Wheat straws were burned everywhere, and it was very bright along the way. Li He's flashlight was useless.
The moon was reflected on the surface of the river. When the night wind blew, the ripples sparkled. The entire wide mouth of the river was like a moon mirror, like a long piece of pure white jade, like a ribbon studded with precious stones. He plunged into the river, and it was very comfortable.
After swimming back and forth, he was unwilling to move. He lay on his back in the river and stared at the sky blankly. The moon is the source of light in one's hometown. This saying can't be wrong. Even if you have no parents, you always want to have a home, so that you can feel that you are not a rootless duckweed.
Suddenly, there were a few big splashes on the river. He was frightened and hurriedly swam to the shore.
Although he didn't want to believe the story of water ghosts, maybe it was just a few big fish, he was the only one in this quiet world, and he didn't have the courage to do so.
Thinking of the row of graves on the slope next to him, it could already form a gloomy and terrifying scene.
When he thought of the graves, he looked at the graves. He didn't know if he didn't look, but when he looked, he was shocked.
There was a light flashing in the distance. He thought it was a phosphorescence, but it was not right. As a bookworm, he knew that the color and shape of phosphorescence were definitely not like this.
As a firm materialist, his firm belief was a rose that would never wither! He still picked up a lump of soil and threw it at the light. The light moved a little and began to flash again.
Li He didn't believe it, so he picked up another lump of soil and threw it over. The light moved a little and began to flash again.
Just as he was about to pick up the third lump of soil, a voice came from a distance, "Li Lao Er, I f * cking offended you by taking a dump and smoking!"
"Who?" Li He couldn't help but laugh. The accent was very familiar.
"It's me!" A big black shadow came out from behind the grave, and said while putting on his pants, "I saw you in the river when I came over, but I didn't say hello."
"Fatty Chen, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Li He looked carefully, and it turned out to be the pig killer, Chen Yongqiang.
Fatty Chen took out a cigarette and gave it to Li He. "I left something on the boat, so I came to get it."
He sucked the sand here all year round, and even changed two boats. He was a veritable rich man.
"No." Li He refused. "You haven't washed your hands."
Chen Yongqiang lit his own cigarette and asked, "Do you want to continue bathing? Do you want me to swim a few laps with you?"
"You wash yourself. I'm going home to sleep. I have to get up early to work tomorrow."
Li He went home unhurriedly.
When he got home, he washed his feet again, and went to bed.
His whole body was about to fall apart, and he could fall asleep just by leaning on the bed. He found that in He. necessary. He. to. He. He. He. He He. He was. He. He. He. He He He. He. He. He. He. He He He He. He He. He He. He He He He He. He. He He. He. He. He. He. He.
Otherwise, his self-righteous cleverness and sense of superiority would destroy him.
Li He had met some of the most talented youngsters in China and even the entire Soviet Union. He realized that they were indeed talented. But if he were to tell them about their experiences, he would feel that they were a bunch of miserable people.
However, these people had one thing in common. They knew exactly what they needed and were diligent pursuers.
In short, what Li Lan and Li Pei didn't know was that in order to create a life of pursuit for them, Second Brother Li had decided to let them live a "bitter" life. Of course, this kind of "bitter" state was relative to the super rich second generation.
Early in the morning, Grandma's face was cold and she was not happy at all. She said she wanted to call her three sons for a meeting.
Li He put his arm around her neck and said, "Grandmother, tell me what you want. Don't pout."
Grumpily, Old Grandma slapped his hand down and said with a smile, "I'm not a three-year-old child. Who's pouting? Go, go, go drink your porridge."
Li He knew that Old Grandma was tight-lipped and would not say anything. She would also not let the servants worry for her. Hence, after breakfast, he went to Li Zhaohui's house.
Ever since Li Zhaohui earned some money, he built six big tile-roofed houses on the old foundation. The layout was exactly the same as Li He's house. As for Li Fucheng and his wife, they did not stay with their youngest son.
It was probably because Third Aunt had been gossiping too much. Among the three sons, the eldest and second sons were wealthier than them. Why did they insist on living with their youngest son? Third Aunt grumbled that when Li Lei got married, they would not have enough houses to live in.
The old couple also had a backbone, especially the old grandmother. She couldn't stand it. With the money that Li He had given her over the years, they built three tile-roofed houses at the entrance of the village. They also had a chicken coop and a pig pen.
When Third Aunt saw Li He, she immediately put on a smile. "Erhe, come in and have a seat. There's a stool here. Have you cleaned up the mess at home? Your uncle said that he would help you clean up the mess this morning. "
"It's not a big deal. Let's take advantage of the sun for a few more days." Li He took Li Zhaohui's cigarette, moved the stool, and sat by the door.
Third Aunt greeted him and went outside. Li Zhaohui asked guiltily, "Is your grandmother at home?"
Li He smiled and nodded. He asked, "There's something wrong with this old lady early in the morning. Is there something wrong?"
Li Zhaohui said, "No one is to blame. Your grandmother is not to be trifled with, and your Third Aunt is not to be trifled with. Both of them quarreled in the morning."
"That's not a big deal." Li He did not mind. Mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were natural enemies since ancient times. They could not tell right from wrong. Even a person like his mother often did not see eye to eye with the old lady. Whenever such a situation occurred, Li He would turn a deaf ear to it and could not do anything about it.
Li Zhaohui sighed. "Your grandfather, your grandmother's land. Haven't we been doing this for so many years? This morning, they said that they wanted to take back the land. Your Third Aunt was naturally not happy about it. "
Li He was amused. He lit a cigarette and asked with a smile, "You're already so old. Why are you still farming?"
Before Li Zhaohui could say anything, Third Aunt came in from outside and said, "Erhe, you're an educated man, so you should understand. Ever since I got married and moved into Old Li's family, the two of them have been living and eating at our house for quite some time. Swallow is already 16! Before the land was distributed, what was the little bit of food that the brigade was given? How could we just eat food? Oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, which one of them didn't cost money? Did we say anything about it? We all understand your family's difficulties at that time. But look, now that the land has been distributed, this old lady just has to say things that hurt our hearts. Who is she trying to show? "
As she spoke, tears began to fall.
"Qi Chuanxiu, who are you trying to show your tears to? Who's hurting your heart! " "I don't know where Old Grandma came from.
"Grandmother, Grandmother, stop talking." Li He wanted to pull the old lady back. The atmosphere was too tense, and he couldn't control his anger.
"It's none of your business. Move aside. I'm going to argue with her today. If we listen to her like this, people will think that we're just idlers. We've been relying on Qi Chuanxiu to support us for so many years! " As she said that, the old lady pushed Li He to the side. She had a fiery temper. She yelled at Third Aunt, "You have to speak with your conscience, don't you think? How many work credits have you earned since you entered the family? How many work credits have you and your wife earned in total?
She turned to her son and scolded, "Third Brother, do you want to get Xitongcai here? Let's do a serious calculation. Let's see if you two earn more, or if your father and I earn more! You don't know this, but in order to earn more points, your father has to go down to the river to repair the sluice gates in the winter. He works day and night! Without me and your father to support the family, do you think you can support two children? "
Li Zhaohui's face turned red and white. He hurriedly said, "It's already so many years. Why are you still talking about this!"
Old Grandmother glared at him. "It's your wife. She wanted to argue with me with a red face, and now you're blaming me? Alright, let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about the present. Our land has been given to you, but I'm just as busy as your father. My hands and feet aren't nimble anymore. At most, I can only cook for you. But isn't your father still cutting wheat for you? Does he cut less wheat than you? “
"That's not what I meant. Why are you saying so much? "Li Zhaohui said to Li He again." Persuade your grandmother. You're already so old, but you're still so angry. " “
Third Aunt said, "Then we didn't stop you from helping our eldest and second sons." “
Old Grandmother waved her hand and said straightforwardly, "That's simple. Give us our land." “
Li Zhaohui said anxiously, "You can't farm anymore. What do you want the land for? “
Old Grandmother said, "If we don't farm, we'll starve to death. I've made it clear. The land will be given to whoever gives us food. “
"Grandmother, that's enough. Let's go." Li He finally understood what was going on. It turned out that it was just a matter of food. But he knew that Old Grandmother was exaggerating. All these years, he had given the old couple a lot of money. After careful calculation, he had given them at least a hundred thousand yuan.
She said that she wanted food, but it was probably because she wanted to get back at him.
Seeing that Li Zhaohui and his wife were silent, Old Grandmother walked away with her head held high like a general who had won a battle.
After leaving Li Zhaohui's house, Li He said with a smile, "Why do you have to care about such a small amount of food?" “
Old Grandmother rolled her eyes. "You're talking nonsense. I'll sew your mouth shut!" “
