Li Ping and his wife carried a big wooden basin full of millet to build the road. The wife wiped away her tears, hoping that her little Qing baby would not be gone soon.
"Ladies, if you dropped any cat urine, go and bring it to the cicada monkey." Li Pinghe snorted, and his wife rolled her eyes at her old man angrily. "I'll go get the cicada monkey, add some rice, and eat more."
"You're welcome, don't stop using your chopsticks while eating."
Li Pinghe greeted the guests with a big pot of vegetables, a big bowl of meat, and a big bowl of wine. Several city dwellers drank with great enthusiasm. They all had good drinkers and drank from the big bowl. Li Han really worked hard to accompany the guests. This skill
, drank most of the bowl, a few weighed more than a pound. "Come on, do it." Li Han held up the big bowl, his face slightly red, drinking spring water today was boring.
"Xiao Li, this is your drinking capacity." The eldest brother in the city gestured with his thumb. "Here, I will go with you." "Let's go together."
Dad was drinking, and Dudu worked hard to eat, but he ate two bowls more than Tiedan. The little man's belly was bulging. "Dudu wants more rice." He said, holding the big bowl, and scooped out a large ball of rice with a big spoon to put in the bowl.
inside.
Tiedan's belly was bulging and he was full. Seeing Dudu, he loaded up his rice again. "I've finished eating, no more competition, no more competition." "Brother Tiedan lost." Dudu giggled, lying on the coffee table, holding a small wooden plate.
Pile the vegetables into a bowl.
The name of Dudu's Big Belly spread immediately. After eating three bowls, Li Han was startled. The girl quickly said she was sorry and ran to the coffee table to catch the villain.
"It's okay, Dudu, it's okay."
The little guy's belly was bulging and soft. "Don't show off, just eat as much as you can." "Yeah. Dudu knows that." Dudu said without forgetting to pick up the food in the bowl.
"Eat slowly."
Li Han was helpless. The little girl ran around like crazy all morning today, banging on the coffee table, catching cicadas, and her stomach wasted a lot. "I won't eat these after I finish them..." "Yeah."
"Wow. It smells so good."
As soon as the little man nodded, a tangy fragrance wafted over, and he immediately attracted a group of little children, kicking around. In a small wooden basin, deep-fried cicada monkeys were emitting a tangy fragrance.
Li Ping and his wife put a bowl in a big bowl and brought it to the table. The little people pulled the bowls one by one. The city children took it first, and the iron eggs were taken by a group of mountain children. They usually eat a lot, but they were fried like this today.
I really haven’t eaten it a few times.
"How do you eat this?" A city kid pretended to be better, but then he remembered that he didn't know how to eat.
"I'll teach you."
Hold the iron egg one by one and bite it in one bite, click, click, click, complete with the cicada shell. Don’t waste this deep-fried food. Several city kids looked at it in a daze, how could the shell be eaten?
Eat.
"Can cicada shells be eaten?"
"Why can't you eat this one? It's oily and delicious." Tie Dan pinched another one, and when the other children saw Tie Dan, they pinched the second one. What are you waiting for? Dudu pulled the food out of the bowl hard and grabbed a big
Got it.
Xiaomao was tall and small, so he couldn't squeeze in, so he was scurrying around anxiously. Dudu grabbed a handful and stuffed it into Xiaomao's bowl, and there was a pot full of cicadas. It was done in the blink of an eye.
Your Excellency, the table was full of delicious cicadas. The five couples in the city never left their eyes. "You're welcome. Eat." Li Han smiled and took one. He hadn't eaten for a long time, but it was a little bit.
I am no stranger to eating meat and spitting out its shells, so I got it right. "Six boys, you will understand after eating it, but our village is unique." Li Pinghe, a little high after drinking.
"Everyone eats."
“It tastes really good.”
"This is wild, full protein, good stuff, you're welcome." Big Brother, the oldest of the five couples in the city, said to everyone with a smile.
After a big bowl of cicadas, after eating it for a while, there were only a few cicadas left. The woman said, digging them back and giving them to the elderly at home to taste. "No problem, I'll let Tiedan take the cicadas later."
You go, this kid is the best at tinkering with these things."
Li Pinghe patted his chest and said, drinking wine from a big bowl and eating vegetables from a big bowl. People in the city who are usually polite, now let go of their reserve and ate and drank. What a generous person.
The little kid followed the village children, with their mouths full of oil and their clothes in mess, squatting on the ground, sticking their buttocks out, and creating a whole yard. There were twenty or thirty children squatting one by one, sticking their buttocks out, and carrying big bowls.
The adults looked at it and were amused for a long time, while the women frowned and wished they could drag their sons away. The girls quickly left the village and returned to the city, where they would no longer be able to choose a career.
A lunch lasted for more than two hours. All the men drank, the children all played like crazy, and the women were driven crazy by their husbands and children. Li Pinghe drank so much that he went crazy, shouting at the top of his lungs, and howling after a while.
, and got under the table with a pop.
The old principal is laughing like crazy. The tables, chairs, benches, schoolbags and stationery, and the money donated by kind people are almost enough for four classrooms, and the books are enough to build a reading room. The rice, flour, oil and salt are enough for the children to eat in the winter, what else do they need.
In particular, a lifetime of problems have been solved today. The preparation has come down. The speed is unexpected. The Anxi Education Department directly issued the document. The municipal bureau handles special matters. The speed is unprecedented. The old man is happy and will stick to it for the rest of his life.
After a lifetime of dedication, the country has not forgotten him. Although it is decades late, the old man is still happy.
The old principal was smiling, as if he could see the dawn of tomorrow, brightening the classroom. Students carrying new schoolbags walked into the classroom facing the first ray of sunshine, smiling faces.
The children happily returned the benches, tables and chairs, and put away the dishes and basins. Li Han and Li Pinghe saw the guests off. "Sixth boy, what is this?" When Li Ping and his wife were cleaning up the basins, they found that there was something under the basin.
envelope.
The envelope was opened, and there was a stack of red bills. One thousand and five were counted, and the family gave three hundred. "How come it's so much money." The old aunt's hands trembled, and then Li Han handed over fifteen hundred.
"Auntie, please accept it, I'm keeping it."
"I can't take it, I'll get stabbed in the back, little man, give the money back to me." Old aunt, don't say no.
"Auntie, let's leave it for now. When Lao Da wakes up, I can ask Lao Da for his opinion. Do you think this is okay?" Li Han said, saying that he was just enjoying the meal and drinking, and he didn't even know the name.
The old aunt hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll keep the money for now, and I'll ask you when your boss wakes up." "Aunt, I'll take Dudu and the baby back first, and I'll wait until my boss wakes up."
come over."
"You should go do some work beforehand."
Li Han carried the coffee table, and Dudu and Baobao followed him. When he got home, his father was calling his mother. "Just in time, your mother's phone number."
"mom."
Li Han took the phone and called out. Dudu and Baobao, two little people, jumped up and called grandma. "Aren't Dudu and Baobao naughty? I watched TV. The mountain road is so dangerous. You kid with Dudu
Du, baby, you are not afraid of falling."
"It's okay, Mom, it looks quite steep, but actually the road is quite wide." Li Han said, a path was made on the mountain wall. Why didn't it look like that as Li Han said? It was just to worry Zhang Xiuying.
"That's not okay. Don't bring two children there next time. They are so big and ignorant. They will fall and bump into each other. How can it be okay?" Zhang Xiuying babbled, and Li Han could only nod and explain, and asked
."Have you eaten yet?"
"We just ate at Lao Da's house," Li Han said.
"Dudu, where is the baby?" "The two little guys ate a lot at lunch, and their bellies are bulging." "Don't let the children eat too much," Zhang Xiuying said.
"Mom, I know."
Li Han agreed with a smile. His stomach was slightly bloated. He was a little drunk and his tongue was bent when he spoke. "I had a drink at noon." "Well, I'm accompanying a guest, so I drank a lot."
"Drink less. By the way, I heard from your dad that you want to occupy the high-sloping wasteland at the head of the village. It is not possible to grow crops on this land. If you plant trees, you may not have to cut them down, and the life will be long." Zhang Xiuying said. "You boss.
What did I tell you?"
"Well, Lao Da and Uncle said the same as you." Li Han said, his tongue became more and more knotted, and he couldn't speak fluently. "You, think about it again, don't act on your temper, let's help people,
Don’t mess around.”
"I know, Mom."
"Drink so much, go take a shower, take a nap, and call your dad." Li Han handed the phone back to his dad, Li Pinghe picked up the phone, Zhang Xiuying said a few words, looked at the beep, baby, don't make trouble,
She will come over tomorrow.
Li Han took a bath and fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while. He was woken up by the noise outside. It was getting dark. Li Han shook his head. Sure enough, he didn't need spring water. The alcohol was over 60 degrees, which was really a bit.
Above.
"What happened outside?"
Li Han put on his clothes and left the bedroom. "Xiao Liuzi, let's go, I can't take this money." Li Pingzheng, the boss, staggered and grabbed Li Han. He hadn't fully woken up from the wine, so why did he come here making a fuss?
.
"When you woke up and heard about the money, you had to send it back no matter what you said." The aunt looked helpless and couldn't hold her back.
"Lao Da, it's getting dark. Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll drive there early in the morning to deliver you." Li Han said, and Li Pinghe waved his hand. "No, no, there's no need to discuss this matter. If we accept this money, who will we be?"
Already."
Li Pinghe was still drunk, had a temper, and was full of childishness. Li Han, his aunt, and Li Pinghe persuaded him for a long time, and finally Li Han poured a glass of spring water without waiting.
"Lao Da, sit down first and have a drink of water." Li Han had no choice but to pull Li Pinghe to sit down. "Why are you sitting here? We can't ask for this money. Who have we become?"
"As members of our old Li family, when have we ever lost the face of our ancestors for the sake of money?" As he spoke, Li Han patted his cheeks and nodded helplessly. "Lao Da, you are right, drink some water."
"Water." Li Pingzheng took the water, drank it in one breath, and shook it. "People in the city have money, so they agreed that I would treat them to a meal and leave the money."
"Lao Ba, I have my own feelings, I can't tell, I can't tell." Li Pinghe said.
"Fifth brother, that's not what you said. People are kind to us, but we can't even afford a meal. What does this mean? Xiaohan, tell me, is this true?"
Li Ping was slapping his chest and shaking his head. Li Han nodded. It was useless to say anything. He was just waiting for the wine to wake him up. (To be continued)
