Chapter Eighty-Three: A New Beginning

Time is fleeting, and in a blink of an eye, it is January 1 of '83, that is, New Year's Day of '82.

At the beginning of the new year, Li Zhongxin put on the sky blue down jacket that Wang Boxin bought, stepped on the anti-wool travel shoes, and carried out his morning exercise rain or shine.

The time he spent exercising had increased from half an hour to forty minutes, and this increase in time was a plan that Li Zhongxin had set for himself.

He knew in his heart that if he wanted to lay a good foundation for his body, he had to start from a young age, and he had to do this kind of thing in the morning, unless it was a knife in the sky, or something important, otherwise, he couldn't break it for a day.

If you want to be in good health and have the capital to revolutionize, you must strengthen physical exercise, exercise your body, defend yourself, and strengthen your muscles, so as to prevent being beaten.

Eighty-two years have completely passed, and he ushered in a new beginning, this eighty-three years, he has to work harder to let the people in his family live a happy life.

Li Zhong knew in his confidence that at the end of '82, when he thought of renovating the old house he lived in now, he was no longer in a hurry, and at this time, his parents and grandfather would not agree to use Wang Bo's money to do such a thing.

If they are allowed to move, it will be even more impossible, after all, they have lived in this place for decades, and the surrounding neighbors know each other, and they can have someone to talk to when they go out, and once they want to move, they will definitely feel uncomfortable.

Li Zhongxin remembered in a trance that a family surnamed Xu opposite the window of his house moved out in 83 years, and after a while, he asked Wang Bo to go over and inquire.

If there is nothing too big to say, he will buy the house of that family, clean it up properly, and open another door to the house, and then the area of the house will increase, and the housing conditions will be greatly improved, and he will be able to have enough space for himself.

If the building conditions allow, it is also good to build this place as a small villa or a small building in the second section.

The forty-minute morning exercise ended quickly, and after he returned home after exercising, he actually saw Feng Xiaowu coming to the house in the morning to give gifts to the master.

Li Zhongxin saw that since Feng Xiaowu ran with him for a while, his spirit had changed significantly, and even when he gave gifts, he was not as confident as before.

Feng Xiaowu brought a four-way ceremony, which can be regarded as a relatively valuable one in this era.

The cigarette is Hongta Mountain, the wine is Moutai, the dim sum is the trough cake produced by the No. 2 Food Factory, and there are two bottles of canned food, a bottle of canned hawthorn, and a bottle of canned horse noodle fish.

Generally speaking, in the late 70s and early 80s, it was popular to give Sihe gifts, which generally refer to cigarettes (Phoenix, Daqianmen, large production), wine (53 excellent wines are available), dim sum (trough cakes are also available in good conditions in the later stage), canned food (generally canned fruit or fish).

Feng Xiaowu gave a lot of gifts at this time, and under normal circumstances, he usually gave such a four-way gift during the Spring Festival.

When Li Zhongxin returned home, Li Shangyong was chattering about educating this Feng Xiaowu!

"You buy so many things for me? Are you sick? Don't you know what your home looks like? The more Li Shangyong said, the more angry he became, pointing at Feng Xiaowu's nose and shouting: "You haven't turned regular yet, you only earn twenty-six yuan a month, how much do you have to spend to buy these things, at least your monthly salary, I have already told the leaders above that I will give you a regular after New Year's Day, not a gift, I will give you a regular business." Take these things home for me and honor your wife. ”

Seeing that Feng Xiaowu didn't mean to take it at all, Li Shangyong became even more angry, this apprentice just felt that he had opened his mind, why is he still screwed with himself now?

Li Shangyong's brows twisted into twists, and he continued very unhappily: "Don't make such a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, do you understand what I said, take it all away for me in a while, and take it back to honor your wife." After New Year's Day, we can have eyebrows, so let's not talk about this. ”

Feng Xiaowu saw that Li Shangyong was a little angry, and he smiled with a smile: "Master, you can accept these!" Without your help, I wouldn't be anything right now. If you let me take the things back, my mother will definitely kill me, these things are bought by my mother herself, if it weren't for the inconvenience of my mother's walking, she would have to come to see you! ”

Feng Xiaowu's topic suddenly changed again, and he said very seriously: "Master, you can also see that the conditions in our family are much better than before, you see, I have smoked Hongta Mountain cigarettes." Come, master, smoke a cigarette and don't be angry. ”

Li Zhongxin saw Feng Xiaowu's style and speaking skills, and immediately felt a sense of relief in his heart.

From these, it can be seen that in the past half a year, Feng Xiaowu has been trained by him very well, and compared with before, it can be said that there have been earth-shaking changes.

In the past, if Feng Xiaowu had encountered such a situation, he would never have said so many words, let alone carry his wife out as a shield.

Li Zhongxin felt that Feng Xiaowu's words were still relatively level, and he said the reason for the gift, without the help of his master, he would not be where he is now.

And the gift was chosen by his wife, if he was asked to take it back, his mother would not let him, and he would not give Feng Xiaowu's wife face.

took out the Hongta Mountain in his pocket and handed it to Li Shangyong, and even told Li Shangyong in disguise that he really had some money now, and he could afford these things to honor his master, and he didn't have to consider the conditions in his family.

It's New Year's Day now, and it's definitely a matter of course for him to send these things to his master.

Feng Xiaowu saw that the displeasure on his master's face was gradually disappearing, he patted his head, took out a small bag from his pocket, and handed it to Li Shangyong.

Feng Xiaowu said as he handed it over: "Master, this is the mother-in-law Ding Gan, who brought it to the master to soak in water and drink." It is very hard for my mother to be a teacher, especially at this time, the trachea is not very good, my mother said, this wild vegetable is the most effective for coughing and tracheal inflammation and the like. It took my mom a long time to dry it. ”

Li Shangyong was stunned for a moment, then happily took the bag in Feng Xiaowu's hand, patted Feng Xiaowu's shoulder very happily, and said excitedly: "Xiao Wuzi, you have a heart!" Go back and tell your mother that I thank her on behalf of my family, and that I will visit her over there when I have some time. ”

Li Shangyong was not very interested in the four-way gift that Feng Xiaowu brought, after all, the conditions in their family had been greatly improved, and there was no need for apprentices with bad conditions to honor him, but Ding Gan, the mother-in-law that Feng Xiaowu took out later, was very attentive to him.

Daughter-in-law Wang Yaqing is a teacher, she eats chalk ash all day long, and every winter, she always feels uncomfortable in her trachea, always coughs, and there is nothing wrong with going to the hospital for examination.

In the early autumn of '82, he heard of a home remedy, that is, drinking mother-in-law Ding dried and soaked in water, which had a strong effect on relieving trachea and cough, but at that time, mother-in-law Ding was gone, and if he wanted to get that kind of thing, he had to wait at least until the spring of '83, and when he drank this kind of mother-in-law dry soaked water, he had to wait until 1984.

Li Zhongxin looked at the Sihe gift that Feng Xiaowu had brought over, and tasted what Feng Xiaowu had just said, he always felt that a new idea had emerged in his heart, but he hadn't completely figured it out yet.
