Back to 90s

The Chinese New Year is approaching, but the pier in Shanghai is still very lively. After all, many people plan to make a last fortune before the new year.

Now the boats are next to each other, and some two or three decimeters wide thick wooden pedals have become the bridge between the boat and the land. Sometimes it looks wobbly, making the onlookers feel guilty.

In the past two years, more and more people bought a boat because they made a lot of money at the beginning, and now there are many boats that are full of goods but have not yet found a buyer. On the other side, the people on the boat fetch water directly from the river for cooking and washing, and there will always be one person staying at the bow of the boat waiting for people who need goods to come and buy them.

Zhu Yunxuan looked for a while at the pickers who didn't pay attention to the narrow pedals at all. When he turned his head, he saw many children who were about his age or younger. The rope is probably because they are afraid that they will fall into the river.

Compared with these children, even the relatively poor days he lived in his previous life were good days.

They have been wandering around the pier for a day today, met many people and saw many things.I have to say that compared with the bustling Shanghai, the mess here is unsightly.

"Hey, brother, do you want to buy a watch?" Suddenly a sneaky person stopped Jiang Yong and asked in a low voice.

Before Jiang Yong could speak, the other party carefully took out a watch from his pocket: "This watch is not from the right place, but it is definitely a good thing. It costs a few thousand yuan in the mall, and I will sell it to you for 100 yuan!"

"I don't want it." Jiang Yong directly refused. He didn't like people who sold stolen goods.

"You don't want a watch? Do you want a gold necklace? It's me...hehe." The man took out another lady's necklace: "400 yuan, you can take it!"

"Is this fake?" Sun Ling, who was on crutches, said with a smile. His legs and feet are inconvenient, but he can still walk with two crutches.

The face of the person who sold them the "stolen goods" changed, and he squeezed out a smile: "Brother, since you don't want it, forget it..." As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away without a trace.

"Didn't those things be stolen?" Jiang Yong asked.

"Is there such a thief? That's obviously a liar," Sun Ling said, "That person looks like I stole this thing, and he just wants to take advantage of people's greed for petty gain."

"Hey! Where's the person who was talking to you just now?" Suddenly, a tall, thin man with a short beard above his lips ran over.

"He ran away." Jiang Yong said.

"Let him run away... As soon as someone told me, I caught up. You didn't buy anything from him, did you?"

"We didn't buy it, but you did?" Sun Ling asked.

"It wasn't me who bought it, but the guy who sailed with me bought it. He bought a pair of high-end leather shoes and a watch that the other party said were stolen from the door of those who came in to change shoes. It turned out that the leather shoes were made of paper. The watch It will break in two days." The man in his thirties said.

"There are a lot of scammers now, and being greedy for small things is not a good thing," Sun Ling said, "Are you going to go shopping in the city?" Although the clothes this young man was wearing seemed rustic to them, they were clearly well-groomed. , If you plan to work, it would be a pity to get dirty.

"Well, I'm going to buy some food to cook, and I also need to buy some candy. It's the Chinese New Year." The man said.

"We're going to the vegetable market too, let's go together." Sun Ling said with a smile, and kept talking to each other along the way.

On the surface, that man didn’t seem to be able to tell that he didn’t come, but he turned out to be a chatterbox. From the time he took eggs to Shanghai for food coupons more than ten years ago, and then bought cheap rice in Shanghai and sold them back home to when he was sailing now. A lot of miscellaneous things have been said about the various things encountered.

"You don't know, there was a foreigner's boat sailing yesterday. The boat was so high. We saw the foreigners were happy and waved to them. They threw a pack of cigarettes down. Later, many people crowded there. and waved their hats at them together, and afterwards they dropped a lot of cans and cigarettes, and nicely packed biscuits...”

"Really? Isn't it good to do this?" Sun Ling asked, his face changed. This kind of thing gives people the feeling that foreigners are teasing them... But what can he say to a group of people who are struggling to make a living?

"Yeah, so then the police on the pier came and told us to return our things, and we were all searched, but I had already opened a can and ate it, and it contained sweet Little fish, there are also beans in the cans that someone got, and the taste is not good at all... and those cigarettes are very choking, and we are not used to them," the man seemed to think of cigarettes when he talked about them. Regarding this matter, he took out a cigarette and lit it. "The one in the boat with me is a smart one. He hid a pack of biscuits early and said he would take it back for his mother-in-law to eat."

The man bought some fatty meat and some cheap snail vegetables and went back, while Sun Ling took Zhu Yunxuan and others to a noodle shop next to the vegetable market to eat noodles.

The noodle soup is already cooked. If you want to eat noodles, the store will put some noodles in the noodle soup, and then put poached eggs and chicken legs on the side. You can add what you want. There is a price for each item.

I have to say that the taste of this noodle is really not that good, probably because it is cheap, so it is quite lively. Many people are eating poached egg noodles, and there is a big bowl for only two yuan.

In addition to the pier, they went to many places in a few days, and the Oriental Pearl Tower was naturally one of them.It can be seen that Sun Ling also hopes that they can see the various aspects of life.

On February 28th of the lunar calendar, Zhu Yunxuan went home with Sun Ling and Jiang Yong. Originally, Zheng Xiaoqing's family had stayed with Sun Ling in Shanghai for the New Year, but in the end Sun Ling refused.

The Chinese New Year is very lively. Everyone in the Zhu family is very happy during the Chinese New Year. The reason for Zhu Chengcai and his wife is that they have another son and they have made a lot of money. The reason for Zhu Chengcai and his wife is similar.

I have to say that Zhu Chenggong is really a person who can endure hardships. He is not afraid of hardships or tiredness. Although the meat sold is not expensive, the quantity is large, so he makes a lot of money. The meat machine helps others to grind minced meat and delivers meat to the steamed stuffed bun shop, and they set up two cafeterias. In addition, he will not refuse when someone asks him to kill pigs or sheep. On weekdays, he has an income of [-] to [-] every day. , and now it's almost Chinese New Year, he gets up early and sells four or five pigs a day greedily, earning fifty or sixty yuan a day is considered a small amount.

In Zhu Yunxuan's view, although he makes a lot of money in this way, it is easy to damage his body - Zhu Chenggong rarely even has time to rest these days... But he can't persuade him about this matter, he really persuaded him , I am afraid that the other party will feel that they are jealous of his family's income.

Zhu Chenggong is often overwhelmed, so Feng Xian goes to the town to help him every morning, helping him deliver meat to the bun shop, pork ribs and minced meat to the restaurant. something.

When Feng Xian went to the town to help, he would usually send Zhu Dongyue to her natal home first. Later, when Zhu Dongyue was four or five months old, she sometimes asked Wang Fenger to help her.

Zhu Yunxuan was not at home in the morning before, so naturally he didn't know how Wang Feng'er took care of the child. Now it was morning when he returned home, but he saw Zhu Dongyue, who had fallen asleep in a big red plastic basin, and beside him Wang Fenger of the shoe sole.

"Grandma, why don't you take my sister to the bed?" Zhu Yunxuan asked, his family also has a big washbasin, and Jiang Yuexiu usually uses it when washing sheets and quilts.

"Move her and she will wake up!" Wang Feng'er said angrily, he liked Zhu Yunxuan very much at first, but since Zhu Yunxuan bit her when Jiang Yuexiu gave birth, she has not been very friendly to Zhu Yunxuan.

"Yunxuan!" Jiang Yuexiu came out with Zhu Yunjin in her arms, and she was used to the situation in front of her. What Wang Fenger did now was much better than letting the child cry and stuffing the child in the car with things.

"Mom! Xiao Jin!" Seeing his younger brother, Zhu Yunxuan immediately stretched out his hand to hug him. At his age, Jiang Yuexiu originally wouldn't let him hold the child, but he kept holding him firmly, and gradually Jiang Yuexiu got used to it.

"Xiao Jin is heavy again!" Zhu Yunxuan hugged his younger brother and said with a smile. He followed Jiang Yong to exercise, and his arm strength is pretty good.

"That's right, this child is said to be fat wherever he goes." Children are only cute when they are fat, and Jiang Yuexiu is very proud of this.

On New Year’s Eve, Zhu Yunjin, who saw other people eating and desperately opening their mouths to beg for it, finally ate the first mouthful of rice in his life, and then he swallowed it dryly. After complaining for a while, the fried rice noodles she prepared finally came in handy.

Babies of five or six months should eat some rice, right?In addition, it is good to eat eggs... Zhu Yunxuan was thinking about his younger brother's recipe, while Zhu Chengcai had a rare drink, and the family was very harmonious.

After the New Year, it was time to visit relatives again. Jiang Yuexiu's house had nothing but clothes, so naturally she would wear new clothes every day and go out. That's not counting. She even gave some to Jiang Cheng's wife, My own sister also has Feng Xian.

It's Chinese New Year, who doesn't dress up?Even the most rustic girl will buy a few new clothes, it is a good thing for Jiang Yuexiu to have new clothes to wear, but there are always some people who like to talk nonsense...

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Lei's mother brought Lu Lei to the door suddenly in the afternoon.

Lu Lei is now in the first grade like Zhu Qiuyue. Zhu Yunxuan met him a few times ago, but found that he even knew only half of pinyin, which was worse than the "mentally handicapped" in their class before. Helpless.

"Oh! Yunxuan is finally home! This kid is so smart that he can skip a grade to the fourth grade." Lu Lei's mother spoke Mandarin with a strong accent. Although she has been here for more than ten years, she still hasn't learned it. The dialect here is Jiang Yuexiu, and now she speaks Mandarin very fluently.

"It's you," Jiang Yuexiu came out with a bowl of boiled water chestnuts, and hurriedly greeted, "Do you want to eat sugar water chestnuts?"

"Hey, did your family grow water chestnuts this year?" Lu Lei's mother asked after grabbing a handful.

"No, there are so many things to do this year, how can I take care of this." Jiang Yuexiu smiled and said.

"Yeah, your family is rich now...Look at you, you are more beautifully dressed than a big girl...By the way, Yuexiu, someone outside said you..." She looked conflicted.

Seeing her appearance, Zhu Yunxuan knew that she might not have anything good to say.Sure enough, after Jiang Yuexiu asked, the other party hesitated and said: "Many people in our factory said that you were having an affair with the boss, and that if it weren't for the two of you...how could the boss treat you so well? Why did the boss treat you so well at the beginning? Don’t tell me you are a supervisor, now you will be paid if you don’t go to work after giving birth..."

After just a few words, Jiang Yuexiu's face became extremely ugly.

"Look, these days you are wearing such nice clothes. They are all clothes from the factory, and each piece costs more than 100... Some people say that you didn't plan to have children before, but now you have to pay so many fines." Could it be that this child is actually..." This woman didn't know whether she was really stupid or just came here to mock Jiang Yuexiu, she insisted on telling all the rumors outside.

Jiang Yue's delicate body trembled. Li Yue was indeed very kind to them, but that was because the two of them had a good relationship. Why did others think that way?

Lu Lei's mother probably also saw that something was wrong, she pulled Lu Lei and left, but Jiang Yuexiu turned around and walked in.

"Mom, they are talking nonsense!" Zhu Yunxuan quickly caught up with his mother, but saw Jiang Yuexiu's eyes were red.Jiang Yuexiu didn't care about her son, and went upstairs and into the room all the way. When she saw Zhu Chengcai lying on the bed, tears were already streaming down her face.

"Axiu, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Chengcai asked in surprise, but at this time Zhu Yunjin was sleeping on top of him, and he wanted to stand up but couldn't.

"You don't even know what they say outside...I'll tell you! Recently, people have gathered to talk several times, and no one opened their mouths once I passed by!" Jiang Yue is too delicate, and she is said like this in a place like the countryside. Well, I'm afraid she will be pointed at when she goes out in the future!

"What did you say?" Zhu Chengcai was very surprised. Even though there were already many rumors outside, how could anyone tell him?So he didn't know anything about it.

Jiang Yuexiu didn't speak, what should she say about this?Now she just feels that her face is completely humiliated!

Zhu Yunxuan cautiously stayed aside, rumors were fiercer than tigers, if he hadn't been afraid of rumors back then, his parents wouldn't have broken up with him...

And now, Lu Lei's mother actually said in front of him: "Dad, just now Lu Lei's mother came, and she said that someone outside said that my younger brother is Uncle Li's child." It also becomes ugly.

He wasn't afraid of Zhu Chengcai's suspicions. After all, Li Yue let Zhu Chengcai and Jiang Yuexiu share the same office when he went to work. Later, Jiang Yuexiu went home to have a baby, and Li Yue only went to Zhu Chengcai for anything... What's more, For a rich man like Li Yue, if he really wants to find a good date, is it possible to find Jiang Yuexiu, who is in his thirties and looks ordinary?

"Nonsense!" Zhu Cheng jumped up from the bed angrily. His young son's mouth resembled his nose, his eyes resembled his...how did he become someone else's child?

"Wow!" Although Zhu Chengcai still remembered hugging his youngest son lying on his body under his excitement, but for Zhu Yunjin, the place where he was lying on his stomach that gave him a sense of security was now violently shaking, of course he was not happy up.

Seeing his son crying, Li Yue hurriedly coaxed him up.

After coaxing the child, Jiang Yuexiu's mood became more stable. After all, this matter is fake, and everyone in the family knows it.But what should they do now?The family discussed it for a while, and finally looked at each other, only to find that they had nothing to do.

There is no way to explain things like rumors. The more they explain, the more suspicious others may be...

"I won't wear those clothes in the future!" Jiang Yuexiu said angrily, she couldn't help but hate Lu Lei's mother now - both children are here, she just talks nonsense!Thinking of what happened before, Jiang Yuexiu felt that she couldn't face her eldest son anymore!

"Mom, people will say that you have a guilty conscience..." Zhu Yunxuan hesitated to speak. At the beginning, many people knew about him, and there were too many people in the school and company who said him. In the end, he chose to live his own life No matter what other people think.

If you really want to quarrel with others, I'm afraid you won't be able to quarrel.

Jiang Yuexiu was very angry and wanted to get angry with her son, but seeing Zhu Yunxuan's appearance, she finally suppressed her anger.This child is only nine years old after his early age. It is rare for him to be so smart. What does this matter have to do with him? "Then what else can we do?"

"Leave them alone, what good can someone who only gossips about others do? When our factory opens, let's see what else they can say!" Li Yue gritted his teeth while shaking his son in his arms.

"Will they say that it's Li Yue's credit that we can open the factory?" Jiang Yuexiu asked after thinking a little more.

The family fell silent again.

There have always been a lot of rumors in the village. For example, the hostess of the family four or five families away from them is said to be a prostitute. Many people say that she pays 30 yuan a time. For example, the engagement in their village ruined the marriage. It is said that the beautiful girl dressed up in a rickshaw rides on a rickshaw when she goes out and goes home. It is said that she is surrounded by a rich man... They have heard a lot of such things, and they know that some are true and some are fake, but they never expected that Something like this will happen to you.

For this reason, when they visited relatives afterwards, they always felt that something was wrong, and after a few days, Zhu Chengcai heard about it from a friend of his—his friend patted him on the shoulder, Let him take care of his wife better.

What is it called?Jiang Yuexiu has been with him all the time, and now she draws and draws at home without taking them out!What else do you want her to do?

Zhu Chengcai had a fight with his friend, and his friendship was lost. At the same time, more people seemed to be convinced that this was true.

Just at this time, Li Yue approached Zhu Chengcai and wanted to give Jiang Yuexiu 5.00% of the garment factory's shares.

"Boss? How is this possible?" Li Yue gave a red envelope during the Chinese New Year, but now he gives shares?Zhu Chengcai was really terrified. Thinking of that rumor, he felt that he would not be able to cleanse himself by jumping into the Yellow River.

"It's nothing. If it weren't for Jiang Yuexiu's design drawings, the garment factory would not be able to make it so big now. I still want to thank you." Li Yue smiled. Since he has already made a decision, even if he feels distressed, he You have to be patient.

"boss……"

"Why are you unfamiliar? It's okay. Isn't there a saying called technology investment? You are now technology investment." Li Yue didn't see Zhu Chengcai's strange behavior, but thought that the other party was too happy and panicked. There have been times like this.

Do you want to tell a man that there are rumors that something is wrong with you and my wife?In the end, Zhu Chengcai didn't say anything, and somehow, he got the shares that fell from the sky.

After returning home, he discussed with Jiang Yuexiu for a long time, and finally decided to treat the rumors as non-existent—they are people who have seen the world now, and they don't care about the opinions of people around them as much as before. If this place can't go on, it's a big deal Just go to a big city and buy a house and be a city dweller!

Seeing such a change in his parents, Zhu Yunxuan didn't know whether he should be sad or happy. If Zhu Chengcai and his wife could think so in their previous life... Even if they were angry with him, they couldn't have been angry for so long, right?
