Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

"Okay, Brother Liang, please wait a moment!"

The long-haired young man was scolded and did not dare to reply, so he quickly walked out of the yard under the cover of night.

Not long after, Hou Liang quietly locked the door and left, the cotton coat wrapped tightly around him disappearing into the night.

……

After Yao Weijun and Xu Wenyuan walked back to the entrance of the cinema, the young men were still smoking and playing in the corner. The motorcycles were parked there without any accidents.

There are already a lot of car thefts these days, especially at the end of the year, when thieves become even more prevalent. If no one is watching a motorcycle like Yao Weijun's, it won't be able to stop for a while before someone will pry open the lock and ride away.

"Brother Xu, thank you for your hard work tonight. You followed me and endured the cold all night. Now that the matter is done, I will send you back as soon as possible."

Yao Weijun came to the motorcycle, handed Xu Wenyuan a cigarette, and said with a smile.

"It's a small matter. We don't need to be so polite between friends. It's already midnight. It's not safe for you to ride a motorcycle back to the village by yourself. How about you spend the night at my house and go back tomorrow morning."

Xu Wenyuan took a puff of cigarette and suggested sincerely.

"No, my family told me to go back early when I came out in the afternoon. If I don't see anyone all night, I might be in a hurry. Brother Xu, let's go!"

Yao Weijun started his motorcycle and drove Xu Wenyuan away from the cinema.

He first sent Xu Wenyuan home, and then took advantage of the night to return to Jiachang Village.

By the time we got home, it was already past eleven o'clock at night.

It was his father Yao Xiangui who opened the door, and then Yu Xiunan also ran out of the house. Apparently he heard the movement of the motorcycle and knew that Yao Weijun was back.

"In this cold weather, from now on, try to go out and do things during the day and come back early at night!"

Yao Xiangui felt sorry for his fifth son's hard work and couldn't help frowning and admonishing him.

"I know, Dad, you can go to bed early. I'm going back to the house." Yao Weijun parked his motorcycle, said to his father, and then entered the house with Yu Xiunan.

The warm breath that hit his face made Yao Weijun feel extremely comfortable. He took off his cotton coat and was about to sit down when Yu Xiunan had already brought warm water in an enamel basin, signaling that he would wash his feet to relieve his fatigue.

"Xiu Nan, you are inconvenient now, I can do it myself. Put the basin there."

After Yao Weijun finished speaking warmly, he went to the outhouse to wash his hands and face, then sat on a chair in the bedroom and soaked his feet comfortably.

"You have a holiday today, and our business has also stopped. During the next period, all that is left is to think about food and drink every day. Xiunan, tell me what delicious food you want to eat starting tomorrow, and I will cook it for you!"

He smiled and said to Yu Xiunan.

"No, you've been running around so hard these days. Now that you're resting, it's my turn to prepare some delicious food for you. It's getting late, so wipe your feet and go to bed early."

Yu Xiunan handed over the towel and signaled softly.

Yao Weijun felt relaxed, dried his feet, poured water for washing his feet, then went to bed to rest, and fell asleep quickly.

Silent all night.

After breakfast the next day, he did not rest at home, but rode his motorcycle to Gejiacun.

In addition to settling the clothing processing fee with Dou Lili, I also brought some food and drink items bought from the capital, intending to send them to the third sister's house.

Today is another sunny day. The sun shines on the country road, creating a unique and beautiful picture.

The sun is shining brightly in the morning, but the cold wind is like a sharp knife, which hurts my face. The winter is bitter and the north wind is howling. Fortunately, the warm sun in winter is like a brave warrior, piercing through the cold wind without fear and shining brightly. earth.

Under the sunshine, the remaining snow on the roof seemed to give the village a black and white coat. The trees on both sides of the road had sparse snow cone hanging on their branches, as if they were inlaid with countless sparkling diamonds. Sparkling.

The winter sunshine makes people feel the beauty and tranquility of life, as if it is a song praising life, warming every corner.

Yao Weijun rode his motorcycle and quickly arrived at Gejiacun. When he walked into the garment processing yard, he happened to meet Aunt Liu Cui coming out of the room where the goods were stored with a pile of cotton coats. The latter couldn't help but shouted in surprise:

"The guards are here. Come and sit in the room. Lili seems to have gone out in the morning. She will be back soon. You can just wait for her!"

"I know, Aunt Cui, you are busy with your business and don't worry about me." Yao Weijun nodded happily, parked his motorcycle and walked into the processing site.

"Third sister, please come out."

He shouted to his third sister, Yao Weifang, who was immersed in her work. The latter looked up when she heard the shout, suddenly smiled with joy, got up briskly and walked over.

"Guardian, why are you here today? What's the matter?"

Yao Weifang pulled Yao Weijun out of the house and walked straight to another room, asking with a smile as she walked.

"Can't I come and see you?"

Yao Weijun asked back, then pointed to the pocket tied on the back seat of the motorcycle and said, "Hey, it's not the New Year, I brought you some New Year's goods, and I have to wait for Lili to come back now, so why don't we go home first? Unloading things will save you time."

"Oh, what new year gifts did you bring me? Just keep them at home. I have earned a lot of money now. Just prepare whatever you need for your brother-in-law to buy."

The third sister, Yao Weifang, complained, but with a moved smile on her face, she whispered.

"Stop being pretentious here, hurry up, let's go home!"

Yao Weijun did not continue walking to another room, but motioned to the third sister to walk toward the motorcycle together.

"By the way, my brother-in-law has been back from the kiln factory for a while, right? What about An Hong, An Gang, and the others, are they all on vacation too?"

Yao Weijun pushed onto the motorcycle, turned around and asked with a smile.

"Well, your two nephews have already been on vacation from school, and your brother-in-law stays home every day. In addition to cleaning the house and feeding the livestock at home, he also insists on coming to Lili to learn how to make clothes. Phew...I can't even do that. This person is going crazy when he sees that I can make more money than him!"

The third sister Yao Weifang couldn't help but smile bitterly when she talked about her man.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry. When work starts next year, you can go over and help. There is no need to learn how to make clothes from a bunch of old ladies. What will it look like to outsiders?"

Yao Weijun shook his head speechlessly, not knowing what to say about the brother-in-law in his impression.The brother-in-law's name is Ge Huailin. He is the same age as the third sister. He has a simple and honest personality. He is also very kind to the third sister and is especially able to endure hardships and earn money.

Now I live apart from home, and during slack periods, I work part-time in the kiln factories in the joint venture area to earn hard money every month, just to make my family's life better.

Yao Weijun had already made plans to wait until the spring of next year to arrange a job for his brother-in-law, so that he would not have to work hard in the kiln factory. He was sweating profusely and working hard. He was not worthy of the punishment.

The siblings walked in the village and arrived at the door of their house after a while.

The third sister, Yao Weifang, pushed open the courtyard door and asked Yao Weijun to push the motorcycle in.

"Huailin, the guards are coming!" Yao Weifang shouted into the house, and a response came from the food store on the east side of the courtyard wall.

"The kid's uncle is here. Come on, come in and sit down!"

Before he finished speaking, his brother-in-law Ge Huailin appeared from the grain store. He was of medium build. He was wearing a cotton waistcoat and had sweat stains on his forehead. He was obviously busy.

"Brother-in-law, how come you have repaired the food store so well? Is there a rat in there?"

Yao Weijun asked with a smile and greeting.

"Hey, don't mention it. In addition to the two mouse holes, the ground in the grain store is also a little caved in. I thought about tamping it down and adding some mud to cover it again, so as not to attract more mice."

Ge Huailin wiped his sweat, picked up the cotton coat from the handle of the cart outside the grain store and put it on, and explained with some distress:
"You can't beat a few grains of grain all year round. What's the point of letting rats eat it? Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I took advantage of the good weather today to start packing. Come in quickly, Guardsman. It's cold outside. Let's sit down and chat in the house. .”

"Why are you so anxious? My brother is here to deliver New Year's goods to us. The things haven't been unloaded yet. Please lend a hand and help the guards carry the things in!"

Third sister Yao Weifang frowned and reminded that in this family, she has the final say on all matters big and small. Ge Huailin usually only listens and listens.

Of course, Yao Weifang is not messy. When it comes to living a good life, she is no worse than Ge Huailin. The latter agrees from the bottom of his heart and is willing to listen to his wife's arrangements for everything at home.

"Hey! So many things?! Weijun, you... why are you spending this money? I already gave your sister so much money before, and now you are buying something again. How embarrassing for us!"

When Ge Huailin saw the items tied to the back seat of the motorcycle, he felt happy and said politely.

"Okay, the guards have good intentions, so don't say those things that are out of sight. Hurry up. I'll go inside to make tea for the guards."

Yao Weifang waved her hand to urge him, and then walked towards the house.

"Third sister, stop making tea. I can't sit here for a while and I have to leave. Let's just stay in the room and talk. Just listen to me!"

Yao Weijun stopped him. Just as he was about to ask about his two nephews, he heard a surprise shout from inside the room: "Brother, uncle, you are here!"

The two nephews, An Hong and An Gang, ran out of the house quickly and pounced on Yao Weijun, with a look of excitement on their little faces.

Yao Weijun rubbed the hair of his two nephews and asked a few questions, then walked into the house together.

"Third sister, how do you feel about the garment processing side?"

After comforting his two nephews, he asked Yao Weifang.

"Well... how should I put it? It should be almost done. Anyway, it's just the denim you brought over last time. Later I tried to process the jeans independently, and the shape that came out was pretty good. Lili didn't think it was too big after looking at it. question."

Yao Weifang pondered for a moment and then said seriously.

Now that they were in their own home, they didn't have to guard against outsiders, so Yao Weifang stopped hiding and told the truth.

"That's good. In this way, you can start working hard next year. Third sister, if you can do well in the clothing industry, you can make a lot of money. You will know by then!"

Yao Weijun smiled lightly with an encouraging tone, and then asked: "By the way, Lili is not watching at the scene today, do you know what she is doing?"

"She, ha..." Yao Weifang shook his head and smiled, and explained: "You have come to settle with her several times before. I guess you have more money in your hands and you have more ideas."

"Oh? Where do you start talking about this?" Yao Weijun's heart moved. Although he had expected such a result, he still wanted to know more clearly through the third sister.

"Isn't her man working in the county town? He has also returned from vacation these days. The couple was muttering in the house, which happened to be heard by Aunt Cui, who secretly told me...

Dou Lili's man thinks that their family will suffer a loss by cooperating with you. Now that he has money, there is no need to do so, so he urges Dou Lili to go out to find clients during the Chinese New Year. This is obviously because he wants to bypass you and the couple can go it alone! "

After finishing speaking, the third sister Yao Weifang curled her lips with an angry look on her face.

In her opinion, the reason why Dou Lili was able to make money from clothing processing was all because of her family's fifth son, Yao Weijun. As a result, now that she had some capital, she wanted to break up the team and go it alone, which was a bit of a bad character.

"Third Sister, this kind of thing is normal. People's hearts are like this. Once you have enough food, clothing and clothing and some money in your hand, you will become greedy. It's okay. I understand what Lili and his wife are doing. Let them go. Bar."

Yao Weijun still had a faint smile on his face, but he comforted Yao Weifang.

"No, why aren't you angry at all, Lao Wu? Others don't know about today's clothing processing, but I know it very well. Without you bringing in orders and spending money to buy sewing machines and stuff, how could I make so much money now?"

The third sister, Yao Weifang, was very puzzled and couldn't help snorting, "Huh, Lili and his wife are so shameless in handling this matter. I want to see how she can have the nerve to say it out!"

"Actually, being separated from her may not be a bad thing for us."

Yao Weijun continued with a smile: "Third sister, do you still think that I thought too badly of Lili when I asked you to learn the art of making clothes as soon as possible?"

"Hey, who would have thought that she would be like this at first, but I think it mainly has to do with the men in her family. I guess she earned some money by working in the county. When I came back, I saw that I could earn so much money from clothing processing, but the majority of it still had to be divided. If I give it to you, I will naturally feel unhappy."

Yao Weifang explained with a helpless smile, but her impression of Dou Lili was still very bad and she continued to criticize her.

"Okay, Third Sister, believe me, this matter has little impact on us. There is no need to ruin your mood for Dou Lili. Aren't you and Aunt Cui already successful? Then you will take over from now on. Dou Lili can still run the garment factory!"

Yao Weijun smiled calmly and said: "I have already made a plan, and we will start it in the spring of next year!"

"I know this matter has little impact on us, but I am just angry at what Dou Lili and his wife did, and I always feel uncomfortable in my heart!"

Yao Weifang still said angrily.

"Well, you can't be so angry. Anyway, you have already learned the craft, so let them do whatever they want! The guards can see far and have already guessed what the couple was thinking, so we didn't suffer any loss!"

At this time, Ge Huailin, who had been listening quietly, smiled and comforted, and finally gave Yao Weijun a thumbs up. (End of chapter)
