My 1979

There was smoke everywhere in the village, and the straw was burning endlessly.

It was dark, the moon was out, and the burning straw illuminated both sides of the road. Some roots cannot be burned and only smoke.

Li He avoided the smoke and went up the river slope, trying to clear his head.

After walking up the river slope, he took a deep breath. A gust of cold wind blew over him, and he immediately tightened his clothes. Looking at the rippling sparkling river water, he suddenly wanted to wash his face, so he couldn't help but go down. The river beach was full of soft mud and sand, and there were some puddles. He walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

After stepping on the ground and reaching the water with my hands, I picked up a handful of water and put it on my face. I immediately felt the chill. What a sober person.

"Hey, be careful if you drop it and feed it to the bastard."

The person who spoke was Yingying Zhuo. Li He couldn't quite tell who the voice was.

"Why are you out so late?"

He Zhaodi said, "It's too late. It's not even seven o'clock. Come up quickly. There are sand pits in the river. If you fall in, you'll have to play."

Li He shook off the water on his hands and walked cautiously up the river slope. Seeing He Zhaodi coming over, he quickly stopped him and said, "I'll go there by myself, don't come over."

He Zhaodi didn't listen to him, she came over in a few steps, took his hand, and immediately lifted him up, "I can walk here with my eyes closed and it's fine."

He Zhaodi pulled him up and kept holding him without letting go, "Why are your hands so cold? Are you drunk?"

Li He said, "It's okay. Didn't I wash my hands just now? The water is relatively cold."

He Zhaodi wanted to cover Li He's hands, but her hands were relatively small and she couldn't hold Li He's hands.

Li He looked funny and said, "It's okay, I'm not cold."

"Come to my boat, it will be warmer on board." He Zhaodi took Li He and left.

He Zhaodi's boat was not big, and a shed was built on it to protect it from wind and rain.

After pulling Li He into the cabin, he lit the kerosene lamp and closed the curtains on both sides of the shed. "Isn't this much warmer?"

"It's much warmer. Where do you usually transport your goods?".

"Sometimes it's as close as Huaibin, and sometimes it's as far as Zhucheng. Once the freight arrives and is weighed, you can get the money. If I save some money next year, I can buy a bigger ship and it can haul more."

Li He said, "Very good. Can you handle this alone?"

"It's okay. My sister and I are here. My dad helps me sometimes even when he's not busy. He just has to stay on the boat for a long time, so I don't think I'm tired. I just got charged a little more when I was overdue. Everything else is fine."

"What is passing, I don't understand this."

He Zhaodi said happily, "It turns out you still don't understand. For example, when a ship arrives at a local dock, it cannot dock directly. It has to be loaded on a barge, and you need to pay for it. If you haven't loaded it, you need to pay for it. If you don't load it, you need to pay for it. If you weigh it, you need to pay for it. Money, seal the bag to collect the money, there are a bunch of evil-hearted people."

"You are so powerful. You can handle it even if I can't. It seems that nothing you do is easy." Li He said it sincerely.

"Don't bury me. If you do it, you will definitely do better than me." He Zhaodi obviously didn't believe Li He's words. She saw Li He sitting on the horse and swaying left and right. "Is it uncomfortable to sit down? Let's go back. It's humid at night." It’s also big.”

He Zhaodi pulled Li He ashore again and did not let go of his hand all the way. ,

Li He said, "I will leave tomorrow."

He Zhaodi stopped and hugged his waist, retracting her whole head into his arms, "Just take care of yourself."

Tears began to hide everywhere, and he no longer dared to look at Li He.

Li He hugged her tighter and said with a smile, "Why is this happening again?"

"You smell of cigarette smoke," He Zhaodi said inexplicably.

"Well, if you smoke too much, your body will be dirty."

He Zhaodi said, "You smile cleanly and speak cleanly."

Li He said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Go back," He Zhaodi said.

She held Li He's hand all the way and didn't separate until they reached the intersection.

When Li He returned home and saw Wang Yulan still busy in the kitchen, he gave her another 2,000 yuan.

Wang Yulan said, "Where did you come from with so many people? You damn kid is too scary."

Li He said, "Just pretend, it's easier to make money in the city than at home. There's no need to save money. I'll keep the money for my wife. Besides, I've bought a house, so you don't have to worry."

Wang Yulan said, "If you don't listen to your nonsense, I will still save it for you. I will see when the little money you earn will be lost."

Her son's lavish spending has long dissatisfied her.

Li He said, "Can you hope that your son will be better? I don't look like a prodigal. How about I take you to the city in a few years?"

Wang Yulan said, "There are so many animals in the house, and they can't even take a step away from anyone. Your father often goes to the city, but it's not like that, and he doesn't see the sky or the earth. Just live your life and you will be lucky."

Li He didn't say anything more and went back to the house to pack his things.

Early the next morning, Li Long was asked to drive a walking tractor and deliver him to the county seat.

As before, I took the bus and transferred to the train, and when I arrived at the station, I was already smelly.

When I came out of the station, I saw a breakfast vendor next to me. I ate five steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk in one go. I felt very comfortable.

When she got home, Fu Xia wanted to boil hot water for him to take a bath.

Li He was too lazy to wait for the water to boil, so he took a bath ticket and went to the bathhouse. There were not many people in the bathhouse in the morning, so he took a comfortable bath.

A young man started having sex with the bath master. The young man said while beating him: I paid 5 yuan to get a tattoo of a tiger, so you can rub a head off for me.

There was a circle of people watching the fun without stopping.

Li He didn't go there either, so he would have so much free time, and he wouldn't even have time to watch the excitement.

During lunch, Fu Xia said, "I also bought a house. The price has gone up. It only has three rooms and no yard. People dared to ask for 10,000 yuan, but they didn't pay back the price in the end. That house It’s close to here, otherwise I wouldn’t buy it. Feng Lei’s family also bought three units for only 4,000 yuan, but they were much smaller than mine.”

"Only 10,000 yuan? You are already a Chinese aunt worth tens of millions, so be satisfied."

"Chinese aunt? How old am I?" Fu Xia hurriedly looked for a mirror to look at.

Li He said, "I didn't say you were old. I just said you were a landowner and this house is worth buying."

"Okay, then I will be a Chinese aunt from now on."

Li He said, "Have you, Sister He, come back?".

"She came back a long time ago and helped clean up her house. After cleaning up, she said she was busy at school and hurried back to school."

Li He suddenly remembered something, "Did Mingzi get married to help me?"

Su Ming and Xu Jiamin finally got together.

Su Ming came back from Shenzhen relatively late, and Li He didn't wait any longer. Moreover, the wedding was on the eighth day of the lunar month, so Li He couldn't make it.

Fu Xia said, "Let it go."
