Chapter 711: Thanksgiving (1)
Every time he sees Honglan, Zhou Xiaoan can think of the previous Zhou Xiaoan, or Tang Huilan, or those little girls who take care of their younger siblings and take on housework like them in this era. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Honglan may have a harder time than other little girls, because her mother and father are a bit special.
Honglan's mother has a very nice name, called Yu Niang, she was a girl in a brothel before liberation, and Honglan was also conceived in the brothel in the year of liberation. So in fact she was a child of unknown father.
After the liberation, the state reformed the prostitute-women-, so that they became self-supporting laborers, Honglan's mother was reformed in the correctional home for half a year, and when she came out, she participated in the blind date organized by the government, and married Honglan's father with a big belly for eight months.
Honglan's father will marry a big-bellied-prostitute-girl-, of course, he has his own problems. He was the son of a reactionary capitalist.
Before liberation, he was the son of the shopkeeper of Huichuntang, one of the largest pharmacies in Peizhou, and his father's experience and craftsmanship were passed on to him.
But the medicinal herb store has only been open for half a month, and a big business has not been done before it is liberated.
After the liberation, his father's enemies reported them, and the guy who was fired by his father for stealing medicine in his early years also stood up and testified, accusing their family of persecuting the working people, being unkind to the rich, and being reactionary capitalists who ate human flesh and blood!
Their family was quickly determined, the family property was confiscated, the father was shot, and in the end, he was left alone trembling and alive, waiting to be dragged out to criticize or even shoot at any time.
In this case, the government suddenly asked him to go on a blind date, saying that he wanted to find him a daughter-in-law, what could he choose? To give a daughter-in-law is to let him live a good life, and he will not be killed! What kind of woman can you care about?
And Honglan's mother has no choice.
Honglan's mother and Honglan's father formed a family in this way, and later gave birth to four daughters one after another.
However, Honglan's father has a problem with his identity and has not had a formal job, because he has a good skill in brewing Chinese medicine, so he was recruited by the pharmaceutical company to be a temporary worker.
In fact, he is doing the work of a technical director, but he is getting a temporary salary of more than ten yuan a month.
And he must be ready to be pulled out to criticize at any time, and he must nod his head when he sees anyone, and everyone is qualified to stop him on the road and teach him a lesson like a grandson.
As for family members being discriminated against and beaten and scolded for no reason, it is even more common.
That's it, his job is said to be impossible to keep. How dangerous it is for a reactionary capitalist to come in the People's Pharmaceutical Factory!
The factory has arranged for someone to apprentice with him, and he plans to quit him when he learns it. And if the apprentice doesn't learn well, he should be asked to do a review, saying that he is hiding his personal interests and refuses to teach with his heart.
Living in such an environment, the situation of Honglan's family can be imagined. So Honglan and several younger sisters are timid and inferior, and never take the initiative to talk to people, let alone visit people.
Coming to Zhou Xiaoan today may be the first time in their lives that they have taken the initiative to visit someone else's house.
Hongyu was most afraid of coming to Xiaolou, always worried that her sister and mother would throw her down and leave again, it was Honglan who coaxed her to come over, and they came to kowtow to Zhou Xiaoan and thank her for saving her life.
Yu Niang was embarrassed by her identity and was afraid that Zhou Xiao'an would be taboo, so she didn't dare to come over. Usually, Honglan is the one who deals with people in their family, so although she is only a twelve-year-old girl, it is not the first time that she has gone out to run errands on behalf of her parents.
The sisters brought freshly picked wild vegetables as a thank you gift, and they were both shy and timid, but they were not reckless.
When they entered the door, they knew how to say hello politely, and sat in a proper manner, Honglan's voice was not loud but her words clearly explained her intention to Zhou Xiaoan, expressing their family's gratitude to Zhou Xiaoan for their help, and then pulled her sister to kneel down and kowtow to Zhou Xiaoan.
Of course, Zhou Xiaoan and Auntie couldn't let them kneel, so they quickly stopped them one by one, Auntie was soft-hearted, and she had begun to shed tears after listening to the ins and outs, and Zhou Xiaoan also understood that Comrade Shen Yuehai did good deeds without leaving her own name, so she took on this good name.
I don't know how he operates, Honglan's mother inquired around the factory, turned around for I don't know how many turns, and finally figured out that it was Zhou Xiaoan who felt that Hongyu was pitiful, and she couldn't look past it, so she mentioned it to the people in the street office and gave her a job opportunity.
And although the sentence mentioned is very effective, it is also private and not known.
Therefore, Honglan repeatedly emphasized to Zhou Xiaoan that their family remembered her great kindness and would never tell her about helping them.
This child has endured countless blank eyes since he was a child, and he is very clear about his family's situation, and many times even if someone wants to help them, he is afraid of getting into trouble, so he knows how to avoid it.
Zhou Xiaoan listened to Honglan's nose and eyes talking about her good deeds, and her smile was almost unbearable.
Comrade Shen Yuehai, you don't need to be so serious about lying! made it detailed and logical, so that she felt sorry for his hard work if she wanted to deny it.
The two little girls were skinny and skinny, and their clothes were very shabby, but they were very clean and tidy, and they sat there nervously after saying the words of gratitude, and their obedient appearance made people pity and love.
Zhou Xiaoan is used to seeing his younger brothers at home, just stay honest and have a tiger spirit, and then look at the two little girls and feel very pleasing to the eye, take candy to tease them to talk, and catch the little bear and the little tiger for them to play.
Honglan touched Xiaohu's fat head very sensibly and stopped touching it, Hongyu hugged the bear and couldn't put it down, and she laughed out loud with joy.
The bear was not interested in the skinny little red jade, but he didn't resist either, and he slept with his tail curled up in a ball, soft and white, with a few black spots on it, and recently it has gained weight again, and it looks more like a rice ball.
Familiar with a little, Honglan saw that her aunt was making cotton shoes, so she took the initiative to help her spread cotton, don't look at her young age, she can already make her sisters' cotton clothes and cotton shoes alone, cook and wash with her sister, and there is almost nothing she doesn't do with housework.
The two little girls didn't go back until dinner time, saying that they wouldn't stay for dinner.
Zhou Xiao'an accepted their wild vegetables, filled Hongyu with two pockets of sugar, and put a plate of self-made shepherd's cabbage buns in the wild vegetable basket for them to take back.
For such a cute and measured person who knows how to be grateful, it will also feel very comfortable to give kindness. Zhou Xiaoan was in a very good mood, and Shen Yuehai came to eat in the evening, and praised him with dishes several times.
However, there may be a problem with her eyes to convey her admiration, and after eating, he pulled her to the new house in the name of taking a walk to see Shen Mei by the way.
Zhou Xiaoan has been fooled several times, and finally has experience, knowing that as soon as she enters the new house, the old cadres who are usually gentle and restrained will become werewolves, and they are also werewolves on full moon nights, and she generally does not dare to follow them easily.
