Chapter 1225 Beer

When Han Li was teasing Xiao Liang in the yard, Han's father, who learned that his son had returned home, came back from get off work early.

"Dad"

Han Li saw his father coming back and hurried to greet him. The old man was not good at expressing his emotions.

Han's father's eyes were excited. After looking at Han Li carefully, he patted his shoulder and said.

"Not bad, not bad, but the way you hold the child is still so bad. It's hot and uncomfortable for you to hold the child like this. Let me hold it after I wash my face."

Han Li smiled silly and said, "It's because you and my mother are too good to our son. I don't need to intervene in these trivial matters."

Han Li held his father a little, and watched him go to the sink to wash his hands and face with a smile.

Han's father hadn't washed his face yet, and his eldest brother-in-law Dai Jingan came in pushing a bicycle.

"Little brother."

"Brother-in-law is here, where's Zhuangzhuang."

Dai Jing'an: "He's at home with grandma. I came here directly from work after work."

Han Li: "Brother-in-law, please sit down and have a cup of tea to cool down your sweat."

Unexpectedly, brother-in-law waved his hand and didn't sit down, and asked Han's father who was wiping his face.

"Dad, where are the two large thermoses at home? Little brother doesn't like to drink strong alcohol, and it's hard to buy iced bottled beer at this time. I'll go get some beer."

Han's father was washing towels at the sink, and raised his head after hearing what his son-in-law said.

"It's on top of the kitchen cabinet, but those two big thermoses are not enough for us to drink. You should also bring the thermoses in the east and west wing.

By the way, when you get beer, don't go to the south, because it's mixed with water. Go to the north, the quality is the best, but there are the most people getting beer there, so you have to run fast on the way or you won't be able to get it."

Dai Jingan: "Okay, Dad, I'll go get beer right away."

[In the early 1980s, Sijiu City set up many points to sell loose beer, and started selling it every afternoon.

At the beginning, loose beer was sold for 20 cents a liter, and then gradually increased to 40 to 50 cents a liter.

The minimum purchase is one liter, because the seller does not provide utensils, and the person who gets beer needs to bring their own utensils.

At first, everyone carried thermoses and plastic bottles to get beer, but plastic bottles would ruin the taste of the beer, and soon no one used them.

The basic sound of pouring beer has been replaced by a thermos. A small thermos can hold about two liters of beer, and a large thermos can hold about four liters of beer.

You can flexibly carry the corresponding utensils to pour beer according to the number of people drinking at home and the money in your pocket.

If you see someone holding a pot to pour beer when pouring beer, it means that his wife and family don’t like the taste. He himself has little say at home and likes to drink a few sips. The pot with a lid becomes their tool for pouring beer.

In the summer evenings, those who pour watered beer or increased-price beer mostly curse while drinking. The phrase "beer is like horse urine" comes from the mouths of people in Sijiucheng.

Everyone curses today and continues to line up to buy it tomorrow. No matter how much beer Sijiucheng produces, it is not enough to sell.

It is precisely because of this situation of supply and demand that many units that were originally unrelated to beer have entered this industry.

Seeing others carrying a load is easy, but carrying a load yourself is tiring. These units that rashly enter, due to various reasons such as investment and technology, most of the products they produce are "sparkling wine".

This kind of "sparkling wine" was not recognized by anyone and had no market, but the money had already been invested. If the money for raw materials was lost, the leaders of those units could still bear it, but they could not bear the responsibility of letting the money for buying machines go down the drain.

The leaders who were smart and did not want to lose the opportunity to rise began to think of ways, whether it was going against the current or surviving from death.

Some units used the machines for producing beer to produce some fruit wine, or fruit champagne, which was popular for a long time in the 1980s. When the family got married, two bottles would be served on the table for women and children.

If the situation continued to develop in this way, these fruit champagnes would really be successful, but unfortunately, bad money drove out good money, and these factory directors were finally defeated by those fruit wine factories that relied entirely on fruit flavors. 】

——

Let's get back to the point. After my brother-in-law Dai Jing'an took the thermos to get beer, Xiaoliang was taken over by Han's father, and the two of them sat under the osmanthus tree and chatted.

Han Li has talked about his situation in England twice today, and he will talk about it again with his brother-in-law and He Mi when he eats.

So Han Li consciously led the topic to the direction that his father liked, such as whether he had taken a fancy to any birds recently.

When talking about this, Han's father was very angry, saying that the original bird market in Fuchengmen was banned in August, the second month after Han Li went abroad.

It seems that it was because a technical secondary school student named Wang Li who lived nearby wrote several letters to the relevant departments, saying that the environment of the bird market was dirty and messy, the public security was not good, it affected the city appearance, and affected nearby residents, etc.

Although the authorities did not close the bird market directly, nor did they deal with the vendors operating there.

But the address of the bird market was directly changed to the vicinity of the Grand Theater, which made Han's father have to walk a long way every time he wanted to go shopping.

In addition to these, Han's father also proudly talked about the situation of goldfish in the past year.

The goldfish that Han Li brought back at the beginning, under the careful care of Han's father, bred a lot of goldfish.

The money from the sales is enough to support Han’s father’s smoking and drinking as much as he wants this year.

While the two men were chatting enthusiastically, the eldest brother-in-law came back from playing beer outside.

Mother Han, eldest sister, and Xiaomei Qi were almost busy in the kitchen. They all sat together and chatted. Even though it was getting dark, they still had no intention of eating.

It wasn't until Mother Han felt that the time was almost up and she checked her watch that she asked others to go to the kitchen to serve dishes and set bowls.

However, Han Li carried Xiao Liang and walked out of the street gate at his mother's signal. After he came out and stood by Haizi, he saw He Mi who had rushed back from school after school.

"millet grains"

He Mi, who was in a hurry to go home, didn't pay attention to other places. When she heard this familiar name and followed the sound, her eyes were full of surprise. Tears were already flowing from her eyes when she ran towards Han Li. come out.

Because there were already some people coming out to enjoy the cool weather near Haizi at this time, He Mi stopped the car at the last step before throwing herself into Han Li's arms.

He Mi was now separated from Han Li by Xiao Liang. She looked at her man with surprise and resentment on her face and was about to speak when Han Li spoke.

"Xiaomili, you have worked hard during this period. Not only do you have to go to school, but you also take good care of our son."

After Han Li's words were spoken, He Mi had a smile on her face and tears in her eyes. If the place hadn't been inappropriate, she would have
