Accidentally Born in the ‘60s:
Mingdong survived the crisis and was allocated a two-bedroom house. The family's heart that had been hanging for a year finally fell into the stomach. When Osmanthus went to Anbei to live, Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen packed a lot of things. Li Muwu helped them get on the train, and even went to the post office in the street to call Mingdong and asked him to pick him up on the train.
The matter of Mingdong has settled down, and Mrs. Li finally got her mind on her head. She has a smile on her face all day long. She even asked Wang Sufen to cook two good dishes. She decided to drink a cup of congratulations at night. When the wine was poured, Mrs. Li picked up the wine cup and looked at Ming Nan, who was eating with his head down, and suddenly thought that Ming Nan was not too young, why he didn't have a match now.
Mr. Li was worried again, she didn't even want to drink, she put the wine cup away, and Mrs. Li looked at Ming Nan and asked meaningfully: "Ming Nan, you have been in school for two years. right?"
Mingnan scooped a tablespoon of braised tofu into the rice and stuffed it into his mouth with a snort: "Yeah, it's not just two years since I entered the factory."
Mr. Li became angry when she saw his lack of heart: "Then why haven't you picked up someone at home yet?"
"..." Ming Nan was so frightened by the sudden words that he didn't choke to death, Zhen Zhen handed him a glass of water, Ming Nan poured three gulps in a row before he came back, wiped away the tears he coughed out, Mingnan looked at Mrs. Li aggrievedly: "Honey, you jumped on this topic too fast, can you choose a different time when you talk next time, I almost choked me."
Old Mrs. Li was annoyed by him, she straightened up and took the rice bowl and chopsticks in front of him aside: "Tell me if there is a girl you like, don't tell me I won't give you a meal."
Mingnan picked up a green cucumber, dipped it in the miso, and took a bite: "What do you say?"
"What else to say?" Mrs. Li glanced at him angrily: "If there is something corresponding, it will be good for you. Then we will see what the girl wants when we get married, so let's arrange it in advance. When you meet the right one, I will show you all the details, and see which girl is diligent, so that I can take you to see each other."
"Really?" Ming Nan's eyes lit up. He was so excited that he didn't even eat the cucumber, and looked at Mrs. Li's eyes, "Then milk, can you help me see each other?"
When Mrs. Li saw his appearance, she was a little worried: "You really haven't found a suitable one in the past two years? Why haven't you found a suitable one for so many girls in the same factory?"
Mingnan's face was a little red, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and stumblingly said: "Actually, there is a match, but I'm not familiar with others. Home, let us see each other at that time."
Old Mrs. Li was helpless because of her grandson. She handed the chopsticks and bowl behind her to Ming Nan, and said angrily, "If you have this idea, why didn't you say it earlier? It's not a waste of time. ?"
Ming Nan touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed: "I'm not ashamed to say it."
Mr. Li sneered: "I usually look quite capable, but the chain falls off at a critical moment. Tell me, which girl is it, I'll go and find out for you."
Mingnan smiled: "It's Meng Xiaoxi, a nurse at the hydrolysis plant hospital, who is three years younger than me. Her father's name is Meng Zhiyuan in the hydrolysis plant winery."
Zhen Zhen smiled beside him, bumped Mingnan with her shoulder, winked at him and said, "Third brother, you are very clear."
Old Mrs. Li took a sip of wine and looked at Li Muwu: "The winery will definitely have to enter the grain from your grain station. When they come next time, you can inquire from the side." Afraid that Li Muwu missed out, Mrs. Li said every sentence Di taught him: "When they come, you can tell us the situation of Mingnan in our family, and ask them to ask if there are any girls who are about the same age. If you say this old Meng family, you can ask him. No matter how the family behaves, our family has no bad intentions, and we have to find a generous and honest person when looking for in-laws, and we will live a comfortable life in the future.”
Li Muwu nodded: "Okay, it just happened that a lot of sorghum was brought back, and when it came to the winery to order, I turned around and asked." Li Muwu looked at Ming Nan and nodded with satisfaction: "Ming Nan has a good eye. , the old man who has a winery will be more convenient to buy wine in the future."
Wang Sufen immediately gave him a blank look: "This is not the point. You can't be confused because you are greedy to buy wine, but you can inquire more."
"I know I know." Li Muwu nodded again and again: "Lao Li in my class is familiar with the winery. I'll ask him tomorrow."
When Mingnan heard that what he was looking forward to was actually progressing so fast, Mingnan was suddenly happy for some reason. He lowered his head and took a few mouthfuls of food, and suddenly looked up at Mrs. Li: "Milk, then Hurry up and find someone to call me the kang qin that I used for marriage, I like the paintings drawn by my sister-in-law and her mother's mother, can you ask her to help me draw flowers, grass or something?"
Zhen Zhen laughed when she heard it: "Third brother, you are just like my second brother, you just stare at sister-in-law's kangqin, as if you haven't seen anything good before."
Ming Nan Hehe Zhile: "These kang pianos in our family are the best-looking ones of my elder brother and elder sister-in-law. It is festive when I look at it. I also want that when I get married."
Mr. Li looked at Ming Nan in a panic: "Do you want to marry someone else's girl or do you want a kang piano?"
Ming Nan smiled: "The two things don't delay anything, and if you get married, you have to make the whole house beautiful."
There is nothing wrong with this. Mrs. Li gave him a white look and turned to ask Wang Sufen: "Last month, what happened to Osmanthus' mother when you secretly delivered food to her mother? Are you being watched?" /
Wang Sufen shook her head: "Her family lives in the forest, and the road is difficult and far away. We didn't have much trouble in this place. The guards all went to the official's house, and no one went to the forest to find them. Osmanthus' father has been very honest and has not made any troubles in these years. Osmanthus' mother is both very capable and able to show off, and she is popular in the management office. I heard her say that the management office just means two words every day to criticize/fight. Now, in fact, how should I live? I saw her house was newly renovated, and two more rooms were built not far away. I heard that I wanted to give Brother Osmanthus a daughter-in-law."
Mr. Li nodded after hearing this: "Since this is the case, you can send the quilts that our family replaced. The cotton inside has only been covered for two years and it is still very warm. The quilts inside are all The ones that have been used are not eye-catching. You don't know, her family is living a poor life now, so no one is looking for them, and if they are a little bit eye-catching, they may cause trouble."
"It's not that bad." Wang Sufen said, "Osmanthus her mother also said the same thing. She doesn't dare to build a house in this mountain of wood. This year, the people in the management office couldn't see it and helped Zhang Luo, so they cleaned up the house. Alright."
Ms. Li took the last sip of the wine in the wine cup: "You go again tomorrow, and Osmanthus has gone to Anbei and tell them, and when she is not working in winter, ask her if she is willing to come. The family helps to paint the kang qin?"
Wang Sufen's face was a little uncertain: "Last time I asked her to come to the house to see the meat buns and bean buns, but she didn't come. She said that her family's ingredients were not good, and she was afraid of causing trouble for our family. I guess she was the one who came here. She was also embarrassed about painting the kangqin. She was afraid of causing trouble if she came, and if she didn't come, she was afraid that it would save our family's face. I felt embarrassed. South."
Ms. Li nodded thoughtfully: "What you're saying is that I've been confused about this, and we can't make Osmanthus' mother unhappy for ourselves. Then you will send her the quilt first tomorrow, No more chatter, don't mention anything else."
Wang Sufen responded, Mingnan stopped talking when he heard that the painted kangqin would cause trouble for others, Zhen Zhen knew that what Mingnan had been thinking about all these years was the kangqin, so she came over and whispered to him: "Don't worry, I'll give you a few good paintings later, and then you can just buy some glass and set them up."
Ming Nan smiled and tugged at her pigtails: "How old is your girl, you can still draw a picture." Ming Bei finished eating a bowl of rice and went to add another: "I heard from my classmates, Now those who know how to paint don’t dare to paint anymore, they say it’s the rotten way of life of the capitalist class, and I see some of our classmates going out to post big ‘character’ newspapers, and some criticize it.”
Wang Sufen was taken aback when she heard it: "What about the paintings on the kang qin? Can't you have them?"
"It's all right. Every household has a kang qin, and most of them have paintings of flowers and birds. If the paintings are torn down, they will have to smash the glass on their heads. No one can bear it." Mingbei explained: "Besides, we have all No one will go to anyone's house to make trouble."
Wang Sufen pouted: "Everyone else's family is okay, but Zhang Defu's family is not a good thing. Fortunately last year, Zhang Defu went to the hydrolysis factory to steal wine and was caught and locked up on the charge of digging socialist corners, or else Zhen Zhen Zhen has been out and in all day, I really don't worry, I'm afraid he will take our children and sell them."
Zhen Zhen almost spit out a mouthful of rice, she looked at Wang Sufen with a black face: "Mom, you've forgotten how old you are, to be honest, we don't know who wins or loses when we meet, he may not be able to handle it. It's fine for me to throw him out."
Wang Sufen doesn't like to hear this: "You are getting older every day, don't talk about it everywhere. If people know that you are strong, who will dare to marry you as a wife in the future? You must not beat men to death."
Zhen Zhen looked helpless: "Mom, don't worry, I won't get married until I'm twenty-five. Besides, I don't even like people like us. Even if your daughter is so handsome, she's still like this. Cute, who can match me, right?" Seeing that Wang Sufen was still talking, Zhen Zhen immediately blocked her back: "Mom, don't think about me, I'm still early, why don't you think about me What about the fourth brother? Seeing that he will graduate in a year, don't be like my third brother, who has been working for several years before talking about the object."
Zhen Zhen brothers and sisters all know that Ming Bei liked late autumn two or three years ago, and it was a very romantic love at first sight. In order to be seen more often in late autumn, Ming Bei went to the hydrolysis factory a lot, and worked hard to get admitted. A hydrolysis plant. But he didn't mention it at home, and no one of his siblings revealed to him.
Ming Bei sees Zhen Zhen turning her head towards herself, her face is both sweet and worried: "Oh, don't worry about it, I won't be like my third brother. ."
He was happy in the Mingnan Dynasty: "It's as if you made a noise."
One sentence made Mingbei speechless. Mrs. Li looked at Mingbei and laughed for a while. The laughing Mingbei's hair stood up, and she rubbed the goose bumps on her body. Mingbei quickly Guarantee: "When I graduate from high school, I will tell people that I won't let you worry about it."
Lady Li nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you can count it yourself."
Seeing that all four grandchildren have grown up, Mingdong doesn't need to say, Mingxi doesn't know what army he went to for a year or two, except that there is no news, but every six months, he sends a large sum of money to his home. The allowance, when Mrs. Li first heard the amount on the withdrawal slip, she was taken aback. She thought she had read it wrong, but after calculating it, Mingxi's monthly salary was 98 yuan, which was more than that of the hydrolysis factory. Eighth grade.
Mingxi's marriage is now even if she wants to worry about it. She can only work **** Mingnan and Mingbei. Mrs. Li weighed her house and discussed with Li Muwu and his wife: "You said whether our family should start again or not. A few rooms, although Mingdong doesn't know when he will be able to transfer back, but since the back room is given to them, don't move it anymore. Mingnan and Mingbei got married after seeing it. You can't decide on a marriage and then think about the house after you've set things up, right?"
Wang Sufen hurriedly went to see Li Muwu when she heard it. Li Muwu was a little undecided: "Mother, you can get a lot of money to build a house. Mingnan and Mingbei have to get dowry when they get married. How can our family have so much money?"
Old Mrs. Li crossed her legs and touched the cigarette bag: "In recent years, the food and vegetables eaten at home have basically not been paid for, and you have saved a lot of wages. Besides, your elder brother and your younger brother send me monthly mails. Where's the money?"
Wang Sufen hurriedly waved her hand: "The money that my eldest brother and the fourth child gave you is for your retirement. How can you spend it on them? That's not good."
"Could it be that if I don't have the money, you won't support my old age? If I'm sick, won't you pay me to see it?" Mrs. Li looked at Wang Sufen and Li Muwu, and laughed when she saw the two shaking their heads, "This is It doesn't mean that the money will be used first, anyway, Mu Wu's salary is in my hands, I'm in charge, I'll do what I say."
Since Mrs. Li has made a decision, the family has negotiated to build a house after the grain store sells the autumn grains. In the past few days, they have to talk to the street and apply for a plot of land.
A few days later, when the winery came to the grain station to pull sorghum and rice, Li Muwu hurried over and handed over a message. After the winery purchased the old Wang immediately after several corresponding girls, he finally said: "We still have a The brewing master surnamed Meng, his eldest girl is just three years younger than your third child, and works as a nurse in the hydrolysis plant hospital."
Li Muwu waited for a long time and finally got this sentence, and immediately clapped his chin excitedly: "This is a good nurse and not tired. Would you like to introduce this to us?"
Old Wang said with a smile: "Okay, let me set up a word for you. If Master Meng is willing, you can bring the two children to see each other."
Meng Xiaoxi is beautiful and quick to do things. Although she has only been in the hospital for half a year, many people have introduced her to people. Meng Xiaoxi also went to see a family two days ago, but as soon as she entered the house and saw more than a dozen children, she was terrified, and after a while, she followed her mother home.
During dinner in the evening, Master Meng said with a smile: "The purchaser said that there is a third boy named Li in the grain store who is quite young and we want to match him."
"What is the third kid in his family doing? Aunt Meng put the dry food on the table and distributed it to several children, asking without looking up.
After pouring a cup of wine, Master Meng took a sip before saying, "It's from our hydrolysis plant. He graduated from high school. His name is Li Mingnan, and he is three years older than our Xiaoxi."
Meng Xiaoxi was scooping up the porridge, and when she heard this, she lost her mind and might have been scalded. She sighed, and quickly put down the bowl and ran cold water outside the tap.
"Why are you still burning when you hear the name? How do you know him?" Aunt Meng stretched out her head to look at Meng Xiaoxi. Seeing that her face was a little red, she couldn't help but ask.
After drying her hands with a towel, Meng Xiaoxi sat on the stool and nodded lightly: "At the end of last year, an old master from the power station was hospitalized, and Li Mingnan took care of him for a period of time."
Aunt Meng was delighted when she heard it: "Is this the right eye? Why didn't I hear you?"
"What do I say?" Meng Xiaoxi bit his lower lip: "They didn't show that, and after the old master was discharged from the hospital, I didn't see him again."
"I guess it's a silly boy and I'm embarrassed to say it." Aunt Meng laughed directly: "Otherwise, there are so many people in the grain store, he has to come to the hydrolysis factory to find him, and he specially asked the people from our winery."
Master Meng patted his head and suddenly realized: "No wonder Lao Wang said that he started talking about several old Li who didn't respond. As soon as he said Xiaoxi, he immediately agreed to look at each other, and he came to Xiaoxi. "
Aunt Meng asked Xiaoxi about Mingnan while drinking porridge. Xiaoxi told everything she knew. Aunt Meng heard that Nanchang was very handsome and a clean and neat child, and she liked it.
Looking at the girl, she also liked someone very much. Master Meng didn't delay. He replied the next day and made an appointment to go to Lao Li's house for a blind date on Sunday.
It was the first time for my four sons to come to see each other, but Wang Sufen was so nervous that she wiped the inside and outside of the house with a rag, and even went to the street to buy some Candy cubes, oranges, etc., looked even more nervous than Mingnan.
On Sunday, Ming Nan made a dog-like person in the morning, riding a big bicycle at home to meet people halfway. Ming Nan jumped off the bicycle, his ears flushed nervously: "Aunt Meng, Nurse Meng."
Meng Xiaoxi blushed and nodded, Ming Nan saw Meng Xiaoxi's expression a little shy, and his heart suddenly felt a lot more calm. As he walked, he introduced the situation along the road. When he got to the door of the house, before he could call someone, Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen greeted him from the house.
While letting people into the room, Mrs. Li looked at Meng Xiaoxi, and saw that she was of medium stature, with an egg-shaped face, and her eyes were large and dazzling, which made people like her: "This is your girl, right? She looks really good." Mrs. Li smiled and took Meng Xiaoxi's hand: "I heard that you are a nurse, are you tired from work?"
"I'm not tired, I'm used to it." Meng Xiaoxi pursed her lips and smiled, revealing two small dimples, which Mrs. Li liked, patted her hand and praised.
A table has long been placed on the kang in the East Room, with candy bars, fruits, and biscuits on it. Wang Sufen greeted people to come in. She went to the kitchen to make a few bowls of honey water and served it. She smiled warmly: "My home is in the woods. The wild honey picked here is very pure, you can try it.”
Aunt Meng looked around at the old Li's house, only to see that everything was clean and tidy, and it was obvious that it was cleaned regularly. There was a big radio on the cabinet, and she looked at the brand of Shanghai, and just saw Li Mingnan riding a horse. The bike is the best. Aunt Meng looked at it. The living conditions of Old Li's family were good. There were chickens and a lot of vegetables in the yard.
The hydrolysis factory was not near, Wang Sufen accompanied the conversation and went to the kitchen to have lunch. Just soaked the mushrooms picked from the mountain, Zhen Zhen quietly carried four or five crucian carp, and a pheasant entered Room.
Zhen Zhen washed her hands and went into the room to say hello. Aunt Meng's eyes lit up when she saw Zhen Zhen, and she asked Mrs. Li, "This is your granddaughter? She's really handsome."
"This is my little granddaughter, her name is Zhen Zhen." When she saw Zhen Zhen, Mrs. Li immediately closed her mouth: "It's not that I praise my granddaughter, she is not only handsome but also smart, she speaks and acts like a little adult. Yes, you can worry about it."
Aunt Meng nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Aunt Li is blessed, I will wait for the blessings of my children and grandchildren in the future."
Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "If you don't ask for anything else, I'll be satisfied when I see a few grandchildren marrying daughter-in-law."
Aunt Meng smiled knowingly, just at this moment there was the sound of a piercing frying pan from the kitchen. Aunt Meng smiled and pushed Meng Xiaoxi: "Go and cook for your aunt."
Old Mrs. Li was happy when she heard it: There is a door to this.
Meeting the parents, the old Meng family has no opinion on this marriage. The old Li family attaches great importance to their children at first sight. They saw that it was a pheasant and a crucian carp stewed in sauce that day. It was all in time for the Chinese New Year. You must have a good life when you get married. After lunch, Mrs. Li didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Actually, my family's Mingnan fell in love with Xiaoxi early in the morning, but this child was too embarrassed to speak, if we hadn't asked about it, we would have been confused. It's in the dark. Two days ago, I discussed with Ming Nan's father. When next spring begins next year, we will buy a house for the Ming Nan and Ming Bei brothers, and then we will buy them new furniture. After we get married, you can come and eat at home. We don't interfere, Xiaoxi's mother, do you have any ideas?"
Meng Auntie Le's mouth couldn't close: "Your family is all over, I have nothing else to say, I'm quite satisfied." After she finished speaking, she looked back at Xiaoxi: "Daughter, what do you think? like?"
Xiaoxi lowered his head with a flushed face, and nodded slightly in Mingnan's expectant eyes.
