Chapter 217 You little bastard

Comrade Li Honghua, a laid-off employee of Hongqi Machinery Factory, got up early. The sky was still dark at that time and it was six o'clock.It always gets brighter later in winter.

Usually, he would get up, wash the rice, put it into the pot to cook, and then go out to buy vegetables. After buying the food, he would put it there to keep it warm, so he would cook until it was almost eight o'clock, when the sky was completely bright, it was time to have breakfast.

His wife, Comrade Chai Jun, is not as strong as him, so Comrade Li Honghua usually wakes up Comrade Chai Jun to have breakfast after Comrade Li Honghua has prepared breakfast.

But today, Comrade Li Honghua did not light a fire to cook. Instead, he went outside to buy something early for his younger son and Comrade Chai Jun to eat. However, he could not eat anything, not even boiled water, but only mineral water.

According to local custom, after an old man passes away, his son cannot eat anything that is too hot before he is buried. As long as it is food formed by fire, including boiled water, he cannot eat it.

This is called filial piety,

Li Mu understands that this is to let future generations remember not to lose the tradition of enduring hardship and stand hard work, and not to forget the difficult years that the older generation endured.

"Who?"

"dad."

When Comrade Li Honghua went out, he suddenly saw a person sitting on the ground outside the iron gate. He suddenly became nervous and picked up the broom beside him and shouted.

Li Mu shouted and stood up.

Li Honghua was startled, "Xiao Mu? It's you! Why did you come back? Why are you sitting here?"

Dad had several questions in a row.

"I came back after four o'clock. I didn't have the key to open the door, so I just sat here for a while." Li Mu said easily, holding back tears.

Li Honghua's eye circles were already red, "You are such a bastard, why are you sitting outside in the freezing cold when you get home, come in quickly, it's freezing, you silly boy!"

Li Honghua's shout just now woke up Comrade Chai Jun. She got up and walked out quickly, "Honghua, what are you yelling about?"

"Mom." Li Mu shouted, and the tears couldn't help but flow down.

Comrade Chai Jun was stunned. When he saw clearly that Li Mu was not my son, he cried so hard that he could not speak.When Li Honghua told what had just happened, Comrade Chai Jun was so heartbroken that he scolded him for a while. He quickly ordered Comrade Li Honghua to buy breakfast while he went to boil water to wash his son's face.

Li Mu's younger brother, Bruce Lee, was also woken up. He got up sleepily and couldn't stop crying after calling him brother.There was a boy named Bruce Lee who had the same name as the King of Kung Fu. He was only a freshman in college. He rushed back the day before yesterday and was half a boy.

There was a commotion at home. Li Mu did nothing and let his parents get busy. Otherwise, his parents might not feel at ease.The emotions of families from rural areas are always different from those in cities, restrained and touching.

There were no more scenes of meeting each other and talking about missing each other. Soon everyone suppressed their emotions deep in their hearts and reflected them more in actions.

At dawn, Li Mu hastily ate a few steamed buns to fill his stomach, then went back to the house, took out all the money from his pocket, put it on the table, and said, "Dad, Mom, here is 3000 yuan, and the [-] is my money." [-] is the condolence money given by the army.”

Li Mu didn't wait for his father to ask questions, and said, "After the army leaders found out that my grandfather was a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, they specially applied for 2 yuan in consolation money for me. It will all be used for my grandfather's funeral. If I stay in the army, my future salary will be 2000 yuan." It’s a lot, and I don’t spend much money in the army. I give it to all the troops, so you can rest assured that there will be more money in the future.”

He had to sit for more than an hour to come up with the excuse of "symbol money". Otherwise, his parents wouldn't dare ask for it. Otherwise, he couldn't hide it from his father, a former worker, peasant, and soldier college student.

With that said, Li Mu looked at his younger brother Bruce Lee and said, "Bruce Lee, from now on, I will call you directly for your tuition and living expenses, so you don't have to ask for it from your family anymore."

Bruce Lee said, "Brother, I got a scholarship, 5000 yuan from the state, and 300 yuan a year as a subsidy for poor students. I found a part-time job in the school network center, [-] yuan a month, which is completely enough. You don't have to worry about me." .”

"I'm telling you, your task is to study hard, and it's not your turn to worry about money. Work-study is a good thing, but you can't put the cart before the horse. Do you understand?" Li Mu said.

Although the two brothers were only two years apart, Li Mu matured precociously, had much more social experience, and became a professional non-commissioned officer. Bruce Lee was just a child in front of him.

"I know." Bruce Lee nodded obediently.

Li Honghua looked at Li Mu and asked seriously, "Xiao Mu, have the army leaders approved your return? I told Xiaolong many times not to tell you, this little bastard is disobedient!"

As he spoke, he glared at Bruce Lee, who did not dare to look at his father.

"Of course it was approved. The leader took it very seriously and bought me a ticket to fly back. But I was only given a few days of leave. After seeing off my grandfather, I had to return to the army," Li Mu said.

"That's good, that's good." Li Honghua said and sighed, "Your grandfather is 88, and he left at his own leisure. He was very peaceful. I told you a long time ago that you should not worry about this and concentrate on doing well for you." Training to do your job is better than anything else.”

Comrade Chai Jun echoed: "That's right, I was in the hospital that day and told him, old man, your children and grandchildren are all going to be successful. You can just go on a good day. Your grandpa nodded at that time. Your grandpa is very awake. It’s like falling asleep, very complete.”

It was a good thing. Li Mu couldn't let sadness take over everything. The old man left soberly, and he left with full satisfaction.

"Dad, where is grandpa now?" Li Mu asked.

Li Honghua said, "Today is a good day for the mortuary. We have already contacted you. We will simply follow your grandfather's wishes during his lifetime."

Li Mu stopped talking. He wanted the old man to leave in glory, but the old man's last wish must be followed.The old man has never raised an army to stir up crowds in his life, and he doesn’t want to raise an army to stir up crowds when he leaves, so let’s just follow the old man’s wishes.

"Your father asked someone to look at his life. This year is not suitable for making a fuss, and next year will have a good life." Comrade Chai Jun said, knowing a child is like a mother, she knows what Li Mu is thinking.

Li Honghua said, "Let's do what your grandpa wants this year. When you two brothers are successful, we can take care of things properly so that your grandpa, Izhishi Izhi, can be happy."

"Okay." Li Mu nodded. It is difficult for juniors to control such matters.

"Brother Mu!"

"Brother Mu!!"

"Li Mu!!!"

Suddenly someone shouted from downstairs. Li Mu was surprised and got up and went out, "I'm going to see who is here."

There was a line of cars parked downstairs, including luxury cars and economy cars. There were seven or eight cars parked. A dozen or so people who were older than Li Mu or about the same age as Li Mu stood downstairs, raising their heads toward the third floor and calling out to Li Mu. name.

Li Mu stuck his head out from the corridor and took a look. They were all his former brothers. He was really happy when the news spread. He turned back and said, "My former friends are here. I don't know how they knew I was back. I'll go down and tell them." a few words."

After explaining, Li Mu walked downstairs, and a crowd of people downstairs were looking forward to it.
