After Li Zhuang divided the responsibility fields, everyone began to set up temporary wheat fields in their own responsibility fields. However, the original collective wheat field in the village did not lose its cool function. As long as it was summer, it would still be full of people.
There were many people enjoying the cool in the wheat field. There were four or five people in each family. Some were sitting, some were lying, and some were waving their palm-leaf fans. In the quiet night, the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs seemed to be close at hand. The people enjoying the cool could tell whether it was their own family or not.
Most of the people still had mud and straw huts. The beams of the houses were very low, and it was even more stuffy in summer. Li Zhaokun's, Liu Dazhuang's, and Li Hui's big tile-roofed houses were rare. Those with a better family could at most hang a ceiling fan on the roof, but it could not get rid of the stuffiness.
The village already had electricity, but things like televisions were still a bit far away. Only a few people had them, so it was even more stuffy and boring. Instead of staying in the stuffy house and unable to sleep, it was better to enjoy the cool in the wheat field.
The wheat field was also not very cool, but here, the sky was high and the night sky was vast. The stars were shining brightly, and the moonlight was beautiful. The children were the happiest. They would gather on the wheat field and run around excitedly. It would be a pity not to play hide and seek in such a good night.
The men could gather together to smoke and brag, talk about the harvest of the year, and plan the next year's farm work. The women could gather together and gossip endlessly. Wang Yulan belonged to this group.
She had been a woman for many years. If the heavens didn't talk, she would feel uncomfortable. Now that she had a lot of money on hand, she was usually willing to help people in emergencies. Three yuan for this, five yuan for that, she gained a lot of popularity.
Li Zhaokun himself sighed. This old woman was not the old woman in the past. He couldn't rub her anymore. At home, he could only live with his tail between his legs.
But on the contrary, his face was a lot more plump. A lazy man like him did not go to the fields, nor did he have any leisure time. Occasionally, he would take care of his grandson during the busy season. How tired could he be?
Every night after dinner, he and Wang Yulan would carry the mats to the wheat field. But tonight, Wang Yulan didn't come, so he didn't carry the mats. He just squeezed in wherever he could.
When he arrived, Xi Tongcai moved a seat for him and said, "Sit here."
Li Zhaokun patted his stomach and said, "I'm not sitting. I'm full, so I want to stretch my stomach. My goodness, that crab weighed one catty, and I killed four of them. "
It was the first time for him to eat this kind of big crab that Four brought back. It tasted good, so he ate it without any scruples.
Li Hui's father thought that he was bragging and ridiculed him, "Are you trying to fool me because I've never seen the world? Half a catty? Why don't you say it's as big as your face? "
The people around also laughed. But they are also happy to hear something new. They are tired of hearing Li Zhaokun sitting in the County Party Secretary's car. It is great that Li Zhaokun can innovate.
"You don't believe me? That's grown in the sea, and it's huge. I bet you haven't seen it before. " Li Zhaokun didn't panic this time. He had evidence. There were still two unfinished big crabs in the bucket at home!
He must let this bunch of country bumpkins see it!
Bragging is not for show!
Huaihe River is not made of urine!
Would Li Zhaokun dare to make up nonsense if he didn't have some real ability?
Da Zhuang's father also said, "I've heard you talk nonsense every day."
"You should be more reliable with your words." Someone agreed.
Of course, everyone didn't believe him!
The more they didn't believe him, the more pleased Li Zhaokun was. He called out to his eldest grandson, Li Pei, and said, "Go and get your aunt to bring our crab over."
Li Pei was having fun and wasn't very happy. He hesitated, but Li Ke reacted quickly and ran home. She had always been Li Zhaokun's capable follower. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Li Zhaokun naturally favored her a little more. His daughter wasn't considerate, his son wasn't considerate, and his grandson wasn't considerate either. However, he had a considerate granddaughter, and that was enough to make him proud.
Li Zhaokun, who never accommodated others, only accommodated this little granddaughter.
She learned to speak very well. When she got home, she kept saying that grandpa wanted to see big crabs. Four understood what was going on.
She had wanted to take a bath and go to bed, but it seemed like she couldn't sleep anymore. She could only take the big crab in the bucket to show off to her father.
Li Zhaokun went up to Four from a distance and snatched the bucket from him. He chuckled and said, "Come and see, come and see if I lied to you."
Afraid that everyone couldn't see clearly, he even poured the big crab out of the bucket.
The nosy people had come to watch the show, but when they saw such a big crab, they were all shocked. Usually, the hairy crabs in the river were not bad at all.
Li Zhaokun had an expression that said, "I didn't lie to you!"
After Four greeted the people around her, the aunts and wives all praised her for looking more and more decent.
However, she didn't care about the compliments. She only looked at her father and expressed helplessness. She had never felt a father's love and didn't know what a father's love was. She had been dissatisfied with her father for a long time.
In the past, she hated her father's boastful personality. Not only that, her father especially loved to listen to flattery. He was tricked by others, but he still continued to jump into the trap. She had once suspected that her father had a problem with his intelligence.
She had seen her mother's hard work and swore that she wouldn't take care of Li Zhaokun when he was old.
However, now that her father had become an old man who lived by bragging about his children, she felt a little sad.
Perhaps her father was really old.
As she thought about it, she felt a little stifled in her heart. She silently sighed in her heart. Her father still needed her to take care of him when he was old. She still needed to do what her children should do.
Li Aijun begged Shen Daoru to help Gong Min get a Hong Kong identity card.
Shen Daoru asked, "Is your relationship settled?"
"What relationship?"
"Sigh. What are you after? "Shen Daoru was a little puzzled and said," It's not difficult. I'll get it for you. Just give me the information. "
Li Aijun said gratefully, "Thank you. I just want her to live a better life than me. I'll be satisfied with that. "
Li He patted Li Aijun's shoulder and said, "A man should be a man. What's there to be afraid of when a pretty girl pursues bravely? "
Li Aijun lowered his head and said, "But my legs. I can't hold her up. "
Li He couldn't help him with this kind of thing, so he could only rely on himself.
Yu Dehua came back looking dispirited. His chubby body had lost at least a few kilograms of flesh. His eyes were swollen and his cheeks were sunken. The one who felt the most heartache was definitely Old Madam Yu. No matter how old her son was, he was still her son, her biological son.
She first instructed the nanny in Li He's house to take care of He Fang before hurrying home to stew tonics for her son.
