Chapter 36 Spring Festival Overture II

In front is the place to buy fruit. There are five or six shops in a row, and there is no counter inside. All the fruits, apples, pears, oranges, are piled up in bags. Outside the shop, there were boxes of fruit, and an acquaintance was picking them there. Mei Qiuping went up to ask him if he had seen Feng Zhenchang, and said that Feng Zhenchang was going to the fish seller.

Going forward, there are piles of red peppers like a hill. It seems to be very authentic peppers. Because it smells very spicy, many people around are choked and sneeze.

The place where the fish is sold also occupies a large area. The ponds with a diameter of two or three meters are encircled on the ground with rubber sheets, covered with plastic paper and filled with water.

I didn't see Feng Zhenchang here either. Feng Yiping thought about it and dragged Mei Qiuping to the bazaar. Sure enough, in front of another clothes stall, Mei Jianzhong and Feng Zhenchang squatted there smoking, and Mei Yiliang and the boss went to the market. Bought clothes are being packed.

Mei Qiuping was about to speak, but Mei Jianzhong interrupted him, "Don't say anything, Qiuping and I will go buy sugar, melon seeds, biscuits, firecrackers, Zhenchang, you and Yiliang will buy other things, Yiping , you carry these clothes and wait for us at the parking lot."

Feng Yiping carried two large bags of clothes and walked back with difficulty. The four adults were divided into two groups. Mei Yiliang lit a cigarette for Feng Zhenchang, "Brother, you don't have to be angry, it's not like you don't know about my sister's temper for so many years, you can't change it after saying it so many times, what can you do, you can only bear it for a while, you It's a man! The quarrel between husband and wife, is it really necessary to divide the winner and loser?"

Feng Zhenchang said, "I don't even want to mention it. You know your sister's temper. I endured it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. At the end of the year, she still made a big fuss in front of so many people. How can I bear it?"

Mei Jianzhong was also talking about Mei Qiuping, "You don't need to say anything, I'll just ask you, why are you so disregarding your man's face? No matter how reasonable you are, in the public eye, you want to lose your temper like that? Where does he put his face? Do you look good on your face like this? How many times have I told you, why don't you change it?"

Mei Qiuping defended, "It's so expensive and not tasty, so I said he shouldn't buy it."

Mei Jianzhong said, "Then we have to make trouble in that kind of place during this big New Year's Day? You are not ashamed, but I think it is ugly. I am afraid that many people will point and point behind my back these two days. Yes, say I have raised a very pungent daughter."

Mei Qiuping was so angry that she held back and said nothing.

Feng Yiping knew that this matter, for most people, was nothing at all, but when it comes to the two parents, it must be the father who said that the public is right, and the mother that the mother is reasonable, and it is not clear at all.

Fortunately, my grandfather was still there, so he could hold down the two of them.

The mutton seller was right, everyone was happy for the Chinese New Year, so next time, even if they were still angry, Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping still sent back bags of New Year's goods. All piled up in front of Feng Yiping, and then went back to buy other things.

Mei Qiuping also grabbed a lot of candy and biscuits and stuffed them into his pocket. Feng Yiping was not very interested in these, so he found melon seeds and sat on the bag of apples while nibbling and looking around. Well, no matter how many things are in their hands, the people who come and go have smiles on their faces, and they are all happy, like their parents, which is really rare.

Looking at the two girls holding hands, he paused for two more seconds, yeah, one of them seemed to have a familiar face, and the girl had already called out, "Feng Yiping."

Oh, it turned out to be Huang Jingping, he clapped his hands and greeted him, "I'm here to organize the New Year's goods too."

"Yes, these are yours."

"Yeah, come, eat candy." Feng Yiping handed them the candy in his pocket, and the long-haired girl next to him smiled, "Why do you seem to treat us like children."

"Feng Yiping, he did well in the exam, and he did well in the New Year's Eve." said a person next to him.

Feng Yiping took a look, I went, standing next to Huang Jingping and the others, holding a few sacks in their hands, wasn't it Huang Jingping's second uncle, Mr. Huang, who teaches politics, why didn't you notice it just now? ?

"Mr. Huang is good. It's not that I did well in the exam, but mainly that you taught well." He flattered smoothly.

The three people over there laughed. Feng Yiping ran into the pile of New Year's goods, pulled out a cigarette, and was swimming. Feng Zhenchang bought it for the first lunar month and handed it to Teacher Huang, "Mr. Huang, I didn't expect to meet you here. , it’s time to give you New Year’s greetings, please accept this cigarette, it’s not a good cigarette, I would like to represent a little bit of my heart.”

When he said this, Huang Jingping and the girl felt amused again. As for Mr. Huang, of course he knew Feng Yiping and knew that he had good grades, but he had no personal friends at school.

At this time, the teacher was not like the later teachers. He accepted the gifts from the students with integrity. Even if he didn't receive the gifts when he should have received the gifts, he would get angry and use excuses to rectify the students. Therefore, Teacher Huang is now a little hesitant.

At this time, the long-haired girl said, "Dad, what he said was so sincere, just accept it."

Feng Yiping said smoothly, "So this is the junior sister, the junior sister said so, Mr. Huang, you should accept it, right? Huang Jingping?"

Huang Jingping looked at him with a smile, "Second uncle, just accept it."

Teacher Huang took the cigarette and said, "Then thank you, teacher. This is better than the big cock I usually smoke. Say hello to your parents for me."

Maybe not at school, Huang Jingping is much more cheerful and lively, "Feng Yiping, do you still have this kind of fudge, it's delicious, where did you buy it?"

Feng Yiping smiled and brought the bag of candy over, "I don't know where I bought it. I didn't buy it. I'm only responsible for looking at things here. There are more here, you can take them."

Huang Jingping and Junior Sister Huang each picked a few, "Okay, let's find it ourselves, thank you, goodbye."

Mr. Huang nodded to him and instructed him, "Be careful when you're alone." She squeezed two girls into the bustling crowd.

After lunch time, I finally bought all the New Year's goods, but I still can't bear to eat on the street, even if I buy a few oil cakes, Mei Qiuping is not willing, "I'll go home soon, what are you doing with this money?"

This time, there was a lot of stuff, and it was not easy to carry it home, so I spent five yuan to call a tricycle, bring people and stuff, and send it back to Meijiawan.

When I got home, my uncle's house had already eaten lunch, and Mei Qiuping smashed a large pot of noodles with a knife. She was hungry, and the five people gathered around, chattering, and ate everything in a while.

After eating for a while, Mei Yiliang helped pick out two big bags and returned to Wutangyuan all the way. Along the way, he met several groups of people who went to the town, and caught up with several groups who came back from the town. The parents greeted them warmly, but there was not a word between them.

When they got home, the two houses next door greeted them, and Feng Weidong came over to help take the bag from Mei Yiliang's hand, "When you get here, you are a guest. Give it to me."

His wife also came over to see, "Uncle, aunt, it seems that this year is a big turnaround, buying such things."

Feng Jiasheng's wife also said, "Yeah, you are afraid to move the whole street back."

In this case, Mei Qiuping knew how to deal with it, "Hey, it's all worthless things, unlike you, they all buy expensive things. The house is in a mess right now. When I clean it up, you guys come and sit down."

Returning to the long-lost home, he set the fire in the fire pond and boiled a pot of water. Mei Yiliang drank two cups of tea, then got up and left. Mei Qiuping wanted to keep him overnight. Mahjong, come up again during Chinese New Year.

As soon as Mei Yiliang left, the family suddenly fell silent. It was a cold war. Feng Yiping had experienced such a situation many times, and he had long been accustomed to it.

Mei Qiuping is sorting out the things she bought, putting them away when they leave, and finding out what they need now. Feng Zhenchang sat in the innermost place, which was also the place with the most smoke, squinting his eyes as if he was sleeping. Feng Yiping simply hugged the washboard and started winter vacation homework on it.

I heard that they came back, and people came to the door one after another in the afternoon. A few came to collect the bills. Feng Zhenchang matched the bills with them and paid off the money on the spot. Those few were very happy and said, "It seems that Uncle has made a lot of money outside."

Feng Zhenchang said, "It's really unreasonable to owe you for so long. No matter what, I can't delay the money I owe you, so I have to go out and find a way. How can I make a lot of money? It's better than farming at home. It’s hard-earned money.”

There are also a number of families who killed the New Year pig and came to invite Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping to dinner. The custom in the school is that if you kill a pig, you will always invite someone from the same room and someone you know to eat. So after entering the twelfth lunar month, I often go to your house for dinner today, you come to my house for dinner tomorrow, and go to his house for dinner the day after.

In the afternoon, I heard that they had come back, and the second uncle brought Dongming over to bring the more than 20 kilograms of meat, and also asked Feng Yiping's family to go home for dinner.

I had two dishes for dinner, stir-fried pork with peppers, and fried carrots with meat. The portions were very generous. Feng Zhenchang ate very fast today. He only drank a glass of white wine, ate a la carte, but didn't eat, and then took the money and the ledger. out.

This is also the first time in the past few years that he has taken the initiative to pay back the money at the end of the year.

In the evening, Feng Yiping slept early, and when he heard the door slam, it was already very late. He sounded as if someone had brought Feng Zhenchang to the door, and when he heard Feng Zhenchang's words and his footsteps, he seemed to be drunk. Feng Yiping heard his mother get up to help him, and Feng Zhenchang said there, "I'm not drunk, you don't need to help him."

On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Feng Zhenchang was still running outside. He was particularly motivated these two days. Although he was paying his debts, he was always in high spirits.

Feng Yiping and his mother cleaned the house, inside and out, the corners and corners, including the yang dust on the walls and roofs, were all cleaned up. Take out all the pots, pans, pans, chopsticks, and spoons, and wash them carefully one by one.

At the age of twenty-eight, Feng Zhenchang finally paid off his debts. It could be seen that his parents breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.

During dinner in the evening, Mei Qiuping said, "I finally paid all the bills. I feel that my waist has straightened a bit. I have to thank you for this, son."

Feng Zhenchang was drinking a small wine, but he smiled and said to Feng Yiping, "Yiping, you are not bad."

Feng Yiping suddenly had mixed feelings!

This is the first time that his father praised him in person. Even when Feng Yiping finally made some foundations later, his father never praised him in person. Of course, in front of others, Feng Zhenchang may have praised his son, but in person, this is definitely the first time in history.

As far back as I can remember, Feng Zhenchang seldom smiled at Feng Yiping. Maybe it was because the days were not smooth and Feng Zhenchang was less happy.

In a word, Feng Zhenchang, who was born before liberation, is an old-fashioned father. The feudal parents have a lot of style and are very strict with their sons.

Feng Yiping sometimes felt that his father treated him a lot like the boss of the company. If you do well, that's what you should do, don't expect praise and affirmation, and don't expect rewards. If he did not do well, he never paid attention to whether there were other objective reasons, and he must be severely criticized or even punished.

Later, Feng Yiping took Zhang Yan and his son for a walk after dinner, and heard the conversation between the two. When he saw it, Feng Yiping was a little hesitant, not sure if the two were father and son. Mainly because the dialogue between them is very different from the dialogue between father and son that Feng Yiping is familiar with.

The two walked side by side, talking loudly, and the son was very happy, "I only want twenty, but you give me fifty. How can you be so kind to me?"

Dad was also smiling, "Of course I'm nice to you, because you're my son."

The son happily put his arms on his father's shoulders, "Dad, you are so kind! I love you so much!"

To be honest, at that moment, Feng Yiping envied the father and son, especially the son. He envied the equality and love between them.

Feng Yiping didn't have such extravagant hopes of being reborn again. With the education Feng Zhenchang received and the edification he received from a young age, it was rare and difficult to be able to praise him with a smile like he is today.
