Xu Yunjian returned to the city four days later than scheduled, the complexion on his face was very unsightly, and when Lu Li saw him, he was startled, "What's wrong, your face is so ugly?" ”

"Don't mention it, when you drink every day, I say I can't drink, they don't listen, from Slippery Dragons to Lao Tong, there is not a day that doesn't pull me to drink, good guys, drink from the morning, three meals a day! I'm sick to death. ”

Luli smiled, "It's okay, just practice your drinking." ”

"What, don't listen to my dad, the amount of alcohol is innate, it's not a matter of practice at all!" Xu Yunjian's originally black and healthy face became a little gray, and he said listlessly: "Next time, you should go, I won't go, it's too bad." ”

"Okay, next time I'm going to—by the way, how's it going?"

"It's coming soon, I watched the things load the car before I left by train, and I should be there in the next day or two. How's it going, are you in a hurry? ”

"No, there was nothing a week ago."

"This time, 150 sheep are enough to sell for a while. Oh, Xiaoxiao, I remembered, what should I do with this thing in the summer, is it still sold? If you sell it, the mutton will be left for so many days, and it will not be spoiled? ”

"I'm also thinking, if it doesn't work, I'll find help from the anti-repair, they have cold storage, and the location is close to the South Railway Station, unload it from the station and directly transport the cold storage, if we use it, we will go to the cold storage to pick up the goods."

"Okay?"

"Things are man-made, and with a relationship like him, it can always be done."

Cao Xun opened his eyes, "Xiaoxiao, you tell the truth, did you think of it at the beginning?" ”

"No, not really. I just started buying and selling this kind of lamb skewers, and I came up with it, there is such a relationship, why not use it? Besides, it's good for the anti-repair -- you think, we're going to use cold storage. It must go through his and their leadership,...... Forget it, you'll understand when the time comes. ”

"Isn't it just a gift, what's the big deal?"

Cao Xun said: "Don't take anything seriously, anti-cultivation is also our buddy, there are good things, naturally we can't forget others." Small, isn't that what it means? ”

"Let's not talk about that, I think. It will be a day or two before the mutton arrives, and from tonight onwards, I will go from house to house, and you will go with me. ”

"Where are you going, what are you doing?"

Cao Xun glanced at Xu Yunjian and Zhang Qing, "Where do you have so many questions, isn't it over listening to him?" ”

A few people were talking and laughing, and they saw that the sky was getting dark. Luli stood up, "Let's go." First go to Cao Xun's house, then Liang Xin's house, then Xu Yunjian, and finally Zhang Qing, let's come one by one. "Everyone pushed their bicycles and walked out of the alley. But in a moment, he arrived at the door of Cao's house, "Dad, Mom, look at it, who's coming?" ”

The husband and wife of the Cao family looked at it. At the same time, he smiled at the same time, "Xiaoxiao, hey, it's rare for you brothers to get together so well?" Shall you eat here today? Second, don't you move the chair yet? ”

Lu Li said with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, don't eat, we just finished eating outside, I won't tell you, there are still several families to leave today, and I won't stay long, just say a few words." ”

"Come in, come in, how cold is it outside?"

Let a few young people into the house, the husband and wife have just had dinner, and the dishes on the table have not been cleaned up, "Xiaoxiao, it's not that my uncle said you, you are too outside, and I asked the second child to call you home to eat a few times, why don't you come when you get together?" ”

"Uncle Cao, I'm really busy, every day after I am busy, I have to be seven or eight o'clock, this ...... It's fine in the summer, but it's dark in the winter! It's really unbearable to let you wait for me so late, so I put it off again and again. But don't worry, when the Chinese New Year comes, I will definitely come and accompany you to have a good drink. ”

"Didn't say it, didn't say it. Second, don't you pour tea for others? ”

"No, no need, uncle, I came today just to say a few words to you." Lu Li stretched out his hand into his arms, took out a stack of envelopes, and took out two of them, one thick and one thin, "This thin, inside is one hundred yuan, which is 50% of the dividend we said last time, and the other thick one, inside is Wu Baiyuan, don't excuse me, you listen to me, what about this money, it is available to every family, not only your second elder, as my filial piety to my uncle and aunt near the New Year, you order a little and put it away." ”

"No, that's not going to work!" Father Cao shook his head vigorously, "Xiaoxiao, this...... Our brothers are brothers, and we will take the money from the dividends, and you can take the 500 quickly. We don't. ”

"Uncle, if you don't take it, I'll take it back, but there is one thing, from tomorrow, I won't want Cao Xun! Let him go back where he should go. ”

Cao Xun was stunned, "Hey, what does this have to do with me?" Did I provoke you? ”

The husband and wife of the Cao family were also a little dazed, "Uh, Xiaoxiao, uncle is not that hypocritical person, you said that in the past half a year, you will give the second child a salary of 100 yuan a month, really, he can't spend all the money he earns, how can you ...... Give it back? ”

"That's two different things, I give Cao Xun a salary, that's what should be shared, give you the second elder these money, it's to thank you for raising such a good boy, and give me a good buddy, good brother!"

Cao Xun's eyes were hot, and Huo Ran got up, "Dad, Mom, Xiaoxiao said so, you can accept it." We still have to ......."

"Do you still have to? You see that money is hot, don't you? Die with your father. ”

As soon as this sentence was said, the father and son of the Cao family looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "What are you talking about, there are guests here?" ”

Lu Li couldn't help but laugh, so he got up, "Uncle, aunt, there are still a few more families to go, so we won't stay longer - wait for the New Year, I will come to pay New Year's greetings to your second elder, and when the time comes, have a good drink with your uncle." ”

"Hey," the husband and wife of the Cao family discussed urgently and made a decision, "Xiaoxiao, what about this money, we will accept it for the time being, but let's do this, wait a few days, you can take the money back, and we will continue to ...... Well, how do you say that? Is it a shareholding? ”

"This matter, let's talk about it when I come back, uncle, aunt, this money was originally for your second elder, what do you want to do with it. I'm listening. As for whether you want to buy shares, when the Chinese New Year comes, let's talk about it in detail, okay? ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

Lu Li, Xu Yunjian, Zhang Qing, and Liang Xin walked out of the gate of Cao's house, and Cao Xun chased them out in one step. "Why did you come out with you, can you rest?"

"It's okay, I'll come with you. The main thing is that my parents always let me learn to talk to elementary school, you grandson! ”

Lu Li smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, go to Liang's house." ”

Several people went all the way to Liang's house, since the last time I talked to Liang's father about the private relationship between the two people. This relationship between the old and the young became awkward, Luli occasionally appeared at home, and Liang's father was still very enthusiastic, but when he talked about the old things again, his face changed, he neither spoke nor cared about it, in short, he was cold; The mother of the Liang family and her three daughters persuaded each other several times. He never let go.

"Dad, Mom. Little brother, they're coming. ”

Lu Li and the others then followed, "Uncle, aunt, good evening." ”

"Xiaoxiao, hurry up and come in and sit," Liang's mother smiled and let a group of young people into the house, "It's a cold day." Why are you still running? ”

"Auntie has been very tired of my affairs lately, and I will come to take a look, and it should be. Your body, okay? ”

"Good, good! I'm fine. It's just wearing some sticks, what is this work? But ah, it's just the smell of mutton! ”

Lu Li laughed, "Yes, when I am busy with this paragraph, I will compensate you well - uncle, aunt, I came this time for the dividend we talked about last time, here is 200 yuan, according to what we said at the beginning, 50%; You take it; There is also Wu Baiyuan here, which is to give your second elder's New Year's money, well, Liang Wei has been helping me for a while......"

Dad Liang was smoking a cigarette with his head down, and suddenly said, "Xiao Lu, you can take the money back." To tell you the truth, our family does not lack your money, and we don't need your filial piety. ”

"Dad, how did you ......"

"Shut up! I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to speak, bastard! ”

Liang Xin was startled by his father's anger, and sat on the side in a daze, not daring to squeak.

"Uncle, you misunderstood me......"

"I'm not mistaken, don't you just want to say that you agreed to us about the money at the beginning? Now I'm telling you, we don't want this money, you ...... In the future, don't come. You are not welcome in our house. ”

Luley's mouth immediately turned into an 'O' shape, "This...... Uncle? ”

Everyone was a little dumbfounded, "Dad, you...... Why do you talk like this, what's wrong with my little brother, how are you ...... Don't even let people open the door? ”

"That's it, I'm asleep." Dad Liang got up and wanted to leave, "Oh, and all this money, take it back, take it, take it!" ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Lu Li also stood up, "Xiaoxiao, don't be angry with him, I'll talk to him when I get back, this family, it's not his turn to be a dead old man!" Don't be afraid, huh? Liang's mother said.

"I'm fine, auntie. I'm really fine. That's it for the time being, let's go first, goodbye, auntie. ”

Walking out of Liang's house, Liang Wei's sister and brother hurriedly chased out, "Little brother, wait a minute!" Little brother, my dad is such a person, don't worry, come back and our family will persuade him well, it's okay. ”

Luli was speechless, "Let's go back, I'll go first." ”

Liang Wei shook her head suddenly, "Little Si'er, you go first, I'll have a few words with him." ”

Cao Xun immediately received the order and retreated to a dark corner, and after a while, the match was struck, and the fire of cigarettes began to be bright and dark, "Li, you say...... What are we going to do? ”

"Please, I'm not in a hurry at all, there are more than two years to go, so I don't believe I can't beg for it."

"So, what are you going to do if my dad doesn't agree?"

"I don't know, people's hearts are always fleshy, there are us outside, a few of you and your mother at home, I think it should be fine."

"I'm asking what if......"

Luli suddenly raised his voice, "Didn't you raise the bar?" ”

“…………”

"I'm sorry, I had no intention of throwing a tantrum with you." Lu Li said: "It's just that, Xiaowei, you don't have any other ideas, as long as you and I are on the same front, no matter how big the problem is, I am not afraid." ”

Liang Wei suddenly threw herself into her arms and hugged Ailang's waist tightly, "I know, Leigh, no matter how my father disagrees, I am also determined to be with you!" ”

*********************************************

Coming out of the Liang family, Lu Li was always silent, and it was not until Xu Yunjian's house that he returned to a little normalcy, and as usual, he responded and entertained; Then when he went to Zhang Qing's house, Lu Li seemed to be unaffected by Liang's father's words, talked and laughed as always, said a few warm words, handed over the money, and left with a few companions.

"Little ,......" Xu Yunjian and Zhang Qing did not follow, there was only Cao Xun by his side, "I don't think there will be too many problems with you and your sister-in-law, what kind of society is it now, can there be any parents who arrange marriages for their children?" I really can't do it, wait until my sister-in-law graduates,......"

Luli interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "I know what you mean, but...... It's absolutely not going to work. Maybe in the eyes of those of you, your parents don't agree, then go around it, anyway, it's not a big deal. But in me, not so. ”

"I understand, Xiaoxiao, we buddies have been doing so many years, I understand what you think, aren't you just reluctant to make the old man sad? But if you think about it, if it really doesn't make sense, what will you do in the future? It's really dragged on like this, even if you can afford it, what should your sister-in-law do, can she afford it? ”

"Let's talk about this later." Luli whispered in a somewhat pleading tone.

"Pull it down, you'll have to make up your mind about it anyway." Cao Xun silently walked a few steps with him, and suddenly said: "Hey, Xiaoxiao, there is something I shouldn't say, if it really doesn't work, forget it." ”

"Huh?"

"I mean, you and your sister-in-law's business, if it doesn't work, forget it."

"What's that called?" Lu Li suddenly changed color, stood still, and glared at Cao Xun fiercely.

"I ......" Cao Xun was really a little scared, tightened the military coat on his body, and said in a snort: "Xiaoxiao, I don't mean anything else, it's just that seeing your hot face and cold ass against others, our brothers are in a panic." ”

Lu Li's heart softened and sighed, "Cao Xun, you can just talk to me about these words, don't mention them to others, you know?" ”

"I understand what you mean, aren't you just worried about going back and letting your sister-in-law know?"

"No, you don't understand. What do you think I have for Xiaowei? I can tell you that I am very grateful to her in addition to my sincere affection. Do you remember? At the beginning, we had just set up a stall on Binjiang Road, and a college student came to help us. Seriously, even if I didn't have this level of relationship with her, I would definitely treat her like my best friend! I would never do anything to hurt her. ”

"I see." Cao Xun nodded crisply, "Come on, little brother, you just thought I was farting just now, let's talk about these things!" If you and your sister-in-law need anything in the future, as long as you say hello, I will be on call! ”

Luli bared his teeth, "How fucking do you dare to be on call!" In that case, I'll tell Xiaowei and let her tickle you to death!" ”

Cao Xun also smiled. (To be continued......)
