Li Dawei smiled again, "Why don't we go together, Da Niu will drive the tractor and wait, then the sister-in-law and mother should have finished the meal, and you don't need to go to the kitchen." ”

"Don't go!" Wang Xiaojuan sneered, "I don't want to have to go to my uncle's house next door at night to borrow a troublesome house." ”

It's funny to say that Li Dawei sold a thousand yuan to renovate the old house, and the old lady and the old man didn't even leave a room for them.

"I still have two pots of zongzi that haven't been cooked, where am I going?" Wang Xiaojuan waved her hand and asked Li Dawei to leave quickly, not to mention the matter of making her angry.

"What are you doing with so many zongzi this year?" Li Dawei asked curiously.

Wang Xiaojuan was busy and didn't reply, "Your director-led, this one sends a point, that one sends another, this is not necessarily enough." ”

She also felt sorry for her husband who went to the countryside every day to do mass work, and wanted to leave this job behind.

Li Dawei paused for a moment, looking at his wife, who was sweating profusely in the kitchen on a hot day, and his eyes were full of tide.

In his life, his father doesn't love his mother, and the relationship between brothers and sisters is also weak, and a little sister knows to send a telegram to ask during the New Year's holidays.

The best person for him is not those blood related family members, but his wife.

"Let the children help you, I'll go first, don't be too tired."

Li Jianjun, who only knew how to eat, raised his chin and motioned for him to move, and Li Dawei left with zongzi and briefcase.

In the summer, it was dark late, and it was late to eat in the countryside, so I took the tractor back with my eldest nephew, and there was still time to go.

When he arrived at the newly built brick and wood house, it was obviously very lively, but Li Dawei didn't feel the urgency of going home at all.

Seeing that he was alone again, the old man was not very happy, because of his identity, he couldn't say anything about his daughter-in-law.

The old lady was not so polite, and asked directly in front of all her relatives at the dinner table:

"What about her? Not coming again? I don't like that our countryside is dirty and smelly, isn't she from the countryside herself? I don't come to the big festival, so the ancestors are waiting, they are all mothers who don't understand anything! ”

Li Dawei gave a glass of wine to the more than ninety ancestors of the clan to express his gratitude, explaining:

"The family is too busy to pull away, I know that you are always thinking about it, Xiaojuan made your favorite meat dumplings for me to bring, and the ancestors will take a few more and take them home to eat slowly."

The old lady pulled down the cloth bag, snorted, and chose a few to pack for the ancestors, and put the rest in the cabinet and locked it.

The two-year-old daughter of the Da Niu family looked at her and shouted in a small voice: "Grandma, I want to eat meat dumplings......"

The old lady was unmoved, and the little girl was about to cry.

Li Xiaomei deliberately went home for the festival today, but she couldn't see it, and said to her mother, "You take a few points to eat these little dolls, it's a big holiday." ”

Sister Li is married closely, her husband went out to work, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law don't care about her if they talk to her, and they go to her parents' house every day.

Seeing that the nephew's daughter was about to cry, she kicked the little girl out, "Let's go, this meat dumpling is reserved for your cousin, they and your uncle to eat, do you know?" The girl eats these and has rotten teeth. ”

The little girl didn't understand with her eyes wide open, her cousin was still in her aunt's belly, how could he eat meat dumplings?

The daughter-in-law of the big cow, who was originally standing in front of the stove to fry vegetables, threw down the spoon, got up and took her daughter away, glared at the eldest aunt, and said to her husband Li Daniu, who was drinking with his second uncle Li Dawei and father-in-law Li Dalong:

"My mother told me to take the girl back to eat meat dumplings!"

turned his head and went directly out of the Li family's compound and went back to his mother's house next door, leaving behind an embarrassed old man Li and a black-faced Li Dalong.

Li Dawei saw that his nephew was so anxious to die that he didn't dare to chase him, so he jokingly urged him:

"You're still stunned, and you won't come back when you go back to your parents' house with your wife and children!"

The old ancestor and other relatives laughed, the atmosphere eased a lot, Li Dalong had an old face, and scolded:

"If you don't come back, you won't come back, what does the woman who can't give birth to cubs want her to do!"

Da Niu glanced at his father angrily, "What era is it, why does Dad still say such things!" ”

Thinking about his wife and daughter, he nodded at Li Dawei and chased him out.

Li Dawei looked at the angry Li Dalong, and was extremely glad that the children and his wife did not follow.

At this time, in the town of Shinan, Li Manjun had dinner with his younger siblings and mother, with meat, eggs, and freshly baked zongzi of various flavors, and the family sat comfortably around the table.

Wang Xiaojuan killed a duck, and the spicy flavor of the stir-fry hit Li Manjun's taste buds, and she likes to eat spicy.

Although Li Jianjun and Li Lijun each had two duck legs when dividing the meat, and they only had two duck wings in their turn, thinking that the women in their hometown couldn't even get on the table, Li Manjun was already content.

At least some of the deep-seated beliefs are changing little by little with the times.

At night, Li Manjun had a dream, in which a tall figure was hazy and washed by the white misty hot spring.

Water droplets dripped from the ends of her cold and stiff hair, smashed against her broad shoulders, and went all the way down the waistline in the middle of her shoulder blades, and every inch of muscle tensed, exuding a rich male breath, leading her closer to ......

As soon as Li Manjun wanted to get closer to see what the face with his back to him looked like, he was woken up by the loud wake-up call of the town middle school.

When he opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling covered with newspapers above his head, Li Manjun didn't even have time to reminisce, and he couldn't remember the dream at all, only remembering the ambiguity of holding his breath and wanting to get close.

"Man-kun!"

In front of the house, Zhao Yan shouted loudly into the courtyard with his hand as a horn, "Li Manjun! ”

In the era when there was no convenient communication with mobile phones, it was basically by shouting to find someone, Zhao Yan stood in front of the door of the Li family courtyard and shouted several times, and the courtyard door was opened in a hurry.

Li Manjun, who had changed back into her rustic clothes, rushed out, if it weren't for Liu Yan shouting here, she almost forgot that she still had something to do.

"Did you go well yesterday?" Liu Yan handed the purchased sugar buns to Li Manjun as she walked, and they both loved sugar.

Li Manjun took a bite of the bun, the melted sugar filling burned his mouth, he hissed two mouthfuls of cold air and was reluctant to spit it out, swallowed it with the bun skin, and nodded,

"It's okay to go on a blind date, what about you and Liu Cheng?"

"Is today's sugar ready? How was yesterday's harvest? You're just two of you, aren't you? ”

Liu Yan nodded unceremoniously, "It's certain that one less person is tired, but the return is also worth it, the sugar has been boiled, and the toothpaste skin is not much, I only boiled fifteen catties of sugar today." ”

Take out the homemade zippered cloth bag on your waist and take out the change inside.

"Yesterday, the waste and toothpaste skin removed the cost of seventy yuan you gave, and sold a total of eighty yuan and two cents and five cents, and you didn't go yesterday, and you took thirty percent for twenty-four yuan and seven cents."

"I bought sugar for fifteen dollars today, and the remaining seventy-nine dollars and nine cents are yours." Liu Yan counted the money and asked Li Manjun to count it himself.
