This meal was very enjoyable. Several men drank a lot of wine, especially Sun's father. He usually only drank half a catty, but today he went beyond normal and drank more than a full catty.
In the end, he drank directly and lay down, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth still clearly showed that Comrade Sun was very happy today.
The father-in-law was drinking, and Wu Pingfan, as his son-in-law, had no choice but to accompany him. Although he was not broken, he was still drunk and was lying on the kang drunkenly, playing with his son and throwing "pockets."
Over here in the outhouse, Sun's mother and daughter are washing dishes: "Xiao Li, you see Xiao Fan drinks a lot!"
"Why don't you leave tonight. It's really dark outside. I'll ask Erchao to move to the big house later, and you and your family will live in the back room~"
As today's protagonist, Sun Qiansheng also drinks a lot, but he has a good drinker, so he is helping to burn the kang.
Hearing what his mother said, he also echoed: "Yes, my brother-in-law had to drink more than 1 pound today. It must be quite tiring to see him riding a bicycle like that, and he has to buy meat tomorrow morning. Staying here will save you having to travel back and forth." !”
After hearing this, Sun Xiaoli glanced into the room and found that her husband had indeed drunk too much, so she nodded: "Okay, then I won't leave today~"
"If you don't tell me, I'll forget it. I get angry when you mention buying meat. What kind of family are you buying a fan of pork for the Chinese New Year? If you're not a householder, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are!" After speaking, the grandma glared at her son.
In the past, I could only buy a few kilograms at most and make a few dumplings to celebrate the New Year. But this year is so good. My prodigal son actually bought so much. That fan of pigs weighed at least more than a hundred kilograms. He had to eat meat every day. The first month.
Sun Qianchao knew that his mother was used to living a careful life, so he said with a bright smile: "Mom, there are still half of my sister and the others. This is meat that doesn't require a ticket. There is no such shop after passing this village. Our family now has It’s not less than a few dozen yuan~”
"Besides, my eldest brother is coming back for the Chinese New Year. He rarely sees meat and fish in the countryside. We really need to improve it for him!"
Hearing what her youngest son said, her grandma reluctantly accepted it and said:
"I finally understand. I have to find you a powerful wife. Otherwise, with your generous personality, you won't be able to save any money no matter how much you earn~"
After washing the dishes, Sun rushed back to the house, took his quilt to the big room, and placed it on the edge of the kang (wù). He also found two new quilts from the cabinet and helped his sister spread them in the back room.
I went back to the big house and helped my mother take off my father's coat and pants, who had drunk too much, and let him lie comfortably on the bed. After finishing, he was tired and out of breath, so he leaned directly on the cabinet at the end of the kang.
"Mom, I'm going to bed first~" Wu Pingfan came up excitedly and went directly to the back room after speaking.
Sun Xiaoli was not sleepy and kept chatting with her mother on the kang: "Mom, I am already 21 after my second birthday. Is it time to get married?"
"I'm also worried about this. Some people have introduced him before, but they are not worthy of our second-class team~" Sun's mother said this with pride.
She felt that her son was a cadre now, and he couldn't get married casually. He definitely couldn't do it like a waiter or a pedicurist.
"I will keep an eye out when the time comes to see if there are any suitable candidates. Female cadres will take some effort, but in our factory, there are still a few single female workers doing wheat straw paintings!"
"The work is decent, not the kind of hard work~" Sun Xiaoli said to her mother with a smile.
"Er Chao, your sister said she would help you introduce a partner, do you have any requests?" Sun's mother turned around and asked, because her son had previously been very resistant to blind dates.
"As long as you are good-looking~" Sun Qianchao, who was sitting on the edge of the kang here, replied with a playful smile.
In fact, she was strongly opposed to blind dates before. That was because her mother was looking for "monsters and monsters". Unlike her sister Sun Xiaoli, at least her aesthetics was still online.
Moreover, Sun Qianchao's mentality has also changed. As the saying goes, "start a family and start a career." Now that he has become a cadre, his "career" has been completed, and he should indeed start a family.
But it's hard to have free love these days. Sun Qianchao thinks that as long as he looks good, has a good outlook on life, can be filial to his parents, and has a similar job, that's all he will have in his life, and he doesn't need a bicycle.
…
After breakfast the next day, her sister Sun Xiaoli took the child back to his grandparents' house for dinner, while Sun Qunchao and his brother-in-law Wu Pingfan rode their bicycles to Zhou's house.
Entering the house and saying hello to Li Suhua who was busy in the outer room: "Auntie, I'm here!"
After saying that, he pointed behind him and introduced: "This is my brother-in-law~"
Wu Pingfan also greeted politely: "Hello, aunt~"
"Hey~" Li Suhua smiled and nodded in agreement.
"This kid is obviously talented at first glance. Come in quickly. Bingkun and the others are in the house~"
After saying that, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the life of the old Sun family is really getting better and better. I heard that girl Xiaoli married into a cadre family, and I thought it was the grandma who was bragging.
Looking at it now, it seems to be true, because although the man in front of me is a little fat, his temperament is extraordinary, similar to the Cai Xiaoguang who always came to his house before.
Thinking of this, she sighed again, because Li Suhua thought of her daughter Zhou Rong. She was the same age as Xiaoli, but now her life was in the sky and on the earth.
As soon as Sun Qianchao entered the room, he saw that besides Zhou Bingkun, there were two people sitting on the kang. He just nodded to Cao Debao.
But Fa Xiaozi said with a smile: "National Day, you came very early~"
Because he had been rejected several previous invitations, Xiao Guoqing felt something was wrong. He thought that Sun Qianchao looked down on his old friend because he was getting rich, so he made a face as soon as he came in.
In response to his greeting, he replied sarcastically: "I'm usually quite free and have nothing to do, so I came a little early. I can't compare to a busy person like you~"
Sun Qianshan understood what he meant by his words, but he didn't share his understanding because he had been an upright person since he was young and couldn't speak in a roundabout way.
So he smiled and said, "What, is the nagging person angry with me?"
"It's not like I didn't give you face the past few times. Bingkun and I work in the same factory. He knows that he is really busy during this period. He is so busy that he hits the back of his head every day. Can I treat you in two days~"
Northeastern people sometimes care about face. When Xiao Guoqing heard these words, some of the knots in his heart were relieved, and the expression on his face naturally relaxed.
Cao Debao, who was sitting next to him, was relatively well-informed. He already knew that Sun Qianchao had become a cadre, so he took the initiative to get involved and wanted to get involved.
"Catch up, you and Bingkun are childhood friends, then we will be friends from now on. If you have any use for me in the future, just ask~"
"Okay, okay, we are all friends. If we find a chance in the future, we must have a good drink~" Sun Qianchao responded with a smile for Fa Xiao's sake.
Cao Debao was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, because it was different from what he had imagined. Just as he was about to say something, he heard movement outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Xiangyang and Lu Chuan were seen walking in from outside. Upon seeing this, Zhou Bingkun said:
"Now that everyone is here, let's go. The Victory Store is in the suburbs and is quite far away. It's better to go there early!"
Naturally, no one objected. After riding for more than an hour, Sun Qianchao felt that he was almost exhausted when he reached the Friendship Store Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
When I arrived, I was a little confused when I saw the scene in front of me, because there were so many people present. It was only after 9 o'clock, but there were at least 70 or 80 people waiting in line outside the store, and there were probably even more people inside.
Wu Pingfan walked closer to his brother-in-law: "How long will this guy have to wait to catch up~"
At this time, Cao Debao, who went in to inquire about the news, came out and said: "Oh my God, the meat hasn't come yet. We have to wait in line for more than 100 people to leave~"
Here Sun Qianchao finally remembered this end of the story. It seemed that the cold storage had been waiting for a call from the store, but the leader of the supply and marketing cooperative was timid and never dared to call...
(PS: Although I am a little late, I will not be absent!)
