Paternity

Chapter 130

"Wang Juan, can your briquettes be stacked better? It's all blocking the way. Really, how many times have I told you, but I always don't change it."

"Who's gone, and they don't care to pee everywhere!"

"Hey, Uncle Huang, come to your son's house, have you had breakfast?"

Early in the morning the courtyard was very crowded, there was the sound of greeting and greeting, and the sound of complaining to each other, there was some smoke billowing from the small courtyard, and the entire courtyard was misty and foggy, making people unable to open their eyes. .

It is a private house with two entrances. Initially, this area belonged to a big capitalist. Later, during the years of movement, these assets were confiscated and leased back to workers at the plant as employee benefits. The people in it had lived in it for over ten years, and they had considered this house as their personal property.

The Su Family was one of the households in the two courtyards. Their house was placed on the left wing of the lower courtyard. The two rooms totaled over forty square meters. Now a family of seven lives in these two rooms. Very crowded .

One of them was the living room and dining room, and there was a folding wire bed in the room, which was removed during the day and installed at night Su Daqing, the head of the Su family, and his wife Wang Juan slept here at night.

The other room was Su Jibai's room, the eldest son of the Su family. By the way, Su Jibai was his real name. A few years ago, he himself changed his name to Su Jihong, to signify the red star was sent to a party.

He and his wife, Liu Shuanghong, and their three children lived in this small room of over ten square meters. The restroom was divided into two sections, and the smaller section had two bunk beds. Both of his sons slept on one side, and there was a bamboo mat in the middle of the bed where they slept with his daughter, which was used for privacy.

Their family of five lived in a very small room, and it was very difficult to travel, especially now that the three children were adults, and the couple did not have their own rooms, she said, so awkward to do something.

But these years, housing is tight, almost every household is like this, the only hope of these working families is to wait for the units to allocate housing.

Both Su Daqing and Su Jihong were employees of the No. Shoe Factory, a family with dual careers prioritized, whereas Su Jihong Liu Shuanghong, his wife, was only a temporary worker at the textile factory, so that they are not within the scope of the assignment.

For this matter, Liu Shuanghong had blamed his mother-in-law and his brother-in-law Suzhu in his heart.To let his brother-in-law avoid going to the countryside, her mother-in-law passed her official job at the shoe factory to her sister-in-law If they get her mother-in-law's job, then her family will become full-time workers at the shoe factory, and his family should be included in the first batch of welfare housing.

You should know that the previous batch tube buildings were very well built. A colleague of Sujihong was lucky and got a large room with an area of 50 square meters. The man moved. As for her three children, her mother-in-law had already retired anyway, and they could still be raised in an old house, by then they would have two houses, one for themselves, one for themselves, and the kids will stay in the yard and occupy the other set.

Due to this incident, Liu Shuanghong's attitude towards Su Zhu became unkind, he hoped that Su Zhu could return the work of the Su family, and Su Zhu was always dear to his parents, he had always been dear to him, so that he would not be spoiled by Liu Shuanghong. Brother-in-law, every time these two people met, it felt like the tip of a needle was facing each other, the old couple was stuck in the middle, and they were also in a dilemma, so they could only help and reconcile .

"I heard from old Wang at our workshop that the results of the college entrance exam seemed to have come out half a month ago, and I don't know if the second child has participated or not, either, and how he did it in the exam. "

As the family was having breakfast around the small dining table, Su Daqing suddenly spoke.

Su Jihong and Liu Shuanghong who were at the side heard his words, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on their faces.

"I haven't received a reply, so I don't think I passed the exam."

Su Jihong thought, if he was accepted into university, his younger brother would have already sent a telegram to his family.

Su Daqing only mentioned it casually. In fact, he himself had no hope for his son. Before he went to the countryside, Su Aobai's grades were good, but after ten years in the countryside, he should have forgotten all that knowledge. Did the clerk in their shoe factory office not pass the exam How did the boy compare to the others?

Cleaning up after dinner, it was time to leave for work, Liu Shuanghong dragged Su Jihong back to the room, and asked in a low voice.

"Because nothing will happen?"

After hearing the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, the two elders of the Su family immediately thought of their second son who was still in the countryside. There was no threat to them, but after he returned to the city, would he still be given half of the old house?

So the couple came up with a crooked idea, and added an embellishment when writing the letter, the purpose of which was to hope that the letter was read by the wife of the second wife, so that the other party was wary, he said, and Su Aobai was prevented from giving him the opportunity to take the college entrance exam.

"What could happen?"

While doing this, Su Jihong was a little guilty, because of the three brothers, the second child had always been the one who was most persecuted, but who made the family home so large, and the allocation of his welfare, if Su Aobai was actually accepted into university and returned, where I could conjure up another bed for her.

Could it be that she was allowed to sleep in her daughter's bunk bed, then let her daughter come to the husband and wife's room to hug each other?

People don't kill people for themselves, however, the second child has been in the countryside for more than ten years, and he has to get used to life in the countryside, he said, so he had to stay there for the rest of his life.

The sound of approaching footsteps came from the wall, and the couple hurriedly stopped talking, but they could not let their parents know what they were thinking.Although Su Zhihong felt that even if their parents knew it in the end, it might not be because of the second child, blame him.

"Su Daqing, Wang Juan, is the reception office leader looking for you?"

When the couple changed into a canal and walked out of the room, they saw a street director appear at home with some strangers.

Today was a very unusual day for the Su family living in Liuliu Hutong in the capital.

"What! You said my second son was accepted into university, and he was the number one student in this year's college entrance exam!"

Su Daqing immediately jumped up, he turned his head to look at his wife, hoping to get confirmation from his eyes that this was real, not just a dream.

But at this moment, like him, Wang Juan was also immersed in a sudden shock and full of disbelief.

In fact, Su Aobai had good grades before he went to the countryside. Unlike the mediocre boss Su Jihong and the petite and stubborn youngest daughter Suzhu, this unappreciated second child had always been a good child in the mouths of others, well-seeking, With good grades, in other families, even though this child was the second child that would most likely be abandoned, he would be loved by the elders.

But Su Daqing and Wang Juan could not like this son, there was a reason for this matter.

Wang Juan has a real uncle. In their extended family, he was the uncle with the best looks. He was a child who had absorbed the aura of the entire family. At that time, China was not yet formed. His uncle is in a foreign company Going to work, talking about it is a great opportunity with a nice face.

But it's men like that that who humiliate the whole family, and eventually it turns out that he likes men If this isn't a perverted second chair, what is it?

In the end, Wang Juan's promising uncle could not resist the pressure of the outside world and chose to commit suicide by swallowing opium.This incident also left a deep shadow on Wang Juan.

Su Daqing and Wang Juan grew up together, and they were very familiar with Wang Juan's uncle. She also disgusts men who like men, so when they find out that their second son is getting more and more like the man, the couple thinks about him carefully, Ri can't hurt him.

When Yuan Shen went to the countryside, they even heaved a sigh of relief.Even if he were to truly fall in love with a man in the future, news of such a long distance would not reach the capital, the news of the city, and they saved face.

It was only after the son wrote in a letter saying that he was married that the couple felt a little remorseful, thinking that they should not be prejudiced against this child because of the complaints of the previous generation, he said, but they've been used to ignoring it for years.

Only then did the entourage of admissions officers in front of them come to say that their second son became the number one student in the college entrance examination, and they really began to regret it.

The abandonment of the first ten years, and the indifference of the next ten years, the old couple knew in their hearts that no matter how successful this son was, it was, he was destined not to be a good son who was filial and considerate in their minds. .

And there were also unknown daughter-in-laws, uncertain whether they would be able to become rich in the future.

The people from the Educated Youth Office came here to ask them to help persuade Su Aobai to apply to the Capital University.After all, they were still Su Aobai's parents, and their persuasion might have an effect.

Su Daqing and Wang Juan were furious when they heard that their son had sacrificed his premise for a woman.

They did not expect the value of the second child to be so good. He was the best student in the college entrance exam. He did not know how much he would become an official after graduation. If he succeeded, how could he not help his own nephew?

But if he hated them in his heart, he really did not want to help them. This way, it would be good for the other party to stay in Shanwan to study at the university. At least no one came to rob the old house in the courtyard.

"Officer Jiang, Officer Jiang! The call came from Shanwan, saying that they had done work for the number one undergraduate family, and they had changed their report to Capital University!"

Just as Su Daqing was about to speak, two more people ran in and told the reception office leaders good news.

“It's done! Haha, I know they will succeed. Comrade Su refused to apply for capital for fear of being separated from his wife and children. Now that the state has solved the household recording problem and arranged the work for his wife, he is definitely willing to return to his hometown."

The leader in the head was very pleased, and he recruited the number one scholar in the country, even though he had completed more than half of his duties, because the burden of the number one scholar was too heavy.

"Work, arrange work for family members!"

Liu Shuanghong's expression was almost distorted. Isn't the son-in-law of the second child a village woman, she even got a job in the capital through the help of the second child. He was a native of the capital, and after that for many years, he was still a temporary worker.

“Of course, we must ensure that Comrade Su can devote himself to his future studies, and arrange a job for his wife to ensure the logistics of their small family.”

According to the leader, what they spend should not be temporary workers, because there are jobs that are more stable than ordinary workers.

Liu Shuanghong's envious eyes would bleed, and he even said something irrational regardless of the occasion.

"Leader, I am Su Aobai's brother-in-law. I have worked diligently in textile mills all this time, and I am still a temporary worker. See, can you also make me a regular worker?"

He was also in a daze, looking forward to turning into a madman.

The few reception office leaders present looked at each other in dismay, and the road director who brought them also showed shame. How can anyone ever be dissatisfied? Besides, Su Aobai had already gone to the countryside when Liu Shuanghong married you What feeling.

Even if Su Aobai really had this face, wouldn't it be better for her to take care of Hui Ze's own child, and give you this unemotional sister-in-law?

Su Daqing and Wang Juan initially wanted to scold Liu Shuanghong, but then they thought, what if the leader really agreed, after all, his son was the number one person in the college entrance examination.

So the old couple pretended to be deaf and mute, however, when they were rejected, only Liu Shuanghong would be embarrassed.

The atmosphere gradually stagnated, and the expressions of some leaders became increasingly ugly.

"It's almost time, we have to get ready for contact work."

The leader in front stood up and walked out of the courtyard, and another group of people followed quickly, ignoring Liu Shuanghong's words altogether, and their intention to refuse was very clear.

This family could not do it, it was a pity that a good friend like Comrade Su who valued friendship and friendship had a family like a bunch of leeches.

No way, Comrade Su will conduct scientific research in the future. What such peers fear the most is that they will be exposed to this shameless group of family members who put their interests first. The innocent heart of Comrade Su cannot be tainted by these people .

When they returned, they had to think of a way to make such a beautiful old comrade as little as possible in contact with this group of people.

So it didn't take long before Su Jihong, who worked at No Shoe Factory. 2 The capital, received a transfer order, asked him to work as director of a small workshop at Shoe Factory No. Liu Shuanghong, also transferred there and arranged for her, I worked in the cafeteria of the shoe factory, this time as a full-time worker.

It seems that one was promoted, and the other had a position as a permanent worker, but whether Jin City could be compared to the capital, and could the shoe factory in Jin City compare to No Shoe Factory.

The couple was very reluctant in their hearts, but today, they had to obey all orders, unless you don't want this job anymore, Su Jihong and Liu Shuanghong can only follow the organization's arrangements, and the entire family packed up before Su Aobai returned to the capital, going to Tsu City.

There, Liu Shuanghong would live in the 50-square-meter canister house he dreamed of, but he had no idea that he would not be happy at the moment.

*****

On the other hand, Jiang Nianbai also said his final goodbye to his little friend.

His father would go to the capital to study at university, and his mother was said to be going to the General Administration of Sports to carry a large bag Both his parents had left, and his mother was said to have gone to the General Administration of Sports, and there was no way Jiang Nianbai would live in his hometown alone. .

Among the three family members, he was probably the one who was most reluctant to part with this piece of land.

The day before departure, Jiang Nianbai saw the last visitor in the house, and he was still staring out of the courtyard, because the person he wanted to meet the most had yet to come.

As the night grew darker, as Jiang Nianbai was about to return to the room in despair, he saw a handful of yellow hair protruding from the low fence.

"Ernier!"

He shouted, Ernier can't hide now.

Standing on his tiptoes, he stuck out half his face from the low wall.

"Come, I've left the best for you!"

Jiang Nianbai gestured to Ernier, as he wanted to pack lightly, he distributed some of his items to his good friend, but what he left for Ernier was not the toy.

"This is a textbook that my father recorded from elementary school to high school, and this Xinhua dictionary. After you and my dad studied Pinyin, if you find a word you can't read, you can look it up in the dictionary. .”

Ernier is a girl with ideals and ambitions. Before Su Aobai taught the children in the village, Ernier always came to listen to the lecture after finishing his work. To listen more, he would even reduce his sleep time. It was to do some homework long before.

"You must study hard. My father said that knowledge is power. When you have the power, you can defeat everyone who oppresses you!"

Said, Jiang Nianbai patted the thick stack of books beside him, but he only handed him one key.

"These books were sold or burned when your parents saw them. I'll give you the keys to my house. From now on, you can sneak in here while the others don't notice."

This was the ancestral home of the Jiang family, and Jiang Yingzi did not plan to sell it. He had to return to visit the family tomb after Qingming. This will also make it easier for Ernier to have a quiet place to study .

In the winter, each finger of Ernier swollen into a radish. Now that the weather was getting warmer, those chilblains had faded away, leaving only ten toes as thin as chicken feet. But due to overwork, such thin fingers There are also raised joints in the head, which are bone lesions caused by overwork.

Ernier took the key from Jiang Nianbai, as he lowered his head, Jiang Nianbai could only see his hair withered and yellow as well as the two round curls on his head.

He squeezed the key in his hand tightly, his eyes red and hot.

At this moment, Er Ni'er swore in his heart that he would let Xiao Bai get his soft rice in the future!
