Chapter 41

On August 20, Li's two eldest daughters and eldest son-in-law returned to their parents' home early, waiting for the Cheng family to come to propose marriage.

The Cheng family arranged for Cheng Bin's parents, elder brother and sister-in-law and Cheng Bin's second aunt, who came to propose a marriage together, bringing cigarettes, wine, gift strips, meat and cloth.

Although both men and women are in love with each other, there is no matchmaker and it is not good-looking. Cheng Bin's second aunt acted as the matchmaker.

The marriage of Cheng bin and Li MINGYE was originally based on the disagreement of both parents. However, the two children were willing, so we had to give in. Besides, Cheng bin really found a job. Although he was not decent enough to work as a small worker in a distillery, he also found a job, which met the requirements put forward by the Li family.

Aunt Cheng is also a straightforward person. In a few words, she has decided on the date of her marriage. She also guarantees that the three major items will be fully equipped. She also says that she will let her two children buy by themselves in a few days The two elders of the Li family are not unreasonable people. The men have said so, and they have nothing to pick on.

The day was set for next month, September 16.

When the Cheng family left and the Li family came back, they felt that the days were too tight. It was less than a month.

"Is it too urgent to book the day?" The most painful thing for grandfather Li is the fourth daughter. It's not very good to think that the fourth is going to get married soon.

"Well, women don't want to stay. They stay here and there and become enemies If she wants to marry, she can't stay sooner or later. " Although Granny Li was reluctant to part with her, she was not the first girl to get married, and her mentality had been relaxed for a long time.

"It's a busy farming day. I have to buy a dowry for the leaves as soon as I'm finished."

In the next few days, the Li family was busy with the autumn harvest. Several daughters and son-in-law came back to help. Even Cheng bin came There is no way to do it. The Li family has no male laborers, so they have to rely on their daughter-in-law to help them when they are busy farming.

As for Li Hongwei, his family dotes on him. He is so old, but he has never been to the field. Not only is he, but also Li Mingli. These two little ones are the most favored in the whole family. They were also young, and adults did not expect them to work in the field. What's more, Li Mingli still has to go to work, and the work at home is not really done by nobody, not to mention her.

But Li Hongwei was not idle. As early as August 15, he made an appointment with Mei Xiaoran to buy a bicycle for his young lady during the autumn vacation.

In the evening, Li and ran Mei held a fluorescent lamp for the next day.

It turns out that Mei Xiaoran's idea is to let him dig scorpions together.

Kangping County belongs to the basin, surrounded by mountains. Although summer has passed, it is not the best time to catch scorpions, but the weather is still very hot, and there are still many wild scorpions out there.

Seeing the lamp in Mei Xiaoran's hand, Li Hongwei is still a little confused, "what are you doing with this?"

"Uncle, you'll find out in a moment."

Li Hongwei stares at her one eye, "with younger brother-in-law still mystify?"

"Brother in law, you should put on your gloves first, and don't let the scorpion sting you in time."

"Can I not know? I'll tell you. "

Mei Xiaoran is definitely not good at finding scorpions, but Li Hongwei is not the same. Boys seem to be born good at finding these snakes, insects, rats and ants. He soon finds the wet shady place where scorpions are easy to stay.

Mei Xiaoran turned on the fluorescent lamp in her hand. When she looked at the wetland, she showed the scorpion's body shape Li Hongwei was stunned by this magical operation, "Ran Ran Ran, how did you do it?"

"Uncle, get the scorpion into the glass bottle."

Under the command of Mei Xiaoran, Li Hongwei quickly took out the clip and caught the scorpion, which appeared in its original form but was like being nailed to the ground, and put it into the glass bottle prepared in advance.

When Li Hongwei successfully catches and installs the scorpion, Mei Xiaoran tells him that the scorpion is sensitive to light, and it will show its original shape when illuminated with ultraviolet lamp. This will make it easier to grasp and less dangerous.

"High, really high!"

Li Hongchuan couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his niece. "How do you know how to catch scorpions like this?"

"I also listen to others say, want to have a try, did not expect to be really like this."

Mei Xiaoran didn't mean to tell my brother-in-law that there were more people using this method to catch scorpions in later generations, but now the material is too underdeveloped. Many people don't know how to use ultraviolet light in fluorescent lamps to capture scorpion, a sensitive poisonous insect.

With the help of fluorescent lamps, it is much easier to catch scorpions.

Li's nest was filled for two hours. She was responsible for looking after the bottle for two hours.

Li Hongwei is still reluctant to leave. He has such a good weapon for catching scorpions. I'm sorry not to catch more scorpions. But Mei Xiaoran said to him, "uncle, can you catch all the scorpions? Tomorrow, we will continue to catch up. Anyway, there are so many holiday days. If we take this harvest, I'm sure I can save money for my aunt

"All right, I'll do it."

Li Hongwei and Mei Xiaoran reluctantly go back.

He sent Mei Xiaoran to Dongguan. He went back to Beiguan and poured out two glass bottles of scorpions at home. It was a full kilogram and a half, which made him very happy.Scorpion has always been a precious traditional Chinese medicine. The purchase price of a catty of scorpion is 10 yuan. This evening, he earned 15 yuan. If he had not weighed it personally, Li Hongwei did not expect that the spoils were so rich.

The next day, Li Hongwei went to the drugstore early in the morning to sell the scorpion and got 15 yuan. He couldn't keep his mouth shut. Happily ran to find Mei Xiaoran.

"Ran Ran, Ran Ran Ran..."

Mei Xiaoran has just had breakfast. Seeing her brother-in-law running, she knows why. "Uncle, did you sell the scorpion?"

"One and a half catties, fifteen yuan, fifteen yuan!"

This is the first time that Li Hongwei has made so much money seriously for such a long time. He is so excited that he has no idea that Ran Ran Ran should make so much money.

In the past summer, he did not catch scorpions, but scorpions are not easy to catch. They like to hide under bluestone slabs, haunt places with damp backlight, and sting people. Sometimes only five or seven were caught in one night, and only two or two times were caught. It was like last night that he caught so many at once. He was happy and crazy.

"Ran Ran, we still go in the evening."

Mei Xiaoran couldn't help staring at him. "Uncle, can you keep a low profile? Who else do you want to catch me

"I see. I'm quiet."

Li Hongwei's words in the end also startled Mei Xiaolei. Mei Xiaolei, after knowing this, pestered Li Hongwei and Mei Xiaoran, "you have to take me when you go to catch scorpions in the evening, or I will tell my mother and tell my grandmother."

"Mei Xiaolei, you traitor

Although Li Hongwei scolded, he was also very happy in his heart. One more person could bring more bottles. Last night, he was just trying a little knife. Tonight, he will show his skill.
