The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Chapter 118 Mr. Liu’s Family Meeting

"Hey, it looks like tofu, but it's your sister's bicycle. What does it have to do with you, Liu Qiang?"

Some jealous people couldn't help but retort, stabbing Liu Qiang in the heart with a knife. Liu Qiang touched his head in embarrassment.

"Although his sister is married, her surname is still Liu. This wild boar was given to our family for foster care by her daughter and son-in-law at a steel rolling mill."

Mr. Liu, who followed him out of the house, countered.

"How is your daughter doing now? Have you given anything to your family? Liu Qiang, go take out the half fan of pork and show it to everyone."

Mr. Liu looked at the remaining people who still didn't go back, and felt that he was beginning to choke and leave. Since you can't go back after talking it over, then you will regret staying here.

"What, there's half a fan of pork, Old Liu, your family is getting rich."

Sure enough, the rest of the people were instantly unbalanced, thinking about the married girls, how could Liu Yin bring things back home, and how could any of them not come empty-handed, carrying large and small bags of things home.

"My grandson feels sorry for me. He asked me to take care of him. He is now a truck driver in our steel rolling mill in Sijiucheng. He is also a leader in the factory."

Mr. Liu continued to show off, and Liu Qiang stretched out his arms, climbed out of the pigsty, and rushed into the house.

He took out the pork wrapped tightly in old newspapers, and in front of everyone, he tore the newspaper with a cry of "hiss!"

"You loser, why don't you use this whole newspaper to build a wall?"

Mr. Liu looked at his son and tore the newspaper open. He felt distressed and panicked. Yan Guozi pointed at Liu Qiang and cursed.

"Wow, this belongs to Little Piggy too!"

"It's quite a lot, at least seven or eight pounds!"

"Mr. Liu, my family and yours are not in the fifth level, so my children have to call you grandpa!"

Some people want to use their connections to gain some leverage, and now they say things they haven't dared to say for many years.

"Hey, we don't want to eat this meat. We have to sell it to the purchasing station to pay for the next train ticket."

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Mr. Liu let out a little secret. Otherwise, if his son was so determined to go, he would not let others gossip.

"Hey, I didn't get enough of the advantage this trip, so I'm thinking about the next trip!"

"That's right, my own grandson, the two of us got into the big car and didn't let go."

Jealous people will always be jealous of themselves and find excuses to troll others. The Liu family has not told everyone about Li Deyi's death.

Mr. Liu shook his head and waved his hand to drive away the remaining people.

"Let's all go back, let's all go back. Liu Qiang has just returned today, and our family doesn't have time to greet everyone."

As he spoke, he opened his arms and drove a group of people with pinkeye out.

inside the house.

Liu Qiang put the half-fan of pork on the big table in the room. Several children surrounded the table tightly and even poked it with their hands if they were brave enough.

"Liu Qiang, did you bring back some pork?"

Aunt Li Feng, who came later, looked at the meat on the table with surprise in her eyes.

"I don't want it. Li Feng chopped off half of it himself and gave it to me."

Liu Qiang looked at his father staring at him with a slightly unkind look, touched his head and said nervously.

"Life in Sijiucheng is so easy, so much meat, you can just give it away?"

His wife also looked at Liu Qiang with curiosity. If it was so easy to earn money, it would not be impossible. After all, the children have to go to school, and the tuition fees are a headache.

Liu Qiang waved his hand hurriedly.

"The situation at home is still the same as last time, but Li Feng came back to take over, and life is much better. After all, driving a big car, and riding a bicycle are also true."

"This is the big one that Li Feng killed when he got out of his car. Some of the smaller ones didn't run away, so some of them were beaten to death by Li Feng, and some of them were captured."

"Then what you said is one yuan for a trip to the nearest place and three yuan for a trip to a far distance is it true?"

Li Feng's aunt realized that she had misunderstood her man. She came over from the table, grabbed his arm and asked him flatteringly.

Next to him, Li Feng's aunt also pricked up her ears. Uncle Li Feng moved his body, looking unconcerned.

"Oh, what am I kidding you about? Li Feng rode his bicycle and took me to the Sijiucheng Railway Station and the entrance of the largest department store to see it in person."

"That's how people bid for handlebars. If you counter-offer, they won't stop you!"

In order to explain to his wife, Liu Qiang added a little more information. After all, he was born in a rural area and has a short-sighted mind. If he hadn't gone out on his own, he wouldn't have known how profitable it was to drive a car.

Aunt Li Feng shook her man's arm, and Liu Qiang broke away impatiently.

"Well, Liu Qiang, go out for a while. I don't know who is following whom. I'll really shame you."

As she said that, my aunt picked up the firewood stick that she had just thrown on the ground and threatened, "If you don't forgive me, you have to forgive me."

"One yuan per trip is the price of a three-wheeler. The price of a flatbed truck is higher. Moving things up and down is extra. It takes two or three trips a day. You can make your own estimate."

Liu Qiang was not frightened and quoted the price there. His wife, who didn't understand it yet, immediately threw down the stick in hand and counted it with her fingers.

"One trip costs RMB 100, two trips costs RMB [-], three trips costs RMB [-], that's more than [-] yuan a month!"

The younger my aunt's eyes got wider and wider, and she jumped up excitedly when she mentioned more than 100.

"Isn't the eldest brother unwilling to let Lei Zi go? I will take my eldest brother with me, and you will have to take another 2 from behind!"

It was shocking. Even Mr. Liu couldn't sit still at this time. One person in the countryside earns more than 30 yuan a year, but in the city, two people can earn more than 200 yuan a month. This is a money grab.

He hurried over to light the oil lamp on the table, coaxed the child out, and the door was bolted from the inside.

Liu Lei's body collapsed even more as he lay on the chair, feeling that all the strength in his body had been taken away.

Aunt Li Feng was unhappy when she heard this. She felt that the money was about to slip away from her eyes. She pinched her husband's back hard and said calmly.

"Isn't this a discussion? We haven't decided yet. Qiangzi, don't make the decision now. You have to wait for your elder brother to make up his mind."

Liu Qiang said "Huh!", turned his head, and ignored his sister-in-law.

My horizons are too low. I will break Lei Zi’s legs in the future. I don’t know who said that.

"Where did Li Feng get the carts and the animals to pull the goods? Where do you live?" Mr. Liu grasped the key point and asked the key question.

"When I arrived, Li Feng happened to be back from Inner Mongolia. There was a wolf disaster there. Li Feng killed the wolves in the prairie. He had to find a way to get the two mules and the cart that they sent him. Fortunately, we arrived not early. It’s not too late, otherwise the mule will be sold to him.”

"Li Feng also contacted their street and offered a place to live, but he had to haul some winter vegetables to their street for a while!"

Liu Qiang explained to his father exactly what Li Feng said at the dinner table.

Mr. Liu touched his chin and felt that this trip was really worth it. Although the ticket price was patchy, it gave his family two more ways out.

"It's a bit inappropriate for Li Feng to come out with this, isn't it? Liu Yin didn't say anything?"

Mr. Liu is worthy of being a veteran, and once again pointed out the key points.

Liu Qiang was also quite embarrassed. As an elder, he wanted the younger generation to lend a hand.

"At the dinner table, Li Feng also said, just don't let him suffer. I guess that at worst, if we earn a little more in the early days, we can use it as rent. If we earn more in the future, we can buy it directly. Li Feng should agree."

Liu Qiang told the truth, after all, these things really need to be explained clearly, otherwise the eldest brother's family would misunderstand that they were given for free, and it would be difficult to explain them when he goes back.

"This is a must. You can't let others take out things. If you run before and after, the benefits will be in your pocket."

Aunt Li Feng over there moved her body with some dissatisfaction after listening to Liu Qiang's words. She got the benefit and wanted more benefits, so she asked.

"How much should we give Li Feng for that month? I won't get any work points at home when I go out, so I won't have enough to eat by then."

Uncle Li Feng's ears also perked up, and his mind wavered quickly.After all, it’s more than 100 a month, which is indeed better than digging in the soil for food.

"I didn't plan to earn much when I started. At least I have a place to stay. Li Feng is not that kind of person. If you give less, you will have more time and take your time. If you give more, the time will be shorter. Yes, if you really want to go, you can go with him alone."

Liu Qiang also heard the meaning of his sister-in-law's words, and replied with some dissatisfaction, his voice was cold.

"I'm confused. Even if you earn 30 yuan a month, you still have an income of [-] yuan a year. Excluding the work points, it's not much better than farming at home."

Mr. Liu was a little dissatisfied with the eldest daughter-in-law, but the younger daughter-in-law was silent at this time. He probably thought that if the elders refused quickly, the opportunity would fall into his own pocket.

They are all born by oneself. Even if they are not pleasing to the eye, they have to be treated with a bowl of water. This is Mr. Liu's idea. Otherwise, if the young man returns home in fine clothes, the eldest daughter-in-law will not be able to cause trouble.

An elder in a family is like a treasure. He saw through the thoughts of everyone present and carefully tried his best to maintain the fragile balance between the two families and avoid future feuds because of these brothers.

"Qiangzi, take your eldest son away. What to do with the little wild boar? It was originally discussed that the two families would feed it together."

Mr. Liu nudged the young and the young, and beat the young daughter-in-law to prevent her from thinking about eating more and occupying more.

"I don't want to take the eldest brother away. It's not that I won't agree to it even if the eldest brother dies. I can't help it either. Li Feng has promised well, and the street office is waiting for the two of them!"

"Uncle, my father doesn't agree. I have long legs. You can take me there. I can do it for a month and twenty. As long as I can make money, it's better than starving to death here."

Liu Lei never looked at the piece of meat on the table. Even if he ate it, it would only be a temporary meal. What's the use?

Only a steady stream of wealth can allow the younger brothers and sisters to study safely and exchange for more meat.

This is the pattern of young people, and it is also the generation gap between them and the older generation. They just want to live a peaceful life where the sun rises and sets, and the end can be seen at a glance.

Uncle Li Feng shook his body, and his aunt felt it. She knew that her husband was embarrassed to speak, so she had to step in.

"It's up to you to earn more or less. Driving a car is also a skill. You have to learn from your uncle. But last time I collected travel expenses, what should I do if my family has no money?"

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Mr. Liu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that everyone finally gave in.

But before he could completely relax, this new problem made the wrinkles on his face deeper.

"Oh, no, that half of the pork is for sale. I'll risk my face and go..."

"Dad, I'm coming back. Sister gave me the money for the next trip."

Liu Qiang lowered his head and covered his face in shame, interrupting the old man's speech.

The others just looked at the half fan of pork on the table with some heartache, thinking that they would miss it, but they didn't expect that Liu Yin had follow-up arrangements.

Now the eldest aunt blushed, Liu Yin was the one who took the blame, and no one had anything to say.

The old man sighed deeply and took a few steps back.

His wife hurriedly stepped forward, supported his body, and took him to the bench to sit down.

"Liu Yin's life was also hard. Although Li Deyi also drove a big car at the beginning, he didn't know how to deal with it. Life at home was like a rotten bud. Now that Li Feng is back, he has not forgotten our family."

"I've made the decision today, Liu Qiang, Liu Lei, you two go over and carry the food at home by yourself. No matter how difficult the life is, don't ask Liu Yin to reach out again. The road has been paved for you. The rest is up to you. why did you leave."

At this time, my aunt moved a stool, sat down with Liu Qiang, and looked at the ten dollars Liu Qiang took out of his pocket.

His eyes were still narrowed with a smile, and he completely forgot about what he said about marrying the wrong person when he patted his knees.

If the whole family goes there, go there alone. This way, with the kite string in hand, you won’t be afraid of people running away.

"Dad, based on what you said, your son is also afraid that Lei Zi will be arrested by the police as a blind prostitute outside. He is the only adult in the family. It is time to take charge of things. With Li Feng's arrangements, we can feel relieved."

The eldest aunt said something nice at the right time to restore some of the impression in the old man's mind.

After all, the one Liu Yin and Li Feng recognized was still the old man's old relationship from beginning to end, and had little to do with his family.

"Leizi, I heard what your grandfather said. You have to learn from your uncle when you go. Don't be lazy. The family is counting on you."

The eldest aunt ran to her son and moved (rua) Liu Lei's hair.

I still feel a little uneasy. Now that I have gone, I wonder when will we meet next?

Liu Lei cried with joy. It was too difficult and he was finally willing to let go. The old man made the decision. His father couldn't go back on his word even if he wanted to. He hugged his mother and cried bitterly.

"Mom, I don't know how. I will learn from my uncle and the money will be sent back when the time comes. You and Dad can rest assured at home."

After really making up their minds, the two families went back to cook. The first time after Aunt Li Feng returned, she picked up Erbao who was sleeping next to the stove and spanked her.

Uncle Li Feng and aunt Li looked at Liu Lei happily picking up the sack, and couldn't wait to go back to the house to pack up their pots, pans, clothes and quilts.

Mr. Liu first went to look at the piglets that were full and sleeping in the pig pen. Finally, he picked up the half fan of pork on the table and put it into a sack.

I went to the house in the team that had the most comfortable life, and exchanged it for dozens of kilograms of sweet potatoes and other whole grains, as well as a few scattered tickets.

A poor family has a road to prosperity. After completing all the certificates, the two set off with everyone's expectations.
