My 1979

Early the next morning, Yang Xuewen had just gotten up and was about to leave. Li He wanted to stay for breakfast. "There is no urgent matter at home. I want to talk to you about something. Let's wash our faces by the well first."

Li He was at the well. He took off his clothes, leaving only his underwear on, and took a shower directly. The well water was quite good, and it was a little warm, so he felt refreshed immediately.

Li Mei was startled and scolded directly, "You can die, you're not afraid of catching a cold, it's such a cold day."

Li He said with a smile, "It's still cold in the north. It's not even more than ten degrees below zero in school. I still take a shower with cold water to refresh myself."

The little girl got up together, and as soon as she opened her eyes, Li He was sticky. Li He quickly asked the fourth child to take her away and brush her teeth and wash her face.

After breakfast, Yang Xuewen finally couldn't stay any longer. Li He saw his anxious look and said, 'Brother Xuewen, let me take you to the intersection and discuss something with you. "

"Erhe, you said, I will never refuse if I can help you." Yang Xuewen was a little confused. We didn't know each other for a long time and there was nothing we could discuss.

Yang Xuewen's appearance completely matches the kind of knife-shaped face, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and dark skin. He is half a head taller than Li He, but he is a bit thin. Walking with such a person makes Li He feel more stressed.

As for Li Mei, she is also a mature girl. She is considered pretty in the village. She has big eyes, a high nose, and a well-shaped waist.

The more Li He thought about it, the more they seemed to be right for each other. In their previous lives, they lived in harmony and never blushed. Li He decided to help his brother-in-law since he met him, otherwise he would be in trouble this time, "My third child is getting married in the spring. I want you and my uncle to help me organize some furniture and lumber." , I am a layman."

Yang Xuewen smiled and said, "If I do a big job, I will use elm trees if I do a good job, and poplar trees if I do a bad job. There are plenty of them in the commune, so you can get them if you give me money." "

"Then I can tell you whether the construction will start when it's convenient for you. You can win year after year. You can discuss it with my uncle at what time. This is the money for lumber. Just use elm trees. Let's make a complete set. Three pieces of big house. Doors, cabinets, tables and chairs, wardrobes." Li He took out 500 yuan from his pocket and handed it over.

Yang Xuewen counted and quickly took out a part and handed it to Li He, "More, more, three hundred yuan is enough."

Li He waved his hand and said, "Have you and my uncle's wages been taken into account? They are almost the same. The more you pay, the less you make up. You may not know for sure later, but I will add more. When my third son gets married, I will give him a share. I’m building three houses, and I’m not sure what I’m going to add. Aren’t you and my uncle both going to build chicken coops and pig pens?”

Yang Xuewen insisted on returning 200 yuan and said, "One code will be the same. If you add anything later, you will give me money. You can't get money without doing work. How can this be reasonable? Don't worry, the work will be done beautifully."

When Li He saw him like this, he didn't say anything. Why are there so many stubborn donkeys?

At noon, Li Mei cooked a plate of chicken stewed with mushrooms, a plate of scrambled eggs with green peppers, a plate of stir-fried vermicelli with mung bean sprouts, and braised tofu and crucian carp. Although life is getting better now, she usually doesn’t cook these, so she steamed a tray of staple food. Steamed buns, the morning buns are still on the stove.

Li Long's marriage was basically decided. On the day of the marriage, Wang Yulan still mentioned the marriage with high expectations that the woman would not want a bride price. In fact, Mrs. Duan Mei really didn't mention the bride price.

The old man Li Fucheng took the initiative and paid two hundred yuan as a gift.

These two hundred yuan were the price paid by every household in and outside the village to marry a wife. A penny more would earn the limelight, while a penny less would make one look poor.

The next step is to build a house, but to build a house, you have to apply for a new foundation, so you have to go to Liu Chuanqi.

Li He told Wang Yulan and Li Mei about the idea of ​​building a new house. The two people had not expressed their opinions yet. Li Long became anxious. He was not married yet, so he had to separate the family. He could Are you happy? "I still have an old house at home that I can live in. The worst thing is that the old house has been rebuilt. Why do I need to find a foundation?"

Wang Yulan also answered, "Yeah, you're not at home. If he gets married and lives far away, wouldn't we be the only old ladies at home?"

Wang Yulan was very angry. As a rural person, it is okay for parents-in-law to split up the family, but it is unfilial for young people to split up the family.

Li He said to Li Long, "Who will live in that broken house?

Your wife doesn't say anything, but she will be happy in the future?

You are already married, and I still live under the same roof with you. What’s going on? If you don’t laugh it off, do you think there are people living like this in and outside the village?

Besides, you still have two little ones at home. If your new daughter-in-law comes to be your mother-in-law, do you still have to be your mother-in-law to the whole family?

Instead of making things difficult for you in the future, take care of things now.

Be smart and live your life well. "

Li Long and Duan Mei are both in a heated relationship now. It's not that Duan Mei doesn't mean to live alone, but he has always been perfunctory. Thinking of this, she bowed her head and stopped talking.

After all, Li Mei had put more thought into it, and had been worried about whether she would be able to get along with her sister-in-law. She had seen her appearance and character, but she was still worried.

From now on, the second child will be a member of the public family and settle down in the city. He and his two younger sisters will get married. From now on, not everyone in the family and outside the family will belong to the third child. The third child's daughter-in-law will have to find fault in the future. .

What's more, it is also good for the third child if they are separated. The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sister-in-law will inevitably bump into each other with pots, pans, and spoons.

This third child is causing trouble both inside and outside. Maybe one day when dad comes back, things will get even more chaotic. "Your brother is right, third child, this is all for your own good. You can live a simple life by yourself." How can we let the new daughter-in-law endure hardships in a big pot of rice, and then just finish the foundation work and start building a house in the spring. "

Wang Yulan kept her mouth shut and said nothing. Her son and daughter were her own, how could she still get a word in?

After finishing his meal, he stamped his rice bowl and angrily went to Pan Guangcai's mother to complain. Before the new wife even got married, the two sons were thinking of separating their families.

Although it was still a bit cold at noon, the warm sun was very comfortable.

Later, after it got dark, Li He went to find Liu Chuanqi with a flashlight and two bottles of wine. After a few words of greeting, he directly stated his purpose.

Liu Chuanqi smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't give me a drink if nothing happened. What a thief."

Li He smiled and said, "You want to say that, and I will just take it back? That is my junior's filial piety to you, and it has nothing to do with whether you do things or not."

"What a fool, why are you trying to fool me? Anyway, you are a promising kid. There is no one around here who is better than you," Liu Chuanqi took a puff of cigarette and continued, "After the new year, the village committee will meet and unify. points, it’s not just your family applying.

Ask your third child to write an application.

you write?

Your household registration has been moved, and you still write a hammer! "

Li He scratched his head and forgot about this incident.

In the next few days, the whole family began to prepare New Year's goods. Li He asked Da Zhuang and Li Long to drive a donkey cart to take Wang Yulan and Li Mei there, while he stayed at home to take care of his two children. Most of the scarce goods still had to be paid for, as the old saying goes. I have to tighten my belt and save my tickets for the New Year.

The fourth child got the electronic watch given by Li He and showed off very well. He didn't forget to raise his wrist to check the time when doing his homework. "Brother, can I wear it to school?"

Li He leaned against the wall to bask in the sun with his eyes closed. The little girl clung to him and stepped on his legs with her shoes. Li He's pants were all muddy. The novelty he had felt at the beginning was gone and he was a little annoyed. "Hurry up." Come down or I’ll really beat you up.”

The little girl looked at Li He aggrievedly, which clearly meant that if you dare to hurt me again, I will dare to cry to you. Then she ignored Li He and continued to pull Li He's hair to practice finger twisting. Li He Having no choice but to sigh and say to the fourth child, "Give him some candy and coax him away quickly."
