Li Chongwu said seriously: "Laifu, my second uncle knows that you are very capable, so he won't be polite to you. If you can help your two brothers improve their lives, your second aunt and I are already very grateful."
The second aunt also nodded and said: "We have eaten meat here many times. We can't always eat here and waste our own food. We should work for the brigade and eat at the brigade."
There is nothing wrong with this. Farmers in this era are indeed working for the brigade. From the oldest to the youngest, a family only gets a few yuan a year. The key is to give money. Without receipts, it is useless.
Li Laifu said seriously: "Second uncle, second aunt, you work hard every day and your health is exhausted. I will make some delicious food to replenish your health."
"Laifu, don't waste food. The team will eat wild vegetables and corn paste tonight. Your uncle and I will go down to eat," the second aunt insisted.
"Second Aunt, I brought back the chicken today, so don't refuse. We are all a family, so don't be polite anymore," Li Laifu said without refusing.
Just say that in the nine years that Li Chongwen has been in the city, his second uncle and his wife have taken good care of his grandparents. Li Laifu will not treat them badly. Although Li Chongwen is his biological son, he is not as filial as his adopted son.
I have been fetching water and chopping firewood for several years, and my second aunt was even scolded and told that she never said a word back. This is quite good. Without this second son, the old man and the old lady might get sick just thinking about their son and grandson. With this person, she likes to interfere. Li Chongwu, who has nothing to do but scold him, must have played a big role.
The old lady waved her hand and said: "Listen to my eldest grandson, you can eat as much as you are told. There is so much nonsense."
Li Chongwu glanced at the old lady and said, "Okay, wife, let's just listen to my mother's words!"
The old lady held the sole of her shoe and said, "If you don't listen to me, I won't be able to beat you to death."
The second aunt smiled and said: "Today we borrowed the light from our family again, so I'll light the fire."
Li Laifu took out the beggar's chicken in the clay ball and chopped it into pieces, boiled a pot of water in a large pot, scooped out a bowl of rice, and prepared to cook rice and chicken porridge, otherwise the two-pound chicken would not be enough for everyone. Stuff between teeth.
"Okay Laifu, there's a lot more," the second aunt shouted while lighting the fire. She started to stop it from the first bowl, and until the third bowl, it was Li Laifu who rushed to pour it into the pot.
"My mother, are you eating dried rice?"
Li Laifu smiled and said: "Second Aunt, I have brought dozens of kilograms of rice, feel free to eat it!"
"I won't light the fire for you, it hurts me so much," the second aunt said.
Li Laifu stirred the rice in the pot with a spoon. When making porridge, you must stir it, otherwise it will really burn the bottom.
"Chongwu, come and light the fire, I'll call those two bastards back," the second aunt shouted standing at the door of the kitchen.
Li Laifu can also understand that these people have come from hard times, how can they be as confident as he is.
I can't finish the rice and white noodles, I can't finish them at all.
Li Chongwu went into the kitchen and took a look at the porridge cooked by Li Laifu and said, "No wonder your second aunt wants to run away. You put so much rice and you still don't feel sorry for her."
Li Chongwu clucked his lips and said, "We in the village don't dare to put your rice in our meals, let alone rice."
"Brother, big brother, what delicious food did you cook?" Bruce Lee, Li Xiaohu ran in.
"It's rice, it's rice. Brother, the eldest brother made rice porridge for us. There was chicken in it. I smelled it. You must not know the smell of chicken because you didn't eat chicken at noon," Li Xiaohu said while lying on the pot table.
Li Laifu thought to himself that this kid really had a bad rap. He didn't know how many beatings this kid would have to take if he left tomorrow.
"Laifu, are you beating Xiaolong with your hands today?" the second aunt came in and asked.
Li Laifu nodded and said, "Yes, this kid was disobedient today."
The second aunt said: "Don't hit me with your hands next time."
Li Laifu wondered whether his second aunt felt sorry for his son?
The second aunt said lightly: "His head is broken. If he hits your hand again, it will hurt. Next time, you can use a bamboo stick or a wooden stick to hit your hand so it won't hurt."
Li Laifu looked at Bruce Lee with a smile.
Bruce Lee was already trembling and said: "Brother, I will definitely be obedient from now on and never dare to do it again."
Li Chongwu said jokingly: "Laifu, don't wait for him to disobey, beat him even if he is obedient, beat the disobedient first."
Li Laifu felt a little sympathy for this younger brother. How did this pair of parents get together?
After the porridge was put on the table, Li Chongwu said with a smile: "Laifu, how can you make this porridge? It can stand upright even if you insert a chopstick. If you are in the brigade, you can at least add three large pots of water."
The second aunt ate the rice porridge and said: "Are you dreaming, and you need to add three large pots of water? Laifu used three bowls of rice. I help cook in the brigade kitchen. I know that, and a large pot of water will only suffice." Add two bowls of stick noodles and then add wild vegetables vigorously. If you replace it with three bowls of rice, you don’t have to put in ten or eight pots of water.”
"Brother, the porridge you made is so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious porridge. Next time you hit my brother, I will watch over you and make sure he doesn't move." Li Xiaohu patted the horse. fart.
Li Laifu lamented that a brother was deeply affectionate, and a bowl of rice was sold for his brother. This is also a normal phenomenon of children in the family. How can there be a brother who does not beat his brother, and how can a younger brother not sue? Then the elder brother won't be beaten. This is a cycle of loving each other.
Only Li Laifu was eating the rice from a big bowl, while the others were chewing it carefully, eager to taste every grain of rice.
Even Bruce Lee and Bruce Lee chewed the second bowl carefully after eating one bowl.
As long as there was chicken in Li Chongwu's bowl, he would give it to the two children. The bones that the two children had gnawed back into his bowl...
This would have been impossible in later generations, but it was perfectly normal in this era. As long as it was something harder, the adults would chew it up and stuff it directly into the children's mouths. (Does anyone still remember when your parents helped you peel the apples with your mouth... those grooves, haha)
Li Laifu ate two big bowls. As for his grandparents, second uncle and second aunt, he forcefully filled the bowls for them. After these people had eaten one bowl of porridge, they filled the bottom of the second bowl and were reluctant to eat again. , the second bowl is mainly to taste the taste.
As for Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee didn't know how to write the word "pleasant" and how to pronounce the word "reluctant". Although he ate slowly, he ate more and more until his belly was so round that he couldn't eat any more.
Seeing the family eating well, Li Laifu felt very satisfied. An orphan's desire for family and affection was beyond what others could imagine.
The old lady pulled Li Laifu to sit on the recliner and told her eldest grandson to rest. She just wanted to be closer to him.
