My daughter was two years old when I first moved to the fourth floor to be her neighbor. Her husband Li Xiong and I are both in the sales company. I'm in the reception room and he's in the finished product warehouse. Her husband is a cadre of the army battalion who changed jobs. It seems that he entered the factory one year later than me. "Wu Sao" entered the factory with her husband who came out of the army. In the unit, I, like me, belong to the kind of person who has no foundation. Among a group of old neighbors who have been risking their lives in the factory for generations, it is easier for us to get familiar with and talk.
She is very simple, how can she have such a coquettish title? Because she called me "leprechaun" from time to time. I tried to find out what she meant by "goblin". After a long period of careful analysis, I didn't find out whether she praised or belittled, but I felt a kind of kindness. I also unceremoniously nicknamed her "the witch's sister-in-law" until now.
Although the "witch's sister-in-law" was a family member of the army, at that time, only Li Xiong's job was arranged in the factory, and she was waiting for her post. She spends more time in the family hospital, but she never talks about other people's family, which I like very much. We have been close in recent years, but we have a house. We sometimes eat together, but we all know how to keep a proper distance, so we have never had a difficult experience.
"Sister-in-law" is a superb chef of northern pasta, and the dishes, pancakes, noodles and steamed buns are all first-class. For me, who grew up at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains and was weaker than making all kinds of pasta, I can only admire and admire.
She played a very important role in guiding me to like northern pasta and learn cooking. When I go home, she often stops me on the third floor and says that she has cooked my meal and you're welcome. If I buy vegetables, I will definitely leave one for the third floor. I feel like a family.
When we first became neighbors, her son Jun Jun was still young and in primary school. I remember once, because Jun Jun was not sensible enough, he secretly took a snack in the factory store and broke himself. However, Li Xiong, the husband of the witch's sister-in-law, has just returned from the army and worked in the finished product warehouse of the sales company. The shop in the factory belongs to the trade union, and the chairman of the trade union is cheating. Whether it's education or coming to Li. Who knows that they handed Jun Jun over to the president of the branch school, and the president of the branch school reprimanded Li Xiong in public, which made Li Xiong feel very embarrassed. On the same day, he carried forward the highly effective revolutionary style of the soldiers, beat Jun Jun mercilessly, and howled Jun Jun. Li Xiong is still Japanese, and my sister-in-law hurried over to persuade Li Xiong. Imagine that I am younger than them. How can I convince him?
Looking at my sister-in-law's expectant eyes and feeling her anxious mood, I continued to talk to her. When I took the door, Li Xiong was looking for a stick or something. Jun Jun was beside the bed. I quickly pulled Jun Jun and asked my sister-in-law to take Jun Jun to my house to play for a while. I chatted with Li Xiong for a while. Brother Li was very sad and said in disappointment, "Swallow, alas, you don't know. What a shame. You said that I transferred from the army to the factory, and the arranged work was already very bad. He still didn't meet expectations? Do you know how I feel when the headmaster lectured me like a grandson today? "
I remember I understood his reply at that time: "Children are too young, just educate them, and you can't play too much, which is counterproductive."
Brother Li replied to me: "This child is too disappointing. You said that I am not as good as people, and he is still so ignorant! " I was very excited, comforted him for a while, and then talked about work.
Since then, Li Xiong's attitude towards children has become extremely bad, and he often viciously beats children. There are still some unsatisfactory factors that he is not satisfied with. Because my sister-in-law came out with the army, I couldn't persuade her, mainly because I was afraid to speak. I'm afraid Jun Jun will run away from home. When my eldest brother loses his temper, she will come to me. I dare say that Li Xiong was also persuaded by some grandiose language, while Li Xiong is like a couple who can't get into oil and salt. It is often this time that I am temporarily persuaded not to fight, and I will fight harder next time.
Once my sister-in-law rushed to me. When we ran down, we saw Li Xiong take a kettle off the coal stove and try to scald Jun Jun with boiling water. Jun Jun was surprised and stood at the window of the living room. I was scared, too. My sister-in-law once told me privately that Jun Jun had a tendency to run away from home. My subconscious mind at that time was to effectively stop this situation. I was angry at that time and shouted, "Sister-in-law, you and Jun Jun go upstairs!"
My sister-in-law took Jun Jun away, and I angrily threatened Li Ge: "Li Ge, do you believe it or not? I will tell you the atrocities of beating children at home in the reception room and let everyone comment on your good skills. "
Li Xiong stupidly for a while, then quietly sat down and called me to sit down.
Throwing caution to the wind, I continued to do it, and then said, "Li Ge, I never made it clear, for fear of hurting your face. But you've gone too far with Jun Jun, and now it's your frustration and dissatisfaction with Jun Jun. I think Jun Jun is a little dragged down by you about the store. If you are a middle-level cadre in the factory, imagine that the chairman of the trade union dares to hand over the children to the principal? Does the headmaster dare to teach you a lesson in public? You know Jun Jun has the idea of running away from home. My sister-in-law is worried. I'm starting to get scared. Aren't you afraid? "
Brother Li said plainly: "I know that I have been in the army for a long time, and I don't understand the current social rules or the attitude of the leaders." Otherwise, your sister-in-law's job can't be solved now? "
We later talked about the factory leaders and had a very speculative conversation.
Later, because Li Ge beat Jun Jun, my sister-in-law never came to see me again, and she began to get along well in the company. He didn't like the manager of the sales company at first, but he began to get closer to the manager of the sales company and have more work exchanges. The manager is also curious about how Li Ge changed sex. I realized that he had to adapt for his sister-in-law and his son, so that he could survive.
At the end of that year, Li Ge was promoted as the director of the finished product warehouse, which was much more cheerful. Every weekend, when my husband comes back from the army, Li Ge will propose drinking, either at his house or at my house.
Sister-in-law and I became closer and taught me to bake lunch boxes, wrap jiaozi and steam steamed buns.
She often comes to check my pasta. Is it qualified or not? What are the disadvantages?
Later, my sister-in-law's work was also implemented, and she was responsible for managing the female bathhouse in the factory.
1998, after I left my job and went to Yunnan to do marketing for half a year, my daughter was taken full-time care of by my husband. On Sunday, as soon as my husband took her home, my sister-in-law took my daughter to the bathhouse to take a bath and change clothes. She never said anything sarcastic.
My daughter often praises the "witch's sister-in-law" on the phone and says, "Mom, my aunt is very kind to me. She is more patient than you in combing my hair and taking a bath."
Three months later, I will go back to Xianyang from Kunming for my holiday. My husband, who has always been indifferent to human relations, asked me to bring a gift to the witch's sister-in-law. Actually, it goes without saying that I will also bring gifts. How many times have I known that she took my daughter to the bathhouse? My gratitude is beyond words. Six months later, I took my daughter to Kunming to attend kindergarten. Before that, in the first half of the year, the troubles of "the witch's sister-in-law" really made me feel warm and at ease, and silently helped me with my work. I will remember that gratitude all my life.
Later, I heard that Li Xiong became the director of the reception room and Jun Jun went to be a soldier. Two years later, Jun Jun was demobilized and placed in a state-owned enterprise in the city, and his work was satisfactory.
In 1999, I bought an auction house in Xianyang commercial and residential area. In 2002, I came back from Kunming and lived in the family building of the factory for one year. That year, I got along well with the "witch's sister-in-law", like sisters. I moved away in 2003. After living separately, I was not used to it for a long time. After a while, I will not be afraid of distance, and then I will "kill" her, and she will be very happy!
In 2007, four buildings in our North Campus were demolished and the fund-raising house was rebuilt. As the original tenants, we preferred the second house, and we chose the same building and adjacent units.
On August 8th, 20 10, my sister-in-law and Jun Jun got married. On the first day of their marriage, I went to her house. As soon as I entered the gate of the North Yard, Brother Li came and took my hand. I can't make money, and I have been dragging me into my child's new house. The new house is fashionable and the goods are exquisite. The wedding photos of the newly married wife are very beautiful. It can be seen that the bride's floor is very good. Li Ge was a little excited and his eyes lit up. I feel relieved and want to cry. I quickly said, "I'm going to see my sister-in-law."
When I met my sister-in-law, I joked with her and said, "Li Ge took my hand for so long and walked in through the gate. I don't think Wusao would mind, so my brother dragged her into the child's new house. "
The witch's sister-in-law smiled and said, "Who doesn't know who?" ! "
Sister-in-law's wedding for her son Jun Jun was really ostentatious, with 70 tables, 10 table. The new wife is very beautiful and generous. In-laws are also very capable. People doing business in the county are very frank, open-minded and popular. There are 20 guests in the woman's house. The wedding is very unique. The host not only speaks well, but also sings well. A few dynamic songs, together with the host's singing and dancing, aroused the dance interest of the dance masters in the factory. There is a luxurious ballroom in our factory, where many martial arts masters dance together. This wedding really makes my sister-in-law very proud. I am very happy for "the witch's sister-in-law"!
Now calling her "the witch's sister-in-law" is more emboldened. She has a five-year-old granddaughter who shows off everywhere. She is really an old witch. After Jun Jun got married, I went to scare the witch's sister-in-law. I said: Married, Li Ge was dancing to the music there, as if you were getting married! But I didn't know big brother seemed to be able to dance. When do you ask him to dance, you witch won't mind, will you? "
Sister-in-law smiled again and said, "Make an appointment quickly, lest you always lose at cards!" " "
After a while, the witch and sister-in-law will come to my house to play and drink together, or we can go back to the factory and get something to eat at her house.
If I haven't seen her for a while, the witch's sister-in-law will call me and scold me for not going to see her. This request may last a lifetime, but I feel very warm.
