Li Laifu explained: "Didn't I ask my friend to bring back some fabric last time? Who knew he still had so much cotton, so I exchanged it with him."
"Then this is too much, it will scare people to death," Zhao Fang looked at Li Laifu worriedly.
"Auntie, don't worry. These are all obtained from Peking University. They have normal procedures. We just don't tell outsiders."
After hearing that he had been exchanged from a serious unit, Zhao Fang felt relieved, nodded and said, "How can we tell outsiders about this? Not even Xiaotao Xiaoyuan can let them know."
Li Laifu changed the subject and said, "Auntie, make all the quilts at home thicker, and also make all the family's cotton-padded jackets."
"Hey, hey!"
After Zhao Fang agreed, she started to get busy. A big box and a kang cabinet were all emptied, and the clothes were put in sacks and the cotton was locked.
After Zhao Fang finished her work, she wiped the sweat from her head and took the scissors to grind the fabric there.
Probably forgetting his two sons again, Li Laifu left the room and walked to the door. Li Chongwen and Old Man Zhang were squatting there smoking, while Old Mrs. Liu was sitting on the stone at the door. "Laifu, come and sit down with Grandma Liu." ," the old lady pulled Li Laifu to sit next to her.
Mrs. Liu grabbed Li Laifu's hand and said, "What a good boy."
"This boy's tail is raised to the sky again when you praise him like this," Old Man Zhang was chatting again.
Mrs. Liu said with a smile on her face: "We at Laifu are not that kind of children!"
"Zhang..., Grandpa Zhang," seeing the half-smiling face of old man Zhang, this old man was so bad that he almost forgot that Li Chongwen was here. Fortunately, he reacted quickly.
Next time I make him mountain black tea, add half a pound of sugar high and low so that he can drink it even if he doesn't want to drink it.
Li Chongwen and Old Man Zhang were smoking cigarettes and chatting about interesting things at work. What Li Laifu admired most about Li Chongwen was that he smoked eight-cent cigarettes at work and cigarettes after get off work. He usually didn't take the good cigarettes Li Laifu gave him. Come out and settle the account for you clearly!
In October, when the breeze blew, it was already very cold at night. Jiang Yuan and Jiang Tao also came back from the direction of the toilet and asked: "Brother, can we go home now?"
The two boys were still wearing single clothes and it was always chilly. Li Chongwen stood up and said, "Let's go, dad will take you home. Uncle Zhang, Aunt Liu, let's go home and sleep."
"Go, go, now it's getting colder at night, so I'm going back," Mrs. Liu also stood up and said.
It happened that Li Laifu didn't want to sit down anymore. Li Chongwen looked at Li Laifu in confusion and asked, "Why did these two boys offend your aunt again?" He had to know the reason before he was going to plead for them.
"Dad, you'll know when you get home."
When Li Congwen returned home with the three boys, Zhao Fang happily shouted: "Master, come quickly!"
The three brothers returned to the small room. Jiang Yuan quickly helped Li Laifu fetch water for washing his feet, while Jiang Tao also went to get a thermos bottle.
"Laifu, please come out and wash your feet later," Li Chongwen stood at the door and called to him.
Li Laifu smiled. He could guess what was going on. The two walked into the courtyard. Li Chongwen pulled him to a corner and asked, "Son, that's too much cotton."
Seeing Li Chongwen so nervous, Li Laifu knew he had to find a good reason. Li Chongwen was not as easy to fool as Zhao Fang. He took him a cigarette and said, "Dad, I caught another wild boar last time. You also know that now the meat The price has gone up a lot, so they gave me a little more. Don’t worry, your son is not stupid and won’t do anything outrageous.”
Li Chongwen took the cigarette, looked at him and whispered: "Now that our family is doing very well, please stop doing such risky things, son. You don't want your father to be scared to death by you at a young age."
Li Laifu said helplessly: "I know, I know." These days, if you make a cotton coat, you don't need to replace it for several years. He won't have to buy cotton anymore in a few years, or his family's financial background is too weak, so he has to take out these. Think about it. His quilt was two layers of cloth plus one layer of cotton, which together weighed less than a kilogram. Lying on the kang in winter, it was like a world of ice and fire. He was hot under his body and cold on his body. Nothing like that these days. Those who relied on the quilt, the kang was cold in the morning, and everyone got up early in the morning.
In this family, Li Chongwen's cotton-padded jacket is thicker. Although he has a cotton-padded jacket, it is almost as thin as a quilt. Zhao Fang's is even thinner. Jiang Tao and Jiangyuan don't have a cotton-padded jacket at all. They just have two layers of clothes. Going to the toilet in winter is like running a race. .
Seeing Li Laifu thinking deeply, Li Chongwen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Son, you are the only one in our family. Don't take any more risks in the future."
After the two men finished talking, they went back to the house to sleep.
A night of silence and the next day,
When they got up in the morning, the whole family had already gone to work and school. Li Laifu walked to the Drum Tower with his schoolbag, took the bus to Dashilar, and looked at the facade of Neiliansheng. This was the earliest specialty store, right?
Do you want me to look at the shoes first? If you don't have shoes on your feet, you will be half poor, but the people in the capital will have a good face.
Li Laifu went in and took a look around. Regardless of the era, reputation must be supported by money. In this era, shoes here are very expensive. Ordinary cloth shoes cost two yuan, and cotton shoes cost three yuan plus rabbit fur for three and a half yuan.
I bought two pairs of shoes for the old man and old lady with seven yuan. Just like the Quanjude barbecue season in this era, absolutely no ordinary people can enter this place.
After buying shoes, I ate and rolled around, and wandered around. This place is indeed the front door, and there were still a lot of people. Suddenly, someone from behind shouted, "Catch the thief."
Li Laifu turned around and saw a young man running towards him, followed by three or four people. This kid was really fast. He had obviously practiced. The thieves of later generations were all self-taught. There is still a legacy of thieves in this era.
"Get out of my way, little fucking brat,"
Damn it, who are you with? Li Laifu's temper got worse. As he spoke, the man was already passing by him. He raised his foot and kicked him directly on the crotch axis, sending the man flying straight away.
Fuck...,
Before the man could curse, Li Laifu stepped up and kicked him in the crotch.
Ah...ah!
The man was rolling on the ground, and Li Laifu knelt down and asked, "Stop scolding, stop being mean." These days, it's not like in later generations, if you beat a thief, you could get sued and have to pay compensation. In this day and age, you deserve to be beaten to death.
Nowadays, if you just call a thief, a bunch of people will gather around to help you catch you. Now that the law has been improved, if you call a thief, everyone will disperse. They don’t dare to help you, but they don’t dare to arrest you. How sad!
The thief had no time to answer Li Laifu's words. He was still rolling on the ground with his hands covering his crotch.
Several people from behind also came over and pushed the man to the ground with all their hands. An old man ran out of breath. He held on to the big tree and said, "Young man, thank you."
Li Laifu glanced behind the old man. He didn't bring a granddaughter with him. Based on his experience of reading novels in his previous life, when the old man brought his granddaughter by the lake, he usually gave him a villa. When he rescued the old man on the road, it was usually his granddaughter. He showed up in a luxury car, and in the end his granddaughter coldly handed him a bank card or something?
