Chapter 50: Dad's Choice

Monan looked at the newlyweds who were worshipping heaven and earth, and remembered the situation when he saw the bride for the first time. Let Liang Zi hide at home for a long time, and when Liang Zi and the fat man buy goods, the business in the store will be handed over to her (Qiu Hongye) to take care of, which is no worse than Liang Zi and them.

Fang Monan asked, and graduated from a serious famous university. She was curious now, at that time, the college bag distribution would be reduced to this step, and at a glance, the mistress's face, the devil's body.

Fang Monan seems to be a bit for? She (autumn red leaves) is a very poetic name, it is a bewitching and delicate woman whose skin is like a hibiscus tender stamen out of the water, smooth and clear. A pair of peach blossom eyes are like two rippling autumn water, and the eye waves are flowing, just like the infinite vast smoke waves in the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, which makes people want to be intoxicated. The straight and beautiful jade nose outlines the most bewitching arc in the world, and a pair of pink lips, like ripe cherries, are tempting to pick. Even if she wears a cotton jacket in the dirt, she can't hide her undulating devilish figure, which is perfect and impeccable. It's really charming and natural, a peerless stunner

When Fang Monan was with her, she had fox-like bewitching eyebrows, and between the turns of her eyes, she had a natural style.

Fang Monan stared at her carefully, he actually blushed, and his eyes flashed with shyness and fear, but in the end, he was left to pretend to be calm. It can be seen that she is trying her best to please Fang Monan, because she Liang Zi mentioned that this little girl is not simple, and she hopes to be recognized by her.

"Appearance is innate, there is no need to be so inferior, although it doesn't have to be bold to come out, but there is no need to worry about it," Fang Mo said nannanly. "I don't want you to marry Brother Liang Zi, but I hope you don't hurt him."

"Liang Zi is a good person, I won't hurt him." Autumn Momiji said very sentimentally. "He was the first to think I was serious."

Qiu Hongye was kicked out by the family, and there was no way out, so she 'tricked' to stay at his house, and it happened that Aunt Liang misunderstood again, and she lived as a matter of course. has an academic diploma, and she is embarrassed to end up like this, but she didn't expect to like him, maybe he doesn't despise her because of her appearance

"I hope you do what you say, and you don't have to walk with your head down, you can cover it with a frame of your glasses." Fang Monan suggested, no wonder she saw her with her head down and in a hurry, and she didn't stop shouting.

"Liang Zi tells you about his experience, don't skip words. Fang Menan said tentatively.

"Liang Zi said that he was a gangster, a bad man, and he was once in prison." Autumn Momiji asked in wonder, I don't look like this kind of person, what the hell has he committed?"

"Let him tell you this," Fang Monan said mysteriously.

Later, Liang Zi bought a pair of black-framed flat mirrors from Yangcheng to cover most of her face, Fang Monan got along with her, and ridiculed him that Liang Zi was lucky with shit, no one. ”

Fang Monan looked at the groom and bride, remembered the bits and pieces he knew with them, smiled and blessed them.

The wedding was very lively, and the bride was still wearing glasses, and it seemed that the troubles caused by her appearance might get better as they flowed.

In the cave room, because of Liang Zijiwei, only the fat man and the thin monkey did not dare to make too much trouble, and they all left after a little excitement.

At this time, Liang Zi stood on the edge of the bed at a loss, and the bride sat on the bed and looked at him with bright eyes.

"By the way, it's a gift for you." Liang Zi took out the gift from Cheng Shigui and them from the camphor wood box and put it on for her.

"It's so pretty." Liang Zi took her hand and rubbed it constantly, and the rose-gold watch set off her white skin.

"It's too precious, who sent it." Autumn Momiji asked curiously.

"The boss sent it." Liang Zi said, if it weren't for Nannan's big face, who would know who he was

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Qiu Yehong didn't ask more, she untied the braided braids on her head, her black satin-like hair was spread out, and her black-framed glasses were taken off.

The more beautiful the beauty is seen under the lamp, the more beautiful it is, the candle night in the cave room, and the night is worth a thousand gold.

The unprecedented Liang Zi didn't get up early, and the sky was bright. Liang Zi opened his eyes for a while, and looked at the autumn red leaves around him. I'm married, too. 'The beauty in my heart.

Autumn Red Leaves also woke up and saw him staring, I don't know what to think? Move quietly.

"Does it still hurt?" Liang Zi thought about it and asked distressedly. Yesterday, Meng Lang forgot that she was in the first experience, and she should feel sorry for the talent. It's strange that he can bear it.

Akiba blushed and burrowed into his chest and shook his head.

"Don't you get up? Don't you have to give our mother tea, don't skip words. Autumn leaves whispered. "Don't you have to open a store, don't skip words.

"No, Nannan will give us a wedding leave, let us rest for two more days." Liang Zi rubbed her smooth back, absent-mindedly. "Hey...... Our mother understands that she should be at Aunt Mo now, and she can get up later. ”

"Oh, that's fine." Autumn red leaves turned over and wanted to get up, the eyes of the swaying Liang Zi on his chest deepened, and the ** in the house became thicker, as if he should be worthy of this holiday.

In a blink of an eye, it was the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and grandma's year-end summary was a big step forward from the previous year. This...... This...... I have also become a 10,000-yuan household, and at that time, the 10,000-yuan household will be comparable to the millionaires of later generations. At that time, the price was very low, (the price of rice was 0.14 yuan, the price of flour was 0.7 yuan, the price of meat was 0.95 yuan, the gift of relatives was about 2 yuan, the New Year's money was 0.1-0.2 yuan, and the wages of workers were about 28 yuan). Grandma is very happy, looking forward to the future, full of confidence.

On the evening of the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, Fang Monan came to Liang Zi's house, the house was warm, the big red word of happiness was still posted on the wall, and the household appliances were all used, and it was finally another home.

Fang Monan sat on the electroplating folding chair, the family had changed a lot, the table was a square table, and it was also electroplated.

The fat man joked that Liang Zidao's eldest brother and sister-in-law must have been a warm night in the Hibiscus tent these days. * The night is bitter and the day is short, and the king does not rise early. ”

Autumn red leaves hid, Liang Zihe smirked, and also joked that it seems that the fat man is good at learning"

"Huh...... You didn't force it. The fat man said with a bitter face.

"Haha......" Liang Zi and the thin monkey laughed unceremoniously.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Fang Monan knocked on the table and said.

"Oh, this year's income in the store is better than last year, we have joined the clothing trade again, and the business is even hotter." Liang Zi said that the things in the store came as soon as he opened his mouth, and the data was stringed one by one, and they were all recorded in his mind. "Especially in the past two years, the county's policies have been good, and the farmers' pockets have swelled, which is reflected in eating, drinking, and clothing, and we have benefited a lot." They bought clothes directly from Han Zhiqian's garment factory, and they were envious of others.

"Yes, it's approaching the end of the year, and our store is crowded. Turnover, that's a rubbing up," the fat man said happily with a gesture of his hand.

Fang Menan took their accounts and counted silently. Autumn leaves come out of the inner room at this time and serve tea. The tea was given to Liang by Fang Monan, and he also fell in love with drinking tea.

The fat man saw that the autumn red leaves were coming, "It's better if my sister-in-law is in the store, you said that I am a big man selling clothes, and I am awkward to death." ”

"You are content, don't you have Jinxiu and Xiaomei to help, otherwise you will be really busy." Skinny Monkey said.

"Alright, let's go." Liang Zi said.

Fang Monan finished distributing the dividends, and the fat man said happily that it had been a year, and he was the most energetic today. He counted the money happily, although he earned a lot of money, in two years, he got more than 100,000 yuan, but he liked this wonderful taste of counting money.

"Look at your unproductive appearance." Liang Zi patted him on the shoulder and said, "It seems that no matter how much money you have in the future, you will have to give you cash." He shook his passbook.

"Cash is good, cash has a feel. The passbook is just a series of numbers, and there is no shock from reality. The fat man looked at his passbook and sighed.

"These are the shoes that Xiaomei made for you." He quickly took out four pairs of shoes from his bag, two pairs of cloth shoes and two pairs of cotton shoes. "Two of them are Xiaobei's."

"Thank you, Sister Xiaomei, for me." Fang Menan held them in his arms.

"Thank you, and it doesn't take much effort." The fat man said as a matter of course, "Let's talk about my mother's ......"

"Okay, I won't say thank you in the future." Fang Menan hurriedly interrupted his next words of thanks.

The thin monkey told Fang Monan about the matter of Huhai, and he happened to attend Liangzi's wedding just now, and he was busy with the store afterwards. Taking advantage of today, he handed over the contracts and procedures of the two houses to her, and he bought the goods produced in Huhai according to what Fang Menan said, which was really enough, two large cardboard boxes. Bedding, enamel basins, kettles, etc., not to mention the price, the quality at that time was bargaining.

Speaking of ceiling fans, he is even more excited, sales are not, supply exceeds demand, there is no way to produce insufficient capacity, there are people who come to ask for goods every day, watching those people leave helplessly, he is distressed that he is not a person, it is a waste of money

"It's fine after the New Year, Uncle Qi has added two more production lines, and he doesn't plan to rest during the New Year, triple his salary, and work three shifts a day." Fang Menan said.

"Well, that's great." The thin monkey rubbed his hands together and said excitedly.

"Okay, that's it, I'll go, you can have fun if you want, don't make trouble." Fang Monan said, and took out a bottle of Moutai and put it on the table.

"We." The fat man's eyes lit up when he saw Maotai.

"I'm looking at them," Liang Zi said, "I'll send you." Red leaves prepare meals, and our three brothers haven't seen each other for a few months, so we have a good get-together.

"Okay" Fang Monan didn't grind, and she couldn't move the thin monkey that she brought it, so it just troubled Liangzi.

Autumn Red Leaves prepared the wine and dishes, and the three of them ate side dishes, drank small wine, and held cigarettes in their mouths, such a day was unimaginable.

"Two years ago, I had to think about it, I could live such a life, I never dreamed of it." The fat man sighed.

"Yes, if you don't get ashore in time, your life will be gone." When the thin monkey thought about it, his heart trembled. "The guy who cut Brother Liang Zi last time, didn't we see him being destroyed with our own eyes."

"Okay, don't put aside the bitter memories and think about the sweets, just follow Nannan well." Liang Zi waved his hand, "Drink wine and eat vegetables." He asked about the thin monkey in Shanghai.

They kept drinking and chattering, and they made a fuss for more than two hours, and the thin monkey didn't worry that the fat man would bring so much cash and send him home before returning.

The busy adults are busy preparing for the New Year, and the children are looking forward to the arrival of the New Year, with new clothes to wear, enough delicious food, and New Year's money. For the other side Mo Nan, Mo Bei still practices the piano step by step, and Mo Nan is to educate Mo Bei on other knowledge, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to tell inspirational stories, entertaining and teaching. Adults didn't, these became Fang Mennan's work. Of course, the audience also included Renard, who was also planning for the new year.

Approaching the New Year, Dachengzi sent a New Year's gift, more than 50 catties of pork, ten old hens, and coarse cloth woven by his aunt and grandmother. Leaving Da Chengzi behind, he left in a hurry, he was busy at home, and he came in a hurry.

Grandma looked at so much pork, so she didn't worry, the family was full of meat tigers, and they were all masters who could eat meat. It's better to leave it to Fang Menan to deal with, who made her the chef of the family.

Grandma and Fang Monan are the same as last year, fried meatballs, stewed pork bones, and made pork skin jelly. In addition to the hairy pig skin, bones, put in the appropriate seasoning, star anise, pepper, cinnamon, angelica, bay leaf salt, for a long boil, so that the boiled soup contains a certain amount of skin glue content, and then cooled, after cooling, the pig skin and soup will solidify together, because it is eaten after cooling, cooling can be said to be frozen, so it is called pork skin jelly. It was done successfully, the color was fresh and bright, the taste was elastic, and the taste was refreshing.

Looking at the pork skin jelly Fang Monan, he remembered to pour the soup dumplings, the meat filling was mixed with diced mushrooms, diced chicken, and cold pork skin jelly, wrapped in the dough and steamed, the meat jelly turned into soup, fresh and fragrant meat, soft skin, exquisite and clear appearance, mellow soup, and the entrance was oily but not greasy. Its skin is thin and the filling is large, the soup is filled with oil, soft and fresh and fragrant, white and smooth, lifted like a lantern, put down like a chrysanthemum.

The soup dumplings have the beauty of form, its content is exquisite and unique, the meat filling and fresh soup live in the same room, eat it, and then the northern country eats noodles, eats meat, and eats soup in three, which is a kind of integrated charm. Eating soup dumplings, the presence of soup ranks first, followed by meat filling, and dough second.

Renard looked at the freshly baked soup dumplings in front of him with appreciation, and took a bite of it, "Hot...... He's dead. Sticking out his tongue and fanning his hand desperately, Grandma hurriedly handed him a cup of cold white boil, and he drank a few sips before he felt better.

Grandma was embarrassed and forgot to tell you, if you don't burn, you have to eat like this soup packet. She taught him carefully, sucking the soup first, and then eating.

"Oh," Renard understood, and he didn't care about a hot mouth, and he ate very well, like a hungry cat.

Grandma was eating soup dumplings, "Hey, we can also steam and sell this next year." She clapped her hands, "This is capable."

Grandma De is now a bit of a 'mad' posture, as long as she can make money pasta, she wants to sell it and try it. However, this is going to be planned after a year.

Because Fang Monan is accustomed to communicating with Mobei with adult thoughts and ideas, Mobei is gradually, more and more like her direction, and if this continues, in a few years, there will be no joy in childhood.

In this way, when Fang Monan began to wonder if it was good to promote the seedlings like this, he neglected Mobei and forgot to tell the story, and the result was that Fang Monan was fiercely criticized by everyone.

"Xiaobei, you like to hear me tell stories." Fang Menan sat on the small bench and tilted his head and asked.

"That's right," Mo Bei nodded.

"You didn't even look for them to play with the neighbors, don't you skip words. Fang Menan said.

"You didn't go."

Fang Monan was choked by her words for a long time and did not come to his senses.

"They are too naΓ―ve to understand, so they play with mud and dig out birds' eggs...... Fang Mobei wrinkled his little nose and said with a crisp childlike voice.

"The stories I tell aren't boring."

"No, that's good. I love the wit of Ikyu and Avanti; I also like to read beautiful landscape paintings in scientific geography magazines; I prefer to play the violin with touching melodies. Don't waste your life on those boring things. Hearing Mo Bei's words, Fang Mo Nan was dumbfounded.

"Who taught you this."

"Does this still need to be taught? Didn't you say that in the story you told me, don't skip words? Mo Bei blinked and looked at her suspiciously.

Fang Monan began to reflect on whether this was right or wrong, and if he continued to mix with her, he would become like her, with the appearance of a child and the heart of an adult. She completely influenced her life. watched Mobei holding the children's version of "100,000 For", and felt related.

It's better to have an early social outlook than to learn a distorted outlook on life in romance novels when you're curious. Fang Monan comforted him like this, and said that she was watching

It's the twenty-ninth of the lunar month again, after dinner, everyone started to be lively again, and my father also kept pace with the times and sang the theme song of the 83 version of "Journey to the West", "Dare to ask where the road is", Sun Monkey was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, and the episode "Five Hundred Years of Vicissitudes of the Sea", when my father sang this song, he had special feelings, tears in his eyes, and remembered that he had a falling out with his family, and he was full of emotion for a while.

My mother and aunt sang the episode of the TV series, and Liang Zi and Qiu Hongye sang the theme song of the 83 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Xiaobei, of course, is still her violin masterpiece. Fang Monan remembered last year's teachings, and this year he pulled the erhu "Golden Snake Dance" and Nie Er arranged and adapted it. The melody of the music is high-spirited and enthusiastic, rendering the jubilant atmosphere of the festival.

After hearing this, Renard couldn't stop nodding, "Well, it's good, joyful, high-spirited, unrestrained emotions, full of vitality and full of vitality." ”

However, Aunt Mo and Mo Bei didn't plan to let Fang Monan go like this, they had to sing a song they hadn't heard, and finally she sang a song "It Will Be Better", which means that the life of the family is thriving and will be better. That's what made the two of them give up

After the excitement, Fang Monan began to distribute New Year's gifts, using beds as a unit, distributing bedding (sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases), as well as enamel washbasins and tin thermoses. Fortunately, she let the thin monkey sell a lot of goods from Shanghai, otherwise it would not be enough. As for the fat man, Liang Zi took him away and handed it to him.

On the thirtieth day, my father made up his mind not to 'go home' again. He took his mother to the countryside to go to his mother's grave, tidy up the grave, pull out the yellow weeds, and babble about what happened, and only left after two hours. Looking at the low adobe houses in the village, the dirt roads of the sheep intestines, and some of the houses are lit with kerosene lamps at night.

Think about the road in Xinxintong Village, the county where my mother-in-law lives, and the new red brick house built by Da Chengzi's family. The place where he lived in his childhood was still so backward and poor, and it was so much worse than a county.

Dad they finally arrived on the evening of thirty, and the Chinese New Year's Eve of '84 was February 1st. This thirtieth is no longer deserted, it is very lively, and the family gathers. After the reunion dinner, Qi Qiushi left in a hurry, and he had to accompany the factory workers to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve. The people who stayed behind looked at the Spring Festival Gala with a smile, whether it was the host or the costumes of the cast and crew, they were no longer inferior to Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, and even slightly better.

Grandma not only can't rest during the New Year, but also has to receive relatives who are like flowing water. After the hustle and bustle, leave the tranquility. After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the thin monkey and the splendid went to Shanghai, Liang Zi and the fat man opened a big business, set off 20,000 firecrackers, and grandma's steamed bun shop continued to operate.

Dad watched the family get busy again, "Mom, Dayan, let's go to Uncle Lin's house, I have something I want to discuss with you." Dad came in and said.

The three of them entered Uncle Lin's house, at this time Fang Monan was reading a book, Mo Bei was also reading the score, and Renard followed Old Man Lin to discuss the Tao Te Ching.

Dad, they came in, and Old Man Lin saw this, "...... you guys?"

"Uncle Lin, I have some ideas in my heart that I want to discuss with you." Dad moved a chair for Grandma, moved two more stools, handed one to Mom, and sat down.

"Oh, there's something to discuss, and I just so have something to tell you." Old Man Lin said that he was blocked here by this thunder, and I thought I'd tell you later. "Tell me first."

"It's like this, the company talked to me a year ago, and I will be promoted after a year." Dad didn't usually hear the joy of the promotion, but just said calmly.

"It's a good thing, it's really calm." Mom glanced at him and said angrily.

"I've decided not to do it now." Dad's eyes were bright, and he said in a deep voice, throwing out a bomb.

"You...... You...... Don't consult with me. Mom said anxiously.

Old Man Lin still wanted to say when he saw his mother, what do you think? ”

"I want to go into politics," Dad said loudly, and then softened again, "I just don't know if I can get in?" ”

"Huh...... Looks like you're asking the right question. Old man Lin smiled, "A few days ago, in view of your performance in road construction, Secretary Wang asked me to probe your tone, whether you are interested in working in the county, he heard that you were promoted in the company, I don't know what you think in your heart, now everyone wants to make money, I'm afraid that you don't look down on our small county, let me ask first." ”

Fang Monan was surprised that his father actually wanted to enter politics, that was the most annoying thing before, when it came to officials, it was eight o'clock to hold a meeting, nine o'clock, ten o'clock did not mishear the report, a glass of water, a piece of paper, and the shift in a blink of an eye. He doesn't make as much money as he makes, it seems that her little wings are not light, but she shouldn't be in politics, just go to the sea

"Dad, why do you want to go into politics?" Fang Monan's eyes widened and he interjected and asked.

"This, I don't have that much public heart, but I read Uncle Lin's books, especially history books. I feel like my mother's small shop, don't look at the business of the voice, official business, official business, if I take the official road, at least people will be less bullied. It's like installing a small thing like tap water, and a sentence from someone else is better than my mother running five or six times. "Dad said very straightforward and simple, he saw with his own eyes that after the installation of tap water at home, rich people also wanted to install it, but they were blocked after a trip, there was no special approval from the leader, don't think about it. It was a blessing for the old man Torin to be able to install it at home, and he had people in the county, which touched him a lot.

Dad was a little hesitant but still said frankly that this was just my selfishness, and he wanted to establish some contacts in the officialdom, and it was easier to do things. "He's not that high yet.

"You're straightforward, honest." Old Man Lin said, what about selfishness, I can't say it. People's hearts are unpredictable, and with the passage of time, public hearts can become selfish. Who will become like in the future? "It's really a coincidence, Secretary Wang saw your performance when building the road, and intended to transfer you to work in the county party committee, but the position will not be too high when you first enter."

"Okay, let's go first, do you want to work? You can do anything. "Dad has no opinion, everyone has to go in and talk about it.

"Okay, that's it." Old man Lin asked Zhengping again, you didn't go home for the New Year, and then decided to resign, don't you discuss it with your family, don't you skip words.

"Discuss, it's not negotiable." Dad deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"What do you mean by that?" Old Man Lin sighed and said. "You decided to break with your family, give all the money to others, don't you have to write a paperwork without skipping words.

"Clerical? She wished that I, a poor ghost, wouldn't come to the door, wouldn't I just weigh her heart if I didn't go, and I didn't have to see this thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, what else did I need to write? Dad said self-righteously.

Old Man Lin shook his head, he was really a stupid boy, "If you don't go, it doesn't mean that people won't come to you to ask for money." ”

"Ah, and so on, haven't all the money been given," the old mother shouted, clapping her hands. "By the way, it is an obligation for children to support the elderly, and they can really come back to the extent that they are shameless."

Old Man Lin said earnestly, You are only thinking about the present, you are not thinking about the development in the future, and no one will develop in the future? Prevention is better than prevention. ”

Dad pondered, "If it is really written in black and white, it will really tear his face completely." He thought it was unclear, and he probably still had a trace of it, and he didn't have a good imagination.

β€œοΌŸ You...... You....... The old mother stared at him, and Old Man Lin interrupted the old **, "This Zhengping, you have to think about it." "I'll go to the county first and call people back."

Grandma comforted her mother, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant and depressed for a while. I didn't want to be in the wound that was torn open, and I was lying in front of me with blood.
