"Yuanzi and Xiao'e are here?"

After the two knocked on the door and pushed the cart into the middle courtyard, Li's mother, who was drying diapers, said happily.

Blue cloth turbans, coarse cloth jackets, old cotton shoes, and deep wrinkles on their faces, but they can't hide their full love.

Li Yuan and Lou Xiao'e nodded together and smiled: "Mom, we're here." ”

The sister-in-law also came today, she was steaming her nest, she heard the movement and walked out, her figure was rare among women, and when she saw Li Yuan carrying so many things in the car, she said happily: "Boss, you have made a lot of good things!" Your five sisters-in-law are thanks to you, otherwise this month would have been really difficult! As she spoke, she lifted a bag of forty catties of white noodles with one hand, and Lou Xiao'e was stunned.

Li Yuan smiled while unloading his things: "Mom, you should be careful on such a cold day." Tomorrow, I'll buy some alabaster and carefully crack my hands. ”

Lou Xiao'e hurriedly rummaged through the bag and said, "I have it!" ”

She took out a pale yellow round box from her bag, and on the surface of the round box were two Shenghai women, wearing cheongsams and holding pipa, which looked very new.

The alabaster used by the average girl in Sijiucheng is not such a finished product, it is in bulk......

Although Mother Li didn't know it, she knew that it was a high-end product at a glance, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "How can I use this hand, Ezi, quickly put it away and wipe it yourself!" ”

Lou Xiao'e didn't listen, after opening it, she hooked her fingers, grabbed Li's mother's hand and began to apply it carefully.

The sister-in-law watched from the side and gave Li Yuan a look, meaning that this daughter-in-law is good.

Lou Xiao'e stuffed the alabaster into her hand in Li's mother's refusal, and said to her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, I'll bring you a box tomorrow." ”

The sister-in-law's voice was loud, and she laughed: "Okay, but I don't need to do this, I use loose scales, and I can wipe more at a time." You give it to me, and you buy it like that! ”

In the past, when the year was good, she bought it for her nieces and nephews at home, a few cents a can, which was not expensive.

Lou Xiao'e, a small jar of exquisite, can't be paid for five yuan......

Several sisters-in-law in the house were anxious inside and beckoned into the house to talk.

After entering the house, after Li Yuan said hello, he waited for the cool air on his body to dissipate, and hugged his little nephew one by one.

It's been more than half a month, and one by one the long pink carvings have been carved up.

Lou Xiao'e was even rarer, and she carefully held it in her arms.

Mother Li didn't know what she thought, so she suddenly turned her head to wipe her tears.

The sisters-in-law were also very unhappy, and the sister-in-law gently persuaded: "Yuanzi, don't delay the big matter of having a child because of the family." ”

The second sister-in-law is also strong, and said: "We are almost full moon, and we will go home after the confinement!" ”

Li Yuan hurriedly said: "We are ready to ask for it...... But sisters-in-law, don't rush back first, there is no pot at home, how can you fix it when you go back? Stay another month, until the end of the year. When you have raised it, the child will stand. ”

The boss made a speech after inspecting the big canteen in the suburbs of Beijing on Chinese New Year's Eve, although these words cannot be circulated in the newspaper now, and will not be known until later generations are declassified, but at least they have enough influence on the suburbs of Beijing, and the members can go home to cook!

When that time comes, I will go back.

But the sisters-in-law didn't agree, and they always felt that they were delaying the eldest child in the family.

In the end, Li Yuan persuaded Li's mother and sister-in-law to ensure that the pregnancy was successful as soon as possible, so that he could appease several sisters-in-law......

The word family is sometimes really wonderful.

A group of people who are obviously very poor and miserable, but they are very ambitious and think about each other.

This feeling is very affectionate......

……

"I really envy my family like this."

On the way home, the two slowly pedaled their bicycles, the night breeze was cold, Lou Xiao'e, who was wearing a scarf, liked this kind of night tour with her lover in a quiet environment, she said with a smile.

Li Yuan glanced at her and said in surprise: "I think your family is also very good." ”

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and said with a wry smile: "When I was young, I was fine, but when the eldest brother and second brother grew up, it was a little different." The point is that Dad still has a two-room little wife outside. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, because the new society did not allow it, it was sent away. ”

Li Yuan asked with concern: "Are there any children in the two rooms?" ”

Lou Xiao'e nodded and whispered, "I was sent to Shenghai by my father." ”

Li Yuan was "angry" and said: "I always thought that my father-in-law was pure, upright, and kind, and loyal to my mother-in-law!" How could he do that? Still raising a little wife? Oh my God, I can't imagine it!! ”

Lou Xiao'e was so shocked by his statement that she almost fell off the bike, she didn't expect Li Yuan's reaction to be so big, and after quickly holding the bicycle steady, she explained with a smile: "Yuanzi, dad is a man...... It's a man from the old days. ”

Li Yuan shook his head sadly and said, "We are all men who came over from that era......"

Lou Xiao'e stopped pedaling the bicycle, regretted what she had just told the truth, and said hurriedly: "Yuanzi, don't be angry with your father." At that time, the rich had their own wives. ”

That is, it is cold in winter, and there are no people on the road at this point, otherwise you have to catch two people and ask what they are doing.

Li Yuan also stopped, raised his head and sighed: "I originally took my father-in-law as the light on the road of life, and moved forward according to his life trajectory. It is hoped that in the future, there will be a happy family, husband and wife working together, a group of children, and a happy life. I never thought that rich people are like this...... But what you said may make sense, man, maybe it's like this? So why don't I have such thoughts at all? ”

The tension on Lou Xiao'e's face subsided a little when she heard this, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "Why? ”

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "First of all, you know, I can't be a man. Then it could be...... Because I don't have any money? ”

"Phew! Not really! ”

Lou Xiao'e said half-angrily: "You talk nonsense, those nurses in the hospital don't care if you have money or not!" ”

Li Yuan suddenly smiled gently, looked at Lou Xiao'e and said, "Then it must be because you ......"

Lou Xiao'e was just halfway through the surprise "oops" when she heard Li Yuan continue: "Because you haven't agreed yet!" If you agree, I'll be like my father-in-law, and I'll ask for two smaller rooms! ”

"Phew! Don't you think...... Don't run! ”

After spitting, he pushed the bicycle behind to catch up with Li Yuan, who jumped out first, and after riding on the bike, he giggled and chased forward.

……

Three days later, Li Yuan came to Qianmen Street at dusk.

However, he did not come alone, but took Lou Xiao'e with him, and he did not go to Xueru Silk Village, but to the Qianmen Tavern.

Even if he is planning something extraordinary, he doesn't want to make it selfish and invisible to people.

The business of the tavern is now quite bleak, not because of poor management, but because not only is the supply of cooked food and food scarce, but even the wine is not available......

In these days, wine also needs food.

However, Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu are both capable, and they have a lot of friends who can get food.

Seeing Li Yuan and Lou Xiao'e coming, Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu were very happy.

Xu Huizhen took Lou Xiao'e's hand and said happily: "Why are you here here?" Have you eaten? "It's all over the time!

Cai Quanwu was not smart, looked at Li Yuan and said helplessly: "We are just opening a tavern, and what we do is to eat and sell." You're still saving us a little bit of that? ”

He could see that Li Yuan deliberately picked the dinner later, afraid of eating their food.

Xu Huizhen also reacted and reproached: "This is definitely not Xiao'e's idea, it is Yuanzi's idea!" ”

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Isn't it becoming more and more difficult to buy grain, and no one is rich at the moment." Sister Huizhen, look at how prosperous your business was a while ago, isn't there no one now? ”

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes and said, "No matter what, can you still have a bite to eat?" As he spoke, he lowered his voice and asked, "Is there anything else to eat at home?" ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Xu Huizhen sighed and said in disgust: "I mean, is there any food at home?" ”

Li Yuan was startled, and then remembered that his good sister looked gentle and kind, but in fact she was also a bold and ruthless character.

secretly bought the ancestral courtyard house of Pian Erye, and funded Pian Erye to go to the Northeast.

It is much more convenient to get grain in the northeast, and the two of them actually started to buy and sell grain.

In these years, it is not a small sin to destroy the overall food plan!

Xu Huizhen even told him about food, and it seems that she really regards him as a friend......

Li Yuan whispered: "Sister Huizhen, it's all here, do you still have surplus food at home?" ”

Xu Huizhen said: "You don't care, just say if you want it!" ”

Li Yuan also gave a little bit of the bottom, and said happily: "I came with Ezi today to see if you and Brother Cai have any food to eat." It doesn't matter if you two are tight, Xiao Jingli and Xiao Jingping can't lack food. Earlier, I didn't think it was right. Making steel everywhere and eating in big canteens everywhere is not a long-term method. Therefore, there is a lot of grain stored in the cellar, and if your family is in short supply, I will give you some even. Hey, I didn't expect it, Sister Huizhen, you and Brother Cai also prepared some. ”

Xu Huizhen was pleasantly surprised when she heard this: "Really? ”

Li Yuan said seriously: "My family of thirty or forty people, if you don't make some preparations in advance, it will be troublesome if there is a food shortage." ”

Cai Quanwu laughed on the side, Xu Huizhen glanced at him, turned back to Lou Xiao'e and said, "Your brother Cai said that he felt that he was not an ordinary person at the first glance of Yuanzi. I think what he said is mysterious, why is he not an ordinary person? Although he looks better and has more ability, he is just like us ordinary people. Now that I have encountered something, I really am not an ordinary person. ”

Lou Xiao'e will also praise in return, she smiled: "Sister Huizhen, then Brother Cai is not an ordinary person!" ”

Li Yuan laughed on the side: "I will praise you and continue to praise, don't stop!" ”

"Yo! What do you say, why is the tavern so lively today? ”

Before they heard the smile, everyone looked back and saw Chen Xueru coming in with a smile on her face, still with wavy hair, red lips, and a satin cheongsam, like an urban beauty in the great sea.

Li Yuan seemed to have not seen him for a long time, and said happily: "Boss Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time." Look at your spring breeze, business is booming? ”

Chen Xueru glanced at him, but walked directly to Lou Xiao'e, and cried poorly: "Look at your family, you married such a rich lady who is as charming as a flower, and you also make fun of a poor trader like us." The common people are so poor that they can't even afford to eat, who will come to buy silk? Good sister, my sister is pointing at you to pull me! ”

Lou Xiao'e sneezed, the smell of perfume on Chen Xueru's body was not cheap, but it was still a little strong.

The other three all laughed, and Xu Huizhen scolded with a smile: "Sit down, you...... What are you doing here? ”

Chen Xueru naturally couldn't say that because she had waited for a certain bastard and waited for a day, there was no one, and she thought that he might come here, and she guessed correctly......

She smiled: "It's not that the business is too bad, and no two people come to the door all day long." If you are in a bad mood, come to your tavern for a drink or two to dispel your sorrows. Unexpectedly, Dr. Li and his family were also there. Isn't that a coincidence? Today I am the east, last time it was the host invited by Huizhen, and now it is time for me to invite you! Nest your neck, get some side dishes, and serve some good wine! ”

Li Yuan said strangely: "Aren't you pregnant?" ”

Negative emotions from Chen Xueru +666!

Lou Xiao'e reacted suddenly and said, "Yes, it seems that pregnant women can't drink." ”

“……”

Chen Xueru was speechless in her heart, greeted Li Yuan's ancestors, smiled, and sighed: "I didn't keep it...... If you don't talk about this, the more you talk about it, the more upset you become. It's a good time to drink to drown your sorrows! ”

She is a very smart person, and with deliberate flattery, it didn't take long for Lou Xiao'e to talk to her about everything.

Li Yuan and Cai Quanwu talked about some current affairs, and they seemed to be a little pessimistic, but they also thought that it was useless for a little person like them to think too much, so they simply didn't talk about it.

"Doctor Li, look at the way you sit, it's a little different from before. You're practicing the style, aren't you? ”

Cai Quanwu looked at Li Yuan and said with a smile.

Li Yuan was surprised and said, "You can see this?" ”

Chen Xueru, who was already eavesdropping with her ears pricked up next to her, turned her head and looked at Li Yuan's sitting......

Still so handsome and chic.

She wondered, "I didn't notice anything different." ”

Lou Xiao'e grinned and said, "It's not obvious now, it was obvious a while ago." I don't sit on a chair in the unit, I squat there, and I ride a horse up and down......"

"Poof!"

Chen Xueru didn't know what she thought, so she took a sip of tea and went away.

Xu Huizhen hated to drive this crazy woman away and lose the dead!

Cai Quanwu not only didn't see or hear it, but smiled at Li Yuan: "I used to carry a big man at the train station, ......" and specially explained to Lou Xiao'e: "It's to carry a hemp bag, because the coolie has to carry it with his neck crooked, so it is also called a nest neck." ”

Lou Xiao'e hurriedly squeezed out a smile and didn't know how to respond.

In her world, she has never been in contact with such people at the bottom of society.

Li Yuan smiled at her: "Those who support themselves are glorious." ”

Lou Xiao'e nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes!" ”

Chen Xueru almost laughed out loud on the side, and this girl came into contact...... It's easier.

Cai Quanwu continued: "Places like train stations and docks are mixed with dragons and snakes. I've also been to Jinmen, where it's more crowded. Once I saved someone who ran away from the rivers and lakes, he thanked me and taught me how to stand on a pile. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have so much strength. But I see, you're better than mine. ”

Chen Xueru gasped and said, "Nest neck, you can even carry a two-hundred-pound sack like a child, and Dr. Li's strength is greater than yours?" ”

Her eyes flashed: Good fellow!

Pan Donkey Deng Xiaoxian, how many things does Dr. Li have?
