Knowing that Li He was going to the county, Yang Xuewen drove the tractor over early in the morning. He arrived very early. Only Wang Yulan and He Fang had just woken up and were busy brushing their teeth and washing their faces.
Li He heard the sound of the tractor and hurriedly got up. He had promised to bring He Fang to buy some clothes today.
He was going to drive the tractor to the county.
Driving a tractor was naturally not as fast as taking a car, but driving the tractor to the county was convenient for him. It was not far from the Spring Festival, and it was time to prepare for the New Year's goods. Although there was a hand-guided tractor, there was a faster four-wheeled tractor. Li He did not think much of Li Long's hand-guided tractor.
Li Mei was also sitting in the tractor. Her new daughter-in-law was going to the county to buy some clothes. As the eldest sister, how could she not go?
Li Long had also arrived early. He wanted to drive a four-wheeled tractor, so he naturally had to go to the county. Li Zhaokun had just received ten thousand yuan from his son. His pocket was hard, so he definitely had to go as well. It was not his style to wear luxurious clothes at night. No matter what, it could not stop him from showing off. Wang Yulan treated this as a wedding gift for her new daughter-in-law. She had to go take a look at the jewelry and clothes, so she had no choice but to go.
Duan Mei did not want to go at first, but her family had all left. What was the point of staying at home? She simply waited for Li Pei to go to school before wrapping Li Ke up like a dumpling and carrying him in her arms.
Li He looked at the car full of people and really wanted to cry. They were really just there to buy clothes!
He Fang also did not know whether to laugh or cry.
She sat on a small chair that was specially placed in the car. Her body was wrapped tightly in a scarf that Wang Yulan had used.
Wang Yulan also said, "You have to drive fast. The wind is biting your face. Cover yourself more, and you won't feel cold."
The cold air was already heading south, and the weather was getting colder.
Duan Mei could only watch coldly from the side.
As soon as the tractor left the village entrance, a few people who wanted to follow the tractor to the commune market got on it. More and more people hitched a ride on the tractor. When they arrived at the commune, a lot of people got off the bus. It was not easy for the bus to be less crowded, but on the way to the county, there were still a lot of people getting on the bus.
When they were about to arrive at the county town, Li Long parked the car in front of his waste station. Then, they got off together.
Li He said, "Let's have breakfast first. There should be beef soup and buns."
They all woke up early in the morning and rushed over, so they didn't have breakfast.
Wang Yulan was hesitant to agree at first. She would just wait until noon. She wouldn't die if she skipped a meal. Why would she waste the money? However, she remembered that her new daughter-in-law hadn't married yet. She couldn't be too stingy, so she reluctantly agreed.
When they entered a breakfast shop, there weren't many people around. Li He asked the boss to prepare a bowl of porridge for everyone and a big meat bun. Everyone was probably hungry, so they ate without hesitation. Even Li Ke, the little girl, ate three big meat buns.
When it was time to pay the bill, Li Zhaokun and Yang Xuewen, the father-son-in-law, fought to pay the bill. No one gave way. Li He smiled and pulled Yang Xuewen away. Only then did Li Zhaokun get the chance to take out a dozen hundred-yuan bills from his pocket under the watchful eyes of the crowd. After carefully counting them, he took out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it to the shop owner.
The boss said, "I just opened, so I don't have change yet."
These people had only eaten three yuan in total. How was he supposed to get change?
Li Zhaokun said disdainfully, "You can't even give me change. What kind of business are you doing?"
The boss was put in a difficult position. "Why don't you wait a bit? My house is at the back. I'll just take it down. " Usually, a dozen yuan was enough for a small business. Who would have thought that there would be a hundred-yuan bill?
"Who has time to wait for you?" Li Zhaokun kept the money.
"Here you go, boss." After Li Zhaokun finished his performance, Li He then handed five yuan to the boss.
Only then did the shop owner accept it happily, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
Li He took the change and turned to look at Wang Yulan and Li Zhaokun's unfriendly expression. It seemed that these two would have a fight when they got home. It was his father's fault. He could have shown off anywhere, but he had to show off in front of his mother.
After leaving the restaurant, Yang Xuewen and Li Long first went to buy seeds and pesticides. Li Zhaokun also strolled behind them. Duan Mei carried the child and naturally followed her sister-in-law and mother-in-law to the department store. She wanted to see if her mother-in-law could be fair.
As for Li He, he didn't want to go anywhere. There were so many people buying clothes, so there was no need for him to follow. He took Li Ke from Duan Mei's hands and gestured for the women to go in to buy. He waited at the entrance of the department store with the child.
Li Ke wasn't happy. Once she entered the city, her eyes wouldn't be big enough. She was young and full of schemes. She definitely wouldn't stay in Li He's arms.
Li He said, "Don't ask for a beating."
Li Ke smacked his lips and looked pitifully at Li He, preparing to release the flood.
"Okay, okay, come down." Li He put her on the ground. Why was this girl's personality the same as Five's! He could only mourn for Li Long and his wife a few more times. With such a troublesome person in the family, things would definitely not be easy in the future.
One small clue revealed the general trend.
"Ah, I want some too." She didn't even blink as she looked at the tanghulu on the roadside.
"Uncle has no money. Come back and wait for your dad to buy it for you. "
However, Li Ke didn't care and ran towards the tanghulu stall. Li He jumped in fright and hurriedly chased after her. He pulled her back and said, "I'll buy it for you."
She took the tanghulu. She wasn't afraid that it would sour or stick to her teeth. She held it in her hand and ate one at a time.
"Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious. If only I didn't put in the seeds." It was very difficult to spit out the hawthorn seeds. This was the only thing that made her unhappy about the tanghulu.
"Yes."
Li He didn't understand the world of children. He sat on the steps and smoked.
"Smoking is so annoying."
"Yes."
"Uncle, it's white." She was a little curious about the white hair on Li He's head.
"I'm just worried about you. Be obedient in the future, okay?" Li He tried to reason with her.
She finished the last hawthorn and said seriously, "Grandpa has the most white hair on his head. You're the most disobedient."
Li He realized that he was wrong again. Very wrong. This girl was definitely different from Five!
Comparing Five to this girl was definitely an injustice to Five!
This girl would definitely be harder to deal with than Five in the future!
That gentle and obedient eldest niece was gone. Suddenly, such a domineering little girl came. It suddenly made him feel a little strange. He could only apologize to his eldest niece in his heart.
While Li He was sighing to himself, it was a different scene in the department store. The few women were arguing about who should pay the bill. Originally, He Fang wanted to pay for the clothes, but Wang Yulan was determined to refuse. No matter how stingy she was, she wouldn't do such a thing that would cause people to criticize her. It didn't make sense to bring her new daughter-in-law out and let her pay.
He Fang was held back by Li Mei and Duan Mei. She couldn't use her strength and could only watch as Wang Yulan paid.
She didn't feel good in her heart. She didn't want to owe someone for no reason.
After buying a set of clothes, Wang Yulan wanted to buy a ring for her. She hurriedly refused, "Erhe bought it for me, but I didn't bring it with me."
She blushed a little as she said such a white lie.
Wang Yulan and Li Mei then let it go.
However, Duan Mei, who had been standing at the side, felt indignant. When she entered the door, she only had two sets of clothes and nothing else!
Wasn't this bias a little too much?!
No matter how good-tempered she was, she couldn't stand this kind of grievance. She gave her eldest brother-in-law face and didn't flare up on the spot. After all, her eldest brother-in-law treated them well. He had just given them ten thousand yuan yesterday. If she were to embarrass her eldest brother-in-law in front of his new daughter-in-law, she would be too cruel and unscrupulous!
She was only angry at Wang Yulan for being so blatant in her favoritism!
When she returned that night, she said to Li Long, "I definitely won't take care of her when she's old. Eldest daughter-in-law is closer, so let her live with eldest daughter-in-law! I won't take care of her anymore! "
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!
Li Long also knew that his mother had gone overboard, but he couldn't say bad things about her. He only muttered, "Our family wasn't well off during those few years. Look at how old the two children are. Isn't it meaningless to be calculative about this?"
Duan Mei gritted her teeth and said, "I know that our family wasn't well off, but she treated eldest daughter-in-law well, so she should have done it behind my back. Eldest daughter-in-law is a treasure, while youngest daughter-in-law is grass, right? “
Li Long tried to comfort her, but it was useless. He was also angry that his wife didn't know any better, and the couple broke out in the biggest family war in history.
