"Er baby, it's a good thing you brought a gun." After passing Muzha, Chen Xianglan, who was sitting on the car, patted Li Shiqiang's shoulder happily and said.
"Mom, it's okay, don't worry."
Li Shiqiang turned around and said a few words of relief, then said to Li Nongchang who was driving: "Old man, let me do it instead."
"No, just hold the gun and look around."
Li Nongchang waved his hand and asked casually: "Why did you happen to be blocked by Bang Lao Er? Were you seen by others when you were selling goods?"
Chen Xianglan immediately answered: "There are so many people at the buying station, so they must be seen."
"Um."
Li Shiqiang nodded and responded: "It should be that we have been targeted since we left the acquisition station."
"Then go back quickly. When we get to the commune, I don't believe anyone dares to block the way."
Li Nongchang's face tightened and he quickly waved the cow rope.
After all, the county is a little unfamiliar, so if something happens, you can only handle it yourself.
But once you get to the commune, it can be considered your own territory, and you might know everyone you meet on the street.
Fortunately, there were no sticklers blocking the way on the rest of the way.
The three members of the Li family also arrived at the commune smoothly.
But seeing that she was getting closer to her village, Chen Xianglan suddenly sighed and said, "It's not the right time to come back."
"Huh? Why isn't it the right time?"
Li Shiqiang was stunned for a moment, not understanding what his mother meant.
But Li Nongchang in front of him turned around with a smile on his face and explained to him: "Your mother wanted to go back in such a dark way. Who could see that our family bought three big items on the way?"
Chen Xianglan was not upset when her thoughts were revealed. She snorted with a slight smile and said: "It's rare for my family to get better and I bought three big items. How can I not show it to the villagers?"
"hehe."
Li Shiqiang smiled and said, "The work in the fields will be finished in two days, and we will be able to see everything when they come to build a house at our house."
"That won't work."
Chen Xianglan shook her body proudly and said: "I can't bear it for one day, how can I bear it for two days? Tomorrow you ride your bicycle to go around the mountains, and when you meet people, tell them, our family buys Got three big items.”
"No, no."
Li Shiqiang couldn't do this alone. After shaking his head, he said: "Why don't I take you around the mountains on a bicycle tomorrow and teach you how to ride a bicycle. If you meet someone on the road, it's you. Talk to others.”
"I want it! I want it!"
When Chen Xianglan heard that she could learn to drive while also satisfying her inner desire to show off, Chen Xianglan immediately clapped her hands and agreed.
...
By the time the three returned to the village, it was almost six o'clock.
After having a watch, it is indeed a lot more convenient.
When they returned home, several children in the family were the first to greet them.
"Wow, bike!"
Xiao Xuemei opened her eyes wide and looked at Chen Xianglan who had just jumped out of the car with excitement: "Mom, did you go borrow a bicycle and come back?"
Only the eldest sister Li Shiying in the family knew what they were going out for. None of the younger ones knew, so when they saw the bicycle on the cart, they thought they had borrowed it from someone else.
Chen Xianglan smiled and touched Xiao Xuemei's head, and said with a hint of pride: "You didn't borrow it, we bought it in the county."
"bought?"
The third child, Li Shiping, stared at the sewing machine on the car board and asked in a daze, "Mom, did we also buy this sewing machine?"
"Yes, they are all bought by our family."
After Chen Xianglan finished speaking boldly, she waved her hand grandly and said: "Quickly, move the things into the house."
"Gotta get it, gotta get it!"
When Lao San and Xiao Xuemei heard this, they hurriedly prepared to come over to help, but Li Nongchang on the side was not willing to let them move things. What if they accidentally broke something.
He waved his hand quickly and said: "Go, go, go, stand while you go."
After Li Shiqiang took the bicycle off the platform, Lao San and Xiao Xuemei immediately came over and stared at the bicycle very curiously.
Even the eldest sister Li Shiying came to the bicycle and walked around while wiping her hands with her apron. First she reached out and touched it, and then asked very excitedly: "Er baby, will this be our bicycle from now on?"
Li Shiqiang nodded and smiled with the eldest sister: "Well, if eldest sister wants to learn, I can teach you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao San and Xiao Xuemei next to him jumped up and down happily.
"Erguo, I want to learn too!" "I want to learn too!"
"You two? Let's wait until you grow taller."
Li Shiqiang smiled and pushed the bicycle into the yard.
At this time, Chen Xianglan also put on an apron and walked towards the kitchen. As she walked, she said, "Hurry and put everything away, we will have dinner later."
"I want it."
Li Shiqiang nodded and went to wash his face.
And just when he was wiping his face with the handkerchief, he found that Xiao Xuemei was still beside him.
"What's wrong? Your eldest and third sisters have already gone in to look at the sewing machine. Why are you still following me?"
Xiao Xuemei twisted her body, raised her head and said, "Erguo, don't you remember what you said to me before you left?"
"Words? What words?"
Li Shiqiang smiled in his heart and deliberately narrowed his eyes, pretending to be confused.
"Hmph, you said you would bring me a doll back!"
Xiao Xuemei stamped her feet angrily, and her little mouth immediately pursed.
At this time, Chen Xianglan, who was in the kitchen, suddenly appeared at the door with a handful of vegetable leaves in one hand, and lectured Xiao Xuemei: "You want a baby? Do you want a bamboo strip? Is that little kid in the village like you? Still? Want to spend money to buy you something?"
These days, children in rural areas basically don’t have any toys to buy. They all make toys by themselves, such as catching stones and rolling hoops.
Even if you don’t have toys, you can still spend a day playing in the mountains.
Xiao Xuemei, who was already so aggrieved that she could hang a bottle from her mouth, immediately had tears in her eyes after listening to her mother Chen Xianglan's scolding.
"Oh, my second brother lied to you. How could he have forgotten to buy you a doll?"
Li Shiqiang quickly squatted down, hugged Xiao Xuemei with a flattering smile, and then reached into his pocket and took out the roly-poly doll he bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Look, the doll that my second brother bought specially for you won't fall over at all when you put it in your hand."
Li Shiqiang picked up the doll and fiddled with it a few times. The tears that Xiao Xuemei was about to cry immediately stopped in her eyes, and her two little eyes stared at the doll.
"Look, this doll can't be knocked over no matter what?"
"Hmm~"
Xiao Xuemei nodded softly with a cry in her voice.
"Isn't it beautiful?"
"Hmm~"
"Do you want it?"
"I want~"
After Li Shiqiang handed the roly-poly doll to Xiao Xuemei, Xiao Xuemei suddenly showed a bright smile.
"Hehe, Erguo is so fun!"
