My 1979

Chapter 356 Pay off debts

I met Lao Feng, a barber on the river slope, so he said, "Shave it for me."

"There's no hot water, let's go to your house." Lao Feng was a five-guaranteed household in Zhuangzi. He often carried a bag and shaved people's heads in various villages. He was an old bachelor in his fifties and naturally had no children. The so-called five guarantees mainly include food, clothing, medical care, housing and burial.

Li He sat on the slope and said, "You don't need to wash it with hot water, just use a clipper to shave it off."

Old Feng said, "You are not afraid of the cold. If it snows in a few days, you will freeze to death."

"It's okay, just push it."

He sat and smoked while Lao Feng stood and gave him a haircut. He couldn't help but ask several times, "Really shaved?"

Li He also checked back and forth several times, "shaved."

A gust of cold wind came over, and he could feel the coolness on his scalp.

But I really like this extremely clever sentiment!

After shaving, Li He touched his head and found that the scalp felt good and he was quite satisfied.

Lao Feng seemed to dislike Li He for smashing his sign, and looked a little sad.

When Li He was calculating the money for him, Lao Feng also dug up Li Zhaokun's old accounts from the previous year. He had been shaving his beard and head for several years, but he had never given him a cent.

Li He smiled awkwardly. He knew that Li Zhaokun could do such a thing, and it could also be regarded as a very honorable thing. Even if he had money in his pocket, he would ask if he could get something on credit first. If he could get it on credit, he would feel very proud. Owing money to someone based on your ability is such a sign of ability.

This kind of brain circuit is not something that ordinary people can understand.

He paid Lao Feng a dollar and didn't let Lao Feng look for it. Lao Feng still looked for him, "One is one, two is two. You are different from your father. Your father can pinch out water even if he is a dead toad." People".

Lao Feng's words made Li He realize that it was impossible for Li Zhaokun to only owe money to one person and two people. He still had to go to Chen Yongqiang and the others to ask. It was in vain for him to ask Li Long. If someone said something stupid about Li Zhaokun, it would be impossible for him to say it in front of his own son.

When we got down the river, some people laughed at his big bright light bulb and asked, "Isn't it cold?"

Li He replied, "It's cool."

Privately, some people said, "This kid is too busy studying and got such a haircut."

‘碓’ means silly in the local dialect, and people generally like to say 碓ike, xiongyang.

Chen Yongqiang was cleaning the pig pen, and when he saw Li Helai, he was also amazed by his bald head!

He smiled dryly, took off his dirty clothes, threw away the shovel, and welcomed Li He into the house.

Li He said, "I want to ask you something."

"You can tell me."

"Do you think my father has lost money in Zhuangzi this year?"

Chen Yongqiang didn't expect that Li He would ask this question, so he hesitated for a while and said, "It shouldn't be possible."

Li He was anxious, "Why are you nagging me when you talk to me? Do you know that you are trying to help me? I will settle all the money that is missing from someone's family, otherwise my two brothers will get a bad name for no reason."

Chen Yongqiang chuckled and said, "Then I will tell the truth?".

"Of course I told the truth."

"Not to mention my three melons and two dates, one pig's liver today, one pig's trotter tomorrow. I owe everything from Li Hui, Liu Laosi, Da Zhuang, and your sister-in-law's natal Duan Houchang. This is still I know, but you have to ask your dad if you don’t know." Chen Yongqiang thought of the relationship situation between Li and his son, so he didn't hide it anymore and just played it off.

Li He had a headache. He didn't expect that even Duan Mei's family had borrowed it. It was really embarrassing for him to be thrown into his grandma's house! It’s still Xiao Li Pei’s grandma’s house!

"I bought meat from you, but my mother-in-law didn't pay the bill with you?"

"I didn't buy it for your family. After playing cards with Wang Mouse and his gang, he usually gets together to start a fire and eat and drink together."

Li He said, "Calculate how much it will cost and I will pay it to you."

"No, it's only a few dollars. We don't need this in our relationship," Chen Yongqiang said very politely.

Li He became impatient and said, "When will you be able to feel happy? It's not a matter of money now."

"Okay, I'll calculate it for you." Chen Yongqiang took a small book, turned to the page of Li Zhaokun, and started scratching the paper with his pen tip. After a while, he reported it, "It should be seventeen yuan and fifty-two cents."

Li He was very helpless. What a big fool Li Zhaokun had been!

You can raise so much money just by working with others!

Li He counted out two ten-dollar bills and handed them over, "Hurry up and change, what are you waiting for?"

My biological father still needs him to wipe his ass.

"That's so embarrassing." Chen Yongqiang still obeyed and asked for the change.

"You don't have to give him a dime on credit from now on. Others will also help."

"Okay," Chen Yongqiang agreed simply. They were willing to give Li Zhaokun credit on account of Li He's face.

Li He then went to find Li Hui, and Li Hui said, "They are all relatives at home, so it doesn't matter. He has to borrow it if he opens his mouth."

"Okay, I'll give you the money, just don't borrow it in the future."

When he came out of Li Hui's house, he was angry with Li Zhaokun, but he was also angry with people like Li Hui. When his family was very poor, why didn't anyone care about favors? Why didn't they say it didn't matter?

Instead, are you starting to do favors now?

When they arrived at Liu Laosi's house, Liu Laosi was still curious. Didn't he just break up on the river slope? Why did he come here again?

When Li He saw his wife at the door, he pulled her out and asked carefully, "How much money did I borrow from you?".

Liu Laosi shook his head and said, "Not much, not much, this little money is nothing."

"How much will I pay back to you? I know you have good intentions, but that's not how good intentions work. It's not like you don't know his temperament."

Li He also knew that Liu Laosi just felt that he owed him a favor and wanted to make it up to Li Zhaokun, so he responded to Li Zhaokun's requests.

"More than a hundred."

"Why so many?" Li He frowned.

"He always said he was unlucky and probably lost money."

Li He gave him the money, asked Liu Laosi about the creditors he knew, and then went door to door.

After careful calculation, I have already given 200 yuan!

It was a small amount of money to him, but in the countryside, it was really a lot of money!

When Da Zhuang came in the evening, Li He asked directly. Even Li Long looked confused and asked Da Zhuang, "How could you hide this from me?"

Da Zhuang said embarrassedly, "Don't you have much money? I didn't say anything."

He was probably thinking the same thing as Liu Laosi. He owed the two brothers a favor and wanted to find supplies for Li Zhaokun.

Li He said angrily, "That's because, you're embarrassed to say it, but everyone in the village knew it, and we two brothers were just like fools and knew nothing."

Da Zhuang blushed and said, "I swear I didn't tell anyone, your father said it himself."

Li He could also guess that it was probably Li Zhaokun who said that drinking too much wine shows off one's abilities. He felt that he had face wherever he went, and anyone could borrow money based on his face.

"Okay, I'll give you the money back and don't borrow it again in the future." Li He asked Li Long again, "Didn't your father-in-law say that our father borrowed money from him?".

Li Long shook his head, "He really didn't say that. I'll ask Mei Zi."

"Don't ask. You go to your father-in-law to pay back the money tomorrow. Please don't borrow it again in the future." Li He had already been talking all afternoon and his mouth was dry.

He told Wang Yulan about Li Zhaokun's loan, but the amount was doubled, from 230 yuan to 500 yuan.

Wang Yulan burst into tears on the spot, "Why am I working so hard for this?"

She took the long bamboo pole used to keep the geese and blocked the door of her house. Li Zhaokun came in humming a tune, and Wang Yulan swung him over with a bamboo pole, saying, "What have I ever done with you?"

"You're crazy." Li Zhaokun didn't understand what was going on.

"600 yuan!"

"What are you talking about, you bitch?" Li Zhaokun was hit on the head with a bamboo pole, and he instinctively ran out of the house.

The fourth child was clever and had locked the door long ago.

Li Zhaokun was about to unbolt the door when the bamboo pole came over again, so he quickly turned back and ran into the yard.

Wang Yulan turned around and followed closely into the yard. The space was small and the bamboo pole was long. She threw it up in a few seconds and said, "This year's pigs have been in vain again, you are a sinner!".

The more she thought about pigs, the sadder she became. The price of a pig was only 6 cents, which was 500 yuan. She could do the math without even counting on her fingers!

Li Zhaokun suffered a big loss and was thrown up and down by the bamboo pole. There were two bloody sticks on his head. He panicked and grabbed the bamboo pole and said, "You are seeking death!".

After watching the fun, Li He saw Li Zhaokun grabbing the bamboo pole and trying to compete with Wang Yulan. He was afraid that his mother would suffer a loss, so he hurried over to break up the fight and snatched the bamboo pole away, "Calm down your anger, calm down your anger."

If he put all his strength into it, his mother would definitely not be Li Zhaokun's opponent. If Li Zhaokun tried to bluff, he would be in trouble.

Li Zhaokun waited until Wang Yulan finished crying, then stamped his feet and said, "Who is this idiot who spreads nonsense? I owe less than 300 yuan."

Li He coughed, "That's because I remembered it wrong. I paid you back the money. Do you still owe anyone money?"

Li Zhaokun looked at Wang Yulan and said with certainty that it was gone.

He didn't know why he was now afraid of this old woman acting badly.

Li He was washing his feet in the kitchen, and Li Zhaokun sneaked in while pouring tea and whispered, "Did you really pay me back?"

"Repaid".

"Shh, keep your voice down. Then lend me some more. I still need money."

Li He frowned and asked, "How much? Whose difference is it?"

Li Zhaokun sighed, "It's not much, only 200 yuan. I've been having bad luck recently, mainly because of Shao Wang Mouse."

Li He said, "Then you lost all your money to him last year?".

"It's not his money alone, there are several other friends." Li Zhaokun then reported his name one by one, and then looked at his son eagerly. He had already lied a lot and would pay back the money at the end of the year.

"Okay, you call them over tomorrow, we will meet on the river slope, and I will give them the money." Li He and Li Zhaokun are all familiar with each other. They both have the same name as "Liuzi", second-rater, second-rater, Li Zhaokun was a third-rate son or a scoundrel, pitiful to say the least. How could he have any friends? If he was sold, he would probably have to help pay for it.
