Lao Wu was beaten the day after Li He went home, and at this time he was full of tears and resentment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"I hate you", he turned around angrily and was about to run.
Li He grabbed her by the collar, pressed her on the chair, and said, "When I'm joking, right?
Wang Yulan was washing clothes, Li Mei was busy in the kitchen, Li Zhaokun was teasing her granddaughter, the fifth child looked around left and right, and no one came out to help her speak, everyone ignored her, and she was aggrieved, and she cried even more fiercely.
Li Pei clapped his hands and giggled beside him, and it seemed that he was usually bullied by his little aunt.
Li He said, "It's useless to cry, you're in the fifth grade, why are you still doing this grade?
His grandmother came over and walked in the door, "The girl can smack a few words, it's not interesting for the cow to press his head without water."
The old lady didn't feel sorry for her daughter's crying, she just felt that crying was too noisy.
Li He said, "Milk, don't worry about it, I'll cure her temper."
The old lady saw that it was very noisy, and her ears were not clean, so she chatted a few words and left.
Li He moved a chair and sat next to Lao Wu, "Write, I'll watch you write."
Lao Wu's previous tricks were useless, and he didn't use his pen, so he sat on the chair and stalemate with Li He, his voice was hoarse, and his body kept twitching.
In this way, the brother and sister stared at each other until noon, and the fifth child still didn't turn a page, even if he wrote a word.
Li He said, "Even if you sit there, it's your task anyway."
Li Mei pulled Lao Wu up, "Let's go, wash your face and eat."
After lunch, Yang Xuewen gave Li He a wad of money, "This thousand yuan will be repaid to you first, if you are not in a hurry, I will pay you all the money back next year."
Li He stuffed the money back into Yang Xuewen, "You can use it first, I am not short of money for the time being." Don't you still have to repair the house, it's all a place to spend money, don't rush to give it to me."
Yang Xuewen said, "You spend a lot of money outside, and it's not good to always owe you."
"Okay, that's it, you can use it first."
Many families burned wheat straw in the field, and the Zhuangzi was choked with smoke.
Li He couldn't stand this choking at home, so he walked on the river slope, which was relatively high, open, windy, and smokeless.
After taking a deep breath on the embankment, he habitually lit a cigarette.
"You haven't choked enough, and you're vomiting smoke on the embankment."
He Zhaodi appeared behind Li He with an iron hook, she was wearing a thread coat inside, a jacket on the outside, and the sleeves were rolled up high, revealing her slender arms. The teeth are particularly small, like animal teeth, and the white ones are like glazed coatings. The skin can no longer find a fair place, and the neck is dark wheat, but there is an indescribable temperament on the body, the talking eyes echo the willow eyebrows, and an aura spreads.
Li He said, "I haven't smoked for a day today, so I'll go to the river slope to smoke a cigarette, what are you doing?"
"I'll take some hemp rope to the boat."
"Boat, which one is yours?", Li He saw that there were five or six boats parked by the river, I don't know which one it was, they were all not big, washing sand or pulling goods.
"It's the one in the middle, the one with the red cloth strip", He Zhaodi pointed to Li He, her crystal eyes with a smile and pride.
"This isn't Wu Huozi's ship, is it?".
"Of course not, Wu Huo's boat is not half the size of mine. Oh, by the way, I'll give you the money", He Zhaodi put the hemp rope on the ground and took out two hundred yuan from his pocket to Li He, "Don't do this next time, but thank you for helping me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy such a big boat."
Li He was stunned, he almost forgot the two hundred yuan that was sandwiched in the pages when he lent He Zhaodi's book.
He took it, put it in his pocket, and asked, "Are you still so busy during the Chinese New Year?"
"You don't count either, I don't care if it's wrong."
"It's okay, I believe you".
These words made He Zhaodi's heart as sweet as eating honey, "I just don't need to pull goods for the New Year, I will take advantage of the time to peel some hemp rope."
Li He followed He Zhaodi to the canal by the river slope, which was densely packed with bundles of linen, and stones and wood were pressed on them.
In rural areas, bundling, bandaging things, and goods are all made of hemp rope, and it is more common to peel off hemp rope when peeling off the hemp rope from the pole and drying it.
He Zhaodi laboriously hooked the hemp bundle from the water to the shore with an iron hook, and when she saw that Li He was coming over, she immediately stopped her, "Don't come here, it's stinky."
It was numb, it did smell bad, it didn't smell very good, Li He couldn't bear to see He Zhaodi working so hard, and he was just about to reach over and help pull it. He Zhaodi violently pushed him away with her elbow, "I said, I can do it alone, it's not your job, it's too dirty here, you go to the side."
Taking advantage of Li He's stunned efforts, He Zhaodi had already dragged the hemp bundle up.
Li He reluctantly lit another cigarette, and sat on the riverside quietly watching He Zhaodi peel hemp.
He Zhaodi's two hands are very dexterous, and she doesn't see her body moving, her two hands are pumping and sending, and the hemp fiber skin is getting longer and longer, and when the whole thing is taken off, only the white and bright hemp rod remains.
The rhythm is very rhythmic and very comfortable to watch.......
The Spring Festival is approaching, and the fourth child is also back, taking the initiative to do housework at home.
Wang Yulan listened to Li He's nagging about the fifth child's study things, and she also became concerned about the study things, and she didn't let the fourth child be busy with housework, urging, "Go and read the book, and take the university entrance exam next year."
The fourth child vomited while reading books at school, looking forward to resting at home for two more days, "I don't care about these two days if I can't pass the exam."
Li He asked Chen Yongqiang for a whole pig, and he sold 140 catties of meat, who let Li Zhaokun sell the big fat pig at home.
gave 40 catties to Li Mei's family, 20 catties from Mr. Li Fucheng's side, and another 20 catties from Grandpa Hewan.
Wang Yulan's face Li He didn't need to look at it to know that it was already black, but he still couldn't help but not look at it.
In the end, Li He asked Li Long again, "Grandpa Li Pei, you also want to send 20 catties, right?"
Duan Mei saw the words "unhappy" clearly written on her mother-in-law Wang Yulan's face, "My dad has food at home, so they don't have to go so far."
Li He is waiting for Li Long's attitude.
Li Long said, "Then I'll send it over in the afternoon."
He was also caught between his mother and daughter-in-law.
The Chinese New Year's Eve of 1986 was a rare good weather, with no wind, no rain and no snow, and it was still unusually dry.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, after the usual New Year's Eve dinner, Li and the old rules made a fortune boy, twenty yuan out, and Wang Yulan muttered for several days.
On the fifth day of the first month, Liu Lao Si got married, and the three newly built large tile houses were very magnificent. The house does not have all the red bricks used in Li He's house, but red bricks are used at the root of the wall, and the wall is still adobe, but the roof is full of tiles, and it is considered a top-notch house in the countryside.
An old bachelor like Liu Laosi has been famous for many years, although the conditions are good, all assertive girls are not very happy.
He married a widow from a neighboring village, only twenty-one or twelve, with a good figure and a good face, but her life was not good, and after only a year of marriage, the man drank too much wine and drowned in the river, and she became a widow, so she never gave birth.
Liu Laosi was full of joy when he first saw him, it looked good, and it was good to use, it was really good.
The woman is married for the second time and doesn't want to hold another banquet, although Liu Laosi is an honest person, but the more honest people burst out of joy, the more they have no degree, and they have to shout to make a lively one to let people see, as if they want to vent their depression for many years.
After Liu Laosi married this woman home, he almost made an offering, all day long, he was afraid of falling, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth, and he was reluctant to do laundry and cooking.
This woman knows how to know cold and heat, doing laundry, cooking, raising livestock, and doing the same.
Liu Laosi's old lady smiled crookedly, this daughter-in-law picked it up.
Li He thought that this was also a fateful thing, Liu Laosi made his fortune two years earlier than his previous life, but in the end he still married the same woman, fate, it's all fate.
