Chapter 264: Youngest, you said you were going to attend that national conference? (Silver Alliance 2nd update)
As dusk fell, Su Wenchen walked on the compacted dirt road and turned into Pingcun Brigade.
It was winter.
The big banyan tree standing at the entrance of the village is no longer seen with the members who usually gather under the tree to chat and relieve boredom.
But it turned into a place where a large group of children played and laughed with each other.
A large group of half-grown children, each holding a wooden stick as a gun, surrounded the big tree and kept shouting "biu! biu!" at each other.
When Su Wenchen approached, he saw that his eldest nephew was also inside. He didn't know where the other party found the urea bag from, but he simply cut it open and draped it over his shoulders as a cloak.
He also held a gun-shaped branch in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Brothers, follow me up the mountain to suppress the bandits! Charge!"
Along with Shitou's shouting, his younger brother, the three-year-old Tietou, who was following behind him, also giggled and waved the branch in his hand.
He kept cheering himself on.
"rush!"
"rush!"
Su Wenchen couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He walked over and covered his head with his big hands.
"You little brat, how old are you and you're already rushing!"
It seemed as if a pair of big hands were covering his head, and Little Tietou pushed Su Wenchen's big hands away with force.
He looked at Su Wenchen with a confused look.
Hearing Su Wenchen's voice, Shi Tou, who had rushed out in front, immediately turned around.
After seeing Su Wenchen, he immediately ran over happily.
"Uncle, you're back! Grandma knew you were coming back today, so she stewed the chicken early in the morning!"
Then he shouted to his playmates in the distance.
"My uncle is back. I don't want to play anymore. I want to go back and eat!"
After he finished speaking, a group of children in the distance also ran over.
After seeing Su Wenchen, he also shouted directly.
"Uncle Chen!"
Su Wenchen nodded.
"Okay, let's all go back and eat! We didn't have any candy this time!"
Hearing this, a child immediately said.
"Uncle Chen, we are all grown-up kids now and we don't eat candy anymore."
"That's right, we don't eat candy anymore, and we've already finished our meal. Uncle Chen, go back and eat! We'll go to your house and watch TV after you finish your meal!"
When Su Wenchen heard this, he immediately understood, and he wondered why they were all gathered at their doorstep!
I've been waiting for a long time to watch TV!
However, the other party actually insisted on waiting until they finished their meal before watching TV. I don’t know if it was Ali’s rule or if these children were taught by their families.
Because in this day and age, unless there is an emergency, it is not polite to go to someone's house during dinner time for normal visits.
Because this will put people in a difficult position. They may not want to invite them, but if they don't, they will feel embarrassed.
So when Su Wenchen looked at these self-conscious children in their team, he felt that they were well educated.
"Okay, go ahead and play first! Come over and watch TV after we finish eating."
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, the children immediately showed happy expressions.
"Yeah, Uncle Chen, go back and eat!"
Then a child said to the small stone beside him.
"Shi Tou, go back and eat. Can you let me wear your cloak for a while?"
"I'll lend you my wooden spear tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Shi Tou was silent for a while before nodding.
"Then be careful, don't wear it out for me."
As he said this, he untied the straw rope from around his neck. Upon hearing this, the other party immediately nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Stone, I won't wear it out for you!"
"Shitou, can you let me wear it too?"
"I want one too. I want one too. I'll trade you my little bow and arrow for the stone!"
Hearing this, Xiao Shitou just waved his hand.
"I've already lent it out today. I'll let you borrow the rest tomorrow. By then, you'll have to exchange something with me before I can lend it to you."
"My uncle once said, there's no such thing as a free lunch!"
Su Wenchen couldn't stop laughing after listening for a long time and touched the other person's head.
"What did I tell you that?"
"Uncle, you forgot. I asked you for an egg, and you told me that. You insisted that I help you collect half a basket of pig grass before giving me an egg."
Su Wenchen scratched his head.
"Really? Why don't I remember it?"
"Okay, let's go back and eat!"
As they talked, the two of them walked towards home.
Tietou, who was following behind, widened his eyes and saw that neither of them paid any attention to him.
He immediately took small steps toward the back of the stone.
Still mumbling.
"Brother, wait for me!"
"wait for me!"
As soon as Su Wenchen walked into the yard, he saw his wife wearing a floral cotton jacket sitting by the stove in the main house.
The clay pot on the stove was bubbling, and the stove on the side of the main room had also been lit. Su's mother was leading her eldest and second sisters-in-law, busy at two large pots.
Su Wenchen sniffed and smelled the aroma of food in the air.
It’s not that the smell is particularly good, but it does give Su Wenchen a sense of security.
So he walked in quickly.
"Oh, Mom, our family has such a wonderful dinner! Is this to welcome me?"
Hearing the sound, the people in the room immediately looked at Su Wenchen who walked in.
The sister-in-law said immediately.
"Mom, do you think I'm right? I meant to do it in front, and it's just right for the youngest to come back. I went to the farm office to ask after I came back, and they said the director went to the pig farm. I guessed he would be back after he finished his inspection."
When Su's mother heard this, she immediately replied.
"You're just lucky. What if something happens to the pig farm?"
When the sister-in-law heard this, she became angry.
"What a blind cat catching a dead mouse! Our piggery is very careful. We have to disinfect and change clothes before entering. It's cleaner than our home. What could possibly happen?"
When Su's mother heard this, she didn't say much and turned to Su Wenchen.
"Youngest, sit by the stove with Xiaoli for a while and warm yourself up."
"Your father and your eldest and second brothers went to the earthworm farm. They said a lot of earthworms were frozen to death. They will probably be back soon."
"We'll have dinner when you get back!"
Su Wenchen responded, walked to the stove, looked at his wife's slightly bulging belly, and a soft curve suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Ali!"
Jiang Li looked at her husband, who was covered in stubble and looked exhausted, with tenderness in her eyes.
Touched Su Wenchen's cheek.
"You've lost weight. Is the food over there bad?"
Hearing his wife's concern, Su Wenchen shook his head.
"The conditions are just enough to get by and have enough to eat!"
"It's really incomparable to our place!"
Then he looked at the other person's little face which was roasted red by the fire.
I unconsciously wanted to lean over and kiss my wife.
As a result, when I just stretched my head halfway, I saw two pairs of very interested eyes on the side.
Seeing Su Wenchen looking at him, Shi Tou immediately said.
"Uncle, do you want to kiss?"
"But isn't there a little brother in my aunt's belly? Will kissing like this make us have two children?"
Uh~
Hearing this, Su Wenchen immediately covered it with his big hands in annoyance!
"Go play somewhere else. Who told you that kissing can give birth to a brother? You need to sleep first. And you think you can give birth to two children? You think this is like taking a car! You can always add more people halfway."
Hearing this, Jiang Li immediately smiled and patted Su Wenchen lightly.
"What are you talking about? Why are you saying this, kid?"
Su Wenchen curled his lips.
"It's only children who need safety education in advance, and who can't teach them that kissing can give birth to a child."
"Stone, let me tell you, kissing is a way of expressing love."
"Usually this kind of intimacy is only used by couples, or by parents and their children to express their love."
Stone was thoughtful.
"Is it like Second Aunt and Little Iron Head?"
Su Wenchen nodded.
"Yes, but generally speaking, as children grow older, they won't use this method to express their love anymore."
"So you go out and find someone to express yourself to,"
"If you express your love to someone else before you're married, you'll be treated as a hooligan and arrested for reform."
"No one will be able to save you then!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su's father's voice was heard in the yard.
"What do you mean by reform, youngest? Has anyone in your field been arrested for being a hooligan to women and sent to reform?"
Looking at Su's father who walked in.
Su Wenchen smiled and waved his hand.
"It's not our business. I'm just giving Shitou a warning. We don't have many people in our family, but this guy is the eldest of the third generation. He has to set a good example for the younger brothers!"
To be honest, Su Wenchen was actually really afraid that something bad would happen in his family, because to be honest, his family had already become a bit of a local tyrant in Lanshui County.
Moreover, he could tell from the time when they were playing at the door that the children were all vaguely led by Stone.
If you grow up in an environment where everyone around you is praising you, and your parents are like, "I will cover for you if anything goes wrong," it is very easy to develop a personality that looks down on everyone.
Su Wenchen doesn't want his family members to become such people.
Hearing this, Father Su also nodded.
"You have a point. The stone needs to be made into an example! What do you think of him joining the army?"
Obviously, for Su's father who has fought for half his life.
Naturally, I was a little disappointed that none of my children had joined the army.
However, Su Wenchen and his two brothers were all unable to endure hardship, so he did not force them. Now that his eldest grandson had grown up under his wing, he took him for morning exercises every morning, so he naturally had high hopes for him.
When the eldest sister-in-law heard what Father Su said, she immediately retorted.
"Dad, you've been thinking about arranging Shitou to join the army all day. I don't agree!"
"His father and I only have this one child, and we've been wanting a second one forever. If anything were to happen on the battlefield, you'd be killing me!"
"I think when he grows up, he can take over my job as an apprentice at the farm canteen. I've already made an agreement with our canteen's chef, Chef Sun. When the time comes, I'll take him in as an apprentice and let him learn the skills of a chef. He'll definitely never have to worry about food or clothing in the future."
"Dad, let me tell you, Master Sun used to be the head chef of a state-owned restaurant. If it weren't for the youngest son's face, he wouldn't be able to pass on his skills!"
Hearing what his sister-in-law said, Father Su opened his mouth.
He also knew that becoming an apprentice to the chef in a farm canteen was indeed a good option.
After all, it is rare for a chef to starve in any era. Generally speaking, if a chef is on the verge of starvation, the others would have collapsed long ago.
So I said it directly with a bit of displeasure.
"Then you have to let him choose for himself. I won't force him."
Hearing what Father Su said, Shitou immediately shouted.
"Master, I want to join the army in the future to defend my country and fight against the Japanese!"
As he spoke, he took out the branch stuck in his waist and compared it with others.
"Biu! Biu! Biu!"
"Besides, I don't want to be a chef and cook for others!"
Hearing this, sister-in-law Li Xiaohe immediately went up and grabbed the other person's ear.
"You want to kill your mother, and you want to go to war!"
"If I say you can't go, then you can't go!"
"No, I'm going! I'm going!"
Seeing this, Su Wenchen quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Alright, alright, he's only thirteen. There are still many years to go!"
"Besides, you don't have to go to the front lines to join the army. There are many technical branches of the military. As our country develops in the future, there will definitely be an increasing demand for highly educated and qualified soldiers."
"Shitou and his classmates have just resumed their junior high school studies. If they study hard, maybe the college entrance examination will be resumed someday."
"When the time comes, try to get into a military academy, and then you can enjoy the good life with me."
Then Su Wenchen said to Shi Tou.
"Study hard, and when you get into military school, these arguments between your mom and your grandpa will naturally disappear."
Hearing Su Wenchen's words, the sister-in-law's eyes immediately narrowed with a smile.
"Youngest, I'll take your good wishes. If you can really get into university, thank God."
"But I heard that the only university left now is the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Can the others be restored?"
Su Wenchen said vaguely.
"They should reply that the talent provided by the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University is totally insufficient."
"Now our farms are in urgent need of talents with various knowledge."
Hearing this, Li Xiaohe was immediately relieved, because in her eyes, Su Wenchen was able to communicate with the leaders above.
There must be information that they don't know.
Following the eldest and second brothers, I washed my hands in the yard.
Su Wenchen said directly.
"Big brother and second brother have finished washing, let's talk while eating!"
After hearing this, a group of people started to get busy.
Finally, an old hen stewed in a casserole was served on the table.
Su Wenchen looked at the table full of dishes and said with a smile.
"It's no worse than previous New Year's Eve dinners! Today is like having an early New Year's Eve dinner!"
Hearing this, the eldest brother laughed immediately.
"This is just the beginning! I have a lamb leg frozen under my eaves! Just waiting to be eaten during the New Year!"
"This year, I drove a tractor to the Lipu Brigade to help them with the autumn harvest. When I passed Pukou, a member's wife was working with a big belly and almost got into an accident. Luckily, I drove by on my tractor and took them to the county hospital."
"The doctor said if it had been ten minutes later, the baby might not have been saved. So the family insisted on giving me a leg of lamb to thank me."
Su Wenchen also smiled when he saw this.
"Brother, you are rewarded for your kindness!"
"But I don't think I'll be lucky enough to get this leg of lamb. I have to go to Beijing for a meeting tomorrow, and I'm not sure if I'll be back for the New Year!"
As soon as the words fell, the whole audience fell silent, and Father Su hesitated.
"What kind of meeting is this? I have to attend it at the end of the year!"
Su Wenchen thought about it and shook his head.
"This is a very important meeting, like the important national agricultural reclamation meetings that you see on TV."
Then he said half-jokingly.
"Who knows, maybe you'll actually be able to see me on TV then!"
“Although I may not be able to speak on it.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table looked at Su Wenchen in shock.
Even Father Su was surprised.
"Youngest, you said you were going to attend that national conference?"
Su Wenchen nodded.
"Well, it's said to be a national agricultural reclamation work promotion meeting. This kind of thing is usually broadcast on television."
"And I'm not thinking about that. I haven't even served tea to my father-in-law since I got married!"
"I'll take advantage of this opportunity to attend the conference and take Ali to Beijing to celebrate the New Year this year."
As soon as he said this, Su Wenchen felt his arm being grabbed. He turned around and looked at Jiang Li's surprised eyes.
He immediately patted the other person's hand.
"After all, I've married someone's daughter, so I have to go to her house at least once."
"If they don't welcome you, then we'll just stop interacting with them."
Hearing Su Wenchen's words, Jiang Li was slightly moved. To be honest, she still missed her father a little.
Because before she met Su Wenchen, the only person she could rely on was her father.
Those complaints were mostly because her importance in her father's heart was not as great as that of the other two people.
Now that I’m married and have my own family, I don’t lack love as much as before.
So compared to before, Jiang Li no longer had many complaints. Of course, she still hated her stepmother very much, after all, she wanted to send her to the frontier.
If her father had been more pliable, he might have really sent it to her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li nodded slightly.
"Alright then, let's go to Beijing for the New Year this year. Didn't I ask my friend to help us collect a lot of materials earlier? This is a great opportunity to thank her in person!"
