My 1979

Chapter 299 Protecting the Cubs

Li He was confused on the spot, why can't he be simple anymore?

This is no longer the follower of my childhood.

He is both angry and funny. As children grow up, they will unconsciously put themselves into the adult world.

Sighing, without thinking much, he went to the security department and said hello to Lao Guan, then took his luggage and turned around and left the city.

When passing by the Li Long Scrap Collection Station, I decided to go in and take a look around. It was still early and I could get home before dark.

The yard in front of the scrap station is piled with scrap copper and iron, corrugated cardboard, as well as some old books, newspapers, bottles, and cans.

Three people were immersed in the waste pile sorting and sorting.

Liu Laosi turned around to get his things and saw Li He first, and immediately greeted him, "You're back. We were talking just now. Longzi said you were coming back for the New Year. We were all guessing when we would come back."

Li Long and Da Zhuang also put down their work and joined in.

Li He said, "I just got off the car and haven't had much of a meeting. How is the business?"

When it came to business, Liu Laosi grinned, held out two fingers and said, "This year will be about this number."

"Twenty thousand?".

Liu Laosi nodded happily, "That's right, hurry up and sit in the room."

Li He entered the house and saw that the house was still the same, except that there were two more beds, a stove for cooking rice and water, and some pots and pans.

The brand new walking tractor at the door attracted him, "Newly bought?".

Da Zhuang said, "I bought it in the summer. It burns diesel. It is convenient for pulling things and saves a lot of energy."

Li He picked up the crank handle, first accelerator, pressed the pressure reducing lever, and inserted the crank handle into the exhaust pipe.

Liu Laosi hurriedly said, "I'll shake it for you to see. I accidentally hit my chin."

Li He drove them aside and said calmly, "If you can still do this, just get out of the way."

The tractor is started by compression ignition and does not have a starter motor, so it is cranked by hand. The accessories have a high degree of generalization, simple structure, compact layout, low price, easy to use and repair. Therefore, at this time, many people started their own businesses and chose to start agricultural machinery or repair stations.

Liu Laosi and the other two looked at Li Heyao nervously.

Li Long said, "Brother, don't let go of the handle."

Li He twists his waist to drive the flywheel to rotate to a certain speed. When he hears the sound of starting, he takes the handle away.

Sure enough, the walk-behind tractor started and started making a chugging sound.

Liu Laosi said, "You are still the best. We worked in a hurry for several days before you were so stupid."

Li He turned off the car and said, "It's not difficult. I'll go back first. You can stay busy here."

"Then wait a minute." Liu Laosi hurriedly went to the house and handed a wad of money to Li He and said, "I lent this to you at the beginning, and now I will pay it back to you. The extra two hundred yuan will be counted as the interest we paid, so you don't have to Too little."

Li He stuffed it into his bag, "Okay, I won't be hypocritical, I will continue. Let's go first."

Liu Laosi said, "Driving the tractor back, how long does it take to walk? Longzi, you two brothers should go back together, there is nothing busy these days anyway."

"Okay", Li He opened the handcar again, put his luggage under the seat, and urged Li Long to get into the back car.

Li Long was a little doubtful, "How about I drive it?"

"There's so much nonsense. Come up quickly. The car won't turn over." Li He turned the corner and got on the highway.

Li Long had no choice but to catch up and jump into the trunk.

The road conditions were not good, so Li He didn't drive fast. Halfway through, he put on the clutch and parked the car on the side of the road. He took out the money Liu Laosi had just given to Li Long and said, "Take it, I'll use it for household expenses."

"No, I have enough." Li Long didn't accept the money. He felt that he had taken a lot of money from his eldest brother over the years. From building a house to getting married, there was nothing that his eldest brother didn't pay for. If he took any more money, he would feel like his face was stained. If there is no light, what else can the village say? Everything depends on light, and it is difficult to walk straight.

Li He once again realized that people become really boring when they grow up.

As soon as I arrived in the town, I met a lot of people. One after another, people jumped up and down without saying hello. No matter how fast the walking tractor was, it couldn't go any faster.

When I got home, I took a shower and ate some steamed buns.

Li Zhaokun was smoking at the door, and little Li Ke, who was riding on his head, was still intoxicated by the smell of cigarettes.

Li He saw that he had a headache, so he lifted little Li Ke off Li Zhaokun's head and put it on the ground. The little girl could already run on the ground.

Li Zhaokun said, "You are very honest on my head. What are you going to do if you put it down!"

Li He said, "She can feel better smelling your cigarette. Children have weak lungs and can't help but choke. Just smoke less in front of them."

"How do you know she's not feeling well? She won't cry if she's not happy. You guys have been exposed to my smoke, and you're all alive and kicking." Li Zhaokun didn't take it seriously.

"You cough when you catch a cold, and you want your child to cough with you." Li Long felt sorry for his daughter. If Li Zhaokun hadn't been his biological father, he would have bared his teeth, turned around, and carried the child home.

Li Zhaokun secretly glanced at Wang Yulan who was busy in the kitchen, pulled Li He aside, and whispered, "Give me 5 yuan."

Li He said, "Don't I send you money every month? You spend it so fast?"

"Being taken away by your mother-in-law" made Li Zhaokun feel miserable. Only he knew how miserable he was.

"Then I'll give you 2 yuan. I don't have any more." Li He was so happy that he really wasn't plotting against you.

"Did you bring cigarettes back? Give me one," Li Zhaokun asked. The smoke can hardly be mixed, which shows how difficult the life is.

In the past, Wang Yulan loved men without any sense of measure. She was as meticulous as a needle to her men. She only saw all the benefits of men, and she was willing to do everything in her life.

This time Li Zhaokun secretly sold the big fat pig she had raised carefully, which had already exceeded Wang Yulan's bottom line. He actually dared to go to her son behind her back and ask for money. This offended Wang Yulan to death.

In her mind, her husband is just a hot water bottle to warm her hands and cover her belly. If it is gone, she can resist the cold. Maybe she will get used to it if he is cold.

But sons and daughters are the thorns in the heart, and protecting the cubs is instinctive. In her mind, it was not easy for her eldest son to live in the city. He was not married yet and had to send money to his family. She would not be happy even if she had a hundred people. She felt so sorry for her son that her heart was almost broken.

Nowadays, I may have money and confidence, and I have unknowingly started to compete with Li Zhaokun. I used to serve him delicious food and drinks, but now I don’t call him Li Zhaokun when I eat. When I come back late, I just give him pickled vegetables and tofu dregs. Li Zhaokun was forced not to go out and wander around. He had to go home as soon as he had a meal. After time, he had to eat tofu.

The cigarettes were replaced by dimes, and the wine was replaced by loose wine.

In the past, she would give Li Zhaokun one or two yuan out of necessity, but now she won't give him even a dime at all.

He also asked Li Long to send a telegram to Li He, so there was no need to send money.

So Li He actually only sent money for one month, but never sent it after that.

Li Zhaokun was also annoyed and scolded Wang Yulan, "You bitch, you just don't think about it."

Wang Yulan was also cruel and said, "If you don't let me have an easy time, I won't let you have an easy time either."

Li He went to Li Long's house. The two brothers smoked and talked about some family matters.

He just didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to see the mighty side of his mother in this life. Maybe it was because the woman had money in her pocket, and her mood was different.

And Li Zhaokun probably underestimated how well Wang Yulan protected his cub.
