The days of gathering are short, and the length of time is separated. The return of Wen Yuanfang and his wife is imminent, and the old lady Lou Xiangfu told him that the husband and wife are concentric, and their profits will be broken.

On the afternoon before parting, Lou Xiangfu saw that Zhou Jiahong was busy in the field, so he mysteriously called Zhu Yuliang to his bedroom and closed the door.

I saw the old lady take out a wooden box with a delicate pattern from the bedside table, then open it with a copper key, and then take out a small blue and white cloth box from it.

"This is a mutton fat jade Maitreya Buddha pendant, which is the dowry of my mother-in-law, that is, Grandma Yuanfang, and it has been around for some years. I'm afraid I'll break it while working, and I've only hung up a few times in my life. I'll give it to my little girl now, and you can hang it around your neck, and don't take it off except for bathing. The old lady said as she took out the pendant to put on her little daughter-in-law.

"No, no, no! This heirloom should be left to the sister-in-law! I received my mother's wishes, but I don't deserve to accept such a valuable gift. My sister-in-law has made such a great contribution to the Wen family, and I have never done anything...... So it can't be collected. Zhu Yuliang stood up and hurriedly excused himself.

"Silly little girl, this is my mother's intention, don't be happy if you don't accept me. Your sister-in-law is a good person, but her temper is like glutinous rice dumplings, and she has no opinions in everything...... I praised her in front of others as the pillar of the family, but in fact, my old woman has protected her all her life! The old lady's expression was quite complicated, which made Zhu Yuliang puzzled for a while.

"Regardless of men and women, they must have their own personality when they are alive, and they must know what they want and what they don't want, and they can't run behind other people's butts. In this world, there are always more bad people than good people, and those who don't come to harm you are considered good people; Anyone who really wants you to be good can pull their fingers over. The old lady took the opportunity to recite the Book of Being a Man with her little daughter-in-law.

"I can see that Fang likes Xiao Nan very much. As long as you live in peace, you can rest assured that your mother is dead. After Lou Xiangfu finished speaking, with trembling hands and a resolute attitude, she hung Maitreya Buddha on the neck of her same favorite "Xiao Nan".

Because of the ten tables of banquets, the Wen family received not only bits and pieces of one yuan or two yuan, but also pots and pans, hot water bottles, spittoons, toilets, quilts, and pillows...... It's all used by a small new family. Lou Xiangfu asked people to wrap these daily necessities in different categories, the fragile items were packed in boxes, the bedding was packed in cloth bags, and all of them were packed and carried on the two-wheeled vehicle.

When the old lady stuffed a bag of shredded bills into Zhu Yuliang's backpack, Zhu Yuliang refused to accept it no matter what. This time, the old lady had to obey the little daughter-in-law's wishes.

As soon as the sky was polished the next day, Wen Yuanfang, Zhu Yuliang and Wen Wuwei were on the road. Lou Xiangfu and Zhou Jiahong watched them at the entrance of the village until the three of them turned into three shaking points.

When they arrived at the Paitou bus station, Wen Yuanfang and his wife got into the car; And Wen Wuwei had to pull a cart of items to continue to march towards Chengguan Town. Because Grandma took care of him: to send his uncle and aunt to send the Buddha to the West.

This boy named "Wu Wei", his real name is "Wu Wei" or "Wu Wei". When he was born, his father had lost his freedom in life and went to a labor camp. Father Wen Shaoyuan named his son "Wuwei" or "tasteless", all of which meant seeing through the red dust and having no quarrel with the world. The meaning is not difficult for people with a little culture to appreciate.

At that time, after Zhou Jiahong wrote to his uncle about his son's birth and name, Wen Yuanfang wrote back and said: The negative life of the eldest brother should not be passed on to the next generation, because children are innocent, and every child is the hope of mankind, and this hope should not be artificially destroyed. So, it's up to the uncle to call the shots: change the nephew's name from "tasteless" to "Wuwei".

Wu Wei has no memory of his father, and of course he can't talk about any father-son feelings. But fortunately, the uncle would often write to him, and he wrote several pages at a time. Wen Yuanfang always encouraged his nephew to endure humiliation and work hard like Goujian, the king of Yue, and never let himself become a person who has no quarrel with the world and does nothing.

Uncle Wen Yuanfang is the idol and mentor of the young Wen Wuwei. Under the strong encouragement of his uncle and the deliberate cultivation of his grandmother, the young Wu Wei bravely assumed all the responsibilities of a man in the family after his sister got married. Despite all kinds of discrimination in school, his academic performance has always maintained an excellent standard, so he has won the sympathy and admiration of many classmates and teachers.

Before lunch, Wen Yuanfang and his wife arrived at Tongxin Pavilion.

The two neighbors knew that they had a wedding wine when they went back to their hometown to visit relatives, so they came to say goodbye and ask for candy. Zhu Yuliang grabbed a large handful of ordinary fruit candy bought from the rural supply and marketing cooperatives for each of the two neighbors.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Wuwei's two-wheeled car also arrived at Tongxin Pavilion. Wen Yuanfang and his wife hurriedly unloaded his things, gave him a little money and food stamps, and told him to go home quickly after eating noodles on the street, so that his grandmother and mother would not remember it at home.

"Wu Wei! Be sure to pay attention to cars on the road! Write me a letter when you get home! Wen Yuanfang shouted at his nephew uneasily.

"Got it! Uncle. ”

When Wen Wuwei returned to Paitou Street, it was already dark. After returning the two-wheeled bicycle to his distant relatives, he bought two steamed buns on Paitou Street and continued on his way. By the time he reached Tangfeng Village, it was late at night, and his grandmother and mother were waiting for him. He gave a general report on the residence of his uncle and aunt in Chengguan.

Mr. and Mrs. Wen Yuanfang carefully sorted a large number of brand-new daily necessities. Those items that have double portions, one will be placed in the home of Tongxin Pavilion and one will be taken to the home of Mae Chi.

The next day, Wen Yuanfang and Zhu Yuliang got on the train with big bags and small bags and went to Meichi Supply and Marketing Cooperatives to report to work. When they arrived at the Meichi Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the couple's debut was naturally particularly eye-catching, and the talk about them flew around like pigeons.

Their new home was arranged in the corner of a large playground, with two adjoining bungalows available to them. There is a canteen of the supply and marketing cooperative, as well as a pond and well......

The residence is settled, everything that needs to be done has been done, and now the couple has to sit down and plan the next separation life.

They consulted and came to the following consensus:

About reunions: Each person has four days off per month, and if each person takes two staggered holidays, they will have four reunions in a month.

Regarding financial management: Wen Yuanfang's salary is 2.5 times that of Zhu Yuliang, and 60% of Wen's salary is used as savings, and 40% is used to support his mother, sister-in-law, mother and son, as well as all relatives who need help.

Regarding childbirth: If there is no "sitting on the joy" this month, then it is necessary to take birth control measures and strive not to have children for four years. This is based on two considerations: first, the child is born without anyone to take it; The second is that Zhu Yuliang's body has not fully matured, and giving birth to a child too early is not conducive to the physical and mental health of the mother and child.

The plan was drawn up and immediately began to be implemented. After more than half a year, the implementation of the plan is good:

About the reunion: They shuttle like two diligent swallows through the railroad tracks between Chengguan and Mae Chi.

On financial management: They have gone from $90 when they got married to triple digits.

Regarding fertility: they were fortunate enough to circumvent "sitting on the joy" and adopted safe contraception with the help of Dr. Liu Yuelan.

After Wen Yuanfang became the deputy director of Meichi Supply and Marketing Cooperative, he completely devoted himself to his work. Except for the days when they met in Queqiao, he completely forgot that he still had a home in Chengguan, and there was a little wife at home who was unfamiliar with life and didn't know what to do after work......

At that time, separating the husband and wife to work in the Antarctic and the North Pole was regarded as the most brilliant invention.

At that time, if you indulged in the love of men and women in a small family, you would not only be discriminated against by the cadres and the masses, but also lose your job.

Zhu Yuliang is no longer the focus of Wen Yuanfang's life from now on, she is just a basic configuration of him. Until one day, he received a call from his wife's boss, Director Li Fan: "Lao Wen, Xiao Zhuda has resigned and reported!" ”

Wen Yuanfang suddenly remembered that he also had a wife named "Zhu Yuliang".
