Li Yi knew that his father's thinking was a little old-fashioned, and it was understandable that it would be difficult to accept his seemingly risky behavior for a while, so Li Yi didn't say anything.

He believes that his thoughts and attitudes will change over time.

Subsequently, after Li Yi said something to his father, he went straight to the back mountain!

By the time Li Yi came over, more than a dozen baskets had been placed on the dam of the reservoir, and many children were doing preliminary processing of the mountain goods they had picked back.

Seeing Li Yi coming, the children all gathered around.

Li Yi took a cursory look and found that there were more and more children picking mountain goods in the past few days, and there were as many as thirty people.

"Dongzi, what's going on with them?" Li Yi pointed to a few seven or eight-year-old children and asked.

Dongzi immediately said: "Brother Yi, isn't it true that everyone in the village knows that we have made money by picking mushrooms with you, so their father and mother found me and wanted them to pick mushrooms together!" ”

"They're too small!" Li Yi said with a frown.

At this time, a dirty little boy said loudly: "We are not small, and we can also pick mushrooms!" ”

Li Yi recognized this little guy, he was the third child of Dong's lame family in the west of the village.

His father is polio, he has difficulty moving, his mother is mute, and there are 5 children in the family, and life is very hard.

Dongzi also echoed and said: "Brother Yi, they are all mountain babies, it's no problem to pick mushrooms!" ”

Li Yi sighed and said: "After all, the mountains are not safe, not to mention jackals, tigers, leopards, wild boars and other wild beasts, it is not easy to pick mountain goods alone, climb high and low, I am worried that something will happen to them!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the children say, "We are not afraid!" ”

"Yes, we're not afraid!"

"We run in the mountains every day, and we are really not afraid..."

Li Yi motioned for them to be quiet first, and then said: "If you want to follow me to make money, it's okay, go back and let your father and mother come to my house to find me, let's make it clear before I dare to take you, otherwise it won't work!" ”

It's not that Li Yi is too careful, but there are some things that he must think of in front.

Although in recent years, the government has organized militias to defeat large beasts such as wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the mountains, and even if there are, they have run to the depths of the mountains, but there are still wild boars, yellow sheep, roe de roe and the like.

Especially the wild boar, there are a lot of them in the mountains, and once the children encounter them, it is really dangerous.

If that kid is injured or lost because he picks mountain goods for himself, then his family doesn't give Li Yi's house to order, he can't take this risk!

Hearing that Li Yi didn't really want them, but asked the adults of their family to say it, the children didn't say anything more.

Subsequently, under the command of Li Yi, a large group of children carried more than a dozen baskets of cleaned mushrooms and fungus back to the village!

And after returning home, Li Yi also sent them yesterday's salary.

After the production team got off work in the evening, people from the village came to Li Yi's house one after another.

The purpose of the big guys is the same, that is, they want their children to follow Li Yi, and by the way, earn some pocket money to subsidize the family.

Li Yi's attitude is very clear, if you want to do it, you can do it, but you have to sign an agreement.

The content of the agreement is also very simple, that is, the children use their spare time to work and study, and he does not belong to child labor.

The second is that the children must obey the instructions of the older children when they go up the mountain, and they cannot act without authorization, and the second is that he is not responsible for safety problems.

Everyone also understood Li Yi's difficulties, so they signed this agreement one after another.

Some people even asked Li Yi if he wanted the mountain goods picked by the adults, but Li Yi refused.

It's not that Li Yi has no market, but now that the agricultural society has not disintegrated, if he encourages these adults to go up the mountain to pick mountain goods, it is necessary to affect the production progress of the production team, which is absolutely impossible.

In addition, the reason why he wants to take Dongzi and them to do mountain goods trading is that on the one hand, he needs money, and on the other hand, he wants these little brothers to make money with him.

But if the adults in the village go into the mountains to pick mushrooms and fungus, how can there be anything to do with the children!

So although Li Yi was very moved by the adults' proposals, he finally endured it!

........

When everyone left Li Yi's house, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening!

The family cleaned up and got ready to rest!

At this time, Li Yi suddenly said to his parents: "Father, mother, I have something I want to discuss with you!" ”

Li Shankui knocked the dry tobacco pot in his hand on the edge of the kang, and then said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Dad, I want to build a house!" Li Yi said seriously.

Li Yi had been thinking about building a house for several days, and he knew that his father's idea was that when he and Tang Xue got married, they would sort out the house he was living in now and use it as their wedding room.

But Li Yi felt that it was still too shabby, firstly, that the room was originally used to put sundries in the house, not to mention the small area, and it was not warm.

It's okay to say in summer, but in winter, it's really not suitable for a wedding room.

What's more, if nothing else, Tang Xue already has their child in his belly, even if it is for the sake of the child, he has to think about the house.

Li Shankui was silent for a while, and then said, "Why did you think of building a house?" ”

Mother Zhang Yuehong also asked: "Although Westinghouse is a little small, it can also live!" If it really doesn't work, after Xiaoxue passes the door, your father and I will live in the West House, and you two will live in the East House! ”

Li Yi then said: "I actually had the idea of building a house for a long time, on the one hand, I want to have a small family of my own after I get married to Xiaoxue, and on the other hand, our family is too small. ”

"Because there are not too many people living in the small family, the eldest sister and the second sister have not returned to their parents' house much over the years, and even if they come back, they will not spend the night at home."

Hearing Li Yi's words, Li Shankui and Zhang Yuehong were silent.

They all know that what their son said is the truth, but how can it be so simple to build a house, it is labor and materials, and it is not cheap!

After a long time, Li Shankui finally said: "You need money to build a house, and you are about to get married, and you also need money, why don't you build it slowly?" ”

"I have almost 500 yuan in my hand now, I don't know if it's enough!" Li Yi replied.

Li Shankui and Zhang Yuehong glanced at each other, they really didn't expect that their son still had 500 yuan in his hand after taking out the bride price money and buying a bicycle, they were all surprised.

"It's not enough if it's a brick house, but it's enough for an adobe house!"

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "Dad, I want to build a brick house, build three this year, and then rebuild the old house next year, and build it into a brick house!" ”

Li Shankui took a puff of cigarette and said, "Let's talk about the old house later, take care of yourself first!" ”

"If you agree, then I will go to Uncle Feng tomorrow and ask him to approve the homestead for me!" Li Yi said.

"Well, remember to bring two bottles of wine to Lao Feng when you go!" Li Shankui admonished.

Since his son has money in his hands, he naturally won't stop him.

And he is also worried that the previous unreliable mistake will be repeated, and it is better to use it to build a house now.

"Okay!"
