Li Yan walked to the door of a three-entry quadrangle.

I saw a half-thin old man smiling at himself, this old man was thin and thin, like a monkey, walking and shaking, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

He wore a pair of reading glasses wrapped in medical tape on his face, and he was fiddling with a few pots of flowers with a shovel in his hand.

If you strip this old man naked, he will be a monkey.

When Li Yan looked at this old man, he was immediately happy.

Isn't this the three great masters in the courtyard, Yan Bu expensive?

Ha ha......

There is no way, Yan Bugui himself is relatively thin and small, and his family has a large population, so he has not been able to eat.

has been in a state of malnutrition for a long time, and he has lived this way.

"The third master, you're fiddling with your flowers and plants again, don't you have classes when you come back to school so early today?"

Li Yan? You are Li Yan, the eldest son of the old Li family in the backyard, right? I haven't seen you for a month, and it's changed a lot.

The third master looked at the big bag of things in Li Yan's hand and came again: "Your father said that you graduated last month, but you have to help at school for a month." You haven't been back for a month."

"This is the big bag of small bags today? Is school busy? ”

"That's right, things are done, and the work is arranged."

Li Yan said to Yan Bugui with a smile

"Third master, I won't talk to you much today, I will invite you to drink when I have time in the future, I will go home first, and then talk Li Yan is afraid that Yan Bugui will turn over his bag."

Yan Bugui nodded again and again: "Okay, you hurry up and go home and take a look, your family hasn't seen you for a month, and your sister missed you a few days ago." ”

The third master, Yan Bugui, looked at Li Yan's background and thought about something, and muttered in his mouth: "Eh, the life of the old Li family is going to get better......

Li Yan didn't care what Yan Bugui was thinking, he hadn't been home for a month, and he missed his family and that ghostly and cute sister Li Xiang.

Li Yan walked straight to the courtyard with his bag, and when he passed by the middle courtyard, he found that there was no one in the courtyard now.

Come to think of it, it's three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun hasn't set yet, it's so hot, and the old people and children in the yard don't want to come out to play now.

And the adults in the family are at work, and they are busy going out, and it is estimated that there will be people at five or six o'clock.

At that time, every family should prepare dinner, and at that time, they were basically off work.

Thinking of this, Li Yan also walked quickly across the middle courtyard and walked towards his home in the backyard.

When he came to the backyard, he turned right, and this was the home that haunted him.

There are two families living on the left side of the backyard, which is the home of a deaf old lady, and the other is Xu Damao's house.

On the right is Li Yan's house, and there is a family with two rooms side by side with the original owner's house, and no one has been assigned to live in it for the time being.

Li Yan's house now has two rooms, one is slightly larger, about 30 square meters, and the other is slightly smaller, about 25 square meters.

Li Yan plans to go to the street office to find someone to apply for and arrange to live in this courtyard when he is free, so that there will be four rooms in total.

At that time, this row will be your own home, and if you find someone to decorate and design it, you will be able to live more comfortably, and you don't have to crowd the whole family of five people into two houses like now.

Moreover, Li Yan was a southerner in his previous life, and now he has integrated the memory of the original owner, and knows that going to the toilet in this courtyard is a public toilet for the whole yard together, and there is also the problem of bathing.

Li Yan is unwilling to do this, Li Yan plans to wait for the house to be allocated and he will all decorate it together, but when it is time to isolate the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet.

In this way, you can live more comfortably, and you don't have to queue up hundreds of people to go to the toilet tomorrow morning, otherwise you really can't accept it.

There is also a row of back hood houses in the backyard, and there are four houses where two families live, one is a veteran, and the other is in a normal situation. The family consists of six.

In a few steps, Li Yan walked to the door of the house, exhaled, and opened the door directly and walked in.

When the door was opened, the room added up to a total of about fifty square meters, divided into two rooms, and the one on the left was built with a kang, which was lived by Li Yan and his younger brother Li Hong.

The one on the right is where Li's father, Li's mother, and little sister live, and the middle one is used for living, living, dining and kitchen.

The room is surrounded by mottled and dilapidated walls, plastered with newspapers used for decoration, and there are many cobwebs in the corners.

There are kettles and enamel jars on the table, and the styles and patterns are relatively old-fashioned.

At the table sat a man and a woman, in their forties, with a somewhat pale face and a thin appearance.

Men's clothes are washed white, but there are no patches, and women's clothes have a lot of patches.

This is Father and Mother Li. In this era, just after the three-year famine, the people of the whole country are basically a little malnourished, so Li Yanjia is no exception.

As for clothes, everyone is issued cloth tickets according to the amount every month, and they pay attention to sewing for three years and making up for three years, and sewing and mending for another three years.

After the eldest wears it, he changes it to the second child, and every family comes over like this. Li Yan is the boss, so basically Li Hong's clothes are changed from clothes that Li Yan can't wear.

As for the little sister, because the age difference is relatively large, it is done alone.

As for why Li's father's clothes are not patched, it is because Li's father is a teacher, and if the clothes are sewn and mended in school, the impact is not good.

Considering this, Li's father's clothes are not sewn, but the family is in this condition, so it is not much better. Li's father had two days of clothes that he hadn't sewn and wore to class.

The others were also sewn, and of course, the clothes that were not sewn were also washed and white.

Seeing Li Yan open the door and come in, Li Yan was stunned for a moment, looked Li Yan up and down with concern, and found that he was fine, so he put his heart down and pretended not to care, and asked:

"Coming back? I heard you ask someone to come back and say that you are going to be busy, how is the work after graduation? ”

As for the brand-new clothes Li Yan was wearing, Father Li didn't care.

However, the concern hidden in Li's father's eyes couldn't hide it from Li Yan.

As for Mother Li, she walked up to Li Yan, patted his arm lightly and said:

"You have no conscience, you haven't come back for so long, we are all worried to death, and your little sister is still clamoring for me to take her to school to find you.

I didn't take her with me for fear of delaying your business, and so did you rabbit cub, she hasn't been back for a month, what's going on with this new dress, and what's this bag?

You're not going to do anything bad, are you? ”

Hearing Mother Li's words, Father Li also looked at Li Yan. Waiting for him to answer. Hearing the words of Li's father and mother and the concern in his eyes, Li Yan knew that his family was worried about him.

It was just because I was afraid that it would affect him, so I couldn't hold back and didn't go to him.

Hearing this, Li Yan smiled and took Li's mother's hand and sat down, and said to them:

"What bad things I can do, you don't know who I am. I bought this dress because I was going to go through the job today.

As for the money, I saved more than a dozen yuan myself, you know, I helped at school, and the teacher also gave me twenty, as for the bag in my hand, it was sent out in the factory.

And today a leader took me into the job and gave me a month's salary advance, by the way, what about my little sister? Why didn't I see her, I wanted to kill her. ”

Li Yan replied to Li's father and mother that as for the money, it was a white lie he said, otherwise he would not be able to explain the source of the money on his body.

Li Yan's father and mother also believed in Li Yan's words, and Li Yan also planned to let the people in the courtyard know through Li's mother, as for whether they believed each other or not. Or there is the one who doesn't open his eyes to check.

Oh, even if you ask Li Huaide where he is going, Li Huaide will help him lie.

Hearing Li Yan's words, Mother Li and Father Li nodded and didn't say anything, they still believed Li Yan very much.

Just a little worried said:

"Wouldn't it be bad to trouble the leader as soon as you get to work, and will it have a bad impact on you? As for the little girl sleeping, she is tired of playing.

Do you want to wake her up and know that he will die of joy when you come back, by the way, where are you assigned? Onboarding today? ”

"Well, it's past noon today, and I'll be back after the entry procedures are completed, and I'll be assigned to the rolling mill. Because tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are weekends, and the day after tomorrow is on Monday.

As for the girl's choice not to wake her up, I'll go buy some food, and we'll have a good meal tonight to celebrate. I'll call the girl up when I come back from grocery shopping. ”

I was assigned to the security department, and speaking of this, Li Yan pulled his shirt up a little to reveal the gun belt with the Colt Python revolver. ”

Then he said to Mother Li:

"Mom, you can help me clean up the things sent out in the factory, and put the work clothes in my room. You can take the other bills and things at home, and I still have them on me. ”

After speaking, Li Yan thought that the bag still contained fifty rounds of ammunition for the Colt Python, and then he moved the bullets to his personal space.

"This, hearing Li Yan's answer, Mother Li and Mother Li glanced at each other, feeling that they hadn't seen each other for a month, and their son seemed to have grown up, sensible, and a little stranger."

They are not people who don't understand anything, and Father Li is still a teacher, but he knows how difficult it is to enter the security department.

After all, the security department is a department with real power, guarding the security of the unit, and they know how difficult it is to enter.

In this era, the security department of that unit was almost the same, and only veterans could enter. Otherwise, he went in only after taking over the post or recommending it, but his son went in quietly and took all the guns back.

These years are no strangers to guns, and the militia has even used them during training, but the meaning of using them is not the same as that of their own representatives.

It seems that their son has grown up and has his own secrets and ways, but they are also happy for their son.

Having a good job in this year means that life will be better, and it will be easier to marry a daughter-in-law than others, of course, they are also worried about this eldest son, after all, this era is not so safe in the future.

There are cows, horses, snakes, and gods from all walks of life, and there is still a certain danger.

Seeing the worry in his parents' eyes, Li Yan hurriedly said:

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, it's not as chaotic as before, and our security department patrols and checks the posts together.

Besides, the guy in my hand is not a burning stick, you can rest assured, by the way, I am now an eighth-level security guard, with a monthly salary of 37.5 Our family's life will definitely be better in the future. ”

Hearing Li Yan's words, Li's father and Li mother immediately calmed down, and what Li Yan said was not wrong.

Well? Thirty-seven pieces of five? So much?

Mother Li, who reacted, hurriedly asked. After all, Li's father has worked for so long, and his salary is only twenty-seven yuan and five, why is his son just going to work?

"Yes, I graduated from high school and was considered an intellectual, and then my teacher helped me write a letter of recommendation.

In addition, talking to the leader about the leader values me after all, and I will also work under him in the future.

With these reasons, I went in and got the salary of an eighth-level security guard."

Hearing Li Yan's words, Li's father and Li mother didn't say anything, and after the conversation just now, they knew that their son had grown up and had his own ideas.

Since this is the case, just let him decide for himself, and make his son unhappy if he says too much.

Thinking of this, Mother Li got up and picked up the bag beside Li Yan to clean it up, and asked by the way:

"Then you go grocery shopping, otherwise it's too late to wait, come back early, and the girl will see you when she gets up.

I'm sure she's going to be happy, and I'm going to get you the money and tickets. ”

"No need Mom, I have it on me, you just need to pack your things."

After speaking, without waiting for Mother Li's answer, she said to Father Li, who was drinking tea on the table next to him:

"Dad, I'm going grocery shopping. I'll have a good chat when I come back for dinner tonight. And he went out the door......
