Chapter 150: Changes in the Family
Going home this year is different from last year, only Li Yadong is alone, Tian Lei must wait for Qiu Hong to go home together after the holiday, and when the year is approaching, he carries two big bags on his back and embarks on the way home.
There are not many passengers on such days, and no one even sits in the position next to Li Yadong, which gives him a rare opportunity to stretch his limbs on the train, one person occupies the entire long seat, and the person leans against the wall of the car near the window, with his hands around his chest, and closes his eyes all the way to recuperate.
Opposite sat two fashionably dressed women, perming the flower curly head, this kind of big wave curls cut at the back, is the most popular hairstyle in China in this era, more in line with the current aesthetics of the Chinese people than Gong Yu's big wavy curls introduced from abroad, especially the "beckoning" hard bangs, I believe that many people have seen it in the photos of their mothers or mothers-in-law when they were young.
Although they have the same gossip energy unique to women, the topics they talk about are relatively high-end, no longer oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and parents' shortcomings, but tourist scenery and entertainment stars.
This is probably after the founding of New China, the first group of housewives in the country to get rich, has begun to travel together, from the words are not difficult to hear, it should be just from the capital after a trip back.
How good the two of them can talk, Li Yadong is really indescribable, the two of them were chatting when he opened his eyes, and when he woke up, the two of them were chatting, the two of them were chatting when it was dark, and the two of them were still chatting at dawn, and the mood at the moment could only be described in a Jiangcheng dialect - I believe in your evil!
"Eh, I said, do you remember the TV series you watched in the hotel last time?"
"Journey to the West, you say?"
"yes, what do you think?"
"Okay, it's so beautiful, I'll definitely watch it every day when I go back. ”
"You also think it's good-looking, so do I, the monk in there is really handsome!"
Li Yadong was closing his eyes to recuperate, and the two sisters probably thought that he was asleep, and he had no scruples about talking.
"yes, it would be nice if my family had half of them......"
Li Yadong really didn't mean to eavesdrop, but he was still amused, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a curvature, fortunately, the two sisters didn't find out.
Needless to say, the 86th version of Journey to the West was launched on New Year's Day in 1986, with a total of 25 levels, but CCTV rebroadcast it more than 3,000 times, which can be described as a real household name.
The leading actors in it have also become hot stars, and Liu Xiaolingtong has lost the most, although the Sun Monkey he plays is often the first in popularity, but because most of his face is covered by monkey hair, even if a real person walks on the street, no one will necessarily know him, Bajie and Sha Seng are the same, they all belong to the type of dedication to art. The biggest profit is naturally Tang Sanzang's actor, Chi Chongrui, because he has fine skin and tender meat, and there are often three spirits next to him, he has become the dream male god of thousands of women for a while.
Li Yadong wanted to reply at this time, "Don't think about it, two sisters, if you really want to do it, at least earn a net worth of hundreds of millions first, because your Tang Seng brother is actually a layman." ”
The train of the same flight arrived in Jiangcheng at the same time as last year, and after eating a bowl of hot dry noodles in a small restaurant next to the train station, Li Yadong got on the long-distance bus non-stop.
It is still close to dark when they return to their county seat, a year of not seeing, the small county town is still the same, it seems that there is no change at all, unlike 30 years later, a few months without returning to the hometown basically unable to find the way, although China's urban construction is in the midst of rapid development, but currently only limited to the first and second tier cities, small counties like them, at least 20 years of silence.
This year's luck is obviously not as good as last year, and he didn't meet the second dog who drove a tractor, but Li Yadong was not in a hurry, and walked for a few minutes with a salute on his back and came to Zhang Chunxi's roast duck shop.
"Xiaodong!"
Zhang Chunxi was wearing a white apron in his arms, holding a large kitchen knife in his hand, and was standing behind the counter greeting business, seeing Li Yadong a little unable to believe his eyes at that time, this is still a long time before the Chinese New Year, is college time so free, you can go back when you want, you must know that when they used to live in high school, it was difficult to get out.
"Yo, Yadong is back!"
Cai Xiaohui was also there, and when he saw how attentive Li Yadong was, he didn't mention it, if it wasn't for this kid's help, where would their family have a good life now.
"Don't leave tonight, go home for dinner, I'll go back and get a few big dishes." ”
As he spoke, he began to untie his apron.
Zhang Chunxi saw Li Yadong's unexplained appearance, and smiled, "I bought a house in the middle of the year, and it is not far away from my aunt's house." ”
"Yes, Comrade Chunxi!" Li Yadong instantly understood, laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
"Come on, it's an old house where people live, how can it compare to the three-story building of your old Li family?"
After hearing him say this, Li Yadong was even more heartfelt, when he left a year ago, the family's house had not yet been built, and now he must have moved in, so he wanted to go back and see it immediately, so he hurriedly pulled Cai Xiaohui to stop.
"Auntie, don't be busy, I'm not an outsider, I can still be polite to you, not today, I just got out of the car and wanted to go home to have a look, even if you don't mention it in a few days, I will go to visit your new house." ”
"This kid is in such a hurry every time he comes......"
Cai Xiaohui looked helpless, and said with a broken face: "That's okay, I must come in a few days." ”
"A must. ”
"Then!" Zhang Chunxi didn't bother to stay, and played together until the big hair was small, and his temperament was clear, so he threw a bunch of keys directly.
This guy has inherited his genes in some ways, and it is still like new after a year of kicking and riding, and there is no dust on the side of the road, and it is obviously cleaned frequently.
"Let's go......" Li Yadong tied the salute to the back seat, kicked it down, the motorcycle roared, the accelerator was raised, and he walked away.
In the countryside, kicking is sometimes better than a car, there is basically no road that cannot be walked, and when I return to the village, the sky has not completely darkened.
"Mr. Li is back!"
I don't know which child howled, and then the whole small mountain village boiled.
Li Yadong didn't stay long this time, and greeted everyone when he met him, "Uncle, go and sit at home......"
"Auntie, go sit at home ......"
Drive along the yellow mud dirt road to the back mountain, stop in front of the house, and after hearing the movement, her mother Hu Xiuying rushed out with a kitchen knife in her hand, probably cooking.
"Xiaodong, why did you come back so early?"
Not only did she not expect it, but the villagers didn't expect it, just at this time, the third sister-in-law Liu Jinju touched the door with a big belly, can Li Yadong tell his mother, because there is a belt in it?
He is not patriarchal, mainly the old tradition of rural people, there must be at least one family heir, Lao Li's family is not prosperous, plus he has no children and no daughters in his previous life, so he points to such a belt and goods, don't you pay attention to it?
A lot of things have become habits.
"Mother, I'm not busy with my studies this year, and I don't have anything to do if I stay in school, so I came back early. That's all he can say.
"Oh, it's good to come back, it's good to come back......" I haven't seen her for a year, can Hu Xiuying miss it in her heart? As the saying goes, Erxing Qianli's mother is worried, and it depends on the wrong time for him to come back, and he is afraid that something will happen.
"The little uncle seems to be ......strong again," Liu Jinju said with a smile.
"Third sister-in-law, you have a big belly now, you usually have to pay attention, try not to move around alone, I brought some supplements, I will take them out for you later......" Li Yadong turned his head and replied with a smile while unloading the salute from the motorcycle.
Liu Jinju's eyes lit up, and she smiled even brighter, "Let the little uncle spend money in vain again." ”
Since her belly is big, her treatment in this family is obviously different, even her mother-in-law will let her everywhere, and she is always delicious and delicious, but now she has to give birth so early.
After Li Yadong packed up the salute and entered the house, a large number of villagers also arrived.
So without saying a word, I took out two packs of Dazhongjiu from the bag, this time I didn't buy Ashima, I thought about changing the taste for everyone, and I found a pack of white rabbits, as well as melon seeds, nuts or something, in this regard, Li Laoqi has always been a person to study.
"Yadong, why haven't you brought your daughter-in-law back this year?"
Li Yadong let them be ruffians, anyway, he is used to it.
They were busy until dark, and then everyone dispersed.
Hu Xiuying was in the kitchen preparing dinner, and her son was back, so she couldn't add a few more dishes? Liu Jinju sat on the chair with the back of the hall, constantly stroking her stomach, and she could top two or three large watermelons, so she was naturally not very comfortable.
At this time, Li Yadong had time to visit the new building.
This house is built according to his ideas, in fact, the structure is roughly understood, three floors and three rooms, the first floor is slightly larger, a separate kitchen at the back, all the cement floor, the walls are all painted with white paint, bright and dignified, clean and tidy, the only thing that makes people look unpleasant is the furniture, this is also a thing he did not participate in, sure enough, it was not done, how much also purchased some, but most of them are still the furniture in the old house, eighty percent of his mother is reluctant to throw away.
After walking upstairs and downstairs, it generally met his earlier expectations, but the furniture had to be changed, and the bed board was squeaky and not easy to sleep, and he would take care of this matter himself.
When I returned to the hall on the first floor, I saw that the sky was completely dark, and I couldn't help but look at the third sister-in-law and asked, "Are they all in the duck factory for my third brother, and none of them will come back?"
When Liu Jinju just wanted to say something, there was a bicycle bell outside the door, and Li Yadong hurriedly walked out.
Through the light from the room, I could see that it was a group of two people, a man pedaling, and a woman sitting in the back seat.
As soon as the car stopped, the woman jumped out of the back seat and rushed towards the house, this woman was naturally Li Dongmei, she had already learned from the villagers that the little brother was back, and she was so excited that her heart was about to jump out.
The man saw her at the door and was about to leave, but a voice came from behind him, "Eh, you wait." ”
This person Li Yadong is no stranger, it is the young carpenter named Huang Guodong, he was still interested in matchmaking, he didn't expect it to be really good, he dared to send people home openly, and if Li Yadong guessed correctly, the bicycle under his crotch was still bought by himself, and he looked like he was going to ride home, and then come back tomorrow morning to pick it up?
"Ah?" Huang Guodong paused for a moment and turned his head, although the matter between him and Li Dongmei was no longer a secret, but after all, it had not been put on the table, and the old lady of the main Li family had not nodded yet, and it was already out of line to send people to the door, and it was impossible to think about it when she entered the door.
"Let's have a meal together, I just happened to have something to do with you. ”
Huang Guodong realized that this was an opportunity, and he now probably knew that the old lady of the Li family loved his youngest son the most, and it just so happened that the "little brother-in-law" seemed to have a good impression of him, and he also mentioned him last year, and he was suddenly happy in his heart, and said: "Okay!"
