gangster circle in a short period of time, but unluckily he encountered his own BUG, otherwise he would have a few years to live a good life. Until he was hit by the dictatorship and ate that peanut.

Ding Hongxing didn't take this matter to heart, he took the money and went home, and there are still guests coming to the house today.

When he returned home, Ding Hongxing saw the eldest uncle Ding Yuanchao sitting in the hall of the house, and he called "uncle".

Ding Yuanchao was called by Ding Yuejin to accompany the guests, although Ding Yuanchao is just an ordinary cadre of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, but he is an official person, in the small place of Guicheng, he is a relatively face-saving person, although Ding Yuejin himself also has the title of deputy director of the workshop, but he has always regarded himself as a worker, and his income is not high now, so he is still a little unconfident, so he called the eldest brother to accompany the guest, he thinks that Kong Zhaoqiang is also a leading cadre, or let the eldest brother accompany him.

Ding Yuanchao smiled and nodded to Ding Hongxing: "Hongxing is back!" ”

Ding Hongxing smiled politely and nodded to Ding Yuanchao: "Well, I'm back." ”

In Ding Hongxing's previous life, after his father's sacrifice, Ding Yuanchao still fulfilled his responsibility as an eldest brother and took good care of the orphans and widows of his younger brother's family, which made Ding Hongxing also very respectful of Ding Yuanchao, so his attitude towards Ding Yuanchao was very polite, but this made Ding Yuanchao a little surprised, because in his impression, this nephew is still a child, and he is a little rebellious, and he doesn't have much to say to his relatives at home, why is he so polite to himself today?

Ding Yuanchao smiled: "It seems that Hongxing is really sensible!" ”

Ding Yuejin didn't answer, as a father, he was not used to praising his son in front of others, of course, he was still very happy about his son's changes.

Shen Shuzhen is different, she chose the dishes, and said happily: "Yes, Hongxing is really sensible, and now he knows that he goes to do odd jobs to supplement his family, and the money he paid for groceries today is the money he earned from doing odd jobs." ”

Ding Yuanchao was even more surprised when he heard this, how could this nephew seem to have grown up overnight? He groaned: "Red Star knows how to share the worries of his family, of course this is a good thing, but he must not fall behind in his studies, and he will still have to be admitted to university in the future to be successful." ”

Shen Shuzhen listened to Ding Yuanchao's words, and said to Ding Hongxing with some concern: "Hongxing, what your uncle said makes sense, you don't dare to lose your studies, or you won't work this job, right?" Mom and Dad can hold on. ”

Ding Yuejin also looked at his son, with a sad look in his eyes.

Ding Hongxing smiled and said: "Dad, Mom, I haven't left my studies behind, my summer vacation homework has already been done, and I borrowed the textbooks of the second year of high school from others, and I am previewing every day, it won't be delayed, if you don't believe it, you will know after the school starts." ”

Shen Shuzhen nodded, she could see her son reading in her room every night, and she said to Ding Hongxing: "Then you also have to pay attention to your body, don't tire yourself." ”

Ding Hongxing bent his upper arms and made an exaggerated movement to show his muscles: "I exercise every day, and my body is great." ”

Shen Shuzhen was amused by her son's funny appearance, and Ding Yuejin and Ding Yuanchao couldn't help but laugh.

Ding Hongxing asked again: "Dad, do you want me to buy two bottles of wine and come back?" ”

Ding Yuejin said: "Your uncle brought two bottles of good wine, so you don't need to buy the wine." ”

Only then did Ding Hongxing notice that there were two bottles of wine on the table of the Eight Immortals at home, which he recognized as coming from the provincial city Jiangcheng Distillery

Jiangcheng spring wine, it is really a good wine, and it costs more than ten yuan a bottle in the store, and these two bottles of wine are worth today's food money.

Ding Hongxing said to Ding Yuanchao: "Thank you, uncle!" ”

Ding Yuanchao waved his hand and said, "What does the family say?" Anyway, I didn't spend any money on this wine, and I don't drink at home alone, so when will I not drink at this time? ”

Of course, it is a gift from someone else who doesn't spend money, although Ding Yuanchao is just an ordinary cadre, but he is in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, it is harmless to receive such a small gift, and as far as Ding Hongxing knows, Ding Yuanchao still pays attention to this aspect of his life, and there are cigarettes and alcohol, and money will never be collected, so he is only a well-off level in his life.

There's no way, the atmosphere of this era is like this, if someone else asks you to do something, and if you don't bring some gifts to the door, he will be uneasy in his own heart.

Ding Hongxing wanted to help his mother choose vegetables, but Shen Shuzhen didn't let him do it, she said that it was all women's work, and she asked her son to sit and talk to her uncle, Ding Hongxing had no choice but to obey.

Accompanied Ding Yuanchao for a while, there was someone at home again, this time it was Gong Jingtian, he has always taken care of Ding Yuejin, so Ding Yuejin has a very good relationship with him, invited Kong Zhaoqiang to dinner today, and also called him to accompany him.

Gong Jingtian was holding a dried muntjac hind leg and a pheasant in his hand, and said with a hearty smile: "It happened that a relative of mine in the mountains brought me a lot of game today, so I took these, which can be regarded as adding two dishes!" ”

Shen Shuzhen hurriedly put down the dishes in her hand, got up and took the things in Gong Jingtian's hand, and complained: "Secretary Gong, look at you, just come, and bring so many things, how can we be embarrassed?" It's enough to trouble you! ”

Gong Jingtian said: "I still have it at home, but there are many of them, and the refrigerator is almost unfilled." This thing is mainly a rarity, and it can't be bought in the vegetable market in the city, so it's not worth much. ”

Ding Yuanchao was also very familiar with Gong Jingtian, and he smiled: "Secretary Gong has brought some good things, you can have a few drinks today." ”

Gong Jingtian came with his youngest daughter Gong Lili, who just graduated from high school this year and was admitted to Guicheng Normal School, but has not yet started. She had a good relationship with Shen Shuzhen, and as soon as she arrived at Ding's house, she squatted down, called "Aunt Shen", and began to help Shen Shuzhen choose vegetables.

Not long after Gong Jingtian sat down, Kong Zhaoqiang's family arrived, he and his wife Yang Juan carried several large plastic bags, all of which were cigarettes, alcohol, pastries and other gifts, so panicked that Ding Yuejin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Director Kong, why are you so polite to have a light meal?" I can't afford to bring so many things! ”

Kong Zhaoqiang put the things in his hand on the side of the wall, and said to Ding Yuejin sincerely: "Brother Ding, my life was saved by the two of you, what is it for me to bring such a little thing?" ”

Yang Juan also put down the things in her hand and said with a smile: "Yes, I heard Zhaoqiang say that it was Brother Ding and his grandfather who saved his life, and Brother Ding will be our big brother in the future." I have long wanted to come to the door to recognize the door, but Zhaoqiang is busy every day, and he always has no time, so he didn't come to the door until today. ”

Ding Yuejin and Shen Shuzhen were polite for a while, Gong Jingtian and Ding Yuanchao also exchanged pleasantries with Kong Zhaoqiang, Kong Zhaoqiang learned that Gong Jingtian was the secretary of the Party Committee of the Red Star Factory, this is a department-level cadre, he couldn't help but be in awe, and called the leader, he himself is a person in the system, of course, he is very sensitive to the level, but Gong Jingtian himself did not claim to be a department-level cadre, he also started from the workshop worker, and has been promoted to the current position, usually very able to get along with the workers, without the slightest fight.

Gong Jingtian smiled: "Director Kong, what kind of leader am I?" I live in a tube building, have you ever seen a leader who lives in a tube building? ”

Although the Red Star Factory is poor, it is not so poor that the party secretary lives in a tube building, and Gong Jingtian has had several opportunities to improve his housing, but he has given them to others because he does not want to be separated from the masses.

Kong Zhaoqiang saw that Gong Jingtian was approachable, and he also smiled: "That's Secretary Gong's high style!" ”

Shen Shuzhen saw that the guests had arrived, so she hurriedly chose the dishes and prepared to stir-fry, Yang Juan also followed Shen Shuzhen into the kitchen without seeing anything else, helping her, and Gong Lili also followed, saying that she had learned a few cooking skills from Aunt Shen.

The kitchen of the Ding family is a shed built by themselves outside with asbestos tiles and linoleum, the area is very small, and the three of them can't turn around when they go in, so Shen Shuzhen let the two go out and sit and rest in the living room, the two saw that the kitchen was too small, so they had to go out, but they didn't rest, but went to the faucet in the yard to help wash the vegetables and wash the dishes.

And a few big men set up chess in the living room, and Ding Hongxing of course played the role of the second child who served tea and handed cigarettes.
