After the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and the Japanese occupation period, life in Guwei Village after liberation has undergone earth-shaking changes, but one thing remains the same - there is some turmoil in the village, and the speed of transmission is faster than the speed of the national army's rout.

Early in the morning, before Liu Shanxiu got up, the news that she had seen Chairman * and Premier Zhou had already spread.

"I've long seen that this girl has a chance, and now it's come true!"

"yes, this girl is really capable. When people are gone, they are going to do big things! ”

"The Liu family gave birth to a good girl!" ......

Some of the people who slandered Liu Shanxiu at the beginning changed their tone of speech, as if they had never said those words. I am afraid that in a few thousand years, people will not be able to completely change this "tradition".

In any case, Liu Shanxiu wanted to meet Shizhu when she came back this time, and after hearing that Shizhu's daughter-in-law was beautiful, it aroused her curiosity even more. This is not the so-called envy and jealousy, nor is it a matter of comparing others between women, and then let Shizhu see that she is doing well now, and it was his loss that he did not marry her in the first place. It's just one of human natures. However, Liu Shanxiu also knew that going directly to Shizhu would make people fall into her mouth, so she said that she was going to see the old lady of the Shi family.

After changing into her usual clothes, she took Xiao Jianguo to Shi's house. As soon as she entered the courtyard and saw Shi Yushi sitting there, she greeted her from afar: "Grandma Shi, I'm here to see you!" ”

Shi Yushi squinted and looked, and immediately knew who was coming, and said with a smile: "Isn't this Shanxiu!" Quick, come in and sit down! ”

Seeing that the stone pillar was also in the house, Liu Shanxiu smiled and said, "Brother Zhuzi, you are also at home, that's great!" When she saw the woman next to the stone pillar, an indescribable feeling arose, and she finally saw the beauty of others, but she still said very calmly: "This is my sister-in-law, right?" It's so beautiful, like Li Xianglan! ”

Ji heard the words of the Zhuang Shangren early in the morning, and knew that it was the daughter of the Liu family, so he said: "Sister Liu, you are laughing, I am just a country woman, how can I compare with you, you are really beautiful!" ”

I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and Liu Shanxiu has endless words with Shi Zhu and Shi Yu, but Ji just sat next to him and listened, without saying a word, after all, the guest who came seemed to have nothing to do with her.

After chatting, Shi Yushi asked to see the photo of Premier Zhou. Liu Shanxiu was not stingy, took it out of Xiao Jianguo's schoolbag and handed it to Shi Yu. There was also a photo album that she took out together, and she looked at it with Shi Zhu and Ji Shi first, you know, this photo album has not been shown to anyone except her parents.

"Brother Zhuzi, you see, this is my husband, he is an artilleryman." Liu Shanxiu introduced the photo, "This one was taken in Yan'an. After the devil surrendered, he was transferred from the Yan'an Artillery School to the Mudanjiang with the troops, and was incorporated into the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, and the commander-in-chief was Mr. Lin. This one was taken in the Northeast. I later went to the Northeast as well. He also participated in the Liaoshen Campaign and the Pingjin Campaign. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he went to North Korea with the Volunteers, and was the commander of the artillery regiment at that time. Brother Zhuzi, guess who was their artillery commander at that time? Name and keep what you've heard! ”

"Who is it?" The stone pillar was a little curious.

"It's Commander Wan Yi! The famous head of Wan Yi, who defended our Haizhou and fought with the devils in the port! ”

"Ah, it's really him! That's great! Shi Zhu was a little excited, "I heard that he was locked up in a prison in Shandong, I thought he was sacrificed, but I didn't expect to be alive, it's really good!" Great hero! ”

Liu Shan Xiu also said happily: "Yes! Commander Wan is a legend, and he is still a Manchu! According to my husband, just before he was about to be executed by the Kuomintang, he was able to escape from the heavily guarded prison in the Lusu War Zone alone, and then after going through hardships, he found the party organization again! ”

At this time, Shi Zhu flipped to the next photo, which was a photo of Liu Shanxiu and a woman, and Shi Zhu was very familiar with that face. He pointed to the person in the photo, his fingers trembled a little, and asked excitedly: "Shanxiu, this woman's ......"

"What's the matter, Brother Zhuzi? This person was my good sister when I was in the Northeast! ”

"Is her surname Qin? Called Qin Shiyue? ”

"Yes! Brother Zhuzi, how do you know her? ”

"Let's talk about that. Tell me first, do you know what happened to her brother? Shi Zhu was a little impatient to know.

"I heard Sister Yue say that in four or seven years, his brother sacrificed!"

"Alas!" Shi Zhu sighed, and after a long time, he gave a general account of the situation when he went to the northeast to meet them before. "Unexpectedly, Brother Qin has already sacrificed! Then do you know Cao Shangfei and Elechuan? Shi Zhu asked Liu Shanxiu again.

"Eilechuan, I know, he is the husband of Sister Yue, the company commander of the Mongolian cavalry division, who was seriously injured in the battle of Jinzhou, but it is fine. Cao Shangfei doesn't know, I just remember hearing Sister Yue say that there is an old friend surnamed Cao, who sacrificed himself with her brother when he was playing Siping, I don't know if it's him! ”

Hearing this, Shi Zhu estimated that most of the people surnamed Cao were Cao Shangfei. Thinking of the previous things, Shi Zhu was full of emotion, although he had been with these three people for a short time, they were all together and the devil had fought hard, and it could be regarded as a fateful friendship, which could not be measured by the length of time they had been together. It's just that there is only one of the three people left, which is really regrettable.

Shi Yu's side has been looking at the group photo of Liu Shanxiu and Premier Zhou, and when a few young people stopped talking, she said to Liu Shanxiu: "Premier Zhou is really easy-going, I can't see the official frame, it is very different from the officials I saw in the palace before!" ”

"Yes, Shi Dama, we Communists are different, the bigger the leader, the less there is a shelf!"

After returning the photo to Liu Shanxiu, Shi Yushi inadvertently opened the photo album again, and the first one was Liu Shanxiu's husband. She stared at the picture and looked and looked and looked and looked as if she was thinking about something. Suddenly, her eyes instantly lit up, and her heart became excited, pointing to the person in the photo and asking, "Shanxiu, what's your man's surname?" Where is your hometown? ”

"My husband's surname is 'Yu', his name is Yuping, a native of Jilin."

"The surname is 'yù', which 'yù'?"

"It's the 'jade' of 'Baoyu', my husband is from Yanbian Korean!"

Hearing that it was the "jade" of "Baoyu", Shi Yu's face was immediately filled with a disappointed expression, if the surname was the word "Yu" of his mother's family, how good would it be! Because the person in the photo looked like a person between his face and eyebrows, but she thought she was thinking too much, so she didn't continue to ask. In fact, if she asked more questions at this time, she would not have let happiness come more than 20 years late, but how could she have expected it at that time!

After chatting for a while, Liu Shanxiu felt that he had stayed at Shizhu's house long enough, so he got up and said goodbye. And Ji didn't say a word from beginning to end, except for the greetings with Liu Shanxiu at the beginning.

After Liu Shanxiu left with Xiao Jianguo, Shi Yu actually lay down on the rocking chair again. This is the second time she has been lying on it, and the last time was after sending Lu Chunhua's family away three years ago. This time, I saw her eyes closed, and it was difficult for Shi Zhu and Ji Shi to see the expression on her face, but they knew very well what she was thinking, but they couldn't do anything about it, so they could only let her lie there and "rest".

It wasn't until the children came over and shook the rocking chairs to play that Shi Yushi opened his eyes. Imagination is only illusory, and she has to face reality.

Another 10 years later, as a result of the "Rectification Movement," the "Leap Forward" Movement, the "Exaggerated Style," the People's Communization Movement, and the struggle against rightist tendencies, China's national economy experienced serious difficulties and suffered heavy losses. Subsequently, the Central Work Conference initially summed up the lessons and lessons of the "Leap Forward" and carried out criticism and self-criticism, which again enabled the national economy to recover and develop relatively smoothly.

At this time, it has been a few years since the end of the "* Leap Forward", but in many rural areas, everyone still eats a big pot of rice, and Guwei is no exception, and now Guwei Village is called Guwei Production Team. Although everyone is not enthusiastic, they are all looking forward to running into a communist society.

"Communism is good, everyone will not worry about food and clothing!"

"In a communist society, everyone can eat white flour kang cakes, rice and rice, and meat during the New Year!"

These are the words often said by the outgoing Captain Xia, in order to encourage the enthusiasm of the members, and everyone is full of yearning for the future. However, this kind of "big pot rice" seriously affected their enthusiasm, and after many discussions, the production team agreed that each family could still keep a little land for themselves in the front and back of the house.

At the beginning of the second year, Xinyihe started the expansion project, and at this time, Shi Ye had finished junior high school, and there were two laborers at home, Shi Shuo and Shi Ye, to help earn work, and the burden on Shi Zhu's body was really much easier.

Now Shi Zhu is the father of four children, and the youngest son is just seven years old this year, named Shi Xuan. This time is the name of Ji's family, the year the youngest son was born coincided with the 10th anniversary of the National Day, she said, the Communist Party is like the sun, between heaven and earth, breaking through the darkness, illuminating all things, in order to show gratitude to the party, take the word "day" up and down a horizontal to represent heaven and earth, then there is the word "Xuan".

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, Shizhu had to go to the Yihe River with a group of people from the village to serve in labor and expand the Yihe River.

Before leaving, Shi Yushi took his hand, touched his face again, and said reluctantly: "Zhuzi, you have to be careful when you go, the bullets of the national army don't have long eyes when the Yi River flows!" ”

"My grandmother, I went to Yiheliu to participate in socialist construction, not to fight, there are no bullets there, it's safe!"

"Oh! I'm not going to war! I thought you were going to be a soldier again! I'm so old, I'm useless, I can't tell the difference! ”

Shi Yushi is indeed old, he is eighty-five years old, except for the occasional bad memory, fortunately, he can eat and move, and he can still take care of himself. However, the old people older than her in the production team have all died, and there are not many people who can chat with her, so it is inevitable that she will be a little lonely.

At this age, sometimes Shi Yu's own hope that Lord Hades can accept her as soon as possible, but when she waits and waits, she will not die, and she doesn't want to die, on the contrary, she is a little afraid of death - Shi Shuo is twenty years old this year, it is time to get married, and if she marries, she should have children. In this way, if I can live for another two or three years, maybe I will be able to hold my grandson.

Because of this, Shi Yu is now begging Lord Yama to give her a few more years to live.

After the stone pillar arrived at the Yihe River, it was found that great changes had taken place here, and the river embankment was much higher than when it was first excavated. The construction site is full of red flags, waving in the wind, and you can't see the end at a glance. The red banner is full of slogans such as "Yihe River has a new look for a hundred days", "Building socialism with a hundred times enthusiasm", "The most glorious working people", "Learning the spirit of learning and striving to be a model of the times", and there are huge portraits hanging at a distance.

The laborers are all working in full swing, and everyone's hearts are happy.

Adjacent to the Guwei production team is the Wei Dang production team of Yilu Commune, they all came together, there was a young man in it who attracted the attention of Shizhu, in his twenties, medium to tall, with short hair, and a straight look, not like a crooked melon and cracked dates, more polite to people, never lazy in work, at a glance you know that you are a person who can live.

Shi Zhu naturally didn't know where the young man's house was, but after a while, everyone got a little familiar, and he chatted with the young man while smoking a cigarette pouch during the break, "Big young man, how old are you?" What's your name? Where is home? ”

The guy said: "Uncle, my family is Yilu Weidang, my name is Wei Huo, and I am twenty-five years old this year!" ”

Shi Zhu thought for a moment: "Wei Dang? Is it the Wei Dang near the south of the Aftermath River? ”

"That's it! Uncle, have you been to Weidang? ”

"I haven't been there, but they're all from Guanyun, and they're close, and I've heard of you." Shi Zhu took two puffs of cigarette in a row, and finally asked, "Young man, has your daughter-in-law been married?" ”

The guy said a little shyly: "Daughter-in-law? I don't even have a partner! People don't think they're poor! ”

Shi Zhu and Wei Huo's original intention was to see that this guy was good, and wondered if they could find a partner for the big girl, but when he said that there was no object yet, Shi Zhu became more interested in Wei Huo, "What a poor person, who is still a rich family!" The two of them are so hard, won't life get better slowly! ”

After smoking, the pouch was collected, and Shizhu continued to work. He was thinking about Wei Huo while pushing mud on the river embankment, and then he couldn't help but pronounce "Wei Huo" several times in his mouth, always feeling that this name was so strange, and then chewed the word "Huo" in his mouth several times, and then thought of Wei Dang's location, he seemed to remember something.

When he got off work in the evening, Shi Zhu found Wei Huo again and said, "Big young man, your name is 'Wei Huo', this name sounds a little strange!" ”

"My mother's surname is Huo, I can't read or write, and I can't name it, so I'll be called 'Wei Huo'!"

"Then let me ask you, do you have any other women with their maiden names Huo?"

Wei Huo thought for a while, "I don't know this very well, but I know that Dongtou Huangzhuang has a family surnamed Huo, but it has only been a few years since I got married. is like her mother's age, it seems that she is surnamed Huo! ”

Shi Zhu asked again: "Is your uncle lean and lean, with a beard on his mouth and a donkey cart?" ”

This time, Wei Huo said without thinking: "Well, it's been almost twenty years since my uncle died, and I was only seven or eight years old at that time, I really can't remember what I looked like." But I remember that his family did have a donkey cart, and the copper bell on the cart is still at home! ”

Hearing this, Shi Zhu was basically sure of his conjecture, but he didn't mention anything else to Wei Huo, just said: "Big young man, I'll just say it, in fact, I have a big girl, who is exactly twenty this year, although she doesn't have a flower and moon appearance, she looks quite standard." I see that you are very responsible, and you are not lazy, I want you two to meet, in case you see it! ”

When Wei Huo heard that he was going to introduce himself to someone, he was very grateful to Shizhu, thanking him and lighting a cigarette pouch for him.

In a flash, dozens of days of hard labor were over. When he returned to the production team, Shi Zhu specially brought Wei Huo over, stayed at home for lunch, and explained his meaning to Shi Yu and Ji, and both of them looked at this young man and did not object.

They called the big girl Shi Shuo aside: "Girl, what do you think of this guy?" Pleasing to the eye? ”

Shi Shuo also guessed that this was to introduce himself to someone, so he lowered his head and said while brushing his braids: "It's okay!" Mom, don't be an old lady, you just have to talk about it! After saying that, he shy and hid in the house.

Shi Zhu also asked Wei Huo, knowing that he was also very satisfied with his daughter, so he wanted to send Wei Huo home in person after dinner, first, to see for himself at his house, and second, he had another matter to ask Wei Huo's mother Huo Shi for verification.

When he arrived at Wei Huo's house, Shi Zhu saw that his house was indeed a little dilapidated, and there were cracks in many places. However, the furniture in the house is quite neat, not particularly poor, and the inside and outside of the house are neatly cleaned up, and it is not a sloppy person at first glance, and the overall impression left on the stone pillar is quite good.

Wei Huo roughly explained what happened, but his parents were so happy that they served tea and poured water for Shizhu.

After chatting for a while, Shi Zhu said to Huo's family: "Eldest sister, you come out, there is something I want to tell you alone!" ”

Huo Shi was a little puzzled, but he still moved two small benches and sat outside the house with Shi Zhu, "Brother Shi, why is it so godly and chattering, you have to go outside to talk about it?" ”

"Sister Huo, I want to ask, about your father, I heard Wei Huo say that he has been dead for almost twenty years?"

"Why did you remember to ask this? Hmma died in the spring of the year of Guanyun's liberation, seventeen or eighteen years! ”

Hearing this, Shi Zhu was a little confused, so he fled back after being arrested before liberation, and told Huo about meeting Uncle Huo on the road from Xinpu to Banpu, but he didn't expect Huo to think that after hearing it, Huo Shi decided that that person was her father.

At this time, Shi Zhu took out a cigarette pouch, pressed it full of cigarettes, and slowly lit the fire, his hands were obviously a little trembling, "Sister Huo, you said that you died in the spring, but I met him in the autumn of that year!" He also said that looking at my body, it looks a bit like his son! ”

"Is it really so? No wonder I always dreamed of Bada saying that he got my little brother back! When he said this, Huo Shi couldn't even believe it, and he was shocked.

"And what about your brother later?"

"I'm back! Originally, he participated in the national army to fight devils, and after the devils surrendered, they followed the commander to join the Communist Party, but he injured his leg during the war, and now he is still a little lame when he walks. ”

Shi Zhu was silent for a long time, and then finished smoking a bag of cigarettes before he said, "Sister Huo, let's not talk about such a godly thing." Anyway, this can be regarded as a fate between our two families! Let's go to the house and talk to Brother Wei about Wei Huo and my eldest girl, Shi Shuo! ”

When he arrived at the house, Shizhu took a sip of tea and said, "Then I'll just say it, I'm quite satisfied with the rest, but your house is too old, and I'm a little worried about living in!" Seeing Wei Huo's parents frowning, Shi Zhu continued: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you, I don't have to build any stone houses or brick houses, you just need to build a new house with soil reinforcements!" ”

The frowns of the two of them tightened slightly.

Wei Huo's father took over the conversation, "It's no problem to build a house with soil tendons, it doesn't cost much, it just takes some effort, and the tiles and stringers on the roof can be used!" Then he asked Shi Zhu: "Brother Shi, what do you say about this bride price?" ”

Shi Zhu waved his right hand: "Hey--, it doesn't matter how much the bride price is, I'm not selling my daughter!" No matter how much, I will let the big girl bring it back and give them a little couple to live! ”

The Wei family smiled happily, and the Huo family then said: "Brother Shi, don't worry, we will try our best to pay the bride price, no matter what, we can't lose your daughter!" After all, it's not easy to raise a girl so big! ”

After talking, Shi Zhu stood up and prepared to leave, "Okay, it's not early, I'll go back." When you rebuild your house, let me know, and then you will make the family affairs official. Remember, you must find a matchmaker and officially come to my house to propose! ”

"Definitely, definitely!" The Wei family repeatedly kept Shizhu at home for dinner before leaving, Shizhu shirked that it was dark and was afraid that it would be difficult to hurry, so he took advantage of the sun before it went down and rode back on a bicycle.

The Wei family did not lose their words, and the next day they started to rebuild the new house, which was indeed not difficult for them. After everything stopped, the Wei family and his wife discussed letting Wei Huo's aunt be the matchmaker. Wei Huo's aunt married in Qingshan, which is very close to Guwei and more convenient on the road. A few years ago, the Wei family married their youngest daughter here, and the aunt and niece could take care of them.

On the day of the solar calendar year, when he was almost halfway down, Wei Huo took his aunt to Shi Zhu's house—to be exact, to Shi Shuo's house. In order not to waste time, Wei Huo stayed at his sister's house the night before.

Entering the door, Wei Huo's aunt Wei smiled as soon as she saw Shi Shuo and said, "Oh, this girl is really handsome, her little face is like a peach blossom, but my nephew is a blessing that has been cultivated for eight lifetimes!" Then she praised Shi Shuo all over her body, and everyone in the Shi family was happy in their hearts.

After the praise, Wei put the candy and a few things he brought on the big table. Seeing that there was candy to eat, seven-year-old Shi Xuan couldn't wait to eat it, Wei grabbed some for him in a hurry, and then took out the bride price wrapped in red paper from his arms, and said: "Brother Shi, here is one hundred and ninety-nine yuan and nine cents, which means that it can last for a long time!" ”

The Shi family was quite satisfied with this arrangement, Shi Zhu smoked a dry cigarette, and said: "Sister of the Wei family, our family is also very satisfied with your nephew Wei Huo!" I will give the bride price money to our family, and let her take it back to live when the time comes. ”

After giving the red envelope to Shi Shuo, Shi Zhu looked at Shi Yu and Ji, and continued: "Okay, then we will settle this family business!" Today is the tenth day of the lunar month, and on the sixteenth day of the lunar month, I will take Shuo'er to Wei Huo's house, and also give your brother and your sister-in-law a look at Shi Shuo, and secondly, to set the date of marriage! ”，

Wei Shi was also very happy to hear this, "Okay! Brother Shi, we will be a family in the future, what else do we need to buy, just mention your future in-laws! ”

The discussion stopped, and Wei Shi left with Wei Huo, leaving Shi Shuo by the door to quietly watch their distant backs.

On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, Shi Zhu took his eldest daughter Shi Shuo to Wei Huo's house as promised, and when he saw the rebuilt house, it really added a lot of color, and it was cleaned everywhere. Wei Huo's parents also deliberately dressed up, greeted each other with a smile, and saw that their future daughter-in-law looked like a Peugeot, and their hearts were even more happy.

Wei Huo took Shi Shuo to the room to chat alone, and the parents discussed the preparations for the wedding, which was finally set a month later, that is, on the sixteenth day of the first month of the new year.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, when the New Year was approaching, Wei Huo specially sent two bottles of wine and some small gifts to the future father-in-law according to custom, although it was not very valuable, seeing that the future son-in-law was coming, the Shi family still welcomed it as always. After staying for a while, Wei Huo proposed to take Shi Shuo to Yishan Street, the county seat, for a walk, it was the end of the month, and it was very lively. Shi Shuo also wanted to seize this rare opportunity for the two to be alone, so he readily agreed, dressed up briefly, and was about to go out with a bicycle.

At this time, Shi Shuo stopped Shi Shuo, and Shi Shuo thought that his father would not let him go out, but Shi Zhu said: "Girl, you take some of the bride price money sent by Wei Huo's family and bring it home to Wei Huo!" ”

"Why, huh?"

"People want to prepare a wedding room, and they have to buy some things or something, don't use money?"

"Alright, I'll go get some!" Shi Shuo said to Ji Shi again: "Mom, let's eat something on the street, don't wait for us to come back for dinner!" ”

So, the "little couple" set off sweetly in the sound of Ji and Shizhu's "Be careful on the road". Looking at the cheerful backs of the two on the bicycle, Ji said to Shizhu: "He, you see how good young people are now, they are much more free than we were then, you can go wherever you want, how convenient it is to have a bicycle!" ”

Shi Zhu Ying said peacefully: "Yes, we had to worry all day long, maybe we could drop a bomb in the sky someday, now it's good, not only can we live a stable life, the most important thing is that the living conditions are better than before, which is like us before, where to go mainly depends on two legs ......"

Wei Huo and Shi Shuo, two young people, were not idle on the street, and they were dazzled by a dazzling array of things: fried fritters, steamed dumplings, twist flowers, cakes, buns, maltose, all kinds of spices, spices, toys, pots and pans, brooms, dustpans, clothes and jewelry, paper-cutting, window flowers, fireworks, etc., and there were people juggling in other places, which attracted them to stop for a long time.

At noon, the two simply ate a bowl of noodles, after all, they are not people who spend money lavishly, and they are about to get married and live, and they can save money. In the afternoon, when it was almost the same as the sky, the two rode back. When he got a little north of the Yuejin Gate, Wei Huo got out of the car and walked home on his own legs, and Shi Shuo then rode back on his bicycle and arrived home in the evening.

Shi Zhu, Ji Shi and Shi Ye went to the production team to help kill the New Year's pigs and start the fish pond and have not returned; Shi Yu is helping Shi Yan with rice; Shi Xuan saw that the eldest sister had come back from the street, and immediately greeted him, shouting for something.

Shi Shuo said unhurriedly: "Shi Xuan, don't worry, this wooden sword is for you to play with!" This headband is for your second sister! There are also some oil fruits, you can take them and eat them with your second sister. The rest of these things are for the old lady and they are not allowed to be taken indiscriminately! ”

After getting the fun and delicious food, Shi Xuan immediately happily ran to the old lady and the second sister to show off.

After a while, the three Shizhu came back happily carrying a large piece of pork, pig's blood, and half a sack of fish. They were lucky enough to get meat with lard.

Seeing that Shi Shuo was back, Shi Zhu asked, "Big girl, did you bring some money back to Wei Huo?" ”

"Well, don't worry, I gave him fifty dollars!"

"Hmmm! Good! Also prepare for the new house for others! After the New Year, our family will also start to prepare, and when the time comes, I will go to Zhuzhuang to inform my relatives! ”

This year, with the exception of a few people — such as Ding Facai, but even he — and both huts were labeled with brand-new Spring Festivals — all the villagers lived to the fullest: sticking Spring Festival couplets, pasting window flowers, eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinners, and some families gathered around to listen to the radio. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the God of Wealth is scattered, relatives and friends are visited, kowtows to the New Year, and cakes and teas are drunk.

In his spare time, Shizhu pushed the old bicycle out, washed it with hot water, and applied another layer of black paint to make it look like new.

Shi Shuo saw it and asked, "Hmm, the year has passed, why are you picking up such a new bicycle?" ”

Shi Zhu looked at the eldest daughter: "Girl, you and I don't have any skills, I can't afford to buy a new bicycle, this bicycle will be given to you as a dowry!" ”

"Hmm, how can this work! This bicycle is your baby, and we are not usually allowed to ride it. Besides, if you give it to me, it won't be convenient for you to go anywhere in the future! ”

Shi Shuo knew that this bicycle was given to her father by Master Wang back then, and her father regarded it as a treasure and rarely used it for others, and it was polished every time it was used, even after more than 20 years, in addition to changing the tire a few times, its bracket was still very complete and strong. At the time of the "big steelmaking", the village cadres wanted to dismantle the car to make steel, but the father held two knives in front of him and had to fight with others to save the car. Now that he wants to give this beloved treasure to himself, Shi Shuo is naturally a little reluctant.

Shi Zhu lit a bag of cigarettes and said slowly: "Girl, you are also my sweetheart, you have been holding it in your hand for 20 years, don't you want to marry you!" I'm a little reluctant, but it's more useful to give you the car! ”

"Hmm, you're so nice to me!" Shi Shuo took his father's hand and sprinkled it, but his eyes were red.
