Zhao Hongbing went out of the house, only to see that there were already a lot of neighbors in the yard watching the excitement, and the two large boxes with color TVs and sewing machines were even more densely surrounded by children, so anxious that the big country shouted: "Don't touch that, don't buckle the ...... hard"

Aunt Chunya's eyes were sharp, and when she saw Zhao Hongbing coming out, she shouted in a loud voice: "The big boss is out, Hongbing, quickly move the color TV out for everyone to see, you look at this big country that has no eyes, and you won't even be allowed to touch it." ”

Zhao Hongbing was dressed in a brand-name suit, with a calm bearing, coupled with the psychological effect, the neighbors suddenly felt that he had changed a lot, like a big boss with a lot of money, except for the smug Aunt Chunya, he didn't dare to speak casually.

Zhao Hongbing had a warm smile on his face, and instructed the big country: "Aunt Chunya is right, buy it back for everyone to see, quickly move out and plug in the power supply, so that the villagers can feast their eyes." ”

The big country only listened to Zhao Hongbing, and when he got his instructions, he ordered two and a half children to open the cardboard box where the TV was placed, and then carefully took out the 27-inch Panasonic color TV, moved it to the wing, and got busy.

Aunt Chunya touched Zhao Hongbing's high-end suit, and sighed: "What kind of material is this, it feels like silk cloth, and it is very comfortable." Tsk, this workmanship, you can't see the stitches. ”

Next to him, Uncle Ligen said enviously: "The red soldiers have made a fortune outside, and the stunned boy in the big country is also full of scenery, and he knew that I let my iron egg follow you to break through." ”

Zhao Hongbing said with a smile: "Uncle Ligen, don't worry, there will be a chance in the future, when I find a good project, I will ask Tie Dan to go out and work together." ”

Uncle Ligen said happily: "That dare is good, Hongbing, this kid is benevolent and righteous, I have said so since I was a child." ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "You keep talking about foreign words, don't mention your relationship with my father, even me and Tie Dan have also played since childhood, who do you not help yourself?" ”

Uncle Ligen laughed, not knowing what to say, Aunt Chunya interjected: "Hongbing, do you want female workers for that project, what do you think of your Hongjuan sister?" ”

Hongjuan is Aunt Chunya's daughter, a few years younger than Zhao Hongbing, the same age as the eldest sister Zhao Hongmei, and the two girls are only one day apart.

Zhao Hongbing asked: "Isn't Hongjuan still in school, how good is it to go to college after studying hard?" ”

Aunt Chunya pouted and said: "Just what kind of college does your sister Hongjuan go to, she is confused and her head is biased, and she is still angry, she is not good at studying, and she envy what class this girl in the town attends all day long, and how much money the family gives her to dowry, I think she will be poor sooner or later." Fortunately, now there is a rich big brother of you, this girl has grown up since you were a child, you have to help her if you don't help anyone, if you have a chance, take her out, auntie, beg you. ”

Zhao Hongbing hurriedly said: "Aunt Chunya, what do you say, I feel very ashamed when I hear this, I drank your milk when I was a child, and I have grown so old that I have been eating in your house, and besides, Sister Hongjuan is just the same as my own sister, how can I not help her." Rest easy, as long as you talk to my uncle, I'll take her out next time. ”

Aunt Chunya was so happy that she had tears, listening to what people said, it was comfortable to listen to it, no wonder that other red soldiers could make a fortune outside, this kung fu is considered home.

A few more neighbors came up to talk, and Zhao Hongbing greeted them one by one patiently, giving people the feeling that this was a dignitary, but he was not arrogant, and his face was very kind.

The father also came out to entertain, honestly made a lifetime of how to get such flattery, suddenly at a loss, Zhao Hongbing opened the cigarette to separate the people, at this time, the sound of the TV program came from the side house, accompanied by the laughter of children, Zhao Hongbing greeted the villagers and neighbors: "Everyone go to watch TV, big country, take out the candy for the children to eat." ”

was making a fuss, and heard a wheezing and coughing sound at the door, and the person did not enter the house, holding on to the door frame and panting and bent down. Zhao Hongbing saw that it was the second uncle, and hurriedly rushed over to join in.

The second uncle took a breath in the courtyard for a while, and then gradually got better. The father blamed: "Look at your body, why did you come here!" ”

The second uncle said slowly: "My Hongyu went to the village to make soy sauce, and the commissary said that your Hongbing brother is back, so I'll come over to see if it's true." ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "I just entered the door, and I was about to entertain the neighbors to see you, and the second uncle came to see me, how can I afford it." ”

The second uncle said: "The weather is good these days, people are still cheerful, thinking that there is nothing wrong, how do you know that you have to go out and drink cool air, and you will get sick!" ”

Zhao Hongbing felt sad when he saw that the second uncle was full of sickness, and how could he still have the tough appearance of running all over the wheat field on his back when he was young.

The father instructed the red soldiers: "If your second uncle comes, you won't go back, you go and take the third uncle, sixth uncle, seventh uncle, and eighth uncle!" ”

The second uncle said, "I asked Xiaoyu to bring the letter." You don't have to go, you'll come all at once. ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "It's better to pick it up!" I don't know the rules, and I don't have any respect. ”

After speaking, Zhao Hongbing asked the big country to go home to see his mother first, and then got up and went out, and saw a few uncles and uncles, as well as a few little brothers, sisters, and daughters-in-law from afar, with a few junior nephews and nieces coming over. Seeing Zhao Hongbing, Hongyu and Hongying's younger sisters called their brother to jump and jump, so happy.

Zhao Hongbing hurriedly welcomed his uncle and others into the house, the elders and the older ones sat down, and the younger and junior ones stood aside. For a while, those who called brother, uncle, and uncle all saw the ceremony. Zhao Hongbing took out a lot of candy from his bag and handed it to his mother, grabbing them to his younger siblings, nephews and nieces one by one.

Zhao Hongbing took out a cigarette again, saluted the third uncle, the sixth uncle and others one by one, and when he handed it to the second uncle, he asked hesitantly: "Can you smoke it now?" ”

The second uncle smiled: "It's just this bite, just smoke to death." ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "It's not good for your health! ”

The second uncle said: "My body is only afraid of cold and not afraid of heat, and it is smoother to smoke a cigarette." ”

My mother boiled hot water, made tea, and served it to several uncles. In the middle of the bustle, relatives and villagers from the same village came to greet and greet them, and the house could not stand. The mother distributed the candy to the children, and asked the little sister Honghua after school to take the children outside to play.

In the afternoon, Zhao Hongbing asked the big country to go to the town to buy some meat, fish, pork ribs, and fresh vegetables, and his mother took a few concubines and neighbors and aunts to prepare dinner, and Zhao Hongbing went to the village chief's secretary's house to greet him. Later, the village chief, the branch secretary, and the big mother Lao Tzu were all taken over, and the whole family drank a steaming meal. In the evening, he gave the village chief a cigarette, and the homely gossip did not disperse until late at night.

Seeing off the guests, the family sat under the lamp, the little sister played with the doll brought back by Zhao Hongbing with great interest, and the father said: "It's late, the little sister goes to sleep, and she has to go to school tomorrow." ”

Honghua pouted and said, "No, I'm happy that my brother is back, and I'll sleep later." ”

Zhao Hongbing touched her little head lovingly and said, "Be obedient, brother will play with you tomorrow." ”

The mother took the little sister to the inner room, and the father said, "The day after tomorrow is Sunday, tomorrow I will have someone bring a letter to Hongwei Hongmei, so that my younger brothers and sisters can come back to see you." ”

Zhao Hongbing's younger brother Zhao Hongwei and eldest sister Zhao Hongmei go to high school and junior high school in a town dozens of miles away.

Zhao Hongbing said: "I was about to talk to you about this, this time I came back to the county seat and had dinner with the leaders of the Education Bureau, and the director personally promised me to transfer Hongwei Hongmei to the county No. 1 Middle School. I've been doing it for the past few days. ”

My father was overjoyed and said: "The quality of teaching in No. 1 Middle School is much better than that in the town, and my younger brothers and sisters go to school in No. 1 Middle School, so they have a better chance of being admitted to university in the future." ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "I have better plans, but the conditions don't allow it now, let them transition in No. 1 Middle School first." ”

The father said: "It's a good thing that you can think about your younger brothers and sisters, but you can't mess around, our family is a proper family, and we don't want to do anything wrong." ”

Zhao Hongbing said with a smile: "Where do you want to go, this is a normal transfer, and the policy will be more and more liberalized in the future, as long as you have money, you can study abroad." ”

Father said: "I don't understand this, as long as you can be a good person and have a good future in the future, your mother and I will be at ease." ”

At this time, the mother also came out of the back room and said: "Don't worry about your younger brothers and sisters all the time, Weiwei is not a learning material, no matter how good you give him, he can't do it if he doesn't have that material." ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "I still have to go to college, let him study as hard as he can, and I will find a way if he can't pass the exam when the time comes." ”

After his mother sat down, Zhao Hongbing said again: "I saw the front house in this village, and our house is the oldest, should we renovate it?" ”

The father was silent for a while, and then said, "Why don't I want to!" Over the years, you have been studying, and your mother and I have worked hard to provide for you, and we have not saved any money at all. ”

Zhao Hongbing's heart was sour, the low old tiled house at home was already dilapidated. Over the years, the four brothers and sisters have studied in elementary school, junior high school, high school, and agricultural school, one after another, and the cost of studying has become more and more expensive. In the surrounding neighborhood, many families have built large tiled houses, and there are few old tiled houses like their own.

Zhao Hongbing went to his bag and took out a bag of money wrapped in newspapers. I opened the newspaper and said, "This is 30,000 yuan, the house has been built, and the extra money is kept for urgent use." Tomorrow I'll go talk to Tie Dan, your second old man is old, and I'll let him help supervise the construction of the house when the time comes. ”

The father took the money tremblingly, and the mother said with tears in her eyes: "My son, it is difficult for you! ”

The father had mixed feelings and said, "Rejoice! Glad! I can't even dream of it......"

Zhao Hongbing looked at his parents, his eyes were hot, and he said: "Father, mother, I must let the second elder enjoy all the blessings, and the good days are still ahead!" As long as you are in good health, it is our blessing. ”

The two old men listened to their son, and felt that there was nothing happier than this, and they were very satisfied. It was very late, so I went to bed and rested.
