Chapter 11: Two New Houses
I can't help but be excited.
Even before the crossing, more than six dollars was not a small amount of money for him. What's more, in this egg is only six or seven cents a pound, it only takes less than 3,000 years to build a house in 92 years.
The important thing is that whether it is in this life or in the previous life, this is the first money he has earned with his own hands and the city.
With this joy, Li Xian embarked on the return road of the Eighty-Nine Forest Farm.
After more than five hours of bouncing on the rugged mountain road, I arrived home just in time for dinner. But when he sent the tricycle back to Gao Ming, and walked home with Li Pi, Li Xian found that there was no food at home.
Only the old lady Li Daoyun and Li Lingling were holding two big bowls in the stove room, snoring and pulling vegetable soup to make rice.
"Master, what about my dad and my mom?"
Li Xian came back in a hurry, he didn't eat at noon, took a big bowl from the bowl rack and rubbed it next to Li Daoyun, and asked while scooping rice from the pot.
Li Daoyun pointed to the west with chopsticks: "Take Wang Feng away." ”
Li Xian held the bowl, and then remembered that his sister-in-law had been back to her parents' house for almost ten days.
In fact, Li You and Zou Ni have gone to Wang's house with Li Qing to pick up twice in the past few days, but the purpose of starting a new house has been obvious, and Wang Feng, who plans to break the jar, is now iron-hearted.
The purpose is clear, the conditions are tough: no two rooms, never go!
For this, Li You went twice to say peace in person to no avail. For this reason, the atmosphere at home has been very bad in the past two days. It's just that he was busy with his own money-making business, and Li Xian didn't pay attention to it.
Thinking of this, Li Xian put down his rice bowl and wiped his face with a towel.
"Master, you eat first, I'll go over and take a look. ”
Li Pi on the side saw him get up, and also put the big bowl on the stove: "I'll go too!"
......
Along the path of the forest farm, Li Xian and Li Pi came to Wang Feng's house in Xitou after a short while.
Although life has been more prosperous in the past few years, the old Wang family is still the last family in the forest farm.
looked at the two grass houses of Lao Wang's family where a family of nine lived, Li Xian couldn't help but want Li Qing to divorce and marry again - squeezing a kang with his parents at home, he is not a person who has not lived a hard life, and now he has to build a new house in a brick house.
Thinking about it from this point of view, Wang Feng is really like Li You said: I can eat enough for a few days!
With a dog barking, Li Xian and Li Pi came to the courtyard. Before I could enter the house, I heard a noise inside.
It was Wang Feng's voice.
"Mom, Dad. Don't talk so much, it's useless! That's right, Li Lingling is now supported by you. But how many years can you raise? It's not that I'm sarcastic, the second and fourth of your family are all young men, and getting married and starting a family is enough for your family to drink a pot.
Doesn't I still have to pay for Li Lingling's schooling? I'm a big girl, and I'm going to be a stepmother at your house, do I have to plan for myself?
I'm not afraid of other people's jokes, just laugh at the jokes. Anyway, I want two brick houses, get up, and I'll go back with Li Qing to live. I'm sorry, you guys give me the formalities, I don't have much to think about these days.
By the way, if you don't have any money, you can do it. Although the old house is a little old, there are two rooms in height and the yard is big enough. ”
In the room, Li You and Zou Ni were speechless for a long time, and then sighed twice.
Hearing this, the fire in Li Xian's heart came up!
The life trajectory of the elders in the family, because of the relationship of time, he may not be very clear. But Li Lingling, his original cousin, he couldn't know it too well.
From the time Li Lingling was two years old, Li Qing and Wang Feng remarried, until Li Lingling became an adult, Wang Feng never cared about Li Lingling at all!
It is now 92 years, and after waiting for more than a year, Wang Feng and Li Qing's two sons were born one after another, and Li Lingling completely faded out of the family. Although they live in one place, they can only see Wang Feng and Li Qing at Li You's house during the New Year and festivals.
Even when Li Lingling got married later, the dowry was prepared by Li You.
Although she is a stepmother, her heart is full of flesh. Wang Feng's meanness and indifference to Li Lingling made Li Xian feel cold at the beginning.
But although he couldn't get used to it, Li Xian at that time was a junior in the end.
Now, in this era and a different generation, Li Xian can't bear it anymore.
He kicked open the door of the Wang family, and walked in with Li Pi, who also had an angry face.
This time, it startled a room of people.
Seeing that Li Xian's face was not good, several brothers of the Wang family got up: "Second brother Li, what are you doing?"
"Second, little four, why are you two here?" Li You and Zou Ni were also unexpectedly tight.
Li Xian directly ignored these crop men and nodded to his parents. turned to look at Wang Feng, who was sitting cross-legged on the kang, "Sister-in-law, have you made up your mind not to go back?"
Wang Feng looked at this little brother-in-law, and did not hide his dissatisfaction on his face: "If you can't go back, I don't count if I say it myself, it depends on what your eldest brother and your family mean." Besides, that's what you asked? Second brother, when will it be your turn to be in charge of the family?"
Li Xian snorted, didn't pick up her stubble, and turned to look at Li Qing: "Big brother, I'll ask you." Do you want to live this day or don't you want to live it?"
was questioned by his second brother in public, Li Qing's square face instantly turned red to his neck, he held his breath, and he ate for a long time without speaking. just looked at Wang Feng on the kang with dodgy eyes.
Li Xian sighed secretly in his heart.
Wretch!
But think about it, in the relatively closed environment of the forest farm, Li Qing, who is married for the second time and has a poor family background, actually does not have much choice.
Li Xianyun sighed, got what Li Qing didn't say, and knew in his heart: "That's good." Today's home, I'm really right!"
"What do you kid want to do?" Li You became alert, afraid that he would make trouble, so he got down from the edge of the kang.
"Sister-in-law, you can pack your things. The two old rooms in the family are for you. Let's change houses!" Li Xian said word by word in front of everyone.
"Second brother, you're crazy!" Li Pi on the side was anxious, "There are seven people in our family, except for you and me, there are still five people left to go to school outside, how can you live in the house of the eldest brother's house!"
Wang Feng on the kang was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Second brother, can you really be this family?Dad, Mom, what do you two say?" She set her eyes on Li You and Zou Ni.
As soon as Li You wanted to speak, Li Xian took the first step to stop him: "Dad, you just follow me." ”
Li You looked at Li Qing, who was standing on the side, with a blushing face and a thick neck, and was silent, and then looked at Li Xian, who had a firm face. He stomped his feet fiercely, turned around and walked out: "Do it, you all do it!"
This kind of helplessness and powerlessness made Li Xian feel a trace of sadness. But now is not the time to think about this, he looked at Wang Feng again: "It's decided!"
Wang Feng was overjoyed, and stood up with a thud from the kang: "Okay, then you can go back and pack your things." I'll move tomorrow morning!"
......
Throughout the night, Li You was cleaning up things with Zou Ni, who was wiping tears repeatedly. Obviously, the family has grievances in their hearts about moving.
And Li Xian, who made this decision, became the object of resentment of most of the family. Even Li Pi, who has always worn a pair of pants with Li Xian, took the broom and swept the house he was used to living in since he was a child.
The old man Li Daoyun also sighed and complained: "Grandson, when I go to the west, it's too long for me to pack up my coffin and run back and forth." ”
The old man can give up the house, but he can't rest assured that he will be in the coffin.
Faced with the incomprehension at home, Li Xian just silently packed up his things and said nothing.
It was Li Qing who walked in front of Li Xian after helping to pack his luggage,
Early the next morning.
Outside the yard, there was the sudden sound of a tractor.
Several brothers from the old Wang family, together with Wang Feng, came over with a trailer of pots and pans and luggage. Seeing that the house had been cleaned up, he quickly commanded to move things.
Looking at Wang Feng's happy appearance, Li Xian walked to Li You, who was pushing a three-wheeled cart with a reluctant face.
"Dad, find a carpenter bricklayer. ”
Li You hadn't said a word to him since he came back yesterday, and when he saw Li Xian being a moth again, he couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you looking for?!"
Li Xian smiled, "The eldest brother's house is too small, and our family of seven is crowded." We...... Two more brick houses!"
