My 1979

"Is grandma feeling better?" Li He went in to ask, but the old lady was covered in tubes and had her eyes closed, motionless and silent. Only her lips moved. She probably wanted to say something but couldn't.

Seeing the skinny and skinny grandma lying on the bed, I felt uncomfortable, even though the two of them didn't have much affection.

"Yesterday I could open my eyes and say a word, but now I'm silent. It depends on fate." My grandfather was sitting on the hospital bed next to him, with no expression on his face, as if he could accept everything calmly at any time.

Second uncle Wang Yuguo asked, "Erhe, you're here so late, haven't you had dinner yet?"

Li He said, "Don't be in a hurry."

Grandpa said, "Go and have something to eat. That's all your grandma is going to do. It'll only last for the past two days."

Xizi said, "Old cousin, I'll go with you. There's a night stall nearby."

Li He did not refuse. He stayed with his grandfather and two uncles in the ward for a few words, and then followed Xizi and others out of the ward. He couldn't be of much help here.

In addition to Li He, his two brothers, and Zhang Bing, there were also several of his old cousins, cousin-in-laws, and brothers-in-law who went to eat.

There were barbecue stalls on both sides of the road not far from the hospital. Most of them were husband-and-wife teams. The rows of plastic tables and chairs were full of people. Li He randomly found an empty spot in the stall and sat down.

When he went to order food, he only wanted some vegetables. Although he likes to eat meat, the meat on the skewers only cost 50 cents per skewer, and he wouldn't dare to eat it even to death!

He couldn't tell whether it was mutton or not!

"Eat more vegetables and less meat." He did not forget to warn him, but it was difficult to say that it was fake meat, and everyone would say that he was rare and strange.

"Beer?" Xizi asked.

Li He said with a smile, "I'm going to die drinking white wine in this damn weather. Let's get some cold beer. There are many of us, so let's move five or six boxes first."

He was sweating all over his body, and he took off his undershirt. Like all the men nearby, he was shirtless, and he did not shy away from the fact that there were women next to him.

Li Long came back after answering the phone and said, "Fourth and the others will be here later. Let's drink first."

"I came here in the middle of the night. They won't be working tomorrow." Li He poured a bottle of cold beer into his stomach before he felt better.

Li Long said, "There are about ten people in his purchasing station here. Where is his turn to work? He just needs to ensure that he is not drunk and can contact customers every day. He doesn't have to worry too much."

After saying that, he opened a bottle of beer himself and had a drink with Zhang Bing first.

Li He then asked, "Who else besides Lao Si?"

Li Long said, "Li Hui is here too."

"What is he doing in the provincial capital again?" Li He was puzzled.

Li Long said, "Both of his cars have been taken care of by the fourth child, and he is working for the fourth child."

After Li had a drink with Wang Jun, another old cousin next to him, he turned to Da Zhuang and asked, "Where's the fat man?"

"Are you talking about Chen Yongqiang?" The answer was Yin Zongke, one of Li He's cousin-in-laws. "The price of pigs is extremely high this year. The price of buying live pigs is four yuan. The price of meat, regardless of whether it is fat or thin, is at least seven yuan. Everyone says he is lucky. Caught up."

"Yes, our old sow has given birth to 16 babies in a litter this year. According to the current market price of six yuan, I can afford a little less." Xizi said with a smile.

Li He raised his cup and said to Yin Zongke, "Old cousin, let's go one by one and finish the drink."

He heard the old lady complain the day before yesterday that the price of meat had jumped to more than ten yuan per pound! Even more exaggerated than Northern Anhui!

This is the best time ever for a pig farmer!

It can be described as unprecedented!

Li Laoer didn't know the specific reason!

When Liu Laosi and Li Hui arrived, Li He and others had already finished at least three bottles.

Liu Laosi wanted to propose a toast to Li He, and Li He said, "Don't panic, just look at the empty wine bottle in front of me, and then pick up the glass."

"Then I'll drink three bottles first." Liu Laosi didn't care.

"Me too." Li Hui first opened three bottles for Liu Laosi, and then opened three bottles for himself.

Li He asked, "You two drove here, right? How can you drive when you drink?"

Liu Laosi said, "What are you talking about? I'll live in a room next to you. I'll take you to my place for a drink tomorrow."

Li He said, "I guess I don't have time. The old lady doesn't know what to do yet. But now you are so bold that you dare to stay up all night?"

Li Hui smiled and said, "How dare he have such courage? Look, even if he lives outside, he still has to call home to report later, otherwise he will definitely not be able to reap the benefits tomorrow."

"I can't be on the same level as her. Besides, my boy can't sleep if he can't see me all night. I have to make a phone call to comfort him." Liu Laosi laughed.

While chatting, everyone talked about business again. Li Hui said to Da Zhuang next to him, "Have you accepted the demolition of the old textile factory?"

Da Zhuang shook his head and said, "Where can there be such an easy job? Bricks and steel bars are sold for sale. It's not cost-effective even after considering the labor and expenses. The people inside are all in trouble. I don't have that much spare money to give away. Who would love it?" No matter who you are, I won’t do it.”

Li He asked curiously, "Are you engaged in demolition in the provincial capital now?"

"I'm trying to do it. Anyway, I have a lot of free time now and I can scrape together money. But I'm fed up with it. I took an order at the beginning of the year and just finished it last month. I'm still losing money. There's nothing going on in the provincial capital and it's a mess. It involves too much." Da Zhuang finished pouring the wine, put the empty bottle on the ground, and then continued, "They have people working in Pujiang. They said there is a lot of work there and the people are well-behaved, so I want to go there to try my luck."

"You kid, stop fussing. Just guard this one-third of the acre at home. The world is as dark as crows. Wherever is better?" In terms of seniority, Liu Laosi is Liu Dazhuang's uncle who has not been out of the fifth server. If In the past, he was worse than a dog, and he definitely couldn't talk to Da Zhuang in this tone, but things are different now. He now looks a bit like an elder to Da Zhuang.

"Take your time and don't be in a hurry. You can't even deal with connections and connections at home. How can it be better to go out than at home?" Li He didn't want him to go out. After all, with him here, he could help Li Long more.

In many things, Da Zhuang's mind is much clearer than Li Long's.

"Then let me take a look." Seeing that Li He was wrong, Da Zhuang was not so insistent.

After finishing the wine, Li Long paid and left.

There was nothing picky about it. Li He found a hotel nearby. Just after taking a shower and lying down, he heard a rapid knock on the door.

"Brother, grandma is gone." Li Long's voice came.

Li He got up in a hurry, half sober from the wine.

He opened the door and asked, "So soon?"

He found that Li Long was not the only one, but also Xizi and others.

Li Long nodded, "Yes."

"Wait for me when I get off, let's go together." Li He went back to the house to put on his clothes, and asked half-dressed, "Has the car ride home been arranged?"

The old man must take it home and park it for two days.
