1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 551 Gifts are still more important than mom and dad

After Luo Tao and his wife visited Miyun Villa, they stayed here for one more day and then set off back to the city.

When passing through Huai County on the way back, I wanted to go visit the village, but when I thought that the Wang family's aunts had moved into the city with Minyi, there was no point in going there, so I had to give up.

Minyi and his brothers have been in the city for the past two years. With Luo Tao's help, they are doing a good job in the clothing business in Xiushui.

They can earn tens of thousands of yuan a year. When they have money, they don't mess around. They are very smart and spend a lot of money to buy a house.

Luo Tao originally thought of giving them the small courtyard they lived in at first, which was a good idea, but his brother is also a person of courtesy, so he will not accept life or death.

Later, they had no choice but to give in. For a token fee of tens of thousands of yuan, the courtyard was transferred to the two brothers.

This is worthy of their family's care and affection in the past.

As for the future path?It still depends on the two brothers themselves, Luo Tao can only help symbolically, it is impossible to support them all the time.

mid-may.

The weather was sunny and refreshing, and the couple finally returned to Baihua Courtyard.

He hadn't seen the little girl for several days, and she didn't show any happiness on her face. Luo Tao only saw her swollen cheeks.

After seeing his hometown, Zhu Lin walked towards the little girl with a smile and took her chubby hand, "What's wrong, girl, is your brother bullying you again?"

"No, my brother loves me the most."

As he spoke, his little nose twitched, and his little tears fell like pearls.

Not to mention how wronged I am.

Zhu Lin understood that the child missed them both, so he hugged her with difficulty.

Wiping the little girl's eyes carefully, she comforted softly, "Okay, okay, isn't mom back now? Don't cry. Let's see what gift mom brought you this time?"

The little girl couldn't stop sobbing, but she still endured the sadness when faced with the gift, wiped her tears and turned around to take a look.

In the hearts of children, no matter how sad things happen, they can't stop their curiosity.

Luo Tao was like a tool man at this time, quickly taking out the gift he had prepared in advance from his bag.

"Dangdangdang..."

Luo Tao waved the gift in his hand in front of her eyes and asked her, "Tell dad what this is?"

When she saw the gift that Luo Tao brought out, her face was filled with a smile, and she raised her head and sobbed with joy.

"Beautiful shuttlecock."

The little girl has always wanted to have a genuine shuttlecock, but all the big roosters at home have entered the Five Zang Temple. In addition to a few old hens in the family's poultry, there is also a pair of mandarin ducks.

When the little girl saw that other children had beautiful feather shuttlecocks, she naturally wanted one too, being a child at heart.

This request is not too much and must satisfy her little wish.

She did it, but within two days after it was in her hand, the hair on the shuttlecock was gone, and she didn’t know what kind of extraordinary power the child had used.

This girl is young and extremely destructive. The reason why the shuttlecock is hairless is because she is very active, can't control her hands, and likes to pull out her hair whenever she has nothing to do.

She just pulled it out and never wanted to put it back. In this way, it took two days, but the shuttlecock was almost hairless in one day.

Knowing that she had this problem, I naturally wouldn't let her get used to it, so I just gave her a plastic haircut.

The little girl must be unhappy, but since she is inferior to others, she can only accept it pitifully.

Zhu Lin saw that the shuttlecock he had worked so hard to make was about to become Luo Tao's credit, without the elegance and solemnity of the queen, so he snatched it without saying a word.

"like or not?"

Of course the little girl liked it, and took it from her mother Zhu Lin's hand. She smiled with tears in her eyes, and carefully played with the very beautiful chicken feathers with her chubby hands.

"Is this the only gift?"

This little girl is a bit greedy, and she can't even get rid of such a good gift.

Zhu Lin smiled and said: Yes, yes.

With a look, Luo Tao quickly handed her the bag.

The couple carried the gifts and went straight into the house.

"It turns out that I am a dispensable person."

"You just know."

My wife, Su Guilan, walked past Luo Tao and said leisurely.

what does it mean?

Is this flattering or causing trouble?
Hearing a "puff" laugh, Luo Tao turned his head and looked at Ermei coldly, this unruly solid eye.

This girl is not only honest, but also has a bad mind.

When she saw Luo Tao looking at her like this, she knew she was in trouble, so she quickly lowered her head and held a small half bag of country specialties in one hand.

Seeing that she wanted to run away, but it would not make her happy, he immediately stopped her.

"stop!"

"Mr. Luo, I didn't mean it... I just couldn't hold it back. Don't worry, I won't laugh again next time. Seriously, I do what I say."

Look at what he said. This Ermei definitely grew up drinking the northwest wind. He talks like crazy and can't even speak a word.

"Come on." You can't let her explain, the more you explain, the darker it is, what is meant by unintentional.

I still can't hold it back, what?You are a professional.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" He quickly took out a handful of coins from his pocket and slapped them into her hand.

She was very surprised why she was given so much money. Was this asking him to go home?

"Your family brought us a total of 530 yuan. Count carefully."

When it comes to the money earned by that family, my dear, my mouth is almost grinning to the base of my ears.

Keep your eyes on the money in your hand.

The small half bag of souvenirs lost their aroma instantly, so I just put them aside.

"Thank you Mr. Luo."

Luo Tao rolled his eyes at her, grabbed the small half bag of local products and carried it into the house.

For Ermei, Luo Tao and his wife regarded her as their younger sister. Not only was she young, but she was also mentally unscrupulous.

At best it sounds honest, but at worst it sounds stupid.

She has just turned 30 and is a mother of three children. Her eldest son is already 11 years old and will soon enter junior high school.

Her family also has a strong preference for boys over girls. The first two children were girls, and only the third child gave birth to a boy. Only then did she complete her mission as a daughter-in-law.

Her little boy is just over three years old this year. As a mother, Zhu Lin sympathizes with her very much. Last year, she even asked her to bring her three children to Beijing to play.

She agreed in front of Zhu Lin, and after returning home, she deliberately forgot about it.

After the New Year, the couple came to Beijing with a large bag of things from her hometown. As for the children, they also brought them, but it was just a photo taken of their family during the New Year.

Ermei is a real person and has no bad intentions.

After a while, I heard Sister He talking about her.

"Hey, I said I couldn't find you, but you were squatting here. Where did you get so much money?"

She was silly and showing off, "Sister, my family asked Mr. Luo to bring this to me."

Then he said in a low voice and gestures: "530 yuan."

"Hey, you are considered a rich man, should you treat me to a meal?" Sister He pointed at the money she was holding tightly in her hand and said jokingly.When it comes to money, she is a cockroach.

He quickly put it in his pocket.

"Then what...sister, I'm going to buy groceries today, you have the day off."

After saying that, he stood up, patted his butt, and quickly went to the kitchen.

Sister He looked at her stingy back and said, "Er Mei, you are truly worthy of being Zhu Zhu's wife. Both of you love money."

She followed him to the kitchen as she spoke.

Ermei came out with a vegetable basket, and even quibbled for herself, "Sister, I'm really not picky."

After looking at the north and east rooms and seeing no one else, he pulled her out and whispered as he walked: "This is the money I saved for my three children to go to school."

Sister He asked in confusion: "Ermei, how much does it cost to send a child to school in your hometown? Don't make excuses."

Ermei didn't believe Sister He and was a little anxious, "Sister, am I that kind of person? I want to bring all three of them to the capital in the future."

Sister He was shocked by what she said. She walked to the door and stopped.

He held her arm tightly and looked at her seriously, "Did you think of this yourself, or Zhu Zi?"

"Don't he think the same thing as I do?"

Sister He looked around the courtyard and poked Ermei, asking her to go out. She gently closed the door.

The two sisters walked down the steps and walked side by side to the west entrance of the alley.

"Don't look down on me. It's a good thing that you want your children to go to school in the capital, but have you ever thought about what you can do to get your children's household registration in the capital?

...Don't always think about relying on Mr. Luo to do things for you. I know that he doesn't like others to use his banner outside..."

Sister He saw through Ermei's little plan at a glance.

"What should I do?"

When Sister He saw this stupid sister, she was instigated by her family members to do bad things again.

I really regretted letting her come to Beijing.

"What should I do? Don't listen to that guy from your family anymore. He is just dishonest and... made you unhappy with Mr. Luo and Teacher Zhu."

"Sister, Zhu Zhu is not as bad as you said. He just thinks too fast... We don't want to make Mr. Luo and Teacher Zhu unhappy."

Even now, Ermei is still determined to protect the face of her family.

"Just protect him! In short, if he comes up with such a bad idea again in the future, don't follow him into the wall.

When doing things here, we have to abide by the rules and don't be too casual like in the countryside. Mr. Luo's family treats us well because they are good people, but not everyone in the capital is a good person.

...and you can't do that when it comes to your children going to school. "

Ermei felt that what Sister He said made sense and nodded frequently along the way.

Sister He is the one who really understands, she sees the problem more thoroughly, and dare not say that it hits the nail on the head, that's because you have self-knowledge.

Let’s look back at Luo Tao and his wife.

"These two are quite leisurely. They bicker with each other all the time when they see each other."

"Ahem, they are just passing the time out of boredom. Girl, are you right about what dad said?"

Luo Tao watched lovingly as he sat on the kang and played with the architectural ironing patterns.

This gift was made by Master Wang and others before they designed the Miyun Courtyard, which was similar to the "style thunder" ironing pattern.

Since a lot had changed since then, some of the hot samples were discarded. This time I happened to know about them when I went there, so I begged them from them and brought them back as a gift for my son.

The hot samples they made cannot be compared with the hot samples of "Style Thunder", and can only compete with later models.

"Yes, Dad, you're right." At this time, her heart was entirely focused on this new toy, and her answer was extremely perfunctory.

"This child's answer was too perfunctory...she just likes these novel things."

Zhu Lin was particularly happy to see Luo Tao eating his daughter's pussy.

"Deserved!"

This is Zhu Lin's highest evaluation.

Within ten minutes, fate still did not favor this pavilion-style perm.

At this moment, the roof of it has been lifted by the little girl, and only four wooden pillars are left stable. It continues to fight hard against the "evil forces".

At this moment, it is neither a fight nor a fight.

In the end, I could only say to Xiao October, "Your gift was damaged by your sister."

..........................................................................................

Since returning to the city from the countryside, the couple have accompanied the little girl every day, taking her to play around the city.

During the early summer, I would go on an outing and sometimes take her to inspect the factories owned by Xichang in the city.

For example, the father and daughter often go to the cultural and creative studio.

The location of this studio is particularly interesting. It is a famous "underground city" in Beijing, also known as "civil air defense fortifications".

The most famous underground city in Beijing is located at the intersection of Caochang Wutiao and Xixinglong Street in DC District.

Construction of this underground city began in 1969 and lasted for ten years, ending in 1979.

The closest point to the ground is eight meters, and the deepest point is more than ten meters. I heard it is twenty to thirty kilometers long and can accommodate more than 30 people. I don’t know whether it is true or not.

This location is not a top-secret location, it is already open for business.

In 1980, Underground City used part of the civil air defense fortification to open the Qianmen Arts and Crafts Service Department, which deals in the Four Treasures of the Study, enamel jade, jewelry, celebrity calligraphy and painting, travel medicinal materials and other various handicrafts.

If you can really go and visit it in the 21st century, you can find memories of the past there.

It's such a place worth visiting.

Luo Tao has never been there even once.

I heard that I must have heard that, "Dig a hole deep, accumulate food widely, and don't seek hegemony." He often shouted these political slogans.

Since its opening to the outside world in 1980, until its opening and closing in 2008, it has been prosperous for more than 20 years.

This time, I also borrowed the help of my daughter to buy a few tickets to visit.

Due to the small area of ​​the development area, I just walked around and hurried out.

It's not because there is no air underneath. These issues were naturally taken into consideration when building the underground city. A total of more than 2000 special ventilation holes were designed to continuously transport fresh air to the underground city.

Luo Tao just had a simple sensory discomfort. He felt uncomfortable without seeing the sun for most of the day.

Luo Tao is not very optimistic about their choice of such a place. He thinks that it is okay for a short time, but working in the underground city for a long time is not good for the body.

This is just a small group of ceramic painting workers. Most of the cultural and creative staff are over there in Xishan.

They chose to open a studio in the underground city because the superiors took special care of them and also wanted them to earn some foreign exchange.

It's a good thing, but working long hours underground is a little less thoughtful.

In order to take care of the boss's face, Luo Tao asked members of his ceramic painting team to come here on duty in turns.

Come and experience a different work experience.
