Chapter 1036: Lessons from the Electric Fan
Siheyuan.

Li Feng, who has been living in Xinzhong Street recently, made a rare trip back to Nanluoguxiang today because his mother-in-law came to send Li Hui back.

The little guy is growing up month by month. He can call daddy now, and his voice is much clearer than before. He just can't call grandpa and grandma yet.

Watching Li Feng take the child, Huang Ma pushed the bamboo stroller to the door. The old couple bought it specially after Li Huihui left, otherwise the stroller would be too strong.

"Hui Hui, oh my, you've gained a lot of weight~!"

Kiss, hug and lift up high. When the old father saw his baby daughter, he picked her up. The little one smiled happily, kicking her legs in the air with joy.

"Come on, come on, you haven't eaten yet, I'll do it, stay here and have a meal today~!"

While her son was playing with her granddaughter, Liu Yin, as a mother, pulled her in-laws' arms and warmly invited them to sit inside.

"No, no, my dear, Beibei is still at home, I have to go back and cook for her, stop busying myself, I won't sit down~!"

Mother Huang waved her hand, tidied Li Hui's hair, and looked at the child lovingly. As for the father-in-law, he put some of the child's clothes, milk powder and other things into the house, and held his granddaughter's hand.

“Dad, Dad~!”

When the little girl saw her father, she hugged his neck and refused to let go. Her grandfather didn't want her anymore and pretended to take her away, but she immediately shook her head and buried her head in her father's neck.

"You have no conscience. Grandpa bought you a car, but when you see dad, you ignore him~!"

Dad Huang was also amused by Li Hui's actions. He rubbed the back of the little guy's head and said jokingly. Suddenly the whole family was amused.

"Dad, Mom, you two have to work, and it's not convenient to ask an aunt to take care of the child. Why don't you let my mom take care of the child? When I miss the child, I'll send him to you~!"

Huang's father's level is not high enough, so when it is time to take turns to look after the children, he has to find a nanny, who doesn't take care of the children all the time, so people can't say anything, but it is still inconvenient.

As Xiao Huihui was becoming more sensible, Li Feng still brought up the issue. After all, his mother had nothing to do at home, and it would be more convenient for her to take care of her than for the old couple.

Huang's father and mother looked at each other, perhaps still a little reluctant, but their family's situation was indeed as Li Feng had imagined.

"Okay, come and see her if you miss her, it's not far anyway~!"

Mr. Huang didn't say anything, and it seemed that he still liked his granddaughter very much, so Mrs. Huang simply agreed.

After the old couple left, mother Liu Yin's smile faded. She poked her son's forehead with her finger and took Li Hui over.

"Let's wait a few months until the Chinese New Year. It's too early to bring it up now~!"

"Brother, uncle and auntie will be unhappy, and you don't have time to take care of it anyway~!"

Li Nan took a small rattle and turned it in his hands to attract the child's attention, and also followed the child to criticize his brother's faults.

"They are not high enough to hire a babysitter every month, otherwise, people will gossip about them~!"

Li Feng didn't say anything specific, but just said roughly that there will be special circumstances next year. With two more nannies at home, many things will become inconvenient and it will be easy for people to talk about it.

It's nothing at ordinary times, but the more time passes, the more attention you have to pay to these little things. If you can be low-key, you'd better be low-key in advance. Do things according to your level and don't be too ostentatious.

"Qi, they all get paid, so they don't mind this little bit of money~!"

Li Nan obviously misunderstood and thought his brother wanted to save money for others~!

"You're not the one who's talking too much, Mom. You're taking care of them, so they can't hire a nanny. This is for their own good. Please pay more attention~!"

Mother Liu Yin may have seen what her son was thinking, but it was inconvenient to say it, so she nodded and agreed.

Originally, taking care of the children is the job of her parents-in-law. Since they are free at home anyway, she also wants to take care of the children more. As for her in-laws, after all, both of them have formal jobs, and there is a little one to worry about at home.

Li Nan curled his lips, took his niece's hand, and began to teach her to walk on the ground. After not seeing her for a month, her steps were obviously much steadier.

When he saw his brother returning to the ear room, he didn't know whether he was handling official business or doing something else. Li Nan was feeling very hot. He fanned himself but felt the wind was hot. Then he came up with an idea.

"Mom, can I stay over at Xinzhong Street tonight? I live on the first floor and there are electric fans there. It's too hot at home~!"

It was rare for her brother to come back, and Li Nan knew that if she went to look for him on her own, she would definitely be turned away. With a roll of her eyes, she thought of her mother and chose a roundabout way.

How could mother Liu Yin tolerate this? For the older generation, this kind of weather is still bearable. When the sun goes down, it is at least much better than at noon.

"Go, go, go to the side and fan yourself with a fan!"

"Then why don't you buy one for your family? I passed by the department store and took a look. Watson's brand ones are not expensive, just over a hundred yuan. Ask me to get a ticket and bring it back. Huihui will get a heat rash later~!"

Seeing that his mother disagreed, Li Nan shook his mother's arm and pointed his finger at Li Hui. His mother didn't feel sorry for her, but at least she still had a niece who could be her sword of authority.

"Electric fans don't consume electricity, but you are so pampered. If you catch a cold, you'll have to see a doctor. Huihui, I'll fan her. Wasn't that how we raised you when you were little?" Liu Yin, who was cooking, stood up straight immediately when she heard the price was over a hundred yuan. She glared at her daughter, seeing through her little thoughts at a glance.

"It's easy to say more than a hundred yuan. Wait until you can earn money yourself, and then you can talk so loudly. When your brother bought a bicycle, it was only more than a hundred yuan. You are always showing off~!"

"I can't live there, I can't buy a house, I'll just die of heat. The Cultural Palace, other people's families have bought one, my brother is the deputy director of the factory, and you are always stingy~!"

As he spoke, Li Nan was still a little unhappy. He ran back to the bed and sat down with a pout on his face.

However, as soon as his butt touched the bed, the little guy who was playing on the floor just now squatted down tremblingly, his little face turned red, and it was obvious that he was trying hard.

"Oh, Huihui has pooped, mom~!"

Anyone who has taken care of a child would know what was going on. Upon hearing this, Liu Yin hurriedly wiped her hands on her apron, picked up Li Hui, and walked out to clean up.

As for the residue on the ground, Li Nan used coal tongs to pick up the burnt charcoal slag, placed it on top, stepped on it with his feet, and then swept it into the dustpan.

Yes, that was basically how it was handled in that era. Burnt coal slag has adsorption properties.

"Electric fan, hey, Xiaonan~!"

I don’t know if it was because he heard Li Nan’s exclamation just now, or because he was in the next room and overheard the conversation here, but Li Feng finally put down what he was doing and walked over from the ear room.

With his hands behind his back and looking at his sister with a serious expression, Li Feng felt that this troublesome little girl had indeed changed a bit. It was also because of her dancing that Li Feng had been vaguely worried about it before.

"Why, did you hear that?"

"Mom won't buy it for me, so I don't have to buy it. At worst, I can sleep outside. I can sleep on the floor. It's hot, and I have to practice dancing during the day~!"

Li Nan looked at everyone's serious expressions, his eyes were a little evasive, and he felt guilty. Facing his brother's sigh, he spoke out his own reasons.

"What kind of dance are you practicing lately?"

Feeling that the little tree was growing a little crooked, and considering that his sister didn't like to listen to moral lectures and was still in her rebellious period, Li Feng sat on the bench in front of the table, resting his hands on his knees, intending to have a good talk with her.

"I have them all, but you still don't understand!"

Li Nan felt a little uncomfortable because his brother was behaving uncharacteristically today. When asked, he spoke proudly.

“Is there any folk dance?”

"Of course there are. Tibetan dance, Mongolian dance, peacock dance, fan dance, the teacher teaches them all~!"

At this point, Li Nan looked at his brother in confusion. He didn't expect that he knew all this. He counted on his fingers and started teaching his brother a lesson.

"And what about ballet, cha-cha, ballroom dance, waltz, tango, and yangko?"

"Brother, it's just ballroom dancing, ballet, the Red Detachment of Women, Yangko, Yangko, it's not pretty, I don't want to learn it, let's not dance this~!"

Li Nan might not have been able to tell the difference in the past, but after being influenced by it, it is definitely different. It is strange that his brother understands so much.

"You see, the problem is here. Dance emphasizes collectivism. Do you think dance is performed for the lower class or for the upper class?"

Having said that, Li Feng looked at the girl, staring at her facial expression, really hoping that she could understand it well.

However, Li Nan had no idea what his brother was trying to say, and his expression was clearly a little impatient.

"I don't know what you're asking. I just dance whatever is assigned to me. I didn't pay any money, so I'm glad they can teach me~!"

"Your universal values ​​have cognitive biases. Nan Nan, folk dances, Yangge, or the dances in Min Yue where everyone cheers and beats drums, these are productivity dances~!"

"What is the dance of productivity? It is the creation of the working people, representing their cheers, and can relax them and inspire their spirits. It can play a role in assisting productivity~!"

Li Nan weighed every word his brother said, his face a little strange. At first, what he said sounded a little unhappy, but when he heard it later, it sounded like what a dance teacher said, which was more profound.

"Like other types of dance, many of them serve the class (level), are for the good class (level), and are enjoyed by non-working people. This type of dance does not belong to the people~!"

"I agreed to let you learn dancing because I hope you can serve the working people. In the future, whether you are a soldier or working, your salary will come from productivity, not class~!"

"You can't yearn for the class (level). This is stealing the fruits of labor and then flowing to the class (level). For the nature of dance, it is very important, very important. It is related to your future. The money or salary you earn from this industry is different from that of your brother. It is non-productive, no production, no goods, no manufacturing, no output~!"

Li Nan had a bitter face at this time. He didn't know why. He just wanted to buy an electric fan, but his brother said so much to him.

"I understand what you're saying. The essence of dance is service, but the people being served are different~!"

"Yes, don't think of yourself as a cadre family. If your brother is still driving a big car, then you are just an ordinary girl. You are still young and can't tell right from wrong. Comparing and enjoying yourself is the fashion~!"

"The first thing you need to do is to gain the recognition of the working people and truly serve them. Only then can you be said to be mastering the dance, rather than letting the dance master you~!"
