My 1979

Old Man Zhu said, "The so-called cannibalism is short-tongued and soft-handed. We have always eaten and drank from you. This time I will help you once. If you are not afraid of spending money, leave the decoration to me and I will arrange it for you. An open space.”

Old Yutou said, "I'll help you go to Liulichang to look for the furniture inside."

Li He joked, "Okay, then I will be the hands-off shopkeeper."

People at the table started clinking glasses again, with a attitude of not finishing until they drank to death, and continued drinking until late at night.

The next day, Li He got up with a dizzy head. Two big yellow dogs were sniffing around his feet. Li He was bored and couldn't kick them away.

I picked up the hot water bottle and shook it. It was empty. I couldn't find a glass of water to drink.

There was no one left in the family. He Fang and Fu Xia moved away, and the old men went to look at the house.

Li He walked to the empty kitchen and stood in front of the pot stove. His sleeves were rolled up above his forearms, revealing his strong arms. He placed his hands on both sides of the pot.

He stared at the empty pot with an extremely serious expression for a long time, and found that there was really no way to start.

It's not that he can't, but he's used to it. Everything is prepared for him. As the saying goes, he can open his mouth when food comes and stretch out his hands when clothes come.

Half an hour later...

He decided to drink well water

Get up in the morning.

After Li He brushed his teeth, he scooped up all the leftover food on the stove and gave it to the two dogs.

The two dogs sniffed and sniffed, but did not move.

Li He scolded angrily, "Starve to death, you bastard. Pull me down."

After leaving the house, I was going to buy a set of pancakes and fruits at the corner of the street.

When He Fang was here, she always got up early to cook some millet porridge, steamed steamed buns, steamed buns, and fried two salted duck eggs. Paired with pickled mustard bought from the grocery store, it's a comfortable and nutritious meal.

Later, He Fang left, and Old Man Li spent the morning at the breakfast stall.

There is a stall at the corner of the street. The stall owner has been setting up here for several years. At first, he sold fried cakes and fried cakes. Later, the stall owner married a Tianjin wife, set up a pancake next to his oil pan, and started selling pancakes. fruit.

Pancake fruit is more expensive, twice as expensive as fried cakes and jujube cakes.

There were quite a few people lined up in front of the stall, and after Li He, a few more people lined up.

When it was Li He's turn, the stall owner skillfully greased a hot pan with a little oil, poured in the mung bean batter, and quickly rotated the pan to evenly distribute the batter on the surface of the pan.

Then beat in an egg, spread it out with a spatula, and spread it flat on the batter. Sprinkle minced coriander, minced chives, and black sesame seeds on the surface of the egg liquid. When the surface of the egg liquid solidifies, turn it over and brush the other side with a brush. of sauce, add crispy ones.

He lifted up the four corners, like folding a quilt, and made a pancake into a square shape. He rolled it up and handed it to Li He: "2 cents and 5 cents."

Li He took the hot pancake fruit, took out a big dough stick and handed it over.

The stall owner looked at him in embarrassment, and then looked at the small box for collecting money at the stall. There were some scattered notes in it, and the largest denomination was only 1 yuan - not long after he left the stall, there was not much. What about income.

"Hey, brother, hurry up. I'm in a hurry to get to work." Someone from behind began to urge.

"Hey, you go ahead. I'll figure it out for you later. Give it to me tomorrow."

Li He looked back and saw a young man who seemed to have seen him somewhere before, "Thank you. If you don't wait for me, I will go back and get it for you."

The young man smiled and said, "You forgot, we met at the post office. I didn't expect that you also live here."

Li He stepped aside and let the young man line up. He also remembered where he had seen them before. They were the brother and sister who bought monkey tickets at the Chaoyang Post Office. "Oh, I remembered. Brother, it turned out to be you."

The young man paid for two pancakes in a hurry. Seeing that Li He was still waiting, he pointed to the intersection in front and said, "Brother, I'm still in a hurry to go to work. My family lives next to the big locust tree. Give me some time." That’s it.”

Li He said, "Okay, I won't be polite to you about a few cents. I'll wait for you to get off work in the afternoon and send it to you."

Li He himself is not short of money, but he can't think that others don't care about money. An ordinary worker may not be able to earn one yuan a day.

"Okay, it's up to you. I'll get off work at about 6 o'clock, so I'll leave first." After saying that, without waiting for Li He to answer, he rode the bicycle next to him and left in a hurry.

On both sides of the alley, the old ladies from the neighborhood committee began to post anti-theft reminders.

The New Year is approaching, and thieves and gangsters who can't celebrate the New Year are getting anxious. On New Year's Day, they are out in force.

Even the financial room of the nearby machinery factory was looted.

"Miaozi, you are more beautiful than the agents!"

As soon as Li He turned the corner, he saw several boys talking around a girl.

It made me smile knowingly. This compliment was a beauty I learned from movies. In movies, the most beautiful woman is a spy. Only spies have the materials to wear their American military uniforms and have convex and concave lines all over their bodies, while female revolutionaries are all flat...

Li He suddenly remembered another sentence: If you have any humanity at all, you must borrow it from Huang Shiren, but he can't remember the lines from which movie.

He was being silly and happy here, but this angered the young man next to him, and he cursed, "Where did you come from, let's just go and play."

Li He didn't bother to argue with these naughty kids. In order to show off in front of girls, he had to step on other people's faces. He just said lightly, "Keep your mouth clean. You are young and don't learn well."

When the three young men saw that Li He dared to protest, they glanced at the girls next to them and surrounded Li He. "Who do you think you are? Who dares not to give me face in this area?"

Li He was helpless, even if he bought pancakes and fruit, he would encounter naughty children.

"Get out of the way, I don't want to be acquainted with you."

A boy lit a cigarette coolly, spread his legs, pointed at his crotch, and said, "Come on, grandson, go over here and I won't beat you."

Li He said, "If you make trouble again, I will call the police."

After listening to Li He's words, several people laughed.

"Haha? You dare to stab your Master Jiu, right?" After hearing Li He's words, the young man not only was not frightened, but became even more arrogant, staring and said, "You guys are just just Come to the capital, you bumpkins! Don’t even ask me, who in our area dares not to give me Jin Jiuye face!"

Li He sneered, "I don't care who you are, and I don't want to know who you are! I just know that a good dog will stay out of the way. No more nonsense, just get out of here! Besides, for a person as big as you, your hair is not fully grown." , if you dare to call me grandpa, you are very proud, right? Don’t you think it’s embarrassing?”

Several people were furious after hearing this. They rolled up their sleeves and took two steps forward. Just as they were about to greet Li He, they were suddenly kicked to the ground by another group of people and screamed.

The four people who rushed in didn't care about anything and hit the three young people with their fists and feet. The girl next to them who had been smiling all the time was frightened.

Then he ran away without asking.

"Okay, stop fighting, that's almost enough." Li He said to the thin monkey who suddenly came over.

Skinny Monkey said, "These bastards have itchy skin. They don't even know their last names if they don't loosen their skin."

The young man, who was starting to feel proud, had a nosebleed. He crawled to Li He and said, "Brother, I know I'm wrong. You can go around me. I'll accept it."

Li He said nothing, turned around and left. Shouhou and his gang saw Li He leaving and immediately followed him.

When he got home, Li He said, "Which of you can boil water? Please boil some water for me. The kitchen is over there."

Skinny Monkey kicked a young man next to him and said, "Pingsong, hurry up. I don't have any good eyesight. I usually help your mother with work at home. I still need to teach you this job."

"Hey, I'll go now. I'll be ready soon." The young man named Pingsong went to the kitchen in a panic.

"The thermoses are in the kitchen," Li He shouted toward the kitchen.

Shouhou handed a notebook to Li He and said, "Brother, take a look, it's for this month."

Li He was eating pancakes and put the notebook on the table casually without looking through it. He knew the number of accounts in his heart every month. Most of them actually looked at the accounts, which was just for show.
