Ming Zuo

Chapter 611 New Life

Dangdang... cuckoo cuckoo... dang dang... cuckoo cuckoo...

The sudden bell rang in the quiet bedroom, startling the sleeping couple together.

There is no beauty after a sweet dream, nor the tenderness after waking up.

The husband and wife jumped out of the bed like monkeys, each busy in their own way, and collided from time to time.

The man was yawning, looking for clothes indiscriminately, and nagging.

"You didn't prepare breakfast, did you?"

The woman is furious.

"My old lady was so tired that she finally had a good night's sleep. Why didn't you prepare breakfast for me?"

The man is angry.

"What's your name? Shouldn't all the housework belong to you?"

The woman picked up the pillow and threw it at it.

"My old lady works in the Education Bureau. She is so busy that she has no time to serve you."

The man staggered when he was hit, he couldn't help but lament.

This day is over.

It's a pity that the woman didn't respond to him, and hastily rushed out to wash up.

The man sat by the bed, looking at the messy room, his gloom deepened.

Just as he was getting angry, the woman quickly came back after washing.Open the closet, take out the clothes, compare them carefully, and start wearing them.

Men can't help it when they see women in shirts and uniforms.

"What a woman's family, what does she look like wearing these fancy clothes? It's depraved."

The girl glanced back at him, and snorted, "Both the commander and his wife are dressed like this, and everyone else is also dressed like this. Why not? You have the guts to tell the commander and his wife."

Do men dare?

Of course not.

He can only look up in his own room.

"I think back then we were the elders who stretched out our hands for clothes and opened our mouths for food, but now, we are as tired as donkeys."

The girl laughed when she heard this.

"Back when you took the imperial examination, you couldn't even pass the exam three times. Seeing the big house and the second house as officials, I was very envious. Now, you are dissatisfied when I give you the opportunity to work. In my opinion, you are a cheap bone , I need to clean up."

Manly grunting.

"If you dared to talk to me like that at the beginning, you wouldn't be able to serve your family."

The woman went over and punched him on the forehead.

"Family service? You try to touch my mother, let's go to the procuratorate to reason."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the man, and went on his own.

The man sat for a while longer, until the clock rang again, he realized that there was not enough time.

He walked out the door, came to the side room, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and he was really busy for a while before finishing.

Finally, I looked in the mirror, looked at the messy long hair, and couldn't help but sigh.

Just at this time, a middle-aged woman passed by with a basin full of clothes, and he hurriedly said, "Aunt Chun, come and help me comb my hair."

In the end, the woman just glanced at him and smiled.

"You have to pay more."

The man was furious.

"You work in my house, and I ask you to do something, but you want to pay more, what's the reason?"

The middle-aged woman looks like a servant at first glance, but she is not afraid.Instead, he said with a stick in his waist: "When I came here, it was agreed that I would only take care of the old man. But I didn't say I would take care of you. He is a big man with hands and feet, and he can't comb his hair or wear clothes. , just starve to death."

When it comes to bickering, where is a man's opponent?
His face was flushed, but he had no choice but to return to the room in despair.

When he opened the closet and saw the clothes full of clothes, he couldn't help but have a hard time.

On one side is a complicated and slender Taoist robe, and on the other is a neat uniform.

What should I wear?

The man didn't hesitate for too long, and took out the uniform very carefully.Like my wife, I can't help but wear shirts, uniforms, and leather shoes all the way.

"Heh heh heh, even if there are no servants to take care of me, sir, I'm still fine."

After tidying up, I came to the courtyard, where it was even more lively.

The old man nestled in the recliner and basked in the sun leisurely, while the children next to him laughed and ran and jumped, carefree.

The man walks over.

"Father, I'm going to work."

The old man didn't care, he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, do your job well. You don't have any skills, just don't make mistakes."

The boy was so hung up that he spurted out a mouthful of old blood and realized whether he hadn't read the almanac today.

While talking here, a young man also came over.

The tall and straight officer's uniform, neat and neat, walked with a whistling wind, and soon came to the front.

"Grandfather, fourth uncle, I'm going back."

The old man looked at the young man with relief on his face.

"Go back to the army and do things with your heart. Don't steal or play tricks. You will lose your father's face."

The young man said seriously: "Even if my grandson is on the battlefield, he will never fall behind."

He watched as the old man picked up the pipe and pot, and picked up the fire pocket to light it.But after shaking it several times, Huozhezi just didn't respond.

The young man hurriedly took out a small silver metal box from his pocket, flicked it lightly, the small cover opened with a clanging sound, and he stroked the gear lightly with his thumb, and a vigorous flame ignited immediately.

"Yeah, this thing is good."

Seeing that the old man wanted to see it, the young man quickly offered the lighter.

"This thing is already sold in the market now, and it is much more convenient to use than fire pockets."

The old man imitated his appearance and tried a few times, and he really felt that it was better than Huozhezi.

"This thing is really good."

After speaking, he took it away and put it in his pocket.

The young man was dumbfounded.

"Grandfather, this lighter..."

Old people play dumb.

"What machine?"

"lighter!"

"hit what?"

Young people are discouraged.

"Forget it, grandpa needs it, so I'll give it to you."

Only then did the old man laugh.

"Let's go, don't delay the time. The rules in the army are strict, and you will be punished carefully."

The young and middle-aged people walked out of the house together and stood at the door saying goodbye to each other.

"Fourth Uncle, my nephew is leaving. My father is far away in Jinan, so my grandfather entrusts you to serve me."

The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed.

"Look, look, I can't even take care of myself right now."

The young man pursed his lips and smirked.

"Fourth Uncle took off his robe and put on such a uniform. If he cut his long hair, he would be perfect and he would be a handsome man again."

The middle-aged man is humming.

"There is a Hedong lion at home, what's the use of me being a handsome man or not?"

The young man teased: "My aunt is doing things well now, and everyone sees it. If there is no accident, I am afraid that I will be promoted to the director of the Dengzhou Education Bureau before the end of the year. At that time, my aunt will be working outside, and you will be at ease."

The middle man was taken aback.

"What, she's going to be promoted to the city bureau chief?"

The middle-aged man's scalp tingles when he thinks that his wife's official position is higher than his own.

Seeing the effect, the young man hurried away for fear of being implicated.

"See you, fourth uncle."

Only the middle-aged man was left standing alone at the door, only to feel that today's sunshine was extremely glaring.

Looking back at the house number plaque at home, I was even more depressed.

"I think my Hou family is from a scholarly family, and the elder brother is in charge of the government. Why did I fall to such a point that I don't even have a maid?"

Someone happened to pass by and shouted when he saw him.

"Brother Ruokuan, haven't you gone to work yet? I'm afraid you will be late."

The middle-aged man was sober and couldn't help but yelled.

"Oh, don't dare to be late."

After all, his feet rushed like a law, rushed into the crowd, and integrated into his new life.
