In the capital in the second half of the lunar month, the capital is covered in snow, and the cold wind like a knife shuttles through the streets and alleys.

The sky was overcast, snowflakes with goose feathers were falling from the sky, and pedestrians walking down the street were all wearing bloated heavy cotton jackets.

There are already a lot of red lanterns hanging on the green trees on both sides of the street, and a few firecrackers and children's laughter can be heard from time to time.

In one of the buildings in the family community of Shougang Plant, Xu's mother was busy in the kitchen with an apron on her hand, and the milky white fish soup in the casserole spit out a bubble from time to time.

Although Xu's mother moved slowly, everything was orderly, and the kitchen was filled with a strong fragrance, and it spread to the living room outside.

In the living room, Xu's father was sitting on the sofa, and the radio next to him was playing opera, and he squinted and listened to it as if he was fascinated.

The fragrance that came made him sniffle, and he thought that the old woman's craftsmanship was getting better and better.

"Knock knock!"

The sound of knocking on the door sounded, and Mother Xu walked out with a spatula, looked at the indifferent Father Xu, and shouted: "Fugui and his father, you didn't hear someone knocking on the door, put your thing quietly." ”

Father Xu heard someone knock on the door, turned down the sound of the radio, and muttered while getting up on crutches: "Who is this, I remember that Jiazhen brought the key when she went out." ”

Opening the door and looking at the tall figure in front of him, he shouted in surprise: "Fugui!?" ”

Xu Fugui was wearing an army green coat, a cadre hat on his head, and two large boxes in his hands, grinning, "Dad, did you miss me?" ”

Father Xu pursed his lips and was about to say something, but Mother Xu, who was holding a spatula, squeezed over from behind, "Fugui is back, ouch, you are not a worrying thing, you say that you are on a business trip, and you will not come back for two months, you have to worry about the death of your mother." ”

"I thought you could see you every day after you worked, what kind of work has to be delayed for so long, your leaders are too, not considerate, not your own son is not distressed."

"Let my mother take a good look, I've lost weight, I don't seem to be sleeping, it's a cold day, come in, the house is heated, it's hot."

Mother Xu nagged for a while, and Xu Fugui was pulled in without even having a chance to speak.

Xu Fugui put down two big boxes, took off the general's coat, revealing the straight tunics inside, and said with a smile: "Mother, I didn't miss you, so I hurriedly came back, and the leader said to leave me for a meeting, so I pushed it without thinking about it." ”

Xu Mu sighed, looking hesitant, "Then you won't offend your leader?" Or is work important, why don't you go and finish the meeting first and come back? ”

Xu Fugui sat on the sofa with his buttocks, took the peach cake on the table and ate it, "Mother, what you cook and eat is so fragrant, I'm almost starving to death." ”

When Mother Xu heard this, all other things were left behind, and her baby son must not be hungry.

While Xu Fugui was eating peach cake, he turned the radio into a channel, and a female announcer's voice jumped out, talking about the news of Xintu.

He didn't tell Xu's mother that he had already arrived in the capital five days ago, but he never had time to come back, accompany the leaders to check the materials and equipment, and then participate in various large and small meetings.

After learning that these materials and equipment were fine, the eyes of these leaders who looked at him were suddenly very hot.

Of course, they also wanted to ask him how he was transported back from abroad, but with Chen Zhen present, others didn't dare to ask more, Chen Zhen also wanted to know, and was sent over by him, and Chen Zhen didn't care with a smile.

The next thing has nothing to do with him, the technology and equipment are available, with their capabilities, it is estimated that pig farms will soon be able to rise from the ground, and the great dream of pork freedom can take a big step forward.

And he, after packing up his things, immediately returned in a jeep.

That's right, although he didn't apply, but he was already equipped with a jeep and a special driver.

Xu Fugui filled his stomach a little and pricked up his ears to listen to the news coming from the radio.

"After studying and deciding, in 1953 we will formally implement the planned economic system, learn from Mao Xiong, the specific details are still being discussed, the day has come when the people will be the masters of the country, and the gap between the rich and the poor will be completely eliminated."

Xu Fugui listened attentively, but he did not expect that he would not be on the mainland for two months, and that the policy had already undergone such a big change, and the rumors of the planned economy had already begun to be revealed, and it would be formally implemented next year.

The whole society will usher in great changes, and the lives of most people will be fixed.

As for closing the gap between the rich and the poor? It's impossible to do this, and even if it does, he doesn't want to, he's not a poor man now, and he's living a good life.

Thinking about these things in his heart, Yu Guang suddenly glanced at Father Xu on the side and looked at him quietly.

Xu Fugui looked at him directly, "Dad, what are you looking at me for, could it be that I have flowers on my face?" ”

Father Xu asked, "Where have you been fooling around in the past two months?" ”

"Mission secrecy."

After speaking, he opened the leather box he brought back and took out a watch of the same style that he gave to Chen Liping, "Na, a gift for your old man." ”

"What more gifts do I need at my age, it's a waste of money." Although he said that, Father Xu still couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth and took the watch.

Xu Fugui took out another women's watch, ran to the kitchen and put it on for Xu's mother, and put the two old men happily together.

This time, Xu Fugui's gifts to his family were all watches, after all, he came back from a foreign shopping mall, and he didn't spend a penny, these watches are all good things, and they can't be bought in the mainland.

"By the way, what about Jiazhen and the child?" Xu Fugui took out a piece of braised pork ribs from the pot and asked while nibbling on it.

"Oh, Feng Xia and Youqing are going to go ice skating, Jiazhen is going with them, calculate the time, it's almost time to come back."

As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of the key turning, and the next second the door opened, and Fengxia Youqing, who was wearing a big red cotton jacket, rushed straight in.

After seeing Xu Fugui, he was stunned for a moment and rubbed his eyes vigorously.

Xu Fugui grinned, but the two children immediately rushed over and shouted loudly for their father.

Fortunately, Xu Fugui had a lot of strength, and the two of them hugged together, and then looked at the smiling Jiazhen, and couldn't find the north with joy.

Feng Xia and Youqing came over happily, looked at his face, pouted, and said in unison: "Dad is a big liar. ”

"Why is Dad a big liar?"

"Dad said he would come back in a few days from a business trip, but we didn't come back after the holiday"
