My 1979

The weather was still cold, but the eaves could not bear the weight of the ice pick. The ice pick fell from above and broke into several pieces, which shocked Li He.

He didn't have time to get angry with Li Zhaokun anymore, so he took a bamboo pole and knocked down the rows of ice picks under the eaves, making a snapping sound.

The children were running around, but he was really afraid of getting hurt.

"Old Pan, your house is being screwed too." Li He shouted at Pan Guangcai again. The two families are in a row, and the children often run to that side.

"I just wanted to do it." Pan Guangcai raised the shovel at the door and swept it from east to west without putting his hand down.

Wang Yulan had already packed her bag and put on her rubber shoes, and had just stepped out of the threshold. Li He shouted, "Wait a minute, I'll drive."

"The road is icy and it's difficult to drive. It's better to walk." Wang Yulan still left without looking back.

Li He went back to the house to change into a pair of sneakers and wanted to follow.

"You change your rubber shoes." He Fang followed the instructions and handed over Men Guaizi's rubber shoes.

"No, the rubber shoes will freeze your feet. There is snow on the road and you won't be able to walk on the mud. What's more, this section of the road is all cement." Li He went straight into He Fang's pocket.

"What are you doing?" He Fang was startled.

"Sister, give me some money, I don't have a dime." Li He took out a wad from He Fang's pocket and stuffed it into his coat pocket without counting it carefully.

After saying that, without waiting for He Fang's reply, he rushed outside and followed Wang Yulan.

When I arrived, I found that the fourth and fifth children were also following Wang Yulan.

"What are you two doing?"

The fourth child said, "Grandma is sick, so of course she has to go."

"Then let's get together." Li He couldn't argue with what he said.

The four of us were silent all the way. Halfway there, they met Lao Guatou, a five-guarantee farmer who was driving a cattle cart. He warmly greeted the four mothers to get on the flatbed cart.

But no one wants to go up there. It’s freezing and snowy, and it’s not much faster than walking. Moreover, people tend to freeze in the car, so it’s better to walk and move around to keep warm.

Nearly an hour later, when she arrived at the town hospital, Wang Yulan first bought milk at the store at the door, and was about to pick some fruits from the roadside stall when the fourth child said, "It's all wilted, so I won't want any more."

Li He also said, "Just go in and give me some money."

Only then did Wang Yulan give up.

Entering the ward, the musty smell inside is mixed with moisture.

"Auntie, cousin, and sister are here too." Wang Xi was the only one accompanying the old lady inside. He greeted them one by one and hurriedly took out a cigarette from his pocket.

"I won't smoke anymore. I just finished smoking at the door." Li He refused the cigarette Wang Xi handed him, then walked to his dazed grandma and asked, "Grandma, are you feeling better?"

"Okay, why did I delay you? I'm busy at home. I'm busy at home." The old lady didn't have many teeth, and her speech was leaky, so that her speech was unclear.

Wang Yulan said, "What are you busy with? Someone at home is busy."

After all, her two daughters-in-law are here. According to her opinion, she is going to retire this year, and the kitchen work will be left to her two daughters-in-law. This is the treatment a mother-in-law deserves.

"You're lucky." The old lady smiled, her eyes almost covered by wrinkles.

"I have to take care of the children every day, and I have endless worries." Wang Yulan took the towel and hot water bottle handed over by the fourth child, wiped the old lady's face, and asked, "Have you taken a shower these days?"

She smelled something bad.

Wang Xi said, "I originally asked Daju to wash it in a few days."

"Is your wife capable?" Wang Yulan sneered at her nephew's words.

"It won't be frozen." The fourth child helped Wang Yulan turn over and scrub the old lady.

"Let's go out." The old lady wanted to wipe herself. It's not good for them to be here.

He and Wang Xi arrived outside the hospital and each lit a cigarette.

Wang Xi asked, "Old cousin, when did you come back? I am also planning to give you a sheep."

He was grateful for the care taken by Li and his brothers, and would give him a sheep almost every year.

"The third child bought a lot of mutton this year. You don't need to give it away. You can keep it for your own family."

"I'll kill it and bring it to you. It's easy to clean up. The pot will taste delicious after being exposed to the wind for a few days. They are all goats. They have a strong smell. You will definitely like it." Wang Xi also knows Li He's taste. The mutton is not smelly. eat.

"Then you're welcome. Come to my place for dinner in the evening." Li He likes to eat mutton, but he rarely orders mutton when going out to restaurants and only eats it at home, because every time he goes to a restaurant, people will happily tell him that mutton is not good. Shame, I even gave him a tutorial on how to remove the mutton mutton!

In his mind, ten thousand grass-mud horses ran past and wasted everything!

This is what he eats!

I gave it to you and you still ate shit!

Even if I go out to eat mutton, I always go to a restaurant where I know someone, such as a restaurant in Helong or Shoushan.

"Okay." Wang Xi was very happy.

Li He asked, "Your grandma still lives with you?"

"You know Juzi's temper." The daughter-in-law and grandma couldn't get along, and Xizi was helpless. "Grandma doesn't want to live with me either. We both insist on living in our own old house."

"I remember you said you wanted to build a house the year before last, but you haven't done so yet?"

"My grandma didn't agree and said it would cost money."

"What's this called?"

Li He didn't have much affection for his grandma, but over the years, not only did he give her less money, but neither did Wang Yulan.

Even Li Long, Li Mei, and Laosi would give Qian'er more or less 800 yuan every year.

He had not carefully calculated how much it was, but if he had a rough estimate, it would be hundreds of thousands at least. As for where the money had gone, there was not even a nest for the old couple, but he actually knew it.

She just felt sorry for her son and filled the holes for him.

Wang Xi said, "Old cousin, don't worry, I have made money this year, and I will cover it sooner or later."

Li He shook his head and said, "Can you be your wife's master?"

"I will discuss it carefully with her." Xizi blushed heavily.

"Forget it." Li He said with a smile, "After the festival, you bring your wife to my house, and I will give you the money. I will pay for it, but it will be the same as before. Don't say that the money is mine."

Even if he takes money, he must do so in front of Xizi's wife, otherwise he will give it directly to Xizi, and the two couples will definitely be at odds over the money.

"I've taken money from you several times." Xizi felt really embarrassed this time. The old lady's money every time she got sick and was hospitalized and her daily living expenses were said to be his own filial piety. In fact, only he knew that these were all Li He's money.

"I'm the boss, what do I have to do with my burden?" Li He patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's it, you can only hold this money, no one else can touch it, and I can't even give you milk if you want it. .”

He returned to the ward again. Wang Yulan and Lao Si had already bathed the old lady and wiped her body.

Wang Yulan said to him, "You go back."

Li He said, "Together."

"If you don't come back, your aunt and the others can't be counted on." Wang Yulan was worried about her and didn't want to go back.

I can't count on my daughter-in-law, so I can only rely on my daughter. What's more, she is the only daughter in Lao Wang's family.
