Return To 1977 Chapter 250: Giving New Year’s Gifts

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

It was six o'clock when Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan arrived at the "Tea and Food Alley".

After entering the hospital, they found the door of Shou's house according to their memories. Not wanting to be the same as when I was discharged from hospital just now, I had another false alarm.

Just when they were about to knock on the door, a young man about the same age as Hong Yanwen, wearing a cotton coat and holding an aluminum pot in his hand, suddenly opened the door and came out. Both of them were startled again.

Fortunately, Shou Jingfang got up early and came out when he heard the noise. Seeing the three people in front of the door standing there dumbly facing each other with things in hand, I just thought it was funny, so I quickly let them into the room and introduced them to each other.

This young man is Shou Jingfang’s son Shou Zheng. According to his age, Hong Yanwu has to be called cousin.

Before Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan could put down their things, Shou Jingfang knocked on the door of another inner room, urging the people inside to come out and see someone. It turns out that his eldest daughter, Hong Yanwu's eldest cousin Shou Rong, is also back.

Hong Yanwu quickly congratulated his cousin on the family reunion, and took the opportunity to tell his parents about adopting Quanzi as their godson. As a result, Chen Liquan also officially changed his name to call Shou Jingfang his cousin and Shou Zheng his cousin.

After Shou Rong came out of the house, the two of them met their cousin again. Then, they formally presented the New Year's gift.

It is enough to talk about the things Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan brought. These days, such good things are hard to come by. In addition, they also brought a thousand yuan, which they prepared separately considering that Shou Jingfang spent money as he pleased and had an older son and daughter.

So when the two factors are added together, this generous gift from the Hong family is beyond imagination, but it shocked everyone in the Shou family

However, the "miracle doctor" was born into a wealthy family after all, and in the past he also used agate as a means of catching people. He was no better than the two children who had grown up in hard times, and seemed to be stunned and unable to control themselves. After being stunned for a moment, he regained his composure.

Afterwards, after a few simple inquiries, Hong Yanwu said that he had made a lot of money in Bincheng and his family had nothing to lose, so he was no longer polite to him. He took all the money and goods with a smile on his face very freely.

Of course, he also knew the rules. He asked about the Hong family's "busy year", and then generously asked the eldest daughter to bring out a "Jinhua Ham" and a "Jinling Salted Duck" that had been prepared earlier. , let Hong Yanwu take it home.

He said, "I originally wanted to send it to your home during New Year greetings, but I didn't expect that you came back before the holiday, so I just returned the gift. It's just that the gift is a little meager, so don't dislike it."

When Hong Yanwu heard this, he immediately said he didn't dare, and then knelt down. He wanted to kowtow to Shou Jingfang three times to formally thank his cousin for his kindness in saving his father.

But Shou Jingfang only received one head injury before he stopped him and said seriously. "Third brother, actually you don't need to thank me. Your father's life being saved is not only a blessing from his lifelong virtues, but also a fulfillment of your filial piety. Others don't know how difficult and dangerous it is to get this object, but I don't know it either. ? Even though it’s old stuff, I can tell by looking at your stiff backs and lack of energy and blood that your chest and abdomen have just been severely injured..."

Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan looked at each other, both were sincerely surprised and had to nod their heads.

Shou Jingfang sighed and said with emotion, "I have many children and nephews in the Hong family. I thought you were the least successful, but I didn't expect you to be so successful now. . You actually did what you said and you went all the way to find the medicine. This makes me really happy for your parents. That’s right. The Hong family’s tutors are good. Even if there are deviations, they can always return to the right path. . This elder cares for the young and enjoys the family love, which is beyond comparison with the chatter of a small family living in a small family all day long. What is the foundation? By the way, Quanzi is now a family, and my cousin won’t meet you. In addition, I hope you will always remember my words in the future. "Love only for relatives, and respect only elders."

Shou Jingfang’s words contained both praise and admonishment. Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan understood what they didn’t understand, but they didn’t dare to ignore it anyway, so they nodded respectfully together.

As soon as these words were said, the two of them saw that the Shou family clock had already pointed to half past six, so they took the opportunity to say goodbye.

Shou Jingfang also guessed that they had other families to run away from, not to mention that he was about to go to work, so he didn't hold them back. He only asked Hong Yanwu to send a message back, saying that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family would visit the house to pay New Year greetings, and if there was anything to say, they could discuss it when they met.

Everyone said goodbye politely. After Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were sent out of the courtyard by Shouzheng, they went to the flower market to visit the Feng family.

The so-called "Flower Market" actually refers to a street running east-west and more than 2,000 meters long in the southeast of Chongwenmen. It is divided into "West Flower Market Street" and "East Flower Market Street" with "Yangshikou" as the boundary.

During the Qing Dynasty, this street was the main production and trading center for silk flowers, paper flowers, and utensil flowers in the capital. The fake flowers and utensils sold here once won awards at the Panama International Exposition. During the Republic of China, this industry reached its peak and prosperity. At that time, there were more than 300 stores operating permanently.

According to the rules of the old Beijing people, all alleys related to buying and selling shops are called "Tiao", so the sixteen nearby alleys named after the flower market and "Tiao" are of course also included in the flower market. Inside. From this we can see that the specific scope of the flower market is vast.

The Feng family moved here from Xisi in 1973. Their original house was too small, with only two small west rooms. After Yang Weifan's father was reinstated as an official, his mother arranged for the Feng family to live here in order to repay the Feng family for taking care of their son for many years.

In addition, the official wife also took advantage of convenience and arranged a part-time job for Feng Yuana's disabled father to help a street factory make plastic flowers at home. So today, the Feng family lives in three large north rooms in No. 7, Ertiao, Shanghuashi, just north of Xihuashi Street, not far from Shou's family.

Under Shou Zheng's instructions when they were leaving, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan walked through Chongwenmen Street from west to east. After walking for only ten minutes, they found the entrance to the Feng family after asking around.

The Feng family is just like what Yang Weifan described, they are a very kind and simple family. As soon as Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan knocked on the door and announced their names, the family quickly let them into the house, saying that Yang Weifan had left a message and mentioned them.

Then I made tea and water, and took out the limited amount of peanuts and melon seeds for them to eat. I was also busy planning to buy breakfast and boiled eggs for them. Hong Yanwu and the others naturally did not want to disturb each other, so they refused to stop him.

Unexpectedly, the current situation of the Feng family is not as good as they imagined, because the Feng family's grandma has already suffered from Alzheimer's disease. Not only can she not hear clearly, she can't recognize people, and she even has to rely on others to eat porridge. Hello.

Feng Yuan's father also struggled to take care of himself. Due to long-term disability and poor health, Feng Yuan's father also had a great burden on the family.

In addition, the economic conditions of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan's Guan Feng family are also very poor. Although the sanitation in the house is good, the household furnishings are mostly dilapidated, and the patches on the clothes are not old and young.

Did Yang Weifan get so much money and not help them? This is impossible!

The doubts that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had were resolved not long after. Because whether it was the New Year's gift they offered or the three hundred yuan they brought to repay the favor, the Feng family refused to accept it.

Feng Yuan's father said that he now has a monthly income, and his wife and daughter also receive wages. The family's life is difficult, but it is enough. Thanks to the Yang family, I also live in a big house. In fact, there is nothing to be satisfied with.

Furthermore, when Grandma Feng was smart, she left a message, saying that you should rely on yourself as a person, and that the Yang family did not owe the Feng family anything. From now on, she would not allow the Feng family to trouble others for anything.

The whole family has always kept this in mind. Because of this, their hearts can maintain a sense of tranquility and they can feel that their lives are fulfilling and comfortable.

As for Yang Weifan, he still regarded them as relatives and elders, and came to send money and gifts many times. Although they are moved, they still hope to maintain the peace of mind of being self-sufficient financially.

For example, two months ago, Yang Weifan returned to Beijing for a visit and sent a lot of money. They could not refuse it on the surface, so they could only send it back to Bincheng. And this incident is enough to show that they did not deliberately refute Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan's face, and hoped that they would not mind or misunderstand and take the things and money back.

Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were indeed surprised. This family was really cunning. This should be what most people ridiculed as "the poor who want to save face and suffer." But this kind of conduct of not being happy with things and not being sad with oneself cannot help but make people feel a kind of respect!

However, this trip will be in vain. Hong Yanwu must not be reconciled. Therefore, he then tried his best to persuade them, saying that if they went back like this, they would have failed in their trust and would have no shame to see Yang Weifan again. Moreover, it would be a waste if the Feng family refused to accept the things they had already bought and could not hold them back.

Anyway, Feng Yuan's father finally agreed to accept the ribs, ribs, "water chestnuts", "leeks", fruits and eggs. But it wasn't for nothing. He asked Feng Yuan's mother to get ten yuan, which was regarded as a purchase.

At this point, Hong Yanwu was convinced, so he took a step back and stopped giving away other flashy things that everyone knew how expensive they were.

He just insisted on keeping two bottles of Maotai. He said that these were their greeting gifts and had nothing to do with the Yang family or Yang Weifan.

Hong Yanwu also said that not only did they respect the Feng family as people, but they themselves were children of a small family and understood the difficulties of life. So even if the Feng family doesn't go through the financial process in the future, if the Feng family has any troublesome or physical work like buying coal, transporting vegetables, repairing water and electricity, they might as well come to them.

After he finished speaking, he came over with a pen and paper and wrote down Furuli's public phone number and his home address, promising to be on call at any time.

In this way, the Feng family felt that their intentions were indeed sincere, and they had no choice but to accept the hospitality.

However, in the end, the Feng family still took out a lot of plastic flowers and some traditional silk flowers handmade by Feng Yuan, and asked them to take them back to add some joy to the family, which was considered as a return gift.

Both Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan knew that this was the best result and could not force it any further, so they accepted the money and goods calmly. Finally, he told the Feng family not to see them outside, and to treat them as their own nephews. If anything happened at home, they should just say something, and then left.

After being sent out by the Feng family, they were still chatting after walking a long way. Everyone feels that the Feng family has a sensitivity and self-esteem that is difficult for ordinary people to match. This family's principles of life make people feel a bit rigid, but they can't help but admire them sincerely.

Of course, when they first met, the slim girl Feng Yuan must have been the main content of their gossip. That Feng Yuan was tall and good-looking, but she seemed very shy. She didn't speak most of the time and just listened quietly.

Hong Yanwu was somewhat aware of Yang Weifan's thoughts, so he asked Chen Liquan how he thought Feng Yuan compared with the "Jade Faced Rakshasa".

Chen Liquan thought for a while and said, "Both of them look like the people in the painting, but the eldest girl of the Feng family is completely different from Nurse Zhou. She is not so beautiful that people are suddenly surprised, and she is also It’s not the kind of pretentiousness that makes people unattainable, but another kind of... kind of..."

"It feels as comfortable as the breeze blowing on my face!"

"Yes! It just makes people feel comfortable..."

Chen Liquan couldn't find the right words to describe it, but Hong Yanwu's words just spoke to his heart. This is so fitting.

Hong Yanwu lowered his head and smiled, then clicked his tongue before speaking again.

"Yang Weifan, this pretty boy, is quite lucky. But so is this guy. How good would it be if he picked it up earlier? If he is so cautious, he would be stupid if he misses it..."
