My 1979

"I'm nine years old and you don't even know."

Li He gestured at Lao Wu's height with his hands. Lao Wu had grown a lot taller. "Why are you alone at home? They are alone."

"Third sister-in-law is going to have a baby again, and Aniang and the others are all gone."

Li He knocked the old man on the head and said, "Then the pregnancy is only more than four months, how can it be said to be giving birth to a baby?"

Lao Wu took Li He's bag into the house and started to dig through it. When he found the smallest leather boots, he happily put them on without even caring about the food inside. "Brother, what's the size?" Just right."

"You're so stinky, how do you know it's yours and not for anyone else?"

Lao Wu was unhappy when he heard this, "I'm not a kid anymore. Don't lie to me anymore. I'm already in the second grade."

"What is the school like?" Li He asked.

"What's it like? Just playing with a bunch of little kids every day." Lao Wu replied.

"You are still a little brat yourself, why are you talking about others? How many exams did you take at the end of the semester?"

When Li He asked about the test results, Lao Wu pretended to have lost his memory and said, "I don't remember. I will show it to you when I find the score book."

Li He felt that Lao Wu's slickness already had one or two shades of Li Zhaokun.

I heard that Li He was back, and Li Mei also came over from her husband's house at noon, and she even brought a fish.

Li Mei has obviously gained a lot of weight, and her face is smiling widely. It is obvious that she is living a good life.

Li He asked, "Let me take a look before the child is brought over. I haven't seen my uncle yet."

"It's been a bit stormy these days, so I didn't dare to take it out. I'll wait a few days. I'm still waiting for you to give me a name."

Li He smiled and said, "Brother-in-law can't be happy, let him do it."

When his brother-in-law called out, Li He always felt that it was not so unnatural, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.

"He is just a rough guy. He can come up with any good names. You are the only educated person in our family. If you can't afford it, who can name it? Li Pei's name has already been named, so we can't afford it."

The name Li Pei was given to Li Long's children by Li He after digging through the dictionary. Naming was actually a laborious task and had nothing to do with academic qualifications.

"Okay, I'll think of one for you."

Li He smoked a cigarette and sighed again. When he grew up, it was no longer fun. He still hoped that his eldest sister would still be as casual as before.

But Li He knew that this was impossible. After brothers and sisters got married and started their own businesses, they would inexplicably develop something called respect.

The affection between brothers and sisters has not diminished, but they care about each other's face when speaking to each other, and are not as casual as before. Li He went to the kitchen and handed Li Mei three thousand yuan while no one was around. "Take this, I'll give it to the child. I didn't bring him anything when I came back."

Li Mei is a strong person. She didn't take a penny of the family's money before, and gave it all to Li Long and Wang Yulan. Li He knew that the eldest sister's life was not spacious, and now that she had one more child, it was not easy.

Li Mei was startled, "Where did you get so much money? I can't take it, just save some for yourself. Don't worry about the third child, he is such an adult and has hands and feet."

Li He directly stuffed it into Li Mei's pocket, "Didn't Li Long say in the telegram that my brother-in-law wants to build a fish pond? You can send it later and just take care of me. If we talk too much, we will end up in trouble. I'm with my friend here We have a small business together over there. The policy has been open in the past two years and the money has been easy to make. You don’t have to worry about my affairs."

Li Mei said, "That's what I borrowed. It saves your brother-in-law from borrowing money everywhere. He just messes around and insists on building a fish pond. Do you think this is good? You see, since we divided the land, the four of us have The land has been left uncultivated in the depressions, and life is not much better than before, but he is not satisfied."

"Is there a nod in the brigade?"

"Your brother-in-law found some newspaper somewhere, saying that a man named Chen from the south did this, and the government praised him. The brigade couldn't stand your brother-in-law's annoyance, so they just nodded."

Many things in Li He's memory have deviated from the direction. For example, Yang Xuewen contracted the fish pond so early. However, contracting fish ponds has already been done by many people in the South in the early 1980s, and the Committee of Agriculture began to fully promote it in 1982.

Li He said, "There is nothing wrong with the policy. Why not do it boldly? There is no need to worry about selling."

When Wang Yulan came back with a bunch of pork, she said as she walked in, "Look at how wide this fat is."

Li He glanced at the fat meat in Wang Yulan's hand, frowned, and said, "Mom, I also want to eat some pickled pork belly. How can I trim it if it's so fat?"

Wang Yulan said: "You are stupid, lean meat has no oil, this fat is better, it has more oil."

Li He knew he couldn't defeat him, so he took out 10 yuan and said to the old man who was hanging clothes in the yard, "Go, go to Fatty Chen's place to cut some more meat, just tell me what I want, he knows what kind of meat to cut, and these money Bought them all”

The fourth child hung up his clothes and ran out quickly.

In the yard, Li Pei was already walking staggeringly step by step, and he was already looking somewhat good.

Li He went over to hug him, but the child felt strange when he saw Li He. He stared at him in bewilderment for a while, then got into Li Long's arms and started crying.

Li Long quickly picked him up and said, "My uncle doesn't even recognize this bear thing."

After all, Li Long was a father, and he already had some stability. The land for seven people in his family was managed well, and he looked like a seasoned farmer. He was sowing and raising seedlings in a sound way.

The fourth child came back with a bunch of pork belly and a few ribs strung with hemp ropes. He ignored Wang Yulan's blank eyes and put them directly on the stove.

The fourth child returned the 10 yuan to Li He, "The fat man said he wouldn't take the money anymore. He also said that you were back and would treat you to a meal."

Li He said, "Just keep it and make pocket money."

"Really?" Wang Yulan, who lives on campus, usually gives her a stingy one or two yuan, and she has never been rich. Seeing Lao Wu coming this way, he immediately put it in his pocket.

But it was still too late. The fifth child had sharp eyes. When he saw that the fourth child had money to take, he immediately stopped working. "Brother, you are biased. Why did you give the fourth child money and not me?"

Li He directly gave Lao Wu an idea, "You call me Lao Si too? Why do you think you should give money to your fourth sister? If you can take the first place in the exam, I will give you whatever you want. Let's go and have fun."

Lao Wu said angrily, "She bullies me every day."

The fourth child grabbed the fifth child by the ear and said, "You are heartless, who will cook your meals every day, wash your clothes, and help you with your homework."

"Brother, look, she bullied me again and pinched my ears."

"Let's go and play, few people will go crazy." Li He pushed the fifth child and asked the fourth child, "Can you pass the high school entrance examination?"

The fourth child said solemnly, "I excelled in school, united my classmates, was kind-hearted, studied hard, and was united and friendly. As long as the teacher asked me to recite the texts, I could memorize them by heart. I was polite and civilized, and everyone praised me as a good person. child."
