In the courtyard, Li Rui asked, "Why don't you go home?" Li Feiyan said, "I'll wait to make you dinner." Li Rui smiled: "Don't be like this, my eldest sister, I beg you, you better hurry home." I'm here to help the poor in the countryside, not to be an uncle. You always go in and out of my house to serve me, and in the eyes of others, they think that I am playing bureaucratic style. You're not doing me any good, you're doing me harm. Li Feiyan said: "But my man asked me to come and serve you." Li Rui smiled: "Your man is so polite, I haven't helped him find a sales channel for his rockery bonsai, he treats me like this, I'm really ashamed." ”

Li Feiyan said: "Don't worry, no one will know that I came to you." Even if I walk into this alley, people will think that I came to my sister's house, who knows if I came to you?" Li Rui thought about it for a while, and sighed: "You serve me all day long, and you don't have time to rest at all, I'm really sorry for you." Li Feiyan pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't be polite to me, I am willing to serve you......" Speaking of this, he was a little embarrassed and didn't continue. Li Rui said: "Come on, go into the house and drink some water." ”

The two were chatting and drinking water in the house, and when it was past five o'clock, Li Feiyan got up and said, "I'll cook for you." ”

Li Rui really couldn't accept such a beauty's kindness, and was thinking about how to refuse, when a woman in the courtyard outside shouted: "Director Li, Director Li, I'm Huang Cuifen, let's go, go to my house for dinner, the meals are ready, hehe." ”

When Li Feiyan heard that she was coming, her pretty face sank.

Li Rui was afraid that Huang Cuifen would be cranky when she walked in and saw Li Feiyan in her house again, so she hurriedly rushed out of the door, intercepted her in the yard, and said, "Director Huang, you are too polite, no need, I can just eat at home." Huang Cuifen directly stretched out her hand to pull his arm, and said, "No, no, I heard that you have eaten at the house of Wang Zhishu and Director Xie, so you sent it to my house, how can you not go? As he spoke, he pulled him out. Li Rui saw that it was difficult to be warm, although he knew that she might not have good intentions, but he couldn't refuse, and sighed: "Alas, okay, wait for me to go back and get something." Huang Cuifen smiled heartily: "Don't take anything, you have it at home." Li Rui snorted and turned back into the house.

In the house, Li Rui whispered to Li Feiyan: "She invited me to her house for dinner, I can't refuse, I can only go over, don't be busy, go home quickly." Li Feiyan looked at him pitifully and asked, "When will you come back?" Li Rui lost his voice and said, "You don't want to wait for me to come back, do you?" Li Feiyan was really reluctant to him, and there was a strong reluctance in her beautiful eyes, and she said, "You tell me first, when will you come back?" Li Rui said: "Come back after eating." Li Feiyan said: "Then I'll come back after eating." ”

Li Rui was flattered and said, "What are you doing here?" Li Feiyan said, "I'll wash your clothes." Li Rui said: "Haven't you washed all the laundry during the day? Why are you still washing? There is nothing to wash." Li Feiyan said shyly: "Then I'll wash your socks." Li Rui was moved and said, "My socks stink, so I won't be disgusting to you." Hurry home, rest early after eating, and don't run around outside. Li Feiyan said: "It's okay, I often come to play with my sister at night." Leave it alone, I'll come back when I'm done eating. Seeing that she was disobedient, Li Rui was not only not angry, but a little happy, nodded, and said, "Okay, then I'll see you in the evening." Don't go out yet, and then you can go out when I leave with Director Huang. Li Feiyan nodded obediently, with a sweet smile on her face.

Li Rui saw that her well-behaved appearance was very cute, and he couldn't wait to touch her sharp chin, this kind of thought didn't have the idea of obscenity, but out of the pure love for her in his heart, he smiled at her, walked out of the house quickly, and left with Huang Cuifen.

This is not the first time she has come to Huang Cuifen's house, but every time Li Rui comes over, she can be shocked by her family's poverty every time, and can't help asking: "Brother's asthma can't be cured?" Huang Cuifen said lightly: "What else can be cured, no one can die anyway, so let's do it, and there is no spare money at home." Li Rui saw that she was so ruthless and unrighteous, so he couldn't wait to turn around and leave immediately, and suddenly heard the coughing sound in the house, thought about it, and walked in again.

The north house of Huang Cuifen's house is also an old gray brick adobe house, with a total of three rooms. Entering the house is a hall house and a kitchen, but it is not a place for hospitality, and the place where people in the countryside treat guests is generally in the bedroom. To the left and right of the hall are two rooms, east and west, and two bedrooms.

Huang Cuifen led Li Rui to the east house, the east house is both a living room and a bedroom, the layout is very simple, on the left hand side of the door is an old TV cabinet, on which is an old-fashioned peony brand black and white TV, opposite the TV cabinet is a fire kang, which occupies all the space in the middle of the east and west south walls, there are futons piled up in the corner of the fire kang, and there is an old-fashioned wooden window on the south wall. Huang Cuifen's man sat on the edge of the kang. A table has been set up between the TV cabinet and the ondol, on which are placed a few plates of simple cold dishes, as well as a bottle of two pot heads and a few wine glasses.

Huang Cuifen's man is the same age as Huang Cuifen, but due to his perennial illness, he has aged early, and coupled with the lingering sickbed, he has become a lewd and thin little old man.

Li Rui did not have the slightest contempt and disgust for him, some just pity, both pity for his fate and sympathy for his marital experience, thinking that he was already sick, and he had a wife like Huang Cuifen, this life is really ...... Alas, I don't know what evil he did in his previous life, so he walked over and took the initiative to greet him: "Big brother, I'm going to trouble you tonight." The man heard Huang Cuifen talk about Li Rui's identity and importance, and grinned: "Don't see outside, you are a guest at home...... cough cough cough cough ......" Li Rui said: "Big brother, you should apply for poverty alleviation funds, and then you can cure the disease first." ”

Huang Cuifen interjected: "The doctor has already sentenced him to death, what else can he treat! Director Li, ignore him, sit down quickly." Here are a few plates of cold dishes, you eat first, I'll go make a few stir-fries, and it's good right away, hehe. After saying that, he turned around and went to the hall to get busy.

Li Rui saw that the man had a simple and desolate smile on his face, his heart was full of sympathy, and he just wanted to take out his wallet, take out a wad of banknotes from it and hand it to him to let him go to the doctor first, but he also understood in his heart that there were still many poor households like him in the poor village who were poor due to illness, and it was impossible for him to send money to everyone, and even if he sent money, his own money may not be able to cure other people's diseases.

He thought about it, got up and came to the hall, and saw Huang Cuifen squatting on the ground to add firewood to the stove, the fat buttocks stood out, bulging like two big leather balls, and said in his heart that this woman is really plump in terms of figure, no wonder Xie Sanping can hook up with her, and said: "Director Huang, after the revision of the small loan application method this time, you should take out some loans together, start a small industry, and make money for the eldest brother to see a doctor." ”

Huang Cuifen was not happy when she heard this, and said: "Don't talk about whether you make money or not, I won't take out a loan, I have to repay the loan, and there is interest, is this poverty alleviation or earning our hard-earned money? I don't take a loan, I want to wait for the poverty alleviation money that doesn't cost money." Li Rui frowned and said: "How can it be so easy to get down the poverty alleviation funds that don't cost money, you have to wait for a while." Huang Cuifen smiled: "It's okay, there is always a day to come down." When the time comes, with our friendship, you can give me more approvals. Li Rui sneered in his heart, this woman is really greedy to the extreme, but she doesn't use her brain to think about it, how can there be such a good thing, and patiently admonished: "The situation of your family is special, and the eldest brother's illness can't be delayed any longer, otherwise the burden on your family will be heavier in the future......"

Huang Cuifen immediately scolded: "I, Huang Cuifen, don't know what kind of sin I have created, how can I make such a sick seedling, I can't make money to support me, I have to make money to support him, what kind of world is this, I'm really unlucky...... Director Li, you have to give me a comment, how can there be a poor person like me? I will be wronged when I mention it, I am more wronged than a little cabbage......

Hearing this, Li Rui couldn't listen anymore, and said angrily: "Director Huang, how are you talking? Husband and wife are originally connected by the same fate and want to support and help each other, how can you say that because the eldest brother is sick?" Huang Cuifen didn't know that he was angry, and said: "What's the matter, am I not right? The old men in the family are all strong and healthy, and they go out to work to support the family, why do I have such a sick seedling? I don't have any interest at all, I cough and cough on the kang all day long. cough cough, if you don't feed me, forget it, and drag me down to live a good life. Hmph, if I had this disease, I would just die, and I wouldn't be a drag on people, and I wouldn't have to suffer from sin!"

In this conversation between the two, there was no movement in the East House, and even the coughing sound disappeared.

Li Rui couldn't guess the man's mood when he heard these words, but his mood had been extremely bad by Huang Cuifen, let alone eating at her house, even if he stayed for another second, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, pretended that someone was calling, put it to his ear and said: "Hey, oh, well, okay, I'll rush back immediately......" After speaking, he said to Huang Cuifen: "I have something urgent to do, I must rush to the county immediately, so I won't eat yet, you can eat by yourself." With that, he ran out quickly.
