Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 14 Li Na’s Misunderstanding (Please read the new book!)

Back in the village, the sun has already set!

When Li Yi, Dongzi and others returned to Li's house carrying several baskets of mushrooms, Li Shankui, his wife and Li Na were in a daze around the large amount of supplies purchased by Li Yi.

They had just returned from work, and as soon as they entered the house, they saw rice, flour, grain and oil all over the house!

Although I don’t know how much these things are worth, I think they can’t be purchased for tens of dollars.

They all knew that Li Yi had been busy selling cold skins in the county for the past two days, but in the eyes of Li Shankui and his wife, this was just hard-earned money. They really didn't know where Li Yi got the money to buy so many things.

Hearing the noise coming from the yard, Li Shankui hurriedly went out to check and saw his son returning with a group of child soldiers.

It can be guessed from the large baskets carried that these half-grown men must have gone to the mountains to pick mushrooms again.

He helped carry several baskets of mushrooms into the house. After the young men left, Li Shankui called Li Yi into the house.

Sitting next to the stove, Li Shankui pointed to the rice, flour, grains and oils on the ground, and said with a serious expression: "Did you get these things back?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes!"

"That's a lot of money, right? Where did you get so much money?" Li Shankui asked in a deep voice.

Li Yi knew what his father was worried about, and immediately said: "It did cost a lot of money, but I earned it all!"

Before Li Shankui could speak, Li Na on the side couldn't help but said: "Li Yi, do you think we are all fools? You only went out to set up a stall for two days in total, how can you earn so much money?"

Li Yi didn't blame the third sister for not believing in him. The main reason was that he had done too many bad things in the past, and every time he made a mistake, his family had to wipe his butt.

"Of course you can't earn so much just by setting up a stall, don't you still have money from selling mushrooms?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her mother Zhang Yuehong said in surprise: "Does anyone really want those mushrooms?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Not only does someone want it, but it is also very valuable!"

"How much is a basket worth?"

"basket?"

Li Yi said word by word: "7 cents per catty!"

The three people in the room were stunned, as if they heard something incredible, and even the cigarette pot in Li Shankui's hand fell to the ground.

Li Na was the first to react and said in surprise: "Is it really 7 cents per pound?"

"Of course it's true!"

"Tell me, how much did you sell that basket for yesterday?" Li Na asked excitedly.

"The basket yesterday was a little small, less than sixty pounds, and it sold for a total of 40 yuan!"

"40 dollars?"

Li Na subconsciously covered her mouth. Li Shankui and his wife were also filled with horror. Except for the heavy breathing of several people, there was no other sound in the room!

No wonder they are so shocked. Although the big guys have been better off in the past few years, the money they receive every year is still pitiful.

Three members of the Li family work to earn work points. In addition to the food rations they receive, they can earn up to 100 yuan a year.
Li Yi only earns 40 yuan a day from buying mushrooms, which completely subverts their perceptions.

"Then how much money did you earn from selling Liangpi?" Li Na asked again.

"More than 30 yuan!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Na asked excitedly: "In other words, you made a total of more than 70 yuan today?"

Li Yi nodded and said: "To be precise, I earned 71 yuan. But after I bought all these goods, I gave Dongzi and Shitou two yuan each, and now I still have 2 yuan and 33 cents left!"

While talking, Li Yi took out the money bag for change and poured all the money on the kang.

When they saw the colorful bills and coins scattered in front of them, Li Shankui and others felt that their brains were a little exhausted.

After the shock, Li Na suddenly stared at Li Yi and said, "I'll go with you tomorrow!"

"Row!"

Originally, Li Yi didn't want to take her there. After all, the policy on the individual economy is still unclear, and the risk of setting up a stall is still very high.

Although he kept a relatively low profile by setting up a stall in front of the sugar factory, there was no telling when someone would report him, so it was really not a good idea to bring her with him.But he also knew that if he didn't show her in person how he made money, his family would not feel at ease.

"Do you need to prepare some things now for the stall tomorrow?"

Li Yi shook his head and said: "It's not too late to prepare tomorrow. Everyone happens to be here. I have something to say!"

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yuehong looked at her youngest son and said.

"I want to propose marriage to Xiaoxue tomorrow!"

Li Shankui said while filling his tobacco pot with tobacco leaves: "That's right, etiquette must be maintained!"

Zhang Yuehong said: "If you propose marriage, you have to prepare betrothal gifts and other things, and you have to make an order!"

Li Yi immediately said: "I don't have enough gift money now, so let's take the money from home first. I'll buy the things for the marriage proposal from the county when I come back tomorrow!"

"That's fine too!"

Then Li Shankui said to his mother-in-law: "My mother-in-law, please go to Mrs. Zhang's house later and ask her to be the matchmaker tomorrow!"

"Row!"

After talking about business, Li Yi asked his parents and third sister to help deal with the mushrooms, while he made dinner.

In fact, rural people usually have a simple meal at night. They usually just boil some porridge and boil a few potatoes, or heat up a few steamed steamed buns with mixed noodles for lunch, whichever way they can make do.

But Li Yi knows that hoeing and watering the fields in summer is the hardest work. If the nutrition cannot keep up, the body will easily be exhausted.

In his previous life, his father died before he was 50 years old. In addition to feeling guilty for Tang Xue's death, it also had a lot to do with chronic malnutrition.

Therefore, as long as he has time, he will provide for the meals at home.

For dinner, Li Yi cooked fried noodles. This classic noodle is easy to eat, delicious, and nutritious. It is in line with the tastes of old farmers like Li Shankui and Zhang Yuehong.

Knead the noodles, roll the noodles, cook the noodles!

The whole process went smoothly, as if Li Yi had done it hundreds and thousands of times.

Boil the handmade noodles in boiling water and put them into a bowl. Li Yi spreads chopped green onion, pepper powder, salt and other ingredients with a thick layer of chili noodles on the noodles, and pours them with hot vegetable oil. On the seasoning.

When the hot oil is poured on the condiments, the hot oil boils, and the pepper noodles and chili noodles are cooked until the bowl is full of red light, and the aroma comes out with a "scratching".

After drinking a bowl of fragrant oil, everyone in the Li family was indescribably satisfied.

While she was clearing away the dishes, Li Na suddenly asked in a low voice: "Isn't this oily noodles what we eat here?"

"Well, it is a characteristic of Qin Province!" Li Yi replied truthfully.

"It's Qin Sheng again! You always tell me, have you been targeting Xiaoxue for a long time?"

"Uh, what do you mean?" Li Yi asked confused.

"You are still pretending that Xiaoxue's hometown is Qin Province!"

"I know, but does it matter?"

"Why doesn't it matter? The Liangpi, Roujiamo and the fried noodles are all specialties of Qin Province. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Do you dare to say that these Qin Province delicacies you learned have nothing to do with Xiaoxue?"

Li Yi didn't expect that the third sister would think like this, and he wanted to explain it, but after thinking about it, he really couldn't deny it, because it was indeed directly related to Tang Xue.

After Tang Xue committed suicide in her previous life, she was buried in Qin Province. Li Yi would go there every year to see her and the poor child who had not yet had a chance to see the world.

Sometimes, Li Yi would even stay in Qin Province for a while.

As I stayed there for a long time, I naturally learned a lot of Qin Province’s delicacies.

"Have you been eyeing Xiaoxue for a long time? You learned these delicacies just for Xiaoxue!"

Li Yi's silence was naturally regarded as acquiescence by Li Na. She seemed to have discovered something extraordinary and looked straight at Li Yi.

Li Yi, who was a little embarrassed by the third sister, showed a wry smile. This was such a perfect misunderstanding that he didn't know how to explain it.
