Happy times are always fleeting, and in a blink of an eye, it has reached the sixth day of the first lunar month.

Although the rule left by the ancestors is that the year is not over until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, modern people live at a fast pace, and they usually subconsciously think that after the eighth day of the first lunar month, the year is over.

If Li Yadong wants to go to Su's house to pay a New Year's greeting, it will not be good to delay it any longer, and it is almost time to leave.

When the two sisters learned that he was leaving today, they both rushed back yesterday afternoon.

The morning sun is rising, and the warm glow envelops the small mountain village, driving away the chill left behind by the night.

Hu Xiuying made two bowls of chicken noodle soup, each with a large chicken leg and two watery eggs.

One bowl is of course Li Yadong's, and the other bowl belongs to Li Tingting.

The two of them sat on the square table and ate unhurriedly, and several ladies next to them gave endless advice to you and me.

Mr. Li has been out there for so many years, and it turns out that he will definitely not suffer a loss, so they are not too worried.

What really worries them is Li Tingting.

She is about to turn eighteen years old, she has never left the arms of her parents in her life, the farthest place she has been to is a mountain in Linxian County, thanks to a spring outing organized by the school, but now she is suddenly going to Hong Kong, which is 108,000 miles away, how can the family not worry?

"Tingting, study with peace of mind when you get to the place, stay in school if you have nothing to do, don't run around. ”

"Yes, didn't Xiaodong also say it, there are more cars than people over there, so you have to be careful when crossing the road. ”

"Also, you have to be mindful when making friends, don't you put it on TV, there are a lot of bad people in big cities. ”

"Write to your family from time to time......"

Li Tingting feels that she urgently needs two balls of cotton now, these things her mother has been talking about since years ago, and now the team of "chanting scriptures" has grown again, in addition to her grandmother, there are two more aunts.

They may not have said they were tired, but her ears were really calloused.

I said...... Mom, grandma, aunt and aunt, can you stop for a while and let me finish eating?"

"Oh good, you eat first, eat first......"

Li Yadong looked at this scene with a smile, and suddenly remembered the time when he left home.

After eating, Li Tingting continued to accept the earnest teaching of the elders, while Li Yadong pulled his eldest brother into the room and stuffed a cloth bag that had been prepared long ago into his hand.

Li Yamin knew what was inside, but he didn't look at it, and asked, "How much?"

"Fifty thousand. ”

"So much?!"

"Brother, you take it first, and then you have to dig a fish pond, buy duck fry and fish fry, and feed it, the investment in the early stage is really not small, it doesn't matter if you have more money, you are afraid of less. ”

Li Yamin frowned and said: "Then you gave me all the money, is it enough for yourself, and Tingting ......?"

"Don't worry, brother, didn't I tell you, I have more than 100,000 deposits, it's not bad. Besides, it takes a lot of expenses to expand the store or something, and it is easy to do things with money in hand. Li Yadong smiled.

"Well, that'...... Okay. ”

Li Yamin also knew that there were a lot of places to use the money next, and he could see that his younger brother was indeed not bad for money, so he didn't shirk it anymore, suddenly thought of something, put the cloth bag on the bed, took out a handful of banknotes from the blue cloth jacket, and handed it over, "You take this money, there is so much at home, if it is not enough, you can put it on first." ”

"Brother...... Li Yadong smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, can I not want it?

"Take it!"

What kind of temperament his eldest brother has, Li Yadong knows best, and he can only take it with a stupid face.

Fortunately, the family's business has been doing, and it is not a problem for the eldest brother and his family to save thousands of yuan a month, but they don't have to worry about having no money to live.

Sister-in-law Chen Yue'e prepared two large bags of gifts for her daughter, and even had a bed of flower quilts, which made Li Yadong's head bigger.

In the end, I told her that she was not allowed to bring a lot of things when she passed the customs, which was condensed into a woven bag.

At three poles in the morning, the two motorcycles outside the door have been put on a stand, and the drivers are Li Yajun and Huang Guodong.

Li Yamin wanted to give his daughter a ride, but he didn't know how to ride a motorcycle, so he could only look at his daughter's excited face, and he couldn't speak.

He is the kind of person who is not good at expressing feelings, and many words can only be hidden in the bottom of his heart.

"Tingting, listen to your little uncle when you get over there, don't be naughty. Hu Xiuying said with red eyes.

"Got it, grandma. ”

Li Tingting responded obediently, and found that her mother on the side had cried into a tearful person, she was originally quite happy, but she was infected by this, and her eyes were red, "Mom, don't cry, what a good thing I went abroad to study, why do you keep crying, I want to cry when you cry......"

"Good...... Mom doesn't cry, don't cry......"

How can Chen Yue'e not understand this truth, it's just that the mother of her son is worried that which mother is willing to let her children go away to a foreign country, she really can't control it.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, with me, I will take care of Tingting. Li Yadong interjected at the right time.

"Hmm. Chen Yue'e wiped her tears and smiled far-fetchedly, "Tingting, this kid likes to play a little trick, Xiaodong, you have to take care of it more." ”

"Sister-in-law, what you said ......" Li Yadong shook his head with a wry smile.

Tingting is his niece, and she is still the only girl in the third generation of the old Li family, so she is wronged a little, and it is useless to count him Li Yadong.

"Xiaodong, it's time to go, I can't catch the car any later. At this time, Li Yajun urged.

I bought the ticket a few days ago, and at 9 o'clock in the morning, there really wasn't much time left.

"Okay. Li Yadong nodded, and said goodbye to his mother and elder sisters.

Li Tingting was the same, and after greeting everyone, she fell on her father, "Dad, I'm leaving." ”

Li Yamin tried to squeeze out a smile, and wanted to give a few words, but in the end, a thousand words only turned into one word, "Okay." ”

……

When Li Yadong and the others arrived in the provincial capital, it was already afternoon, and after getting off the bus, Li Tingting seemed to have entered the future world, with countless high-rise buildings and countless floors, and a dazzling array of strange things on both sides of the street.

"Little uncle, the provincial city is really magnificent. ”

"It's called grandeur. Li Yadong smiled dumbly, "Then when you arrive in Hong Kong, it is estimated that your legs and stomach will tremble." ”

"Hong Kong is much better than the provincial capital?" the little girl opened her mouth wide, a little unimaginable.

"One in heaven and one on the ground, what do you say?" Li Yadong smiled.

There are not many people who travel by train on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, so it was easy for the two of them to buy a train ticket to Xushi.

This is Li Tingting's first time taking a train, and as soon as she gets on the train, her eyes can't stop at all, look east and west.

Although she is not short in height, this appearance is there, and anyone can see that she is a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world.

When they came to Xu City, it was getting late, and with Tingting, Li Yadong had no intention of rushing to the night, so the two of them took a taxi and found the best hotel in the city, ready to stay for a night.

After entering this hotel, which can be regarded as luxurious in the eyes of ordinary citizens, Li Tingting is obviously a lot quieter, and from time to time there are people in straight suits walking by, and her eyes do not dare to glance around, and she will subconsciously pull the hem of the floral cotton jacket, as if she wants to smooth out the folds on her clothes.

There is no doubt that the little girl has some inferiority complex in her heart, and she feels that she is out of place in this "splendid" place.

"Let's go, Tingting, let's open the room first, and then take you to eat delicious food, and buy clothes by the way, your clothes are not very warm, this is already considered the northern boundary, and it is colder than ours." Li Yadong said, how can he not see the little girl's thoughts.

"Hmm. Li Tingting smiled and nodded.

"Excuse me, open two of the best rooms. Li Yadong came to the front of the service desk and said to the staff.

"Little uncle. At this time, Li Tingting on the side pulled his sleeves, lowered her head and whispered, "I don't dare to sleep alone." ”

Li Yadong smiled, "Okay, just open one, if there is a suite, if there is none, there will be a double room." ”

There are definitely no suites in the hotels in the mainland these years, so I finally had to ask for a so-called "luxury double room".

Two beds, two bedside tables, a long table with a 14-inch black-and-white TV, a window air conditioner, fortunately equipped with a separate bathroom, barely able to live.

The dinner of the two of them is Huainan beef soup, accompanied by a dough cake with mutton, in this cold winter wax moon, a mouthful of broth and a bite of cake, it is also quite comfortable.

After eating, while it was still early, Li Yadong stopped a small yellow noodle car, and the driver was familiar with the road and took them to a department store that had not yet closed.

It's just that the clothes here are really ugly, and the quality is also poor.

Of course, this is Li Yadong's feeling. Li Tingting tried a few times, but she couldn't put it down.

Although he knew that these clothes would definitely have to go to the garbage heap after arriving in Hong Kong, Li Yadong still bought them all.

There's no way, who makes the little girl like it, and he's not bad for money.

There is a saying in China that "the poor raise their children, and the rich raise their daughters", which is not without some truth.

Raising a son in poverty is actually a shaping of the boy's will and quality.

The flowers in the greenhouse are destined to not withstand the storm. The concept of Aiko, which is afraid of melting in the mouth and afraid of pain in the hand, will prompt the boy to be not strong-willed, have poor psychological endurance, and lose the blood and responsibility that a man should have.

And raising a daughter is an investment in cultural accomplishment.

Most of the well-nourished girls have a broader vision, are more free and independent, more assertive and intelligent, and know what they want and what is really worth pursuing.

When she reaches the age of flowers, she is not easily tempted by all kinds of floating prosperity and vanity.

Of course, some people feel that such a statement is too one-sided.

However, Li Yadong is convinced of an ancient precept left by his ancestors.

There are very few truths in the world that can convince everyone, if you think it makes sense, you follow it, if you think it doesn't make sense, you can ignore it, you have to fight for right and wrong, there is no point.

Tingting has lived in a small county town for eighteen years, and suddenly came to the outside world of flowers, where there are too many things that can tempt her.

Don't let her understand that she has an uncle who "can do anything", how can she resist this temptation?

His own niece, Li Yadong knows very well that she is too simple, whether you believe it or not, if she walks on the streets of Hong Kong alone, within five minutes, any kind person can deceive her.

Yes, it's that easy to deceive. It's not just her, but girls as big as her in the mainland these years are basically the same.

To a large extent, the wisdom of the masses of the people has also grown up in being deceived again and again, and there are not many liars in the mainland in this era.

Otherwise, a "water into oil" will not make many people at the central level convinced.
