Chapter 2: Has He Changed for the Better?
Looking at Xu Chanyi's appearance, Bai Xiuran was a little sad, a woman with picturesque eyebrows and a look better than a fairy is now a dead word.
He didn't know what to say, so he went to open the door and called his daughter softly: "Nana, dad hug." ”
"Woooooo Nana was so frightened that she didn't dare to look at him, and her two calves quickly ran into the house, and then hid behind Xu Chanyi.
Bai Xiuran sighed when he saw this, picked up a broom and cleaned up the residue on the ground, and cleaned it up after a while.
Xu Chanyi's cooking is also good, two bowls of white pimples, a bowl of lard bibimbap, and a small plate of pickles.
The lard bibimbap is for Nana, it is rare to have oil and water, children also like to eat it, white gnocchi soup is waterless, Bai Xiuran eats it very well, anyway, I didn't eat less when I was a child.
"Huh! Didn't you buy vegetables, why don't you cook some vegetables, and the child will eat more vegetables when he grows up. Bai Xiuran asked casually.
"I'll tell you, this is for my dad to keep for tomorrow's breakfast, the child grows up, I think you want to eat, you dare to move, I have a big deal to fight with you, let's die and the net is broken." Xu Chanyi said coldly.
Bai Xiuran looked at Xu Chanyi, who looked at death as if he were at home, frowned, and hurriedly explained: "I'm worried about the child, I don't eat it, this white gnocchi is very good, Dad's business is really fortunate to you." ”
"During this time, you have been suffering and tired, you have to work every day, and you have to go to your hometown to deliver food to your father, the daughter-in-law of the Bai family is really good."
Hearing Bai Xiuran's words, Xu Chanyi was stunned, this man had eaten crazy wine today, and he actually said such an incredible thing, she shook her head and thought of something, and said with firm eyes: "There is no money in the family, I beg you to do something serious." ”
Bai Xiuran's father encountered a landslide when he went to relatives, which led to disability, his mother worked in other places to earn money for his sister to go to school, and the two brothers took turns to take care of them.
"Well, I'll do a good job." Bai Xiuran smiled.
Xu Chanyi didn't believe his words at all, she had said this countless times, every time she wanted to get the money, she still used it to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, she didn't feel it, she didn't bother to take care of Bai Xiuran, picked up the bowl and ate quietly.
After eating, Bai Xiuran took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but Xu Chanyi was scared, for fear that he would accidentally have another bag on his forehead, and he didn't settle down until Bai Xiuran finished cleaning up.
After Xu Chanyi put Nana to sleep, she sat on the sofa to keep accounts, she graduated from high school and was the accountant of the factory, and her own family must be remembered clearly.
Bai Xiuran glanced at it, and clearly remembered that the total daily expenses today: 0.5 yuan for a tomato, 0.63 yuan for a piece of soap, 1 pound of pepper for 5 jiao, and a pound of onions for 0.07 yuan, a total of 2.7 yuan.
The page on the left surprised Bai Xiuran, on August 10, 1988, a salary of 50 yuan was paid, when the family took 30 yuan to entertain, and paid off the neighbor's arrears of 3 yuan and 5 yuan, and there was 16 yuan and 5 cents left, when the family was referring to him, but did not write that he went to drink, but to socialize.
Coupled with today's two yuan seven, there are a total of 13 yuan and 8 cents left in the family, and they are so poor that they can't open the pot, this money is enough to eat a bowl of Lanzhou ramen in the next generation, but now it is the next ration for the family.
The year 1988 was a crucial year for the transition from a planned economy to a market economy, and if I remember correctly, the wages of workers in the city at this time were generally more than 30 yuan, and the salaries of those who graduated from technical secondary schools and high schools were a little higher, reaching about 40 to 50.
The city where they are located is close to Shenzhen, like food stamps and other things have been canceled, Shenzhen is 1984, Longcheng is 1987, all parts of the country are different, all the time is canceled is 1994, in other words, the city is changing from a planned economy to a market economy.
"I'm sorry, I will earn money to support my family in the future, I was not me before, and I will be me in the future." Bai Xiuran felt ashamed, although he didn't do it himself, but after all, he occupied other people's bodies.
"What?"
Xu Chanyi was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, closed the account book and quietly watched Bai Xiuran's every move, and the sun came out in the west.
Bai Xiuran is not a person who says sorry, and the mantra that often hangs on his lips is whether you want to be beaten to death, hurry back and get a divorce.
She thought about divorce, but she would provoke irresponsible gossip, she was not afraid of outsiders' gossip, but her parents were afraid, and the family wanted to be faced.
Moreover, Bai Xiuran always has a gentle side, for example, he is very good now, much like before, elegant and elegant.
Opening the window, Bai Xiuran looked at the moonlight like water, shining on Xu Chanyi's face, he felt distressed, how Xu Chanyi, who was full of scars, had spent the past few years.
"The moonlight is very beautiful, but it is not as good as yours, it's okay to open the window to breathe, so that Mingyue is ashamed and ashamed, and even let a woman compare."
Xu Chanyi was a little sluggish, walked to the window with light steps, the vigilance in his heart was still not relaxed, and his heart was bumped.
Is that true?
Or are you looking for an excuse to ask me for money again?
But looking at his serious eyes, it doesn't look like a lie, there is only living expenses left in the family, and Nana still has to buy nutritional products, I can't be soft-hearted, absolutely not soft-hearted.
"Bai Xiuran, your rhetoric can't deceive me, there is only living expenses left in the family, you can kill me, it's all yours to kill me."
Xu Chanyi closed the window, and the next scene was to be beaten again, and the windows in the house were closed for fear of the neighbors' jokes.
Bai Xiuran raised his hands, as if he was about to fan her cheeks in the next second, but the hands that fell on his face were soft, rubbing, and her little mouth was pouting.
"I'm serious, cicada, wife."
Bai Xiuran put his hand down, stared at her eyes and said sincerely: "From now on, I swear not to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble again, make money seriously to support my family, give you a warm home, and give Nana the best school." ”
He knew that he couldn't go back, so he wanted to confess to Xu Chanyi that he was reborn and not his predecessor Bai Xiuran, but let's not say whether people believe it or not, this approach is not authentic.
Now I also want to stand up in this era, since I can't go back, why not go with the flow, not to mention that Xu Chanyi is very good, she is a very good woman who cares about her family.
Xu Chanyi felt that he had heard it wrong, he had never called the word wife since he got married, and his cheeks flushed when he thought of these two words, could it be that Bai Xiuran had really gotten better.
"The devil believes you." Xu Chanyi sobered herself up, and almost fell for Bai Xiuran, but her voice became a little shy. She firmly believes that Bai Xiuran's sweet words must have been learned somewhere to cheat her money.
Bai Xiuran walked a few steps, sat on the shabby sofa, was silent for a few breaths, stood up and said, "Yes, you may find it hard to believe, and I myself can hardly accept it." ”
"From now on, no one will dare to bully you, everything will be better with me, I will earn money, and I will let your mother and daughter live a happy life."
Bang bang bang---
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a kicking sound outside the door, accompanied by a middle-aged woman's scolding on the street.
"Xu Chanyi, you slut come out for me, if the old lady doesn't lend you money, you will seduce my Lao Zhang, right, the neighbors have come to see, this gambler's wife is a slut."
