As soon as Li Xiangyang, Li Xiangdong, and Zhao Lijuan stepped inside, they saw Wang Guiying and Liu Xiulan surrounding Li Zhenshan, seemingly discussing something.

"Dad, what are you doing?" Zhao Lijuan asked curiously as she approached.

"Secretary Chen just brought over a radio ticket, saying it's a prize for outstanding individuals in Xiangyang," Wang Guiying said, pointing to the slightly yellowed radio ticket on the table.

"What? A radio ticket!" Zhao Lijuan immediately perked up upon hearing this. "Mom, let me see it quickly! I've never seen a radio ticket before!"

After listening, Li Xiangdong also went over to join in. He had never seen a radio ticket before and was very curious.

"Xiangyang, when did you become so tight-lipped? You didn't even tell me about this prize." Zhao Lijuan picked up the ticket and began to examine it carefully.

Li Xiangyang grinned, hung the cashmere coat he had taken off on the wooden rack by the wall, and replied, "I just mentioned it to Uncle Guodong a couple of days ago, I didn't expect him to take it seriously and get it over so quickly."

"Wow, your casual remark carries a lot of weight. Radio tickets aren't so easy to get."

Of course, even if you manage to get your hands on it, you might not have the money to buy it.

As Zhao Lijuan spoke, she carefully placed the ticket back on the table as if it were an egg: "You know Sun the money-grubber's house at the village entrance, right?"

"Sun the Money-Grubber?" Li Xiangyang was momentarily confused, then quickly searched his memory: "Oh, I remember now, you're talking about the richest man in our village, right?"

"Rich family? What rich family?" Zhao Lijuan scratched her head. At this time, she didn't have the concept of the richest family, so she didn't understand. So she said, "Well, it's the richest family in our village."

"Yes, I know his family. What's up?"

"I know his second daughter-in-law. They bought a radio this June, but they treasure it and won't let anyone else touch it," Zhao Lijuan said, then scratched Liu Xiulan with her hand.

"Xiulan, do you remember the last time I took you to his house to listen to opera? After a short while, Sun Caimi's wife started to jokingly tell us to leave, saying that there were too many people and that they would break the radio."

"You made me so angry, you're so petty!"

As Zhao Lijuan spoke, she became increasingly angry, and her hands unconsciously went to her waist, as if she were about to start a big fight at the slightest disagreement.

"Is that so...?" Li Xiangyang looked at Liu Xiulan.

last life,

He was a very unreliable husband. Even if Liu Xiulan suffered grievances outside, she would never come back to tell him, so he had no recollection of it.

"Mmm." Liu Xiulan blushed and nodded in agreement.

"Then let's buy one another day and invite the whole village to listen," Li Xiangdong said loudly.

He can tolerate being bullied by others when he's not around, but he can't stand it when his wife is being bullied.

"Alright, alright, since you young people have decided to buy it, then buy it!" Seeing this, Li Zhenshan slammed his hand on the table.

Decided.

"Yay...yay! We can listen to a radio!" Li Chunsheng jumped up immediately when he heard that his family was going to buy a radio.

The purchase of the radio was settled, because Zhao Lijuan had gone to help Li Xiangdong catch fish early that day, so they returned relatively early.

After a short rest, Li Xiangdong went to inspect the sheep pens at the ranch again. It had snowed several times in the past two days, and he needed to shovel the snow off the sheep pens to prevent them from collapsing under the weight of the snow.

Li Xiangyang had already visited several places, but he was too tired to go with them. He took off his cotton-padded clothes and went to the kang (a heated brick bed) to play with Li Doudou, enjoying some rare father-daughter time.

"Call me... Dad, DouDou, hurry up, call me... Dad." Li Xiangyang lifted Li DouDou up with both hands and patiently taught her to speak.

"Hehe, ah..... 8, 88, 888..." Li Doudou seemed to know how to be shy, her chubby face kept giggling, revealing two cute little teeth.

It was blowing bubbles and mumbling "Aba aba" indistinctly.

It amused everyone.

Seeing his adorable little daughter, Li Xiangyang felt all his fatigue suddenly disappear.

"Alright, give DouDou to me, she must be hungry." Liu Xiulan walked over and whispered to Li Xiangyang, then picked up Li DouDou and headed to the west room.

"Hungry, oh!" Li Xiangyang immediately understood that Liu Xiulan was going to feed Li Doudou, so he quickly got up and followed her.

"Xiangyang, weren't you tired? Why didn't you rest in the main room? What are you doing here?"

Liu Xiulan had just lifted her clothes to feed Li Doudou when she saw Li Xiangyang push the door open and lock it.

Li Xiangyang grinned slyly and rubbed his hands together, saying, "Dou Dou is hungry, and his dad is hungry too..."

"Forehead......?"

Liu Xiulan was quite helpless and glared at Li Xiangyang.

then,

He watched with a look of utter despair as the other half of his clothes was slowly lifted up.

She suddenly became a little worried about whether Li Doudou had enough food. A few days ago, they almost ran out of food, and it was only after drinking crucian carp soup for more than a week that they were able to make up for it.

This time I'll have to raise two kids...

moment,

As Li Xiangyang drank, he felt it wasn't enough, so he leaned in and started drinking. Just as he was getting into it, he heard someone calling him from outside.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, the straw is back!" It was Liu Jianguo who brought the straw over.

However, his repeated calls of "brother-in-law" sounded so grating to Li Xiangyang's ears.

Li Xiangyang looked utterly dejected, rolled his eyes, and pulled up his pants, ready to leave: "Coming."

Liu Xiulan, however, became gloating and said with a wicked grin, "If you've got guts, don't run away!"

"Little brat... I'll show you what I'm made of tonight." Li Xiangyang said threateningly, then pushed open the door and left.

"Brother-in-law, the straw we harvested these past two days has all been delivered."

We took a shortcut and didn't encounter anyone along the way. They're unloading their cargo at the ranch right now.

Upon seeing Li Xiangyang emerge, Liu Jianguo immediately stepped forward to report to him.

He thought he had handled the matter brilliantly!

His tone was full of pride, his eyes wide open, anticipating Li Xiangyang's next praise.

but,

Li Xiangyang's face showed no emotion; he simply said softly, "I understand."

no way,

He was still angry that Liu Jianguo had ruined his plans twice.

However, he noticed that Liu Jianguo was in a very excited state today.

The ranch is not far from the Li family's house; it's only a ten-minute walk away.

As soon as Li Xiangyang arrived, he saw that more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages had completely surrounded the hay storage area of ​​the ranch.

Li Xiangdong was directing everyone to unload the hay.

"Is it enough money to hire so many carriages at once?" Li Xiangyang asked, looking at the dense crowd.

"That's enough. The loading and unloading of hay and the round trip took less than 4 hours, and I paid them 1 yuan. Usually, they work more than 10 hours a day and only earn less than 2 yuan."

As he spoke, Liu Jianguo handed the remaining 8 yuan to Li Xiangyang.

At this moment, all the grooms saw Liu Jianguo and Li Xiangyang approaching and greeted them in unison, "Hello, Brother Liu!"

Liu Jianguo grinned, waved to them, and introduced, "This is my brother-in-law."

Everyone shouted in unison, "Hello, brother-in-law!"

Li Xiangyang glanced at Liu Jianguo and said, "So that's why you're so happy today. It turns out you've been getting carried away by these guys calling you 'Brother Liu'."

really,

Men are most obsessed with power!

"After we finish our work, each of us will get an extra bottle of Big White Pear Soda."

Li Xiangyang shouted loudly to the crowd.

In this era,

Inviting a worker to drink a bottle of Da Bai Li soda is a very prestigious thing to do.

really,

As soon as Li Xiangyang finished speaking, the group of grooms cheered.

"Long live brother-in-law! Long live brother-in-law!"

Liu Jianguo joined in the commotion, and seeing how enthusiastically he was shouting, Li Xiangyang suddenly grinned mischievously at him and whispered:

"All expenses today will be paid by Young Master Liu."

"Forehead………?"

Liu Jianguo immediately pouted...
