Traveling through the 1970s

In the morning, not only did I settle Xiaoxiao's household registration, but I also settled everything for my second brother. He also reported for work and can officially start work tomorrow.

"That's good too. We have a worker at home, and my second brother will be a worker in the future." He smiled foolishly, and then said happily: "My second brother will have money to buy me candy in the future."

Han Yunzheng gave his sister a piece of braised pork with a distressed look. In the past, when the family had no money, he always used this excuse to coax Xiaoxiao and make her happy.

"Buy it. From now on, I will give all my salary to Xiao Xiaohua." Han Yunzheng told Xiao Xiao with a smile, his eyes full of pampering and heartache.

"I don't want it. My sister has given me money. From now on, you should give half of your salary to mother, and save the other half for yourself to marry a sister-in-law!" He said while eating meat.

Han Yunyao laughed all of a sudden. Xiaoxiao thought the same thing as her family, half of it should be handed over to Xiaoxiao. In fact, they all wanted to give it to Xiaoxiao, but they were afraid of being told that they only cared about their daughter and didn't care about their son's life or death.

"Xiaoxiao, don't listen to your second brother, eat quickly!" Han Yunyao picked up some food and put it in her sister's bowl.

"Xiaoxiao, I just bought three more chickens and asked my second brother to make chicken soup for you every day and two eggs for you to eat every day. You can't eat so little anymore."

Xiaoxiao is in poor health and has a small appetite, so she can’t eat much. It’s really worrying.

After nodding, the three siblings began to eat and chat about family matters.

After dinner, Han Yunyao left directly, but she gave her second brother some instructions, asking him to take good care of Xiaoxiao, and she also left him some money before leaving.

"Second brother, have you finished everything in your room?" Han Yunya asked her second brother.

"Have you bought everything you need?"

"It's done. Yunyao has bought everything, and the furniture and everything is also complete." Han Yunzheng took his sister to his room to take a look, so that she could feel at ease.

Han Yunya felt relieved when she saw that everything was complete. She saw that her second brother only had two sets of clothes, one half-new and one new. She thought to herself, what should I do? She looked at her second brother from head to toe.

"Second brother, please pack up. I'm going to go out for a while." He took the money and said to his second brother as he walked out.

"Okay, then come back soon so you can get some sleep." The second brother's voice came from the kitchen.

I walked out of the house and went to the supply and marketing cooperative, where I first bought two and a half meters of cloth, two pairs of rubber shoes, two shirts, and two boxes of Daqianmen. Then I walked back to a deserted place and took out two pairs of rubber shoes, two shirts, two pieces of cloth, a face mask and two pieces of flowered cloth, and a set of toiletries.

I went directly to the old tailor, told him my second brother's measurements, and had four pairs of trousers made for him. I will pick up two pairs this evening and the remaining two pairs tomorrow. I will go back only after the agreed time.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my second brother washing clothes in the yard. "Second brother, look, these are the things I bought for you," he shouted happily.

Han Yunzheng felt really distressed when he saw the pile of things in his sister's hands. This would cost a lot of money. Xiaoxiao had used all the money that Daya left for her to buy things for herself.

Seeing that my second brother looked unhappy, I knew what he was thinking.

"I'm lucky today. These are defective products. They're cheaper without tickets, so I bought a little more. For you, second brother. I bought them for you and our parents. Except for yours, you can take the rest back next time. You can wear the clothes and pants to work tomorrow. The cigarettes are bought for you so that you can distribute them to your colleagues at work," he spoke as if he hadn't seen his second brother's expression.

"You go get these pants yourself this afternoon, second brother. Take two first and the remaining two tomorrow. My second brother must dress neatly and beautifully when he goes to work. Maybe by then I will have a sister-in-law." He teased the second brother with a smile.

Seeing through Xiaoxiao's little thoughts, he understood that Xiaoxiao must go to work for him so that he would not be looked down upon, so that others would look up to him like this, but he really felt distressed.

Xiaoxiao always thinks about them. After I start working, I will definitely treat Xiaoxiao better and let her live a good life.

"Xiaoxiao, go take a rest. You have to go to school in the afternoon."

"Got it, brother. Don't forget to pick up your pants this afternoon."

"Got it, little housekeeper." She pushed Xiaoxiao back to the house to rest.

Without saying any more, Han Yunya went back to her room to rest. She still needed a set of mathematics, physics and chemistry books, and she also had to write articles for the newspaper, so that she could get royalties and have a legitimate source of money. There were also many things that needed to be thought about and planned.

After seeing his sister close the door, he went back to his room and started to pack his things. He took out his shoes, shirts, and sheets, took out the cigarettes that Xiaoxiao bought for him, and put away the rest, so that Daya could take them back the next time she came.

The small floral fabric was used to make a skirt for Xiaoxiao, and there was enough for Dayaer to make one too. The toiletries were obviously her own, Xiaoxiao was still so considerate.

After tidying up my things, I lay down on the kang for a nap. I felt like the past two days were like a dream.

In the afternoon, Xiaoxiao went to school. Han Yunzheng tidied up the vegetable garden, built the chicken coop, and went to get two pairs of pants.

After Han Yunzheng started working, he got along well with his colleagues because he was hardworking, had good eyesight, was good at speaking, and was good at handling things. In addition, he had a good relationship with Uncle Wang, so he also got along well in the transportation team. He was also popular.

We eat lunch in the cafeteria, and make breakfast for Xiaoxiao at home. If we make more, Xiaoxiao will have something to eat at noon.

If he is not busy at noon, he will rush back to cook for his sister. He also takes care of all the housework at home, and the taste of his cooking is mainly small.

"Are you really not going to participate in the housing allocation this time? You have a great chance, as you entered the factory just in time." Team leader Lin Dayou asked. He knew this capable and smart young man, who was sent here by the factory director himself, so he did have a chance given his qualifications.

"No, I won't participate. I've only been here for a few days. Let's give the opportunity to comrades in need!" Han Yunzheng said with a smile.

He had seen some oversized houses, but he didn't like them. Besides, he had just arrived, so he didn't need to fight for them. His work was secondary, his main priority was to take care of Xiaoxiao, and he couldn't move out.

"Uncle Lin, I'll just stay at home."

Lin Dayou looked at this handsome young man and didn't expect that a man from the countryside would have a house in the county. Thinking of his third daughter now...how could he be satisfied with Han Yunzheng?

"It's enough for you to know it. Aren't you from the village? Have you bought a house in the city?" he asked casually.

Without even raising his head, he continued working on his work and said, "It's from the village. The house in the county was left to my sister by an old man. It's next to the middle school. My sister is still young and in poor health, so my uncle Wang asked me to come here." He told the truth with a smile.

He knew that the captain, the minister, and the factory director all knew that he was sent by Uncle Wang himself, so there was nothing he couldn't tell.

Next to the middle school, there are houses with courtyards, and the space is large, unlike the family compound. Director Wang also lives there, and Lin Dayou has something in mind.

"Your sister is in middle school."

"Well, she's in the first year of high school. She's been weak since she was a child, and her family is worried about her living alone." She wiped the water off her hands and spoke with a smile.

"She's already 17 or 18 years old." Thinking that she would be in high school at this age, not much younger than the third girl, if a girl in the village could go to high school, her family would not be biased towards boys and would be thoughtful, so he asked again: "How many brothers and sisters do you have?"

"She's my eldest daughter, isn't she? She just got engaged a while ago, and my brother-in-law is a soldier, so we have to take care of her more." She said with a smile, fearing that the captain might miss her, and that she might also be missed.

"There are four of us siblings. I have an older brother and two younger sisters. The youngest one is in high school." Thinking of Xiaoxiao, a doting smile appeared on his face, and his smile unconsciously showed through.

He nodded. There were four brothers and sisters, so as a father, he knew what his daughter was like. He should ask her about this in advance.

"Well, get busy!" he said with a smile.

"Okay, Captain Lin." Han Yunzheng was going to wipe the car with a smile.

Looking at the energetic and handsome young man, Lin Dayou was very satisfied. He smiled and walked away with the cup.
