Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 329 The current situation of the two sisters

Luo Cheng’s family didn’t stay in the courtyard room for long before leaving. They didn’t leave on their own initiative, but someone from the street office came. There were too many onlookers, and two cars stood out like this. It was easy to alert the patrolling officers, so it didn’t take long for someone from the street office to arrive.

The courtyard room is originally located at a large three-way intersection, otherwise it would not be easy to park vehicles. If Luo Cheng stayed here, he would attract too many people. The people at the street office were afraid of causing trouble, so they politely asked Luo Cheng not to stay here. If anything happened, he could also go to their street office.

The director of the sub-district office whom Luo Cheng knew back then had been promoted long ago because he had solved many work problems for unemployed young people. Of course, now they have retired. Those who have been promoted several levels and retired can be regarded as taking up the large number of people recruited by the automobile factory back then.

People from the street office are polite to Luo Cheng now, but they are not as respectful as they were back then. Luo Cheng could only say now that the well-known figures in the past had not driven two cars over, and the street office would not have been so polite.

But after all, Luo Cheng is no longer in office. If he were still the district director or deputy secretary of the industrial zone, the situation would be similar to that of state-owned enterprises and local units. The people from the street office didn’t dare to let them leave, saying that gathering too many people would have an impact. But Luo Cheng can do whatever he wants.

After being politely asked to leave, Luo Cheng and his family settled in the hotel first. My son and daughter thought the place was too bad, the bed was uncomfortable, the room was too basic and so on.

Alas, the second generation of rich people do not know the sufferings of the world, and it is the fault of a son who does not teach his father. But the evil people still let the children’s mothers teach them. The main reason is that the two daughters are very beautiful and cute. They have inherited Sissi’s beautiful genes. Even if they are sons, they should be like this. At only eight years old, I feel that they will grow up and become a There is no shortage of women. Luo Cheng only hoped that his son would not go to a decent girl from Huohuo family in the future. It’s best to be just like him. It’s good to have Sissi and not mess around.

In the evening, Sissi went to her children’s room first and persuaded them. You must know that when they were in China, Luo Cheng’s hometown and her workplace were not as good as this hotel. Tell them not to be pretentious, otherwise they, as mothers, will take action directly if they become evil and try to politely talk to you about feelings and reasons that don’t make sense.

You have to stay in the city for a few days and then go back to the town. The conditions in the town now are no different from those in the countryside in later generations. But it is better than the real rural areas now. If we really go to the current rural areas, the living conditions will not be much better.

I simply took a day off, there were many people I wanted to meet, and I didn’t know how to arrange it. We might as well search from near to far, looking for Xiaoyu and Shishi first. They are very close. Luo Bing lives in the industrial area, so we’ll go there later. In addition to meeting his younger brothers and sisters, Luo Cheng also wanted to visit his former colleagues, Director Zhang and Lao Du. As for the best they can find, forget it if they can’t find it. After all, it’s been more than ten years.

Because both Xiaoyu and Shishi were arranged by Luo Cheng to work in a movie theater, they were divided into two houses so that they could be taken care of.

Now that they have not seen each other for more than ten years, Luo Chengzhen is a little worried about whether he will recognize them. People in this era age relatively quickly. But their work is relatively leisurely, so it should be better.

Old-fashioned staff buildings, the staff buildings in the urban area were built earlier, and in the industrial area, some similar five-story community houses were built later. The difference is that in the old-fashioned staff building, the kitchen is separated from the room. There is an aisle, and the pool is in the aisle. When the weather is hot, you can move the bamboo bed to the aisle to enjoy the coolness.

Coincidentally, Shishi’s husband was resting at home today, while Xiaoyu’s husband went to work. Shishi’s husband’s surname is Liu Weiguo. He used to be a small policeman, but he has not been promoted much now. When she married Shishi, people said that Liu Weiguo had climbed to the top. Luo Shishi’s family and parents were nothing, but her brother was the district chief of the industrial zone. Even if his brother-in-law was transferred to the industrial zone as a Being a captain or even a section chief or something like that is not easy.

Liu Weiguo was a bit honest. He was too embarrassed to mention this when he got married. It would be bad if he said later that he married Shishi for his own benefit. But being honest does not mean being stupid. In my heart, I was still thinking that Shishi’s eldest brother was the secretary of the industrial zone. Even if he didn’t speak, he was still his brother-in-law and should take care of him.

But who would have known that Luo Cheng disappeared after going to Hong Kong the following year and never appeared again. No one cares about him, and if he doesn’t make any major meritorious deeds, he will have to wait for qualifications. A small policeman has become a captain after more than ten years.

In this married life, there are so many trivial matters, and most of the worries of the poor are about food, rice, oil and salt. Unlike Luo Cheng, he just enjoys life in Xiangjiang. Both he and Qian Qian can do what they like, so there will naturally be less worries.

“You are already the captain, but you still can’t get a house. Xiaofeng is already twelve, and there is Xiaojie. I’ll see what you do in a few years.”

“I’m talking about Shishi, you can’t blame me entirely. Who allowed you to have a house? If you don’t have a house, it was hard to find a house in the unit in the first two years, but to take care of special comrades, those who don’t have housing will be given priority. I will definitely get it. , how do you want me to do it.”

“As long as others need to take care of us, we don’t need it here. There are three children, and you are the eldest, so your parents will take care of them. My brother moved to a double-income house after we got married, and this big family can’t live in it. . My sister is lucky enough to be good at choosing people. She chooses an educated high school student who is tougher than you, a soldier. My brother-in-law is now the department chief.”

As soon as Shishi said this, Liu Weiguo couldn’t say anything. As a captain, he also knew that Shishi and his whole family had suffered over the years, and his job was special. He often performed temporary tasks and was not on time for meals. Not to mention taking care of his family, he couldn’t even take care of himself. .

Liu Weiguo’s mother is still in good health, but his father feels a bit like a medicine bottle. The medicine costs seven or eight yuan a month. This is the medicine Shishi bought at the staff pharmacy. When she went to the market to buy it, she couldn’t afford it even for ten yuan.

Liu Weiguo has younger brothers and sisters, but their lives are not easy either. After all, he and Shishi were two-time earners, and together they could make about seventy a month.

Moreover, when they got married, Shishi’s dowry indeed saved them a lot of burden. She has a watch, a bicycle, and a sewing machine. With a sewing machine, Liu Weiguo’s mother can still sew at home to supplement the household income. But the three children are all half-grown, especially the eldest Liu Feng, who has begun to eat well.

After being told a few words by Shishi, Liu Weiguo stopped arguing and squatted down with a smile while choosing vegetables. He also knew that Shishi had a sharp tongue and a soft heart, but she would not really get angry with him.

But every family has its own problems, and Shishi’s family conditions are not as good as Xiaoyu’s. But Xiaoyu’s mother-in-law’s family is a bit powerful. It was okay at first, Luo Cheng was still there, and Xiaoyu’s mother-in-law treated her quite well. Later Luo Cheng disappeared and was not so polite. Especially after Xiaoyu’s husband has been promoted to section chief by virtue of his own ability, her mother-in-law’s face is really difficult to describe in detail.

Fortunately, Xiaoyu’s husband is pretty good to her, but her husband is caught in the middle, difficult to behave, and doesn’t know how to deal with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Xiaoyu’s parents are from the town. For the city, it is no different from the countryside. His father, Luo Wen, is the president of the cooperative, so he can be considered a supporter of his family. But after Luo Cheng disappeared, he didn’t work for a few years before the town transferred him to a leisurely position. After that, he didn’t work for a few more years and retired when he reached his age.

So after the main supporter Luo Cheng disappeared, her parents had no support. Her parents also advised Xiaoyu to be patient. At least her husband was kind to her. Even if her mother-in-law made things difficult for her, she would not be able to live a good life as she got older.

Another point is that Xiaoyu also gave birth to three children. The first two were daughters, and the third one finally gave birth to a son. If she doesn’t give birth to a son, I’m afraid she will, and her mother-in-law will speak even more rudely.

“Big~~big~~.”

Liu Weiguo, a retired soldier, is now the captain of the police station in this area, and he is much more vigilant than the average person. She was lowering her head to choose vegetables, but instinctively felt someone approaching and immediately raised her head, while Luo Shishi was still chopping vegetables with her back behind her back and chattering. Talking about how the children are doing, they are getting healthy. They work both jobs. Even if they are hindered by a father-in-law who takes medicine, their life is not too bad compared with the people around them.

But children lack nutrition, oil and water. Liu Weiguo’s unit is also considered a Qingshui Yamen, with no benefits. These are all trivial matters, but that’s how ordinary people live their lives, with all the ups and downs.

The people approaching were naturally Luo Cheng and others, and they made a move so that Liu Weiguo could not make a sound, no matter how shocked he looked now.

“Shishi, the child is short of food and water, so we will go to the restaurant to eat braised pork.”

“You’re still stubborn, no~~yes~~.”

At this point, the sound of cutting vegetables stopped, and Shishi’s body trembled slightly. Because she heard something was wrong in the voice, it was not her husband Liu Weiguo’s words, and this voice had been there for more than ten years. Even though the voice was a little thicker, she felt familiar when she heard it.

Turning around, he saw his eldest brother Luo Cheng appearing. The corners of his mouth twitched and he was speechless. Tears flowed down involuntarily.

Luo Cheng looked at Shishi, she still had the shadow of her former self, but time was not forgiving, and she was far different from the girl she once was. Compared with Sissi, there may be more traces of time.

“You are such an old man and you are still crying. Is your brother-in-law called Liu Weiguo or Chen Lin? Has he been bullying my girl for many years?”

After comforting Shishi, Luo Cheng felt a little embarrassed about Liu Weiguo. He remembered the names of his two brothers-in-law, but they were not familiar with them. After so many years, Luo Cheng can no longer remember the names of the two brothers-in-law.

Moreover, Luo Cheng was also traveling between Hong Kong and China at that time, and he and his brother-in-law did not chat much together.

“Weiguo, don’t blame your elder brother for admitting the wrong person, he has a bad memory. Siyun, Tianjun, Siyan, come and call someone quickly. This is your sister-in-law, and this is your uncle.”

Luo Cheng was confused about the names of his two brothers-in-law, but Qian Qian still remembered that back then, whether it was Shi Shi or Xiao Yu’s partner, she checked them in person. So Luo Cheng would make a mistake, but she would not make this mistake.

Liu Weiguo stood up quickly at this time and said it didn’t matter, he would not blame Luo Cheng for not remembering his name clearly. The daughter-in-law’s eldest brother, who had disappeared for more than ten years, suddenly appeared with three children. But he remembered that the thing that Shishi had always been thinking about was the fact that her sister-in-law and her eldest brother had been together for four or five years and never got pregnant.

My wife’s eldest brother is back, so naturally I want to entertain him, but I have to say something that makes me feel ashamed. This house has two bedrooms and one living room, which is pretty good for this era. But they lived in one room as a couple and in one room as their parents. The living room is divided into one large and one small room with wooden boards for two sons and one daughter. When I usually eat, I eat outside when it’s hot and in the aisle when it’s cold. To be honest, it’s really hard to entertain people.

But in this era, there are many situations like them. In the 1964 census, there were only over 700 million people, but now there are over 1 billion. Family planning has been promoted since 1971, but it has not been compulsory. But now the slogan of family planning is getting louder and louder. There are women’s federations who often do propaganda work.

Sooner or later, fines for extra rebirths will arise, but this has little to do with Shishi Xiaoyu and the others. The children are now three, the eldest is now a teenager, and they have no plans to have any more.

Liu Weiguo called out the children in the house and asked them to call them uncle and aunt. As for entertaining, there is nothing decent at home. I haven’t bought any New Year’s goods yet, but my kids are on holiday. In this era, there was less knowledge and less homework in schools, and the number of days off during winter vacation was more than that of later generations.

Looking at Shishi’s children’s clothes, I don’t even compare them to those of the 1960s, but they are also patched. Looking at his child again, Luo Cheng felt uncomfortable. But it doesn’t matter, he is back and everything will be fine in the future.

Shishi and Xiaoyu are still working in the cinema. They both have to go to work today, but they have to be on duty at noon and evening, and there are no movies in the morning.

Luo Cheng asked Shishi to take him to find Xiao Yu. It should be the row of houses in front of him. They were all the houses that had been replaced when Luo Cheng left.

Shishi asked Luo Cheng to pay attention, Xiaoyu’s mother-in-law was not an easy person to get along with. Moreover, her mother-in-law not only dislikes Xiaoyu, but she also dislikes Shishi. Just because Xiaoyu usually takes care of Shishi, her mother-in-law said that she was eating her inside and out. Although Liu Weiguo is the captain, his welfare is really nothing. Xiaoyu’s husband, Chen Lin, is the section chief and a corporate unit. There are usually a lot of bills at this time, so naturally the light rain can take care of Shishi.

Luo Cheng was a little puzzled after hearing Shishi’s words. He had also met Xiaoyu’s parents-in-law back then, and they were very enthusiastic. But when I think about my identity back then, there are a lot of snobbish people these days. Now that this happens, it feels normal.

This is bullying because no one in the Luo family can support him. Let Shishi lead the way quickly if Xiao Yu has a bad life. Luo Cheng wants them to look good. Others don’t know history, so he doesn’t know it yet. Many places are waiting to see the reform and opening up, but he knows that this is a success. When the time comes, various places will start to attract investment. For a big boss like Luo Cheng, provincial leaders want to see him, but he has to decide whether he is in a mood to see him or not.

(Updates have been a bit slow recently, mainly because I don’t want it to end too quickly. There is a new book coming out this month. If the ending is too bad, no one will read the new book. I need to explain all the characters and have a happy ending.)
