Chapter Ninety-Two: Growth
When approaching the village, Li Yadong didn't follow them all the way, they drove the pigs slowly, and Li Yadong hurried home first.
After about ten minutes, the village was boiling.
"Xiaodong, Xiaodong......" Li Dongmei ran in from the door, looking a little excited, and said breathlessly: "There are great things in the village!"
"Oh. Li Yadong sat in the hall holding a bag of instant noodles in his hand, and responded casually, he didn't eat at noon, and he wandered around again, he was really hungry, his mother was cooking in the kitchen, and he couldn't stand the taste even more when he asked, and then he remembered that there was still a bag in the bag and came back to buy Sanxian Yi noodles to eat on the road.
Instant noodles in the 80s are not junk food, a must-have for home travel, the most popular on the market is Sanxian Yi noodles, and there are also Langhua instant noodles in the north, all of which are fried, the seasoning package is very simple, a little salt and a little pepper or something, but it is also the best delicacy when soaked in boiling water.
A person like Li Yadong who eats dry, in the words of the future, will not be able to do it.
"Don't you ask what's good?" Li Dongmei felt a little disappointed.
Li Yadong smiled, "What, you want to play guessing again?"
"Guess, you have to guess that I don't eat at night!" Li Dongmei really didn't believe it, this matter was like the sun hitting the west, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, who could believe it.
Li Yadong saw that she looked full of confidence, and he also had a little playfulness, this is a game he has played with his fourth sister since childhood, full of memories.
"Do you really want me to guess? But say it in advance, you can't cry if you lose. ”
"You're crying!" Li Dongmei pouted, some of her little temperaments belonged to Li Yadong, and others had no chance to see them.
"Then I'll guess......" Li Yadong touched his head with a smile, "It's almost the New Year, and it's still a good thing in the village...... It's impossible to put on a movie, right?"
As he spoke, he looked at the fourth sister.
"I knew you couldn't guess!" Li Dongmei was happy, a little proud, and finally won by her once.
But this joy is not over yet, Li Yadong said coldly, "If you don't show a movie, is it possible that the village wants to send something? ”
The smile on Li Dongmei's face suddenly froze, her mouth opened, she was so angry that she couldn't speak, and her thin shoulders kept shaking.
Seeing that her eyes were red, Li Yadong hurriedly squeaked, "Eh, don't be fooled, don't cry when you say it." ”
At this time, I regretted it, playing a big-headed ghost, and I knew that her words would definitely not be able to count with my ass.
"I'm not playing with you anymore!" Sure enough, Li Dongmei stomped her tearful feet and went back to the room with her face in her hands.
Li Yadong looked embarrassed.
I don't know how other people's families are, but I always feel that there is an older sister in the family who will be bullied by her younger brother, and if she is not careful, she will be bullied, and she can't help it.
The village can be lively at night, ten pigs how can there be spare pig pens, in case of sleeping when running up the mountain, people have to be depressed to death, maybe there will be more litter of scourge in the future, the white and tender domestic pigs are seen by the black wild boars can have a good? Even the male eighty percent have to be pushed back, when there is an extra litter of piglets, in the middle of the night down the mountain to run into the ground is an arch.
Li Yadong There are really wild boars on the mountains around them, and it is estimated that there are quite a few in these years, because he has seen people catch one with a tiger trap twenty years later.
Since there was no place to close, and I was worried about running away, I simply slaughtered it directly, and Fang Huozi mobilized the whole village to start working, and everyone rushed to the village committee after eating, and men, women, and children did it together. The woman boiled water, the man sharpened the knife, and the excitement on his face couldn't be hidden, because the village chief said that every family has a share of pork.
Just like Li Dongmei thought before, this is the first time that the sun has hit the west.
A few members of the old Li family also went, and I heard that their own family could also get meat, Hu Xiuying rolled up her sleeves and worked very hard, Li Yadong watched the third brother and the fourth sister working there, but it was a little distressing to see her mother working so hard.
"Mother, don't be busy, there are so many strong laborers, how can you do it. ”
"This kid, how can you say that, the village doesn't need money to share meat, the pig is slaughtered or eaten in our stomachs, and we can wake up with a smile in our dreams, why bother with this bit of strength. ”
"Alas......" Li Yadong couldn't persuade him, and sighed helplessly, what do you call this.
But when the pig was slaughtered in the end, Fang Huozi came over with a piece of meat, winked at Li Yadong, and then handed the meat to Hu Xiuying, who was delighted.
Li Yadong understood what he meant, you have to do enough play, otherwise it will be exposed, your family is not a difficult household, and it is not suitable for too much meat.
You can't live if you do your own evil!
On the way back, Li Yadong was a little depressed and asked his mother, "Mother, are you happy?"
"Happy, how can you not be happy, there is meat for nothing, what a good thing. Hu Xiuying was really happy, even the wrinkles on her face stretched a lot, and she was carrying a few taels of poor meat in her hands, and she only felt lucky.
"Then you'll be happier tomorrow. ”
"What?"
Li Yadong said coldly, Hu Xiuying didn't know what to mean for a long time, but she didn't take it to heart, it was approaching the end of the year, and the family was living a prosperous life, so she was naturally happier every day.
The next day, similar to Li Yadong's conjecture, the red bricks from the brick factory were finally delivered, and the whole village was a sensation.
Four tractors, it is estimated that the transportation team of the brick and tile factory was all dispatched, probably thinking that Lu Yuan had arranged it for him several times, and drove into the village in a mighty way.
"Who is this going to build a building, why do you want so many bricks?"
When you meet people in the village, you have to inquire.
If they knew that the tractor would have to make several trips back and forth, they would probably be scared to drop their jaws.
Everyone stood at the door of their own house and looked out, and finally walked up to the intersection of a person, and greeted the tractor master, everyone stared, Li Laosan!
"This is the old Li family to build a building!"
Everyone was stunned, no wonder, the Li family is promising, not to mention that he was admitted to the university, and when he came back, he seemed to be making a lot of money outside, and he heard that Accountant Zhang did not plan to build a house in the village, and was going to build it in the county, so there was only his family.
Hu Xiuying was also a member of the wait-and-see team, and at first she was thinking about joining in the fun, until she saw her third son chatting with the driver, and she was so frightened that her heart jumped.
"The third child wants to build a house?"
She didn't know about such a big thing?
"Where did he get all this money?"
"Mother, it's not the third brother who wants to build a house, it's me who wants to build it, and I want to build it for you to live in. Li Yadong smiled beside him and answered her doubts.
"Oh, you kid, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing in advance?" Hu Xiuying stretched out her hand and patted him twice, but she was reluctant to use force.
Li Yadong changed his previous docile temperament, smiled slightly, and said: "I told you in advance that I don't agree, so I just dragged the bricks back first, mother, the money was paid anyway, and if you don't build the bricks, it will rot." ”
He didn't know what his mother's temperament was, but if he really wanted to tell her in advance, he would definitely say: This house is not good, and it is not that it cannot be lived, why spend that unjust money?
Hu Xiuying looked a little angry and wanted to say something more, but Li Yadong had already hugged her and said in her ear: "Mother, I have grown up and have the ability to honor you, so don't be bitter about yourself, I feel distressed." ”
Hu Xiuying leaned on her son's arms and opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word, and her eyes turned red instantly.
Yes, isn't my son just grown up, and the top of his head can't reach his chin.
"My son, you have really grown up!"
She smiled knowingly, and two lines of tears unconsciously slid down her cheeks, how much bitterness turned into nothingness at this moment.
