Chapter 416:
The reason why the old man is looking at Li Yan's uncle.
That's also because, compared with the uncle's family, Li Yan's family and his second uncle's family have a much better life.
The situation of Li Yan's family naturally does not need to be described too much.
Even the situation in the second uncle's family is not very good.
But it also depends on who you compare yourself to.
If you compare it with the younger uncle, the situation in the second uncle's family is naturally much better.
After all, there is a second aunt at the second uncle's house who is helping.
But the uncle is different, the uncle lives alone with a child.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the old man will be moved by compassion and towards the uncle.
After all, they are all biological, and whoever has a difficult life, the old man will naturally help him.
But even with the help of the old man, the uncle's life is still a mess.
In the final analysis, it was the uncle who didn't listen to persuasion and didn't take the family's concerns to heart.
If Uncle is not good at gambling, then he will not be like this.
Therefore, gambling on this thing is really harmful.
To put it mildly, as long as anyone has anything to do with the "gambling" thing, the final result will definitely be a chicken feather, and there will be no good end.
These words are not Li Yan's casual nonsense.
Because from ancient times to the present, there are not a few people who have died because of "gambling".
The lessons of the past are there, so Li Yan swears so confidently.
Therefore, whether it is in this life or in the previous life, Li Yan is not a person who has nothing to do with gambling and drugs.
If you want to say that on weekdays, Uncle likes to smoke and drink, then forget it.
After all, there are few people who grew up in this era who don't smoke and drink.
For example, Li Yan, the old man, Li's father, Li Yan's two uncles, the family is not an old smoking gun.
But what should Li Yan's uncle say?
You say he gambles, but in normal times, he rarely gambles.
But you can't say he's bad at gambling, because he gambles every time he's drunk with a bunch of his fox friends.
Therefore, Li Yan didn't know how to evaluate his behavior.
And Li Yan also suspected that his uncle was tricked.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be like that.
Every time I go to gamble, I lose it all, and I owe a lot of debt.
And so on and so forth.
Can you not make Li Yan suspicious?
Although it is said that nine out of ten bets are lost, this is the immutable law.
But this is too much of a coincidence.
In addition, those who drank and gambled with my uncle were not serious people.
That's why Li Yan has this kind of doubt in his heart.
After all, when they gambled, there was no trustworthy person around the uncle to watch.
In addition, the uncle is also drunk, and he is completely no longer sober.
Therefore, only those present know what the specific situation is.
Anyway, the family knew about it, and it was already the next day.
At that time, the people in the family could only know how much money the uncle owed so-and-so.
For this reason, the people in the family are not less worried.
Knowing this kind of thing, the people in the family have not persuaded the uncle.
But I can't resist the uncle's disobedience!
Therefore, all those who should be persuaded were persuaded, but the uncle still refused to change his teachings.
There is no way for the people in the family not to be.
After all, the people in the family can't restrict the uncle's personal freedom because of this kind of thing.
You can't keep an eye on Uncle all the time.
After all, Uncle is not a child, and he is determined to do something, so it can't stop him.
Besides, when the country people get busy, they can't even take care of their own affairs.
So how could there be that mind to look at the uncle.
If only once or twice, it's okay to say.
But Uncle is like this every time, and the people in the family can't help it.
In addition, Li Yan's entire family is an honest person.
So it's also at a loss for this kind of thing that happens from time to time.
After all, you have to take the stolen goods to catch a thief.
If there is no evidence, Li Yan's family can't blame others, and if they want to blame, they can only blame Li Yan's uncle.
Who made him teach again and again, and he didn't increase his memory when he suffered losses.
In this way, things will always be over.
Even if you are dumb and eat yellow lotus, you can only swallow it yourself if you have bitterness.
However, Li Yan hasn't been back for a long time, so Li Yan doesn't know much about the current situation of the uncle.
In the past, it was Li Yan's fox friends who were still young and couldn't afford to mess with his uncle.
But now, the situation is different.
If this kind of thing happens when he comes back this time, then Li Yan will definitely not give up.
Because today's Li Yan is no longer the child he was at the beginning.
Today's Li Yan is very confident in speaking.
If this kind of thing happens again this time, then Li Yan will definitely help his uncle get justice with interest.
Li Yan is like this, he doesn't help his relatives.
It doesn't matter who is right or who is wrong, Li Yan is helping his own people.
………………………
While Li Yan was thinking about these things in his heart.
Time is also slowly passing.
Unconsciously, Li Yan's family was already walking on the road in the village.
It's winter.
At this time, there is no farm work to be done in the village.
Therefore, everyone got together in twos and threes to talk about the Li family and the Zhang family.
But it's also because the sun hasn't set yet.
In fact, the main purpose of everyone gathering here to chat is to bask in the sun.
Otherwise, on such a cold day, who doesn't nest at home to bake the fire, but runs here to blow the wind.
When he got closer, Li Yan took a clear look at who were the people who gathered together to bask in the sun and chat.
But before Li Yan could recognize the whole thing, his attention was completely attracted by everyone's clothes.
Because everyone was wearing clothes made of coarse cloth, and the clothes were densely patched with no patches, and they were washed white.
After seeing this scene, Li Yan was of course surprised.
Because in Li Yan's opinion, everyone's dress is too simple and simple.
Li Yan himself has crossed over, and in the era in which Li Yan lived, all walks of life could be described as a hundred flowers blooming.
Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about dressing.
At that time, everyone wore all kinds of clothes and colors.
Even when it was in Sijiu City, most of the time everyone wore work clothes in the factory, even if it was their own clothes, although they were not as good as the later generations, but at least they could be seen.
But now, even if everyone's clothes are washed very cleanly, it is not difficult to see that everyone's clothes are very old.
At a glance, people can know that the clothes must have been worn on their bodies for a long time.
In addition, most of the colors of the clothes on everyone's body are black, and there are very few other colors.
This is also different from the city.
That's why Li Yan was so surprised.
When he was in Sijiu City, when he saw everyone's clothes, Li Yan thought that no matter how difficult the days of this era were, it would be difficult to that extent.
It wasn't until now, after seeing everyone's clothes, that Li Yan knew that this was the life of the bottom.
Li Yan only now truly understands the true meaning of the new three years, the old three years, and the three years of sewing and mending.
This is something that Li Yan couldn't have imagined before.
When I was in Sijiu City before, although the supplies were also very tight.
But anyway, it is also the capital, so the life of Sijiu City is not comparable to other places.
Even life in the city is so difficult, not to mention that it is still in the countryside.
But think about it, it's also been three years of natural disasters in a row.
Now that the disaster has just passed, the whole country has not yet recovered from it.
So it's only reasonable that everyone's life is just a matter of course.
In his previous life, Li Yan had also heard the old man say how difficult life was for people in this era.
Some families are so poor that they only have a pair of pants, and whoever in the family wants to go out will wear them.
At that time, Li Yan had never experienced it, and he couldn't understand the sadness in it, so he just thought these were jokes.
It was only now, after coming to the countryside, that Li Yan had a deep understanding.
Now Li Yan knows that the words said by the old man in his previous life are not nonsense.
Because that's what they've been through.
The place where everyone gathered to chat was in the open space at the entrance of the village.
So this is also the only road to the village.
Therefore, when Li Yan's family came here, they met with everyone.
Among these people, some of them are still impressed.
Because in Li Yan's memory, there are their figures.
Although it is said to be a slight change from his memory, Li Yan can still be vaguely recognized.
But for some people, Li Yan has no impression.
In fact, it is understandable, after all, Li Yan has not been back for a long time.
So it's normal to not have an impression.
However, Li Yan is not familiar with it, it does not mean that others are not familiar with it.
For example, the two old men and Father Li.
The two old men have only been in the city for less than half a month.
Therefore, they are very familiar with the things in this village.
Including Li's father, too.
Because Father Li often comes back, he is no stranger to these people.
"Old man, are you back?"
"Uncle, come back for the New Year?"
"Grandpa Li Yan, didn't you go to the city? Why did you come back? ”
………………
After taking a photo and recognizing each other.
The villagers who gathered to chat also stopped talking and greeted the old man.
Of course, everyone greeted each other in dialects.
So the pronunciation is certainly not like this.
But that's what it means.
Li Yan also explained earlier that their family fled from the famine.
So if you really talk about it, except for the people of their own family, they are not related to the people of this village.
But despite this, the old man has also lived here for decades, and he can be regarded as integrated into this village.
Therefore, by now, everyone is also counted as having a family relationship.
Therefore, the village is divided into generations according to their age.
And because of his age, the old man is naturally divided into grandfathers.
It is also one of the most senior Naso people in the village.
Because of the different generations, the people who just greeted the old man have different names for the old man.
……………
"Isn't it going to be the New Year, so our family will come back for the New Year."
"I came back this morning, and I just came back here."
Hearing everyone's words, the old man smiled and patiently answered everyone's questions one by one.
As the old man talked with everyone, Father Li was also very eye-catching and took out a cigarette for everyone to walk.
Smoke is good smoke.
Father Li didn't do this to show off.
It's just a way to communicate with everyone.
It is also the most effective way to communicate.
As Father Li put the cigarette down, no matter what everyone thought in their hearts, on the surface, everyone showed a smile.
There is no other reason, because of Li's father's behavior, everyone is very useful and dignified.
Then, Li's father took the initiative to help the older people light cigarettes.
Seeing that Father Li took the initiative, of course everyone would not refuse his kindness.
With Father Li's operation, it came down.
All of a sudden, the scene became more and more lively.
When talking, it is basically the old man and Father Li who are talking.
During this period, the old man also introduced Li Yan's brothers and sisters.
Seeing this, under the leadership of Li Yan, the brothers and sisters also obediently greeted each other one by one.
It's a matter of politeness, and you can't afford to lose it.
But after that, Li Yan didn't say anything more.
Because they are too young, they don't have a chance to speak.
In fact, the old man's intention was to introduce Li Hong and Li Xiang to everyone.
Because the people in the village really don't have any impression of the two.
Although Li Yan hasn't been back for a long time, how to say it, Li Yan lived here when he was a child.
So everyone still has an impression, even if it is a lot of raw parts.
But I still remember it.
As for Mother Li, they naturally needless to say, of course everyone knows each other.
After chatting for a few minutes, the old man saw that everyone was holding a lot of things in their hands.
The old man knows that it is the right thing to go home and clean up the house first.
After all, if you want to catch up with the past, there will be more days in the future.
The old man looked at the chatting crowd and interrupted:
"We just came back and haven't arrived home yet, so we still have to go back first."
"After all, the children still have a lot of clothes in their hands, so we can't let them stand here and watch us chat, hahaha."
The old man said in the form of a joke.
The old man has lived for most of his life, so he naturally knows the truth that wealth does not leak out.
So he didn't have the slightest intention of showing off.
But no one is stupid.
Everyone present knew that when Li Yan's family came back for the New Year, they would definitely bring a lot of good things back.
But everyone had a tacit understanding and didn't ask.
Looking at the Li Yan family, one of the oldest replied:
"Of course, and you must be tired when you come back by car today, so let's take the children back to rest first."
Hearing this, the old man also nodded, and agreed to the person:
"Okay, then let's go back first, and wait for everyone to go over and sit together."
"Okay, we'll go later."
Seeing that everyone agreed, the old man took Li Yan and them to their home.
Looking at the back of Li Yan's family slowly walking away, he just talked to the master
