Recently, Chen Huiying, who is mainly responsible for cooking, is a little troubled, and the time when the family comes back is too inconsistent.

The first to come back were Haoran and Zhou Xiaoying.

I got home at about four or five o'clock.

Lao Li usually waits until six o'clock in the evening.

The second child is usually like this at six o'clock, and the daughter-in-law Zhu Xiuhua may be about half an hour late.

And the most headache for her is the fourth Li Duoyu, who has no fixed time at all.

Sometimes, I come back at four or five o'clock.

Sometimes, seven or eight o'clock is still outside.

Just like today, it's past seven o'clock, and the person is still outside, like this cold day, when he comes back to eat, he doesn't know how many times it has been hot.

In order to let the family eat hot meals and hot dishes, Chen Huiying decided not to stir-fry.

During this time, I bought barrel bones and pork ribs every day, put some dried squid, dried razor clams and dried shiitake mushrooms, boiled a large pot of bone broth, and put some fish balls in it.

Then I asked someone to go to the town, bought a lot of dried butter noodles and came back, and ate them directly with bone broth.

In this way, no matter what time the family comes back, open the pot, and there will be hot soup to drink.

The only bad thing is that the little chubby dun at home seems to have gained several pounds during this time, and his belly is as round as a ball.

It just so happens that Li Duoyu also likes to eat butter noodles, soaked in bone broth boiled with various dried goods, plus a large fish ball.

The taste is truly amazing.

It may also be the reason why pork is more delicious now, every time I go home to eat noodle soup, Li Duoyu can always show off three bowls of it.

Li Duoyu, who was full of food and drink, came to the courtyard, and wanted to take two steps to eliminate food, but he didn't think that it was very cold at night, so he took two breaths into his palm, rubbed his palm, and ran back to the house.

And after everyone finished eating, they either hid in the quilt early to do some needlework, or sat around the stove to keep warm.

Almost all the old people in the village wore cotton jackets, and many of them carried fire baskets made of bamboo strips.

Inside the basket was burning coals, covered with a thick layer of soot.

In this way, the charcoal burns very slowly, and the soot also locks in the heat, and the old man holds it in his hand like a hand warmer.

It's even colder than usual this year.

Li Duoyu suddenly became a little worried.

If the cold air continues, some elderly people in the village who are not in good condition will probably be reluctant to spend money on thicker quilts.

And Li Duoyu is most afraid that they will burn charcoal in the room, people in this era, where will they know what carbon monoxide poisoning is, and many people will leave because of this.

Before becoming the village director, Li Duoyu would not think about this problem at all.

Since he is in this position, he has to do practical things for the villagers, otherwise he will become a person who occupies the pit and does not like the Wang brothers in his previous life.

Although it is impossible to bring everyone to get rich and well-off together, it is not much of a problem to care for the elderly in the village and send them warmth.

……

……

That night, after Li Duoyu finished wiping his body, he got into the quilt early, and directly used his body to warm up Zhou Xiaoying, who was a little cold in his hands and feet.

The next day.

After Li Duoyu woke up early in the morning, he originally planned to finish breakfast and go to the eel breeding factory to see the eel fry.

Unexpectedly, the uncle and aunt came to their house early in the morning, still carrying some gifts in their hands.

The uncle greeted: "Duoyu, have you eaten breakfast?" ”

The eldest aunt was speechless: "You really don't have eyesight, and your fish teeth haven't been brushed yet, how can you have breakfast." ”

Li Duoyu, whose mouth was full of toothpaste foam, rinsed his saliva: "Uncle, aunt, came to my house so early, did you come to find my father, he has already gone out." ”

"No, it's not looking for your father, the two of us are here to find you."

"Looking for me?" Li Duoyu wondered.

The eldest aunt handed the gift to Li Duoyu's hand, and said: "This is the Muscovy duck from Nanri Town, and there are some sea duck eggs, and the ducks have been killed." ”

Nanri Town?

Li Duoyu suddenly realized.

I have already guessed why the uncle and the aunt came to him.

Uncle said with a smile: "Duoyu, now that the oysters have been harvested and the kelp seedlings have been sandwiched, didn't you say before that the other party would pay two thousand four, so you can return the boat to them?" ”

"That's right, it's two thousand four."

Uncle looked helpless: "Here's the thing, your aunt's brother-in-law also borrowed the money to buy the boat, and he originally relied on fishing boats to make money, but now the boat is detained by you, and he can't borrow money for a while." ”

Seeing the uncle's embarrassed look, the other party wouldn't be trying to repay the debt, although he was very talkative, there were some things that were his bottom line.

Li Duoyu frowned and said, "Uncle, what do you mean?" ”

Seeing that Li Duoyu was a little angry, Li Niantian hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm not here to complain, we will definitely collect the money, but it will not work in another way......"

Seeing Li Niantian going around, the eldest aunt on the side said disgustedly: "Let you bring a word, why is it so troublesome, and you won't talk about the key points for a long time." ”

The eldest aunt said with a smile: "Duoyu, don't worry, what about this money, my sister's family will definitely pay for it, speaking of which, their family is also very grateful to you, and did not let my nephew be sentenced to a heavy sentence, it just so happens that my sister has an imported color TV at home, and I plan to use it to offset part of the compensation, you see if it will work." ”

Li Duoyu was stunned: "Color TV, what brand?" ”

The eldest aunt was embarrassed: "I don't know what brand, but my brother-in-law said that it cost more than 2,000 yuan to buy this color TV the year before last, and it was moved to my house yesterday, do you want to go over and have a look." ”

In fact, when he heard the color TV, Li Duoyu's heart was already happy, but he pretended to be calm.

Before, he had planned to buy a color TV, and if he made money, he didn't know how to enjoy it, so there was no point in making more money.

Zhou Xiaoying also likes to watch TV, but because of her status as a teacher, she is embarrassed to go to other people's homes with a group of students to watch TV.

However, due to the shipment, it was temporarily cut off.

Now it's a little troublesome to buy a TV, not only for tickets, but also for foreign exchange coupons.

So the matter of buying a TV,It's been dragged on like this,I didn't think that someone would take the initiative to send a color TV to the door。

"Okay, then I'll take a look."

After coming to the uncle's house, I thought I would meet Liu Yun's parents here.

But because it was too embarrassing, after Liu Yun's parents moved the color TV here yesterday, they hurried back to Nanri Town, and they didn't even dare to say hello to acquaintances.

And Li Shuguang and them have already tossed the color TV.

The TV is 18 inches,In this era,The size of this color TV is already very large,The size of many domestic black and white TVs is only about 14/16 inches。

After seeing Li Duoyu coming, Li Shuguang couldn't help but sigh and said: "If I didn't have no money, I would have liked to buy this color TV." ”

Li Duoyu smiled: "If you want, you can, I can sell you this color TV." ”

The corners of Li Shuguang's mouth twitched, and before he started to talk about the price, Li Duoyu already regarded this color TV as his own.

"Hurry up and buy this color TV, when the time comes, I will use a loudspeaker to shout the whole village, let everyone come to your house to watch TV, so that my house will be clean."

Li Duoyu said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will get a video recorder again, and those who come to my house to watch movies will have to pay for it." ”

"Damn, you're too picky."

"It's called business acumen."

Li Duoyu looked at this color TV, but he didn't think it was still Toshiba's.

Li Duoyu then patted the TV, and found that it was quite stable, and there was no snowflake screen, so it seems that there should be no big problem with the picture tube.

"How's it going?"

The eldest aunt asked, "Can't it be worth two thousand?" ”

Li Duoyu shook his head and said: "I really can't drive two thousand, I also came here with the goods at the beginning, the purchase price of this color TV is only one thousand five, and it was only sold for about two thousand five in Shangfeng Town back then, this model, at least more than two years old, I drove one thousand seven is already very high." ”

Uncle sighed with emotion: "What Duoyu said is right, one thousand seven is one thousand seven, hurry up and drive the boat back, if you catch shrimp well, maybe you will make money back at the end of the year." ”

Followed by.

The uncle took out a cloth bag and poured out a lot of money from it, and in addition to the great unity, there were also a lot of one-yuan bills.

It depends on the situation, the eldest aunt's relative, this money is not easy to raise.
