Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

Chapter 59

Of course there are opinions. They do not share the house, and if they live in a good single dormitory, they have to move. I was irritated at first, but it was still noisy at night.

Working in the daytime is tiring enough, and making troubles at night, I thought everyone was as idle as her.

Zhu Fang felt a little gloating when he talked about these things.

She herself was smashed by her father and stepmother at home, and now seeing stepfathers and stepmothers like Li Jing and Xu Jiansheng, she also feels quite agreeable.

Xu Nannan was not surprised that Xu Meizi moved out.

People like Xu Meizi are definitely not the masters who will follow others. They can earn money and have a place to live. It would be okay if Xu Jiansheng and his wife have been beautiful. In trouble, they will become like this, and they will definitely be the first to run.

The two of them went to the cafeteria to eat, Xu Xiaoman also had a meal in it. Seeing Xu Nannan and Zhu Fang coming, they immediately sat in their seats and waved.

The child is now able to take care of himself, and usually comes over to eat after school without being watched.

"Sister, today's food is good, saying that I can eat five or two rice." Xu Xiaoman said happily.

A while ago, there was not enough food in the cafeteria, so she didn't dare to eat more. When she went home, she had to spend money to buy food.

Zhu Fang smiled and said, "Your sister is credited with this. She brought back four thousand catties of grain."

Xu Xiaoman looked proud, "My sister is the best."

Xu Nannan smiled and gave her a piece of meat. The feeling of being admired is really great.

Several people were eating, Xu Meizi also came in from the outside carrying the bowls and chopsticks, her face was a little black and she seemed to have suffered a bit last night.

She stood there and had a meal. She looked around in the cafeteria and found Xu Nannan and the others here.

Xu Nannan glanced at her, not even a look in her eyes, but Zhu Fang kept staring at Xu Meizi. Seeing that she was sitting with Wu Jian, she lowered her head and said, "I think she is not stupid. Sword."

Xu Nannan smiled, "People are not stupid."

In the whole old Xu family, there is nothing smarter than Liu Qiao's mother and daughter. At the old Xu family in the countryside, even the old lady was used as a gunman by Liu Qiao, and here Li Jing was also played with by Xu Meizi's applause.

After eating, there were no people in the big canteen, so Xu Nannan went back to the office and carried the big parcel into the big canteen.

Thermos, small leather shoes, good materials...

"Where did Nan Nan buy it? This thermos looks really strong." Unlike the plastic case, Xu Nannan deliberately chose an iron case.

"I bought it from the province next door, and happened to happen. I was lucky, and I won't buy it again." Xu Nannan said happily.

Sister-in-law Liao looked at her thermos happily. I weighed it in my hand, um, it worked.

The leather shoes are bought in the mall. They are easy to buy, and they are not inappropriate if they are taken according to the size.

The things I bought were good, and the people in the big canteen were very satisfied. Master Da Du deeply felt that the people in his big canteen had gone out, and it was indeed a good thing.

Jiang Lili watched from the side, curled her lips and said, "What's so great." She slapped her hands, and regardless of whether the work in the kitchen was finished or not, she went straight out.

Sister-in-law Liao curled her lips, "Don't pay attention to her, no one likes her. I heard that her partner's in-laws also have opinions on her."

Xu Nannan was noncommittal. She couldn't figure out why Jiang Lili had to act like someone owed her all day long. What are the benefits.

In the afternoon, the Procurement Division held a welcome party, and Section Chief Xiao didn't know where he got the sour oranges and melon seeds. It was like a tea party.

"First of all, we once again welcome Comrade Xu Nannan to join us. Applause and welcome."

Several people in the office immediately applauded.

Section Chief Xiao pressed his palm with satisfaction. Seeing everyone calm down, he made a detour. This time our Purchasing Department’s task is 30,000 catties of grain. This time we overfulfilled the quota and bought 50,000 catties. The mining committee can’t compare to it. Let's, this time our purchasing department showed up. "

Speaking of this, Section Chief Xiao held a tea cup with a beaming face.

As soon as the voice fell, loud applause sounded.

"This is all thanks to everyone, and Comrade Xu Nannan also played a big role in it. I suggest that Comrade Xu Nannan speak."

Section Chief Xiao glanced at Xu Nannan encouragingly. This child is too honest and needs to be nurtured. Our procurement department didn't counsel anyone. This courage has to be practiced.

No one had any opinions when the new comrades spoke. All encouraged to applaud and let Xu Nannan speak. Sister Liu also pushed Xu Nannan, "Hurry up."

Xu Nannan stood up and smiled shyly, "Thank you comrades for your support and encouragement. The iron ore is our home and the construction depends on everyone. Taking iron ore as our home is the glory of our iron ore people, and I will be firm. Unshakable is the purchase of iron ore and hard work for the construction of iron ore. We will serve the comrade workers in the mine wholeheartedly."

"Okay, Comrade Xu Nannan said it well." Section Chief Xiao applauded with satisfaction.

This kid is still very good at talking, um, it's a manufacturable.

After attending the orientation meeting, Xu Nannan realized that the feeling was really different. The environment that was a bit strange before became familiar.

The people in the office seemed to completely accept her as a new recruit. I won't call her comrades anymore. The older people call her Xiaoxu, and the younger ones call Nan Nan directly.

At this moment, Xu Nannan felt that he really took root in the mine. Get a firm foothold.

From now on, she will be a buyer in the Purchasing Section of Nanjiang Iron Mine.

"Nan Nan, wait a minute." After getting off work in the afternoon, Xu Nannan was happily thinking of going home with Xu Xiaoman at the gate of the mine to see Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu.

Just not far from the office, I was stopped by someone.

Li Jing stood on the side of the road with a haggard look. She was quite smart and did not go to the purchasing department to find someone.

Xu Nannan glanced at her and left directly.

"Don't go, I haven't said anything yet." Li Jing ran over and grabbed her arm, making Xu Nannan feel painful with his strong hands.

She made a profit impatiently, frowning and looking at Li Jing, "What else do you want to do? That house is not mine. It's useless if you go to make trouble."

Li Jing looked straight at her, she didn't speak, her eyes became redder and red, "Woo...I, why did I have such a bitter life and gave birth to you such a scourge."

As she said, she squatted on the ground and started crying, as if she was afraid that Xu Nannan would leave, hand me her trouser legs.

Someone was passing by, watching the situation of the two of them and pointing them.

Xu Nannan felt a little angry. Things have reached the point where they are now. Why doesn't she remember her lesson, she still has to rush forward.

Seeing Li Jing doing this, she took a step back and looked at Li Jing, who was squatting on the ground, "If you cry again, I will go straight away. Who do you want to show this way, and want people to say that I am not filial Do you think we are still a mother-daughter relationship? Or, do you think you have the face to be my mother?"

Li Jing kept crying, as if she was almost crying, stood up tremblingly, wiped her tears, revealing red and swollen eyes.

"Why are you not my daughter, you were conceived in October, and I was disturbed when you were in my belly. I know you blame me for not neglecting you all these years, how do you know that I'm fine? Your milk can't look at me, no Treat me as a human. Your dad is in the mine, and so many young girls are staring at me. As a result, I gave birth to you again, so the old Xu family almost treated me as a brut."

Speaking of what happened back then, Li Jing felt bitter in her heart, feeling that she had never had a good life for a few days in her life.

He was a slave at birth, and after marrying to the old Xu's family, he was still a slave to the old lady.

Now even the girl does not recognize her.

Xu Nannan was not interested in listening to her talk about these things. In the past, few people lived comfortably. With so many parents, I haven't seen people not treating their children as human beings.

"Go ahead, what do you want, I have nothing to say with you."

Li Jing was aggrieved again, "I knew you were an unscrupulous man. I have raised you for so many years without seeing you give me a bite. It is very good for others."

Seeing that Xu Nannan was still indifferent, she was stunned to curse Xu Nannan upright.

"You have seen the situation at home now. Your dad and I took Honghong and Leizi and they squeezed into the ten-square-meter single dormitory. This day can't be passed. I don't ask the whole family to come and live with you. , Let me take Honghong and Lingling to live with you, okay."

"Didn't they tell me, if you go, they won't let me live. Are you trying to drag me down?" Xu Nannan said blankly.

"I don't ask for a room, just build a shed in the yard and open it up." After this incident, she also knew that she was too impatient. If she knew it, she was not so anxious. She moved in first to get things done. I understand, I have a good relationship with the owner, and I will be fine when I slowly get the house.

Li Jing felt very regretful, and Xu Jiansheng didn't care about her anymore. I ran to live in the singles dormitory and stopped sleeping with her.

This will not work.

Xu Nannan didn't believe a word of what she said. Whatever sleeps in a shed will do. If this person really enters the house, don't try to get out.

At that time, it is estimated that everything that is compelling to death will be done. She didn't want to make a fuss.

Looking at Li Jing, she said with a cold face, "Don't talk about a shack, even a place to step on, I won't give it to you. Don't you have so many nephews and nieces, you have the ability to let them find a place to live for you ."

After speaking, regardless of Li Jing's ugly face, he walked past her quickly.

"You dead girl, unfilial daughter, you will be punished sooner or later."

Seeing people just left. Li Jing finally couldn't help cursing.

"Chuck," laughter came from behind, and Li Jing suddenly turned her head to see Zhu Fang covering her mouth and laughing.

Zhu Fang didn't panic when he saw people coming over, and said with a smile, "Auntie Li, you are really right, are you not getting retribution?"

"You—" Li Jing gritted his teeth angrily, but didn't dare to say a word.

Li Jing felt anxious because he didn't get a good deal on Xu Nannan's side, and was scolded by a junior like Zhu Fang. When I returned home and looked at my nephew and niece, I felt bad mood.

Outside the house, Xu Long and Xu Lei were using an old newspaper to make a paper airplane, and in the room, Xu Hong was lying on the bed, looking at a book without knowing what it was.

After looking at the two nephews, they said nothing. When they walked into the room and saw the shell of the melon seeds under Xu Hong's feet, his face was suddenly blue with anger.

"Hong Hong, what are you doing? Why are the melon seed shells littered."

Xu Hong was looking at the manuscript, feeling a little guilty, when Li Jing yelled at him, she was shocked. A little impatiently said, "What's wrong. Isn't it just a little melon seed shell? Just look back and sweep it."

Li Jing smiled angrily, "Sweep, you don't even take the broom before, and still expect you to sweep the floor?"

"Isn't I going to read a book? Is it important to sweep the floor or to read?" Xu Hong said confidently. This maid didn't know a few words, but she didn't know what books she read.

If this was before, Li Jingrenren would have passed. Anyway, if you want to train your nieces to become talents, you must give them time to read. But now after Xu Meizi moved out without conscience, she knew that her niece was unreliable.

Girls are extroverted, and they are all unfamiliar things. How kind to them before, that girl left without leaving home at all. He also said that it would not cause trouble to the family. Who are you lie to? I don’t usually eat at home, and now I don’t live at home, so I don’t want to take care of the house from now on.

Thinking of Xu Meizi, Li Jing was furious. Seeing that Xu Hong was still reading, he immediately walked over and snatched the book in her hand. With both hands, the book was split into two.

Xu Hong was stunned.

Li Jing was also stunned, and the pages of the book in her hand fell to the ground.

"You are crazy!" Xu Hong picked up the book on the ground with distress. This manuscript was given to her by Liu Hongjun and will be returned to others tomorrow. What if it breaks now.

"What are you doing, why are you talking about my book?" Xu Hong shouted angrily.

Li Jing still has a guilty conscience, but the children have been obedient all these years. Now they are still a little emboldened and unhappy. "What's wrong, I am your auntie, why can't I take care of you?"

"Fat big aunt, my milk said, let you serve us with all your heart. If you are not happy, go back to farm!"

Xu Hongqi said nothing.

After scolding, I regretted it again. However, he had already scolded, and it was impossible to take it back, so he could only bite his neck and watch Li Jing.

Anyway, she is backed by her milk.

Outside the house, Xu Long watched the quarrel in the house, a little worried. Xu Lei pulled him, "What do you care about the girl's business."

Xu Long glanced, thinking that Li Jing had beaten Xu Meizi last night, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, and just as if he hadn't heard it, he continued to origami airplane.

In the room, Li Jing's heart became dull, and she was speechless for a while, she could only cover her heart and pant.

"You, you girl scolds me like that, do you still have a conscience?" He cried angrily.

"My milk said it, but I didn't say it." Xu Hong said with a guilty conscience.

"If it weren't for my milk, would you be nice to me? You are the same to Da Ya and Si Ya, and you still treat us sincerely?" Who do you think you are a fool?

Li Jingqi's legs became weak, and she lay down on the bed and cried loudly.

"Why do I have such a hard life, white-eyed wolves, and raised a group of white-eyed wolves, I have a hard life, God, why make me so hard—"

Xu Hong was impatient to listen to her business, and simply took the book and went to look for Xu Meizi outside the house.

The single dormitories are all connected together. Everyone can hear anything in someone's house.

Li Jing was crying loudly, and she was listening to the trouble in the dormitory, because yesterday Xu Meizi and Li Jing had a trouble, thinking it was another trouble, and she felt even more upset.

In these three days, when will I be calmer.

Someone couldn't help but went directly to the mining committee to file a complaint.

Zhu Fang sat in the dormitory gnawing on the apple, licking, with a smile on his face. Look at this one out, how lively it is. Well, I have to talk to Nan Nan about this tomorrow.

Xu Nannan was carrying things and entering the door of Yu Donglai's house with Xu Xiaoman.

Grandma Yu has been getting better recently, and she opened the door this time. Seeing Xu Nannan carrying so many things in his hands, he complained on his face, "Nannan, you can come to the house. You are not outsiders to buy anything."

They came here to buy things before, they are very rare for this kind of intention. But now I am my family, and I feel distressed.

Xu Nannan smiled and put the things on the table, "It's okay, I also spared some things this time on business trip."

Grandma Yu knows that this child is capable, and before she knows them, she can sell nourishment products. There is a way. But I was still worried, "Don't do this in the future, we don't need money. Grandpa Yu and I both have wages."

Yu Donglai cut the fruit from the kitchen and put it on the table. "Don't take it anymore. You can work hard. Don't delay things in the mine. You can also bring it back from the outside if you want to eat. Don't take risks."

Becoming my own child, I can't help but worry more.

Xu Nannan also felt this change, but he didn't feel bad, "It's okay, I bought it all honestly. Besides, there is still a way to buy things first. As long as you eat. Okay, just eat and have fun."

"Happy, I'm happy." Grandma Yu said repeatedly. It's nice to look at the two children.

Xu Xiaoman lowered his head shyly, not daring to look at people.

My sister said that Grandma Yu would be her own grandmother in the future, and she didn't know if it was true.

Seeing Xu Xiaoman's shyness, Grandma Yu beckoned her to pass and picked up a piece of fruit for her, "Xiao Man, why don't you speak?"

Xu Xiaoman glanced at Xu Nannan, then at Grandma Yu, and hesitated, "Sister said...You and Grandpa Yu will be our grandparents in the future."

Grandma Yu had a meal, and Grandpa Yu also sat over and asked, "Does Xiaoman like it?"

"Like!" Xu Xiaoman nodded heavily. "Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu are good."

The two knew that Xu Xiaoman was a sincere person, not a sweet-mouthed person, and that said, that was what they thought in their hearts, and their hearts became more and more happy.

After laughing for a while, Yu Donglai looked at Xu Nannan, "Nannan, let's leave this form when you see the holiday. The transfer of ownership should be done as soon as possible. I will go to the neighborhood committee to prove that you will have to. Go back to the countryside and transfer Xiaoman's hukou out."

Grandma Yu said, "We still have to set up a table and invite the old people in the factory to come over for a meal, and we will recognize people in the future."

At the very least, let people know that it is a matter of course for the two children to live in the house, and they should not make trouble in the future.

She is still worried that in the future, she and Lao Yu will be gone and someone will bully the two children.

Grandpa Yu thought about this too, "It's time to ask, we will set up a table when the transfer is over."

"Let's do it in our house, it's spacious. I'll cook at that time." Xu Nannan said. Before the two elders could speak, she said again, "After the meeting is held, you can move in and live with us. The house is spacious and you can live in it."

The two elders of the Yu family were taken aback, Yu Donglai looked at Grandma Yu, and wanted to wait for her reply.

Grandma Yu looked around the house, then looked at the photo of her son in the house and wiped her tears.

"We've lived in this house for so many years, so it's time to let someone live in it."

Hearing what Grandma Yu said, Xu Nannan knew it was a promise, and smiled with two small dimples, "Xiao Man and I will clean up the house first, and wait for you to live directly."

"Okay, we're just waiting to enjoy the blessing." Grandma Yu touched the corner of her eyes, feeling warm in her eyes, and staring at her son's photo again.

Son, don't you worry about your parents and arranged for these two children to come.

Xu Nannan also plans to let the two elders of the Yu family follow her to enjoy the blessing, and she will enjoy the blessing first. Before she could go out the next morning, Grandma Yu came over with steamed buns and rice porridge.

I am worried that the two children will be hungry when they don't have time to cook.

Xu Nannan looked at the things that grandma Yu brought, and his heart suddenly became mixed.

What she envied the most was that some of her classmates delivered meals. I also complained about the bad food at home. But I don't know that some people can't even eat unpalatable family meals.

I didn't thank you either, and I ate the buns that were too grandma's, and ate them on the small table in the yard. After eating two bites, she smiled and looked at grandma. "Milk, this bun is delicious."

Grandma Yu was taken aback, her lips trembled twice before she narrowed her eyes and said, "If it is delicious, I will make it for you in a hurry."

For the first time in two lifetimes, Xu Nannan's appetite increased when he ate breakfast made by his family, and he and Xu Xiaoman ate the steamed buns and porridge cleanly.

"Sister, let's make milk buns anytime."

Just after hearing Xu Nannan changed her mouth, she also changed her mouth. It doesn't feel awkward to scream.

Xu Nannan pursed his mouth and smiled, "There will be more opportunities in the future, not only making buns, but also making dumplings and making soup...Your sister, I have good craftsmanship."

When Xu Xiaoman heard it, he chirped again.

Arriving at the mine early in the morning, Zhu Fang saw Xu Nannan passing by from the office of the mining committee, and ran over several times to pass on the gossip to her.

Xu Nannan was not interested in the Xu family's affairs at all, but Zhu Fang was happy to say it, and she also listened carefully.

At the end, Zhu Fang took a breath, "Everyone didn't sleep well last night, but Director Xu said something in the past and didn't cry anymore. At night, the cries were also infiltrating. Both Gang Li, mine manager, etc. I went to Director Xu just for the complaint. It’s really ugly for you to talk about it."

The two were still talking. Xu Jiansheng came out of the office of the Mining Committee, and when he saw Xu Nannan, he immediately turned his head and walked away.

Xu Jiansheng didn't return to the house, but went to the dormitory.

Li Jing's two eyes were swollen like big walnuts, and when he saw him coming, she still felt a bit resentful.

With such a big deal at home, he just left as a big man, and he didn't care about it.

Xu Jiansheng took out a cigarette and sat on the edge of the bed without coaxing her. When Li Jing couldn't hold it a little bit, he said, "You clean up, we will go back to my hometown in two days."

Li Jing suddenly felt tight, "What are you going back to do? I won't go back." If you let the old lady know about this, she will definitely not be spared.

"Aren't you disgusting that this place is too crowded? Go back to my hometown. The place is spacious."
