Chapter 422: Goodbye Zhao Qing (2)
Su Nian, no, Li Nian, because the women's manual work is fast and good, once discussed with the eldest sister Ouyang Luo to process money for the guys in the shop. Compared with the handiwork money earned by the women in the village, their wages were lower. The reason why the little flowers in the shop are still working at home is because they are greedy for the women in the village to earn more.
However, Xiaoyu was not at home, although Xiaoyu handed over the shop to her before leaving, Li Nian was embarrassed to skip her and raise her salary directly. Although the salary of 500 wen is already a lot, but the women who do not do handicrafts earn more, and after a long time, Li Nian is afraid that they will not feel at ease in the shop.
Later, it was Ouyang Luo who made up his mind about this matter, starting next month, the men and women in the shop, of course, including Xue Jiacai, who was in charge of contact, would have their wages doubled, that is, one tael of silver per month. In this way, the income of the women in the village is about the same, and it also saves them from returning home and doing needlework at night.
This matter, of course, was discussed with Xiaoshan and Xiaowen. Xiaoshan and Xiaowen also agreed with the two aunts' approach and agreed to give the guy a raise. It's the big girl in the house who is still one or two moons, and the previous five hundred wen is indeed less.
However, Xiaohua and they don't know yet, and they don't know how happy they will be when they know.
At this time, Grandma Zhao said to Xiaohua in surprise: "Come and see your Uncle Li, this is Yu'er's father." ”
Xiaohua looked at Li Xiguang carefully in surprise, called Uncle Li in her mouth, and muttered suspiciously: "Is it true?" I remember that Uncle Li had a full beard, why is it gone? I really can't admit it. But. If Yu'er knew that Uncle Li was back, she wouldn't know how to be happy. ”
Grandma Zhao didn't care what she said, and directly ordered: "Quick." Hurry up, go and get your grandfather, your father, and your second uncle back, and say that there is a great event. ”
"Hey!" Xiaohua promised to run towards the entrance of the village with a smoke. She is also happy for Yu'er and Xiaoshan in her heart, with her father, Yu'er won't be so happy, right?
Li Xiguang thought to himself, and he didn't know if he was really happy or troubled to bring them back, in short. He really wanted to meet Zhao Qing and ask for clarity.
Grandma Zhao affectionately let Li Xiguang and Xiaoshan into the yard, and Li Xiguang and Xiaoshan also walked in.
The Zhao family has been moving out of the Li family's yard here. So he and his three sons settled down separately. Zhao Qing and his wife still live in the east house in the main house, and Xiaohua in the west house lives alone. Zhao Zhenyou, the eldest son of the east wing and the north house, lived in the house, and the south house was given to the eldest grandson Zhao Zhongrui. The second son of Zhao Zhenmin in the west wing lives with his family, and the couple lives in the north house. The second grandson, Zhao Zhongkai, and the third grandson, Zhao Zhongwei, live in the South House. The kitchen is still in the main hall. When eating, eat in the east room of the main house, and put two kang tables side by side on the kang, and the whole family gathers together to have a lively scene.
Near the gate are firewood houses and thatched houses, and the Zhao family themselves also specially built a livestock shed and a cart shed to place their own vehicles and cattle. Because there are few people with cars in the village, Li Ziyu did not build livestock sheds and carports at the beginning.
Under the control of Zhao Qing, Wagyu Datou, and Jing Songbai, the village drilled two reels at the entrance of their respective villages. A wide platform was made. A sturdy, durable, and open shed was also built out of wood, so that it was impossible to fetch water on cloudy and rainy days.
The people of Lijiazhuang used to drink the water from the small river. Li Ziyu and Niu Datou and Jing Songbai pointed out that the river water was not clean, and asked them not to eat the water in the river after they finished fighting.
In addition to the two villages that drilled two wells each, Li Ziyu also planned to drill five deep wells in the field after the autumn harvest of corn. Although the rain this year is quite frequent and the corn fields are not affected by moisture, it is still good to be prepared. Who knows what the future holds?
Li Xiguang and Xiaoshan followed Grandma Zhao into the main landlord's house, and Li Xiguang let the extremely enthusiastic Grandma Zhao sit on the chair against the east wall. Xiaoshan was not good to stand, so he sat on the edge of the kang.
Grandma Zhao was very smart, and she didn't ask Li Xiguang where he had been in the past few years and why he had only come back now, but kept saying: "It's good to come back, and the children will have something to rely on when they come back." ”
Li Xiguang didn't mention himself, but he led the topic to his own children, and Grandma Zhao was touched by the heart, and kept talking about the difficulties and difficulties of several children in recent years. Speaking of emotion, I almost burst into tears several times.
Li Xiguang and Xiaoshan listened silently, and Xiaoshan couldn't help but recall the several difficult times when he almost couldn't survive, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. Li Xiguang heard the difficult situation of his children from other people's mouths, and his heart became more and more angry and resentful of Zhao Qing.
At this moment, Xiaohua, who came back, had not yet entered the house, and shouted in the yard: "Grandma, grandpa, daddy, and second uncle are all back!" So saying, he ran into the house first.
Hearing this, Li Xiguang got up from the chair and walked to the door of the main room, with a polite smile on his face, looking at the three father and son of the Zhao family who walked into the courtyard. Xiaoshan also followed his father out, and looked at Zhao Zhongrui, Zhao Zhongkai and Zhao Zhongwei who entered the courtyard with a happy smile.
"Uncle Zhao! Brother Zhenyou! Brother Zhenmin! Are you back? Li Xiguang walked into the courtyard with a smile and greeted him as he did before he died.
Zhao Zhenmin stepped forward in shock, grabbed Li Xiguang's arm tightly, and couldn't help but moisten his eyes: "It's really you!" Great! Heaven bless you to be alive! ”
Li Xiguang also said with emotion: "Yes, it's good to be alive." ”
Zhao Zhenyou also stepped forward and patted Li Xiguang's shoulder vigorously and said, "You kid, yes, if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future!" ”
At this time, Zhao Zhongrui's little brother three stepped forward to greet Li Xiguang: "My nephew has seen Uncle Xiguang!" ”
Li Xiguang happily looked at the three boys who were still little children in his memory, and couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect that I have only been gone for three years, and I have grown so big, the time has passed so fast, isn't it Uncle Zhao?" ”
Zhao Qing felt that Li Xiguang's sharp eyes fell on him like a sharp sword piercing the depths of his soul, nakedly exposing his inner unbearability and selfishness to the sun. He felt that he really had no face to see him, and he didn't have the face to face Li Xiguang, who once trusted him so much and entrusted his children to him. However, he couldn't help it back then! If his nephew Zhao Zhongli owes 200 taels of gambling debts if he doesn't pay it back, the casino will kill him immediately. No one in the family knew about the two hundred taels of silver. I only knew that I redeemed Zhongli at that time, and I didn't ask how much it spent.
He also thought about saving this money, but the family's situation became increasingly embarrassed because of the constraints of the three grandsons in the town school, where could he save so much silver? I can only be sorry for the entrustment of Xiguang's nephew. Fortunately, the children of the Li family are very capable, and they have lived their lives, and the guilt in his heart has become better.
He also thought about how to explain himself if Li Xiguang came back one day, and even hoped in his heart that he would never come back, so he didn't have to face him. Unexpectedly, he really came back, no matter what hardships he had at the beginning, he was treacherous, and it was better to tell the truth and let him understand that he was really a last resort.
So, he looked at Li Xiguang and said with a wry smile: "Let's go, we haven't been drinking together for a long time, let your aunt and sister-in-law get a table of food today, and you won't get drunk or return." ”
The little flower girl who walked into the courtyard at the end said with a smile: "Big brother, it's great that you're back!" Yu'er girl doesn't have to work so hard anymore. Let you taste your sister-in-law's craft today, is it better than before? ”
Zhong Kainiang also said: "What my sister-in-law said is that it's good for the eldest brother to come back." Today, my sister-in-law and I will make you a table of home-cooked food, so let's get together. (To be continued.) )
