Chapter 197 New Elephant
On the last day of 1990, the weather was sunny.
The class in the morning was not easy, and the students were very excited. They were just waiting for the morning to be "fooled" so that they could have fun in the afternoon.
The teachers were also tired. Although no one deliberately broke the classroom discipline, the "whispering" voice below continued, and they didn't bother to dig into it, as long as it didn't affect everyone. The physics teacher went even further and directly changed it to a self-study class.
Bring a chair and sit next to the podium. If you have any questions, come up and ask. There is no problem in studying by yourself, but no loud noises are allowed.
Yesterday was Sunday, and classes continued as usual. The rest was adjusted to January 2nd, which means there is a two-day holiday on New Year's Day. When school starts again, all subjects will be subject to general review one after another, on January 24th, 25th, and 26th.
There will be final exams and then winter break.
After finally "getting through" the morning, they went home for a quick meal at noon. Many students rushed back to school to clean up the classrooms and decorate the venue in advance.
The school attaches great importance to the New Year's Day party, because the New Year is during the winter vacation and there is no way to party.
In fact, the class party is just that, everyone sits around and has a good time. There is nothing to praise or criticize in the program. They are not professionals and have not received systematic training, so it is difficult to achieve unexpected results.
Not necessarily, Li Kai noticed that one program was quite good, the popular song "The Lost Love Front Alliance" sung by Ma Juan.
This is a new song this year. It seems to have been released in October. The singers are a three-person group. Because the three people's "surnames" all have the prefix "grass", the group's name is "Grasshopper".
Ma Juan sings beautifully and is very talented in music. In her previous life, when she was in the first year of junior high school, I heard her say that she would go to a music university in the future and become a singer or, at worst, a music teacher. She later disappeared.
The wish can only be a "dream".
After she returned to Ancheng, everyone went to "KTV" several times together. Ma Juan's singing was still as good as before. Her husband Huang Youcai, who she "acquired", also had a good voice. He had a deep and high-pitched voice that he had practiced singing "Xintianyou".
, with a hint of sadness, which is very "tickling".
I don’t know if Ma Juan still has the dream of being a singer in this life. Anyway, I haven’t heard her mention it since she came back.
As the squad leader, Li Kai of course had to perform a show. He pulled Chang Dalong to sing "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is", the theme song of the TV series "Journey to the West". Li Kai actually has many songs that will be popular in the future in his mind.
, many of them are popular in China. They were all trained under the guidance of Sister Nannan when he was in Fucheng, but he has almost never been exposed after his rebirth.
Because he has never thought about joining the entertainment industry, exposing this might bring him trouble.
We have two days off on New Year's Day. The family has agreed to go back to Banshantun on the 1st and go to Yao County on the 2nd. Both sides should have fun and enjoy the new year.
"Grandpa and grandma, we are here. Warmly welcome, boom seven boom seven boom boom seven." Li Kai carried two oil paper bags with two roast chickens inside. He stood at the gate of the old house, pulling his neck and shouting,
It also imitates the sound of gongs and drums.
After the "table overturning incident", every time Li Yan's family returned to their old house, it was noisy. The trunk of the car was full of things. When the car horn sounded, the neighbors would come out to "watch the scene", and then in
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, large and small bags were constantly being transported to the old house. The neighbors pointed and whispered, with a look of envy on their faces.
"Come on, come on, brat, what are you saying? Half the village knows you're back." Mrs. Li hurriedly came out. Although she was complaining, her face was full of joy.
I don’t remember when Li Yan’s family came to the old house. Mrs. Li would no longer “nest” on the kang, but would even come out to greet her, just like today.
"It's from the fourth family," Mrs. Li passed Li Kai and took Liu Fengzhi's hand directly to go inside, "The quilt you brought me is so warm that it makes your father jealous, hahahaha.
"
The last time I came here, Liu Fengzhi brought Mrs. Li a "duvet". It was light and fluffy. Li Zhenjiang also suspected that it was not warm, so he said it was just for sleeping. After trying it, Mrs. Li sweated all night and felt sleepy.
It's enough to just cover this bed.
"Grandma? Grandma?" Li Kai screamed twice in embarrassment and shook the two paper bags in his hand.
"I know, it's food again, throw it in the kitchen." Mrs. Li looked back, said something disgusting, and pulled Liu Fengzhi into the east room.
"Giggle, giggle," Mao Xiaoling walked over with a smile and took the paper bag from Li Kai's hand, "I'm disgusted. The old lady has bad teeth now. She can only look at many things but not eat them. You always bring food.
Can you not be angry?"
Mao Xiaoling has already shown her pregnancy, and her body is now more than five months old. In addition, she wears a lot of clothes in winter, which makes her look even more bloated.
"Where's the fifth brother?" Li Kai asked. After his wife became pregnant, Li Dao took Mao Xiaoling with him wherever he went. Pregnant women in rural areas are not so particular. As long as it is not heavy physical work, they can stay busy until delivery.
"I'm going to deal with the coal ash. The boiler consumes coal during this period and needs to be dealt with every three or four days."
Li Cao and Li Yu now take turns taking care of the boiler of the old house. Li Yan sent a lot of coal to this place this year. If it is burned with the mouth open, there will naturally be more coal and ash.
"What are you doing stupidly? Go out and move things, you will be lazy." Li Yan and Chang Dalong came in later, one carrying a bag of rice, the other carrying a barrel of oil. Comparing the two oil paper bags just now,
Li Kai is indeed lazy.
Old Mrs. Li is not as "instigative" as she used to be. Her daughters-in-law and granddaughter-in-law take turns coming to the old house to cook. After cooking, they all come to the table to have a bite with them. Sometimes when the good things are rich, she will let others
Take some away.
The supplies are absolutely abundant. Li Yan's family will bring a lot of them every time they come, and the third and fourth elders will replenish them from time to time. Moreover, Li Yao doesn't come to the house to "beat the autumn wind" easily.
"No need for Xiao Qi'er, let's do it." Li Yue carried a plate of hairtail and followed in, followed by Er Niang and Fourth Sister-in-law.
As soon as the car horn sounded, the Li Sen family heard it. After all, the two families were very close to each other, and there were only a handful of cars in the village. It didn't take a guess to know that the fourth family was here again.
The second mother has some "ghosts" in her heart, so she sticks close to the old house now, for fear of being disliked by the fourth family. But it's okay, it's close to the water and the terrace, there are more people coming here, and there are many benefits, Mrs. Li
They benefited a lot from the remaining supplies.
"No, Sister-in-law Four is pregnant. She can't be tired." Li Kai quickly ran over and grabbed the bag from Sister-in-law Four's hand.
There is no confidentiality in the village. After a while, the aunt came with her second daughter-in-law. The two sons and the eldest daughter-in-law had things to do in the village and would not come back until noon.
Now whenever the Li Yan family comes back, the other families will come together, as if it is a non-New Year's party. Mrs. Li also feels more and more the warmth of the "big family". In the past, she was just "distributing work".
Whoever is arranged will come over to cook and wash clothes. Nowadays, people come to the old house to greet them every day. Sometimes they come to cook and bring their own rare meat and vegetables. They are not at all as unsympathetic as before.
An unwilling look.
When the shift was scheduled, whoever's turn came over, they would make whatever they had in the old house, then wave their arms and leave. Mrs. Li didn't want to keep them to eat, and they didn't even care about eating. The two of them ate.
There is no one to clean up the dishes after the meal is finished, the next shift worker comes over to clean them up while cooking.
This is what Mrs. Li has recently realized. It turns out that sincere filial piety cannot be obtained by intimidation or intimidation. It has to be done attentively.
So Mrs. Li no longer stingy with her external possessions. She was already rich anyway, and she would just throw it away to whomever she liked or who worked hard. As a result, these people came more diligently and paid more attention to the affairs of the two of them.
More things were sent over.
"It's from Xiao Si'er's house, it's from Xiao Wu'er's house, you two take these two bags. You're pregnant. What do you want...what do you want, from Fourth's house?"
"Mom, we need to increase nutrition so that the child born will be healthy." Liu Fengzhi, who was sitting next to Mrs. Li, quickly took over.
"Yes, nutrition, health. These are all brought by your fourth aunt, so remember them carefully." Mrs. Li pushed the two packages on the kang outward.
Li Kai trembled all over. This person has changed so much that sometimes it is hard for people to accept it.
"Thank you grandma, thank you fourth aunt." Li Yue's daughter-in-law and Li Suo's daughter-in-law each picked up a bag and thanked them in unison.
Both bags contained the same things, one bag of milk powder, one bag of malted milk, one bag of orange powder and one bag of cake.
"Grandson, I have to work hard for you again at noon. There are a lot of people today."
Li Zhenjiang kept sitting on the chair and watching happily, especially when he saw the old lady excitedly "oooo scumbag", he was also very happy.
It seems that I really chose the wrong "direction" before. It's a new era, and I can no longer handle family affairs the way I did in my old life.
