"Kun'er, please clean up your house quickly. Your father and brother will go home to celebrate the New Year this year."
"Mom, you've said this so many times that my ears almost get calluses."
"You kid, move faster, your dad will beat you again when he sees the mess at home."
"My dad won't be home until tomorrow, why are you in a hurry?"
“There are so many things to do during the New Year, so don’t prepare in advance!”
"You can borrow a bicycle tomorrow, and I'll go with you to the station to pick up your dad."
"You don't know how to ride a bicycle, so why do you need a bicycle?"
"I can't ride, so I can't let Zheng Juan take me."
Ever since she received a letter from Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi saying that they would go home to celebrate the New Year this year, Li Suhua was a little too excited.
One moment it was about cleaning up, the other moment it was about preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, in short Wang Gang was really tormented.
Wang Gang really wanted to tell Li Suhua that both Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi would be delayed this year and would not be able to go home for the New Year.
But seeing the happy look on the old lady's face, Wang Gang didn't want to hit her.
The factory had been on holiday the year before, and Wang Gang had nothing to do, so he helped the old lady with household matters and sent some New Year's goods to the Zheng family.
In the past two years, because there were only two people in the family, it was too deserted every New Year's Eve, so Li Suhua asked Wang Gang to invite Zheng Juan's family over for a happy New Year's Eve dinner.
This year, because Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi went home, it was difficult to celebrate the New Year together.
Wang Gang and Zheng Juan have been dating for three years, and they are inseparable. The two families have long acquiesced in their affairs, and are waiting to testify as soon as they are old enough.
In the past three years, Wang Gang has been helping the Zheng family. He would go to Taiping Hutong when he had something to do. He would also give the Zheng family a share of the lunch boxes he brought from the factory.
Zheng's mother became more and more satisfied with Wang Gang. On several occasions, she even took Zheng Guangming away to give Wang Gang and Zheng Juan a chance to be alone.
However, the two of them never went too far. It was not because Zheng Juan refused, but because Wang Gang wanted to save the most important thing on the wedding night.
The more he gets along with Zheng Juan, the more Wang Gang pities this woman and even wants to give her the best things in the world.
Zheng Juan's feelings for Wang Gang gradually turned from gratitude to love. Now she doesn't want to leave Wang Gang for a moment.
Originally, Wang Gang was old enough this year to produce evidence and write letters to ask for Zhou Zhigang's opinion. However, Li Suhua always felt that it was not good for her eldest brother Zhou Bingyi to get married first and her younger brother to get married first.
Although Wang Gang was impatient, he also knew that good things were about to happen for Zhou Bingyi and his partner, Hao Dongmei, so he was not in a hurry.
After finishing his chores at home in the morning, Wang Gang carried two pieces of bacon and prepared to deliver them to Zheng Juan's family.
As soon as people came out of the alley where the calligraphy sheets were, they saw Qiao Chunyan.
Wang Gang originally wanted to hide, but Qiao Chunyan also saw her.
"Brother, brother." Qiao Chunyan ran over enthusiastically, leaving Wang Gang with nowhere to escape.
"Chunyan!" Wang Gang smiled awkwardly and stopped his bicycle.
"Brother, why did you see me hiding?" Qiao Chunyan was still so careless, holding the handle of the bicycle to prevent Wang Gang from leaving.
"I'm not hiding from you! I didn't see you just now." Wang Gang forced a smile.
"Ah!" Qiao Chunyan said generously: "You are still embarrassed about what happened back then! I didn't even worry about it. Is your sister-in-law okay?"
"Zheng Juan is pretty good. She helps her mother paste paper boxes recently and earns a lot every month, so her life is not a problem."
Wang Gang also admires Qiao Chunyan's free spirit and loyalty. At least, at this time, she has not deteriorated.
"Let's make an appointment to have dinner together when you have time! I've also found a date." Qiao Chunyan said carelessly.
Wang Gang's eyes lit up and he said, "Congratulations! Please let me know when you are going to do something, and I will give you a big red envelope."
Qiao Chunyan said proudly: "Of course, you are my mother's family."
Wang Gang relaxed and asked Qiao Chunyan: "Which young man can catch your eye?"
"His name is Cao Debao. He used to live in Guangzipian, but later moved away. You should know him."
Wang Gang didn't expect that Qiao Chunyan would still be with Cao Debao without being introduced by him. It seemed that there was God's will.
"It's Cao Debao! I know him. I heard that he works in a soy sauce factory. It's a good company." Wang Gang said.
"It's okay. Even during the Chinese New Year, his factory distributed a lot of soy sauce, and he gave me a lot of it. He gave two bottles to his godmother at a time." Qiao Chunyan said proudly.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Okay, you can go later! My mother is at home, and I have to go to Taiping Hutong."
Qiao Chunyan said: "I'm going to get together with some friends on the third day of junior high school. Cao Debao will also come, so you can come too. Bring my sister-in-law."
Wang Gang nodded and said, "Okay, I will go when I have time."
The two stopped chatting, and Wang Gang rode to Taiping Hutong, and unexpectedly ran into Sun Qunchao and Xiao Guoqing on the road.
They also talked about the third grade party. Wang Gang couldn't refuse, so he could only agree.
In the past three years, he, Sun Qianchao and Xiao Guoqing sometimes worked together, and their relationship has not ended.
Wang Gang was able to grab two more lunch boxes every time in the kitchen, and he would also prepare meat dishes for his brothers, so the relationship between the three families has always been very good.
However, as Wang Gang became more and more comfortable in the canteen, the gap between the three gradually developed, and it was inevitable that there would be some differences.
Tu Zhiqiang also works in the lumber factory, and like Sun Qianchao, they are both in the discharging workshop, which is the most difficult part.
Wang Gang would bump into him sometimes, nodding and saying hello every time, nothing more.
As for Tu Zhiqiang, he tried several times to get close to Wang Gang and introduced a few friends to him, but Wang Gang rejected him every time.
Rumors about Tu Zhiqiang have spread in the factory, saying that he always hangs out with some unemployed young people and creates some kind of "Nine Tigers and Thirteen Eagles".
Tigers refer to men, eagles refer to women, nine tigers refer to nine men, and thirteen eagles naturally refer to thirteen women.
Most of these twenty-two people are small gangsters who fled to the countryside and stayed in the city. They don't have regular jobs. They cause trouble all day long and sometimes run small businesses in the black market to make ends meet.
Tu Zhiqiang wanted to recruit Wang Gang to join the gang, probably because of his fighting prowess.
Wang Gang refused without thinking, not because Tu Zhiqiang liked men.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But he heard that Nine Tigers and Thirteen Eagles often sleep together and live in the same room, and the relationship is very chaotic.
Wang Gang really couldn't bear it, so he could only stay away from him.
When they arrived at Zheng Juan's house, as soon as Wang parked his bicycle, Zheng Guangming rushed out.
"Brother-in-law, you're here!" Zheng Guangming walked out of the house happily, leaning on a blind stick, and threw himself into Wang Gang's arms.
Wang Gang smiled, picked up Zheng Guangming, and stuffed two White Rabbit toffee into his hand.
Although Zheng Guangming is blind, his other senses are extremely sharp and he is always the first to hear Wang Gang's arrival.
"Guangming, how are you doing in school?" Wang Gang carried Zheng Guangming into the house, where Zheng's mother and Zheng Juan were gluing paper boxes.
"The teacher said that my grades are very good and my braille has improved again." Zheng Guangming opened the candy wrapper and stuffed the toffee into Zheng Juan's mouth.
Under the arrangement of the street, Zheng Guangming enrolled in a special school and received basic education.
He himself strives for success and cherishes this opportunity very much. Wang Gang also heard him talk about a deaf-mute named Chang Chengcheng in school who will graduate in the next year and will be assigned to a soy sauce factory.
Zheng Guangming is now focused on thinking that when he graduates, he can be assigned to work in a factory to reduce Zheng's mother's burden.
"Auntie, I brought you two pieces of bacon." Wang Gang put Zheng Guangming down and took out the prepared bacon.
After Zheng Juan saw the meat, she blamed Wang Gang and said, "Why did you give us meat again? We haven't finished the meat we gave you last time. There are many people in your family celebrating the New Year this year, so you should take it back!"
Wang Gang put the meat on the kang table and said, "Eat it with confidence, my family keeps it?"
Zheng's mother smiled and felt very happy, not because she had meat to eat.
In the past three years, Zheng's mother and Zheng Juan have been able to earn more than 20 yuan a month by pasting paper boxes, which is much better than before selling candied haws.
Wang Gang is able to bring some lunch boxes and even raw pork every now and then.
Compared with the past, the life of the Zheng family has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Zheng's mother saw this in her eyes and kept Wang Gang's kindness in her heart. Her only thought was that Zheng Juan could get married as soon as possible.
"Kun'er, when your father comes back this year, it's time for you and Juan'er to get married!" Zheng's mother said to Wang Gang while gluing the paper box.
"I made an agreement with my mother to wait for my father to come home and arrange a meeting with Juan'er. After the festival, we will discuss the evidence without waiting for my eldest brother and sister-in-law." Wang Gang sat on the kang and glued paper boxes with Zheng Juan.
.
"I have prepared all the wedding stuff a long time ago, and I can pick Juaner up on a good day."
Zheng Juan lowered her head shyly, feeling extremely satisfied with Wang Gang's arrangement.
"Okay, okay, as long as I see you two getting married, I can rest in peace even if I die now." Mother Zheng wiped her tears happily.
"Mom, you are celebrating the New Year, why are you saying this? You will definitely live a long life." Zheng Juan took Zheng's mother's hand and said.
"Yes, yes, Zheng Juan and I will have children in the future, and we need your help in raising them."
Zheng's mother's health has never been very good, which was a problem caused when she was young. Wang Gang took her to the hospital, but the doctor had no choice but to go home and take good care of her.
She has lived a comfortable life in the past three years. Mother Zheng's complexion has improved a lot, and she probably won't leave as early as in the TV series.
"By the way, I want to discuss something with you." Wang Gang turned to Zheng Juan and said:
"I plan to buy the house next to my house. After we get married, I will let my aunt and Guangming live there. It will be more convenient for us to live close to each other in the future."
"Where did you get the money to buy a house?" Zheng Juan asked confused.
