After building the house, day by day, when he was free, Fusheng was bored and panicked, so he wanted to go to the construction site to find work again. Although sometimes he felt that he could no longer keep up with the overseer, but since he had this thought, he lingered and often thought about it. Finally one day, when I came to the store, I told Xinlan my thoughts. Unexpectedly, he was blocked by Xinlan when he came up: "Forget it, you are fifty-six or seven this year, and you still want to do the work of climbing high and low, do you think it is possible?" Don't go, when you want to cook when you have nothing to do, you can help cook; If you don't want to do it, just go around and exercise! ”

"How can that work, then I won't be an idle eater?!" Fusheng objected.

"Why not? For so many years, you have served our mother and our father; Turn back to the old lady's house to build a house, and you run back and forth, which of these things can you do without it? Now it's time to rest, and I can still find fault with you?! ”

"Isn't that what I should be? Don't talk about that, I've been so idle, I'm not feeling well, how anxious!? Fusheng said.

"Forget it! If you can't do it, don't do it! It's better to have nothing to do than to be distracted. Xinlan made up her mind and didn't want to entangle with Fusheng.

Fusheng knew Xinlan's temper and knew that he would definitely not be able to change her, but he didn't want to rest all the time, seeing that Xinlan was busy with business, his heart moved, so he said: "Otherwise, I'm idle, so I'll help you." ”

"You, what can I say, there is a big palm here, I and the children are okay, you stand here, the tall and big figure, you can't turn around, the light is obvious to you."

Fusheng listened and said with a smile: "I thought it was too lonely to work alone, so I thought about accompanying you, so that you would not be anxious when you were idle!" Who knew you didn't need me! Fusheng didn't want to dwell on it.

Hearing him say this, Xinlan said again: "What's the matter with you!" You want to come as long as there is a place for you to put your feet! I'm not reluctant either. Xinlan couldn't stop talking to him, so she simply stopped forcing him.

It was as if the matter had been settled. But what Fusheng didn't expect was that the two daughters soon had a partner one after another, and they always went here when they got off work, and used this place as a contact station. As soon as a few children came, Fusheng was crowded to the ground and stood on the ground, Fusheng had no choice but to go out, and went to the garden to relax without going home to cook, and slowly after a while, I met a group of friends who kicked shuttlecocks in the park. There is a place for recreation, so it is not as diligent as before.

Life is just like this, and unconsciously, with the further deepening of reform and opening up, all aspects of the national economy and people's livelihood have also developed by leaps and bounds. The market-oriented economy has made the living standards of urban residents higher and higher. Naturally, when the tide rises, people also have higher pursuits in terms of spiritual life.

This was a great good thing, but what Xinlan didn't expect was that with the improvement of people's material life, television was quickly popularized, followed by the way people in the pursuit of spiritual life have also undergone earth-shaking changes, people no longer regard the cinema as the only leisure place to get spiritual food, but instead of watching TV at home, it is to flock to the street to watch videos, and dancing has become the main entertainment of handsome men and beautiful women, and the opportunity to think of the cinema is naturally very rare.

Because of this reason, Xinlan's business is gradually getting worse day by day. She knows that this is a fact that cannot be changed, and occasionally wants to lose the business, but she feels that her two families are not as good as others, although they have reached retirement age, but she and Fusheng are not workers, and there will be no retirement salary to support them in the future. If you don't do it now, you have no income, you can't get in and out, and you can use up the little pension money you have saved for many years, let alone the elderly, that is, the children come to you, and you don't even have the money to buy a candy bar for your children, it will be embarrassing. For this reason, she was very sad during the coming year, and since she couldn't lose the business she had worked hard for, she didn't make money like this, what should she do?

Xinlan told Fusheng about this from time to time, so Fusheng also helped to think about it, and the two thought about it, and really thought of a way. That is to expand the scope of business, change the melon seed stall into a fruit store, and shift the focus of the business to nearby households, so that the original business will not be affected, but also more income can be increased. But the fly in the ointment is that the store area is not large, far away from home, and then come back to the fruit house can not be placed, and it is impossible to store it in the open air, what should I do? Xinlan observed the past, and thought about connecting the store back a little. So, Xinlan went to Director Wang of the theater and put forward her own ideas. Director Wang took a look and saw that he didn't occupy the square and could increase the rent, so he didn't say more, but only proposed to build it with personal funding, free land for one year, and the extra area in the second year belonged to the theater, and the extra area began to be charged as rent. When Xinlan heard this, she went home and summed it up, and felt that she didn't suffer a loss, so she asked Lu Dong and Fusheng to find a way to get all the materials. The good thing is that Fusheng and Lu Dong are both hands-on, plus the objects of Xiaocun and Xiaohua are courteous, and they all come over to help, and within two days, this small room was picked up.

Subsequently, there were more varieties of business, and slowly, the business stabilized again.

In this way, day by day, it has been ninety-three years, and it has been more than ten years since the family moved back. Fusheng and Xinlan are both nearly sixty years old; Xiaocun and Xiaohua are not only married, but Xiaocun's boy has learned to go. At this time, the country's economic reform was further deepened, and factories and mining enterprises all over the country started to optimize their combinations. Because of physical reasons, Xiao Cun added a child, and was optimized to an auxiliary position to do chores, although the salary was lower during the period, but the time was more free. Xiao Cun felt that this was just the right way to take care of the child, so he didn't care; And because the place where he lives is close to his mother, he naturally runs to his mother when he has nothing to do, so that even his husband runs here quite diligently, so that when it is time to close the stall, he does most of the work of collecting the stall. At this point, Xinlan really got his strength, and occasionally talked to Fusheng about it, and when he compared the advantages and disadvantages of the two sons-in-law, he was naturally amazed by him.

Of course, Xiao Cun also knows about this. When she first talked about the partner, she discovered her husband Yang Depo's strengths. Although he is not outstanding, he is not ugly, medium height, long thin face, big eyes and small mouth, slender figure, thin but not dry; Talking is not hurried or impatient, and it is very homely. All these small deposits can be seen. The only thing is age, four years older than himself, which makes his parents not very satisfied; Fortunately, others are not only very diligent, but also have a job, although he said that the efficiency of his factory is not good, but he does not hide the flaws, let alone his own willing!? Xiao Cun understands that his situation cannot be compared with his sister, and he is afraid that he will lose his slope in the long dream, so he wants to marry him as soon as possible. It just so happened that Depo also felt that his age was not an advantage, and his thoughts coincided with Xiaocun's. Both of them thought like this, and they loved each other, so they told their parents what they thought. Fusheng and Xinlan had lessons from the past because they interfered in the matter of Lu Dong and Liu Qin, so they did not interfere arbitrarily.

It wasn't until the two got married that they slowly discovered that this son-in-law not only let Xiao Cun everywhere, but also worked hard, especially in housework, such as rolling noodles and making dumplings, so that the two had to say that this was Xiao Cun's blessing.

Of course, he is not the only one who has this view. For example, Li Xing, the big boss in the melon seed market, thinks the same as them. Li Xing has met Xinlan's two sons-in-law, and has met them many times during delivery. In Li Xing's impression, Li Bo, the object of Xiaohua, is dressed very exquisitely, with clean clothes and always bright leather shoes; On the slightly dark face, the ordinary-looking, not delicate facial features always seem to have a flush after drinking. But these are nothing in Li Xing's opinion, and what really impressed him was the gold ring on Li Bo's hand and the motorcycle he rode when he came. Li Xing didn't know what he did, but every time he delivered the goods, he would come to unload the goods immediately after seeing Fusheng or Depo, and he usually came to let him get a cigarette, and then talked with him and rarely got started. All of this made Li Xing very curious, and he couldn't help but inquire when Xinlan went to buy the goods, only to know that Li Bo followed his second brother to learn to do business after leaving his job without pay, running around all day long and rarely at home, whether he was rich or not, everyone didn't know, anyway, all the housework at home and the like were all Xiaohua's, for this reason, Li Xing had the view that Xiaohua is not blessed with Xiaohua.

Of course, this is just the opinion of others, and it can't influence Xiaohua's thoughts. In Xiaohua's eyes, Li Bo is well-informed, handsome, has ideas, and is a person who can handle it, and it is a blessing for herself to find such a husband, she loves Li Bo more than herself, so she is willing to pay for Li Bo, as for whether it is really blessed or falsely blessed, maybe only she understands it clearly.
