Chapter 200 blackens new heights

The next morning, everyone finished their breakfast together. Except for a few veterans from other cities who had been hired, they went to the bus station by themselves and all took the truck back. This time, they drove two cars back home, Li Jianguo and the Li Jiangang brothers, plus Wang Yao's car, and the three cars were full to go home.

The seats in front were given to a few women and girls, while the well-built Li Haitang and Li Yongchun were still sitting in the back of the car, with thick cotton pads under their buttocks, not feeling any ice at all, and the others continued the interesting things that they had not finished yesterday.

This year's team was even bigger than last year's. When they were in Ping shan town, more than half of the workers came home with their own luggage. The others continued to drive back to Lee ka tsuen, just in time for the warm lunch at home.

Zhao Chunhua and Lu Hongyu's sister-in-law were still preparing dinner at home. This year, Zhao Chunhua generously invited them to dinner and even killed chickens and ducks. At the beginning of this year, Li Lan was found back. Although her story had been told in her hometown for a long time, it was a good thing that Li Lan had changed. After that, she brought a lot of children from the village to do business and earn money.

Li Haitang also admired Li Lan. She had been wearing bracelets and necklaces for a whole year. After listening to her second uncle say that besides the daily expenses, she still saved 1,500 yuan. She also decided not to sell it next year. She planned to open a small shop in the provincial capital to sell all kinds of accessories, bags and so on.

She became so motivated, and she had a good idea. The whole family supported her so much that even the children in the family were willing to use their hard-earned money to help her open a shop.

Li Lan was sensible. Although Li Ya and Li Hui had average grades, they were also very sensible. They could help her do a lot of work at home and earn money during the winter and summer holidays. Zhao Chunhua was very comfortable now. This year, she earned nearly two thousand yuan for raising sheep at home, plus Li Jiangang earned more than two thousand yuan outside, and her family became prosperous. All of this had something to do with Li Haitang, so she rarely came back, so she naturally treated her generously and politely.

The situation in his third uncle's family was similar. Lu Hongyu raised three cows at the beginning of the year, and all of them were released at the end of the year, earning more than a thousand yuan. Having tasted the sweetness, he immediately asked someone to widen the house and buy two more cattle. He also planned to buy a few more when Li Jianhua came back to raise them.

After lunch, the family cleaned up at home and went to town together in the afternoon. Liu Fen and the others went to buy new year's goods, while Li Haitang went back to his house. Now that Li Tao was studying in the County one middle school and no one was living at home, a thick layer of dust had fallen down. He went downstairs to the wang family and took a bucket of hot water. He wiped the inside and outside of the house with a rag. The floor was also clean.

It took more than an hour to finish. When they reached the town and saw that they had not finished buying, they greeted everyone and went to the market to weigh five kilograms of meat and two big grass carp. They went to Mr. Tang's house to pay their new year's greetings in advance.

Seeing this big black girl who hadn't seen her for half a year, even Mr. Tang laughed happily. It was so dark that it was even darker than cutting pig grass at home.

Mr. Tang was ranked as an excellent teacher at the city level this year, and of course it was related to her, the provincial top liberal arts teacher. During military training, when she went out to make a phone call, the teacher told her about this happy event.

After sitting at Mr. Tang's house for half an hour, he left and went to Li Jianhong's shop to play. Zhou Chunxing and Li Tao took the middle school examination together. She got into a secondary school and studied accounting. She was in the same school as Li Yongchun's sister, li yongqing. After the winter break, instead of going to the provincial capital to play, she came straight back to help her mother with her business.

Li Jianhong had a phone installed in the store, which was convenient to purchase goods from the provincial capital, and also convenient to contact the three brothers who worked in the provincial capital. When Li Haitang saw the phone, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't called Jiang Chuheng, so he borrowed the phone.

"Hello, who is it?" After the call was connected, a voice of a woman with some vicissitudes came from the opposite side.

"Hello, auntie. I'm Li Haitang. I'm looking for Jiang Chuheng. Is he home?" Li Haitang wasn't sure if this was his mother.

It wasn't Chu Hongmei who answered the phone, but Auntie wu, the nanny at home. She smiled and said, "Hello, chu heng is at home. Please wait a moment." She put down the phone and shouted upstairs, "Chu heng, your friend Li Haitang is calling for you."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Jiang Chuheng was talking to Chu Xiaoman in the room. When he heard Auntie wu's voice, he immediately got up and went downstairs.

"Haitang, are you back home now, or are you in the provincial capital?" Jiang chu heng answered the phone with a smile in his eyes. In the past six months, they didn't pass a single call. He was free, but li haitang was not free. They only passed two letters.

"I went back to my hometown this morning."

Jiang chuheng asked with a smile, "Listen to dong ming. Are you a black girl now?"

"Oh, don't do that, okay? Everyone said the same thing the first time they saw me. When I came back, I had been given many nicknames related to black. When the rest of the six months of military training are over, I promise to cover my room for two months and restore my beauty!" Li Haitang was so angry that his stomach hurt. Zhou Chunxing had been laughing for a long time just now.

"Haha, bai fumei? You are not white now. I heard that money is gone. As for beauty, black people are usually not beautiful." Jiang Chuheng was imagining what she was like. He really wanted her to be rich and beautiful.

Li Haitang gritted his teeth and complained, "I just can't figure it out. You're still training every day. Even though it's a little darker than Dongming and yue yang, you still look healthy. Why am I as black as coal after military training?"

Yesterday, Li Tao also said that if she walked on the road at night, she could only see her eyes moving. At that time, a group of people laughed.

Jiang Chuheng thought she was about the same color as herself, but now she looked a little darker. She laughed happily. "Haha, no wonder Dongming was so happy when he came back to tell me about this. I really wanted to see what you look like. I should have let him take a picture of you."

She gritted her teeth again and pursed her lips, "We still have six months of military training. You will come to the military academy next summer to pick me up, so that you can see what new heights I have taken."

"Okay." Jiang Chuheng agreed immediately. He was really planning to pick her up at the academy.

"I asked Wang Li to help me mail the wax a while ago. Did you get it?" After learning from last year's lesson, Li Haitang made plans early this year to send over a hundred kilograms of wax to them and let them share it by themselves.

"I received it the day before yesterday. Yesterday, I called Dongming and Yunyang to come over and split them up. Yue yang didn't come back this year for the new year, but he also sent a copy to his family."

Li Haitang smiled and said, "Okay, if you don't have enough, I'll mail you some more. My classmate's house still has a lot of stock."

"That's enough for now. I'll get it from you when I'm done." Each family was divided into more than 30 catties, many varieties, each of which only a few catties on average, but it was enough to eat for a period of time.

The two of them talked about other things for more than ten minutes, and didn't hang up until Li Tao called her.

This year, the chinese new year was almost the same as last year. The only difference was that the second uncle's family had demolished and rebuilt the livestock sheds. He planned to raise more sheep next year, and his family still had a mother sheep, so he didn't worry about lambs.

Many households in the village also began to raise cattle and sheep under their leadership. There were also several households that chose to raise pigs. In short, each family now lived a better life than the previous few years.

These days, Li Haitang insisted on washing his face with rice water, hoping to wash off the thick cuticles and turn white. After washing her face for three or four days, on the morning of new year's eve, she walked up to Duan Jinqiao and said, "Jin qiao, take a closer look at my face. Is it whiter?"

Duan Jinqiao stared at her closely with large eyes, and his face was full of surprise, "Eh, it's really whiter. Although it's not obvious yet, this rice washing water really works."

"Heh heh, then I'll keep washing. Maybe I'll recover half of it when I get back to school."

When she and Jiang Chuheng came back from the phone call, she took the mirror and looked at it carefully. It was really dark. She felt darker than her father's face, so she decided to go white.

Her mind kept searching for ways to wash her face with rice water, and then she used honey and egg white every day to apply her face. Although it was a little dark now, her skin was very good, very smooth and tight.

"It works. I'll use your method when I get sunburned during the summer vacation." Duan Jinqiao was pale and didn't look much like aunt Fen. She should look like her father.

"In summer, you can also use cucumbers as a mask. Cut the cucumbers into thin slices and stick them on your face. The cucumber mask works very well. You can try it then." Li Haitang likes to make cucumber masks, which are cheap, natural and safe, of course, referring to the cucumbers that he grows at home now.

Duan Jinqiao was skeptical about this method and only wanted to try it again. Cucumbers don't cost money anyway. As for whether it works or not, we'll see.

Li Haitang had been running every morning for the past few days, visiting every house during the day, and tutoring Li Tao at night.

This year, Li Yongchun's family did not kill the new year pig. His mother went to the provincial city to help him manage the store. He opened a stationery store. After all, there was a school nearby, and he was able to get in the cheap goods, and the business was still barely strong. Besides the winter and summer holidays, he and his father usually worked in the store and earned about the same.

Many people in the village have pigs at home, and pork is not difficult to buy. Li Jianguo weighed 30 pounds of meat in several families that raised new year pigs this year. He planned to take all the unfinished meat to the provincial capital after all, there are nearly 30 people living there every day.

Soon, it was the day before the new year, just like last year, when the dumplings came together, the whole family was very busy. This year, every family in the village began to make dumplings, but the dumplings were still only made by the li family. No one else could. They just waited until the third day of the junior year to eat at the li family.

This year's spring festival is still the same as last year. The first three families take turns to eat. The second year goes to tan city to pay new year's greetings to the Liu family. The third year's family holds a banquet to entertain guests. The fourth day goes to visit some relatives.

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, Li Haitang went to have a party with Lin Peipei and the others after the shop set off firecrackers.
