Chapter 10: Fat Balls
Back Mountain. Reservoir!
When Li Yi came over, he saw five or six half-sized children tinkering with something on the edge of the reservoir from a distance!
After seeing Li Yi, two boys wearing only shorts immediately ran over!
"Brother Yi, why are you here?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "Call everyone over, I'm looking for you if I have something!" ”
"Gotcha!"
Soon, everyone in the water on the shore was called in front of Li Yi!
Looking at these friends who grew up together in front of him, Li Yi's heart was mixed.
Dongzi, Shishi, Qiangzi, Gangzi, Big Head, Little Dog Baby, most of these friends in their previous lives have been mediocre all their lives, even if they are the best, that is, they opened a grain and oil shop in the county, and none of them have a net worth of more than one million.
But even so, they are very righteous.
In the years when Li Yi couldn't get along in the village and went out, several of them often came to his house to help.
Especially after his father died of grief and illness, leaving the old mother alone at home, it was these friends who helped the old mother through the most difficult years.
Although Li Yi also made up for them openly and secretly after his career, compared to that brotherhood, Li Yi felt that his material help was nothing.
In this life, he not only wants to rewrite Tang Xue's fate, but also takes these little brothers to soar together!
"Brother Yi, didn't we make an appointment to come here in the afternoon to fish together, why didn't I see you coming?"
"Brother Yi, I heard that you gave Sister Xiaoxue something, is it true?"
"Brother Yi, are you going to marry Sister Xiaoxue as your daughter-in-law, aren't you thinking about Wang Erniu's sister..."
Li Yi smiled and said, "Stop, you asked so many questions at once, how can I answer you?" ”
Dongzi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Uh... Brother Yi, did you really give Sister Xiaoxue..."
Li Yi didn't hide it, and immediately nodded and said, "Hmm! ”
"Brother Yi, what you are doing is not authentic!" Dongzi Road.
Li Yi was not angry, he knew that Tang Xue was kind to the Dongzi family.
Last year, Dongzi's ten-year-old sister went to the river to play, but when she encountered the flood discharge of the upstream reservoir, the little girl was washed away by the water before she could go ashore.
Since then, the Dongzi family has regarded Tang Xue as a living bodhisattva!
He said this because of Tang Xue!
What's more, I do have responsibility for this matter, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not authentic!
"I'll take care of it, but I need your help!" Li Yi said.
Dongzi immediately said: "Brother Yi, what do you want to do, what can we do for you?" ”
Li Yi then said: "I'm going to marry Tang Xue, and I want to hold the wedding in a beautiful way, which requires a lot of money!" ”
Dongzi thought for a while and said, "How much is a lot?" ”
"If the bride price plus other expenses is at least 1,000 yuan!"
When Li Yi said this, he counted all the money for building a house and marrying a daughter-in-law, if he just married Tang Xue, he would naturally not need so much money.
"One... A thousand bucks? ”
Everyone was stunned by Li Yi's words, 1,000 yuan is not a small amount, many families can only save more than 100 yuan after a year of hard work, and 1,000 yuan is worth the total income of many people for ten years!
"Brother Yi, I only have two cents here!"
"Brother Yi, I have four cents!"
"Brother Yi, I'll go back and talk to my dad to see if I can let him get some money out to hold a wedding for you and Sister Xiaoxue..."
Li Yi shook his head and said, "No need, I've found a way to make money, but I need your help." And I won't let you gang in vain, I'll pay you! ”
"You still need to be paid for doing things for Brother Yi, Brother Yi, you say, what can the brothers do?"
It was Qiangzi who spoke, he is the grandson of Feng Zhishu, 17 years old this year, and he is also the oldest in this group of little brothers except Li Yi.
"You should know where there are mushrooms in the back mountain!"
"You know, that thing in the back mountain is much older!"
Li Yi's eyes lit up immediately, and he said directly: "What I asked you to do is to pick mushrooms!" ”
"Mushroom picking?"
"Yes, both pine and trumpet!" Li Yi said.
"Brother Yi, what do you want that thing for, it's not a famine year?" Hadron frowned.
"Don't ask more about this, I'll tell you later!"
"Brother Yi, when do you want it?"
"The sooner the better!"
Qiangzi immediately said: "Then let's stop the whole fish, let's go to the forest to pick mushrooms now, and we should be able to pick a lot when it gets dark!" ”
"I think it's okay, it is estimated that there will be two hours until dark, and the whole dozens of catties will not be a problem!"
"Brother Yi, do you want to go back and find a snakeskin bag or a big frame, and the brothers will go pick mushrooms first?"
Li Yi nodded and said, "Okay, then you go pick first, and I'll go back and pick the frame!" ”
"Okay!"
........
Houshan is three miles away from Nianzishan Village, and when Li Yi returned to Houshan again, it was already more than seven o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was already in the west.
Li Yi came to the forest and saw that Dongzi and Qiangzi had already picked a lot of mushrooms and put several mushroom piles.
Put these mushrooms into the frame one by one, and after a while, the two large boxes brought by Li Yi were all full.
Seeing that the time was not early, Li Yi immediately beckoned the little brothers to go back to the village, otherwise it would still be quite dangerous in the mountains when it was dark.
Although there are no fierce beasts like wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the back mountains, there are wild boars, and the combat effectiveness of that thing is no worse than that of wild wolves.
So, the group carried two large boxes of mushrooms, took those fishing utensils, and walked towards the village.
By the time Li Yi and the others returned to the village, it was already dark, and many people had already lit kerosene lamps!
Although the village has been electrified at this time, there are only a few people who are willing to use electric lights, and the vast majority of villagers are still accustomed to using kerosene lamps at home!
Nothing else, just because of saving money!
When I got home, my parents had returned, my father was giving water to the mule, and my mother was circling around the stove, presumably cooking.
Seeing Li Yi and a group of hairy boys carrying two big baskets in, Li Shankui was a little surprised, and then asked, "What's in the box?" ”
"Mushrooms!"
"What are you doing with that thing, and there's no shortage of food at home?" Li Shankui asked puzzled.
"It's useful, don't ask if you keep coming!"
Then Li Yi asked Qiangzi and them to help carry the mushrooms to the house, and then told them to continue to go up the mountain tomorrow to pick, and he would go to them tomorrow afternoon.
Then, I sent them back!
After the strong son and the others left, Zhang Yuehong asked while lighting the fire: "Xiao Yi, I see that your tea tray is quite clean, how does the cold skin sell?" ”
Li Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's all sold out!" ”
"Did you make any money?"
"I've earned it, I've earned a total of more than ten dollars today!"
"Ten... Ten bucks? ”
At this time, Li Shankui walked in from outside and said at the same time: "What ten yuan?" ”
Zhang Yuehong stammered a little and said, "Old man, Xiao Yi said that he earned ten yuan by selling cold skins today!" ”
Li Shankui was also stunned, then frowned and said, "You kid don't talk nonsense, how can money be so easy to earn!" ”
Li Yi knew that the empty white tooth explanation was useless, so he directly lifted the felt on the kang, took out the bag containing the money from below, and poured all the money in it on the kang!
When a bunch of dime and two cents of gross tickets were scattered on the kang, Li Shankui and his wife suddenly widened their eyes and their faces were full of shock!
