"Big sister, it's not me talking about you, what are you talking about, just the conditions of Wang Datou, the richest man in Wang Village next door, and his family, how many people can't stammer, you don't want to leave you here. ”

"But ......"

"What else is it, my eldest sister, your eldest baby is eighteen this year, right? I can't learn this, and I can't be a bachelor at home." Besides, Wang Datou's girl is so smart, your baby can't suffer a loss in the past. ”

As soon as the matchmaker Huang Po entered the courtyard of the Li family, she pulled a middle-aged woman and persuaded her bitterly.

The woman's name is Peng Lanhua and she is the mistress of the Li family.

"What, into the family, who do you think of my old Li family?"

Li Jinde, a man from the Li family, ran out of the room shirtless and glared at Huang Po.

"Lao Li, you are not young, you have achieved nothing all these years, and you still want to save face, how much can face be worth? Not to mention, just this time, your eldest baby was stabbed a few times, and there is no money to treat it, if it weren't for Wang Datou calling a barefoot doctor, would your baby be able to live again? ”

Seeing Li Jinde's face flushed, Huang Po hit the railway while it was hot: "Lao Li, you have to look forward to being a man, the feudal set is unacceptable, when is it, and the son-in-law who comes to the door is nothing to see anyone." ”

Li Xian, who was in a haze, was woken up by the sound outside the door, and the first scene he saw when he opened his eyes was the black tiles above his head.

He looked around in surprise, strange yet somewhat familiar.

The walls are mottled with yellow mud and withered grass, and the dust that falls off is blown down by the wind.

He gently rolled over and got off the bed made of straw stalks, put on a pair of worn-out old-fashioned cloth shoes, ignored the pain in his chest, and walked to the front of the calendar in the lobby outside, and looked at it for a long time.

It reads: March 10, 1990.

"Da Xian is awake?" Peng Lanhua, who entered the house and scooped the valley, saw Li Xian, and was surprised and delighted, "The doctor told you to lie in bed more, go back to the house quickly, don't catch a cold." ”

Li Xian turned his head suddenly, looked at the woman, his eyes froze, and he hugged the woman all of a sudden: "Mom, you're still there, really still there!"

Peng Lanhua was inexplicably puzzled by him, patted him lightly on the back, and the corners of her eyes moistened: "You kid, did you hear Huang Po's words?

Huang Po, who heard the sound, lowered her face and said, "Big sister, what are you talking about?

"Got into it?" Li Xian was stunned, and he hadn't recovered from the shock just now.

"What's the matter? You still want to marry Ming Media, and I don't want to see what your conditions are?" Huang Po crossed her bucket-like waist and laughed at Li Xian.

Li Xian remembered the past, this Huang Po came to talk to the matchmaker.

"Why don't you Huang San go to enjoy the blessings?" Li Xian glanced at her, turned around and went into the house to put on a coat, the early spring morning was a little cold.

"My third son doesn't have your blessings, and the king wants you by name. Seeing Peng Lanhua picking up a handful of millet to feed the chickens, Huang Po was a little anxious: "Li Xian's mother, you give a sentence!"

"If you don't have the will, we won't agree. Peng Lanhua shook her head, didn't look at her, and scattered another handful of grain.

Huang Po grabbed Peng Lanhua's sleeve and said: "As the old saying goes, marriage is a big event, and the words of the matchmaker are the orders of the parents, and I have this matchmaker, but you don't have the courage to be parents?"

Li Xian secretly sighed that Huang Po's mouth was indeed the material for a matchmaker, but he would not agree to this kind of thing, not because of shame, but this time, he wanted to control his own fate.

"You tell Wang Datou that I won't agree, let him die of this heart. Li Xian looked around at the environment of his home and shouted to Huang Po.

"It's a shame that Wang Datou has worked hard to help you find a doctor, you, you are a white-eye......d wolf," Huang Po angrily pointed at Li Xian's back and scolded.

"What? How much benefit did Wang Datou give you?" Li Xian glanced at Huang Po with disgust, and naturally knew that Wang Datou was not a good person, he was stingy, and often bullied his neighbors, even the barefoot doctor who treated the disease was still his brother-in-law, and his medical skills were not very good, but the cost was real.

When Huang Po heard this, she immediately choked, and her old face turned red.

"Da Xian said he didn't agree, why don't you leave quickly! Bring back all the things you brought, can my old Li still be without Wang Datou's tattered?" Li Jinde carried a hoe, glanced at Huang Po, and walked out of the courtyard.

"You, you, okay, I'll go!" Huang Po stomped her feet angrily and carried away a chicken and a few sweet potatoes she had brought.

Li Xian stood in the fenced courtyard, looked at the blue sky, and said silently in his heart: "I really went back to 1990, not dreaming." ”

Memories of the past flooded back, and this year he was eighteen years old, not too tall nor too short, lean and lean.

Looking at his busy mother, he suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he had been running around, and his mother was unwilling to live in the city with him, and she died before she had time to fulfill her filial piety.

Because of perennial fatigue, my father fell ill early, and spent the rest of his life almost in bed, dying before his mother.

He also has a younger brother Li Shuang, who is four years younger than him, and has worked hard outside all his life, and later married a daughter-in-law in the city, but because he was born in the countryside, he suffered from the white eyes of his mother's family.

Speaking of which, everything is caused by poverty, if there is money, the father will not be unwilling to treat the disease, and he will be sick in bed all the year round, and the mother will not live alone in the countryside because of the small house and fear of affecting their family......

Since he has lived a new life, he decided that he must live as a person and redeem his past regrets one by one.

Lunch was a large bowl of boiled vegetable leaves with a hint of earthiness.

Li Xianba took a few bites of the rice whose shell had not faded, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks, and he had no appetite when he had just recovered from a serious illness.

"Orchid, kill that old hen and stew it to make up for Daxian. Seeing this, Li Jinde said sullenly.

Peng Lanhua was a little distressed, after all, she was the only hen in the family that laid eggs, but she still nodded and agreed: "Kill it later, Daxian should also make up for it, but it's a pity that Xiaoshuang is at school, otherwise you can try it." ”

As soon as Li Xian wanted to open his mouth to refuse, he heard a call from outside the door: "Li Xian, Li Xian, I'm coming to see you!"

A person about the same age as Li Xian ran in in a hurry, this person Li Xian recognized, it was his little Li Zhuzi, in the previous life, the pillar had been digging in the field all his life, and he would visit him in the city every year, bring him some local products, and every time he didn't eat, he left his things and left in a hurry.

During his years in the city, he was also a pillar to help take care of his mother.

"Zhuzi, have you eaten, let's eat together?" Peng Lanhua said with a smile.

"Take a pair of chopsticks to the pillar. Li Jinde pushed Peng Lanhua.

"No, uncle, aunt, I've eaten, and I'm here to find Li Xian. The pillar hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

"Li Xian, you are finally well, you can suffocate me to death these days. Zhu Zi brought a chair to sit down, looked at Li Xian and said.

"What, no one is playing with you anymore?" Li Xian knew that Zhuzi was born to move, he went up the mountain to pick birds, went down to the river to fish and was good at everything, but he didn't like to learn.

"That's not it, by the way, do you know how the village passed on you?" Looking at Li Xian's puzzled eyes, Zhuzi continued, "Say that you are ungrateful, you don't look down on the girl in Wang Datou's family, and you won't marry her if you die, so let them die of this heart." Actually, Li Xian, I think you are really promising. ”

Li Jinde slapped his chopsticks on the table and said angrily: "It must be Huang Po's back chewing the root of her tongue." ”

"Huang Po is really not authentic in this matter. Peng Lanhua's eyes flashed with tears, looked at Li Xian and said, "Daxian, don't take it to heart, it will be over after a while." ”

Li Xian shrugged indifferently, some rumors in the village couldn't affect him anything, anyway, he wouldn't have too much intersection with them in this life.

After the meal, Li Xian and Zhuzi came to the river, looked at the dense small fish, and their eyes lit up: "Zhuzi, do you want to get some fish?"

"I'll go down to the river and touch it. As soon as the pillar was about to take off his clothes and shoes, he was stopped by Li Xian.

"No, that's too slow, bring your fish cage and I'll see if there's anything to use as bait." Li Xian turned around and walked home.

When he got home, he happened to see Peng Lanhua shedding tears while digging out the hen's internal organs, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

When Peng Lanhua saw Li Xian coming, she quickly wiped away her tears and squeezed out a smile: "I wanted to kill it a long time ago, eat all the food, and don't lay eggs." ”

Li Xian also smiled, walked over and put the internal organs on the ground in a bowl, and said, "Mom, I took the internal organs and used them." ”

"Alas, go, go, come back early, be careful with your body. ”

"Got it!"

Li Xian returned to the river, put the entrails into the fish cage brought by the pillar, and threw the fish cage into a deep water.

Sitting on the shore, Li Xian thought about it carefully, the most important thing at the moment is to improve life, in this era, there are business opportunities everywhere, and what is lacking is a pair of discerning eyes.

He doesn't lack a pair of discerning eyes, but he lacks start-up capital, and he is afraid that he can't get ten yuan out of the current situation at home.

"Li Xian, the bastard who hurt you that day was caught, and he is a habitual offender. The pillar suddenly spoke, interrupting Li Xian's thinking.

"Hmm. Li Xian replied, he was not very concerned, the law and order was not good in this era, and robberies and other things were common.

After almost two hours, Li Xian collected the fish cage, which was crowded with a lot of fish, and a few of them were large.

There is no polluted river water, and there are always a lot of fish, and it is easy to catch.

At dinner time, Li Xian left the pillar to eat, Peng Lanhua stewed a large pot full of chicken soup, fried small fish with chicken fat, and marinated the larger fish.

Speaking of which, the reason why people in the village rarely eat fish is because lard is expensive, and no one will waste fried fish casually.

Li Jinde went to the village chief's house and sold two taels of wheat wine, which was very strong.

Li Xian couldn't drink because of his injury, so he drank chicken soup silently, and Zhu Zi touched a glass with Li Jinde.

After eating, there was still a lot of chicken left, Peng Lanhua put the chicken in a bowl and said to Li Jinde: "Send some to Xiaoshuang tomorrow, he has a hard time at school alone." ”
