The car back to the city drove very smoothly, and when I got home, it was just dark, and the yard was wafting with the smell of scallion oil, and every family was preparing dinner. After Tian Guo entered the house, he carefully took out the cornmeal given by Erxi from his schoolbag and poured it into the small white porcelain jar containing the mixed noodles. Grandma wore reading glasses as usual, sat in front of the kang table with needle and thread in her hand, sewing and mending, and the old radio next to the table was playing Liu Baorui's stand-up comedy "Officialdom Fight", Liu Yong once again used wisdom to rest with Heshen, grandma laughed, turned her head and asked Tian Guo outside the house: "Guo'er, what do we eat at night?" Porridge or jajangmyeon? As he spoke, his eyes sank again, and fell on the small brown paper bag on the table, which was slightly open, revealing a few neatly stacked wheat bran biscuits.

This biscuit is imported from abroad, is it from Japan or the United States? Anyway, they are all capital/capitalist/righteous countries, and they take wheat bran as a baby, saying that it is a healthy food, and it is good for the body after eating. What's the matter, when I went to work in the countryside, this thing was fed to livestock, but now it has become a treasure for people to eat. Grandma doesn't understand that the world changes quickly, but her eyes are sharp and poisonous, she feels that she will not admit mistakes, this thing gave herself a few pieces when she went out for a walk a few years ago, saying that it was bought back when his mother went to perform abroad, and it was delicious.

The grandparents and grandchildren boiled a pot of stick noodle porridge at night, Tian Guo and some sesame sauce, and there was sesame salt made by grandma herself last week in the house, after the porridge was served, two large spoons of sesame sauce were poured on it, and some sesame salt was sprinkled, and then accompanied by three white fine noodle rolls, plus a plate of cold shredded potatoes, this dinner is really hearty.

During the meal, the grandmother seemed to ask inadvertently: "Is the Huan Ran of the Niu family still working in Zaozhuang?" ”

"Hmm." Tian Guo replied casually, she was so hungry after running for a day that she was not in the mood to chat at all.

"When will he be back?" Grandma asked again.

"Next Tuesday."

"He's tanned, isn't he?"

"No, it's a lot darker, almost unrecognizable." Tian Guo took a mouthful of shredded potatoes and put it in his mouth.

Grandma pursed her lips and smiled, and then asked, "He gave you those cookies?" ”

"yes, have you tasted it? We don't sell that thing here, it was brought back by Aunt Wu Zhen when she went to perform abroad, you can taste it later. "Wheat bran biscuits are certainly not a rare thing for Tian Guo, more than ten years later any supermarket has been sold, but the times are different, and they are brought back from abroad, the gift is light and affectionate, Tian Guo is reluctant to eat alone, sitting in the car several times to take out to quench hunger, and finally stopped in time, thinking that grandma must not have eaten, and has to take it back to share with her.

Grandma said, "It's a good thing, keep it for yourself." ”

Tian Guo smiled, took a pair of chopsticks and shredded potatoes and put them into his grandmother's bowl, and said angrily: "Look at what you said, it's just a few biscuits, and I just want you to taste it when I bring it back from afar." Brother Huan Ran gave a total of six yuan, and after eating for a while, you have three yuan, and I have three yuan, okay? ”

Grandma shook her head lightly and said in a strange tone: "People specially wrapped it for you, why am I embarrassed to taste it?" It is estimated that I have not been willing to eat it when I brought it to Zaozhuang, so I am waiting for you to go over. Then he said to himself as if he was complaining about stand-up comedy, "Oh, it's really strange, how did you say that Huan Ran kid knew that you would still go." ”

A mouthful of flower rolls was stuck in Tian Guo's throat, and grandma had something to say, and began to mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, isn't it just a few biscuits, why is it related to the relationship between men and women? Holding back goosebumps, Tian Guo said helplessly: "Grandma, whether you believe it or not, I really have nothing to do with Brother Huanran, he treats me as a sister, I treat him as a brother, that's it, don't think about the relationship between men and women in the future, the times are different, there are various modes of getting along between men and women, unlike feudal society, men and women are not close to each other, and there is no blood relationship to say that it is to break the shoes, you didn't read the newspaper to say, college students have taken the lead in ballroom dancing, have you ever seen ballroom dancing?" Tian Guo struck a dancing pose, "Just like this, the boy and the girl are holding hands, and there is physical contact, the boy puts his hand on the girl's waist, and the girl puts his hand on the boy's shoulder." ”

Grandma frowned, thinking to herself, what is the difference between this and breaking shoes? Pouted and shook his head: "It's immoral, what are you doing with that thing?" Learned from the Americans, right? Hum! Boys take advantage, girls suffer, Xiaoguo'er, you are not allowed to learn from them to go out and dance blindly! If you dare to go, I'll break your leg with a crutch! ”

Ha! After being reborn for so long, Tian Guo saw his grandmother lose his temper for the first time, so he hurriedly comforted him.

Tian Guo picked up the bowl, "snoring" and hurriedly drank the remaining porridge, got up and "educated" grandma while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "We live in the neighborhood, our family is difficult, Brother Huan Ran is warm-hearted, if you have nothing to do, help us casually, don't misunderstand, let alone say what you think in your heart, otherwise people will be embarrassed to help us in the future, you remember, YY is not good, harm others and yourself." ”

“YY？ What is YY? Grandma understood the rest, but she didn't understand these two letters, "Is it the kind of alphabet foreign language spoken in the electric box?" ”

Tian Guo's heart trembled, and in a hurry, he actually said the Internet phrases that the young people had been talking about every day twenty years later. Sweep a few times on the kang table with a rag, and say lightly: "You continue to listen to cross talk, I went to wash the dishes, tomorrow Monday, the store will be cleaned, I have to go early." ”

She lifted the curtain with the dishes and chopsticks and left, but her grandmother sat on the bed and fell into deep thought.

The next day, Tian Guo got up early, simply freshened up and went to the barbershop. The reason why I went so early was because yesterday sitting in the car back to the city, she made a decision - to resign!

The barbershop earns too little, only 20 yuan a month, not to mention the well-off, even poverty alleviation is a problem. And I don't know the year of the monkey, Tian Guo inquired in the countryside, that is, Zhang Yang is the kind of leader of the children of relatives to turn into a positive thing is also far away, you have to look at the table, look at the results, look at the contribution, if a qiē shun lì, the fastest to do it will take a year. Tian Guo's heart was half cold after hearing this, thinking that it would be good for him to turn positive before the Four Heavenly Kings got together.

In this case, it is better to go to the sea to do business as soon as possible, and if you fail, you will have a chance to start over, and spending it in the barber shop is completely delaying your youth. The late 80s and early 90s were a golden period for many people to accumulate wealth, and if they missed it, they would never have to do it again. Tian Guo can't let the good time slip away like this.

But it's not easy to resign, what about the file? At that time, there was no talent center, and the files were all placed in the unit, and if you resigned, it was a big problem if the files were changed. Tian Guo thought in his heart that he would talk to Dong Guihua first today, and act when he saw the opportunity, anyway, it was indispensable to give gifts and pat on the back, and it was a big deal to scatter some money, Dong Guihua was greedy for money, he loved to take advantage of a little advantage, the city government was not deep, but he was not forgiving, and it was easy to deal with.

Hurried to the barber shop, the door was still locked, Tian Guo ate a sugar pancake and a bowl of noodle tea at a restaurant opened by a Muslim across the street, and when he came back, he happened to see Zhang Yang open the door.

"Oh, you're here!" Tian Guo ran over with a smile, thinking that while there was no one in the store, he would tell him in advance that he was going to resign, not because he was so close, but mainly because he was thinking about Dong Guihua. In any case, after the work of Zaozhuang, her relationship with Zhang Yang has been significantly improved, and there is a trend of developing in the direction of girlfriends.

Seeing Tian Guo, Zhang raised his eyebrows, looked around, stretched out his hand and dragged her tightly into the store, closed the store door in a panic, and almost turned off the lights and curtains.

Tian Guo wanted to laugh, he was like this, as if the two of them were going to do "bad things" in broad daylight. Fortunately, the street aunt who was patrolling the street with a red armband on her right shoulder didn't pay attention to this, otherwise it was not impossible to call the old sister to crash open the barber shop door and catch / rape on the spot.

Thinking like this, Tian Guo burst out laughing.

"Don't laugh!" Zhang Yang stomped his feet angrily, scratching his head with his hands, as if he was trying to figure out how to speak.

"What's wrong with you?" Tian Guo looked at him like a neurotic.

Zhang Yang let out a long sigh, glanced at Tian Guo, and whispered: "I told you, you have to hold on!" ”

Tian Guo smiled again, thinking that he had survived such a big thing as rebirth, what else could he not hold? Unless something happens to grandma, the rest is not a problem. "Tell me, what's going on. Was my application for regularization last month rejected by your aunt? ”

Zhang Yang bit his lip, "It's worse than that!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Yesterday I went to my aunt's house for dinner, and I received a letter at noon, anonymous." Zhang Yang looked anxious, and spoke much faster than usual, "The content of the letter is about you." ”

"Mine?" Tian Guo was confused.

"Hmm." Zhang Yang nodded, licked his lips and said, "It's still the broken sesame oil ticket, saying that you stole your neighbor's things, although the neighbor later withdrew the case, but the people in the alley knew that you took the things, and the person who wrote the letter said, as your unit and leader, my aunt must have to take care of the face, Tian Guo, you are ready, my aunt is very angry!" ”

"Not really." A qiē came too suddenly, and Tian Guo was a little blind. Who wrote the letter? Cao！ Let's tear it up! She really couldn't remember who she had offended recently.

"Oops, you don't know! The man owed a lot, wrote a letter to my aunt, and by the way wrote a letter to the superior leader, you know, my aunt has always wanted to be the store manager, for this matter up and down a lot of relationships, but also gave a lot of gifts, just rice sent almost 100 pounds. My uncle-in-law is too, such a tall cadre, stunned for my aunt to pull down his identity and beg people to go around for a relationship, and he was about to become a store manager, but something like this happened, the leader said, if you don't deal with you, she wants to be the store manager! After hanging up the phone, my aunt was about to faint, she didn't eat, and she cried alone in the house for a long time. Tian Guo, you're going to be there anyway."

Zhang Yang didn't know what to say, but Tian Guo figured it out, it seemed that he couldn't stay in this store no matter if he was. First beating people, and now stealing things, it's really better to be a human being, whose hand is so owed? Will this help her, or will she be put to death?

What else can I do next? Ask for more blessings.
