70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 712 Eccentricity
When Li Ying and Qu Guangming got on the train and went to Li Ying's house, Li Ying's mother also got up early in the morning and was leading the two daughters in the house to clean up.

"Li Hua, Li Qiao, you two clean up the house. Remember to clean and polish the underside of the table and under the bed, so that your future brother-in-law doesn't despise our house." Mother Li wiped the table, While commanding.

"I see, mother." Li Hua replied loudly.

If normally, her mother only let her and her sister work, but not her brother, she would have been dissatisfied, but tomorrow her sister and her future brother-in-law are coming back, and his brother-in-law is still from the city, so when At that time, I will definitely be able to bring her a lot of things to bring back, so Li Hua is working very hard at this time, and he is not like in the past, when he feels unbalanced, he immediately speaks back.

The youngest, Li Qiao, was silently working by the side, as usual, without making a sound.

"Mom, there isn't much water in the jar, I'll fetch water!" Li Kang said, taking the initiative to do the housework.

"What are you going to do? You're not in good health. If you're tired, what should you do? Let your older sister go." Li's mother hurriedly stopped her when she heard that Li Kang was going to work.

"It's okay, mother, I'm in good health now, I'm free if I'm free, I'll go." Li Kang insisted.

"No, the river is frozen now. What if you accidentally fall into it? Our Li family has only you as a single seedling. Nothing can happen to you, otherwise how can I feel sorry for you?" Dead father. Li Hua, you have no wink, don’t you see that there is not much water? Hurry up and pick it up!” Li’s mother sternly ordered Li Hua who was working on the side.

"I haven't finished cleaning the window sill yet, let someone else do it." Li Hua said in resistance.

"Cleaning, cleaning, you won't come back after carrying water and then clean it? Carrying water is your job, who else do you want to do for you? You don't want your brother to go? You black-hearted Damn, you want our Li family to have no children or grandchildren." Mother Li cursed loudly.

"My brother is so much older than me. I can carry water, why can't he carry it! His life is his life, but mine is not. I think you are biased." Li Hua angrily picked up the rag in his hand He fell into the water basin at his feet and said unconvinced.

"You still dare to beat me, I think your skin is itchy again."

Mother Li picked up the broom in her hand as she spoke, and hurried forward to beat Li Hua.

And Li Hua had already had experience, knowing that her mother would definitely beat her if she spoke up stubbornly, so he ran away immediately.

But she didn't run out of the yard, but just ran around the yard wall, so that when her mother was tired from running, she would stop beating her, and it would save others from seeing the joke.

"Okay, it's New Year's Eve, what's the fuss, it's not going to be a day." Grandma Li said angrily when she saw the chickens flying around in the yard, knocking on her walking stick.

"Mother, this damn girl Li Hua is more and more able to talk back now, if she doesn't teach her a good lesson, she will have to stare at her face in the future." Mother Li pinched her waist with one hand and held a broom in the other, panting.

"Okay, Kangkang is 17 after the new year, and it's time to do some work for the family. Let him fetch water." Grandma Li said directly.

"But Kangkang is not in good health, mother, it's not like you don't know." Mother Li said in disapproval.

"His illness has been cured for more than half a year, and his health has long been healed. If you get used to him every day and don't let him do anything, his health will only get worse. Kangkang, go fetch water, and in the future, the family will pick water The work of the water is yours." Grandma Li said without rebuttal.

"Okay, grandma, I'll go right away."

Seeing what his grandma said, Li Kang happily picked up the bucket in front of the kitchen door, ready to go to the river to fetch water.

In fact, he has long wanted to help the family with work, but his mother has not allowed it, for fear that he will be tired.

And because he didn't work very much, he was often ridiculed by people of the same age in the village, saying that he was weak and incompetent, and he was supported by a family of women.

Whether it's out of jealousy or because they really think they're a coward, those words are uncomfortable to hear.

Now he can finally help the family with work and share the burden of the family, and he is still very happy.

"Don't go so fast, slow down! Forget it, I'll go with you." Mother Li said worryingly as she saw Li Kang unsteadily carrying the burden.

"Mom, don't follow me. If the villagers see it, they will laugh at me." Li Kang said in disapproval.

"What are you laughing at? They are just jealous that you are favored at home, so you don't need to talk to them. Anyway, I'm going to follow you today. If you don't let me go, then don't go out to fetch water, let Li Hua do it. "Mother Li said that she could not refuse.

Li Kang had no choice but to let Li's mother follow him.

But he immediately walked forward quickly, trying to keep away from his mother, lest others laugh at him like a 3-year-old child, and adults have to watch him when he comes out to pick up water.

"Kangkang has really grown up, and he knows how to help the family carry water, which is really good." Aunt Wang next door boasted with a smile after seeing Li's mother.

"That's right, this kid has been diligent since he was a child, and he started working not long after he was cured of the illness. He didn't even want to let him rest." Hearing others praise her son, Li's mother opened her eyes proudly Talk nonsense.

"Isn't it? The children in your family are the best in the village. No one praises them. By the way, is Li Ying coming back tomorrow? I heard your voice just now." Aunt Wang came out Asked loudly.

"Yeah, I wrote a letter a few days ago saying that if I come back today, I should be able to arrive tomorrow. At that time, my son-in-law in the city will come back with me. I am planning to go to your house to find you at noon, and let your man and your son Tomorrow, I will bring your two little grandsons to the house to accompany the guests, and now that I meet you, it will save me a trip." Mother Li said very happily.

Their new son-in-law came to the house for the first time, and he must find a few men to accompany him. On the one hand, it is to show importance, and on the other hand, it means to support them, to prove that there are people in their natal family, and they are not allowed to bully their daughters. The rules are the same in many places.

However, there is no adult man in his family, so he can only find it from the neighbors.

It is also the rule here to let them bring their two grandchildren with them. Having a child means that Li Ying will marry into Qu Guangming's family in the future, and there will be a lot of children and grandchildren.

But if there are children, Qu Guangming will give red envelopes.

Mother Li forgot to tell Li Ying before, and I don't know if she knows this rule. It seems that she will remind Li Ying in advance tomorrow. If her partner can't come up with the money, it will be embarrassing.

"Didn't you say that Li Ying's partner is an officer in the city, and you paid 300 yuan to see a doctor for your son before? Such a powerful family, my man and honest people like my son, if they go to accompany customers , Wouldn’t that embarrass your family? I think you should go to the captain and the accountant, I’m afraid that my man and my son can’t talk, and I’ll neglect your son-in-law in the city.” Aunt Wang said a little nervously.

The Li family is different now, and it will definitely get better and better in the future. Aunt Wang still hopes that her family can continue to have a good relationship with Li Ying's family.

But her husband and son are both dull-tempered and not very talkative, so she is still a little afraid that the two of them will lose face if they go.

"What's the matter? As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son. Since he is Li Ying's object, he is no different from our own children. They don't need to say much, as long as they have a meal together. And Li Ying When I went to college, your family gave me five yuan back. You and him, Uncle Wang, treated Li Ying so well. My man and your man had such a strong relationship before his death. Our two families are so close neighbors. , your man and your son go to accompany the guests, that's perfect, you can't refuse, let's just agree." Li's mother said angrily.

When her family was in trouble, only the Wang family was as good as ever and helped them a lot. She always remembered this kindness.

"That's fine, since you've said that, I'll let them go over tomorrow. They can't say nice things, but they are tall and imposing, and I promise to support Li Ying." See Li's mother thought highly of his family so much, and she didn't forget his family's help to Li Ying, so Aunt Wang replied happily.

She is still very willing to hand over to such a family who knows how to repay her kindness.

As far as the two of them were talking, Li Kang had already walked away with a shoulder pole.

"Kangkang hasn't done much work before, and I don't know if he can carry water well, so I won't talk to you, I'll go and see him." Seeing that her son was gone, Mother Li said quickly.

"Then go there, the river is slippery, so be careful." Aunt Wang said directly when she saw that Mother Li was so worried.

Afterwards, she went home to share the news with her man and son.

I happened to go back and find two unpatched clothes for the two of them, and save them for tomorrow to save embarrassment tomorrow.

After Li's mother bid farewell to Aunt Wang, she hurried to the river, but before she reached the river, she saw Li Kang staggering over with a pole.

"Mom, I've picked water, let's go home." Li Kang said happily.

He doesn't work often, and he doesn't know how to carry a pole. The water in the buckets on both sides has been spilled a lot, but the smile on his face is very big, and he is very confident. I have never seen him so energetic.

"You have already picked such a long way, why don't the rest of you pick it!"

Mother Li looked at the half-sprinkled water, thinking that if he picked it up like this, there would not be much left in the bucket, but seeing Li Kang so happy, Mother Li didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, so she could only say tactfully .

"It's okay, mother, I can pick and choose, let's go home."

After speaking, Li Kang continued to walk forward excitedly.

And the more he walked, the more proficient he became. Originally, he walked two steps and stopped one step, and the buckets in front of him fell down for a while, and the buckets behind him fell for a while, and the situation became less and less, and his walking became more and more stable.

This made Li's mother feel distressed and at the same time very relieved, feeling that her son had really grown up.

"I heard that your son-in-law from the city is coming over tomorrow?" When Li's mother was walking home, the captain stopped her and asked aloud, pretending not to care.
