"Okay, Sister Fang, please go slower on the road."

"The job of a buyer is a bit rough, but it's really comfortable!"

"I used to watch TV about steel. In a big factory, hundreds or thousands of people were making a fuss over a pig. Today, I experienced this good guy in person and it is really true!"

"Pork is hard currency in every unit. It's so fragrant. I have some supplies in my hands. I can make good use of them after I become a full-time employee." Li Wen thought as he drove towards the rental house while humming a tune.

go.

Riding to a small alley, Li Wen took out a sack from the space, which contained his bedding.

Then I put some daily necessities such as tableware, some food, and a hot water bottle in a backpack. These are my daily belongings. Moving in these days is so simple, and there are not many things.

When I returned to the rental house, the door was locked, and only Niuniu and a little boy were playing at the door.

Li Wen stopped the car, and the two children immediately ran home, leaving Li Wen stunned for a while.

"Am I more scary?" Li Wen said to himself.

He took out the key and opened the door, and a clean small yard came into view. Li Wen took a look and saw that even the leaves and dead branches on the roof had been swept away.

"It's good that these two can get along!" Li Wen smiled and nodded.

In these days, a good neighbor is worse than anything else. It is not for nothing that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

"Brother, you are back!"

As soon as Li Wen raised the threshold, Li Hongbin and his wife Rape rushed over.

"Brother Li, you and your sister-in-law are so clean! This courtyard paved with blue bricks is enough for people to sleep in." Li Wen leaned against the threshold and handed over a cigarette with a smile.

"Haha! Not really, not really."

"Since I have accepted your money, brother, you are the boss and you must do a good job, not to mention we are still neighbors." Li Hongbin said with a smile.

"Come on, brother, let me push the bike in for you. This big bag of luggage is definitely not light."

As he said this, Li Hongbin pushed his bicycle and walked into the yard with the backpack placed at the door.

"Brother, your sister-in-law and I have cleaned the yard and the house. However, the house has been a bit damp since it has been unoccupied for a long time. Yesterday I asked your sister-in-law to use leaves from the yard to heat the kang."

"The windows are also being ventilated. Your sister-in-law lit the kang again at noon today. It will still be hot. If you put down the bedding, you can live in it today."

"I also cleaned the cabinets and chopping boards in the kitchen, brushed the iron pots, and filled the water tank with water." Li Hongbin, who had dark skin, reported their work to Li Wen with a smile.

Li Wen also followed the couple around. Although Li Hongbin and his wife were wearing shabby clothes, they kept the yard clean and worked very carefully. They even filled the water tank. For this dollar, Li Wen

I feel like it's well worth the money spent.

"Brother Li, sister-in-law, you are so honest, thank you so much." Li Wen thanked him again.

"Ouch!"

"It's not easy for you to go out alone at such a young age. We are all neighbors and this is a trivial matter. Let's sit here for a while and let your sister-in-law make a kang for you." Li Hongbin said with a smile.

"Ah! Isn't this bad?"

These two are so passionate.

"Brother, this is your bedding, right? My sister-in-law will lay it for you, so you don't have to do it. Young people can't do it well." Rape walked into the room with a smile while carrying the sack.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Li Wen smiled politely.

Li Wen took a stool and chatted with Li Hongbin in the yard.

"Brother, you are only 28 years old?"

After chatting for a while, Li Wen realized that Li Hongbin was actually only 28 years old. Looking at the dark-skinned Li Hongbin, Li Wen thought he was 38 years old.

"There are a total of 10 people in my family. My parents are still alive but not in good health. I also have a 20-year-old brother and an 18-year-old sister. The remaining four children are.

"Both my younger brother and younger sister have no jobs. The family usually relies on picking up scraps and doing odd jobs. It's too stressful." Li Hongbin said with a wry smile.

Li Wen clicked his tongue, this is even more difficult than the people in the countryside!

After all, rural people have collectives and fields. As long as the years are good, at least their lives are guaranteed.

In an instant, Li Wen figured it out. No wonder a large number of young people will go to the countryside in a few years. It turns out that it is for this reason that they cannot afford to support themselves in the city.

"Niuniu, come in, brother will give you some candy!"

Li Wen watched Niuniu and the little boy peeking in secretly at the door, smiled and waved.

The little guy was still very naive, maybe because her brother fell and was frightened yesterday. It wasn't until Li Wen took out a few candies from his pocket that he trotted in with the little boy.

"Brother Li, whose child is this little boy?" Li Wen asked with a smile, looking at the boy standing in front of him with runny nose and drooling saliva.

"This is my fourth child, his name is Sanmao. He is three years old this year."

"San Mao calls you uncle." Li Hongbin touched the little guy's head and said with a smile.

"Forehead!"

"Good guy, he's only 15 years old!" Li Wen didn't change for a while.

"Uncle, eat some sweets." The little guy said in a milky voice.

"Haha! Okay, give Sanmao some candy."

Li Wen took out toilet paper from his pocket, wiped the little guy, then peeled off a toffee and stuffed it into the little guy's mouth.

“Good times!

"Thank you, uncle." The little guy had a satisfied smile on his face.

"Niuniu, do you want to eat?" Li Wen looked at Niuniu hiding behind his old father and asked with a smile.

The little girl looked at the candy in Li Wen's hand eagerly but did not dare to come over.

"Gulu!"

Li Wen heard the little guy swallowing.

"Haha! Here you go."

Li Wen smiled and handed the candy to the little girl.

"Thank you uncle." Li Hongbin said with a smile and pinched his daughter's little face.

"Thank you, uncle."

"Well! You and your brother can go play in the yard. Take these candies." Li Wen handed the remaining two candies to the little girl.

"I like children very much! I want to get married as soon as possible." Li Hongbin joked on the side.

"Brother Li, I'm not yet 16 years old! It's better to reach the legal age for marriage." Li Wen said with a smile.

Li Hongbin smiled and said nothing more.

"Sister-in-law, please come and have dinner with me today! Help me open a meal by the way." Li Wen looked at the rapeseed that came out after cleaning up the room and said with a smile.

"How can this be done? I still have to go home and cook!" Rapeseed quickly waved her hand.

"Brother Li, please try to persuade your sister-in-law. I just moved in here today, and you and your sister-in-law helped me a lot. It's just a meal, and I can gain some popularity by the way." Li Wen smiled and said to Li Hongbin who was standing aside.

"Since I told you to rape rape, I will let you trample the yard tonight. I will go back and talk to Lanhua and ask her to cook for the family tonight." Li Hongbin stood up and said.

"Sister-in-law, there is meat, noodles, and some vegetables in the basket on your back. Let's make braised noodles with meat tonight. It will be warm after eating." Li Wen pointed to the basket at the door and said with a smile.

"Okay, let's try my sister-in-law's cooking tonight." Rapeseed smiled and walked into the kitchen.

"Brother, I brought some firewood over here. You just moved in and haven't bought any firewood yet." After a while, Li Hongbin walked in with a large bundle of firewood.

"Brother Li, you are so thoughtful!"

"By the way, Brother Li. I don't have time to buy anything at work today. Here is 5 yuan. You can help me buy some firewood tomorrow, and the rest is labor fee." Li Wen handed over the five yuan.

Li Hongbin.

"Okay, tomorrow I'll go to the timber market to buy some sawdust and firewood for you. It's getting cold soon, and this sawdust kang will be very warm." Li Hongbin didn't hesitate and accepted the money directly.

"Is this enough money?"

"That's enough. Folks from the mountains only pay two to three yuan for a load of good wood. It's no problem to buy another hundred or ten kilograms of sawdust for the rest." Li Hongbin explained with a smile.

"That's good. If it's not enough, Brother Li, you can put it on first and I'll give it to you when you get back." Li Wen smiled and nodded.

Li Wen also often bought firewood in Weihe County last year and knew the price. He had never bought sawdust. He knew that it was a good thing for heating the Kang, and it was also resistant to burning.

In this era, it is not easy for people living in the city without a formal job. Many people are reluctant to buy firewood for two or three yuan a load.

But firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, firewood comes first, and firewood has to be used. There is no way, after school, children in the city go to the wasteland ditches in groups with cages and baskets to cut dead grass and peel leaves.

So life in the city was really hard these days! It’s not that having an urban household registration means you can enjoy a good life. It’s because the economy has improved since the 1970s, and the gap between urban and rural areas has widened.

"It's time to eat!" Rape's voice came from the kitchen.
