My 1978 Hotel

"Young man, please take them over to polish the furniture and teach them more." Of course, this includes Liu Wen, Wu Jing, and Chen Long. After all, they can't eat enough. As for asking these three to dig and transport silt, it is not realistic. They can't do it, they really can't do it.

"It's a small matter, don't worry, I will teach you well." Li Muchen said with a smile.

"I'll learn from you carefully."

Li Feng rubbed Li Ran's head. "When I have time, I'll teach you how to make some toys. Floats, duck drum carts, and bamboo snakes. I can make them all."

"real or fake?"

Li Ran looked at Li Feng. "I'm starting to wonder if you're my old man."

This kid made Li Feng laugh and cry. "Okay, I'll go to the commune to buy some meat for you guys. Don't be too late."

"Oh, by the way, are you all going to follow suit?"

"We agreed. We talked about it last night."

Li Ran was quite proud. "Mingchang is so happy."

"Really? That's great. Okay, you guys go back first. I'll go buy some meat."

After saying that, he opened the folding bicycle and set off. He came to the commune meat stall. The people there had just packed up their stall. When they saw Li Feng, they greeted him with a smile. Li Feng's name had already spread throughout the Maya Commune.

"Writer Li is here."

"How much meat do you want today?"

"Ten pounds first."

Phew! Wow! Even Guo the butcher was shocked. Ten kilograms, so much.

"There's something going on at home."

After saying that, he took out the meat coupons. Ten kilograms of meat coupons were equivalent to the amount for an ordinary person for half a year.

"More fat."

Li Feng thought that those guys and the families they belonged to probably hadn't eaten meat for quite some time, so more fat would be good.

"Come on."

The butcher also knew that Li Feng had a good relationship with the pig farm. He checked the meat ticket and found no problems, then took the money and cut the meat.

"Ten and a half pounds."

Calculated based on the ten kilograms of meat ticket, Li Feng paid the money, said thank you and planned to return to Hanjiaba. Such a large amount of meat was too eye-catching.

"Hey, Comrade Li Feng."

"Comrade Xiaofeng."

Li Feng saw that it was Wu Xiaofeng. "Are you here to buy meat too?"

"Yes."

Wu Xiaofeng saw Li Feng carrying a large piece of meat. Wow, it must be about ten pounds. An Jun was right. This guy was treated really well by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

"The meat is good today, haha, I'll go back first."

"Wait a minute, Comrade Li Feng."

Wu Xiaofeng hurriedly called out to Li Feng and others. "It just so happens that I've sorted out the letters from readers these past two days. Could you please bring them back later?"

"Row."

But Li Feng didn't expect that this time there would be so many letters and parcels, which was a bit scary. Why were there so many? Li Feng was a little confused. This was more than any other time. What was going on?
"This time there are more letters than before."

Wu Xiaofeng was actually quite surprised. Li Feng flipped through it and figured it out. "It's probably the combined influence of the nearly simultaneous publication of 'Scars' by People's Literature and Wenhui Daily."

"No wonder."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Li Feng packed the letters and parcels. Fortunately, he brought a lot of bags with him when he bought meat, otherwise it would be difficult to pack them. When he got home, Li Feng put the letters aside and opened a few parcels first.

"Red Sausage?"

Li Feng had never imagined he'd actually received a red sausage. He'd lied to himself the other day about a reader sending him the sausage, but he hadn't expected it to come true just one night. "And there's Capital Dim Sum, that's really thoughtful."

Nowadays, parcel delivery is quite rare and the price is not cheap. Problems often occur during transportation. I have to say that they really put a lot of thought into it to be delivered so quickly.

"this……."

There's even a copy of People's Literature sent to him. Li Feng smiled and shook his head, just as he was about to unwrap it and give Wu Xiaofeng a copy. "Put it aside for now." There wasn't much else, mostly local specialties. Fortunately, these days, the food you can eat is good.

After cleaning up, Li Feng brought the meat to the kitchen and divided it among Li Ran, Wu Xiaotian, Zheng Guanwen, Zheng Guanwu, Chen Zian, Chen Jingyi, and Zhang Xiaotian.

"There's not enough meat."

Li Feng figured it out, this guy's family couldn't even finish a pound and a half. "Cut another half sausage." He didn't have much, but half a sausage was enough. Add some cookies and candy, and it would be a perfect gift.

Thinking of this, Li Feng wrapped it in oil paper, put it in a net bag and carried it to the furniture factory.

"Li Ran, look."

Wu Xiaotian nudged Li Ran. "Little Fatty, what are you doing?"

Li Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead. As for the dirt on his face and body, he didn't have time to care. Everyone else was the same. It was hard not to be dirty in the countryside.

"Your old man is back."

Wu Xiaotian said in a low voice.

"Really, so soon?"

Li Ran turned around in delight and saw that it was indeed his son's betrayer, Old Deng, who had returned. "Let's go and take a look."

"Oh."

Wu Xiaotian thought to himself that he had been waiting for you to say this, and the little fat boy happily followed Li Ran.

"Stop it, let's go."

"what happened?"

Zheng Guanwu was polishing the furniture carefully. He thought it was quite fun, at least much better than smashing clods of earth.

"I've bought the meat."

Zheng Guanwen was a little speechless.

"Really, so soon?"

When Zheng Guanwu heard this, he stopped paying attention to the work in his hands and stood up happily. The other children also heard the noise and looked towards the door.

"cousin."

"How are you studying?"

Li Feng looked at Liu Wen, whose hair was a little messy. Liu Wen rolled her eyes. She had never done this kind of job before. She could just learn what she could and polish the furniture. As for how good it would be, forget it. Fortunately, it didn't require any skills.

It just needs to be polished flat and smooth, but the polishing stone is a bit abrasive, which makes her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Fortunately."

Wu Jing and Chen Long were relatively better off. As for Li Muchen, he had been working for several days and was already familiar with the job. Li Muchen could even make furniture by himself. Li Feng was quite surprised and asked Gao Ju about it. Gao Ju said that Li Muchen was quite talented and was almost catching up with the boss.

Well, I have some cheats. I don’t know how much time I spent learning in the simulated scene. I never thought that Li Muchen is so talented.

"what about you?"

Li Feng turned around and looked at Li Ran and the other kids.

“Still learning.”

"Oh, little brother, it looks like you're going to be in trouble."

"Li Ran and the others learn very quickly."

Li Muchen smiled and said, "Just slow down now, it will be fine slowly."

"What about the other kids?"

"almost."

Although the kids in the brigade are more hardworking, it is a fact that their little brains are not as smart as Li Ran and the others.

"That's not bad."

Li Feng wanted to know more, but who knew that Li Ran would secretly pull up the net bag.

"What are you doing, kid?"

“Meat.”

Li Ran said as a matter of course. "We paid for this."

"How can I not give it to you?"

Li Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could this child be like this? Was he too spoiled these days? "Who knew you were such a jerk?"

Well, this brat is really asking for a fight. Li Feng knocked Li Ran on the head. "Go, I'll give you some meat later."

"understood."

After finishing the work here and dismissing the workers in the morning, Li Feng handed the meat to Li Ran and the others. "By the way, don't eat too much."

"why?"

"You haven't eaten meat in a long time. Eating too much will easily cause diarrhea."

Li Feng was afraid of these children. They hadn't eaten meat for several days and couldn't help but eat too much. It would be troublesome if they had diarrhea. As for settling down and calling his sister-in-law, Li Feng didn't need to explain because every family knew about it.

If you don't eat meat for a long time, you can't eat too much, otherwise you will definitely get diarrhea.

"At noon, you can get some lard and lard residue to stir-fry some vegetables, and then have some meat in the evening."

"Oh."

Although Li Ran felt that Lao Deng was a bit of a rip-off, he never lied about such things.

I didn’t expect that eating meat these days is so particular. Li Ran plans to eat less himself next time. Mingchang must have not eaten meat for a long time.

"Let's go back."

Li Feng smiled as he watched Li Ran happily running to find Han Mingchang, holding the oil paper wrapped with pork, red sausage and other food, and talking and laughing as he went to his sister-in-law's house. This kid has become much more sensible, but he likes to talk back to him.

"cousin."

"Let's go, let's eat meat today."

Although there wasn't much meat left, the meat, sausage, tofu, and other side dishes were all there, and Liu Wen and the others were already enjoying it immensely. "What a feast!" Three dishes and a soup—it was definitely a feast here.

"To go with this delicious dish, I specially cooked white rice."

Li Feng said with a smile, "Let's have a good meal today."

"White Rice, is there any good news?"

Liu Wen found it unbelievable that they could even eat white rice.

"That's it."

Li Feng thought to himself, there must be some happy events, such as the sunken wood and huanghuali wood from the past few days, the publication of the article, and the completion of the manure pile. These are not all happy events.

"What happy event?"

"Does going home count?"

Li Feng blinked his eyes. Liu Wen, Chen Long and Wu Jing were all surprised when they heard it.

"Really?"

"Really? I'll send you back in three or four days."

"Three or four more days?"

Liu Wen thought she would be able to go back in the next two days, but who knew she would have to stay for several days.

"That's pretty quick. I thought I'd have to stay for another week or so."

Li Feng didn't expect that Li Ran and the others integrated so well. They didn't cry or make a fuss. It was unexpectedly smooth. It had to be said that Li Ran was a useful raft.

"Three or four days, it's okay, it's considered a happy event."

Chen Long said with a smile. "Cousin, don't you think so?"

"Yes."

Liu Wen rolled her eyes at Chen Long. "Eat, eat."

"Yes, eat."

Chen Long chuckled, and Li Feng muttered, there won't be anything going on between these two, and turned to look at Li Muchen. Wow, Li Muchen is even eating secretly. Then he looked at Wu Jing, who was eating even faster. Forget about Gao Ju and Gao Cheng brothers.

While they were eating, on the other side, it was lively at home where Li Ran and his children were. They didn't expect that these children could bring back so much meat, and they had never eaten what was called red sausage, as well as biscuits and candies.

The children were extremely happy, as they couldn't eat so much meat even during the Chinese New Year.

"That's nothing. I'll ask Lao Deng to bring some more meat later."

Li Ran waved his hands with a certain amount of pride. "This little bit of meat is nothing," he said. "I'll buy more meat later and have Lao Deng bring it over." As for him, he didn't want to come. He still had a lot of homework to do.

"This Li Feng."

Han Wangshi's head ached from hearing her grandson crying. "Why are you always shouting at that widow for all the good things?"

"I'm afraid he has some ideas about yelling."

"Ah."

Li Feng sneezed and wondered what was going on. Could it be that he caught a cold early in the morning? That couldn't be possible, as he was in good health.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay, everyone continue opening the letters."

Li Feng rubbed his nose and continued to open the letters. There were too many letters from readers and he couldn't read them all by himself, so he called Liu Wen and others to read them together. It happened that they had nothing to do.

"Boss Li."

Liu Wen held up a letter she had just opened. "There's a little fangirl out there. Do you want to write her a letter back? They're treating you like a boy."

"What male god?"

Li Feng muttered, where can you find a male god these days?

"That's what I mean."

Liu Wen said with a smile, "Would you like to take a look? There are photos here."

“It’s really pretty.”

Liu Wen became more and more excited as she spoke, and Wu Jing and Chen Long also echoed her. As for Li Muchen, he was laughing secretly on the side. "Don't talk nonsense."

What a joke! If Li Ran knew about this, he would be so angry that he would make trouble for himself. He has a lot of complaints about his father.

"Seriously, it's really pretty."

Liu Wen said with a smile, "I'd like you to write back, preferably with an autograph. Of course, an autographed photo would be even better."

"Say, do you want to take a few pictures?"

Liu Wen looked at Li Feng. "Don't mention it, Boss Li, you really look quite young. I don't know if they would think you were in your thirties."

This Liu Wen was deliberately squeezing him. Li Feng was speechless. But after screwing them over once, what a big deal. "Let it go for now, we'll talk about it later."

They open the letters, one to see what the reader says, and the other to take off some stamps that may be valuable.

"Clean up, I'll be going to work soon."

Seeing that Liu Wen and the others wanted to say something, Li Feng clapped his hands.

"Hahaha, Boss Li, there are only three of us, why are you still shy?"

Li Feng was speechless. Three was not enough. Alas, this charm was too great. He had no choice. Of course, Li Ran couldn't know about this, otherwise this kid would go back and tell her mother something, which would be troublesome.

Fortunately, Li Ran could not reveal anything about the system, but if this guy hinted at something about how he could attract older sisters and younger aunts, he would have to suffer.

"Alas, when you have a child who is a bit rebellious, being a father is also quite helpless."

Li Feng sighed. It’s true that the girl in the photo is really pretty.

"What's the name? I just forgot to look it up."

Li Feng muttered, "It seems to be from the Magic City. I always feel that he looks familiar." "I don't want to think about it anymore."

In the afternoon, Li Feng went to the furniture factory to work with everyone.

"Lao Deng, won't you polish the furniture with me?"

Li Ran asked curiously when he saw that Li Feng did not follow them.

"You kid, your memory is not good. Didn't I tell you this morning that I'm a carpenter, so of course I have to do some technical work?" Li Feng boasted to his big-headed son with a bit of frivolity. "I'm a skilled worker, unlike you guys."

"Tch, I don't believe it."

Li Ran muttered. "When did you learn carpentry? You must be kidding me."

"You didn't believe it this morning."

Li Feng was a little speechless, this kid. "Okay, come on, I'll teach you what a carpenter is."

"Uncle, can we learn from you?"

Wu Xiaotian and the others came over when they heard this, along with Liu Wen, Wu Jing, and Chen Long, who were curious. Could Li Feng really be a carpenter? (End of this chapter)
