A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 67 The Qianmen Tavern

"You are Li Yuan's mother?"

The deaf old lady walked out with a cane at some point, stood on the front porch platform, looked at Mother Li and asked with a smile.

Mother Li nodded and smiled, "Yes, I'm Yuanzi's mother. Are you the old lady in the backyard?"

The deaf old lady laughed and said: "Your place, monkeys are smart monkeys, he is the only one who can cheat others. Who can cheat him? It's thanks to you two that you still worry about him."

Mother Li was not happy, and said: "Old lady, my Yuanzi is very good to you, and I will send you braised pork noodles every now and then. We parents have never eaten it, why do you still say that about him?"

The deaf old lady laughed angrily and said: "Everyone knows that he gave me braised pork noodles, but no one knows that he took 25 yuan from me at the beginning, and borrowed 20 yuan from me when he was going to get married, right? Order the coffin book, let the youngest of your family clean up the misfortune!"

Father Li: "..."

Mother Li: "..."

Seeing the Muggle couple on the spot, Li Gui even offered to pay back the money on the spot. The deaf old lady smiled and waved her hands again and said, "You don't have to worry about it, I'm willing to give it to him. This hozen is not bad, it's not evil. Unlike that Xu Damao, that kid is evil in his bones. Yuanzi brings me some food every now and then, annoys me and makes me laugh, and I live a lighter life."

Li Gui said slowly: "Then I can't ask you for money, so what's the matter?"

Now he was so angry that his chest hurt, it was strange that he had to ask for his money, how dare he cheat the money of the widowed old lady outside?
Now there must be a seam on the ground, and he wants to get in, and then use cement to cover the seam to death!
The deaf old lady said happily: "Just now, you two couldn't give out the money, didn't you feel uncomfortable? I am similar. Besides, he borrowed my money, and he started to pay it back the day he borrowed it. In fact, I know he is not short of money. , Borrowing money from me is just to tease me. He pays back other people's money every month, and he says he will pay back a few cents for my money every now and then, and he even settles accounts with me. On the first day I made a miscalculation on purpose, and wanted to rely on me for a penny or two, which caused me to live for a long time. But even if you are angry, life can be more lively, right?

So this child is good-natured, good-natured.

You two, I don't know in which life you have accumulated virtue, not to mention many children and grandchildren, but there is such a living treasure.

It's not bad for me, and it's the best for the first mother in the middle school.

Don't worry about the two of you, this monkey can play tricks. "

……

Li Yuan arrived at Lou's house on a bicycle with big red flowers hanging on the front. When he entered the door, he saw Lou Zhentao and shouted, "Mom and Dad, I'm here to pick up Xiao'e to get the certificate."

Lou's family was dumbfounded, and then the whole family burst into laughter.

Lou Zhentao stepped forward and patted Li Yuan on the shoulder, looked at his smiling face, nodded and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay! Go and tear up the certificate, we will be a family from now on!"

Lou Xiao'e wasn't shy at all, and she didn't go out crying like ordinary girls. She bounced up and ran to Li Yuan, turned around and said cutely: "I look good today, do I match well?"

Li Yuan looked at her. Lou Xiao'e was wearing a light blue cotton and linen dress today, covered with a milky white light woolen jacket, and a pair of khaki lambskin shoes on her feet.

This dress will not be outdated even after 70 years.

The current Lou Xiao'e is not the one in the original drama who was ridiculed by her husband's family all the time because she couldn't give birth to a child, and her life was not going well. She was bored in the courtyard, eating and sleeping every day, making herself ugly, ugly and fat...

She is now at the best time of her daughter's family, youthful, lively, beautiful and moving.

Li Yuan scratched his head, looked down at his black Chinese tunic suit, and the handmade cloth shoes made by Jia Zhang, and said: "You look so good-looking, and match well, but it doesn't go well with me...how about we do it again?" Think about it?"

Lou Xiao'e didn't care, stepped forward to take his arm, and said fiercely: "You think beautifully! You look good in whatever you wear, let's go get the certificate!"

Lou's family covered their faces, and Lou's mother waved her hands angrily: "I can't take this girl anymore! Take it away, take it away!"

Li Yuan and Lou Xiaoe looked at each other and smiled, bowed to Lou Zhentao and his wife, and went out together.

The second elder brother Lou Jun's face twitched a little, and he said, "Mom and Dad, my little sister is considered out of the court? Can't I?"

Lou Zhentao shook his head and said, "Your sister will come back after receiving the certificate, and Xiao Li will pick her up tomorrow by bike."

Lou Xiu sat alone on the sofa, looking haggard and dejected.

……

"Third sister is divorced."

Sitting in the back seat, Lou Xiao'e told Li Yuan about the important family affairs when she went out, but she felt: "This is a good thing, that Wan Xiaonian is not worthy of my sister at all. My father said he still smoked opium and was sent I went to the frontier to detoxify..."

"..."

Li Yuan laughed silently, this person has become a thing of the past.

Slogans with the characteristics of this era can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road:
Go all out, strive for the top, and build socialism more quickly, better and more economically!

Three years to surpass the British, five years to catch up with the United States!
How daring people are, how prolific the land is!
This is an old Forty-Nine City, but it is also a Forty-Nine City whose enthusiasm is so high that it is about to burn.

Li Yuan pedaled his bicycle, listening to his wife's chatter behind him, and the pagoda trees on both sides of the road kept falling their leaves.

When I arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, I quickly received my certificate.

After leaving the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two of them took a look at the certificate for a long time.

Like a certificate of merit, the inner pages are mostly printed with special patterns such as peace doves, rice ears, cotton, and double lotus. The overall drawing is bright and beautiful, full of joy, and the names of the two people are written...

Seeing Lou Xiaoe who was no longer joking but smiling, Li Yuan smiled and called out: "Daughter-in-law?"

Lou Xiao'e also greeted Li Yuan like women in this era: "The head of the family!"

Li Yuan laughed, and Lou Xiao'e also laughed brightly.

The passers-by saw them, and although they didn't know each other, they also laughed and said "Congratulations" enthusiastically.

After Li Yuan thanked him, he drove Lou Xiaoe back home, but Lou Xiaoe refused to go home and asked Li Yuan, "Why are you going?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I want to buy things, go to the supply and marketing agency to buy candy, tobacco and alcohol."

Lou Xiaoe was interested: "I'll go with you!"

Li Yuan said with a smile: "If you carry things in a car, you won't be able to plant your wife, and if you carry your wife, you won't be able to carry anything."

He is not Ao Debiao, he can kill everyone in a [-] outline and [-] catties.

Feeling the loss and attachment of his wife behind him, Li Yuan thought for a while and said: "Last night, some interesting people came to the front door, holding their children and letting me see a doctor. I helped a little, but they insisted on me I have to go to the front door in my free time. Let’s go to the tavern, eat some hairy belly and drink some wine, then go to the department store to pick out sheets and quilts, buy candy, and finally I will take you home. Then go to the vegetable market to buy other things .”

Lou Xiaoe said happily: "Success!"

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Hold your waist tight and let's go!"

……

Qianmen Bistro, with the sign of Daqianmen Bistro, a public-private joint venture, hanging on the door.

It was not yet lunch time, and there was no one in the store except a woman.

Li Yuan knew that this was the accountant of the tavern, Zhao Yali, mother of a hero, eight children in their thirties...

Seeing Li Yuan and Lou Xiao'e enter the door, Zhao Yali, who was doing the accounting, asked doubtfully, "Are you here for a drink?"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Is Eldest Sister Xu Huizhen here?"

Zhao Yali hurriedly said: "Are you looking for Manager Xu? She's not here, she's taking care of the children at home, she can only come here at night."

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Can I order something to eat now? Drinking and side dishes are fine."

Zhao Yali said helplessly: "Look for yourself, I'm the only one in the store at the moment. If I drink some wine, I can still make a fuss. Besides, the cooked food sellers haven't left yet."

Li Yuan said to Lou Xiaoe: "Then how about we drink some beer and chat?"

Lou Xiaoe said happily: "Beer? Okay, I drank a little bit before, and the taste... But it's okay, I'll watch you drink it! Yuanzi, do you like beer?"

Li Yuan nodded and smiled, "Yes, I like to drink."

In fact, I don't like it much. The taste of beer is not suitable for Chinese taste buds, but he likes the familiar taste, which reminds him of the gradually forgotten world.

Zhao Yali served two glasses of beer for the two of them, and said with a smile: "You two are not ordinary people, and your taste is similar to that of Lao Maozi. You two drink slowly and say hello if you have something to do."

After speaking, he went back to the counter to continue the accounting.

Li Yuan sipped the beer in his glass, it was not bad.

Lou Xiaoe saw that he was drinking happily, and said with a smile: "I have seen the advertisement of Qindao Beer, saying that drinking beer not only does not hurt the body, but also strengthens the body. Moreover, it can also stimulate the appetite and strengthen the spleen, and treat beriberi, rheumatism and gastrointestinal diseases. Sick. My second brother has a bad stomach, and the second sister-in-law bought Qindao beer for him after seeing the advertisement..."

Li Yuan laughed happily, "Will it work?"

Lou Xiaoe said angrily: "It doesn't work at all, and it hurts even more!"

Li Yuan took a sip of beer, clicked his tongue and said: "Stomach disease, if you think about it, you have to give up alcohol first, don't care about any alcohol. The second brother and the second sister-in-law are really brave."

"Fuck you! Hee hee!"

When Lou Xiao'e heard him teasing his family, she scolded and laughed again.

The two were chatting happily, when they heard "Yo", and looked back, they saw a man in a blue jacket and all in dust came in, looked at Li Yuan and said in surprise, "Doctor Li, are you here?"

Li Yuan got up with a smile, and said to Lou Xiao'e, "This is Cai Quanwu Brother Cai whom I met last night."

Although Lou Xiao'e was surprised that Li Yuan was so polite to a coolie, she still had a kind heart and called out: "Brother Cai, hello."

Cai Quanwu nodded again and again, and said: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect that the two of you can come to our tavern to sit and sit when you get your certificate today... Yali, Yali, go and call Huizhen!"

"Don't have to!"

Li Yuan hurriedly stopped him: "Just passing by to sit down and have a drink. You two were busy until midnight last night, it must have been hard work, so don't bother Big Sister Xu. We are also busy, and we are leaving soon."

Zhao Yali also heard something, and ran back regardless of Li Yuan's obstruction.

Li Yuan had no choice but to invite Cai Quanwu to sit down and chat.

Cai Quanwu heard that the wine will be served tomorrow, so he said happily: "Doctor Li, we have to go and have a meal with you."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I can't afford to entertain you. I prepared two tables for the elders and the leaders of the unit. We, the neighbors in the courtyard, have some barbecue and some wine. It's them Bring your own dry food. There is no way, if you don’t have a lot of money in your pocket, you can save some money. You don’t accept gifts, so the big guy still understands.”

"You are really..."

Cai Quanwu obviously couldn't understand it, especially when Lou Xiao'e was dressed so brightly.

Lou Xiao'e said happily: "He owes a lot of money, and he is stubborn, and refuses to take money from my family."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Others can't understand, Brother Cai must understand. Men, it's not like they can't make money by themselves, how can there be any reason to eat soft food?"

Cai Quanwuwen scratched his head and said: "But others say that I am a crumpled neck, that I eat soft food."

Li Yuan laughed and said: "As long as what we do is worth the money, it is not considered soft food."

Cai Quanwu understood, and was even happier. He went back to the counter and ordered Erguotou, and toasted Li Yuan and Lou Xiaoe.

Lou Xiao'e is naturally willing to meet Li Yuan's friends, and prefers that Li Yuan can meet more male friends instead of being surrounded by little girls all day long, so it feels embarrassing for Cai Quan.

After drinking for ten minutes, I saw Xu Huizhen ran in with a four or five year old girl laughing.

As soon as Li Yuan got up, Xu Huizhen laughed happily and said loudly: "Oh, Doctor Li! You are really my good brother. You came to see me today on the day of receiving the certificate. You are treating me as your own sister! From now on, I will It's your own sister! Look, I even brought your niece and daughter, Jingli, call your uncle!"

The little girl is Xu Jingli, she is not yet four years old, she is at the age of a jade carving, she looked at Li Yuan and cried out sweetly: "Uncle!"

Li Yuan flipped his hands and took out two big white rabbits from his pocket, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that I hid two big white rabbits today. They were originally intended to be given to your aunt. Well, now it's cheaper for you!"

Xu Jingli was sensible, and looked up at her mother.

Xu Huizhen said "Ouch" and said, "Doctor Li... Yuanzi, I will call you Yuanzi from now on! It's you, our family, you don't need to be so polite! Yuanzi, you are so sweet!" Let’s leave it to younger siblings, it’s too precious.”

She was planning to have three children, and it was absolutely necessary to make friends with a doctor who was proficient in pediatrics.

What's more, she also appreciates Li Yuan's character, coupled with the closeness of eyes, she recognizes the sincerity of this kiss.

Li Yuan made no excuses and introduced Lou Xiao'e to Xu Huizhen.

Lou Xiaoe laughed and said, "Sister Huizhen, give it to the child, I can still compete with the child for candy?"

Li Yuan also said suspiciously: "Eldest sister, you are not pretending to be close, are you?"

"That's right! Let me say something wrong, okay?"

Xu Huizhen became more and more happy when she heard him say that, and after admitting her mistake, she said to Xu Jing: "Lier, take it, go and thank uncle and aunt!"

Xu Jingli just took the two big white rabbits, and said happily: "Thank you uncle and aunt!"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "You're welcome, let's eat."

When Xu Jingli pushed aside a big white rabbit, the fragrant milky fragrance came to her face. She put it in her mouth, and squinted her eyes happily, and everyone who saw it burst into laughter.

Xu Huizhen looked at Li Yuan and said: "Yuanzi, you are really capable. Then Chen Xueru is in the silk business and often goes to Shenghai. I asked her to buy some of this kind of candy, and they all said that eating it would be very nourishing, but she said that the local people in Shenghai are very good. It is difficult to buy this kind of sugar, and there is really no other way.”

Li Yuan said with a smile: "There is a saying that there are seven cups of milk for one candy, but it is obviously exaggerated. In fact, children should eat less of any sweets. Usually, more bitter ones will nourish the body. They all say that eating bitterness is bitterness Fang Weiren, this bitterness is not only the bitterness in life, but also the bitterness in the taste is better than sweetness. Children often eat sugar, which not only hurts their teeth, but also affects their growth, and even makes them not so smart... Of course, it’s okay to eat less now and then.”

Xu Huizhen said in shock: "Yuanzi, is what you said true?"

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Of course it is true. I am a doctor. Not only Chinese medicine thinks so, but Western medicine also thinks so."

Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu looked at each other, and they both felt lucky. They didn't want their children to suffer, so they loved to give their children candies on weekdays.

Xu Huizhen looked at Li Yuan and said, "Thanks to you, Yuanzi, otherwise everything would be bad."

Then he looked at Lou Xiao'e, and he knew it in his heart. This is not an ordinary lady from a rich family, but she doesn't have the arrogance of the children in the big courtyard. Although she was puzzled in her heart, she didn't show it on her face, but said with a smile: "Siblings are so pretty, they are not ordinary people at first sight." He lowered his voice and asked, "You didn't come out of the big courtyard, did you?"

Lou Xiaoe hurriedly waved her hands and said, "No, my family is similar to yours, and they are also in business."

Xu Huizhen was taken aback when she heard the words, and asked, "May I ask what kind of business your family is in?"

Lou Xiaoe smiled and said, "My father is Lou Zhentao."

Xu Huizhen: "..."

She twitched the corners of her mouth, not knowing how to reply for a while...
