Section 96 Visitation (1)
Sent away a few partners, Tian (Tianjin) side immediately became deserted, Lu Li and Zhang Qing had to take care of the clothes and meat skewers at the same time, two stalls, very busy, although there were Liang sisters and brothers on the side to help, but they did the logistics is good, serious pick-up is not good at all, there are strangers to ask the price, the two sisters and brothers have become stuffy gourds, sighing for a long time, can't say a word, there is the anxious can't wait, turn around and leave.
Lu Li laughed, "You two, both are Kangtou kings!" What about those abilities at home? Why can't you even speak here? ”
"You can do it, then you come?"
Of course, Lu Li is okay, but he has too many things, and he really has some pain from lack of skills, first of all, Li Tiehan, he has been a few times before, and he is very interested in this kind of life of standing on the street selling clothes and selling meat skewers, and the bigger reason is that I heard Cao Xun say that the salary Lu Li gave them every month was as much as his income for three or five months! So I wanted to join in, but I didn't dare to make it clear to my father, and finally thought of a solution: "Why don't I go to work at night and come to you to help during the day?" ”
"I'm afraid it's not good, if you can sleep in the unit, it's naturally nothing for me to come the next day when you have enough energy, now your job is to work a night shift, and then come to me, your body will definitely not be able to withstand it."
"It's okay, I'm young, I can't have an accident."
"That's not good, you either come directly like Cao Xun and Xu Yunjian, or forget it; I don't agree with running at both ends like this. Luli said: "Danzi, let me tell you this, doing this kind of thing, it seems very simple, but in fact it is not like that, take selling clothes as an example, every piece sold, you have to make a record, and you can't record a single one." In the end, there will be a lot of trouble when you reconcile the accounts, and it will be a small matter if you lose money, and it will be troublesome if you hurt your buddy's feelings. ”
"I can write, I can record, why can't I?"
"I know you will, but like you. If you don't sleep for a long time, you will have to endure all the hard work, and in the end you will not be able to persevere, both physically and mentally, and the result will be that sooner or later, you will get into trouble - from this point of view, I would rather not let you join in than let you do this. ”
Li Tiehan felt regretful, smacked his lips, and asked without giving up: "That." So what do you say? ”
"I'm still the same sentence, if you really plan to come, explain it to your uncle and get the old man's consent."
"No, my father, the most honest of all, would tell him that I am doing this, and he would not agree - in his heart. Just let me work honestly in the unit, and then find a partner to marry. A lifetime of peace and security is over. ”
"Then I can't help it."
"Hey, Xiaoxiao, why don't you go and talk to my dad? My father always talked about the things back then, and he said, if I hadn't gone to Tangshan with you back then. I won't be so obedient later. So, he always felt as if he owed you a favor. If you do, he might be able to say yes. ”
Lu Li was stunned for a moment and asked, "Uncle doesn't know what happened to you in Tangshan back then?" ”
Li Tiehan smiled and said, "I don't know." I never mentioned it to him. What did things do in the past, anyway, I know now that I was wrong back then, isn't it over? Hey, what do you say? ”
"Well, I'll try it when I find time. I'm afraid I can't do it today, I have to go to Hedong in the evening. ”
"What are you doing in Hedong?"
"Luo Yaohua, you also knew him in Tangshan back then, I'll go with him to do something." Luli said: "When I am done with these few days, then I will go home with you and see what the old man means." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait a few more days."
Lu Li turned his head and called Liang Xin over again, took out an envelope and handed it to him, "This time I will give you 100 yuan, and I will spend it when I get there, and if I don't have it, I will write a letter." ”
"Little brother, last time you gave me money, my dad said that I was unproductive, that I was not full, and that I was not rich or anything, or was I ...... Forget it? ”
"Your father is saying that after you go to work, when you make your own money, you will no longer be able to reach out to others - if you are like this now, even if I don't give it, don't your parents have to give it too? Obedient, take it. ”
Liang Xin obediently took the envelope and put it in his arms, "Then, if there is nothing else, I'm busy?" ”
"You keep an eye on it here today, I have to leave a little early, go to pay a New Year's greeting first, and then there will be something to do in the evening."
"It's almost fifteen, why do you still pay New Year's greetings?"
"Yes, there is a relative who lives in Hedong, and I go late every year." Lu Li thought of his uncle's family, and smiled helplessly, "Okay, that's it, go back and tell your sister." Just leave the things to Zhang Qing. ”
"Got it."
Explained to Liang Xin, said hello to Zhang Qing again, took out the snacks and fruits bought in advance from the room, Lu Li got on a bicycle, crossed the Haihe River from Binjiang Road, and went straight to Hedong. went to the uncle's house first, knocked on the door, and it was Lu Jie, "Hey, Xiaoli, Happy New Year!" ”
"Brother Ming, Happy New Year. Is Auntie at home? I'm here to greet them. ”
"Yes, all in, I said you were here a few days ago, by the way, I will introduce you to someone by the way today." Lu Jie smiled, took the gift he was carrying, and the two brothers entered the house, "Xiaoli is here." ”
"Uncle, aunt, happy New Year. Lao Mao, Happy New Year. ”
"Xiaoli, are you here?" Uncle was even weaker than the last time he came to see Fan Xiaoyu's affairs, sitting on the only single sofa, wheezing, "Uncle, don't move, just sit." ”
"It's winter, I'm ...... Whew...... Wheezing, it's even more ...... Awesome. Oh, tell me, what can I do? I wanted to go to you, but my body really can't do it. ”
"Uncle, don't talk like that, you are so old, it is time to enjoy your old age, how can you turn around and look at your juniors? There is no such truth in the world. ”
"You see, Xiaoli can still speak, I'll just say, don't let this monster move, he won't listen!" The eldest lady was very warmly entertained, and turned around and said: "Lao Mao, Xiaoli is here, people have paid you a greeting, why don't you even say a word?" ”
Luna looks cool and Xiao Nai's mother, she has a big face, full of horizontal flesh, it is really not very good-looking, and she moved her eyes from the book when she heard this. And nodded to him, 'oh', even if it was said hello.
"Hey, Xiaoli, let me introduce you." The eldest lady said: "This is Xiao Yang, Yang Jie." Your brother Ming's object. Xiao Yang, this is Lao Ming's cousin, Lu Li. ”
Luli noticed her when she entered the door, but she was a very lovely girl, and she was completely different from the other mother and daughter. Sitting there very quietly, with a dignified appearance, "Hello." I have to call my sister-in-law this, right? ”
Lu Jie laughed. "Again, again. Let's wait for the New Year. ”
"Okay, when will the happy event be held?"
"The two families have already met, and they are ready to do a happy event on May Day."
、
"That's great, if you need anything at that time, uncle, just talk, let's be a family, you're welcome."
"I really need you to come and help. I'm afraid I can't support my body. When the time comes, we will have to build a tent, we will have to entertain, and we will have to receive us. Your aunt and Lao Mao are too busy. ”
"Okay, then it's decided, I'll come over then."
The eldest mother smiled and instructed her daughter, "Lao Mao, put your book away." Xiaoli can't come a few times a year, talk to him? ”
"Say, what do I have to talk to him? Didn't you see me in class? ”
"What grade is Lao Mao in now?"
"Sophomore, why are you asking this?"
Luli's heart is secretly on fire, I can't even ask? The older this kid gets, the more unruly he becomes! I talked a few words with the uncle's family. The eldest lady said: "It's rare for Xiaoli to come once, let's eat here at night, the eldest lady cooks noodles for you, and the Lantern Festival that people came to pay New Year's greetings last week, and bought it, wait a while to cook a few to taste?" ”
Lu Li was a little dazed, this kind of thing is not durable to hide for a long time, and if it is put for a week, it will not have deteriorated, right? Sure enough, Lu Jie asked, "Mom, I bought it last week, it's broken, right?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that the surface is a little discolored, the chopsticks scrape down a layer, don't eat it, wait a while, Xiao Yang will also eat a few, and help eat it, otherwise it's also a waste? But the Lantern Festival is quite sweet, you must love it. ”
Lu Li secretly looked at Yang Jie, the girl also had a helpless look, what should she do when she encounters such a family? He didn't stay any longer, stood up and said, "It's still not necessary, auntie, I still have something to do today, I have made an appointment with a friend to meet, wait a few days, and I'll come to see you in a few days." ”
"What's the matter, let's go? Why are you in a hurry, do you want to leave after eating? ”
"No, uncle, I'll come back later."
After leaving the uncle's family, it was already the time agreed with Luo Yaohua, and he rode to the Hedong branch where he worked, and after waiting for a while, Luo Yaohua pushed the bicycle out, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, you came early?" I'm not late, am I? ”
"Luckily, I've just arrived. How about we find a place to eat first? ”
"Okay, I'll ask you today. By the way, I will tell you something. ”
The weather of the first month of the lunar calendar, it was almost dark at five o'clock, there were only a few street lamps on the street, and the incandescent bulbs installed on them emitted a dim yellow light, stretching the figure long, Luo Yaohua was more familiar with the geography here, and took him to find a small restaurant, because there was something to do at night, and the two of them didn't want to drink, so they only ordered an old explosion three, a fish-flavored shredded pork, and a Wuchang fish, and each asked for rice, so they ate it.
"Our president's surname is Su, he lives at the intersection of Twelve Meridian Road and Jiuwei Road, I have been there once, and I talked before the Chinese New Year last year, and my colleagues went to visit the New Year, there are three children at home, two boys and one girl, two boys and three girls are in high school, and the eldest is now in college; In addition to these people, there are also President Su's mother and grandmother, who live with them, and their lives are not particularly rich, even if they are average. ”
Lu Li listened and ate for a moment, and when he finished introducing the situation, he put down his chopsticks and asked, "Does his wife, mother and grandmother all go to work?" ”
"His wife works on the street, which is somewhat similar to Aunt Xu's situation."
"I see, in this case, the conditions should not be very good. We don't have to buy too many gifts, you've already prepared snacks and fruits, haven't you? ”
"Yes. I'm afraid that these things won't be enough, you say, do you want to buy something more? ”
"No need, this time it's just a visit, it's a recognition of the door, and the days to come will be long. Let's wait until we meet - eat, why don't you eat? ”
Luo Yaohua smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaoxiao, I know that you are a good guy in this regard, but I can't, when I think of visiting like this, I always feel as if I am inferior." ”
"Don't worry, just practice more. This time, don't say that I'm any relative of yours, this kind of meaningless lie is completely unnecessary, and you have to pay attention to whether you leak out in the future. You said that I was your friend in the countryside, and introduced me to a few of them. Luli said, "But in the future, you'll have to come often, you know?" ”
"What do you mean by coming often, you don't want me to run every day, do you?"
"Of course not, but you and he are colleagues in the unit, if you know that he has something at home, no matter whether people ask you or ask you, you must take the initiative to step forward - don't sit like a stupid wood when you go to work, pat your ass and leave, and have a little more brainstorming, ah!"
"So, what about the specifics?"
"Your president has an old lady and a grandmother in his family, and the two old ladies are old, and it is inevitable that they are not in good health, if there is a headache and brain fever, isn't it just the time for a young man like you to help? Anyway, it's like that, after you have helped a few times, people will get used to your existence, and it will be much more convenient to do things in the future. ”
“…………”
"Hurry up and eat, we'll go when we're done."
"Don't go too early, come back to catch someone's house for dinner, isn't it?"
"There are two old people like this at home, the meal time must be relatively early, why can't you even think of this?"
Luo Yaohua paused for a moment, then chuckled, "TM's!" You kid, your brain is spinning so fast! (To be continued......)
