Evening. The Li family’s new house!
The entire Lao Li family was sitting around the big kang in the main room, preparing to eat.
And just as dinner was being served, Li Yi suddenly said: "Father, mother, everyone, stop for a moment. I have something I want to discuss with you!"
Li Shankui put his eldest grandson Li Yunrui on his lap, but said nothing, but looked at Li Yi.
The second sister, Li Lan, was bringing rice to her son Zhang Ning and said, "Why is it so formal?"
"It's like this. My business in the capital is a little busy, and I want my eldest sister to come to the capital to help me!"
Then Li Yi said again: "The eldest brother-in-law also agreed. As expected, the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law will go to the capital next..."
Before he finished speaking, the second sister said with a surprised face: "Going to the capital? What about the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law's work in the sugar factory? Isn't it going to be lost? That would be a pity?"
Li Yi smiled and said: "We will discuss this later. Now I want to ask you and your second brother-in-law what you think. Do you want to go to the capital with me to develop?"
The second sister did not refuse, but frowned and said, "We haven't graduated from either literacy class, and we don't know a lot of Chinese characters. What can we do in a big city like Beijing?"
"Why does this sound so depressing?" Li Yi said with a smile.
"This is frustrating, isn't this a little worrying!"
Then the second sister said again: "I heard from my parents that the capital is very big. There are alleys everywhere, and even the bathroom door has writing on it. You said that your second brother-in-law and I went there together?" I can’t tell the difference between the men’s and women’s bathrooms!”
Li Yi shook his head and said: "So after you go to the capital, making money is the second most important thing. The most important thing is to see more and learn more!"
"How to learn?"
"My idea is that after you go to the capital, just like the third sister, help in the store first. After you become familiar with the operation mode of the store, you can open a branch outside."
Then Li Yi continued: "Or I can send you two to the company, study while working, and come out to help me when the opportunity is right in the future."
Li Yi knew the second sister's ability. Although she didn't know much about literacy, she was very courageous in doing things. In comparison, the second brother-in-law was much more cautious.
As long as she learns well and becomes familiar with the various processes of business operation, there will be no problem in taking charge of a small company.
"Zhang Xuefeng, what do you think?"
The second brother-in-law on the side said hurriedly: "I don't have any ideas, just do whatever you say!"
Li Yi couldn't help but smile when he heard the words of his second brother-in-law who were full of desire for survival.
"Second brother-in-law, this is a big deal for you after all. This departure may last a lifetime, so think about it before making a decision!"
When Zhang Xuefeng heard what his brother-in-law said, he immediately smiled and said, "What else is there to think about? The third child is already in the capital, and the eldest sister's family will also go there now. We will definitely not be left behind."
"It can't be said that in another two years, his grandma and grandpa will have to pass, sooner or later!"
"Then you agree to go there together?" Li Lan asked with a smile.
"I definitely have to go, but I want to go there in the winter!"
"why?"
Zhang Xuefeng immediately said: "It's almost September, and the autumn harvest is coming soon. I've been working hard for half a year, why don't I wait until the crops are harvested and the money and food are divided before leaving!"
"Furthermore, this year we collected more than 40,000 kilograms of mushrooms and spent five to six thousand yuan on them. We can't just leave them alone!"
The second sister Li Lan also said: "That's okay. We can just finish taking care of things in the village and then go to the capital. That way we can leave with peace of mind."
At this moment, the father on the side suddenly said: "Then you just leave like this. Do you still want to divide the land in the village?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Later, the eldest sister and the second sister's family all looked at Li Yi, and their meaning was obvious.
Li Yi thought for a while and said: "Yes, this land allocation is very important. Once you don't want it, you may never have another chance in the future. At least get it first."
"Is it okay if I don't get the job?" my father asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, if we don't grow it, we can let others grow it. Anyway, as long as we don't miss out on the agricultural tax," Li Yi said.
"Okay, let's do this..."
...........
After dinner, Li Yi said hello to his family and took Zhang Ziqiang out.
He first went to Dongzi and Qiangzi's families and handed over the money and belongings they brought back to their parents one by one.
Later, Li Yi came to the puppy's house.
The lights in Xiaochouwa's home are on, but judging from the dim and unstable brightness, they should still be using kerosene lamps.
When Li Yi walked into the house, he saw a kerosene lamp in the kitchen of the main room, and Er Gouzi was squatting in front of the stove and pulling the bellows hard.
The faint aroma wafting from the pot must be cooking.
Because the sound of the bellows was very loud and it was completely dark outside the house, Ergouzi did not notice anyone coming until he heard Li Yi's slight cough.
Turning around, Ergouzi saw it was Li Yi through the faint light, and immediately said happily: "Brother Yi, why are you here? Come in quickly!"
"Where's your brother? Why didn't you see him?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
"My brother went to the sheepfold. There is a ewe that is going to give birth to a lamb today. He has to guard it!" Ergouzi said.
"How come your brother is keeping watch? Where are the other people in the village?"
"No one in our village knows how to pick up lambs except my brother. Since my brother learned how to pick up lambs from the commune's veterinarian Cui a few months ago, whether it's lambs or calves, everything in the village depends on him!" Ergouzi said with a look on his face. Said proudly.
"Well done!" Li Yi said sincerely.
The movement outside the house alarmed the two little girls in the house, and they came out to check the situation.
When they saw it was Li Yi, they all ran over happily, and then chattered around Li Yi.
Li Yi was also very happy. When a large bag of pastries and a large bag of fruits bought from the county were handed to Daya and Erya, the two little guys became even more happy.
Just as he was talking, there was a sound of "Bata" and "Bata" footsteps coming from outside the gate.
Li Yi was about to turn around to check when he heard Er Gouzi say: "Brother Yi, it's my brother who's back!"
Sure enough, before anyone entered the house, Li Yi heard the voice of Xiao Xiaowa: "Second brother, is Brother Buyi here?"
"Brother, it's Brother Yi who's here!"
"Then bring me a quick vest and bring me a basin of water!"
"Okay, just wait!"
Hearing the sound, Li Yi immediately walked out of the main room and saw the puppy walking towards him, but this guy stopped three or four meters away from him.
Then with the faint light coming from the room, Li Yi saw that the puppy had grown taller, but still a little thin.
Li Yi immediately wanted to step forward, but he heard Xiao Xiaowa hurriedly say: "Brother Yi, don't come over. I just finished picking up the lamb, and it smells bad!"
"What's the point? We are not rich young masters from the official family. We are all children who grew up in the village. We are afraid of the strong taste!"
With that said, Li Yi strode over!
As soon as he got close, Li Yi found that the vest on the puppy's body was full of stains, and there were even blood stains on his hands and arms. There was indeed a particularly strong and choking smell on his body.
"Is it like this every time you pick up a lamb?" Li Yi asked with a frown.
"That's not true. The lamb couldn't come down today. I reached in and took it out, so it was a little dirty!"
Just as he was talking, Little Dog had already brought out the water basin.
Apparently he had seen this situation a lot, and when he came out, he took out a piece of soap the size of a baby's fist.
At that moment, the puppy took off his vest and washed his body in the yard...
