"Ouch!"
"Why did you two buy so many things?"
Although they took an ox cart from the county seat back to the commune, carrying more than 200 kilograms of things from the commune back to Qingxia Mountain still made the father and son so tired that they collapsed on the ground without saying a word.
"Come on, come on, drink some water!"
Mother Chen Xianglan quickly poured two bowls of cold water from the house and brought them out.
"Goooooo...ha!"
After Li Shiqiang drank all the water, he stood up with his hands: "Mom, I'm going to bed first."
It was almost midnight by this time, and most of the family members were asleep.
But the reason why Li Shiqiang said this was because he was afraid that his mother would feel sorry for the money when he saw the things he bought later, and then teach him a lesson.
Sure enough, when he just got back into the house, he heard Chen Xianglan's cursing voice: "This kid really doesn't care about money. He only knows how to buy these things. You go with him, why don't you stop him!"
Li Nongchang said aggrievedly: "Why didn't I stop him! One of them said he bought it for the third and fourth children, and the other said he bought it for you. How could I stop him!?"
Chen Xianglan shook her head repeatedly: "No, no! He is not allowed to go shopping in the future!"
Li Nongchang glanced at her and said angrily: "You might as well go with him next time. Keep an eye on Erba and don't let him spend money randomly!"
"I?"
Chen Xianglan was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little moved, but finally sighed and said: "Forget it, you should go next time."
After saying this, she came to the door of Li Shiqiang's house again. Just as she was about to go in, she found that the door was stuck with wooden strips.
"What's wrong, Mom, I'm going to sleep."
Li Shiqiang hid in the room, a little afraid that Chen Xianglan would rush in and grab his ears and scold him.
"You little bastard, you can't be so lavish in the future. Otherwise, when you and Yun Wazi get married, the family won't be able to keep any money."
Unexpectedly, Chen Xianglan's voice didn't sound angry, but she was somewhat serious.
"Hey, I know, Mom."
Li Shiqiang smiled and simply opened the door.
Seeing his playful smile, Chen Xianglan couldn't help but hit him on the shoulder and said, "You said you wanted to go to bed, but you didn't take a shower first. Look at how sweaty you are!"
"Go quickly, I'll get you two a bowl of noodles and wait until you have something to eat before you go to bed."
"Yes, Mom!"
After Chen Xianglan left, Li Shiqiang took off his clothes and pants, went to the kitchen to get a bucket of water, stood under the osmanthus tree in the yard, and took a slow shower.
As he rushed, he suddenly noticed the sweet-scented osmanthus tree next to him, and his mind suddenly dispersed.
I remember that his grandfather planted this sweet-scented osmanthus tree himself. It gradually grew from a seedling to a tree more than ten meters high. Every autumn, I could enjoy the golden and fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus trees in my yard.
As a gust of wind blows by, the fragrance of osmanthus can really spread throughout the mountain village.
But one day in later generations, when he came back from an outing, he found that someone had cut down his sweet-scented osmanthus tree by the roots.
He almost got into a fight over this matter, but the matter ended in nothing.
What can be done? According to other people's words, they all belong to the villagers, and a tree is nothing.
The abolition of the planned economy and reform and opening up have indeed made rural people's lives better and better.
But neighbors often quarrel over one-third of an acre of land, or steal and steal things that others have but they don't have.
Fortunately, he returned to this innocent age.
After sighing his thoughts, Li Shiqiang took a shower, and after eating a bowl of noodles cooked by his mother, he returned to the house and fell asleep.
...
The next morning, it was just dawn.
Li Shiqiang opened his eyes as usual.
However, because he slept too late last night, he continued to lie in bed and sleep for a while.
It wasn't until the chirping sounds coming from outside the house kept him awake that he finally got dressed and walked out of the house.
"Er Guo, Er Guo, mom is going to beat me!"
He had just left the house when he saw Xiao Xuemei running towards him. Behind her, Chen Xianglan was chasing after her with a wooden stick.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, Mom!"
Li Shiqiang quickly reached out to stop his mother and said, "What are you doing so early in the morning!?"
"It's not all you!"
Chen Xianglan pushed him angrily, looked at Xiao Xuemei who was hiding behind him and said, "When I got up in the morning, I saw the food you bought yesterday. I stopped eating after two bites of breakfast and just waited to eat. Eat the candy and twist it.”
"Oh, when you buy something, you just use it to eat!"
Li Shiqiang smiled, quickly put his arm around Chen Xianglan's shoulders and said, "They are still young, so let them eat."
"You have to eat the food no matter what! In the past, when the family didn't have enough to eat, I wanted to lick the bowl clean every day. Now I don't want to eat the food every day. It's all because of you!"
Speaking of this, Chen Xianglan became so angry that she reached out and pinched Li Shiqiang's ears and said: "Next time you buy those things for them, I will buy them myself!"
"Okay! Okay! Got it, Mom! How old am I and you still pull my ears!"
Li Shiqiang quickly lowered his head and covered his ears with his hands.
"No matter how old you are, I can grab you if I want!"
Chen Xianglan smiled, and just as she was about to continue tugging, she suddenly looked at a figure at the door of the courtyard, and then let go.
"Oh, Yun Wazi, why are you here?"
Li Shiqiang turned around and was surprised to find Huang Yun appearing at the door of their courtyard.
After Chen Xianglan pulled Huang Yun into the yard, Huang Yun chuckled and took out the mended clothes and said, "I'm here to give clothes to Brother Qiang."
Chen Xianglan took the clothes, looked at them, and immediately said with a smile: "Yun Wazi is so ingenious. She makes up the clothes so well that there is no trace at all. With such good craftsmanship, whoever marries you in the future will be destined to enjoy great blessings!" "
"It's not as good as Mrs. Chen said!"
Huang Yun glanced at Li Shiqiang shyly and quickly lowered her head.
"Let's go, ignore him, and come into the house with me to eat."
After Chen Xianglan threw the clothes to Li Shiqiang, she directly pulled Huang Yun into the house.
Li Shiqiang looked at Xiao Xuemei and said, "Follow me if you don't want to. Sister Yun is here. Mom will be embarrassed to hit you again. Just take the food and sit next to Sister Yun to eat."
"Got it!"
After waiting for Xiao Xuemei to run into the house quickly, Li Shiqiang also went back to the house and changed his clothes, preparing for Huang Yun to take her brother's clothes back.
"Er baby! What are you doing? If you don't do it yet, make a bowl of the sugar water you bought for Sister Yun!"
"coming!"
When Li Shiqiang walked into the main room, he saw that his mother Chen Xianglan had placed all the food she bought yesterday in front of Huang Yun.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly, Erwa bought these in the city yesterday."
"No, Mrs. Chen, I just brought the food here."
"It's okay, you can still eat after you eat."
As soon as Chen Xianglan finished speaking, Xiao Xuemei on the side blinked and took the opportunity to say, "Mom, that's not what you just told me."
