A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 242 Mom, do you know Mother Xue?

After breakfast, Lou Xiao'e asked Li Xing to take his younger brother to wash the pots and dishes.

Lou Xiu wanted to share the burden, but she stopped her: "I'm almost ten years old. I can do some housework. It's Saturday, so I don't have to go to school. If you want to do it, go make a cup of tea for Yuanzi and ignore them!"

Lou Xiu had no choice but to make tea.

Lou Xiao'e went to the living room with Li Yuan with a smile, sat on the sofa and said: "When I read the newspaper every day, I always see the messy news over there. Are you still fighting with Lao Maozi in the north?"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "All three sons of Aunt Wang's family went to the front line, and Uncle Song also went. In addition, Li Tang and the other three also applied for it themselves and made meritorious service. Aunt Wang told me At that time, I was so confused that I didn’t dare to tell my family.”

Lou Xiao'e couldn't laugh anymore. She thought of the three nephews from the Li family who smiled brightly whenever they spoke, and said nervously: "Don't... don't do anything... why are they so bold?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "There's nothing to say. Aunt Wang and Sister Xuemei have both asked me to take care of them. They said that if there was a big fight between the two sides and all the men of the Song family died, they would go up and let me take care of them." Let’s take a look at the Song family’s children.”

Lou Xiao'e and Lou Xiu, who were bringing tea, felt their scalps numb after hearing this. Lou Xiu sighed and said, "Has it come to this?" Then his face changed slightly and he said, "Then... what should I do at home?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It won't reach that point. In fact, there is only one opponent in Lao Maozi's eyes, which is Lao America. Maozi looks down on us in his heart and will not start a war for us and let Lao America take advantage. Their focus is, Always in the direction of Europe. Besides, we have exploded atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs one after another, which makes me feel scared."

Lou Xiao'e thought it was reasonable and nodded: "Now the whole world thinks we are the most dangerous and bellicose."

Li Yuan laughed, then shook his head and said: "Hedgehogs put up all the thorns on their bodies just to survive surrounded by tigers and leopards. Don't be brainwashed by the newspapers here."

Lou Xiao'e and Lou Xiu looked at each other and asked cautiously: "Yuanzi, do you still want to return to the mainland and live in the Siheyuan of Sijiu City in the future?"

Li Yuan looked at the two of them in surprise and said curiously: "Of course. We are all from the capital, and that is our roots. Sooner or later, the storm will pass, and life will return to peace... What do you think?"

Lou Xiao'e went straight, looked around, and said: "I think it is better here on Hong Kong Island, not because of wealth. At least, you can talk and laugh here casually, and you will not be arrested for cursing the Hong Kong government. You don't have to memorize it every day..."

After listening to her slightly excited accusation for a few minutes, Li Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Don't be excited, you can talk to your own family. Let me make a conclusion first: Wherever you are, your home is where I am. If you want to live here, No problem, I will definitely live here too.

But my parents and relatives are in the north after all, so in the future if things are relaxed and civil aviation can fly freely, I might be there during the day and here at night, or I might live here for five days and there for two days... That's not too much, right? ? "

Lou Xiao'e was so embarrassed that she felt ashamed. How could a man go too far when he made such a big concession? She laughed sillyly and said, "Husband, you are so kind!"

Lou Xiu also smiled with satisfaction: "If we don't want to go back to live, are you really not angry?"

Li Xing came from behind with his younger brother and thought to himself: Big Mom, why don't you be angry? My dad will die laughing!

He looked at his father again and silently praised with admiration in his heart: Dad, it has to be you! !
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Why are you angry? When a husband and wife live together, one party must be accommodating. Otherwise, I am living well in the capital, why would I come to Hong Kong Island? Now that Li Huaide is in full power, he eats and drinks hot food all day long, except for the normal In addition to the salary, he also specially gives me an additional ten yuan per month and [-] kilograms of national food stamps."

Lou Xiao'e laughed in surprise: "Why?"

Li Yuan said with a smile: "I wrote a "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", which basically covers common diseases in rural areas, and then what kind of herbal medicines should be used for each disease, how to treat it, and how to prevent it. It's all written in. I value this, and I have made a great contribution. My current unit has been promoted to the Metallurgical Department, a section-level cadre. If I work hard, I will reach the division level in a few years...

But it doesn't matter anymore, nothing is as important as being together as a family.However, don’t form a fixed impression of your hometown.If something is bad now, it may not be bad in the future.The times are developing and moving forward, and I believe it will get better and better in the future..."

He also knew that almost no one would believe such words now, so he simply said no more.

Er Lou's face became complicated, because of them, because of the Lou family, Li Yuan had sacrificed too much...

At this time, Li Yuan gave his son Li Xing a wink calmly.

Li Xing was numb and almost collapsed: Dad, I don’t have the skills you have!

However, he still couldn't live up to his father's trust. After sitting down with his younger brother, he said with a smile: "Mom, have you ever seen the Yellow Crane Tower?"

Lou Xiao'e was confused: "Why should I go there?"

Lou Xiu was surprised and said: "My old friend said goodbye to the Yellow Crane Tower in the west. Are the fireworks in Yangzhou the Yellow Crane Tower in March?"

Li Xing nodded happily and said, "Yeah! Big Mom, Dad took me to see it."

Then he asked: "Auntie, do you know about Tengwang Pavilion?"

Lou Xiu was even more surprised, and subconsciously said: "The old county of Yuzhang is the new mansion of Hongdu. The stars are divided into wings, and the ground is connected to Henglu. It has three rivers and five lakes, and it controls the wild thorns and leads Ouyue."

Li Xing continued: "The treasures are rich and precious, the dragon's light shines on the ruins of the Niu Dou; the outstanding people and the land, Xu Ru sits on Chen Fan's bed. The misty rows in the Xiongzhou, the handsome stars gallop."

Then he looked at his mother.

Lou Xiao'e laughed and said neatly: "Get out!"

Li Xing laughed dryly and looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan thought to himself that his son's skills were indeed not very high, so where did all this go, but he still cooperated and carried it on his back.

After the family of three finished memorizing the "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion", they all started to doze off when they looked at Lou Xiao'e and Li Si...

Li Xing was a little embarrassed, but he continued: "I saw the sunset at the old site, and the water and sky were all the same..."

Lou Xiu looked forward to it and said to Li Yuan: "If there is peace in the future, I would also like to see it."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "There will definitely be a chance."

Li Xing felt that it was almost done, so he looked at Lou Xiao'e and suddenly asked: "Mom, do you know Mother Xue?"

Lou Xiao'e originally thought that her ignorant son was here to test him again. She was about to answer "I don't know" and give him a slap in the face. As soon as she raised her hand, she suddenly reacted. She stared at her son and said, "Who? Mother Xue?" Who is it? Liu Xuefang? You should be called aunt..."

Li Xing smiled dryly and said, "No...it's not aunt. I know aunt. I also brought you a gift from her, Zhang Yiyuan's tea. I mean Mother Xue, Mother Qin Daxue!"

This start... Li Yuan felt that although his eldest son was very talented, he still needed more training.

But it was okay, he could still sit up, looked at his son with a smile, and cheered him on.

Li Xing finally gained some courage and asked again, "Mom, don't you know her?"

Lou Xiao'e glanced at her son suspiciously, then looked at Li Yuan and said, "What's wrong with Qin Daxue?" She also introduced Lou Xiu: "I told you, his childhood sweetheart."

Li Yuan sighed and said: "It's miserable. I almost had my head shaved off, and I was beaten there. There were messy things hanging around my neck..."

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment. The kindness in her heart was far greater than suspicion, and she said excitedly: "How can this be done?"

She simply couldn't imagine that that bright and beautiful girl would encounter such despicable and vicious humiliation!

Li Yuandao: "Because she is in her thirties and is not married yet, someone reported that she has ulterior motives and has been single just to climb high... Don't talk about her, even I am guilty of this. Li Huaide told me that I have been divorced , I am single now. From an organizational point of view, this means immaturity and instability, which is a big flaw. Moreover, someone reported that I have always missed the daughter of a capitalist, so I will not get married..."

Li Xing may have regained his composure, and said: "Grandpa Sun of Master Zhao's family said that Deputy Director Nie of the steel rolling mill and his wife told him that they thought their father was very good. Grandpa Sun said that they relented!"

Lou Xiao'e was startled and turned to look at Li Yuan. Li Yuan smiled and said, "What are you worried about? I'm all here."

When Lou Xiao'e thought about it, it was really...

Then look at the two bears sitting in the room, with one pregnant in the belly, and the big helper sister sitting next to them!
Well, there’s nothing to be afraid of Nie Yu. We’re not on the mainland, this is Hong Kong Island!

She breathed a sigh of relief, but then she felt something was wrong. She looked at Li Yuan suspiciously, then looked at her son Li Xing, and said, "What's going on with Mother Xue?" Li Xing chuckled and said, "Dad Married again!"

The one who had the biggest reaction was Li Si: "Huh?!"

Li Yuan glanced at the traitor indifferently, and then explained to Erlou, who was staring at him closely: "It is also forced. If you don't do this, it will probably be difficult to come out, at least it will be difficult to stay outside for a long time. Get married. , leaving a wife over there, Li Huaide can rest assured."

Li Xing helped: "Xue's mother was not here on the day of the wedding. She went to work. It was my father who drank wine and ate meals with my grandparents and master alone. It was not interesting at all."

Lou Xiao'e said expressionlessly: "Why?"

Li Yuan was still indifferent and said with a smile: "That is a person who pledged his life to the country. Ordinary people like us cannot understand their state. I chatted with her for a while, and I asked her: You have been tricked into You're like this, why do you still think about dedicating and working for these people who are trying to bully you? Isn't it ridiculous? What do you think she said?"

Lou Xiao'e thought about her impression of Qin Daxue. Of course, most of them came from Li Yuan's mouth. She asked, "How do you say it?"

Li Yuan sighed softly: "She said: It's not their fault that those people are ignorant. If the country was not poor and weak, and if everyone could eat well, wear warm clothes and read books, would those people still be like this? Definitely not! She said that the reason why China has survived for thousands of years is because there are scholars. She is a scholar. If she cannot stand up and work hard when her motherland needs her most, then what will happen to her? What should this nation do? Watch it fall behind, be beaten, and ultimately destroyed?

She also gave an example that her contribution was insignificant. Let me think about the three heroes of the Qian family, what did they give up?There were also so many overseas Chinese who came back from overseas to fight during the war. None of them survived on this land. However, at the time of national crisis, they still returned to the country without hesitation, flying their donated planes, and fighting the Japanese invaders in the sky. , many did not even leave their bones.

After saying this, she asked me, do I still think she is ridiculous?

What can i say?
If I were not married and had no children, I would probably make the same choice as her... Of course, it's just a possibility. I really don't have such a great mind as hers.

But I have a wife and kids, and I’m just a nobody and can’t do what she does.

The most she can do is to help her solve the dirty water that the villain splashed on her, and help solve the marriage issue.

She didn't show up much on the day of work and was busy in the commune...

But it doesn't matter, people like them are destined to sacrifice their family to repay the country. "

Erlou looked at each other after hearing this and felt that he could not ask any more questions.

Asking more deeply, such as "Have you two got on the kang?" is disrespectful to the heroine.

Forget it, I only went back for two or three days anyway, it’s not true...

Li Xing saw with his own eyes that the expressions of his mother and eldest mother softened and their tenderness reappeared, and the admiration for his father in his heart could not be increased.

Can... can it still be done like this?
At this time, he received another eye signal from his father...

Li Xing decisively talked about what he saw on the road, such as treating schistosomiasis patients, eating hot dry noodles, living in a cowshed, receiving a red five-pointed star, etc...

There are still many interesting stories, and Li Xing's eloquence is getting better and better. He described that he and his father were walking in the endless wilderness, with stars all over the sky, and the rolling river beside them. He felt that he had never experienced anything like this in Hong Kong Island. Feeling so strong, I started punching on the spot until dawn.

Li Yuan said with a smile: "That day Tang Yuan got into the groove. Years of hard work have paid off. If you succeed and become more energetic, you will definitely become a master in the future!"

Lou Xiao'e became happy and said, "Really? How powerful is he now?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "His master and I are forcing him not to practice too much. If his bones grow and die, he will only be 1.4 meters tall in the future. Why won't he cry to death? Now let him find inspiration every day. Wait until he is 16 years old before practicing. But the accumulation over the past few years will also explode by then. As for how powerful he is... He is more flexible, and ordinary adult men are not his opponents. But I do not recommend that he use force casually, it is easy Internal organs are injured due to shock. If this kind of hidden injury accumulates too much, it will easily affect life span in the future."

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e immediately said seriously: "Don't fight casually in the future!"

Li Xing nodded and smiled: "Oh!" He felt a little unable to sit still, and the atmosphere was still a bit awkward, so he said: "Mom, I took my brother out to play and see the new home."

"Go!"

After Lou Xiao'e agreed, Li Xing quickly took Li Si out.

Don't think Li Si is stupid. He is usually the most active person at home. He has been able to speak complete sentences since he opened his eyes.

Today, I quietly felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.

After his two sons left, Li Yuan took the initiative to hug his two wives to his side, hugged him from side to side, and said with a smile: "I know you are unhappy. I already have you two sisters, and you are still married to someone else. But there is really no way. Our relationship is not visible in the mainland. I think I can only gain Li Huaide's trust if I stay outside for a long time. He released me because he expected me to make Shenglong Pill and make him happy..."

"Shoryumaru? What is that..."

Lou Xiu asked in confusion.

Lou Xiao'e knew better and explained in a low voice. Lou Xiu was stunned, and then looked at Li Yuan suspiciously.

Although he didn't speak, the words were in his eyes...

You're so fierce, you won't hit that thing every day, right?
Li Yuan laughed angrily and patted her small buttocks, and said: "My martial arts skills are almost to the point of being unpredictable. I usually hold back my strength, for fear that if I use a little more force, I will skewer you two sisters together." , still doubt me?"

"Screw you!"

Lou Xiu's pretty face turned red, and she lightly clenched her fist and punched him.

Li Yuan laughed, hugged him lovingly, and then sneered: "A person like Li Huaide has no real ability in production, but he is good at picking up people. He has almost cleaned up the entire steel rolling mill." Now, Nie Yuanchao is the only one who dare not move because of his strong background. He is always on guard when it comes to employing people. If I don’t get married, I will give him something to monitor, so he will definitely not trust me running around.

But he can be solved easily. The key lies in the Nie family. Nie Yuanchao is the deputy director who is directly in charge of me.I don’t know what happened, but he suddenly liked me. Through Uncle Sun, he told me to perform well and keep up my efforts. The Nie family will soon bring Nie Yu back.

Is this still great? !
I know that Ezi has always been a formidable enemy to Nie Yu in his heart. If I really have no choice but to marry Nie Yu, then you will definitely never forgive me.

Am I the kind of person who abandons my wife and children just for the sake of power?

In front of the children just now, I deliberately made Qin Daxue so great. In fact, I was using her to block the Nie family and Li Huaide...

Oh, what a despicable person I am. "

"Don't say that about yourself!"

Lou Xiao'e felt distressed and leaned into his arms and whispered: "It's not like you haven't helped her. At least...at least others won't make excuses for her being single anymore."

Lou Xiu also said: "She is great, but... we just want to live a normal life, and that's right. If the country is peaceful, we won't leave our homes and careers and flee to Hong Kong Island. If a foreign enemy invades That’s all, but it’s...so, you don’t have to blame yourself. Yuanzi, will you go back often in the future?"

This is the master who asks the key questions quietly.

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "How is that possible? Except for having to go back to the Metallurgical Department at the end of the year, which delayed me for a month or so, I am usually here. You don't have to worry when you go back. Think about it, you will be very busy on your wedding day. Secretly, my parents are sitting at the table, and Master and the others are also there, but she doesn't even look at her, focusing on her work. Do you think this is a person who lives a good life? "

Lou Xiao'e was very happy and said: "Why is she like this?"

Lou Xiu was relieved and said: "Maybe, she doesn't want everyone to really think that she wants to be a good wife and mother. If she does it in advance, she won't have to explain it later. However, she is really selfless. So I admire her, but it’s hard to be her family member. Forget it, just be more understanding."

Li Yuan gave two thumbs up and said: "My two good wives are the best! They are both my heart and soul! Ezi, Xiuer, let's go upstairs for a while and take a lunch break, okay?"

"Screw you!"

As soon as Lou Xiao'e opened her hand with a smile, she saw Li Xing running back with his younger brother. Before he even entered the door, he shouted: "Mom, Dad, there are guests!"
