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

Chapter 3 Li Yi’s Wish List (Please watch the new book!)

It was already past ten o'clock in the morning after discussing the marriage. Li Shankui and his wife were thinking about the beans in the field. After leaving Li Na to take care of Tang Xue, the old couple hurried to work in the fields.

Tang Xue always felt a little weird when she stayed at Li's house, but she was too embarrassed to go back to the educated youth center for fear that others would say she was inappropriate.

In desperation, Li Na had no choice but to accompany her to the back mountain to relax!
Soon, Li Yi was the only one left at home. At this time, he had time to think about what to do next!
After going back to the house to find a piece of paper and half a pencil, Li Yi came to the big willow tree in the yard.

Spreading the paper on the big grinding plate, holding a pen and thinking for a while, Li Yi's eyes slowly became firm, and then he began to write furiously!
Ten minutes later, looking at the small 'list' in front of him, Li Yi showed a satisfied smile.

The list above is very simple:
Article [-]: Make every effort to prepare for the wedding, marry Tang Xue gloriously, and let her sincerely accept herself.

Article [-]: Make money to build a house and improve family living conditions!
Article [-]: Help Tang Xue get admitted to a key university!

Article [-]: Save the eldest sister’s life and avoid tragedy!
Article [-]: Take your father for a physical examination...

Slowly put down the pen in his hand, tear the paper full of writing into pieces, and raise it into the air.

Seeing the scraps of paper blowing away in the wind like snowflakes, a faint smile appeared on Li Yi's face.

Although he currently lives in poverty and lacks supplies, his heart is happy.

Unlike his previous life, although he had countless assets, he was so poor that only money was left. When he died, there was no family around him. The loneliness and loneliness were more terrifying than poverty.

Now that God has given him a chance to choose again, he will definitely live this life happily without any regrets!
As for right now, the most important and urgent thing is to make money!
The marriage was settled, but money was always a big problem.

Marriage in this era also pays attention to ostentation. Although you don't need a house, a car, a fleet of cars, a wedding company, etc., you are indispensable for wedding gifts and the like.

Tang Xue's bride price was only 88 yuan, which didn't sound like much.

But now an industrial worker only earns 27 yuan a month, and 88 yuan is equivalent to three months' salary for an industrial worker without food or water.

In rural areas, you may not be able to save so much money in one year.

In addition, if the family can afford it, they should buy three things for the bride, namely a bicycle, a sewing machine, a watch and a radio.

Although from the perspective of future generations, these are ordinary objects, in this era, they are indeed the highest-end household items that ordinary people want to own.

At the same time, "three turns and one ring" is not only the highest wealth that ordinary people can have in this era, but also one of the important criteria for most women to choose a spouse.

If any family can produce "three turns and one ring", the matchmaker will trample the threshold of his house.

Tang Xue is from the city herself, and marrying Li Yi, a rural girl, is to get married. For this reason, she has to give up her qualifications to return to the city, and she has lost her virginity inexplicably, so this marriage will inevitably be criticized.

To silence the villagers, the best way is to hold the wedding in a glamorous manner, letting everyone see that Tang Xue married into the Li family not out of necessity, but because she had good vision.

When she married into the Li family, she didn't give up her comfortable life in the city to endure hardships in the countryside, but came to enjoy the blessings.

Therefore, although his father Li Shankui only agreed to buy one watch for Tang Xue, Li Yi was determined to buy all three watches.

Of course, items that can be regarded as family wealth are of great value. Take bicycles for example. Each one costs at least 120 yuan, and it is purchased with a ticket. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

If you want to buy all three switches and one ring, you will need at least 400 yuan. If you want a big brand, you may not be able to buy even [-] yuan.

Including the betrothal gift and the money for the banquet, it is conservatively estimated to cost seven to eight hundred yuan.But Li Yi knew the situation at home. If he could describe it in one word, it would be - poor!

In the past few years, there were many people in the family, and the children had to go to school, so basically no money was saved.

In recent years, as Li Yi's eldest sister and second sister got married, the family's situation has improved slightly, but with a prodigal like Li Yi, he hasn't saved much money.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible to rely on his family to make the wedding a success. He has to rely on himself for everything.

This is also the reason why Li Yi set the wedding for a month later. He had to buy all the three rings and Tang Xue's betrothal gifts within a month.

Li Yi doesn't have to worry about making money. After all, he has the memory of his previous life, so making money is not something he can easily do.

For example, if he remembered correctly, there was a general's tomb buried under the cliff behind the village, with a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry buried inside.

As long as he quietly opened the ancient tomb and took out some of the funerary objects inside and sold them, he would become rich in an instant.

But Li Yi doesn't want to do this. In his next life, he wants to make money cleanly with his own hands. He hopes that every penny spent on his family will be clean.

But how to earn 800 yuan in a month really requires careful consideration!
It was already past eleven o'clock. His parents were working in the fields and obviously couldn't come back to cook. The third sister was accompanying Tang Xue, so Li Yi decided to cook himself and make lunch for the family.

When I returned to the house, I searched carefully and found that there was only half a tank of white flour in the big tank where rice grains were stored at home, and nothing else.

Not to mention meat, even the most common eggs in rural areas are not available!

Li Yi knew that his mother must have taken the eggs at home to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for daily necessities.

Looking at the ingredients "scavenged" in front of him, Li Yi couldn't help but reveal a wry smile!
It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. His cooking skills are good, but they are all based on rich ingredients and complete condiments.

Just give him half a tank of white flour, and he really won't be able to deal with it!

I knew that materials were scarce in this era, but the lack of supplies to this extent was really beyond Li Yi's expectation.

After all, it’s already the 80s, and the coastal areas have already been opened up. Why are we still so poor?

How about steaming a basket of steamed buns and cooking a pot of porridge? This is what my mother usually does.

But considering that Tang Xue should have dinner at his house today at noon, this is the first meal his wife has eaten at his house after confirming their relationship, so she can't just make do with it.

Besides, it's summer now, and eating steamed buns and hot porridge at noon makes me lose my appetite just thinking about it.

Suddenly, Li Yi thought of a delicacy that can be made with flour-liangpi!
The hot summer can easily make people lose their appetite, which is tantamount to torture for foodies.

There is no shortage of solutions to this problem across the country, and the answer given by northerners is Liangpi.

The coolness of Liangpi determines its continuous relationship with the hot summer.

Under the scorching heat, what could be more appetizing than spicy and sour cold skin?

Thinking of this, Li Yi no longer hesitated and took action immediately!
