Chapter 24: Home and Prosperity
Seeing his mother regain her momentum and go back to the house to pick up the light to overcome the difficulties, Wu Fan's hand in his pocket finally let go of the card. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If that didn't work, he was already planning to throw the card.
Even if he tried to expose his secret, he didn't want his mother's heart to be frustrated, and he never recovered.
Luckily, thankfully!
Once the biggest difficulty in the family passed safely, Wu Fan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Fortunately, he was prepared, first of all, he gave his mother a direction to practice, and laid the groundwork for diverting his mother's attention today; Later, he secretly assigned the renovation project of the Malatang store to his father, thus leaving him a way out.
Now, when the tide of unemployment really affects them, although they are still sad and desperate, they will not be as desperate and despondent as they once were.
Relaxed, Wu Fan said to his father who patted him on the shoulder: "Dad, you tell Mom that you can go to the tailor shop to find some scraps to study and study those samples of imported fabrics." When she really has ideas and directions and needs to use money to start a business, let's find a way together as a family. ”
Wu Guangyao snuffed out the cigarette butt and said, "Son, you have grown up and become sensible after all." ”
After sleeping until three o'clock in the morning, Wu Fan came to the hall with his sleepy eyes. The squeaking in the west room stopped, and then Cui Yuhua's voice came out: "There is pimple soup in the pot, I have it heated and eaten." ”
Wu Fan sighed, brushed his teeth and washed his face, approached the stove, touched the wooden lid of the pot, and it was already cold. Turning to the stove, he lit a match, grabbed the hay and lit it, and threw it into the stove.
After a few handfuls of hay were burned, there was a ziz sound in the pot. Lift the lid of the pot, take the palm-sized porcelain bowl, and fill it with a full bowl, which is full of aroma.
The temperature was still below zero, and I didn't feel hot at all with the hot porcelain bowl in my hand.
Carrying the porcelain bowl to the door, Wu Fan had just sat down. The black dog that was sleeping in front of the haystack in the distance immediately got up, shook its shiny black hair, and then wagged its tail and strolled over.
"Black long straight, sit down."
The black dog's tail swept away, wrapped his buttocks, and sat down against Wu Fan's feet, staring at Wu Fan and the porcelain bowl in his hand with his left eye under his white eyebrows.
Wu Fan drank a big mouthful of pimple soup, and said with a chew: "Hei Changzhi, you must have eaten it, right?" ”
The black dog whined, turned his head, bent his front legs, and lay down. The meaning is self-explanatory: 'Since you have to say that, it doesn't matter if you eat it~'
At the end of the meal, there are still some bowls left, and they are almost cold. Wu Fan got up and shouted, "Hei Changzhi, come here, I'll reward you for this." As he spoke, he poured the remaining bottom of the bowl into the black dog's rice bowl.
The black dog's tail waged even more cheerfully.
Wu Fan watched it eat happily and advised: "It's almost the New Year, stay with your family honestly, don't go out to hang around if you have nothing to do, lest you be stolen by others and go to the dinner table!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the black dog had already licked the rice bowl clean.
"Alright, Hei Changzhi, go over there and bask in your sun."
The black dog stretched out its front paws and waited for Wu Fan to touch it, before he happily walked straight to the haystack.
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Wu Fan wiped his mouth, and saw his mother come out of the hall and said, "Son, you stay at home by yourself, and I'll go to the city to find fabric." ”
Wu Fan hurriedly shouted: "Hey, Mom, wait for me, it just so happens that I also went out for a walk." ”
The two locked the door, and Wu Fan took the key. Cui Yuhua pushed the bicycle and left the house together.
Along the path in front of the village, Cui Yuhua chatted with his son about his grades while greeting neighbors from time to time. They are all relatives and neighbors, stopping from time to time along the way, and chatting about two sentences of homely or weather, or work, or annual harvest.
Suddenly, a series of firecrackers exploded in front of me. Cui Yuhua was stunned and said, "Sanniangli, what kind of moth is there in his house?" As he spoke, he went to the house where the firecrackers were set off.
Wu Fan only listened to the third mother-in-law's babbling; "You said that Xiao Bao's family, didn't you just buy a four-wheeled car, and his Aunt Xue is exhibiting at the door. Yuhua, do you want to see it too? ”
Cui Yuhua's face changed, and he picked up the bicycle and said, "Sanniang, I'm gone." Don't go to the city for something, you get busy first, I'll go. ”
As he spoke, he pushed up the bicycle and urged Wu Fan to go straight.
Wu Fan took in the changes in his mother's face, he had long heard that his mother and Aunt Xue were at odds with each other.
It's really not a big contradiction, they were all sisters together when they were young. It's just that after working and getting married, this Aunt Xue always likes to compete for the length and compare the high. After a lot of times, the two of them had an unpleasant quarrel.
It's a pity that people often come to what they are afraid of.
Before Cui Yuhua had time to leave, Aunt Xue was already across the vegetable garden, and raised her voice to greet: "Yuhua, why don't you come and sit down when you pass by the door?" Ouch, Xiaofan is also there, come on, come on, it's really a rare guest. ”
At this point, Cui Yuhua could only prick the bicycle with a cold face and reluctantly walked over.
"Aiying, why did you call me? I'm still in a hurry to go into the city to run errands. ”
Aunt Xue's full name is Xue Aiying, which is the same as loving the country and the people, and it is a name with the characteristics of the socialist era. However, her expression at the moment clearly reveals the pride of the capitalist petty citizens.
As soon as Cui Yuhua's words fell, the mother-in-law who was already having a loud voice next to her shouted: "Yuhua, is this not clear?" You see that the old Bao Duo is capable, and the four-wheeled Santana is all on. This guy is shiny and shiny, and he has too much face. Aiying is blessed~"
"Yo, really!" Even if Cui Yuhua turns a blind eye, he can't ignore such a big car.
The entire Sanxianzhuang can drive a car, this is the first one. If you don't show off, I'm afraid you'll be crazy.
Wu Fan circled around Santana, although the car was kept as good as new inside and out, it still couldn't hide the fact that it was a second-hand car. For example, the wear of the front and rear tires, the marks in the keyhole of the door, etc.
Xue Aiying saw that Cui Yuhua's eyes did not show the slightest envy, and she always felt panicked in her heart. So Yin and Yang said in a strange tone: "Yuhua, I heard that you lost your iron job job?" Lao Wu's unit is not good, how is it at home, if you need it, just ask, don't be polite. ”
Wu Fan couldn't help but shudder, this Aunt Xue was clearly sneering at her mother. Looking at his mother's iron-green face that couldn't bear it, Wu Fan really couldn't bear it.
He patted the roof of Santana's car and said, "Mom, what Aunt Xue said is right." Uncle Bao will get this second-hand car, at least 70,000 or 80,000. Our family might as well borrow some money from Aunt Xue and spend it and have a good year! ”
The people around him immediately burst out.
"It turned out to be second-hand, then Aiying said it was a new car just now, and it was all about 200,000 yuan."
……
Xue Aiying was exposed on the spot, her face was blue and white for a while, and she just wanted to find a hole to get into.
Cui Yuhua had a big heart, and pretended to reprimand: "Son, our family is not short of money, what are you kidding with your Aunt Xue." Aiying, we will go first......"
