The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 7 The Old and Young Men of Lijiazhuang
Before the sun set, Li Weidong and Li Weimin returned to the village with big bags and saluted. Just after parking their bicycles, they saw the little girl running out of the house, followed by a little girl and an older sister who looked at the little girl.

"Big brother!"

"Weidong is back, wipe off your sweat!"

"Big sister, I'll do it myself, don't move around, let uncle see if you've grown taller?"

The little nephew was not afraid of strangers, he just stared at the gift bag in the little sister's hand with chattering eyes.

"Mom!" Li Weidong looked at his mother walking out of the door, his eyes were still wet and his voice was trembling. Fortunately, it was only a moment, and no one noticed it. Only the eldest sister who was more sensitive during pregnancy seemed to have discovered something!
"Where's our father?" Li Weidong asked after washing his face and wiping his sweat.

"My father and your brother-in-law are helping to build a set of desks and chairs at the home of the second fool in the north of the village. His son Li Qiang is going on a blind date. Are his eldest brother Li Lei and you classmates?"

Li Weihua tactfully asked something that my mother didn't ask just now. Li Weihua is 65 years old, and Li Weidong is 67 years old.

And whether he has a shadow now, although the Marriage Law stipulates that men get married at the age of 22, it is different in rural areas. They get married first, and then get a marriage certificate when they are 22 years old. Go, and later it was better because the fines increased.

Li Weidong naturally didn't answer. In his last life, Li Weidong was a cadre until he was 25 years old. He met and married the wife of the No. [-] National Cotton Factory in the city under the introduction of his colleagues. It's just that the efficiency of the National Cotton Factory was too poor shortly after marriage. No, the daughter went to kindergarten again, and the daughter-in-law had to work as an accountant for a private factory to subsidize the family. It was not until Li Weidong came out to do business that the family conditions improved.

"This cream is really fragrant, sister, smell it!"

Li Weihong took a cream and handed it to Li Weihua, but Li Weihua had something on his mind, so he said perfunctorily.

Without Li Weidong's instructions, Li Weihong sorted things out clearly, her own cream and a pen, shoes for her father, brother-in-law and second brother, a scarf and coat for her mother, a pair of small leather shoes and a hat for her eldest sister. Confinement must bring a warm hat.

Then there are gifts for grandparents, uncles and aunts, and even the children of the second uncle's family brought some small things suitable for the occasion.

Li Weidong walked towards his grandparents' house with two bottles of wine and two bags of soy milk powder. On the way, the young and old in the village called each other and handed him a red box of big chicken.

On weekdays, the village smokes dry tobacco, and there are not many cigarettes, but there are some like Feige that cost more than [-] cents a box without a filter. His red box chicken with a yellow filter is considered a rare commodity in the village.

Along the way, the two packs of cigarettes were not enough to loose. Fortunately, I prepared a lot, and there were more than 20 packs of chicken in the gift bag.

The first-line leader intentionally or unintentionally told about Li Weidong helping them earn a few extra yuan in bonuses. At this time, the workers were still very innocent, so they immediately suggested giving Li Weidong something. I bought three big chickens for Li Weidong, no matter what, who made him like to smoke.

Li Weidong spread out the two packs of cigarettes, let's run quickly, it's not that there are not enough cigarettes, the aunts and ladies in the village are about to start gossip.

"Weidong, have you brought your wife back?"

"Where is your wife from, when will you drink your wedding wine?"

You see, it is not only in the new century that there are three consecutive questions about marriage urging, but in any era. Li Weidong suddenly felt that it is not a good thing to be ostentatious in broad daylight, and one should keep a low profile.

"Grandpa, haven't you eaten yet?"

"Weidong is back. I heard Xiaohong say you're coming back this afternoon, and you're still thinking about when you can come back. You're back now!" As he spoke, he looked behind and found nothing, and his face became less happy.

Li Weidong understood what was going on at a glance!
"Grandma, I'm a cadre now. The state calls for late marriage and late childbearing. You can't get married if you're under 25!"

"Hmph, when will the country stop allowing you to marry a wife? In a few years, it's not certain whether your grandfather and I will live to the end?"

"Grandma is sure, I am still waiting for you to show me the child, you can live a long life!"

In the last life, the old couple really saw the birth of his child, but they gave birth to a daughter. It cannot be said that they were unhappy, but they were not that happy.

The older generation's thinking is more serious. As a cadre, they can only have one child. Naturally, the son is better. At least in the eyes of the old couple, the eldest son, grandson, great-great-grandson is the best. Although Weimin has already given birth to a son, the most hopeful thing is the eldest son. Can also give birth to a great-grandson.

"Okay, you can also participate in the country's affairs, hurry up and make two dishes, Weidong and I have a drink, you are working, you can drink!"

"If you drink, you will know how to drink. Sooner or later, you will die of drinking!"

The old man likes to drink, and he still made wine when he was young, but then there was not enough food to eat, so there is no food to make wine. In recent years, life has become better, and he will grow some sorghum every year to make wine for himself.

"Don't make milk. My father and my brother-in-law are coming back soon. Come to my place to have a drink tonight. Weimin and I bought some meat in the county. My mother is stewing it. It's just in time for us to go there!"

The old couple didn't refuse, since their eldest grandson came back, so they had to give some face.

The old couple lives in the north of the village, where there are the most old houses in the village. Slowly spreading to the south of the village, there are more and more new houses.

Li Weidong's home is in the middle of the village, but the two newly-planned homesteads are at the south end of the village. They belonged to the two brothers Li Weidong. In his previous life, Li Weimin's house would be built in two years, but his house has never been built. .

There are a lot of people enjoying the cool in summer. When they saw the two of them coming, there were a lot of people saying hello. Li Weidong also called uncles and brothers. When he walked to the door of the house, Li Weidong's second uncle Li Chengwu's family also came.

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt!"

"Weidong is back, you said you just started working, how can you have the spare money to buy those things for your second uncle, outside is no better than at home, everything costs money! Besides, you have to save money to marry a wife, look at Lei Son, the child is about to run away, you should hurry up and let your mother hold the grandson!"

Shen Yueying has never felt that her sister-in-law's words are so pleasant, and she even has a plan to laugh away the previous grievances.

The two sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law have been at odds with each other since they entered the door. They both felt that the old lady was eccentric. She worked for you today and didn't show me the children. I didn't expect that what I said today would reach Shen Yueying's heart.

The second aunt is naturally not a fool. Now that Li Weidong is working, if he is so generous, he can give away anything worth less than ten yuan. It must be promising. My two sons and one daughter, the eldest son is useless to go to school, and he didn't go to high school After finishing, I came back to work, and my daughter was willing to do it, but she was a girl after all, and the youngest son, who was fishing for shrimps every day, didn't seem like a material for studying.In the future, I have to count on Li Weidong to help!
