Chapter 200 My uncle will send the money back for the New Year first

Back in the office, Chu Heng, who never read newspapers, curiously picked up today's latest Beijing Evening News from the newspaper rack and started reading.

"I bet, this guy is actually in the newspaper!"

Outside the office, Aunt Sun and other Sanliang Store staff heard a heart-wrenching cry from inside.

Ni Meizi's pale ears moved slightly, and she put down the scarf she was knitting in her hands.

Li Feng on this side continued to ride on the bike leisurely after getting the ticket, and rode all the way to the department store.

Within a few minutes, we arrived in front of the department store.

It happened that uncle Liu Qiang and cousin Liu Lei were working here. Li Feng got out of the car and pushed them over.

"Xiao Feng, cousin!"

The two of them saw him at the same time and said hello at the same time.

Looking at the two people with happy faces, Li Feng parked his bicycle, took out the pack of peonies, and spread cigarettes for them.

"Uncle, how are you doing lately? I haven't seen you for a few days!"

"Okay, it's the Chinese New Year soon. Every family is buying things. The neighborhood committee has also said hello to the coal yard. If you have nothing to do, you can help with two coal hauls!"

Liu Qiang had seen the market at least, and knew that the cigarette in his hand was a high-end product, so he lit it carefully and said happily.

"You didn't go to work today?"

Liu Lei took the cigarette without smoking, threw it into his hat, buttoned it up again, and asked Li Feng while looking at the crowd coming out of the department store.

"Yesterday reporters came to interview and took photos of the factory leaders. Isn't this meant to be developed for them?"

Li Feng had a cigarette in his mouth and spoke a little unclearly. The two of them listened in confusion, but they still nodded along.

"Do things well for the leader, so that the leader will value you, Xiaofeng, work hard and find a wife as soon as possible!"

Liu Qiang came over. Seeing that his nephew was living a prosperous life, he explained in a serious tone.

The two mules were standing in front of each other. Maybe they saw Li Feng coming, but the mule behind them came forward on its own, lowered its head and rubbed Li Feng's chest.

"Hey, you still recognize me!"

Li Feng smiled, said hello to the old man, and touched the animal's forehead. The mule blinked comfortably.

"This mule is very smart. It will save you a lot of trouble after running for a few days. He will run wherever you greet him!"

"That's it. You guys continue to work. I'll go in and take a look. I need some clothes!"

After Li Feng said hello, he was about to run away, but was caught by his uncle.

Liu Qiang looked around cautiously, dragged his surprised nephew to the corner, and whispered.

"Lei Zi and I also earn a lot these days. Even though we are your uncle, we can't take advantage of our nephew!"

With that said, Liu Qiang opened his mouth and carefully groped in the direction of his arms and inner pockets.

"No, uncle, we agreed, you can save your life first and wait until you have more money!" Upon hearing this, Li Feng immediately understood what the uncle meant, and immediately broke away from his arm and pulled his hands out of his sleeves. Come out and show off.

"How long have you been putting it off? How can I keep putting it off? Lei Zi and I have saved up some money. You must keep it!"

The old uncle fumbled around in his arms for a long time. Maybe the inner pocket was sewn in a relatively hidden position. He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. Finally, he took out a small folded cloth bag with great difficulty.

The old uncle carefully untied the cotton rope that tied the cloth, licked his thumb and opened the khaki cloth, took out the neatly folded banknotes, and stuffed them into Li Feng's coat pocket.

"Here are 30 yuan, for Lei Zi and I this month, you can just pretend!"

"Uncle, don't be like this. People are coming and going on the street, chatting and chatting. If people see us, they think we are opportunistic!"

Li Feng was a little dumbfounded. He could just ask his mother for the money, but it was still waiting for him.

"Hey~, I don't feel at ease because I owe money, even if it's my nephew, I can't delay it."

"Also, there is no reason for a woman to be the head of the family. Besides, you are an adult. My sister is short-sighted. You have to be educated to hold the big money!"

Seeing that Li Feng refused to accept it, Liu Qiang knew that his nephew was also concerned about face, but he still put the money into his nephew's pocket resolutely.

Li Feng looked a little uncomfortable. 30 yuan may only be half a month's salary for him, but for people from rural areas, it may be a huge sum of money, and it takes a year of hard work to earn it.

"Uncle, I don't want you to lose three melons and two dates now. If you give me this money, what will you do when you go home during the New Year!"

Holding the pile of scattered banknotes and the money he had saved in his hand, Li Feng felt quite uncomfortable. Why did he feel like Huang Shiren now?

"I won't go back during the Chinese New Year. I've only been here for a short time. Lei Zi and I have agreed to go back by the middle of next year to help the neighborhood committee haul coal to needy households. They gave us some food stamps, and they also gave us some food stamps for winter storage last time. We share a little, so we don’t have to worry about food.”

The two of them walked back to where they parked while chatting. Liu Lei had been watching just now. Seeing that Li Feng had indeed accepted the money, the nervous expression in front of him calmed down.

"You don't have to worry about us. Life in the countryside is cheap. Anyone with a stutter can survive. If you save some food here, they can eat more at home. It's just about working harder."

The old uncle explained in a deep voice. His back, which was slightly bent just now, straightened up again because of his two words. Maybe it was because he saw the food saved next year and the money he brought back, which finally made him look forward to life.

"Xiaofeng, thank you!"

The introverted Liu Lei didn't know what to say, so he could only whisper what he wanted to say.

"Thank you for nothing. We are all a family, and labor is the most glorious thing. Brother, you are not young anymore. Take the money and find me a sister-in-law when you go back!"

Li Feng hammered Liu Lei on the chest. He was caught off guard and staggered, and he pressed himself against the side of the animal. When Li Feng said this, Liu Lei's face turned red and turned into a piece of calico, and his mouth opened to murmur, but nothing happened. refute.

"It's time to look for Lei Zi, but the situation here is not good and it's been delayed. Let's make a good plan. We will go back in the middle of next year and build him an adobe house. We will give him gifts and get a certificate directly to whomever he likes!"

Liu Qiang laughed out loud when he saw his nephew's embarrassment. They were all people who had been through this before, so how could he not see what the young man's first thought was when he made money.

"Is it enough to build a house after paying for the work points? Why don't you give me less?"

"If it's not enough, I still need it. Less is impossible. How much are your two animals and these two trucks? You have to calculate the depreciation. Don't worry about his affairs. I'm here to take care of it!"

Liu Qiang patted his chest. Since he had brought his nephew out, it wouldn't be a joke if he couldn't even build an adobe house, not to mention returning home in fine clothes.
