After a few minutes, Xu Li took back her needle and thread and bit off the connecting threads with her teeth.
Immediately afterwards, he stood up and went to the cabinet to hide the needle and thread so that Yuanyuan would not turn it over when he was playing.
When he looked back again, Wu Huiliang had already put on his shoes.
After all, she is my daughter-in-law, and her handwork is good.
In the past, he didn't pay much attention to wearing shoes.
But this time, I felt extremely solid and walked very vigorously.
After walking around in front of Xu Li, he said: "It's suitable. It's better than those shoe repairmen at the party who sewed it together. It looks like a perfect fit."
In her heart, Xu Li regarded this as a compliment from him on her words. There was nothing unusual about her appearance, but she was secretly happy in her heart: "I hope what you said is true."
"What I said is all true, really..." Wu Huiliang said seriously.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to deepen his impression in her mind.
But before she could speak, she was interrupted by Xu Li. She was still resistant to him, so she took a step back and said, "Why don't you go out to the mountains? It's hot now, so you have to go early..."
Wu Huiliang hesitated for a while, then responded, "Remember to take the little girl to have breakfast." After that, he walked out.
"Papa..." The little girl ran over from the faucet jumping up and down, "Where are you going today? Can you take Yuanyuan with you?"
As Wu Huiliang changed day by day, the impression he gave his daughter gradually became less scary, and even more affectionate than when he was with Xu Li.
Wu Huiliang felt quite comforted by this. He held his face as white as a goose egg, smiled and said: "Yuanyuan is good, daddy is going out to make money, you have to go to school hard and listen to mommy, you know? Wait until daddy comes back.
, bring you something delicious."
"Daddy..." Upon hearing that Daddy couldn't accompany her, Yuanyuan suddenly seemed a little disappointed and lowered her head. However, a child's world is inseparable from delicious food. After thinking about it again and again, she was still so optimistic.
, raised his head and looked at Dad with a smile, "Then you must do what you say, and remember to bring me delicious food."
"Okay, Dad, I promise you." Wu Huiliang looked at the little girl with love on his face.
Out of the love between father and daughter, after being tender with her for a while, he left home again, feeling reluctant to leave her.
I originally thought that Xu Li would come out to see her off, but after walking far away, I realized that there didn't seem to be any traces of her behind her.
But is Xu Li really that hard-hearted?
no.
After Wu Huiliang completely left.
She felt like something was missing around her, she was full of loss, but she also lacked some sense of security.
He couldn't help but held the little girl's hand and ran out the door.
Looking at every step left by Wu Huiliang, I still had no time to blurt out one sentence:
"Noon...remember to come back..."
…
Wu Huiliang did not go far.
Likewise, he had planned this trip in advance.
Although picking vegetation and reselling it back and forth does bring some benefits.
However, a lot of foot traffic is wasted in the middle.
He has also come from this era, and doing business is a real thing. To be honest, he can only provide food and clothing, and he still has to use his brain to some extent.
For example, if you go up the mountain to collect vegetation, you can only collect up to thirty plants at a time by walking alone. Even with bamboo baskets, the number is not much different.
Going back and forth up and down the mountain, and then back to the city, it takes at least a day at a time, and you can earn hundreds of dollars.
However, it is different if you have a decent transportation vehicle. If it sells quickly, you can make two trips back and forth in one day, which is a double income.
Therefore, Wu Huiliang thought about it all night yesterday and felt that if he wanted to earn more, he must have a transportation vehicle of his own.
In this era, horse-drawn carriages are not a rare thing and can be found everywhere. What is more rare is a tractor.
Looking at the entire Xieying Village, only Zhao Yang, a Nanjie driver from a household worth ten thousand yuan in the village, owns one.
Therefore, when he left home this time, the first place he went to was Zhao Yang's house.
Xieying Village is not only the name of a village, but also the name of a town. According to the division before liberation, the village has three large families with the surnames Zhao, Zhang, and Li. Among them, the Zhao family has the most descendants. Several generations of them have been poor and lower-middle peasants.
Before 1982, Zhao Yang was still an accountant in the village, driving his team's tractor to pull goods to the village in his spare time. Although he did several major things with the village leaders, he was still too young and had a relatively low sense of presence.
Silent and nameless.
But after 1982, when the policy came down, this guy gradually became bolder. He sold the food at home and bought the tractor in the team. Then he traveled all over the country to contact customers, specially delivering goods to some private households in the city.
The goods range from cement and farm quails to household appliances such as refrigerators and color TVs. In recent years, I have made so much money that I no longer drive tractors and just buy four-wheel cars.
And in recent days, this guy has not been idle. His mother-in-law will give birth at any time, and there are always endless chores to deal with. Therefore, he simply does not buy goods. In recent days, he has been staying with his mother-in-law, as long as she is there.
Whatever you need, he will provide it without any hesitation.
Wu Huiliang was not well received by the villagers, not only because he was a second-rate man, but also because his ancestors had taken refuge and moved here. Especially in the eyes of people with upright roots like Zhao Yang, he was more like an outsider.
Therefore, it is very likely that you will encounter difficulties when renting a car.
However, Wu Huiliang was not discouraged because he already had countermeasures.
Exiting the intersection of North Street, there is a winding path. Keep walking along this path and turn a few turns to reach South Street. Because it is adjacent to the village's private land, Wu Huiliang is no stranger to it.
So, within ten minutes, he reached Zhao Yang's house.
In this era, every household still had that kind of low-rise house.
But Zhao Yang's family has built a bungalow. Not only that, even the decoration of the house is the same as many storefronts in the city.
Wu Huiliang didn't say it was a gimmick, but he also felt it was a bit strange.
At this moment, he stood at the door of his house and shouted: "Oh~"
"Is it Accountant Zhao Yang Zhao?"
"Who is it?" A man came out.
"Accountant Zhao, it's me." Wu Huiliang waved at the door.
Zhao Yang had a beer belly, a Daqianmen cigarette in his mouth, and glanced at it.
After seeing that the person who came was Wu Huiliang, he turned around and walked back into the house as if he were seeing nothing.
Humph, what good things can come out of you, an outsider, coming to me!
"It's hot outside, come home and talk."
Wu Huihao seemed to have expected such a reaction from him.
Instead of being angry because of this humiliation, he subconsciously raised the corner of his mouth and followed him in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
