Siheyuan diet for men and women
Chapter 284 Why Are You Feeling Guilty?
The temple fairs in Sijiu City have a long history, and this festival has existed since the previous dynasty.
Even after the liberation, the temple fairs in Forty-Nine City continued to be held. Li Xuewu remembered that the temple fairs were still lively and lively when he was a child.
The Longfu Temple Fair, the Huguo Temple Fair, the Baita Temple Fair, the Earth Temple Fair, and the Flower Market Fire God Temple Fair are the most historic temple fairs in Sijiu City.
There are also other large and small temple fairs.
But when Li Xuewu was eight or nine years old, many temple fairs gradually ceased, and the Changdian Temple Fair, which lasted until the end, was also suspended for three years.
The year before last, which was the second year Li Xuewu joined the army, relevant departments reopened the Changdian temple fair, and the whole city was in a commotion.
The temple fair that Li Xuewu is going to take his sister to attend today is the only temple fair in Sijiu City at this time.
Actually, today Li Xuewu had already made up his mind, and took his sister to buy things in Wangfujing and went directly to Liulichang.
It was on the way, but Aunt Ding saw it and took it home, which counted as an extra trip.
Why do you say that.
Because the Gu family lives near Andingmen, which is north of Li Xuewu's house, which is on the North Second Ring Road.
And where is Wangfujing? It's almost to East Chang'an Avenue.
If you walk southwest along Qianmen Street, you will be at the temple fair that Li Xuewu and his sister are going to attend.
Now it is equivalent to running another distance from home to Wangfujing.
After more than 400 years of historical development, Changdian Temple Fair is well-known in the capital for its unique charm of "developing both culture and business, blending elegance and vulgarity, and blending business and entertainment".
Changdian Temple Fair is held from the first day of the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year. With Liulichang as the central axis, it starts from the intersection of Hepingmen in the north, reaches the intersection of Hufang Bridge in the south, ends in the South and North Willow Alley in the west, and ends in Yanshousi Street in the east.
The core is Haiwang Village Park on South Xinhua Street, which is the Chinese bookstore of later generations.
The entire area of the temple fair will be closed and motor vehicles will not be allowed to pass through.
There are all kinds of small stalls on the side of the road, all kinds of food.
At the temple fair, people who run dry boats, play with flags, and use big copper pots to make tea soup into small bowls, these things are not usually seen.
Therefore, no matter whether the old BJ people are rich or poor, if they don’t go to temple fairs during the Spring Festival, it’s not considered Chinese New Year.
As mentioned just now, the temple fair officially starts from the first day to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Today is the first year of the year, and there are two days left before Xiaonianer, so can there be a temple fair?
Have.
Because the common people have the custom of buying new year's goods during the New Year, the temple fair has been setting up stalls since childhood, but there are not many vendors and people who come here.
Now the temple fair stalls are all supply and marketing collectives, and collective organizations set up stalls, and individuals are not allowed to set up stalls.
Of course, craftsmen with a business license issued by the Ministry of Handicrafts and Industry and Commerce can also set up stalls.
For example, shoe repair, key distribution, and basket weaving. These handicrafts cannot form a collective management model, so the management authority is opened to the craftsmen.
So don't make an overall determination of a certain industry or state based on the policy requirements of a certain period of time.
The market is changing, and so are people, so policies are also changing. It is necessary to remove the fog of history to see the scene at a specific time.
Just like now, Li Xuewu took Li Xue and drove the car directly to Liulichang, looking for a place to store the car.
Because there were things on the car, Li Xuewu found a place to store the car and paid three cents more than the bicycle.
After getting out of the car, Li Xue saw two foreigners taking pictures with their cameras.
"Second Brother"
Li Xue looked at Li Xuewu nervously. It's not that Li Xue has never seen a foreigner before, but it's rare to see someone walking around with a camera.
Li Xuewu went around the rear of the car and walked to Li Xue's side, letting his sister take his arm.
Seeing that Li Xuewu was wearing a leather jacket, a cotton hat, sunglasses, and leather shoes, which was a bit different from the surrounding gray, black and blue, the two foreigners, a man and a woman, moved the camera over.
Li Xuewu also took his younger sister to go inside. Seeing that the two people Li Xue had reminded earlier wanted to take pictures of him, he blocked the direction of the camera with his hand.
"Excuse, would you like me taking a picture of you?"
Seeing the yellow-haired man speaking English to Li Xuewu and wanting to take pictures, the three young men in Chinese tunic suits who followed behind the man and a woman took a step forward.
One of the lesbians, wearing glasses and with short hair combed to the ears, was about to step forward to translate for Li Xuewu.
Unexpectedly, Li Xuewu waved his hand in front of the camera with a serious face, motioning for several people not to approach, and tactfully rejected Huang Mao's request.
"Sorry, I don't like to be taken into the camera."
Seeing that Li Xuewu replied to Huang Mao in fluent English, not only Huang Mao was surprised, but even the lesbians who were about to step forward to translate were stunned for a moment.
There are not many people in China who can speak such fluent English. They either work in the foreign affairs department, or have education in this field at home, or are engaged in teaching, but Li Xuewu's age seems a bit young.
Looking at Li Xuewu's clothes and the car he was driving, the three of them also speculated that Li Xuewu might be a person with a background or a descendant of these people.
“why? Just take a picture”
The yellow hair frowned and spread his hands to express doubts to Li Xuewu.
Seeing that Li Xuewu could communicate with him, he didn't talk to the staff around him.
“Personal privacy”
Li Xuewu, wearing sunglasses, replied "Personal privacy" with an expression of not getting close to strangers.
This made Huang Mao a little embarrassed, even the three young men in tunic suits who came with them could see Huang Mao's unnaturalness.
"comrade"
It was this young woman with short hair and ears who spoke, and said, "They are journalism scholars who have come to visit us, so they need to collect some materials, look."
Li Xuewu shook his head at the young woman and said: "We have a splendid traditional culture, a rich and colorful market life, and excellent model representatives. Please invite them to take pictures of these. I am just an ordinary citizen. No need to take pictures”
"This……"
Now it costs a few cents to take a small photo. Taking pictures is a fashionable thing. Is there anyone who doesn’t want to be photographed?
Seeing that the young woman was in a difficult situation, and that her companion who wanted to take pictures had to leave, the woman Huang Mao who had been silent just now suddenly asked Li Xuewu, "Can I ask you a question?"
Li Xuewu took Li Xue to leave, but was stopped by Huang Mao's question.
He didn't say yes, he didn't say no, he just looked at that woman.
The meaning is obvious. If I want to answer, I can answer. If I don’t want to, I won’t answer.
"I see that you are well dressed, and you must be very prestigious in your country. You drive a Willys jeep. Do you like the cars of the United States?"
This yellow-haired woman can also speak Chinese, which is rarer than meeting Chinese-speaking people in China. She may have worked or studied in China.
"No"
Li Xuewu shook his head and said: "First, my clothes are not new here. They are quite different. The most beautiful clothes are the clothes of the three people around you. You can understand the culture they represent. I won't say more."
"Second, we don't pay attention to status here, but comrades. It's not the rich who are the masters of the house, but the people who walk on the street with confidence. I am also a part of the people."
Li Xuewu said to the woman whose face had changed a bit: "Third, the vehicle I work on is our domestically produced 212 jeep. I like that one very much, but it is a work vehicle."
Under the surprised expressions of several people, Li Xuewu said helplessly: "In my life, I can only drive the old antiques that my elders seized from the Americans."
Even when he saw the yellow-haired woman's face turn ugly, Li Xuewu still said: "There is no way, we pay attention to diligence and thrift, and the seized things are still things, so let's use them as waste."
After finishing speaking, regardless of the reactions of several people, he took his sister Li Xue and walked into the street.
Entering the inner street, there is a festive atmosphere, and stalls have been set up along both sides of the street.
Those who sell couplets, those who sell New Year pictures, those who sell firecrackers, those who buy calendars, those who sell lanterns, those who buy diabolos, those who sell windmills... dazzling.
Because today is Sunday, there are many people who do not go to work, and it is the last Sunday before the year, so everyone is here today to buy new year's goods.
The stalls are also filled with things related to the Chinese New Year.
The most representative of this era is the candied haws.
Hey, the candied haws at this time is different from the common ones in later generations, it is really long.
How long can it be?
Haha, children can wrap candied haws around their waists for two and a half circles.
It's that long.
Young children will dangle when they buy a string and lift it up.
Dangyou also held it up, as if he was drunk, enjoying himself while walking.
This represents that he is a cow, and he can afford candied haws.
After they got here, Li Xue looked back and asked boldly, "Second brother, what did you tell them just now?"
Because of the noise in the street, Li Xuewu pulled his sister closer and said, "Don't let them take pictures, just brag about it, hahahaha"
"cluck cluck"
Li Xue just thinks it's really interesting to go out to play with the second brother, to see people and things that you can't see at school and at home.
"Second brother, you have a thick skin"
"ummmmm"
Li Xuewu nodded and said: "So don't imitate me, don't ask me for things for a while."
"I do not!"
"Hahaha"
Li Xue felt that the longest road in the world was the way of the second brother.
"Second brother, why do you speak foreign languages?"
Li Xue laughed for a while, and then remembered the croaking birdsong of the second brother just now.
This was the only advantage that Li Xuewu had in his previous life, and that was his language talent.
Li Xuewu studied English when he was in school, and he could always memorize words by reading them three times, and he could know the pronunciation and general meaning of unfamiliar words by looking at their structure.
It may be that he has mastered a certain method, or it may be a talent, so Li Xuewu's English foundation is very good.
Coupled with the government assignment to work in a certain place in Africa for a year, his English is also excellent in listening, speaking, reading and writing. By the way, he also learned French very well there.
This stuff seems very mysterious to say, but some people learn languages very simply.
The eldest brother in Li Xuewu’s dormitory was suffering from not having a translator when he was a child, and even if he had one, he was almost meaningless, so he found a book for self-study.
Hey, how can I say that interest is the best teacher? With hard work and talent, this big brother really understands Japanese.
Every time the dormitory collectively "criticizes" island country action movies, it's when this big brother performs.
That translation is really full of voice and emotion, and the sound transmission is fascinating, which is more than a hundred times more vivid than the sound dubbing of a serious dubbed film.
Let's not talk about those girls who watch Korean dramas and learn Korean.
"Hi, we have bilingual documents in both Chinese and English in our reading room, just take your time and you'll be fine."
Li Xue curled her lips and said, "It's a lie, second brother, can't you speak the truth?"
"Ha ha ha ha"
Li Xuewu laughed for a while, and brought his sister to the New Year picture booth.
New Year pictures are an indispensable festival element for the people in Forty-Nine City.
Where is this place? This is Liulichang, and this is a place where cultural people gather.
Most of the streets on the left and right are stationery stores and antique calligraphy and painting shops.
Therefore, the New Year paintings also have different styles, each with its own merits.
There is no need to doubt whether there are boutiques on the stalls built with broken door panels. Hey, if you are shopping on the street now, you may meet someone whose paintings can exceed [-] million in later generations, and his works can also be found in shops and stalls.
What Li Xuewu is looking at now is a painting of Yue Fei.
In the New Year painting, Yue Fei is riding on a horse. Zhang Bao in front of the horse and Wang Heng behind the horse each hold weapons and guard Yue Fei in front and behind.
The New Year pictures belong to the style of meticulous painting, with lifelike characters, mighty shapes and bright colors.
Lao Biaozi has liked this thing since he was a child, and he used to go shopping together to see it, and his eyes were addicted.
This year, several people said that they would celebrate the New Year in the inverted room, so Li Xuewu thought about buying the New Year pictures of the inverted room.
"how much is this?"
I saw the uncle behind the stall raised a finger.
Depend on!
Why don't you give me this set too.
Li Xuewu felt that this gesture was very familiar, maybe Director Wu put on makeup and came here to find trouble.
"One penny, come on, give it to me, Baoyuaner"
"Ha ha ha ha"
Li Xuewu's words made the people around him burst into laughter. Looking at Li Xuewu's clothes, he thought he was a respectable master, but unexpectedly he was also a bad boy.
"Men, those who celebrate the Chinese New Year are teasing me, right? You won't get back a penny even for materials. This is a hand-painted painting."
"Hehehehe"
Seeing that the old man was serious, Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Who knows how much that finger of yours represents? What if it's one yuan, hahaha"
"Come on, you're bad"
The uncle rolled up Yue Fei's New Year picture and asked, "Do you want anything else?"
Li Xuewu looked at the New Year pictures on the desk case, and picked out a pair of golden boy holding fish, and another pair with fish every year.
"Come on, I'll charge you thirty cents"
The uncle took the New Year picture scroll, took Li Xuewu's money, and handed the picture scroll to Li Xuewu.
In this way, Li Xuewu took Li Xue to buy New Year pictures, red paper, red lanterns and other things for the New Year.
Snacks such as Pea Yellow, Donkey Roll, Aiwowo, Bean Juice, and Jiaohuan also supported Li Xue's stomach.
When I came out, I saw a toy seller on the side of the road, so Li Xue pulled Li Xuewu to stop.
"Second brother, Li Shu's big carp doesn't like to play anymore, let's buy another one that can withstand falling."
With red paper under his arm and a lantern in his hand, Li Xuewu really didn't want to buy any more.
"I can't help her fall even if it's iron, what should I buy?"
Li Xue pointed to the wooden horse on the ground and said, "Buy this one."
Li Xuewu looked at the Trojan horse and fell into deep thought.
"Sister, did you forget something?"
"what?"
"Our grandfather was a carpenter."
"..."
Li Xue stood up with a blushing face and walked out quickly, as if she was walking fast, and there was no need to be embarrassed when she left here.
"Hahahaha"
Li Xue was laughed at by his second brother, and even the king of belly burst didn't let his second brother eat it.
Finally, they bought some candied fruit at Xinyuanzhai, and the two siblings walked back.
When we got to the car, the Huangmao guys had already left.
After handing over the ticket to the uncle who was watching the car, and putting the things in his hand into the rear cockpit, he breathed a sigh of relief and rushed home.
Seeing that the rear cockpit is full of good things, Li Xue said with a smile: "It would be great if it was like this every weekend."
"Hehehe"
Li Xuewu asked with a smile: "Then can you be the first in the whole grade in the final exam every weekend?"
"how is this possible"
Li Xue clenched her nose and said, "There is only one final in a semester, how can there be every week?"
"That's right, there is only one Spring Festival every year, how can it be possible to buy new year's goods every week?"
"Second brother, you can say so, why don't you have a date yet?"
Li Xuewu laughed angrily: "You can't afford it, can you?"
The two talked and laughed and went back to the courtyard.
Seeing the car entering the alley, Xiao Yan'er helped Li Xuewu open the gate of the West Courtyard from afar.
It will be closed again when Li Xuewu enters the courtyard.
"Don't turn it off, I have to go out later"
Seeing what Li Xuewu said, Little Yan'er opened the door.
You Erye was watching in the store at the moment, and both Yu Li and Xiaoyan came out to help Li Xuewu unload the goods.
Li Xue went home first with her toy box and shoe box in her arms.
When Li Xuewu finished packing the things in the car and entered the house carrying a cigarette bag and his parents' shoebox, Li Xue was being scolded by Liu Yin.
"Look, what did you buy here? This thing is so good? Your second brother's money is blown by the wind."
"What is this for?"
Li Xuewu put the things in his hand on the Kang in the north room, and looked at Li Xue, who looked a little listless, and Liu Yin on the Kang, he must be talking about Li Xue's ethnic doll.
Li Xue also wanted to show off, but she didn't expect that when she asked about the price, it made his old lady angry.
"Grandma, here is the cigarette pot I bought for you, look at it"
While talking, Li Xuewu handed the cigarette bag and pot in his hand to the old lady who was supporting Li Shu.
The old lady smiled and handed Li Shu to Liu Yin, and took the cigarette pot bought by her grandson.
I didn't feel it when I just opened it, but the cigarette holder was fine.
But it is only after pulling out the whole pipe and pot that we can see the extraordinaryness of this pot.
"It's not a waste of money, and I know how to buy cupronickel"
"Hehehehe"
Li Xuewu smiled, wisely, he didn't say the price.
"The brass one smells like copper, you told me earlier"
The old lady nodded with a smile, looking at the cigarette stick in her hand that was longer than the broken one.
"Come on, my grandson bought it for me, so don't ask the price, haha"
Li Xuewu nodded the cigarette pocket and said, "Grandma, you have to be careful with this pocket."
After saying this, he picked up the shoe box that Li Shu needed and handed it to Liu Yin, saying, "These are the shoes I bought for you."
Liu Yin looked at her son in surprise, and was surprised by the leather shoes in the shoe box that Li Shu opened.
"What... why do you buy such good shoes? You can't spend it like this even if your salary has increased, but life is over."
Li Xuewu didn't care about his old lady's nagging, picked up the shoe box on the kang, walked to the main room, and said to Li Shun who was sitting on the chair: "Dad, I bought you a pair of shoes, you can try it."
While talking, Li Xuewu knelt down to help Li Shun take off his shoes.
Li Shun originally wanted to put on his father's airs and say a few words about Li Xuewu, but the second son knelt down to help him change his shoes, his throat suddenly choked up, and he didn't know what to say.
"Then I will change it myself"
Li Xuewu had already helped Li Shun take off the cotton shoes on his feet, picked up the leather shoes in the shoe box and put them on Li Shun's feet.
Li Shun saw that his son didn't speak, so he left it to Li Xuewu.
After changing the shoes, Li Xuewu stood up and said to Li Shun, "Dad, stand up and see if it fits."
“Very suitable”
Seeing Li Shun's uncomfortable expression, Liu Yin also knew that her wife was losing face.
Then he also persuaded: "The child told you to try, you just try, why are you so stubborn?"
Li Shun had no choice but to stand up and take two steps.
“Very good, not crowded”
Liu Yin looked at Li Shun walking around the room wearing leather shoes with a smile, and said, "It's really standing at attention, this time it's amazing, I'm wearing leather shoes now."
After walking around for a couple of times, Li Shun sat back on the chair and prepared to take off his shoes.
"Just wear it"
"What to wear, how can such a good shoe be worn like this?"
Li Shun replied to his son, and then let Liu Yin help change the shoes.
At this moment Li Xue came over with Liu Yin's shoebox, and offered to help Liu Yin change her shoes.
Li Xuewu knew that his sister was acting positively, so he just stood aside and watched with a smile.
Liu Yin also smiled and said to Li Xue: "It's still an old girl who loves my mother dearly."
"Hehehehe"
Li Xuewu's smile made Li Xue blush a little, but she helped her mother stand up and tried on the shoes.
"It's so soft, look at the upper is really bright"
Liu Yin boasted, then raised her head and asked, "Your father has a pair, I have a pair, and Li Xue has a pair. How much did you spend today?"
Li Xuewu didn't dare to report to his mother. If he told the truth, his mother could walk to the store to return the shoes.
"Not much, isn't it the Chinese New Year, your elder brother and I are bothering you"
"Uh-huh"
Liu Yin nodded her head and said, "This sounds pleasing to the ear."
Li Xuewu took advantage of this moment to get away quickly.
"Mom, I have to go visit a friend, come back later"
"Come back for dinner?"
It wasn't that Liu Yin wanted to drag Li Xuewu home for dinner, but asked Li Xuewu if he could come back before dinner.
"I'll tell you later, it won't be too late"
While talking, Li Xuewu had already left the door.
When I walked to the inverted room, I saw Yu Li was packing the New Year's goods bought by Li Xuewu in the east room.
"Sister-in-law, after cleaning, come to the backyard and help me clean up, I have to leave later"
After Li Xuewu said this, he went to the backyard again.
Yu Li didn't pay much attention to Li Xuewu's words. She just put the lanterns and firecrackers away, and then went to the backyard to help Li Xuewu clean up the house.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw that Li Xuewu had already changed into the old military uniform he had returned from his job change.
"What is this for?"
Li Xuewu was packing his clothes in front of the mirror right now.
"About a friend, not far from here, said to practice wrestling"
Yu Li saw that the house was tidied up in the morning, and it wasn't messy, but the villain said so, so he had to come.
He stepped forward to help Li Xuewu straighten his clothes.
"You're just full, it doesn't hurt to fall."
"Hehehe"
Li Xuewu looked at Yu Li's appearance as a housekeeper, and said with a smile: "A master's trick, if you click it, you can still kill him."
After explaining a sentence, he pointed to the shoe box on the desk and said, "I bought it for you, try to see if it fits."
"What?"
Yu Li didn't expect that this person actually bought something for her. It looked like a pair of shoes, but she still couldn't help asking.
"Open it and have a look and you'll know."
Li Xuewu packed his clothes, turned around and was about to leave.
Yu Li went to the desk and opened the box, and saw a pair of black shiny low-heeled leather shoes in the box.
"Ah~ it's leather shoes!"
At this time, no woman can resist the temptation of leather shoes.
If there is, it must be a woman you can't get.
Yu Li looked up at Li Xuewu in surprise, and asked, "Did you buy it for me?"
Li Xuewu turned around and said with a smile: "Then can you buy it for me?"
"You are bad~"
Yu Li came over and threw herself into Li Xuewu's arms.
This was the first time that Yu Li dared to get so close to Li Xuewu during the day.
Li Xuewu patted Yu Li on the back with a smile and said: "Go home and have a look when you are young, and use the money I gave you."
"No, that's money for you to buy supplements"
Li Xuewu was also afraid that the white gauze curtains would not be able to block his sight, so he patted Yu Li on the shoulder and said, "I'll give it to you later."
While speaking, Li Xuewu walked to the entrance and put on yellow rubber shoes.
"Don't bring my meal tonight, maybe what time it will be"
"Learning martial arts"
Yu Li took a few steps forward, put her arms around Li Xuewu's head and kissed him.
Li Xuewu was surprised by Yu Li's initiative, and responded with a smile.
After a while, the two parted with some panting.
"Try the shoes, the shoe size should be right, I have to hurry, otherwise it will be dark soon"
Seeing Li Xuewu go out, Yu Li certainly knew that Li Xuewu knew her shoe size.
It's just that there is no equipment, otherwise Li Xuewu would be able to help Yu Li make a custom-made insole.
Technician 8's feet...
As soon as Li Xuewu drove out of the west courtyard, he saw Qin Huairu entering the alley with a stick.
He drove the car to the outside, stepped on the brakes when he got to the girls and asked, "Why are you girls here?"
Qin Huairu saw that Li Xuewu was wearing a military overcoat, as if he was about to go out, so he pulled the stick to touch the car and backed away.
"Isn't it the New Year's Eve, take him out for a walk, what are you going for?"
Li Xuewu turned around and took out the shoe box from the rear cockpit under cover, then turned around and handed it to Qin Huairu.
"A friend in Dongsi Liutiao invited me to practice wrestling. These are the shoes you asked me to buy. Let's see if they fit."
Qin Huairu stared blankly at the shoe box in his hand, wondering when did he ask him to buy shoes.
But the son exclaimed: "Uncle Wu, are you going to wrestle? Take me with you."
Only then did I realize that it was Li Xuewu's excuse, which was actually a gift of his own shoes.
"What are you going to do? Your Uncle Wu is going to wrestle, and you are going to wrestle too?"
Stick stick pulled the door handle of the jeep and begged his mother, "I want to learn to wrestle."
The expression on Qin Huairu's face was happy, how could he control the stick.
Li Xuewu smiled and asked the big fat face: "Why are you learning to wrestle?"
Stick stem said to Li Xuewu: "Some seniors always bully me..."
Before Banggen finished speaking, Qin Huairu asked nervously like a hen guarding chickens: "Who bullied you? Why didn't you tell the teacher? I'll start school again..."
Looking at Qin Huairu's appearance, the stick was a little nervous.
"hey hey"
Li Xuewu interrupted Qin Huairu's words, and said: "Boys can't use your tricks, aren't they spoiled?"
After saying something about Qin Huairu, Li Xuewu said to the stick: "It's fine to play with me, but it's not certain whether you can learn it or not. Another thing, don't bully people, you know?"
"Got it Uncle Wu"
Stick stem looked at Li Xuewu expectantly.
Li Xuewu waved his hand at the stick and said, "What are you doing stupidly? Get in the car?"
"Hey!"
The stick jumped up and down happily, walked around the front of the car and got on the jeep.
"Learning martial arts"
Qin Huairu is not worried that Bang Geng will follow Li Xuewu, but what is worried is that Bang Geng will cause trouble for Li Xuewu.
I didn't think before that after studying and practicing in the hostel for so long, my understanding of Li Xuewu's identity became more and more clear.
The feelings for Li Xuewu also have the taste of an authority.
Li Xuewu didn't care, but blinked at Qin Huairu with his stick on his back, and said, "Don't keep his meal tonight, eat out with me."
After saying this, Li Xuewu drove out of the alley and headed east to Siliutiao.
Qin Huairu looked at BangGeng talking and laughing with Li Xuewu, and felt sore in his heart.
Qin Huairu also knew that two women in the family would not be able to raise a man, but the conditions were like this, so what else could be done.
Seeing that Banggen and Li Xuewu get along fairly well now, I feel more and more that my choice is correct.
Don't mention Li Xuewu's help and arrangements for me, let's just say it's right.
Ever since she "mixed" with what her mother-in-law called "Li Er's Scar", the stick has relieved her worries.
It is also strange to say that Li Xuewu is not as good as Sha Zhu for the stick, and Sha Zhu is obedient to the stick.
As for Li Xuewu, he frightened and reprimanded him, and from time to time he even hurt his son.
It's even more common to fool your son, but it's better to follow Li Xuewu.
I just feel that Li Xuewu is more of a man than Shazhu, and I often say that a man has to be like Li Xuewu at home.
It's a good kid who knows what a man is, but it doesn't mean that he can learn from others.
If the stick had a father, he wouldn't be following Li Xuewu's example.
Qin Huairu held the shoebox in his hand and looked at the entrance of the alley for a long time.
I also thought a lot in my heart, including the relationship with Li Xuewu, including the sensibleness of the stick, including my own independence and change now.
After Li Xuewu left home, Liu Yin began to torture Li Xue.
"How much did your second brother spend? Where did you eat at noon? Did he take you to a restaurant? Look at the smell of wine in your mouth"
Liu Yin pointed at Li Xue's forehead and said, "Your second brother left the family and went there on his own, and he just counted on his salary to save his wife's money, but you can't help but click."
Pressed by his mother, the inexperienced Li Xue had no choice but to sell his second brother.
After talking about the money to buy shoes, he said: "I didn't go to the restaurant at noon, I ate at an aunt's house."
Liu Yin was thinking about buying shoes again, but when she heard that she was eating at an "aunt"'s house at noon, she paused and asked, "What aunt?"
Li Xue recalled the miraculous experience in the morning, and said: "It is living in a large courtyard with guards, and living in a small courtyard within the large courtyard."
Li Xueyue said that Liu Yin, Li Shun and others were getting more and more confused.
"What kind of big courtyard and small courtyard? What kind of place is this?"
Li Xue shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but Aunt Ding lives in a small second-floor building in a courtyard with service staff and guards."
Liu Yin questioned: "Service staff? Security guards? Where do you live?"
"Oh, it's just Aunt Ding's family."
Li Xue nodded and said, "They live in their own house, and they still have a car. My second brother's car was given by Uncle Gu."
"Ok?"
Li Shun frowned and asked, "Didn't Xuewu say that the car was allocated by a scrap company?"
"seems not"
Li Xue shook her head and said, "The license plate of that car belongs to Uncle Gu. I met Aunt Ding at the entrance of Wangfujing shopping mall today."
Li Xue recounted from the beginning the experience of visiting Gu's house with her second brother today.
Everyone in the Li family listened to a personal name, things that were different from their own lives, and what Li Xue said, the family banquet.
Especially when Li Xue said that Gu Ning might be his second brother's partner, and his second brother even called Aunt Ding mother.
"this child"
Liu Yin complained, and then said: "Why don't you tell me when you have a partner? I changed my mind, and I haven't seen my in-laws yet. What's this called? Isn't it telling people that we are being rude?"
Li Shun still frowned thinking about the environment of the Gu family that Li Xue had mentioned.
From Li Xue's statement, Li Shun could still hear something was wrong, but he didn't say it in front of Liu Yin.
"Let's ask after Xuewu comes back, maybe the child has his own ideas."
Seeing what Li Shun said, Liu Yin could only put it down temporarily, but the movement of looking out from time to time still exposed Liu Yin's worry.
"What does that Gu Ning look like?"
Seeing his old lady looking at him again, Li Xue knew that his second brother's four toys and leather shoes were not for nothing.
"Um……"
Li Xue thought about Gu Ning's appearance, and then said: "It's very tall, almost as high as my second brother's ear."
"and then?"
Li Xue nodded and said, "He has a good-looking forehead, oval face, big eyes, and double eyelids."
Li Xue has never been exposed to the problem of describing people, unlike these old ladies in the courtyard.
The vocabulary must not be as good as Li Xue's, but to describe people is analogy plus metaphor, and the rhetorical techniques make writers feel ashamed.
Listening to her daughter's description, Liu Yin was also like a kitten scratching her heart, she pulled Li Xue and asked in a low voice, "Where is your sister-in-law?"
"Ok?"
Li Xue stared at her mother with wide eyes, is this comparable?
Hell mode?
Looking at the sister-in-law who was reading in the south room, Li Xue also replied in a voice that could be heard by two people: "It looks much better."
"Um"
Now Liu Yin is satisfied, that's right, if you can't describe it, you can compare it.
Li Xue said in a low voice: "You are easy-going, you don't like to talk, you are tall and wearing a girly coat, you can stand at attention."
"Uh-huh"
Liu Yin was more satisfied now, and asked in a normal voice: "Do you know what their family does?"
Li Xue frowned and thought for a while and said, "The service staff called Aunt Ding Editor Ding, so she should be an editor, right?"
"you child"
Liu Yin smiled and said to Li Xue: "What else can an editor be? What about the others?"
Li Xue replied: "Gu Ning and her sister-in-law are both doctors, I heard my brother call, that..."
Li Xue hesitated for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't know what Uncle Gu does."
Just what Li Xue said is enough for everyone in the Li family to imagine.
"Do you see that the two of them are dating?"
Li Xue shook her head and said, "I don't know how to read it."
Liu Yin complained: "You child, you are very smart, you just talk to each other and hold hands."
"how is this possible"
Li Xue shook her head and said, "I asked my second brother when I came out, and my second brother said it wasn't counted."
"Oops~"
Liu Yin sighed, and said: "Talk about this second child. If you want to find a partner, you have to look for it when you are young. There are a lot of messes. But when you reach a serious age, you start to have trouble again."
The old lady put Li Shu into the car, slowly pushing and coaxing her.
"Wait until the child comes back and ask again. It's useless to be anxious now. The second boy has a good idea, so don't miss it."
After hearing what the old lady said, Liu Yin stopped talking about it.
Li Xue was liberated.
Seeing that the mother no longer asked herself, she immediately wanted to leave with the four dolls in her arms.
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing that her daughter was about to leave again, Liu Yin asked a question.
Li Xue turned her head and said, "I'll put the doll at my second brother's house, but I'm afraid Li Shu will drop it at our house."
"It's like a treasure"
Liu Yin smiled and said to her daughter: "Go."
Li Xue responded and went to the backyard.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Yan Xiecheng's daughter-in-law leaving with a shoebox.
"sister in law"
Li Xue greeted her, then looked at the shoebox in Yu Li's hand.
A little familiar.
Seeing Li Xue looking over, Yu Li said unnaturally: "Come play with your second brother, just stay here, I'll be back"
After saying this, Yu Li hurriedly went out the door by mistake with Li Xue.
Li Xue hugged her doll and looked back at Yu Li, muttering in doubt, "Why are you guilty?"
After muttering this, he entered the house and hid his doll in the tea cabinet in Li Xuewu's living room.
Yu Li was holding the shoebox in her hand as if she was holding red-hot briquettes.
Originally, she was thinking of putting it in Li Xuewu's shoe cabinet first, and waiting to get it later.
But just as I was about to put it away, Li Xue came in, so I had to come out with the shoebox.
What was quite uncomfortable was that Li Xue stared at him for a while, as if someone was staring at him all the time.
Hey, how about Qiaoer? Her mother opened the door for Qiaoer, and Qiaoer arrived home.
As soon as Yu Li entered the Moon Gate, she saw Qin Huairu coming in from the third gate.
Coincidentally, both of them are holding shoe boxes in their hands, and the packaging is not to say similar, they are exactly the same.
Now both of them are walking towards the middle courtyard, and they live next to each other, so the atmosphere in the courtyard is extremely awkward.
"Sister Qin"
"Hey, have you cleaned up the backyard?"
"Yes, just cleaned up"
"Yes, you are busy"
"it is good"
Both of them had a tacit understanding without looking at the things in each other's hands, and neither said any nonsense.
Yu Li went into Yushui's house, and Qin Huairu went back to her own home.
As soon as Yu Li entered the room, she put the shoe box under the bed, but she felt unsafe, so she put the shoe box in the cabinet.
Moving around, I always felt unsteady, and finally the shoe box returned to the bottom of the bed.
Even after the liberation, the temple fairs in Forty-Nine City continued to be held. Li Xuewu remembered that the temple fairs were still lively and lively when he was a child.
The Longfu Temple Fair, the Huguo Temple Fair, the Baita Temple Fair, the Earth Temple Fair, and the Flower Market Fire God Temple Fair are the most historic temple fairs in Sijiu City.
There are also other large and small temple fairs.
But when Li Xuewu was eight or nine years old, many temple fairs gradually ceased, and the Changdian Temple Fair, which lasted until the end, was also suspended for three years.
The year before last, which was the second year Li Xuewu joined the army, relevant departments reopened the Changdian temple fair, and the whole city was in a commotion.
The temple fair that Li Xuewu is going to take his sister to attend today is the only temple fair in Sijiu City at this time.
Actually, today Li Xuewu had already made up his mind, and took his sister to buy things in Wangfujing and went directly to Liulichang.
It was on the way, but Aunt Ding saw it and took it home, which counted as an extra trip.
Why do you say that.
Because the Gu family lives near Andingmen, which is north of Li Xuewu's house, which is on the North Second Ring Road.
And where is Wangfujing? It's almost to East Chang'an Avenue.
If you walk southwest along Qianmen Street, you will be at the temple fair that Li Xuewu and his sister are going to attend.
Now it is equivalent to running another distance from home to Wangfujing.
After more than 400 years of historical development, Changdian Temple Fair is well-known in the capital for its unique charm of "developing both culture and business, blending elegance and vulgarity, and blending business and entertainment".
Changdian Temple Fair is held from the first day of the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year. With Liulichang as the central axis, it starts from the intersection of Hepingmen in the north, reaches the intersection of Hufang Bridge in the south, ends in the South and North Willow Alley in the west, and ends in Yanshousi Street in the east.
The core is Haiwang Village Park on South Xinhua Street, which is the Chinese bookstore of later generations.
The entire area of the temple fair will be closed and motor vehicles will not be allowed to pass through.
There are all kinds of small stalls on the side of the road, all kinds of food.
At the temple fair, people who run dry boats, play with flags, and use big copper pots to make tea soup into small bowls, these things are not usually seen.
Therefore, no matter whether the old BJ people are rich or poor, if they don’t go to temple fairs during the Spring Festival, it’s not considered Chinese New Year.
As mentioned just now, the temple fair officially starts from the first day to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Today is the first year of the year, and there are two days left before Xiaonianer, so can there be a temple fair?
Have.
Because the common people have the custom of buying new year's goods during the New Year, the temple fair has been setting up stalls since childhood, but there are not many vendors and people who come here.
Now the temple fair stalls are all supply and marketing collectives, and collective organizations set up stalls, and individuals are not allowed to set up stalls.
Of course, craftsmen with a business license issued by the Ministry of Handicrafts and Industry and Commerce can also set up stalls.
For example, shoe repair, key distribution, and basket weaving. These handicrafts cannot form a collective management model, so the management authority is opened to the craftsmen.
So don't make an overall determination of a certain industry or state based on the policy requirements of a certain period of time.
The market is changing, and so are people, so policies are also changing. It is necessary to remove the fog of history to see the scene at a specific time.
Just like now, Li Xuewu took Li Xue and drove the car directly to Liulichang, looking for a place to store the car.
Because there were things on the car, Li Xuewu found a place to store the car and paid three cents more than the bicycle.
After getting out of the car, Li Xue saw two foreigners taking pictures with their cameras.
"Second Brother"
Li Xue looked at Li Xuewu nervously. It's not that Li Xue has never seen a foreigner before, but it's rare to see someone walking around with a camera.
Li Xuewu went around the rear of the car and walked to Li Xue's side, letting his sister take his arm.
Seeing that Li Xuewu was wearing a leather jacket, a cotton hat, sunglasses, and leather shoes, which was a bit different from the surrounding gray, black and blue, the two foreigners, a man and a woman, moved the camera over.
Li Xuewu also took his younger sister to go inside. Seeing that the two people Li Xue had reminded earlier wanted to take pictures of him, he blocked the direction of the camera with his hand.
"Excuse, would you like me taking a picture of you?"
Seeing the yellow-haired man speaking English to Li Xuewu and wanting to take pictures, the three young men in Chinese tunic suits who followed behind the man and a woman took a step forward.
One of the lesbians, wearing glasses and with short hair combed to the ears, was about to step forward to translate for Li Xuewu.
Unexpectedly, Li Xuewu waved his hand in front of the camera with a serious face, motioning for several people not to approach, and tactfully rejected Huang Mao's request.
"Sorry, I don't like to be taken into the camera."
Seeing that Li Xuewu replied to Huang Mao in fluent English, not only Huang Mao was surprised, but even the lesbians who were about to step forward to translate were stunned for a moment.
There are not many people in China who can speak such fluent English. They either work in the foreign affairs department, or have education in this field at home, or are engaged in teaching, but Li Xuewu's age seems a bit young.
Looking at Li Xuewu's clothes and the car he was driving, the three of them also speculated that Li Xuewu might be a person with a background or a descendant of these people.
“why? Just take a picture”
The yellow hair frowned and spread his hands to express doubts to Li Xuewu.
Seeing that Li Xuewu could communicate with him, he didn't talk to the staff around him.
“Personal privacy”
Li Xuewu, wearing sunglasses, replied "Personal privacy" with an expression of not getting close to strangers.
This made Huang Mao a little embarrassed, even the three young men in tunic suits who came with them could see Huang Mao's unnaturalness.
"comrade"
It was this young woman with short hair and ears who spoke, and said, "They are journalism scholars who have come to visit us, so they need to collect some materials, look."
Li Xuewu shook his head at the young woman and said: "We have a splendid traditional culture, a rich and colorful market life, and excellent model representatives. Please invite them to take pictures of these. I am just an ordinary citizen. No need to take pictures”
"This……"
Now it costs a few cents to take a small photo. Taking pictures is a fashionable thing. Is there anyone who doesn’t want to be photographed?
Seeing that the young woman was in a difficult situation, and that her companion who wanted to take pictures had to leave, the woman Huang Mao who had been silent just now suddenly asked Li Xuewu, "Can I ask you a question?"
Li Xuewu took Li Xue to leave, but was stopped by Huang Mao's question.
He didn't say yes, he didn't say no, he just looked at that woman.
The meaning is obvious. If I want to answer, I can answer. If I don’t want to, I won’t answer.
"I see that you are well dressed, and you must be very prestigious in your country. You drive a Willys jeep. Do you like the cars of the United States?"
This yellow-haired woman can also speak Chinese, which is rarer than meeting Chinese-speaking people in China. She may have worked or studied in China.
"No"
Li Xuewu shook his head and said: "First, my clothes are not new here. They are quite different. The most beautiful clothes are the clothes of the three people around you. You can understand the culture they represent. I won't say more."
"Second, we don't pay attention to status here, but comrades. It's not the rich who are the masters of the house, but the people who walk on the street with confidence. I am also a part of the people."
Li Xuewu said to the woman whose face had changed a bit: "Third, the vehicle I work on is our domestically produced 212 jeep. I like that one very much, but it is a work vehicle."
Under the surprised expressions of several people, Li Xuewu said helplessly: "In my life, I can only drive the old antiques that my elders seized from the Americans."
Even when he saw the yellow-haired woman's face turn ugly, Li Xuewu still said: "There is no way, we pay attention to diligence and thrift, and the seized things are still things, so let's use them as waste."
After finishing speaking, regardless of the reactions of several people, he took his sister Li Xue and walked into the street.
Entering the inner street, there is a festive atmosphere, and stalls have been set up along both sides of the street.
Those who sell couplets, those who sell New Year pictures, those who sell firecrackers, those who buy calendars, those who sell lanterns, those who buy diabolos, those who sell windmills... dazzling.
Because today is Sunday, there are many people who do not go to work, and it is the last Sunday before the year, so everyone is here today to buy new year's goods.
The stalls are also filled with things related to the Chinese New Year.
The most representative of this era is the candied haws.
Hey, the candied haws at this time is different from the common ones in later generations, it is really long.
How long can it be?
Haha, children can wrap candied haws around their waists for two and a half circles.
It's that long.
Young children will dangle when they buy a string and lift it up.
Dangyou also held it up, as if he was drunk, enjoying himself while walking.
This represents that he is a cow, and he can afford candied haws.
After they got here, Li Xue looked back and asked boldly, "Second brother, what did you tell them just now?"
Because of the noise in the street, Li Xuewu pulled his sister closer and said, "Don't let them take pictures, just brag about it, hahahaha"
"cluck cluck"
Li Xue just thinks it's really interesting to go out to play with the second brother, to see people and things that you can't see at school and at home.
"Second brother, you have a thick skin"
"ummmmm"
Li Xuewu nodded and said: "So don't imitate me, don't ask me for things for a while."
"I do not!"
"Hahaha"
Li Xue felt that the longest road in the world was the way of the second brother.
"Second brother, why do you speak foreign languages?"
Li Xue laughed for a while, and then remembered the croaking birdsong of the second brother just now.
This was the only advantage that Li Xuewu had in his previous life, and that was his language talent.
Li Xuewu studied English when he was in school, and he could always memorize words by reading them three times, and he could know the pronunciation and general meaning of unfamiliar words by looking at their structure.
It may be that he has mastered a certain method, or it may be a talent, so Li Xuewu's English foundation is very good.
Coupled with the government assignment to work in a certain place in Africa for a year, his English is also excellent in listening, speaking, reading and writing. By the way, he also learned French very well there.
This stuff seems very mysterious to say, but some people learn languages very simply.
The eldest brother in Li Xuewu’s dormitory was suffering from not having a translator when he was a child, and even if he had one, he was almost meaningless, so he found a book for self-study.
Hey, how can I say that interest is the best teacher? With hard work and talent, this big brother really understands Japanese.
Every time the dormitory collectively "criticizes" island country action movies, it's when this big brother performs.
That translation is really full of voice and emotion, and the sound transmission is fascinating, which is more than a hundred times more vivid than the sound dubbing of a serious dubbed film.
Let's not talk about those girls who watch Korean dramas and learn Korean.
"Hi, we have bilingual documents in both Chinese and English in our reading room, just take your time and you'll be fine."
Li Xue curled her lips and said, "It's a lie, second brother, can't you speak the truth?"
"Ha ha ha ha"
Li Xuewu laughed for a while, and brought his sister to the New Year picture booth.
New Year pictures are an indispensable festival element for the people in Forty-Nine City.
Where is this place? This is Liulichang, and this is a place where cultural people gather.
Most of the streets on the left and right are stationery stores and antique calligraphy and painting shops.
Therefore, the New Year paintings also have different styles, each with its own merits.
There is no need to doubt whether there are boutiques on the stalls built with broken door panels. Hey, if you are shopping on the street now, you may meet someone whose paintings can exceed [-] million in later generations, and his works can also be found in shops and stalls.
What Li Xuewu is looking at now is a painting of Yue Fei.
In the New Year painting, Yue Fei is riding on a horse. Zhang Bao in front of the horse and Wang Heng behind the horse each hold weapons and guard Yue Fei in front and behind.
The New Year pictures belong to the style of meticulous painting, with lifelike characters, mighty shapes and bright colors.
Lao Biaozi has liked this thing since he was a child, and he used to go shopping together to see it, and his eyes were addicted.
This year, several people said that they would celebrate the New Year in the inverted room, so Li Xuewu thought about buying the New Year pictures of the inverted room.
"how much is this?"
I saw the uncle behind the stall raised a finger.
Depend on!
Why don't you give me this set too.
Li Xuewu felt that this gesture was very familiar, maybe Director Wu put on makeup and came here to find trouble.
"One penny, come on, give it to me, Baoyuaner"
"Ha ha ha ha"
Li Xuewu's words made the people around him burst into laughter. Looking at Li Xuewu's clothes, he thought he was a respectable master, but unexpectedly he was also a bad boy.
"Men, those who celebrate the Chinese New Year are teasing me, right? You won't get back a penny even for materials. This is a hand-painted painting."
"Hehehehe"
Seeing that the old man was serious, Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Who knows how much that finger of yours represents? What if it's one yuan, hahaha"
"Come on, you're bad"
The uncle rolled up Yue Fei's New Year picture and asked, "Do you want anything else?"
Li Xuewu looked at the New Year pictures on the desk case, and picked out a pair of golden boy holding fish, and another pair with fish every year.
"Come on, I'll charge you thirty cents"
The uncle took the New Year picture scroll, took Li Xuewu's money, and handed the picture scroll to Li Xuewu.
In this way, Li Xuewu took Li Xue to buy New Year pictures, red paper, red lanterns and other things for the New Year.
Snacks such as Pea Yellow, Donkey Roll, Aiwowo, Bean Juice, and Jiaohuan also supported Li Xue's stomach.
When I came out, I saw a toy seller on the side of the road, so Li Xue pulled Li Xuewu to stop.
"Second brother, Li Shu's big carp doesn't like to play anymore, let's buy another one that can withstand falling."
With red paper under his arm and a lantern in his hand, Li Xuewu really didn't want to buy any more.
"I can't help her fall even if it's iron, what should I buy?"
Li Xue pointed to the wooden horse on the ground and said, "Buy this one."
Li Xuewu looked at the Trojan horse and fell into deep thought.
"Sister, did you forget something?"
"what?"
"Our grandfather was a carpenter."
"..."
Li Xue stood up with a blushing face and walked out quickly, as if she was walking fast, and there was no need to be embarrassed when she left here.
"Hahahaha"
Li Xue was laughed at by his second brother, and even the king of belly burst didn't let his second brother eat it.
Finally, they bought some candied fruit at Xinyuanzhai, and the two siblings walked back.
When we got to the car, the Huangmao guys had already left.
After handing over the ticket to the uncle who was watching the car, and putting the things in his hand into the rear cockpit, he breathed a sigh of relief and rushed home.
Seeing that the rear cockpit is full of good things, Li Xue said with a smile: "It would be great if it was like this every weekend."
"Hehehe"
Li Xuewu asked with a smile: "Then can you be the first in the whole grade in the final exam every weekend?"
"how is this possible"
Li Xue clenched her nose and said, "There is only one final in a semester, how can there be every week?"
"That's right, there is only one Spring Festival every year, how can it be possible to buy new year's goods every week?"
"Second brother, you can say so, why don't you have a date yet?"
Li Xuewu laughed angrily: "You can't afford it, can you?"
The two talked and laughed and went back to the courtyard.
Seeing the car entering the alley, Xiao Yan'er helped Li Xuewu open the gate of the West Courtyard from afar.
It will be closed again when Li Xuewu enters the courtyard.
"Don't turn it off, I have to go out later"
Seeing what Li Xuewu said, Little Yan'er opened the door.
You Erye was watching in the store at the moment, and both Yu Li and Xiaoyan came out to help Li Xuewu unload the goods.
Li Xue went home first with her toy box and shoe box in her arms.
When Li Xuewu finished packing the things in the car and entered the house carrying a cigarette bag and his parents' shoebox, Li Xue was being scolded by Liu Yin.
"Look, what did you buy here? This thing is so good? Your second brother's money is blown by the wind."
"What is this for?"
Li Xuewu put the things in his hand on the Kang in the north room, and looked at Li Xue, who looked a little listless, and Liu Yin on the Kang, he must be talking about Li Xue's ethnic doll.
Li Xue also wanted to show off, but she didn't expect that when she asked about the price, it made his old lady angry.
"Grandma, here is the cigarette pot I bought for you, look at it"
While talking, Li Xuewu handed the cigarette bag and pot in his hand to the old lady who was supporting Li Shu.
The old lady smiled and handed Li Shu to Liu Yin, and took the cigarette pot bought by her grandson.
I didn't feel it when I just opened it, but the cigarette holder was fine.
But it is only after pulling out the whole pipe and pot that we can see the extraordinaryness of this pot.
"It's not a waste of money, and I know how to buy cupronickel"
"Hehehehe"
Li Xuewu smiled, wisely, he didn't say the price.
"The brass one smells like copper, you told me earlier"
The old lady nodded with a smile, looking at the cigarette stick in her hand that was longer than the broken one.
"Come on, my grandson bought it for me, so don't ask the price, haha"
Li Xuewu nodded the cigarette pocket and said, "Grandma, you have to be careful with this pocket."
After saying this, he picked up the shoe box that Li Shu needed and handed it to Liu Yin, saying, "These are the shoes I bought for you."
Liu Yin looked at her son in surprise, and was surprised by the leather shoes in the shoe box that Li Shu opened.
"What... why do you buy such good shoes? You can't spend it like this even if your salary has increased, but life is over."
Li Xuewu didn't care about his old lady's nagging, picked up the shoe box on the kang, walked to the main room, and said to Li Shun who was sitting on the chair: "Dad, I bought you a pair of shoes, you can try it."
While talking, Li Xuewu knelt down to help Li Shun take off his shoes.
Li Shun originally wanted to put on his father's airs and say a few words about Li Xuewu, but the second son knelt down to help him change his shoes, his throat suddenly choked up, and he didn't know what to say.
"Then I will change it myself"
Li Xuewu had already helped Li Shun take off the cotton shoes on his feet, picked up the leather shoes in the shoe box and put them on Li Shun's feet.
Li Shun saw that his son didn't speak, so he left it to Li Xuewu.
After changing the shoes, Li Xuewu stood up and said to Li Shun, "Dad, stand up and see if it fits."
“Very suitable”
Seeing Li Shun's uncomfortable expression, Liu Yin also knew that her wife was losing face.
Then he also persuaded: "The child told you to try, you just try, why are you so stubborn?"
Li Shun had no choice but to stand up and take two steps.
“Very good, not crowded”
Liu Yin looked at Li Shun walking around the room wearing leather shoes with a smile, and said, "It's really standing at attention, this time it's amazing, I'm wearing leather shoes now."
After walking around for a couple of times, Li Shun sat back on the chair and prepared to take off his shoes.
"Just wear it"
"What to wear, how can such a good shoe be worn like this?"
Li Shun replied to his son, and then let Liu Yin help change the shoes.
At this moment Li Xue came over with Liu Yin's shoebox, and offered to help Liu Yin change her shoes.
Li Xuewu knew that his sister was acting positively, so he just stood aside and watched with a smile.
Liu Yin also smiled and said to Li Xue: "It's still an old girl who loves my mother dearly."
"Hehehehe"
Li Xuewu's smile made Li Xue blush a little, but she helped her mother stand up and tried on the shoes.
"It's so soft, look at the upper is really bright"
Liu Yin boasted, then raised her head and asked, "Your father has a pair, I have a pair, and Li Xue has a pair. How much did you spend today?"
Li Xuewu didn't dare to report to his mother. If he told the truth, his mother could walk to the store to return the shoes.
"Not much, isn't it the Chinese New Year, your elder brother and I are bothering you"
"Uh-huh"
Liu Yin nodded her head and said, "This sounds pleasing to the ear."
Li Xuewu took advantage of this moment to get away quickly.
"Mom, I have to go visit a friend, come back later"
"Come back for dinner?"
It wasn't that Liu Yin wanted to drag Li Xuewu home for dinner, but asked Li Xuewu if he could come back before dinner.
"I'll tell you later, it won't be too late"
While talking, Li Xuewu had already left the door.
When I walked to the inverted room, I saw Yu Li was packing the New Year's goods bought by Li Xuewu in the east room.
"Sister-in-law, after cleaning, come to the backyard and help me clean up, I have to leave later"
After Li Xuewu said this, he went to the backyard again.
Yu Li didn't pay much attention to Li Xuewu's words. She just put the lanterns and firecrackers away, and then went to the backyard to help Li Xuewu clean up the house.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw that Li Xuewu had already changed into the old military uniform he had returned from his job change.
"What is this for?"
Li Xuewu was packing his clothes in front of the mirror right now.
"About a friend, not far from here, said to practice wrestling"
Yu Li saw that the house was tidied up in the morning, and it wasn't messy, but the villain said so, so he had to come.
He stepped forward to help Li Xuewu straighten his clothes.
"You're just full, it doesn't hurt to fall."
"Hehehe"
Li Xuewu looked at Yu Li's appearance as a housekeeper, and said with a smile: "A master's trick, if you click it, you can still kill him."
After explaining a sentence, he pointed to the shoe box on the desk and said, "I bought it for you, try to see if it fits."
"What?"
Yu Li didn't expect that this person actually bought something for her. It looked like a pair of shoes, but she still couldn't help asking.
"Open it and have a look and you'll know."
Li Xuewu packed his clothes, turned around and was about to leave.
Yu Li went to the desk and opened the box, and saw a pair of black shiny low-heeled leather shoes in the box.
"Ah~ it's leather shoes!"
At this time, no woman can resist the temptation of leather shoes.
If there is, it must be a woman you can't get.
Yu Li looked up at Li Xuewu in surprise, and asked, "Did you buy it for me?"
Li Xuewu turned around and said with a smile: "Then can you buy it for me?"
"You are bad~"
Yu Li came over and threw herself into Li Xuewu's arms.
This was the first time that Yu Li dared to get so close to Li Xuewu during the day.
Li Xuewu patted Yu Li on the back with a smile and said: "Go home and have a look when you are young, and use the money I gave you."
"No, that's money for you to buy supplements"
Li Xuewu was also afraid that the white gauze curtains would not be able to block his sight, so he patted Yu Li on the shoulder and said, "I'll give it to you later."
While speaking, Li Xuewu walked to the entrance and put on yellow rubber shoes.
"Don't bring my meal tonight, maybe what time it will be"
"Learning martial arts"
Yu Li took a few steps forward, put her arms around Li Xuewu's head and kissed him.
Li Xuewu was surprised by Yu Li's initiative, and responded with a smile.
After a while, the two parted with some panting.
"Try the shoes, the shoe size should be right, I have to hurry, otherwise it will be dark soon"
Seeing Li Xuewu go out, Yu Li certainly knew that Li Xuewu knew her shoe size.
It's just that there is no equipment, otherwise Li Xuewu would be able to help Yu Li make a custom-made insole.
Technician 8's feet...
As soon as Li Xuewu drove out of the west courtyard, he saw Qin Huairu entering the alley with a stick.
He drove the car to the outside, stepped on the brakes when he got to the girls and asked, "Why are you girls here?"
Qin Huairu saw that Li Xuewu was wearing a military overcoat, as if he was about to go out, so he pulled the stick to touch the car and backed away.
"Isn't it the New Year's Eve, take him out for a walk, what are you going for?"
Li Xuewu turned around and took out the shoe box from the rear cockpit under cover, then turned around and handed it to Qin Huairu.
"A friend in Dongsi Liutiao invited me to practice wrestling. These are the shoes you asked me to buy. Let's see if they fit."
Qin Huairu stared blankly at the shoe box in his hand, wondering when did he ask him to buy shoes.
But the son exclaimed: "Uncle Wu, are you going to wrestle? Take me with you."
Only then did I realize that it was Li Xuewu's excuse, which was actually a gift of his own shoes.
"What are you going to do? Your Uncle Wu is going to wrestle, and you are going to wrestle too?"
Stick stick pulled the door handle of the jeep and begged his mother, "I want to learn to wrestle."
The expression on Qin Huairu's face was happy, how could he control the stick.
Li Xuewu smiled and asked the big fat face: "Why are you learning to wrestle?"
Stick stem said to Li Xuewu: "Some seniors always bully me..."
Before Banggen finished speaking, Qin Huairu asked nervously like a hen guarding chickens: "Who bullied you? Why didn't you tell the teacher? I'll start school again..."
Looking at Qin Huairu's appearance, the stick was a little nervous.
"hey hey"
Li Xuewu interrupted Qin Huairu's words, and said: "Boys can't use your tricks, aren't they spoiled?"
After saying something about Qin Huairu, Li Xuewu said to the stick: "It's fine to play with me, but it's not certain whether you can learn it or not. Another thing, don't bully people, you know?"
"Got it Uncle Wu"
Stick stem looked at Li Xuewu expectantly.
Li Xuewu waved his hand at the stick and said, "What are you doing stupidly? Get in the car?"
"Hey!"
The stick jumped up and down happily, walked around the front of the car and got on the jeep.
"Learning martial arts"
Qin Huairu is not worried that Bang Geng will follow Li Xuewu, but what is worried is that Bang Geng will cause trouble for Li Xuewu.
I didn't think before that after studying and practicing in the hostel for so long, my understanding of Li Xuewu's identity became more and more clear.
The feelings for Li Xuewu also have the taste of an authority.
Li Xuewu didn't care, but blinked at Qin Huairu with his stick on his back, and said, "Don't keep his meal tonight, eat out with me."
After saying this, Li Xuewu drove out of the alley and headed east to Siliutiao.
Qin Huairu looked at BangGeng talking and laughing with Li Xuewu, and felt sore in his heart.
Qin Huairu also knew that two women in the family would not be able to raise a man, but the conditions were like this, so what else could be done.
Seeing that Banggen and Li Xuewu get along fairly well now, I feel more and more that my choice is correct.
Don't mention Li Xuewu's help and arrangements for me, let's just say it's right.
Ever since she "mixed" with what her mother-in-law called "Li Er's Scar", the stick has relieved her worries.
It is also strange to say that Li Xuewu is not as good as Sha Zhu for the stick, and Sha Zhu is obedient to the stick.
As for Li Xuewu, he frightened and reprimanded him, and from time to time he even hurt his son.
It's even more common to fool your son, but it's better to follow Li Xuewu.
I just feel that Li Xuewu is more of a man than Shazhu, and I often say that a man has to be like Li Xuewu at home.
It's a good kid who knows what a man is, but it doesn't mean that he can learn from others.
If the stick had a father, he wouldn't be following Li Xuewu's example.
Qin Huairu held the shoebox in his hand and looked at the entrance of the alley for a long time.
I also thought a lot in my heart, including the relationship with Li Xuewu, including the sensibleness of the stick, including my own independence and change now.
After Li Xuewu left home, Liu Yin began to torture Li Xue.
"How much did your second brother spend? Where did you eat at noon? Did he take you to a restaurant? Look at the smell of wine in your mouth"
Liu Yin pointed at Li Xue's forehead and said, "Your second brother left the family and went there on his own, and he just counted on his salary to save his wife's money, but you can't help but click."
Pressed by his mother, the inexperienced Li Xue had no choice but to sell his second brother.
After talking about the money to buy shoes, he said: "I didn't go to the restaurant at noon, I ate at an aunt's house."
Liu Yin was thinking about buying shoes again, but when she heard that she was eating at an "aunt"'s house at noon, she paused and asked, "What aunt?"
Li Xue recalled the miraculous experience in the morning, and said: "It is living in a large courtyard with guards, and living in a small courtyard within the large courtyard."
Li Xueyue said that Liu Yin, Li Shun and others were getting more and more confused.
"What kind of big courtyard and small courtyard? What kind of place is this?"
Li Xue shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but Aunt Ding lives in a small second-floor building in a courtyard with service staff and guards."
Liu Yin questioned: "Service staff? Security guards? Where do you live?"
"Oh, it's just Aunt Ding's family."
Li Xue nodded and said, "They live in their own house, and they still have a car. My second brother's car was given by Uncle Gu."
"Ok?"
Li Shun frowned and asked, "Didn't Xuewu say that the car was allocated by a scrap company?"
"seems not"
Li Xue shook her head and said, "The license plate of that car belongs to Uncle Gu. I met Aunt Ding at the entrance of Wangfujing shopping mall today."
Li Xue recounted from the beginning the experience of visiting Gu's house with her second brother today.
Everyone in the Li family listened to a personal name, things that were different from their own lives, and what Li Xue said, the family banquet.
Especially when Li Xue said that Gu Ning might be his second brother's partner, and his second brother even called Aunt Ding mother.
"this child"
Liu Yin complained, and then said: "Why don't you tell me when you have a partner? I changed my mind, and I haven't seen my in-laws yet. What's this called? Isn't it telling people that we are being rude?"
Li Shun still frowned thinking about the environment of the Gu family that Li Xue had mentioned.
From Li Xue's statement, Li Shun could still hear something was wrong, but he didn't say it in front of Liu Yin.
"Let's ask after Xuewu comes back, maybe the child has his own ideas."
Seeing what Li Shun said, Liu Yin could only put it down temporarily, but the movement of looking out from time to time still exposed Liu Yin's worry.
"What does that Gu Ning look like?"
Seeing his old lady looking at him again, Li Xue knew that his second brother's four toys and leather shoes were not for nothing.
"Um……"
Li Xue thought about Gu Ning's appearance, and then said: "It's very tall, almost as high as my second brother's ear."
"and then?"
Li Xue nodded and said, "He has a good-looking forehead, oval face, big eyes, and double eyelids."
Li Xue has never been exposed to the problem of describing people, unlike these old ladies in the courtyard.
The vocabulary must not be as good as Li Xue's, but to describe people is analogy plus metaphor, and the rhetorical techniques make writers feel ashamed.
Listening to her daughter's description, Liu Yin was also like a kitten scratching her heart, she pulled Li Xue and asked in a low voice, "Where is your sister-in-law?"
"Ok?"
Li Xue stared at her mother with wide eyes, is this comparable?
Hell mode?
Looking at the sister-in-law who was reading in the south room, Li Xue also replied in a voice that could be heard by two people: "It looks much better."
"Um"
Now Liu Yin is satisfied, that's right, if you can't describe it, you can compare it.
Li Xue said in a low voice: "You are easy-going, you don't like to talk, you are tall and wearing a girly coat, you can stand at attention."
"Uh-huh"
Liu Yin was more satisfied now, and asked in a normal voice: "Do you know what their family does?"
Li Xue frowned and thought for a while and said, "The service staff called Aunt Ding Editor Ding, so she should be an editor, right?"
"you child"
Liu Yin smiled and said to Li Xue: "What else can an editor be? What about the others?"
Li Xue replied: "Gu Ning and her sister-in-law are both doctors, I heard my brother call, that..."
Li Xue hesitated for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't know what Uncle Gu does."
Just what Li Xue said is enough for everyone in the Li family to imagine.
"Do you see that the two of them are dating?"
Li Xue shook her head and said, "I don't know how to read it."
Liu Yin complained: "You child, you are very smart, you just talk to each other and hold hands."
"how is this possible"
Li Xue shook her head and said, "I asked my second brother when I came out, and my second brother said it wasn't counted."
"Oops~"
Liu Yin sighed, and said: "Talk about this second child. If you want to find a partner, you have to look for it when you are young. There are a lot of messes. But when you reach a serious age, you start to have trouble again."
The old lady put Li Shu into the car, slowly pushing and coaxing her.
"Wait until the child comes back and ask again. It's useless to be anxious now. The second boy has a good idea, so don't miss it."
After hearing what the old lady said, Liu Yin stopped talking about it.
Li Xue was liberated.
Seeing that the mother no longer asked herself, she immediately wanted to leave with the four dolls in her arms.
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing that her daughter was about to leave again, Liu Yin asked a question.
Li Xue turned her head and said, "I'll put the doll at my second brother's house, but I'm afraid Li Shu will drop it at our house."
"It's like a treasure"
Liu Yin smiled and said to her daughter: "Go."
Li Xue responded and went to the backyard.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Yan Xiecheng's daughter-in-law leaving with a shoebox.
"sister in law"
Li Xue greeted her, then looked at the shoebox in Yu Li's hand.
A little familiar.
Seeing Li Xue looking over, Yu Li said unnaturally: "Come play with your second brother, just stay here, I'll be back"
After saying this, Yu Li hurriedly went out the door by mistake with Li Xue.
Li Xue hugged her doll and looked back at Yu Li, muttering in doubt, "Why are you guilty?"
After muttering this, he entered the house and hid his doll in the tea cabinet in Li Xuewu's living room.
Yu Li was holding the shoebox in her hand as if she was holding red-hot briquettes.
Originally, she was thinking of putting it in Li Xuewu's shoe cabinet first, and waiting to get it later.
But just as I was about to put it away, Li Xue came in, so I had to come out with the shoebox.
What was quite uncomfortable was that Li Xue stared at him for a while, as if someone was staring at him all the time.
Hey, how about Qiaoer? Her mother opened the door for Qiaoer, and Qiaoer arrived home.
As soon as Yu Li entered the Moon Gate, she saw Qin Huairu coming in from the third gate.
Coincidentally, both of them are holding shoe boxes in their hands, and the packaging is not to say similar, they are exactly the same.
Now both of them are walking towards the middle courtyard, and they live next to each other, so the atmosphere in the courtyard is extremely awkward.
"Sister Qin"
"Hey, have you cleaned up the backyard?"
"Yes, just cleaned up"
"Yes, you are busy"
"it is good"
Both of them had a tacit understanding without looking at the things in each other's hands, and neither said any nonsense.
Yu Li went into Yushui's house, and Qin Huairu went back to her own home.
As soon as Yu Li entered the room, she put the shoe box under the bed, but she felt unsafe, so she put the shoe box in the cabinet.
Moving around, I always felt unsteady, and finally the shoe box returned to the bottom of the bed.
