The leisurely life of rebirth

Fang Monan looked at the newlyweds who were worshiping the heaven and earth. He recalled the scene when he saw the bride for the first time. Mei couldn't describe it in one word. Otherwise, how could he have been thieves? He made Liang Zi hide at home for a long time. When Liang Zi and Fatty bought the goods, they were in the store.

Let her (Qiu Hongye) take care of the business, and she can do no worse than Liang Zi and the others.

After Fang Monan inquired, she found out that the girl graduated from a well-known brand-name university. She was now curious as to how the university package allocation could be reduced to such a state at that time. Only after taking a look did she realize that she had a mistress's face and a devilish figure.

Fang Monan seems to know why? Her (Qiu Hongye) name is very poetic and picturesque. She is an extremely enchanting and delicate woman. Her skin is like a watery hibiscus pistil, translucent. A pair of peach blossom eyes are like two rippling waves.

The autumn water in the eyes is like the vast smoke waves in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, which makes people intoxicated. The straight and beautiful jade nose outlines the most enchanting arc in the world, and a pair of pink lips, as if they are ripe

The plump cherries are tempting to pick. Even if she is wearing a cotton-padded jacket, she can't hide her undulating figure. She is perfect and flawless. She is truly charming and a peerless beauty!

When Fang Monan was talking to her, her fox-like charming brows and eye movements revealed a natural charm.

Fang Monan stared at her carefully, and actually blushed. There was shyness and fear in her eyes, but in the end she was still pretending to be calm. It could be seen that she was trying her best to please Fang Monan, because she, Liang Zi, mentioned this

The little girl is not simple, I hope she can be recognized.[

"Appearance is innate. There is no need to be so inferior. Although you don't have to show it boldly, there is no need to worry about it," Fang Monan said leisurely. "I don't know why you want to marry Brother Liang Zi, but I

I hope you won't hurt him."

"Liang Zi is a good man, I will not hurt him." Qiu Hongye said sadly. "He is the first one to think that I am a serious woman."

Qiu Hongye was kicked out of her family and had no way to go, so she stayed in his house as a cheat. Aunt Liang happened to misunderstand her again and she stayed in it as a matter of course. She had no academic qualifications, but she ended up in such an end, which made her sigh.

, I just didn’t expect that I would fall in love with him. Maybe he didn’t despise her because of her appearance!

"I hope you will do what you say, and you don't have to walk with your head down. You can cover it with your glasses frames." Fang Monan suggested. No wonder she kept her head down and looked in a hurry when she saw her, and she didn't stop even when she was called.

.

"Does Liang Zi tell you his experience?" Fang Monan asked tentatively.

"Liang Zi said that he was a gangster, a treacherous man, and had been in jail." Qiu Hongye asked in confusion: "I don't look like such a person! What crime did he commit!"

"Let him tell you this!" Fang Monan said mysteriously.

Later, Liangzi bought a pair of black-framed flat glasses from Yangcheng, which covered most of her face. Fang Monan got along with her and teased him: "Liangzi is so lucky, he is a nice person."

Fang Monan looked at the bride and groom, remembering everything he knew about them, smiled, and blessed them.

The wedding was very lively, and the bride was wearing glasses. It seemed that the troubles caused by her appearance might get better as time goes by.

During the wedding ceremony, due to Liang Zi's prestige, only the fat man and the thin monkey did not dare to cause too much trouble. After a little excitement, they all left.

At this time, Liang Zi was standing beside the bed, and the bride was sitting on the bed, looking at him with bright eyes.

"By the way, this is a gift from a friend." Liang Zi took out the gift from Cheng Shigui and others from the camphor wood box and put it on her carefully.

"It's so beautiful." Liang Zi took her hand and kept stroking it. The rose gold watch highlighted her fair and creamy skin.

"This thing is too expensive. Who gave it to me?" Qiu Hongye asked curiously.

"It's a gift from the boss." Liang Zi said, if it weren't for Nannan's great reputation, no one would know who he is!

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Qiu Yehong didn't ask any more questions. She untied the braid on her head, spread her black satin-like hair, and took off her black-rimmed glasses. She glanced at him,

It must be full of charm.

The more you look at a beauty under the lamp, the more beautiful she becomes. A moment in the bridal chamber is worth a thousand pieces of gold during the night of flowers and candles.

For the first time, Liang Zi did not get up early. It was already dawn. Liang Zi opened his eyes and looked at the autumn leaves beside him. "I have also married a daughter-in-law." It was so beautiful in my heart.[

Qiu Hongye also woke up and saw him staring at her. She didn't know what he was thinking about. He moved quietly.

"Does it still hurt?" Liang Zi came back from his thoughts and asked distressedly. Yesterday, he was pregnant and forgot that she had just had her first period. She should feel sorry for her. It's strange that he couldn't bear it.

Qiu Yehong blushed and got into his chest, shaking her head.

"Don't you get up? Don't you have to serve tea to our mother?" Qiu Yehong whispered. "Don't you have to open a shop?"

"No, Nannan will give us a wedding leave and let us rest for two more days." Liang Zi rubbed her smooth back and said absently. "Hey... our mother understands that she should be at Aunt Mo's place now, and she will get up later.

OK."

"Ah! How can that be done?" Qiu Hongye turned over and wanted to get up. The waves on his chest were swaying. Liang Zi's eyes were getting darker, and the lust in the room was getting thicker. It seemed that he should be worthy of this holiday.

*************************************

In a blink of an eye, it was the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month again. Grandma’s year-end summary was a big step forward compared to the previous year. After one year, after deducting miscellaneous expenses, steamed buns and pancake stalls, there was an income of 10,000 yuan. This... this

...I have also become a household with ten thousand yuan. You must know that at that time, a household with ten thousand yuan was comparable to the millionaires of later generations. Prices at that time were extremely low (rice price was 014 yuan, flour was 07 yuan, meat was 095 yuan, and gifts were given to relatives when visiting relatives)

It was about 2 yuan, the New Year's money was 01-02 yuan, and the worker's salary was about 28 yuan). You can imagine what ten thousand yuan meant at that time. My grandma was very happy. She looked forward to the future and was full of confidence in tomorrow.

On the night of the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Fang Monan came to Liang Zi's house. The house was warm and cozy, with the bright red words "happy" still posted on the wall. All household appliances were available, and it finally felt like home again.

Fang Monan was sitting on an electroplated folding chair. The house had changed a lot. The table was a square table, also electroplated.

The fat man teased Liang Zi and said: "Brother, sister-in-law, we must be spending the spring nights warmly in the hibiscus tent these days. The spring nights are short and the days are high. From now on, the king will not go to court early."

Qiu Hongye hid, Liang Zi giggled, and joked: "It seems that the fat man is very knowledgeable!"

"Haha...you didn't force me." The fat man said with a bitter face.

"Haha..." Liang Zi and Shou Hou laughed unceremoniously.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Fang Monan knocked on the table and said.

"Oh! The revenue of the store this year is better than last year! We have added clothing sales, and the business is even more prosperous." Liang Zi talked about the things in the store right away, and the data was written down one after another.

In my mind, "Especially in the past two years, the county's policies have been good, and the farmers' pockets have bulged, which is reflected in the food, drink and clothing, and we have benefited a lot." They buy clothes directly from Han Zhiqian's clothing factory, and they are envious of others.

.

"Yes! As the New Year is approaching, our store is packed with people. The sales volume is soaring!" The fat man said happily, gesturing with his hands.

Fang Monan took their accounts and calculated silently. Qiu Hongye came out of the inner room at this time and served tea. Fang Monan gave the tea to Liang Zi, and he also fell in love with drinking tea.

The fat man saw Qiu Hongye coming and said, "It would be better if my sister-in-law is in the store. You said it's very awkward for me to be a grown man selling women's clothes."

"Just be content! If there is Jinxiu and Xiaomei to help, it would be too busy otherwise." Shouhou said.

"Okay, let's go tomorrow." Liang Zi said.

After Fang Monan finished paying the dividends, the fat man said happily: "It's been a year, and today is the most exciting." He took the money and counted it happily. Although he made a lot of money, after two years, he had distributed hundreds of thousands.

, but he likes this wonderful feeling of counting money.[

"Look at how hopeless you are." Liang Zi patted him on the shoulder and said, "It seems that no matter how much money I make in the future, I will have to give you cash." He waved his bankbook.

"Cash is good, cash has feelings. A passbook is just a series of numbers, without the shock of reality." The fat man looked at his passbook and sighed.

"These are the shoes Xiaomei made for you." He quickly took out four pairs of shoes from his bag, two pairs of cloth shoes and two pairs of cotton shoes. "Two pairs of them are Xiaobei's."

"Okay! Thank you Sister Xiaomei for me." Fang Monan held them in his arms.

"Thank you! It didn't take any effort." The fat man said matter-of-factly, "Besides, my mother..."

"Okay, I won't say thank you anymore." Fang Monan quickly interrupted his next words of thanks.

Shouhou told Fang Monan what happened in Shanghai. He happened to attend Liang Zi's wedding just after he came back, and was busy with the store afterwards. Taking advantage of today, he handed her the contracts and procedures for the two houses, and the remaining

With the money, he bought all the products produced in Shanghai according to Fang Monan's instructions. There were quite a lot of them, including two large cardboard boxes. Bedding, enamel basins, kettles, etc. Not to mention the price, the quality at that time was excellent.

.

When it comes to ceiling fans, he is even more excited. The sales are good and the supply exceeds the demand. There is no way that the production capacity is insufficient. People come to ask for goods every day. He feels sad when he sees those people leaving. They are not human beings but just in vain.

Money!

"It will be good after the New Year. Uncle Qi has added two more production lines. He doesn't plan to take a break during the New Year. The salary will be tripled and there will be three shifts every day." Fang Monan said.

"Hey! That's really great." Thin Monkey said excitedly while rubbing his hands.

"Okay, let's stop here! I'm leaving, you can have fun as you want, don't cause trouble." Fang Monan said, and took out a bottle of Maotai and put it on the table.

"We know." Fatty's eyes lit up when he saw Maotai.

"I'm watching over them!" Liang Zi said, "I'll take you back. Hong Ye is preparing a meal. Our brothers haven't seen each other in a few months, let's have a good time together.

"Okay!" Fang Monan didn't hesitate. She couldn't carry back the things that Shouhou brought to her, which just happened to trouble Liang Zi.

Qiu Hongye prepared wine and food, and the three of them ate side dishes, drank small wine, and held cigarettes in their mouths. It was unimaginable to live like this.

"If I think about it two years ago, I would never have dreamed that I could live such a life." The fat man sighed endlessly.

"Yes! If we hadn't gone ashore in time, we would have died." Shouhou thought about it, and his heart was still trembling. "The guy who hacked Brother Liang Zi last time, we didn't see him being crushed with our own eyes."

"Okay, don't forget about the bitterness and sweetness. Just follow Nan Nan." Liang Zi waved his hand, "Drink and eat." He then asked Shouhou about his experiences in Shanghai.

They kept drinking and chatting for more than two hours. Shouhou was worried that Fatty would bring so much cash, so he sent him home before he returned.

The busy adults are busy preparing New Year's goods, and the children are looking forward to the arrival of the New Year, new clothes, enough delicious food, and new year's money. For the two sisters Fang Monan, Mobei still practices the piano step by step, and Mobei still practices the piano step by step.

Nan is educating Mo Bei about other knowledge. In fact, to put it bluntly, it means telling inspirational stories to educate and entertain. Adults don’t have time, so these become Fang Mo Nan’s job. Of course, the audience also includes Leonard, who also

Planning things for the new year.

When the New Year was approaching, Dachengzi brought a new year's gift, more than 50 kilograms of pork, ten old hens, and coarse cloth woven by his aunt. Dachengzi left the things behind and left in a hurry. The family was busy, so he came here in a hurry.

Grandma looked at so much pork, so she didn't worry. The family was full of meat tigers, and they were all meat-eaters. It was better to leave it to Fang Monan, who made her the master chef of the family.

Grandma, Fang Monan made the same as last year, fried meatballs, stewed pork bones, and made pig skin jelly. Add appropriate seasonings, star anise, pepper, cinnamon, angelica, and bay leaves to the pig skin and bones.

Salt is boiled for a long time so that the soup contains a certain amount of skin glue, and then cooled. After cooling, the pig skin and the soup will solidify together. Because it is eaten after cooling, cooling can be said to be freezing.

, so it’s called pig skin jelly. It’s made successfully, the color is tender and bright, and the texture and taste are refreshing.

Looking at the pork rind jelly, Fang Monan was reminded of soup dumplings. The meat stuffing is mixed with diced mushrooms, diced chicken, and cooled pork rind jelly. It is wrapped in dough and steamed, and the jelly turns into soup.

, fresh and fragrant meat, soft skin and soft tendons, exquisite and clear appearance, mellow and rich soup, oily but not greasy in the mouth. Its skin is thin and filling, the soup is oily, soft and fragrant, white and smooth, like a lantern when lifted up, and like a lantern when put down.

chrysanthemum.

The steamed stuffed buns filled with soup have a beautiful form, and their content is exquisite and unique. The meat filling and fresh soup live together in the same room. Eating it will bring you the three-in-one experience of eating noodles, eating meat, and eating soup in Northern China. It is an integrated charm. Eating soup dumplings

For steamed buns, the presence of soup comes first, followed by the meat filling, and then the dough.

Leonard looked at the soup dumplings that had just been baked in front of him with admiration. He took a bite and said, "It's so hot..." He stuck out his tongue and fanned his hands desperately. His grandma quickly handed him a cup of cold water. He drank a few

Eloquence feels better.

Grandma said embarrassedly: "I forgot to tell you, I'm not burned, right? This is how you should eat soup dumplings." She taught him carefully, sucking the soup first and then eating.

"Oh!" Leonard said he understood. He didn't care that his mouth was burning, and he ate to his heart's content, like a satiated cat.

Grandma ate the soup dumplings and said, "Hey! We can steam and sell these next year." She clapped her hands and said, "This can be done!"

Grandma is now a bit obsessed. She wants to sell any pasta that can make money. But she will have to wait until next year to plan this.

*************************************

Because Fang Monan is accustomed to using his adult thoughts and ideas to communicate with Mobei, Mobei gradually develops more and more in her direction. If this continues, in a few years, Mobei will no longer have the happiness of childhood.

Just when Fang Monan began to doubt whether it was a good idea to encourage the seedlings, he neglected Mo Bei and forgot to tell the story. As a result, Fang Monan was criticized by everyone.

"Xiao Bei, you like to hear me tell stories." Fang Monan sat on the small bench and asked with his head tilted.

"Yes!" Mobei nodded.

"Didn't you go to the neighbor's children to play with them?" Fang Monan said.

"You didn't go either."

Fang Monan was choked by her words for a long time and could not recover.

"They are too childish. They don't understand anything. They only know how to play in the mud and dig out bird eggs..." Fang Mobei wrinkled his little nose and said in a clear childish voice, clicking his little mouth.

"I won't talk about the stories I told you."

"No, it sounds great. I like the wit of Ikkyu and Afanti; I also like to read the beautiful landscape paintings in scientific geography magazines; and I also like the moving melodies when playing the violin. Don't waste your life on those chatty things.

." Fang Monan was stunned when he heard these words from Mo Bei.

"Who taught you this?"

"Does this still need teaching? Isn't that what you said in the story you told me?" Mobei blinked and looked at her in confusion.

Fang Monan began to reflect on whether this was right or wrong. If he continued to hang out with her, he would become like her with the appearance of a child but also with the heart of an adult. She completely affected her life. Looking at Mobei Na

I am writing the children's version of "One Hundred Thousand Whys", which makes me feel sad.

It's better to know what society is like as early as possible than to learn a distorted outlook on life from reading romance novels when you are curious. Fang Monan comforted himself like this, and besides, she was watching!

It's the 29th of the twelfth lunar month again. After dinner, everyone started to lively again. Dad also kept up with the times and sang the theme song of the 1983 version of "Journey to the West", "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is."

At the foot of the mountain, the episode "Five Hundred Years of Change" was played. When my father sang this song, he was very emotional and had tears in his eyes. He remembered that he had fallen out with his family, and he was filled with emotion for a moment.

Mom and aunt sang an episode of the TV series, and Liang Zi and Qiu Hongye sang the theme song of the 1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Of course, Xiaobei still sang her famous violin song. Fang Monan kept in mind last year's teachings, and this year

Play the erhu "Dance of the Golden Snake", compiled and adapted by Nie Er. The melody of the music is high-spirited and enthusiastic, exaggerating the festive atmosphere of the festival.

After hearing this, Leonard couldn't help but nod his head, "Yeah! It sounds good, joyful, high-spirited, unrestrained emotions, full of vitality and vitality."

However, Aunt Mobei did not intend to let Fang Monan go like this, and had to sing a song they had never heard before. Finally, she sang "Tomorrow will be better", which means that the life at home is prosperous and tomorrow will be better.

This made the two of them give up!

After the excitement, Fang Monan began to distribute New Year's gifts. On a bed-by-bed basis, he distributed bedding (sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases) as well as enamel washbasins and iron thermos bottles. Fortunately, she asked Shouhou to sell many more from Shanghai.

The goods, otherwise there would be really not enough. As for the fat man’s goods, Liang Zi would take them away and give them to him.

************************************

On the thirtieth day, my father made up his mind not to 'go home' again. He took his mother to the countryside to visit her mother's grave, tidy up the grave, pull out the yellow weeds, and ramble on about what happened.

, I left after two hours. I looked at the low adobe houses and dirt roads in the village, and some homes even lit kerosene lamps at night.

Think again about the brand-new road leading to the village in the county where my mother-in-law lives, and the new red-brick house built by Dachengzi's family. The place where he lived in his childhood was still so backward and poor. It was only a county away, so why was it so different?

Dad and the others finally came back on the night of the 30th. New Year's Eve in 1984 was February 1st. This 30th was no longer deserted, it was very lively, and the family gathered together. After the reunion dinner, Qi Qiushi left in a hurry, he had to accompany the factory

The workers spent New Year's Eve together. Those who stayed behind talked and laughed while watching the Spring Festival Gala. No matter the costumes of the host or the cast and crew, they were no longer inferior to those of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, and were even slightly better.

Grandma not only couldn't rest during the New Year, but also had to receive relatives in droves. After the hustle and bustle, there was peace. After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shouhou and Jinxiu went to Shanghai, and Liangzi and Fatty opened a business and released 20,000 yuan.

The firecrackers were fired, and grandma’s steamed bun shop continued to operate.

Dad saw that the house was getting busy again, "Mom, Dayan, let's go to Uncle Lin's house. I have something I want to discuss with you." Dad came in and said.

The three of them entered Uncle Lin's room. At this time, Fang Monan was reading a book, Mobei was also reading music scores, and Leonard was discussing the Tao Te Ching with Mr. Lin.

When Dad and the others came in, Mr. Lin saw this and said, "What are you..."

"Uncle Lin, I have some ideas in my mind that I want to discuss with everyone." Dad moved a chair for grandma, moved two stools, handed one to mom, and sat down himself.

"Oh! We have something to discuss, and I also have something to tell you." Mr. Lin said, "I was blocked here by this thunder. I thought I would tell you later." "What's the matter, you tell me first!"

"

"Things are like this. The company talked to me a year ago, and I will be promoted after the year." My father did not feel the usual joy of being promoted, but said calmly.

"This is a good thing, you can really keep your temper." His mother glanced at him and said angrily.

"I've decided not to do it now." Dad said in a deep voice with bright eyes, and threw out a bomb.

"You...you...why don't you discuss it with me?" Mom said anxiously.

When Mr. Lin saw his mother, he still wanted to say something, but interrupted: "What do you think?"

"I want to join politics!" Dad said loudly, then softened, "I just don't know if I can get in?"

"Haha... It seems you have really asked the right person." Mr. Lin smiled and said, "A few days ago, in view of your performance when building roads, Secretary Wang asked me to test your tone and see if you are interested in coming to the county.

At work, he asked about your promotion in the company. He doesn’t know what you are thinking. Nowadays, everyone wants to make money. I am afraid that you may not look down on our small county, so let me ask first."

Fang Monan was surprised that his father actually wanted to join politics. In the past, that was the most annoying thing. When it came to officials, they would have meetings at eight o'clock and arrive at nine o'clock. They would listen to the report at ten o'clock without mistake. A glass of water, a piece of paper, and they would be gone to work in the blink of an eye.

Come on. She doesn't make much money as he does. It seems that her little wings are not beating lightly, but she shouldn't be in politics anyway, it's better to go to the sea!

"Dad, why do you want to join politics?" Fang Monan interjected with his eyes widened.

"Well, I don't have such a big public heart. I just read Uncle Lin's books these days, especially history books. I feel that if I leave a small shop like my mother's, no matter how prosperous it is, whether it's government-business or government-business.

At least people will be less bullied by officialdom. For small things like installing a telephone or running water, a single word from someone who is an official is better than five or six trips from my mother." Dad said it very straightforwardly and plainly.

After seeing with his own eyes that telephones and running water were installed in his own home, rich people also wanted to install them, but they were blocked after a trip. Without special approval from the leaders, even if they had money, they could not even think about it. In his heart, he could install telephones in his home.

That was Mr. Tolin's blessing. He had people in the county, and this touched him greatly.

Dad hesitated but said frankly: "This is just my selfishness. I just want to establish some connections in the officialdom, and it will be easier to do things. Compared with ordinary people, I have no connections, and I am just like a fly." He has not yet.

Such a high level.

"You must be straightforward and frank." Mr. Lin said. As for selfishness, it cannot be wrong. People's hearts are unpredictable. As time goes by, public motives can turn into selfish ones. Who knows what will happen in the future? "But what will happen in the future?"

What a coincidence. Secretary Wang saw your performance in road construction and intended to transfer you to work in the county committee, but the position will not be too high when you first join. "

"Okay! Let's talk about it after we go in first. Do you want to work? You can do anything." Dad said without any objection. Everyone has their own destiny, so we have to go in and talk about it.

"Okay, let's make the reservation." Mr. Lin asked again: "Zhengping, you didn't go home for the New Year, and now you have decided to resign, why don't you discuss it with your family?"

"Discuss it, let's not discuss it." Dad deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"Do you know what I mean?" Mr. Lin sighed and said. "You decided to break up with your family and gave all your money to them. Don't you need to write a document?"

"Clerical clerk? She wishes that a poor guy like me wouldn't come to visit! If I don't go, I won't just win her heart. She won't have to see this thorn in her side and flesh again, so what else will she need to write?" Dad said self-righteously.

Mr. Lin shook his head. He was such an upright fool. "Just because you don't go doesn't mean that people won't come to you and ask for money."

"Ah! Why do you still do this? Didn't you give me all the money?" My mother yelled and clapped her hands. "By the way, it is the obligation of children to support the elderly. With their shamelessness, they can really do it again."

Mr. Lin said earnestly: "You only think about the present. You don't think about the future development. No one knows what the future will develop like. It's better to take preventive measures before they happen."

Dad thought about it and said, "If it were really written down in black and white, it would be really embarrassing." He thought it was unclear, and maybe he still had some bad imagination.

"What? You...you..." His mother stared at him, and Mr. Lin interrupted her, "You have to think carefully about Zhengping." "I'll go to the county first and give them a reply.

.”

Grandma comforted my mother, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant and depressing for a while. I didn't want to see the open wound lying in front of me with blood again.
