Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

Yang Maixiang's parents invited Wang Weidong to their home in the evening.

When a young son-in-law visits your home for the first time, he always brings something good.

So after Wang Weidong came back from Liujiagou, he took Yang Maixiang to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The commodities in the supply and marketing cooperatives of this era are much more than those of the supply and marketing cooperatives in the first week.

Although Ningzhou City is only a small city, you can see valuable commodities such as Maotai liquor on the shelves.

Seeing Wang Weidong buying two bottles of Maotai liquor and two large front doors in one go, Yang Maixiang felt heartbroken. She pulled his sleeves and whispered: "Brother Hong Chang, these things are too expensive. Let's buy cheaper ones."

Ha, this little cotton-padded jacket is exposed.

Wang Weidong said with a smile: "When you visit the house for the first time, you must buy something good, so that your father-in-law can turn off the fire."

After saying that, he asked the waiter to weigh two kilograms of golden monkey toffee.

Although Yang Maixiang felt sorry for money, her heart was filled with happiness when she saw Wang Weidong was so willing to give up.

What woman doesn’t want to be valued by her man?

Not only Yang Maixiang, but also Yang's father and mother Yang's attitude softened a lot when they saw Wang Weidong carrying such an expensive gift.

They are not the kind of snobbish people, otherwise they would have married Yang Maixiang to the young leader of the bus company.

They also felt valued.

Mother Yang had already prepared a large table of dishes.

Braised pork elbow, spicy carp, braised pork with pickled vegetables, steamed fish...

Wang Weidong counted and found that there were ten dishes in total, nine of which were meat dishes. The only vegetarian dish was scrambled eggs with chopped green onions.

I sighed in my heart, this father-in-law is really good at dealing with me.

Although these days are much better than those in the 1960s, people still rarely eat meat. Wang Weidong is sure that his father-in-law must have spent all the meat tickets at home for these dishes.

Maybe... I also need to add my uncle's.

There is also a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes sitting in front of the table. He is wearing a gray tunic suit and black-rimmed glasses. He looks very elegant like a university professor, but his true identity is the deputy stationmaster of Ningzhou Railway Station.

.

The railway station is a popular department in this era, and train tickets are hard to come by. Anyone who knows someone from the railway station will be proud of themselves.

Yang Maixiang was able to work in a bus company office after graduating from junior high school, thanks to the help of her uncle Yang Lanqing.

Yang Lanqing has been secretly observing Wang Weidong since he came in.

In fact, he was opposed to Yang Maixiang's choice.

Yang Maixiang's condition is not bad and she is still an unmarried girl.

But Wang Weidong was a second-married man. As for his identity as a cook, Yang Lanqing couldn't see it at all.

However, he had doted on this sister since he was a child, so he could only let it go.

After just a few minutes of observation, Yang Lanqing was immediately relieved. This man was not as dull as his parents described him, and on the contrary, his speech and behavior were just right.

"Come, Hong Chang, sit here, we two brothers are going to have a good drink today."

Yang Lanqing took the initiative to stand up and pull out the stool. Wang Weidong was not polite and sat on it.

"Brother, you are so busy at work, I am really embarrassed to bother you to come back."

"Hey, I'm busy, and I don't have anything to do with girls, but I feel relieved when I see you."

There is no one in the train station who does not drink alcohol these days, and Yang Lanqing was no exception. He opened the bottle within a few words.

"Come, let's have a few drinks."

Yang Maixiang next to him took the initiative to pour wine for the two of them, and the two started drinking one glass after another.

Ningzhou people pay attention to toasts when drinking, and toasts are also relatively popular.

What about peace in life, two people of the same mind, good fortune in three lives, wealth in all seasons, abundant harvests, etc.

When he was very happy after drinking, Yang Lanqing felt that something was wrong. He was already a little dizzy, but the cook's brother-in-law was still the same, his face had not changed at all, and he still had a faint smile on his face.

He was suddenly a little surprised. A deputy webmaster like him could be said to have banquets every day, and his drinking capacity had already exceeded that of ordinary people.

"Come on, uncle, let's come again."

In these days, deep feelings are emphasized, and when Wang Weidong saw that Yang Lanqing had not picked up the wine glass, he thought he had something to say about him.

He quickly picked up the wine glass and toasted to Yang Lanqing.

"Okay, good brother-in-law!" Yang Lanqing suppressed the rising feeling of drunkenness, picked up the wine glass, brought it to her lips, shook her wrist, and drank a glass of wine.

While his stomach was filled with heat, he felt that the scene around him began to rotate continuously, and the chairs and stools were stretched into lines. Then his vision went dark and he fell onto the table.

The sound of "kuangdang" startled Wang Weidong.

Good guy, the first time I came to visit, I fucked my uncle hard...

At this time, Yang's father and Yang's mother also came over with a bowl of soup and a bowl. When they saw this scene, they all squeezed out an awkward smile.

Just now, before Wang Weidong arrived, they discussed asking Yang Lanqing to get Wang Weidong drunk and then ask him about things related to Yang Maixiang.

See if he really likes Yang Maixiang. This is called telling the truth after drinking.

Unexpectedly, instead of getting Wang Weidong drunk, Yang Lanqing fell down first.

Yang's father hurriedly put the soup bowl on the table, wiped his hands on his bib, and said with a smile: "Oh, this kid is really serious. If you can't drink, you have to be brave. Hong Chang, I made you laugh."

"No...it's okay...it's cold outside, let me help you get Brother Lan Qing in!"

Wang Weidong stood up and helped Yang's father help his uncle into the house.

These days, wine is mostly grain wine. After getting drunk, you only need to sleep and you don't have to worry about alcohol poisoning.

Even so, Wang Weidong still asked his mother-in-law to take good care of Yang Lanqing. In his previous life, he had seen many heroes fall on the wine table.

"Okay, you give Mai Xiang and the others to eat first. I've already eaten in the kitchen."

Mother Yang felt that Wang Weidong was thoughtful, so she picked up a wet towel and wiped Yang Lanqing's face.

When I returned to the dinner table, although I had already drunk one, it was the first time I came to the house and I still had to toast my father-in-law.

But this time I just dealt with it casually, just poured two glasses and that was it.

After a hearty meal, Yang Maixiang and Wang Weidong set out on their way back.

While riding his bicycle, Wang Weidong groaned when he heard Yang Maixiang in the back seat whispering.

He twisted the handlebars around a large rock, turned around and asked, "What did you say?"

"I mean, why do you grown men drink so much wine? It smells so bad. Just like my brother and sister-in-law have nagged him many times, but he still comes home drunk every day." Yang Maixiang said.

Mouth.

"It's harmful. There's nothing we can do about it. Drinking has long been a rule. Your brother is the deputy station manager. If he doesn't follow the rules, others won't let him play." Wang Weidong laughed.

Yang Maixiang also knew that Wang Weidong's words were true. After struggling for a while, he stopped struggling.

He asked in a low voice: "Why didn't I know that you had such a heavy drinking capacity that you could even knock down my brother?"

"Hey, even I don't know."

Wang Weidong was also a little surprised. Seeing Yang Lanqing's desperate look today, he thought he would have to fall drunk at his mother-in-law's house. Who would have thought that after the first glass of wine, he didn't feel anything at all, as if he just drank it.

A cup of water.

Later, Wang Weidong came to a possible result, that is, after several weeks of inspection, his physical fitness was already different from ordinary people.

Just like driving, he can now drive for two hours at a time.

Of course. These are not enough for outsiders to understand.

Returning to the He family compound, the yard was pitch dark, with only the dim lights on from the residents' homes who were still asleep.

Wang Weidong tied up his bicycle and was about to open the door when a crisp sound came from the distance.

"Hong Chang, can I have a conversation with you?"

Looking up, I saw He Wenhui standing under the big locust tree. She looked hesitant, lowered her head, and kept pulling at the corners of her clothes with her little hands.

Wang Weidong did not answer her, but looked at Yang Maixiang.

"Go on, we are all neighbors. If someone calls you, it would be inappropriate for you not to go. I will boil water for you first." Yang Maixiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

Of course she doesn't want her man to talk to another woman, especially at night, especially when that woman is her man's ex-wife.

However, she is not the kind of person with small belly and chicken intestines.

Yang Maixiang entered the room, and Wang Weidong walked up to He Wenhui.

"If you have anything to do, just tell me quickly. It's so late and I have to go back and rest."

This sentence almost made He Wenhui break her guard on the spot. She thought that Wang Weidong would comfort her with a few soft words when he saw her pitiful look. After all, how could he be so stubborn if a couple was so kind to each other for a day?

What about the heart?

He Wenhui bit her lips and murmured in a low voice: "Brother Hong Chang, although we divorced for various reasons, we can still be friends, and you don't have to treat me like this!"

"If you want to say this, then there is nothing left to talk about between us." As Wang Weidong spoke, he wanted to turn around and go back to the house.

For him, a qualified ex is the kind who is dead, and it is best not to have to meet him again forever.

"Wait a minute!" He Wenhui was stunned for a moment, then quickly reached out and grabbed the corner of Wang Weidong's clothes, "I want to ask you for something!"

"Well...it's for He Wenyuan and Wen Tao, right?"

"The two of them are just children. You beat them and scold them. Why do they have to make a self-examination in public? They will definitely not be able to bear the ridicule of everyone." Seeing Wang Weidong's cold attitude, He Wenhui said,

He stopped holding it and hurriedly explained his purpose.

Today, He Wenyuan and He Wentao had been arguing with her all day, and they did not want to make a self-criticism in front of everyone.

Wang Weidong looked He Wenhui up and down and said coldly: "He Wenhui, we are divorced. There are some things I shouldn't say, but for the sake of us being better off for such a long time, I will give you a heads up."

He Wenhui raised her head, looking confused.

Wang Weidong continued: "If you keep protecting He Wenyuan and He Wentao as children, you will harm them.

Every time they make a mistake, you always protect them.

They will not be punished and will definitely make mistakes next time.

If this continues, they will cause more and more trouble, until one day, no matter how hard you try, you can't help them cover it up.

When the time comes, what should you do?

Besides, He Wenyuan and He Wentao actually dared to frame someone this time.

If I hadn't obtained a marriage certificate with Yang Maixiang, I would have been in jail by now.

Both of us will lose our jobs and our lives will be ruined in the future.

Compared with this result, the punishment they received was far from enough.

"

"But..." He Wenhui still wanted to defend He Wenyuan and He Wentao, but she opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound because she had nothing to say.

When he raised his head again, Wang Weidong had already opened the door and entered the house.

"Brother Hong Chang, you are back. The hot water has been boiled. Just sit on the bed and I will wash your feet."

Hearing the laughter and laughter coming from the house, He Wenhui felt sad in her heart. She stood for a long time before turning around and going back to the house.

"Sister, sister, how are you? Does Big Liu agree?" He Wenyuan had been waiting in the room, jumped up from his chair and ran to her.

He Wenhui looked at the sister she had brought up since childhood and remembered Wang Weidong's words.

Maybe, I really pampered them too much.

"If you don't agree, you and Wen Tao will go in for self-examination tomorrow."

"What, Old Liu is really merciless. He makes me so angry. I will make him look good in the future."

He Wenyuan was furious when he heard this, opened the door angrily and left, slamming the door loudly.

He Wenhui sat at the desk, looking at the darkness outside the window, with a wry smile on her lips.

....

The next morning.

Before three o'clock, Wang Weidong woke up.

He carefully moved the leg that was draped over his body, put on his clothes quietly, and was about to push the door open when a voice came from behind him.

"Brother Hong Chang, what are you doing so early?"

Wang Weidong turned around and found that Yang Maixiang had woken up at some unknown time. She was rubbing her hazy sleepy eyes and yawning.

"I have something to do and I have to go out. You can sleep a little longer. There is no need to make breakfast. I will bring you food when I come back."

"Yeah, it's dark outside, please slow down." Yang Maixiang warned, then lay back on the pillow and fell asleep.

She trusted Wang Weidong very much and knew that Wang Weidong must have something serious to do when he went out.

Got out of the house.

It was late autumn now, and there was a chill in the breeze. Wang Weidong buttoned up his collar, grabbed the cold handle of the car and drove out of the compound.

The street outside is silent. These days, energy saving is advocated, and street lamps will only light up once every few.

Along the dim lights, Wang Weidong rode his bicycle vigorously and soon arrived outside the city.

"Cuckoo. Cuckoo."

When he came to a big locust tree, Wang Weidong stopped his bicycle, looked into the distance, pinched his throat, and imitated the bird call.

"Gugu, gugu..."

A response soon came from the distance, followed by heavy footsteps, and then two tall figures running over from the darkness.

"Is it Hong Chang?"

"Changshun, Changyi, how long have you been here?"

"Ahem, I'm afraid of wasting time, so I'll be here after twelve o'clock."

Liu Changshun and Liu Changyi were wearing tattered coats and straw hats, and they each picked two picks.

"Come, let's talk over here."

Although there was no one nearby, Wang Weidong invited the two brothers to a ditch not far away for safety reasons.
