The motorcycle made a rumbling sound along the way, and it didn't take long to get home.
Xiao Zhen looked at the small brick-concrete building with three floors and a basement, knowing that this was the one his father had worked hard on for half a year.
Walking into the main room, you will see a large sofa, a 21-inch Sony color TV, a large refrigerator, a floor fan and other household appliances.
It seems that Dad is also an audiophile, Xiao Zhen saw a lot of boxes.
I searched my memory and realized that this was also a Japanese-made combination audio system and tape recorder.
This color TV was given to my father by his comrade-in-arms, Uncle Niu, who was his close friend.
Uncle Niu is my father’s comrade-in-arms from Guangdong. Looking back at the memories of the small town, Uncle Niu is a waterman, and his entire village makes a living by doing this.
It turned out to be smuggling. This is too dangerous. Sooner or later something bad will happen even though it makes money.
However, at this time, it is very common to make money through information asymmetry, and it is not shameful at all.
For example, Xiao’s father’s “Gangcheng Clothing” has been making huge profits for two and a half years.
Xiao Zhen was young, and checking his memory was very tiring for him. When he returned home, his mother took him to his Simmons bed and let him have a good rest.
Xiao Zhen knew why he felt tired after checking his memories. It was because his body was too small and the time was too short, so he was still sorting things out slowly.
He decided not to think about other things for a month. Later during lunch, he asked his father Xiao to buy him a Xinhua Dictionary, a notebook, a pen, and other things so that he could start studying on his own.
When he woke up from his drowsiness, it was his father who came in and woke up the tired Xiao Zhen.
After a hearty lunch of meat, fish, old hen soup and seasonal vegetables.
Xiao Zhen consciously went to clean up the dishes, washed the dishes on a small stool, and cleaned the stove.
This series of movements was so smooth that Dad and Mom Xiao were stunned for a long time.
His son is smart and sweet-talking, but he never washes dishes. Now he falls and makes others fall? Does that mean he is hardworking?
This is actually Xiao Zhen's daily habit when living with Uncle Huo, so he does it smoothly.
After his uncle Huo was transferred from the military to the civilian sector, he was very busy. That was the time when they were planning a large-scale crackdown on bandits. You can imagine how busy he was.
"My dear, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just tell me." Xiao's mother held Xiao Zhen and sat on the sofa.
Dad Xiao immediately took the remote control and turned on the power, then handed the remote control to Mom Xiao.
"Hoo-humor!" Xiao Zhen looked at his father's behavior and immediately made this adjective.
Maybe it’s because Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao are in a free love relationship!
Or maybe Xiao's father felt that Xiao's mother raised the child alone until he was over 3 years old, and only then did he retire due to injury to take care of the family.
In short, he felt that his parents were suspected of showing off their love in public.
Only after his mother clicked the channel she wanted to watch did Xiao Zhen break free from her arms and sit next to his father.
"Dad, can you buy me a Xinhua Dictionary, a pen, a notebook and other stationery? I want to learn it myself. I know pinyin." Xiao Zhen said to his father.
"Okay, Dad will go to the Xinhua Bookstore in Jiefangbei to buy it for you after he finishes his work in the city tomorrow." Xiao's father said and touched Xiao Zhen's head.
"Thank you, Dad. I will study hard and I will never climb such a high tree again." Xiao Zhen returned
"I believe my Xiao'er is a good boy who loves to study. Go and have a rest in your own little bed. You should take good care of yourself at home recently." After saying this, Xiao's father took Xiao Zhen's hand and walked him to his own big bedroom on the second floor.
"Dad, you've worked hard these past few days. You should take a nap. You have to get up early tomorrow to work at the stall." Xiao Zhen said and climbed onto the bed.
Dad Xiao suddenly found it difficult to adapt to his son's changed appearance, but such a child is a good child after all.
"Okay, have a good rest, little one. Don't go to kindergarten these few days." After saying this, Mr. Xiao covered his child with a blanket before leaving the bedroom.
"Our son has changed so much!" Xiao Zhengtang remembered that his child had just told him to have a good rest.
Suddenly I felt that no matter how hard or tiring it was for my husband and I, it was all worth it because my son was so sensible at such a young age.
In the evening, neighbors and relatives came to visit Xiao Xiaozhen, carrying canned food, eggs, and sugar.
This was a kind of etiquette at that time. If someone was sick, they would bring some things like this when visiting.
Of course, this was the case when the author was a child in his hometown, and this custom still exists today.
There were five tables of people sitting at dinner that night, including my aunt's family, my grandparents, two uncles, three aunts, and the rest were neighbors and representatives from each production team.
His father has been living with his sister since he was very young.
Because he was an outsider and had no relatives, can you believe that Xiao Zhengtang insisted on finishing high school before joining the army?
Because of his high level of education, he was able to thrive in the army and was even promoted one level when he was injured and discharged.
When he retired, he was treated as a regular company commander, so the local government arranged a job for him, which was as a security officer at Dajiang Factory, which was a regular position.
He observed his relatives and felt that his father was more likely to be listened to and had some prestige among them.
His uncle was a master bricklayer. He had come to the city to find work for others very early on and was the earliest contractor.
His uncle is the village chief in his grandfather's village. His uncle is a relatively easy-going person.
All three of my aunts are very nice, unlike other rural families with many children who make a mess all the time.
His mother's youngest sister, the youngest child, only graduated from junior high school and then stopped studying.
None of his cousins came because they were at school and had no time to come.
