"Brother Li, I've finally found you. I've been looking for you for a long time!" The old man cried tears of joy. "You don't know. You were sleeping in the next bed. I don't remember your face, but your eyes are easy to recognize …"
It was hard to forget those squinting eyes!
"It's been almost thirty years. What's there to talk about?" Li He definitely didn't feel good about being exposed. At this moment, he just wanted to chase the old man away. "I'm very happy to see you. Brother, I won't keep you any longer. Go on with your work."
"Brother, it's a piece of cake for you, but for us, it's like saving our family! My old lady was still talking about it when she was sleeping last night. If it wasn't for the 200 yuan you left behind … "The old man suddenly burst into tears." She might've been gone. I have two sons at home. That was my youngest son just now.
If she was gone at that time, do you think an old man raising two children would be able to survive! "
He was still scared when he thought about it now.
200 yuan didn't seem like much now. It was just the price of a meal at a restaurant! What was it worth?
But in 1983, Fuqiang powder was only twenty cents a catty.
At that time, he sold all the valuable things in his house and scraped together, but he only managed to get 50 yuan!
If it weren't for Li He's 200 yuan, he would have nowhere to go!
"Then give me back the money." Being held by a tearful old man, Li He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "That way, we won't owe each other anymore!"
"This is a slap in my face! Do you think I'm such an ignorant person? "The old man said agitatedly." Back then, my relatives couldn't even borrow 20 yuan!
It's all because of poverty! "
"Brother, can you let go of my hand first?" Li He didn't speak anymore. He believed that the snot coming out of the old man's nose would soon fall on his arm.
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry." The old man hurriedly let go and wiped his snot with his sleeve. Seeing that Li He was still looking at him, he was not stupid. He hurriedly washed his hands in the lake and then washed his face. "I'm old, so I'm a little sloppy."
"I'm the same as you. I'm getting old, and I'm too lazy to tidy up." In fact, in the past two years, Li Lao Er had become more and more obsessed with cleanliness.
"Brother, my name is Hong Danian. I used to live at the foot of the mountain, but after this place was turned into a protected area, I was moved to the national highway in front. No matter what, I have to treat you to a meal. I really don't know how to repay you! "Hong Danian said very sincerely.
"Thank you. Can we wait for next time? I don't have time this time." Li He tried his best to refuse. He didn't want to travel so far just for a meal.
"That's fine. Anyway, I know where your house is. Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow morning, I'll ask my boss to pick you up!" Seeing that Li He refused firmly, the old man didn't say anything more. "We don't have anything prepared at home. I won't treat you now, but you must come tomorrow!"
"We'll talk about it then." Li He answered with uncertainty.
"That's settled." Hong Danian waved his hand and ran away happily.
His son and wife didn't follow Li Lan into the house. Instead, they stood under the shade of the tree at the intersection. Seeing his father coming over happily, they wanted to ask him something, but they were pushed away by his father.
"Hurry up and go home. Don't just stand there." Hong Danian sat on the tricycle and urged them to leave.
Not only were his son and wife confused, even Li Lan couldn't understand what was going on. Why was this old man so happy? What drugs did he take?
Looking at the tricycle that was gradually getting further away, Li He glared at his son, then turned around and went back into the house.
Li Lan was left with a confused face. Who did he offend?
At night, He Fang made a lot of dishes, most of which were seafood.
In the past, Li He rarely ate seafood because he was afraid of trouble and it was difficult to peel the shell. With his bad temper, he was too lazy to eat seafood. But now, from the perspective of health, he began to pay attention to a balanced diet and would eat a little of everything.
This table of seafood was all bought by him.
At night, when sleeping, He Fang kept massaging her back.
"Why don't we hire a nanny? Isn't she younger than you?" Li He helped to massage her back.
"Hire a nanny?" This time, He Fang didn't refuse as straightforwardly as before. She was in her fifties, just like Li He said, she really wasn't young anymore. "Sigh, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I've been working my whole life. Now, I'm a little afraid of entering the kitchen. I can't bend my back at all, and it takes a lot of effort to take a bath. I'm really not the same as before."
"Then let Qiu Liang make the arrangements tomorrow. Don't make things difficult for yourself." Li He continued with a smile, "Think about it. Qiu Liang and the others have already hired a nanny. If we still cook for ourselves, it'll be a joke."
"Then I'll listen to you. But after I find them, I have to check first. I can't bring any random person home." They were no longer an ordinary family. Privacy was always the first priority. She didn't want to bring an unreliable person into their home.
"Don't worry. Qiu Liang is very reliable."
"Then I'll talk to him tomorrow." He Fang smiled and nodded.
The next morning, Li He had just finished breakfast and was about to take a walk when he was told by Qiu Liang that a car had appeared on the surveillance camera. From the surveillance camera, it seemed to be Hong Danian from yesterday.
"Mr. Li, should we stop him? He's coming this way. "Qiu Liang asked softly.
"Let him come." Li He didn't expect this old man to be so serious.
Five or six minutes later, a black car stopped in front of Li He's house.
"Brother Li, have you had your breakfast?" Hong Danian got out of the car in a hurry. He didn't even have time to close the door. A middle-aged man got out of the driver's seat. After closing the door, he stood behind him.
"Yes. Why are you so early?" Li He was helpless.
This enthusiasm was a bit too much!
"We agreed yesterday. I'll take you to eat!" Hong Danian was very happy.
"Brother, there's really no need!" Li He smiled bitterly. This old man didn't even ask if he was willing and just came straight to his door.
"This is my son, Hong Zuli. I don't have much ability in this life, but my eldest son is still quite capable." Hong Danian pointed at the middle-aged man behind him and grinned. "Hurry up and greet Uncle Li."
"Hello, Uncle Li. I heard from my father that there's no need to thank me with words. It's just a meal. Please don't mind." Hong Zuli extended his hand.
"Sigh. It's been so many years. There's really no need to bring it up again." Li He shook his hand.
"Brother, give me some face." Hong Danian said emotionally. "You're the benefactor of my family! Without you, there wouldn't be a family! "
