Return To 1977 Chapter 463: Return to Shanghai

After attending two weddings, Hong Yanwu turned his attention to "Tang Xin'er" again.
I don’t know whether it was because the “Xu Qin Fan” on May 1st was a perfect success, or because she was separated from “Aunt Bao”, but “Tang Xin’er” actually didn’t do much to “retaliate” against Hong Yanwu, nor did she Playing tricks and ignoring him.
The only punitive move she took against Hong Yanwu Shi was to make him act as a "boy" for several days. Go help run errands, buy a return ticket to Shanghai for "Auntie Bao", and buy some gifts for "Auntie Bao"'s family.
Hong Yanwu also has a heart of repentance for "Tang Xin'er" and a heart of gratitude for "Auntie Bao". How can he not do his best?
Soon, he not only called Yang Weifan, but also used this guy’s connections to buy Aunt Bao a sleeper ticket to Shanghai. In addition to buying the clothing materials and Beijing specialties that "Tang Xin'er" told me, I also spent my own money to give "Aunt Bao" a 14-inch Toshiba black and white TV, a Panasonic dual card video recorder and a Taipower fan.
He didn't let "Aunt Bao" worry about how to get the things back to Shanghai.
He took these gifts, along with "Auntie Bao's" unused clothes and things, to the train station to check in the parcel. "Auntie Bao" will be able to pick up the things with the consignment note as long as she returns to Shanghai.
This matter is well thought out and absolutely done beautifully. "Tang Xin'er" looked satisfied in her eyes, and "Auntie Bao" also felt very grateful. So next, she refused to accept the one thousand yuan that Hong Yanwu brought her.
Her attitude is particularly determined. "Xiao Wu, please stop being polite. I'm already very embarrassed after accepting such an expensive gift from you. How can I take your money again? To be honest, Nannan has already given me a sum of money. ."
Hong Yanwu said, "She gave it to her, and I gave it to me. We are not married yet, so these are two different things."
But "Aunt Bao" is not confused at all. "No, from my point of view, you and Nannan are the same. Otherwise, there is no reason for me to accept the gift from you..."
Hong Yanwu wanted to persuade him again, but "Aunt Bao" took the lead.
"Xiao Wu, 'Aunt Bao' knows that you and Nannan are afraid that I will run out of money when I go back, and I also know that you two children have plenty of money. But you have already given too many gifts, and you can't even use 'Returning Home in Brocade' It’s not enough to describe it, it makes me look more like an overseas Chinese than a real overseas Chinese. Don’t you think Auntie Bao is not ostentatious enough? Don’t forget, my salary is obvious! Yes? I was afraid that the police would suspect me and investigate me. To tell you the truth, I didn’t dare to ask for 3,000 yuan. In the end, she forced me to stay. A thousand yuan..."
This is the right thing to say, and Hong Yanwu's face will naturally look sarcastic. It's really hard to force him.
But "Aunt Bao" saw that he was embarrassed but a little apologetic, and then said sincerely, "Xiao Wu, don't misunderstand me. Aunt Bao is sincerely grateful to you, and she will tell the truth only if she doesn't meet you." . I might as well tell you something from my heart. Do you know what Aunt Bao likes most about you? That is that you can bring my daughter back to a relatively normal life and give her hope to live a normal life. "
"Xiao Wu, in Aunt Bao's heart, you are a very capable person. Not only have you saved my daughter, but you are also so capable of making money. These are things I never thought of, and I am really happy for my daughter. But Aunt Bao has to say that what matters most to you is that you can give my daughter a safe and stable life."
"You probably already know that Nannan's past lifestyle was deliberately cultivated by my foster mother, Sister Agou. My own life was also saved by Sister Agou. So I I see it in my eyes and feel anxious in my heart, but I can't object. I am worried about my daughter's future, fearing that she will go further and further away, like "Sister Agou", who has food, clothing and luxury all her life, but she has to hide in hiding. What kind of good life is it to live alone in Tibet? But now, since she is with you again, she has hope of getting out of that life. This is a life. The life a woman should live..."
"Aunt Bao, I don't ask you anything else, I just ask you to never let my daughter go back to the old ways. This is how you are, the closer you are to the life of ordinary people, the better, the safer and more stable you are. I The happier and more relieved you are. Even if one day you two can no longer make so much money, you must not go back... Of course, given your current conditions, it is almost impossible to live a miserable life. Aunt Bao is just worried about what happens one day and wants to hear your personal assurance. Can you agree?"
"Auntie Bao's" thoughts about "Tang Xin'er" are completely a parent's most essential wish for their child. To have such an exhortation shows the deep love between mother and daughter, which is the most sincere feeling.
Hong Yanwu has also been the father of a child for a time, so what doesn’t he understand?
He immediately gave his assurance.
"Don't worry. Your expectations are also my hopes. I understand what you said. No matter how much money you have, it's not as good as having a family with Meimei and being safe. I have thought about it all. After we get married next year, we won't even do these things now. I'll help "Tang Xin'er" find a more comfortable job later, maybe in a children's palace, maybe in a library. Maybe it's a park, but it's just relaxing. I can definitely guarantee you that no matter how hard or poor you are in the future, neither of us will take risks for money. We will spend the rest of our lives in an honest and ordinary way, raising children and living a normal life. , do you think it’s okay to serve your parents?”
Of course this is half true and half false. It's really Hong Yanwu's thoughts, but it's fake it's Hong Yanwu's determination, because he knows in his heart that he will never be short of money.
For him, making money may be the easiest thing in his life.
But no matter what, "Aunt Bao" was really happy from the bottom of her heart after hearing this, and all the wrinkles on her fat face relaxed. Far better than receiving "filial piety" from Hong Yanwu and "Tang Xin'er" in any money or material, their faces are brighter.
On the afternoon of May 8, the time to say goodbye finally arrived.
"Auntie Bao" was sent off by Hong Yanwu, "Tang Xin'er" and Hong Yanwu's parents, and boarded the train heading south.
Although "Tang Xin'er" is reluctant to leave, he also knows that there is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. So I had to hold "Auntie Bao" in my arms and cry heartily, and wave goodbye to my only relative with tears in my eyes.
Fortunately, now that she has become the daughter-in-law of the Hong family, she is no longer alone as before.
With the comfort and care of Wang Yunlin, the prospective mother-in-law, and another kind of warmth that is like family affection, part of the pain in "Tang Xin'er"'s heart was relieved. It alleviated some of the sadness.
She truly loved Hong Yanwu's mother. The warmth, kindness and generosity of this prospective mother-in-law were far better than her best expectations. If she could make a wish, she really hoped that her biological mother was like this.
However, after the emotional difficulty has been overcome, there is still a practical difficulty. That is, "Aunt Bao's" house and furniture belong to the catering company.
Now that "Auntie Bao" is gone, the catering company will take back the house and allocate it to other employees. Then "Tang Xin'er" must move out of here as soon as possible.
For this reason, Hong Yanwu persuaded "Tang Xin'er" when he was helping her pack her things.
"You can move into our house. Live in the same house as my sister. Even though it is a little narrow now, it will be spacious once our old house is finished. As for the three courtyards, won't they be spacious immediately?"
But "Tang Xin'er" firmly opposed it.
"How can I do that? I haven't passed the marriage yet. How can I live directly with my husband's house? Not only will it make other people gossip, but it will also make people look down upon. It's not convenient either. Xiaoru's studies are so stressful. I I'm sorry to disturb her. Just leave this matter alone. When I pack everything, you can just come over and help me move..."
Hong Yanwu thought for a while and then suggested again.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to come to our house. 'Little Cheese' and several younger brothers and sisters have now moved to 'Little Wife''s house. They originally lived in the third house on "Baiyun Road" A small west room is now vacant because you listened to me and didn’t return the rent to the housing management office. Otherwise, where else could you live?”
This time "Tang Xin'er" couldn't help but smile.
"Oh, ancestor, you really have to worry about your life. A big man is almost done. Are you tired? I'll tell you again, don't worry about this. I Thank you! ”
After saying that, he went to continue packing his things, but inadvertently, he whispered in his mouth.
“Tch, three small western rooms, dark and damp, almost out of the city, and next to an old Taoist temple and a smelly river, how can I live there? Could it be that I am an old lady full of feudal superstitions? I go to the mountain gate every day to touch the stone monkey, I really know how to find a place..."
(Note: The "Baiyun Temple" in the capital was built in the Tang Dynasty. It was the holy place where Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty enshrined Laozi. It was originally called "Tianchang Temple". The most famous rumor of "Baiyun Temple" is that there are three small stone monkeys hidden in the mountain gate, On the stone tablets on the side wall of the mountain gate and the east courtyard, there is a saying that "the three monkeys never meet". Later, according to Taoism, the people followed the principles of heaven and earth and advocated nature, and because the homonym of "monkey" was the "climate", it gradually formed "monkey". The custom of "touching monkeys". People hope that by touching monkeys, they will obey the laws of nature and bring good luck to themselves. The easiest thing to find is naturally the palm-sized stone monkey in the relief on the east side of the gate in the middle of the mountain gate. It has long been used by tourists. Shiny to the touch)
This talk is really irritating. When Hong Yanwu heard it, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
My heart says I am superfluous! This little aunt is just a man who is full and doesn’t know when a man is hungry. She doesn’t know the sufferings of the people at all!
How hard it is to find a house outside. It is not new for three generations of five people to live in a small room. The educated youth who returned to the city had no choice but to build small rooms, and many people slept in the kitchen.
Okay. Now there are three western rooms for her to live in. Do you still dislike it? This is really unbearable.
Thinking of this, Hong Yanwu couldn't help snorting. I thought about it a little deliberately and in a funny way.
Don't be picky, I want to see if you can find a good place by yourself!
Wait until you are in trouble and then blame me for it! Look how I clean up you little devil! At least one or two new poses must be unlocked!
Well, it’s not my fault! You recruited it all...
