At around 6 p.m., Sun rushed home slightly drunk. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father nailing a sledge in the outhouse.
He walked over and couldn't help but ask: "Dad, summer is coming soon, what are you doing with this thing?"
When Sun Guofu heard his son's voice, he raised his head and replied: "I just happened to get off work early today. If I have time, I will nail one so that I can save it in the winter and let others borrow it~"
"Son, I heard your mother say you went to see your sister?"
"Well, I went. I came back from Chifeng today and happened to pass by there~" Sun Qianchao didn't even enter the house after finishing speaking. He found a small stool and sat down.
"Did your sister tell you what happened to her and Xiaofan? The child is really nice. He has been coming here frequently in the past few months, and he even came here yesterday~" Sun's father was busy with his work while chatting with his son.
Sun Qianchao felt a little melancholy: "I asked about this too, but she always said she wouldn't let it go~"
Sun Guofu paused after listening to the movements of his hands, and sighed in his heart. The gap between the two families was still too big. He was a worker, while the other party's father was a senior official. The difference was not just a bit, but almost the same as that of Hepaozi and Songhua. Jiang difference.
After a moment of silence, he said: "Echao, please hand me the pliers~"
"Hey~" Sun Qianchao found the pliers from the tool box and handed them over.
Then he raised his head and asked, "Where are my mother and Xiao Ning?"
Sun's father replied casually: "I went out for a walk after dinner. I just left not long ago~"
The father and son chatted for a while, and then Sun caught up and wanted to go back to the house. Although he didn't drink much, he was still a little sleepy and planned to take a nap.
Seeing this, Sun's father stopped his son and said, "Er Chao, wait a minute. I saw the wine you bought for me, but I don't think you did it properly."
"This driver was hired by Wu Pingfan's father, otherwise you would have to come to our factory to move wood. What a huge favor~"
"It's your first time out in the car. After all, you have to bring some souvenirs to others. Our old Sun family needs water, so we can't forget the person who dug the well. No matter whether Xiaofan and your sister can be together in the end, the Wu family is the same. You have to be grateful~”
"I won't drink this wine. You can bring the wine, the beef jerky and the toffee later and go to Xiaofan's house. Although the things are a little short, it's still a token of your appreciation~"
Sun Qianchao, who was walking back to the house, changed his face instantly when he heard his father's words. He wanted to slap himself. Why did he forget such an important thing?
It seems that I am really drifting. Everything has gone smoothly during this period. In addition, since I finished my apprenticeship, I have been drinking with the captain and section chief, and I have been a little forgetful for a while.
But without the help of Wu Guoqiang, none of this would have been possible. Not to mention the driver, he had trouble even entering the soy sauce factory. At this time, Sun Qianchao deeply reflected on himself.
"Dad, thank you for reminding me. If you hadn't said that I really forgot, I would have gone right away~" After saying this with a serious face, he went back to the house to get something.
Sun's father took out beef jerky, toffee, and a bottle of white wine from behind: "There's no need to go, the things are here~"
Seeing this, Sun Qianchao knew that his father was taking the opportunity to teach him how to behave, so he came over and said with an embarrassed look:
"I originally bought you two bottles of wine, but now I have to give them all away, and you haven't even had a sip. Also, I originally said I didn't buy beef jerky, but I just wanted to tease Xiao Ning. Now it's a good idea. It's come true. Already~"
Sun Guofu pretended to be angry and said: "Stop talking nonsense, I can drink more or less. I drink different wines."
"Besides, I may not be used to drinking wine from Inner Mongolia. I just like to drink our local braised wine. Go quickly, otherwise it will get dark later~"
But despite what he said, after get off work, Comrade Sun was very happy to learn that his son had bought him wine. .
He always praised his son for his filial piety, and immediately asked his wife to prepare two more dishes and drink well in the evening.
Although it was only after six o'clock, the sun was almost setting in May. Sun Qunchao speeded up his bicycle in order to arrive early.
"Click swish~" The journey that originally took half an hour to ride ended up at the gate of the district family home in twenty-two minutes.
"Uncle, do I need to register?" Sun Ganchao said this with a half-baked Ludong accent.
Uncle Qin, who was reading the newspaper in the pavilion, looked up when he heard this familiar voice and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
As he stood up and walked out, he smiled and cursed:
"It's useless to clean it up. I'll open the door for you and hurry in. But what you say, Lu Dong, is not authentic. I'll teach you later when I have time~"
"Okay, I'll talk to you later to learn Ludong dialect. I'll give this to you~" A box of large boxes was accurately thrown onto the table by Sun Qianchao.
Although Uncle Qin was happy when he saw this, he still complained: "You kid, don't do this next time. Even if you go to work, you can't spend money like this~"
"Well, I'll go in first~" Sun Qianchao said, then got on his bicycle and rode to Wu's house on a familiar road.
I locked my bicycle downstairs and went upstairs with my things. As I walked up, I couldn't help but sigh:
"There really is no harm if there is no comparison. Compared with the master's Tongzilou, this place is simply heaven~"
"Dong dong dong~" Sun Ganchao knocked gently at the door.
Inside, a family of three was having a meal. Because the Wu family had a simple population and all of them earned wages, the food on the table was a little richer than that of ordinary families. Four dishes were placed on the table, including meat and vegetables.
Moreover, Wu Guoqiang even had peanuts to go with his wine. You must know that this was very common in later generations, but in the 1960s and 1970s, it was a luxury product for ordinary people, the kind that could only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.
"Son, open the door!"
Wu Guoqiang didn't change his expression when he heard the knock on the door, because he was used to it. Ever since this position was established, some people would always come to report work late at night with something in hand.
Wu Pingfan put down his chopsticks obediently, stood up and walked to the door.
After opening the door, he said somewhat unexpectedly: "Qian Chao, why are you here? Come in quickly~"
"Mom and Dad, the catch-up is here~"
"Uncle, aunt~" Sun rushed in and greeted him first.
Wu Guoqiang nodded, and then he saw something in his hand, and he was a little dissatisfied: "You kid, just come here, what else are you bringing? You have worked hard, earn some money and save it for yourself~"
Mother Wu on the side also smiled and added: "Your Uncle Wu is right. We have everything at home. Don't do this in the future. Haven't you eaten yet? I just want to have a drink with your uncle!"
"Son, go to the kitchen and get another set of dishes~"
"Well~" Wu Pingfan, who had just sat down, stood up and went to the kitchen.
Sun Qianchao quickly spoke to stop him: "Don't bother Auntie, and Brother Fan, don't be busy. I just came back from Chifeng this morning and have already finished drinking at my master's house."
Then he quickly handed over the things in his hands and explained: "I am here to give you some local specialties from over there!"
"You and my uncle should also try this grassland specialty, just a little less. When we went there, we didn't expect it to be so expensive. We didn't bring much money in our pockets~"
When Wu Guoqiang heard this, he nodded slightly and felt very satisfied. This kid would think of bringing something to him on his first business trip, which showed that he was not an ungrateful person.
Old Wu didn't care how much things he had, having this intention was better than taking any amount of things.
(PS, do you think it’s better to keep things simple or to enter the plot as soon as possible?)
