Zhou Sufen was so angry that she stamped her feet, but her son shouted that he was hungry, so she gave up for the time being and started making dinner quickly.
After getting busy with dinner, the family of three gathered around the square table to have dinner. The son was eating the rice one bite at a time, but his eyes were fixed on the 14-inch second-hand black and white TV.
This second-hand black and white TV and the bicycle are the most valuable items in the house.
Zhou Sufen said, "After dinner, I went to your master's house for a visit. I bought some apples, and I just gave some to your master and his wife to try."
"Why are you visiting so well? The last thing you wanted to do was visit my master's house." Hu Ziqiang said, holding his rice bowl.
Zhou Sufen rolled her eyes, "If you're embarrassed to say it, then I'll just say it. I'm not afraid. You are his direct disciple, Chen Technician is not even half of him. Look at Chen Technician, follow the pole to
You have climbed up the ladder and are now a factory leader. If you look at you again, Chen Jiji is not that many years older than you, right?"
Hu Ziqiang said, "Chen Jiji is a college student, and he is a cadre by nature."
"You are also a technical secondary school student after all. I don't expect you to be a factory leader. Let your master help you find a cadre status in the head office. Okay, you said you don't want to rely on connections, I admit it, but now I have the opportunity to take my son to the capital.
Look, Chen Jiji’s brother-in-law is involved in a relationship that he can’t fight with, so why can’t you?”
The more Zhou Sufen talked, the angrier she became. She simply put down her chopsticks and said, "After dinner, go to your master and tell him, if you don't want to go, I will!"
"What are you going to do? OK, OK, I'll go. Isn't it okay if I go?" Hu Ziqiang saw that his wife was angry and could only agree.
The son suddenly raised his head and said, "Dad, I'm going too."
The child knows who is good to him and has pocket money every time he sees Grandpa Yao. He wishes he could see Grandpa Yao every day.
"Go, your dad will take you there." Zhou Sufen said before Hu Ziqiang said yes.
Hu Ziqiang had no choice but to agree. It was useless not to agree. He was not the one who made the decision in the family.
The son cheered for joy, and the TV was no longer attractive. He quickly cleaned the rice in the bowl, put down his chopsticks, and said, "I've finished eating."
Facing his wife's cold gaze, Hu Ziqiang quickly finished the rice in the bowl.
Zhou Sufen got up and went to get a bag of apples she bought while grocery shopping. Her son looked at it with greed and said, "Mom, give me one."
"Eat whatever you want! This is for your Grandpa Yao." Zhou Sufen knocked off her son's extended paw.
The son shrank his head, feeling aggrieved.
Apples can be seen at home all year round and only during the Chinese New Year. This kind of fruit has only been seen in textbooks.
Zhou Sufen handed it to Hu Ziqiang and warned her seriously, "Go and talk to your master, don't be in a hurry to come back. Just say that your child wants to go to the capital to see Tiananmen Square and the Tiananmen Tower. Son, you and Grandpa Yao
You said you want to go to the capital, do you know?"
"Oh." The son said dissatisfiedly.
Hu Ziqiang was silent, holding an apple in one hand and holding his son in the other hand as he went out.
After turning the corner and making sure Zhou Sufen couldn't see it, Hu Ziqiang quickly took out an apple, wiped it hard with his hand and handed it to his son, "Son, you eat it."
The son held the apple and took a big bite. It was crunchy and juicy.
"Eat slowly, it will take a while to get to Grandpa Yao's house." Hu Ziqiang rubbed his son's head distressedly and said.
The son made a vague hum.
The street lights lengthened and shortened the silhouettes of the father and son as they slowly walked towards the new family building.
The son suddenly pointed to the new family building in front and said, "Dad, Grandpa Yao's family is very rich. Xiaozhi said that all the new buildings belong to Grandpa Yao's family."
Hu Ziqiang thought for a while and said, "The three buildings belong to Grandpa Yao's family. The factory has sold all three new family buildings to Yao Yuan. The one you have seen is Uncle Yao Yuan."
"Uncle Yao Yuan, a college student?" My son, who is in the third grade of elementary school, has already begun to learn to write essays and has his own set of thinking.
"Yes, so you study hard and get into college like Uncle Yao Yuan. Only when you get into college can you make a lot of money." Hu Ziqiang said.
The son nodded heavily, "Well, I want to go to Tsinghua University!"
"Have ambition!" Hu Ziqiang happily rubbed his son's head again.
The father and son walked slowly to Yao Zhenhua's house, forgetting the family talker's advice for a while, until they arrived at Yao Zhenhua's house, Zhang Guifang opened the door and saw Comrade Hu, happily hugged Comrade Hu and said good, and Hu Ziqiang saw sitting in the living room.
It was full of people and they were shocked.
There must be about ten people in a room.
Hu Ziqiang understood at once that they were probably all here because of the flight to the capital. His master's house had never been so lively.
I really agree with the saying that if you are poor in the busy city, no one will ask you, but if you are rich in the mountains, you will have distant relatives.
"Zi Qiang, come sit here." Yao Zhenhua stood up and came over to greet him. When he saw Xiao Hu, he touched his head lovingly and said, "Ask grandma to cut some fruit for you and watch TV while you eat."
This is not the first time for Xiao Hu to come here. What he likes most is the very big TV set at Grandpa Yao’s house, which is also in color.
Hu Ziqiang sat down solemnly and everyone continued to chat. He was dull by nature and didn't talk much. In this situation, he couldn't get into the conversation. Unless someone spoke to him, he wouldn't say a word.
Zhou Sufen's explanation had long been forgotten.
Yao Zhenhua was in a good mood. He was sitting in the middle of the sofa and looked like a leader. As soon as he spoke, everyone stopped and listened carefully. After expressing their opinions, some people immediately nodded in agreement.
Scenes like this were unimaginable before.
Nowadays, who still remembers that Yao Zhenhua was an unemployed worker who had to go to the black brick kiln to carry bricks in order to maintain his family's livelihood? Now everyone only knows that he is Yao Yuan's father, the father of the owner of thirteen sugar factories in Xihai.
In Xihai Sugar Factory, the factory leaders' words worked, but if Yao Zhenhua spoke, the factory leaders' words would not work.
As time went by, everyone's conversation gradually moved towards the capital, and they gradually expressed their yearning to fly to the capital. They mentioned that Chen Jiji's brother-in-law and his partner were going to the capital by Yao Yuan's plane.
This matter.
Those who can come to visit are those who have a good relationship with Yao Zhenhua and his wife. Even if it is because of friendship, Yao Zhenhua cannot refuse people thousands of miles away.
Besides, everyone has vanity, and Yao Zhenhua is enjoying this feeling in his heart.
However, he didn't have a hot head and agreed straight away. He talked about him in the name of haha, and emphasized from time to time that the plane belonged to the company and Yao Yuan couldn't make the decision.
Hu Ziqiang felt uncomfortable staying there. He wanted to say goodbye and leave several times, but Yao Zhenhua stopped him every time.
At around nine o'clock, this group of people left one after another, and Hu Ziqiang was about to leave, but Yao Zhenhua was left to talk. Yao Zhenhua valued his great apprentice very much. Just when something happened, this great apprentice took fifty yuan.
Yao Zhenhua will remember this love for the rest of his life.
At that time, wages had not been paid for two or three months, and fifty yuan was almost a month's ration for Hu Ziqiang's family.
While the master and apprentice were chatting, another group of seven or eight people came, all cadres, and even the chairman of the trade union came.
Hu Ziqiang became even more uncomfortable. No matter what Yao Zhenhua said, he refused to stay, so he took his son and left. When he was going out, Zhang Guifang caught up with a box of milk and forced it to Hu Ziqiang, emphasizing, "Self-improvement, let the children
Drink one bottle every morning and evening, it will be good for your child’s health.”
Xiao Hu suddenly said, "Grandma, our school also distributes this."
"You know, you know, drink what the school gives you in the morning, and what grandma gives you in the evening, you must keep drinking it, you know." Zhang Guifang liked this tough-headed boy very much and warned him.
Xiao Hu said obediently, "I understand, grandma."
Hu Ziqiang had no choice but to be stupid and unable to speak, so he could only smile and pick up the milk and lead his son home.
When they got home, Zhou Sufen immediately interrogated her and found out that Hu Ziqiang had not mentioned taking a plane to the capital at all, and she was immediately startled...
Xiao Hu was used to this kind of scene, so he took out a bottle of milk and drank it happily. After drinking it, he went to take a shower, brush his teeth and go to bed.
Zhou Sufen was tired from beating her. She pinched her waist and pointed at Hu Ziqiang and said, "Do you still look like a man? You can't do anything. Whoever joined the factory at the same time as you is no longer the team leader? Don't do it."
Jinhua has become the deputy director of the workshop! I asked you to go to the leader's house more and you didn't want to go! Your master is rich and he asked you to walk around with your master more, but you didn't want to go! Now I want you to talk about it and follow him to the capital.
Look, you can’t even do this by taking your children around! What’s the use of you!”
As he talked, he sat there and cried, "Why did I marry such a loser like you? Why is my life so miserable..."
Hu Ziqiang was confused and troubled, and said, "Why do you have to go to the capital for such a good job? That's not a place we ordinary people can go."
"Why can others go and I can't go? Why can Chen Ji's brother-in-law go and you, the eldest apprentice, can't go?! Why!" Zhou Sufen yelled, squeezing her neck.
Hu Ziqiang still softened and persuaded in a low voice, "Okay, don't cry. The child needs to sleep. Don't beat or kill him at every turn."
"I can't get through this day!" Zhou Sufen burst out.
Hu Ziqiang took out a pack of cigarettes given by Yao Zhenhua, opened it, lit one, and smoked distractedly.
When Zhou Sufen saw it, she immediately exploded. She ran over to grab the cigarette, pointed at Hu Ziqiang and cursed excitedly, "How dare you buy cigarettes to smoke! And you buy such expensive cigarettes! Hu Ziqiang! What do you want in this day?"
Don’t pass it! Ah! I’m so exhausted that I don’t dare to spend an extra penny. How dare you spend dozens of dollars to buy a pack of cigarettes!”
Hu Ziqiang was frightened and quickly explained, "My master gave it to me."
"You exchange this whole house for cigarettes and smoke them to death!" Zhou Sufen howled, but no one could hear her.
Hu Ziqiang stared at Zhou Sufen, his eyes slowly became firm, and he waved his hand and walked away.
"Go away! Go away! Don't come back after you leave! I'll see where you can go! You loser! Leave after just a few words! Go away, go away!" Zhou Sufen chased her and pointed.
Hu Ziqiang cursed from behind.
The neighbors were all woken up and went out to check. Some came over to persuade Zhou Sufen in a low voice, but Zhou Sufen started crying and started to scream again.
Xiao Hu, who was woken up, was leaning on the door frame, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, ran back, put on his clothes and shoes, and slipped out when no one was paying attention...
