"Dad, you take me to the family at night, let's take advantage of this time to visit his father first, uncle, you are waiting outside the door for the eldest aunt and them to come back, anyway, the family can't sit down." Li Bayi saw that everyone had no intention of waiting at home, so he simply arranged.

Uncle Guo Yufang glanced at Li Bayi, with a hint of inexplicability in his eyes, and said to Li Yuanfang with a smile: "Third brother-in-law, go ahead, I and the two masters will wait for the eldest sister to come back." ”

"It's fine. By the way, his uncle, I don't know if the old man is still in the original place? Li Yuanfang turned to Guo Yufang and asked, "I haven't been here for several years." ”

"Well, it's still in the same place, but it was a dirt palm house before, and now it's a brick house."

Li Bayi went to the car and took a few gifts bought in Tuocheng, and followed his father to give birth to his family at night. Along the way, he walked through the village and alleys, causing local dogs to bite and bark, chasing after them in groups. Father twisted a wooden stick in his hand, threatening from time to time, Li Ba was holding a gift in his hand, calm, he was a dog, but he was not afraid of dogs.

The house of the family at night is indeed well built, wide and wide, with white walls and green tiles, cement paving, and the most important thing is the separation of people and animals, and the yard and dam are clean.

As soon as Li Bayi and his father stepped into the red iron gate, a big black-haired dog pounced on them, followed by a snow-white little pug barking milkily, which startled his father.

The owner was in the kitchen, heard the dog barking, and hurriedly came out to drive it away, it was an old woman in her fifties.

"Sister-in-law, what about the 'night old man'? To at home? When my father saw the old woman, he asked with a smile.

The old woman had good eyesight, and immediately recognized her father, and immediately said enthusiastically: "It's Li Yuanfang, hurry up and sit in the house, you haven't been to my house for several years, and you thought you had forgotten about us." Then he replied to Li Yuanfang's question, "The old man has gone to herd the sheep, and I will call someone to call him back in a while, and you will sit in the house first." ”

The father and son sat on the sofa in the hall, and the old woman poured tea, melon seeds and fruits, and it seemed that the old couple was having a good life.

"This is my eldest son, who is now studying at Nanzhong University." The father proudly introduced his son to the old woman, and pointed to the old woman to Li Bayi, "This is your old mother." ”

Li Bayi shouted "old mother" politely in his enthusiasm, put the gift in his hand on the table, and said with a smile: "This is a little nutritional product I bought in Tuocheng, to replenish the body of the two elders, I hope you are healthy and safe." ”

The first time they met, the old woman liked Li Bayi very much, and she praised happily: "Oh, this child is so polite, you are blessed from afar, college student, you have raised a good son." Then he said a little complainingly, "Come on, what kind of gifts do you want to buy, my old man has been talking about what you did to us back then." ”

The father and son sat and drank tea for a while, chatted with the old woman, and before the "night old man" came back, the eldest aunt came back and came to call someone. The father and son said goodbye, saying that they would come back when the "old man of the night" returned.

"This is Janko, right? Why is it so skinny. Li Bayi asked with a smile when he saw the thin black child with his heels and tails behind his aunt.

"Also...... Don't shout yet...... Shouting people? This...... This...... It's you...... You're ...... That's you, old watch...... You three...... Sangu...... Daddy. Shout...... Shout, die...... Dead Child, Man ...... Everybody ...... None of ...... Shouting......" The eldest aunt tugged at her little son, who was holding on to the corner of her clothes, and said in a stammering voice.

The child was about ten years old, wearing a tattered shirt and no pants, and was extremely timid, just holding the legs of the eldest aunt tightly, keeping his head down, and not shouting. Li Bayi really can't compare it with Yang Ke twenty years later.

Yang Ke grew up to be very hard-working, because of the poverty of his family, he went to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Lingnan and other places alone to work, as a coolie, and would send 10,000 yuan home every year. But he was too honest, and he couldn't find a wife until Li Bayi was reborn.

When I returned to my aunt's house, my aunt was also there, but Da Qiangzi had not come back from herding sheep.

"Eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, after Li Bayi went to college, he made a lot of money, and when he came back from vacation this time, he heard that Da Qiangzi had tuberculosis and had no money for treatment, so he hurriedly asked me to find a car to see you. You guys make arrangements, and we will take Da Hadron to Tuocheng for medical treatment. In big hospitals, the disease is easy to treat. ”

The old uncle pointed at Li Bayi and said loudly to the eldest aunt and eldest aunt with a smile. He was also very happy in his heart, his nephew had a chance, and he remembered to help his poor relatives. This remark also has the meaning of helping Li Bayi make a name for himself.

As soon as the eldest aunt heard that her eldest son had been saved, she immediately cried bitterly, and the pain caused by the backlog of her long life and the news that her son was expected to be saved were all released in tears of laughter and crying.

The uncle shed tears, and Li Bayi also shed tears.

The eldest aunt did not speak, but went out in silence, and after a while a fire was lit in the stove. By the time Da Qiangzi was found from the mountain, his aunt had already cooked the meal.

The dishes are very rich, a large bowl of bacon, a large bowl of scrambled eggs, a pot of lightly boiled bitter vegetables, a vegetarian stir-fried lotus white, and a pot of chicken.

Very rich indeed.

These vegetables, except for bitter herbs and lotus white, may have been grown by the eldest aunt's family, and the others were borrowed.

In his previous life, Li Bayi only came to his aunt's house once, and that was when he was about to graduate from college, and asked his sister Li Lian to bring him. Because my sister only came once when she was young, the two rode bicycles, walked all the way and asked questions, and didn't find my aunt's house until four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

The eldest aunt went to herd the sheep, but she was not at home, so the eldest aunt was there. The eldest aunt hurriedly gave the whole meal to the brothers and sisters, and what they ate was a bowl of bacon, a bowl of scrambled eggs, and a bowl of boiled bitter vegetables.

Because they didn't wait for the eldest aunt, the brother and sister left after eating. It was only later that I learned that the meal that the two brothers and sisters ate was a year's food for the eldest aunt's family.

According to the mother, the eldest aunt's family had no money to kill pigs for two or three years, and the bowl of bacon was actually brought back to the eldest aunt after the uncle's family killed the New Year pigs. The eldest aunt's family is reluctant to eat, just hanging on the beam above the pot head, and when she is really hungry, she takes it down and rubs it around the side of the pot, so that the fried or boiled vegetables are stained with a little oil star flavor, and it is too enjoyable.

The eldest aunt herded the sheep home when the sun went down, and cried because she didn't see Li Bayi's brothers and sisters.

After Li Bayi heard this, his heart was sour for a long time, and he kept thinking that if he had money, he would definitely help his aunt's family. But throughout his life, he couldn't help his aunt's family even a little.
