Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 26 Yu Xiunan comes to visit

When Yao Weijun returned home, his father Yao Xiangui immediately questioned him.

Apparently, the family was working in the threshing floor in the morning and heard about Yao Weijun and the village party secretary's application for homestead land to build a house.

"Do you think building a house is just playing house? Oh, you can just pile up a few bricks and build it? You don't discuss such a big thing with your family first. It's really your fault!"

Yao Xiangui knocked on the table and continued: "Besides, where did you get the money to build the house? You didn't even say a word about it before you went out. If you don't have enough money to build it, the whole family will be embarrassed along with you!"

Every time you think about it, I wonder when you can change this bad habit! "

"Dad, don't worry about building a house. It doesn't cost the family money anyway. I can do it myself."

Yao Weijun frowned slightly and continued: "In addition, I am not a child anymore. I can make my own decisions on everything and take responsibility. So, if you don't understand the situation, just leave it here and give me a hard time. To put it bluntly, , the net is in a mess!"

Yao Weijun didn't give his father a good look this time, and his tone contained a hint of rebellion.

It is natural to honor your parents, but it is inevitable that parents will spend their whole lives digging for food, and their ideas and concepts will not keep up with the changes of the times. Instead of blindly accommodating and forbearing, it is better to simply state your stance and save yourself from having to explain for a long time every time you come back. trouble.

"Okay, this is what you said. When the house is half built and there is no money left, don't ask your family for it!"

Yao Xiangui's face turned livid, he angrily picked up his pipe and pot, and walked out of the house with his hands behind his back.

"Dad, it's time to eat soon, what are you doing here?"

Mother Zhu Mei was holding a broom in the yard and slapping the corn silk on her body. Seeing that her wife was about to go out, she quickly shouted.

"Go out and breathe!"

Yao Xiangui replied angrily, put his hands behind his back and planned to go out.

At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open first, and a crisp sound rang out.

"Uncle Xiangui, are the guards at home?"

Yu Xiunan stood pretty at the door of the courtyard and asked Yao Xiangui with a polite smile.

"Xiu Nan, you... have something to do with Jun Zi?"

Yao Xiangui was obviously taken aback, and his dark face immediately showed a smile, "The door is not the place to talk. Come in and talk, Jun Zi happens to be at home."

"Yes!" Yu Xiunan nodded generously and walked into the yard.

"Xiu Nan is here, hurry up, sit in the room, and Auntie will make you tea!"

When Zhu Mei heard the noise, she quickly put the broom on the window sill of the east side room, straightened her clothes, and came forward with a warm smile on her face.

"Hello, Auntie, you don't need to make tea, that would be very polite."

Yu Xiunan waved her hands quickly and glanced at Yao Weijun.

"Why are you back at noon?" Yao Weijun was also curious and couldn't help but ask.

In front of his parents, Yu Xiunan acted neither humble nor overbearing, and spoke very formally, lacking the playfulness she usually had when meeting Yao Weijun.

"It's like this, Weijun. Director Zhang of our school and his wife work in the commune. He called our village in the morning and wanted to inform you to go to the commune, but he couldn't get through. I happened to have no class in the afternoon, so Director Zhang asked me to call him. Please send a message to get to the commune before three o'clock in the afternoon."

"The commune is looking for me? Did I tell you anything specifically?"

Yao Weijun was puzzled and asked with a slight frown.

He immediately thought of buying and selling, but then he thought it was impossible.

Because if the commune was really investigating his business, they wouldn't have to make phone calls or have someone send a message, but they would definitely send someone directly to his door.

"I can't tell..." Yu Xiunan also showed doubts on his face and shook his head slightly.

"Junzi, have you committed something? Hey, why is the commune still targeting you?"

Zhu Mei had a panic look on her face, and she spoke a little arrogantly. "Stop saying a few words, Ren Xiunan is still here! Go and do what you need to do quickly. Why don't we just ask Junzi to go to the commune in the afternoon?"

Yao Xiangui stared at her anxiously. He was actually more panicked than his wife, but on the surface he was holding on, not wanting an outsider like Yu Xiunan to see the joke.

"Xiu Nan, it's just in time for dinner. Why don't you ask your aunt to cook more vegetables and have them at our house for lunch, haha..."

He laughed a few times and offered a symbolic invitation.

"Uncle Xin'er can't help but bring it to me. I'd better go home and eat."

Yu Xiunan waved her hands quickly, glanced at Yao Weijun vaguely, then turned and walked out of the yard.

The sound of people talking in the yard caught the attention of the second sister-in-law in the east room.

At this time, he quickly walked out of the house, looked at the door of the yard, and asked with curiosity on his face:

"Mom, that was the girl from Lao Yu's family in our village just now, right? A teacher from Li Wen's school. She came to our house to look for Lao Wu... What happened?"

Zhu Mei was about to speak when Yao Xiangui urged impatiently:

"Okay, don't be stunned, hurry up and start dinner, there are a lot of things to do in the afternoon!"

When he said this, the second sister-in-law Yan Suxia couldn't ask any more questions. She blinked in disappointment and turned around to follow her mother Zhu Mei into the dining tent.

"This time the commune asked you to go by name. Do you know what's going on?"

Yao Xiangui asked in a low voice while there was no one in the yard.

"Well, I guess it's close to ten."

Seeing his father's suspicious look, Yao Weijun patiently explained: "It should be a good thing.

Do you still remember that I caught two thieves in the middle of the night a few days ago?At that time, the village party secretary told me that he had reported this matter to the commune, and he probably asked me to come over now because of this matter. "

After hearing this, Yao Xiangui's face immediately relaxed. He seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden and was completely relaxed.

"Huh, I haven't told you what happened last time. How dare you rush up to two strong men? Do you want to risk your life? That means you are lucky. Otherwise, if those two guys get violent, your situation will be worse. very dangerous!"

"..."

Yao Weijun was too lazy to explain too much. He finally discovered that if he wanted to hear a word of praise from his father, it would be difficult for him to become the director of the commune tomorrow...

To save face outside, you would rather suffer a loss than to hold on; but at home, you just care about this and that, don't like anything you see, and never consider the feelings of your family when you speak.

The way my father manages the family is simply amazing.

But this is also the characteristic of most parents in this era, as if they are carved from the same mold.

while having lunch.

The excited smile on Yao Xiangui's face was undisguised. Without waiting for family members to ask questions, he told Yao Weijun that he was going to the commune to receive praise.

Yao Weijun estimated that his father would go to the threshing floor to pick corn in the afternoon, and he would definitely have to publicize this matter to the villagers countless times...

After finishing the meal, Yao Weijun didn't have time to take a sip of tea. Yao Xiangui urged him to leave quickly, sooner rather than later, so as not to delay the commune's business.

After leaving home, Yao Weijun rode his bicycle slowly along the village streets.

The family did not know that he bought the bicycle. Yao Weijun had always lied that he had borrowed it from a friend.

He deliberately took a long detour, and when passing by Yu Xiunan's house, he chatted loudly with several villagers and said hello on the street.

Soon, Yu Xiunan appeared at the door of her courtyard, signaled to Yao Weijun, then returned to the courtyard, and soon came out on a bicycle.
