Chapter 386: Housework
"How can you borrow money from Ruohua!"
Li Xing's face was flushed, and he was so irritable, "You hurry up and send her another letter, just say that the family has enough money and doesn't need her." ”
Gu Mian's lips moved, a little ashamed, but he didn't speak.
Li Xing took out a cigarette, put it on his nose and sniffed it and didn't smoke it, and sighed for a while: "At the beginning, we left Dezi and sent Ruohua to cut the queue, I couldn't stand her, my mother was sick a few years ago, the family was nervous, and she didn't help others at all, but now life is better, don't say that you want to let the child come back, you still have the face to reach out and ask for money, and you don't do it as a person!" ”
He and the daughter brought by his wife have no feelings, and if he wants to sacrifice Ruohua's interests for his son, he will definitely do it, but he is not a bad person, and he is not guilty of doing such things.
Gu Mian, who is a mother, is even more impossible not to feel guilty, sighed, and nodded: "Okay, I'll write another letter tomorrow." ”
The next day, Gu Mian came back from the factory, cooked food for the men and children in the family, and prepared to go to the post office.
Today's rules, in fact, the parents of both sides of the conversation have met, and there is no major incident, even if it is done, but this time Yan's mother's face is a little wrong, and she sat down and said a few words: "Our family Lily and Li Hong talk about the object, I think Li Hong is honest and kind, is a good match, but we Lily is an only daughter, I decided early on that her marriage can not be too shabby, the family is not rich, but I can't wronged my daughter, so I am ready to buy her a sewing machine, since we have purchased it, then the man at least has to buy a large piece, I think the bicycle is the best, practical, I don't know what my father-in-law and mother-in-law think? ”
The Li family and his wife looked at each other, Gu Mian gritted his teeth, and agreed with a smile: "Yes, yes, don't worry, my mother can rest assured, I will definitely not be able to wronged the two children, and I will buy them a bicycle when I go back." ”
Seeing that she agreed, Yan's mother frowned slightly before nodding.
Li Hong gritted his teeth, also breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly went to see Yan Lili, the two of them looked at each other, they were a little worried, Yan Lili made a look, and made an appointment to meet in the old place, and sat honestly in a muffled voice, without saying a word.
After sending away a few members of the Yan family, Gu Mian thought about it and said softly: "Otherwise, wait and see, maybe Ruohua ......"
Li Xing's face was ugly, and he slapped the table and said: "Don't say it, I want to borrow money again, in short, don't worry about it, anyway, I don't have the face to use that child's money!" ”
Li Hong also hurriedly said: "Mom, don't worry, let's save a few more months is enough, I will discuss with Lily, buy it later after getting married, or extend the wedding date." ”
In fact, his parents are both working, and he also works in the factory, and the salary is not low, but in the past few years, some people in the family have fallen ill one after another and owe a lot of money, which seems to be stretched, and it will be able to recover in another two years.
As he was talking, there was a knock on the door outside, and the neighbor's eldest sister Wang opened her throat and shouted, "Li Xing, Gu Mian, you have a guest at home." ”
There was excitement in his voice.
Li Xing answered, and hurriedly went out, Gu Mian also followed the probe, as soon as he went out, he saw a military truck parked not far away, and there were several young soldiers sitting on it, one of them was standing under the car and talking to Sister Wang, turned his head and saw him come out, so he turned around and stepped forward a few steps, saluted and asked: "Hello, are you Comrade Li Xing?" ”
The husband and wife glanced at each other, both a little surprised, and Li Xing was even more stunned: "Yes, I am Li Xing, comrades of the People's Liberation Army are looking for me, what is the matter?" ”
Kong Shang breathed a sigh of relief, took the big box he was carrying, and said with a smile: "It was Comrade Fang Ruohua who asked me to send you a bicycle." ”
Li Xing, Gu Mian: "......"
The very well packed carton was opened, the foam was removed, and inside revealed a bike that looked very high-end.
Different from the bicycles sold in the mall now, its workmanship is more exquisite, and it has the characteristics of durability and beauty, and Li Xing was almost dazzled for a while.
Kong Shangjian recalled what Ruohua asked him to say below, and introduced it seriously: "This is the latest test product of Beijing Machinery Factory, No. 1 Feixiang brand bicycle. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the decoration of the silver wings under the handlebars, "You see, the first one here is its number, and the first batch of bicycles is a hundred in total, and this is the first one. ”
Nowadays, bicycles are not particularly rare in big cities, but such exquisite, beautiful and special bicycles are obviously still very eye-catching.
A group of neighbors watching the excitement were amazed.
"Fang Ruohua, it's the girl Gu Mian brought over!"
"It seems that there is really a lot of promise now, I really can't see it when I looked at a very quiet little girl."
"That kid is still a classmate of our Xiaxia!"
Li Xing and Gu Mian were at a loss for a while, and thanked Kong Shang vigorously, "It's really troublesome to the comrades of the People's Liberation Army." ”
Kong Shang deliberately inquired about the situation at the neighborhood, and talked with Li Xing for a few words, and in a few words, he cleaned up the current situation and personality of the two people, don't look at him as Fang Xiao's bodyguard, but he is also a good person, and he can't deal with an honest worker?
After what should be done, he didn't stay long, handed the letter written by Fang Ruohua to Gu Mian, and left.
Gu Mian hurriedly dragged out a big box from home, and asked Kong Shang to bring it to Ruohua, these things were all accumulated by her little by little, including fabrics, shoes and hats, and the sauce she made herself, and she had always planned to mail it to her daughter, but it had been delayed for various reasons, and her brain was hot today, and she couldn't care about anything anymore.
Kong Shang did not refuse, he responded in a good voice, took the things and got into the car and left, as soon as he left, Li Xing and his family barely coped with the various envy of the neighbors, and sat opposite each other when they returned home, and after a while, Gu Mian slowly opened the envelope and read the letter.
Fang Ruohua's letter is only one page, concisely explaining his situation in the past few years, being a teacher in the commune, very easy, and later admitted to Qing University, and now studying in the capital, everything is fine.
While reading the letter, Gu Mian couldn't suppress his sadness, his eyes were red, and he said in a low voice: "Okay, that's good." ”
Li Hong happily rode a car to pick up Yan Lili the next day, and now there is a new thing that can be spread to the streets and alleys immediately, everyone knows, of course, the Yan family also knows that Li Hong has a sister of the same mother who was admitted to Qing University, knew that he was married, and sent him a particularly beautiful bicycle.
Yan's mother thought about it, sighed, and finally swallowed back a little unwillingness, and didn't say anything more.
