Chapter 19: Dangerous Work
"Brother Huan, there are big fish today."
Li Huan's eyes lit up when he heard this, big fish, that means that the three people behind him have a great appetite and can eat a lot of goods, but thinking about today's day, he basically understands.
The autumn harvest is about to begin, whether it is the supply and marketing cooperatives, grain stations, or vegetable markets, the regular way of rice, flour, grain, oil and pork and other good things are almost all snapped up, so the afternoon and evening are the good times for the black market to open.
"Go ahead."
In half an hour, the three of them emptied the entire West House of grain, oil, rice and noodles, especially pork, and there was not a single left, Li Huan secretly said that he was fortunate to keep some of it first, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to make up the bride price.
A wad of money entered Li Huan's hand, Li Huan counted it, then took out 20% of the money and handed it to the thin monkey, and took out two bags of rice noodles and two pork from the east house, making the thin monkey happy, and followed Brother Huan to eat.
"During this time, we rest, because after the autumn harvest, every household will share the grain, so we mainly collect fine grain, you take the money, if you have fine grain, you will collect it, and wait until the New Year to make a big one."
"Okay, Brother Huan, then I'll go first."
The thin monkey took the money and left, Li Huan checked it carefully, and then pushed the bicycle, locked the door, and rode to Xiangyang Village non-stop.
He went home first, and as soon as he pushed the bicycle into the yard, Li Le ran out happily: "Second brother, you really want to marry Cheng Qiao as your daughter-in-law." ”
"yes, don't you like her?"
"Second brother, I like her a lot, it's very comfortable to look at it white, and it's also a good match for you, but I'm worried that she doesn't like me and our family."
"Well, our family is indeed a little broken, and when we marry Cheng Qiao, we will apply for the land behind us, and build a new house when the time comes, and tear down and rebuild it here."
"Second brother, do you want to break up?"
When Li Le heard Li Huan's words, he couldn't help but get anxious, the eldest brother is not married, and she is not married, if the second brother separates, it will be difficult for him to say that his mother-in-law's family will be difficult in the future.
"This depends on Cheng Qiao, if she insists on splitting up, then divide it, anyway, it's in the back, it's convenient to say hello."
"Second brother, you are really ......"
"Is it okay to marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, no way, when you find someone you like, you will also think about him, but I will definitely not treat my mother badly."
"Li Huan, why are you back, don't you accompany your daughter-in-law in the hospital."
Mother Li heard the voice and walked out, just when she heard Li Huan's last words, she showed a satisfied smile on her face, it should be like this, Li Huan's father also said the same thing at the beginning, but unfortunately the old man went too early, leaving her alone and always thinking silently at night.
"Mother, these two bags are filled with rice and white noodles, you keep half of it for us to eat at home, and half for Cheng Qiao as a dowry, you cook a braised pork here tonight to eat, I think Li Le is starting to crave meat."
"Whoever is hungry for meat, you are hungry for meat."
Li Le muttered with a red face while untying the rope, but he was very happy in his heart, tonight there is not only rice to eat, but also braised pork to eat.
"Are you in a hurry, if you are not in a hurry, my mother will go get some dumplings, and you will take them to the hospital for Cheng Qiao to eat."
"Don't worry, mother, I still have to send this meat to the educated youth, they asked me to buy it, and I want to go to Chen's house to see if there is any trouble."
"Go ahead, don't quarrel with anyone."
As soon as Li's mother's words fell, Li Huan had already carried two pieces of meat in the direction of Zhiqing Point, walking on the country road, and there were golden crops fluttering in the wind everywhere, which looked quite spectacular.
"Qian Longkun, open the door."
There was a lot of chatter in the educated youth spot, and Li Huan could hear the sound inside when he stood outside, but when Li Huan called the door, it suddenly became quiet inside.
Xu Laidi's face turned pale with fright, just now she said a lot of bad things about Cheng Qiao and the second-rate son, and she was secretly saying that the second-rate son and Cheng Qiao must have already had a hand, otherwise how could she save Cheng Qiao so coincidentally.
Of course, Han Chunmei wanted to refute, but she couldn't say that she could talk to Brother Xu Lai, but she was sarcastically said a few words by Brother Xu Lai, which was nothing more than that the clothes she took off were put on Han Chunmei, so she spoke to others.
Han Chunmei's face turned crimson, but Zhang Yuefang was angry, opened her mouth, and made Xu Laidi speechless in a few words, Xiaofang glanced at Xu Laidi, stepped forward to comfort Han Chunmei, and said that Xu Laidi couldn't eat grapes, so he said that grapes were sour.
Just when Li Huan knocked on the door, Jiang Guangrong shook his head and went to open the door, women are so troublesome, but it seems that the trouble now is Brother Xu Lai, if they don't know this person, the world is peaceful.
"Second-rate, no, Li Huan, you bought meat."
Jiang Guangrong saw the two pieces of meat in Li Huan's hand at a glance, and happily stretched out his hand to pick it up, but Li Huan gave him one, and the money and tickets they gave to buy a piece of meat were not enough, so he had to make up the money.
Qian Longkun also ran out when he heard the word meat, looked at the meat in Li Huan's hand, and asked with a smile how much money he had to make up, Li Huan shook his head, saying that Cheng Qiao had already given them money, and he didn't know how much it was.
Oh, it turned out that Li Huan was just a delivery person, the two exchanged a few words, and then separated, Han Chunmei hurriedly took the meat and loudly announced that they were going to make braised pork to eat tonight, and all the fine grains would be taken out.
The arrogance of the intellectuals just now was suddenly extinguished by the three words of braised pork, and everyone moved in a hurry, except for Xu Laidi and Chai Jianmin, of course.
"Dian Chang, can I owe it first, and pay it back to you after the autumn harvest."
Chai Jianmin found Jiang Guangrong and asked in a low voice, Jiang Guangrong shook his head: "I can't make a decision alone, I have to agree with everyone." ”
Of course, the result is not to agree, just such a pork belly that is less than two catties, and it is only a dozen pieces when cut into pieces, but it can be seen that in addition to Chai Jianmin, there are also Jiang Guangrong, Qian Longkun and Zhao Xiaobao.
In addition to Xu Laidi and Cheng Qiao, there are also Han Chunmei, Zhang Yuefang, Xiaofang, Xiaoqin and Xiaoping, a pair of sisters, a total of five people, and although Cheng Qiao is not there, they also paid money and tickets, and her share still has to be kept.
In this way, it is already very good for everyone to be able to eat two pieces of braised pork, how can you add two more people to divide their braised pork.
Xu Laidi and Chai Jianmin were so angry that their eyes were about to roll white, but there was no one and no one in the entire Zhiqing Point and the two of them, even Zhao Xiaobao hurried to wash his face and brush his teeth, and waited for the braised pork to eat.
Li Huan walked into the house of the village chief Chen Weidang with the remaining piece of meat, and the village chief's daughter-in-law immediately sank when she saw that it was a second-rate child.
But when she saw the fat white pork belly in Li Huan's hand, she wanted to give him a good look again, and for a while, her expression was a little too much, and she was extremely embarrassed.
"Auntie, I didn't buy meat today, I asked a friend to keep it for me, come, take it."
