Chapter 104: Return to Beijing
After the first day of the eighth day of the new year, the school opened, and the workers took up their posts, for most people, it was the end of the year, and Li Yadong's departure date had also entered the countdown, but he could finally stay for a few more days.
The reason why he can stay at home for so long with peace of mind is thanks to Tian Lei, Tian Lei has already said that he will go back to work on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, as long as he is the manager to the post, the company has nothing to worry about.
Taking advantage of the only few days, Li Yadong plans to plan the preliminary work of the duck breeding factory as soon as possible, so that his second sister and third brother can have a direction to move forward, otherwise they will definitely be like headless flies.
Uncle Hu Decai's house as a temporary base, the second sister, the second brother-in-law, the third brother, including the two cousins, Li Yadong gave them a good two-day lesson, and broke down their plans one by one, step by step, in general, there is only one requirement for them in the first year - raise the ducks well and strive to expand the scale.
On the eleventh day of the lunar month, everyone took action one after another, in order to prepare for the construction of the duck factory, find the construction personnel to find the construction personnel, purchase the building materials to purchase the building materials, contact the duck seedlings to contact the duck seedlings, everything is going on in an orderly manner.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, the duck factory officially broke ground, and the early plan was to build two rows of bungalows as duck houses, covering an area of about 500 square meters. The structure inside is designed by Li Yadong himself, and there are drawings, there is a shallow layer under the duck house, that is the manure tank, the floor of each duck pen is a wooden hollow structure, so that the feces can be reasonably separated, more clean and hygienic, not easy to induce diseases, and easy to clean up.
So at the beginning of the construction, the masons and carpenters acted together, and the masters who had crafts nearby were probably found by Li Yajun, so that Li Yadong also saw an "acquaintance" in the construction team.
"Your surname is Huang, right? He walked over to a young carpenter who was working hard and asked with a smile.
Li Yadong paid attention to this person without leaving a trace, a very diligent young man, with quick hands and feet, and a good relationship with other workers on the construction site. That's why I'm interested in coming over and talking to him.
"Yes, Huang Guodong. The young carpenter looked up and smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth.
"Why haven't you come to my house these days?" Li Yadong took out a pack of red plums from his pocket, handed one over, and asked with interest.
Huang Guodong shook his head and said no, and said with a wry smile: "The matchmaker said that your mother didn't seem to take a fancy to me, so why be embarrassed to go again." ”
Li Yadong glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Do you know my fourth sister?"
"I know, when Dongmei was in the sixth grade, we were at the same table in the primary school in Daliang Village. ”
"Winter ...... May?"
Huang Guodong's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly changed his words, "Oh no, your fourth sister, your fourth sister ......"
Li Yadong didn't take it to heart, he didn't think that the two of them still had a relationship, so he re-examined him, wearing an old dark blue cotton jacket with a few patches on it, probably because of the special preparation of the workmanship, the last time I saw him at home, it was not so shabby. The body is thin, the facial features are upright, the complexion is slightly sallow, and there are thick calluses on the hands, which gives people a very comfortable feeling, like a loyal person who can run a family.
"Do you like my fourth sister?"
"Huh?" Huang Guodong's face turned red all of a sudden, where had he been asked so bluntly, and he hesitated for a long time, but he didn't know how to reply.
"It's hard to answer?" Li Yadong restrained his smile and said: "If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, if you don't like it, if you don't like it, you have to fight for it." ”
Huang Guodong was stunned suddenly, he was not stupid after all, he raised his head, and looked at this talented person who had been very miraculous in surprise, and always felt that he had something to say, and he was a little biased towards his own meaning.
He took a deep breath and replied in a firm tone, "I like it!"
"Look, it's actually not difficult, if you like it, you have to express it. Li Yadong smiled.
"I can create a chance for you, as for whether you can impress my sister, it depends on you, and my mother's side, in fact, you don't have to care too much, as long as my sister sees it, she will probably not hinder it. ”
"Really?" Huang Guodong was overjoyed when he heard it, he had a good impression of Li Dongmei when he was a child, and when he left the school in the future, this good feeling slowly evolved into a longing, and when he grew up, he would always find an excuse to go to their village to see, although he had pounced many times, but there were always one or two encounters, and he also said a few words, which made him feel very satisfied.
Until the end of last year, when I heard that she wanted to ask for someone, I was completely panicked, and I mustered up a lot of courage to persuade my parents, who were a little afraid to climb high, and invited a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage, but unfortunately the result was not ideal.
Originally, he thought that he had figured it out, and he was indeed not worthy of her, and it was a good thing that her mother was demanding, and he hoped that she could marry a good family, but now that he suddenly heard her brother say this, the fire that was hidden in his heart was like being doused with diesel, and it burned with a bang.
"Trick you into having meat to eat?" Li Yadong said angrily: "I will arrange for her to come here to help, and the rest is up to you." ”
Huang Guodong listened, his eyes were full of light, and when he saw him turn around to leave, he replied heavily, "Thank you!"
Li Yadong's footsteps paused slightly, and he didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward, praying in his heart: I hope that my vision is right.
During this time, he has observed no less than ten young students, but it seems that Huang Guodong, who has poor family conditions and is not very conspicuous, shows the most ups and downs.
As a person who has come over, Li Yadong knows that it is because he cares.
His fourth sister is a very unassertive, cowardly and timid person, and he privately thinks that it is more important than anything else to find someone who will really let her, accommodate her, and love her.
When he returned home in the evening, Li Yadong discussed this matter with his mother and fourth sister, Li Dongmei was very happy, she always felt that she couldn't interfere in the affairs of the family, and now she finally has the opportunity to help.
As for getting married, let's let it go first.
"Mother, sister Xu is not in a hurry to do things, you let her go out to see the world, maybe she will have her own opinion......"
Hu Xiuying still didn't agree a little, Li Yadong persuaded for a while, and finally relented.
On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, Li Yadong took his third brother to the county, and first went to Zhang Chunxi's roast duck restaurant to have a look, which opened next to a large turntable, next to the bus station, and the business was really hot.
At noon, Zhang Chunxi was brought to have a meal, accompanied by a director of the county department store.
This is the relationship that Li Yadong has asked Zhang Chunxi to find a long time ago, and spent forty yuan to buy two bicycle rolls from him.
In the afternoon, he went to pick up the car, and after returning the kick to Zhang Chunxi, Li Yadong and his third brother pedaled the brand-new permanent brand 28 bars and went home.
The reason why I bought a car is for convenience, Jiangzhong is a little far away from their village, and it is convenient to come back to see it from time to time with a bicycle, and there will definitely be someone stationed there in the future, his mother is at home alone, Li Yadong is not at ease, according to his meaning, several brothers and sisters take shifts, and someone has to go home every day.
Tomorrow Li Yadong is ready to return to Beijing, the time has dragged on long enough, and it is not easy to explain if he does not go back to school, and the family rushed back from the construction site in the evening, and ate a meal of good wine and food, and after the meal, Li Yadong called the second sister and the third brother to the room, and handed over the 5,000 yuan that had been prepared to them.
At this point, the fifteen,000 yuan he brought back was basically spent.
Li Yadong also told them his BB phone number, and usually exchanged letters, and if there was anything urgent, he would go to the town to find a phone to call him.
On the morning of the seventeenth day of the lunar month, after the family had a good cold for a while, Li Yadong carried his duffel bag and embarked on the journey back to Beijing, his third brother rode a bicycle to send him to the county.
After buying a long-distance bus ticket at 10 o'clock in the morning, Li Yadong also went to a cotton company, and his eldest brother told him a bunch of big truths, the general meaning is nothing more than to let him concentrate on learning, and stop doing half-hearted things.
