Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

Chapter 107

The cold shrinking of the big winter is smoky in words. But this is the case, there are still many people on the street. Those who come and go in a hurry are all rushing to work. Xu Nannan found that although these workers were in a hurry, they all had smiles on their faces, expectations and full of energy.

This kind of atmosphere cannot be felt intuitively in the small town of Nanjiang. They are really working with enthusiasm and energy and want to contribute to this country. Just looking at them, Xu Nannan felt full of energy.

When we got to the square, the genius was overwhelmed.

Xu Nannan looked from left to right. She didn't see the guard of honor. Although she hadn't watched the raising of the national flag live, she had seen it on TV before. The flag bearers of the guard of honor in uniforms flung the national flag into the sky in a handsome manner. With the wind over the capital, the national flag fluttered in the wind. The scene looked exciting.

After waiting for a while, Xu Nannan looked at the middle-aged man, the man in overalls, and took out a national flag from his bag. The national flag was put on the line with a solemn expression, and slowly, the national flag rose...

The man was still singing the national anthem, and his singing became louder and louder while the national flag was raised.

Xu Nannan couldn't help but sing together softly.

The national flag was raised and the national anthem ended. The worker saluted and hurried to work again.

Staring at the national flag for a long time, Xu Nannan looked back at Lin Qingbai, "Isn't the honor guard raising the flag?"

Lin Qingbai's sight was also taken back from the national flag, "What guard of honor?"

"Flag-raiser, flag-guard..." Xu Nannan suddenly thought about everything. All the flag-raising ceremonies she knew took place a long, long time later. At this time, she really didn't know if it was the same as before. Perhaps it is because the raising of the national flag is something that everyone knows. As long as you are a Chinese, even if you don't see it with your own eyes, you know what it is like to raise the national flag. So she subconsciously thought that these things have always been like this.

Lin Qingbai rubbed the top of her hat with her head, "What do you think about in your head all day."

Xu Nannan said boredly, "Thinking wildly." She forgot, at this time, where the whole country still has the energy to pay attention to these rituals.

Lin's family, Lin Changzheng also came back from outside early in the morning. He stayed in the camp all night, if it weren't for Lin Qingbai's return, he wouldn't be back today during the day.

As he walked into the house, he asked Li Wan to wait and change the cold coat outside, "Qingbo, he is not a sleeper."

Li Wan said, "I went out early in the morning and took that little girl out for shopping. You don't know what it looks like this winter, and you don't know how to be considerate."

Lin Changzheng paused when he heard this. Then he shook his head and smiled, "This kid finally looks like other children of the same age, and he knows to please his wife."

Seeing him heartless, Li Wan felt a little uncomfortable. While going to make tea for him, he said, "A big man, all day long around a woman to figure out what's going on. You were also focused on career at the beginning. That girl is still too young, and she will definitely not be able to take care of Qing in the future. Bai. Lao Lin, I’m telling you about this. Anyway, I’m not satisfied with this child. Even if it’s not Ximei, there are other good girls, but I’m not satisfied with this child. Although I am his stepmother, I haven't treated him badly over the years. Even if I have other ideas on this matter, most of them are for him."

"Li Wan, don't care about this matter, I can't care about his affairs." Lin Changzheng got a headache hearing these things.

Say that Li Wan is wrong, but from the point of view of the matter, finding someone in the compound is good or bad for Qingbai's future. But Qingbai has his own ideas.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Li Wan stopped arguing with him. After so many years between the two, she has not been able to persuade Lin Changzheng once. Anyway, this matter has Ximei to toss about. As for that Nan Nan, she was showing up, she didn't really have such a thick-skinned face, relying on being the daughter-in-law of the Lin family.

The husband and wife were talking about this, and Sun Ximei ran over too, breathing in her breath as she looked into the room, "Uncle Lin, Auntie, and Brother Qingbai?"

"Qingbo is out, why don't you wait at home, it's weirdly cold outside." Li Wan came over to help her get her shoes.

When Sun Ximei heard this, she was stunned, "Going out? I'm going out this early."

"No, that little girl is ignorant." Li Wan said.

"Li Wan, what are you talking about, get Ximei shoes and let the children come in and sit and warm up." Lin Changzheng said with a stern face.

"I'm taking it." Li Wan quickly laughed.

Sun Ximei was unwilling to come in, and stood at the door biting her lip, "I, I'd better go back first, and come back later." Qingbai brother is not at home, and she is boring to stay here.

After speaking, he turned and ran away.

"This kid, hey, how wonderful." Li Wan sighed.

Sun Ximei went home before going out. Grandmother was cleaning. When she saw that she had come back, she was surprised, "Why are you back? Didn't you go to the Lin's house to play?"

"Brother Qingbai is not at home." Sun Ximei lowered her head.

The grandmother walked over, frowning slightly, looking at her unhappy look, and asked, "I heard people say that Lin Qingbai didn't come back alone this time. He brought a little girl, didn't he?"

Sun Ximei nodded.

"In this case, you leave their house. Otherwise, they gossiping."

"Why not? I've been there all these years, why can't I go now. Mom, you're not looking at me either. Brother Qingbai came back with a girl. But Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin didn't like her. If it wasn't for Brother Qingbai to go out alone without a family member by his side, she wouldn't be able to take advantage of it." When it came to the back, Sun Ximei's nose was sore. Over the years, she has not given up. By the way, when she wasn't by Qingbai's brother, others took advantage of her. I had known that she would not go to this university anymore, and it would be fine to go to Nanjiang with Brother Qingbai. Otherwise, it won't be the girl's business.

The grandmother felt so sad when she saw that her daughter was so sad. She has seen her daughter's attitude towards Lin Qingbo over the years. But Lin Qingbai didn't cherish it. If you don't cherish it, let's find a better one, so we really want to. As a result, I brought a girl back from a small county. Doesn't this make everyone in the compound laugh?

"Ximei, your father doesn't agree with you and Lin Qingbai very much, or let it go." Grandmother persuaded.

Sun Ximei said firmly, "Mom, now that marriage is free, you can't force me. No matter what, I have to fight for it."

Seeing her daughter so persistent, her grandmother couldn't say anything. Just thinking of the things her husband said to her at night, she also has scruples. If Lin Qingbai treats their daughters well, they can take care of each other as a family. If it's not good, why should they wade in the muddy water.

It's just that there are some things that I can't tell my daughter. It seems that when the grandson comes back, we still need to discuss this matter with the grandson.

It's a pity that Lin Qingbai is a young boy, apart from other aspects, he is really an excellent child.

After having breakfast outside, Lin Qingbai and Xu Nannan returned to the compound. After buying some gifts outside, the two went directly to Zhou's house to visit.

Zhou Yunshan, the old leader before Yu Hai, was also a well-known figure. Even Lin Qingbai in the army often heard this old story. He is not afraid of the sky and not afraid of the earth. He has a hot temper and dares to confront the leader, but he is particularly capable. The most important thing is to protect shortcomings.

Therefore, as long as the people led by Zhou Yunshan admired this old chief in particular.

Now Zhou Yunshan's troops have all gone to the front, and Zhou Yunshan will also go after the new year. Therefore, Xu Nannan felt that it was a coincidence that he had come. If it was a little later, he would probably not see anyone.

The Zhou family’s house is exactly the same as the Lin family’s house. They grow vegetable plots and cover them with a thick layer of snow.

Hearing the knock on the door, the guard ran over and opened the door with a stunned look. When he saw Lin Qingbai and Xu Nannan, his expression was a bit surprised.

Lin Qingbai said, "We want to visit Chief Zhou."

"Please wait a moment, I'll ask the chief for instructions." Then he closed the door and ran away.

Lin Qingbai smiled, "I guess I can't see it above."

"Why?" Xu Nannan said in surprise. As soon as the voice fell, I heard the roar inside, "Lao Lin's, what are you doing looking for me, no see. Lao Lin personally came and no one. Grandma's, I have no friendship with him."

Just across a door, Xu Nannan could hear the shouts inside the house, his face was a little embarrassed.

Lin Qingbai smiled, "I'm tired of it."

"..." What an enemy is this.

The guard quickly opened the door, with a straight face, even if his face was a little red, he felt embarrassed in his heart. It’s just that it’s not easy to show it on the face, and he insisted on saying, "Our chief elder has committed a problem, and it is not convenient to see guests now. Or come next time. You can't receive these gifts."

Just to send a letter, wait for the next time? Xu Nannan took out the letter in his bag and handed it to the guard, "Comrade, I'm from Nanjiang to help people deliver the letter. If the chief is uncomfortable, we won't go in, but please transfer this letter to Chief Zhou for us. Do not?"

Hearing that Xu Nannan came from Nanjiang, the guard's eyes widened a little, "Are you from Nanjiang?"

Xu Nannan smiled and nodded.

The guard looked at the letter in his hand, "Okay, I'll forward it to the chief. Then if the chief finds you, where can you find it?" Then he glanced at Lin Qingbai's direction.

"Let's go to their house to find it." Xu Nannan bit his head and pointed at Lin Qingbai. No way, although this chief hates the Lin family, who asked her to find a Lin family as a target.

The guard received the letter, "Then I know."

After completing the task, Xu Nannan stopped being at the door of others. He pulled Lin Qingbai and walked back. When he walked far away, he couldn't help asking, "How did your dad offend the other person? This contradiction doesn't seem small." Those who live in a compound have to take care of their affection anyway. It would be too much trouble to be able to prevent people from entering the door directly.

"I'm not very clear. The uncles don't mention it. But it seems to be a huge difference in ideas. My dad doesn't say this, and we are not easy to ask."

Xu Nannan thought that because of differences in ideological concepts, they could make such a big mess. This older generation has really strong tempers.

At this time, Zhou Yunshan, who was very temperamental, was lying on the bed and lost his temper. He felt that the guard was really ignorant, and even sent a letter to the Lin family, which hit him in the face.

"Okay, okay, do you have such a bad temper? Didn't the person leave? You have to make trouble." A middle-aged woman with short hair next to her persuaded him while giving him medicine.

"I'm just upset, what's the matter?" Zhou Yunshan hummed. "Who are you daughter-in-law and who are you helping."

Madam Zhou rolled her eyes helplessly. For so many years, this temper cannot be changed.

"Help you, all right."

"I should have helped me. How many crimes I had suffered because of him Lin Changzheng. This guy with an unresolute position is annoying when I see him."

The guard watched Zhou Yunshan's artillery fire with the same temper, and felt a little frustrated. However, if you agree to other people's things, it's not easy not to handle them. Just took out the letter from his sleeve.

"The head of the report, the **** who came with you just now asked me to forward a letter to you. Oh, this **** is from Nanjiang."

Zhou Yunshan was just about to get angry when he heard that it was from Nanjiang, and he was shocked, "Nanjiang? Who is from Nanjiang, who is older, and his head is not good enough."

Madam Zhou stunned while holding the medicine bowl, "Less than is Nanjiang's."
