My 1979

"It's really boring to talk about this. The best thing about your husband and me is money. Don't you know what our family background is?"

With so much cash at home, He Fang still had so many ideas, and Li He no longer knew what to say.

He hoped that his wife would change her stingy style.

Children are the most lethargic. Li Lan could not sleep on He Fang's shoulder. Li He urged, "Go home and put him on the bed."

"He sleeps well, don't coax him." After returning home, Li He opened the door, and He Fang took the child directly to their bedroom, "You lift the quilt a little."

After the child was settled, he held her in his arms.

Li He was so drunk that he became confused.

"Daughter-in-law, tell me a story." He said coquettishly like a child, "A bedtime story."

".I think you'd better not sleep."

He Fang got out of bed and started to get dressed.

Li He asked in a daze, "What are you doing?"

"There are classes in the afternoon. I'll go back to school." He Fang said while putting on her shoes. "If my son wakes up, you can coax him first and he'll be fine when his grandma comes back."

Li He said, "Please take a leave. I will take you and your children back to your hometown tomorrow to visit."

He really misses home. He hasn't even heard my mother's voice in the past two years. He usually doesn't feel it when he is busy, but once he calms down, he still can't help missing her.

He Fang said, "Last year, my fourth child and I took our son back together. You can go back alone."

"Last year was last year, and this year is this year." Li He disagreed with He Fang's attitude.

He Fang said gently, "I can't ask for leave anymore. Please be considerate. You said I am a leader. Do I have to set an example and follow others' example? If I ask for leave at will, what will happen?"

"Then I'll take the child back." Li He could only obey.

"Can he want you? Forget it, you can't coax him, don't get yourself into trouble." He Fang said with a smile, "At the end of the year, we will all go back to celebrate the New Year this year, and we will take the children with us."

"How do you know I can't take it without trying?" Li He asked unconvinced.

"Even if the child wants to follow you, I won't worry. You need to take good care of yourself first. I won't worry if you lose yourself every day." He Fang took a wet towel and wiped his face, " Get some sleep, otherwise you won’t be able to sleep when your son wakes up later. Oh, by the way, I want to send him to the kindergarten in Mianmian Hutong."

"If you don't go to the nearby Xuanwu Kindergarten, why go so far?"

Mianmian Hutong is a long way away from Huguo Temple in Xicheng.

He Fang said matter-of-factly, "The conditions over there are better than here. First-class kindergartens, of course they have to be sent there. Don't you know that many people have to be sent there because of the trust relationship? Now it is bilingual teaching, so you can learn from childhood." It will be good for him to learn English and start early."

"It's up to you." Li He had no choice. When it came to choosing a school, all mothers in the world had the same IQ. He continued, "If it doesn't work out, we can just move there. We'll get a share of the demolition there. The house, bathroom and bathing conditions are better than here."

"No, I can pick up after get off work from now on. You don't have to worry about it." She loved this place. The entrance to the alley was so narrow and unnoticed that it made her feel safe.

The family living in an alley here made her feel warm again. The large locust tree at the door allows children to play safely, with less noise and less traffic.

What's more, such a big house is bright and comfortable to live in. It's inconvenient to live in a tube building.

He Fang looked at the time and said, "I can't make it in time, that's it."

He Fang left, and Li He fell asleep with his head covered.

Li Lan woke up. As soon as he woke up, he started crying until his voice became hoarse. When no one responded, he climbed out of bed and opened the door.

With a runny nose and looking at Li He sleeping soundly on the bed, he began to cry louder.

Li He was finally shocked, rubbed his eyes and said, "You are crying like a bear."

Turn over and go back to sleep.

"I'm awake!" Li Lan shouted to his father.

"I know, let me sleep for a while, I'm exhausted."

"I want my mother!" Li Lan cried louder.

Li He sat up from the bed irritably, rubbed his eyes, got out of bed, slipped Li Lan to the pool, and wiped Li Lan's face.

"Don't cry, daddy will take you to play."

"I want my mother!" Li Lan said over and over again.

Li He raised his hand and said, "Don't cry. I'll beat you up if I ask you to. Your brother and sister have done it before"

He spoke more and more quietly, and suddenly he couldn't hold his breath. He plunged his head into the pool to clear his head.

Li Lan looked at his words and expressions, and saw that his father's face was not good, and he was squealing. He stopped crying.

"Let's go, let's take you out for a fight." Li He was afraid of really scaring the child, so he picked up his son and kissed him regardless of his resistance.

Li Lan wanted to cry but didn't dare.

His mother and grandma were both not here, so he knew enough not to worry about his bad luck.

When Li He carried him through the yard, he took a special look at the flowers in the yard. Begonias and hostas were all in bloom.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, he didn't want to move anymore and put Li Lan down. The two of them sat on one side of the door, like two gatekeepers.

People passing by said hello to Li He from time to time, and Li He responded with a cigarette.

After living here for so many years, there are new people who have moved here, and people who have moved away. There are many people coming and going. There must be people he doesn't know, but there is definitely no one who doesn't know him.

Many years ago, there was a legend circulating in Sanmiao Street: Don’t cause trouble here, don’t make trouble here. There was once someone who didn’t believe in evil and wanted to challenge the rules here. He did nothing else but shouted in the alley with a beer. He yelled, but he learned a lesson the next day. Not only did he not mention his good work, he also received a beating for no reason.

He was still unconvinced. How could a person have no backbone?

It’s not a big deal if you lose your bad job, but why don’t you go to work and become a bad guy?

As a result, I ran into obstacles everywhere and couldn't find a place to purchase goods even though I had cash.

Finally, after receiving advice from an expert, I had no choice but to move away from Sanmiao Street.

Only then did things go smoothly.

Chang Jing started to greet her from a distance away, "I'm back. This trip won't be short."

"There are a lot of things outside, and it's been a lot of delays." Li He still didn't dare to look at her head-on. The ripe apples were always so bright and dazzling.

Chang Jing teased Li Lan, who was pouting, "Where's mom."

"Mom is at work." Li Lan replied loudly, glancing at his father from time to time.

Chang Jing asked, "Where is grandma?"

Li Lan still shook his head, "Not at home!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs, as if he was holding great resentment.

Li He frowned and said, "Who taught you to talk like this? Speak well."

Li Lan looked away and ignored him.
