Time has flown forward for more than a month, and it is not long before the Chinese New Year. The faces of the neighbors in the yard have become more joyful recently. At least this New Year's Eve is definitely a holiday, and everyone can It’s not a good idea to celebrate New Year’s Eve on New Year’s Eve.
"Mingzi, come and help me lift the tank."
Father Li's voice came from the courtyard, and Li Ming walked towards the courtyard after hearing it.
"Hey, where did you get a big vat from?"
Father Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "There was a family moving in the yard next door, and I bought a big vat left."
Li Ming walked closer and circled the tank twice. It had no flaws, was solid, and had a large capacity.
"You finally had a day off, and it's not bad that you can go out to the Shunkou Tank and come back!"
"Don't be poor, come with me and bring this vat into our house." Father Li slowed down and planned to follow Li Ming to move this big vat into the house.
"Just rest and open the door. I can handle this vat by myself!"
"Don't bother me by stretching your waist when the time comes." Li Ming smiled and grabbed the edge of the cylinder, intending to lift the cylinder directly.
Father Li's eyes widened, "You kid, don't be so forceful!"
Li Ming looked around at the many neighbors who were watching the fun, and pouted at Comrade Li Weiguo, "Why don't you open the door? Besides, I don't want to be treated like a monkey."
Seeing that Li's father was not planning to move, Li Ming simply lifted the tank up with a simple move.
The neighbors who were watching the excitement all around were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. This tank weighed a hundred pounds at first glance. The most important thing is that it is difficult to grasp and there is no good point for exerting force. It is really difficult for ordinary people to handle. stand up.
Although everyone knew that Li Ming was very strong and could tear down a door, it was still quite an impact to see him lift a large tank weighing 100 kilograms.
Seeing this, Comrade Li Weiguo hurriedly walked a few steps to open the door, and then pulled the door curtain aside to facilitate Li Ming's entry.
It wasn't until a muffled "bang" came from the Li family house that the jar was finally placed.
"Are you okay?" Lao Li came over and looked at his son with a worried look on his face and asked.
"It's okay. It's really okay at this point. Don't worry."
Li Ming shook his head. Now that his physical fitness has been developed to 42%, he can be called a small Li Yuanba. This little weight is really not a problem.
"By the way, didn't the three of you go out together?"
Li Ming found out that his father was back, but his mother and sister hadn't come back with him, so he couldn't help but ask.
When Father Li saw that his son was fine, he waved his hands calmly and lit a cigarette for himself, "Hey, they two went to the department store."
"Nowadays, you can't buy many things with money or tickets, so why not go shopping in a department store to see what else you can buy that can be used at home."
In the 1950s, the Sijiucheng Department Store underwent a large-scale renovation, turning the building into a modern shopping mall. During that period, Sijiucheng Department Store became one of the leading department stores in China and has maintained this status ever since.
Li Ming understood and nodded without paying much attention. The family was not short of money or tickets, but the current situation was indeed no different from what his father said.
"What's for lunch?"
"Wait until your mother comes back."
"Okay, then I'm going to get some sunshine."
"go Go."
Li Ming picked up a horse and found a suitable place in the front yard. The weather was good today and it wasn't too cold. It was quite comfortable to bask in the sun.
In the middle courtyard, the Yi family.
It has been more than a month since the last time Jia Zhang made a request to ask Jia Dongxu to come to Yi Zhonghai. Jia Zhang has not seen Jia Dongxu's actions, and there is indeed not much food at home. If it is food, it can last for a while. , but the big family can't just eat rice and noodles.
Today Jia Zhang brought Jia Dongxu to Yi Zhonghai.
"Sister-in-law Jia is here! Go and give Sister-in-law Jia a glass of water!"
When Yi Zhonghai saw Mrs. Jia Zhang, he cursed in his heart that it was bad luck. It would be no good for an old fat woman like Mrs. Jia Zhang to visit her, but for the sake of Jia Dongxu, the number one pensioner, he could only be a little hospitable.
Not long after, the aunt poured two cups of hot water and handed them to the two uninvited guests of the Jia family.
"What's wrong with Sister-in-law Jia?"
Jia Zhang punched Jia Dongxu, and Jia Dongxu finally came to his senses. Jia Dongxu was not happy to come, but their family did not have much food to eat. Although Yi Zhonghai was Jia Dongxu’s master, for some reason, Jia Dongxu was here. I can't always save face.
"Here, master, we don't have much food at home, and I wanted to see if you can think of something to do."
That is to say, I feel a little embarrassed to speak at first, but once I speak, the rest becomes less embarrassing. After all, as a man who is used to his nicknames of "Mama's Boy" and "Cuckold Brother", he doesn't really care about shame.
Yi Zhonghai was relieved when he heard this. He could ask for food or anything, just forget about borrowing money.
"I did stock up on some winter vegetables here last time, but I didn't buy a lot. It was just enough for me and your aunt." Act like you're embarrassed first to show your situation. Don't care if it's really difficult, just do it. That's right.
"But it's enough for the time being. In this case, I'll ask your aunt to go to the cellar to get some for you, and you can deal with it first."
Jia Dongxu couldn't help but blush when he saw Yi Zhonghai's embarrassed look, but there was nothing he could do. In comparison, Jia Zhang was expressionless and seemed to be familiar with Yi Zhonghai's operations.
"Thank you, master. Don't worry, I will return it to you as soon as possible."
Yi Zhonghai laughed when he saw that his performance was reflected on Jia Dongxu, "I am your master, and you have come to ask for me. As a master, can I not care about you?"
"Wait a moment. Your eldest mother will be here soon. Let's take the food and eat it today."
"I'll help you ask during this period to find out when the second batch of winter vegetables will be available."
"Okay, our family will definitely buy more this time." Jia Dongxu responded with an emotional nod, handed Yi Zhonghai a cigarette, and lit it for Yi Zhonghai diligently.
"Yeah, you have to be careful next time, otherwise the impact will be too great." Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement, "Your aunt is here, hurry up and get the food."
Yi Zhonghai pointed to the aunt carrying two bags and said to Jia Dongxu.
"Auntie, let me do it." Upon seeing this, Jia Dongxu hurriedly walked over and took the two bags of vegetables. "Then I'll go back first, master, we are still waiting for the food at home."
Yi Zhonghai nodded with a smile, looking extremely kind, "Go ahead."
