vs 77 Parting is imminent
The total cost of this wedding banquet exceeded 1,400 yuan, which was definitely an astronomical amount in the 1980s! Lu Li was also shocked when he checked out, but fortunately Cao Xun also brought money, otherwise it would be really ugly!
What was even more scared was Cao Yezhi, who almost had a heart attack after listening to his son, "Second child, how much do you say?" β
"That's 1,400.69 in total."
Cao Yezhi only felt that the blue tendons on his forehead were jumping suddenly, and he raised his hand to give his son a mouthful, "You bastard!" β
"Dad, why are you beating me? Did I provoke you? β
"Spending so much money on other people's families, how can you pay it back in the future? More than 1,000 yuan, can you afford it? Cao Yezhi was very annoyed, if he knew that he would spend so much money, even if his husband and wife were tired, they couldn't leave this matter to Lu Li to do? How did you spend so much money? How can you pay back this kind of money? "Second child, you go, call Xiaoxiao!"
"Dad, what time is it? Everyone is asleep. β
"Are you going or not? If you don't go, I'll go! β
"Don't, don't," Cao Xun was so helpless that he had to open the door, "Don't worry, I can't go?" Isn't this a shadowless thing, in the big night, are you tossing? β
Pushing open the courtyard door, walking into a black alley, it was pitch black under his feet, Cao Xun carefully moved his steps, and when he walked to the junction of the two T-shaped alleys, he suddenly felt that there was someone in front of him, he was a little nervous for no reason, and asked in a trembling voice: "I said, is there anyone there?" β
"Cao Xun, is that you?"
Cao Xun immediately calmed his heart and took a long breath, "Damn, Xiaoxiao, what are you doing here?" Blind fire in the dark...... Oops, hehe! He walked closer, saw the person in front of him clearly, and couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm sorry, I didn't know my sister-in-law was there." β
"Don't mess around, let's talk. What do you want? β
Cao Xun laughed, took out the cigarette and fire from his pocket, and a bright cloud lit up in the darkness, and bursts of green smoke rose, "Xiaoxiao, my father asked me to find you, say a few words to my sister-in-law and go with me." β
"Something?"
"It's not just about the banquet money! My dad meant that he was spending too much, and he was a little scared and couldn't bear it,......"
"Cao Xun, you lack heart, who told you to tell the truth to the old man? You ......" Lu Li shook his head and sighed, and said: "I'm afraid to come here, and I will let Zhang Qing go back after I finish the matter, I'm afraid that the old man will ask." Who knows......"
Cao Xun was also a little stupid, "Then, why don't you tell me?" β
"Do you need to talk to you? Can you use your brain? β
Liang Wei held her lover's hand in the dark and whispered: "Li, forget it, don't worry, he didn't mean it." β
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law is right, I didn't mean to do it - sister-in-law, thank you for interceding for me?"
Lu Li gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "Let's go." β
"Why are you going?"
"What do you say? Persuade uncles and aunts! Otherwise, the old couple would have been able to sleep all night. If you don't have any fun, you'll get me sick! β
Cao Xun smiled, scratched his head, and followed him and Liang Wei.
After countless good words and countless lips, I finally suppressed the apologetic gratitude of the Cao family and his wife, and when I walked out of the small courtyard, it was already past zero o'clock! Lu Li bowed vigorously and closed the door, "Xiaowei, tell me what this is called?" It's like I've done something wrong. β
"Don't talk like that, Uncle Cao is also grateful to you, besides, I'm afraid that this favor is too great, and I will be in trouble in the future! Actually, if you want me to say, the banquet is just the banquet, and one person makes a roast duck, isn't it a bit too much? β
"I see what you mean, but actually, it's nothing. The only miscalculation I made was that I didn't expect Uncle Cao to react so much to this incident - in fact, this is all a bad habit of our people. Why is it so clearly divided? For example, if I have the ability to help others, I will do more, and if you have less ability, I will do less. The main thing is a mind, don't you say? It's good now, this thing has become their heart disease! β
"Forget it, little ,......" Liang Wei suddenly felt her hand tight, and she held it for her lover, "Why are you okay with so many people calling you by your nickname, but not me?" β
"It's not that I won't let you call you, the key is that I can't get used to your way of calling you. It seems that neither of us has this kind of ...... It's like you've become a member of my family, or a friend or buddy. If you think that's okay, then I'll let you call me by my nickname, okay? β
Liang Wei turned her mind and shook her head in the dark, "Don't, I still call you famous." Hey, it's getting late, my parents are asleep, what should I do? β
"You, come home with meβdon't get me wrong, I didn't mean that. Just find you a place to sleep, hurry up, delay a little longer, it's dawn. β
Liang Wei only felt dizzy, and after coaxing him with a child, he didn't know the southeast and northwest with him back to the second courtyard, the east wing and the hall were already dark, but fortunately, the area of the second courtyard was large, and a cold moonlight projected down, and the courtyard seemed to be sprinkled with silver powder, so he would not be able to see the road clearly because it was dark.
Liang Wei was very nervous! She didn't know what it was like to feel in her heart, this was the first time she had spent the night at their house, although she knew that Luli was famous among friends for keeping his promises, but ...... I'm a big girl, I don't go home at night, I sleep at my boyfriend's house - the so-called can talk is not as good as listening, and then there are rumors coming out, how do you behave? "Leigh, I'm ...... Why don't you go home? I'm afraid ......"
Luli turned his mind and understood, "It's too late, okay?" I'm not afraid of the side, but I'm worried about arguing with Uncle Liang and them. β
"It's okay, I'll be fine when I come into the house with a little quiet. Sleep here ......."
"I understand, I understand." Lu Li nodded frequently, "It's okay, I'll send you back." β
*************************************
Lu Li originally planned to take Yu Fang to travel to Beijing (Beijing) after the Cao family's happy event, but he didn't want to have a sudden food poisoning incident, the family was shocked and scared, and his plan was immediately stifled by his two sisters, "I'll tell you, Xiaoxiao, you can't go to Beijing (Beijing)." Damn's body is just a little better, is it okay to toss around? Come back over there and get sick again? No, you can't go. β
"I know, I want to forget it too." Lu Li said in a low voice: "That, aunt, eldest sister, second sister, the matter here in the city is over, I think, I may have to leave in a few days." β
"Huh? Leaving so soon? It's only been a few days since you've been at home, huh? Yu Fang's eyes immediately turned red, "Xiaoxiao, how good is it to stay for a few more days?" Now that the weather is starting to get colder, I want to make you something delicious and grab some 'autumn fat' to make you fat! Look at how thin you are now......"
Listening to Yu Fang's babbling words, Lu Li lowered his head, "Auntie, I know, but it's okay!" He forced himself to laugh and said, "I'm only 23 now, and I'll be growing up in the future." Are you still afraid that you won't be able to grow meat? Still catch autumn fat and feed me as a pig? β
The family chuckled. Yu Fang didn't laugh, turned his back, and wiped his eyes, "Mom, don't worry about this unlucky thing, he can do kung fu, and others can't bully him." And it's not the first time I've been to Hong Kong, so there aren't too many problems. Besides, Xiaoxiao knows the severity, in case he can't stay over there, doesn't he know how to come back? Tiny, isn't it? β
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" Lu Li nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Auntie, don't be sad, just like the second sister said, if I can't stay over there, I'll turn around and come backβyou will let me go to the countryside for the second time, won't you?" β
"Can that be the same?" The child's explanation and performance could not make Yu Fang's mood mood, but only increased the sorrow, "Xiaoxiao, I know you can fight, but over there, you have to endure everything, you know?" Hey, Hong Kong is so far away from us, my aunt can't go and see you if she wants to. I went to the countryside for the second time, I think, it's not as good as going to the countryside! β
"It's different, aunt, when I went to the countryside, I had to ask for leave if I wanted to come back, but now I don't need to, I miss you, I can come back at any time!"
"What, what if I miss you? Xiaoxiao, my aunt is old, and I always think that the children can be around, hey, I am talking to you now, you don't understand. β
"Aunt......"
"Aunt is fine, but I don't want you to go, it's so far away from our house, what if something happens to you? Little ,......"
Lu Li really didn't know how to answer, his eyes were red, he lowered his head, and Ren Yinfang's hand stroked his head, "It's okay, Xiaoxiao, my aunt is fine." Do whatever you have to do. Aunt knows that you have brains, and in this regard, you are better than your two brothers-in-law plus one! β
Out of understanding, the younger brother deliberately joked and said: "That's it, Mom, you don't know that our family founded the country, and you lack the heart and eyes, the child had a little cough that day, I asked him to go out to buy some medicine, and he went for several hours, and we were in a hurry!" He didn't come back until midnight, and the face, you didn't see it, it was all a sticky, and then I asked to find out that I went to play cards with others, and when I lost, I got a note on my face, and my face was full of glutinous! Tell me, isn't this a lack of heart? β
Lu Li and Yu Fang laughed at the same time! "Really? The result? β
"As a result, I didn't give him a good face for a week, a shameless thing!"
The crowd was laughing again!
After this moment of twisting and turning, Yu Fang's mood calmed down a little, and she no longer shed tears, "Xiaoxiao, you go this time, how many times will we come back?" β
"At the end of the year, I'll try to rush back for the New Year." Lu Li didn't dare to say it very deadly, doing business is such a thing, a few days of the New Year is theoretically the best time to make money, if it really opens to attract customers, can you still put the money and not make money? "But, aunt, it may be a few days late."
"What...... How late are the days? β
"That is to say, thirty children may not come back."
Yu Fang gave him a fierce look, took out a cigarette and lit it, and muttered bitterly in his mouth: "What is this thing called?" I went to the countryside for the second time, and I don't think it's time to go to the countryside! Back then, you could go home for the New Year, but now you can't even do this? So what the hell are you doing here? β
"Auntie, I'm sorry, don't I also want to make more money while I'm young, and then our mother will have a comfortable time?"
Yu Fang ignored him and smoked a cigarette by himself, "............"
"Oh, aunt, I remember, what about you, don't be sad, because I already had a plan when I went to Hong Kong, like this, about three or two years to live, as long as I get an official ID card and accumulate some funds, I will be killed. At that point, I might still be running around, but you'll be able to see me every day. What do you think? β
"It's going to take three or two years?"
"Don't worry, aunt, three or two years will pass soon. Right? β
Yu Fang thought for a while, threw away the cigarette butt, and asked, "What you said, two or three years?" Is it two or three years? β
"Up to three years."
"This year is 1980, 81, 82, 83, that is, October of 83, you can't go back after you come back?"
"Yes, don't worry, my biggest feature is that I am good at what I say, and I promise not to break my word." Lu Li stood up with a smile and looked at Liang Wei, who had been silent, "Liang Wei, what's wrong with you today, why didn't you say a word?" β
"What else can I say? You've already decided. Besides, you don't listen to what my aunt says, does it still work? β
As soon as these words entered the ear, the taste was a little wrong, and Zhao gave his younger brother a look, and Lu Li took the girl's hand clearly, "Xiaowei, let's go out to talk." (To be continued.) )
