My 1979

Lao Wu was beaten on the second day after Li He returned home. At this time, he was in tears and full of resentment.

"I hate you so much", he turned around and ran away angrily.

Li He grabbed her by the collar, pressed her down on the chair, and said, "You think I'm kidding, don't you? I usually give you a good face!".

Wang Yulan was washing clothes, Li Mei was busy in the kitchen, and Li Zhaokun was teasing his little granddaughter. Lao Wu looked around, but no one came out to speak for her. Everyone ignored her. She felt aggrieved and cried even harder.

Li Pei was clapping and giggling nearby. It seemed that he was often bullied by his little aunt.

Li He said, "There's no point in crying. You're already in fifth grade. Why are you still doing this? You've done the after-school exercises. If you can't finish them, don't expect to go out."

His grandma came over and said, "It's enough for a girl to know how to smack a few words. There's no point in having her head pressed against a cow that doesn't drink water."

The old lady didn't feel sorry for her daughter's crying, she just felt that the crying was too noisy.

Li He said, "Nai, don't worry about it. I'll take care of her temper."

The old lady saw that it was very noisy and her ears were dirty, so she chatted for a few words and left.

Li He moved a chair and sat next to Lao Wu, "Write, I'll watch you write."

Lao Wu's previous tricks were of no use at all, and he didn't write anything. He just sat on the chair and had a stalemate with Li He, his voice was hoarse from crying, and his body was still twitching.

The brother and sister stayed up until noon, staring at each other, but the fifth child still didn't turn a page of the book or even write a word.

Li He said, "Even if you sit there, it's your mission anyway."

Li Mei pulled Lao Wu up and said, "Let's go, wash your face and eat."

After lunch, Yang Xuewen gave Li He a wad of money and said, "I will return this thousand yuan to you for your use first. If you are not in a hurry, I will return all the money to you next year."

Li He gave the money to Yang Xuewen again, "You can use it first, I am not short of money for the time being. Don't you still have to repair the house? They are all places to spend money, so there is no need to rush to give it to me."

Yang Xuewen said, "You spend a lot of money outside, so it's not good to always be in debt to you."

"Okay, that's it, you can use it first."

Many people burned straw in the fields. The corn and soybean stubbles were leveled and dried in the sun. They were piled together and burned. The village was choked with smoke.

Li He couldn't stand the choking at home, so he went for a walk on the river slope. The river slope was relatively high and open, and the wind was strong, so there was no smoke.

I took a deep breath on the river embankment and lit a cigarette out of habit.

"You haven't choked enough yet, you are vomiting smoke again on the river embankment."

He Zhaodi appeared behind Li He carrying an iron hook. She was wearing a sweater underneath and a jacket outside. Her sleeves were rolled up, revealing her slender arms. The teeth are extremely small, like animal teeth, and white as if they are coated with glaze. There is no fair spot on her skin, and her neck is all dark wheat color, but there is an indescribable temperament about her body. Those talking eyes echo the willow eyebrows, and a spiritual energy spreads.

Li He said, "I haven't smoked all day, so I went to the river slope to smoke a cigarette. What are you doing?"

"I'll take some twine to the boat."

"Boat, which one is yours?" Li He saw five or six boats parked by the river. He didn't know which one they were. They were all small and used for washing sand or hauling cargo.

"It's the one in the middle, the one with the red cloth strip," He Zhaodi pointed out to Li He. Her crystal eyes were smiling and full of pride.

"Isn't this Wu Tuozi's ship?"

"Of course not. Wu Tuozi's boat is not half as big as mine. Oh, by the way, I'll give you the money." He Zhaodi put the hemp rope on the ground and took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and gave it to Li He, " Don’t do this again next time, but thank you for helping me, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to buy such a big boat.”

Li He was in a daze. He had almost forgotten the two hundred yuan sandwiched in the pages of the book when he lent it to He Zhaodi.

He took it easily, put it in his pocket, and asked, "Are you still so busy after the Chinese New Year?"

"You don't even count the points. I don't care if you are wrong."

"It's okay, I believe you."

These words made He Zhaodi's heart feel as sweet as honey, "I don't have to sell goods during the Chinese New Year, so I took advantage of the free time to peel off some hemp rope."

Li He followed He Zhaodi to the ditch beside the river slope. It was densely packed with hemp bundles, all covered with stones and wood.

In rural areas, hemp rope is used to bind and wrap things and goods. Peeling hemp is more common. The hemp is soaked in enough water, and the skin can be peeled off from the pole and dried in the sun to twist it into hemp rope.

He Zhaodi struggled to hook the hemp bundle from the water to the shore with an iron hook. Seeing Li He coming over, he immediately stopped him and said, "Don't come over, it stinks."

The numbness was rotten, and there was indeed a stench, not very pleasant. Li He couldn't bear to see He Zhaodi struggling so hard, and was about to reach over to help pull it. He Zhaodi pushed him away with her elbow, "I said, I can do it alone. This is not your fault. It's too dirty here. You can go to the side."

While Li He was stunned, He Zhaodi had already dragged the hemp bundle up.

Li He reluctantly lit another cigarette and sat on the river slope quietly watching He Zhaodi peel the hemp.

He Zhaodi's hands were very dexterous, and she didn't move her body. She pumped and moved her hands, and the hemp fiber skin stretched longer and longer. When the whole thing was taken off, only the shiny white hemp rod was left.

The rhythm is very rhythmic and looks very comfortable.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the fourth child is back, taking the initiative to do housework at home.

Wang Yulan listened to Li He nagging the fifth child about his studies a lot, and became concerned about the studies. She did not let the fourth child do housework, and urged, "Go and read a book, I will take the college entrance examination next year."

The fourth child was so tired of reading at school that he looked forward to two more days of rest at home. "If I don't pass the exam, I don't care about these two days."

Li He asked Chen Yongqiang for a whole pig and got 140 kilograms of meat. Who asked Li Zhaokun to sell the big fat pig at home?

I gave 40 kilograms to Li Mei’s family, Mr. Li Fucheng gave 20 kilograms, and Grandma and Grandpa of Hewan gave another 20 kilograms.

Li He knew that Wang Yulan's face was already dark without looking, but he still resisted looking.

Finally, Li He asked Li Long, "Grandpa Li Pei, you also want to send 20 pounds, right?"

Duan Mei saw the word "unhappy" clearly written on her mother-in-law Wang Yulan's face, "My dad and the others have food at home, so there is no need to make such a trip."

Li He was waiting for Li Long's attitude.

Li Long said, "Then I'll send it over in the afternoon."

He was also in a dilemma when he was caught between his mother and his daughter-in-law.

The New Year's Eve of 1986 was a rare period of good weather, with no wind, rain, or snow, and it was still unusually dry.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, they played cards as usual after the New Year greetings. Li and Lao followed the rules and became money-distributing boys. They went out for twenty yuan, which made Wang Yulan mutter for several days.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Laosi got married, and the three newly built large tile-roofed houses were very impressive. The house does not use red bricks like Li He's house. It only uses red bricks at the base of the walls. The tops of the walls are still made of adobe, but the roof has enough tiles. It can be considered a top-notch house in the countryside.

An old bachelor like Liu Laosi has been famous for many years. Although the conditions are good, girls with independent opinions are not very happy.

He married a widow from a neighboring village. She was only 21 or 22 years old. She had a good figure and good looks, but her life was not good. It was only a year after the marriage that the man drank too much and drowned in the river. She became a widow, so she never Give birth.

Liu Laosi was filled with joy when he first saw it. It looked good, and it was good to use. It was really good.

The woman was getting married for the second time and did not want to hold any more banquets. Although Liu Laosi was an honest person, the more honest people burst into joy, the more out of control they became. He insisted on throwing a lively party for people to see, as if he wanted to show off his years of love. Suppression is released.

After Liu Laosi married this woman home, he almost treated her like a bride. She was a coward all day long. He held it in his hand for fear of dropping it and held it in his mouth for fear of her melting. He couldn't bear to do anything like washing and cooking for a woman. .

This woman knows both cold and heat. She does laundry, cooking, and raising livestock.

Liu Laosi's wife was grinning crookedly. This daughter-in-law just picked it up.

Li He thought that this was something destined by fate. Liu Laosi made his fortune two years earlier than in his previous life, but in the end he still married the same woman. It was fate.
