Chapter 193 High School
high school
There are two meat and two vegetables on the table, plus a pot of corn dregs porridge, and a bottle of white wine contributed by Li Xiaoyu.
Yang Kaiwen burst into laughter when he saw Baijiu: "Hahaha, I can finally drink two glasses today, it's really rare to have wine and meat.
You don't even know, it's too difficult to buy some meat now, and sometimes even refined grains are not available. When buying food, let Qin Mei take you to get acquainted with it. When the day comes, you have to queue up early, and you can't buy anything if you are late. "
Li Xiaoyu thought that if you line up to buy food, you have to line up at midnight. If you go late, you really won't be able to buy anything. I didn't expect her to experience the taste of queuing up to buy food so early.
A table of people ate happily and drank happily. After the meal, the two adults sat at the table and continued to chat, while Li Xiaoyu sat outside the door to listen to Yang Kaiwen talking about the situation in the county.
I learned from Yang Kaiwen's words that the county's food shortage is also very large. The current supply of grain is ten catties less than before, so sometimes it is not available. Most of them are coarse grains, and even wheat skins.
Li Xiaoyu knows that this situation will become more and more serious with the hot weather, and it cannot be changed for a while.
It was past noon, the hot sun baked the concrete floor in the yard, and the heat wave rose in waves. Sitting under the eaves can feel the heat like a steamer.
I don’t know how long the water in my well can last. In such a hot weather, I have to add a cover to the wellhead to reduce the evaporation of water vapor. If the wells are dry, the family's water supply will be a problem.
Although there is an endless supply of water in the space, it can’t be that everyone in this street has no water, just Li’s family has water, right?
That shouldn't attract people from the whole street. This is not what Li Xiaoyu wants. It's better to be an ordinary person and fetch water like other people's homes.
Xiangyuan's Li Xiaoyu was already drowsy. Qin Mei in the main room asked Li Ma to report to the textile factory tomorrow. She would wait at the factory gate, and then Qin Mei would bring Li Ma to familiarize herself with the environment.
When Yang Kaiwen and his wife left, they saw Li Xiaoyu who was sleeping beside the door, and the two motioned to Li Ma to speak softly.
Li Ma was about to wake up Li Xiaoyu, but Qin Mei stopped her and whispered, "Don't disturb her, let the child sleep, we'll go back first, come to sit at home when you have time."
When Li Xiaoyu woke up after a full sleep, it was almost dusk, and the Li family's dinner was on the table.
"You little pig, you can really sleep, just sat here and slept for a long time, not tired!"
Li Ma, who was about to wake up Li Xiaoyu, put a wet towel on her face in distress and rubbed it with her hands. Li Xiaoyu was completely awake.
Dinner is very simple, including cereal paste and steamed red glutinous rice, plus a large bowl of wild vegetables picked from the fence.
Li Xiaoyu knew that she was reluctant to let her mother cook. Forget it, anyway, my mother is going to work tomorrow, so she should do it herself after this meal.
Although you can’t stand out, you have to be full! Everyone in the family is an adult. Can you eat these things?
"Mom, I'll do the lunch and dinner in the future. You have to go to work and you don't have that much time. I'll lighten your burden!"
"It's strange to believe in you! You give me some restraint!"
"Mom, I promise not to be out of line!"
"You all pack up. School will start in two days. Boss, I will take you to the station tomorrow. You have to take care of yourself when you are outside. When you are free, go to our small yard to take a look."
"Dad, Ren Qiu has been living in the small courtyard since he got married. It's not a good idea for me to go there. Let's talk about it later!"
Father Li was stunned for a while: "Why didn't Ren Qiu tell me when she got married, who did she marry?"
"It's a clerk in their factory. It seems that the surname is Chen. I don't know about the rest."
"It's alright, let her live. I asked her to show the house. Our family won't be able to use that house for the time being. She will move out after a few years when she divides the house."
Li Xiaoyu knew that her house in the provincial capital would be a problem if it was empty. As long as Ren Qiu can live all the time, there will be no idea of anyone playing the house. If it is always empty, it will be hard to say.
"Okay, go to bed early, wake up early tomorrow, don't forget that you can't stop exercising." Father Li drove a few children back to the house to rest, and he was going to rest too.
For the past few days, he has not had a good rest due to family matters, and now he has finally picked up his family and can sleep soundly tonight.
"Dad, you also go to rest early, and slowly familiarize yourself with the surrounding situation, don't worry!" Father Li said to Grandpa Li.
"I'm not in a hurry, you've been tired all day, go to bed early. I'll sit for a while, I'm not used to it at first, it will be fine in a few days."
Grandpa Li was sitting in the yard enjoying the shade, lying on the vest, banging the cigarette stick in his mouth, and shaking his palm fan from time to time. The mosquito coils made by his little granddaughter were burning beside him. Mosquitoes dared not come to visit.
The gate of the small courtyard is closed, and the high wall is a family of its own, quiet and safe. You can also hear the voice of the child next door scolding, all this makes Grandpa Li feel back to the days of the provincial capital.
People are old, but they still like such days.
The Li family began to settle in the county town from today. Going to work, going to school, and living a life that is the same as that of the neighbors on the left and right.
On September 1, Li Chengji took two siblings to the county middle school to report that the three brothers and sisters were once again studying in the same school.
The teacher who signed up was Mr. Wang who Li Xiaoyu had met and who had taught Li Xiaoyan.
"Mr. Wang, I'm bringing my brother and sister to report." Li Chengji said to Wang Mengyun.
"Hello, we met once, do you remember?" Wang Mengyun took the initiative to ask the two of them.
"Remember, Teacher Wang is the teacher of the eldest sister!"
"Haha, I also remember your brothers and sisters, and I am very impressed. You all entered the county middle school with the first place. I really don't know how your parents raised you?"
"Mr. Wang, I'm also number one, but it's only the bottom one!"
"Yes, you are also the first, as long as you study hard, you will be the first."
These two brothers and sisters are both the first, but one is the front and the other is the back, which is really interesting! But in my hands, it will not be so easy!
Wang Mengyun has already begun to brew in his heart, how to clean up Li Xiaoyu, who is the last one.
The two brothers and sisters transferred the food relationship back home through Teacher Wang, and they can take the food book to receive food and bills in the future.
On the first day of school, Li Xiaoyu had a general understanding of her classmates. There are thirty-five people in the class, more men than women, and only eight women.
One is from a rural area, but according to her, her father is the village head. It seems that she is still very favored at home, otherwise why would a girl come to high school.
