Rebirth in the leisurely life of the red age

In Sijiu City at night, the street lights are on.

The sky is about ten degrees below zero, and fine snowflakes are falling.

The breath exhaled from the mouth will turn into white mist and rise...

Pushing the bicycle into the front yard, Li Yuan heard a very official sound coming faintly from the window of Lao Yan's house.

He was a little surprised. He walked to the window and took a look. He said "yo" and said happily: "Third uncle, you are so arrogant. You have bought a TV set?"

Lao Yan's family was probably shocked. After seeing the faces on the window clearly, they started to get excited.

Yan Jiecheng greeted warmly: "Brother Yuanzi is back? Come in, come in."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Forget it, I'll go in and watch TV. The third uncle can't ask me for the electricity bill?"

Yan Jiecheng was speechless for a moment, but he really let Li Yuan speak.

Not to mention Li Yuan, even if he and his wife watch TV, they have to pay five cents for electricity, so their children cannot pay.

Yu Li said generously: "It's okay! Brother Yuanzi, I'll hand it over for you!"

Everyone in Lao Yan's family turned green after hearing this, and the third aunt always looked at her grandson as something a bit different...

Of course, Yan Bugui sneered at this. His grandson and his son were almost carved out of the same mold when they were young. The old woman was really crazy about finding fault with her daughter-in-law.

He hurriedly said: "What do you have to pay? You can only see Yuanzi once a year, and you have to pay for electricity? That's not the case! Yuanzi, come in, come in, you third uncle, I'm not that stingy!"

Li Yuan was delighted, but didn't respond. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the window of the opposite room. He saw a figure who was about to dodge, but didn't. He gave up half of his body, and was stared at by Li Yuan with a half-smiling look. He was stunned again. He stopped and forced a smile to say hello: "Yuanzi, are you back?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Isn't this Damao? He hasn't seen his age, why did he come back from the third line?"

Xu Damao was a bachelor. He walked out of the room and said with a proud smile: "Hey, don't mention it, I stayed there very well. Yuanzi, you have never been to Sichuan and Chongqing. You don't know how many women there are." Beautiful. But my father was busy, so he asked me to send my mother back when the last moment came. My mother also wanted to come back, so I thought, yes, let’s go back to our old city. My mother went back to live in our old house, and I If not, I will go back to our courtyard. If not for anything else, I just want to see when that old homeless man Yi Zhonghai dies!"

Li Yuan was surprised and said: "Hey, why is there such a big hatred? What happened to He Yuzhu after being tortured by the uncle, and now he is still providing care for himself? What are you..."

Xu Damao had a disgusted look on his face: "Silly Zhu? Then he is a pure fool! How bad that old guy Yi Zhonghai is, Yuanzi, don't you know? At the beginning, our family wrote a letter in the newspaper, saying that the whole family wanted to go to the third-tier university Construction, then it wasn’t written by me! Who is so crazy and ran there? Grandma! It was written by that old guy Yi Zhonghai!"

Li Yuan was shocked and said: "You can't, right? How can a master do such a thing?!"

When Xu Damao saw him, he still didn't believe him. He was even more angry and said with hatred: "No? Later, this old bastard wrote me a letter and said that Zhao Jinyue, that bitch, gave me a son! By the way, he still uses you. You wrote it to me in my name! Don’t you know about this?”

Li Yuan frowned and said: "Is this happening? Oops, it's been so long that I can't even remember clearly. I don't hold grudges... How many years have passed... Forget it, Damao, man Be gentle and be generous. Look at me, I have been tricked so many times, but I have never held any grudges. The past is in the past, and life has to move on, right? Let’s go, I’ll go to Brother Zhuzi’s house later... yo!! Is this Madam-in-law?"

Just as he was talking, he saw a fair and thin beautiful girl, who looked to be in her mid-twenties at most, walking out of Xu Damao's house.

Li Yuan hurriedly set up his bicycle, stepped forward and shook hands politely and asked.

Seeing that his wife's face was red, Xu Damao's face was a little green, but fortunately Li Yuan just shook her hand and let go. He nodded proudly and said: "She's from the family, from Sichuan and Chongqing, a girl from their place. It’s Bai Jing, her name is Zhao Xiaoju. How about it, isn’t it good?”

Li Yuandao: "Not bad, not bad... This is great, Brother Damao, live a good life in the future... By the way, do you have any children?"

The couple's faces darkened when they heard this, and Li Yuan said kindly: "I'm staying in the courtyard these two days. You take my wife to find me, and I will teach you the massage method. Let's see how it works. It was a big problem before. I couldn't get pregnant after several years of marriage, and a lot of people gossiped. Then I pressed the button a few times, and lo and behold, the third uncle is now holding a grandson."

When Zhao Xiaoju heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened.

Xu Damao laughed twice, nodded and said: "Sure, done."

Seeing his insincere expression, Li Yuan said wisely: "Go back to the house, it's cold outside. I'll go in and meet Brother Zhuzi for a drink. Brother Damao, are you going? We brothers used to get together a lot back then. That burst of light Qi hasn't left yet, Dongxu hasn't died yet... Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I see that brother Zhuzhu and you have gray hairs on their heads. I'm still young... but not young anymore, after all. After all, our eldest son is already sixteen years old. Don’t worry, if you get drunk in a while, I will definitely send you back."

Zhao Xiaoju understood to some extent why her husband Xu Damao would gnash his teeth when he mentioned this impressive-looking man at home, fearing and hating him...

Speaking of which, it's quite... unique.

Xu Damao hesitated for a moment, with a look of sadness on his face, and said, "It's okay to go, but if Silly Zhu's grandson chases someone away, you have to help me carry him."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "That's no problem! Let me give you an idea. You, take Mrs. Sister-in-law with you. Brother Zhuzhu is a man of etiquette, so you should give Mrs. Sister-in-law some thin noodles."

"Hey! Otherwise, Yuanzi understands me. You're right! If I were just Silly Mao, I wouldn't give him anything to eat. Take Zhao Xiaoju with you, and you can barely let him take a bite. This grandson It’s really bad to trick such a young girl into coming back.”

Silly Zhu's somewhat sour voice came from behind, and Li Yuan smiled and said, "What did you do when you heard the sound?"

Silly Zhu said happily: "He Dan was playing outside and heard you talking here, so he ran back to report the news."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Today is a rare opportunity for everyone to get together. It just so happens that I brought back a roast duck..." As he said that, he patted the liberation bag.

Silly Zhu was a little unhappy and said, "What do you mean? When you come to my house for dinner, why don't you bring some dry food with you?"

Li Yuan said: "Just share a meal with each other and have a lot of fun together."

Yan Jiecheng, who had already stepped out of the room with one foot, quietly stepped back.

Xu Damao had sharp eyes and teased: "Jie Cheng, what's going on? How many years have passed and you're still planning to eat and drink together?" Then he turned back to Zhao Xiaoju and said, "Juhua, go get the two bottles I brought back from Sichuan and Chongqing." Bring it from Yubei Laojiao."

After speaking, he said to Li Yuan with a beaming look: "This is the state banquet wine that Baldhead drank at the celebration banquet in Sichuan and Chongqing after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War! Today, Silly Zhu has benefited from us!"

Yu Li walked out of Yan's house and said to Li Yuan: "Brother Yuanzi, I still have two kilograms of apples at home. I originally wanted to go back to my parents' house tomorrow and asked Jie Cheng to take them there. Do you think that's okay?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, if you say this, it will be done, as long as your attitude is in place." Then he said to Yan Jiecheng: "Jiecheng, are you 30 years younger this year? It's time to stand up."

Silly Zhu also looked down upon him and sneered: "The third uncle's method of teaching children is useless! She is not as good as his wife. Let's go, let's not talk here. It's freezing." Yes. My food is almost ready...it's broken, don't let my bear eat it!" He was about to run in, but he saw a little girl in a cotton-padded jacket standing at the door with hanging flowers. Silly Zhu laughed and hugged her, showing off to Li Yuan: "Yuanzi, how are you? Look, my daughter Huaihua!"

Li Yuan: "..."

He casually took out a piece of white rabbit from his pocket and handed it to the little girl. Li Yuan smiled and said, "I haven't been back for only three years. Well, you have both children."

Silly Zhu laughed loudly and said: "That's right, it's better than Juehu!"

Xu Damao's face was deformed, he pointed at Silhu and glared: "Sinzhu, who are you talking about?"

Li Yuan persuaded him to make peace: "Forget it, he's talking about the uncle."

Negative sentiment from Yi Zhonghai +666!

Silly Zhu was not afraid: "I will tell whoever recognizes you!"

Zhao Xiaoju's eyes beside Xu Damao were red, and Li Yuan comforted him: "Sister-in-law, don't panic. I'll take a look for you later. It's not a big problem."

Silly Zhu also felt that he had gone too far. It was okay to scold Xu Damao. This little daughter-in-law usually didn't dare to say anything. It was a bit unethical to bully her, so he helped: "Yes, yes, my wife can give me a pair of children, that's right." Thanks to Yuanzi’s help.”

Zhao Jinyue's voice came from the front: "You silly Zhu, stop farting! Was it Yuanzi who helped me give birth to the child?"

The courtyard was filled with the cheerful laughter of the neighbors, and voices greeting Li Yuan kept coming and going.

Li Yuan said with emotion: "Every time I come back, I always bring great laughter to the people."

Zhao Xiaoju laughed...

"Uncle Eight!!"

Three nieces, Li Mei, Li He and Li Tao, happily came up to say hello. Li Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Have you all eaten?"

Li Mei smiled and said: "After eating, I just sent Li Chang back. Uncle Eighth, is Nineteenth naughty?"

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Let's talk about his matters when we get back. You all should also go home on Sunday."

Li Mei agreed, but said a little embarrassedly: "Wu Zhaoning and the others also want to go..."

Li Yuandao: "They will wait until the Chinese New Year to go, but now the family has not prepared anything. My uncle is a distinguished guest in front of the hall, so he cannot be neglected."

The three girls were immediately embarrassed. Li Mei blushed and said, "They are not considered distinguished guests. It would be great if they come to our door!"

Li Yuan disliked it: "You are so tough-talking. When I look back, I find it unpleasant, so it's your turn to cry. Okay, go back to the house and read a book. I'll sit at your uncle Zhuzhu's house for a while."

The three girls' faces turned a little pale, and they retreated uneasily, worrying that if their target really didn't catch their eighth uncle's eye, it would be terrible...

They dared to talk to their parents at home, but if Uncle Eight really said something he didn't agree with, it really couldn't happen.

If not for anything else, it was because after being hospitalized, I heard people say that Uncle Eight gave them three ladles of cold water every morning and sent them money to study...

"Hey, Aunt Jia, you still look so good. What did I say at the beginning? Aunt Jia will definitely live past eighty. Do you believe it now?"

Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang glaring at him not far away, Li Yuan greeted him cheerfully.

Mrs. Jia Zhang came over and said with a smile: "Yuanzi, you haven't been here for several years."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "That's right. Look, the Sophora japonica flowers at Brother Zhuzi's house are so big."

Mrs. Jia Zhang curled her lips and said: "Don't look at him being happy right now. There are two children at home. He will have to go to the countryside in two years! Our family is awesome. It has been almost ten years since we left. I don't know. Before I die, can I still see my eldest grandson?"

Xu Damao quacked: "Aunt Jia, don't you know? Many educated youths did not adapt after going there. Some died of illness and some committed suicide. I have seen a lot of them in Sichuan and Chongqing. In order to hide the truth from the superiors and fear of being held accountable, some places even Imitate children and write letters home to say you are safe..."

These words almost made Mrs. Jia Zhang faint from fright, her old face was as white as ashes, and she could no longer stand.

Li Yuan glanced at Xu Damao, tsk, how could this grandson be so bad?

Silly Zhu also scolded: "Thief Sun, can you speak human language?"

With tears in her eyes, Qin Huairu looked at Li Yuan and asked tremblingly: "Yuanzi, you have been to many places. Is what Xu Damao said true?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I don't know what other people are like, maybe this is the case. But don't worry about your awesome guy, it'll be fine."

Qin Huairu said hurriedly: "How do you know?"

Li Yuan said: "Nonsense! Because I have seen Bangge, of course I know it. But I was busy at the time, so I glanced at it from a distance. I am familiar with his self-made scrolls, just like Dongxu's back then. Aunt Jia, don't worry now Alright?"

As if holding a life-saving straw, Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at Li Yuan eagerly and said: "Yuanzi, are you telling the truth?"

Li Yuandao: "Of course it's true! Why did you say that Aunt Jia made several pairs of shoes for me back then? How can I lie to you? Don't worry, I've already asked. Banggeng is not married outside. Will he return in the future?" It’s easier when we’re in the city, and Bangge will definitely come back in a few years. I’m familiar with the local director, I’ve said hello to him, and he’s been designated as one of the first batch to come.”

Of course this is a fairy tale, the strong wind blows.

Banggeng doesn't need his help, it's in line with the policy, and he was the first batch to come back...

Mrs. Jia Zhang pursed her lips, wiped her tears, turned around and said to Qin Huairu: "Go to the house and take out the pair of cloth shoes. I made them specially for Yuanzi."

"Oh," Li Yuan said with a surprised smile, "Aunt Jia, did you really make me a pair of shoes? No need, right?"

Jia Zhang said: "Use! You must use it! Auntie made it specially for you. Your shoe size is about the same as Dongxu's, and I don't have anyone else to do it..."

Li Yuanle said: "Have you seen that our Aunt Jia is benevolent and righteous?"

Zhao Jinyue twitched her lips and said, "That's a one-on-one relationship with you! She sits in front of her house every day and curses everyone she sees."

Li Yuan helped explain: "That's a knife with a mouth and a tofu heart..."

The second aunt was also dissatisfied: "Last time at the supply and marketing cooperative, some rags were sold at a cheaper price. She rushed forward without queuing, and she was already in line before me. She forced herself to get in front and almost pushed me with her butt."

Mrs. Jia Zhang was quite proud: "You deserve it!"

Li Yuan was relieved, this is the original Zhang Erya that is most suitable for the uncle.

After taking the shoes from Qin Huairu, Li Yuan glanced at the little widow with some surprise. She was already forty years old, and she still rubbed her hand on his hand. The lotus skills were still the same as before.

He looked around and said with emotion: "It's great. This courtyard is still the same courtyard house back then."

Silly Zhu said: "Come on, let's go eat in the house, don't listen to their nonsense here."

Being besieged as expected...

After entering the house, Zhao Jinyue was still talking about Zhang Erya's crimes in the past few years, and winked at Silly Zhu frequently.

Silly Zhu ignored him, so she pushed aside Silly Zhu, sat down next to Li Yuan, and said: "Yuanzi, look, your eldest nephew is also twelve years old this year. In three or four years, he will really be here." At this age, if you don’t have a job, you have to go to the countryside..."

Silly Zhu Weng said: "Others can go to the countryside, but he can't?"

Zhao Jinyue ignored him, and Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "In this way, if He Dan can learn half of his father's cooking skills in four years, I will help him find a job then."

Datang Restaurant has designated the first batch of people to come to Beijing and is in short supply of good cooks.

Zhao Jinyue's whole face almost fell on Li Yuan's face, her big eyes were shining and she said: "Really?"

Li Yuan spread his fingers across her face and pushed her away, saying: "If you talk nonsense any more, it will be false. Go, go, go, it's not for you, it's for my brother Zhuzhu's sake."

Zhao Jinyue: "..."

Silly Zhu burst out laughing, and Zhao Jinyue almost burst out of anger. This piece of shit, his wife was pushed away with a cross in the face, but she was still smiling so happily.

Xu Damao was happy to see it, but he didn't dare to provoke his ex-wife. He just shouted with excitement: "Drink, drink!"

While we were drinking wine, the rain came back.

Although Yuyu was already married, he saw that Li Yuan was still close to him and said happily: "Brother Yuanzi is back?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Yu Yu, you are a big girl!"

He Yuyu said happily: "You are over thirty, haven't you grown up? Brother Yuanzi, I haven't seen you drinking like this for many years, are you still singing?"

These words immediately reminded people of what happened twenty years ago, and they all laughed.

Zhao Jinyue and Zhao Xiaoju didn't know. Zhao Xiaoju was embarrassed to ask, but Zhao Jinyue asked He Yuyu: "Yuyu, what's going on? Are you still singing?"

He Yuyu said: "They were only in their twenties at that time. Brother Yuanzi and my brother got together, and each of them got some food, drinks, and grilled food. When they were happy, they sang in the yard, and I borrowed the accordion. Brother Yuanzi can play the accordion and sings well. At that time, the whole courtyard was full of people. Everyone sang together. Later, it spread to the streets, and people on the streets also sang along. Even the people in the neighborhood committee were alarmed and came to praise them. We were killed. Alas, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. It was so good to be young at that time!"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "You are so old-fashioned. You are only in your thirties now, but you are still young. Don't you just sing? Then who, He Dan, come over and sing a song!"

He Dan looks exactly like a fool. Although he doesn't look very exciting and likes to grin, he lives up to his reputation and has great courage. He opens his mouth and says: "The sun is about to set in the west, and it is quiet on Weishan Lake." Play my beloved Tu Pipa and sing that moving song."

Everyone burst into laughter, and nine and a half of the ten notes were lost. It was too unpleasant to hear.

He Yuyu hugged his nephew's head, stuffed a candy into his mouth, grabbed a few more and put them in his pocket, saying, "Go and eat candy with your sister."

After the child left, Li Yuan drank the wine in the glass, looked out the window at the night, and sang acapella: "A big river with wide waves. The wind blows the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides..."

This is a song engraved in the blood of the nation. He only started to sing, and the people in the room began to sing along: "My family lives on the shore, and I am used to listening to the boatman's call, and I am used to seeing the white sails on the boat..."

Outside the house, the early wind blew fine snowflakes and swayed the old locust trees in the courtyard.

Several lights and several families are talking about the joys and sorrows of this world...
