Chapter 161 Are you serious? Have you bought a house in Yanjing? (Please order all)
The things are in a mess anyway, there are so many zeros and zeros, and the Feng family basically bought everything they could think of!
Cheng Xuemin also thought of something!
Dang even took out a pack of 'Yanjing' brand cigarettes that Feng Jiayou had prepared for her father-in-law from his bag.
This is a cigarette with a handle. In this era, even in Yanjing, her father Feng was not willing to smoke it.
But this time, in order to honor her father-in-law and to give her husband face when he returned home for the New Year, the Feng family prepared six items for him.
It’s like no money!
Immediately, Cheng Xuemin opened two packages and began to smoke cigarettes for his grandfather, uncle, and others.
"Ah! Is this a cigarette? Did you bring it back from Yanjing, Xuemin?"
Grandpa took the cigarette handed over by his grandson, his eyes brightened, and he took it with trembling hands. The old uncle next to him also exclaimed.
"Grandpa, try this! My son bought it for me in Yanjing!"
Seeing that his grandfather was very excited, Cheng Xuemin quickly offered it to him with both hands, but he did not dare to hold it in front of his grandfather and pass the cigarette to the old man with one hand.
"Okay, okay! Xuemin, you are ready for success!"
Grandpa nodded repeatedly, his hands trembling with excitement, but he didn't expect that he could still smoke such cigarettes after most of them were buried in the ground.
"Xuemin, are these the cigarettes specially provided in Tiananmen Square?"
Uncle Cheng Yunjin then took the cigarette that Cheng Xuemin offered with both hands, wiped the cigarette and treasured it, and also made a bold guess.
Because of this kind of cigarette, they only saw leaders smoking it in the county government compound.
I heard they are all exclusively for sale!
There are no certain levels, don’t even think about it.
But who knows!
Cheng Xuemin, a young boy from Chengjiawan, even brought back these special cigarettes after a trip to Yanjing. It was amazing!
After listening to the uncle’s words, not to mention my grandpa, uncles and others, even Cheng’s father Cheng Youben, who was scolding the prodigal in his heart, was also speechless!
Could it be that Xindao is really a supply of cigarettes for leaders?
Even if it is not a cigarette specially provided for leaders, it is a rare thing, and no one in their commune has ever smoked it.
Even the secretary of the commune may not have smoked a few cigarettes, maybe he went to the county to do it shamelessly.
But it’s better for him, a prodigal son!
I just took out two whole packs and distributed them to everyone I saw. One shot was a whole stick!
You can't save a little bit, just cut off half of the root and taste it freshly! ?
"Dad! You want one too!"
When Cheng Xuemin sent it to his father, he got a really big look in his eyes, and even went straight to his hand and passed the whole package. His eyes were definitely scolding, he knew he was a loser!
This made Cheng Xuemin smile bitterly!
It won’t happen!
Your daughter-in-law brought you six cartons of cigarettes, so you can give them to your relatives and family without feeling distressed!
"Xuemin is making a difference! He even brought back Yanjing's special cigarettes. Youben, your scholar is making a difference!"
"Study people, learn people, give me one. Give me one, so that you guys can have a taste of what's available in the city!"
The villagers and members of the Chengjiawan brigade who were surrounding them looked at Cheng Xuemin passing out cigarettes, their eyes filled with greed and horror!
The thin-skinned ones kept praising Cheng Xuemin, hoping that he could even send half a hair out;
The thick-skinned ones just started joking, saying they want it themselves!
"Uncle! Uncle! Uncle! All of them, all of them!"
"I just brought it back here to give my uncles and grandfathers a fresh picture!"
Feng Jiayou had told him not to hide the cigarettes he brought back and be reluctant to take them out to smoke.
When you get home, leave as soon as you meet everyone. Don't be reluctant to leave. How much does a pack of cigarettes cost?
Anyway, it is the woman herself who cannot come back, otherwise she would have to make her man more beautiful.
Immediately!
Cheng Xuemin followed her instructions and opened another pack, giving them to the enthusiastic tribesmen to smoke one by one.
It instantly caused a commotion and was about to be looted!
"Yang Ximei, why do you, a womanizer, want someone else's cigarettes? You don't smoke!"
"Why, why don't I try to be fresh?"
"Haha, Ni She is so excited about this novelty. He must be using these and cigarettes to trick other people into helping you clear up wasteland!"
It instantly caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Cheng Xuemin sent out two packs of cigarettes like this again. Now not only Cheng's father felt distressed and called him a prodigal, but even Cheng's mother wanted to rush over and take the cigarettes back from Cheng Xuemin's hand.
It's a pity that her side is even more chaotic!
Mother Cheng didn’t expect that such a big boy like her would bring them so many good things from Yanjing!
New clothes, new pants, new shoes, candy, Yanjing roast duck, malted milk, clam shell oil, toothpaste powder, shampoo powder...
It was so dazzling that Cheng’s mother and his aunts and aunts were overwhelmed and speechless.
Cheng Xuemin is also working hard!
That woman Feng Jiayou really wants to move the entire Yanjing Shopping Mall back home for her parents-in-law!
I can even think of clam shell oil!
Because she said that every cold winter, the weather here in northern Shaanxi is dry, and everyone's hands are most likely to crack. This Harry's oil is the best thing to prevent hand cracks, and she must bring it to her parents-in-law no matter what.
As a result, their commune supply and marketing cooperative seems to have no sales.
Anyway, there is only one main theme: the woman wants her man to return home in fine clothes and in glory.
It’s been lively for a long time!
It’s the Chinese New Year again, and it’s not easy for Cheng’s father and Cheng’s mother to drive people away.
It was only after a scolding from Cheng Yunjin, the brigade secretary, that they all left and stopped making trouble at Cheng Xuemin's house.
But they would inevitably gather at the millstone outside and continue to eat Qin Guilan's melons, and most of them would be envious, jealous and greedy.
"Xuemin, I heard from my parents that the magazines you sent back all contained manuscripts published by you?"
"Wrangler was written by you, Xuemin?"
"Did you also write the account of Director Qiao's appointment?"
Among the whole family present, only Cheng Xuemin and his brother-in-law Wang Quanwen are considered half intellectuals. Although they did not graduate from high school, they are now working as a private primary school teacher in the village primary school in their brigade.
Therefore, every time the Feng family sent back a magazine, Cheng’s mother and the others would ask her, the intellectual son-in-law, to take a good look at it after they showed off to the team!
A brother-in-law must know how many kilograms or taels of ink his brother-in-law has in his belly. He said that "The Wrangler" and "The Taking of Factory Director Qiao" that were popular all over the country during this period were written by his brother-in-law. His first reaction must be a joke, right?
But his mother-in-law showed her all the letters she sent home!
That was what was written in the letter so plainly. It really made his brother-in-law dumbfounded!
Whether it was the commune or the county, the "Wrangler" and "The Taking of Factory Director Qiao" that were widely circulated in teachers' circles were written by his brother-in-law?
As a brother-in-law, I really can’t believe it, so I want to question it!
But there is a fierce wife, brother-in-law, sister, and a very proud mother-in-law and father-in-law next to her. The son-in-law dares to question and throw cold water on her?
I can only keep my doubts in my heart and ask my brother-in-law in person when he comes back.
Now that Wang Quanwen asked this question, the topic came up again!
yes!
What the hell are those who are shouting all over the village? This is another article published by her eldest son. Now that the real owner is back, can it finally be confirmed?
"Xuemin, you are amazing! It's true that the Wenqu star from the sky has descended to our Chengjiawan!"
"But Xuemin, why don't you use your real name when writing an article!? That way I can let the old man go to the commune and the county to show off!"
"I will take the published article you wrote and tell our commune secretary that this was written by our Chengjiawan Wenquxing! Go to the county to show it to the secretary that this was written by our Chengjiawan Wenquxing!"
"But if you don't use your real name Cheng Xuemin, no one will believe you even if we tell you!"
When mentioning the article, brigade secretary Cheng Yunjin also slapped his thigh repeatedly and lamented why Cheng Xuemin didn't use his real name!
What kind of thing is Lao Xu or Lao Qiao? If you tell me, who will believe that it is their Wenquxing from Chengjiawan?
No one believes it at all!
"Uncle, this is a pen name! When submitting articles to newspapers and magazines, you usually use a pen name, and rarely use your real name!"
Cheng Xuemin smiled awkwardly and didn't let the uncle and the others go to the commune to show off. Is this all Cheng Xuemin's fault?
"Yes, yes, pen name! I know this, sir!"
"Just like those great writers, like Lu Xun and Mao Dunba Jin. These are all pen names, right? The full text?"
The old uncle took over the topic and talked about it again and again. In the end, he did not forget to ask Wang Quanwen, the most educated man present, to prove it.
"Yes, yes, yes, uncle, these are all great writers, and they all use pen names! And Mr. Mao Dun is still the top leader of the Writers' Association!" Brother-in-law Wang Quanwen quickly agreed.
"Yes, yes, you are right about the whole article. He is the most arrogant one! We have seen his article in the newspaper before!"
The old uncle nodded again and said.
"Then you should also write your real name as a scholar next to your pen name!"
Grandpa was also shameless, so he followed the uncle's words and nodded at Cheng Xuemin.
"Yes, yes, your grandpa is right! Xuemin, why don't you write your real name?! If you don't write your name, it would be a good idea to mention our Chengjiawan in the article!" He said with only a pen name and no real name. , the most troubled person present must be Father Cheng, Cheng Xuemin and his father!
As the uncle said just now, if this article is published, no one will believe it, right?
Father Cheng is also proud!
I heard that his mother-in-law and his mother-in-law came to the commune to publicize how awesome his grown-up son was.
It's a pity that his big boy's name is not on it. No matter how arrogant he brags, no one will believe him!
Father Cheng was so angry that he stamped his feet beside him!
"This...next time, next time, grandpa and uncle, next time I...I will write a special article about our Chengjiawan and our northern Shaanxi!"
Cheng Xuemin was bitter and bitter again, and his father had repeatedly emphasized the matter of writing Cheng Xuemin's real name in his letter before.
However, at that time, his mother-in-law was launching a united front. How could he really listen to me and publish a manuscript under his real name so that he could show off in the true sense to the brigade and the commune?
"What? Xuemin, do you want to write an article for our Chengjiawan?"
Before the brigade secretary and his uncle Cheng Yunjin were shocked, Cheng Xuemin's uncle Cheng Youli exclaimed.
"Uncle, I have this idea, but it should be in the second half of the year!"
Cheng Xuemin also nodded. He had long had the idea of writing a tribute to his father's "Ordinary World".
However, the first half of the year may be a bit tight, so we have to wait for the second half of the year!
Then change the location inside to their Chengjiawan, their commune, and their county, easy!
We can definitely let their Chengjiawan, their commune, and their county become famous.
"That's good, that's good! Xuemin, you have a good idea. By then our Chengjiawan will become famous!"
The uncle nodded and praised him repeatedly when he heard this. He really thought this was very good.
His uncle also nodded repeatedly and laughed heartily.
In fact, it is very simple to prove that those manuscripts were written by Cheng Xuemin!
Because Feng Jiayou had thought of it a long time ago and asked Cheng Xuemin to bring a copy of the People's Daily on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
The above reports are all about Cheng Xuemin, the pioneer of reform, and there are not only pen names but also Cheng Xuemin's personal information, Cheng Jiawan has written it in great detail.
So after calculating the time, Cheng Xuemin left one day late, and the People’s Daily on the second day of junior high school hadn’t arrived yet?
Otherwise, the relatives and clan members present should not have this reaction.
But it’s normal!
Newspapers in this era were not transported by air. They relied on trains to move from place to place, and then had postmen deliver them from commune to commune. They would not reach their commune for weeks at a time.
Therefore, in this era, there is a certain lag in reading newspapers and paying attention to national events.
If you want to know the latest major news events, now that they are cadres in their commune, you can even listen to the radio or TV.
With everyone in the yard praising him for being such a big boy, Cheng's father felt so beautiful, even Cheng's mother was the same. She was so good at cooking dinner at night that she didn't want to put in two extra drops of oil!
“Jin, is this Maotai?”
It's almost time to have a banquet in the evening. There are three tables of people, large and small, in the courtyard. It really shouldn't be too lively.
It was also thanks to Cheng's father and Cheng's mother that they had prepared yesterday and bought enough meals. In addition, they knew that Cheng Xuemin would be back today, so the dinner was left in the evening instead of noon.
At the dinner table, Cheng Xuemin took out another bottle of Maotai. The uncle, who had seen the world, was so shocked that he exclaimed!
But no matter how I have seen the world, I have never drunk such a arrogant drink in my life!
Maotai!
This is the legendary Maotai, a shot that can only be seen in the movies shown in the commune.
real thing...
Not to mention the old uncle who was a cadre in the commune, let alone the other old farmers sitting there!
"What? Maotai?! Xuemin, what are you doing with this?"
Cheng's father, who had no idea beforehand, was about to collapse on the spot. He was such a prodigal son, wasn't he such a prodigal?
Why don't you use such a good special wine for you and your wife to hold a wedding banquet?
It would be a waste to take it out at this time!
Cheng's father was so angry that he wanted to snatch the wine away on the spot. If he didn't get out of the way, he quickly asked his mother-in-law, Cheng Mu, to put it away quickly!
"Dad! Dad! Dad! It's okay, it's okay! This is my daughter's father, who brought it back from their work. He asked me to bring it back for you to drink, and for grandpa and the others to drink!"
"It's okay, dad, it's open, it's open! It's all open!"
Cheng Xuemin knew that his father was like this, but when his father-in-law asked him to bring Maotai back, the quality was really full at once, which made Cheng Xuemin feel that it was too luxurious!
But I brought it back just for drinking, so there is no need to feel bad about these one or two bottles of wine.
For Cheng Xuemin, any wine is the same.
The most important thing is to put his father's cards up in front of his relatives and friends.
From now on, when I walk with a sway, people have to come up to him respectfully, or even trot over to say hello to him.
Just this, a bottle of wine and two packs of cigarettes, it’s worth it!
Of course, I took out one bottle of Moutai for everyone to have a taste of it, but Cheng Xuemin didn't dare to take out the other bottle.
Otherwise, after the guests leave, he will inevitably have his legs broken.
However, Yan Cheng Xuemin was not less upset. He was also very distressed and made his father angry. In the end, he simply turned a blind eye and went to have a drink with his uncle.
After dinner, I almost always walk out of the house swinging from side to side.
The most exaggerated thing is that the old uncle was dragged back directly by his aunt and cousin on a cart.
That aunt's face was so dark...
Fortunately, Cheng's mother secretly stuffed a can of oatmeal essence and a pack of cigarettes into her aunt, otherwise she wouldn't have wanted them as a man.
After almost all the guests had left, Cheng Xuemin and his family became quiet!
Next, what Cheng Xuemin faced was Cheng’s father, Cheng’s mother, sister, Cheng Xiuwen and others who tortured him to extract a confession. Of course, Cheng’s father was already drunk, so it was impossible!
The most important thing is to face the two women at home!
Brother-in-law Wang Quanwen was outside accompanying his grandfather, who had not left, while Cheng Xuemin was pulled into the house by his mother and sister.
"Mom, sister! These are the clothes and shoes my parents bought for you. Mom, why don't you try them on?!"
"Sister, you are the same. My parents bought you a new pair of leather shoes. They say they will look good on you!"
There were so many big and small bags of things at home just now, and it was not easy for Cheng's mother to sort them out in front of everyone.
Put them all in the back room!
When the guest left, he took out some candies and other things and gave them gifts in return.
The uncles and uncles who smoked each brought back a pack of cigarettes, and they were all smiling broadly.
"So, those letters were really written by my children to my family?! She really followed you?"
The elder sister Cheng Wenxiu looked at the new clothes and shoes, and she was equally beautiful.
But the ones in the brigade and even in the commune have always given them no confidence.
They were all questioning how the eldest daughter from the city could fall in love with a blind farmer from Chengjiawan.
Although the letter was sent back and everyone in the family really believed it, Cheng Xuemin himself didn’t come back, so he felt somewhat unsure.
"Sister, how can this be false! Didn't it all say it in the family letter?"
Why don't you believe it when you bring up old things again?
"Okay, okay! In two days, my sister and brother-in-law will go to Yanjing with their parents to have a look. Seeing is believing, that's all right!"
Seeing that his sister continued to doubt, Cheng Xuemin couldn't believe it, so Cheng Xuemin could only say this.
Anyway, when he came back this time, he was going to pick up his parents and elder sister, and go to Yanjing to live for a while, and by the way, he gave the bride price to the Feng family.
Although there is no banquet for now, the due etiquette must be indispensable, not to mention that Feng's mother is such a proud person, it is impossible to marry her daughter off so quietly.
"With so many of us going, how can we accommodate our young family?!"
Mother Cheng asked worriedly from the side.
"It's affordable! My family and I bought a house in Yanjing!"
Cheng Xuemin mentioned lightly again that it seemed that he hadn't told his family about buying a courtyard house yet.
It was originally a surprise that Feng Jiayou left for her parents-in-law.
"very?"
"Xuemin, have you bought a house in Yanjing!?"
