Accidentally Born in the ‘60s: 115. Reunion

Lady Li laughed loudly after hearing this: "Okay, go wash your face and eat."

Although the hottest time has passed at this time, Qiuhuhu still sends back his prestige from time to time, and Zhen Zhen went out and came back sweating profusely. Zhen Zhen went back to her room and simply cleaned up before heading to the main hall. As the place where the royal palace used to entertain guests, it was large enough to put four or five round tables.

I was afraid that the old furniture that was placed here before would be bumped. Before they came, Zhen Zhen moved the original furniture to the side room next to them. Here, the furniture factory directly sent two large dining tables and solid wood. The stools are placed inside, and there is no need to move furniture when eating.

Liu Xiulan and two nannies set the last dish, and Mrs. Li and Zhen Zhen also came in. Liu Xiulan smiled and greeted: "Zhen Zhen is back, come and eat quickly."

Zhen Zhen called someone with a smile, nodded with a few of her peers, and sat down with Mrs. Li on the table inside. The family hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the meals were lively and lively every day. There was white wine on the table, and soda from the Arctic Ocean was prepared for the children, while Zhen Zhen drank the wine she brewed, a small glass a day was enough.

Liu Xiulan served Zhen Zhen with chopsticks she hadn't used before: "You said that Zhen Zhen is so big and will get married soon. When I think about it, it always feels like a dream."

Wang Sufen said with a smile, "It's not that bad. When you helped deliver the baby, it seemed like you were still with what was in front of you."

Liu Xiulan looked at Wang Sufen with envy in her heart: "Our family is still the most promising child of your family. All five children are college students, and two of them are also in college. Now in our Beicha, who mentions you? Everyone gives thumbs up, and they are always envious."

Wang Sufen stroked her hair: "It's all the children's own efforts, we can't help us if we don't know one big character."

Liu Xiulan's gaze skipped her two sons and landed on her grandson's face: "Dabao, you have to study hard, don't you know? After you study well, you can come to the imperial capital to go to school and live in a big house. ."

Li Mingrong's son nodded: "I know, just like my sister-in-law, you can say it eight times a day at home, and I can memorize it."

Zhang Chunhua at the other table was even more hot-eyed. Originally, he only knew that Zhen Zhen took the big yellow croaker and entrusted Li Muwen to change it into a big house, but only when he came back did he realize that the house was so big. Needless to say, the courtyards are layer upon layer, but the big one at the back is as big as the small park near my house. There are flowers and vegetables in it. There are chickens, ducks, fish and crabs. These days, I can only buy some outside. Pork and the rest are produced by our own family, not to mention saving more money.

Looking at Wang Sufen, who is ten years older than herself, her hair is dark and shiny now, her face is less wrinkled than before, her hands are tender, she has a nanny for cooking and cleaning, and a washing machine for laundry. It is more luxurious than the previous big landlords.

Poke the fish in the bowl, Zhang Chunhua just wanted to speak when Li Mulin glared at him, then looked at the two sons staring at him next to him, he could only swallow the words reluctantly. She didn't understand what the three masters were thinking, the old lady lives in such a big house, with so many empty rooms, Zhen Zhen is getting married again, what can she do if she has nothing to do? There are people who have food, shelter, and people to serve, and each one is truly blessed not to enjoy.

After dinner in the evening, the family watched TV in the yard and went back to their respective rooms to sleep. As soon as the door was closed, Li Mulin stared at Zhang Chunhua and said, "I told you before I came here, don't use your rude mouth to speak after this, you will remember it for me."

Zhang Chunhua couldn't help muttering: "What can I say, I just want to discuss with my mother to let us come and live? You said that so many houses are empty, aren't you blind?"

"It doesn't matter if you're blind." Li Mulin said word by word: "This house belongs to Zhen Zhen. The four brothers of the family consciously bought a house and moved out as soon as they graduated. What's wrong with your aunt? What about the big face?"

"That's why his family is stupid." Zhang Chunhua didn't dare to speak during the day, but at night he finally couldn't help but force him: "You said that such a big house really gave that girl a movie? Isn't this blind? In the future, I will have to become an adult family, so I have so many sons and grandchildren that I can’t tell them apart?”

As soon as Li Mulin heard the irritability, he spun around the room and pointed at her, and shouted: "Zhang Chunhua, let me hear you again, believe it or not, I'll beat you to death."

Zhang Chunhua immediately closed his mouth skillfully, but the expression on his face was clearly a little unconvinced. Ming Shu and Ming Xin, who lived in the next room, heard the movement and came over: "Dad, Mom, why are you two arguing at night? It's not our own house, so be quiet."

Li Mulin pointed at Zhang Chunhua's blushing face: "Just your mother's rude mouth, thinking about other people's houses all day long, you say she can't help but be jealous of other people's things."

Ming Shu glanced at Zhang Chunhua, then turned to discuss with Ming Xin: "No, let your sister-in-law take your mother back first, don't let this mess up."

Zhang Chunhua almost cried when she heard it: "I just want to kick me back, so I can't say it?"

Ming Shu looked at her: "I really don't want to say anything?"

Zhang Chunhua nodded pitifully: "I don't feel sorry for the things of our old Li family, but none of you guys are appreciative."

Mingxin sighed and pressed Zhang Chunhua on the chair: "Mom, when I beat my dad to Bingcheng to marry you, he was separated from the family. Our family's property is the old house in Bingcheng and the The stuff inside, as for the hometown and the imperial capital, have nothing to do with us, do you know? To put it bluntly, even if my second uncle's family has more money, I can buy several planes, but you can't ask them for a bicycle, do you understand? ?"

Zhang Chunhua held back his mouth and nodded reluctantly. The brothers have known their mother's love for taking advantage of their little characters for so many years. Usually when they were in Bingcheng, they could manage to coax and frighten them from time to time. When I came back to the Imperial Capital and saw that Zhen Zhen's house was in such a good condition, Zhang Chunhua couldn't help but want to let go of himself.

Ming Shu was afraid that her brother's good words would not work, so he gave her a heavy hammer: "Mom, we are attending the wedding as relatives this time. You can eat more but you must talk less. Look at my grandmother now that she is older, but her body is better than yours, if you really annoy her, she can take a cigarette bag and pot and bring you back to Bingcheng, believe it or not?"

Zhang Chunhua immediately persuaded: "Why haven't you changed your temper after so many years?"

"What's there to change? Usually my second aunt is never angry with her, and my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law never blush all their lives. If I hadn't seen you, my grandmother would have thrown away the cigarette bag pot?" Ming Shu rolled his eyes: "We have a total of We won’t be staying here for two days, we will go home when Zhen Zhen returns home in three days, just this week’s work, can you calm down a bit?” Controlling his temper, Ming Shu tried his best to squeeze out a smile: “You’re good. , I will take you to climb the Great Wall tomorrow."

"How much does that cost?" Zhang Chunhua couldn't help but say, "Why don't you tell your second uncle to let him..." Zhang Chunhua's heart ached when the eyes of Li Mulin, Ming Shu and Ming Xin suddenly cooled down. He gritted his teeth: "Okay, let's spend our own money."

Ming Xin couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "My grandma is not so stubborn, I really don't know who you are."

Zhang Chunhua snorted coldly: "I don't care about you, that's because you are the great grandson." In fact, under the education of her husband and son for so many years, Zhang Chunhua also knew that her character was not pleasing if she didn't take advantage enough. But these are all subconscious actions and words from the bottom of her heart when she is no longer in her head.

"Actually, my character is really related to your grandmother." Zhang Chunhua sat on the stool and sighed: "Your grandma and grandpa are my only child. Although they started to recruit a son-in-law, they still felt uneasy. Don't worry, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get old when I get old, so I can't wait to save all the money for the old age. In fact, your grandfather's salary is not low. In that era, let alone one of me, he was able to support ten or eight. But every month he I only took out a piece of eighty cents to spend, and I would rather sell the meat ticket than buy a piece of meat to come home to satisfy my cravings, it’s the same salary, and the food I ate at home when I was a child was not as good as the one next door that raised seven sons.”

Ming Shu and Ming Xin didn't expect this to happen. They looked at each other, not knowing how to comment on their grandfather's behavior. It is reasonable to say that it is right to plan ahead, but this is too much.

Zhang Chunhua finally summed up: "I'm afraid of being a little poor. I look at other people's good things and want to take advantage. If I eat and drink for free, I can't help but put more in my mouth. It's annoying."

Li Mulin said sullenly: "How many wealthy families were there in the past? Didn't they all come over like that? In the end, it's because my parents didn't teach me well, so don't make that useless excuse."

Ming Shu pressed Li Mulin's shoulder, comforted Zhang Chunhua and said, "Our family is not doing well now. My brother and I also give you money every month, so you can eat and spend hard. Just buy whatever you want, don't envy others."

Zhang Chunhua immediately looked up at his two sons: "I want to buy a washing machine, I don't want to do my own laundry anymore."

Ming Shu and Ming Xin calculated the price and could afford it according to their income: "Okay, as long as you don't make trouble this time, we will buy you a washing machine when we get home."

Zhang Chunhua was very happy, and went to the back room to make the bed. Li Mulin looked at his two sons and sighed: "Your mother will be like this all her life, don't take it to heart."

Ming Shu and Ming Xin smiled and said, "You can still despise your own mother, just coax her and it's over."

Li Mulin nodded, and finally whispered: "The washing machine is a lot of money, I have enough money for my private house. Now you have children of your own, in addition to the monthly pension money, the festival and the New Year's purchase. Don't spend anything other than things. It's not easy to support a family, save more money for your children to go to school, otherwise your daughter-in-law will not feel comfortable."

Ming Shu and Ming Xin quickly smiled and said, "No, Dad, where do you want to go."

Li Mulin smiled and patted Mingshu's shoulder: "Dad came here from that time too. I understand your difficulties. Okay, it's getting late, hurry back to sleep."

In the early morning of the next day, I had just had breakfast, and before it was announced that I was going to go out, I saw Osmanthus coming with a large bag of things. Seeing that she was sweating profusely, Wang Sufen quickly poured a glass of water for her: "Why are you here so early? You don't need to go to the store?"

"It's not a Sunday and I'm not so busy, just let the clerk watch it." Osmanthus took the water and drank it quickly before calling someone.

When Li Musen and the others first arrived, it was not long after school started. The students had more pockets when they came back from their hometown. The clothes in the Osmanthus shop were very fashionable. The students couldn't wait to buy clothes as soon as they returned to school. Although Osmanthus hired a clerk, she still slapped the back of her head in a hurry. She only came to have a meal on the day Li Musen and the others arrived, and went back in a hurry, not even having time to say a few words.

Liu Xiulan grew up watching Osmanthus, and she didn't speak so outlandishly. She handed Osmanthus a towel and asked her with a smile, "What store are you running? Are you still so busy?"

"Clothing store." Osmanthus smiled and said, "At first, it was meat buns who fiddled with, and went back to school to set up a street stall from the south, but he was caught by his father, and it was her aunt who persuaded her to persuade him. See you in Mingdong. It’s true that the meat bun was pulled down without delaying the study. I didn’t hear that selling clothes was very profitable, so I took over the job and opened a clothing store. Anyway, it’s okay to be idle at home, so I might as well do something.”

"Oh, it's really good." Liu Xiulan gave Osmanthus a thumbs up: "Osmanthus can do it when she was a child, and now she can open her own shop."

Zhang Chunhua used to be scolded by Osmanthus when he was in his hometown. When the two met, they bickered. This time, he nodded and said, "Osmanthus is a good boy."

Osmanthus gave Zhang Chunhua a surprised look: This style of painting is wrong. According to her character, she should not open her mouth to ask for clothes? Is this a change of temper with age?

But as long as Zhang Chunhua doesn't make Mrs. Li angry, and Osmanthus doesn't want to make trouble with her, who doesn't want to talk cheerfully. Unpacking the bags that I brought, the clothes inside were packed and divided: "As soon as Zhen Zhen set her wedding date, I hurriedly went to the south to buy some clothes, especially for you. ."

I took out a bag and glanced at the famous post on it. Osmanthus tucked it into Liu Xiulan's arms: "Aunt San, this is for you."

Liu Xiulan looked at the appearance of at least five or six pieces inside, and couldn't help but said, "Why do you give me so many clothes, how much does it cost you?"

"Who asked me to kiss my third aunt." Osmanthus said affectionately: "If your niece is filial to you, just accept it."

Liu Xiulan smiled and opened the bag. Although the clothes inside looked very foreign, they were also very suitable for Liu Xiulan's age and were not fancy at all.

Osmanthus separated the same clothes in several bags. Li Musen and Li Mulin had jackets, sweaters and trousers of the same style. Several cousins, sisters-in-law, and children were prepared. Although the styles of clothes are different, they are at most the difference in patterns, and the others do not seem to be high or low.

Taking out the last bag of clothes, Osmanthus looked at Zhang Chunhua, who had been sitting silently, and tucked it into her arms with a smile: "Fourth aunt, this is for you."

"And what about mine?" Zhang Chunhua felt that this was a surprise. She wanted to open her mouth when Osmanthus was given to Liu Xiulan just now, but remembered what her son said last night, she still held back abruptly. She has always had a bad relationship with Osmanthus, and she never thought that Osmanthus would also prepare a copy for herself, and took over a large bag of clothes, Zhang Chunhua looked at Osmanthus embarrassedly: "Look at the four aunts who haven't given you for so many years. What did you buy, and it cost you money."

Hearing such words come out of Zhang Chunhua's mouth, even Mrs. Li couldn't help but look at her more, Osmanthus smiled more sincere, and her tone became a little more affectionate: "What are you talking about, auntie, before? When Mingdong went to school in Bingcheng, you and the fourth uncle took care of him a lot, and it is my duty to honor you."

Old Mrs. Li also nodded graciously: "If the child has a heart, don't be an outsider."

After so many years of marriage, it was the first time that Mrs. Li spoke to herself in such a gentle tone, and it was the first time that her nephew and daughter-in-law were so affectionate with her. He looked at his son, daughter-in-law, and smiled kindly at him, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Mom, I'll take you back to the house to try on the clothes." Ming Shu's daughter-in-law came over to hold Zhang Chunhua's arm, and turned around to discuss with Mrs. Li: "Mom, I'll go back to the house with my mother first, and I'll go back to the house in a while. Come here."

Mr. Li has sharp eyes and bright heart, knowing that Zhang Chunhua is not saving face, she nodded: "Go, we're fine, you can try on the clothes with your mother, if they don't fit, you will have sweet-scented osmanthus flowers. Sister-in-law will change it, she has a lot of clothes in the store."

Mingshu's daughter-in-law helped Zhang Chunhua to go out. In front of so many juniors, Mrs. Li didn't mention Zhang Chunhua's past, and laughed at other things.

********

After two days of excitement, it was finally time for Zhen Zhen to get married. Just before dawn, Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen got up. They washed their faces and combed their hair and put on new clothes. Wang Sufen sat on the chair with her chest covered: "Oh, mother, why am I so nervous? Mu Wu feels like it."

Ms. Li almost spit out the honey water in her mouth, she swallowed it with difficulty and looked at her with joy: "You are excited to be a mother-in-law." Pushing open the window, Madam Li looked at Zhen Zhen's house still It was pitch black and couldn't help jumping: "You said that this child Zhen Zhen doesn't know she is nervous, she can still sleep even when it's dawn."

Wang Sufen looked in the mirror and gathered her hair with a comb. Then she rolled up her sleeves and went out: "I'll go and call Zhen Zhen up."

In her sleep, Zhen Zhen looked at the burnt red and fragrant roast suckling pig in front of her, drooling. She picked up a knife and fork and cut off a piece of roast pork. Just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she heard an earth-shattering slam on the door. Voice: "Zhen Zhen got up! Zhen Zhen got up quickly!"

The pork on the fork was gone, Zhen Zhen also woke up, pouted and ran to the door with bare feet to open the door, Zhen Zhen looked at Wang Sufen very sadly: "I dreamed that a roast suckling pig was very fragrant, I You woke me up before I could eat."

"What kind of suckling pig is roasting? I think you look like a little pig. It's the time, why aren't you in a hurry?" Seeing Zhen Zhen's bare feet, Wang Sufen hurriedly grabbed the slippers and threw them on her At the foot: "I told you not to go barefoot. I don't remember. You are about to get married. In the future, you will have to grow snacks to take care of yourself." Mom won't be able to wake you up and get you slippers in the future."

Zhen Zhen stretched out her hand and embraced Wang Sufen in her arms, her eyes were a little red, but she tried her best to make her tone lighter: "Look, our family is now a big yard, you are still sad, if I'm really married like someone else's family, you must not cry and collapse the wall of our family."

Controlling her tears, Zhen Zhen changed her smile and held Wang Sufen's shoulder: "Oh, my mother is wearing new clothes today, let me see? Oh, why is she so handsome, she looks better than the Queen Mother."

Wang Sufen wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and patted Zhen Zhen's back with a smile: "Don't be sloppy, get up and wash up quickly, it's time for guests."

As soon as she finished speaking, the alarm in the room rang, Zhen Zhen went over to ring the alarm, and smiled and kissed Wang Sufen on the face: "My mother is always ahead of the alarm clock."

Wang Sufen disgustedly wiped it with a handkerchief: "You haven't brushed your teeth yet."

Zhen Zhen quit the job immediately: "I don't stink, Mom, you've changed, you actually start to dislike me."

***

With the bursts of laughter coming from Zhen Zhen's house, everyone in the old Li family got up. The nanny made the braised noodles, and the family ate a little, so they hurriedly cleaned up the house and waited. Guests come to the door.

Zhen Zhen brushed her teeth again, took the cosmetics she bought from Hong Kong Island and painted her eyebrows in front of the mirror. Wei Yujin and Xu Jiajia were the first to arrive. Seeing that Zhen Zhen's hair was still loose, they all panicked. : "Why haven't you combed your hair yet?"

Zhen Zhen turned around and smiled after putting on her lipstick: "It's too early to rush." ​​After speaking, she saw a few friends staring at herself with their mouths open.

“Doesn’t it look good?” Zhen Zhen was a little confused, she turned her head to the mirror and looked at her makeup, people in the early 1980s also liked to put on blush when they put on makeup, but Zhen Zhen used makeup from later generations Skill, makeup is very natural. No matter how Xu Jiajia and the others looked at Zhen Zhen, it seemed like she had no makeup, but she was extraordinarily beautiful.

"Don't be dazed." Wei Yujin first came back to her senses: "Let's help Zhen Zhen to put her hair up." She found a comb and helped Zhen Zhen comb her hair, while looking around: "Where is the big red flower? What?"

"I didn't prepare big red flowers." Zhen Zhen smiled and turned her head: "I don't wear that kind of hair. I agreed with my sister-in-law about the hairstyle and asked her to help me with a new style." /

While speaking, Osmanthus came from the main room, holding a box in her hand, Wei Yujin quickly gave way. Osmanthus has been practicing with Zhen Zhen's hair in the past two days, and she is already familiar with it. It only took half an hour to have a beautiful bride's head. Open the box, there are a dozen small buckles, which are also inlaid with sparkling diamonds. Wang Sufen fastened the small rings one by one on Zhen Zhen's braid, the sunlight was dazzling and beautiful.

Zhen Zhen has just been cleaned up. Mr. Selfless, a master of literature, Mr. Su Weiran, a master of painting, Mr. Zhang Renze, a master of Chinese medicine, Mr. Cheng Xuewu, a famous Chinese doctor, Mr. Xie Shurang, a master of Peking Opera, and Yan Baozhu, a master of Kunqu District, came early.

Since Lao Li's family moved to the capital, Zhen Zhen invites a few gentlemen to sit at home every one or two months, because Mrs. Li is very familiar with them and she doesn't see them, so she hurries to greet them Come in.

The gifts from several gentlemen are relatively expensive, especially the paintings that Su Weiran gave him specially for Zhen Zhen, which are hard to find, so they greeted Mrs. Li and sent the brocade box to Zhen directly. Inside the house.

"Sir." Zhen Zhen was making the final adjustments to her makeup, when she saw the gentlemen coming, she quickly stood up to greet them.

"It's so beautiful." Yan Baozhu took Zhen Zhen's hand with a look of admiration, took a closer look and picked up the eyebrow pencil from the dresser: "I'll fix it for you."

Forgetfulness and Su Weiran touched their noses, smiled and shook their heads: "This woman can't move when she sees makeup, let them put it on here, let's go to the main hall for tea."

Zhen Zhen smiled and pushed Xu Jiajia: "Help me say hello gentlemen."

Yan Baozhu looked at the dazzling makeup on the dressing table with enthusiasm, raised the corner of her eyes, and smiled more charmingly: "Come on, let Mr. make up for you."

At the gate, Ming Dong brought a few brothers to greet the guests, while Yu Shoujing and a group of colleagues stood at the gate a little dazed: "Li Mingzhen really lives here?"

"Isn't it written?" The deputy editor-in-chief took out the address in his pocket and looked at the address, and then looked at the bustling door and said with certainty: "The designation is correct."

I was greeted in a trance. As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw everyone sitting in the top row smiling and nodding to him. Yu Shoujing stretched out his hand tremblingly: "Give me the address, I think we went through the wrong door. ."
