Chapter 520: The Man of the Li Family
Courtyard house, Li family.
Silly Zhu has been busy since early in the morning.
Yesterday, he saw Zhang Xiuzhen go to the vegetable market to buy a lot of vegetables, and asked casually, it turned out that the old lady was going to celebrate her birthday.
Without saying a word, he took a day off to help out and take charge of the spoon.
The three mothers saw the stupid pillar's attentive appearance in the courtyard, and secretly snorted, probably because they couldn't get used to seeing the stupid pillar rushing to the Li family.
Since her second son was 'sent' to the farm for transformation, she has hated the Li family.
But the Li family is powerful, and seeing that Li Weidong, who came from the countryside, is climbing higher and higher, even if she has all kinds of hatred, she can only hold back.
Even when I see the old lady of the Li family, I have to accompany a smiling face.
Although she didn't dare to do anything to the Li family, Silly Zhu was not taken seriously by her, and even in her opinion, Silly Zhu was Li Weidong's dog.
Silly Zhu naturally doesn't know this, but even if he knows, I'm afraid he won't care, he has never paid much attention to other people's ideas, and it seems a little stupid, but he knows an idiom: great wisdom is foolish.
He felt like he was.
What happened to the Li family?
At least when he has something, Li Weidong is willing to pull him along, and he will never let him work in vain.
Why does he like to invite Li Weidong to dinner and drink?
Not only does I think Li Weidong is a buddy, but the key is that people can be people, and every time I go to him, I don't go empty-handed, carrying wine and food.
If you change the three masters and change the others, it is estimated that it is not enough to bring only one mouth, and I hate to take two more when I can't leave.
Silly Zhu asked himself, no matter how generous he is, once or twice is enough, and every time he does this, he really beats him locally?
In those years, the landlord's family did not have much surplus food.
As for Qin Huairu's family, that's another matter, Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer.
Even if others call him stupid, he enjoys it.
As long as you don't feel wronged.
Therefore, in the whole courtyard, he is really willing to make friends, and it is Li Weidong.
Now that the old lady of the Li family is over her birthday, can he help?
As for those who speak ill of things behind their backs, in his opinion, it is clearly envy and jealousy.
How could he have taken these gossips to heart?
It's Zhang Xiuzhen, who is a little reluctant to see Silly Zhu busy working there, it was originally a family banquet, and there were not many people, she herself and Yang Fangfang, who asked for leave, and rushed from the countryside to the second child's house early in the morning, it was enough.
But in the end, I still didn't beat the stupid pillar.
But after Zhou Xiaobai came, Zhang Xiuzhen fell on her future daughter-in-law.
At this moment, in the north room that Li Weidong had just cleaned up, several women were talking, and the center of the topic was naturally Zhou Xiaobai.
After this experience, Yang Fangfang's temperament has changed, the two thick braids have long disappeared, replaced by neat short hair, and the whole person looks much more energetic, almost unable to see the appearance of the country girl before.
For Yang Fangfang, going to the farm to become a female prison guard can be described as a turning point in her life.
So she also worked extra hard, worked diligently when she went to work, and seized the opportunity to learn after work.
Although she is Li Weidong's sister-in-law and Zhou Xiaobai's sister-in-law, she never shows off this identity on the farm, but works harder, for fear of bringing a bad influence to Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaobai.
However, Zhou Xiaobai didn't think about it so much, and often communicated with Yang Fangfang when she had something, because Li Weidong told her before that she couldn't do without her own people on the women's farm, and Yang Fangfang and Li Zhankui's daughter-in-law Zhang Ruolan could use it.
Zhou Xiaobai is just simple, and he is not really stupid, so he will naturally maintain this relationship.
But today, being watched by Li Weidong's grandmother, mother, second aunt, and these elders, she was really a little panicked.
Even though she'd been here once before, it wouldn't be the same as it was now.
Now, she is Li Weidong's girlfriend.
It was even more unsettling than her first day as an instructor.
It's a pity that Li Weidong is not around, she can only look at Yang Fangfang for help, after all, the people in the house, she is most familiar with Yang Fangfang.
And in the outer living room, it was the man of the Li family.
Li Shuqun, Li Shuquan, Li Weidong, and Li Weimin.
At this time, although Li Shuqun sat on the main seat, he no longer put on the shelf of the head of the family, and in the past few months of 'training' in the countryside, he was obviously much more mature than before.
In the past, in the newspaper, although he was the director of the office of a certain department, to be honest, he really didn't have much power.
There are so many people in a newspaper in total, and the two slaps in the department can't be counted, the relationship is more and more chaotic, and the work is relatively rigorous.
But in the countryside, although he was only the head of the radio station, his power was much greater than before.
Today's commune is equivalent to the township of the future.
He, the head of the radio station, was the head of the propaganda section in the future.
Nowadays, propaganda is attached, and every village and brigade has a broadcaster to cooperate with the radio station to do a good job in propaganda work.
Although he was tired in the countryside and often had to run to the brigade below, Li Shuqun regained his long-lost passion.
In addition, his identity is not a secret in the society, everyone knows that he has a son named Li Weidong, who won a first-class merit before, so Li Shuqun belongs to the meritorious family, even if everyone still doesn't know that Li Weidong became the deputy captain, but the meritorious family alone has allowed Li Shuqun to gain a firm foothold in the society.
Although there are also intrigues, unlike in the newspaper office before, some cadres in the countryside slap the table and scold their mothers at every turn, and the captains of some brigades dare to block the door with their covers.
However, in comparison, the following battle is more simple, unlike in the newspaper office, where there are seven or eight hearts and eyes in the stomach, and the literati are dirty, which is really dirty.
When Li Shuqun went to the brigade to guide the work, some village cadres dared to scold in front of their noses, but when they looked back, they should apologize and apologize, and any problems were basically on the surface.
Therefore, after almost half a year of work, Li Shuqun has changed a lot from the inside out.
looked at Li Weidong's gaze, which was also different from before, and he no longer bothered about the head of the family.
And Li Weimin, this will shrink in a corner, neither moving forward, nor hiding in the house.
Although Li Shuqun went to the countryside, after adapting to it and adding the rights in his hands, he enjoyed it.
But Li Weimin is different, he used to be at home, he didn't do anything, he went outside to mess around when he was full of food and drink, and what he heard in his ears was mostly praise.
At home, although he didn't dare to talk back to Lao Tzu, he faced Yang Fangfang and scolded him at every turn.
At that time, he could be described as chic and proud.
Even if he doesn't have a job, he is not in a hurry at all, and he doesn't mind people talking about him as a street slicker, but is secretly proud.
But now, although he has a formal job, I don't know how many people envy him, but he himself doesn't like it at all.
On the farm, first of all, he is strictly controlled, although he is not like those prisoners who work every day when they open their eyes, and there is no freedom, but because someone specially told him, he is not idle at all.
It's not that he hasn't been lazy and has lost his temper, but after being locked up in a small black room for less than half a day, his whole person has completely collapsed, and since then, no matter what he is arranged to do, he will be obedient and obedient.
Moreover, other workers can choose to go home freely after work, but he can't, he must stay on the farm honestly, and is not allowed to leave the farm without a valid reason, which is equivalent to imprisonment in disguise.
He was able to go home this time because Li Weidong said hello, anyway, it was impossible for him to remember the old lady's birthday.
After going through so many tribulations, he will also learn to be obedient, know who can be provoked and who can't, and his courage is obviously much smaller than at the beginning.
On this occasion today, he actually didn't want to stay here at all, because the four men of the Li family didn't have his part in speaking at all, so they could only be honest shadows.
In comparison, Li Weidong didn't say much today, and only acted as a listener.
Li Shuquan looked at it secretly, and his heart was clear.
Talking and talking, the topic fell on Li Weidong again.
Before Li Weidong thought, on the old lady's birthday, Li Shuqun and Li Shu were all there, and invited Zhou Xiaobai's parents by the way, and the two families got together to be regarded as an official meeting.
But in the end, he was rejected by Li Shuqun.
This time, Li Shuqun rarely grasped the posture of being Lao Tzu, and said: This is a bit disrespectful to Zhou Xiaobai's parents, after all, it is the first time that the two families have officially met, and it stands to reason that the man should go to the woman's house.
Either the man books a restaurant outside and invites the woman's family to a banquet, which is a serious attitude.
What is it to invite the woman's parents to the house on the old lady's birthday?
Looking down on others?
And there is no such reason.
So the meeting between the two families was postponed until the day after tomorrow, that is, the weekend.
At that time, Li Shuqun will also rush back from the countryside, and the two will go to the hotel, which can be regarded as an official meeting to discuss the marriage of Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaobai.
This attitude is better than when Li Weimin got married, I don't know how many times.
And the reason why Li Shuqun is reluctant to go to Zhou Xiaobai's house is probably that he also has some 'inferiority' feelings.
Unlike when he went to Yang Fangfang's house to discuss marriage, at that time, Li Shuqun was not less careful.
However, in the face of the Zhou family, he couldn't pick it up even if he wanted to.
On the other hand, the East House where Li Weidong originally lived will become a paradise for three children.
It's rare for the old lady to have a birthday, and the three little ones all took a day off.
The main reason is that the primary school curriculum is relatively simple, there are no messy tutoring classes, even if you take a few days off, you don't have to worry about not being able to keep up.
Even after the end of the farming season, the schools in the countryside will be closed and the children will go home to help with the work.
In contrast, students are more free.
Li Weiguo looked at the clean East House, his face full of envy.
Although the room is not as big as his house, the ground is flat and clean, the walls are white, the beams are not visible overhead, and most importantly, there is a thatched house.
In order to go to the thatched house, Li Weiguo poured water into his stomach.
It's just that Li Xueru was a little unhappy, and corrected Li Weiguo that it can't be called a thatched house, it should be called a bathroom.
Anyway, she heard Li Weidong say this before, so she secretly remembered it.
In fact, in the first few days after moving in, she was not much better than Li Weiguo, although this place was much smaller than the north house she lived in before, Li Xueru was more willing to live here.
Even if Beiwu has cleaned it up now, she doesn't have the slightest envy, she knows very well that Beiwu's house is reserved for her second brother to get married.
Li Xueru, who is a small ghost, knows very well that if you want to eat delicious food, you can only rely on the second brother.
The eldest brother is useless anyway, he has never given her a good face since she was a child, and even used to scare her often, so she didn't have a good impression of the eldest brother, and when the eldest brother broke his leg, she gloated for a long time.
As for the third brother, he usually has delicious food, and he will only rob her.
So counting and counting, it's still the best second brother.
It's that sometimes she will be trained, but in order to be able to eat delicious food, she doesn't care so much.
"Brother Zhuzi, I'm sorry for you today."
Li Weidong talked with him in the house, then walked out, and saw that Silly Zhu was busy stir-frying, so he stepped forward to talk.
"Hey, what kind of busy work is this, it's much easier than being in the factory."
Silly Zhu said without mind.
He often helped Deputy Director Li to build a small canteen in the factory, but the factory director rarely bothered him, and he would not easily invite guests in the small canteen in the factory.
"How about Qin Jingru? When to drink wedding wine? ”
Li Weidong asked again.
Yes, Qin Jingru.
Now Silly Zhu has completely broken up with Yu Li, because Jia Zhang's family is secretly playing ghosts, which makes Yu Li's parents have a bad impression of Silly Zhu, and they do not allow their daughter to associate with Silly Zhu anymore.
After all, Yu Li is a serious city person, in the eyes of his parents, the stupid pillar is old, not to mention ugly, the daughter herself used to be willing, as long as the stupid pillar is honest and good to her daughter, they also admit it.
But after Jia Zhang's ghost, they had a bad impression of the stupid pillar, and they would rather forcibly break it up than have their daughter jump into the fire pit.
In this way, after the stupid pillar came to the door several times to no avail, coupled with Qin Jingru's instigation of Jia Zhang's family, he took the initiative to attack several times, and he completely took down the stupid pillar.
Last time, Silly Zhu found Li Weidong and told him about the matter, and asked Li Weidong's opinion by the way.
Although from Li Weidong's point of view, Yu Li is more suitable, this girl is more shrewd, and after marrying Silly Zhu, she can at least support the family.
But at that time, Li Weidong sensed the emotions of the stupid pillar, this guy was shaken first, and although he and Qin Jingru had not broken through the last step, they definitely hooked up.
In order to stay in the city, Qin Jingru was obviously able to go out, and the stupid pillar was drugged because of an accident before, and she took advantage of it more or less at that time, once she put down her face and took the initiative, it would be strange that the stupid pillar could withstand it as an older bachelor.
Therefore, at that time, Silly Zhu was obviously asking Li Weidong's opinion, but in fact, he already had a tendency in his heart.
Besides, Qin Jingru is a big girl with yellow flowers, and she is also good-looking, except for the rural household registration, the rest of the aspects are not bad.
After knowing Silly Zhu's tendency, Li Weidong didn't persuade him to continue chasing Yu Li.
This is the fate of the stupid pillar.
Although Li Weidong also treats Silly Zhu as a buddy, he is unwilling to interfere more in the other party's emotional problems.
And Qin Jingru is not bad at housework, cooking or the like.
Waiting for the silly pillar is enough.
Although Jia Zhang's instigated Qin Jingru not to be well-intentioned, Qin Jingru is not really stupid, and after marrying Silly Zhu, his mind will naturally be on his own small family.
Therefore, there is nothing bad about Silly Zhu marrying Qin Jingru, in Li Weidong's opinion.
