Chapter 106: Becoming a Parent (Part 3)
At this time, Song Xin, Li Ming's wife, who heard the movement outside, walked out and saw the four children revolving around Li Ming, with a slight smile on her face at first, and then she saw the cucumbers eaten by the four children, and her face was also stunned.
"Li Ming, is this a cucumber? Fresh cucumbers? Song Xin walked quickly to Li Ming's side and pointed to the cucumber in the children's mouths, his face full of disbelief.
"Yes, it's fresh cucumbers." Li Ming's face was proud, how could he miss such an opportunity to show off.
When he was at home before, everything was done by Song Xin, and in Sichuan dialect, Li Ming was a rake ear, so at home, Li Ming rarely had the opportunity to show off.
This time the opportunity was so good, Li Ming couldn't help it.
It's a pity that Li Ming seems to have forgotten one sentence: the cunning fox can't escape the gun in the hunter's hand!
"It's a fresh cucumber!" Song Xin curiously took the small half of the cucumber in the hand of the second son next to him, and took a look, it was indeed a fresh cucumber.
"Daddy, my cucumber!" The second son, Song Wenli, nicknamed Xiaohu, was ready to cry when he saw the sweet cucumber being taken away by his mother.
"Okay, Daddy's good son, Daddy still has it here." As he spoke, Li Ming took out another cucumber from the bag and prepared to hand it to his second son.
"Li Ming, you're just a day." Song Xin scolded, took the cucumber, returned the small piece of cucumber in his hand to Li Xiaohu, who was looking happy, and then put it in the bag and took it home directly.
"......." Li Xiaohu was dumbfounded, looking at the small cucumber in his hand, and then at the big cucumber that was taken back by his mother, the tears in his eyes finally couldn't hold back.
"Wow...... Dad, I want the long one, not the short one, I want the long one......" Li Xiaohu grabbed Li Ming's legs and cried directly.
However, when he was crying, he didn't throw away the small piece of cucumber in his hand, but instead cried and ate it at the same time, which was really funny.
"Li Xiaohu, if you cry again, you won't have breakfast this morning." Song Xin's merciless voice came from inside the house.
"......." Li Xiaohu stopped crying instantly, but there was still a look of grievance on his face, and finally wiped the snot that had just flowed out, and by the way, he threw the last small piece of cucumber into his mouth and ate it deliciously.
"Oh my stupid son!" Li Ming looked at his second son with some amusement, feeling that this was the life he wanted.
Thinking about it again, he actually wanted to rob before, and Li Ming couldn't wait to give himself a big-eared melon seed.
"I don't want to live such a good life, I actually want to rob others, Li Ming, Li Ming, have you had enough of a good life?" Li Ming reprimanded himself in his heart and reflected on himself......
"Li Ming, come in." Song Xin's voice came from inside the house.
"It's coming!" Li Ming answered and walked into the house.
Song Xin had already taken out all the fresh vegetables, and after seeing Li Ming enter the house, he pointed at those fresh vegetables and asked, "Say, where did these things come from?" ”
Li Ming didn't hide it, and told Song Xin how he got these things, of course, he was stunned, and of course he didn't say anything about wanting to rob Zhou Jianguo.
He was going to rot in his heart and let it pass.
"I see!" Song Xin breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that Li Ming was working in the black market, to be honest, she had been worried about whether something would happen.
The black market is indeed making money, but the security is really worrying, no one knows how long the black market can exist, I don't know if there will be a day when the top will directly make a move, so Song Xin has actually been worried in her heart.
However, Song Xin also knew that if Li Ming hadn't gone to work in the black market, the problem of eating for their family would really be a problem.
Their family itself has four children, plus two, the consumption is really not low, and the parents of the other two are still there, and they have to send them some money and food every month, so after a month, there is no seventy or eighty yuan, plus four or five hundred catties of food, it really can't support this family.
In particular, Li Ming still has to practice martial arts, which costs at least hundreds of yuan every month, and the two add up, if you go to work normally, you can't afford it at all, and only by going to a place like the black market can you earn enough money.
Li Ming is now in charge of guarding the gate in the black market, and his position is not light or heavy, but his monthly salary is about 300 yuan, and there are benefits such as holidays, and he can buy enough food and meat on the black market at a low price.
It was precisely by relying on the salary of three hundred yuan, as well as other benefits, that Li Ming was able to support this large family and continue to cultivate.
Song Xin also understood this, so although she was very worried about Li Ming's safety, she had to agree to Li Ming to work in the black market.
This is actually a multiple-choice question, Li Ming does not go to work in the black market, and the livelihood of the whole family has to be in trouble.
"Xiaoxin, the price of these vegetables is not low, five cents a catty." Li Ming, who was a little complacent, said this sentence again.
"What, a piece of five pounds!"
Song Xin shouted, and then a look of pain appeared on her face, she couldn't help but hit Li Ming, and said very dissatisfiedly: "Those two cucumbers are at least one and a half catties, and you just gave them to the children?" You're not a long time left! ”
"Hey....." Li Ming sighed in his heart, he knew that Song Xin didn't really want to hit herself, she just felt a little heartache about the two cucumbers.
If the two cucumbers were exchanged for money, one would be at least one dollar, and two dollars would be enough for the family to eat well for two days.
Looking at Song Xin's plan to sell these fresh vegetables to subsidize the family, Li Ming's heart was very uncomfortable, he really wanted to say that he would keep these vegetables and eat them at home, but Li Ming found that he couldn't open this mouth.
Don't look at his monthly salary of as much as 300 yuan, which is higher than the people of the ninth floor, but in fact, their family is also very tight.
The consumption of martial arts training is too much, and at least more than 100 yuan has to be consumed in a month, and at most times, it is even possible to consume two hundred or three hundred, that is to say, at least one-third of his monthly salary is consumed in martial arts training.
This is just him, and now the eldest son is about to start practicing martial arts, which is another amount of money, and the eldest daughter will be the eldest daughter in the future, then the second son, and then the younger daughter...... In the future, there will be more time to use money.
To be honest, he was originally more than these four children (the martial artist was quite strong in terms of martial arts), however, considering the problems of life later, after Li Ming and Song Xin gave birth to their fourth child, Song Xin went to Shanghuan.
If there are a few more children in the family, they really can't afford to raise them.
A big man, because he was afraid that he would have too many children and couldn't afford to raise them at home, didn't dare to give birth, if such a thing got out, Li Ming felt that he would lose face.
Thinking of this, Li Ming was very bored in his heart, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he must behave well this time, strive to be able to follow Angkor, become his happiness, and then make more money, so that his wife does not have to worry about money anymore.
"Xiaoxin, leave two cucumbers and three tomatoes, the children like to eat them." Seeing that Song Xin was going to take out all the vegetables and sell them, Li Ming still spoke up.
"No, these vegetables will cost a piece of five and a half pounds, and if you leave these, it will be four or five yuan." Song Xin refused without thinking about it.
This time Li Ming was not used to Song Xin, he took the initiative to step forward, took out three cucumbers and four tomatoes from the bag, put them on the table, and then looked at Song Xin with a gentle face, and said: "Xiao Xin, don't worry, you don't have to worry about money in the family in the future, Brother Ang told me before and asked me to talk to him." ”
"Li Ming, I don't want you to take risks." Song Xin stopped moving, her eyes became moist, she knew very well that the more Li Ming climbed up, the more dangerous it actually became.
Once something happens in the black market, the first person in charge of the black market is the one who suffers, Wu Sihai is the person in charge of the black market, Li Ming was just a janitor before, if something happens in the black market, he can't get it, at most he will go in for two or three years.
However, if he follows Wu Sihai now, when something happens in the black market, Li Ming will not be able to get out, and if it is not good, it may be a peanut.
Song Xin would rather have a hard life at home than see something happen to Li Ming.
"Li Ming, shall we be like this?" Song Xin looked at Li Ming with tears in her eyes, she didn't think about any money at all now, she only thought about Li Ming's safety.
"Xiaoxin, Big Tiger, Little Tiger, they have all grown up!" Li Ming only said this, Song Xin's crying stopped, she hugged Li Ming hard, crying silently, tears instantly moistened Li Ming's clothes.......
Silent crying is the saddest cry!
Song Xin understood Li Ming's words, several children have grown up, and they have to start practicing martial arts, so if he, as a father, doesn't make more money, what will happen to the children's future? Do you really want them to be ordinary people?
If this is the case, Li Ming will not agree, and similarly, Song Xin will not agree.
Once you enter the rivers and lakes, they are as deep as the sea, and the rivers and lakes are very dangerous, but in the same way, the rivers and lakes are full of wonderful, especially martial arts, which makes countless people yearn for it.
Li Ming is a martial artist, he definitely doesn't want his children to be just ordinary people, he knows very well how vulnerable ordinary people are in front of martial artists, so whether it is to let his children have the power to protect themselves, or to give his children a brighter future, Li Ming will step out of a bright road for his children.
Song Xin, as Li Ming's wife, also knows this, so after Li Ming said that sentence, she didn't persuade anymore, she is a mother, and she also hopes that her children will have a brighter future in the future.
As for the ...... Li Ming needs to take risks, he is the father of the children, and this is what he should do.
