The ridge is full of Yingshan Red (novella) Zhang Baotong 2016.1.2

Yuxiu's parents want to invite Chen Jie to a meal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This is one of the most common ways for rural people to thank others. That afternoon, Yuxiu took Chen Jie home.

Yuxiu's parents came out with their younger siblings to greet them. Mother He took Chen Jie's hand warmly and brought him into the hall all the time, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, talking long and short. Because Father He was not good at talking, he made tea for the guests and gave up their seats, and served washing water.

Chen Jie washed his face and hands, and then took out two packs of gold leaf cigarettes for Father He. Father He was like accepting a gift of valuables from someone else, and his mouth couldn't close with joy. Seeing Yuxiu's younger brother Feng Yanzi and little sister Yuxiang surrounding him, Chen Jie took out a set of "Lin Hai Xueyuan" villain book and a stationery box from his schoolbag and gave them to Feng Lingzi and Yuxiang. The two of them took their things and ran out of the hall with cheers, showing off to the other children.

At this time, Yuxiu washed herself and came out of her house. Chen Jie put a golden hairpin on her hand and said, "This is for you." ”

Yuxiu refused to ask for it, saying, "Give it to your sister." ”

Chen Jie said, "My sister is still a primary school student. ”

Yuxiu took the hairpin and looked at it, so she liked it and said, "Wearing it on your head, people think that there is a butterfly on your head." ”

Chen Jie smiled and said, "It means that even butterflies like you so much." ”

Because his father was right in front of him, Chen Jie said this, which made Yuxiu feel ashamed.

Mother He cooked the egg tea, brought it over, and asked Chen Jie to eat it. Egg tea, which is made with eggs and brown sugar, is the highest etiquette for local guests. Chen Jie found that he didn't bring a gift to He Mu, so he said, "He Ma, I'm sorry, I didn't have to prepare a gift for you." I'll catch it up next time. ”

He Mu immediately waved her hand and said, "You have helped my family so much, and you have spent so much money, so I can't thank you enough." ”

After a while, a girl who looked like Yuxiu came back from school. She entered the hall, glanced at Chen Jie, and then entered her own room. Yuxiang took out the stationery box in her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and said, "Sister, look, I have a stationery box." It was given by Brother Xiao Chen. The girl picked up her sister's stationery box and looked at it, then went into her brother's room, picked up a villain book, and began to read it.

Chen Jie asked Yuxiu, "This is your sister?" ”

Yuxiu said, "It's my eldest sister, 14 years old this year, in the second year of junior high school in Honghua Middle School. ”

Chen Jie said, "You call her over." ”

Yuxiu shouted, "Yuying, come here." ”

The girl came over. Yuxiu said, "This is your little brother Chen." ”

The girl nodded. Chen Jie took out a fountain pen from his schoolbag and said, "This is a prize from the county for my brother to be a good worker." ”

Yuxiu immediately stopped and said, "No, give it to her, what do you use to write?" ”

But Yuying had already held the pen in her hand, and she was at a loss when she heard her sister say this. Chen Jie said, "When I get home, I'll get another one." ”

Hearing this, Yuying picked up the pen and walked away.

Father He said, "A few days ago, she was crying with me, saying that many of her classmates had fountain pens and asked me to buy her one, but I didn't have time to go to the commune supply and marketing cooperative. ”

Yuxiu couldn't bear it anymore, and said to her father, "Our family is only afraid that Chen Jie will be regarded as a rich man." ”

Chen Jie said, "Don't say that, the first time I came to your house, I can't be empty-handed. ”

I heard that the He family had guests, and the people who came to visit came one after another, and after a while, the big hall was full. Some people don't have a place to sit, so they simply sit on the threshold. Chen Jie happened to bring some cigarettes and candy, and when he saw a man, he opened a cigarette, and when he saw a woman and children, he sprinkled sugar.

Everyone saw that Chen Jie was polite and didn't have a frame, so they asked him casually. The eldest grandfather in the village asked Chen Jie, "What kind of work do your parents do?" ”

Chen Jie said, "My father was a railway worker who built railways in Yunnan, and my mother didn't have a job and did housework in the house. ”

Father Sun asked again, "Father makes a lot of money in a month?" ”

Chen Jie said, "It's about 70 yuan." ”

Someone said, "It's better to be a worker, I earn more money in a month than I do in a year." ”

Sister Xu, a neighbor's cousin, asked Chen Jie, "How many brothers and sisters do you have?" ”

Chen Jie said, "There is a brother, a sister, a brother and a sister, and I am ranked third. ”

Sister Xu asked again, "Are your brothers and sisters working?" ”

Chen Jie said, "Yes. ”

Sister Xu said, "Your family's conditions are quite good. ”

At this time, the captain Bing Dad came. Yuxiu hurriedly served tea, and Chen Jie handed over cigarettes. Daddy Bin looked at the cigarette and said, "This cigarette is so expensive." ”

Fan Dad next to him said, "That's it, I smoked this cigarette, and it costs more than two dimes a pack." ”

Bing's father said, "I saw that the commune cadres only smoked economic cigarettes for nine cents a pack. ”

Everyone drank tea, smoked cigarettes, and ate sugar, and began to say something that made people happy. It seems like a reward. The cousin of the Xie family said, "Chen Jie is handsome and gentle, and he will be recruited as a worker in the future, and the beautiful girl will follow to enjoy the blessings." ”

Yuxiu immediately corrected and said, "We're just friends, we don't have to talk about love." ”

Some people said, "Before we got married, we were friends, but when we got married, we were lovers." ”

Yuxiu said, "It's not the same when you're married or not married. ”

Everyone laughed and said, "Of course, when you get married, you get stuck together." When she said this, Yuxiu's face was feverish.

Captain Bin's father is the authority in the village, and naturally he has the most words and the heaviest weight. He said, "Xiu Meizi is beautiful and beautiful, and she is extremely smart, not to mention the Chaling Brigade, even the entire Honghua Commune is not comparable." However, I also saw Xiao Chen's son, he is handsome, quite tall, especially his eyes are so bright, and he looks like a showman at first glance. In the future, the two of them can be a couple, which is a talented woman, a talented woman, and a beautiful woman, and it is also a good story of our Chaling 13th team. ”
