Chapter 006: A Better Life Beckons

Before leaving, he instructed Li Xiangqian to ride his bicycle back, Li Xiangqian's home was in a suburban county, thirty or forty kilometers away from Jiangcheng.

Touching the thick pile of money in his pocket, Li Xiangqian felt extremely down-to-earth in his heart, and rode to the Chengdong Farmers' Market, which is a spontaneous market, and he used to be sneaky, but in the past few months, he found that no one cares, and more and more people are doing business.

Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, it becomes more lively.

The things in the farmer's market, the price is cheaper than the store, and there is also the advantage that there is no ticket, Li pushed the car forward and turned around, and when he came out, the bicycle was already full.

20 catties of rice, 20 catties of white flour, 5 catties of fatty pork, boiled oil to eat meat residue is the most fragrant, 5 catties of cured meat, the advantage of cured meat is that it is put for a long time.

bought 1 pound of candy, the youngest fourth sister is only twelve years old, she likes to eat candy, in fact, adults also love to eat, but she is reluctant.

Hemp candy and cloud cake together to buy a pound of filial piety to grandma.

In the end, I bought two bottles of Little Yellow Crane Tower, one bottle of three cents and five cents, which was already considered a high-end wine in this year, after all, a bottle of Moutai was only 8 yuan at this time.

Pedaling home.

Along

Li Xiangqian only felt full of strength, thirty or forty kilometers of the road, did not feel tired at all, and arrived home after more than two hours.

Push the cart into the hospital.

"Grandma, Mom and Dad, I'm back!"

The sound is loud.

Li's father and mother came out of the house and were surprised to see Li Xiangqian with a bunch of things tied to the car.

"Forward, why did you bring so many things back?" asked his former mother.

Li Xiangqian smiled.

"Mom, bring the things into the house first, and if you have something to say, come into the house."

Dad Li nodded, "Yes, let's talk about it when we enter the house." ”

Grandma was paralyzed in bed all the year round, and Li Xiangqian took the cloud cake over, "Milk, eat a cloud cake, it's sweet." ”

Grandma took it with a smile.

"Dad, where's my father?"

"Went out to pick up manure." Dad Li said.

In these years, there is little chemical fertilizer, and many elderly people in the countryside carry a basket to pick up horse dung and donkey dung every day, and come back to make manure and water the fields.

If you don't have dung, you can pick up firewood, in short, don't be empty-handed.

Li Xiangqian picked up the hemp cake again and handed it to his parents, Li Ma took the hemp cake, and couldn't help but ask again, "Xiangqian, why do you bring so many things, how much does it cost?" ”

"Mom, these days I help my friends sell things and make some money, isn't this August 15, let's have a good holiday." Li Xiangqian said with a smile.

Father Li looked at his son, "Don't you have to do anything wrong?" ”

Li Xiangqian naturally did not dare to say that he was selling smuggled goods, "My friend is a self-employed person, and he is buying and selling properly, and now it is said in the national newspapers that the private economy is encouraged." ”

"Be careful, who can say this year." Dad Li sighed.

Decades have changed, and people are afraid of it.

Li Xiangqian didn't pick up, he thought about one thing on the way when he came, and said: "Dad, my mother went to see a doctor a few days ago and borrowed money in the village, and now I have earned some money, and I plan to pay it back today." ”

After hearing this, Li's mother's eyes suddenly turned a little red.

"Is it enough?" Dad Li asked.

"Enough!"

Dad Li nodded, "Damn, find out the list, I'll return it." ”

"Dad, I'll go, I'll take it east."

Li Xiangdong is Li Xiangqian's younger brother, who is also 19 years old this year, and has long since stopped going to school, and now he is working in the village to earn work.

He also has two younger sisters, Li Xiangxi and Li Xiangnan.

Li Xiangxi is sixteen this year, and after graduating from junior high school, he is also working as a farmer at home, and in a year or two, he should find his mother-in-law's house, Li Xiangnan is still twelve years old, and he is still in junior high school.

As for Li Xiangbei,

No, I really couldn't feed it, and then I didn't dare to regenerate.

evening

Li Xiangdong and Li Xiangxi came back from the field, Li Xiangnan also got out of school, and when they saw the eldest brother coming back, the three brothers and sisters were very happy, especially the youngest sister Xiangnan, who was eating hemp candy in her mouth, pestering her eldest brother and constantly asking questions.

Smoke rose in the village, Li Xiangqian said to his parents, took his younger brother Li Xiangdong, and went out to repay the money with a list of borrowed money.

Uncle Daqiang's house 1 piece 2.

Uncle Wang's family is 5 cents.

Erfen's aunt's family is 8 cents.

......

Door-to-door to pay back.

The brothers did not forget to thank their uncle and aunt for their help that day, and finally paid off all the money until nine o'clock.

Back home,

The whole family looked at the brothers.

"Grandma, Mom, the money has been paid off."

The whole family smiled.

Debt-free and light.

Everyone suddenly felt that the burden on their bodies was lifted at once, so comfortable.

"Open the meal!"

Marinated meat stew with rice,

This is usually a meal that can only be eaten during the New Year, today each person has a big bowl of rice, a big spoonful of meat and vegetables, and the one that eats is called a fragrant.

opened a bottle of wine, and the four of them ate and drank wine.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Xiangqian feels very beautiful.

After eating,

The younger brothers and sisters all went to sleep, Li Xiangqian came to his parents' house and took out another wad of money from his pocket, "Dad, Mom, there are more than 400 yuan here, you can keep it." ”

The old couple was very surprised,

There must have been a lot of money to buy those things, and when he came back, he paid off more than 100 yuan, and now he has taken out more than 400 yuan, this eldest son has only been out for half a month, how can he make so much money.

"Boss, you told Dad, you really didn't do anything hurtful?" Lao Li asked with some seriousness.

"I really don't have a father, I just do business and sell things, and I will never hurt nature." Li Xiangqian said in a resolute tone.

The people who bought his watches were all elated, bought their favorite things at a cheap price, and helped others solve their troubles, so it shouldn't be considered a harm to nature.

Dad Li believed in his son, after all, his son was a soldier, and he told his son to go to sleep.

Before Li Xiangqian went far out of the house, he heard his mother and father muttering, "With this money, you can build a brick house. ”

Dad Li felt that what the old woman said was very right, "Tomorrow I will go to the village party secretary and say that I want a village base, and when the farmers are busy, I will use the money to build a house for Qianqian." ”

......

Back to the house and lying on the kang,

Li Xiangqian couldn't sleep for a while, and remembered what Lin Yi once said to him, "In this world, there are many troublesome things, but money can solve 99% of the troubles." ”

Now he deeply agrees with what Brother Yi said.

The borrowed money was repaid,

The burden is removed.

The whole family eats rice stewed meat dishes.

The younger siblings are happy.

Isn't that what he dreamed of before?

Lin Yi took him to make money, Li Xiangqian was deeply grateful, he was ready to go back and talk to Jiang Wu well, if someone really found them in the future, the two of them must grit their teeth and never confess to Brother Yi.

Otherwise~~.

......

Jiang Wu also went home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Bell bell bell ~"

Riding a brand-new Phoenix 28 bar, Jiang Wu rode into the alley with a smug look on his face, greeted a few familiar neighbors, and stopped at the door of his house.

Move the cart into the hospital.

Jiang Wu is the second, his eldest brother got married last year, his sister-in-law is five or six months pregnant, her stomach has risen, she lives in the next courtyard, and the whole family eats together on weekdays.

Jiang Wu also has a younger sister and a younger brother below.

Jiang Wu carried the car into the house, and the sister-in-law who was washing vegetables in the water basin in the yard saw it at a glance, and her eyes were fixed on the new bicycle.

"Xiao Wu, where did you get the new car?"

Jiang Wu smiled.

"My sister-in-law, who just bought it in the afternoon, rushed to the police station to get off work and put the steel seal on it." Jiang Wu's tone was a little proud.

Hear the voice,

The whole family came out to watch.

"Second brother, have you bought a new car?"

"The new car is so beautiful, it's still Phoenix's."

Dad Jiang frowned and looked at his second son, "This car is more than 100 years old, where did you get the money?" "It's chaotic outside now, and he's afraid that his son has gone the wrong way.

"Doesn't the state encourage self-employed people now, a friend of mine is self-employed, and I have time to go over to help sell goods, and celebrate the benefits that my buddy gave me." Jiang Wu made up a reason.

If his father knew that he had earned seven or eight hundred, he would definitely ask for the bottom, but he couldn't say anything about selling electronic watches, so he was just vague.

As for my mother, if I let my mother know that he made seven or eight hundred, the first thing I would do would not be to ask him how he earned it, but to ask for the money and throw him five yuan at most as pocket money.

"Self-employed people make so much money?" Mom was surprised.

Brother Jiang Wu interjected next to him: "Self-employed people are indeed quite profitable, the object of a colleague of mine has made a tofu house, and I heard that I can earn more than ten yuan a day." ”

Jiang Wu gave his eldest brother a thumbs up in his heart.

There is a big brother who said,

Completely save him from explaining it himself.

Jiang Wu approached his father and said with a smile: "Dad, after I came back from the countryside, you gave me your car, and I can only walk to work, this car is to honor you, and you will ride this car to work in the future." ”

Dad Jiang's heart warmed.

The stinky boy also knows that it hurts.

"I don't want it, you ride that old car back, and I'll ride that one." Dad Jiang waved his hand.

"I'm riding that car pretty handily now, you can use this new one, Mom, what to eat at night, I'm hungry." Jiang Wu directly skipped the discussion.

Mid-Autumn Festival dinner is very rich,

The family is happy.

After dinner,

It was already dark, Jiang Wu's eldest brother and sister-in-law went back to the yard next to them to rest, the children went back to the house to sleep, Jiang Wu washed up and went back to his house.

Dad Jiang sat in the yard, wiping the new car with a towel, and when he saw his daughter-in-law coming, he said with a smile: "These places in Phoenix are electroplated, which is more durable than permanent and does not peel off the paint." ”

Jiang's mother smiled.

She could naturally see the old man's love for the car.

Jiang Wu looked through the window and saw that his father was wiping the car in joy, the new car actually had no soil at all, but his father still wiped it so carefully.

Jiang Wu smiled.

Lie in bed.

The moonlight poured in through the window,

He felt that a good life beckoned him.
