My 1979
Chapter 16 The Crying Watch in Summer
Early the next morning, Li Mei told Wang Yulan that she was going to the market this morning.
The street is getting more and more lively now. She bought good things on the street early, including shoe uppers, some homespun cloth, and a few cattail fans.
I bought another 2 yuan worth of fried rice dumplings for the little girl. Local mothers eat a lot of fried rice dumplings during confinement, and even relatives who visit the mother also send fried rice dumplings.
Of course, many people prefer to buy them as snacks for their children. A handful of rice dumplings can make children squirt all day long.
After Li Mei bought her things, she waited for Li and her brothers under the shade of the trees at the head of the bridge over the Hongshui River. I was waiting impatiently, and sometimes I stood up and looked towards the south road.
When the sun was high, Li He and the others drove the donkey cart back. When the donkey cart stopped at the entrance of the hotel, Li He got off the donkey cart and asked them to put away the cart behind them. He walked to Li Mei and said , "Sister, when did you come here? It's so hot. Why are you waiting here?"
Li Mei wiped the sweat beads on her forehead with a handkerchief, and said exactly what Li Zhaokun said, "Be careful yourself. Don't just go home in a daze and poke your face. It's so ugly."
Li He sighed inwardly. The variables in fate are really unpredictable. Anyway, he knew it in his heart. It seemed that the eel business was going to stop early, so he asked Da Zhuang and the others to pull the donkey cart under the shade of the tree, and said, "Master , I want to discuss something with you, I’m guessing, I’m going to start school soon, and I want to stop the eel business.”
Li Fucheng was stunned. He was earning real money every day. Why did he stop? He asked in confusion, "Chad?"
Li He said patiently, "Master, second uncle, third uncle. Although we are making a lot of money at this stage, we are all busy day and night, and we are almost tired. Master, you are getting older, uncle." The autumn harvest is coming soon, Da Zhuang, Long Zi is not married yet, it is not a big deal that he will become a little old man early if he continues like this.
The eels and loaches can only last until October at most, and they are all in the hole. It is impossible to catch many, and it is not worth a trip to the provincial capital. So I simply stopped while I was at home.
Look, this commune now collects a lot of eels, and some of them are raising prices, so it doesn’t make much sense to mix them up. "
Upon hearing this, several people felt that what Li He said was true. Not to mention walking so many miles without sleeping every day, the key point is that the thousand-pound floor cart is not easy to pull, even with a towel on his neck. The strangulation marks are not shallow. Over time, they become bruised and broken. Sometimes the skin is broken and painful due to sweat. If you don't take off your clothes carefully, a layer of skin will come off, and you can even scream and grin.
Moreover, it is indeed becoming increasingly difficult to collect the eels. The eel collectors on the other side of the bridge sometimes deliberately make mistakes and offer a purchase price of 1 cent or 2 cents to deliberately disgust people.
But Li Zhaoming is a little excited. Do you think he has no intention?
I was really happy to earn 10 yuan a day in the beginning, but as time went by and saw Li and his two brothers earning 600 or 700 yuan a day, no fool would care!
When other people in the commune began to collect eels and loaches, he was even more excited. If he hadn't been worried that this was his nephew and was afraid of looking ugly, he would have given up picking up the food alone.
Hearing Li He's words at this time, he could not hold himself back and said directly, "Er He, how about you think that your third uncle, Long Zi, and Da Zhuang, together with me, can form a partnership?"
How could Li He not know about Li Zhaoming's little thoughts, and he also wanted to help these two uncles. Since he didn't do it himself, there was no reason not to let him do it, and said, "Second uncle, I support you if you do it.
But Longzi won't let him get involved. Once I leave, he will have to rely on him to take care of the family, so he can't go far.
But I feel that it is really too tiring to go to the provincial capital. I will be busy with farming soon. How can Liu Chuanqi be willing to delay like this?
I would rather go to the county town for retail sales. A donkey cart can go back and forth in more than an hour. Although the income is less, it is safe. "
Li Fucheng banged the dry smoke pot and said, "In this idea, it is not a problem to stay like this every day. Entering the county seat is the most secure thing."
Brothers Li Zhaohui and Li Zhaoming also felt that this was what they wanted, and said, "That's it, let's make it a partnership between the three of us."
Liu Dazhuang did this because he wanted to follow Li He and his two brothers. If the two brothers stopped doing it, what else could he do? Besides, he was making a lot of money in private. He was thinking that the weather was getting colder. He built two large tile-roofed houses, then waved his hands and said, "I'm exhausted too. I want to rest, rest, and have a good sleep."
Several people who said this laughed.
Li Long has always listened to his brother. Although it is a pity that he has any opinions, his family has such a large amount of savings, so he is not dissatisfied.
When we go back, we don’t need to put the cart in front of the hotel. Since we don’t do it anymore, we don’t need it anymore, so we just hang it behind the donkey cart.
On the way, Li Mei, who had been silent, said, "Er He, are you really willing to give up?"
Li He said with a smile, "I'm leaving. I'm not worried about the third child going out alone to play. Besides, you can count on him to do all the heavy work at home. Don't let him go out."
Then he said to Dazhuang and Li Long, "I will go to study first and look for opportunities. If I encounter a suitable opportunity, I will take you to see the great capital of the motherland. Also, you two are not allowed to interact with those people I have told you. Anyone who comes and goes will be lucky to take care of the family."
Thinking about being able to go to the capital of the motherland, Da Zhuang and Li Long were extremely happy. No matter what Li He said, they nodded excitedly.
As soon as she got home, Li Mei wiped her face and arranged for cooking. After all, Li Fucheng, the third son, and Da Zhuang all had to eat here at noon.
Several men were sitting on the threshold wiping their sweat in the ventilated area. Li Fucheng asked Li Zhaokun, who was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, "When did you become a homeless person all day long? You are not even as good as a child."
Li Zhaokun was not that worried about his father. He knew in his heart that the worst he could do was to say a few words to him without dying. He said, "I'm not unlucky. Otherwise, I can respect you."
Li Zhaoming felt that his father was too meddlesome. You hadn't taken care of this boss since he was a child. What's the use of using hindsight now? He said, "Brother, you are lucky. You and his brothers are so competitive." I have already passed the examination and passed the college entrance examination. No matter when you set up the table, the house will always be lively and lively. The children are also filial and have to wait for you to come back. "
When talking about the banquet, Li Zhaokun smiled happily and started walking around in the morning. No one called him a second-rate person anymore. He heard more good things in this short time than he had in his whole life.
It's just that your second son is going to be a city dweller and eat commercial food. These words from the first college student in Li Zhuang made Li Zhaokun coax him to quickly prepare a banquet and hand out wedding candies. Li Zhaokun was so happy that he started thinking about planning the banquet.
Talking from east to west, Li Zhaokun got involved in collecting eels. Li He knew that the important point was coming, but he could not involve his grandfather and two uncles.
He quickly interrupted the conversation and said, "Dad, I was telling grandpa that I will start school soon and don't care about doing it. Just come back and let you do it from now on. The third child and I should have a good rest." Well, look at my shoulder, which has just been scratched, and the scar is not healed yet. Look at the dark circles under the third child’s eyes, it’s too much to bear.”
Li Zhaokun was a little annoyed. It was rare that he wanted to organize a banquet for his son just now, but now he was entertaining himself and said, "There are so many people, where do I need to go?"
Li He said, "My grandpa is getting old and he will no longer be able to bear it. Second uncle and third uncle, the production team will have a lot of work soon. Otherwise, where will the food be distributed during the autumn harvest?"
Li Zhaokun said, "I will do it to whomever I want."
According to Li He's original idea, if Li Zhaokun refused to give up, he would throw away all the resentment he had accumulated and prepare to take the opportunity to explode regardless of whether the old man Li Fucheng was present or not.
This time Li Zhaokun didn't accept the call and had to go to eat. There will be a banquet in a few days, and Li Zhaokun will be asked to use his remaining value. Now if he is offended severely, he will be blinded.
After dinner, Li Fucheng talked for a while and then left directly.
Li He has made up his mind to be filial when he should be filial. He can't get used to being a demon. When his conditions are better and the policy allows, Fei Dianxin will have independent household registrations for several people in the family, and weddings and funerals will follow. He, Li Zhaokun, has nothing to do with him anymore. Let him be a bachelor head of household.
Li He was sitting in a chair in a daze when the little girl suddenly jumped on him and almost fell him. I remember that I was still in college at that time. The little girl went to school late and he was the oldest in the class. I felt that my self-esteem was hurt. After finishing junior high school, I was unwilling to continue studying.
Later, when I got him, I found that the little girl had inherited Li Zhaokun's temperament. She was very slippery and quickly became acquainted with a group of people. She was away from home all day long and unwilling to go to work. She always talked back to him, although she didn't Something out of the ordinary can be considered heart-breaking.
Li He also had the same old ideas at that time. He felt that the girl's family should work as expected and marry peacefully. The first time he hit her, the brother and sister became more and more angry. But she is smart and tight. After all, she is still his sister. Li He broke up the relationship with him. She got the opportunity and became a strong woman. The business went smoothly.
Li He's only consolation was that this girl was very considerate to his son and daughter, and her daughter and his little aunt were like sisters.
