Chapter 80: Reservoirs

"Reservoir" is not a real reservoir, just a place name to the east of Star City. There was indeed a small reservoir in the 50s and 70s of the last century, and later with the expansion and development of the city, this reservoir was filled in and a large residential area was built. Now there is no trace of the reservoir here, but the people of Star City are still accustomed to using this name to this day. Nowadays, there is a street where there are more night snack shops, and many of them taste better, so people often like to go there.

When I arrived, I saw Zhang Xun sitting alone at the table by the floor-to-ceiling glass drinking from a distance, and from the empty Yanjing beer bottle on the table, it seemed that he had arrived for a while.

I said, "Looks like you're having a good day." ”

He was glad to see me coming, "It's coming so soon, sit down." ”

When I saw that I had a full glass of beer in front of me, I said, "Which one is this?" Anyone else coming? ”

He said, "Don't raise your bar, you see that I have poured all the wine with you." ”

"Didn't we say I'd only drink Coke or Wangzai?" I pretended to call the waiter, "Girl, bring me a big bottle of Coke." ”

"Don't call them, I'll explain to them as soon as I come, there is no coke here today, and there are no other drinks, only wine." Zhang Xun said with a smile, and then he picked up the cup in front of me and sent it to me, "You drink less." ”

In fact, I already knew in my heart that since I came today, it was inevitable to have something in this cup. I smiled and took the wine glass and took a sip, "What's the matter, what's the irritability, is there something that our brother Xun can't handle?" "Come, drink this cup and talk about it." He took another drink.

It turned out that their family did not accept the little ** style to be his girlfriend. I wonder if Han Routong has a slender figure, beautiful facial features, and a pair of appearance conditions with Brother Xun is more than enough. If Xiao Han is a delicate piece of meat, Brother Xun is the piece of fat that the butcher shop owner is comfortable with. Although I haven't had much contact with her, I've only seen her two or three times, but I think she is very sensible and diligent, and her behavior has also been well received by everyone, what's wrong?

"Maybe your father, the old man who burns the fire, picks his daughter-in-law, has a higher vision than you? Not every daughter-in-law in the house has to be like Zhao Yazhi and Zhou Huimin, right? I asked him.

Our old custom here, when the son takes in the daughter-in-law, the father is jokingly called the "old man who burns the fire", to wear a very high hat, in many places in many places to use an ink pen to blacken the face, now the city is more civilized, generally only a little blush. "Burning fire" is actually a bit meaty and a little indecent, which is probably equivalent to "picking ashes" in the Wu dialect. In "Dream of Red Mansions", the drunken Jiao scolded the Jia family for "picking up ashes and raising little uncles", and "picking up ashes" refers to Jia Zhen cheating with her daughter-in-law Qin Keqing.

"That's not it," Zhang Xun said, "mainly because her family conditions are too poor, and she is from the township."

It turned out that Han Routong's family was in the remote mountainous area of Chunan Province, the family had been farmers for several generations, her parents were farming at home, and most of her relatives, uncles, and uncles were still in the mountains. In addition, there is a younger brother who is in high school at home, and the family is burdened, so Xiao Han now has to save part of his salary every month and send it home.

I didn't like it when I heard it, could it be that your family is a nobleman, and someone married into a wealthy family? Do you still have to conduct a political trial first to check whether the three generations of ancestors are innocent and qualified? China is a country with thousands of years of agricultural civilization, and who is not a farmer's son and daughter of a few generations? In terms of dignitaries and magnates, in the 20th century, no one in China could surpass Mao and Chairman Chiang, who were born without urban hukou, and their hometowns were green mountains and clear waters. The Song Meiling Niu who appeared on the cover of Time magazine and gave a speech in the US Congress, the Song family is a big family in Shanghai, in fact, her father, Mr. Han, "a short young man who looks like a Chinese and indigenous mixed race in the western Indian Ocean Islands", turned out to be a poor peasant from Wenchang, Hainan.

Some people with bad intentions must jump out and accuse me of making mistakes, how can the father of the three dignified Song sisters be surnamed Han? That's right, his real surname is Han, his original name is "Han Jiaozhun", and his father, that is, Song Meiling's grandfather, is called Han Hongyi. Don't let the Koreans know this secret, otherwise their scholars may prove that their ancestors are estimated to be Koreans like Confucius and Sun Yat-sen. Mr. Han Jiaozhun was later adopted by his cousin before changing his surname to Song, called Song Jiashu, also known as Song Gaosheng, Song Yaoru, Song Charlie, according to Xingcheng dialect, anyway, there are so many names that people are a little "confused".

Han Routong is also surnamed Han, everyone is a family, maybe it was a family hundreds of years ago, and she may have many similarities or similarities with Song Ziwen and the Song sisters in her genes, so it is possible that Miss Han Routong's identity will also become noble. Although I haven't had time to verify her ancestry, I know that Han Routong works as hard and has strong ability like her family, Mr. Han, otherwise she would not have joined the work and would have been the manager of the company's marketing department in less than 2 years. Her salary is assessed according to performance, and the monthly income is more than 7-8,000 yuan plus bonuses when it is high, and 4-5,000 yuan when it is low, which is far better than Zhang Xun's salary of just 2,000 yuan anyway. But because he has to rent a house by himself and support his family, Xiao Han's daily expenses are very economical. Smart and hardworking, simple and kind, what a good girl.

I blamed Zhang Xun no, I said that you have to think clearly about whether the marriage is for yourself or for your parents, if she is your own choice, she is the marriage partner you want, you have to be brave to become her dependence. You should do a good job of communicating with your parents, find more opportunities to let them know Han's strengths, and strive for their understanding and recognition.

He said that I understand these big truths, my parents also set a set when they did other people's work, they seemed very open-minded and open-minded, and when it was their turn, they changed their faces, anyway, they left a sentence for me: "I worked hard with your mother all the way, and finally came out of the countryside, settled in the city, and mixed well, and gradually got rid of the rustic atmosphere on my body, so that others recognized the identity of our city people, you can't mix back for me, and spread such a large family of rural relatives." "By the way, Zhang Xun's parents are both medical workers, working in two different hospitals in Xingcheng, and the most disgusting thing on weekdays is that the seven aunts and eight aunts in his hometown line up to come to Xingcheng to see a doctor, to arrange room and board, help with registration, inpatient ward discounts, and finally send something to them to take back, if you don't want to receive it, you can't pull this old face, unless you never go back to your hometown in the future.

Speechless.
