Hello 1983

  Chapter 19 A family with a thousand members and one person in charge

  It wasn't until dark that the villagers who came to visit Liu Qingshan's house reluctantly returned home.

  While walking, they were chatting in groups of three and two, reckoning that this new thing would be enough for everyone to talk about until the Chinese New Year.

  Lin Zhi sent the outsiders away with a smile on her face, and when her family was left in the room, the smile on her face disappeared completely, and she began to complain:

   "Sanfeng, why do you buy so many things? How much does it cost?"

  The elder sister Liu Jinfeng is holding a red satin quilt and sticking it to her face. It is soft and slippery, so comfortable.

  Hearing what her mother said, she suddenly remembered, put down the quilt carefully, and then quickly walked to Liu Qingshan, pinching her brother's ear skillfully:

   "Say, how much money did you spend in total, and how much debt did you borrow?"

   "What kind of debt do you borrow? It's all your own money!"

   Liu Qingshan took out money while talking, and a thick pile of money was gathered, which dazzled the eyes of the family members.

   After being stunned for a long time, Liu Jinfeng yelled angrily: "Sanfenger, you are robbing a bank!"

  Liu Qingshan gave the eldest sister an angry look: "What can I do to break the law? This is all the money from selling Clivia, elder sister, take it and count it."

   This trick really worked, the eldest sister immediately let go of the stack of money, and then spread them on the kang one by one, and counted them.

  Rubbing his ears, Liu Qingshan raised three fingers and said to Lin Zhi: "Mom, Clivia sold for a total of 3,000 yuan."

so much? !

  Lin Zhi trembled slightly, looking at her father-in-law who was sitting in the kang.

  Liu Shikui nodded: "Yes, this is the wealth that Zijun left for our family."

  Hearing this, Lin Zhi was excited and sad at the same time, she lifted her skirt and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, and couldn't help but said, "Sanfenger, this year's Chinese New Year, secretly burn some paper for your father, and keep talking about it."

  The burning of paper was not allowed in the past few years, but in the past two years, it has been secretly burned again.

  Liu Qingshan nodded, and then took out another stack of newspapers: "When the time comes, burn another newspaper for my father."

  This kid is just ignorant, how could someone burn newspapers when he went to a grave, wouldn’t that be—

   Seeing a little reproach in his mother's eyes, Liu Qingshan cheerfully unfolded the newspaper and handed it to his mother: "Mom, look, I'm just announcing the good news to my father."

  What kind of happy announcement?

  Lin Zhi glanced at the newspaper, saw the name "Liu Qingshan" on it, immediately realized something, and looked excitedly.

  The second sister also came up to her, and exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, Sanfeng'er, you are in the newspaper, and you even saved a foreign guest. My brother is really amazing!"

  Although Xiao Sifeng'er didn't quite understand it, it didn't stop her from jumping and jumping on the ground, and kept shouting: "My brother is the best!"

   After reading the newspaper, Lin Zhi had already burst into tears, and the newspaper in her hand was soaked into two large sections.

  Her lips were trembling, she walked to the front of the cupboard, stared at the young and handsome face of her husband in the family portrait, couldn't help stretching out her hand tremblingly, and stroked it gently.

   "Zijun, have you seen it? Have you seen it? Our Sanfenger is promising, have you seen it?"

  Seeing this situation, the eldest sister and the second sister also sobbed.

   In the past, their father was the big tree that sheltered them from wind and rain. Now, their younger brother has also grown into a new big tree!

  Si Feng'er, who didn't know what was going on, could only timidly pull Lin Zhi's skirt and mutter: "Mother, don't cry, don't cry."

  Lin Zhi wiped away her tears, bent down and touched the little guy's head: "Sifeng, mother is not crying, mother is happy."

   "Hee hee, I'm happy too, I'm the happiest today!" Si Feng'er became cheerful again.

   After the family gradually calmed down, Liu Qingshan told the story of entering the city, and Liu Shikui added a few words from time to time.

  In the end, don’t look at the many things, in fact, it really didn’t cost much.

   **** chickens and chicks are all given by Professor Wang;

  The Sanyo dual-card recorder was given by Thomas, and the canned milk powder was also bought by him. Liu Shikui was not willing to eat it in the hospital.

  These and that pair of round mirrors are the wishes of Wu Jianjun and Gangzi.

  What Liu Qingshan really bought was a radio and two Shanghai watches, which cost nearly 300 yuan in total.

   There are other small things that cost dozens of dollars.

   It only cost less than 80 yuan to treat grandpa's illness. Some expenses were reduced because of Wu Jianjun's relationship.

  So, Liu Jinfeng counted the great unity that was full of kangs, and found that there were more than two thousand.

   "Sister, don't count money like this in the future. If our family makes a lot of money, then you still have to shop money all over the yard."

   After reconciling the accounts, Liu Qingshan couldn't help laughing and teasing.

   Liu Jinfeng, who was in a good mood, didn't care about it, and turned around and handed all the money to grandpa.

  But Liu Shikui waved his hand, did not accept the money, but pointed to Liu Qingshan and said: "From now on, Sanfenger will be the head of our family."

  Everyone was stunned. Although the children of the poor have already started their own families, isn't it too early?

   "Dad, this is not appropriate, Sanfeng'er is still in school."

  Although Lin Zhi also felt that her son had grown up and became sensible recently, in terms of age, he was still half a child.

  Liu Shikui raised his hand to stop his daughter-in-law, and said, "Zhi'er, there are thousands of people in the family, and one person in charge. Your mother and I are getting old, and so are you. We can't keep up with the times."

   Entering the city this time, Liu Shikui completely refreshed his understanding of his grandson, so he felt that it was the wisest choice to hand over the family to his grandson.

  Lin Zhi stopped arguing, took the money silently, and put it in front of her son.

  My status seems to be rising a bit fast, right?

  Liu Qingshan thought for a while, and then pushed the money back: "Master, mother, I will help you make up your mind about the family affairs, but it's better for you to keep the money."

   After finishing speaking, he added with a smile: "Mom, when I want money to spend in the future, don't be reluctant to do it."

  You child!

  Lin Zhi smiled and glared at his son: "As long as you are using it, the family will support you."

  Liu Qingshan suddenly became energetic, with his hands behind his back and his chest up, he walked around the room twice, and then said to the elder sister:

   "Comrade Liu Jinfeng, I will be the head of the family from now on, so please take care of your fingers and don't pick my ears easily."

   "Even if you go to heaven, you are also my younger brother!"

   Liu Jinfeng didn't care about it, he made a gesture and twisted his ears.

  The long-lost laughter echoed in this dilapidated hut.

   This family, this family, haven't been this happy for a long time!

  Liu Qingshan could only hurry to beg for mercy: "Don't, don't, big sister, do you still want the Shanghai watch?"

  Of course Liu Jinfeng also knew that her younger brother was trying to make the family happy, and she was just cooperating.

  Glittering, heavy Shanghai watch, who doesn’t like it, one watch, one hundred and twenty, worth several months’ wages.

  Especially this piece is for women, it looks more compact and delicate, worn on the wrist, it is definitely the kind of sleeves rolled up in winter.

  But she shook her head in the end, and said to her younger sister, "Let's put it on Erfeng. She needs to watch the time for class and exams."

  Liu Yinfeng hugged the tape recorder tightly, and shook her head vigorously: "No need, big sister, I just have this tape recorder, and I can wake up laughing from my dreams."

   After finishing speaking, she looked at Liu Qingshan again and said: "Sanfenger, I will help my sister record the tape in a while, first record all the texts."

   "Sure!"

  Liu Qingshan specially bought a lot of blank tapes. In addition to the texts, he also plans to record some daily expressions and talk about various grammars. It is almost enough for the current foreign language test.

   After finishing speaking, he took out the men's watch again and said, "Sister, I bought this specially for you and brother Wen Wen. You really don't want a couple's watch?"

   "Ah! Does he have it too?"

   Liu Jinfeng's face flushed a little.

   "Well, that's it, it's the first time the head of my family speaks, what's wrong?"

  Liu Qingshan deliberately waved his arm, and then couldn't help asking: "By the way, Brother Wenxue, why haven't I seen Yinger for most of the day?"

   "He, he is really a nerd now!"

  Liu Jinfeng pursed her lips. Although she was complaining, her face was full of sweetness.

  Speaking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, he saw the door of the house was pushed open, and Gao Wenxue ran in excitedly.

   After entering the door, he went straight to Liu Qingshan, yelling excitedly: "Qingshan, I just heard that Uncle Ganzi said that you are back, please help me to see!"

   After speaking, he stuffed a thick stack of manuscript paper into Liu Qingshan's hands.

   Then he saw Liu Shikui sitting on the top of the kang, Gao Wenxue scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "Master, your eyes are healed? How about you help me take a look?"

  Stupid!

   Liu Jinfeng glared at Gao Wenxue: "Master's eyes are just right, don't be tired."

   Then he leaned over happily: "Look, this is the Shanghai watch that Master and Qingshan bought for you, try it on."

  Shanghai watch!

  Gao Wenxue wasn't really dumbfounded, he shook his head and waved his hands: "No, I don't want such an expensive thing."

   "Here it is for you, put it on!"

   Liu Jinfeng was not used to him, so he did it directly.

   Of course, it was not about beating someone, but about helping the subject wear a watch.

   Sifenger, who was watching the excitement, joined in with a smile: "Brother Wenxue, you don't want it, I want it."

   "Don't make trouble, I will ask your second sister to draw a watch on your neck later."

  Liu Jinfeng pulled the antenna braids of the fourth child, then put the watch on Gao Wenxue, looking at it happily, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

  Drawing watches is also the current trend. Children at home, seeing adults wearing watches get excited, use a ballpoint pen or pen to draw a watch on the neck of the hand.

   That's all, it'll last a long time.

  Si Feng'er pouted her mouth, looked around in circles, and threw herself on Liu Qingshan's lap: "Brother—"

   "Okay, when Si Feng'er goes to school, I'll buy you a digital watch."

  Looking at her small appearance, Liu Qingshan couldn't help laughing.

   "Really good!"

  The little girl cheered: "Then I will be in the first grade soon, I am seven years old!"

   "Only your brother can spoil you!"

  Lin Zhi poked the fourth child's small forehead, and the laughter in the room continued.
