Zhou Nanyu from the military unit received two letters from his hometown.
The first letter: "Mom spent five hundred yuan at home to get you a beautiful wife. Hurry home, son!"
T...
Chapter 202 Comrade Liu Rong, do you still remember?
Rong Mei pulled Zhou Nanxu and stood next to Rong Sheng and others.
"Bang!" A loud explosion sounded in my ears, and in an instant, the fireworks rushed into the night sky, turning into millions of colorful meteors, blooming in the air.
"It's so beautiful, Dad. Look quickly." Zhou Dabao sat on Zhou Zhengfu's shoulders, put down his hands that were covering his ears, excitedly shook his father's head with both hands, and bounced his butt on Zhou Zhengfu's shoulders. He pointed at the fireworks blooming in the sky and shared them with his father.
"Dad has seen it. Does Dabao like it?" Zhou Zhengfu held Zhou Dabao's legs tightly, fearing that he would fall.
"Dad, I can't hear you." Unfortunately, Zhou Zhengfu's voice was too soft. Zhou Dabao was already jumping up and down with excitement, and the sound of the fireworks was too loud, so Zhou Dabao couldn't hear clearly what his father said.
"It's okay. When Dad makes money next year, we'll buy fireworks for Dabao to set off during the New Year." Zhou Zhengfu shook his head gently. Although he was talking to Zhou Dabao, it seemed as if he was talking to himself.
His younger brother and sister-in-law now have their own business, Liu Rong's clothing store is doing well, and his younger brother is an officer. He is the worst among the family members. In order not to fall behind, he has made up his mind that next year is a new year, and he must work hard in the new year.
When Zhou Nanxu came to discuss the matter with him a few years ago, he was originally hesitant because the favor was too big and he didn't have the ability to take over. If he messed things up, he would cause trouble for his brother and sister-in-law.
But now he has figured it out and he also wants to make progress. Since his brother and sister-in-law have given him this opportunity, he must seize it and not be a hopeless person.
If you don’t know how to do it, then work hard to learn it, and try not to make any mistakes so that you can be competent for this task.
Only in this way can he give Dabao better living conditions.
If he owes his younger brother or sister-in-law a favor, he should spend the rest of his life trying to repay it. When he has enough ability, he will be able to repay the favor better.
"Hey, it must be the Zhou family who put it there. They are really rich. They even bought this thing."
"Are those fireworks? They are so beautiful. Who is setting them off? Let's go and take a look."
The fireworks set off by the Zhou family alarmed the entire Ertuozi Village. Those who lived far away came out to watch in their own yards, and those who lived closer almost all ran to the Zhou family's yard.
Rong Mei didn't expect that it was just a firework. In the countryside in later generations, as long as fireworks were not banned in those years, almost every household would set off a lot of them during the New Year. It was not something rare, it was just for the atmosphere.
Seeing more and more people coming to her door, Rong Mei realized how rare fireworks were in that era, especially in the countryside.
Liu Rong was also awakened by the continuous banging sounds and walked out of the house while putting on her clothes.
"Grandma, you're awake. Come and see the fireworks. They're so beautiful. My aunt bought them for me." When Zhou Dabao saw them, he immediately rushed towards her, hugged her legs, and excitedly pointed them out to Liu Rong.
The little guy was feeling sorry that his beloved grandma didn't get to see such beautiful fireworks, so he insisted on waking up Liu Rong to watch them. It was not until Rong Mei said that she would leave a box for grandma and let Liu Rong watch it after she woke up that Zhou Dabao gave up.
At this moment, Liu Rong got up by herself and could see more fireworks. Of course, the little guy was excited.
"Oh, okay." Liu Rong touched her eldest grandson's head lovingly.
Looking at the brilliant fireworks blooming in the sky, I felt a little sober, yet a little confused.
After lying down for a while, she was much more sober, but when she saw so many neighbors standing at the gate of her yard, she felt a little "blacked out".
Trying hard to keep going.
A certain "power button" walked up to her and asked her with concern, "Are you okay? Are you still dizzy? How about I get you a chair so you can sit and watch?"
When Liu Rong saw the face of Uncle Li, who was half a head taller than her, her fragmented memories instantly flooded into her mind.
The loud "bang" made her almost unable to stand. She was in no mood to watch the fireworks. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and bury herself on the spot.
This, this...what kind of daring and outrageous thing did she do just now?
Uncle Li saw Liu Rong standing there stupidly and didn't respond to him, so he thought that Liu Rong was still feeling uncomfortable, so he went into the room and brought out a stool, and put it in front of her, "You sit down and watch."
Liu Rong finally reacted and said, "Thank you, please sit down. I'll just stand and watch."
Although she was very polite, Uncle Li still heard the alienation in Liu Rong's tone, which was completely different from the domineering attitude she showed towards him at the table just now.
The light outside was not very good, and Liu Rong could not see the expression on Uncle Li's face clearly. She just felt that he was silent and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
He pulled at his clothes uncomfortably and explained anxiously, "No, I just felt that it was not good for me to sit alone while everyone else was standing."
Although what she did at the dinner table just now was a bit absurd, she did not forget that she had promised Uncle Li, and their current relationship has changed.
Now that she was sober, she just couldn't adapt to the change yet.
This is exactly what Uncle Li is worried about. "Comrade Liu Rong, do you still remember what happened during the meal?"
Although Liu Rong agreed to him in front of everyone at that time, her attitude towards him now was obviously very different from before.
After thinking for a while, Uncle Li pursed his lips and asked this question.
He was afraid that Liu Rong would tell him that she didn't remember, or that it was just nonsense after drinking, and asked him not to take it seriously.
But if that's the case, he can only accept it and can't force Liu Rong to agree.
Uncle Li felt like he was back to the mood he had when he confessed his feelings at the dinner table just now. He was even more nervous than he was then. He just waited for the verdict from the chief officer.
Liu Rong nodded and whispered, "I, I remember it. I haven't forgotten it. I just haven't adapted to it yet."
Clearly, the sound of fireworks mixed with Liu Rong's voice, and Uncle Li couldn't hear clearly what the people around her were saying. But even though Liu Rong spoke in a low voice, Uncle Li still heard every word of Liu Rong's words.
I breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she didn't forget, nothing else would be a problem.
With an irrepressible smile on his face, he said, "It's okay, Comrade Liu Rong. I'll wait for you to get used to it slowly. I can wait for that. I'm already so old and have waited for decades. I might as well wait a little longer. It won't hurt to wait a little longer..."
