Chapter 64 Success
"I don't know if Zhijun can come back to visit his family!"

My father-in-law misses his eldest son. He hasn't seen him for almost two years.

Yu Zhiyuan gestured to Yang Zhiqiang and raised his glass.

After the three of them finished their drink, Yu Zhiyuan spoke up, "Zhijun is in the field army, and it's also a festive time, so he has to be more careful."

The father-in-law sighed, "You have to have a way out. What's the point of staying in the village every day? Even if you are in the army, it's hard to find a partner."

"Dad, the army is different, Zhijun is not big either, don't worry. Zhiqiang just ran into Jun, who has been watching him for a long time. You can be the security chief of a big factory, you just treat it as a gift."

Yu Zhiyuan bumped into his father-in-law again.

"Don't be fooled by his smiling face and politeness to everyone. If you offend him, he will probably kill you. He must have some experience when he returns from the battlefield. Otherwise, without a good family background and his sister-in-law's family background, he would be so stable in the factory."

The father-in-law nodded and said, "That guy is a big shot, no worse than your master's eldest brother."

Yu Zhiyuan shook his head: "That's different. My master's eldest brother is now a professional soldier. He will only be in the military system in the future and has a bright future. The northwest is not a place that ordinary people can go to."

After talking a lot with his father-in-law, Yu Zhiyuan finally understood why his father had decided on Yang Xuemei before he left.

Even though my father-in-law usually looks listless, people in the village still call him Lao Nian. He has his own plans.

These two brothers are not simple people.

Otherwise, why didn't Qin Huairu go to find her father? Because all the cleverness of the family is on Qin Huairu.

Yang Xuemei is just like her father. She doesn't talk much and never gets involved in other people's business. She never says anything when work matters don't concern her.

Yu Zhiyuan was woken up early in the morning by the sound of the brother and sister playing. He found that he had become lazy and didn't want to go to the pigeon market to set up a stall after drinking some wine.

All kinds of excuses are swirling through my mind.

When I heard the children's laughter, I knew I had to get back to work.

She got up, holding the toothbrush cup, and squatted in the yard next to the vegetable sink, brushing her teeth while watching her son riding his bike to chase Qiaoqiao.

Qiaoqiao always complains about Wenwen and still likes to play with her younger brother.

I saw Jiao Wenwen calculating several times.

My father-in-law sat on a stone bench with a cotton pad in his hand, smoking a cigarette, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

After washing up, Yu Zhiyuan asked Xuemei to heat up last night's leftovers. He put his son on his neck and asked Qiaoqiao to take the small aluminum pot to buy tofu pudding.

After buying tofu pudding, I asked my son what he wanted to eat, and then I couldn’t walk anymore when I got to the bun shop.

Come on, just eat buns.

The three of them strolled back and met neighbors who came out of the yard to buy breakfast. Qiaoqiao was more familiar to them than Yu Zhiyuan.

Uncles and aunts kept calling out.

After dinner, my father-in-law refused to let me see him off and just walked away carrying his things to catch the bus.

Yu Zhiyuan took out a large barrel of white wine and loaded it onto the trailer and left the yard.

When we arrived at the winery, we waited until no one was in the director's office before going in.

"Young man, here again?"

"Yes, I miss you, don't I?"

"You want to drink!"

Yu Zhiyuan chuckled, lit a cigarette for the factory director, and handed him the ticket.

The factory manager took a look at the ticket and nodded: "One hundred kilograms. I'll take you to load the wine later."

After the five barrels were packed, they were wrapped in torn sacks, tied up and taken out of the winery.

Yu Zhiyuan found an empty spot and collected all the items.

I rode my bike into the village and knocked on the door of the guy who was selling strawberries.

"Brother, you are here, come in and have a drink of water."

Yu Zhiyuan followed him into the house, drank a bowl of water, smoked a cigarette, and asked about the harvest and the children.

"Brother, the apples are gone, what do you think you can get?"

"Just give me some chestnuts." Yu Zhiyuan said as he took out two five-foot cloth coupons.

The man took one look and said, "Wait, brother."

After a while, a man who looked 60% like him came in carrying a sack.

"My brother is behind me."

Two sacks of chestnuts were tied onto the cart, pressed tightly, and slowly pushed out of the village.

After reaching the main road, he collected a bag and tied it up, then took out a barrel of wine. He first gave one barrel to Fan Changjun, then one barrel to his master, and then returned to the courtyard.

He carried chestnuts and wine into the backyard.

I opened the door of the vegetable cellar, threw the chestnuts in, and put the two bags of chestnuts away. I went into the house with the wine, and saw that my mother and the others were not at home.

After thinking about it in the standing room, I decided to put the wine in the vegetable cellar.

After finishing work, I make a cup of tea and sit in the study to read a book.

Yu Zhiyuan knew that the people had returned when he heard the chirping sounds of Qiaoqiao. He went out and saw people with big and small bags.

He took his son from Xuemei's arms, struggled to get off the ground, and pulled Yu Zhiyuan to take the bike to the yard to ride.

Send your son away first.

When I entered the kitchen, I saw a lot of soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, peanut oil, white sugar and brown sugar.

"Why buy so much at once?"

"There are a lot of people lining up, and we have everything we need today, so I'll call back first. The Spring Festival will be early next month."

"Look at my brain. I forgot all about it."

There is still one month before the Chinese New Year, and Yu Zhiyuan has to go buy some lard or fatty pork, as the house cannot be without oil.

After lying down for a while after dinner, Yu Zhiyuan asked Xuemei to pack his things and go to the bathhouse for a while.

Just as he went out and lit a cigarette, the door curtain was lifted and a small figure came over and hugged Yu Zhiyuan's legs.

"dad."

"Oh, my son wants to take a bath with his dad too."

Yu Jingwen raised his head and smiled.

"You little brat, do you know what a bath is?"

"Xuemei, pack two sets of clothes for Wenwen. Your eldest son also wants to take a bath."

Yang Xuemei kept chattering in front of Yu Zhiyuan's ear for a long time, saying things like drying him before dressing him, and letting him leave the bathhouse after his hair was dry, and so on.

Yu Zhiyuan could only nod.

Finally, Yang Xuemei said, "No, I'll take him next time."

Yu Zhiyuan picked up the things, picked up his son and left. How come you don’t realize that you talk so much when it comes to your son?

After entering the central courtyard, I arrived at the door of Sha Zhu’s house.

"Brother Zhuzi, hurry up and pack up and take a bath, hurry up."

The father and son chatted at the door for a while, and then Sha Zhu came out with a bath basket.

Look at when Shazhu had this thing before he got married.

Just a handful of soap and a towel and away you go.

The three of them entered the bathhouse.

"Brother Zhuzi, Brother Zhiyuan."

"Are two bath tickets enough for the three of us?"

"You're teasing me, that's enough. Do you want to have another bath?"

"No, just let my son rub it for me."

"I said Zhiyuan took advantage of me, didn't he?"

The two of them took the small lock and entered the locker room.

The two entered the large steaming hot pool.

Yu Zhiyuan helped his son stand on the platform and first used hot water to wipe him, not daring to put him directly into the sink.

After seeing that my son had adapted, I held him and let him into the pool.

Yu Zhiyuan first rubbed his son clean, then went out to the pool to get some soap to wash him clean, and then dried him with a towel.

Go to the locker room to put on his clothes, call the bathhouse collector to come in, and hold your son in your arms to watch him for a while!
The bathhouse was full of steam, and it was hard to breathe if you stayed there for a long time.

After taking a bath, I rubbed each other's backs with Shazhu.

"Brother Zhuzi, do you know how to fry chestnuts?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Yushui is going to have a holiday soon, right? Teach Yushui how to fry chestnuts. I have more than 100 kilograms of chestnuts. Let Yushui prepare 100 kilograms of chestnuts and take Qiaoqiao to the cinema to sell them."

"There's such a good thing. Okay, I'll tell him when the rain comes back. Just sell ten kilograms a day."

"Sell them slowly first, and then I'll go to Changping to get them. Remember to give some to the children in the courtyard."

After taking a shower, I felt relaxed and took my son home.
