That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 191 Will wealth and honor not return home?
Wu Juying and Han Chunmei served Jin Peng, Wang Jianqiang and others a large pot of scallion and egg noodles, and the three brothers ate happily in the room.

Jin Peng took a sip of noodle soup and said to Li Ye: "Hao Jian called me the day before yesterday and said that he would not go back to Qingshui County for the New Year this year. It is not convenient for him to contact you, so let me tell you."

"What are you talking to me about? I don't care where he spends the New Year?" Li Ye said indifferently: "Besides, his daughter's body is indeed more comfortable in Yangcheng than in Dongshan. She just settles in the south."

Jin Peng shook his head and said: "No, Hao Jian went back to his hometown in northern Hubei to celebrate the New Year this year. He called me to show off in advance."

"Showing off? Showing off for what?"

"Show off the car," Wang Jianqiang put the empty bowl on the table and complained a little: "Hao Jian was lucky. He finally bought a car two years ago. But instead of giving it to Brother Xiaoye for you to sit in, he drove it himself. I’m going back to my hometown to show off.”

According to Wang Jianqiang's idea, when Pengcheng No. [-] Factory bought a car, Li Ye, the "first brother," had to sit first, and everyone else had to queue up later.

Li Ye smiled and said: "Wealth and honor will not return home, just like walking at night in brocade clothes. It's not like you don't know the wish that Hao Jian made at that time. As friends, we have to help him and fulfill him, right?"

"If wealth does not return to its hometown, it will be like walking at night in brocade clothes?" Jin Peng and Wang Jianqiang both thought about it and asked Li Ye: "What does this mean?"

"This is a sentence in "Historical Records·The Chronicles of Xiang Yu". The original sentence is 'Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, and they travel at night like embroidered clothes. Who knows?'
It means that a poor and humble person has successfully made a fortune through his own hard work. If you don't go back to your hometown to show off, it's like walking around in gorgeous clothes at night. No one will know about your scenery? "

Li Ye turned into a historian and explained the meaning of this sentence to the two people. After listening, the two people had completely different reactions.

Jin Peng nodded repeatedly, feeling that Li Ye was right.

But Wang Jianqiang lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

In fact, the difference in their thoughts can be seen from the way they dress today.

Jin Peng is wearing a British-style suit and windbreaker, custom-made by Pengcheng No. [-] Factory.

Over the past year, Jin Peng has returned to Qingshui County several times to visit relatives. The reputation of "Boss Jin" has become more and more popular. Even his daughter-in-law, who has not yet married, has been "blind" to Jin Peng's stupidity since the beginning. The daughter has become a discerning "boss lady".

Wang Jianqiang is the opposite extreme. He is covered in dirt and wants to be as low-key as possible. He hasn't been home for a year, and his family doesn't care how he is doing or whether he is dead.

These two methods of doing things actually have their own reasons. Decades later, even the second method is recognized by many people.

It’s just that it’s 82, and there are more styles like Hao Jian and Jin Peng.

Wang Jianqiang did not raise his head and asked Li Ye in a low voice: "Brother, do you think I should also put on some bright clothes?"

"It depends on you," Li Ye said with a smile: "Qiangzi, the reason why we have to work hard is to live a free and easy life, just to be able to do whatever we want without caring about other people's opinions.
Now if someone laughs at you because you dress like this, would you care? "

"I don't know how!" Wang Jianqiang smiled naively and said, "When others laugh at me, I just think that they are blind and cannot see my good deeds."

"."

"Hahahahaha~"

"Qiangzi, you are so articulate. It really made me laugh to death."

Li Ye and Jin Peng both laughed, especially Jin Peng, which made Wang Jianqiang a little embarrassed.

However, Li Yema immediately encouraged him: "Don't worry about it, Qiangzi. From now on, you can read more and study more. I guarantee you will be no worse than anyone else. At least you will be much better than your brother Peng."

"Brother I don't care about," Wang Jianqiang said seriously: "I can tell the difference between a real smile and a fake smile. In fact, Brother Peng has been reading and studying, and he is not bad at all."

"Huh~"

Li Ye smiled and said nothing more.

Jin Peng is indeed learning to recharge, but he was forced to learn it by Li Ye and Wang Jianqiang. Wang Jianqiang, who seems stupid, is actually a down-to-earth "stupid bird flies first" and works harder than when he was in school.

In the past, this hard-working kid with a big appetite was disliked even for eating, so how could he find the time to study?
But now that he has solved his material difficulties, Wang Jianqiang has shown his persistent and tenacious nature.

In Li Ye's view, Wang Jianqiang is an enhanced version of "Guo Jing" who is dull and has the energy to accept death.

After eating, Jin Peng and Wang Jianqiang stayed at Li Ye's house for a while, and then went home to find their respective mothers.

Both of them have been working outside for a year. Jin Peng occasionally comes back to have sex with his wife, but Wang Jianqiang never comes back once.

It's just that Jin Peng is in a hurry and impatient, but Wang Jianqiang is dragging his feet and is timid at home.

Everyone can only walk their own path, and outsiders can't help.

. . . . . .

After Wang Jianqiang, Jin Peng and others left, before noon, another person came to Li Ye's house.

Han Xia, her mother and father, and her two younger sisters drove a tractor to the door of Li's house and moved down several years' worth of goods.
Especially the dozen or so big carp and grass carp made Li Ye speechless.

The water quality environment is really good these days!By draining a pond, you can get so many wild carp and grass carp that are more than half a meter long.

It won't be until a few decades later that wild fish of this size will be easy to obtain except in the southern river areas. Places like Dongshan can't even think about it. They can only eat farmed fish with a full belly of feed.

However, Han Xia and her family came here not only to send new year's goods to the Li family, but also to pay homage to Master Huai.

Ever since Li Ye "accepted the dream of Master Lao Huai" and won the first place in the province in one fell swoop, Master Lao Huai's popularity has grown exponentially.

Now everyone secretly agrees that Wu Juying, the grandma of the Li family, has the greatest blessing. Otherwise, why would Li Ye be singled out?

Han Xia's two younger sisters are both in middle school, so they can take advantage of them.

In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, sister-in-law Li Mingxiang, her cousin Zhao Meiwen, and Hu Man, his brother and his mother all arrived at Li Ye's house to meet.

Reluctant Li Ye was also pulled over by Wu Juying, but he only stayed at the old locust tree for a few minutes before returning.

Because this time Li Ye had just bent his knees and before he knelt down to kowtow, there was a faint sound of thunder in the dark sky.

I don’t know if he was shouting harshly - "You evildoer, are you showing up to be an eyesore again?" or if he was whispering persuasion - "Demon King, please leave quickly."

Anyway, Li Ye, who had been in similar situations twice in a row, decided not to worship Master Huai again in the future.

. . . . . .

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after breakfast, neighbors and friends began to walk around each other to pay New Year greetings.

Except for Wen Leyu, everyone in the eight-person group arrived at Li Ye's house. Even Chen Jinhua, who was still hospitalized, asked Jiang Xiaoyan to help her come over to pay New Year's greetings.

Li Zhongfa hurriedly called to Wu Juying and asked the old lady to move Chen Jinhua to the back room. The heating stove was humming, for fear that Chen Jinhua would be contaminated with cold air and her condition would worsen.

This move made Chen Jinhua restless, and she quickly said: "Auntie, you don't need to bother me so much. I'm not that delicate. I'm not that delicate. I'm actually already well. If my daughter hadn't stopped me, I would have been discharged from the hospital."

"You're talking nonsense," Wu Juying said with feigned anger, "If you don't cherish yourself, you will be the one to suffer when you get old.
I heard from my grandson that your illness is caused by delay. If you don't pay attention to it, you won't be able to do any heavy work in the future, and you won't be able to breathe once you do it. "

"Hey, hey, it's not that serious, it's not that serious."

Chen Jinhua smiled coquettishly, but her heart felt warm and comfortable.

She was very nervous when she came. She heard that Li Zhongfa was a bureau chief, and his status was higher than that of the village cadres. He was thousands of miles away from ordinary people like her. She didn't know how "majestic" he was!

But now looking at Li Zhongfa who was busy cleaning the stove, and Wu Juying who was serving tea and water, Chen Jinhua couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "These are the public servants of the people!"

At this time, the mothers of Hu Man, Han Xia, Li Dayong and others also came in to join in the fun, and they quickly became friendly and made Chen Jinhua relax.

As they were talking, someone said to the window: "Our children! They have all benefited from Li Ye. Look at them now, are they still the same as last year?"

"It must be different. Last year when I was re-reading! My son didn't say a word all day long, and I felt sad when I saw him. But now he can actually tell jokes. He really made me laugh yesterday."

"It's just that, it's only been half a year, and my son has changed a lot."

Several women came to the window and looked at the college students laughing and joking in the yard, with the "satisfaction" in their eyes overflowing.

In the past, when Jiang Xiaoyan, Yan Chengcheng and others were re-reading, their entire beings were enveloped in that kind of depressing depression, which made people think, "Why is this child so depressed?"

But now Jiang Xiaoyan and others are confident, shining brightly like the sun after breaking through the dark clouds, not only changing themselves, but also quietly warming others.

Wu Juying also looked at Li Ye through the window. Seeing her grandson occupying the center of everyone, she couldn't agree more with her wife Li Zhongfa's original wisdom.

A fence has three stakes, and a hero has three helpers. Even though these children are still small saplings and cannot be of much help now, in a few years, one of them may be able to help the other!

But just when Wu Juying was looking at Li Ye with pride, several "relatives" came into the yard.

Wang Jianqiang's wife, Fan Chunhua, brought Wang Jianqiang and his second brother Wang Yongyong to pay New Year's greetings.

Wang Qiangqiang's wife is not tall but has a loud voice. As soon as she entered the door, she said: "Uncle, aunt, we are here to wish you New Year's greetings."

Li Ye, who was joking with his classmates, turned his head and saw Wang Jianqiang's bitter smile for the first time.

"Hey, Xiaoye, have you called all your classmates over? That's just right. Aunt Six will have to talk to you later."

"Sixth Aunt, we are on our way to pay New Year's greetings to the school teachers! If you have anything to do, just tell my grandparents."

"No, no, I may have to tell you about this. Don't leave yet! Otherwise Aunt Six won't let you."

"."

When Fan Chunhua led her two sons into the main room, Li Ye quickly said to several classmates: "Remember them all! If Qiangzi's mother asks you about Qiangzi later, just say you don't know. , I don’t know if I ask three questions, do you understand?”

Hu Man and others didn't know why, but they all nodded secretly.

Li Dayong knew the inside story, so he couldn't help but pull Li Ye aside and whispered: "Did Qiangzi reveal his secret?"

Li Ye slowly shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but it's really too difficult for Qiangzi to tell lies and deceive his mother."

"Too!"

Li Dayong deeply agreed. They were all brothers who grew up together. Wang Jianqiang was famous for his naivety, and his mother Fan Chunhua's shrewdness was well known to everyone. There is no better son than a mother. Now Wang Jianqiang It must be very difficult to hide private money in front of Chen Jinhua.

But Li Ye and Li Dayong both underestimated Wang Jianqiang.

Five minutes later, the cry of Wang Jianqiang's wife Fan Chunhua could be heard faintly in the main room, and then Li Ye was called into the main room.

Li Ye entered the room and took a look. There were not many tears in the corners of Fan Chunhua's eyes, just thunder in the dry land.

But Grandpa Li Zhongfa's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and Grandma Wu Juying kept giving him winks.

"Grandpa, what do you elders want to do with me?"

"It's your juniors' business."

Li Zhong said in a muffled voice: "Your sixth aunt asked your second son to take over Qiangzi's errand, but Jin Peng blocked him. Don't you know that Hao Jian? Your sixth aunt asked you to tell him."

I said your mother.

Li Ye first looked at his sixth aunt Fan Chunhua, who was wiping away tears, and then looked at Wang Jianqiang, who was sitting on the pony with his head down.

The maza was a bit small, and Wang Jianqiang, who was much stronger in body, looked somewhat ridiculous sitting on it.

Li Ye glanced at him, and both brothers were equally helpless.

[Brother, how come you are so shabby and yet you are still being noticed? 】
