To get to No.1 Middle School, he had to go through the city center. It was so crowded that Li He had no choice but to leave his bike by the roadside and come back to pick it up later.
He stopped a taxi and arrived at the school in ten minutes.
The people in the security office were probably new, so Li He didn't know them. They didn't know Li He either, but they didn't stop him. It was normal for people to visit relatives during the New Year.
He arrived at Old Madam Jin's house, and the woman who opened the door surprised him.
"Erhe Li?" The woman greeted him first.
"You are?" Li He wanted to break his brain. He definitely remembered this tall and elegant woman!
But he couldn't remember her name!
"You can't remember?" The woman reminded him. "The one who sat in front of you."
"Oh …" Li He was stunned for a long time. He knew who it was. That person had given him a biscuit before, so he was grateful for that biscuit. However, he could not remember the person's name no matter what.
"Ye Zhi." The woman said angrily, "Do you remember?"
"I'm really sorry." Li He was a little embarrassed.
"Erhe is here?" Old Madam Jin's ears were very sharp.
"Hello, Madam Jin." Li He went into the house to greet the old lady.
Old Madam Jin smiled and said, "Ye Zhi and I were just talking about you. You come around this time every year, so I guessed you would come. Coincidentally, you are here."
"Yeah, we were just talking about you." Ye Zhi smiled and served a cup of tea to Li He.
"Thank you. Don't treat me like a guest. I come here very often." Li He smiled and took the cup.
"It's nothing." Ye Zhi didn't mind.
"Madam Jin, didn't you say you were looking for an auntie?" Li He looked around the house and didn't see anyone else.
Madam Jin smiled and said, "Who wouldn't be at home during the New Year? I think I'll be back in a few days."
Li He nodded. "That's good."
Teacher Jin added, "You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine. Not only does Yezhi occasionally come to help me, even your brother often comes to give me oil and rice. It makes me feel embarrassed."
Li He replied, "It's only right."
He stayed at Professor Jin's house for a while. From the electrical circuit to the waterway, this kind of old-fashioned dormitory was generally in disrepair. There were no major problems, but there were many minor ones.
"You're quite capable." Ye Zhi smiled as she handed over the wrench.
"Not bad." Li He wrapped the waterproof tape and turned the faucet again. The water flowed down, and there was no longer any water dripping.
After he was done, he said goodbye to Mr. Jin. Ye Zhi also left with him.
Li He walked in front. After going downstairs, he wanted to go back and talk to Yeats, but he didn't expect that Yeats was turning the tricycle around.
"Let me help you." Li He wanted to help.
"No need. It's just a small matter." Yeats insisted on turning the tricycle around. She pouted at the tricycle, "Get in. Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
"En." Li He sat on the edge of the tricycle. The tricycle was filled with women's and men's bags and wallets.
"Where are you going? You haven't told me yet." Yeats turned around and asked after they got out of the school.
"Where are you going?"
"It's not like you didn't see it. There are so many goods in the tricycle. I have to set up a stall."
"I remember you were working at some oil factory, right?"
Yeats shrugged helplessly. "There are still a few oil factories that are still working. They're all so dry that they can't even pay their salaries."
"Then I'll go with you?"
"Didn't you go to the party today?" Yeats changed the topic again.
Li He nodded. "I came back after eating and drinking."
"Oh." Yeats kept pedaling and didn't say anything else.
After they arrived, she started to set up her stall skillfully. Because this place was close to the entrance of the market, there were a lot of people and stalls.
"Big discount! Last three days! Losing money on the last three days! "
After she turned on the loudspeaker, she chatted with Li He.
"I heard from Teacher Jin that you're doing well."
"Eating and drinking is not a problem. That's all." Li He smiled. "How about you?"
"Of course." Yeats adjusted the position of the wallet on her waist and smiled. "Look at me. Do I look good?"
"Can't your family help you a little?" Li He remembered that her family was the best when it came to family planning.
Yeats smiled. "My parents are retired. They only have a little retirement salary, and they still have to worry about my brother's two kids. I don't want my sister-in-law to nag me every day just for money. It's okay. I'm just one person. I can eat my fill. "
"You're not married?" Li He was surprised.
"I'm dead." Yeats said casually. "I didn't gamble for three days in a row. I got a big card and went to drink happily. My stomach perforated. There's no cure."
"If there's anything you need help with, just tell me." Li He didn't know if he should comfort her or be happy for her. After all, having a gambling addict as a husband was not a good thing.
"Okay, I have it now." Yeats replied casually.
"Say it. I'll do it."
Yeats handed him the loudspeaker. "Change this advertising slogan. I'm sick of hearing it myself, not to mention the customers."
Ye Zhi was a little listless as she had just made a deal.
"No problem." Li He picked up Yeats' small Walkman and studied how to record. "Give me a minute."
He found a secluded place and roared into the Walkman a few times. The quality of the cassette and Walkman was too poor. No matter how hard he tried to record it, there was static. He had no choice but to record it in the best condition with an attitude of striving for perfection.
When he passed it to Yeats, she laughed at him. "It's just recording. You're taking so long."
But when he turned on the loudspeaker and heard the lines, she was so shocked that her jaw dropped.
"… The biggest tannery has closed down! The bastard boss, Jiang Biehe, owes 350 million for eating, drinking, and gambling. He ran away with his sister-in-law! We have no choice but to use our wallets to pay for our wages! "
"The wallets that were originally worth more than a hundred, two, or three hundred yuan are all twenty yuan! All twenty yuan!! Huang He bastard! You're not human! We worked hard for you for half a year, but you didn't pay us! Give me back my hard-earned money! Give me back my hard-earned money! "
The voice in the loudspeaker was getting louder and louder, as if it was really crying blood and complaining!
Before she could ask Li He what was going on, the people around her were attracted by the shocking advertising slogan. Some asked for the price, and some took out their money. This was the best day of business he had ever had since he opened his stall.
She didn't have time to care about Li He.
When she finally remembered Li He, Li He was nowhere to be found.
A child dressed in thick clothes held the door frame with one hand and threw the bamboo pole on the ground with the other. The old yellow dog was so scared that it was two feet away from him.
"Oh my, he's already so big."
Li He watched from afar. In the end, he gritted his teeth and bought a bunch of oranges and apples from the fruit stall next door.
"Here, want to eat this?" Li He walked up and handed an apple to the milk baby.
The milk baby saw him but ignored him and continued to play with his bamboo pole.
"Second brother, you're back." It was the younger brother who came out to greet him.
"Hey, this kid is already so big." Li He smiled uncomfortably.
The younger brother said, "Brother, let's go inside."
"You guys didn't go back for the New Year this year?"
After returning to the village, Li He started to look for them. However, he only saw He Laoxi twice and didn't see anyone else.
The younger brother said, "My sister is very busy. She'll go back after planting in the spring."
"Auntie, you're busy." Li He saw Zhao Chunfang walking over with a dustpan in her arms.
"Erhe, come in, come in." Zhao Chunfang was very enthusiastic towards Li He. "Your uncle will be back soon. Don't leave tonight. Drink a cup of wine before you leave."
"We'll talk about it when uncle comes back. I was at my third brother's place. You guys aren't far, so I came over to take a look." Li He's gaze never left the milk baby.
The milk baby was pushed to the ground by an eight or nine-year-old boy. Li He was heartbroken. If he didn't have scruples, he would have beaten the boy up!
Zhao Chunfang's youngest son was already nine years old. Who else could it be other than this brat!
As expected, the younger brother lectured the brat. "You're his uncle. You can't give in to him!"
Zhao Chunfang pouted. "They're all kids. No one is to blame."
Before anyone could help him up, the little boy got up on his own again.
Without any warning, he threw the bamboo pole in his hand at the boy.
The boy was stunned for a moment before he burst into tears.
