Old days (57)

On the twelfth lunar month, it really gets cold as soon as it gets dark.

Licorice shrank her shoulders, rubbed her ears, and walked towards the family area of ​​the factory here.

The leader lives in the alley in the first row, and there is a large venue in front of him, which is very empty.

This place...even if it is so close to home, she has never been here. She is not the same person, why do she do when she runs to other people's territory? Even when watching a movie, she still stands on the stack of firewood from afar, which is a great distance from this area.

The first time I came here, I felt really neat.

The lights in every household are on, and a large area is like this. The warm yellow light comes out from the window, making people feel warm at a glance.

Their windows were not covered with window paper, but glass. It was very bright. It was still early, and some windows were not covered with curtains. The heat was a little hazy on the glass. I couldn't see clearly what was going on in the house. I just looked at the hazy energy and knew that the room must be very warm.

But there are still people who don’t want to stay in such a warm house. For example, a group of little boys playing in the yard can always find their fun.

She stood at the entrance of the alley, hesitating a little. Isn’t it good to come to the door like this?

But this child was picked up by him and it was not impossible to take it home to raise it, but it was actually the father who was the one who was raising a child. For a person who obviously had better family conditions, she felt that it was more at ease to bother an outsider than to bother her father.

After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards the children.

Chaoyang was in a 'gambling box' with a group of kids.

A cigarette box is also called a cigarette label or a cigarette skin.

How to play? Children have to collect cigarette boxes first. The prices of different types of cigarettes are different. For example, long Chinese 7000 yuan, short Chinese 600 yuan, peony 500 yuan, red tower mountain 500 yuan, group hero 400 yuan, Evergrande 400 yuan, spring city 300 yuan, three seven 300 yuan, sea river 300 yuan, etc.

They first use the price of the cigarette box in their hands to decide who will play first. Each person chooses two cigarette boxes and compares the price. After the comparison, they arrange the order of playing according to the price. Then stack the two cigarette boxes together and fold them into long strips. Then fold them in half. This is not a long strip that is forked. Use the fulcrum at the end of the two forks as the fulcrum, which can be held up. After standing, see if you will fall by yourself. If you don’t fall, you can fan it with your hand once. If you fan it down, you will win. The two cigarette boxes that fell will belong to him. If you don’t fall, you will lose, and then start and play with the next person.

This way of playing, the winner is only in a flash.

In order to win others, the children collected good cigarette boxes everywhere. The same is true for Chaoyang. His father doesn't smoke, but his family never lacks good cigarettes. He wants to entertain people. And the level is often not ordinary. People who interact with each other are quite complicated. Today, he came to another study group and sent two cigarettes from another place. The inspection team from Beijing tomorrow said that Director Jin would try this cigarette.

Therefore, the brands of cigarettes at home are quite diverse. What are the seafood products, the Daqianmen Shuangxi, the Temple of Heaven produced in Beijing, and even the Qingbao produced in Hong Kong, the Sanxi, Shuangfeng, and the special cigarettes obtained from his grandfather.

Often, he took out these unfamiliar brands, but no one knew them! If he didn't know them, he wouldn't know the price. At the beginning, he could still betray, or at least he could be called the same price as Chang China. But later, his friends refused to admit it. The children, regardless of whether you are the factory manager's child or not, they knew that the price of the cigarettes this guy might be higher. But people also said, it would be boring if you want to play like this. Your dad is the leader, and your cigarettes must be good. If you play with us like this, you can't play anymore. Isn't there a rumor?

Senior cadres draw peony, intermediate cadres draw Xiangshan, working class 2003, and poor lower-middle peasants cannon rolls.

Of course Chaoyang refused to say that his cigarette must be good. Not only did he not recognize this, he also had to grit his teeth and said, "I lied to you before... Since you have seen through it now, let's forget it. But I won't be vain... Tell you where I can pick up this kind of cigarette box..."

This is more popular.

He asked one by one, and he said, "There are foreign guests in the provincial guesthouse. If you are lucky, you can find the squids of foreign cigarettes near that area."

He said that, in fact, where can I easily find that place?

The sanitation there is very good, so how could it be thrown around? He just went with his father once and couldn't do anything to pick up cigarette skins. He secretly found a kind-looking uncle who worked inside and asked him to help him tell the cleaning person, and it was only given by someone. It was impossible to pick it up easily. He just changed the topic, not to ask them to really pick up cigarette skins. After all, it's still a bit embarrassing...

After fooling this thing today, he was a little interested. I guess the cake at home was about to be released, and he almost smelled it, so he wanted to go back.

Just as I was about to find an excuse to end the game, I heard someone say later: "Little brother, please do a favor."

Chaoyang stood up by the way: "What's the matter?" He responded, got up, packed his things and put them in his pocket, and said to his friends: "You guys play first, I'll go and help me."

As he said that, he stepped back. Seeing that the friend did not object, he went to see the young lady who asked for help.

Licorice just heard those children say that the child’s father is the leader. Then the child of the leader’s family should know Lin Duanyang more. She was afraid that people would hear the bad influence, so she took out a hard fruit candy from her pocket and stuffed it to Chaoyang: "Do you know Lin Duanyang?"

who?

Lin Duanyang?

Chaoyang's eyes were rolling, and a flower girl came to find her elder brother at night. This was a situation!

He nodded repeatedly: "Lin Duanyang, the eldest son of the factory manager, I know. I know him!"

Licorice took the candy cube and stuffed it to Chaoyang: "Then can you go find him and call him out secretly? He said someone was looking for him..."

He even called out secretly!

This is even more inconsistent.

Chaoyang looked up and down at this flower girl: Yes! She is so beautiful.

"Okay!" he responded, "You are waiting here, I'll call you." After that, he ran home.

When you open the door, you will smell the fragrance.

The door curtains were lifted and the aroma became stronger: "The cake is baked!"

Lin Yutong smiled and said, "Look, it's just out of the pot, and I'm back after smelling it. Wash your hands!"

Chaoyang responded, and went to the place near the basin shelf by the door, and then shouted: "Brother, the water is cold, take a pot out of it. My hands are wet."

Lin Yutong said, "You take it yourself, you are so mean!" He also said to Duanyang, "Don't pay attention to him and ask him to take it yourself."

"I'll go." The kid winked when he went out, afraid that something would happen.

He went out with the pot, Chaoyang whispered like a thief: "Someone is looking for it at the door..."

Duan Yang added hot water to him and asked, "Who?"

Chaoyang put his hand in a basin and tried the water temperature, and smiled, "You'll know if you go out and take a look. I'll definitely keep it a secret for you."

Naughty kids, keep it confidential.

Duan Yang put the kettle in and said to him: "Go in and bring the kettle..." Then he shouted opposite him: "Mom, I'll go out for a while. Come back soon."

"Don't delay the clothes when they are cold in a while, it will be delicious." The young man couldn't say he wouldn't call him out at night. If he wanted to go out, Lin Yutong called him out.

Duan Yang carried a military coat and walked out while responding.

After leaving the gate, no one was seen! I thought it was Chaoyang, a kid, who was so naughty again, and he was slandering himself. As a result, just as he was about to turn around, a half-person figure flashed from behind the big tree in the opposite yard, pressing a sound of "she" toward this side, and then said, "Lin Duanyang...here..."

When Duanyang heard this sound, he knew who it was. He turned around and looked at his yard before walking over.

The girl hid behind the tree, like a thief. He said, "As for it?"

"Why didn't it?" Licorice looked around and looked around, "I'm looking for you this late night, aren't you afraid that others will misunderstand?"

"Then you can't look for it during the day?" Duan Yang said.

"Isn't this even more misunderstanding during the day?" Licorice looked in the direction of the yard, "The child who asked you to go in and didn't come out. He is your family..." No one in your family knows it, right?

Duanyang didn't know what she was thinking, so he just said, "You still have time to care about this. Hurry up, what's the matter? Say it!"

Listen to this impatient tone!

What I said before, I forgot!

Licorice snorted: "What did you think before? You also said that you paid the money. If someone asked for money and refused to raise a child, he would give the child away in two years, or... the child died unexpectedly... who should I ask for advice?"

Duan Yang's expression suddenly became bad. He thought of his nanny. Didn't he just give himself to others while collecting his own child support?

This is really something I don’t think about thoroughly, so it’s too natural.

He asked, "Then what do you think?"

Licorice shook her head: "If I knew what to do, wouldn't I just come to find you?" She asked, "Your family... can't be raised?"

Duan Yang rolled her eyes and said, "If you want to bring it back, my parents will definitely not care. But if you are not in the factory, I don't know how busy they are. When my younger brother and sister were young, they were all taken care of by my great-grandmother, and my parents didn't have that time at all. Now, if I get a child, my great-grandmother is so old that I can make the elderly tired? My uncle's second uncle and aunt are all in the army, so busy that even my little cousin is not with me, and I can take care of others? My uncle's family? Not good! If it was two years earlier or two years later, maybe it would be fine. My aunt likes children very much and always wants a daughter... But this year it's really not possible, my aunt has gone further to study. My grandma takes my two cousins ​​and can't make any moves."

Licorice asked, "Then there will always be someone in your aunt and uncle's house."

The two aunts can’t raise too many children, and they can’t raise them anymore? My aunt has never had children, but the more children are, the less you can’t persuade others to adopt them. What’s wrong? Are you thinking of people to death? Dare you say that they can’t give birth to children in your entire life?

When he said this to licorice, licorice also felt that it made sense.

That's the case.

People cannot do things so unethical.

"But my family has difficulties too!" Licorice pouted, "My father is in poor health, and he has to rely on his labor to come back to farm. I can't help at most. At most, I just get some herbs and send them to the purchase station to exchange for some money... If you get such a young child, you really can't live..."

"I'll send you the fine grains to you and feed them first. The busy farming process is all about the New Year. We raise them like this first. Let me think of a solution, is it okay?" Duan Yang was helpless, and now he could only come up with such a solution.

If it doesn't work, it has to work! Otherwise, what should I do?

"Then let it be." Licorice looked around again, "Then I'll leave first." As she said that, she was about to escape.

On this evening, Duan Yang said, "I'll take you back."

"No!" Licorice is about to leave.

Duan Yang followed behind, and the public security was not chaotic, but there were always some bad guys who stopped the big girl to whistle and talk. There were so many people in a factory, and there were all kinds of people. He thought it would be better to send it back to insurance.

The two of them walked one after another, and they always followed the other person, and Licorice could not walk anymore. They felt that they had to go on the same hand and feet. She stopped and said to the Duanyang behind: "You go ahead..."

What can I do when I walk in front? "Stop the wolf for you!"

The licorice turned red, but luckily it became dark and no one could see it.

She said 'yes': "I just asked me to block the wolf for me."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not throw you out when the wolf comes." Duan Yang walked in front of him, and licorice followed behind him, not daring to get too close or too far away.

I heard the voices of several people coming from the opposite side from afar, and then the flashlight on the opposite side shone on this side.

Licorice ran over and hid behind Duan Yang with her waist. Duan Yang was wearing his hands in his pockets, and his military coat was covered with his arms. He was much wider when he supported the coat like this. The person behind him was blocking him, and he couldn't see clearly from afar.

Licorice grabbed Duan Yang's clothes, and Duan Yang had to reach out and pull the collar of the coat. The clothes she was wearing would fall easily by her pulling. Then she had to squint her eyes and look at the opposite side: "Who? What are you taking?"
