Li Laifu took the small bowl and led the little girl to the door. He finally figured out the reason why Zhao Fang didn't leave the door. Maybe it was because of the envelope with work quota at home?
Let the little girl stand in his arms and feed the rice with chopsticks.
"Big brother, it's good... to eat."
Although Li Laifu is feeding? She still has to pick up the grains of sand in the rice. Now the little girl can say "big brother" more and more fluently.
After taking a mouthful of rice, she was fed a piece of mutton. The little girl smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed and she covered her mouth with her little hands. The mutton piece was a bit big and she was afraid that the soup would fall out. Not to mention how cute she looked.
I picked out five or six grains of sand from a small bowl of rice, and finally finished the meal, making the little girl enjoy the meal.
Li Laifu carried the little girl into the courtyard, handed the bowl to Zhao Fang at the door and said, "Auntie, I'll take Xiaohong to the supply and marketing cooperative."
Suddenly a question came to mind and he said: "Auntie! Don't make that rice into porridge! You have never eaten dry rice, so let's try it today."
Zhao Fang hesitated for a moment, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay! Aunt! I'll listen to you." In Zhao Fang's heart, her family Laifu was a very capable person, so it was right to listen to him.
Although Zhao Fang's idea is somewhat realistic, what hope can an uneducated woman have?
Zhao Fang added: "It's okay to take your sister to play with Laifu! But your sister must be full after eating a small bowl of dry rice and mutton. Don't spend money on her."
Li Laifu promised, but it's a completely different story when he gets there.
When we arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, it was rare that old man Qiao was also standing at the counter. These people's faces were all red today, and they were probably sharing the meat today.
As soon as the little girl walked to the door, she pointed at the popsicle box. Old man Qiao asked directly: "Little Laifu, have you thought about it? Who is coming?" The four people next to him didn't have any surprised expressions. They were probably dividing the meat today. Everything has been said.
"Uncle Qiao has thought about it, let my aunt come!"
Old man Qiao sighed and said with emotion: "You are indeed a sensible kid. From this incident, it seems that your stepmother treats you well. Your stepmother will be blessed in the future."
Li Laifu has a stepmother. These people have known about it for a long time. There are countless people in the alley who come to the supply and marketing cooperative every day to gossip! There are so many people who gossip about their wives, and in this day and age? There are no secrets in the alley itself.
Old man Qiao said with emotion: "Okay, the next door will be demolished the day after tomorrow, and it will take two days to clean up. Next Monday, come directly to work with your household registration book and street certification letter. Just give them to me. I will give them to you. It's done." He wanted to get Li Laifu over, and then... God is not as good as man, but this kid is still a filial son, but is it okay for his stepmother to come over?
Li Laifu has no interest in working here at all. 50 square meters? six people? Stand here every day? After three days of gossiping at work, all that's left is probably staring at each other.
"Big brother...water."
He was so busy talking that he forgot about the little girl wanting to drink popsicle water.
Li Laifu pointed behind Aunt Liu and said, "How much does Aunt Liu's military kettle cost?"
"One dollar and sixty cents," Aunt Liu opened her mouth and handed it directly to Li Laifu.
Li Laifu looked at Old Man Qiao and said, "Uncle Qiao, I don't have a ticket!"
Old man Qiao glared at him and said, "You took everything away, what else did you say to me? Xiao Liu, write it down alone," and then walked towards the office.
Li Laifu smiled and handed over one dollar and sixty cents, and then poured some water from the faucet to wash the inside. Everyone was confused, what did Li Laifu want to do?
He put another two cents on the counter and said, "Aunt Liu, give me some popsicle water."
Aunt Liu walked out from the counter and said, "Isn't it nice to use a teapot? Why spend that wasted money?"
The process of filling popsicle water? Although it was troublesome, Aunt Liu took the teapot and filled the kettle.
He took a folding knife and cut a section of willow branch from the willow tree at the door. The bark at both ends of the willow branch was cut with the knife. After a few twists, a willow branch tube came out. This was something he often played with when he was in the orphanage in his previous life.
Returning to the supply and marketing cooperative, I cut off the green bark at both ends of the pipe with a knife, then inserted it into the military kettle to make a straw for the little girl.
The little girl was stunned, wondering what the big brother was doing? Li Laifu put the straw into her mouth and she was done.
Now I found something to play with, and I just sat there without making any noise.
Aunt Liu leaned on the counter and said: "Laifu, when you get married and have a child, that child will be so happy. Who would have thought? This willow branch? It can also be made into a pipe for children to drink water."
The monkey came over and said: "You are such a young man? Why do you feel like an old woman? You are quite good at taking care of children?"
Li Laifu rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Monkey, if you are beaten to death one day, it will be because of your bad mouth."
Monkey said excitedly: "Little Laifu, Brother Monkey praised you this time. Why do you still say that Brother was beaten to death?"
Li Laifu shook his head and said: "Brother Monkey, you should praise Brother Erbao. I will refuse you to praise me in the future."
Qian Erbao shook his head like a rattle and said: Laifu, please spare me! I want to live for two more years, your brother. "
The monkey looked at Qian Erbao's bearish look and said, "For your virtue, I will not hesitate to praise you?"
"I thank you eight generations of ancestors!" Qian Erbao said with a bow.
Li Laifu looked at the two workers, and they all looked like two generals. The happiness of the supply and marketing cooperative was entirely due to these two people.
Qian Erbao first said: "Laifu, make me a willow branch too. I'll go back and give it to my son to play with."
"You are shouting nonsense, as if no one has a son, Laifu will make one for Brother Monkey."
After finishing two straws, it was too late, and people from the supply and marketing cooperative started to arrive, all of whom had just gotten off work.
Li Laifu held the little girl and also held a military kettle. The little girl only weighed more than ten pounds, and she had to hang a kettle weighing three to four pounds around her neck.
Returning to the entrance of the compound and taking a look at home, Zhao Fang was probably cooking dinner. She sat at the entrance of the compound and looked at the people who were getting off work. Everyone was riding a cloth bag, and most of them contained lunch boxes. In order to get more food from the factory at noon, even if the food in the factory does not have meat? But the oil and water are also a little bigger, and the two taels of oil every month at home are reluctant to eat casually.
A child came over. Li Laifu still knew him, and Jiang Yuan pooped the child out of the paper.
"Brother, is Jiang Yuan at home?"
"He hasn't finished school yet, why are you looking for him?" Li Laifu asked.
The child replied seriously: "I poop with him."
Li Laifu was stunned.
The child continued: "I brought two pieces of paper today."
Li Laifu teased him and said, "Then your family is so luxurious. You even dare to use two pieces of paper to wipe your butt."
The child nodded seriously, "Yes!"
It made Li Laifu laugh. How could a person with a soul in his 30s not understand what this kid meant? I guess it was the candy he gave me that day...
He took out a small candy bar and asked him, "What's your name?"
The child was very polite, took the candy and replied: "Thank you, brother, my name is Zhang Weiguo."
Li Laifu nodded. This is the correct way to open it. In the past, when I read chronology, it was called Jianshe, Weiguo, Jianguo. In fact, they were all wrong. People born before 49 years ago? Except for the children in the military compound, ordinary people really don't dare to use this name. After all, almost all the people who had children in 1949 went through the war, and ordinary people are still cautious. People with these names will only be in their teens in 1960. Little broken boy.
