Chapter 3 depends on your appearance
After discussing the marriage, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, Li Shankui and his wife were worried about the beans in the field, and after leaving Li Na to take care of Tang Xue, the old couple hurried to work in the field.
And Tang Xue always felt a little twisted when she stayed in the Li family, but she was embarrassed to go back to Zhiqingdian, worried that others would say that she was inappropriate.
In desperation, Li Na had no choice but to accompany her to the back mountain to relax!
Soon, Li Yi was the only one left in the family, and at this time he had time to think about what to do next!
After returning to the house to find a piece of paper and half a pencil, Li Yi came to the big willow tree in the courtyard.
Spread the paper on the big grinding plate, held the pen and thought for a while, Li Yi's eyes slowly became firm, and then he began to write hard!
Ten minutes later, looking at the small 'list' in front of him, Li Yi showed a satisfied smile.
The list is very simple:
Article 1: Make every effort to prepare for the wedding, marry Tang Xue in a beautiful way, and let her accept herself sincerely.
Article 2: Make money to build a house and improve the living conditions of the family!
Article 3: Help Tang Xue be admitted to a key university!
Article 4: Save the life of the eldest sister and avoid tragedy!
Article 5: Take your father for a physical examination......
Slowly put down the pen in his hand, tore the paper full of handwriting into shreds, and lifted it into the air.
Watching the scraps of paper drift away in the wind like snowflakes, a faint smile appeared on Li Yi's face.
Despite his current poverty and lack of materials, his heart is happy.
Unlike in his previous life, although he had countless assets, he was poor and only had money left, and when he died, he had no relatives around him, and that kind of loneliness and loneliness were more terrible than poverty.
Since God has given him the opportunity to choose again, then he must live happily in this life without regrets!
As for the moment, the most important and urgent thing is to make money!
The matter of marriage was settled, but money was always a big problem.
In this era, marriage also pays attention to pomp, although there is no need for a house and a car, nor does it need a fleet and a wedding company, but the bride price and the like are indispensable.
Tang Xue's bride price is only 88 yuan, which doesn't sound like much.
But now an industrial worker has 278 yuan a month, and 88 yuan is equivalent to the salary of an industrial worker for three months without eating or drinking.
If you are in the countryside, you may not be able to save so much money in a year.
In addition, the family should also purchase three turns and one ring for the bride, that is, bicycles, sewing machines, watches and radios.
Although from the perspective of later generations, these are ordinary objects, but in the current era, it is indeed the highest configuration of household items that ordinary people want to have.
At the same time, "three turns and one ring" is not only the highest wealth that ordinary people can have in this era, but also one of the important criteria for most women to choose a mate.
If any family can come up with "three turns and one ring", the matchmaker will step on the threshold of his family.
Tang Xue herself is from the city, and marrying Li Yi, a rural baby, is a marriage, and for this reason, she has to give up her qualification to return to the city, and she lost her body inexplicably, so this marriage will inevitably be pointed at.
If you want to block the mouths of the people in the village, the best way is to make this wedding beautiful, so that everyone can see that Tang Xue was not forced to marry the Li family, but that she had a good vision.
When she married into the Li family, she did not give up her privileged life in the city to endure hardships in the countryside, but came to enjoy happiness.
Therefore, although his father Li Shankui only promised to buy a watch for Tang Xue, Li Yi was determined to buy all the three turns and one ring.
Of course, the objects that can be regarded as family wealth are worth a lot of money, take a bicycle as an example, a bicycle is at least 120 yuan, and it is purchased with a ticket, and money may not be able to buy it.
If you want to buy all these three turns, at least 400 yuan, if you want a big brand, 500 yuan may not be able to buy it.
Combined with the bride price and the money for the banquet, it is conservatively estimated that it will cost seven or eight hundred yuan.
But Li Yi knows the situation at home, and if he can describe it in one word, that is-poor!
In the past few years, there were many people in the family, and they had to provide for the children to go to school, so they basically did not save any money.
In the past few years, with the marriage of Li Yi's eldest sister and second sister, the situation in the family has been slightly better, but Li Yi has not saved much money by such a loser.
Therefore, if you want to rely on your family to make the wedding beautiful, it is obviously impossible, and everything has to rely on him.
This is also the reason why Li Yi set the wedding a month later, he has to complete the three turns and one ring and Tang Xue's bride price within a month.
Li Yi is not worried about making money, after all, he has the memory of his previous life, and it is not a matter of making money that can be caught.
For example, if he remembered correctly, there was a general's tomb buried under the cliff behind the village, in which a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry were buried.
As long as he quietly opened the ancient tomb and took out some of the burial goods inside and sold them, he could get rich in an instant.
But Li Yi didn't want to do this, he was reborn, he wanted to make money with his own hands, and he wanted every penny spent on his family to be clean.
It's just that how to make seven or eight hundred dollars in a month really needs to be carefully considered!
.......
Seeing that the time was already past eleven o'clock, his parents were working in the field, and obviously there was no way to come back to cook, and the third sister was accompanying Tang Xue, so Li Yi decided to cook himself and cook lunch for the family.
When I returned to the house, I searched carefully, and found that there was only half a jar of white flour in the big vat where the rice grain was stored at home, and there was nothing else.
Not to mention meat, not even the most common eggs in the countryside!
Li Yi knew that the eggs at home must have let his mother get to the supply and marketing cooperatives for daily necessities.
Looking at the ingredients "scavenged" in front of him, Li Yi couldn't help but show a wry smile!
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and his cooking skills are good, but it is all based on rich ingredients and a complete range of condiments.
Just give him half a jar of white noodles, and he really can't fix him!
knows that there is a shortage of materials in this era, but the scarcity to this extent is really beyond Li Yi's expectations.
It's already the eighties, and the coastal areas have already been opened, so why are you still so poor!
If you don't steam a basket of steamed buns and boil a pot of porridge, your mother usually does this.
But thinking about it, Tang Xue should have dinner at his house at noon today, this is the first meal his daughter-in-law ate at his house after the relationship was confirmed, and he can't make do with it casually.
Besides, it's summer, and eating steamed buns and drinking hot porridge at noon makes me have no appetite when I think about it.
Suddenly, Li Yi thought of a delicacy that can be made with flour - cold skin!
It's easy to lose your appetite on a hot summer day, which is nothing short of torture for foodies.
In this regard, there is no shortage of countermeasures across the country, and the answer given by the northerners is Liangpi.
The coolness of the cool skin determines that it has a continuous fate with the hot summer.
Under the scorching heat, what could be more appetizing than sour and spicy cold skin?
Thinking of this, Li Yi no longer hesitated, and immediately took action!
