Chapter 314: After returning home from the wedding, Liang Ladi reappears
After three days of marriage, she did not return home.
Li Aiguo and his wife went out early in the morning with various gifts, preparing to go to Chen Kee Tailor Shop.
Because this is the first time I have visited my home after my marriage, I brought a lot of things with me.
Five pounds of mutton, seven pounds of sheep bones, two bottles of Maotai, an air force, a large bag of glutinous rice cakes, and two hanging pig intestines given by Wang Gangzhu.
Even though the bicycle was big enough, it took a lot of effort to install it on the car.
"Brother Patriot, did you bring too many things? We still have to live by ourselves." Chen Xueru was a little angry with the rough guy. This was too generous.
"Hey, isn't this the first time we've been here since we got married? Besides, we didn't have a homecoming party a while ago."
Li Aiguo rubbed Chen Xueru's little head.
In just a few days, Chen Fangxuan’s little cotton-padded jacket was pierced by him.
The two pushed the bicycle outside.
Just entered the front yard.
I saw Yan Bugui and Yan Jiekuang milling around the motor under the eaves.
"Third uncle, you are busy!" Li Aiguo greeted with a smile.
Chen Xueru also said hello: "Good morning, third uncle."
"Hey, are you going to my father-in-law's house?" Yan Bugui straightened up and saw the things on the car. , suddenly became greedy.
He also heard Yan Jiecheng talk about the locomotive depot giving Li Aiguo dozens of kilograms of mutton.
The mutton was only given to the train drivers, not even the leaders in the locomotive depot.
The train driver is so cool!
“Patriotic, when will my Jie Cheng become a train driver?”
Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and stretched out his greasy hand to pull Li Aiguo's arm.
But Li Aiguo glared back. He could only smile and rub his hands: "Xie Cheng is still young, and it's not a problem to always carry big bags."
"The locomotive depot has training courses every year. He can sign up first, and then start as a stoker. After passing the examination in a few years, he can become a train driver."
Li Aiguo stopped and said The promotion system for train drivers was explained in detail.
“It’s so difficult.” Yan Bugui was immediately discouraged, “You have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse to become a train driver.”
“A train driver has a heavy responsibility, and he must also be cautious in the locomotive depot. . ”
Li Aiguo actually does not support Yan Jiecheng as a train driver.
This guy has a too frivolous personality, with high ambitions and low hands.
Yanbu Guijian was a little disappointed that there was no hope for a short time.
He turned around and was about to continue working, but suddenly stopped again.
Pointing at the electric grinding wheel, he said: "Patriot, can you repair this thing?"
"Why is it broken?"
"I don't know what happened, it must be Yan Jiekuang Deng. "It's too hard."
"Dad, it was you who called me with great strength." Yan Jiekuang was about to cry.
Li Aiguo parked his bicycle and walked over to take a look, but he didn't see anything.
"You'd better take it to the car repair shop and ask Liu Haizhu to take a look."
"That guy is too shady. It costs at least fifty cents for a repair." Yan Bugui was stingy. .
Li Aiguo gave him an idea: "The mechanics in the machine repair shop can also repair this thing. Go and find out."
"This is a good idea!" Yan Bugui was excited. His eyes widened and he praised Li Aiguo for his good idea.
Most people really wouldn’t go to a suburban machine repair shop more than ten miles away for a few cents.
But Yan Bugui is a man who will lose money if he doesn't pick it up when he goes out.
"You're welcome."
Li Aiguo said casually and raised his wrist to look at the time: "Third uncle, it's getting late. My father-in-law should be waiting in a hurry soon."
"Go, go, say hello to me and your father-in-law." Yanbu Gui said happily.
Chen Fangxuan is a very particular person.
Although Yan Bugui is the matchmaker for the man, he still gave Yan Bugui half a catty of brown sugar as a matchmaking gift a while ago.
The young couple pushed their bicycles out of the courtyard.
Run along the spacious street to Chen Kee Tailor Shop.
At this time, Chen Kee Tailor Shop has reopened after renovation.
The Daqianmen Sub-district Office has not dispatched a public manager for the time being.
The private manager Chen Fangxuan took over temporarily, but sent a middle-aged female seamstress to serve as a full-time seamstress.
Chen Fangxuan was hanging around the door of the shop early in the morning.
Seeing the young couple riding over on a bicycle, he shouted into the shop at the top of his lungs: "Xiao Zhang, please look after the shop."
"Is your daughter and son-in-law here? Manager Chen, please go back quickly, I’m here to greet you,” Tailor Zhang put down his work and raised his head.
Chen Fangxuan is very satisfied with Tailor Zhang.
This seamstress was an old seamstress before liberation. She has good skills and is practical in her work.
Later her husband died of illness, leaving her alone.
Tailor Zhang is also an infatuated person and has never remarried.
Now I live alone, without worries, and almost regard the tailor shop as my own home.
Chen Xueru did not come to work at the tailor shop these days.
Thanks to Tailor Zhang, Chen Fangxuan was not in a hurry.
The shop was watched by Tailor Zhang, and Chen Fangxuan felt relieved. He turned around and entered the backyard, opening the door at the back.
Seeing so many things hanging on the bicycle, Chen Fangxuan took the things with a smile and said angrily: "Patriot, why did you buy so many things? Isn't this a waste of money!"
"Most of them were issued by the locomotive maintenance department, and they didn't cost any money." Li Aiguo handed him the bag of cakes and carried a few heavy items into the house.
"Your elder brother and sister-in-law have work today and will come over at noon."
Putting the things on the square table in the main room, Chen Fangxuan helped Li Aiguo pour tea and handed over the cigarette: "Aiguo , sit down quickly."
Chen Xueru rolled her eyes.
Can’t Chen Fangxuan see that she is such a big person?
Hurrying, he picked up the fan and fanned Li Aiguo.
Taking the cigarette, he took out the lighter and lit it. Li Aiguo helped Chen Fangxuan light the cigarette again: "Dad, how is the shop lately?"
"It went very well. After Fan Jinyou's incident, the street paid special attention to our tailor shop and specially selected one of the best tailors."
The two were chatting, and someone blocked the door. Pushed away.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law walked in one after another.
After not seeing each other for a few days, my sister-in-law’s belly has grown a lot, and her large overalls can no longer close.
"Patriot is back, please work hard on your mission." The eldest brother Chen Xingjia greeted Li Aiguo enthusiastically.
The sister-in-law went straight into the house. When she saw the meat on the table, her eyes almost lit up: "Little sister, where did you get so much mutton?"
"Duan Zhaizi "It's from this." The corners of Chen Xueru's mouth curled up slightly.
The silly girl was so proud that she didn't see her sister-in-law in the house, so she secretly cut a large piece of mutton, wrapped it in newspaper, and hid it in the corner of the cupboard.
"Hey, Qingfang, what are you doing!" Chen Xingjia just stood up to pour tea and looked at him.
The sister-in-law was startled, hurriedly closed the cupboard door, covered her heart and said: "Why are you making such a fuss? It's just a piece of meat. It's so much, and our dad can't finish it by himself. I'll take it with you." What’s wrong with going back to your parents’ home?”
"This is a patriotic gift. If you want to take it, you have to wait until they leave."
"My mother's family hasn't seen the smell of meat for a year. As a son-in-law, you don't know how to buy some meat to visit her." An old man? "
On weekdays, Zhao Qingfang often brings things back to help her mother-in-law and her unfulfilled brother.
Even if Chen Xingjia knew, he would not say anything.
It’s just that today is the first day the new uncle comes to visit.
Zhao Qingfang hid most of the mutton sent by others.
What will the new uncle think of the Chen family?
Will you look down on Chen Xueru because of this?
It’s okay for Chen Xingjia to feel a little wronged, and he doesn’t want to affect his sister.
At that time, he entered the room and started arguing with Zhao Qingfang.
The originally harmonious atmosphere in the small courtyard was broken by the quarrel.
Chen Fangxuan’s face was so dark that ink dripped from it.
"Aiguo, you made a joke today when you came to the door for the first time."
Li Aiguo smiled and said: "Dad, you are worrying too much. If this is not how we live, who else will?" There can be no contradiction.”
While chatting here, the war over there is also over.
Although the sister-in-law was so aggressive, she actually felt a little weak in her heart, so she finally put the piece of mutton back.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law came out of the house, and there was nothing strange on their faces.
If he hadn't heard the noise just now, Li Aiguo would have thought nothing happened.
Hitting someone is not a slap in the face, Li Aiguo also pretended not to know, and started chatting with his eldest brother.
My sister-in-law and Chen Xueru were muttering there for a while, then suddenly raised their heads and asked, "Aiguo, the treatment in your locomotive depot is so good, can you think of a way to bring your eldest brother in too."
Why are you focusing on the locomotive depot today?
Li Aiguo said with a smile: "The eldest brother works as a third-level machine carpenter in the lumber factory. He can earn more than 40 yuan a month. When he enters the locomotive depot, he can only start as a porter, and the salary is also less. A big piece."
Hearing this, the sister-in-law shrank her neck and remained silent.
Chen Fangxuan seemed to feel that today's sister-in-law was really outrageous.
He patted the table and said, "It's almost noon, sir. Xueru is back today and he is a guest. You hurry up and cook."
"I'll go right away."
Although my sister-in-law is a little reluctant.
But he didn’t dare to disobey the old man’s wishes and went into the kitchen to get busy.
Chen Xueru did not regard herself as a guest. After sitting in the main room for a while, she quietly slipped into the kitchen to help.
The laughter of my sister-in-law and sister-in-law soon sounded in the kitchen.
The voice gradually lowered, and finally turned into a private conversation between the two sisters.
“Ah, Xueru, your man is a donkey?”
The next step was Chen Xueru’s voice of grievance: “Sister-in-law, Brother Patriot said this is normal, you and my brother are the same way. ?"
The sister-in-law hesitated and said, "It should be the same. It's been a long time and I forgot about it."
"Really?" Chen Xueru doubted.
The shocked sister-in-law didn’t want to lose face, so she murmured in Chen Xueru’s ear: “Xueru, when you have dinner at noon, don’t leave in a hurry. My sister-in-law will teach you a few tricks. As long as you do this first, and then keep your man like this, it will be too much for you.”
“Ah, sister-in-law, how embarrassing.” Chen Xueru was so embarrassed that she couldn’t even lift her face.
The sister-in-law taught her as a person who had been there: "Everything between a man and a woman is a matter of course. There is nothing to be ashamed of."
The two of them did not realize that the kitchen door was not closed tightly, and those whispers followed the door. The seam slipped out.
Li Aiguo narrowed his eyes slightly.
Because of my sister-in-law's enthusiasm, I should get more mutton and let her take it back.
When Chen Fangxuan saw Chen Xueru limping back today, he knew what was going on.
The newlyweds are in a mood to get married.
It’s hard for him, an elder, to say anything about being diligent occasionally.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Fangxuan felt that it was a little too much. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Li Aiguo: "Aiguo. You are still young, so you should take care of your own body."
Li Aiguo, who has always been shameless, also made a big blush at this time.
The eldest brother interjected from the side: "Qingfang made me a piece of earthwork a while ago, saying it can repair my body. I will ask Xueru to take it back later."
This is the uncle again. Brother can handle it!
Li Aiguo is preparing to express his gratitude.
The kitchen door opened. My sister-in-law and Chen Xueru had already prepared the meal and walked out with the meal.
Today’s meal is richer than usual.
Scrambled eggs with green pepper, three delicacies, stir-fried mutton, shredded potatoes, and a plate of braised pork.
Because Li Aiguo and his eldest brother are both workers and do heavy physical work on weekdays, the food is also spicy, with a layer of red pepper floating on it.
Seeing the food put on the table, Chen Fangxuan asked his sister-in-law to separate out some of the various dishes and deliver them to Tailor Zhang in the shop in front.
The sister-in-law responded, took the lunch box and packed some food, opened the door of the compartment and walked in.
Chen Fangxuan saw Li Aiguo's confused face and explained with a smile: "Tailor Zhang lives alone. He doesn't go back at noon on weekdays, so he stays in the shop."
Chen Xueru smiled strangely: "We should invite Aunt Zhang over and let's have dinner together."
"She is a very particular person. I have already invited her once in the morning, but she was unwilling." Chen Fangxuan said.
Looking at Chen Fangxuan’s embarrassed look, and then looking at Chen Xueru’s winking look.
Li Aiguo's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in his heart, is the old tree going to bloom? !
Think about it. In fact, Chen Fangxuan is less than fifty years old now. Because he has never done any heavy physical work, he looks younger than the average person.
It would be good to find a suitable wife.
Perhaps because he was afraid that his daughter and son-in-law would notice, Chen Fangxuan stood up as if to cover up and took out a bottle of Laofen wine from the cabinet.
The eldest brother took it and poured it for the three of them. He picked up the wine glass with a smile and said, "Aiguo, from now on, we are a family. As the eldest brother, I would like to propose a toast to you first."
After getting along with each other for a while, Li Aiguo also saw that this uncle was a real person.
He did not show any airs. He picked up his wine glass and had a drink with Chen Fangxuan and his eldest brother: "Yes, we will be a family from now on!"
This is for the Chen family. , but also for himself.
After saying that, the three of them raised their heads and drank the wine in their glasses.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became lively, and the slight barriers in the past gradually disappeared.
evening.
The fire clouds in the sky are burning beautifully.
The new daughter-in-law, Chen Xueru, was riding a bicycle alongside Li Aiguo. The young couple were whispering, and their loving style was full of the sweet smell of dog food.
As soon as the young couple entered the door, they saw Nan Yi running out of the yard in a panic.
This guy looked like he had been chased by a dog. He didn’t even care to look at the road and almost hit Li Aiguo’s bicycle.
"Hey, Nanyi, have you robbed someone else's house?"
"It's Driver Li who's back."
Nanyi stopped and turned his head to look behind him in horror. , leaving behind a sentence and ran away: "I'm in a hurry, let's talk later!"
A moment later.
A pretty figure chased out of the yard.
"Nanyi, don't leave, Damao misses you."
Liang Ladi chased her out of the yard.
Seeing that Nan Yi had disappeared, he stamped his feet angrily.
Her hands were stained with engine oil. She was probably helping the Yanbu family repair their electric wheel.
Seeing Li Aiguo, Liang Ladi was a little embarrassed: "Driver Li, if you want to modify your bicycle, just come to me. We happen to have a used tractor engine in our workshop."
" .I don’t have that plan at the moment.”
Li Aiguo doesn’t want black smoke coming out of the back of his bicycle.
Chatting.
The three of them walked towards the yard.
Liang Ladi suddenly stopped: "Driver Li, speaking of which, I have to thank you."
"Why?"
"If you hadn't asked Yan Bugui to ask me to repair and grind the electric wheel, I wouldn't have known that this guy Nanyi had moved to this yard."
Liang Ladi remembered I'm so angry about this.
In order to avoid her pursuit, Nan Yi even transferred his family from the machinery factory to the steel rolling mill.
At this time, Yan Bugui was still waiting under the eaves.
Seeing Liang Ladi coming back, she stepped forward and complained: "Master Liang, you came to repair something, why did you run away?"
"Meet an acquaintance."
Liang Ladi turned her head and said goodbye to Li Aiguo. She picked up the wrench and squatted in front of the grinding wheel to get busy.
Yan Bugui stood aside and said with a smile: "Master Liang, when will this thing be repaired? I'm still waiting to use it."
"No matter what, it will take ten days and a half. A month or two or three months." Liang Ladi rolled her eyes and knocked here and there with the wrench.
"Are you reliable?" Yan Bugui's eyes widened.
Just kidding, he was still waiting to listen to the radio.
Clang.
Throwing the wrench on the ground, Liang Ladi raised her head: "Teacher Yan, if you think I am unreliable, you can find someone else!"
Hearing this, Yan Bugui suddenly panicked. He said: "Reliable, Master Liang, you are a third-level mechanic, absolutely reliable! Just repair it slowly, I can wait."
Although Liang Ladi looks unreliable, .
But there is no charge for repairing things!
The worst case scenario is to reconnect the power supply and make do with it for a while.
Chen Xueru ate the melon but didn't understand it. On the way home, she pulled Li Aiguo and asked, "Is Master Liang pursuing Nanyi?"
"This Liang Ladi is a real person. An incredible person." Li Aiguo told the story about Liang Ladi and Nan Yi.
The little girl was instantly immersed in the poignant love between the two, wiped her tears and said, "We should match them up."
"Ha, you underestimate Liang Ladi. Don't worry, it won't take more than a month. Nanyi must have been taken down by Liang Ladi.”
Just kidding.
That is to say, Liang Ladi hasn't figured it out yet.
After he figured it out, he took off his clothes and got into Nan Yi's bed when no one was around. Nan Yi had to marry Liang Ladi that night.
Go home.
The drawings of the dump truck are almost complete.
Li Aiguo is going to finish it tonight.
Then I can take it with me when I go to visit the teacher tomorrow.
Chen Xueru was busy like a hardworking little bee at this time.
First he swept the floor and wiped the table, then set up the sewing machine and mended the torn cheongsams.
Li Aiguo is also a veteran at tearing clothes.
It’s just that I used to tear off stockings, but now it’s like tearing off cheongsam. The techniques are the same.
The cheongsam looks torn to pieces, but in fact it is torn along the threads.
Chen Xueru is ingenious.
Coupled with the fact that a sewing machine is a great tool for sewing clothes, it only takes a moment to sew all the cheongsams.
She seemed to feel a little unsatisfied. She opened the door of the back room and shouted to the rough man: "Brother Patriot, do you have any torn clothes? Take them out and I will mend them for you."
".There should be."
Li Aiguo put down his pencil, stood up, walked to the cabinet, and dug out his old clothes.
As soon as I turned around, I saw Chen Xueru standing behind me.
"Your clothes are all in tatters." Chen Xueru frowned.
I wanted to teach you a few words, but I felt relieved when I thought that Li Aiguo never paid attention to these things, but was proud of them.
Old work clothes with torn pockets, a vest with fishnet holes, and denim pants with frayed knees
“Hey”
I picked up a pair with my little hand and didn’t know it was a sock. It was still something on the sleeves. Chen Xueru couldn't bear it anymore: "You can't wear this anymore. I'll knit a pair for you later."
"Listen to my wife."
Li Aiguo hehe With a smile, he patted her buttocks, sat back on the chair, picked up a pencil and got busy.
"You are becoming more and more immoral." Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at him and continued to take things out of the cabinet.
Looking at the hanging silk pants in her hand, Chen Xueru's face turned red with embarrassment, and she wanted to throw it away at that time.
She hesitated for a long time, and finally took him in her arms.
There is no way to mend this thing by hand, so I tried to use old cloth to mend the front rail and still use it.
She is already a man of her own. She has already had a divorce, so why should she be ashamed?
When I go home next time, I will be laughed at by my sister-in-law again!
Chen Xueru took a deep breath, hugged her pants generously, and sat in front of the sewing machine.
Evening.
Li Aiguo finally drew the complete set of drawings, stood up and stretched, yawned, opened the door and walked to the main room.
In front of the sewing machine, Chen Xueru’s two long legs pedaled rhythmically.
The setting sun shines through the glass window and falls on her bumpy body, giving her a divine brilliance.
It’s just that the silk trousers on the sewing machine are a bit disappointing.
Li Aiguo walked over slowly, gently held her waist from behind, and rubbed her fair face: "Daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work."
At this time, Chen Xueru, who already had a sore back, lay down in the rough man's arms and smiled sweetly: "I am your daughter-in-law, and this is what I should do. As long as you treat me well in the future, keep me in your heart."
"Come on, I will keep you in my heart now." Li Aiguo closed the window and pulled Chen Xueru into the back room without any explanation.
“Don’t, it’s not good to let people see it in broad daylight.”
Chen Xueru had already regarded herself as a little wife, but she was still a little agitated when she encountered the rough man’s behavior. Not adaptable.
She hesitated and wanted to push the rough man away, but suddenly there was an electric current running through her body, and she became soft and weak. She could only hold the rough man's neck with both hands and breathe rapidly.
I don’t know how long it took.
Over an hour anyway.
Chen Xueru's cheeks were covered with bright red, and she snuggled next to the rough man like a water snake. She said with spring eyes: "I know how to trouble people."
"The way you just recruited the immortals from heaven is also It’s amazing.”
天外飞仙
Chen Xueru frowned slightly, and then she understood after thinking about it.
In shame and anger, he raised his fist and punched the rough man's solid chest several times.
But she vaguely remembered that when her sister-in-law was teaching her, the trick didn't seem to be called this name, it was called Guanyin or something like that.
Li Aiguo gently grabbed her little hand.
Hehehe smiled: "Daughter-in-law, do you want to eat popsicles?"
