【】Chapter 1 【Part 2】(1/2)
Two days before his death, early in the morning, Mr. Guan called his fifth son Guan Ruidong:
[Go to the city, call your brother, don’t send a telegram, it’s scary, I can’t fool Xiaoqi. I just said: Dad misses you, go home and have a look. Don’t mention that it’s useless, you’re not dead yet! Do you understand (the city refers to Chunye City)]
While talking, the old man took out two rounds under the pillow:
[Remember, buy snacks for the children and buy some meat, don’t be reluctant to leave]
The old man always said that he was the only one at home:
[Guan Ruidong received the order and did not ask any more words, and went out to handle it one after another. Because of his father's order, it was impossible to make suggestions. For fear that the fifth brother would make mistakes in his words, his eldest son Guan Ruixi hurriedly followed him]
1975 long-distance phone number:
[If you choose a train, it is really cumbersome. The fastest way is to go to Chunye City, find a special telecommunications system, and wait patiently in line]
1975, 50 cents, 60 cents/min:
[You can dial a long distance. Gongzhou/Chengye, 2 cents/per minute. If you send a telegram, 3 minutes/per word, punctuation mark counts 1 word]
‘Dad misses you, go home and see’, it’s a comma to send a telegram:
【But 24 cents. The old father doesn't want to save this money, he knows his younger son too much】
In 1975, Chun Ye, flour, eggs, sugar, and cooking oil baked cakes:
[Should be willing to use materials. It was very good at that time, 80 cents per kilogram]
Mooncakes and even retail:
【1 cents/piece, very ordinary. 1 cents/piece, better】
Pork is divided into many grades, just like now:
【8 coin 3≈≈9 coin 5/kg】
The grade is reduced:
【6 coin 4≈≈7 coin 2/jin】
Before leaving, the family hurriedly prepared meals:
[The steamed bun is wrapped in oil paper. Fry 4 poached eggs, put pickles, put them in lunch boxes, and put them on the Celtic military shoulder bag. Two old military kettles wrapped in cotton covers and filled with hot tea, but some colors are definitely not ginger tea. It is cold, and Grandma Guan’s family is not allowed to drink cold water outside]
Just before leaving:
【One room in the north room】
Grandma Guan family reminded:
[Don't be vague when buying meat. Children sit in front of your father and look at them (children, referring to grandchildren)]
The boss Guan Ruixi has no idea:
【Do you think you can buy...3 pounds?
Lao Wu Guan Ruidong couldn't help but smack her lips:
[Those people, if they put 3 pounds into the pot, they won’t... Let’s make an empty bowl, and our father will definitely be anxious]
Grandma Guan agrees very much:
【Thinking and thinking about it, I get another 10 yuan】
Tell my two sons:
[Then buy meat for 20 yuan, don’t touch it... Buy cakes from the market, it tastes delicious, 3 pounds is not used as food. Call this 10 yuan, and it’s round-trip money. If something goes wrong... don’t buy something useless]
After thinking about it, wouldn’t it take time to waste:
[I pulled the door open and saw a few children fiddling with red peppers and corn on the cob, and shouting too much as Shaowen]
Grandma Guan's order:
[Xiao Wen, call your fourth uncle, there is something to do]
Shaowen rushed straight to the hospital:
[Guan Ruilu, Guan Ruifeng, Guan Ruinian, the three brothers are busy working with the storage. After hearing the mother's call, Guan Ruinian hurriedly gave up the trivial matters in his hands and rushed over quickly]
Grandma Guan’s arrangements are very correct and must save time:
[Ruinian, take these 20 and find the old man... I said your father asked him to buy meat, and I took it back and we will take it... I called on the market, Yulong came back, do you understand... I'm just trying to be so cool]
The three sons responded in a hurry:
[Don't delay the time when going out separately]
Grandma Guan's family told a few daughters-in-law:
[Make dumplings, eggs, vegetables and meat fillings, wait for a few meats and vegetables to stir-fry, drink a little wine. Pick up the hour, wait for Ruixi and Ruidong]
Listen to family gossip:
[Old Master Guan sighed and waved his hand to show]
The daughters-in-law are busy serving:
【Hold up and sit upright on the kang, put the pillow on the back, and then hurry up and hold the purple clay pot, so the old man moistened his throat and didn't want to eat it again】
Watching the old man shook his hands and made a gesture to bring a cigarette:
[Several daughters-in-law are busy working, handing over cigarettes, holding a cigarette, lighting a fire, and specially preparing filters for the old man]
Grandma Guan’s family couldn’t understand it very much and couldn’t help asking:
[Old man, why did you let the child come back today? Where is it?
Mr. Guan slowly took a few sips of cigarettes and was in a very depressed mood:
[Are you going to work in advance? That's not Chun Ye, who left his hometown, rely on his favor! A telegram from a gang, Xiao Qi is smart, Tie Duan's family has something to do, he can let go and dare to absent from work! What does the unit think of him? He has no classes to eat for dinner at work. What are you eating?
Grandma Guan was very sad:
[As soon as the child has been walking for several years, you will not turn a corner! Wouldn't you be able to come back soon? What a big deal]
The second daughter-in-law Guang Qinglan has always been very good at being a human being. She spoke very cautiously and said with a smile:
[Dad, Yulong is very popular with the unit, but you can follow your own! He is born with righteousness, who doesn’t like it! If others succeed, we dare not say whether Yulong speaks, he will definitely not run away]
This statement comes out:
[Everyone couldn't help but whisper, Grandma Guan also agreed very much]
Mr. Guan sighed:
[Xiao Qi, it’s not a Raptor but a Jiang! He can hire him for a year, I believe... I said, I finally put the foundation of Gongzhou and become a squad leader, so I have to go up, right? Be a workshop director and see if he has the fate to be a factory director, right?
Yulong is not afraid of being driven out, he will not starve to death! As soon as he says, it’s not that I want to drive him away, God’s will! He has to leave this house to be promising! What are you doing with here? Where to sell garlic and matchboxes? Xiaoqi is a hero who is in a great position. If he is well-developed, he can count on it, remember]
He drove away the Yulong and said God's will:
【Several daughters-in-law looked at each other, but wanted to ask again, but they didn't dare]
Grandma Guan’s family has no choice:
[Yulong’s youngest son also made Mr. Guan the most troublesome. Over the years, I have said several times that Yulong will definitely have a great future and wealth is indescribable. Grandma Guan’s family really can’t think of what the so-called great future is? Is it possible to go to restaurants every day (go to restaurants, go to restaurants for dinner)]
After talking about family matters for a few more words, Mr. Guan smiled and waved:
【Several daughters-in-law looked at each other, got up and went out, leaving only the mother-in-law】
Four wives, two of them went early, and the third one was the first year:
[I can't see it... I feel sad when I think about it... I can't say anything, only tears are everywhere]
After so many years of staying together, I know my husband too much, and comforted me softly:
[No, I can't live... I'm not hungry, it's not... Life is not good, live evenly]
Old Master Guan just cried silently and lamented:
[Remember, the screen wall in the Second Courtyard cannot move, if you have nothing to do, take water to rinse it, don’t get dirty... Yulong Bachelor, must sue him for a sewing machine and wait for a decent Kun watch, don’t be fooled by it at that time (Kun watch, refers to a women’s watch).
If you are going to get ready in the future, you will definitely dress up the Buddhist temple in the back... Those scriptures and Buddha statues are hidden well and you cannot be allowed to be confiscated.
Remember, Yulong’s future wife will be a good child with great ability, and it will be a good family! Don’t pretend to be a great ancestor with others, no matter how poor or rich you are, treat others’ children with a solid eye]
Grandma Guan’s family was so confused that she filled 3 bowls of ecstasy soup:
[The youngest son doesn't even have a partner, where does the daughter-in-law come from?]
In desperation, he hurriedly asked:
[Old man, are you talking nonsense? Where did Yulong’s wife come from? Who is it? You know her parents’ home, so what are you still...]
Old Master Guan was furious and glared at him and scolded him:
[A woman, can you cheat? Just remember! Ask such nonsense, what is the use of it?]
Seeing that his wife stopped asking, the old man had just calmed down and continued:
[In the future, when you meet someone and a child, do you understand? If you drive a horse, you will be short and help, don’t be ruthless. Do you understand (a horse, a short stool means that life is difficult and money is not enough)]
I don’t know where the daughter-in-law is? Grandma Guan’s family is falling into the clouds:
To be continued...
