rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 101 Return to Erlong Town (still available at night)

Early the next morning, the three of Chen Li's family and Li Yuan, the "free labor force", started their shopping trip.

Washing machine. More than 500 yuan!

It's not fully automatic, because Chen Li's mother said that a fully automatic washing machine can't clean it.

Chen Li didn't argue with his mother about this. After all, the fully automatic washing machine was not very clean.

The two siblings bought two more sets of clothes each, and also bought a set of clothes for Li Yuan. The five sets of clothes together cost nearly 700 yuan.

One thing to say is that Wang Dongmei is still very willing to spend money on her children.

Don't think that spending 700 yuan for five sets of clothes is not a lot, but in fact, people these days are not so particular about brands when buying clothes.

When Wang Dongmei chooses clothes for her children, she first looks at quality, fabric, comfort and size.

As for the brand, sorry, it doesn't matter at all.

But back in 1997, you could buy a pair of good quality pants and a good quality T-shirt for thirty yuan.

If the price is raised to fifty yuan, the quality and quality of the clothes will definitely exceed your imagination.

Of course, the premise is that you can’t pursue style too much.

But in small rural areas, people don’t pay much attention to this. As long as they are new clothes, everyone likes them.

After buying these two items, he went to buy some candies and snacks. Chen Li also bought two bottles of Hongtashan and two bottles of Maotai for his father.

Then she was scolded by Wang Dongmei.

Originally, Wang Dongmei wanted to take the cigarettes and alcohol back, but was stopped by Chen Li.

"Mom, my dad has not had it easy these past years. I don't know if he has ever drank Moutai. Didn't I make money this time? This is my intention as a son."

For this reason, although Wang Dongmei was extremely dissatisfied with her son's lavishness, she still kept the things.

After completing their shopping, the group returned to the home appliance store, found a tricycle, and transported the washing machine to the station.

As for the other things, they were all placed on the modified bicycle that Chen Xue won through a lottery.

However, Wang Dongmei had been carrying the two bottles of Maotai herself. After all, this wine cost two hundred yuan a bottle.

In fact, if I came to buy Moutai two months ago, the price would only be 168 yuan a bottle. Moutai happened to raise the price this year, and now the price has risen to 200 yuan a bottle.

Wang Dongmei got on the tricycle and left, Li Yuan rode his bicycle towards the station, and Chen Li took Chen Xue on the bus.

There were a lot of people on the bus, and Chen Li kept holding Chen Xue's hand.

"Brother~! Thanks for last night!"

Chen Xue shook her brother's hand and gave Chen Li a big smile with a bright smile.

"Um?"

However, Chen Li didn't react for a while, and later he realized that this girl was thanking him for helping her keep her "salary" last night.

"What are you thinking about? We are brothers and sisters. How can we thank you?"

Chen Li let go of Chen Xue's hand, raised his hand and rubbed the little girl's head.

"Yeah~! You are the best brother in the world."

Chen Xuexiao's eyebrows curved and she nodded.

Although the bus is a car, it needs to stop, pick up and drop off passengers, and it is driving in the county. So when the bus arrived at the bus station, Li Yuan had already put the washing machine and bicycle in the minibus.

Go up to the ceiling.

These days, minibuses in Huilong County will have an iron frame welded to the roof, which is used to store some cargo and luggage. If there are too many cargoes, you may even be charged.

Like the Chen family who owns both a washing machine and a bicycle, they were supposed to charge money, but the driver who ran the Huilong to Erlong line was a comrade with Chen Guofu, so not only did he not charge money, he didn't even plan to charge the fare.

But this is actually just an attitude. After all, when Chen Li and Li Yuan went to the county seat before, he didn't say they wouldn't accept money.

This was just because Wang Dongmei was here, and she was just being polite. It was naturally impossible for Wang Dongmei not to pay the fare, and she even took the initiative to mention the freight issues of washing machines and bicycles.

In the end, there was a push and pull between the two sides, one wanted to give and the other refused. In the end, Ms. Wang won the final victory by paying off the fares of several people.

This trip from Huilong County to Erlong Town was more comfortable than the last time Chen Li came to the county. After all, the road conditions were extremely poor that time due to rain, and this trip was much better.

Except for Chen Li's mother being a little motion sick, there were no other accidents.

An hour later, the minibus arrived at Erlongchang Town. Before Mr. Chen got off the bus, he already saw his old man waiting at the turntable.

Before departure, Wang Dongmei called her husband and asked him to pull the washing machine. For this purpose, Chen Guofu even borrowed a tricycle.

"Dad~!"

"Dad~!"

After Chen Li and Chen Xue got out of the car, they first said hello to their old man, which made Li Yuan, who was following behind, almost call him dad.

"Uncle Chen~!"

Most of the children in Erlong Town know that there are two "cannons" in the grain depot!

One is Wei Dapao, referring to Wei, the deputy director of the Erlong Grain Station, and the other is Chen Dapao, referring to Chen Li's father, Chen Guofu.

Both of them have the same nickname, and the origin of this nickname is their temper.

Very crooked!

Even though Li Yuan and Chen Li grew up together, it can be seen that when he saw Chen Guofu, he was still a little frightened.

"Um!"

In fact, Chen Guofu is far from being as unkind as the legend outside, but Chen Guofu is a bit taciturn and not good at words. In addition, in order to educate Chen Li when he was a child, he often punished him, so he gave people a sense of seriousness.

For example, Chen Guofu at this time was actually smiling. But to be honest, his smile was not pretty.

"Haha~! What about that? Riko, I won't go to your house. I'll go back to my grandma's house first."

"Uncle Chen, Madam Wang, Xiaoxue, I'll leave first!"

Li Yuan laughed, then waved his hand and used a move to escape.

"This kid also said that he was invited to go home for dinner."

Li Yuan ran away so fast that Wang Dongmei, who originally wanted to ask him to eat, didn't have time to say anything.

"Dad, I bought you a gift!"

Chen Li went to the back to move the washing machine and bicycle, but Chen Xue stepped forward and took Chen Guofu's arm and said coquettishly.

In fact, it's quite unfair. As a son, Chen Li has been taken care of by Chen Guofu since he was a child, but as a daughter, Chen Xue has been spoiled by Chen Guofu since he was a child.

In his previous life, Chen Li often complained about this kind of differential treatment, and it was only later that he understood his father's thoughts when he grew up.

"Oh? What kind of gift?"

Facing Chen Xue, the smile on Chen Guofu's face became even brighter.

"I used the money I earned to buy you a Hongtashan."

Chen Xue let go of Chen Guofu's hand and took out a Hongtashan from the bag in Wang Dongmei's hand.

Two Hongtashan cigarettes cost 60 yuan each. Chen Xue paid for one of the cigarettes.

"Why buy such expensive cigarettes?"

Chen Guofu frowned. He usually only smoked red plums for four yuan at most. Most of the time, he even smoked Tianxiaxiu for two and a half yuan.

"Ouch. Are you lucky, Old Chen? Your daughter already knows how to buy cigarettes for you. Your brother can do it!"

At this moment, the driver of the minibus, Lao Zhou, came over after unloading the goods. He and Chen Guofu were comrades in arms.

"The little kid is not sensible. This cigarette is expensive, but it is not cost-effective!"

When facing his old comrades, Chen Guofu completely changed his expression. Although he said it was unreasonable, there was a hint of pride in his words?

"Here. Your son bought it for you. You can take it yourself! Be careful and don't drop it."

Wang Dongmei on the side handed the cloth bag she was carrying to Chen Guofu, her tone of voice somewhat showing off.

After Chen Guofu opened it, Lao Zhou next to him also came over to take a look, and then

"Hey~Old Chen?"

"Is your son getting rich? Is this from Moutai?"

"But I remember your son is still studying? Is this a lottery win?"

Some time ago, the impact of scratch lottery in the county was still there, so Lao Zhou had this question.

As for Chen Guofu, his frown deepened.
