Chapter 88 To Meet A Fellow Villager

Chapter 88 meeting a fellow villager

Duan Meifang picked up a piece of braised meat for Li Haitang and smiled until his eyes curved. "Haitang, are you free before school starts? Can you accompany us to Yangcheng? Sister-in-law thinks that although you are young, you are much more knowledgeable than us. She feels that you have the confidence to follow us and go out."

"Poof!" Li Haitang was amused by her and said jokingly, "Sister-in-law, when I hear you say this, why do I feel like a thug and bodyguard?"

"Haha... Haha..." This time, Wang Li was really laughing until there was only one tear left in his eyes.

Duan Meifang laughed, too, "Don't be surprised that sister-in-law can't talk. Neither your brother yao nor I have been to Yangcheng. We are not familiar with that place. I heard that it is quite chaotic there. We are afraid that people will kill us if we don't know each other well. That's why sister-in-law wants to take you, who often goes abroad, with us."

Li Haitang was actually joking with her. She calculated the time in her mind and arranged, "The school starts on the 16th of the first month. I plan to return to tan city on the eighth of the first month. Then you two can go with me. Go to the provincial city on the ninth day, go to Yangcheng on the tenth or eleventh day, and come back before the lantern festival. How about that?"

"Yes, that's settled. During the first month of the month, the business of the food factory is very cold. We can leave anytime." With her accompanying him, Duan Meifang had no worries at all.

Wang Tiao, who had already eaten two bowls of rice, pleaded pitifully, "Can you take me to play? I haven't left Shaoxian yet." He and Li Tao had a good relationship. Every time they came back from tan city to talk about something new outside, he yearned for it.

"What are you going to do? Your brother and sister-in-law are going to do business." Wang Li's father glared at him.

Wang Tiao paid no attention to his harmless eyes and cast his eyes on his sister-in-law. He knew that her position in the family was higher. "Sister-in-law, take me to play. I can help you carry your luggage as a laborer."

Duan Meifang smiled and said, "Okay, that's what you said. You will be responsible for helping sister-in-law. If you are lazy and cunning, I won't take you out to play next time."

"Sister-in-law, I promise I won't. I will listen to you. If you tell me to go east, I won't go west. If you tell me to go forward, I won't take half a step back." Wang Tiao immediately patted his chest to assure him that the joy in his little eyes was almost overflowing.

Wang li rolled her eyes and spat, "Our family has a brown-noser!"

Wang Tiao ignored her and looked at Li Haitang again. She smiled and said, "Sister haitang, you can take Li Tao too. We are just friends. He can help you carry your luggage."

"If he wants to go, he will come back before the lantern festival. It won't delay your school." Both of them had improved in their grades this semester, so Li Haitang naturally wouldn't hold them back. Besides, she also thought that boys should go out and see more.

Wang Tiao didn't even have to think about it to guess that he would definitely go. He laughed so happily and hummed a tune out of tune.

After dinner at the wang family, everyone sat by the stove and watched tv. The tv was playing jiayu international investment's "Nine swords' thrill." The acting skills of the male and female lead actors are really speechless. The setting and special effects are also the best in this era. This martial arts film immediately received the highest ratings after it was broadcast, and almost every household is chasing it.

Auntie wu prepared some hot dishes in the evening. Chu Xiaoman personally made a braised pork trotter. Jiang Chuqi fried several plates of chicken wings, chicken legs and chips for everyone. At this time, they were watching tv while eating. The atmosphere was especially warm and harmonious.

After the first episode ended, Jiang Chuqi asked, "Chu heng, is this tv series written by your little writer friend?"

Jiang chuheng nodded. His eyes, which were staring at the television screen, shone with a strange light, "Yes, this is the first part of the contract. Both of these actors have excellent acting skills and good looks. They have a lot of influence in Port city. This martial arts film will definitely go viral."

"It's a really good film in china." Jiang Chuqi had already put down his chopsticks and fed the two nephews chicken and rice with ketchup alone.

"Port city's development in movies and tv dramas has surpassed that of the mainland by a large margin. Regardless of directors, actors, screenwriters, supervisors, and various behind-the-scenes personnel, they have worked very hard. In this industry, they have contributed a lot to this wave of people and have achieved a lot of classic works." Over the past few years, many classic hong kong movies have been introduced into the mainland one after another, and their popularity far exceeds everyone's imagination.

After watching the second episode, Li Haitang received a wave of compliments from the wang family and went back upstairs to his own home. After pouring hot water to wash his face and feet, he went to bed.

The next day, she slept in, got up, cleaned up the house, and went downstairs to eat a bowl of wonton on the street in town. Then he borrowed the wang family's bicycle, bought a large box of meat dishes in the market, and rode it back to Lee ka tsuen.

When Li Haitang went over, the li family's father and son were busy, and seven or eight neighbors were helping to move the red bricks. She raised her voice and shouted, "Dad, Li Tao, I'm back."

Li Jianguo was working in his old cotton-padded jacket. Hearing her voice, he immediately put down the red brick in his hand and smiled, "Haitang, you're back."

"Well, I came back yesterday afternoon." Li Haitang parked his bike in front of li erzhu's house next door, walked over and politely called out to the elders before continuing to talk to Li Jianguo, "Dad, did these red bricks just come over?"

"Yes, I called my third brother and asked him to book it in the brick factory. The bricks that have been stacked over there were delivered yesterday. These were just delivered, and five tractors will be delivered this morning." Li Jianguo was wearing a pair of white cotton gloves and was picking up the scattered red bricks.

Li Haitang nodded and invited so many people to work, so she stopped to join the fun and asked, "Dad, I bought some food back. Did I cook at my own house to entertain everyone?"

"No. Even though the kitchen in the backyard has been trimmed, it is still not strong enough to cook. Besides, we don't grow any vegetables and we don't have any vegetables to eat at home, so I've invited your aunt er zhu to help us prepare food at her house these days. Take the food you bought to her house." It was inconvenient for a woman to run the house, so she had to ask for help.

"Oh, okay, then I'll go over there and help with the cooking." Li Haitang turned around and wheeled his bike into the yard next door.

Li erzhu was also helping with the work. He smiled innocently and said, "Jianguo, you have raised a good daughter. Now the villagers envy you."

Li Jianguo smiled and accepted his compliment. If there was no daughter in the family who had "Broken off the relationship," the father and son would not know how many years they would have to endure to get through it.

"Jianguo, uncle Fugui and his wife came back two months ago. They pushed down the old house and built a red brick house on the original foundation. They said that the whole family would come back for the new year." Li erzhu began to chat with him.

"Are they coming back?" Li Jianguo paused and frowned slightly.

Li erzhu shook his head, "No. Both of his sons and daughters-in-law have jobs in the provincial capital, so it's impossible to come back. This year, they came back to rebuild the old house, just to have a place to live when they came back to pay respects to their ancestors on qingming festival."

"Oh, haitang's mother shouldn't be coming back, right?" When Li Jianguo asked this question, his eyes shone with an impenetrable light.

Li erzhu didn't notice his eyes and shook his head, "She won't come back. Only uncle Fugui and his wife will come back with their two sons."

Li Jianguo covered his eyelids again to hide the unknown emotions inside, and said in a faint tone, "Come back when you come back. Just walk around like an ordinary neighbor. Anyway, haitang is living in town now. They don't want to recognize her, so let them be strangers to each other."

Li Tao, who was not far away, heard their conversation and looked a little pale. He curled his mouth and continued to work.

After Li Haitang moved a large basket of meat dishes into aunt er zhu's kitchen, he took a bench and sat down to help her choose the dishes. While chatting with her, he also heard from her that the Li Fugui family was coming back for the new year.

Aunt er zhu was a very hardworking woman. She usually didn't like to talk to people. She used to take care of Li Haitang a lot. When she talked about this, she couldn't help but care, "Haitang, your grandfather and family are coming back. What are your plans?"

Li Haitang's hand did not stop moving. She smiled and said, "Auntie er zhu, you're wrong. I don't have a grandfather. Their family has nothing to do with me. It's none of my business whether they come back or not."

Auntie er zhu understood what she meant and smiled lovingly. "Ah, that's fine. You are a capable child. You have good grades and earn a lot of money. You don't need to be involved with them. It's good to live a quiet life."

"Well, let's not talk about them anymore. It's 28 today. Why haven't brother yong and sister-in-law come back yet?" Li yong was the eldest son of aunt erzhu. Two years ago, he took his wife and went to work with the young people in the village. The two children stayed at home to be taken care of by the old couple.

Aunt er zhu laughed and said, "They called Yuanhua's house yesterday and said they won't be home until tomorrow morning. They won't be home until tomorrow afternoon."

Oh, it's not easy to come back. There are a lot of trains going around. Are brother yong and sister-in-law still working in the shoe factory? How's the salary?" There was a young man in the village who went to the south first. He went to a large shoe factory and made a lot of money. When he came back, he brought a group of villagers over.

"Yes, it's still in that shoe factory. This year, yong zi learned how to drive and helped deliver goods in the factory. He also earned a lot of money, which was 120 per month. Her wife, qiuping, is quick at work and doesn't talk too much. Her supervisor likes her very much. This year, she was transferred to a position to say what kind of quality inspection she is doing. The work at hand is much easier, and her salary has increased. It's 100 a month." Speaking of shangjin's son and daughter-in-law, aunt er zhu narrowed her eyes with a smile.

Li Haitang also laughed and praised, "Brother yong and sister-in-law qiuping are really good. The two of them earn $ 220 a month, and the factory provides food and accommodation. They usually don't spend much money. It's not a problem to save $ 2,000 a year."

"Yes, both of them are very thrifty. They send money back on time every month so that our old couple can save it. Their two children can't spend much money on school. Our old couple are still healthy. You and Uncle Zhu usually go to town with the villagers to earn a little money. The family expenses are enough, but you still have to save some money to build a house for Rongzi's wife."

Aunt er zhu was talking when a noise came from the next hall. She looked out and saw that her younger son was back. She greeted him, "Rongzi, come here. Haitang is here."

A tall boy in a brown mid-length cotton suit came to his eyes in the blink of an eye and greeted him with a smile, "Haitang, when did you come back?"

"Brother Rongzi, long time no see. I just came back." Li Haitang found some fragments in the memory of the original owner. This Li Rong was one year older than her. When she was young, she was especially mischievous and often bullied her mischievously. But he had no bad intentions. When he saw Li Ting bullying Li Haitang, he often secretly helped her.

"It's been a long time. I've been back for the past two summers and winters, but I've missed the time when I came back with you. I've been wanting to talk to you for a long time, and I finally got a chance today." Li Rong took a low bench from a pile of firewood and sat down, looking like he was going to have a long talk with her.

Aunt er zhu nudged her son with her elbow and said with a smile, "Rongzi, go make a cup of tea for haitang first and chat while drinking it. Mom has been choosing dishes here for a while. Her hands are dirty with mud. She hasn't even gone to make tea to greet her."

"Okay. By the way, haitang, my classmate gave me a bottle of honey. It's very sweet to soak in water. Do you want to drink it?" Li Rong didn't like it himself and brought it back during the holidays, but his parents didn't like it, so they had to keep it in the cupboard.

"Yes, I like honey water. Just put a spoonful of honey in it." Today's honey is pure earth honey, which is her favorite.

Li Rong smiled and said, "Okay. My classmate raised bees at home. He gave me a big bottle. No one in our family likes to drink. If you like it, take it with you later."

"Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Li Rong took a large enamel cup and made a big glass for her. She put it on the kitchen cabinet next to her to cool down. Then she sat back on the bench and took the initiative to chat with her, "Haitang, I heard you got into the Tam city 1 middle school a long time ago. Your grades are very good. It's not a problem to get into a good university, is it?"

Li Haitang smiled so much that his eyes and brows were bent, and he said confidently, "It's just college. Of course, it's not a problem."

"Hehe, with so much confidence, it seems that the college acceptance letter is a foregone conclusion." Li Rong smiled and then talked about something else, "I just went to Li Yongchun's house. We just mentioned you. That guy made a lot of money at school in the second half of this year and said he would treat you to dinner when you came back."

Li Haitang's eyes lit up and he smiled, "It seems that the idea I gave him last time we met worked."

"Yeah, I went to a technical secondary school not far from his school. He pulled me to do business with him. He made a few hundred dollars in the past six months, but we sell different things. He mainly sells stationery. I sell tapes." Although the two schools were different, their majors were the same, both mechanical.

"That's great. Let's go play with him after lunch. We haven't seen him for half a year. Let's get together." Li Haitang now likes to chat with his peers and finds it interesting to learn about other people's interesting lives.

Li Rong raised his eyebrows and said, "Let me go and call him out. Let him come to my house for lunch. You know, his mother is a little... That."

"You child..." Auntie er zhu gave him a sidelong glance, but said nothing.

Li Haitang smiled knowingly and nodded, "All right, go get him. My bike is outside. You can pick him up now."

"Okay." Li Rong immediately got up and left.

"Yongchun is a good boy. He's not like his parents. Most of the money he earns at school has been remitted back, but he's living frugally outside. He's very generous to his younger brother and sister. Although his mother's mouth was a little broken and she had a lot of eyes and hearts, she was a hardworking and simple person, much better than Deng Wenfang." Auntie er zhu was telling the truth.
