Chapter 149 Li Jianguo Liu Fen's marriage
The next morning, before dawn, Li Haitang, who was asleep, vaguely heard the sound of footsteps in the room. She got up from the bed, turned on the light, tied up her hair casually, and opened the door. It was Li Tao who was busy in the kitchen.
She glanced at her watch and walked over with narrowed eyes. Her voice was a little soft and fuzzy, "Li Tao, why are you up so early? The bus to the county is at 7: 00. It's only after 5: 00."
"Sister hoi tong, I woke you up. I know the bus leaves at seven. I just went to the market and bought a chicken. I want to stew it and bring it to my sister."
Seeing that he was sweating so early in the morning and was still bringing a chicken to stew for li ting, Li Haitang felt a strong shock somewhere in his heart. He pursed his lips and walked over to take the knife in his hand, "I'll chop it for you. Go and get the lotus seeds and dates ready."
"Okay."
After stewing the chicken in the pot, Li Haitang chopped up the ribs that he had not eaten yesterday. Li Tao came over and asked, "Sister hoi tong, what are you doing?"
"Why don't you make another sweet and sour pork chop and bring it with you later?"
Li Tao's eyes lit up and said happily, "Okay."
It was 6: 50, and it was dawn. The sound of bicycles on the street outside was incessant. Li Haitang helped him pack the two dishes in large enamel boxes and put them in a cloth bag. Then he filled the house with a lot of sweets and biscuits. "Okay, just pack so much. It's almost time. Go and sit in the car. Remember to buy some buns to eat in the car."
"Okay, I'll go first." Li Tao carried his schoolbag and cloth bag and left quickly.
After a busy morning, she was sweating all over. Before she could wash and brush her teeth, she simply went into the bathroom to take a bath. After changing his clothes, he drank a bowl of unfinished chicken soup, went downstairs to the wang family to say hello to Wang Li, and then rode his bicycle back to Lee ka tsuen.
"Hey, Li Haitang, why are you here so early?" Li Yongchun, who had just entered the village and was about to help his mother work in the fields with a hoe, walked towards her.
"It's still early. If the sun doesn't shine, I'll be here earlier." The bicycle stopped in front of him. Li Haitang stepped on the ground and asked, "Are you going to work in the field?"
"Yeah, my dad works in a cement factory too. My mom does all the farm work at home. It's hard to do farm work. I'll help."
Li Yongchun's mother walked a little behind him and saw her come over and chat with a smile on her face. "Haitang, you're here so early. Come and play at your aunt's house later."
"Okay, auntie, come and play later." After chatting with them for a while, she went off on her bicycle.
Looking at her back, Li Yongchun's mother pushed her son away and asked him about the news, "Yongchun, I heard that haitang's shops in the provincial capital are doing a great deal of business. You've been there several times. How much do you think she can earn in a year?"
Li Yongchun blinked and replied uncertainly, "It should be 35, 000, or 70, 000, or 100, 000."
"What's your answer? The difference between 30,000 and 100,000 is huge." She was dissatisfied with the answer.
Li Yongchun said helplessly, "Mom, I don't know either. It's just a guess. It should be about 50,000."
Based on his speculation, the topic of Li Haitang earning 50,000 a year spread like a hammer in Lee ka tsuen, even with the people of several nearby villages.
Li Haitang had a meal at aunt er zhu's house at noon. After finishing the village business, he went back at two o' clock when the sun was at its strongest. As soon as they arrived in town, the county bus came back.
"Li Tao!"
As soon as Li Tao got out of the car, he saw her standing not far away sweating and running over. "Sister hoi tong, did you just come back?"
"Yeah. It's too hot today. Go to the store and buy two bottles of iced soda to quench your thirst."
There was only a black and white tv set in this house in town, and it was also the second-hand tv set of the wang family. Li Tao usually showed it to him. There were no other appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines, etc.
When the two of them got home, they washed their faces before coming over for a cold soda. Li Haitang asked, "Is she okay in there? How long have we met?"
"Not bad. After seeing her for half an hour, she just finished the food she brought." Li Tao was in a good mood, and the two of them had a good time meeting today.
She was fine inside, and she didn't ask anything else. After drinking the soda, he slept in his room for a while, went out around four o' clock, and went to Mr. Tang's house again.
During her two years of schooling in tan city, she would call Mr. Tang every month, perhaps to send a letter, to the capital or Yangcheng, Hushi, and so on. She would always buy a gift for Mr. Tang and mail it back. There were never any festivals left behind. The gifts were not precious, but they always represented her feelings.
Seeing that she was carrying another big bag of things, Mr. Tang chuckled, "You have bought so many things. You haven't finished the last big bag of things you sent back from the capital."
Li Haitang chuckled, "Teacher, don't be reluctant to eat. It will go bad after a long time. I didn't bring anything to eat today. I bought some souvenirs from Hushi and zhe province for you to see."
"Oh, these things are good. The teacher likes to see them." Mr. Tang sat her down, poured her a cup of tea, smiled and asked, "Did you go out again after this summer vacation?"
"Yeah, I went to Hushi and West Lake for ten days with a few of my classmates at school and Wang Li." Li Haitang took the cup with a smile.
Mr. Tang sat down in the chair next to her and asked, "Did you bring any photos?"
"Hehe, I brought it. It's a big photo album. I brought it back specially for you to see." Li Haitang took out all the things in the bag. Besides the photo album, everything else was a gift for Mr. Tang.
The teachers and students gathered together and chatted as they watched until the door opened. Li Haitang looked up and saw that Liu Feng was back. He got up and smiled, "Deputy mayor liu, are you off work?"
"Oh, it's Li Haitang. Yeah, I just got back from work." Liu Feng put the briefcase on the cabinet next to him and unbuttoned his collar. Seeing that there were many beautiful things on the table, he smiled and said, "Is this another gift for your teacher?"
"Hehe, I brought some souvenirs and postcards when I went out to play. Mr. Tang liked these and sent them to her." Li Haitang smiled.
Liu Feng picked up the photo album and looked through it one by one. "Where is this?" It's so beautiful."
Li Haitang leaned over and introduced him, "This is the lei feng tower in West Lake, zhejiang province."
Liu Feng's eyes lit up. He sat down and quickly flipped through the pages.
Mr. Tang brought him a cup of tea, but he didn't say a word. Every time Li Haitang sent her these things, her family was happier than she was, and she was planning to travel and play in these places after she retired.
That night, unable to resist the enthusiasm of Mr. Tang and his wife, they had dinner at their house before returning home.
This time, he stayed in Ping shan town for a total of five days and returned to the provincial capital on august 29th. After a day's rest in the provincial capital, she hitched a ride back to tan city on august 31.
September 1st, the first semester of senior year officially begins.
Teacher Qin, the homeroom teacher, changed her usual gentle and gentle words. On the first day of school, she learned a task from Teacher Zhou. In an instant, she lifted the nervousness of the third year of senior high school, and all the students in the class unconsciously tightened their spirits and devoted themselves to their studies.
Li Jianguo knew that she was nervous about her studies, so he took care of everything in the shop and never bothered her.
This year, the three children in the family were all preparing for the exam. Li Haitang entered the third year of senior high school, Li Tao and Duan Jinqiao also entered the third year of junior high school. Although their grades were very good, as parents, they were still worried.
On september 18th, Li Jianguo and Liu Fen returned to Ping shan town to get their marriage certificate. On the 20th, the family of Mrs. Liu Fen came to the new house in her hometown to serve wine. Since both of them were married twice, it was not a big event, but it was also a rare lively banquet in the village.
It was saturday, and Duan Jinqiao and Li Tao were at home. They were still a little embarrassed about their new identity, but they were getting used to it.
The only one who didn't come back was Li Haitang, but she sent a gift to her second uncle in advance and asked him to pass it on.
After a simple wedding, Li Jiangang came up with the package and smiled. "Big brother, sister-in-law, haitang sent you a wedding gift and asked me to pass it to you."
Liu Fen was wearing a red dress and a light makeup today, looking a little younger than usual. He smiled gently and said, "Why is this child so polite? We have received a lot of gifts from her."
Li Jianguo reached out and took it, handed it to her, smiled and said, "Take the gift from haitang."
"Okay." With so many people watching, Liu Fen felt a little embarrassed and had to put it away.
Ouch, sister-in-law, look what haitang has given you. Let's open our eyes. "Zhao Chunhua's" sister-in-law" was a smooth cry. She had never been so warm to Deng Wenfang before. After all, this new sister-in-law was a real person. She had given them a lot of things when she came back a few days ago. She had both adults and children, and she had a big red envelope.
Li Jiangang turned and glanced at her, but did not say anything. As long as she did not do something embarrassing, he was usually very tolerant of her.
The neighbors in the village who came to drink the wedding wine were staring at the small package in her hand, including her mother's brother, sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law. Liu Fen smiled gently and had to open it in front of everyone.
"Oh, there are two more. Is this a jewelry box?" Zhao Chunhua, who was closest to him, had sharp eyes.
It was indeed a jewelry box. Liu Fen opened a small, translucent jade bracelet on top of it. She was shocked. The others also widened their eyes and exclaimed in unison, "This is a jade bracelet!"
After the surprise, Liu Fen's old mother smiled comfortably. The youngest daughter's first marriage was not unhappy, but it was too short and bitter for a long time. She was always worried that the second marriage would be a little unhappy, but now it seems that her old lady was worried for nothing.
Zhao Chunhua's eyes were brighter than a light bulb, but she wasn't that stupid to make up her mind here. Besides, she knew that some ideas couldn't be made, so she looked at Liu Fen with envy. This new sister-in-law is not even a stepmother. Li Haitang is really nice to her.
When the jade bracelet came out, not only the adults were shocked, but also many children were shocked. It was their first time seeing jade. Li Haitang was so rich and generous.
"Jianguo, haitang this gift is too expensive, look at this..." Liu Fen was very happy, but still felt that this gift was too expensive.
Li Jianguo took a few deep breaths. He knew what Li Haitang meant by giving such an expensive gift. His voice was a little choked, "Take it and put it on your hand."
Liu Fen pursed his lips and smiled. Listening to him, he put the jade bracelet on his wrist. The size was just right. It was not loose or tight.
"Fen, look at the second box." Sister Liu Fen was more curious about the second box, which was even bigger.
