Chapter 11 The Taste Is Really Sour And Refreshing

Chapter 11 tastes really sour.

On the way to wang li's house, regardless of her obstruction, Li Haitang bought a small bag of fruit and two bags of sugar, a bottle of canned lychee. Her sister-in-law really helped her a lot. It was necessary to send something to thank her.

Wang li's house was not far from the town. She walked for more than ten minutes and smelled pig dung from afar. She joked, "Your house smells really sour."

"Haha, it's really sour, but there's nothing I can do about it. My parents are very diligent. They throw out pig manure every day and wash it with water every two or three days, but the smell can't be removed." Wang Li smiled helplessly. She didn't like the smell. She planted a sweet osmanthus tree in the yard.

Wang li's pig farm had been open for many years, and naturally made a lot of money. A few years ago, her family had built a two-story red brick house with a layer of gray cement on the outside. The windows in the staircase were still hollowed out, and the balcony was pasted with colorful porcelain. This kind of "Foreign house" was naturally unique in this place filled with earthen brick houses, and it looked a bit taller.

When the two of them entered the house, Mother of Wangli and sister-in-law were sitting at the table knitting bracelets, and a one-year-old child was playing with wooden toys in the cradle.

Wang lijiao called out, "Mom, sister-in-law, I'm back."

Mother of Wangli looked up and saw that his daughter was smiling today. Li Haitang, who was behind him, also smiled slightly. He immediately put down the color line in his hand and said, "Lier is back. Haitang is here too. Come in and have a seat. Have a cup of tea and rest."

Li Haitang walked over with the small bag and smiled like a flower, "Auntie, sister-in-law, haitang has come to disturb you today. I bought some food for the little soldier on the way. I hope you don't mind."

Mother of Wangli reached out to take the bag from her hand and said with a look of pity, "Oh, you're not an easy child. Why waste this money? Just come and sit down."

It's not worth much. Sister-in-law has helped me a lot. I've been studying hard recently and haven't come to personally thank you. I'm too embarrassed to come over and play." Li Haitang's face flushed with embarrassment.

Wang Li's sister-in-law, Duan Meifang, was a businessman. She had learned a lot from her childhood. Today, when she saw Li Haitang, she felt that what her sister-in-law said was true. This girl was much smarter than her peers. Even in terms of human relations, she did very well. She smiled brightly and said, "Haitang, don't be so polite. If you want to thank your sister-in-law, she must thank you." Then he took out a bunch of bracelets from the basket.

Seeing her act, Li Haitang smiled comfortably. "Okay, then we won't thank you."

Wang Li poured a glass of water for Li Haitang and said with a smile, "That's right. Why are you being so polite? Thank you for coming and going, but you seem to be separated."

Mother of Wangli patted her daughter on the shoulder lovingly, then greeted Li Haitang and said, "Haitang, sit down. This is our own orchid bean. Try it too. You've been taking exams all day today, and you should be hungry too. Eat something to help your stomach."

"Okay, thank you, auntie." Li Haitang sat down at the table, put his bag on his lap, and then picked up the water to drink.

Mother of Wangli saw his daughter trying to pull the orchid beans into her mouth. She chewed them so hard that they sounded like she was starving. She said angrily, "Eat slowly. It's bad for your stomach if you eat fast."

Duan Meifang held his son Wang Wenbing in his arms and fed him a small apple. He asked, "Xiao li, how did you feel about the preliminary exam today?"

When the exam was mentioned, Wang Li became listless and replied, "I did well in english and history. I still did well in math and physics. Today's physics paper is so difficult. Well, if the middle school exam is so difficult, it's over."

Thinking of Li Haitang's proposal at noon, Wang Li asked his parents for advice. "Mom, sister-in-law, haitang's grades are much better than mine. She is willing to help me with math and physics. I want to stay at her house for half a month."

Seeing that their faces were worried, she continued to persuade them, "You don't know, after haitang moved out of the li family, it only took half a month for her to catch up with the worst physics. Today's physics paper is so difficult, she said that she could make two mistakes at most. If I could improve my math and physics by ten points, I would be very confident of entering the County one middle school."

Mother of Wangli thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't we have haitang staying at our house for half a month? Just focus on your studies. You don't have to do any housework. Your mother will prepare the food for you. You just have to come out on time to eat. If you think Wenbing is noisy at home, your mother will take him out to play during the day, and your sister-in-law will take him to bed early at night."

Wang Li thought it was a good idea. He looked at Li Haitang.

Li Haitang nodded and said, "Yes, just to trouble auntie."

"What's the trouble? It's just a pair of chopsticks and a bowl when you eat. Since it's decided, then haitang will stay here tonight." Mother of Wangli smiled lovingly.

"Okay, then I'll go back and get some new clothes." Li Haitang smiled.

Mother of Wangli stood up and said, "Okay, Lier can go with haitang. I'm going to cook now. Come back early for dinner and a bath. Go upstairs early to review your lessons."

Wang Li and Li Haitang got up together and replied, "Okay, we'll be back as soon as possible." After that, the two of them chatted and laughed as they rushed towards li jiacun.

When they got home, Li Haitang packed up a few clothes, and then gave the rest of the vegetables in the kitchen to the neighbor's house next door. After a few words of gossip, she went back to Wang jia village with Wang Li.

On their way back, they happened to meet Wang Li's eldest brother, Wang Yao, who worked in the town's slaughterhouse. It was at this time that he came back from work. Naturally, he was happy that Li Haitang came to help wang li with her homework. Of the three siblings, the younger sister had the best grades. The whole family hoped that she could get into a good high school and go to college in the future, so that she could win honor for her family.

There are not many college students in this era. If anyone had a college student, it would be a glorious thing in ten miles and eight towns.

When they got back to the wang family, Mother of Wangli was still busy in the kitchen, so the two of them went to take a bath and wash their clothes first. After washing, Wang Li's father and brother Wang Tiao, who were working in the pigsty, came back. Li Haitang greeted them one by one and went to the kitchen to help.

While eating, Mother of Wangli kept picking up food for Li Haitang, "Haitang, this is your first time coming to our house to eat. Eat more. Don't be polite."

Li Haitang said gracefully, "Auntie, I won't be polite. Your food is delicious. I need to eat another bowl."

"Just eat as much as you like. Eat more. My wang li is three months older than you. Although she is not as tall as you, she has more meat than you. You have to eat more. Girls need to gain weight to look good." Mother of Wangli smiled lovingly.

Wang Li, who was eating, looked up and said shyly, "Mom, what did you say? Are you hating your daughter for being short and fat?"

Everyone else laughed unkindly. Wang Li's father took a sip of rice wine and smiled, "Lier, dad thinks you haven't grown much lately."

Wang Li picked up a chicken wing and bit it fiercely, complaining, "I can't blame me for not growing taller. I eat two bowls of rice every meal. My brother bought me wheat milk and milk powder. It seems that it only grows horizontally, not vertically anymore."

"Haha... Haha..." Her brother Wang Tiao laughed unkindly. He was two years younger than wang li, and now he was just getting older. He also drank wheat milk powder and milk powder, and his head shot. Now he was two tofu taller than wang li.

Wang Li gritted his teeth and threatened, "Don't laugh. If you laugh again, I won't give you any pocket money."

The reason for the threat worked. Wang Tiao immediately closed his mouth. Pocket money was the most important thing. He laughed at his sister for returning to her room.

Li Haitang looked at their family laughing and making a scene especially warm, feeling a little envious in his heart, and said softly, "Wang Li, I think you should still be long. The physiological health teacher said that the size of children is related to the inheritance of their parents. Uncle and aunt are above average height, you will definitely not be short. In the future, you should eat less pickled vegetables and drink more bone soup, which is a thick soup made from the bones of a pig. After two or three months, you can definitely see the effect."

"Really?" Wang Li was a little unconvinced.

Li Haitang said seriously, "It's true that bone soup is more nutritious than pure meat and is more beneficial to the body's absorption. Bone soup is beneficial to the bone growth of young people, and it can also slow down the aging of the bones of the middle-aged and elderly people. Men, women, old and young should eat more. And there's a lot of calcium in the bones, no worse than the calcium tablets sold in the hospital."

Wang Li understood all this knowledge in the physical health class very quickly and admired her, "Haitang, I didn't expect you to be able to apply what you learned in the book to your life. You're a fast man. Do you often drink big bone soup?"

Li Haitang rubbed his nose and said jokingly, "It's not like you don't know what life I had in the li family. They ate meat, so naturally I only drank soup. In fact, soup is the most nutritious. I ate all the good things. They just don't know. Look at the size of me and Li Ting. She's less than a year younger than me, but she's half a head shorter than me."

Wang Li smiled awkwardly, then jokingly changed the subject, "So will our family. You all eat meat and leave the soup for me."

"Second sister, that's what you said. Don't say I stole your meat." Little brother Wang Tiao immediately shrieked. There was nothing he could do. He was at the age of changing his voice. His voice was strange.

Wang Li glared at him fiercely, put a piece of chicken in his bowl, gritted his teeth and said, "Eat your food, it will kill you."

Li Haitang smiled softly as he watched the two of them laughing. She had been with Li Tao for more than ten years at the li family, but he had never treated her like a sister. Every time he met her, he would frown and frown, but he did not speak as viciously as Deng Wenfang and Li Ting.

After dinner, Li Haitang followed Wang Li upstairs into her room. After chatting for a while, they began to study. They did not go to bed until ten o' clock.
