Chapter 23 Sister And Brother Enter the County

Chapter 23 sisters and brothers enter the county

The next day when he went to the wang family to help, Li Haitang and Duan Meifang asked for a day off. Duan Meifang naturally agreed.

In the past two days, Wang Yao had already rented a 100-square-meter shop in town and arranged for a simple renovation by the master. At home, Duan Meifang also hired a few sharp-tongued women to help out as apprentices. He planned to move to the shop as soon as the shop was finished. After all, the business was getting bigger and bigger, and he was still a little stuck at home.

In the afternoon, Li Haitang left early. She went to the town's supply and marketing agency and bought a large stack of stationery and ballpoint pens. She also bought some ribs and taros at the market. She planned to stew a taro rib soup tonight.

The sun was still very hot at three or four o' clock, and it was burning on her skin. After walking for thirty or forty minutes, she was sweating profusely and her face was hot and dry. When Li Haitang got home, he washed up with a basin of cold water, then sat under the ceiling fan and blew. After resting for a while, he went to the kitchen to make soup.

At dusk, Li Tao ran over excitedly. As soon as he entered the small yard, he smelled a delicious smell of meat and swallowed his saliva.

When he came in, Li Haitang heard footsteps. She looked up and saw that it was Li Tao. She also acutely caught the roll of his throat and laughed unkindly.

It was just as annoying as before. Li Tao said something in his heart and grinned at her a few times. Walking into the room, he put the draft he had taken last night back on his desk and said in an old voice, "Well written, keep working."

Li Haitang rolled his eyes and his men did not stop moving, "There's soup on the stove in the kitchen. Go and get two bowls."

"Whew!" Li Tao, who was still leaning against the desk, rushed out immediately. Don't blame him for being so greedy. The main reason was that his food had been too poor for the past month, and he was starting to grow up again. He ate more and was hungry faster.

The bowls in the eighties were really sea bowls. The bowls were worth two in the later generations. Li Haitang sat on the edge of the bed and ate a bowl. The only stool in the house was given to Li Tao.

After eating, Li Haitang remembered that he had received the notice today and asked casually, "What place did you get today?"

Li Tao's eyes flickered and he replied awkwardly, "Eighth place."

He used to fool around and not study hard, but he was always in the top five. Before this exam, it was a time of upheaval at home. His parents'divorce had a huge impact on him, especially the matter of his mother and sister, which made him very upset. He didn't pay attention during the exam and fell behind several places.

Li Haitang naturally guessed the reason and said calmly, "This summer vacation, if you have time, come over to my place to take lessons. Only when you have a good foundation, will it be easy to learn after junior high school."

"Okay."

"When you go to the county tomorrow, remember to tell dad to come as soon as possible. The bus to the county in town leaves at 7: 30." Li Haitang reminded him.

Li Tao smiled and said, "I told dad last night. He agreed. I'll call you at 6: 30 tomorrow morning. Dad should be back from work. I'm going back."

"Yes."

As soon as he left, Li Haitang went on writing and didn't rest until the branches of the moon.

The next morning, when Li Tao came to call her on time, Li Haitang just got up. She changed her clothes, washed her face, brushed her teeth, combed her hair, and left the house with her backpack when Li Tao reminded her the fifth time.

The morning sun was soft and warm, and the rice fields on both sides of the road were full of fruits. There was a slight chill on her face as the lake breeze blew. The occasional "Ding" of her bicycle added a sense of rhythm to the quiet morning.

On Li Tao's way to town, she rubbed her calloused ears, bought four large meat buns and two cups of soy milk from the roadside bun shop, gave half to Li Tao, and said in utter silence, "Why didn't I find you talking so much before?"

Li Tao took a vicious bite of the bun and retorted, "I didn't realize you were so slow before. I was afraid I would miss the time to get in the car, so I urged you to go faster."

Li Haitang rolled his eyes and opened his scar, "I've been walking this way for three years. I know how long it will take. Besides, when I was at your house, I used to get up at six o' clock every day. I needed to go out and cut two baskets of pig grass to come back. After breakfast, I walked over to school. I was never late."

As soon as he mentioned the past, Li Tao shut up. He would never admit that he was guilty.

After breakfast, he waited for a while on the side of the road before the bus came slowly.

Wang Yao and Duan Meifang were pushing two wheelbarrows over to deliver the goods. These days, they sent nearly 400 jin of peanut butter to the county every day through this morning bus. Brother duan came to pick up the goods in the county.

Li Haitang said hello to the couple and helped them move the peanut butter to the trunk of the bus. Then he took Li Tao to the car and bought the ticket with the conductor. After that, he found a seat by the window.

The bus started soon, and Li Haitang was not interested in the scenery outside, so he lazily leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. Li Tao, on the other hand, was very excited when he went out for the first time. He looked at everything strangely and craned his neck to look outside. He thought the car was very exciting and interesting.

When Li Haitang's ribs were shaking a little, the bus finally stopped at the entrance of the county bus station. After she got off with Li Tao, she warned, "Don't run around. Follow me closely. If you get separated, it's hard to find someone."

"Okay." Li Tao was a wild boy who ran all over the mountain in li family village. Now that he entered the city, he was somewhat restrained and nervous, and followed her step by step.

Brother duan had been waiting for the bus at the bus station for a long time. He didn't expect Li Haitang, who had met him last time, to come to the county again today. After they exchanged a few words and loaded the goods together, he invited, "Haitang, come to our house for lunch at noon."

Li Haitang joked, "Brother duan, we won't bother you and sister-in-law. I heard from sister-in-law mei fang that you two are so busy that you can't even eat."

"Haha, the first few days of making peanut butter were really too busy to eat, and they ate fast food outside every day. My parents have come over these days. My mom has helped us cook, and my dad has helped us do some business. I can do it now." Duan Meizhou smiled.

"That's good. My sister and brother won't be bothering me today. I want to take my brother to the county for a tour, and I want to go to the bookstore later." Li Haitang smiled.

"Okay. We've heard that you're the top student in the city in the middle school examination. Even li' er got into the County one middle school with your help. Your sister-in-law was at home a few days ago, nagging you to come over and play, and helping our two children with their homework." Duan Meizhou chatted with her as he pushed the tricycle out of the bus station.

Li Haitang smiled and said, "Okay, next time you come to the county to play, come visit you with Wang Li."

"Okay. Shao county and city are not very peaceful. There are a lot of idlers on the street. You two have to be careful. It's best to take a detour when you see someone like that so they don't have any ideas." Duan Meizhou reminded him.

Li Haitang said seriously, "Okay, thanks for reminding brother duan."

Li Tao, who was standing behind Li Haitang, had a serious look on his face. He had seen such punks in Ping shan town before. He knew that they could not be easily provoked, so he felt more nervous and nervous.

After separating from duan Meizhou, Li Haitang bought a map at a roadside shop and asked casually, "Li Tao, where do you want to go?"

Li Tao thought of his original intention of coming to the county, and touched his head with embarrassment. "I want to go to the cinema to watch a movie, and I want to go to the bookstore you said."

Li Haitang looked up and said with interest, "How did you know you could watch a movie in the cinema?"

Li Tao's eyes twinkled and said, "I, I heard from my classmates that his grandfather's family is very rich and lives in the county. His cousin took him to see it."

"Oh, I see. Let's go to a movie today." Li Haitang was not very interested in the red movies of this era, but he was still willing to satisfy his curiosity.

After inquiring about the location of the cinema from a shop owner, he took Li Tao there. There were several cinemas in the county, and the one closest to them was the best. It took less than ten minutes to walk there.

This cinema is called "Peace cinema." There is a ten-square-meter ticket office at the entrance of a three-story grand building. There are now a few people queuing up to buy tickets. There were many small business vendors at the entrance of the cinema, some selling cigarettes, alcohol, fruits, snacks, a lot of bicycle deliveries, and some selling women's hair ornaments and cosmetics.

Li Haitang went to buy two movie tickets. When he saw Li Tao looking at the advertisement drawing at the entrance of the cinema with an expression of "Finally seeing the world," he suddenly remembered what he said that day and joked, "Li Tao, is this what you call a tall building?"

Li Tao blushed, but nodded earnestly, "This is a tall building. It has three floors. The tallest house in our town is only two floors, and its appearance is far worse than this one."

"Well, there's a big difference between the two sides. It's a tall building. We've already bought the tickets for the movie. It's a martial arts movie at this time. It's a coincidence that we're here. Let's go in first." Li Haitang smiled and said, this martial arts film was shot by actors from Port city, and the male and female lead are the future international stars.

Li Tao's eyes lit up and followed Li Haitang in briskly.

It was a little dark in the cinema. Li Haitang pulled his sleeve and walked forward. After taking him to his seat, he took two white rabbit candies and gave them to him.

Li Tao watched as people walked in from the gate. After about five minutes, he asked softly, "Sister hoi tong, when does the movie start?"

Li Haitang said faintly, "It's nine o' clock sharp. It should be a few minutes away. Let's wait."

When she first bought the tickets, the conductor said that the movie was very popular, and the tickets had been sold a few days earlier, leaving only the last two tickets. It was a coincidence that she came. She glanced at the two empty seats next to her and guessed that the time was not up yet.

Just as she was studying the map of the county with her head down, a deep, slightly magnetic voice suddenly sounded above her head, sounding a little familiar, "Hello, please make way for us a little. Our position is inside."
