MTL - Accidentally born in the ’60s-Chapter 115 reunion
Mr. Li laughed after hearing this: "Okay, go wash your face and eat."
Although the hottest time has passed at this time, Qiuhu still sends back threats from time to time, and Zhen Zhen went out and came back sweating profusely. Zhen Zhen returned to her room and simply cleaned up before heading to the main hall. As the place where the palace used to entertain guests in the past, it was large enough to accommodate four or five round tables.
I was afraid that the old furniture that was placed here before would be bumped, so Zhen Zhen moved the original furniture to the side room before they came, and let the furniture factory send two A large dining table and solid wood stools are placed inside, so there is no need to move furniture when eating.
Liu Xiulan and the two nannies set the last dish, Mrs. Li and Zhen Zhen also came in, Liu Xiulan smiled and greeted: "Zhen Zhen is back, come and eat quickly."
Zhen Zhen called someone with a smile, nodded with a few of her peers, and sat down with Mrs. Li on the table inside. The family hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the meals were lively and lively every day. There was white wine on the table and soda from the Arctic Ocean for the children, while Zhen Zhen drank the wine she brewed, a small glass a day was enough.
Liu Xiulan used chopsticks she hadn't used to serve Zhen Zhen: "You said that Zhen Zhen is so big and will get married soon, when I think about it, it's like a dream."
Wang Sufen said with a smile: "It's not that bad, it seemed like what happened before you when you helped deliver the baby."
Liu Xiulan looked at Wang Sufen with envy in her heart: "Our family is still your family's most promising children, all five children are college students, and both meat and beanbags also go to college. Anyone who mentions your family in Beicha will give a thumbs up, and they will always be envious."
Wang Sufen swept her hair: "It's all the children's own efforts, we can't help you if you don't know one big character."
Liu Xiulan's gaze skipped her two sons and landed on her grandson's face: "Dabao, you have to study hard, don't you know? It would be nice to live in a big house."
Li Mingrong's son nodded: "I know, just like my sister-in-law, you can say it eight times a day at home, and I can memorize it."
Zhang Chunhua at the other table was even more jealous. I only knew that Zhen Zhen took the big yellow croaker and entrusted Li Muwen to change it into a big house, but only when I came back did I realize that the house was so big. Needless to say, the courtyards are layer upon layer, but the big one at the back is as big as the small park near my house. There are flowers and vegetables in it. There are chickens, ducks, fish and crabs. These days, I can only buy some outside. Pork and the rest are produced by our own family, not to mention saving more money.
Looking at Wang Sufen, who is ten years older than herself, her hair is dark and shiny now, the wrinkles on her face are not as many as before, and her hands are tender. She has a nanny for cooking and cleaning, and washing clothes. With a washing machine, this life is more luxurious than the previous big landlords.
Poke the fish in the bowl, Zhang Chunhua just wanted to speak, but Li Mulin glared at him, and then looked at the two sons staring at him, he could only swallow the words reluctantly go down. She didn't understand what the three masters were thinking, the old lady lives in such a big house, with so many empty rooms, Zhen Zhen is getting married again, what can she do if she has nothing to do? There are people who have food, shelter, and people to serve, and each one is truly blessed not to enjoy.
After dinner, the family watched TV in the yard and went back to their respective rooms to sleep. As soon as the door was closed, Li Mulin stared at Zhang Chunhua and said, "I told you before I came here, don't use your rude mouth when you get here, you will remember it for me."
Zhang Chunhua couldn't help muttering: "What can I say, I just want to discuss with my mother to let us come and live? You said so many houses are empty, don't be blind Is it?"
Where does your aunt have such a big face?"
"That's why his family is stupid." Zhang Chunhua didn't dare to speak during the day, but at night he couldn't help but force a sentence: "You said that such a big house is really giving that girl a movie? Are you blind? You will have grown up in the future, and you will not be able to tell them apart with so many sons and grandchildren?"
As soon as Li Mulin heard the irritability, he turned around in the room, pointed at her, and shouted: "Zhang Chunhua, let me hear you say this again, believe it or not, I will beat you to death."
Zhang Chunhua immediately closed his mouth skillfully, but the expression on his face was clearly a little unconvinced. Ming Shu and Ming Xin, who lived in the next room, heard the movement and came over: "Dad, Mom, why are you two arguing at night? It's not in our own house, so be quiet."
Li Mulin pointed at Zhang Chunhua's blushing face: "Just your mother's rude mouth, thinking about other people's houses all day long, you say she can't help but be jealous of other people's things."
Ming Shu glanced at Zhang Chunhua, then turned to discuss with Ming Xin: "No, let your sister-in-law take your mother back first, don't let this mess up."
Zhang Chunhua was about to cry when she heard it: "I just want to kick me back, I just want to go back, can't I just say it?"
Ming Shu looked at her: "Really?"
Zhang Chunhua nodded pitifully: "I don't feel sorry for the things of our old Li family, but none of you are appreciative."
Mingxin sighed and pressed Zhang Chunhua on the chair: "Mom, when I beat my dad to Bingcheng to marry you, he was separated from the family. Our family's property is ice. The old house in the city and the things in it, as for the hometown and the imperial capital, it has nothing to do with us, do you know? To put it bluntly, even if my second uncle’s family has more money, you can buy several planes, and you can’t ask them for a bicycle. ,Do you understand?"
If you can manage it, this time in the Imperial Capital, seeing that Zhen Zhen's house is in such a good condition, Zhang Chunhua couldn't help but want to let himself go.
Ming Shu was afraid that her brother's good words would not work, so he added a heavy hammer to her: "Mom, we are attending the wedding as relatives this time, you can eat more but you must Don't talk. Don't look at my grandmother's age now, but her body is better than yours. If you really annoy her, she can take a cigarette bag and pot and bring you back to Bingcheng. Believe it or not? "
Zhang Chunhua immediately persuaded: "Why haven't you changed your temper after so many years?"
"Is there anything to change? Usually my second aunt is never angry with her, and my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have never blushed in their lives. If I hadn't seen you, my milk would have thrown the cigarette bag pot?" Ming Shu turned over Bai Yan: "We won't be here for two days in total. We'll go home when Zhen Zhen returns home in three days. Can you stop for a week?" Controlling his temper, Ming Shu tried his best to put on a smile. : "Be good, I'll take you to climb the Great Wall tomorrow."
"How much is that?" Zhang Chunhua couldn't help but say, "Why don't you tell your second uncle to let him..." The eyes of Li Mulin, Mingshu, and Mingxin's three children suddenly cooled down. In the middle, Zhang Chunhua gritted his teeth with heartache: "Okay, let's spend our own money."
Ming Xin couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "My grandmother is not so stingy, I really don't know who you are."
Zhang Chunhua snorted coldly: "I'm not stingy with you, that's because you are the great grandson." In fact, under the education of her husband and son for so many years, Zhang Chunhua also knows that she has a bad personality and is not likable. . But these are all subconscious actions and words from the bottom of her heart when she is no longer in her head.
"Actually, my character is really related to your grandma." Zhang Chunhua sat on the stool and sighed: "Your grandma and grandpa are my only child. But I still feel uneasy in my heart, because I am afraid that I will lose money when I get old, so I can't wait to save all the money for the old age. In fact, your grandfather's salary is not low. In those days, let alone one of me, it was enough to support ten or eight. But He only spends 80 cents every month. He would rather sell the meat ticket than buy a piece of meat and come back home to satisfy his cravings. It’s the same salary. When I was a child, the food I ate at home was not as good as the one that raised seven sons next door. It's good."
Ming Shu and Ming Xin did not expect this to happen, they looked at each other, not knowing how to comment on their grandfather's behavior.
Zhang Chunhua finally summed up: "I'm afraid of being a little poor. I look at other people's good things and want to take advantage. If I eat and drink for nothing, I can't help but put it in my mouth. Dorsey, that's why it's annoying."
Li Mulin said gloomily: "How many rich families were there in the past? Didn't they all come here in those days? After all, it's because my parents didn't teach them well, so don't make useless excuses. already."
Ming Shu pressed Li Mulin's shoulder, comforted Zhang Chunhua and said, "Now our family is not doing well, my brother and I also give you money every month, you can Just eat and spend as much as you want, buy whatever you want, don't envy others."
Zhang Chunhua immediately looked up at his two sons: "I want to buy a washing machine, I don't want to do the laundry by myself."
Mingshu and Mingxin calculated the price, and they could afford it according to their income: "Okay, as long as you don't make trouble this time, we'll buy you a washing machine when we get home."
Zhang Chunhua was happy, and went to the back room to make the bed, Li Mulin looked at his two sons and sighed: "Your mother has been like this all her life, don't take it to heart."
Ming Shu and Ming Xin smiled: "My own mother can still dislike it, just coax her and it's over."
Li Mulin nodded, and finally whispered: "The washing machine is a lot of money, I have enough money for my private house. Now you also have your own children, in addition to the monthly pension money , Don't spend anything other than shopping for the holidays and New Years. It's not easy to support a family, save more money for your children to go to school, otherwise your daughter-in-law will not feel comfortable."
Ming Shu and Ming Xin quickly smiled and said, "No, Dad, where do you want to go."
Li Mulin smiled and patted Mingshu's shoulder: "Dad came here from that time too, I understand your difficulties. Okay, it's getting late, hurry back to sleep. "
In the early morning of the next day, I just had breakfast, and before it was written that I was going to go out, I saw Osmanthus coming with a large bag of things. Seeing that she was sweating profusely, Wang Sufen quickly poured her a glass of water: "Why are you here so early? Don't you need to go to the store?"
When Li Musen and the others first arrived, it was not long after school started. The students came back from their hometown with more pockets, and the clothes in the Osmanthus shop were very fashionable. buying clothes. Although Osmanthus hired a clerk, she still slapped the back of her head in a hurry. She only came to have a meal on the day Li Musen and the others arrived, and went back in a hurry, not even having time to say a few words.
Liu Xiulan grew up watching Osmanthus, and she didn't speak so outlandishly. She handed Osmanthus a towel and asked her with a smile, "What kind of store are you running? Are you still so busy?"
"Clothing store." Osmanthus laughed: "In the beginning, it was meat buns, and I went to the school to set up a street stall from the south, but he was caught by his father, and it was her aunt who persuaded me After coming down, Ming Dong saw that the meat bun did not delay his studies and then pulled it down. I didn’t hear that selling clothes was very profitable, so I took over the job and opened a clothing store. Something to do."
"Oh, it's so good." Liu Xiulan gave Osmanthus a thumbs up: "Osmanthus can do it when she was young, and now she can open her own shop."
Zhang Chunhua was always scolded by Osmanthus when he was in his hometown. The two bickered when they met, but this time he nodded and said, "Osmanthus is a good boy."
Osmanthus looked at Zhang Chunhua in surprise: This style of painting is not right, according to her character, shouldn't she open her mouth to ask for clothes? Is this a change of temper with age?
But as long as Zhang Chunhua doesn't make Mrs. Li angry, and Osmanthus doesn't want to make trouble with her, who doesn't want to talk cheerfully. Unpacking the bags that I brought, the clothes inside were packed and divided: "As soon as Zhen Zhen set her wedding date, I hurriedly went to the south to buy some clothes, especially for you. ."
Liu Xiulan looked at the appearance of at least five or six pieces inside, and couldn't help but said, "Why give me so many clothes, how much does it cost you?"
"Who asked me to kiss my third aunt." Osmanthus said affectionately: "If your niece is filial to you, just accept it."
Liu Xiulan smiled and opened the bag. Although the clothes inside looked very foreign, they were also very suitable for Liu Xiulan's age and were not fancy at all.
Osmanthus separated the same clothes in several bags. Li Musen and Li Mulin had jackets, sweaters and trousers of the same style. Several cousins, sisters-in-law and children were prepared Now, although the styles of each family's clothes are different, they are at most the difference in patterns. Others do not seem to be high or low.
Taking out the last bag of clothes, Osmanthus looked at Zhang Chunhua, who had been sitting silently, and shoved it into her arms with a smile: "Fourth aunt, this is for you."
"And what about mine?" Zhang Chunhua felt that this was a surprise. When Osmanthus gave Liu Xiulan just now, she wanted to open her mouth, but remembered what her son said last night and still held back abruptly. . She has always had a bad relationship with Osmanthus, and she never thought that Osmanthus would also prepare a copy for herself. After taking a large bag of clothes, Zhang Chunhua looked at Osmanthus embarrassedly: "Look at the four aunts who haven't given it to you for so many years. What did you buy, and it cost you money."
When I heard such words coming out of Zhang Chunhua's mouth, even Mrs. Li couldn't help but look at her more, Osmanthus' smile became more sincere, and her tone was a little more affectionate: "Fourth aunt, this What are you talking about, when Mingdong was studying in Bingcheng, you and Uncle took care of him a lot, and it is my duty to honor you."
Old Mrs. Li also nodded graciously: "The child's heart, you don't want to be an outsider."
After so many years of marriage, it was the first time that Mrs. Li spoke to herself in such a gentle tone, and it was the first time that her nephew and daughter-in-law were so affectionate with him. The bag turned around, looking at his son, daughter-in-law, and smiling kindly at him, his eyes suddenly turned red.
Come over here in a while."
Mr. Li has sharp eyes and bright heart, knowing that Zhang Chunhua is not saving face, she nodded: "Go, we are fine, you can try on clothes with your mother, if If it doesn't fit, let your sister-in-law Osmanthus change it, she has a lot of clothes in the store."
Ming Shu's wife helped Zhang Chunhua to go out. In front of so many juniors, Mrs. Li didn't mention Zhang Chunhua's past, laughing and chatting about other things.
******
After two days of fun, it was finally time for Zhen Zhen to get married. Just before dawn, Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen got up. They washed their faces and combed their hair and put on new clothes. Wang Sufen sat on the chair with her chest covered: "Oh, mother, why am I so nervous? It feels like Mu Wu."
Mrs. Li almost spit out the honey water in her mouth, swallowed it with difficulty and looked at her with joy: "You are excited to be a mother-in-law." Pushing open the window, Mrs. Li took a look Zhen Zhen's room was still dark, she couldn't help jumping: "You said that this child Zhen Zhen doesn't know how nervous she is, she can still sleep even when it's dawn."
Wang Sufen looked in the mirror, tucked her hair with a comb, then rolled up her sleeves and went out: "I'll go and call Zhen Zhen up."
In her sleep, Zhen Zhen looked at the scorched and fragrant roast suckling pig in front of her, drooling. She picked up a knife and fork and cut off a piece of fragrant roast pork. There was an earth-shattering slam on the door: "Zhen Zhen got up! Zhen Zhen, get up quickly!"
The pork on the fork was gone, Zhen Zhen also woke up, ran to the door with pouted mouth and bare feet to open the door, Zhen Zhen looked at Wang Sufen very sadly: "I dreamed of a roasted milk Pigs are very fragrant, and you woke me up before I could eat them."
"What kind of suckling pig is roasting? I think you look like a little pig. What time are you in a hurry?" Looking at Zhen Zhen's bare feet, Wang Sufen hurried to get it She took off her slippers and threw them at her feet: "I told you not to go barefoot. I don't remember. You are about to get married. You can take care of yourself with snacks in the future." Falling down: "Mom won't be able to wake you up and get you slippers in the future."
Zhen Zhen stretched out her hand and embraced Wang Sufen in her arms, her eyes were a little red, but she tried to make her tone lighter: "Look, our two families are now one big yard You are still sad, if I really get married like someone else's family, you must not cry and collapse the wall of our family."
Controlling her tears, Zhen Zhen changed her smile and held Wang Sufen's shoulder: "Aiya, my mother is wearing new clothes today, let me see? Aiya, why are you so handsome, more handsome than the Queen Mother? nice."
Wang Sufen wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and patted Zhen Zhen's back with a smile: "Don't be sloppy, get up and wash quickly, it's time for guests."
As soon as she finished speaking, the alarm in the room rang, Zhen Zhen went over to ring the alarm, and smiled and kissed Wang Sufen on the face: "My mother is always ahead of the alarm clock."
Wang Sufen disliked it and wiped it with a handkerchief: "You haven't brushed your teeth yet."
Zhen Zhen quit immediately: "I don't stink, Mom, you've changed, you actually start to dislike me."
***
With the bursts of laughter coming from Zhen Zhen's house, everyone in the old Li family got up, the nanny made the noodles, and the family ate a little, so they quickly emptied the house Pack up neatly and wait for the guests to come.
Zhen Zhen brushed her teeth again, took the cosmetics she bought from Hong Kong Island and painted her eyebrows and makeup in front of the mirror, Wei Yujin, Xu Jiajia and the others arrived first and saw that Zhen Zhen's hair was still loose, Everyone was anxious: "Why haven't you combed your hair yet?"
Zhen Zhen turned around and smiled after putting on her lipstick: "It's still early." After speaking, she saw a few friends staring at her with their mouths open.
"Isn't it good-looking?" Zhen Zhen was a little confused, she turned her head to the mirror and looked at her makeup. In the early 1980s, people used to put on white faces and blush, but Zhen Zhen used It is the makeup skills of later generations, and the makeup is very natural. No matter how Xu Jiajia and the others looked at Zhen Zhen, it seemed like she had no makeup, but she was extraordinarily beautiful.
"Don't be stunned." Wei Yujin first came back to her senses: "Let's help Zhen Zhen put her hair on a plate first." She found a comb to help Zhen Zhen comb her hair, while looking around: " Where is the big red flower?"
"I didn't prepare big red flowers." Zhen Zhen smiled and turned her head: "I don't have that kind of hair, I have agreed with my sister-in-law about the hairstyle and asked her to help me make a new one. style."
While speaking, Osmanthus came from the main room, holding a box in her hand, Wei Yujin quickly gave up the place. Osmanthus has been practicing with Zhen Zhen's hair in the past two days, and she is already familiar with it. It only took half an hour to have a beautiful bride's head. Open the box, there are a dozen small buckles, which are also inlaid with sparkling diamonds. Wang Sufen fastened the small rings one by one on Zhen Zhen's braid, the sunlight was dazzling and beautiful.
Zhen Zhen has just been cleaned up. Mr. Selfless, a master of literature, Mr. Su Weiran, a master of painting, Mr. Zhang Renze, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, Mr. Cheng Xuewu, a famous master of traditional Chinese medicine, Mr. Xie Shurang, a master of Peking Opera, and Yan Baozhu, a master of Kunqu opera. Just come.
Since Lao Li's family moved to Beijing, Zhen Zhen invites a few gentlemen to sit at home every one or two months, because Mrs. Li is very familiar with them and doesn't see them. Outside, greet them quickly.
The gifts from several gentlemen are relatively expensive, especially the paintings that Su Weiran gave for Zhen Zhen, which are hard to find, so they greeted Mrs. The brocade box was delivered to Zhen Zhen's house.
"Sir." Zhen Zhen was making the final adjustments to her makeup, when she saw the gentlemen coming, she quickly stood up to greet her.
"It's so beautiful." Yan Baozhu took Zhen Zhen's hand with a look of admiration, took a closer look and picked up the eyebrow pencil from the dresser: "I'll fix it for you. "
Zhengme and Su Weiran touched their noses, smiled and shook their heads: "This woman can't move when she sees makeup, let them put it on here, let's go to the main hall for a drink Tea."
Zhen Zhen smiled and pushed Xu Jiajia: "Help me say hello gentlemen."
Yan Baozhu looked at the dazzling cosmetics on the dresser, and she picked up the corners of her eyes, and her smile was not too charming: "Come on, let Mr. make up your makeup."
At the gate, Ming Dong brought a few brothers to greet the guests, Yu Shoujing and a group of colleagues stood at the gate a little dazed: "Does Li Mingzhen really live here?"
"Isn't it written?" The deputy editor-in-chief took out the address in his pocket and looked at it, and then looked at the bustling door and said with certainty, "The designation is correct."
I was greeted in a trance, and as soon as I entered the main hall, I saw everyone sitting in the top row smiling and nodding to him, Yu Shoujing stretched out his hand tremblingly: "Give me the address, I think we will It was designated as the wrong door."
