Qin Rou and her husband took their four children to the family building. When they entered the house, Doudou and Rongrong hugged their mother's thighs and started to cling to her. "Mom, we need to braid a beautiful braid."
"Weave a braid."
These two little girls are also very cunning. They know that their parents have to cling to each other every time they meet. They are small and cannot compete with their tall and strong father. When they return home, their mother belongs to them.
The braids braided by their mothers at home are the most beautiful! !
"Okay, wait for mommy to take a bath, and then I'll braid your hair."
This is an old tradition every time they come. Her two vain little daughters like to dress up beautifully, wear nice clothes, braid their hair beautifully, and be clean.
I don't know if it's because Qin Rou was always thinking about Zhenzhu when she was pregnant, so these two little guys are so vain.
"Take a bath with mommy!"
"Mommy will take you to take a bath together."
Lu Yan knew that she had to take a bath when she got off the car and returned home. Only after washing off the dust on her body would she get close to her daughters.
She has a serious idol burden, and she must become a fragrant mother before hugging her daughters.
"You say your daughter is vain, but aren't you one yourself? You are the cleanest vain mother in the world, and aren't you the most particular one in our family?"
"The children are still young, and I'm afraid they might pass on germs. Wash them thoroughly before kissing our sweet Dourong babies."
"Do Doudou and Rongrong like a mother who smells good?"
"They like a mother who smells good."
...
Qin Rou is indeed very particular. She takes her two little daughters to take a bath together. The mother and daughter have no other hobbies but to take a bath. For this reason, Qin Rou even asked Lu Yan to prepare a super large bathtub. Before she comes back every time, she has to wash her daughter-in-law thoroughly and boil the hot water in advance.
After Qin Rou and her two little girls washed themselves with soap, Qin Rou held her two little girls in her arms and took a bath in the clean hot water, quietly enjoying a comfortable time.
Wooden toys with sweet bean paste floated on the water.
"Mom, little duck..."
"Yeah, little duck." Qin Rou smiled and pinched the two daughters' pink faces.
"Mom, kiss."
Zhou Zhou and Dumpling, the two little guys, didn't take a bath. As soon as they arrived at the military academy, they brought basketballs and several sons of the Zheng family to the basketball court and sweated. They would definitely come back with a sweaty body later.
The water temperature turned cooler, Qin Rou took her two little daughters out, and the three of them squeezed on the sofa. Qin Rou had a towel on her shoulders, and her long black hair fell on her shoulders. She wiped the hair of the two little ones.
Doudou and Rongrong both liked their mother's long hair. After knowing that she was vain, they liked to cut their hair less and less. They must keep beautiful long hair and comb beautiful small braids.
"Mom, I want to tell you a story."
"Little Mermaid Bubble..."
...
Lu Yan was kneading dough in the kitchen and heard the noise outside. He walked out and stood at the corner of the kitchen door looking at the living room. Three people, one big and two small, were crowded on the sofa. They had similar eyebrows and eyes. Doudou and Rongrong were vying to get into their mother's arms, kicking their little feet in the air.
"Don't pull mom's hair!"
"Who is secretly pulling mom's hair? Is it Doudou or Rongrong?" Qin Rou sat cross-legged on the sofa, with her long hair hanging down behind her. The sweet Dourong sisters in front of her looked up at their mother with innocent faces.
Their little faces were chubby and their eyes were watery, as if they were trying to defend themselves: It wasn't me!
Qin Rou pretended to turn away, but a moment later, she felt someone pulling her long hair.
She felt angry and amused.
As soon as they turned around, the two little guys put on innocent faces again.
"Confess and be treated leniently, resist and be treated severely. Doudou and Rongrong, tell me who did it honestly?"
"Doudou did it."
"Doudou did it."
Qin Rou smiled, "Then who is Doudou?"
The two sisters pointed at each other, "She is Doudou."
"This is endless, isn't it? Then mommy, point at them, whoever you point at is Doudou."
The two pairs of twins at home seem to have turned into Tathagata Buddha and Guanyin every day to distinguish the two real and fake Sun Wukongs.
These two little girls in their family are cute and naughty, and they are also deceptive. For example, after doing something bad, they will put on an innocent face to say that they didn't do anything and they are very good.
"She is Doudou." The biological father Lu Yan came over and stretched out a hand covered with flour towards the mother and daughter.
When the two sisters Tian Dourong saw their father's hand, they immediately turned pale, just like Sun Wukong who heard the spell of tightening the hoop, twisting their bodies like little meat worms to hide behind their mother.
The pair of Tian Dourong, who were washed white, didn't want to be covered with flour.
"Dad, go away!!"
"Ah, Mom, help me!"
"Dad, go away, go away!"
Qin Rou stood in front of them like protecting two little chicks. She looked up and confronted Lu Yan, and saw the other's hand covered with flour from a close distance.
Lu Yan's hands are very beautiful, with long fingers and distinct joints, which look especially good when he plays the violin. However, his hands are covered with flour, which makes it impossible to appreciate his hands. It only feels like his hands are dropping flour all the time.
"Go back to the kitchen to knead your steamed buns, and don't bother with our mother-daughter business." Qin Rou, who was well-washed, also disliked the other party's hands covered with flour. She shrank back, stretched out her clean feet, and kicked Lu Yan's waist.
"Be careful with your flour, don't get it on me!!"
"You are such a traitor, you don't know the good in people's hearts. I protected you with good intentions and didn't let you be bullied by my daughter, but you chased me away." Lu Yan smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch Qin Rou's face, leaving three white marks cruelly.
Qin Rou covered her face: "!!!!" She
was careless and got flour all over her face.
Doudou and Rongrong cheered: "Mom has turned into a little cat!"
"You two little heartless girls, you three are in the same gang!"
Doudou said, "We are in the same group as mom."
Rongrong said, "Dad is bad!"
"Dad is bad, show you." Lu Yan pinched a face with one hand and smeared it evenly on the faces of the two daughters, and now they all turned into little cats.
He raised his handsome eyebrows, smiled arrogantly, and nodded, "Well, the three of us, mother and daughter, must be neat and tidy."
The two sisters Tian Dourong screamed together:
"Ah, bad dad!"
"Bad dad!"
...
"Bad dad, go away, go away." Qin Rou stretched out her hand to chase him away, but Lu Yan pointed at his face. Qin Rou had no choice but to kiss him twice on the cheek in front of her daughters.
"Mom, I want a kiss too."
"I want a kiss from you."
"Your face is covered with flour, so I won't kiss you. Let's go wash your face together."
Zheng Mantang lives on the first floor. He looked at the playground not far away and saw several children playing basketball. Among them, the twins were particularly outstanding. They were only seven or eight years old, but they were as tall as his ten-year-old son.
Although he had five sons, none of them were very tall. They had big appetites and were naughty and mischievous on weekdays. His father was worried that he could no longer afford to support them.
When I arrived at this school, no one envied him for having five sons. Instead, everyone envied the Lu family for having two sons and two daughters. The sons were raised so well. The elder brother, Lu Weizhou, was a very good eldest brother. He had good grades in school, was polite, and took care of his younger siblings...
Why didn't such a good son belong to his family?
Zheng Mantang sighed and said to his wife Tang Yurong, "Don't you think it would have been great if we had three sons and two daughters?"
"Don't you like sons? Having so many sons will cause you enough worries in the future."
Zheng Mantang lit a cigarette. He looked at Tang Yurong's hair, his eyebrows twitching, "How come you have a head full of wool?"
"You old-fashioned man, stop talking here. I'm getting my hair permed." Since Qin Rou got her hair permed and came to the family building, several people also got their hair permed. Tang Yurong couldn't help but got a perm on her head.
After getting her hair permed, Tang Yurong felt that she was a completely different person. Every time she looked in the mirror, she felt that she no longer looked like the country woman she used to be, but had become a modern lady in the new society.
Now her days were no longer spent on her five sons, and she began to pay attention to the dressing of the women in the neighborhood.
"I hope our sons can be more successful and marry some beautiful wives."
After playing ball, the brothers Lu Weizhou and Lu Weize were sweating all over and followed the Zheng family's children back to the family building. When they went upstairs, they took two steps and arrived at the door in a few steps.
Lu Yan opened the door for them.
"Mom, sister, we are back!"
Zhou Zhou and Dumpling were sweating. When they walked into the living room, they wanted to reach out to tease their sister, but the sisters Tian Dou Rong were ruthless and quickly hid behind their mother.
"Brother is too smelly, don't come over, we are taking a shower with mom."
"Bad brother, go away!"
"Bad brother, go away!"
Lu Weizhou and Lu Weize: "..."
"When you just came back, you said you loved your brother the most, but now you dislike your brother?"
"Bad sister."
"Two little conscienceless ones."
Qin Rou smiled at the brothers and said, "Hurry up and take a shower, be careful not to catch a cold."
"It stinks, it stinks." The sisters Tian Dou Rong covered their noses.
"Stinky brother."
"Go wash your clothes."
The family ate steamed buns and dumplings in the evening. The old Lu couple raised a few big white geese in the school. Today, they killed a big white goose, and Qin Rou made sour plum goose and stewed pig's trotters.
Because the goose is relatively large, a large pot of sour plum goose was cooked. This pot of sour plum goose was particularly beautiful in color and full of rich fragrance. The sauce was all over the goose meat, and the sour fragrance was fragrant.
Qin Rou and her two daughters all like to eat sour and sweet meat dishes such as sour plum duck and sour plum goose.
It tastes better when the sour plum goose is wrapped in the steamed buns made by dad!
The two sisters, Tian Dourong and Tian Dourong, each had a bowl of big dumplings. The younger sister Rongrong held the dumplings and deliberately said to her brother Lu Weize, "Look, dumpling brother, big dumplings!"
"Awoo! Eat dumplings!" Rongrong performed a "lady cherry mouth turned into a bloody mouth" for her brother, swallowing the big dumplings into her mouth in one gulp, and eating so much that both sides of her face were bulging.
Doudou was not willing to be outdone, and also picked up a big dumpling and shouted "Awoo", "Eat dumplings!!"
Lu Weize: "..."
Two bad sisters!
Dumpling looked at his brother Lu Weizhou: "Brother, you don't care about them, but they dare to bully your brother."
"Do you think you are the only ones who have brothers? I have a brother too, brother! They bully me."
Lu Weizhou said calmly: "Aren't you Zhouzhou?"
"I am your brother!"
Doudou said: "Brother Zhouzhou is also our brother!"
Rongrong said: "I have two brothers, and you only have one brother!"
Lu Weize: "..."
"Brother, you only have me as your brother, you have to love me."
Rongrong said: "I also only have brother Dumpling, brother Dumpling has to love me."
Lu Weize said with relief: "Doudou and brother are still the best."
"I am Rongrong, bad brother!"
"Why did you switch places with your sister?"
…
When these four siblings get together, they are a mess. They don’t need adults to supervise them at all. They can talk to each other and the two pairs of identical twins are all big liars.
They often deliberately imitate their older brothers or sisters, or brothers or sisters make an agreement to pretend to be each other. Sometimes they act so well that they even imitate the other person’s expressions and way of speaking.
“Brother Dumpling, Doudou wants a hug.”
"No, I want to hug my brother too."
"Lu Dumpling, be serious!"
"Did you hear that, Lu Dumpling?"
Qin Rou sat next to Lu Yan, and the couple whispered to each other, ignoring the four kids.
Qin Rou pinched Lu Yan's butt.
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows: "Do you know who our daughters look like? Just like their mother, naughty and bad."
"Humph, you are not satisfied with such a big piece of meat."
"If you are not dissatisfied, then I will kiss you with my mouth that has eaten goose buttocks, and kiss you all night long."
Qin Rou: "...Can you please not say such unpleasant things?"
The old Lu couple were eating nearby. Lu Zongyi and his wife Jiang Ping sighed: "It feels like going back to the past."
"Yanzi and Xiaozi quarrel every day."
...
When the family was having dinner, there was a knock on the door. Lu Yan went to open the door and found that it was Chen Mulan, the daughter-in-law of Yang Chuanzong's family across the street, who was knocking on the door.
Qin Rou also walked over to see what was going on.
"What's wrong? Who is it?"
When Chen Mulan saw Qin Rou, she deliberately showed a surprised look: "Xiao Qin is back, no wonder the children didn't come to our house to watch TV today."
"Sister Chen, did you buy a TV?" Qin Rou asked.
"Yes, it's popular outside now, an imported color TV. My little son wants to watch it, so we gritted our teeth and bought it!"
"You can come to our house to watch TV later. It's a color TV, different from black and white TV."
"It costs more than 3,000 yuan." Chen Mulan said this scary price, waiting to see the woman in front of her look surprised.
She came here to show off. Knowing that Xiao Qin was coming today, she wanted to show off her new imported color TV in front of her.
This thing is really too expensive.
If it weren't for the sake of showing off, and if it wasn't for the fact that their little baby liked it, Yang Chuanzong and his wife really wouldn't have been willing to spend so much money to buy a color TV. These few thousand yuan can be said to be their savings for several years.
After buying it home, the couple regretted it for most of the night, but in front of outsiders, they got carried away.
In the past, there were only two daughters in the family. Chen Mulan finally gave birth to a boy, Xiaobao, and the couple treated him like an eyeball. Xiaobao kept asking to watch a color TV, so they bought a color TV
. Since they bought this color TV, they have become celebrities in the family building. There are five sons in the family, but they can't afford this imported color TV.
The couple wanted everyone to know that their family had bought a color TV.
"It's so expensive!" Qin Rou sighed after hearing the price.
"Xiao Qin, your daughter also likes to watch color TV, why don't you buy a TV for your children? Young people like you like this kind of trendy things the most, this is imported from abroad..." Chen Mulan's husband Yang Chuanzong came out of the house, his face beaming with joy as he spoke.
"I'll buy one for the kids later."
Qin Rou had thought about buying a TV before, but now she was in college, Lu Sanjie's family bought a black and white TV, and Lu Yan now lived in the school's family building. The family felt that there was no need to buy a TV. She thought that the two little girls at home were still young, and it was not suitable for children to watch too much TV when they were three or four years old.
After showing off their color TV to the neighbor's house, Yang Chuanzong and his wife happily returned to the house. The family turned on the imported color TV. Xiaobao's grandmother held Xiaobao out to watch TV, and the two daughters at home, Zhaodi and Pandi, ignored everything else and came over to watch TV.
Yang Chuanzong looked at the color screen in front of him, feeling proud and heartbroken. This imported TV was too expensive, and he had spent all the money he had saved for two or three years.
Chen Mulan asked him, "Do you think the neighbors will buy a color TV?"
Although the couple was proud of having a color TV, they also hoped that others would buy one. To buy such a color TV, they would give away two or three thousand yuan. How big of a deal was that? They
were really crazy to buy the color TV.
Even though they received many people's "envious eyes", the pain like cutting flesh could not be relieved.
"I don't think so. I heard that Xiao Qin, the daughter-in-law of Lao Lu, who is a college student, is going to open a factory. She spent a lot of money, but it may not be successful."
"At least we can enjoy the two or three thousand yuan we spent on the color TV. We don't know how to do business, but at least we won't lose everything..."
Lu Yan and Qin Rou closed the door and went back.
Qin Rou didn't expect that the Yang family next door, who always lived frugally, would actually buy a color TV. In this era, imported color TVs are expensive and... Although Qin Rou felt that it was not worth it, it was a very proud thing to have a color TV at home in this era.
Since the economic opening, people around us seem to be more and more willing to spend. With the new things outside hitting the market, everyone is getting bolder and bolder, entering a state of blind and frenzied consumption.
Just like the one next door, they used to be reluctant to eat an extra egg or order milk, but in this crazy atmosphere, they are willing to take out the three thousand yuan they have saved for several years to buy a color TV to take home.
"Mom..."
Doudou and Rongrong stretched their heads, "Is it sister Pan Di's house?"
"She has a TV."
"Color!"
Qin Rou asked them, "Do you want to watch a color TV too?"
The sisters Doudou and Rongrong nodded.
Lu Weize asked curiously, "Mom, should we buy a TV?"
Lu Weizhou said, "TVs are too expensive. An imported one costs two or three thousand."
Although they all wanted to watch TV, the kids knew that color TVs were expensive.
Xiao Dumpling suggested, "Let's buy a domestic black-and-white TV for the sisters to watch."
"Let Mom think about it..."
As soon as Qin Rou said this, the other children immediately pricked up their ears, "Should we buy a TV?"
"Buy a TV!"
...
Qin Rou could already see the desire of these young guys for TV. She, who had come back from decades ago, did not have the urge to watch TV. She missed playing with her phone more.
At night, Qin Rou told stories on the big bed of the couple to coax Doudou and Rongrong to sleep. The two little sisters slept on the bed with their legs spread out, and the mother and daughters occupied the entire big bed.
Lu Yan walked in and saw that both daughters were coaxed to sleep. He moved the two daughters out of the room in two batches.
Qin Rou laughed at him: "You don't have to be so careful, your two daughters are sleeping like dead pigs."
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows: "It's better to be safe than sorry."
"We can't let these two little guys ruin their father's good deeds." Lu Yan climbed onto the bed and hugged the sweet and soft woman beside him.
Late in the night, the couple can finally be intimate for a moment.
Qin Rou hugged his neck and told him about the pearl farm. She couldn't help laughing and fell into Lu Yan's arms, "It's a black-hearted workshop opened by my husband and me."
"What black-hearted workshop? You are so naughty." Lu Yan raised his hand and scratched her nose.
"It's all your money, it's your boss Lu's black-hearted workshop." The couple has been married for many years and has saved nearly 20,000 yuan, most of which they are now going to invest in the breeding factory. "
Isn't my money all your money, Boss Qin?"
"Really, I'm still quite worried." Qin Rou hugged Lu Yan's neck, "What if our black-hearted workshop fails to raise pearls and goes bankrupt? How can your brother Lu be so bold and let Comrade Xiao Qin spend money recklessly?"
"Didn't you say it yourself, to seek wealth in danger." Lu Yan was very supportive of Qin Rou's proposal to open a pearl factory. As long as his wife wanted to do it, he would support her.
"Pray with me that our black-hearted workshop can produce countless pearls."
"It's obviously our hard-earned factory, why are you still calling it a black-hearted workshop?"
"It's better to give it a bad name so that it can survive." Although Qin Rou is 80% confident that her farm will never go bankrupt, there are always unexpected things, and it's hard to say what will happen in the future.
Buying and selling business is to seek wealth in danger.
Don't look at how many people get rich overnight now, but wealth doesn't last long. Sudden wealth and sudden bankruptcy are the norm in the 1980s and 1990s.
The first person to try it made money, and countless people followed suit. In this disorderly market, with all kinds of vicious competition, it's really hard to say who will have the last laugh in the end.
"You look great in pearls." Lu Yan pressed the person under him, lifted the long hair by her ears, revealing the woman's plump earlobes, and lowered his head to bite them.
"If you can't sell these pearls, you and your daughter will wear five or six strings of pearl necklaces around your neck, seven or eight pearl bracelets on your wrists, pearl hairpins, and pearl belts..."
Qin Rou was almost laughing to death at what he said: "Then my daughter and I will become local tycoons."
"Yes, Pearl Roumei and Pearl daughter."
"Lu Yan...what do you think we should do if we really lose all our money? Your salary for so many years will be wasted like this."
"Will you blame me?"
"Why should I blame you? Blame you for not buying a color TV?" Lu Yan kissed her, "If not, then start from the beginning."
"Brother Lu, you are really good at talking. Every time you talk, Roumei feels safe."
"Really? You told me to shut up before."
"Who told you to keep silent?"
Qin Rou rubbed his head. Lu Yan's hair was not long and prickly. Qin Rou had seen many men with long hair and pine-skin hairstyles in school. She felt that she could not keep up with the trend of the times and still liked her brother Lu's neat and tidy short hair. He still
had such a handsome face. She smiled and kissed the tip of his nose.
"My son and daughter said they wanted to buy a TV. Brother Lu, do you think we should buy one?" Although she had invested most of her money in the pearl farm, Qin Rou still had several thousand left just in case.
"You are the leader in our family. The leader makes the decisions. The captain and the captain all listen to the leader."
"Then think about it again and buy it after a while." Qin Rou thought that she had to think of some ways to make money. It would be a waste to keep these thousands of yuan as capital and buy a color TV directly.
The pearl breeding factory has not produced yet, but the consumption enthusiasm of the family has been raised. In the future, the family will have to buy a lot of things, so she has to think of ways to make money.
Now the first commercial housing community in Guangzhou is going to start collective construction. It is estimated that it will be put on sale in 1981. Qin Rou also plans to buy a house in Guangzhou.
Even if the price of a house in this era is 500 to 600 yuan per square meter, it would cost 60,000 to 70,000 yuan to buy a house. Add in other decoration appliances and sofas, and it is not a small amount.
"Leader, please consider it later. Let's get down to business now." Lu Yan did not turn off the light. Under the warm yellow desk lamp, the fiery color burned his body.
A short separation is better than a new marriage. Brother Lu could not bear it any longer.
"Be gentle..."
Lu Yan responded with a humming sound, but in fact he couldn't be gentle. After not seeing each other for such a long time, it would be unreasonable to make such a high request.
The next day, Qin Rou slept until noon. The man beside her had long disappeared, leaving only the two little daughters who ran into the room to accompany their mother.
"Mom, your butt is getting hot in the sun."
"Mom, you're so lazy."
Qin Rou complained to herself. Mom was so lazy because of your dad.
"Mom, were you bitten by a mosquito?"
"Yeah, it was a big blood-sucking mosquito."
...
"What are you teaching your daughter?" Lu Yan walked into the room carrying a plate of shrimp dumplings.
"My daughter and I were playing house. They said that mom is sick and we need to cure her."
Doudou touched Qin Rou's forehead and exclaimed, "Oh no, she has a fever of 40."
Qin Rou: "..."
"Mom, take medicine!"
Rongrong said, "Mom, drink water!"
"Dad is a nurse, feed mom medicine."
Qin Rou almost laughed to death, "Little nurse, come and feed the patient medicine!"
Little nurse Lu Yan: "..."
He fed Qin Rou a shrimp dumpling with a spoonful. When the two sisters Tian Dou Rong saw their mother taking medicine, they suddenly became envious.
Rong Rong touched her head: "Little nurse, Rong Rong also has a fever and needs to take medicine!"
Qin Rou: "..."
Little nurse Lu: "..."
Appreciate their clever daughter.
"Little nurse, are you hungry for your daughter?"
"It's the piglet you gave birth to."
