264 furloughs, married
My sister Wang Xiaodie wanted to stay in Wang Yuan's courtyard to eat, but her mother couldn't help her and left her alone, but when she left, she still asked:
"You're done with your homework today? Don't go up in the middle of the night and make up for your homework. ”
"Write...... I'm done. ”
Sister Wang Xiaodie was a little weak in an instant, in fact, she only wrote half of it, and she planned to continue writing after eating, but now that her mother asked, she must not tell the truth, otherwise her mother would definitely scold her for not finishing her homework and having fun.
It's been a long time since I've eaten a wyvern.
In the evening, Wang Yuan went to the Flying Dragon Farm to catch two flying dragons and came back, processed and cut them into pieces and stewed some potato pieces, and soon served them on the table and ready to eat.
Sister Wang Xiao happily washed her hands and ate, looked at the big white cat meowing next to her, and asked: "Second brother, can you give Da Bai a piece of flying dragon meat to eat?"
"Give it, but just give a piece, the flying dragon is expensive."
Fluttershy is instantly happy, grabs a piece of dragon meat and hands it to the white cat, watching the latter purr as she eats.
The second daughter in Li Yan's arms saw the big white cat, twisted her body and wanted to escape from Li Yan's control to catch the cat, but Li Yan grabbed her back with a stretch of her arm:
"Honestly, I'm going to spank you."
"What does a cat purr and snoring when it eats?"
"Maybe it's happy, I'm not a cat and I don't understand, hahaha~"
While eating and chatting, a cold wind rose outside the window again, and the plastic sheeting covered with firewood was rattling.
After eating and cleaning up the table, Wang Yuan made a pot of tea and brought it into the house, and took off the rifle from the wall for maintenance.
After reading the weather forecast, Li Yan turned off the TV, and when she was bored at home, she wanted to go to Aunt Yue'er's house.
"Are you going? Let's go together, huh? ”
Li Yan hadn't seen Aunt Yue for a while, and she missed her strangely, and she really wanted to hear the interesting things in her unique voice.
"Why are they both gone, what about the children?"
"Or ...... Bring them all? ”
"Forget it, it's too crowded and panicked when the family goes over, you go and I'll watch the children at home."
Li Yan put on a padded jacket, wrapped a scarf around and went to play, and said with a smile before leaving the house: "I'll play for a while and come back."
And Wang Yuan went to the East House to put a plate of peanuts, poured a glass of white wine, a peanut and a small sip of liquor, and was content.
The big white cat stepped on his thighs and picked up the table with his little paws, and sniffed the aroma of peanuts.
"Meow~"
"What's it called? Do you want to eat long fruits? To you both. ”
Petting the big white cat casually, the oily and slippery feel is really good, the big white cat lay on her lap after eating peanuts, purring and snoring.
The three little guys were rolling around on the kang, and Wang Yuan didn't care about them, let them play by themselves. And her sister Wang Xiaodie said "I'll go get the school bag" and ran away, and when she came back, she was still carrying a gray tattered cloth bag.
The cloth bag was sewn for her by her mother, it was ugly but strong, but after so many years, a corner of the bottom was also ground out.
The mouth is too small to fall out of the schoolbag, but it looks too shabby.
"Why is your bag rotten?"
"Oh, who knows when it will break, I forgot about it." Fluttershy moves a stool and sits down at the counter, pulling out her badly curled language book and notebook, and begins to copy ancient poems.
The three dogs fall asleep against the kang wall, and the three children fall asleep after a while, and the room is quiet except for the rustle of her sister Fluttershy's writing.
After a while, Wang Yuan finished drinking the liquor in his cup, got up and went off the kang to see Fluttershy do her homework.
"Oops~ Second brother, you're blocking the lights, I can't read the words clearly."
"Okay, okay, you can write it quickly." Wang Yuan turned his body to the side and stopped blocking the light, but when he glanced at his sister's homework book, he instantly frowned:
"What are you writing about, it's the same as the shell Lang crawling, who can recognize it? Write well! ”
"I can't finish writing this, I'll write it again next time."
The tip of the pen swiped quickly on the paper, and after another half an hour, it clicked~ She threw the pen and shouted excitedly:
"It's done! I won't have to write anymore when I get to school tomorrow morning. ”
"Look at your book, our mother wrapped the book cover in newspaper for you, and you have nothing to do in class, do you have nothing to do to eat and play? Why did the book become like this? And your pencil case, why can't you even pull a few flats, have you smashed it? ”
"Oh, you're more annoying than Mommy."
Fluttershy rubbed it~ and stuffed things into her school bag, only to reach out and pull out a paper toad from her school bag.
"This is my dad's good-looking, right? It can still jump when it presses its buttocks, and the little fish can fold camels with paper, and I haven't learned how to ...... after watching it several times."
Put the paper stack of toads on the cabinet, press the buttocks and really jump forward, the jump distance is quite far.
Fluttershy grins excitedly, but Wang Yuan's face is full of black lines.
"Hurry up and have a good line, you're also quite smart, spend more time on studying."
"Oh, I see."
Fluttershy goes to the kang to tease the cat, and if she says anything to Wang Yuan, it is likely that her left ear will go into her right ear.
Wang Yuan didn't care about her, he went to the East House and got a martial arts book and came back to read it, it was Gu Long's "Sky Sword", published in 1960, and it has been decades.
The house was quiet again, and when Li Yan came back, she saw that the lights were on, but not only Wang Yuan, whose face was covered with a book, was asleep, but Fluttershy, the three children, the dogs, and the big white cat were all asleep.
"Oh mom, you're all asleep? Is it cold if you don't cover the quilt? Spread the quilt and go to sleep. ”
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past few days, Wang Yuan has taken the dogs to hunt every morning, occasionally returning empty-handed, and sometimes he can catch hares, sand and half chickens, pheasants and the like.
It was ten o'clock in the morning.
Li Yan was boiling water to treat pheasants, and suddenly a bicycle stopped at the gate of the yard, and it turned out to be Li Ping.
"Sister, are you at home? Open the door, it's me! ”
"It's Xiaoping, didn't you go to work today?" Li Yan didn't even bother to wipe her hands, so she hurriedly ran out to open the fence gate.
"We're having a weekend, isn't it Saturday? Don't go to work. Li Ping pushed the bicycle in, untied the rope, and lifted some of the things she had bought.
Pork, canned food, snacks, preserved fruits and the like, and a large black-skinned sugar cane.
"There is no shortage of anything at home, buy these things Gaha, spend money indiscriminately......"
"Buy it and eat it, aren't you happy to have something good to eat? Haha~ Yo little pavilion, do you miss your aunt? Come and let my aunt hug. ”
"Auntie!" Xiao Tingzi immediately ran over on his short legs, and tripped over a small pothole, but fortunately Li Ping ran two steps to pick her up.
"Oh, it's getting heavier, do you want to be auntie? Look at the way you smirk. ”
When I lived here before, Li Ping helped take care of the small pavilion, and they were very familiar with each other.
After chatting for a while, the two of them worked together, and at noon stewed not only pheasant, but also pork.
It turned out that Li Ping advanced her salary of 50 yuan and bought some things for her parents and younger brother, and then bought some things and came over.
She is very grateful to Wang Yuan and Li Yan, and knows that if it weren't for the help of her sister and brother-in-law, let alone such a high salary, I am afraid it would be difficult to find a job.
With money, her waist is straight, Li Ping is much more active and cheerful, she couldn't even afford a pack of matches, a hairpin, and a bottle of skin care glycerin.
Now - canned food, pork, snacks, etc.
She suddenly realized that life was so wonderful.
"Don't spend the money you earn, save it well, maybe you will use it when you want to, squirrels know how to save food......"
At this time, Wang Yuan came back with the dogs, he had already returned from hunting, and had been watching them play cards at the commissary before.
"Yo~ Xiaoping is here? Is this what you brought? You didn't bring me two bottles of good wine, hahaha~"
"Phew, I'm not going to bring you wine." Li Ping also smiled.
At lunchtime, Wang Yuan also asked Li Ping about her work on the farm, and was relieved to hear that no one bullied her, that her work was quite easy, and that she could learn something.
After lunch, Li Ping suddenly said something - her brother-in-law was getting married.
"Oh? Where's the girl? ”
"Xixiang's, our cousin introduced me, I haven't seen that girl, our parents and our parents have seen each other, they are very satisfied with the handsomeness, and our brother is also willing."
Li Ping wiped the table with a rag and worked neatly.
"This thing...... Hey, our brother is willing, and our parents and parents also feel good, so let's do it. Li Yan was a little abrupt, she used to follow her buttocks, and the little fart child hugged by her sister was about to get married.
"Yes, too...... Our mother said that the girl's family raised toads and built six large tiled houses, which was very good. ”
Li Ping is more worried than Li Yan, because she is not married and will often go home, and she is a little worried that she will have conflicts with her brother and daughter-in-law in the future.
If there is a conflict, the younger brother is likely to face each other, and the parents may also compromise, and then she will not know what to do.
"Raising toads? Oh my mother, I got goosebumps all over my body when I thought of the toad, and I looked at Ke Diaphragm in a panic. ”
Li Yan was terrible as a toad, grinning and rubbing her arms repeatedly.
The brother-in-law's wedding date was set on December 15, 1994 in the solar calendar, which was still early, but in the evening, Wang Yuan was cracking firewood in the yard, Li Yan saw Li Ping teasing the child in the house, so she quietly walked to Wang Yuan and said:
"My brother is married, so how much money does our family have?"
"Ah, that's it...... How much money do you want? Wang Yuan picked up the axe and cracked the firewood directly, and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"I don't know, it's the first time I've encountered this kind of thing, according to what I said, it's okay to give 12,000 yuan, our family is not short of money, and I only have such a younger brother...... The main reason is that I don't know how much money Xiaoping gets, so I'd better take the same amount of money as her. ”
For the brother-in-law, Li Yan and Li Ping are both sisters, if one gives more and the other gives less, it will cause the person who gives less to have no face, and it is easy to cause family conflicts.
Therefore, as far as Wang Yuan knows, when encountering a similar situation on Wangjiatun'er's side, the amount of money generally given is the same.
"Then what are you hesitating about? Isn't Xiaoping in the back room, just ask her, you two sisters can discuss this kind of thing. ”
"Hey~ Xiaoping just worked and didn't have any money." Li Yan still went back to the house to discuss with Li Ping, and finally reached an agreement to give 500 yuan.
500 yuan is nothing for Li Yan, but it is really not a small amount for Li Ping.
Time passes.
Autumn goes to the east, the snow falls, and the whole world becomes covered in silver again.
Evening of December 14, 1994.
Wang Yuan went to his grandfather's yard to play for a while, and when she came back, Li Yan just wrapped the buns out, and in order to prevent the children from making trouble, she also pinched three noodles for the children, and no one had to rob one person.
"Daddy, Daddy......"
"Yo, who pinched the dough for you?" Wang Yuan slipped on the road, his trousers and legs were covered with snow, and he felt very warm instantly after entering the house.
"Mom pinched it!" The little pavilion immediately shouted excitedly.
"It's good, it's just really ugly, let's go play, I'll cook it for you later."
Li Yan glanced at him: "I'm in a hurry to make steamed buns, you still run out to play, and I can't be busy by myself, hurry up and light the fire, it's really late for today's meal."
Put a grate fork and grate in the pot, Li Yan spread a sticky cloth on the aluminum grate, sprinkled a layer of flour to prevent it from sticking, and quickly picked up the soft meat buns, and finally put a few pieces of washed yam.
"Burn it, burn it."
"Okay...... I didn't expect it to be so troublesome at night, tomorrow your brother gets married, why don't we go to the banquet? ”
"Ouch~ Are you still waiting for a feast? Shall we have dinner tonight? Li Yan smiled instantly, went out and picked up some wooden stumbling blocks and came in, urging Wang Yuan to hurry up and light the fire.
The weather was cold, and after closing the door, the heat in the house became more and more, and the last half of the room was hot, and the small pavilion looked up at the thick layer of heat as if looking at a large number of clouds.
"Woo~Woo~"
"Galagala~"
The dogs wanted to come in and scratch the door frantically with their paws, but Li Yan scolded with a general face:
"Dead dog, don't scratch the door, the door is broken by you, if you dare to scratch the door again, I'll knock you with a burning stick!?"
"Oh, they can come in if they want to, they want to be with the master."
Wang Yuan still let the dogs in, and when the meat buns were cooked, he fed them a few meat buns, the dogs were indeed too good to eat, even if a dog only ate one meat bun at a time, the three dogs had to eat 9 big meat buns a day.
Coupled with what people eat, a pot of meat buns can be eaten in one day.
During the meal, Li Yan asked about the wedding car, Wang Yuan found a Passat for his brother-in-law as a wedding car, and also found a video camera, in this era, there are still very few people who can find a video recorder to film the wedding process.
"Don't worry, the car and the VCR are all arranged." Wang Yuan took a bite of the meat bun, and the oil that came out instantly flowed to his hands, and he quickly lowered his head and puffed.
