It is very tiring to make a warm house wine, and the relatives set off from their respective homes early in the morning to come to Li's house, and there is dinner after noon.

Dinner starts early, and the meal starts on time at four o'clock in the afternoon, and the host family has to take care of relatives who are far away, so that they can rush back in time after eating.

Li Liang, like his parents and sister, was also busy all day. Fortunately, the relatives on both sides of the parents are very good, and several uncles and aunts and second uncles and aunts are very helpful, helping the Li family to greet other guests from time to time.

Dinner lasted from four o'clock until six o'clock, and the guests left one after another. There was a mess of pots and dishes left, but fortunately, with Chen Chunhua's host, with the help of everyone, the house was finally cleaned at more than eight o'clock in the evening.

Wang Xiulan left her mother's family and her mother-in-law's relatives behind, and now that there are many rooms at home, she has already prepared a guest shop. She left Li Liang's grandparents, her mother-in-law, and several younger brothers and her family in the new house, and she and her husband Li Shuangzhu and her second brother Li Shuangzhu's family all returned to the old house. Li Liang and his cousin Li Hao went back to their old room to live together.

The little cousin Li Yin had already been captured by her sister's boudoir, and she was reluctant to leave when she stayed in the new house, so Li Meng pulled her to live with her.

After arranging the washing of the relatives here, Li Liangcai returned to his old house with his parents and second uncle's family.

"Big brother, your house is really magnificent!"

On the way, the second uncle Li Shuangzhi praised vigorously, and he was very envious of the eldest brother's house.

"Second uncle, you also build a building in your hometown, and I will ask my brother-in-law and their company to get it then!" Li Liang came up with an idea.

"Second uncle, I want to too, but now the camellia tree in the mountain behind the second uncle has only been planted for less than a year, and now I have borrowed so much money from my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and it will take at least a few years to build a house!" Li Shuangzhi sighed.

Li Liang had the heart to say that his family's money didn't have to be repaid, but he knew that it was not appropriate for him to say this, and it was best for his mother to say it.

"Erzhu, you don't have to be pressured, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are not bad for money now, you don't have to think about repaying the money now. Wang Xiulan took over the conversation and continued, "Since your back mountain has been wrapped, try to use it as much as possible, I remember that there seem to be two wild ponds at the foot of the mountain, why don't you clean up these two wild ponds, raise fish, and raise some pigs and pheasants, this day will definitely be prosperous soon!"

Wang Xiulan's idea is very reliable, in fact, in his previous life, without Li Liang's golden finger guidance, his second uncle developed Yeshantang to raise fish, and the benefits were not bad, and he was considered a good family in the early countryside.

Aunt Meng Qingxiu said on the side: "Sister-in-law, we also have this plan, but during the Chinese New Year, the third brother said that Liangzi had an idea and wanted us to use the other vacant land in the back mountain to plant a little kiwifruit." In April, the third brother also sent us a letter, saying that he was going to let a classmate who worked in the Agricultural Bureau come to his home to help see if the soil quality of the back mountain was suitable for growing kiwifruit. But now two months later, no one has come to the house. ”

Li Liang was immersed in learning during this time, if it weren't for his aunt Meng Qingxiu mentioning it now, he would have almost forgotten about asking his uncle Kiwi.

"Auntie, don't worry, I asked my uncle about this matter, and he also wrote to me, I heard that this fruit sells very well in Hong Kong City and European and American countries, and the price is also very high.

Today is the first of June, and I have 20 days to take the high school entrance examination. Li Liang said.

"You're going to Yangcheng?"

Li Liang's parents and second uncle and aunt asked in surprise at the same time, no wonder they were surprised, Li Liang is not yet 16 years old this year, although he has looked sensible this year, but he is really not at ease with such a long road!

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I have this plan. If you don't worry, let's go to Yangcheng to see Uncle at that time. By the way, I'm so big, I haven't been that far away!" Li Liang said excitedly.

"Well, we'll talk about it then!"

"Second uncle, second aunt, don't worry, now go back and clean up the wild pond first, and give the village the contracting fee, everyone will definitely live better and better in the future, and fish will definitely not be marketable!" Li Liang said with relief, "Don't worry about the lack of money, my parents can still send some here, if it's not enough, find my parents." ”

"Yes, Ryoko is right. Big brother, I'm living a good life now, and I won't let you fall behind. Big brother, these people are in the city, and they don't take much care of their parents, usually thanks to the two of you, you don't have to be polite to your eldest brother and sister-in-law!" Li Shuangzhu is a very emotional person, and he is very satisfied with the affection and righteousness shown by his son Li Liang.

"Then thank you big brother and sister-in-law!" Li Shuangqi and his wife Meng Qingxiu thanked them from the bottom of their hearts.

"It's all a family, don't say such things!" Wang Xiulan said busily.

Meng Qingxiu is very satisfied with his eldest brother-in-law's family, he has been married to the Li family for more than ten years, and his eldest son Li Hao is already 15 years old.

Although my father-in-law and mother-in-law have lived with their own family since they got married, they rely on their own two to take care of them on weekdays. But in fact, my father-in-law is a teacher in a township school, and he has a fixed salary every month, and the eldest brother's family will buy oil, salt, rice, and grain for the family every once in a while. Compared to the rest of the village, this day is really sweeter than honey. The mother-in-law is also in good health, from marrying in to giving birth to a child and confinement, the mother-in-law serves her very well.

In the words of her mother-in-law, her daughter also married into someone else's family as a daughter-in-law. I am better to my daughter-in-law, and I hope that my daughter's mother-in-law will also be good to my daughter.

Marrying into such a good family, not only the people in the village, but also his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law are very envious of marrying such a good family. Especially in the spring of this year, when I and my husband Li Shuangzhu went back to their parents' house to pay New Year's greetings, I inadvertently said that my eldest brother Li Shuangzhu borrowed thousands of yuan for himself to contract the back mountain of the village to plant camellia trees. The envious eyes of his parents, brother and sister-in-law are simply overflowing.

In private, her husband also told him that the eldest brother's family should not urge him to repay the money, and he may not even ask for the borrowed money in the future.

A few people were talking, and soon arrived at the old house of the Li family, and heard the excited sound of the sunspots in the yard of the old house from a distance, it was the most loyal little friend of the family.

opened the door, Li Liang poured the bones and leftovers into the sunspot's food bowl, today's food is really good, the oil and water of the leftovers are also full, and the tail of the sunspot can't stop wagging non-stop.

Wang Xiulan hurriedly went to the kitchen to boil some hot water for everyone to wash their faces and feet. It was already June, the weather was very hot, Li Shuangzhu and his younger brother Li Shuangzhu were not afraid of the cold, and directly drew cold water from the well to rinse.

Li Liang and his cousin Li Hao were also reluctant to use hot water, so the two of them giggled and washed their faces and feet with a basin of cold water. I was so tired today that Li Liang fell asleep while lying on the bed, and he didn't even hear his cousin Li Hao talking to him.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Wang Xiulan got up and called her husband Li Shuangzhu up. She went into Li Liang's small room to wake Li Liang up, and advised: "Son, parents will go to the new house to cook for everyone first, and then you will go to your sister's room and call your second uncle and aunt up, and you will rush over for dinner at 7 o'clock, do you know?"

Li Liang slept in a daze and responded, "Hmm!"

When he came back to his senses, Li Liang suddenly heard the sound of the second uncle calling for him and Li Hao to get up.

"Liangzi, Haohao, get up soon!"

Li Liang opened his eyes and saw that the sky was already bright. He hurriedly got dressed and walked to the yard with his cousin Li Hao to wash. Then the four of them went out and walked to the Li family's new house.

When we arrived at the new house, it was bustling with activity. Li Liang's three aunts are all helping Wang Xiulan serve food.

The meal in the morning is relatively simple, I pick up the dishes that I didn't finish last night, heat it up, and eat a makeshift meal.

Everyone has no opinions, and now the rural treats are like this, and they are reluctant to throw away leftovers.

After breakfast, everyone sat together and chatted. Li Liang and his sister Li Meng do logistics work for everyone, constantly pouring water and adding melon seeds and peanuts to the table.

Wang Xiulan was going to go grocery shopping and prepare the ingredients for noon. The eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the second uncle were busy asking Wang Xiulan not to go to work, and the two of them would go back after a while.

They all have chickens, ducks, pigs and other domestic animals at home, and yesterday's day of playing here is already the limit. If you don't go back today, these domestic animals will go hungry.

In the second half of last year, although the land was divided into households, the public grain is now handed over to the heavier ones, and in addition to the public grain, there are also pooled funds and retention funds that must be handed over to the townships, towns, and village collectives.

The so-called overall funds mainly refer to the five overall planning items, namely, education surcharges, family planning expenses, militia training expenses, civil affairs preferential care expenses, and private transportation expenses, which are mainly used for township education, public health, broadcasting, and other undertakings. The retention fund refers to the provident fund, community chest, and management fee handed over to the village collective. Among them, the provident fund is used for farmland and water conservancy construction, afforestation, the purchase of productive fixed assets and the establishment of collective enterprises, the public welfare fund is used for the support of the five guarantees, subsidies for extremely poor households, cooperative medical care and other welfare undertakings, and the management expenses are used for the remuneration of village cadres and management expenses.

These agricultural taxes and pooled retention funds are like the three mountains of the old society, which overwhelm the peasants.

In the case that the farming does not encounter natural disasters**, after paying these payments, in addition to what you eat at home, there is not much food left to sell for money. All the hard-working families in the countryside basically raise a few pigs, and some will raise one or two cows. As for chickens and ducks, that is the usual source of meat and oil and salt at home. Many families rely on selling some eggs, duck eggs to change oil and salt.

Li Liang's parents came from the countryside, and when they were young, they often helped the family feed pigs and cattle, so they knew all about it. They couldn't persuade them again, so Wang Xiulan found an excuse and left her father-in-law and mother-in-law and her mother-in-law. The young people have to go back to make ends meet, and the old people stay here for a few more days.

Wang Xiulan then went out to buy vegetables, went to the sales department of the supply and marketing cooperative, bought some tobacco, alcohol, canned food, etc., divided it into three parts, and asked her younger brothers to take it back. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
