Li Dahe came back from the fields and sighed to Aunt Li while sipping his cold drink: "The primary school is doing well, and the rest of the educated youth are just work material. It doesn't worry me at all."
Aunt Li was making a quilt on the kang. When she heard this, she rolled her eyes and said to him: "Now that you're done worrying, shouldn't it be time to worry about Xiaoshan's marriage? You don't care about anything and let your in-laws take care of it in the end."
Aunt Li's mentality has been a bit depressed recently.
In addition to housework, she is also busy with her youngest son's wedding. She is like a spinning top all day long, so much so that now she feels annoyed by everyone and dislikes everything she looks at.
"Who is trying to find fault? Hong Zi?" Li Dahe said casually, before realizing the seriousness of the situation, "I would believe it if you were someone else!"
Aunt Li's hand holding the needle paused, then nodded helplessly: "That's true."
But she immediately remembered another thing, and stuck a needle into the half-finished quilt, and put one leg under the bed: "I have to ask Miss Wen how Daxi's clothes are doing."
"Hey, where are you going?" Li Dahe waved to her, "Principal Wu is giving those brats bah, bah... Oh, they're training!"
Aunt Li was a little confused and stopped putting on her shoes: "What do you mean?"
"Ah, just teach them how to teach." Li Dahe said, "Don't make trouble. What's the point of wearing clothes one day early and one day late?"
Aunt Li was immediately unhappy. She glared at Li Dahe and made the slap snap: "What do you mean, one day early and one day late? What if we don't finish it before we get married?"
Having said that, she did not continue to put on her shoes.
Li Dahe was frightened when his wife looked like a tiger.
He wiped his hair and whispered: "Then let's wear it after the big wedding."
Aunt Li's eyes almost rolled to the sky: "When your upper lip touches your lower lip, you speak so lightly! What are you going to wear when we get married? Let Daxi wear old clothes? I borrowed the cloth ticket from Girl Lin. You prick your hands and paws every day and don't care about anything..."
Li Dahe was spinning around on the ground, not daring to look at Aunt Li.
Aunt Li was even more annoyed by his wandering around: "Where are you doing?"
Li Dahe silently retracted his stepped foot.
He took another sip of water, held his breath and waited for a while, then took the teapot and rubbed it outside: "Then let me go and see how the roof of the educated youth camp looks like..."
When talking about the educated youth, Li Dahe remembered something, and quickly used it to interrupt, trying to divert his wife's anger: "Oh, yes, I saw the list of educated youth who came back this time, and the only ones who came to our place are two lesbians. Came from the capital."
"This is so rare. Why are you coming from the capital again?" Aunt Li's attention was diverted, "When will you come?"
"On the 16th," Li Dahe breathed a sigh of relief, "You said, why don't I take Lin Zhiqing to pick her up before tomorrow? We are all fellow villagers, so we should be able to chat together, right?"
Aunt Li picked up the needle again, pressed the needle into her hair twice before saying, "You can take it with you. I think Lin Yatou has been holding back a lot these days. Let's take her out for a walk."
"You're kind to her." Li Dahe curled his lips and looked at Aunt Li sourly.
"If you're not good to her, why are you good? You're so old-faced that I'm almost going to vomit. You don't have a nice word to say with that broken mouth. You don't even know how to hold the oil bottle when it falls over every day. I brought my old son from my parents' home. What's going on? You're about to get married, how are you..."
Li Dahe was covered in cold sweat: "Well, I'll go to the educated youth center to work with them."
"You just know how to run! Can I eat you or what?"
"Then what else do you have to do? I'll take care of you."
"What can you do? I'm counting on you, the day lilies are completely cold!"
"..."
"Brother Li, are you at home?"
A call came from the courtyard.
Sounds like nature.
Li Dahe stumbled out with the teapot in hand, shouting in response: "Yes, yes, yes, yes!"
He Aimin had just been helped off the bullock cart by his youngest son, and before he could remember to use crutches, he saw a black whirlwind whizzing in front of him.
He Aimin was so scared that he sat on the ground.
When Li Dahe saw him coming, he grimaced and said, "It's you, Lao He... then, come in and sit down."
If it were someone else, he could take someone out for a walk.
But it was He Aimin who had limited mobility and could not enter the house without being invited.
He Aimin stared at Li Dahe's walnut-skinned face and asked, "What happened?"
"Nothing, nothing." Li Dahe quickly took his arm and led him inside, "Come on, let's go into the house and talk."
Aunt Li also came out when she heard the commotion and greeted warmly: "Lao He is here. Oh, this is Jianjun, right? He is much stronger than before. Come on, come in and sit down... Your brother Xiaoshan is getting married next month There's a lot of commotion at home, don't laugh at my aunt."
Aunt Li's evil anger was all directed at Li Dahe, and she didn't show any face to the guests.
He Jianjun greeted him with a naive smile and helped He Aimin into the house.
He Aimin didn't even have time to take a sip of water, so he grabbed Li Dahe's wrist and asked: "Brother Li, tell me the truth, how is the primary school in your brigade?"
"Ah?" Li Dahe pretended to be confused, "Why do you ask?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid with me," He Aimin glared at him, "Well, when Wang Wei was here, I had the title of accountant, and I couldn't take care of anything. That bitch is a loser. I have no business doing this. Can the folks do something practical?"
Li Dahe habitually smoothed down a few hairs on his head, then sat on the edge of the kang and said: "Actually, there's nothing I can't tell you... The school is newly built, with six rooms, and the back is also designated. We have a private plot of land, and the tables, chairs and benches are all newly made by my second son.”
"Principal Wu is very capable. He used to be the principal of Lan County High School. Brother, if you think about it yourself, others can manage the high school, but you can't manage the elementary school?"
"Teacher, you are from the Educated Youth Examination of our brigade. I don't even have to say anything about your education. I've watched a few brats, and they all have this kind of character."
Li Dahe gave a thumbs up, shook it twice and said emphatically: "And, there is an educated youth named Lin Nianhe among them, who has passed 100 in Chinese and arithmetic. That girl was a literacy class teacher before, and she came from the capital. , knowledgeable and enlightened.”
He Aimin smacked his lips for a while, then nodded: "Then I heard that you will be given notebooks and pens when you go to school? In the future, Shanglan County high school students will be assigned to work in factories?"
Li Dahe's eyes instantly turned into bells: "What? Become a worker? Who said that? I'll read it first if there's such a good thing!"
He Aimin's heart froze: "Then, the gifts and so on are all fake?"
Li Dahe thought about the lotus paintings in his little girl's room, and said, "That's not necessarily true. This is it. Let's ask Principal Wu and the others. They decided these. Let her chat with you."
"Hey, okay!"
Because He Aimin's legs were inconvenient, He Jianjun carried him on his back. Li Dahe took a cane and walked quickly towards the village primary school.
"Hey, principal, please don't curse, I'm just giving you an example..."
"You're holding up a hazelnut! Come down here!"
"Put the shovel down and I'll come down!"
"I'll let you go as soon as you come down!"
"Then I don't."
"Lin! Nian! He!"
He Aimin lay on his son's back and slowly turned his head to look at Li Dahe.
He pointed at the person on the wall and asked with some uncertainty: "That one shouldn't be the educated youth from the capital who took double hundred exams as you mentioned just now, right?"
Li Dahe trembled and clenched his crutches loudly.
All he wanted now was to poke that little brat off the wall.
