Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

Chapter 4, Zhang Xuan, I want to be your brother-in-law



The road was so crowded that Zhang Xuan and his son squeezed from the hospital to the Shimen Station intersection out of the town. They almost suffocated and broke into a sweat.

After finally finding an open space along the street, the two hurriedly put down their luggage, took a few breaths, and waited eagerly for the farm tractor to pick up the passengers.

Before the release, Ruan Xiuqin was reluctant to take the bus back to the village because it cost one yuan per person. But after taking a look at Manzai, who had thin skin and tender flesh, she compromised this time.

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, the farm tractor did not arrive, but a small three-wheeler came.

As soon as the tricycle stopped in front of the two of them, the driver wearing a dog hat seemed to know Ruan Xiuqin and shouted to the two of them: "Ruan Xiuqin, your son is back. Are you going back to Shangcun?"

Ruan Xiuqin leaned forward and asked, "How much is it?"

The driver with the dog hat looked at the pile of groceries on the ground: "Four yuan, including people and goods."

Ruan Xiuqin took back his body and suddenly stopped talking. I thought that the salary was only 12 yuan, which cost one-third of my salary. Why not grab it?

The driver with the dog hat didn't give up and shouted again: "Ruan Xiuqin, please stop being so annoying. It's windy and snowing. Don't freeze your college student son. Get in the car and leave."

When he heard someone praising his son, Ruan Xiuqin answered the question again: "It's snowy and the road is slippery. Is your tricycle safe?"

The driver in the dog hat patted his chest: "Don't worry, it's just a little snow. I've made several trips today. Come up quickly."

Ruan Xiuqin looked at the road leading to Shangcun. The snow had just fallen and it was indeed not thick, so he said: "Two dollars and a half. If that's OK, I'll get in the car."

The driver with the dog hat immediately opened his eyes wide, "Ruan Xiuqin, why are you so picky? It's a 10-mile journey. This little money will take you back. I don't even have enough gas money. Why are you letting our whole family drink from the northwest wind?"

Ruan Xiuqin stopped moving again and glanced elsewhere.

The driver in the dog hat was angry, raised his hand and said: "Three and a half dollars, get in the car."

Ruan Xiuqin opened her mouth thinly: "Three yuan."

The dog-hat driver wanted to speak again, but suddenly a Honda motorcycle approached, interrupting him.

The motorcycle driver is Ouyang Yong, the only motorcycle in Shangcun. It costs 10 yuan each time to pick up and drop off guests. At such a price, business is actually pretty good. If something urgent happens, people in several nearby villages like to call him.

Ouyang Yong, who was wearing a leather jacket, greeted Ruan Xiuqin warmly as "Auntie, auntie" as soon as he got off the car. Then he winked at Zhang Xuan, then smiled and picked up the luggage on the ground and loaded it on the motorcycle.

Seeing this, the dog-hatted driver next to him became anxious: "Ruan Xiuqin, three yuan, get in the car!"

Ruan Xiuqin refused and said: "Forget it, let's wait for another day."

The driver with the dog hat got angry and stepped on the accelerator angrily. The tricycle sped away with a "crazy" sound.

In order to pursue Zhang Ping in the past two years, this is not the first time that Ouyang Yong has become familiar with her.

Ruan Xiuqin and Zhang Xuan felt embarrassed at first and were reluctant to ride in someone else's cheap car. But now that I sit too much, I feel numb.

Ruan Xiuqin helped tie the luggage and asked kindly: "How is your business today?"

Ouyang Yong said: "I have sent four passengers away."

Ruan Xiuqin was startled after hearing this, and then hesitated a little: "Recently, there are many people returning to their hometowns to work outside. It is the best time for your business. How about you go to business first and leave us alone."

Ouyang Yong raised his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I'll take you home first."

Since there were too many sundries to load in one trip, Ruan Xiuqin was driven away on the motorcycle first.

The weather was too cold, and waiting was the most painful thing. Zhang Xuan stamped his feet and sighed in his hands, his eyes involuntarily attracted by the waves of returning guests.

Listen to them brag, listen to them talk about how much money they make, listen to them talk about the prosperous world outside, and talk about the young ladies outside...

Although he knew that most of these people were unhappy and had a hard life outside, seeing their high spirits at the moment, Zhang Xuan still smiled knowingly and listened quietly.

Somehow, as a human again, Zhang Xuan had the patience to listen to these tired birds returning to their nests and fish swimming back to chatter, feeling that life was really not easy.

After waiting for almost 20 minutes, Ouyang Yong returned. I don’t have much stuff this time, so I’ll just get in the car.

As the motorcycle started to move, Ouyang Yong asked: "How come you were discharged from the hospital today? Didn't you say it would take a few more days?"

After the car started moving, the wind was a bit strong, and Zhang Xuan had no choice but to say loudly, "Thank you for your concern, I am cured." He was afraid that he would not be able to hear.

After walking for a while, a group of cattle crossed the road ahead. Ouyang Yong stopped for a while and asked, "Did Yang Ende send your sister to the hospital yesterday?"

Hehe..., after hearing this question, Zhang Xuan felt like this at the moment.

Zhang Xuan said, "It seems so, I didn't pay attention."

The scalper left and the motorcycle restarted. Ouyang Yong was silent for a while, then suddenly summoned the courage to ask: "Zhang Xuan, how about me being your brother-in-law?"

Zhang Xuan looked at his back and pretended not to hear: "What did you say? The wind was too strong and I didn't hear it."

Ouyang Yong in the helmet said loudly: "How about I be your brother-in-law?"

Zhang Xuan teased him: "Which brother-in-law do you want to be? The eldest brother-in-law? Or the second brother-in-law?"

Ouyang Yong smiled, parked the car in a deserted place, took off his helmet and said to Zhang Xuan: "I like your eldest sister, of course your eldest brother-in-law, can you help me? Help me between your mother and Say something nice in front of your sister."

Upon hearing such a straightforward request, Zhang Xuan looked into his eyes seriously and asked, "What do you like about my sister?"

This was a heart-wrenching question, but Ouyang Yong couldn't understand the meaning at all. Instead, he said roughly: "I like your sister's good looks. Everyone says your sister looks like your mother. She is the most beautiful girl in our village." What a pretty girl.”

Niang Xipi knew this was the case, but if you could say it without hesitation, Zhang Xuan was convinced.

This is an era where everyone will blush when holding hands. Do you know you are ashamed of being like this, you idiot?

Zhang Xuan replied: "Have you ever heard of the saying "Beauty Yi, the old hero Chi Mu"? I'm not satisfied with your answer!"

Ouyang Yong was embarrassed when faced with this literary and artistic person's difficulties, but he was thick-skinned, so he was embarrassed for a moment, and then said: "Our whole family thinks that your sister is well-behaved and sensible, and she will be a good wife in the future."

"..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan felt a little nostalgic for future generations. Twenty years later, a primary school student would be able to talk about love better than these two fools. That's enough!

Seeing Zhang Xuan didn't speak, Ouyang Yong thought he disagreed, so he became anxious and immediately expressed his stance: "I will be good to your sister, please help me."

Then he added, "I will be good to your family."

Is this urgent?

Oh, forget it, no need to embarrass anyone, Zhang Xuan asked: "Do you really like my eldest sister?"

Ouyang Yong nodded fiercely: "I really like her. I have been chasing her for two years."

Zhang Xuan said: "Yes, you have been chasing her for two years and you still haven't caught her. Your mousse is in vain and your leather shoes are in vain. What a shameful waste!"

Ouyang Yong blushed a little and asked, "Then how should I chase him?"

Zhang Xuan pointed to his nose and said, "Ask me? I'm so much younger than you, are you embarrassed?"

Ouyang Yong was not ashamed but proud: "You are so good at studying and you will be a college student in half a year. I don't think it is embarrassing to ask a college student."

Zhang Xuanqi smiled: "Even college students may not be able to fall in love."

Ouyang Yongtian said shamelessly: "Isn't it said that knowledge changes destiny? In my eyes, college students can change their destiny and are omnipotent."

"I!……"

Zhang Xuan turned his head and looked at this idiot who was sometimes clever and sometimes stupid. He didn't know if it was true or intentional. In the end, he had to say: "If you really like her, let your family come to propose to you first."

Hearing this, Ouyang Yong, who had been optimistic just now, was instantly discouraged: "I have a request. I have asked a matchmaker several times in the past six months. In October, my dad personally went to your house to intercede. You were not at home at that time, but your mother Didn’t let go.”

Zhang Xuan asked: "Don't your mother have a good relationship with my mother, and you don't turn a deaf ear to it?"

Ouyang Yong said: "Why didn't you let me go? My mother started telling your mother about this several years ago. She wanted your eldest sister to be my wife."

At this point, Ouyang Yong leaned forward and asked again: "We all know that your mother loves you the most. Your words will definitely work, so just help me. My brother-in-law will not treat you badly in the future."

"I don't have any skills, but I'm thick-skinned." Zhang Xuan sneered. Finally, thinking of Yang Ende's progress, he couldn't help but make a move and said in a riddle: "You have learned that "people's words are scary." These four words?"

Ouyang Yong replied subconsciously: "Yes, it's in the middle school textbook."

Zhang Xuan asked again: "Then do you understand its meaning?"

Ouyang Yong was a little confused by what he said: "Isn't it just the literal meaning?"

Zhang Xuan continued to ask: "Yes, it is a literal meaning, but do you know how to put it into real life?"

Time seemed to have pressed the pause button. Ouyang Yong stood still for a while, and finally his eyes lit up and he said to him: "Haha, I understand, I know what to do."

Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes and reminded: "Be careful and remember to keep it secret for me."

Ouyang Yong started the car and said, "I know, brother-in-law is not that stupid."

Zhang Xuan: "..."
