Chapter 82: Reunion
Li Youran's second uncle and cousin Li Fangcheng rushed home from the field when they heard the news, and their relatives sighed when they saw each other.
Maybe it's because of the perennial work, the second uncle looks a lot older, his back is a little hunched, and the wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes are like knives.
Li Fangcheng is a little taller than before, he is a black and thin boy, with two dark eyes, and he looks very smart. I just turned eighteen years old this year, and because I didn't get into high school, I have been farming with my second uncle at home.
The second uncle instructed Fang Cheng to go to the butcher shop to cut a few catties of pork, and then make a catty of burning knives. Have a good meal in the evening.
"Second uncle, I brought Tianhai Daqu in the car, don't buy burning knives." Li Youran hurriedly stopped.
"Ah, that car outside is yours? I came back just now and wondered, who drove such a beautiful Chapter 82 reunion car. The second uncle was very surprised, he had only seen such a high-end car on TV, and it was a radius of hundreds of miles, and even the township chief's car was just a Jetta.
Thanks to the development of television media, rural people are also aware of the four circles, if nothing else.
"Doing business in the city sometimes requires some façade. Hehe. Li Youran explained that he was worried that his second uncle would say that he was spending money indiscriminately.
"Of course I know this, but you still have to pay attention to doing business. Alas, it seems that you are really out of luck, and I thought you were fooling me. The second uncle said with emotion. Some time ago, Li Youran sent home a part of the money he sent home to pay off the debt, and he didn't dare to spend the rest, thinking that the child had saved it by saving money and keeping it for his future daughter-in-law.
Li Fangcheng heard that the car was bought by Brother Ran Zi, and his face turned red with excitement, he ran outside the courtyard gate, circled around the car, and reached out to touch the handlebar, reflector or something, muttering to himself, not knowing what he was talking about.
"Fang Cheng, hurry up and go to the butcher's shop. Don't wander around there. The second uncle scolded Li Fangcheng.
Li Fangcheng made a grimace at this side, and the happy eighty-second chapter reunion ran away.
"Yes, your body is much stronger than before, it seems that you exercise regularly?" The second uncle patted Li Youran on the shoulder, very satisfied with his physical condition.
"yes, I run a lot and play with dumbbells. Now that you are young, you have to exercise your body well, because your body is the capital of the revolution. Li said leisurely.
He asked about the health of his second uncle and aunt.
"Zhuanghu people, work every day, eat well and sleep well, and they are not so easy to get sick." The second uncle said lightly.
The family began to prepare dinner, and the second uncle went to the greenhouse to pick some vegetables. Li Youran was not idle, regardless of the second aunt's stop, rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen to help, the countryside here is still mainly based on burning wood and coal, of course, it is far less convenient than the automatic fire of the gas stove in the city.
Li Youran picked up the big pu fan and fanned the fire, maybe he hadn't done this job for a long time, and he was still a little rusty at hand, and he was splashed on his face by a few sparks that burst out of the stove one after another.
The second aunt pursed her lips and smiled, handing over a wet towel.
Li Youran took the towel and wiped his face, feeling that rural life is not easy. Cooking the same meal requires several times the workload of people in the city.
A small square table was set up in the center of the courtyard, and four people sat around. The dinner was very rich, and the pork bought by Li Fangcheng was raised by an authentic farmer, and the aroma of the braised pork was full of aroma, which made people appetizing.
There are also those vegetables, bacon and other things that are kept and eaten by the villagers, and the taste is not the same as the ordinary goods in the city market. Perhaps this is also one of the advantages of the few people in the countryside.
Although these meals are not as good as those produced by the space, they are better than the strong sense of intimacy.
Li Youran opened a bottle of Tianhai Daqu and poured a small glass for everyone present, the second aunt rarely drinks alcohol, but today she is happy and makes an exception.
The second uncle didn't pay so much attention to it, his neck was raised, a cup of wine was in his stomach, and his mouth was slurking.
"Tsk, good wine, much better than that burning knife."
Li Youran picked up the wine bottle again and filled it for him.
"Dad, I heard that there are more than 100 yuan of Tianhai Daqu this day, can it not taste good?" Li Fangcheng said as he raised his glass and drank it all.
"Well, then I'll have to pay a few dollars for this glass." The second uncle looked at the wine glass, and a distressed look appeared on his face.
"Boss, look at your little family, if you don't say how you can farm for the rest of your life. will calculate these few dollars, this is Ranzi's filial piety to you, you just drink it. The second aunt glared at the second uncle and said dissatisfiedly.
"Yes, the second aunt is right, the second uncle, you can drink it, I bought a box." Li Youran also hurriedly persuaded him.
"By the way, Ranzi, what kind of business are you doing in the city now?" The second uncle remembered something, put down the wine glass and asked.
"Second uncle, didn't I tell you last time, I sell steamed buns in the city." Li Youran responded.
"Is it so profitable to sell steamed buns? Last time, I heard that there was a couple of young couples in Rangezhuang Village next to me, and they also went to Tianhai City to sell breakfast earlier, saying that after deducting rent, water and electricity, the money they earned every month was enough to make ends meet. The second uncle was a little puzzled.
The second aunt and Li Fangcheng also looked at Li Youran, and they were also very curious about this matter.
"Second uncle, the buns I sell are different from others, they are high-end goods, and the price is high, so I naturally earn more. It was in November last year, I met a master, that is a master, there is a unique job of making steamed buns, he likes me very much, and taught me the skills of filling, so I have today. Li Youran made up a legendary story for himself.
"Brother Ranzi, is that old man a crane with a childish face, a fairy wind and bones, and a peerless martial arts?" Li Fangcheng's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.
"You bastard, you've read too many martial arts novels. Ranzi, you don't know, after you go to the city, I can't control this kid, he doesn't study well, he mixes with the guys in the village, he knows how to play all day long, and he goes to the township to rent martial arts novels to read. If you don't even get into high school, you'll really be home! ”
The second uncle glared at Fang Cheng and knocked on the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, and the latter hurriedly shrunk his neck to eat, not daring to speak.
Seeing this, the second aunt grabbed the second uncle.
"The child just came back today, and the family is eating happily, what are you doing with all this."
"Second uncle, Fang Cheng has grown up, and he will slowly become sensible. Don't worry, I'll talk to him. Li Youran hurriedly played the round.
"You should learn from your brother Ranzi," the second uncle glared at Li Fangcheng again, turned his head to Li Youran and said:
"Ranzi, there's another thing, I have to tell you. As the old saying goes, if you do well in the city and make a profit, the family should understand it, and don't spread it to the whole village. Save yourself the hassle. ”
The second aunt also nodded in agreement.
Li Youran thought about it and felt that it was the same thing.
"Second uncle, I know, when others asked, they said that I work in the city, and the car is borrowed from the company. I also bought a lot of gifts, and everyone in the village was old and young. ”
"Well, that's enough." After the second uncle finished speaking, he drank another glass of wine!!
