294. Retention
The more Li He thought about it, the more it was like this, and after chatting with his mother casually, he decided that the fifth child would go out to study, which was the best way at present. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Yan knew that the fifth child was beaten by Li He because of her affairs, she was very embarrassed, and lowered her head and said, "Brother, it's all my fault, it has nothing to do with Qinzi." ”
"Your temperament has also changed, and you are in high school anyway, so you can't be so soft. From Li He's standpoint, he still hopes that this cousin can have a good future, and he has to feel that the little girl has grown into a big girl, and she is sixteen years old, but she is not a big girl.
Although Li Yan was not admitted to the county No. 1 middle school, it was good that she could be admitted to the county No. 2 middle school, after all, when she went to repeat the study, she was delayed for the entire first half of the year, and she only started to go in the second half of the year, and she had done her best for her.
There are many children in high school, but there are very few girls in high school. His third uncle Li Zhaohui is already enlightened to let his daughter go to high school, not to mention the lack of a laborer in the family, it will cost a lot of money, and it is not easy for the countryside to support a high school student.
"I see. ”
Li He said, "This has nothing to do with you, she will have other stubble without you." You just need to study hard, your third brother is in the county, and you will find your third brother if there is anything in the future. ”
Although the business of Li Long and Da Zhuang's acquisition station in the county is not bad, it is much worse than Liu Laosi, and the two of them together do not earn as much money as Liu Laosi alone in a year. Li He even had the idea of letting the two of them stop their business, but the two of them were making money, how could they listen to his opinion.
Moreover, the two of them have a military cover in the county, and their business is going smoothly, they are respected wherever they go, they have money, status, and status, and they are considered to be people with heads and faces, and it is obviously impossible for them to go to their places and start again.
Li Zhaohui called Li He to eat at night, and asked at the wine table, "You said that Yanzi is still in the middle of reading, it's a pity if you don't read it, and I'm afraid it's useless if you read it." "Even if a girl as big as a swallow can't be busy much in the field, laundry and cooking can reduce a lot of effort.
Before Li He could answer, Li Zhaokun interjected, "Your eyelids are so shallow, you must study to study, and I will let him go out to study." If you don't use it, you can ask Xi Lao, people now have two daughters, but it's hard to drag. ”
Xi Lao is Xi Tongcai, called Lao Li not because he is stingy, but because he is the accountant of the brigade, and he always wants to pick three or five points with people, and he has a nickname for Lao Li.
Li Zhaokun was able to say these words to everyone's surprise, and Li Fucheng also deliberately showed his eldest son, "Finally spit out human words." ”
Li Zhaohui was not annoyed by his brother, but sighed, "It's really good to read like their two daughters." ”
The two daughters of the family are angry, and no one says that Xi Tongcai is out of business, and if you don't have a son, you are out of business.
"Let her read it, you've been fine for the past two years, and it's not bad to collect yellow eels. "Li Zhaohui has not made less money by collecting yellow eels in Qiaotou over the years, so Li He doesn't understand what Li Zhaohui keeps money for, and it is difficult to spend all the money on his son.
Li Zhaoming also answered, "It's good to read more, you see that although Dongzi is not bad in the army, if he had a higher education, he would have been promoted a long time ago, and if he didn't study, he would have suffered." ”
His words are not without a show of meaning, Dongzi has performed well in the army, and as long as he reaches the length of service, he is likely to be promoted.
Li He saw that Li Zhaokun was about to speak, and quickly interjected, "As long as he works hard, he will definitely have a future." ”
He was really afraid that Li Zhaokun would say something inappropriate with this mouth.
Wu camel at the door of the house to lead the child to learn to walk, the child is ten months old can already stagger two steps, this is happy Wu camel, now the child basically does not need to be supported, but the winter wear is thicker, walking is not so flexible, occasionally will fall twice, this can also make the camel distressed, really holding the hand for fear of falling, holding the mouth for fear of melting.
Under the sun, it was warm everywhere, and Mrs. Sang was playing woolen yarn next to her, looking at the two of them with a smile. Although she is called Mrs. Sang, she is actually not very old, and she is only less than 50, but the man left early, and he is called as a man, which makes him look older. It's not easy to remarry with two sons, she is not happy to leave her son, but she is not happy to marry with two oil bottles, half of the eldest son eats Lao Tzu to death, not to mention that it is still two and a half sons, and whoever takes over is a drag.
When the two sons married daughters-in-law, she thought that the hard life had come to an end and she could rest, but she couldn't imagine that none of the two daughters-in-law was good at stubble, and she treated her as a donkey.
What I didn't expect was that she was quiet after separation, but no son was willing to give rations, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and she didn't make trouble with her son, so she just held her stomach, opened up the wasteland by herself, and tried to fool her mouth.
Li He looked at Wu Huozi, and then at Mrs. Sang, and couldn't stop pondering in his heart, these two people can live together, an old bachelor, a dead man, one knows cold, the other knows heat, it's a perfect match.
And Mrs. Sang was also a flower when she was young, even if she is older now, she has a solid chassis and a good waist, but her face is a little darker, but she is also quite attractive. He didn't believe that Wu Huozi had no idea.
He regretted why he hadn't thought about it before.
He bumped the camel with his elbow, glanced at the old lady with his eyes, and said, "No ideas?"
Wu Huozi's face turned red suddenly, and he said nervously, "What nonsense are you talking about, you dead boy, how old am I." ”
"You're only in your early 60s, one is unmarried and the other is unmarried, what's not to do. The landlord Lao Cai is still married to his aunt at the age of seventy, what are you? ”
"Don't talk nonsense. ”
"Hehe, it's not a problem for you two to be so consumed. According to me, it's clear. She hasn't been on the ring either, so I can't say you can still have a son, think about it, isn't it beautiful?"
The camel's face turned even redder, "You're talking more and more out of shape, too lazy to tell you." ”
"Then I'll go back and ask my grandma to find out Mrs. Sang's tone for you. ”
The camel didn't speak again, Li He took it as his acquiescence, and turned around to find his grandmother.
The old grandmother was mixing the chickens in the yard, and after listening to Li He's words, she said with a smile, "You still have lice on your body, and you still scratch others." ”
"Why do you say that I am on me again, I said that I will definitely bring my granddaughter-in-law back to show you after the year. Li He was in a hurry, and anything could be done to him, "I'll tell you about the camel now." ”
The old lady said, "I know, go back and ask." ”
"When do you ask?"
The old woman said, "You are more anxious than a camel." ”
"I hope he's doing well, too. ”
The old grandmother was entangled by Li He and had no choice, so she really went to find Widow Sang in the name of String Menzi.
Widow Sang said, "I'm all a handful old, where can I still think about such a thing." ”
The old lady said, "When I met the camel, you hadn't entered Li Zhuang's door yet, he could endure hardships and be capable, if it wasn't for the back problem, where could you be single until now, you are also a person, don't be a young lady, success or not, refreshing." ”
Mrs. Sang said, "What does he mean?"
"What else can he say, Lin Laobai picks up a daughter-in-law, and he is not beautiful. ”
Lang has a concubine who has intentions, and this matter is basically decided.
In the end, what I didn't expect was that Mrs. Sang's two sons disagreed, disgusted and embarrassed, and their mother remarried, where did they still have face as sons.
The old lady scolded, "You two kings and eight calves let your mother live in a pigsty and eat water, why don't you dislike and be ashamed, but now you are disgusted and embarrassed." ”
The sons of the two lowered their heads and said nothing, no longer interfering, but said ruthlessly that they wanted to cut off contact with the old lady.
The camel found someone to calculate the day, and two tables were set up that day, and Mrs. Sang only hugged a few bedding over, which was regarded as a partner to live.
Li He wants to lend money to the camel to repair two more houses, and one thatched house is obviously not enough to live in, since he has to live, he can't deal with it like this.
The camel said, "No, no, Zhao Di has already lent it to me." ”
"Zhaodi?"
"Well, I'll work for her, and I'll just deduct her salary in the future. ”
"I haven't seen her yet. Li He went to the river slope a few times, thinking that he would see He Zhaodi, but he never encountered it once.
"She built a kiln factory on the dry land, which should be with He Laoxi in the brick factory. Obediently, it's more profitable than engaging in boats, there is a brick factory near here, you see that the bricks pulled by the passing tractor are burned by her, but she has sent it. ”
Li He passed by the brick factory he saw over there and thought it was someone else's, but he couldn't think of He Zhaodi, this girl is really strong.
When he changed his clothes at night, he found that the bag had been rummaged through, and he used his ass to know who did it, and there was no one else but his own father. However, he had a total of 20,000 yuan in his bag, and he had already given it to Wang Yulan when he came back, as for Wang Yulan's ability to hide money, he knew it, and Li Zhaokun might not be able to find it when he was tired.
He originally wanted to give his wife a little more money, but after thinking about it, how much he gave was the same, and he was reluctant to spend it and save it, maybe hiding the money would make it difficult for her. She only has the concept of earning and saving money, and spending money is synonymous with loser.
But Wang Yulan has not changed since she became rich, for example, now in order to coax her grandson to eat, she will also be willing to cut two taels of lean meat, and the meals at home are all oily and watery. And she has a deposit in her hand, her waist is straight when she walks, and her voice is loud, and the history of her Wang Yulan looking for someone to borrow money everywhere is gone in a low voice.
Occasionally, she would send a few catties of meat to the father and mother of Hewan Village, and give twenty or thirty yuan every once in a while, and she would come out and send her to the hospital when she was sick. She didn't want her parents to miss her well, maybe it was just for the breath in her heart.
In the village and outside the village, she spoke confidently, and was respected, and there was food and drink at home, which was a day that she couldn't think of before, so she did not hesitate to reject her son's suggestion to live in the city in the future several times.
Li He also thought about improving the living conditions of his family, but the six large tile houses in his house are already top-notch in the vicinity, and if they are repaired, they will attract jealousy, which means that the whole family is set up on the fire barbecue, and it is almost enough to stop.
The inside of the house is spacious, with high roofs and snow-white walls, and it is still good to live in.
That's all he can do.
The fourth child's eyes were red and swollen, and Li He asked, "What's wrong?"
The fourth pointed to his bag, "The money you gave me is gone." ”
That's hundreds of dollars, so she can't help but feel distressed.
Li He said, "I don't have a long memory of who to blame." Don't cry, go back and I'll give it to you. ”
In addition to offering this father, he can't beat or scold.
The only thing that comforted him was that Li Zhaokun would not obey other people's things, otherwise it would be a shame to throw it at his grandmother's house.
There was a quarrel in the yard, and he hurried out of the house. I only heard Wang Yulan calling, "Our family is all on dry land, what kind of water bills!"
"This is not divided into paddy fields and dry land, calculated by the acres of land, your family is so much money. ”
Wang Yulan continued to mumble, "The water used is also the water in the river, and I have never used the water from the reservoir." ”
"Every family goes this way, you ask me, I ask whom. ”
It was Xi Tongcai who spoke, Li He handed over a cigarette and asked with a smile, "How much." ”
Xi Tongcai said helplessly, "It's only five yuan, Erhe, this is not your family, the final account has already come out, but no one has paid it, and it is difficult for me to do it." Your family didn't pay your water bill last year. ”
Li He took five yuan from his pocket and gave it to Xi Tongcai, "It's just right." ”
Xi Tongcai didn't answer, but said with a smile, "There is also a retention fee." ”
"You say it all at once, how much is it in total. ”
"The third child of your family is also included?"
"Count it in. ”
"Okay, the retention money is 16 yuan and 7 cents, and the water bill is a total of 5 yuan for two years, and when the time comes to repair the river, your family will pay for it or pay for it, just give 2 yuan. If you come out, I have to say hello to the third child of your family. ”
"He doesn't have time every day, so let's pay. ”
"That's 23 pieces and 7 cents. ”
"I'll give you 10 yuan first, and I'll give you the rest later. ”
"No, Erhe, you have money in your hand, and you will get it after giving it. "Xitong just saw that he had hundreds of dollars in his hand, but he only gave ten yuan, what is going on.
"To or not to? I don't want to put it away, I have to save some money to ride back." "Most of the people in this village are in arrears, and the life is shabby and can be delayed, and some are owed for several years.
"Hey. Xi Tongcai still reluctantly accepted the ten yuan. He can't say that Li He is stingy, when people donated to the village, they donated 50,000 yuan.
