Chapter 70: Strange Talks
After all, Cheng Wenge is fifteen years old and must have some vanity. If he brings so many crayfish to the canteen of the joint transportation company, everyone who eats them will definitely praise them endlessly.
At that time, he could proudly tell everyone that these crayfish were given by his best friend, and it was definitely a sign of honor for Beier.
The more Cheng Wenge rides, the happier he becomes. He laughs and sings all the way. Now he likes to sing "In That Faraway Place" the most.
Since he taught his classmates how to sing "Return from Target Shooting" for several days in a row, Cheng Wenge's self-confidence was enhanced. This time, when the students heard him singing "In That Faraway Place", many of them clamored to learn it.
Cheng Wenge no longer acted coyly, but generously used his time between classes to teach sentence by sentence. He also imitated Huang Han and copied the lyrics and gave them to his classmates.
When I arrived at the canteen of the joint transportation company, I found twelve people sitting around a large round table. Except for Cheng’s mother, the others were probably drivers who were leaving for Shanghai after dinner.
There are a lot of drunk drivers during this period, there are very few traffic police on the road, and basically no one catches drunk driving.
Dad Cheng took two bottles of Sanshui grain wine and just told his drivers not to get too drunk. Not only did he not stop the drivers who started driving on the road from drinking, he also drank two ounces of it himself.
After the meal started, all the pilots exclaimed that the crayfish was so spicy and praised Cheng Wenge for his ability to prepare such a delicious dish for everyone.
Dad Cheng was very happy, and because he drank some wine, he became excited and talked more.
He not only told his colleagues that the Chinese and mathematics scores of Chengwenge's mid-term exam all exceeded 70 points, improving by seven places, but he also told everyone that his son's essay got an excellent grade and was selected by the class teacher to be a model essay to read to the classmates in class.
In the past, when Captain Cheng heard people mentioning his children's grades, he would sigh and drink. Today, he actually took the initiative to talk about Cheng Wen Ge's academic performance. Of course his colleagues knew that Cheng Wen Ge had made great progress.
Cheng Wenge has gained self-confidence, and has changed from the timid appearance in the past where he had low self-esteem and always didn't like to speak in front of people. Today, he has no stage fright at all. Not only does he answer all questions, but he also offers to sing a song for everyone, as a tribute to his father and his wife.
All the uncles saw him off.
When the father watched his generous son sing "In That Faraway Place" with great affection, he couldn't hold back and burst into tears with excitement...
Dad Cheng was happy that his son had such a long face. He picked up the bottle and was about to drink another two taels, but found that his son was holding the mouth of the bottle and said with concern: "Dad, drinking too much wine is harmful to your health and affects your driving. I like it."
Seeing that mom and dad are healthy."
Cheng Wenge just heard Huang Han say this in the afternoon, and blurted it out at this moment.
Dad Cheng was shocked. His son, who was not good at words, had never said such heart-warming words before!
He was so excited that his throat choked up for a while. After a while, he nodded seriously and said: "You are right, wine is not a good thing. Dad won't drink it anymore."
Then he laughed and said to his apprentices and colleagues: "We are all people with children and we all want to be healthy. Can we stop drinking here?"
Cheng's mother, whose face was filled with tears of happiness, smiled. She put away most of the remaining bottle of wine and said, "That's how it should be. I'll keep this wine for you to drink when you come back from a business trip!"
The other drivers also agreed, and a young driver opened a pack of "Grand Canal" cigarettes and distributed one to everyone.
This is a good cigarette, second only to "Daqianmen". It costs 33 cents a pack with a cigarette ticket. Under normal circumstances, commune cadres are reluctant to smoke such good cigarettes. They all smoke "Pegasus" which costs 27 cents a pack.
”.
This shows that drivers really belong to the high-income group at this time.
"Crack..." The unique smell of matches filled the air, and the wine table was suddenly covered with mist...
Huang Han didn't know that Cheng Wenge was making a big splash in the joint transportation company cafeteria today.
He divided the remaining crayfish among his neighbors Liu Xiaoming, Xiao Qiang, Li Mei's family, Zhang family, Liu family, and Xu family. He only kept half a bowl of crayfish for his own family, which should be less than a pound.
The family had a good meal at noon. Zhang Fangfen stewed a large pot of turtle soup and gave it to Grandpa. There was still a lot in the pot.
Zhang Fangfen did not know where she heard the baseless words, saying that little girls should not eat soft-shelled turtles.
Huang Han remembers a lot of similar strange stories, such as children not allowed to eat fish roe, otherwise they won't be able to count.
The piece of meat on the face of the fish is called "stupid meat". Children should not eat it, as it will make them stupid. There is a part in the chicken internal organs called "sewing bag". If girls eat it, they will be smart...
Huang Han didn't believe it when he was a child, but he never refuted it. But today at noon, he saw the little girl eagerly looking at the turtle soup, and he argued hard.
The final result was that everyone drank a small bowl of turtle soup.
It's really inconvenient not to have a refrigerator. The weather is hot and I have to drink up all the remaining turtle soup at night. It will definitely go bad tomorrow.
To be honest, Huang Han actually doesn't want his family to eat more crayfish. The food must be cooked with strong taste. Crayfish are scavengers and are really dirty. Eating more of them is useless.
Since he has eaten well during this period and seems to have kept up with his nutrition, it is no longer difficult for Huang Han to follow Huang Xin when he runs in the morning, but he doesn't know if he has grown taller.
But he could clearly see that the complexion on his sister's face had improved a lot, and the little girl's face had a slight blush.
We had to sell tea eggs in the evening, and it was really inconvenient for Huang Daozhou to be away from home, because one hundred and fifty tea eggs plus aluminum pot, "rice cover" and soup weighed more than 25 kilograms. It was really not easy to transport without a bicycle.
Zhang Fangfen refused Huang Han to use excessive force. She had her own theory, saying that boys should never use "dumb strength" if the "big egg" falls and they will never recover, and they won't even be able to find a wife.
Huang Han looked at his crotch and couldn't figure out how hard force would cause the penis to fall off. He thought there was no scientific reason for it. However, Zhang Fangfen took this issue very seriously and there was no doubt about it.
No way, originally Huang Han wanted Zhang Fangfen to rest at home, while he and Huang Xin carried the rice cover to the streets. Unfortunately, they couldn't overcome the mother's love for her son, so she had to carry the "rice cover" to him on the street.
While walking on the road, Huang Han said: "Mom, you don't have to wait there. There will only be soup in the pot when you come back. We can take it."
"Yeah! The dishes at home haven't been washed and the table has not been cleared yet. I'll drop you off and go home."
"Mom, do you still have some clothes on hand to make?"
"It's not much. If you don't need it urgently, you don't have to rush the work. You can just do it in your spare time."
"It's better not to do it in the future. It's too hard and you won't make much money."
"I know, we have been regular customers for more than ten years, so it would not be good to come back all of a sudden."
Zhang Fangfen is happy. In the past, she was always worried about not being able to get jobs, not making money, and not being able to support the family. Now she has pushed her sewing work to other places.
"Mom, have you seen my 'backpack'?"
“Very good, very solid.”
"Did you know that when children carry this kind of bag, because both shoulders are stressed at the same time, it better avoids the imbalance caused by frequent stress on one shoulder, which is conducive to physical development."
"This statement is very new, is it true?"
"It's pure gold. Mom, I want to find some 'labour cloth'. When our sewing machine gets home, you can help my sister make a 'backpack' too."
"Okay! I will have plenty of time in the future, so of course I will make clothes and schoolbags for you."
Huang Xin asked: "Mom, can you use labor cloth to make a 'backpack' exactly like Huang Han's?"
"What's the point? Of course!"
"That's great. If I go to school wearing a backpack, I don't know how many classmates will be jealous."
Huang Han wondered: "Are you so optimistic about the 'backpack'?"
"The one you made is already good."
"Ah? You told me earlier! I will carry it to school for you tomorrow morning."
"No, no, didn't you just say that carrying a 'backpack' is good for development?"
"Development is more important for girls. Besides, I am picked up and dropped off by Chengwen Pavilion every day. It doesn't matter whether I carry a schoolbag or not."
"Then I will really carry your "backpack" to school tomorrow?"
"Of course it's true, sister, just tell me what you like in the future, and I will definitely be able to think of a way to satisfy you."
"Well! I know you are sincerely good to me, and I am already very satisfied."
Xiaoqian shouted: "Brother, I will go to school soon, and I also want a 'backpack'."
"Where can I miss you?"
"Really? Brother is the best!"
