Seventy Couple’s Daily Routine

Chen Wenfang left Zong's house on the front foot, and Officer Wu of the Military Dependents' Resettlement Office arrived at Zhou's house,

At that time, Deng Xiangyun was sitting in the back door and taking the soles of her shoes. The three children were playing in the backyard. She could watch it while sitting here. It was not until she heard someone call her that she put down her work and hurried to the front door.

After going out, seeing the people standing outside the yard, Deng Xiangyun was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, and went up to ask, "Why did you come here today, Mr. Wu?"

"I'm here today to send you a job." Officer Wu said with a smile on his face.

"Work?" Deng Xiangyun was really shocked now, "What kind of work?"

"Don't worry, I have arranged a good job for you this time." Seeing Deng Xiangyun's uneasy expression, Director Wu reassured him, "Isn't this Comrade Hu from the hospital pharmacy who is going to come home after changing jobs? Director Chen is eager to ask for someone. When we arrived at our military relocation office, Director Luo thought of you. This job, every day from 8 to 6, there is a break at noon, and the hospital also manages meals. Look, it is a good job that you can't find with a lantern, right? "

Of course, Deng Xiangyun can tell that the job is good, but this job is too good, but it makes her feel uneasy, and whispered: "The job is a good job, it is... such a good job, how could it suddenly fall on my head? "

If it was someone else who asked this question, Director Wu would probably think that people asked too much, but Deng Xiangyun asked this question very well, and she understood it very well.

After marrying Zhou Jianhai, Deng Xiangyun went through the military formalities. As soon as his hukou was registered, he went to the Military Relocation Office to register and look for a job.

But who is she? She came from a black five-category family. If Zhou Jianhai hadn't ruined his future and married her, she would have to live in the cowshed.

Coming from such a family, even if Deng Xiangyun is lucky enough to marry a soldier, she is different from other military wives in this family district.

Therefore, although she has a technical secondary school education and can write and calculate, but the better vacancies in the units around the base are not for her.

Deng Xiangyun didn't even think about the job of raising chickens and killing fish that Gao Xiulian hated so much. What she arranged for her was to sweep the streets or the toilets. Director Luo said that only by doing the hardest work can she enter the working people and become a new person.

Deng Xiangyun really went to sweep the toilet, but then he quit his job because he was pregnant and vomited so badly.

At that time, Director Luo was very dissatisfied, thinking that Deng Xiangyun had a problem with his thinking and could not stand the test.

As a result, when Zhou Jianhai knew about this, he complained to the army angrily, saying that Director Luo used his work to form gangs, and that those who obeyed me prospered and those who opposed me perished.

He also said that although his daughter-in-law was from a bad background, she had absolutely no problem thinking, otherwise she would not be able to clean the toilet for two years. She did not continue to clean the toilet, mainly because of objective factors such as his parents died early and the child was not taken with him, rather than her subjective unwillingness to continue working.

It has to be said that Deng Xiangyun's cleaning of the toilet in those two years was still useful, otherwise even if Zhou Jianhai gave up his future for her, she would not be able to resist others' labeling her like that.

But Deng Xiangyun's background made her always a dwarf, so the troops finally played fifty big boards each, let Director Luo be cautious in words and deeds, and let Zhou Jianhai not be impatient, and the two finally reached a reconciliation.

The reconciliation is of course on the bright side. Anyway, after that, Director Luo treated Deng Xiangyun as a transparent person and never arranged a job for her again.

It's no wonder that Deng Xiangyun can't believe that such a good job is hitting his head.

Don't say that Deng Xiangyun couldn't believe it, Wu Jian was stunned when he heard about this. At that moment, her brain circuit was right with Chen Wenfang.

Their director hated Zong Shao so much. In order to prevent his daughter-in-law from going to work in the hospital, he even let go of his grievances with Zhou Jianhai.

Therefore, Mr. Wu knew his goal before he came, that is to let Deng Xiangyun accept the job.

At the same time, Secretary Wu knew very well that it would not be okay for Deng Xiangyun to accept this job with a rigid attitude or to praise her so much. The more people who have experienced changes, the more careful they live. If you praise her so much, she will feel more afraid of taking the job if you want to cheat her.

So, Officer Wu began to sell miserably: "Originally, this job really doesn't fall on your head, but Director Chen's requirements are high, and he must have a junior high school degree or above. You know the situation of these military wives who are temporarily unemployed in our family area. , it's incredible if you have been to junior high school. What about graduating from junior high school? Apart from you, I really can't find a second person who can meet the requirements. But Director Chen is the one who refuses to let me in at all, and said that if there is no family home If there is a suitable candidate, she will call the county high and ask them to introduce someone."

Speaking of this, Director Wu clapped his hands: "Director Luo is anxious when he hears it. If there is one thing, there are two. If Director Chen crosses our department this time and successfully recruits county high school students, you will not be allowed by other units in the future. If there is something to follow, then will these military wives in our compound still work in the future? It’s all a question!”

"Director Luo is worried, we, those of us who are subordinates, have to find a way. It happens that I have the list of all the military wives in the family area. I flipped it back and forth twice, and I saw you." Secretary Wu unceremoniously gave the credit. Holding it on his head, he continued, "Originally, our director was reluctant to arrange such a good job for you, but Director Chen was in a hurry and she had no choice, so she agreed."

If Director Wu said this was brought up by Director Luo, Deng Xiangyun might also be worried about the problem and refuse the job. But Officer Wu took the credit for himself, and said that Director Luo had no choice but to agree, but Deng Xiangyun hesitated instead: "Director Chen..."

"Director Chen, you don't have to worry, she just wanted to find someone with a high level of education and careful work. I heard that you worked as an accountant before joining the army, and she was very satisfied. She said that the accountant did a good job and would definitely work. Be careful." Officer Wu said with a smile, "As long as you nod your head here, this will be done, and you can go directly to the hospital next Monday to report."

Wu Gan didn't see Deng Xiangyun's voice after speaking, and asked patiently, "Comrade Deng Xiangyun, if you don't speak, do you have any concerns?"

Deng Xiangyun was embarrassed and said: "There is one thing, you also know that my little stone is still young... I stayed at home to take care of him before."

"More than three years old, not too young." Having said that, Director Wu still gave Deng Xiangyun an idea: "If you are worried that he is at home alone, ask your neighbors to see if anyone is willing to help you take care of the child. Many working military wives in the family area do this. If you are worried, you can take your child to the unit, but there are preconditions, and you cannot let your child disturb your work. "

Deng Xiangyun pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Wu, can I consider this matter again?" She was still a little undecided.

But Secretary Wu came with a mission on his back, so how could she continue to think about it, and quickly said: "It's not that I don't give you time to think about it, it's really Director Chen's urgency, and it must be decided today, otherwise she will contact the county. On the high side. Think about it, there are so many graduates from the county high school every year, but there are only a few state-owned factories in our county. Director Chen is willing to recruit county high school students. What's the matter with you!"

Deng Xiangyun licked his lips and said, "I..."

But she was interrupted by Officer Wu before she finished speaking: "If you don't want to go to work in the future, then I won't say much, but if you still want to go to work in your heart, listen to my advice and agree. This opportunity is really rare, and if you miss this one, it will be difficult for you to work again in the future.”

This is Director Wu's sincerity. If Director Chen recruited the county high school students because Deng Xiangyun refused to nod, or if the job still falls on Lin Wei's head, you don't have to expect Luo Shuzhi to arrange work for her in the future.

Although Deng Xiangyun didn't know about Lin Wei, she thought of the former, so she knew that this was her only chance.

Accept or reject?

Don't hesitate any more, Deng Xiangyun said firmly: "I want to go to work in the hospital pharmacy."

…

When Deng Xiangyun made the decision, Lin Wei had just washed the enamel cup that Director Chen had drank. She put it on the drawer in the living room and went back to the room upstairs.

After entering the house, Lin Wei did not lie down on her head in despair, but looked through the closet to find the diary and pen she brought from her hometown, and turned to the last page to start writing.

The content is nothing else, it's all the text related to her in the original work.

In the novel, not long after Lin Wei's death, Zong Shao returned to Shicheng because he had no children to take with him, and joined a small state-owned factory as the deputy director.

He has strong ability, and he was promoted from deputy director to director within a few years. The small state-owned factory at the beginning has gradually grown and has become an industry leader in the Lake Province region.

But problems also followed. Zong Shao was bold and ambitious, and wanted to continue to expand, but the leaders above were conservative, always worried that his actions would be too big and would affect the factory, so the contradictions became more and more serious.

In the mid-1980s, Zong Shao chose to jump out of the state-owned factory and go south to the Shenzhen market to start a business.

It was also there that Zong Shao met the hero and heroine.

In fact, he first met the male protagonist. At that time, the male protagonist had just come out of the army and was preparing to start a business. The two met by chance, and because of similar temperaments, they started to do business together.

As a result, once the male protagonist invited Zong Shao to dinner at home, the female protagonist lost her temper when she saw Zong Shao.

At the same time, the cooperative relationship between the male protagonist and Zong Shao is also in jeopardy.

Fortunately, the male and female protagonists still talked about it in the end, and the male protagonist and Zong Shao also continued to cooperate, so Zong Shao's role in the later stage of the novel was quite heavy. And after Zong Shao's career was stable, he took Mingming Ruirui to the Shenzhen market, so the two brothers also played a lot.

Therefore, although Lin Wei does not even make a formal appearance in the novel, she is mentioned only a lot more times.

But many of these are invalid information from the old shígG dujia. After Zong Shao's career is successful, people who want to match him come one after another. Whenever they were rejected, someone would mention Lin Wei and lament her luck and misfortune.

And what Lin Wei has to do is to piece together the final timeline of her life in the novel from the fragmentary words in the original novel.

This matter sounds complicated, but it is not difficult for Lin Wei.

She has a good memory. Although almost a week has passed, she still remembers the plot of the original book clearly.

And as early as when she woke up from the dream, Lin Wei recalled it in her mind. It was just that there were many people on the train. She was afraid that after writing it down in the diary, the book would be lost and she didn't start writing.

Therefore, Lin Wei wrote quickly after opening the diary.

But that was just the beginning. Lin Wei's writing speed gradually slowed down when she got to the third side, and she didn't start writing until she thought about it for a long time on the fourth side.

By the end, she couldn't think of any new details. She put down the pen after stopping for half an hour, opened the diary to start a new look, and then organized the event timeline according to the content.

The job is relatively easy, as the events listed here are full of past events. Lin Wei was a witness to these things, and she could tell the time at a glance, and there were only six or seven other things that happened on the island.

The problem is that when Lin Wei made the time line clear, she found that although she could be sure that she died in a typhoon next summer, the specific time and events were still blank.

Without a specific time and event, it is as difficult for her to change her destiny as she wants to.

Lin Wei could only put down the pen and continue to think about it, but before she could think of a reason, she heard a clear voice from downstairs. She quickly put away the notebook and stuffed it into the deepest part of the closet. Then she walked to the dresser and patted her cheeks. He got up and went downstairs and asked, "What's wrong?"

Instead, Mingming was surprised and asked, "It's time for lunch, did you just wake up, mom?"

Lin Wei hurriedly raised her hand and glanced at her watch, and found that it was half past eleven. She rubbed her face and said, "Are you hungry? Mom is going to cook now?"

Mingming shook his head and said, "I'm not very hungry, but Xiao Shishi's house has dinner, and his mother said that we should eat at his house, but Rarity said that mother, you said, that we are not allowed to eat at other people's houses, so we are coming back! "

After he finished speaking, he blinked and looked at Lin Wei, asking for praise from head to toe.

Rarity felt out of sight, covered her face and moved silently to the side.

Lin Wei couldn't help but laugh: "You guys are so good today, would you like to reward each one with a banana?"

Mingming's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay!"

Rarity didn't feel embarrassed anymore, and moved back to stand side by side with her brother, looking at her mother expectantly.

Lin Wei gave each of the two children a banana and went to the kitchen to make lunch.

Lunch was relatively simple, Lin Wei cooked a pot of vegetable soup, fried a plate of shredded potatoes, and then mixed a plate of seaweed.

Seaweed is also bought at the seafood supply station, but probably because it is vegetarian, there is no need for a ticket to buy it, and the price is quite cheap, you can buy a lot for a penny.

But when Lin Wei saw this for the first time, she didn't know whether it was delicious or not, so she didn't make any more and only mixed half a plate. But after mixing it, she tasted it, and it tasted alright, crunchy, and it made people want to take another bite after one bite.

The two brothers also liked it very much. They clearly liked to make a fool of themselves. They deliberately bit hard when eating, so that the sound of the seaweed being bitten off sounded more crisp.

Rarity was more for the benefit, holding out a long spoon and a roll was half of it, and when he realized that, most of the seaweed was in his bowl.

So the brothers started to grab food.

The meal was like a war, and the brothers didn't calm down until Lin Wei slapped the table.

…

After dinner, Lin Wei took the two children upstairs to take a nap.

Rui Rui felt a lot, fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while, but obviously couldn't fall asleep. After lying on the master bed for a while, the running guest lay on his own bed, running back in two minutes, and so on.

Lin Wei put her hands behind her head and closed her eyes to continue recalling the details in the original work.

In the original book, Zong Shaoye did not shy away from mentioning her, but rarely mentioned her death. In the heroine's words, her death was the pain in their hearts.

The male and female protagonists are smart people who don't deliberately poke their wounds, so I didn't ask. The heroine later met someone she knew on Yazhou Island, but when others chatted with her, they would deliberately avoid topics related to Zong Shao, thinking that she had not let go.

Of course, the hostess wouldn't take the initiative to ask, for fear of overturning the vinegar jar at home. Although their husband and wife have maintained a good relationship with Zong Shao, she has always kept a distance from Zong Shao.

This also led to Lin Wei's death being a mystery in the original book.

But the time is not without any clues. Lin Wei remembered something while eating.

In the original novel, the male protagonist once had dinner with the company's executives. Someone didn't see Zong Shao asking casually, and the male protagonist said that he had something to do at home and could not come.

Then an old employee said that it seems that Zong Shao's family has something to do on this day every year and can't come to the company. Then someone joked and asked him how he remembered so clearly. The old employee replied: "My wife's Army Day birthday is celebrated every year for her. On your birthday, when you come to work, you can hear about Mr. Zong's leave, do you think I remember it clearly?"

"Mom, are you asleep?"

Lin Wei heard Mingming's voice ringing in her ears, opened her eyes and looked over: "What's wrong?"

Mingming asked softly, "Can I eat mango?"

"Want to eat mango?"

The little guy nodded like pounding garlic: "Well, I only took a small bite yesterday. Dad ate that much alone!" He opened his hands and compared them.

Lin Wei: "...One mango is the size of a palm, how could your father eat so much."

"I'm exaggerating to show that the size of the mangoes my father and I eat are very different," Mingming sighed heavily after speaking, "Mom, why don't you even understand this?"

Lin Wei was delighted: "You still know how to exaggerate? Who told you?"

"What my uncle said, my aunt didn't let him smoke, so he just lay in bed and said it was very uncomfortable, he was going to die, my aunt softened and let him smoke, then my uncle was fine, and then my aunt got angry and said that my uncle lied Man, my uncle said he wasn't a liar, this is an exaggeration, it would be very, very uncomfortable to use it to show that he can't smoke!"

Listening to the fallacy and heresy that Mingming relayed, Lin Wei's mouth twitched slightly, "How did you know about this?"

"I saw it secretly," Mingming stood up from the ground, leaned into Lin Wei's ear and said, "I also saw my uncle stealing my aunt."

Lin Wei: "...!!"

She hurriedly looked at her eldest son and asked with a serious expression, "Did you see anything else?"

"What?" Mingming asked suspiciously.

Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm not allowed to learn from your second uncle in the future?"

Obviously puzzled: "Why?"

"Because your second uncle did something wrong. First of all, smoking is very bad. Too many lungs will turn black..."

Mingming interrupted and asked, "What is the lung?"

Lin Wei pressed Mingming's chest and said, "The lung is what is inside your body. If it is red, you can breathe. If it turns black, you will die."

In fact, he couldn't understand death at this age, but when he thought of things in his body turning black, he quickly said, "I don't smoke, I don't want to turn black!"

Lin Wei snorted and continued: "Also, although my uncle argues that he is exaggerating, but in fact he is deceiving people and taking advantage of his relatives' concern for him to achieve his goals, this is not good, if you are used to it, when It will be heartbreaking for a loved one to find out that they have been deceived."

Mingming lowered his head to think, and raised his head cautiously after a long time: "Mom, did I lie to you just now?"

The brothers look smart, but three or four-year-olds have no idea of ​​right and wrong, they all see what they see and learn, so they obviously don't know that the second uncle's behavior is wrong, and they don't know if they are lying.

Therefore, after hearing what Lin Wei said, the little guy became worried.

Lin Wei stroked his soft hair and said softly, "You haven't deceived people just now, it's just a little exaggerated, but if you say that Dad ate all the mangoes yesterday and you didn't eat them at all, it's called a liar. already."

Mingming said by inference: "That uncle is not uncomfortable, but when he said he was very uncomfortable, he was lying, right?"

Lin Wei nodded and added, "You're not deceiving people, but you're not completely right. We must be realistic when we speak. One is one, and the other is two. It is wrong to say one is exaggerated as two, and make two smaller. It's not right to say one."

Hearing it in the fog, he asked uncertainly, "Is it right to say one as one and two as two?"

Lin Wei nodded again: "That's right."

Although he was recognized, his head was still dizzy, and he was lost in thought. And thinking about it, he began to feel sleepy, yawned and rolled over into his mother's arms, completely forgetting about eating mangoes.

But that day Mingming still ate the mango he was thinking about. After he woke up, Lin Wei washed it and cut it in half and gave it to him and Rarity.

The mangoes bought from the supply and marketing cooperatives are fully ripe. When you swallow them with your tongue, the pulp will dissolve, and the sweet juice will flow down your mouth and into your throat, as if sweetness entered your heart.

Eating mangoes, Lin Wei continued to think about what was clearly interrupted.

After thinking about that incident, Lin Wei's memories were no longer limited to Zong Shaoye three, and began to recall the details of the life of the hostess' family.

Because they do business in partnership, the two have a good relationship, so Mingming Ruirui and the children of the male and female protagonists know each other. Later, they moved to the same villa area, and the two communicated more frequently.

Thinking about it, Lin Wei remembered something that happened on the second day of the Army Day.

This incident was probably because Luo Yun's daughter came back from the outside and met Zong Shao and his son on the way. Seeing that they were wearing formal clothes, she felt strange and asked the brothers a few more questions, but the two brothers had a cold attitude, which made her feel a little wronged I said in front of my mother that I would never play with them again. After Luo Yun heard it, he said that they had business to do, and told her not to make trouble unreasonably.

But what is the old shígG Dujia thing, Luo Yun didn't say it clearly, and Lin Wei didn't think there was anything special about this date, so he didn't think it was anything.

But after recalling the conversation between the male protagonist and the company colleagues, Lin Wei felt that this incident was unusual.

Lin Wei felt that her death day in the novel might be this day.

Therefore, on this day every year, Zong Shao would ask for leave, and only the three of them would go out in formal attire, and the main thing they had to do was probably to sweep the grave.

Lin Wei didn't know how others would feel when they found out the date of death, but after she confirmed the date, she calmed down completely.

Since it has been determined that the death is not long, it is better to know the time of death in advance than blindly waiting for death.

At the very least, she has a better chance of surviving.

If Lin Wei could still think calmly when she was on the boat, if struggling was useless, how would she spend the next time. So now, there is only one thought left in Lin Wei's mind—

She will not only spend the rest of the year with Zong Shao and the children, but also spend the next ten years and decades with them.

She must live!
