Chapter 20: Three Joys Are Coming
In the obstetrics and gynecology ward of Xiangjiang People's Hospital, Zhang Hui, who had just become a mother, was looking sideways at the cute baby in her arms.
The little guy named Liu Jiahui, was born six hours ago, six pounds and six taels, a chubby face, two strings of curved eyebrows, a pair of big bright eyes, a small nose, a fleshy little mouth, and a round double chin under the mouth. The hands are chubby, and the ten fingers are short and thick, how cute and cute they are.
"Xiaohui, it's time for the baby to sleep."
Just as she could see the gods, her husband's voice sounded in her ears, and Zhang Hui noticed that the eldest sister nurse was looking at her with a smile. Unlike Hong Kong, there are no room-sharing wards in the Mainland. Liu Siwei has to take care of her again, so he can only entrust a nurse to help take care of the newborn baby.
It's just going to be taken away after such a while, where is Zhang Hui willing to ask, "Nurse, when will the baby be with me?" ”
"At least twenty-four hours," the nurse carefully picked up the child, and said in a gentle voice: "Mrs. Liu, you must know that your body is very weak now and needs to rest, and you can only take care of the baby if you take care of your body well, right?" ”
"Then please." Watching the baby being carried out of the room, Zhang Hui was so reluctant.
Other people's mothers and mothers-in-law are there, and the wife is alone when she gives birth, and when she opens her eyes, it is an empty ward, and the baby is about to be taken away without even looking at it, so Liu Siwei always picks happy things and says.
"Xiaohui, today is really a day of three joys."
"Which three joys?"
"The first joy is, of course, the safety of your mother and son, thank God for sending you to me, I will redouble my efforts to make money to support my family in the future, not only can I not let you suffer the slightest grievance, but also give you and your baby a beautiful future."
Zhang Hui knew too well that the husband in front of her, who was 20 years older than herself, was wooden and unsociable, otherwise he would not have been assigned to a mainland factory by the headquarters.
I almost didn't hear him say sweet words to himself, this confession was not easy for him, thinking of this, my heart was sweet, and I thought about it for a while before I said weakly: "Ah Wei, I believe you will be a good father." Don't sell it, what's the second joy? ”
"The second joy is that your sister Zhang Lin has been admitted to university."
"Really?"
Liu Siwei put the brick-like big brother on the bedside table, and confirmed with a smile: "Really, I received a call from the third brother outside just now, and he said on the phone that Zhang Lin took the exam 523 points, and the admission score line is 510 points, if you count the extra points for the children of martyrs, it should be no problem to go to undergraduate." ”
"Great, it's really good, our Zhang family finally has a college student."
Zhang Hui was very happy that her sister was admitted to university, and she did not regret that she had not been admitted. After going through so many ups and downs, she had already thought about it, people have gains and losses, if she had been admitted to university at that time, she would not have come to Longkou Industrial Zone to work, she would not have known Liu Siwei, and it would be impossible to have a happy life now.
As he expected, his wife was sincerely happy, Liu Siwei stroked her hand and continued: "Zhang Lin was admitted to university, it stands to reason that you should go back, but you just gave birth to a baby, and you definitely can't go back." So I'm going to send some money and show my heart. I didn't think that the third brother had already thought about it, and he said that the trouble of remitting money has already given Zhang Lin a thousand in your name. ”
My husband has a big brother, and my brother has a telephone in the warehouse of the commercial bureau rented by my younger brother, so it is much easier to contact him than before. Zhang Hui didn't know how many times she had asked on the phone, and she even knew about him selling foreign exchange coupons.
Thinking that a thousand yuan is really nothing for a wealthy younger brother, Zhang Huiwan smiled and said: "This kid, if you want to do everything in front of us, then you won't send it." ”
"The third joy is that the Exit and Entry Administration Department of the Nanbin Public Security Bureau has approved your application to Hong Kong, and I will mail the baby's birth certificate to the third brother in the afternoon, and send it to the Jiangnan Provincial Public Security Department together with your application materials."
Before the baby was born, Zhang Hui didn't feel how important the one-way permit was, and after the baby was born, she really realized that as a mother, she had the obligation to give the baby a good living and educational environment.
Thinking of the most troublesome thing, my brother helped him solve it, and the rest only had to wait, Zhang Hui was moved, and after thinking about it, she raised her head and said: "Ah Wei, after me and the baby get the one-way permit, we must take them over." ”
It's easy to say, but it's easier said than done, Liu Siwei sighed secretly and smiled casually: "Of course, as long as they are willing, we will definitely find ways to take them over." ”
Zhang Hui asked again: "What else did the third brother say on the phone?" ”
"I said a lot, I want to take good care of your mother and son, so that you don't have to worry about the family, and call him if there is anything. In addition, I made a list of books and asked me to buy them on my behalf.,It's all about electricity jishu as before.。 Even considering that foreign books are more expensive, I planned to send 500 US dollars, but I refused. ”
Selling cigarettes is a good haode, and the speed of making money is about to catch up with Liu Siwei, who can be called a high salary, why do you still read those books on electricity? Do you really plan to replace your mother to work in the power supply bureau and want to make a career in the power system?
No, definitely not!
's mother is an ordinary warehouse keeper, even if he is not a custodian after he replaces, he can only be an ordinary employee who reads meters and collects electricity bills. Not even a cadre, and without a diploma, no matter how high the level is, there is no way to get ahead.
From dropping out to selling cigarettes, from selling cigarettes to selling tobacco, from selling cigarettes to making foreign exchange, the charter is all about planning and then acting, never doing things that are uncertain, and should not give up the "money" of the endless business of selling tobacco and making foreign exchange, and do a job that only costs a few dozen yuan a month.
The more Zhang Hui thought about it, the more confused she became, and muttered to herself, "What does he want to do?" ”
"I don't know, maybe it's just a hobby," Liu Siwei shook his head, and then comforted: "Xiaohui, the third brother is smarter and more sensible than we imagined, you don't need to worry about him at all." ”
And the smart and sensible charter in their minds is doing something that is both boring and boring - taking a group of children who have just arrived from their hometown in East Lake to visit the department store.
It is said to be a building, but in fact, the business part is only two floors, surrounded by doors and a circle of counters, selling clothing, cloth, shoes and hats, rain gear, pots and pans, books, stationery, etc.
There is a majestic aura here, and customers are all walking softly and slowly when they enter. The salespeople are all "I am in charge of my territory" style, never polite to customers, but things are full of pounds and inches.
In the huge store, books only occupy two small counters, with "Xinhua Dictionary", "Idiom Dictionary" and a few literary books that have not changed for a year or two. There are the most on the counter, the fastest updated is the villain book, and the most expensive is just over two cents. I remember that every time I came here when I was a child, I would lie on the counter and watch for a long time, staring at them one by one, guessing what kind of story was told.
The charm of the non-staple food counter is no worse than that of the book counter. Cakes, peach crisps, rice noodles, milk candy, fruit candy, rock sugar, hawthorn slices...... Which is not tempting? Jiang rice noodles are cheap and delicious, I remember buying them once or twice at home.
At that time, the person who wanted to sell him the most was the short and fat old man with a blank face and a little fierce. I walked around with my cousins and cousins, and I found that the person was still there, even after a few years.
Seeing that the little cousin added his lips, he realized that he hadn't bought anything after shopping for a long time, and hurriedly smiled: "Uncle, come here for four catties of Jiang rice noodles." ”
"Great!"
As expected by the charter, the old man quickly weighed the rice sticks, and then took out a few and put them in the palms of his cousins and cousins, as if he knew how much they would worry about when they went back to this dish if they didn't give it now.
The next action was still swift, pouring the rice noodles on the brown straw paper, pulling a thin paper rope above his head, and the short, thick and round fingers deftly began to pack. The two packs are made into a cross, and the two packs are punched into tic-tac-toe, which looks very beautiful.
The movie didn't start for a while, and the charter simply turned around and said, "Xiaojun, there is a villain book over there, you take your younger brothers and sisters to pick one by one." Don't make trouble, and don't lose people. ”
Brother Wu Xiaozhu is living like a fish in water in the city, Wu Xiaojun can't help it anymore, and he doesn't plan to go back this time.
Whether you can stay or not depends on the words of this cousin, who is only two months older than him, and now is the time to perform, and hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, brother, with me watching, it will be fine." ”
After buying the villain book, watching the movie, go home for dinner.
Accompany my grandparents, uncles, aunts, and aunts to talk for a while, and then take them to the warehouse to sleep. For three days in a row, I was exhausted by the charter, more tiring than selling a truckload of cigarettes. Mother Wu Xiulan and second sister Zhang Lin are not idle, so many people eat and drink Lazar, and they all have to be taken care of.
Despite this, no one showed even the slightest hint of boredom.
In the past, when the family was in difficulty, the rice, vegetable oil, and eggs were often entrusted to bring to Zhang's house. If they hadn't reached out one after another, the three siblings didn't know what they would have been like when they were hungry. What's more, people didn't come empty-handed this time, and the rice alone is enough for the whole family to eat for half a year!
