CHAPTER XVII
As soon as the sky was bright, Li Li got up to clean up, and after cleaning up, he went into the house and patted Li Xiao in his sleep.
Originally, I was going to take him out directly, but it was too cold outside in the morning, and I sweated in my sleep, and it was easy to catch a cold after inhaling the cold, so it was better to wake him up and let him pack up and dress thicker before carrying him out.
Li Xiao opened his eyes in a daze and looked at Li Li, "Li Li, why did you wake me up so early." ”
"You little lazy pig, yesterday I told you that you were going to the black market to sell tickets today, you told you to go to bed early, you have to listen, you can't get up in the middle of the night when you watch cartoons."
"Hmm~" Li Xiao turned over, stuffed her head under the pillow, and continued to sleep.
"Get up quickly, I'll clean up for you, and you can sleep on the way." Li Xiao ignored her and continued to crawl and sleep.
Li Li saw that he was strong and thought about it, it was cold outside, and he really couldn't get up, so it was better to let him sleep at home, "If you are really sleepy, you can't get up, then you sleep at home Wow, anyway, I'm just going to sell a ticket, and I'll be back in a while." ”
As soon as Li Xiao heard this, he got up in a puff of smoke, "I want to go with Li Li." ”
Li Li saw that he was still sleepy just now, and his eyes were still foggy but still holding on at this time, and his heart was sour, it must have scared him last time......
"My God, so early, there are so many people in the black market, these people are really dedicated." That's a lot more people than the first time I came to the black market.
When Li Xiao heard this, he looked around in a daze, there were quite a lot of people, it was almost the New Year, and they all wanted to change something to have a good New Year......
Li Li found a small corner, squatted down, and then took the ticket in his hand.
The main initiative to go up and pull people, there are too many people, don't dare.
After a while, a middle-aged uncle walked up to Li Li and stopped, "Selling tickets?" ”
Li Li was stunned and didn't react, Li Xiao dragged her, and then came back to her senses, "Ang, yes." ”
"Do you have a meat ticket?"
"Yes, yes."
"How much?"
This...... I've only sold meat to restaurants, I haven't bought it, I read the book and said that the meat in the sixties and seventies was five or six cents a catty, so the money and the ticket were worth the same, so it should be five or six cents.
"One pound and five cents."
The middle-aged uncle was stunned for a moment, Li Li looked at him stunned, and hesitated, did I set the price high? It shouldn't be......
"Take two pounds of meat tickets." The uncle handed her a dollar.
Li Li drew two meat tickets worth one pound and handed them to him, "Your tickets, take them." ”
As soon as the uncle left, a woman came up and asked in a low voice, "Girl, do you have a bicycle ticket here?" ”
"Yes."
"How much?"
"Two Hundred ......"
The woman frowned, her son was going to marry a daughter-in-law during the New Year, but the woman had to ask for a bicycle, but two hundred, which was a bit too expensive, "Girl, I sincerely want it, do you think it can be cheaper?" ”
"The one hundred and fifteen."
The woman was stunned, eh, is it too little?
Li Xiao knew what she was thinking as soon as she saw Li Li's expression, are you stupid, how can you drop to fifty.
"Auntie? Still buy? ”
"Oh, buy, buy, buy." Hurriedly handed the money to Li Xiao.
When she got the ticket, she still felt dizzy, and she actually bought a bicycle ticket at one hundred and fifteen.
"How many votes do you have here?" Li Li looked up, it was the aunt who came to the black market to buy rice before.
Li Li stretched out his hand, put it on a thick one, and handed it to her, "That's all." ”
"Then you order, I want it." Their family is not short of money, but they are short of tickets, and every time they run out of tickets in the middle of the month, they can only go to the black market to buy them.
Li Li nodded, and according to the current ticket price, he settled them one by one, "Auntie, a total of five hundred and four, wipe it for you, and charge you five hundred." ”
Li Xiao heard this, hey, Li Li, will you settle accounts? Wipe zero and wipe forty, and the workers are only twenty yuan a month in these years.
The woman suddenly felt that the voice was a little familiar, looked at it carefully, and handed the money over, "It's you!" Ouch, last time I bought rice from you, I cooked it and ate it, your rice was really fragrant, why didn't I meet you again? ”
Li Li took the money and handed the ticket to the woman, "My family won't let me come, and I will never come here again." ”
The woman took the ticket and looked at Li Li, she was wearing good fabrics, and even the quilt wrapped in the child was made of high-grade materials.
Li Li hugged Li Xiao and was about to go home, when he turned around, how did he feel that someone was looking at him?
Forget it, let's go home first.
Along the way, Li Li felt as if someone was following him, and Li Xiao also frowned, how do you always feel that there is someone behind?
"Whew, I'm finally home." As soon as Li Li arrived home, he hurriedly locked the door.
"I'm scared to death, I always feel like someone is following us, Yangyang, do you feel it?" Li Li patted his chest.
"No, Li Li, you may have a huge amount of money, so excited." didn't want Li Li to worry, so Li Xiao panicked.
"Yes, more than 600 yuan, you play in the yard for a while, and Ma Ma will cook."
As soon as the rice was brought out of the pot, before it was served, I heard a knock at the door.
"Who's it, it's cold." Usually on such a cold day, others rarely go to the door, not to mention the snow today......
Li Li opened the door and found that it was a young man he didn't know, "Are you?" ”
When Li Xiao heard the voice, he hurriedly ran to Li Li's side and looked at the young man vigilantly.
The young man scratched his head embarrassedly and pulled out a small radish head from behind his back.
Li Li saw him, it was him.
"That's right, my brother said, you borrowed him a piece of eight cents, and rice, I was doing odd jobs outside at that time, the child didn't know anything, and I didn't ask your address and name, and when I came back, I told me that I didn't find you after looking for a long time, no, my brother saw you in the black market at that time, and followed you all the way, so he ran home and told me. Oh, that's a piece of eight cents owed to you. You dot. ”
Li Li glanced at the young man, his clothes were patched, and then he looked away, just casually skimming it, and then took the money.
"Is there anything else?" It's just a stranger, so Li Li's tone is very cold.
The young man seemed a little embarrassed, and his face was a little red, "That's it, that, can you wait for the rice to be returned to you after the year, I have weighed it, it is five catties, and I will definitely return it to you after the year." ”
Li Li didn't speak, stared at the little radish head for a while, and asked, "How is your grandfather's health?" ”
The two of them looked a little gloomy, "I didn't get through it......"
Li Li was silent, no, get through it...... If you took him to the hospital at that time, would you, Li Li, what are you thinking, take him to the hospital, you will be criticized, what about keeping money, why should you give your money to others, too, your own money, you can give it if you want to, and if you don't want to give it, you won't give it, but, after all, it's a human life.
"I'm sorry."
The young man raised his head violently, "No, no, it has nothing to do with you, grandpa already has an old disease, plus later...... The body is even more collapsed, and in that case, even if you go to the hospital, it will only drag on for a day. ”
When Li Li heard this, his heart suddenly felt a little better, "Oh, then you go back, also, I don't like others to disturb me, I have a lot of rice in my house, and I don't eat rice sold outside, so I don't need you to return it, go back." With that, he prepared to close the door.
The young man grabbed the door with one hand, "This, how can this work?" ”
Li Li glanced at the young man, "Do you want to repay the favor?" ”
"Hmm!"
"Then don't appear in front of me again, it's the best thing for me, I don't like strangers in my world."
When the young man heard this, he led the little radish head and turned to leave......
"Wait."
The young man hurriedly turned around, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Li walked over with a small bag of rice.
"We can't ask for this, we really can't ask for it." I already owed five catties of rice, although the other party didn't let me pay it back, what can I say, this bag of rice can't be collected.
Li Li glanced at the young man, "I didn't say it was for you." ”
The young man was stunned.
"It's for your brother, this little radish head, it's weird to fit the eyes, it's just too thin, take it back to make up for your body." After saying that, he stuffed the rice bag into the carrot head's arms, and then turned to leave.
The young man looked at her back as she left, "My name is Xiao Yuanhang, one day, I will definitely repay you, repay your love that day, and the grace of today's rice!" ”
Li Li heard this, smiled, walked into the house, and closed the door.
Li Xiao looked at her puzzled, "Li Li, he said his name, why didn't you say it." Didn't you teach me that when someone tells you a name, you must also tell someone their name, is that polite? "It's really strange, he said that he would repay him, maybe he will be developed in the future, if he doesn't tell his name, what if he can't find Li Li when he is developed in the future.
Li Li didn't speak, took him to the pool to wash his hands, and then sat down at the dining table before he spoke, "I didn't send rice that day to help him, to help him as a person, I don't know them at all, I just follow my heart." I thought so, and I did. ”
"Then today, you still gave that brother rice."
"Today, it's really because of fate, so many strangers, but I met that little radish head twice, it's not fate, so that rice is a gift again, as for why I don't tell them my name, I do these things, I don't want them to repay them at all, I just want to do it, in the final analysis, it's for myself."
"For yourself?"
"Yes, for the sake of my own heart, that's why I will do these things, it's not a big deal, we have a lot of rice, I just gave them a little, and my heart will feel a lot better, that's enough."
"Li Xiaowa, you have to remember that when we help someone, it shouldn't be for the other party's reward, if it's for repayment, then it's not helping, but an exchange linked to interests, not to mention that you didn't give your best to help him, where is it worth asking for people's returns."
"Then if you give your best to help, you can ask for something in return."
"You can say that, but if one day you meet someone who you are willing to give everything to help him, I don't think you want anything in return."
"Why?"
"Well, I don't know, oh, you have a lot of problems, I'm serving you now, don't I ask for anything in return." Li Li nodded his head.
"Na Li Li, you are super confused, and I don't dislike you." Li Xiao rubbed her head and looked at her.
"You! Eat, if you don't eat again, it's cold. "This stinky boy, how old he is, he knows how to scare his mother, hum.
