Return To 1977 Chapter 248: Three happy congratulations

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

There is an old saying in Beijing that "beating a child on a rainy day will make you idle", but this sentence is not suitable for the Hong family.

It must be said that Hong Yanzheng was really happy when he beat his son.

He pressed Hong Jun beside the bed, waved his hand, and asked, "Are you wrong?" "Do you still dare?" Hong Jun was horrified and cried with regret, "I was wrong, I was wrong, no I dare, but I won’t dare again..."

But when Hong Yan finished venting his anger and showing off his power, the side effects were extremely serious.

Because the old saying goes, "It hurts the next generation", and that's not true.

Afterwards, not only did Hong Lucheng not spare him, he asked Hong Yanru to send a message and called him into his room to give him a lecture. After Wang Yunlin came home from get off work, she made him "angry" (originating from Manchu, originally meaning "complaining, blaming") to the point where he almost crawled to the ground.

As soon as Hong Jun saw Wang Yunlin after get off work, he hugged her thigh and said that her **** hurt like a candy.

When Wang Yunlin lifted up her grandson's pants to check, she asked again whether it was Hong Yan who was fighting. Regardless of the presence of the whole family, he became anxious on the spot.

"Look at the spankings they gave us. Our buttocks are all blue. It's so horrible! How much hatred is there? What on earth did Hong Jun do? Tell me..."

Hong Jun became even more excited when he saw that someone was making the decision.

"Grandma, my dad is stingy and won't let my third uncle buy me guns or firecrackers. He also scolds my third uncle for being a prodigal..."

Hey, this brat really imitated Lao San and learned how to beat him up!

Seeing that his son actually took the opportunity to retaliate, Hong Yanzheng was immediately shocked and immediately explained to his mother.

"Mom, don't listen to your children's nonsense. They are the third child, spending money indiscriminately, and spoiling Hong Jun to no end. Look, he actually doesn't even look down on me as a father. He dares not to be a big brother. I don’t have a gun to tug tug, can you take care of me..."

But there was no room for him to say any more, and Wang Yunlin's face turned cold. The majesty of "Mom" immediately made him stuck.

"Is such a small thing worthy of your taking such a heavy hand? This is your own son! I don't understand, why can't the third child buy something for the child? He loves his nephew and actually hinders you as a father. Eyes? Does he have to stay away from Hong Jun and be stingy? I'm telling you, if you really hurt Hong Jun internally for this, I'm not done with you..."

"Boss, you are already in your thirties, and there is a difference of ten years between you and the third child. You can't live a good life, but you are fighting with this little brother all the time. What's going on? Don't say that we old people are listening to this. It’s uncomfortable, even if the neighbors hear it, it’s shameless. You keep saying it’s for your children’s benefit. Is this the good example you set for your children?”

Hong Yanzheng felt all the blood rush to his face. These words actually left him speechless for a moment.

What he never expected was that it was Hong Yanwu who smoothed things over for him.

"Mom, I can't blame my eldest brother entirely for this. It's still up to me to contradict him. You know, my eldest brother and I have always quarreled since we were little. It's normal for us to have a few quarrels with him. Thanks to my eldest brother's always being tolerant, we brothers didn't have an overnight feud. In addition, I fully understood that one of the reasons why my eldest brother was angry was because he was afraid that I wouldn't know the difficulties of life and would worry about my future life. I gave it to Hong Jun to spoil the child..."

Hey, weird! This 'hometown thief' actually understands people's affairs, didn't take the opportunity to add insult to injury, and even put in a good word for him?

While Hong Yanzheng was dumbfounded and looked at Hong Yanwu like a stranger, Wang Yunlin finally sighed and made a final summary of the incident.

"Boss, have you seen it? Is the third child an ignorant person? Don't think that we are all confused and you are the only one who understands. What does it mean to break the bones and connect the tendons? Your brother still knows that he feels sorry for you. In fact, Mom is angry with you, not because of anything else, but because she wants you to understand the principles of living at home. On New Year’s Day, other people’s families are so happy, is this worth the trouble in our family?”

"Don't think that Mom is protecting your shortcomings. Mom wants you to understand one thing in the end. You, your brother, and your son have such cowardly tempers because you can't stand their bad habits and think about them. Most of them? Or do you bring the idleness from other places into your home and use it to vent your anger? To put it bluntly, when you have time, look in the mirror more often and see when your face looks smiling. ..."

Although his mother did not pursue the matter further and her tone became much softer, these few words of reproach finally landed in Hong Yanzheng's heart, but it still felt like needle **** in his heart. At the same time, it was like an enlightenment that made him think deeper.

Yes, why did he get into such trouble with his brother and son? Is it really just because I can't stand it?

Why can he get along peacefully and compromise with people far away from him, but he insists on getting angry with his family members?

Isn’t this really a case of “a rat carrying a gun—everything in the nest”?

Hong Yanzheng lowered his eyes and said nothing. But my heart is confused,

After Wang Yunlin comforted Hong Jun a few times, she took Hong Yanru to the kitchen to have dinner. Even if Hong Yanwu greeted him with a smile again and came over to hand him a cigarette, he would not have the shame to stay in the room anymore. I could only push it away with a wave of my hand, and went back to my room to be bored. Until his wife Xu Manli came back and opened the door, he was still lying on the bed facing the wall.

Hong Yanzheng could clearly feel that Xu Manli was choked by the strong smell of smoke in the room as soon as she entered. But he expected to hear a few complaints, but he didn't expect that Xu Manli just came over and touched his head, and took a blanket to cover him.

This silent tenderness immediately warmed up his heart and made him feel a little guilty. He took the initiative to sit up and talked about today's awkwardness.

"You've heard what happened at home, right? I just had a fight with my third child, and I beat my son badly. My parents gave me a scolding..."

I didn’t expect Xu Manli to be very considerate. Instead of complaining, she tried to comfort her.

"Hey, actually, don't take it to heart. Who doesn't have housework? We are all one family, and there is nothing difficult to deal with. The third child just told me that he asked me to send you a message to make amends for him. No. Don't worry, son. A stupid boy who doesn't care about fighting will not really bear his grudges. As for the old man, you should be considerate of the parents' love for their children and control their anger in the future. , no matter how reasonable you are, you have to slowly say no..."

His wife's virtuous and sensible attitude made Hong Yanzheng feel more comfortable. He sighed and admitted it frankly.

"Actually, the third child and my son are not that big of a sin. I do have some evil intentions. Mom said I was right. The main thing is that I am particularly annoyed today."

Xu Manli was a little surprised and suddenly became concerned.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"In the factory workshop, those people don't work at all. They get together to play cards every day, laughing and joking. They also throw cigarette butts everywhere, and they don't even have any awareness of fire prevention..."

After hearing this, Xu Manli relaxed again.

“That’s why, what’s this? Which workshop is not like this now? Our factory is like this too.”

"But our workshop director came in, hey, he pretended not to see it."

"That's right, I'm not in the mood to tease people now, so who is afraid of whom?"

"But people must have a conscience and be worthy of the salary. I just can't figure it out. You said that the factory no longer belongs to the capitalists. Even workers from families like us know how to contribute to the country. Those who have the foundation How can Er Hongmiao do this? Isn’t this completely contrary?”

Facing his closest wife, Hong Yanzheng finally couldn't help but pour out all the truth he had been holding back. Xu Manli was shocked at this moment.

"Don't talk nonsense. Be careful when others post big-character posters about you!"

However, after being sensitive subconsciously, she was also able to understand his suffering.

"You are a person who loves to get into trouble. You don't understand this yet. Just because someone has a good background and a strong foundation, you can't do it well. No one dares to care about it. It's useless for you to be anxious. Now it's time to do it If you don’t do one thing, you will do more and less. Look at the factory leaders, they are not in a hurry, why are you worrying so much about it? You only get a few dozen dollars a month.”

"But you said that if everyone is messing around, how will they be paid in the future?"

"There is no need for you to worry about this. Isn't this the superiority of socialism? I think even if there is only one bowl of porridge left, the people of the whole country have to share it.

What Xu Manli said was indeed the truth. No matter what he did, Hong Yanzheng had to face reality.

"Hey, what's this? Actually, I understand. I can only talk to you for a few words. If you really have to rely on me alone, it's useless to be exhausted..."

"You're right to think so. Anyway, let me tell you, if you don't like it, don't watch it. Let's not compare ourselves with others. As long as we don't lose money and can be worthy of the salary..."

Hong Yanzheng had no choice but to fall completely silent, and after a while he touched the cigarette case again.

Unexpectedly, Xu Manli held his hand this time.

"Hey, just smoke less. I have something important to tell you. I went to the hospital after get off work today..."

A few minutes later, when Hong Yanzheng and Xu Manli appeared in the main room again, the strange thing was that he had completely dissipated and became energetic. And the joy on his face can be seen at a glance.

At this time, there was a lot of food on the Eight Immortals' table, including wine and meat. It can be seen that mother used the things bought by Hong Yanwu to make a good meal.

As soon as Chen Liquan saw his eldest brother and sister-in-law, he quickly moved the chairs. Hong Yanwu came over to joke again with a shy face.

"My sister-in-law is still capable. I finally invited your boss, why are you so angry with me?"

For some reason, Hong Yan was smiling, but his awkward expression was unusual, and he actually looked a bit coy. And he scratched his head and then made another request that surprised everyone present.

"Lao San, where are the firecrackers you bought? I... want to borrow a 'cha whip' to use first..."

Hong Yanwu was naturally baffled by his eldest brother's abnormality.

"Hey, we brothers still want to borrow it? You...what's wrong?"

"Hi, that's not...your sister-in-law..."

At this point, Xu Manli, who was blushing, couldn't help but tugged on Hong Yanzheng's sleeve. Hong Yanzheng shut his mouth, thought for a while, and could only smile and make circular motions on his belly with both hands.

Needless to say, Hong Yanwu took the lead and was the first to enjoy it. He immediately realized that it was another destined nephew who came to report to the Hong family.

"Hey, I'm going to be an uncle again! That's what I said! Brother, one hanging is not enough, we have to put two hangings!"

After this, Hong Yanru and Chen Liquan quickly understood and congratulated Hong Yanzheng and Xu Manli directly.

In the whole hall, only Hong Jun, who was riding a bamboo stick and pretending to be a cavalryman, was the only one left in the hall. He kept chasing after Hong Yanzheng's **** and asked, "Dad, what are you pulling? Is it a stomachache? Why do you need to set off firecrackers? Don't you scold Uncle San..."

While Hong Yan was in embarrassment, Hong Yanwu had already slapped Hong Jun on the head and pulled him away.

"Silly boy, you are trying to bully your dad. Let me tell you, your boy has been promoted and will soon be a brother. Do you know that? Tell your grandparents quickly, the sooner the better..."

But Hong Jun still half understood and half understood, muttering, "...Then I have to ride a horse."

Now even Hong Yanzheng was happy and slapped his son on the head.

"You can ride a 'cannon to hit the lantern', as long as you are fast!"

As Hong Jun ran to the back room and rode a bamboo stick to report to Hong Lucheng, a festive laughter sounded in the Hong family hall.

But no one expected that at this moment, the door of the main room was suddenly pushed open, and a person rushed in anxiously.

While everyone was stunned, they saw Hong Yanwen, who was sweating profusely from running, holding up a letter and jumping around the room like a rabbit.

He waved his hat and announced loudly before anyone else could ask a question.

"Look, the admission notice! I got admitted! I got admitted to university!"

Hey! What a coincidence! Who says blessings are unparalleled? It’s a real double happiness today... no, it’s a triple happiness!

In this way, that night, all the members of Lao Hong's family did not have dinner on time. Instead, they all stood at the gate of Fululi East Courtyard.

Under the blue-black sky, Hong Yanzheng and Xu Manli supported Hong Lucheng. Hong Yanru and Wang Yunlin stood at the foot of the high steps. They were in high spirits and watched as Hong Yanwen and Chen Liquan each held a long firecracker on the steps for Hong Yanwu and Hong Jun, who were holding incense, to light it.

Crackling, sparks flying! The smoke is filled and the colors are colorful!

In one breath, I fired six thousand rings of "Big Cha Whip", plus two tubes of "Box Flowers"!

Not only did the passers-by cover their ears and watch the excitement, but the Bian family, the Ding family, the Su family, and even the neighbors in the west courtyard were also lured out. At the same time, these acquaintances all felt very strange, why did the Hong family set off so many firecrackers before New Year's Eve?

When they found out that the Hong family was celebrating three happy events: the adoption of an adopted son, the birth of a new child, and the title of the gold medal, they suddenly realized and each praised and congratulated him.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!" Everyone who knew the Hong family said so. "The earth returns to spring, life is prosperous, blessings come from heaven, good luck..."

Subsequently, these news spread from mouth to mouth and quickly became a hot topic of discussion among the residents of Furuli after dinner around the Chinese New Year.

Envy! Needless to say?

Decent! Isn't this right?

Happy! And why not?

This year's "Little Cold" is definitely the most glorious night for the Hong family in recent years...
