Chapter 35 Hurry up to buy groceries and treat them together
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Lao Li got up, he woke up his two younger sons, put on a donkey cart and hurried to the street to buy vegetables. Song rubbed his eyes and said, "Go so early? It's never too late to go after breakfast. Lao Li said: "Do you think it's our own dinner?" I've calculated, at least four or five tables, and if I don't buy the dishes early, how can I ask someone to cook them? Let's eat breakfast on the street, I invite you to eat soy milk fritters. Feng said: "Dad, you have to care about our food, I alone need ten fritters and three bowls of soy milk." Lao Li said: "Keep you full!" Yesterday, your eldest brother gave me 1,000 yuan, which is not enough for you to eat soy milk fritters? "I said that my father was so generous, it turned out that I was using my eldest brother's money as a favor." Matsu and Kaede both laughed. Lao Li said: "Your eldest brother is my son, I trained him to study since he was a child, and his money is my money." Song retorted to him: "Didn't you say that the eldest brother spent money on studying in vain, and it was useless?" How is it useful again at this time? "I'm angry. In fact, reading is like this, when it is not used, it is useless, and when it is used, it is very useful. Lao Li argued.
While the father and son were talking, they washed their hands and faces, then got on the donkey cart and hurried to the street to buy vegetables.
Peach and Li hugged each other and were sleeping soundly, when Tao suddenly heard Li Tao crying and calling her at the other end of the bed, and immediately woke up; When I opened my eyes, the red sun reflected in the window, and the sky was already bright, and then I saw that Li was still holding her and snoring. She understood that he was too tired from driving in the past two days, and the two of them talked until midnight last night, and they were too tired. Therefore, he didn't wake him up, gently broke Li Tao's hand holding her, came to Li Tao's end to coax him, and dressed him and got up.
Li Tao saw her mother and said aggrievedly: "Mom, where have you been, and you won't come to take me to sleep." Momo smiled and said, "I'll go over there and see if your father is awake." Li Tao saw that Li was sleeping on the other side of the bed, and stretched out his two big feet to his end, so he pushed his feet with his hands, crying and saying, "I don't allow him to sleep on our bed, he drives a car." Tao said, "Then where did you tell him to sleep?" Li Tao said, "He sleeps in the car!" ”
The conversation between the mother and son woke Li up, he turned over and sat up, pointed at Li Tao and said, "Little thing, don't tell me to sleep in bed, spit out all the bread, biscuits, and candy that ate me yesterday!" Li Tao was scared and hid in her mother's arms. Peach said, "What then?" Can you spit out all the bread, biscuits, and candy and give him back? Li Tao shook her head. Peach said, "What then?" Shall we tell him to sleep in bed and ask him to bring you bread and biscuits? Li Tao looked at Li and nodded. Tao smiled and said to Li, "Quickly bring bread and biscuits, Li Tao will allow you to sleep in bed." Li jumped out of bed, brought bread and biscuits and put them in Li Tao's hand, picked him up and said, "If you eat my things, you will be my son." Li Tao struggled to ask for him.
The family of three was talking about making trouble, when they heard Lao Li and his two youngest sons outside the gate coming back from a donkey cart to buy vegetables, shouting and calling the family to go out to get vegetables. Tao slapped Li on the body and said, "Don't hurry up, Dad and his uncle are back from grocery shopping!" ”
Li hurriedly got dressed and moved the vegetables on the donkey cart home with Peach. It's hearty! I bought four baskets of meat and vegetarian dishes. Even the master chef was invited. So the family began to take care of the vegetables and buy vegetables.
Lao Li took out a cigarette and gave it to the master, and he also lit one, and said to Li: "You and Tao don't be busy, let's have dinner and go to a treat." First of all, put Zhuang Neighbor and explain the family one by one; In addition, all the old birthday stars over 70 years old are invited, and as many as you want. Relatives and friends from other villages, you can drive to invite them. Pay attention, don't drive too hard, the roads in our mountains are not as smooth and wide as the roads in Shenzhen. Li threw away his work and took Tao and Li Tao to the kitchen for breakfast.
After a while, Li and Tao put on their clothes and put on a new set of clothes for Li Tao; Li brought cigarettes and candy, and the family of three happily went to every house in the village to entertain guests. When the whole family saw that Tao was wearing new clothes, new leather shoes, and a gold necklace and gold ring today, their eyes lit up, and they all stared at her. Song pulled Lafeng and said, "Third brother, you see, she has more than a thousand yuan in this body, right?" I also said that the eldest brother gave us the most. Kaede said, "Be content." How can we compare with my sister-in-law? She can sleep with her eldest brother and give birth to a son for her eldest brother, can you? Song smiled, patted Chao Feng and said, "Can you, give birth to one for me?" "That's not it, I still want to compare with my sister-in-law."
When the neighbors of the whole village saw that Li Hetao was dressed in new clothes and brought cigarettes and candy to invite them to the banquet, they were very grateful and said, "I must go at noon." It's good to hear you talk about working in Shenzhen to make a fortune, if the money there is easy to make, ask your brother to go to work with you. ”
After inviting the villagers in the village, Li Hetao went to the mountain to invite the old mountain master. He is the oldest and oldest man in the spring breeze, 80 years old this year, although his beard is white, his eyes are not dazzled, his ears are not deaf, his spirit is strong, and his walking is tough. He lived alone in the mountains all year round, and made a living by raising chickens and sheep and hunting and collecting medicine. But he knew everything about the whole village, and he remembered it by heart.
Seeing Li and Tao dressed gorgeously and neatly, the old mountain master came to invite him to their house for a drink with a smile on his face, and joked, "What? You're getting married again? Li said: "Old mountain master, are you old and confused? Our son Li Tao is four years old, why is he still married? The old mountain master said: "I'm not confused, you are not married, why are you wearing the clothes of the bride and groom?" Tao said: "Old Mountain Master, you go to the county street to take a look, don't those people wear red and green one day?" Do they get married every day? The old man stroked his goatee and said, "The world has really become richer!" In the past, the bride and groom were not as well-dressed as you are today. You see, Tao still wears a gold necklace and a gold ring, which only the wives and young ladies of landlords and capitalists could afford to wear before liberation. Dolls, you are really blessed to meet this era! Li said: "Old man, we are entrusted with reform and opening up." I didn't get admitted to university, and there was a lot of labor at home, so I went to Shenzhen Special Economic Zone to work, and I made some money in the past two years, not only to buy these clothes and jewelry for Tao, but also to build a two-story small western-style building for my family! You see, construction will start soon! The old mountain master gave a thumbs up and praised when he heard this: "Li, what are you doing!" I have long said that among these children in the spring breeze, there are only three peaches, plums and apricots, which are born from the essence of the mountains, rivers, sun and moon of our Daliang Mountain, and they will definitely have a great future in the future! That's what I really do! He took a puff of cigarette and recalled: "Two years ago, I heard that only one of the three of you was admitted to college and went to college in the provincial capital; I thought, "No, according to my eyesight, all three of them should go to college." It turns out that God has made other arrangements for the three of you to be famous in three aspects. I heard that Tao is helping Secretary Wang to engage in tourism development, and sooner or later there will be a success! I've lived to be eighty years old, what haven't I experienced? Trust me, I can't get people wrong with these eyes. Tao said, "Old Mountain, thank you for your good words!" If I become famous and the tourism development of Daliang Mountain is successful, I will definitely come to invite you to drink wine. The old mountain master said very confidently: "It seems that my cup of happy wine is ready to drink again!" Peach, do it well! Our Daliang Mountain is a treasure land of feng shui, if it is developed, it will definitely become rich in the world! Tao said: "At noon, Secretary Wang is also coming, you always talk to him." "Definitely, definitely!" The old mountain master hurriedly agreed.
Li and Tao'anbi's neighbors in the whole village drove to invite their aunts, aunts, uncles, cousins and other relatives, and their father's good friends, who wanted good classmates. Everyone was very happy to see Li coming in a car, and without saying a word, they immediately followed in a car. When they arrived at home, Li took out two tables of playing cards and told them to play slowly, and then drove to the township to ask Secretary Wang.
