"If you want to turn on the fan, just don't blow it at me. Blow it at my feet and don't blow it directly at my head." He Fang lit a mosquito coil and rummaged through the room. "If you have nothing to do tomorrow, clean it up again. It's a mess."
"Okay, buy some more furniture." Li He didn't turn on the electric fan. After hearing He Fang's words, he went to open the closet door. "It's over. The rats in here have left the nest."
The bottom of the closet was covered with sawdust. It was a thick layer that was obviously gnawed off by the rats.
Every time they came back, they lived on the second floor, but they didn't stay there for long. Without people, the rats and cockroaches became arrogant and wreaked havoc in the house.
Although Wang Yulan and her husband stayed at home all year round, Wang Yulan was old and it was hard for her to climb the stairs. If there was nothing important, she wouldn't come upstairs. At most, she would occasionally come up to wipe the dust and dry the quilt. As for Li Zhaokun, he never asked about anything.
Therefore, every time He Fang came back, the first thing she did was to clean her house.
He Fang asked, "If you plan to live here for a long time, you and your son should throw away the furniture and replace it with new ones. Use elm wood and don't paint it. I can't stand the smell."
"It's not a big deal. Tomorrow, throw away everything that needs to be thrown away." Li He replied with a smile.
The next morning, after breakfast, he pulled Liu Shan, Liu Jiawei, and the other children over and asked them to help carry the furniture. Other than the bed, the rest of the dresser and wardrobe were all thrown to the woodpile. They would be chopped up for firewood.
"Who won money last night?" Li He asked with a smile while holding the teapot.
"I won't play with Li Lan anymore. He's too calculative." Liu Shan drooped his head. They played cards until three o 'clock in the morning. Not only did they lose money, but they also had to carry the furniture for Li Lao' er with panda eyes early in the morning. They were seriously lacking sleep!
"If you agree to bet, you must accept your loss. I didn't even win much money from you. What are you feeling wronged for?" Li Lan handed him a towel and asked him to wipe the dust off his body.
"You won more than 10,000 yuan from me, and you call that not much money?" Liu Shan grabbed a handful of water from the faucet and casually washed his face. He took the towel from Li Lan and said, "All of us have lost more than 30,000 yuan to you!"
"Sigh, I won't play mahjong with you anymore," Liu Jiawei said with a sad face. His heart ached. He had lost more than ten thousand yuan last night. "I have to eat dirt this month."
"Come, thank you for your hard work." Li Lan brought the tea to them. "Have some tea."
"Taste it carefully. This is the Tea King," Pan Ying said with a smile. "Don't drink it like a cow drinking water."
"You make it sound like I've never drunk tea before." Liu Shan glanced at the dark green tea and did not think much of it. Of course, he knew that the Li family's tea was good, but he did not think that his father's tea was any better.
His father liked to drink tea, so the tea at home was not bad.
"This is Xinyang Maojian Middle School's Tea King. A small cup like yours is worth tens of thousands," Pan Ying said. "Your tea is the same as mine. How can I not know?"
"Tens of thousands?" Liu Jiawei's hand trembled as he held the cup. He had a "don't lie to me" expression on his face. He was not surprised that a bottle of red wine cost more than ten thousand, but a cup of tea cost more than ten thousand?
Then how much was a cup of tea worth?
"Probably a few hundred thousand." Liu Shan sniffed the cup. "The truth."
"Then for a year …" Liu Jiawei counted with his fingers.
"My Uncle Li's annual tea money is more than 20 million." Pan Ying laughed. She was happy to see them suffer.
She had heard this from her father by accident. At first, she thought it was nonsense. Who could bear to drink like that?
In the end, she had a stroke and went to Li Ke for confirmation. Li Ke naturally looked down on her for being ignorant.
She exclaimed that tea could be ridiculously expensive than coffee!
Li Ke immediately told her what Second Brother Li had said: Coffee is for the poor.
"Then I'll really try it." Liu Shan held the teacup and waited for the tea to warm up a little before taking a sip. He frowned for a while and then fell into deep thought. He did not react for a long time.
Li Ke smiled and asked, "Did you taste anything special?"
"I don't think there's much difference between the tea leaves at home." Liu Shan said honestly.
"I think so too. I can't taste good or bad." Liu Jiawei also hurriedly echoed. It turned out that he was not the only one who had no taste. He turned his head and asked Pan Ying, "Don't tell me you think it's good too?"
Li Ke smiled and said, "Don't ask. We're the same as you. No tea tastes the same."
"I'm about the same as you." Li Lan shrugged. His father had turned tea drinking into a metaphysics. He was also very helpless.
Pan Guangcai's car stopped in front of his house. He got out of the car but did not enter the house. He still walked over to greet Li He, who was feeding the ducks by the canal.
"You came back at the right time." Li He put the dustpan in his hand on the ground and said, "Let's go. You drive the tractor and accompany me to town to pick some furniture."
Pan Guangcai said, "Nowadays, people drive you. You don't have to pull the tractor yourself. You just have to pick it yourself."
"No, I don't want that kind of finished furniture. I'll go to Carpenter Jiang's house in town. He's still making furniture, right?" Li He asked.
"Your brother-in-law isn't back yet. Why don't you ask him to make a set for you?"
"He probably won't be back until the end of the month." Li He did not even see the shadow of his sister, Li Mei, let alone Yang Xuewen.
Pan Guangcai thought for a while and said, "Carpenter Jiang is still making furniture, but there's nothing special about it. The tables and chairs are all the same. There's no choice. Why don't I get someone to call him and send it over directly?"
"Then send it over directly." Since it was the same whether he chose or not, there was no need for Li He to go. "What about Sang Yongbo and his brother? Are they in the provincial capital? "
"No," Pan Guangcai said with a smile. "They were on the phone yesterday. Sang Yongbo is in Shenzhen, and Sang Yongyang is in Pujiang. Are you still talking about that Lu Bo thing?"
"I wasn't paying attention, and they're at each other's throats again. I heard that they even started a price war in Guangzhou. Sigh," Li He sighed and said, "Tell me, how am I supposed to mediate?"
The two families were originally at odds with each other, and he came forward to mediate once. However, it hadn't even been half a year, and they were still enemies again.
"If it's up to me, don't worry about it," Pan Guangcai said calmly. "Currently, the whole country's market is in the coastal areas. The market is only so big, and the supermarket competition is so fierce. If you take a step back, you'll have to take a second step back.
Sang Yongbo also told me last time that the supermarket chain is not a local operation. If both parties want to expand in the country, there's no way they can back down. "
