Hello, I'm He Yuzhu

Chapter 500 Planning for the Family

Li Haijun opened the toffee and handed it to the production team leader.

"Captain, give everyone points."

Production Captain: "Navy, everyone has taken care of you, don't buy these fancy things next time you come back."

"A catty of sugar is so expensive, it's too wasteful."

"Ha, just buy this thing and try to make it fresh. It's not easy to get a catty of sugar tickets. Next time you want to buy a sugar ticket, there will be no sugar tickets."

Father Li's eyes revealed satisfaction and pride.

His son was really different after he went to the city. He handled affairs generously, was thoughtful, and even handled interpersonal relationships.

In the past, Li Haijun was quite stubborn in the village.

The villagers were reluctant to eat the toffee after sharing it, so they put it in their pockets and went back to give it to the children.

The children divided the toffee and stuffed it into their mouths one by one, and ran away to play with their mouths smacking.

Under the setting sun, there was laughter and laughter.

The chimneys of every household are rising with smoke. Looking from a distance, you will see a landscape like a landscape painting.

Li Jinxin set up a dining table on the kang, Li Haijun served the dishes, and the family's dinner was about to begin.

"Dad, this is a special Moutai wine, try it."

Father Li wanted to blame his son for being too wasteful, but he thought that his son was filial to him, so he didn't educate him.

Now that he has grown up and works in the city, he is a decent worker's big brother, and he can no longer criticize him like before.

"Okay, with my son's light, I'll also have a taste of the special wine."

Li Haijun dismantled the big front door and used a match to light it for Father Li.

"Jun, I know your filial piety, so far, don't spend money like this in the future, it hurts me to see it."

"You're saving money to beg your wife."

"The [-] cents a pack Daqianmen, even the secretary of the commune can't afford to smoke, and the production team leader only smokes [-] cents economic cigarettes!"

Li Haijun didn't want his family to worry.

"Dad, it's okay. I'm currently earning 22 yuan a month, and my salary will increase in the future. Our family doesn't have to live as hard as before."

Father Li's eyes were full of relief. He even took out the coffin and sold the homestead. Why?It is not for the good future of the children.

Staying in the country with his back to the loess and his face to the sky, he sweated eight petals, and it was only [-] cents a day. His son is now a first-class worker in the city, and one month is worth four months of exhausting work in the country.

Father Li: "Why did you come back suddenly?"

Li Jinxin: "Brother, how many days are you staying at home this time?"

Li Haijun: "The factory cooperates with the Nantai Commune next door. Their company needs to repair water conservancy, and we are here to help them repair agricultural machinery."

"Just stay at home for one night, and tomorrow I have to go to Nantai Commune."

Li Jinxin hadn't seen his brother for a long time, and when he heard that his brother was staying at home for one night, he immediately felt that the meat in his mouth was not tasty.

"Brother, you can go home and stay at night."

Father Li's face darkened: "Nonsense, collective action, how can your brother run home alone? Is there any organization and discipline?"

Li Jinxin was scolded, and helplessly stuck the pork in the bowl with his chopsticks, venting his anger.

Li Haijun suggested: "Dad, let me tell you, you and my little sister will go to the city with me to enjoy happiness."

Li Jinxin's eyes lit up: "Dad, let's go to the city according to my brother's orders."

Father Li: "I'm not going to the city, why should I go to the city?"

"In the countryside, I can farm the land to earn work points. In the city, I don't know anything. It's better to be comfortable in the countryside and avoid trouble for you."

"Your sister has good academic performance, and she is a seedling of studying. If you have the ability, take her to the city to study."

Father Li took a long sip of wine and let out a sigh of relief: "It also prevents her from becoming a country woman in the future. She is educated and can stay in the city like you in the future."

Li Haijun rubbed his sister's hair: "Want to go to the city to study?"

Li Jinxin nodded, looked at Father Li and shook his head again.

"I won't go. When I go, my father will be left alone."

Li Haijun pondered for a while.

"Sister, I will arrange for you to study in the city first when I go back."

Then he looked at Father Li: "Then I'll clear up the relationship and find a temporary job for our dad in the factory."

"Temporary workers also have a monthly salary of 18 yuan, which is better than staying in the countryside."

Father Li's heart is moved, who wants to stay in the country if he can go to the city?
It's just that he doesn't want to trouble his children.

"Navy, can this be done?"

Li Haijun patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, this will definitely happen."

Li Haijun is naturally confident in saying this.

Father Li: "Your sister and I have both gone to the city, where do we live? What about our house and yard?"

Li Haijun touched his chin habitually: "The factory will arrange a dormitory, and I live in the single dormitory arranged by the factory now."

"Although it is not as spacious as our house, more than [-] square meters is enough, mainly because it can use electricity."

Nanping Commune is poor, and there is no electricity yet, and the kerosene lamps are still a bit suffocating.

Hearing that electric lights could be used, not only Li's father was moved, but Li Jinxin wished he could go to the city immediately.

"As for our house, if you want to sell it, you can sell it, if you don't want it, you can lock it up, kill all the poultry and eat meat, and give the private land to the villagers for planting. When the autumn harvest comes, we can give our family some vegetables."

Father Li: "The house can't be sold, and the house in the country is not worth a lot of money. Let's keep it. This is our root."

Father Li is looking forward to going to the city to eat commercial food. He hopes that not only will he not be a burden to his children, he will still have a salary, and he will be able to save a dowry for his daughter when the time comes.

Li Haijun had a warm dinner with his family.

After the meal, Li Jinxin held his stomach: "Oh, I'm too full."

"Then do some exercise, digest your food, and go wash the dishes."

Father Li: "Jun'er, you are 20 years old, the eldest is not young, when will you marry a daughter-in-law?"

Li Haijun: "There is no rush, we have to find someone who suits us."

Father Li: "Since you entered the city as a worker, I have dismissed many matchmakers. I was thinking that you could find a girl from the city."

Li Haijun nodded, his father was right.

"However, your Chu Chong classmate Xia He also found a matchmaker, what do you think?"

Xia He, a girl he once admired.

However, this girl's family is too realistic, and they dislike their poor conditions. The Xia family also wants to use Xia He's handsome appearance to find a rich and powerful son-in-law.

Xia He is at the village flower level in the countryside, but she is still far behind Ding Qiunan, let alone Liu Yatou.

Compared with Liu Yatou, who is protruding and backward, and has an S figure, she is like a white swan and an ugly duckling.

"Push it, I can't see her now."

Li Jinxin interjected: "At the beginning she looked down on our family, but now that my brother is a worker, she wants to turn around, bah, she thinks well."

"Brother, I support you."

Li Haijun suddenly remembered the radio he had brought back to Father Li.

Hastily went down to search in the bag.

"Dad, I did a small favor to the factory manager some time ago. To thank me, he gave me a radio ticket. There is a radio in the factory. Besides, I don't like to listen to this stuff. You can stay and listen."

Father Li looked at the wooden box radio.

Father Li: "There is no electricity in our village."

Li Haijun: "It's okay, you can put batteries in the back."

Li Haijun told Li's father how to use the radio, and Li Jinxin stopped lying on the kang to calm his stomach.

Li's father didn't learn it, but Li Jinxin was smart, and she understood everything after Li Haijun demonstrated it.

Father Li: "Battery is not cheap, and industrial volume is required. It is too expensive to listen to this thing."

Li Haijun: "I will buy the battery for you. Don't be reluctant to use it. You buy it for listening, not for display."

Father Li hummed in agreement, but when Li Haijun left, he probably couldn't bear to turn it on and listen all day long.

While the family of three was playing with the radio, someone came to the house.

"Aunt Wang, take your seat in your room."

"Brother Li, this is the radio!"

A well-known matchmaker nearby came to the door, and the Li family knew that they would come to the matchmaker on time to pull the fiber.

"Well, Junzi bought it to relieve boredom."

Matchmaker Wang looked at the radio enviously: "Junzi is capable and filial, Brother Li, just wait and enjoy your happiness."

Matchmaker Wang came with a mission this time.

Li Haijun's return this time caused a lot of commotion, and many nearby girls who hadn't left the cabinet were all staring at him.

If you marry him, you can go to the city to enjoy the blessings, and you don't have to stay in the country. Naturally, you have to fight for it.

(To explain, if you don’t have a job, even if you marry a city resident, you won’t have an urban hukou. If you have a child in the future, you will follow your mother’s hukou. It’s a rural hukou, not an urban hukou.)
(Rural household registration also means that there is no food ration, so many people are unwilling to marry country girls because of this.)
Father Li: "Aunt Wang, Jun'er has a good girl in the city."

They said it so directly, although Matchmaker Wang didn't know if Li Haijun had a good relationship in the city, but she made it clear that she didn't want to marry a country girl.

Her mission failed.

It is impossible for Li's father to let the matchmaker go for nothing. For nothing else, these people's mouths can do things, and they can also do bad things.

If he said something out of the ordinary, it would ruin Li Haijun's reputation.

Father Li took out a bag of Daqianmen very painfully.

"Aunt Wang, you take this pack of cigarettes back to smoke, and you will run away for nothing if I trouble you about Jun'er."

Matchmaker Wang felt relieved when she saw the big front door. Although she didn't earn a thank you fee, at least it wasn't in vain.

I thought to myself: The Li family is grand, it's different when they enter the city.

"Brother Li, since the army has a good girl, you should invite me to have a drink during the wedding."

"sure."

After dismissing Matchmaker Wang, Father Li said in pain, "The [-] cents for this pack of cigarettes are gone, so it's a good deal for her."

Li Haijun smiled without saying a word.

By another person coming to the door to protect the media and pull the fibers.

This time, Father Li learned to be smart, and took a handful of toffee, and everyone gave a few pieces of candy.

Even so, Li Jinxin's distressed eyes turned red.

"Dad, close the door and go to sleep, or the good things my brother brought back will be distributed."

Father Li went to close the door, Li Jinxin went to another room, and Li Haijun lived in the same room as Father Li.

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Li Haijun looked out the window and gradually fell asleep.

On the second day, Li Jinxin and Li's father woke him up early.

Breakfast is pancakes and cornmeal porridge.

After Li Haijun finished his meal, he took out ten yuan from his pocket.

"You keep this money, spend it when you need it, and I'll give it to you when it's gone."

"There is no need to sell the eggs at home, you and your sister can eat them all."

"After I go back and arrange things properly, I will come back and pick you up into the city. There will be no place to raise chickens and ducks in the city, so you'd better eat them."

When Li Haijun thought of the smell of chicken excrement in Liang Ladi's house, he had a headache. He didn't want his father to follow Liang Ladi's example when he went to the city.

Father Li: "Success. Listen to you."

After dinner, Li Haijun went to Nantai Commune on foot.

On the way, I met many villagers who got up early and greeted them kindly.

Li Haijun thought about his and his younger sister's names. His name was called Hai Hai because the fortune-teller said his life lacked water, and his sister was called Li Jinxin because the fortune-teller said his life lacked gold.

The name is too random.

But fortunately, he didn't give him a good name to support. If Li Goudan, Li Gousheng, then he would be even more embarrassing.

The morning breeze is gentle, and the air in the countryside is sweet.

Li Haijun came to Nantai Commune, and only then did he know that the car from the machine repair shop hadn't arrived yet.

Li Haijun estimated that he was on the way, but Nantai Commune sent people and a carriage to meet him.

Li Haijun was ushered to the village headquarters, and when the people from Nantai Commune came, they would arrange a unified residence.

Leading the way is a scumbag, Cui Dake.

"Comrade Li, sit down and rest your feet!"

Cui Dake poured water for him very attentively.

"I never thought we were neighbors. You are from Nanping Commune."

Li Haijun said with a snake tail: "Thank you, Comrade Dake."

Cui Dake: "No thanks, no thanks, it is my honor to serve the big brother workers."

Li Haijun would not be fooled by Cui Dake's full of smiles and flattery.

He knew that Cui Da was a typical scumbag, a sinister villain, and a criminal between the walls.

Not to mention other things, but when he took advantage of Jiu Jin to attack Ding Qiunan, he went to the bottom line of morality, even worse than a beast.

Ding Qiunan became pregnant because of this, and lived in regret and pain all her life.

In the past, he didn't know why Cui Dake, a cattle thief, was sent by Nantai Commune to deliver pigs.

Now he knows, because the production captain of Nantai Commune is also surnamed Cui.

It is the same Cui word as Cui Da.

Li Haijun stayed in the village for nearly two hours, and finally the motorcade from the factory arrived.

"Master, what's the matter?"

Liang Ladi jumped out of the car: "Don't mention it, the car broke down halfway last night."

"Then everyone rested overnight on the road."

Li Haijun hurriedly helped Liang Ladi get the luggage.

At this time, the factory leader had already contacted the commune secretary and team leader.

"Workers, Nantai Commune has prepared a reception banquet for us, shouldn't we thank the folks for their enthusiasm!"

The workers from the machine repair shop were already hungry, with their chests sticking to their backs.

One by one heard the meal, and shouted: "Thank you folks..."

Soon the villagers set up tables, chairs and benches on the threshing ground.

Plates of green vegetables were served on the table, and the last hard dish was chicken mushrooms with potatoes in them.

Although there is not much chicken, at least there is meat.

This meal is very lively.

Next is to solve the problem of accommodation.

Dozens of people were assigned to the homes of fellow villagers and boarded.

Nantai Commune proposed to let everyone rest for an afternoon to recharge their batteries.

But everyone refused, the cannibalism is short-sighted, and he entered the working state in the afternoon.
