Day 96 Visit (1)
After seeing off a few partners, the Tianjin side immediately became deserted. Lu Li and Zhang Qing had to take care of the two stalls of clothes and meat skewers at the same time. They were so busy that they had a good time doing logistics, and they were not able to pick up customers seriously. A stranger came to ask about the price. Both the siblings became dull. They worked hard for a long time, but couldn't say a word. Some of the impatient ones couldn't wait, so they turned around and left.
Lu Li smiled, "You two are both kings of kangtou! What about those abilities at home? Why can't you even say anything here?"
"You can do it, then you come?"
Of course, Lu Li is OK, but he has too many things, and he is really troubled by having too many clones. First of all, Li Tiehan. He has been a few times before and after, and is very interested in this kind of life of standing on the street selling clothes and meat skewers. The bigger reason is that Cao Xun said that the salary Lu Li paid them every month was as much as he earned in three to five months! Therefore, he wanted to join in, but he did not dare to tell his father. Finally, he thought of a solution: "Why not, I'm going to work at night and come to help you during the day?"
"I'm afraid this won't work. If you can sleep at work, it's natural that I'll be fine if you get enough energy the next day. Now your job is to work on a night shift, and when you come to me, your body will definitely not be able to withstand it."
"It's okay, I'm young and nothing can happen."
"That's not OK. You either come directly with Cao Xun and Xu Yunjian, or even if you want to do it. I don't agree with it." Lu Li said: "Danzi, let me tell you this way. Doing such a thing seems simple, but it's not the case. Take selling clothes for example. Every time you sell one, you have to make a record. If you don't have a record, you will have a big trouble when you finally reconcile. Losing money is still a small matter, and hurting your buddy's relationship will be troublesome."
"I can write and record, why can't I do it?"
"I know you will, but like you, if you don't sleep for a long time, you will just rely on hard work, and you will not be able to hold on to your body and spirit in the end. The result is what I said, and trouble will occur sooner or later - from this perspective, I would rather not let you join in than let you do this."
Li Tiehan felt very regretful, smacked his lips, and asked unwillingly: "Then, what do you think you should do?"
"I'm still saying the same thing. If you really plan to come over, just explain to your uncle and get the old man's consent."
"No, my father is the most honest person. If you want to tell him that I do this now, he will definitely not agree - in his heart, let me go to work at work honestly, then find a partner to get married, and live a peaceful life and be over."
"Then I have no choice."
"Hey, Xiaoxiao, why don't you go and tell my dad? My dad always talked about the things back then. He said that if I hadn't been to Tangshan with you, I wouldn't have become so obedient later. So, he always felt that he owed you a favor. If you came forward, he might be able to agree."
Lu Li was stunned and asked, "Uncle doesn't know what happened to you in Tangshan back then?"
Li Tiehan smiled and said, "I don't know, I've never mentioned it to him. I always say what happened in the past. Anyway, I know now that I was wrong back then, isn't it over? Oh, what do you think?"
"This is it, I'll try it back and find time. I'm afraid it won't work today. I have to go to Hedong tonight."
"What are you doing in Hedong?"
"Luo Yaohua, you also met in Tangshan back then. I'll do something with him." Lu Li said: "Wait until I finish the work these days, and then I'll go home with you to see what the old man means."
"As long, I'll wait a few more days."
Lu Li turned around and called Liang Xin over again, took out an envelope and handed it to him, "This time I will give you 100 yuan. If you should, you should spend it. If you don't have one, write a letter."
"Brother, you gave me money last time, my dad said I was unpromising, I was not full, I took advantage of other people's not rich, or... forget it?"
"Your father said that in the future, when you go to work and make money by yourself, you can't reach out to others anymore - if you are like this, even if I don't give it to me, don't your parents have to give it to me? Be obedient and take it."
Liang Xin obediently took the envelope and put it in his arms, "Then, if there is nothing else, will I be busy?"
"You should watch it carefully today. I have to walk a while earlier to pay New Year's greetings first, and then there is something to do in the evening."
"It's almost fifteen, why are you still paying New Year's greetings?"
"Yes, there is a relative living in Hedong. I go late every year." Lu Li smiled helplessly when he thought of the old man's family, "Okay, let's do it, let's tell your sister back. Just leave the things you clean up to Zhang Qing."
"knew."
He explained to Liang Xin, said hello to Zhang Qing, took out the snacks and fruits he had bought in advance from the room, Lu Li rode his bicycle, passed the Haihe River from Binjiang Road, and headed straight to Hedong. He went to the old man's house first, knocked on the door, it was Lu Jie, "Hey, Xiaoli, good New Year!"
"Brother Ming, happy New Year. Are you at home? I'll pay New Year's greetings to them."
"Here, we are here. I said a few days ago that you are here. By the way, I will introduce you to me by the way." Lu Jie laughed and took the gift he was carrying. The two brothers entered the house, "Xiaoli is here."
"Uncle, aunt, happy New Year. Mao, happy New Year."
"Xiaoli, are you here?" The old man was weaker than when he came to see Fan Xiaoyu's last time. He sat on the only single sofa and gasped, "Uncle, don't move, just sit down."
"When it's winter, I'm... huh... panting, and it's even more...awe. Oh, tell me, what should I do? I thought I'd be able to go to your place, but my body was really not good."
"Uncle, don't talk like that. You are so old and it's time to enjoy your old age. How can you look at the younger generation in the opposite direction? There is no such reason in the world."
"Look, Xiaoli is still able to speak, so I said, don't let this monster move around, and he won't listen!" The aunt welcomed her warmly and turned around and said, "Old Mao, Xiaoli is here, I'm here to greet you, why don't you even say a word?"
Luna's appearance was cool, Xiao Nai's mother, and she had a big face, and her face was full of flesh. She couldn't be considered very beautiful. He moved his eyes from the book and nodded to him, saying 'Oh', even if he had said hello.
"Hey, Xiaoli, let me introduce you." The aunt said, "This is Xiao Yang, Yang Jie, your brother Ming's partner. Xiao Yang, this is Lao Ming's cousin, Lu Li."
When Lu Li entered the door, he noticed her. She was a pretty girl, and she was completely incomparable to the other mother and daughter. She sat there quietly, looking upright, "Hello. I have to call her sister-in-law, right?"
Lu Jie laughed, "I'll spend it again, I'll spend it again. Let's wait for the New Year."
"Okay, when will the wedding be held?"
"The two families have met and are preparing to hold a wedding on May Day."
"That's great. If you need anything at that time, please just talk. We are a family, don't be polite."
"You really have to come and help me. I'm afraid I can't support myself. Then I have to build a shed, treat you, and receive you. Your aunt and the Mao are too busy."
"Okay, that's it, I'll come here at that time."
The aunt laughed and told her daughter, "Old Mao, let's put your book open. Xiaoli will come here a few times a year, so talk to him?"
"Say it, what can I say with him? Didn't you see me refreshment?"
"How many grades are Mao in now?"
"Soul, why are you asking about this?"
Lu Li's heart was secretly ignorant, I couldn't even ask questions. The older the child is, the less rules he has! After talking to the old man and his family, the aunt said, "Xiaoli is rare to come here once. Let's eat it here in the evening. The aunt cooks noodles for you, and there are also Lantern Festivals I bought last week. I'll cook a few more times to try?"
Lu Li was a little dazed. Things like Lantern Festival are not durable and will not deteriorate after being left for a week, right? Sure enough, Lu Jie asked: "Mom, I bought it last week, it's broken, right?"
"It's okay, the surface is a little discolored. The chopsticks are scraped off and they are not suitable for eating. Xiao Yang will eat a few more and help with it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste? But the Lantern Festival is quite sweet, you must like to eat it."
Lu Li secretly looked at Yang Jie, and the girl looked helpless. What should I do when I encounter such a family? He stopped staying at home and stood up and said, "It's still no need. Auntie, I have something to do today. I've made an appointment with my friend to meet you. I'll wait a few days, and I'll see you again in a few days."
"What are you doing? Let's leave now? Why are you in a hurry? Let's leave after dinner?"
"No, uncle, I'll come back."
After leaving the old man's family, it was already the time he had agreed with Luo Yaohua. He rode his bike to Hedong Branch where he went to work. After waiting for a while, Luo Yaohua pushed the bicycle out, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, you came early? I wasn't late, right?"
"Fortunately, I just arrived. How about it, let's find a place to have a meal first?"
"Okay, I'll invite you today. I'll tell you something by the way."
In the first month of the yin calendar, it was almost dark at five o'clock. There were only a few street lamps on the street. The incandescent bulbs installed on it emitted a dim light, making the figures long. Luo Yaohua was more familiar with the geography here and took him to find a small restaurant. Because there was something to do at night, the two of them didn't want to drink, so they ordered a 3-year-old sausage, a fish-flavored shredded pork, and a Wuchang fish. They each ordered rice and started eating it like this.
"Our president's surname is Su, and he lives at the intersection of Shierjing Road and Jiuwei Road. I have been there once. I spoke before the New Year last year. I went to pay New Year's greetings with my colleagues. I have three children at home, two boys and one girl, two boys and three girls, and the eldest son is in high school. The eldest son is now in college. In addition to these people, President Su's mother and grandmother are also there. I live with them. Life is not particularly rich, even if it is just average."
Luli listened and ate for a while. After he finished introducing the situation, he put down his chopsticks and asked, "Does his wife, mother and grandma go to work?"
"His wife works on the street, and her situation is somewhat similar to Aunt Xu."
"I understand. If you say that, the conditions should not be considered very good. We don't have to buy too many gifts. You have prepared snacks and fruits, right?"
"Yes. I'm afraid that these things are not enough. Do you think you should buy something more?"
"No need, this time I just visited the door and recognized the door. The days ahead will be long. Let's talk about it when I have met - eat, why don't you eat?"
Luo Yaohua smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaoxiao, I know you are a good guy in this regard. I can't do it. When I think of visiting this way, I always feel as if I am inferior."
"Don't worry, just practice more. When you get there this time, don't say that I am your relative. Such meaningless lies are completely unnecessary. You should also pay attention to whether you will miss it in the future. Just say that I am your friend who went to the countryside and introduce me to a few of them." Luli said: "But in the future, you have to come often, do you understand?"
"What do you mean by coming often? You don't want me to run away every day, right?"
"Of course, that's not the case, but you and him are colleagues at work. If you know that there is something at home, no matter if someone asks you or asks you, you must take the initiative to go forward - don't sit with a fool like a silly wood when you go to work, pat your butt after get off work and leave, be a little more arduous, ah!"
"What about that?"
"Your president has an old lady and grandma at home. The two old ladies are old and inevitably have bad health. If you have a headache and fever, isn't it just the time for a young man like you to help? Anyway, it's like that. When you have helped a few times, people will get used to your existence and will be much more convenient to do things in the future."
“…………”
"Eat quickly, we'll go after eating."
"Don't go too early. It's not good to come back and catch up with someone's house for dinner?"
"With two elderly people like this at home, the meal must be early. Why can't you even think of this?"
