35. New Year's greetings
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Zhengping took Xiuye to his parents' grave, put on the tribute, and lit two waxes at one end.
"Dad, Mom, I'm paying New Year's greetings to your old man with Ye'er. Ye'er is now a high school student, and I also earn some money, now our family is eating and drinking spicy food, and life is prosperous, you can rest assured, don't worry about the two of us. Xiao Zhengping kowtowed three times, and pulled Xiuye over, "Ye'er, come, kowtow to Mom and Dad." ”
Xiuye pursed her lips and smiled at Xiao Zhengping, but she only kowtowed for the first time, and then lay on the ground and cried.
"Mom, I miss you~~ I miss you so much~~"
Listening to Xiuye's mournful cry, Xiao Zhengping's eyes were also red, a child without a mother is like a grass, in the past four years, Xiuye has been really bitter.
Xiao Zhengping didn't comfort Xiuye, let her vent her emotions, and didn't go over to help her until Xiuye stopped one by one.
......
The first month of the year is the New Year, and after the first day of the new year, New Year's greetings are inevitable.
Needless to say, the eldest uncle's second uncle's house, Chen Yanzhang Gouzi's house also has to go, and there are some relatives who are bent and round, but in addition to these people, Xiao Zhengping plans to expand the scope of New Year's greetings this year, the most important thing is several leaders in the team, such as Zou Shusheng, Hu Shanchuan and so on.
Although Xiao Zhengping did not make the matter of relying on bamboo shoots public, the three of them went in and out of the mountains all day long, and this matter had long become an open secret of the brigade.
Naturally, Uncle Xiao Kunguo knew about it early on.
During this time, Xiao Kunguo's attitude towards Xiao Zhengping was obviously cold, and when Xiao Zhengping came to pay New Year's greetings, he only said a few symbolic words.
Because Xiao Kunguo's Xiao Kunshui's house was next to each other, Xiao Zhengping gave the second uncle a New Year's greeting, and Xiao Kunshui called everyone to his house for a reunion dinner.
At the dinner table, Xiao Kunguo ignored the disappointment, and once again warned Xiao Zhengping not to think about it, so he honestly followed him to smoke, and said that even if he didn't do anything, there would always be a mouthful of food for him to eat.
The family sighed when they said this, and it could be seen that except for Xiuye, the whole family did not support Xiao Zhengping to continue to work.
Xiao Xiuye also wanted to defend his eldest brother, but was stopped by Xiao Zhengping, and Xiao Zhengping didn't want to make the whole family unhappy during the happy time of the family.
After eating, everyone else went to the stove room to chat over the fire, and Xiao Zhengping carried his cousin back to the bedroom.
put Xiao Zhengwen on the bed, and tidied up the futon for him, and Xiao Zhengping sat down at the head of the bed.
"Brother," he asked, "I haven't made baskets for a while, what's the matter, I don't want to do it?" ”
"It's boring." Xiao Zhengwen replied.
"Is it because of selling cigarettes?"
"Well, it's not either. Pingzi, this world is not lived by our poor people, we should be poor or poor, and we can't toss it well, if you go to the police station again, Ye'er should be killed by you. ”
"Hehe, brother, the deputy director of the county revolutionary committee called me, you should have heard about it, right? I also told you that I was able to get out of the police station because of the help of this deputy director. He told me everything, saying that as long as we touch the right policy, we will be fine, and he also encouraged me to do it! If you don't believe me, you should believe him, right? ”
"I, no one believes it now, I believe that I am a paralyzed person, and a paralyzed person has a paralyzed person's way of living. Pingzi, you have told me so much, you also listen to me, don't toss, our Xiao family can't stand the toss. ”
Xiao Zhengping has nothing to say, because Xiao Zhengwen is right, the Xiao family really can't stand the toss.
Now, Xiao Zhengping finally understands a truth - he can't let everyone have the same idea as himself!
Even if the policy is really liberalized in the future, the eldest uncle and the second uncle will not think of a place with him.
Also, no matter what you say, as long as you fail, no one will believe you anymore, people only believe what they see, no matter how good you understand the policy and how capable you are, no one will listen to you if you don't have any achievements.
Xiao Zhengping no longer insisted, returned to the stove room after a few words, and then chatted with the eldest and second uncle for a while and went home.
In the next few days, Xiao Zhengping took Xiuye around to pay New Year's greetings, and when he paid New Year's greetings, he never mentioned his "grand plan", and he nodded yes to whatever others said.
After a circle of worship, Xiao Xiuye found that his eldest brother had changed a little, and he didn't like to talk anymore.
After the New Year's visit in the team, Xiao Zhengping took Xiao Xiuye to the township again, and the two bought something at the supply and marketing cooperative, first went to He Yongfu's house.
He Qiaoyun still has a pair of eyes hanging in the sky, and he doesn't bother to look at Xiao Zhengping's brothers and sisters who came to pay New Year's greetings, but He Yongfu and his wife are very enthusiastic about Xiao Zhengping.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Zhengping learned from He Yongfu's mouth that He Qiaoyun also has a brother, and now in the army, in addition, He Yongfu's eldest nephew works in the county supply and marketing cooperative, and it is through the influence of this eldest nephew that He Qiaoyun can arrange the township supply and marketing cooperative, and He Yongfu also dares to receive mountain goods at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.
In fact, none of this information was asked by Xiao Zhengping, but He Yongfu took the initiative to say it, and at this time Xiao Zhengping didn't understand why He Yongfu told him this.
Seeing that He Yongfu said something similar, Xiao Zhengping said the purpose of his trip.
"Brother He~~ Hey, you see that I am called Shunzui, it stands to reason that I have to call you uncle. Uncle Yongfu, how is Boss Xia doing? ”
He Yongfu was stunned, "I haven't been here for several months, where do I know?" What did he do, you ask? ”
"I just want to say hello to him, but I don't have his contact information. Uncle, why don't you let him come recently? We're still a guest house, and I'll set up a table to entertain him. ”
"Haha, you kid, you want to talk to him about business, right? Let's talk about it, let's talk about it! ”
"Hehe, nothing can escape Uncle's eyes. Yes, didn't I bake a batch of bamboo shoots? I would like to invite him to come over and give him guidance. Uncle, don't worry, the goods will pass by you as usual. ”
"I said Pingzi, the last time you entered the police station, you forgot? Why did you get it up again so quickly? Aren't you afraid of being caught again? ”
"Hey, it's all old, why are you still mentioning it. Besides, I sold cigarettes, and this time I didn't sell cigarettes, and I asked them all, and there was no problem with dry mountain goods. ”
"Well, yes, the first time I saw you, I knew that you were a big man, and it was a good thing that I wasn't scared. Okay, I'll ask you after fifteen. ”
After finishing business, Xiao Zhengping planned to leave, He Yongfu and his family had to keep him for dinner, but Xiao Zhengping politely refused, the reason was that he had to go to Ma Wenfeng's house, saying that it had troubled others for half a year, so he had to go to pay a New Year's greeting.
He Yongfu nodded again and again, praising Xiao Zhengping for not only being bold, but also affectionate and righteous, and being a good guy.
After going out, Xiao Xiuye pulled Xiao Zhengping's sleeve, and when she saw He Yongfu who sent him out of the door, she retreated, so she whispered: "Brother, do I want to have a sister-in-law?" ”
Xiao Zhengping was stunned, "What sister-in-law?" What do you mean? ”
Xiao Xiuye burst out laughing, "You haven't seen it yet, people have taken a fancy to you and want you to be your son-in-law!" ”
Xiao Zhengping immediately stopped, and looked at Xiuye, "What do you say He Yongfu?" No way! How could he take a fancy to me? ”
"I don't know what he fell in love with you, but I know he wouldn't mention his relatives to you, an outsider, for no reason."
Xiao Zhengping listened to Xiuye's words and thought about it for a while, and immediately opened his mouth wide, "Really, I said that he always told me about his family, what does it matter to me!" Hey, no, I've told him about our family's situation, what do you want, his family is a room of public family, why do you think so highly of me? ”
Xiao Xiuye pursed her lips, "Why should you look down on it!" You have to look good, you have to have a good character, and you are smart and capable, people are in business, maybe you will definitely have a big future after you are seen! ”
Xiao Zhengping was noncommittal, took another step, and walked towards Ma Wenfeng's house with Xiuye in his heart.
