At nine o'clock in the evening, long Jianhua returned to the courtyard. He opened the door and asked the driver to go back after moving four small wooden boxes into the gate with the driver; After tying the door, he held the four wooden boxes together and came to the inner yard and shouted Yuehua to open the door.
The first one who rushed out was Yuehe. She opened the door and shouted, "brother, you look very handsome on TV... Wow, what are you holding? Let me help you. "
Run out and take away the upper layer as soon as you come up... The lightest one.
Long Jianhua joked, "your luck is really good. Take the lightest one."
She giggled, "no matter light or heavy, it's help anyway."
He replied, "in fact, I just want you to open the door, but I don't want you to help with it. You're too positive."
My mother leaned out and saw him holding three boxes. She wondered, "what did you buy back?"
He replied, "it's the carvings."
My mother reached out and took one. "Your uncle and grandpa came and left half an hour ago."
Long Jianhua put the box down. "Is it something or come for a walk?"
Grandma smiled, "he just came to have a look and chat. I came by bus. I want Yuehua to drive him back. Your grandpa went with me. "
Long Jianhua smiled.
That is, in this era, the deputy department took the bus to visit relatives and friends.
Seeing that Yuehe went to the next room to start his homework, he stood behind her and looked at it for a while, and then moved all the boxes to his room.
When Grandpa and Yuehua came home, Yuehe's homework was just finished. Yuehua called her home.
Long Jianhua turned to look at her. "Anyway, your uncle and aunt are not at home. You'll sleep here. I'll take you to school tomorrow."
Yuehe immediately applauded, "I agree!"
Yuehua said with a smile, "I have a brother to send you to school. Of course you agree."
Long Jianhua said with a smile, "it seems that Yuehe wants me to drive you to school."
Yuehe giggled, "in fact, it's OK to walk with me. Let my classmates see that I have such a handsome brother. "
Long Jianhua rubbed her head.
At this time, children have different ideas.
After sending them to school the next day, he went back to the quadrangle and moved out all the carvings he took back yesterday for his grandparents and mother to appreciate.
Seeing the three large sculptures, the three people were full of praise, especially grandma, "these can be used as heirlooms."
Grandpa said slowly, "there are so many original stones in the sand cuckoo, which can become a family heirloom. The family heirloom is not worth money... Jianhua, we brought two jade cabbages. How do you want to send them?"
"You must send one cabbage, and then choose one of the three. Just two. "
My mother laughed, "Liu's cabbage was arched by you. It was right to return one in the past."
Long Jianhua smiled foolishly.
Grandma looked at her suspiciously and smiled, purring, "I don't know what's funny about sending a cabbage. Jianhua, your mother is crazy. Leave her alone. "
Mom's laughter grew louder and grandma began to laugh.
Grandpa opened the small boxes. "Are these what you're going to send this time?"
Long Jianhua scratched his head. "Things are good things. Now everyone doesn't wear these. I don't know whether they are suitable or not."
Grandpa said faintly, "it takes a lot of brains to give gifts at your level. If you want money, you can send a car if you want a car, and you can send a house if you want a house; But the key is that the times are limited here, especially in their family. They can't publicize and have a bad impact on their family. "
Long Jianhua agrees with him.
After a pause, Grandpa said faintly, "let me see. Add these three pieces to a jade cabbage. The money is still $100000 for each family, and $200000 for Grandpa, grandma and grandma respectively. I think you've got the quilt cover and cloth ready, too. That's good. This way is not only low-key, the weight is in line with your identity, but also combines tradition and modernity. "
Grandma and mom laughed almost and agreed with Grandpa.
So the engagement gift was settled
In the next two days, the Beijing office sent things here twice, and he immediately sent some to Liu Zhifei's house.
On the afternoon of the 31st, he pickled some vegetables and made some preparations at her house. When Liu Zhifei wanted to go to Shichahai with him in the evening, she was held by her future mother-in-law. Long Jianhua could only "hate" in her "bitter" eyes.
The next day, January 1, 1984, long Jianhua got up at six as usual and began to exercise in the yard. Within an hour, he heard Yuehe knocking on the door and shouting, "brother, open the door!"
She giggled when she saw him standing at the door looking out in white fog in his sportswear. My sister is exercising at home, my mother is making breakfast, and I came running alone. "
When she saw grandma busy in the kitchen, she immediately shouted, "grandma, add another bowl of water. I want to drink porridge."
Grandma smiled, "we each save a mouthful and a bowl of porridge is saved. Do we need more water? It's a coincidence that you came today. Your eldest sister brought some shrimp dumplings yesterday, enough for your greedy cat. "
Yuehe immediately ran to the house, "I called my sister and asked her to come and eat too. Brother, I'll exercise with you later. "
Looking at Yuehe who spoke quickly and ran in, long Jianhua shook his head, but felt very warm.
A family needs stable adults and innocent children, which is the real happiness of family.
At eight o'clock, the family had just filled porridge for breakfast. Liu Zhifei came in with a smile and said hello to her elders. The family quickly asked her to sit down.
Grandma asked, "Feifei, have you eaten?"
My mother took her and sat next to long Jianhua, "I want to eat a little. Young people, if you cross the threshold, you can have another bowl. "
Dad said slowly, "even if I didn't eat, I'm sorry to eat when you say so."
Mom laughed, "yes. Jianhua, what are you doing? Go get the dishes and chopsticks. "
Liu Zhifei looked at him with a smile and hurriedly said, "I didn't go out until I ate."
Yun Yan said with a smile, "the shrimp dumplings I brought back yesterday. If you don't eat it, it will take some time to eat it. "
Yuehe giggled, "just use a set of dishes and chopsticks for my sister-in-law and brother."
Grandma laughed and scolded, "you child."
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhifei nodded, "I can eat two shrimp dumplings with Huage's chopsticks."
A eater doesn't care so much.
Long Jianhua finally brought her a set of dishes and chopsticks, and everyone sat down to eat.
The reason why she came here was that her aunt and father-in-law, aunt and father-in-law had arrived and said they wanted to help him, but she was stopped by her mother and old lady. She was a little worried.
Grandma asked with great concern, "Jianhua, is it OK? Don't have no food until two o'clock in the afternoon, then you'll make a fool of yourself."
Long Jianhua said with a smile, "from 12:00 to 12:10, make sure everyone can eat. Everything is under control. "
