32. The time is poor
After some rinsing, the hair of the big yellow dog looked shiny and shiny, and after it was shaken clean, it no longer wore a dreadlock, and the leprosy was also covered.
The little girl wanted to chase Rhubarb to play, Ling Er hurriedly scolded her twice, and asked the third child to take care of her, he didn't let Rhubarb enter the house now, let alone contact people.
The eldest sister called Ling Er to the kitchen, pinched the thousands of dollars and passbooks that had been turned out of his bag in her hands, and asked carefully, "You really didn't break the law?" ”
She was nervous.
"Oh, it turns out that I was here with you, I was going to trouble the fourth child just now," Ling Er patted his chest, although he strengthened his nutrition and grew some meat at this stage, he was still thin and angry, "I can't do anything illegal with my physique, you, don't look down on me, it's okay to use your brain, just like last time, it's still from treasury bills." ”
"Didn't lie to me? Is the money out there so easy to earn? The eldest sister said suspiciously, "Abba has been out for so many years, and it is a problem to eat by himself." ”
Ling Er said disdainfully, "The money outside is easy to earn, the key is that he has no brains." ”
If you had a brain, you wouldn't have been caught for the first time you debuted, and it was just for two and a half dollars.
The eldest sister said, "Okay, then I believe you for the time being." ”
"What do you mean to believe in me for a while?" Ling Er was unhappy, "If you dare to love me, you're not worthy of trust at all, right?" Let me tell you, your brother and I will be the ones who will do great things in the future, not as stupid as you think, I am really going to break the law, it must be a big project involving hundreds of millions, and I will definitely not break the law for the sake of thousands of children, and I can't afford to lose that person.
Your brother, I..."
"You're still energizing, aren't you?" The eldest sister hurriedly stopped him and said with a straight face, "No amount of money!" I'm afraid that you have the luck to earn, but you don't have the ability to spend. ”
"I don't have the ability to spend money, why am I still alive," Ling Er grinned, "This is why there is no mine at home, and the poor jingle rings, otherwise I have to let you see what it means to be a gentleman, a loser, the key is that we don't have that condition." ”
"I didn't notice it, you're getting more and more broken now." The eldest sister gave Ling Er the money and passbook in her hand, "Take it, don't say anything about it, don't let people see it, the fourth and third children, don't say anything if they don't have a door." ”
Ling Er didn't answer, just smiled and said, "Grandma said no?" ”
The eldest sister gritted her teeth and said, "Don't say it." ”
"Where's Abba?" Ling Er then asked.
The eldest sister smiled and said, "If you are filial to him, you can offer treasures, and I won't stop you." ”
"That's all right." The sister and brother reached an agreement, Ling Er was very satisfied, he only took the passbook, as for the cash, he confiscated it, "You pretend, do it for the family, start school immediately, move, it's all money."
Oh, by the way, you'll have to leave me five hundred dollars. ”
Ling Er ordered another five hundred yuan from it and came out to put it in his pocket.
He had to go to Liu Guangxing.
The fifth child is going to enter the household registration, otherwise he won't even be able to go to kindergarten after entering the city.
In the evening, for the first time, Erbo Ling Daishan wanted to invite him to dinner.
Although they are uncles and nephews, Ling Er really has never served their family's rice.
On the one hand, it is because the relationship between Ling Daishan and Ling Daikun is not good, and on the other hand, because the conditions of each family are not good, if you give others more food, your stomach will be more uncomfortable.
In the rural areas at present, especially in the central and western regions, it can only be said that food and clothing have just been solved, but it is limited to food and clothing, and it is very difficult to eat as well as possible.
"You've spent a lot of money, have you?" Ling Er asked Ling Long, if Ling Long hadn't given him a big surprise from Lao Tzu, he Lao Tzu would not have invited Ling Er to dinner so enthusiastically.
"Two hundred." Ling Long leaned on the Tsubaki tree bare-chested, and when he didn't pay attention, there was pine resin stuck on his back, and his hands couldn't reach his back, so he could only change to another poplar tree and rub it around.
Ling Er smiled and said, "It's quite generous." ”
"Ling Song's object said okay, the money is poor, and it's not easy to borrow everywhere, so I just gave it all, and they will be embarrassed to save it."
Sister Ling Long has three brothers, the eldest sister is married, he and his elder brother Ling Song have not found a partner, it has always been a matter of the parents' hearts, and now Ling Song has finally negotiated one, which is also a relief for the whole family.
As long as Ling Song got married, he thought that there would not be so much pressure on his shoulders.
Ling Er said, "Yo, it's fast, which one?" ”
Ling Long said, "The second child of Liu Bangkui's family in Xiying, you have seen it." ”
"Liu Yulian, it's good." In Ling Er's impression, Ling Song's daughter-in-law is a very virtuous person, after getting married, life was difficult, and she couldn't get along with her mother-in-law, so she simply picked up Ling Song and went out to work.
Her eldest sister went to Pujiang to work, and they also helped to contact the work and took care of her for a few days.
This is well, he Ling Lao Er remembers.
Ling Long said, "Big brother is married, I'm nothing, I can mix it up as much as I want, don't you say?" ”
"You? It's better to take it easy, don't rush, take your time. ”
Ling Long didn't have the luck of his brother Ling Song, Ling Er remembered that Ling Long's daughter-in-law was definitely not a good life, and the advantages of her whole body were only good skin, and she looked good.
At the beginning, Ling Long also wanted to look like a family, but as a result, those days were really terrifying.
It's self-inflicted.
If Ling Er hadn't been for Ling Long's sake of helping him, he really didn't want to pay more attention to him.
Ling Long said, "Brother is rich now, and he can still be afraid of not having a daughter-in-law." ”
Of course, there is no comparison with Ling Er.
"The days of wealth are still ahead," Ling Er said with a smile, "Don't worry now, just pick slowly, don't pick and choose." ”
What came out of the chimney of the second uncle's house was smoke, smelling and choking, and what came out of the window was also smoke and smelling incense.
His second aunt killed an old duck and stewed it with tofu and bean skin, a big pot full of it.
"I'll have a beer." Ling Er can drink now, but he doesn't plan to drink more, he is still a child, and he is still in the development stage, so he doesn't dare to drink more.
He is now less than 1.7 meters, and he will continue to grow.
In case you drink without moderation and don't grow any longer, there's no place to cry.
Ling Daishan said, "I know that you are studying, and I won't let you study, so I won't let you drink these two or two." ”
"Okay," Ling Er saw that it was seed wine, which was not bad, and thought that drinking less would not get in the way, so he picked up the cup, "Pour less." ”
Ling Long poured wine and poured it full.
Then he gave him a piece of duck leg and said, "You can nibble on it." ”
"Alright, don't clip me anymore." Ling Er blocked it with one hand, and raised the cup with the other hand and said to Ling Daishan, "Second uncle, let's go one." ”
His Lao Tzu is coming back, and he feels that it is necessary for him to have a good relationship with Ling Daishan, and he will also rely on it when the time comes, otherwise it will be a little difficult for him to deal with his little arms and legs.
"Drink slowly." The nephew's attitude was very satisfying to Ling Daishan.
"Brother Song, let's have one of the two brothers." Ling Er touched another glass towards Ling Song.
"You eat vegetables." Ling Song is dark and thin, honest and doesn't talk much.
Halfway through the drink, Ling Daishan suddenly said, "Your father is coming back in a few days, can you pick it up?" ”
"He has long legs, and he will come back if he wants to come back, and I don't have time to pick him up." Ling Er did not hide his attitude towards his Lao Tzu.
"I heard from Ryuko that you also earned some money this time, right?" Ling Daishan saw him nodding, so he continued, "Keep it yourself, and you will have to spend it on school later." ”
"Last time I filled in the volunteers, I Liu Li and Zhiqiang helped me fill in the No. 1 Middle School in the city," Ling Er said, "I don't think it's a big problem, the score will come down in a few days, and I discussed it with my boss, go to the city together, and find a job casually, which is better than at home." ”
Ling Daishan said, "Then if you don't have your own nest, you still have to spend money on housing?" ”
Ling Er said, "So I'm saving money now." ”
Ling Daishan said, "You really can't farm the land, it's okay for me and your uncle to pick up the land, I can rent it for you, it's all family, not outsiders." Your eldest sister is not young, that is, in the past two years.
The day before yesterday, your third uncle sent a telegram to your grandfather, saying that you should also go to the army. ”
"If I were the only one in the family, I would really want to be a soldier." Ling Er told the truth.
If there is no family drag, maybe he will really go to the army, and he will regret being a soldier for two years at most, and he will regret not being a soldier for a lifetime.
It's not wrong for him to be a big man to enter the army to exercise and exercise, and he doesn't have to spend his whole life on it.
What if he is like his third uncle, and mixes up the name of the hall?
His third uncle is the fifth oldest in the family, and he is a celebrity within a radius of ten miles, and there are many soldiers in the vicinity, but his third uncle is the only one who has become famous.
In the counterattack against Vietnam, he has made many meritorious contributions, medals, and promotions, if he remembers correctly, he should be a battalion-level cadre now.
But he doesn't know the specifics, on the one hand, his third uncle doesn't come back much, and on the other hand, he doesn't return to his hometown much after graduating from college.
The last time the two saw each other was because of the death of his grandmother.
"Hey, it's really not a matter to be a soldier." Ling Daishan thought about his own family, and his second son Ling Long finished his military service, and he couldn't get up or down, thinking that his younger brother could take care of him a little.
I didn't think about it, I didn't count on it.
If Ling Er enters the army, how much better can he be than Ling Long?
Not necessarily, it is estimated that it will be two years of foolishness.
"We'll talk about it then." After Ling Er drank the wine in the cup, he didn't drink it anymore, and after filling the bowl of rice, he soaked the soup and finished it in one go.
After eating, after greeting for a while, he got up to leave, and Ling Long took a flashlight to send it.
"No, it's a big moon day, and it's not blind." Ling Er pushed Ling Long into the house and walked home by himself, and just after walking for a while, the light of a flashlight hit his head.
He ducked that way, and the lights chased him wherever he went.
"Who!" He blew up.
"Yo, Ling Er, you have a good temper."
"Flower Girl's Yo Xi..."Before Ling Er could play tricks, he heard a heavy cough, which was Liu Guangxing's.
"Uncle, it's so late, where are you going?" Ling Er immediately changed his attitude.
Liu Guangxing said, "A smell of wine, where can you drink this bear-like?" ”
Ling Er said, "My second uncle's family." ”
flirting with other people's daughters in front of others, he can't help but feel a little weak.
Liu Li said, "When did you come back?" ”
Ling Er said, "I'll be home in the morning." ”
Liu Guangxing said, "Go back, be careful not to fall into the river." ”
"That can't be." Ling Er hurriedly left.
When he got home, the eldest sister was bathing the fifth child, and he didn't see the shadow of the third and fourth children.
The eldest sister said, "Hiroko's family bought a TV set and watched TV around there." ”
Ling Er looked at his watch, it was already half past nine, anyway, it was summer vacation, just look at it, ignore them, these days are dark lights, it's really not easy to find an entertainment activity.
He himself was bored and panicked, not to mention two and a half grown children.
Spread a mat in the yard, light mosquito coils, because I drank some wine, and fell asleep without effort.
When I woke up, it was just dawn. The third collector of the yellow eel cage has returned and is vacating the cage at the door.
"It's not less." He shook the bucket, to say the least, more than two catties.
"More than three pounds a day." The third child poured a big yellow eel into the bucket again, and now the eldest sister is not rare for his money, and he has saved the money he earned, and the amount is already very objective.
"Tell me when it's ready, we'll go out on the street together." Ling Er brushed his teeth and washed his face, dressed the fifth child, and helped feed the pigs.
"This is going to be sold early, right?" He said to the eldest sister, "I can't take it with me if I move it right away." ”
"We'll talk about it then." The eldest sister is reluctant to sell, not only pigs, but also chickens and ducks and other livestock, in order to save food, she only wants a small number of them, and they are all treasures.
The third child has already put today's yellow eel into a woven bag, waiting for Ling Er to leave together, and as soon as the brothers go out, the fourth child is also shouting to follow.
"Let's go, hurry up, go slowly, no one is waiting for you." Ling Er walked in front with a bag of lobsters, and the third followed behind with a bag of yellow eels.
As soon as the three brothers and sisters went up the river slope, Huang Zhiqiang chased him from behind on a bicycle, and a bag containing yellow eel was tied behind the saddle.
Ling Er said to Lao Si, "Take Zhiqiang's bicycle to go." ”
"Butt upside." The fourth child glanced at Huang Zhiqiang's car with disgust.
"Cut, I'm not happy to take you yet." Huang Zhiqiang said, "Do you want to put things up?" ”
"Unless you want to exhaust me." The lobster bag that Ling Er was carrying also had about twenty catties, and he tied the two bags of lobster and yellow eel tightly on the back seat and said, "You sell it by the way, don't wait for us, you will count it when you come back." ”
Then I watched Huang Zhiqiang ride away first.
When they arrived at the bridge, Huang Zhiqiang was sitting under the shade of a tree licking ice cream and eating.
Huang Zhiqiang counted the money for Ling San, and Ling Er helped push the bicycle and went to the town together.
The fourth child dialed the bicycle bell from time to time, and the crisp bell sound attracted the attention of many people.
Ling Er said, "Aren't you rare?" ”
Lao Si said, "Because it's not mine." ”
Ling Er smiled and said, "Pay attention to your attitude towards me in the future, when you enter junior high school, I can consider buying you a new one." ”
The fourth brother said, "The second brother said, he bought it for me." ”
Ling Er looked at the third child.
The old man didn't speak, he was timid, whether it was morning or night, he didn't dare to go down to the field to collect the yellow eel cage.
He coaxed the fourth child to accompany her, on the condition that he buy a bicycle in the future.
"Your second brother has no money." Ling Er saw through everything.
"If you don't force him, you don't know how rich he is." The fourth said, "He sold it for twenty yuan in the morning." ”
