My 1979

After He Fang and He Long drove away, only he and Dong Hao were left, and the two began to look for barbecue along the road.

Ten years ago, apart from the noisy scene of busy traffic, the most eye-catching thing on the street was probably the smoky mutton skewers barbecue stall.

However, since last year, the Office of the Comprehensive Urban Environment Improvement Committee, together with relatives and friends such as the Administration for Industry and Commerce, Municipal Health Bureau, Municipal Environmental Sanitation Administration, and Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, have jointly issued a notice to cancel open-air barbecues and fried foods. On the main streets of the city's eight districts, these stalls are almost extinct.

So, the two of them walked around the hospital in a big circle, but couldn't find the barbecue.

No luck, a fast food restaurant happened to be still open. The two of them ordered a large bowl of noodles. Seeing the people next to them drinking beer, Li He couldn't help but lick his lips.

"Boss, a box of beer." He shouted at the top of his lungs.

I can’t even remember the last time I drank.

"Boss." Dong Hao tried hard to dissuade him, otherwise the couple would quarrel over drinking, and he might be wrongfully accused, and then he would have no place to cry!

For the sake of the stability and unity of the Li family, he is now enduring his addiction to alcohol and cigarettes, and is determined not to drink or smoke in front of Mr. Li!

"It's okay." Li He opened the beer with chopsticks and threw a bottle to him first. "Let's drink it secretly and don't tell anyone."

"Then drink less?" Dong Hao could only follow suit.

"How is Zhang Bing doing in the property company?" Li He suddenly remembered this.

Zhang Bing had followed him for so many years, and the final arrangement he made was to give him the position of manager of a property company.

"It's very good. I just went to see it a few days ago." Dong Hao clinked glasses with Li He, finished the drink, and said with a smile, "I have a hundred or ten people under me, five to six."

Li He asked, "What about you, what are your plans?"

"I'll follow you for a few more years." Dong Hao usually fantasized about being as prosperous as Ding Shiping, Lan Shifang, and Zhang Bing, but when Li He suddenly asked for his opinion, he was a little at a loss for a while.

"Are you high school now?" Li He asked.

"It doesn't matter. It's a disease of wealth. It's no problem to leave a few people behind easily." Dong Hao was not willing to give in to his age.

Li He said, "You have been following me for a few years. You know my character well."

"Yes." Dong Hao thought for a while and said, "I plan to take my family over this year. The house you gave me is almost decorated."

"Since you are willing to stay here, I will make arrangements for you." If Dong Hao's health allows, Li He is willing to keep him for a few more years, but now Dong Hao is still taking medicine, and he will feel uncomfortable if he can't breathe. , so he thought of making arrangements for Dong Hao in advance.

"What about you?" Dong Hao still had his own doubts.

"No," Li He interrupted, "I'm more optimistic about Song Gu and Qiu Liang. Although they are not as popular as you and Zhang Bing, but after I have been with them for a while, they are almost inseparable."

Dong Hao said, "Then I will ask Qiu Liang to follow from tomorrow. I will take him for the first stage. Just keep Wu Weiqiang and Chen Pengfei at home."

"You see the arrangement, I have no objection."

"Boss Li, thank you for taking care of me over the years." Dong Hao stood up and raised his glass seriously.

"You're talking nonsense." Li He smiled and drank the wine in one gulp.

The two drank a case of beer and returned to the hospital.

In addition to a bed, the ward also had a sofa and a recliner, so the two of them slept together for the night.

The sun rose so high that it shone through the window and hit Li He's eyes, and he had to open his eyes.

He Fang handed her a bottle of mineral water, "I drank last night."

Li He smiled and said nothing.

"It smells like alcohol. Who are you trying to hide?" He Fang saw him finish drinking the water and handed him a towel. "Wipe your face and go home. Have a good sleep."

"It's okay. Are the children in school?" He stood up and stretched.

He Fang said, "I asked Qiu Liang to give it to me."

"Auntie, are you feeling better?" Li He asked the groggy old lady.

"It's not serious, you guys have done so many things." The old lady was obviously still complaining about being forced to the hospital last night.

"Your son-in-law is nervous about you. It's wrong to be so picky." He Fang handed her the peeled apple, "Eat one."

"I'm not afraid of delaying your work," the old lady sighed. "When you get old, you just have to hold back your servants. It's of no use at all."

Li He said, "How can people eat whole grains so smoothly? You, just rest in peace and recuperate, don't think so much."

However, no one expected that the old lady would be unable to get off the ground after recovering from such an illness.

After New Year's Day, heavy snow falls all over the sky.

"Is it snowing in Huma too?" the old lady asked her daughter while lying on the bed.

"It was a month ago." He Fang fed her porridge and wiped her mouth.

The old lady hesitated for a moment and said, "Daughter, I want to ask you a favor."

He Fang smiled and said, "When did we two become so familiar with each other?"

"You and your brother should discuss it and see who will send me back." The old lady's eyes were misty.

"Go back?" He Fang held back her nose, "Who will take care of you? Listen to me. If you really want to go back, let's wait until spring gets warmer and I will accompany you back to your hometown for a month or two."

"I can't just leave it outside like this," the old lady said with tears streaming down her face. "What if one day I don't pay attention and my eyes close like this? This is my uncle's house."

If you die at a girl's house, people will gossip about you.

"Are you thinking too much?" He Fang put down the bowl, wiped her tears, and said, "Mom, the doctor said you can be fine."

"I also have to go back and see your father. We are still alive and growing old together. We can't be sorry for him even if we are dead. Listen to me and send me back." The old lady choked with sincerity.

"You should lie down for a while first."

He Fang came out of the house and called her brother over.

The two families sat together.

Wu Chunyan was the first to say, "Can't I wait until spring? It's going to be very cold when I go back now, and the road is not easy to walk on."

He Fang shook her head, "The old lady is very determined now, I guess she can't change it."

He Long said, "How about I send it back."

"What about the business in the store?" Wu Chunyan asked. The end of the year is the peak season for business.

Li He originally wanted to say something, but after hearing these words, he said nothing.

He Fang shook Li He's hand and told him not to be angry.

"You only have money in your eyes, right?" He Long glared at Wu Chunyan.

Wu Chunyan looked at her eldest sister-in-law and uncle, remembering her last lesson, and finally suppressed her anger and stopped choking.

"I didn't say anything. It's like you've eaten gunpowder."

He Fang said, "Then you all should be busy. I will buy the tickets tomorrow and deliver them to you."

"I am a son." He Long burst into tears when he thought of his mother's condition.

"Then let's wait until the children have a holiday and go to the Northeast together to celebrate the New Year." Li He made the final decision.
