Chapter 25: Enthusiastic Old Man Xu
"Okay, I'll wait. I'm going back to tell my roommate. They don't eat the buns you make these days and can't sleep. The guy said with a smile.
"I'll wait, visit my stall often, I'll give you a discount." Hao sent the young man away with a smile.
When the people in the back heard this, someone immediately started to coax.
"The hostess has to give us a discount too!"
"Okay, discount." Hao said with a smile.
"Old bridesmaid, you have such a good craft, how good it is to open a restaurant." A middle-aged uncle spoke.
"I also have this idea, but now the conditions do not allow it, and the opening of the store has to be postponed for a few years. When my daughter is older, I'll think about it again. Hao Hao took the time to look at Tian Tian, who was sleeping behind the curtain, and smiled happily.
"You look like you're in your early twenties, and you all have daughters, so we can't catch up with you young people." The middle-aged uncle looked disbelieving and looked at Hao Hao several times.
"We are like this in the countryside, early birth and early childbearing. A child of my age can make soy sauce. "Hao Hao can't, in this era, rural women are all early marriage and early childbearing, don't think about late marriage and late childbearing.
"Also, when my daughter was the same age as you, she had two children. It's a pity that she is pulling two babies alone, and her life is hard. The middle-aged uncle sighed.
"It's all the same, I'm glad I have a skill, otherwise I'd have to live like this. It's not easy for everyone. "The good boy is very understanding.
When the people behind heard that it made sense, they echoed it.
"The hostess was right. If you have a skill, you won't have to worry about eating and wearing. ”
It didn't take long for the people at the stalls to leave one after another. Hao Hao took the time to wipe his sweat, sat on the bench next to him, took the water and drank it.
"Dad, you can eat some too, I don't see many steamed buns left. There is still some braised pork left. It is estimated that it will be sold out by noon. ”
"I'm full. Da Hei hasn't eaten it yet, so I'll mix some bran and eat it. Xu Laohan said with a smile.
"Daddy Dahei doesn't eat bran, you can mix some broth, put some bones, and add a bun." Hao Hao said stiffly.
"He eats better than anyone else, so that people can hear him and poke his backbone." Xu Laohan was angry when he heard it, he usually didn't see Hao Hao how to feed the two dogs Today, when he heard this, he had to do it.
"Daddy Dahei takes care of Tiantian, eats bran, can't scrub cleanly, and it's easy to give Tiantian a sickness. I don't think we can eat much broth, so I'll mix it up and eat it. Da Hei usually helps you drive cattle and sheep. Hao Hao continued.
"Okay." Xu Laohan couldn't resist it, and he also thought of his granddaughter, just this one single seedling, it is better to be cautious.
Tian Runsheng is here again. Driving the car, he looked at Hao Hao who was busy on the dining car from afar.
Last night's irritability was also relieved, and she talked to the person who bought the breakfast, and although he couldn't hear it clearly, he listened to it intermittently.
The morning sun has just risen over the mountain, and wisps of golden sunlight are falling from the top of the mountain. Hao Hao's eyes were darker and brighter.
"Woman, do you think that's the offspring of yesterday?" After Xu Laohan finished feeding the big black, he looked at Tian Runsheng, who was standing next to the jeep not far away, wearing a black coat.
"Yes." He replied with a good look.
"Why did he get here so early?" Old man Xu muttered, and Hao Hao on the side heard it clearly.
"I don't know, I guess something's wrong." Hao Hao didn't care and said.
"Do you want to be born after that?" Xu Laohan was suddenly overjoyed and acted as a matchmaker.
"Dad estimates that people have something, just passing by." Hao Hao was helpless, she had a headache about Xu Laohan's media pulling.
Only then did they meet and decide.
"Woman, I don't think she got married and started a family in her later life, otherwise he wouldn't know how to sew the buttons of his clothes." What Xu Laohan said was the Tao, and Hao Hao couldn't refute it for a while.
"Dad, aren't we a little excited?" Hao Hao turned around and asked.
"Don't be afraid, you have so many women, it's hard to find them with lanterns, I think that the offspring is just right for you." Xu Laohan took a puff of his cigarette and continued.
"Dad, this is the princess selling melons." Hao laughed.
"My woman is fine, what's wrong with me boasting?" Xu Laohan snorted, obviously unwilling to listen to Hao Hao's words.
Tian Runsheng still walked over with his feet raised, he secretly exhaled, and his steps were extremely firm.
"You're here so early!"
"You're pretty early, too. Have you had breakfast? Hao Hao asked stubbornly, she didn't close Xu Laohan and squeezed his eyes on the side.
"No, I see that you have a lot of people for breakfast, and your business is very good." Tian Runsheng was nervous, and he couldn't say anything.
"It's cold outside, come in and eat. Talk to my old man. Xu Laohan couldn't get used to the two of them, so he hurriedly greeted them.
"Isn't that okay?" Tian Runsheng glanced at Hao Hao.
"It's not bad. I don't think you're in a hurry, come in and talk to my old man. Xu Laohan continued to greet.
"Okay." Tian Runsheng glanced at Hao Hao and found that her eyes were not looking at herself, but staring at the curtain on the side. He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
"Eat a bun and drink a hot soup. On such a cold day, you are wearing such a thin and cold life. Xu Laohan was very enthusiastic, and he was holding steamed buns and handing hot tea, which made Tian Runsheng a little flattered.
"Come and live here." Xu Laohan looked at Tian Runsheng, who was stunned, stretched out half of his body and dragged him, until he entered the dining car and sat by the stove on one side, he was satisfied.
"Eat it." Xu Laohan continued to urge.
"Okay." Tian Runsheng was still shy, and picked up the bun embarrassedly, well, it was so fragrant, it was even better than yesterday's braised pork.
After a few bites, he reached out and took another one, and finished eating the buns under the kind gaze of Xu Laohan.
"Take a sip of soup." Xu Laohan was too enthusiastic, and Hao Hao behind the curtain couldn't help but blush. How she couldn't get married, Xu Laohan decided that the one in front of her was her partner.
"Uncle is delicious. I don't know how much better than I've eaten before. Tian Runsheng solved another one, Xu Laohan continued to hand it over, and just like that, a plate of buns went down to his stomach.
"Huh" Tian Runsheng burped, and his face turned even redder.
"It's a blessing to be able to eat. Where do you work in the next generation? Old man Xu smiled, and then asked.
"Uncle, I am an idler in the public security bureau of the nearby county. Tian Runsheng is a little embarrassed, he is indeed an idler, many people treat him as porcelain dolls, and they care about his ears, so they don't arrange heavy work.
"The public family is very good, even idlers are idlers that everyone envies. As soon as you are young, you will have many opportunities in the future. "Xu Laohan has an inexplicable awe of the public family, probably something in the bones of our Chinese children, no matter how advanced and civilized he is, he has a kind of respect for officials, and he is a little inexplicably afraid.
"Uncle, don't laugh at me. I have nothing to envy as an idler. Tian Runsheng said with a wry smile, everyone only saw the surface, but did not understand the depths.
"Why don't you believe it in your later life? The people in our village all want to be a public family, but they can't be able to do it after they work hard and have relationships, and others like you can't ask for it. Xu Laohan disagreed, these things are true, and they are also the social dynamics of the entire era.
"I used to be a soldier, but then I retired because of something, and then I went to the Public Security Bureau." Tian Runsheng continued.
"You are a great junior, you can be a soldier, and you can't go even if you have a broken head. Are you a little bit related to the family. Old man Xu asked bluntly.
"My second father is the secretary of the provincial party committee, and he was the secretary of the county party committee before I became a soldier, which means that it is a bit of a relationship. However, military merit was earned by myself. Tian Runsheng was also generous, he didn't hide how he was a soldier, and the sincere Hao Hao was a little embarrassed.
"What's your second father's name?" Xu Laohan asked suddenly.
"Tian Fujun." Tian Runsheng replied.
"It turned out to be Secretary Tian, he is a good official. I didn't expect to meet his nephew today. Xu Laohan took a puff of cigarette and said slowly.
"Uncle, do you know my second father?" Tian Runsheng asked.
"Not only did we know him, but he also helped us live a good life. He is a good official who does facts for the people. Old man Xu fell into deep thought. It was an era of hunger and cold, everyone could not eat, and some officials mistakenly understood the meaning of the upper echelons, which made the lowly people guilty. It was Secretary Tian Fujun who risked being dismissed and helped them get through the difficulties.
"Daddy." Hao Hao came out and shouted, looking at Tian Runsheng, who was listening seriously, she suddenly thought of the ordinary world, Tian Runsheng and Tian Fujun are also uncles and nephews, but Tian Runsheng in the novel did not go to the police station, but was assigned to sweep the grave. The young policeman in front of him is not the same as the novel, probably with the same name and surname. It seems that she is not wearing a book.
"What's wrong with the woman?" Old man Xu came to his senses.
"There are no customers now, I want to go shopping, and if someone comes, you can just sell the rest of the dishes and buns." Hao Hao said.
"Okay, go with this offspring, you are old classmates." Xu Laohan thundered Hao Hao again, and she agreed hard.
"Where are you going?" Tian Runsheng looked at Hao Hao on the side, and looked at Tian Tian who showed his eyes from her arms from time to time. Secretly teasing her.
"Just walk around. Are you familiar with this place? Hao Hao paid attention to his feet wholeheartedly and walked very carefully.
"Okay, do you want to buy something?" Tian Runsheng asked.
"If you don't buy it, you just want to go. Is there a place to visit? Hao looked around, but he didn't find a place to hide people from the wind.
"I'll take you for a ride in the car, I see that your things are almost sold out, why don't I send you back?" Tian Runsheng looked at the fact that there were so few pedestrians outside, and the temperature was low. The little baby can't stand such a cold day.
"That's fine. Then I'll go and tell my father, just touch the light of my old classmates and take a police car. "Hao Hao hasn't been in a car in the 80s, I want to try it."
"Okay." Tian Runsheng smiled even brighter when he heard this.
Everything was arranged, and the three of them set off.
The sound of "sudden" cars can be heard from afar. The three of them sat in the car, and the atmosphere was a little awkward and quiet.
"How have you been doing all these years? What about your husband? Tian Runsheng hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Fortunately, my husband died a few years ago, and he was crushed to death while the hoop kiln was being used. Leave me alone, Tian Tian and my father-in-law. Hao Hao's face was calm, and he couldn't hear the slightest sadness.
"I'm sorry, I brought you up the sad thing." Tian Runsheng's heart ached and he couldn't help but apologize.
