How to Thrive in the ’60s

Yun Chang put the remaining three silk scarves together and said to the old lady, "Mother, these silk scarves are mine, and I will tie them when I grow up."

"Such a good thing, quickly put it away as a dowry!"

After Yunshang was finished, Gu Shinian took out the things he bought in Shenshi from his bag.

"Grandma Yun, this is a pound of white sugar, which is for Ah Chang and Shuanzi to drink. This is two pounds of wool, so you can knit two sweaters for Ah Chang. Here are two work clothes, one for Aunt Yun and one for Auntie Yun. Aunt Wang wears it during Chinese New Year. These are special cakes to eat at home during Chinese New Year. This is chocolate. I bought it from the Friendship Store. If children don't eat well, it is for you, Grandpa Yun, and Aunt Yun. …”

Gu Shinian used the express delivery visible to the naked eye, and placed another kang full of gifts.

The old couple was probably psychologically prepared, and they were not as panicked as last time. They took a copy of the things that Yunshang used, and put the rest in the bag, insisting that Gu Shinian bring them home tomorrow.

These included Yun Shuilian and Widow Wang's new clothes, as well as chocolate that the old couple had never heard of.

The old man took a sip of dry cigarettes and said, "Wa'er, treat my family's nannies well, and I'll accept the things you bought for them. But the rest of our Laoyun family can't accept your gifts, let's just say Going out will stab people in the spine."

The old lady patted Yun Chang's head with pity on her face, and also helped out, "Comrade Gu Xiao, how much money does Shang Nan's mother have? , it is estimated that the money from her mother's hand has been spent.

Going back to Shenshi this time, it's my family's clothes that touch your light, enjoy happiness with you, and see the world, that's enough. If you spend more money to buy things for my house, who are we?

Obedient, these things are worth a lot of money, take it back tomorrow and keep it for yourself to eat slowly. "

As soon as the old couple said this, Gu Shinian and Yun Chang were both dumbfounded.

This year, there is still food that can't be sent out! ?

Yun Chang rushed over, hugging the old lady's waist and swaying back and forth, "Daddy, I have money, and Gu Erge and I are making money! These things were bought with the money of Gu Erge and I, and our family can receive them."

The old lady was confused, "What kind of money do you two little boys make? Don't dare to speculate!"

Yun Chang blinked, and the nonsense came, "I just went back to the village to buy food, that uncle gave me and Second Brother Gu a lot of hard work and a lot of money."

God knows how much Yunshang hopes the old lady is greedy at this moment, don't ask anything, just give something and it will be good?

Why do you have to be so particular about it?

It's not a good boy to make up nonsense that makes her rack her brains.

However, even if Yun Chang made up nonsense, the old lady was still not fooled, "Shang Nan, you need tickets to buy these things, we don't have tickets."

"Milk, you can buy tickets if you have money. Besides, I bought the clothes according to the size of my aunt and my mother. No one can wear them when second brother Gu takes them back."

Yun Chang, the young head of the family, insisted on keeping things, and the old couple had no choice but to compromise.

It's getting late, the old lady helped Yun Chang to pack up the gifts and prepare to make a fire for cooking.

Yun Chang climbed up on the kang, leaned against the wall and asked the old lady, "Mother, where is my aunt? And the second uncle, why aren't you at home?"

"It's all in the Houcun. There's no work at home, and the milk didn't let them come over." After the old lady finished speaking, she glanced at Yunshang, thought about it, and then said, "Your second aunt has a body, the family Someone to look after."

Yun Chang was stunned.

In just a few days, Li Hongmei is pregnant?

It's too coincidental!

The front foot just had a conflict with her in-law's family, and the back foot broke out that she was pregnant. Now the old couple has to accommodate Li Hongmei to live.

Yun Chang murmured in her heart, but said sweetly, "Milk, Second Aunt is going to give birth to a younger brother to Shuanzi!"

The old lady is more superstitious. Seeing that Yunshang is a small group,

She opened her mouth and said that Li Hongmei was going to give birth to a boy, she was very happy to pull up the bellows, "Yes, Shuanzi has a younger brother!"

Yun Chang felt a little unhappy in her heart, not because she was unhappy about Li Hongmei's pregnancy, but because she felt that the people of the old Yun family were becoming more and more fulfilled.

Thinking of how good the old couple treated her, Yun Chang was really reluctant.

Gu Shinian and the old man were cleaning up the stove in the yard, Yun Chang felt sullen in his heart, told the old lady, ran out, and sat on the threshold with his face in his hands to watch the two busy.

When the two of them installed the stove and the old man was empty, Yun Chang asked, "Master, is there anything going on in the village recently?"

The old man took out the dry tobacco bag and took a few puffs, then said with a smile:

"It's a good thing, I went to the village chief's house to hear a letter yesterday, our village is going to build a road, build an asphalt road!

It has been repaired from the area, and it has been repaired on the ground in the south field of our former village to the river beach under the slope, and a bridge will also be built on the river. We can build a dozen miles of road in our village.

In the future, if there is a regional transportation company's car going to Anxi, it will not take a detour from the county seat, but go directly from our village, which can save 70 to 80 miles! "

Yunshang is also very happy. In this special period, if the government can start the work earlier, the villagers will have the opportunity to participate in it. Even if they go to work, they can at least have a wowotou to fill their stomachs every day.

And according to what the old man revealed, this asphalt road will run through the entire Xinglin Village, from the ground in front, to the residential area in the middle, and then to the large barren river beach at the back of the village.

In the future, whether it is going to the county or the town, all roads will be asphalt roads, and there will be no more potholes and dirt roads.

At least in terms of transportation, Xinglin Village is far behind the surrounding villages.

Yun Chang followed the old man silly for a long time, and then inquired about the news of the bad elements in the village, "Master, where are the bad elements? What kind of work has the village arranged?"

"It's New Year's Day, and the village doesn't work, so the bad guys will temporarily feed the cows and pick up cow dung. It's estimated that they won't go to work until the New Year's Day."

Yun Chang remembered the cold bloodthirsty eyes he saw at the brigade last time.

Thinking of the owner of such a pair of eyes, who has been feeding the cows and picking up dung recently, a strong sense of disobedience comes over him.

I don't know if Yun Chang thought about it too much, but I always feel that such a person has committed more than a simple crime of corruption, or a crime of speculation.

I wanted to ask the old man about the bad guys again, but the old lady was shouting for dinner in the room.

………………

Yun Chang didn't go home for a while, and the old lady took out all her skills and rolled out a pot of strong hand-rolled noodles.

Topped with fried egg sauce, served with small diced fried bacon, and fried cabbage, it tastes salty and fragrant, even people like Yunshang who don't like noodles are full A big bowl.

And after the stupid Widow Wang ate a bowl of noodles, she drank half a pot of noodle soup by herself, so that the old lady quickly grabbed the bowl and pushed the person into the side room.
