Chapter 570: Wang Bin
People grow up generation after generation, doing the same things in batches. Some are born together, some die together, some participate in work together, some get married and form a new family together.
The alley, which had never lacked liveliness, became even more lively once again.
Ever since Wang Yan got married and set up a big pot in Old Lao Guantou's small courtyard, since then, people from several nearby courtyards, no matter if it was a red or white event, as long as it was a big deal, the kitchen was chosen here.
There was no road in the world, but there was a road when many people walked. Old Lao Guantou's small courtyard was like this. This was not a kitchen for cooking big pot rice, but because many people used it, it became a kitchen. Compared to setting up a big pot on the road of the alley full of dust, it was much better.
Old Lao Guantou is very local, the whole alley is his age, and he calls everyone grandson. If he likes it, he takes out his small courtyard for people to use. If he doesn't like it, people won't go to find scolding, and this old kid's scolding is very ugly. A rolling knife meat is already terrible, and an old rolling knife meat is even more fatal.
As Han Chunming's master, Han Chunming's wedding was such a big event, naturally, a pot was also set up here to cook.
Looking at Meng Xiaoxing who was picking meat to eat, Taozi looked disgusted, stammered and stopped: "I say Xiaoxing, you guys have been eating since morning, it's almost enough, right? Last time Chunming's second brother got married, you didn't eat less, and you ate a layer of dishes. You didn't help, but can you not add chaos? I tell you, if it's like last time, the whole Han family will lose face, then you don't have to come again in the future, you look at it yourself."
Maybe she felt that she had eaten enough and had to save some stomach to grab with people at the table later, Meng Xiaoxing finally reached out and grabbed a piece of freshly fried meat, shared it with Meng Xiaozao who was looking at it, sucked her fingers: "Taozi brother, look at what you said, my fifth brother doesn't marry me, he marries someone else, can't I eat more? Besides, can I still do this? I'm just here to help you work, you say, what can I do?"
"As long as you don't stare at the meat in this courtyard, that's a big help." Taozi looked at Meng Xiaoxing with some helplessness, and Meng Xiaozao who was pitiful, and two little boys, shook his head: "You two go to the courtyard to add tea and water to people, keep your eyes open, don't scald people."
"Don't worry, Taozi brother, this work is my specialty." After speaking, Meng Xiaoxing took a few followers and turned and ran.
Letting out a long sigh, Taozi turned into the room and sat on the stool: "This is annoying me."
Ma Du smiled and poured a cup of tea for Taozi: "Drink some water to suppress it, actually it's not a big deal. Their village doesn't have the conditions of the city, and they can't eat meat a few times a year, it's completely understandable."
He would come to find Wang Yan for a drink and chat every month or two, and he never came empty-handed, always bringing some side dishes. Wang Yan was naturally more generous, treating him with big fish and meat, occasionally drinking Maotai, occasionally drinking Erguotou. They drank in Old Lao Guantou's house, chatting about things related to history and culture. Han Chunming had no way to make money, and naturally, he was not less, everyone chatted well, they were all friends. So today Han Chunming got married, and he also came to give some gifts.
Taozi looked disgusted and drank the tea in one gulp: "Then you haven't seen the last time Chunming's second brother got married, don't underestimate these children, just the Meng Xiaoxing I just scolded, she can eat more than me. Master Wang knows, you tell him."
Wang Yan exhaled smoke lightly, shook his head and said: "Little Ma is right, it's all because of poor conditions. Didn't you say it earlier? I guess that Meng Xiaoxing has eaten enough, and it should stop in two minutes."
There is no doubt that Meng Xiaoxing is an ungrateful wolf. But it also has a lot to do with her growth experience, that is, no one cares since childhood, no one teaches, she is wild, and over time, this child grew crooked, big mouth, greedy, barbaric, can't speak, etc. There is no need to say more, Wang Yan is too lazy to pay attention.
He drank a sip of tea: "Chunming and Xiaoli are married, when are you going to handle things?"
"Then you can wait, just my mouth, and my family conditions are also average, it's very difficult to date."
"This is what you said, at least you are still a worker in the food factory." Ma Du took the words: "There are too many educated youths returning to the city now, you go to Beihai Park or the Temple of Heaven to stroll around during the day, they are all beautiful girls, and they are all wandering outside without work. Your conditions are already quite good. If you want to find those top-notch ones, it might not work, but ordinary girls, you just pick, and you will definitely be dazzled."
Taozi looked disgusted: "You hurry up and pull down, you still have the heart to talk about me, aren't you also without a partner."
"I'm two years younger than you, what are you comparing with me?"
Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Isn't it, you should hurry up. Chunming and Xiaoli are married, and there will be no time to mix like before."
Taozi scratched his head hard, he was also worried.
Still the same sentence, Taozi and Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli just met, and hadn't started pursuing Cai Xiaoli yet, Han Chunming was with Cai Xiaoli, so he didn't take it as a matter at all, and still played together so well...
The three of them were hiding here, the courtyard was really too noisy, adults were chatting, children were running around, it was really annoying. All other work was finished, and now it was time to go through the ceremony and serve dishes. Han Chunming was so busy for him at that time, naturally, he also had to help Han Chunming, you help me and I help you. Not only Han Chunming, but when Taozi and Ma Du get married, he also has to go to work. In fact, even if Han Chunming didn't help him before, he would have to help, because the living father arranged it, and Han Mu didn't care less about him. When Han family's second son Han Chunsheng got married the month before last, he was busy from beginning to end.
Just chatting like this for a while, people called to serve dishes, Wang Yan and the three followed others, took wooden trays, eight dishes per tray, and went back and forth between the two courtyards.
It was definitely not as many as when he got married, there were only sixteen tables, and although it was also eight dishes, there were fewer hard dishes, only pork, fish, and big meatballs, and the rest were peanuts, wood ear fried eggs, cold dishes, etc., which could be considered eight dishes, and it was the best they could do.
"How is it? Is it okay to eat? If you like anything, leave a plate for you to eat at night." After serving the dishes and serving rice to people, Wang Yan arrived at the table where the Su family was, and cared about his wife.
Counting the month or two before there was no reaction, it was May now, Su Meng had been pregnant for almost seven months, and her whole person had gained a circle. Sitting between Su Grandmother and her mother, with a big belly, she didn't need to pick up dishes at all, just holding a bowl and eating.
She shook her head, leaned close to Wang Yan and said: "It's okay, it's quite delicious. But forget about leaving dishes, it's not that we lack that bite, it seems like what's wrong with us."
This is the truth. The top priority of the whole family is to take good care of Su Meng and the child in her belly. Up to now, there has been no lack of food. To put it this way, Su Father, Su Mu, and Su Grandmother, who were originally a bit thin and dry, have all gained a circle and their faces are ruddy, which is raised by eating well.
Originally, on the surface, counting the one thousand yuan given by Su Meng's eldest uncle when they got married, they had more than two thousand. Knowing the news of Su Meng's pregnancy, Su Meng's eldest uncle sent another one thousand, which was more than three thousand. It should be said that Su Meng's eldest uncle, although he is bad, is really quite good to their family. Just these money, they can eat very well. Wang Yan can get all kinds of tickets, ensuring that money can be spent, and there is no lack of nutrition at all.
Wang Yan was about to speak, Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli and Han Mu walked over with wine: "Are you guys eating okay?"
Everyone stood up, nodded repeatedly, saying that the food was delicious, and there were no bad words.
"If it's okay, eat more, if it's not enough, say it, there's still some over there. The elders present all watched me grow up..." Han Chunming said beautiful words, poured wine and drinks for everyone one by one, including Wang Yan who also drank a glass, and a pile of auspicious words, saying some things about giving birth to children early, and then went to the table of classmates.
This table was the last table of neighbors, all women, including Cheng Army Supervisor's mother and wife. This time Cheng Army Supervisor didn't eat at a table with women like when Wang Yan got married, but was with Yang Huajian and others.
Wang Yan was eating the dishes fed to his mouth by Su Meng, paying attention to the movement at the table next to him...
Seeing Han Chunming come over, Yang Huajian first started to tease: "Han Chunming brought his wife over, this kid silently cheated Cai Xiaoli, such a great beauty, to his hand, shouldn't he drink three glasses first?"
Han Chunming arched his hands and begged for mercy: "Brothers, please raise your hands high. If it were me, it would be fine. Now how much to drink depends on Xiaoli."
Cai Xiaoli, a husband and wife team, followed up: "If you ask me, you guys are all bad-hearted, are you jealous that Chunming got married earlier than you? Intentionally retaliating? Really. If you pour Chunming's wine, when you get married, see how we pay it back."
A classmate sighed: "It is really husband and wife with one heart, consistent to the outside, Xiaoli's temperament is still so direct, still so sharp-tongued. Chunming, you can't let Xiaoli down, she is so good to you."
Han Chunming laughed: "Don't worry, we must be the kind that will last until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble. If you have the energy to care about us, you should care about your own lifelong affairs. Especially Yang Huajian, you are the one who shouts the loudest, and you are still a bachelor until now."
"Hey, Chunming, you are wrong." Cheng Army Supervisor opened his mouth from the side: "I am already ahead of you, I got married last month. Two days ago, my wife was a bit uncomfortable, and when she went to the hospital for a check, guess what? Pregnant! This step is slow, step by step is slow, but I have successfully achieved a reversal. You two must hurry up, don't wait until the children can't play together."
He was right, he got married last month, Wang Yan gave five yuan, and also helped move tables and serve dishes. First, people helped before, and second, Su Meng's work was really his effort, although it had nothing to do with him, but now it came to him, and they all lived in one courtyard, and there was no conflict now. If you want to talk about pretending to be a person, Wang Yan is better at pretending.
Han Chunming didn't know about Cheng Army Supervisor's hostility toward him, but he knew about Cheng Army Supervisor's petty nature; his competitive streak and need to be better than him in everything had been there since they were kids. However, he didn't care; getting worked up over this was pointless. He nodded with a chuckle: "Yes, yes, you're the best. You say you'll find a partner, and you do; you say you'll get married, and you do—so decisive. Yang Huajian, Mao Ditu, you heard him. One step slow means every step is slow; I'm waiting to drink at your weddings. Today, let's soak up some of my good fortune, and you all better hurry up later; don't let it get to the point where your kids can't even play together. Come, come, drink, drink."
Yang Huajian waved his hand and greeted: "Master Wang, all classmates are drinking here, you don't be intimate with Su Meng, come over and have a drink."
Patting Su Meng's shoulder, Wang Yan came over and let Yang Huajian pour wine. This table had given gifts when he got married before, although he only called one Yang Huajian... "It's almost seven months, you must pay attention, if there is any accident, you can't find a place to cry."
"Did you see it, Army Supervisor? The one who is really ahead is here." Yang Huajian's tone was very casual, a bit frivolous, and he didn't take Cheng Army Supervisor as a matter at all.
Cheng Army Supervisor felt awkward: "Hi, I didn't say I was faster than Chunming, and also faster than you, hurry up, it's boring to chew words. Come, Master Wang, Chunming, drink, drink."
A group of people drank a glass together, and said a few words. Han Chunming left, Wang Yan greeted: "If you lack anything, call, someone is calling over there, I'll go over and see, you guys drink."
Watching him leave, Yang Huajian shook his head and sighed: "Chunming still has face, no matter what these relatives and friends are like, it's not bad to be able to let Master Wang be busy."
"What's this? When I got married, didn't Wang Yan help me move tables and serve dishes?" Seeing several people staring at him with strange eyes, Cheng Army Supervisor explained: "What are you looking at me for? They all live in one courtyard, isn't it helping each other. Before Master Wang got married, I was also busy, you all saw it. That Chunming is even eating last, and he is even more busy. Besides, Chunming's mother took care of him before, and even sewed clothes for him, and the bedding for marrying Su Meng was made by Chunming's mother, he must help."
Yang Huajian laughed and drank a sip of wine: "Army Supervisor, your change is really big. The previous sentence seems like you are Cheng Ye, and the next sentence is you again."
"Hey, I tell you, Yang Huajian, maybe one day you will call me Cheng Ye."
"Do your spring and autumn dreams..."
A group of people laughed, and Cheng Army Supervisor also laughed...
Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli got married, everyone was like that, life after marriage was no different, what it was like before, it was still like that after marriage. After all, before marriage, they had been dating for almost a year, and they were familiar with each other. With Han Chunming's somewhat dangling appearance, and Cai Xiaoli's devotion to Han Chunming, what should have been done and what shouldn't have been done had long been done, maybe the protection measures were done well, and there was no big belly in advance.
This is not the malicious speculation of Wang Yan, the onlooker, because the two had reactions less than a month after marriage. According to the normal negative reaction time of about six weeks, it must have been intimate before. However, this is nothing, after all, it is a bright and upright thing, what era has no small woods? This thing pursues such tension, comfort, and the stimulation of being afraid of being discovered, which is quite perverted.
Don't look at Wang Mouren being quite not a thing, he really didn't look for that stimulation...
It was also a few days after discovering Cai Xiaoli's pregnancy that Han family's last Han family second daughter, Han Chunyan, who stayed at home, was successfully married. The object was a worker, honest and honest, introduced and met last year, and after a period of contact, they set a marriage. It was another month, and it was handled in early July. It was still the same thing, it couldn't be handled together, and it couldn't be handled one after another, so it could only be separated like this, giving relatives and friends a period of time to react.
However, this time it was not marrying into the courtyard, but marrying outside, so there was no more tossing. Wang Yan treated everyone equally, still ten yuan. Before Han Chunming and Han Chunsheng got married, he was also ten yuan. Those of the same age in the courtyard, this can be considered finished, and it is rare to restore the previous peace.
Another Sunday, after breakfast, taking advantage of the cool weather in the morning, Su Meng, who had a big belly, lay on the recliner and swayed in the courtyard, while Wang Yan held a basin of clothes and rubbed them in the water pool. Su Meng is an ancestor, and clothes and so on, sometimes Su Grandmother and Su Mu come over to see if the room is clean, and wash them when they see dirty clothes. However, most of the time, Wang Yan washed them. After all, Su Meng was only good for two months, and then she was pregnant.
"Aunt, five children are married, leaving Chunming to live with you, and Xiaoli is so virtuous, are you at ease now?"
Opposite Wang Yan, it was the chubby Han Mu, and Cai Xiaoli, who were rubbing clothes. Neither of them let anyone else, Han Mu felt that Cai Xiaoli was pregnant, so don't suffer here. Cai Xiaoli, a good daughter-in-law of China, naturally didn't want Han Mu to be tired, and they were all stubborn, isn't this just levering up.
The Su Meng behind laughed: "Xiaoli is willing to wash, you let her wash, having such a daughter-in-law is not good? People are envious, I see, you are just not knowing the blessing in the blessing. Xiaoli is only a few months now, when the belly gets big, even if you let her do it, she can't do it. Right, Xiaoli?"
"Isn't it, Mom, you hurry up and sit there and rest, it's so cool early in the morning, there are not many clothes in total, and it will be washed soon."
Han Mu stubbornly continued to wash clothes, not answering at all: "Su Meng, is it almost time to give birth?"
Su Meng was giggling by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, nodded and said: "Went to the hospital the day before yesterday, said it is estimated to be about half a month, maybe a little earlier, let me pay attention."
"Which hospital did you go to?"
"Peking Union Medical College Hospital, it's close. His friend knows a director or something, helped book a bed. After another week, go to the hospital to wait for production."
Some people say that there must be three friends in life, one in the education bureau, one in the hospital, and one in the law firm. This makes sense, because it concerns life and death, the next generation, and life and property. However, this is not something ordinary people can recognize, after all, they are all working people, and there are many who have no way to ask...
"That's good, knowing people saves a lot of trouble." While talking, Han Mu looked at Wang Yan.
Without her opening her mouth, Wang Yan nodded with a chuckle: "Aunt, don't worry, when Xiaoli is about to give birth, I will arrange it. In the future, don't worry about not having tickets to buy milk powder, I know many people, and I can get them."
Han Mu nodded repeatedly with joy: "Hey, good child, Aunt didn't love you in vain."
Waving his hand, Wang Yan shouted: "Why didn't I see Chunming, not up yet?"
"How is it, went out early in the morning. Before, he flipped several bicycles and changed a new one, this went out to find broken old bicycles again, although he can't earn much, but it's a source of income, better than staying at home."
Wang Yan nodded clearly, this is going out to stroll around to find things...
In the afternoon, Su Meng was with her parents in the backyard, Wang Yan was bored, and went out to watch Old Lao Guantou and others play chess. At this time, Han Chunming carried a broken bicycle back.
"Master, Master Wang, playing."
Old Lao Guantou was in trouble by the general, thinking about the strategy to break the enemy, and didn't even look at his beloved disciple. Wang Yan stood up with a smile and walked to the side: "Out for a day, look at your happy look, this is getting good things again?"
Han Chunming nodded fiercely, grinning, leaned close to Wang Yan and whispered: "Hongzhi style blue and white lotus swimming dragon bowl. It's the owner of this bicycle, I went to ask for a bowl of water to drink, who knows he gave me a good thing, thanks to them not knowing the goods, it is really destiny in me..."
It sounds very tall, actually it is blue and white porcelain, with lotus flowers painted on it, and swimming dragons, a bowl.
Looking at his stealing joy and happy look, Wang Yan laughed, took out a cigarette and lit one, exhaled a long puff of smoke, and said lightly: "I have a Xuande blue and white plum vase, as well as plates, the vase has dragons, the plates have phoenixes."
Han Chunming's face suddenly felt awkward, let out a long sigh: "Master Wang, don't bring you to stimulate people like this. Wait until you can take it out openly in the future, I must watch it for three days and three nights."
Wang Yan shook his head, with a look of clouds and light wind: "You can't finish watching."
... After a long silence, Han Chunming laughed: "Master Wang, today I met an interesting person, he also collects things, looking at that look, he has a lot of good things in his hands. It's interesting to say, last year, I saw him hungry and leaning against the wall, so I gave him five cents to buy something to eat, he was good, gave me a few old books. I was inquiring about bicycles near the Eight Great Alleys, and saw him shouting to collect waste, so I met him. Surname Hou, collecting waste is called Broken Hou, he is also a person who likes to drink, loves to collect old objects, I will introduce you to know when I have a chance in the future, let's drink together, that person is quite interesting."
"Okay, you just pull him over to drink with the old man, and then call Little Ma over, everyone plays together, anyway, it's idle."
Originally, Han Chunming met Broken Hou again when collecting waste in 1977, but now because Han Chunming didn't steal bread for Su Meng, and didn't flip eggs and was fired. And because he married Cai Xiaoli, and was pregnant, he had responsibility on his body, felt pressure, thought about earning more money, ran out to tidy up bicycles, and collected antiques, but met Broken Hou in advance.
In fact, their meeting again is destined, because the places they live are all in the Second Ring Road, not big, not small. Broken Hou is walking the streets and alleys all day, and Han Chunming is also looking for things everywhere. Reasonably speaking, they should have met long ago, but nothing happened, and there was no impression. With the five cents before, there was an impression, and meeting again, chatting deeply, was natural.
This Broken Hou is not bad, no big problems. To put it this way, this TV series, from beginning to end, always trusts Han Chunming, are good people. Broken Hou, and his daughter Hou Sue, Taozi although always on the road of doubting Han Chunming, but that is because of Guan Guan Xiao Guan, and his parents tossing, he is in the middle and difficult. Except for these three people, counting Han Chunming's mother and Cai Xiaoli who didn't mix much from beginning to end, Old Lao Guantou and Meng Xiaozao who took care of him, the rest are basically not good people, most of them are ungrateful wolves, don't remember good...
The reproduction of a group of people lies in the supplement of fresh blood. Dead old, gone rotten, welcome new, new become old, their thoughts become rotten, then there are new challenges, so back and forth, creating millions of years, humans from the Paleolithic era who only knew how to use tools, developed to the industrial era today, and began to look up at the starry sky, exploring the universe.
Outside the delivery room of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Su Father and Wang Yan sat on chairs, while Su Mu was supporting Su Grandmother standing against the wall opposite, because they couldn't sit still.
No one spoke, all waiting nervously for the result.
Of course, except for Wang Yan, he just looked a bit nervous, in such an atmosphere, it would be inappropriate not to be nervous. Still the same sentence, his experience is too rich.
Honestly, whether modern or ancient, he has countless women, countless children, but so far, he has never had a woman or child die in the production link.
Su Meng started cervical dilation last night, tossed all night, and entered the delivery room early this morning, and it has been almost two hours now.
Wang Yan has a number in his heart, that is, there is too much nutrition, leading to the child being a bit fat, and it is difficult to give birth. There is no way, Su Grandmother and Su Mu who have given birth to children are there, he is not a doctor this time, and has no right to speak. Even if he found a doctor friend, the effect was minimal, still eating and drinking well. There are some problems, but not big, so he gave up.
Finally, after another half an hour, the big door of the delivery room finally opened. The nurse held the child out and said: "Congratulations, mother and son are safe, a big fat boy of eight jin and two liang."
Su Grandmother and Su Mu ran over for the first time, Wang Yan followed Su Father, looking at the struggling little thing, it was just like that.
The name was taken by Su Father long ago, didn't find a fairy to look at the five elements, just turned the dictionary, if it was a girl, it would be called Wang Shan, if it was a boy, it would be called Wang Bin... ===== CHAPTER 571 =====
The names had been chosen by Su Fu long ago. He didn't look up the Five Elements with a fortune teller; he just flipped through a dictionary. If it was a girl, she would be called Wang Shan, and if it was a boy, he would be called Wang Bin...
