Zhou Yuan returned home, put down the wooden box, and was about to go to the yard to catch his breath and chat with his father.
My younger sister Zhou Xiaoyu, who is in junior high school in town and is now on summer vacation, was playing outside.
When she heard that her brother had returned, she opened her arms and stepped forward with her legs, and flew back like a little swallow.
Even as he was still at the door, a clear and pleasant voice had already echoed in the yard: "Brother, comrade, come back and buy me something delicious?"
"How old are you now? I bought you delicious food? You're not a child anymore."
Zhou Yuan looked at his smiling little sister standing at the gate of the yard and teased her deliberately.
After not seeing you for a few months, my little sister has not only grown taller, but also become prettier.
Girls aged thirteen or fourteen are at a time when they change every day and are influenced by the wind!
With good genes, both parents are tall. It is obvious that in two years, Lin Xiaoyu will grow up to be the most beautiful girl in the village.
Seeing that his little sister was so cute and pretty, Zhou Yuan was in a good mood and wanted to tease her even more.
"Boss, this is where you're wrong, isn't it? Is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl that big of a figure?"
You study so hard every day, what's wrong with eating some good food?
I called you brother a few times, but you must be a contractor outside, right?
You didn't even buy me something delicious when you came back, and you still have the nerve to ask me to continue calling you brother?"
Zhou Xiaoyu is the kind of girl who speaks her mind. She is young, outspoken, and not very cunning. In addition, she used to be naughty in front of her brother.
Now that everyone has grown up, they see each other less often, but the affection between brother and sister is still there, so she still speaks directly and playfully.
"You can eat if you want. Even if I don't buy anything now, I can buy it at the market tomorrow.
The key is that another semester has passed. How are your grades? Do you deserve to eat good food?
"As for my grades, it's the same as always. I'm still in the top three in the class and top ten in the grade. Doesn't that mean I'm entitled to good food?"
Zhou Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue, made a weird face, and smiled mischievously.
"Not bad. Considering your performance, I bought you a bag of White Rabbit candy. I bought it specially from the store at the provincial bus station."
After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he walked into the house and opened the wooden box. In addition to the White Rabbit milk candies, he and his little sister also bought a mirror, a comb, a hairband, and a pencil case.
"Wow, boss, that's great! I was just worried about my broken pencil case and I had no money to buy a new one, and you bought it for me. You're like a worm in my stomach. You understand me so well, boss. Thank you!"
Zhou Xiaoyu excitedly took the thing from her brother's hand. Her little face was as bright as a flower and her mouth was sweeter than honey.
"Classmate Zhou Xiaoyu, will you still call me brother this time?"
Zhou Yuan looked at his sister's excited expression and teased.
"Scream, keep screaming. You're my brother, how could I not scream, right?"
Lin Xiaoyu skipped back to the house with her things in her hands, humming a song.
Since the big tiled house was built, Zhou Xiaoyu has her own independent room, which makes her very satisfied.
Back in the house, he looked at the White Rabbit milk candy in his hand, quickly took out one, tore open the candy wrapper and put it in his mouth.
Wow, so sweet!
Zhou Xiaoyu was eating White Rabbit milk candy and felt so sweet inside.
Outside, Zhou Yuan took out the gifts he bought for his father and mother.
Dad's got two packs of good Daqianmen cigarettes, and Mom's got a pair of shoes and a pair of gloves.
The kind with rubber gloves you wear for washing dishes.
This thing was a rare item back then and was not sold in the general market.
"You said you were coming back, kid, so why did you buy so many things? Do I need these rubber gloves?"
Mom Liu Caijuan held the things excitedly, but she didn't stop nagging. However, her words were obviously inconsistent with her thoughts.
Not to mention my father Zhou Yimin. Although he knew that Daqianmen was a good cigarette, he still said in a bad mood:
"Why buy this thing? It's a complete waste of money. I'm used to smoking dry tobacco, and this thing is stronger and has a better flavor.
Although your stuff is expensive, I am not used to smoking it."
"Dad, don't I always tell you in my letters not to smoke this kind of cigarette?
This type of cigarette has a very high tar content, and you smoke it so frequently, it will cause great harm to your body. How about switching to smoking paper cigarettes in the future?
At least it will be less harmful to the body than smoking dry tobacco."
Zhou Yuan tried to persuade his father tactfully, but his father still refused to accept his advice and shook his head in disdain.
"What the hell! Who among the older generation didn't smoke this kind of stuff? I haven't seen many people die from it.
Young people smoke fake foreign brands, but they have no flavor at all, they are so bland, what's the point of smoking them?"
Zhou Yimin said this, but he happily went back to the house with the Daqianmen cigarettes.
Zhou Yuan bought two packs from him at once, which was a considerable sum of money. If he wasn't a reborn person with a warehouse and a construction site, how could ordinary people afford to smoke such good cigarettes?
Back then, the leader’s cigarette box contained two kinds of cigarettes, one was Great China and the other was Da Qianmen.
When I meet guests, I smoke Da Zhonghua, and on other days I smoke Da Qianmen.
Looking at his father's back as he returned to the house, Zhou Yuan could only shake his head and sigh.
Oh, the generation gap.
Dad didn't listen, and he had no other choice, so he said to Mom very tactfully: "Mom, please persuade Dad to smoke less dry tobacco. Doesn't he enjoy smoking cigarettes?"
"What's the point of me trying to persuade you? You know your father's character. He's a man who insists on going down a certain path and can't be persuaded by nine oxen. Talking to him is like talking to a cow."
Liu Caijuan finished speaking in frustration, then suddenly slapped her forehead and exclaimed, "I almost forgot about the food in my pot. It's burnt."
After saying that, he rushed into the kitchen.
When my son came back, I didn't prepare any delicious dishes. People weren't like they are now. Every household has a refrigerator or freezer with a lot of frozen things. I could just take out a few and cook it.
So Liu Caijuan could only take out a few eggs and make her specialty: poached eggs.
When Ouyang Xiaomei returned home, her mother saw that she was thinner and tanned than before, and said with some heartache:
"I say, girl, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? You don't even want to work in the restaurant, but you go out to work on a construction site. Is there anything a girl like you can do on a construction site?
Look at how tanned you are."
"Mom, what are you nagging about? I'm hungry. Hurry up and get me something to eat."
Ouyang Xiaomei sat on the chair somewhat listlessly, took out the gifts he bought for his parents from the box, and urged his mother to prepare food for him quickly.
It was almost dark and no one was eating in the restaurant.
In fact, except for market days, business in the store is usually very slow.
This is also one of the reasons why Ouyang Xiaomei wants to leave her own restaurant and go out to work hard.
Of course there is a more important reason, she likes this guy Zhou Yuan.
However, after following for a few months.
What made Ouyang Xiaomei discouraged was that she clearly felt that she had been treated coldly. It was really like the flower has feelings but the water is merciless!
well!
