Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 455: Get into a fight after returning from shopping

Han Li approached his mother mysteriously and was about to continue talking when Sister Han shouted from the yard.

"Dad, it's time for us to leave, otherwise we won't be able to catch the car in time."

"Dad, Mom, let's talk about it when we come back tonight."

"You kid, your dad is in a hurry to go to work. I'm not in a hurry. Please tell me in advance."

"..., let's wait until tonight."

When Mother Han was still about to say something, she saw Father Han bringing his son back to him, taking out two boxes of Peony cigarettes and putting them in his pocket, so the firepower immediately shifted there.

"My son brought back five boxes in total, so you have to draw two boxes today."

"My son bought me cigarettes, but I can't show them off at work."

The old couple quarreled with each other. They put the lunch boxes they picked up in their bags and went to work. When Han Li helped his father organize his clothes, he also helped him break down some dirt from his lungs.

Then the second sister and the younger sister went to work, leaving the three of them alone in the house and sat together for a while, Han Li said.

"Where should we go for a walk today?"

"Yesterday when we went shopping for clothes with my sisters, we found that there really wasn't much change in the four-nine cities that made us worried about not coming back in the past two years."

"Didn't my little sister say that the people's market in Dongsi is pretty big? Why don't we go there and have a look? We can't stay home all the time when we go back to the city. If you have any relatives or friends, we can You can also go and visit."

"Haha, where are the relatives and friends? Not only did those bastards cut off ties with our family and add insult to injury, but they also wanted to take advantage of our sisters. I wish I could strangle them to death. If my father hadn't had the foresight to secretly let us I don’t know what will happen if the two sisters go to the countryside.”

Yun Jingjing said this bitterly, causing Yun Yingying to start crying. Han Li took each of her hands into his arms and comforted her softly.

"Okay, those days have passed, and our life will only get better and better in the future. Then again, if you didn't go to the countryside, how could we have met together? I can't imagine if I didn't have the two of you. If I am around you, then my life will be very meaningless, and I will probably live in a state of confusion like everyone else."

"Brother Li..."

When the words are sweet, the feelings are deep. It is naturally self-evident.

The new environment and atmosphere are all new experiences. The only bad thing is that the bed at home is not as durable as the kang in Shanghe Village.

It makes a crunching sound after a few rounds, which is interesting to hear for a while, but becomes a bit annoying after a long time.
.
It was already past ten o'clock when Han Li took the radiant sisters out, walking in the alley and greeting the neighbors outside.

“Hi uncle”

"Han Li, when did you come back?"

"I just got home yesterday."

"Hi sir"

"Your kid is back. How long will you stay at home this time?"

"You have to celebrate the New Year no matter what."

"Have a good New Year, your dad won't have to talk about these things."

"Hi Auntie"

"Han Li, I just heard your mother said she was coming back. When did you get home? And who are these two?"

"Auntie, I just got home yesterday. One of them is my partner and the other is my sister."

Upon hearing this, the aunt pulled Han Li aside and whispered.

"Are you confused? Are you looking for someone in the countryside? Do you still want to come back?"

"Auntie, thank you, but they are also from Sijiu City. We are educated youths from the same village who jumped in line and will not affect our return to the city."

"That's good. I said these two big girls look upright and have the air of our country. They don't look like girls from the country. They turn out to be girls from the doorstep. Okay, you guys have a good eye."

"Auntie, you are busy. We haven't been back for two years. We plan to take a walk around the streets."

"Brother Hou, are you going?"

"Hey, who do I think you are? It turns out that your kid is back. You must go to my place for a drink tonight."

Han Li said hello as he walked out of the alley. This was more than what he said when he walked around Shanghe Village. There is no way this is the case in this world. If you don't take the initiative to say hello to others, especially the elders, everyone will They will say that your family is uneducated and so on.

Han Li took the two sisters to the People's Market in Dongsi Tiao that Han Xiaomei mentioned first, and then to the "New China No. [-] Store" in Dongfeng Market on Wangfujing Street.

Han Li had no shortage of money, so he paid for everything the sisters wanted to eat along the way, including ice cream, candied haws, ice cream, and ice cream. Han Li didn't let them eat until the eighth cup.

"I really can't eat anymore today. If I eat any more, you two will feel uncomfortable. If you want to eat, we can come over tomorrow to eat."

"Brother Li, but I still want to eat, especially when I think that I won't be able to eat when I return to Shanghe Village after the Chinese New Year."

"Then let's have another cup. In fact, this ice cream is relatively simple to make. I will find some raw materials and bring it with me another day so that you can also eat ice cream when you go to Shanghe Village."

Not only did they eat in the morning, the sisters also bought a set of clothes for Father Han, Mother Han, and the three sisters of the Han family. These days, the clothes are only available in three sizes: large, medium, and small, so there is no need to worry about not being able to wear them.

At first, the two sisters wanted to buy Han Li a pair of leather shoes, but they were uncomfortable and impractical, so he refused.So the sisters and Han Li bought two pairs of recently popular slip-on shoes. The shoes have elastic bands at the tops for easy putting on and taking off.

The most important thing is that these loafers are different from ordinary cloth shoes. The ordinary cloth shoes do not follow your feet and will easily fall off when you walk fast.

Because of the strong elastic band at the mouth of the slip-on shoes, the entire cloth shoe fits very well. You can run without running in these slip-ons, so they are very popular now.

This type of loafers is divided into two types: thousand-layer bottom and plastic bottom. The plastic bottom is divided into two types: brown-red and white. They are called white-edged loafers and red-edged loafers.

In this era, everyone thinks that white plastic is of high quality, while brown and red plastic is recycled and inferior, so these two colors of loafers are immediately divided into high and low grades as soon as they are launched.

Those government officials and young people would rather spend a dime more to buy white shoes, even if they know that white slip-ons are not resistant to dirt and need to be taken care of every day, they still want to experience this feeling of being superior to others.

It was already past one o'clock after they finished buying clothes. Seeing that the two sisters were still full of shopping enthusiasm, Han Li rubbed his own breasts and said.

"How about we find a place to eat and then continue walking?"

"Brother Li, what do you want to eat?"

"What do you two want to eat?"

"How about braised pork? There used to be a braised pork restaurant in front of it, but now I don't know if I should open it again?"

"Nowadays, as long as it is a state-owned restaurant, there is no saying that it will close down. Let's go there to eat braised food."

The three of them came here and paid for three portions of braised pork. Han Li had an extra portion of sausage, and the sisters had an extra portion of tofu.

Han Li and the others paid the money and took the sign to the chopping board master. The man fished out the ingredients, picked up a knife and cut them into small pieces. The tofu was cut into triangles that would not fall apart easily. Finally, he sprinkled chopped green onion and chive flowers on them, and poured them with water. Add chili oil and your stomach will immediately feel hot after taking two bites.

After eating, the three of them didn't want to move. The key was that they had nowhere to go.

The nearby Beihai Park and Jshan Park have been closed for a long time due to special reasons. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary and average people cannot enter them casually.

Then all that's left is to watch movies or go for a walk by Haizi. As for dramas, they don't come often. If you want to watch them, you have to wait for the opportunity.

The three people discussed it, bought some beef tendons and peas as snacks from the side, bought tickets and entered the cinema. They didn't care what was shown inside, the main thing was to enjoy the atmosphere.

Beef tendon peas, also called pea yellow peas, are a traditional snack in Sijiu City.

This kind of beef tendon peas is very simple to make. Just add five-spice powder and salt to the washed peas, boil them in water until they are about [-]% ripe, then take them out and let them dry for a while. After drying, the skin of the boiled peas will become wrinkled. It's called "Beef Tendon Pea".These peas are inconspicuous in appearance, but they are chewy and fragrant the more you chew them.

Not only the people of Forty-Nine City like to eat these beef tendon peas, but also the "Pseudo Demon Queen".

Due to its simple production process, beef tendon peas were an additional source of money for many poor families at the time.

In the early years of the Republic of China, there would be many children carrying baskets hawking along the street every season.

"The peas come—the smell of dryness—ah!"

"Better than beef tendon - peas!"

"Peas—please give me more!"

It is said that even the cross talk master Hou *** Lin Xiao sold beef tendons and peas for a long time because his family was poor.

At that time, the beef tendons and peas were sold not by the price, but by the handful. I would give you a handful for how much it cost.

Since beef tendon peas are relatively cheap, most families will buy a few handfuls when they encounter children hawking them. Those with children at home will feed them to satisfy their cravings, and those without children will use them to drink with themselves.

The beef tendon peas that Han Li and the others bought now were of very high quality. They were wrapped in straw paper in small bags in advance, and they cost just a dime for a small bag.

Han Li and the others waited for the movie to end and the sky had darkened. It was almost time to start cooking at home.

Han Li asked the sisters to wait for the bus on the side of the road. He went to the nearby grocery store for a quick walk. When he came out, he already had a large piece of fresh beef in his bag.

The three of them got off the bus and walked into the alley and started to say hello. It was a crowded time at this time, so there were more things to say. It was originally a good scene of neighborly harmony, but unfortunately a bad bug jumped out. .

"Hey, isn't this the only child of the Han family? How about going to the countryside to jump in the queue? Can you stand it? Is your temper still so stubborn? This is not good. Young people are different when they go out and at home, otherwise you will suffer again If you get beaten up, you won’t have so many good neighbors to protect you.”

"Haha. I don't bother you to worry about this. I heard that two of your three useless sons are going to leave? How about it? Can they endure it? Young people are different when they go out and at home. Don't be so mean. If you don't get beaten, you won't have any brothers to help you!
By the way, why haven't they come back yet?Is it because the work points earned from working in the fields are not enough to buy a bus ticket?Tsk, tsk tsk. That’s really pitiful and incompetent, unlike me who became a licensed doctor after I went to the countryside. When I came back, I bought several snakeskin bags of specialties for my family.

So instead of grinding your teeth with me, you might as well teach them how to be a down-to-earth person?Work hard and don't think about irrelevant things all day long. You can't even make enough money for a ticket home all year round. How embarrassing is it to say that? "
