(As usual, I ask for a wave. I have clicked on the comment for the favorite recommendation, and the comment area should also be favorited.)

After walking for two hours, the car came down the hill from the temple, entered Nanfen, turned a small turn downhill and arrived at the place where Zhang Xingming lived. Everyone got out of the car and took their things. The driver took out the covering cloth from the trunk, locked the car, and covered the three cars carefully, for fear of being scratched by a child. There is no place to touch up the paint these days .

At the beginning, the three drivers discussed taking turns watching the car, but Zhang Xingming stopped them. In this cold weather, rowing is better than people freezing, so they didn't agree.

The three drivers were very appreciative, and felt that the boss of Xianggang was really nice, since he was the one who drove Zhang Xingming and the others last night, blinking his eyes, licking his lips and gnashing his teeth, Zhang Xingming looked at it and smiled secretly, probably this guy can't run away Yes, I will definitely resign and run over in the beginning of the year.

Zhao San’s house is in this building on the side of the road, and Zhang Xingming’s backing is in it. In 87, the mineral processing plant built a building for the leaders, and the old Zhao’s family moved there. It’s not too far away. That's more than 200 mu of land.

Old Zhao and his second brother Zhang Xingming shook hands. Zhao San took the spoils from this trip, and the two went home directly. Zhang Xingming and his second brother led the three drivers back home.

As soon as they entered the room, the third sister of the family was playing checkers with her elder brother and younger brother. The third sister was arguing with the younger brother, and he was the only one who was busy.

The three brothers Zhang Xingming, the eldest is stable, the third is jumping, Zhang Xingming is in the middle, more stable than the third, and more jumping than the eldest, the three sisters of the old family, the eldest is cheerful but not very talkative outside, the second is quiet and less talkative, and the third is quiet It is as lively and jumping as the younger brother.

The second elder brother went home directly. Zhang Xingming asked the three drivers to sit casually, took cigarettes and water, and brought them over. The three hurriedly stood up to pick them up. It was a bit unbearable, so Zhang Xingming laughed: "My Xianggang man is bluffing." , I am a ten-year-old primary school student, this is my family, you are all much older than me, please don't be so alien, or how will we get along in the future?" The three sat down, but they still couldn't let go.

My mother heard the movement from that room, came over and took a look in from the door, and saw that Zhang Xingming had returned, so she came in and asked, "You just came back? How are things going? Where's the car?"

Zhang Xingming handed cigarettes to the three older drivers, and said, "It's about the same. I talked with Deputy Secretary Shen of our province yesterday. It is estimated that it will be successful. The car was brought back. If I can't get in, I will stop on the side of the road. These three The eldest brother is the driver of Fengtian City Government, and he lent it to our company for the time being, so why not let them help, he came here from Fengtian specially, otherwise we would not be able to go."

My mother expressed her gratitude to the three big drivers, and gave way to that room: "Really? Oh, this is troublesome for the three big brothers. The Chinese New Year's Eve ran all the way here, and the room is full of children. Yes, come, come up to this house."

The three drivers looked at each other, and the one who decided to quit moved first, stood up and waved his hands, and said, "Let's go, you're welcome." The three followed their mother to another room, and Zhang Xingming followed his mother with cigarettes and water. come over.

After Zhang Xingming’s family became rich, they only ate, dressed and changed from before. They didn’t do anything special in other places. Both parents were responsible, so the house was no different from ordinary workers’ houses. The difference is that the light bulbs are brighter, the color TV is bigger, the tape recorder is more expensive, the rice cooker is used for cooking, there is a washing machine and a refrigerator, that's all.

These days, most people use small 25-watt light bulbs, which are dim and yellow. If they are bigger, the electricity bill will be high. The TVs are all 86 inches, and radio cassette players are not yet popular, and rice cookers are basically not used by others. As for electricity, rice cookers did not become popular until 87 and [-].

There is a wooden bed in the room, which is stacked neatly on it, a large cabinet, one high and low, all made of wood, a sofa, a sewing machine, and a sewing machine with a It looks like my mother was sewing clothes just now.

There is a clock hanging on the wall, which was bought when we moved, and it was produced by Shanghai. At this time, every family has this kind of wall clock.

High, low, and high furniture are no longer seen. It was very popular at that time, and it was a must-have item for marriage. It was a three-door cabinet divided into three sections. One side was taller and the other was shorter. The door opened vertically, and the middle section was the shortest. Divided into upper and lower parts, the upper part is a glass built-in sliding door, the lower part is a downward-swinging horizontal door, the shortest part in the middle was originally a table clock, and later placed a TV, and the short side was the first It was for the radio, which was later replaced by a tape recorder.

The three drivers were stunned as soon as they entered the room. They stood there looking at the room. My mother walked to the bed and turned around to find the three of them standing there in a daze. She said, "What's wrong? Come in and sit down."

The three drivers looked at each other, walked into the room slowly and sat down on the sofa. This kind of old-fashioned sofa is covered with springs and covered with a thin layer of sponge. It makes a creaking sound when sitting on it. Ass.

There was no coffee table in the house, so I placed the kang table that I used before living in the bungalow on the ground as a coffee table. Zhang Xingming went into the room and put cigarettes and water on it, then went to Gaodigaoli to find an ashtray and set it up. He smiled and said : "My house is a bit messy, don't mind, you guys smoke, I'll bring in some fruit."

The three hurriedly waved their hands to say no, Zhang Xingming had already gone out, and the fruit was in the warehouse, so he had to go and get it.

At that time, each building built in the factory had two rows of warehouses under each building, one for each family, with a size of more than a dozen square meters. Just put them all in. Anyway, if you put them in and freeze them, they won’t go bad. Just take them out and heat them up when you eat them. It’s a big natural refrigerator.

At this time in winter, most families can’t afford to buy any fruit, and there is nowhere to buy it. There are not many apples and pears distributed in the factory.

The last time Zhang Xingming went to Xianggang to bring back some southern fruits, he wrapped them in quilts and put them in the warehouse. Usually, his parents don’t eat them very much, they just take them out when there are guests, or the brothers and sisters like to eat for nothing. indivual.

When it comes to fruit, I think of many interesting things at that time.

Fruits from the south, like lychees and mangoes, were brought to the Northeast around 90, and they were sold on a large scale in the Northeast in 91. A catty of lychees costs 40 yuan, and a mango costs 80 yuan. At that time, many people didn’t eat Dao Lychees and mangoes have to be peeled and pitted, which made a lot of jokes. Zhang Xingming’s father used to eat bananas without peeling the skins before he was young, but he threw them away because they were not tasty.

Zhang Xingming took mango, lychee, longan, apples and so on, took some of each, filled a large basin, washed it in the kitchen, brought it into the house, put it on the Kang table, and said, "Come and taste these southern fruits. It’s rare, but it tastes good, a bit sweet.”

(New friends, how are you? Have you bookmarked? Recommended? Commented? Bookmarked in the comment area? Did you find the reward button?)

Pick up the lychee and hand it over, the three of them took it and looked at it in their hands, and the one who wanted to quit asked, "What is this thing? How do you eat it?"

The driver next to him said: "This is lychee, and that is longan. They are both very sweet. Didn't I go out with the leader last time? I ate with the leader. Our reception also has them sometimes, especially for the leader. This thing has to be peeled to eat, not to be bitten, after peeling the skin, put it in your mouth and suck it slowly, there is a big core inside, the first time I ate it, my teeth broke out, and it hurt for a long time."

Hearing what he said was interesting, everyone laughed, and my mother sat in front of the sewing machine again and continued to fiddle with the father's clothes. After listening to it, she turned around and said, "It's not bad. My old Zhang broke down a little when I brought it back. It is said that this stuff in the south is fancy but not delicious. It has thick skin and big core and no meat. , the result is that there is not much meat, and there is a big core inside, the meat can't even be chewed on it, and it's stuck in the teeth, it's not delicious."

My mother pursed her lips and shook her head. She stepped hard, and the sewing machine started to rattle.

Zhang Xingming stuffed a longan into his mouth and asked, "What are the names of the three elder brothers? It's never too late to ask."

The one who wanted to quit said: "My surname is Mu, Mu Mu, Mu Youde, they all call me Dezi, this surname is Wang, Wang Haier, this is Li Sangui, the youngest of our three, just call him Sangui, we They are all veterans, Wang Hai and I belong to the old 38th Army, and Sangui is an artilleryman."

My mother smiled back and said: "It's a coincidence that my family used to live in a regiment, all of whom were veterans who were rebuilt from the 38th Army. My old Zhang used to be from the 38th Army, but later changed to the Railway Corps. When will you retire? of?"

Mu Youde said: "Oh, let's kiss now. I retired in 77, and Wang Hai retired in 79. When was your uncle?"

My mother tidied up her clothes and said, "Don't call me uncle, call me big brother. My old Zhang retired in 70 years, earlier than you. The cadres were transferred to the mineral processing plant. Oh, it's been more than ten years."

My mother stared at the wall for a few seconds, shook her head, folded the clothes in her hands and put them on the sewing machine and stood up: "Time flies, now I think of the time when I ran with the troops in the mountains and rivers, it's like the clothes in front of my eyes." It seems that the children are so big now."

Mu Youde said: "Then you and I..." Looking at Zhang Xingming, Zhang Xingming laughed and said, "Listen to me, let's talk about it."

Mu Youde also laughed, and said: "Then my eldest brother in your family is a cadre who changed his job. What kind of leader is he now?" Zhang Xingming almost spit out the longan in his mouth, coughed, and said, "What kind of leader is he? Just an ordinary worker, who does maintenance in the mineral processing plant, repairs vacuum machines, etc., he is very skilled at work, and those who don’t have to go to work during the Chinese New Year, so I don’t want to ask him for any good things.”

Mu Youde asked, "Really?"

My mother said: "There can still be fakes. My old Zhang has no education and is honest. He is just in front of the factory. He is still a small leader. He participates in everything in the factory and checks who joins the party or something. Check the household registration and investigate the history, and ran across the country. Later, when the factory grew bigger, young people went up, and Lao Zhang came down. Now I give a team leader, who is a worker. You can't be too honest and be angry. Look at my family, like a leader?"

Mu Youde said: "I was puzzled when I first entered the house. Your house is similar to mine, and you don't have as many things as mine. Isn't your house the big boss of Xianggang? Why are you still working as an ordinary worker in the factory?"

My mother just laughed, touched Zhang Xingming's head, and said: "My family is not a big boss, my son is a big boss, and Lao Zhang and I are still blessed with our son, and we will have a sacrifice in advance."

"Then, isn't that big deal your family's?"

My mother shook her head and said, "It doesn't belong to my family, it belongs to my son. My family still borrowed my son to open a small shop in the street to sell TVs. That happened only last year. I used to be poor. , children can’t afford to buy clothes, big ones and small ones, I raised a good son, he and his second brother became Xianggang people without making a fuss, and opened such a big business, this year [-] When I came back that day, he said that his father and I were shocked, but then again, it’s useless to have too much money, as long as we have food and drink.”

Reaching out his hand to wipe off the pulp on Zhang Xingming's mouth, Zhang Xingming bared his teeth at his mother, and was patted on the head by his mother.

Mu Youde, Wang Hai and Li Sangui were a little surprised. They looked at each other, and then looked at Zhang Xingming, their eyes changed a bit, a bit like looking at a goblin.

The elder brother looked in from outside the house door, took a few glances and came in, then asked Zhang Xingming in a low voice: "Er Ming, has our big car come back?"

Zhang Xingming handed the lychee to his brother, nodded and said, "Well, it's back, and it's parked outside."

The old brother was very happy, and asked while picking up the lychees: "Then can I sit?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Yes, but it's late today. Let's ride for a day tomorrow, okay?" The old man nodded, grabbed a handful of lychees and ran to the house, shouting as he ran, "I'll take a big bus tomorrow. Big car, flute, flute, flute~" Zhang Xingming looked at his brother's back and laughed, and said, "My brother is like a child."

Mu Youde and the three looked at each other, bowed their heads and said nothing, thinking that he is just a child, okay, you are not like a child, okay?

"Come and (guests)?" Dad walked in with a newly cut washboard, saw Mu Youde three sitting on the sofa, nodded with a smile, the three stood up and smiled back, Zhang Xingming said: "This is my dad. These three are Brother Mu, Brother Wang and Brother Li. They are here to help us drive. They will pick up my grandma in Pianling tomorrow."

Dad glared at Zhang Xingming: "It doesn't matter whether it's big or small, you call me brother, uncle." Mu Youde waved his hand: "Everything is different, it's good to call brother." The two nodded and agreed. combine.

Dad put down the washboard and walked outside the house, saying, "Whatever, I'll make the food, is there anything to avoid?"
