Chapter Forty-Eight: All Relatives
Under Dai Ping's disappointed eyes, the three-wheeled motorcycle continued to drive forward.
Until the end, Li Zhe was the only one left in the car.
"Li family boy, it's at your doorstep. I don't know how long it took, Zhong Jianmin's voice sounded.
Li Zhe took out a ten-yuan bill and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Zhong." ”
It stands to reason that this kind of three-wheeled motorcycle will generally only stop on the side of the road and will not send people to the door, and now Zhong Jianmin's behavior is undoubtedly deliberately helping Li Zhe.
Zhong Jianmin smiled and said: "Thank you, that girl is not pleasing to my eyes, she looks down on people, or you are so good at reading books, as soon as you open your mouth, you will play her around." ”
Li Zhe's situation, the people in the car don't know, but he, Zhong Jianmin, knows it clearly, obviously he is a student, where will he be an employee of a Fortune 500 foreign company?
When Zhong Jianmin left at the poll, Li Zhe also turned his head to look at his home.
This is an ordinary rural bungalow, with fruits and vegetables planted in front of the house, and there are peach trees and grapefruit trees on the left and right sides.
"Woohoo!" the dog barked.
A yellow dog heard the movement outside, and rushed out instantly, and when it found that it was Li Zhe, it immediately stopped shouting, made a 'woo' sound, and wagged its tail around Li Zhe.
"Xiao Zhe?" a middle-aged woman wearing an apron walked out with a spatula in her hand, a look of surprise on her face.
Seeing his mother Zhang Xinhua, Li Zhe had mixed feelings in his heart, compared to ten years later, his mother looks much younger at this time, you can imagine how much hard work she has gone through in the past ten years.
"Mom, I'm back. Li Zhe said.
Zhang Xinhua put down the spatula, walked over and helped Li Zhe with the bag, and said, "It's the road, drink some water, and you can eat right away." ”
"Mom, I'll just do it myself. Li Zhe picked up the bag, walked into the living room, then looked around and said, "Where's Dad?"
"Someone in the village is building a house, and your dad has gone to help them. Zhang Xinhua said.
Li Zhe nodded and put his backpack into the room.
"Xiao Zhe, drink some water first, I still have two dishes in the pot, and it will be fine soon." Zhang Xinhua picked up the spatula again and went into the kitchen.
Li Zhe looked at the house, his eyes showed a look of nostalgia, in the last life, after Li Zhe worked for two years, after having a sum of savings, this house was replaced by a three-story small western-style building.
In addition, Li Zhe usually goes to school and works in other places, and rarely comes back, even if he takes his parents to the city during the Chinese New Year, most of his impressions of this house are still stuck in junior high school.
Evening.
When Li Chunye returned home, when he saw Li Zhe, a smile appeared on his honest face, and he said, "Xiao Zhe has a holiday today?"
"It's been back for a long time, I know that my son is coming back today, and I don't see you, and people build houses and don't give you money, why are you so active?" Zhang Xinhua walked out with a pot of chicken and said dissatisfied.
Li Chunye said with a smile: "It's all from the villagers, what money does it have or not, and besides, I didn't help much, so I just helped him demolish a house." ”
"Alright, let's wash our hands and eat. Zhang Xinhua urged.
At the dining table, Zhang Xinhua said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Zhe, I know that you are coming back, and I specially killed a chicken for you, you can taste it." ”
Li Chunye picked up a piece of radish and said, "Xiao Zhe, how are the results of the final exam this time?" Are you sure that you will be admitted to university?"
Li Zhe smiled: "It's okay, there are sixteen in the class, and it should be no problem to take the undergraduate exam." ”
Hearing this, Li Chunye and Zhang Xinhua glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces.
"That's good, it's good to be in. Li Chunye nodded again and again, "When you finish college, you will take the civil service exam, and then you will be considered to be outstanding." ”
Li Zhe couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, civil servants are so obsessed, they really don't know how to speak in the future, just don't make a fuss like in their previous life.
In this way, Li Zhe just read books every day at home, dealt with the company's affairs by the way, and spent a few days of leisurely time.
There are a few peers in the village, after graduating from junior high school, they went to work in other places, especially to Guangdong Province and the Yangtze River Delta.
Back in the village, these people have no other hobbies, and basically get together to play cards every day.
"Zhezi, come out to play cards!" At the door of the house, a former junior high school classmate passed by and saw Li Zhe and immediately sent out an invitation.
Li Zhe shook his head with a smile and said, "Forget it, I won't play, you can fight." ”
This junior high school classmate had a toothpick in his mouth, but he still didn't give up, and said in an educational tone: "What's the point of staying at home every day? You are so easy to get out of touch with society and become a nerd, do you know?"
Li Zhe smiled, didn't argue with him, and turned back to the house.
Soon, Chinese New Year's Eve came, and Li Zhe's family of three sat in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala while eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Li Zhe has no impression of the 2011 Spring Festival Gala at all, and the only thing he still remembers is the song "In the Spring" sung by Rising Sun, and it is this song that made the grassroots migrant worker group instantly popular all over the Internet.
It was soon twelve o'clock.
At this time, Li Zhe's mobile phone had already begun to receive New Year's text messages, including Xia Hongwu, classmates, Zhu Yuhan, Hu Yue, Li Xiaoqian and other company employees, and even Zhou Guohua, who only had a two-sided relationship, also sent him New Year's greeting text messages.
"Xiao Zhe, it doesn't seem that your previous mobile phone is this, right?" Zhang Xinhua saw his son's mobile phone, and his face showed doubt.
Li Zhe didn't plan to hide the mobile phone, because he had to use the mobile phone for too much time, and he couldn't hide it at all, so he had to find an excuse and said: "It turned out that the mobile phone was broken, and now this is the mobile phone that my classmates eliminated, and I bought it for three hundred yuan." ”
Zhang Xinhua frowned and said: "Why don't you tell your family if it's broken, and buy a mobile phone used by your classmates, so what should your classmates think of you?"
Li Zhe said helplessly: "It's okay, just use it." ”
After replying to the text messages one by one, Li Zhe went back to his room and fell asleep.
The next day, Li Zhe woke up to the sound of firecrackers.
"Xiao Zhe, get up quickly, there is a guest at home. Before Li Zhe got up, Zhang Xinhua's knock sounded outside the room.
Li Zhe shook his head helplessly and began to get up and get dressed.
in the living room.
"Son, haven't you never come out to pay New Year's greetings before, how did you change sex this time?" a middle-aged woman whispered to a tall fat man next to her.
The fat man coughed lightly and said seriously: "They are all relatives, and it is natural to walk around during the New Year." ”
