Chapter 256 Entering the 1980s

Chapter 256 Entering the 1980s

Four months later, mankind entered the 1980s.

On February 5, the beginning of spring, Chen Tao completed the retirement procedures and became a full-time writer.

In the more than half a year since then, his career has developed significantly.

Needless to mention the novel, his pen name "Taosheng" has caused quite a good response in the circle.

Although some people do criticize what he writes as being like toilet paper, everyone just likes to read it, they just can’t stop, and they are willing to pay real money!

In addition to writing novels, he also did a little music.

Due to the circumstances of the times, he just copied some tunes and then asked Miss Xue to write the lyrics herself.

In addition to music, there are also new music theories, which made Miss Xue successfully elected as a full professor.

And like her husband, she was also assigned a house.

Everyone in the compound didn't know about this.

It doesn't matter even if you know about it, you are not afraid of moral kidnapping.

Because he still has three children, these two apartments plus the two reverse rooms will be enough for one person.

In this way, the two widows can at most complain in their hearts, but they can't find fault with their mouths...

The fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar this year is both the Mid-Autumn Festival and the autumnal equinox.

It’s noon this day.

Chen Tao carried a snakehead fish home, weighing four pounds and seven taels.

This is not his "air force", bought in the vegetable market. Instead, they used small frogs as bait and caught them.

For this reason, he got lost near the compound for a long time.

"Old He, look at your luck! Where did you catch it?"

Yan Bugui clicked his tongue in surprise.

"Want to know where it is? Haha, let's go together with Chenghui."

Chen Tao reached out and asked for a favor fee.

"You are so rich, but you still care about my three melons and two dates?"

Yan Bugui took a step back, holding his pocket and shaking his head.

"If you don't have money to eat and spend money, you will suffer poverty if you don't plan. I have some money, but I also have many children! If I don't plan, how can I give them a better life? Just like Lao Yi, he could have retired , but still stick to his job, just to earn more money for his son."

Chen Tao used his method of calculating and scheming to treat others.

"I won't ask, okay? Fishing depends on luck. If I give you money but don't catch a fish, then I will suffer a huge loss!"

"I said, Lao Yan, don't worry about defeat before victory. You have to be stunned! It's only one dollar. Even if you don't catch a fish, it's a reasonable loss. Why can't you figure this out? No way? Do you expect that you can just catch a big fish without paying anything? No way!"

"One dollar is too much anyway, how about ten cents?"

"Is the energy I put into inspecting fishing marks worth a dime? You'd better hire someone else!"

Chen Tao turned around and left.

"No, Lao He! Let's discuss this again"

Yan Bugui still wants to catch big fish.

"Okay, I'll ask for the price first, five yuan!"

Chen Tao turned around and smiled.

"It's okay with you, I'd better catch my little fish!"

Yan Bugui gave up immediately. He actually knew very well that he could not take advantage of Chen Tao at all.

For example, in order to save money, he only bought Chen Tao's bait, but he didn't have the ability to reverse engineer it, which saved him a lot of loneliness.

Therefore, unless the price was very small, he would not take risks, lest he fall into Chen Tao's trap again.

"The small fish is also good. It tastes delicious when fried in oil."

Chen Tao chuckled, turned around and walked towards the middle courtyard again.

Today at noon, Miss Xue will not come back for dinner, so Chen Tao will not cook this double pepper blackened fish fillet yet.

Instead, he cooked a few bowls of noodles for himself and the children.

As they grew older, the three children also began to pay attention and began to study seriously.

Miss Xue felt relieved and happy all day long... It should be said that since she got together with her uncle, except for pestering him to have a child, she had no worries.

"Dad, I have something to ask you."

The boss swallowed his chopsticks and said to Chen Tao.

"Say it! As long as it's reasonable, dad will definitely agree to it."

Chen Tao encouraged.

"Wei Min, Wei Jun and I want to live in my mother's house."

Under the expectant eyes of his younger brothers, the eldest son expressed his request.

"This matter is really difficult to handle. You have to convince mom."

"My mother listens to you the most! As long as you agree, she will definitely not object. And we have grown up and should try to live independently."

"You and Weimin can go, but I guess I can't."

Chen Tao thought of himself. When he was in sixth grade, he moved to the town's elementary school as a boarding student. Now that the eldest and second child are in junior high school, they really should live independently.

But the third child was less than ten years old, and Miss Xue loved him, so how could she let him go?

"Dad, I want to live with my brothers too, please!"

The third child was anxious.

"Dad does his best, but not if mom is vehemently against it."

Chen Tao felt that there was little hope, but he could not refuse directly.

"Um!"

The third child is very sensible, of course, this is also because he has no idea about his mother.

***

afternoon.

Chen Tao was very restless and went out on his bike for a spin.

When he arrived near the north gate of Beijing Medical University, he actually saw Qin Jingru talking to a middle-aged man about thirty years old.

This gentleman is none other than the one he and Miss Xue had met back then.

Obviously, Lao Yi's head turned green.

After all, his son Guo Qing looks very similar to this man, especially his lips. They are really carved from the same mold.

Anyone who sees it will say something about his biological father and son.

Fortunately, Qin Jingru kept it secret and Yi Zhonghai had no chance to see her, so he had to live like this.

Anyway, she followed an old man like him at such a young age. Does it really matter whether the child is her biological child?

Almost done (mung beans sweat)!

Chen Tao did not intend to remind him and continued to respect the fate of others.

She is also not a good wife and will not use this to blackmail Qin Jingru into submission.

Just pretend you didn’t see it!

After that, Chen Tao continued riding, heading west and south to Miss Xue’s school.

In Professor Xue's office, Chen Tao drank tea and chatted with his wife's colleagues.

Chen Tao, the "great writer", was already very familiar with these teachers.

It was about half past four.

Miss Xue finished her lecture and rode home with Chen Tao.

Chen Tao doesn't like the cars these days, so he doesn't want to find connections to get one.

At least he would have to wait until 1984, when the famous Crown car enters the country, before he would consider buying it.

Of course, it's just a matter of consideration.

Because he plans to go to Hong Kong Island to do some business in the middle of next year. By 1984, he will at least have a Mercedes-Benz W126. Otherwise, won't it be a traffic jam?

night.

Chen Tao's family reunited to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

And Shazhu, the "son-in-law", naturally spends the holidays with the Jia family.

For now, Bangge can eat at the same table with him, but the two of them still have nothing in common.

what's the topic?

Bangge learns to play movies, Shazhu learns to cook; Bangge likes fishing, Shazhu likes drinking, taking medicine, sleeping with his mother...

How the hell are we talking about this?

Over at the Yi family, the family of three still took Aunt Yi with them.

Qin Jingru didn't mind, after all, she had just met her child's biological father.

Speaking of which, she was really lucky. If she hadn't made up her mind at the beginning, she would probably have no children now, and would she have to live alone in the future?

Therefore, she felt more and more that she was doing the right thing, and she felt less and less guilty about Yi Zhonghai.

After all, it was Lao Yi who couldn't give birth, and it wasn't that she didn't want to give birth.

It's all his own fault!

Yan's house in the front yard.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is not the Spring Festival, and the three brothers Jiefang, Xie Kuang and Jie Di will not come back to join in the fun.

Only Yan Jiecheng's family can spend the festival with Yanbu's elderly couple.

However, even so, they will still make calculations about who to buy groceries.

I have to say that the Yan family's family tradition is too problematic.

That doesn't mean there should be no scheming between family members.

But if we care about each other like this, it would be better to live forever and not have any contact with each other!

Are you tired?

Not really tired!

For the Yan family, there is an old saying that not only is calculation not tiring, but it is a battle of wits and courage, and it is fun.

It's absolutely amazing.

Backyard, Liu's house.

Now, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu haven't divided their rooms yet, so they still try to please their parents and spend the holidays with them.

Although Liu Haizhong was disgusted, he did not drive the children away after all.

Xu family.

Xu Damao was drinking alone and enjoying himself.

***

"Well, you two brothers can live there, but the third child certainly can't. He is still young and has to stay with his mother."

After learning that the children wanted to be independent, Miss Xue did not agree to the third child's request, just as Chen Tao expected.

"Thank you mom"

The boss was beaming and very happy.

The third child had a sad face and motioned to his father for help with his eyes.

Chen Tao nodded slightly and said:

"Xiao Ling, the third child is quite sensible, why not let him try? The boss and second child will also take care of him."

Miss Xue said angrily: "You are too spoiled to the third child! He is so young, how can he leave us? If the quilt is kicked off at night, do I have to ride a bike to take care of him?"

He looked at the third child again and said earnestly: "It's not that mom doesn't allow you to go, it's just that you are too young! When you get to my brother's age, I will definitely let you go."

The third child pouted: "Mom I understand."

Miss Xue is very satisfied.

The children are healthy, have good academic performance, and are very sensible, which makes her mother very happy.

Her efforts to pester her uncle to have a child were not in vain.

at night.

Miss Xue hugged her uncle and sighed quietly:

"People can't have children if they want them, but you don't want children..."

Chen Tao smiled and said, "This life is too short to live solely for your children. Besides, even if you want to be good to your children, they may not be happy with it! Just like these few in our family, they are destined to be extraordinary. , how can you tie them up in a greenhouse? When the wind of the times blows, you have to let them fly as high and far as they like. This is the best thing for them!"

Miss Xue said with tears: "But you sent them all abroad. What should I do if I miss them? No, you have to give me another child to keep me by your side."

Chen Tao hugged her with his backhand: "Can I give it to you after these three boys are arranged?"

Miss Xue turned from crying into laughing: "That's pretty much it!"
