Chen's home in Dajiao Village.

"Niannian, read the newspaper again." Qin Mian smiled and urged her husband to read the newspaper. Chen Mian couldn't persuade her, so he had to read the newspaper again.

It was a report about the pearl farm.

Chen Mian said disdainfully: "You yourself are not in the newspaper, why do you read it? When can I see your photo in the newspaper?"

"I'm scared to death when reporters come."

Sister's pearl farm has made a profit, Qin Mian recently received a large dividend, and their family is very happy.

Sister invested so much money in the farm, Qin Mian was terrified when she saw it, and now that she can make money back, Qin Mian's uneasy heart is finally at ease.

Now that the two children have been admitted to the university and the younger sister's factory has made money, their family is really getting better and better.

"They all say that times have changed."

Qin Mian has changed a lot now. She thinks she should keep up with the trend of the times, so she also permed her hair, put on a dacron dress, and now she wears a string of pearl necklaces around her neck.

Qin Mian always feels very uncomfortable when she puts on the necklace. She has to pull it from time to time, leaving red marks on her neck.

"If you know it's a necklace, you might think it's a pig collar if you don't know."

Qin Mian glared at her husband: "Look at what you are saying? Are you still a cultured person? You are too vulgar."

"Is my necklace not good-looking?"

"It looks good, why is it not good-looking." Chen Mian looked at her tenderly.

"I'll get you one next time."

Aunt Fu came to her house and gave her a lot of gifts. When she saw the pearl necklace on Qin Mian's neck, she immediately praised: "Oh, this woman looks so beautiful with pearls!"

"Menlan said that pearls are good for beauty, wear them more often."

"Maybe we can all wear them in the future!"

Aunt Fu and Qin Mian looked at each other and smiled.

"This is only the first batch of pearls, there will be more next year."

"I heard that many factories have opened around?"

"Yes, there are many more pearl farming."

Chen Juanjuan and Chen Jinghua also saw the news about Nandao pearls in the capital. The siblings were very happy. Their aunt and mother made a lot of money from selling the pearls they farmed!!!

"Juanjuan, your mother and I sent you a lot of things."

Chen Juanjuan received her own things. Her mother and aunt brought her a pair of pearl earrings and many beautiful shell-carved head ornaments and hairpins. Chen Juanjuan put on the earrings and pinned the hairpins on her head. As soon as she went out, she attracted a lot of attention.

Chen Juanjuan was originally good-looking. In order to show the pearl earrings, she deliberately put all her hair behind her ears. The pearls reflected strong light under the sun, and the beautiful halo attracted people's attention.

"Juanjuan, what are you wearing on your head? What a beautiful hairpin, where did you buy it?"

"Are those earrings on your ears pearls?"

"They were sent from my hometown."

"South Island pearls."

"They are so beautiful, do you have anything else? Can you give it to me, or sell me a pair of these earrings?"

Chen Juanjuan looked embarrassed: "Not many, just this pair. You have a few other flower-shaped hair accessories on your head."

"We have such a good relationship, please give me one!"

"There are only a few. If I give it to you, what should I do if someone asks me for it again?"

"You said you sold it to me."

"Is this made of pearl shell? So beautiful!"

...

At the end of 1980, Third Sister Lu gave birth to a boy weighing 5.22 jin in the hospital.

Lu Zongyi and his wife, Lu Yan and his wife brought their children to the hospital to visit them. The Tian Dourong sisters were very happy, "We are sisters now!!"

Lu Weizhou: "We have another younger brother."

Lu Weize: "Brother, you only have me as your biological brother, you must be the best to me!"

"Supervise you to do your homework."

Lu Weize: "... I don't want to be in the same class with you."

He could hide his homework from others, but not from his own brother. It's

so troublesome to have a brother, and he doesn't allow his younger brother to copy his homework.

"You don't want to be in the same class with your brother, but you still want to be your deskmate? Bad brother."

Comrade Lu was filled with emotion with another grandson, thinking that there would be enough people to take family photos in the future.

Jiang Ping smiled and said, "Weren't there twenty in the last photo?"

"The baby in the belly counts as one."

Comrade Lao Lu: "..." That's true.

Speaking of this, Qin Rou also remembered, "Zhou Zhou and Dumpling, before you were born, you were also in the newspaper with your mother."

"Newspaper?"

"Yes, in your mother's belly. Your mother still has that newspaper. It was a newspaper from 1971..." Qin Rou remembered that she had saved a lot of photos and various paper materials, and suddenly felt that the camera she bought that year was really worth it.

"It's been almost ten years."

As time goes by, the memories of the past not only remain in people's minds, but also freeze in those photos.

She tore off the old calendar on the wall and replaced it with a new calendar from 1981. In January of that year, a set of zodiac stamps was issued. Qin Rou bought several sets and kept them. She also bought Reader's Digest magazine for her two sons.

A copy of Reader's Digest magazine is only three cents now, which is really cheap.

"Read more, Xiao Dumpling, and save your composition grades."

There are not only many more newspapers and magazines on the market now, but also many martial arts novels. In the past, these martial arts novels were circulated from Hong Kong Island. I heard that martial arts novels will soon be printed and published in China.

Qin Rou got two sets of martial arts novels to kill time.

In addition to martial arts novels, there are also romance novels. After romance novels became popular, there were more and more girls with long straight black hair on the streets. At first, they had permed hair, and now they have long straight hair. The girls all yearn to become pure heroines.

Qin Rou also read a few romance novels of this era. The content is very old-fashioned. The protagonists are all pure, unpretentious, strong and kind female protagonists. The love between her and the male protagonist can break through all obstacles.

Compared with reading romance novels, Qin Rou prefers to read martial arts novels to pass the time.

She and Lu Yan are the only ones who read martial arts novels at home. Lu Weizhou likes to read popular science and science fiction books. Qin Rou took him to the library and borrowed a lot of them. The younger brother Xiao Dumpling likes to read comic books. He holds the comic books and reads them with his two sisters.

The sisters Doudou and Rongrong can recognize a lot of words and count now. They like to play with their two brothers.

They like to play with Dumpling Brother more, because the eldest brother Zhouzhou can teach them to read and count, as well as many things they don't understand. Dumpling

Brother Dumpling Brother was confused and felt confused. Dumpling hugged his sister Dourong and Dumpling'er, thinking that they were three brothers and sisters in distress.

The eldest brother Zhouzhou smiled and watched them play.

Dumpling suggested: "Brother, let's play house bar together."

Lu Weizhou agreed: "Okay."

The four brothers and sisters can play any game together.

Doudou said: "I want to be a grandfather."

Rongrong said: "Then I want to be a grandmother."

Dumpling said: "Then I want to be an aunt."

Lu Weizhou: "... Then what do you want me to be?"

As the eldest brother, he was speechless in the face of such house-playing.

Doudou said, "You are the father."

Lu Weize said, "You are my brother."

Lu Weizhou: "..." Is this why you want to be the eldest aunt?

Now Comrade Lu Weizhou is Qin Ding's father.

Doudou: "I'm going to call Lao Wang, son, come and hold me!"

Little Doudou ran to Lu Weizhou with his short legs and opened his arms to hold him.

Lu Weizhou: "..."

Lu Weizhou could only hold his sister in his arms helplessly. Doudou was very happy and smiled like a little fox.

Rongrong ran to her dumpling brother and said, "Brother, you have a baby in your belly." "

Sit down quickly."

Lu Weize: "..."

Lu Weizhou: "..."

The two brothers looked at each other and suddenly didn't want to play house with their sisters anymore.

Qin Rou and Lu Yan came back from running, and saw the four kids playing house together.

The scene looked very warm.

Qin Rou wiped the sweat off her face and said to Lu Yan with emotion: "It's so happy to play with brothers and sisters. Was it the same with you when you were a child?"

"There's not much difference in age, so we can just play together."

Doudou said happily: "Daughter-in-law, you're back!!"

Qin Rou: "..."

Lu Yan: "..."

Lu Weizhou coughed: "Now I'm the dad."

Lu Weize: "I'm the aunt."

Rongrong: "Mom is back, I want to be her good daughter!"

"It's so tiring to take care of brother. Sometimes he wants this, sometimes he wants that."

Lu Weize: "..."

Qin Rou: "...What are you playing? Can our Rongrong take care of brother?"

Lu Weizhuo said: "Playing house. Doudou is the grandpa, Rongrong is the grandma, Dumpling is the aunt, and I am the dad."

Qin Rou: "..."My children really know how to play.

Lu Yan: "...Now that mom and dad are back, Zhou Zhou, you change your identity." Lu

Weizhou: "I want to be Jiaozi."

Lu Weize: "Then I'll be Zhou Zhou, you go recite my homework!!! Go finish the composition that Jiaozi has to write today!"

Doudou ran to Qin Rou's side: "I want to be Mom's good daughter, too."

"Okay, Mom's two good daughters."

Lu Yan interrupted: "Don't you want Dad?"

"Yes!"

Several sons and daughters lived together in the military school's family building. In May of 1981, Guangzhou's first commercial housing community was about to open for sale.

Lu Yan and Qin Rou took their two children to buy a house.

There were quite a lot of Guangzhou residents looking at houses at this time. The price was 751 square meters. A house of 100 square meters would cost about 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, and there were also many small houses of 50 to 60 square meters.

At that time, there was no so-called public area for houses, and the indoor area was the actual area.

So a house of 50 to 60 square meters was considered pretty good.

"Do you want to buy a house?" There were quite a lot of people looking at houses, but there were also many who were hesitant to buy. Many people in Guangzhou have made a lot of money in the past few years, but it was a bit painful to buy a house that cost tens of thousands of yuan.

Lu Yan and Qin Rou were determined to buy a house, so they took the children to choose a house. At present, it was an eight-story house. They had chosen one and were discussing which floor to choose.

"I want to live higher!" Most houses are low nowadays, and living in a high-rise building is what many people yearn for.

"Too high is not suitable."

"Then let's go to the fifth floor."

They bought their first commercial house, the fifth floor, 110 square meters, with a down payment of 40,000 yuan and the rest mortgaged.
