Return To 1977 Chapter 875: Midsummer

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

For everyone, the passage of time is destined to remain unchanged.

But what’s interesting is that everyone’s experience of time is often different.

Some people think it goes by fast, and some people think it goes by slowly.

This should be determined by their different situations, experiences and moods.

Of course, for the same reason, everyone has different perceptions and impressions of an era.

Take the midsummer of 1983.

Even though the Hong family is the same family, individuals have different priorities.

If each family member is asked to recall one by one in the future, they will remember very different things.

For example, the happiest people must be the children.

For example, Hong Jun took Ding Ling, Hong Yi and Shui Xiaoying to have fun together during the summer vacation. The content was quite rich.

In addition to hanging on dragonflies, catching seasonal birds, catching crickets, raising grasshoppers, playing hide-and-seek, catching people, going to houses, and climbing trees with other children of the same age in the street, they also have to go back and forth between the TV, the cinema, and the swimming pool. Busy.

My heart is always thinking about the unique summer fruits, pears, peaches and grapes, ice popsicle soda, mung bean soup and sour plum soup.

It just so happens that they also have such a good uncle and father as Hong Yanwu.

Just to make these children live a happier life.

On the eve of the holiday, Hong Yanwu deliberately contacted the sports equipment company that provided children's play facilities for the park through the eldest daughter of the Bian family, Bian Jiangong's sister, who worked at "Taoranting".

Then I spent more than 3,000 yuan to buy some swings, swivel chairs, slides, seesaws, single and parallel bars and climbing frames for the children, and placed them in the garden of the Hong family's old house.

In addition, he also found someone to dig a sand pit and bought a ton of fine sand to pile sand for the children to play with.

Then he asked Xiao Heping to draw a tree house, and asked his eldest brother Hong Yanzheng to make it as soon as possible. He planned to install it on an old tree in the garden and use it as a secret base for the children in the future.

Think about it, whose children could have such a private playground back then?

This was not only a matter of money, but more importantly, the social consciousness of that era, which did not have such a concept of humanistic care for children.

Not to mention others, even Hong Yanzheng was envious in his eyes.

To put it bluntly, the third child is too spoiled by little people. He spends unnecessary money and may end up raising a brood of young masters and young ladies.

So from this point of view, it makes perfect sense that the children of the Hong family regard the playground among the flower and fruit trees as the sweetest childhood memory for each of them.

Because I am so happy.

This is far beyond the reach of those children from privileged families who were lucky enough to fly on special planes during their childhood.

Not only did the children benefit, but Hong Yanwu's parents also benefited, even if it was due to his son's unintentional interference.

For example, take Hong Lucheng as the head of the family.

The old man’s life has always been relatively regular. Apart from taking a morning stroll, drinking tea, reading the newspaper, and taking a nap every day, he would go to the old house to tidy up his books, play with calligraphy and painting, and come back to enjoy the happiness of having his children and grandchildren around him. He was already living a pretty good life.

However, this summer, he actually got two conveniences in life because of Hong Yanwu, and his life became even more enjoyable.

First of all, since the Hong family and the Shui family have become in-laws, it will be easier for Hong Lucheng to get a haircut.

As long as he wants a haircut, he can let him know at any time. He doesn't even have to leave his house, Shui Gengsheng will come to his door when he has time.

Not only did he get a complete set of treatments, he even cut the hair of Hong Yanzheng, Hong Jun and Hong Yi.

Well, from then on, all the men of the Hong family took advantage of it, and they always looked so energetic.

To be honest, the point is not how much money you save, the key is how easy and comfortable you are.

How many people are there in the city now?

It is difficult to get a bus, get a haircut, take a bath, have a meal, or buy something. Everywhere is overcrowded.

Now I can cut my hair and shave my face while chatting at home. How convenient it is.

What's more, Shui Gengsheng is a serious head shaver who knows how to "massage and put him to sleep", and his technique is particularly good.

After finishing the work, follow the old rules of the past, pat the shoulders first, and then pat the back.

With this rhythmic and crisp sound, Hong Lucheng was able to fall asleep in a short time.

Wait for a short nap, wake up naturally, stretch out, feel relaxed all over, don’t mention this feeling of comfort.

If nothing happens again, make a pot of tea and the two brothers can continue talking.

Compared with having to wait in long queues in the smoky, hot and noisy barbershops in the past, this is not like going to the sky or the ground.

Secondly, after Hong Yanwu got married, in return for the gift, Hong Lucheng and his wife visited "Zhang Dashao" at his home.

There was nothing wrong with the couple's sincerity and courtesy, and they were both familiar with each other.

They and "Zhang Dashao" have many common topics to discuss and can easily chat together.

So that's it. After this trip, they not only became friends with each other, but also met regularly twice a month and took turns entertaining guests.

Every time "Zhang Dashao" accepted the things they asked Hong Yanwu to send, he would always make one or two exquisite dishes in return.

So this summer, not only Hong Lucheng was lucky enough to taste authentic Manchurian pastries - "Osmanthus Yoghurt Cake" and "Honey Pickled Sour Plum Cake".

Wang Yunlin also tasted the seasonal delicacies originating from the palace - "peach soup" and "jiangmi lotus root".

No need to ask, the taste is absolutely outstanding, it is extraordinary.

And the most important thing is that this is what Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin used to make snacks, but now they can no longer find it.

It was not only a meal, but also emotions and memories hidden deep in their hearts.

I am afraid that no one in the world can enjoy this kind of taste except "Zhang Dashao".

As for Wang Yunlin, although she is different from her wife, she doesn't have so much leisure time.

Her mind is focused on Xu Chongya and her little granddaughter who are in confinement. She is very busy this summer.

But with Hong Yanwu as her son, she also enjoyed a lot of benefits inadvertently.

First, Hong Yanwu got married, and his third daughter-in-law, Shui Qing, was clever and good at needlework.

With the help of her two daughters-in-law and Xu Manli, Wang Yunlin doesn't have to worry about food or food for her children, whether at home or outside, which makes Wang Yunlin worry-free.

Secondly, Bian Jiangong was very grateful to Hong Yanwu just because he solved the problem of the house.

This discovery made Wang Yunlin go out every day, and he would ask her every morning if and when she would use the car today.

Hello, he will drive back to pick you up when the time comes.

This greatly saved Wang Yunlin from the heat and the pain of running around.

It also made the neighbors laugh behind their backs, saying that the Hong family seemed to have another godson.

Having said that, thank you for that.

If Wang Yunlin hadn't been running like this, it wouldn't have been possible to give the other end more help.

Because in mid-July, Xu Chongya's biological mother didn't care much about her daughter and granddaughter.

As a result of being the first to implement the contracting system, in pursuit of profits, the Chongwen District vegetable market was so bold that it illegally resold a large amount of hot-selling commodities supplied to Beijing residents to other places for profit.

As a result, this matter related to people's livelihood was exposed by a reporter from the "Beijing Evening News", and it caused a big fuss.

The superiors were shocked and ordered to investigate and deal with it as soon as possible. Not only that, Xu Bingquan, who is in charge of business, may also follow suit.

So he, the district chief, is having a lot of trouble lately.

On the one hand, as a supervisor, I will definitely be busy for a while.

On the other hand, they have to treat themselves to treats and try to reduce their responsibilities.

There are always guests coming to the house. Without Yu Wanfen's help, it would be impossible to rely on the nanny alone.

This is the burden of being an official. With a large scope of power and jurisdiction, trouble will inevitably happen somewhere.

Not only do you have to be responsible for what you do, you also have to wipe the **** of those below you.

And the higher the position, the greater the possibility.

So in this comparison, the people who can really enjoy life and understand life are ordinary people without official positions.
