On the 23rd day of the 1976th, the 23rd day of the 19th day of the 19th century.

He family yard, backyard living room.

Because there were no outsiders, He Yuzhu directly asked everyone to come to the backyard to have dinner together.

At the dinner table, everyone raised their glasses together, including He Xiao and He Xi, two children, who also raised their glasses and clinked glasses with everyone.

Of course, the two children, Wang Qian and an aunt's cup were all fresh fruit-squeezed juices chosen by He Yuzhu.

There is no need to be without wine on the table. Today I am not drinking Moutai, but a bottle of Wuliangye that has been there for two years. Originally, He Yuzhu had the Moutai liquor at the beginning, but He Daqing said he drank too much yesterday and wanted to change his taste.

In fact, He Daqing and Yi Zhonghai both felt sorry for money. Although they knew that their family still had a lot of money, they had no income on the surface and had to save some money.

In addition to wine, today's meals were hearty, including stewed chickens, braised goose, braised pork, steamed sea bass, and various dishes, each with a full range of colors, aroma and flavor.

I have to say that whether it is He Yuzhu’s fried or He Daqing’s cooked, it is very delicious.

After these days of getting along, He Yuzhu did not reject He Daqing very much, and He Daqing also understood the right way. In short, the family is very harmonious now.

After a meal, He He Yuzhu accompanied Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing to drink tea and watch TV. Wang Qian also accompanied an aunt to help clean up the bowl quickly. As for He Xiao and He Xi, of course, they were eating fruits and playing games.

.

It is rare to celebrate the New Year, and dumplings are naturally indispensable, so midnight snacks are pure meat dumplings.

A sumptuous dinner and late-night dumplings have become the tradition of the He family, and everyone has gotten used to it.

After eating the dumplings, everyone sat for a while, and it was almost time to go to bed.

Early the next morning, He Yuzhu got up and prepared dinner, and caught He Xiao, who had not practiced boxing for a few days, until Wang Qian and everyone got up, and everyone finished breakfast together.

After dinner, the old man and He Daqing were about to take an aunt out for fun and play chess when they came back. As for Wang Qian, she needed to go to her mother-in-law's house to help prepare what she needed for the Guoquan wedding.

He Yuzhu was not idle either, so he rode his bike out.

Next to Pigeon City, in Ma San's room.

He Yuzhu changed into an old ghost and came here again. As soon as he came in, he saw Ma San with a smile and said, "Sir, you are here."

Seeing him like this, He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, and then the two walked into the room and heard Ma San continue saying: "Sir, I have found ten people. In a few days, I will be able to find enough people."

"Yes, keep recruiting people. By the way, there is an address on it. You go and negotiate with the other party. Remember, don't expose your identity." He Yuzhu wrote the address Li Guowei said on paper and handed it to Ma San.

After taking it, he saw a list on it. After reading it, Ma San nodded and said respectfully: "Don't worry, sir, this is my old job, I will handle it well.

But should we collect the money first, or should we pay the money and deliver the goods at the same time?"

"Take money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. This person is an old acquaintance and can be trusted, but the people he comes into contact with are all high-ranking officials and nobles, and I don't want to have direct contact with him." He Yuzhu explained briefly.

After he said this, Ma San immediately understood that if you are in their career, you are not afraid of others, but you are afraid of those with real power. Once the other party turns against you, you are likely to get yourself in.

Ma San had such experience before, and as long as he was careful, it would not be a problem.

"By the way, I'll give you another task. We need a place to put things in. These days, you will find a warehouse in Sijiu City. The venue should be larger. Try to choose a slightly remote place that can be used for supplies in the future.

The place to transfer." He Yuzhu thought for a while and said this.

"Is the warehouse? Don't worry, sir, you can find it the day after tomorrow." Ma San nodded and responded.

"Well, this is 20,000 yuan. You can keep it first. If someone is doing things under your command, don't treat them badly.

But you have to be careful. If you really have to be traitors, don’t show mercy. Although it is not as strong as in the past few years, there are still people who are watching it specifically." He Yuzhu reminded again.

"Okay, sir, I've recorded it."

Taking the money, Ma San said seriously.

After saying that, He Yuzhu stood up, then looked at Ma San and said, "You go and contact the other party first and solve this matter. He must be anxious and hurry up and negotiate. You should also take the matter of the venue to heart.

”

"I will hold on, sir."

After Ma San woke up, He Yuzhu left, and then he went directly to the woods next to him, changed his outfit and left from another direction.

Half an hour later, he came to the door of Wang's house, put down the two sacks on the back seat of the bicycle, and then pushed the bicycle into the yard.

Then he turned around and came back, carrying a sack in one hand and directly carried it into the Wang family's living room.

"Husband, why are you here?"

There was no one in the living room, but Wang Qian had a good ear and immediately walked out of the bedroom.

"Didn't I promised my parents yesterday that I would be responsible for the melon seeds and peanuts that Guoquan needs to use for marriage? Today, I happened to have time and went to my friend's place to drag it back.

Eighty kilograms of melon seeds and peanuts each should be enough, right?”

He Yuzhu said with a smile while placing the sack on the ground.

"Enough is enough, you can sit and rest for a while, and I'll pour you tea."

Wang Qian glanced at the two sacks, then asked He Yuzhu to sit and rest, and then helped pour tea.

After taking a sip, He Yuzhu saw that there was only Wang Qian at home, so he asked with a smile: "Where are parents and the others? Why aren't they at home?"

"Xiaoyu and Hanhan are back today. They had sent telegrams before and said there were too many things, so their parents and the national soldiers went to pick them up together." Wang Qian sat next to He Yuzhu and said with a smile.

"These two girls are finally willing to come back. They said they were back before National Day, but they only came back today." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Hearing his words, Wang Qian also smiled and said, "Don't say it anymore. If Guoquan hadn't gotten married this time, they probably wouldn't want to come back, especially Xiaoyu, who heard from her parents that she was in the countryside with a local.

If she hadn't been a matchmaker, she wouldn't have been prepared to come back."

I have to say that in this era, the living standards in the city and the countryside were really different. They were not as convenient as in later generations, even in the countryside.

So, how could the father-in-law and mother-in-law agree to their own girl marry a country farmer?

"This girl is really not worry-free, but since she is back, don't let her go back. After the Chinese New Year, we will find a factory for her and Xiaoyu to work. She will forget about it after a long time."

He Yuzhu suggested.

"My parents mean the same thing. She is a little girl who really wants to marry to the northwest, but she will have to face the loess and back to the sky for the rest of her life?" Wang Qian said with a smile.

As soon as they said this, they heard someone talking in the yard outside. When they went out, they saw that it was their mother-in-law and the others who were back.

"Zhuzi, brother-in-law! Sister!"

Several sounds of greeting sounded at the same time. He Yuzhu and Wang Qian responded with a smile, and then stepped forward to help get the things.

After a while, in the living room of the Wang family.

He Yuzhu looked at Wang Han and Wang Yu. The two girls had grown up a lot, not only had they lost a lot, but their skin became much darker.

Both the father-in-law and the mother-in-law who were sitting aside felt very distressed and quickly said that they were suffering.

How can you not be hard? Working every day, wind and sunny, can you not be hard?

As my mother-in-law talked, she hugged the girl and started crying.

Seeing this, Wang Qian and her father-in-law quickly comforted her.

As for He Yuzhu, he couldn't stand such a scene and directly took the national army to smoke outside.

As soon as he was about to take out the cigarette from his pocket, he saw Guobing quickly said, "Brother-in-law, please smoke me this. Our leader gave it to me a few days ago. How do you try it?"

He Yuzhu smiled, took it over, took out the lighter and lit it, then nodded and praised: "It tastes good, it is worthy of being specially provided by these senior talents in your research institute."

"My brother-in-law was joking. I was not qualified to smoke this kind of cigarette. This was what our leader asked my second uncle to bribe me in advance when doing business.

If you like, brother-in-law, I still have half left there. I will give it to you later. I like to smoke the big front door, it tastes so good!" When the Kuomintang Bing heard He Yuzhu say it was good, he immediately smiled and said that he still had half.

"Hahaha, okay, you'll give it to me later, I'll give you a big front door in two days." He Yuzhu laughed, and he didn't refuse the kindness of the national soldiers.

"I have it at home, but Chen He is too tight to let me smoke a pack of cigarettes for three days. It's useless for you to give me your brother-in-law, and there's no place to put it on." Guobing said with a wry smile.

"Haha, this is great. Although I smoke too, I only have a few cigarettes a day.

By the way, what kind of job are you going to find on the way you just arrived?

Your sister said that parents wanted us to help get a job for them." He Yuzhu laughed, and then asked about Wang Yu and the others' work.

Upon hearing this, Guobing nodded and then whispered: "Brother-in-law, leave this matter to me. Moreover, Xiaoyu had a partner when she went to the countryside. This girl was thinking about going back to find that man!

When I get my ideological work done for her, I will do it with her and Wang Han. Anyway, they have just come back and have time to solve the work."

"That's fine, then I'll leave this matter to you. In addition, Guo Quan will get married in 27th. When will he and his partner come back?" He Yuzhu asked again.

"It should be today. It will be here tonight at the latest. He has taken two months off this time. If he goes back, he will be almost promoted to the company commander." Guobing said with a smile.

"It's great. It's naturally the best for him to stay in the military system. It just so happens that his temperament is a bit dull. If he really wants to work outside, it will be unfavorable for his development." He Yuzhu smiled.

"Who said no? It just so happened that his father-in-law's family has been in the army for several generations. As long as he works hard, he will not have to worry about no way to rise." When the Kuomintang soldiers heard this, they immediately agreed with a smile.

After the two of them finished smoking cigarettes, they shook their heads and then turned around and walked into the house together.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw that the mother and daughter cried and their eyes turned red. He Yuzhu was helpless. He was the worst at persuading others.

At this time, the Guobing went to the house and soon took half of the cigarette he had just mentioned.

"Brother-in-law, I'll give it to you."

"Okay, then I'll accept it."

He Yuzhu took it and put it on the table. Then he looked at his father-in-law and said, "Dad, these two sacks are the melon seeds and peanuts I just got back. They are all fried. You always see what's missing. I'll do it together later.
