Chapter 37: Daily Life in the Hometown 1
"Chrysanthemum, the rice is ready. Let's take a bite. Wu Xiuying shouted while standing in the courtyard.
"Forget it, I'll just wait for a bowl of noodles. Li Mei's loud voice came from upstairs. Because no one lived in it for most of the year, many places had to be cleaned up. As soon as Li Mei got home, she started to get busy. There is no Aunt Le in my hometown to let Li Mei call.
"Don't be busy, a pair of chopsticks. Come and take a bite. I've done it all. After a while, Wu Xiuying had already walked behind Li Mei. Begin to pull Limay. Li Mei was pulled by Wu Xiuying. finally went to Wu Xiuying's house for dinner.
Li Mu was at another person's house at this time. "Komaki, now there is a chance. ”
That's right, as soon as Li Mu arrived home, Li Mei arranged a job and hired someone. Help fix the toilets. Li Mei can't handle this alone. Li Mu was eating at Li Wu's house. Li Wu is Li Mu's elder. Grandparents'.
"Grandpa, don't praise me like that. If you praise me again, I will go to heaven. Li Mu sat at the dining table and talked to Li Wu. Li Mu's grandfather is the eldest, and Li Wu is the youngest. So it's Li Mu's grandfather.
Li Wu was the last person invited by Li Mu. In the face of Li Wu's dinner invitation, Li Mu would certainly not refuse. Although the food in Li Wu's house is not very delicious, it is at least much better than Li Mei's cooking.
When you go back to the countryside, things are always special. In more than ten days, the toilet of Li Mu's house was also repaired. Li Mu felt that he could finally rest for a while. But as soon as Li Mu's idea was generated, it was extinguished by Li Mei's words.
"Komaki, follow me to chop wood. Li Mei had a knife in her hand and a basket on her back. said to Li Mu.
There is no such thing as natural gas in the countryside. If you buy it, it can only be canned. So a lot of times when cooking, it's cooking with wood. Cutting firewood is also something that every household in the countryside does.
"Mom, didn't I tell you, use gas. We're not short of that gas money. Li Mu really didn't want to move.
"You can burn gas for cooking, but what about baking in winter? Li Mei glanced at Li Mu.
"Isn't there still electricity? ”
"The electric stove is not hot and. You get the car on. I'll pull a cart back. I still have a little left of what I cut last year. Wait until you can cut a car, it's enough. Li Mei directly assigned the task to Li Mu.
"Forget it, this car belongs to someone else's Xiaoyang. Or don't open it. You go and put the basket on your back. Li Mei suddenly thought that this car belonged to someone else and could not be ruined.
"No, Mom. Drive, just drive. Yu Yang won't care. "As soon as I heard that I wanted to use my back. Li Mu directly refused, joking.
Half an hour later, Li Mu looked at the river below. and highways. He had been to this mountain countless times when he was a child. I didn't feel tired at all. But now after climbing for a while, Li Mu felt that he was about to die.
A bright voice rang out. Li Muyi lowered his head, and his coat of thousands of yuan was opened by the branches. Suddenly I felt a little distressed. After Li Mu became rich, none of the clothes he bought were less than 1,000 yuan. He felt that when he had money, he should enjoy it.
But what Li Mu didn't expect was that when he had money, he would come back to the mountains to chop wood. Look at the torn coat. Li Mu suddenly felt a loss. If you ask someone to cut the money for this dress. I don't know how much wood to chop. And it's easy to be yourself.
If you want to hire someone in the countryside, it is a hundred a day. This is a basic price in Li Mu Village. After all, here, the banquet writing ceremony is basically a hundred. Writing two hundred is a better relationship.
"Mom, why don't we hire someone to cut it down. Anyway, there wasn't much going on in every household during this time. Li Mu looked at his clothes that had been pulled open. Finally spoke.
"If you cut wood, you have to invite someone, and in the future, will others feed you to eat? It's become so lazy. Li Mei began to reprimand Li Mu again.
"Mom, look at my clothes. Li Mu pointed to the mouth of his coat.
"It's just a garment. What the fuss is about. I'll just sew it for you when I go back. Li Mei didn't pay much attention.
"Mom, this dress is three thousand six. Li Mu shrunk his neck. looked at Li Mei timidly.
"What's the matter? You are a baby on your back, why are you wearing so good clothes to chop wood? Lao Tzu insisted on giving you two halts of turtle sons. As Li Mu thought, Li Mei was blown up in an instant. Foul language began to fly out. The good habits that I developed in Rongcheng were completely forgotten when I returned to the countryside.
"You don't know how to wear some clothes when you come back. It has to be so good. On this barren mountain, do you show it to the mountain god?" Li Mei heard thousands of pieces of clothes. Now that it has been scratched, Li Mei's flesh hurts.
Li Mu wanted to say that he had lost all the stalls before. But looking at Li Mei who was furious. Li Mu held back and didn't dare to say any more.
"Forget it, the ancestors (the saying of Sichuan and Shu. )。 You go back first. When I'm done chopping, you can pull it back. You're here to chop wood. You're here to burn money. Li Mei glanced at Li Mu and knew that Li Mu must have good clothes on his body.
Li Mu took a look, Li Mei had no intention of asking someone to chop wood. I had to follow Li Mei to do it, he didn't really feel sorry for the clothes. I just don't want to do it, I want Li Mei to hire someone. It's a pity that Li Mei didn't have this idea.
Looking at the wood behind the off-road vehicle, Li Mu didn't think about it, he directly took out his mobile phone to take a picture, and then sent it to Yu Yang.
Li Mu did not receive a reply from Yu Yang for the time being. I drove this off-road car pulling firewood back home. As soon as he arrived home, Li Mu saw a person standing in the courtyard.
"Grandpa Yan, is there something wrong?" Li Mu hurriedly took out his cigarette and handed it over. It looks like I've been standing for a long time, and there must be something.
"Komaki, that's right. You're back. I came to invite you to eat and drink. Your mother should know, but now you're back. I'll tell you in person. The day after tomorrow, Li Qing got married. Grandpa Yan took the cigarette handed over by Li Mu. Start talking.
"Li Qing is getting married?" Li Mu was surprised, Li Qing was the same age as her. Most of the people in this village have the surname Li. Li Qing and Li Mu were also classmates when they were young. Li Mu didn't expect Li Qing to get married.
"Yes, I was supposed to give you a message. It just so happens that your baby is back. Just help me press a pig. Tomorrow I will use it for cooking. Grandpa Yan patted Li Mu on the shoulder. Pressing a pig is actually helping to kill a pig. In the countryside, every household raises pigs. Therefore, after slaughtering their own pigs at the banquet, there is no need to buy meat.
"Yes. Li Mu had no choice but to agree. It's okay to do a little favor.
"Change your clothes and go again. Li Mei looked at Li Mu's ruined brand. I can't help but be reminded.
"Chrysanthemum, you have to change your clothes to kill the pig. After killing the pig, it was dirty again. You're also diligent. Grandpa Yan took a look at Li Mu, and his clothes were dirty. And it's still rotten. It's perfect to wear this to kill pigs.
"Mom, I don't have it. This body is the most skimmed. Li Mu said helplessly. He didn't have any clothes, and he brought all the clothes at home when he went out for the New Year. Now only some of the ill-fitting ones are still at home. As for the clothes that were taken out, they were all thrown away by Li Mu during this time.
"You're a baby. Hey, forget it. Go. Li Mei just wanted to get angry and saw that Grandpa Yan was still there. He shook his head helplessly.
