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

Chapter 36: Building a house (please subscribe!)

When Li Yi returned home, he saw that the courtyard door was wide open and there were many people walking around inside. Oxen carts and carriages were coming in and out, some were pulling soil and some were pulling water.

It turned out that my father had already hired someone to help make the adobe bricks. Judging from the adobe bricks being dried in the yard, it was obvious that the work had been started for a long time.

After Li Yi tied the big red mule, he unloaded the cart, said hello to everyone and returned to the house.

Then Li Yi found the sugar jar from the house, and then walked out with a kettle of boiled water and a stack of ocean bowls.

"Everyone, uncles and uncles, please take a break and drink some sugar water!"

Then, he started making sugar water on the stone grinding plate under the eaves.

Although it is already 1980, supplies are still very scarce. Sugar can be sold for 1.2 yuan per pound at the supply and marketing cooperative.

The most important thing is that this thing can be purchased with tickets. The family does not have many candy tickets in a year, so this thing is really a good thing in the eyes of the club members.

When they heard that there was sugar water to drink, all the club members who were helping stopped and came over to get the bowls!
Li Yi is not stingy either. There are two large spoons of white sugar in each bowl. Add boiling water to the bowl. The sweet taste will come out immediately!

Taking advantage of the break, the men gathered together and started chatting!
"Brother Shankui, life is passing so fast these days. In the blink of an eye, Yi Wazi will build a house and marry a wife!"

"Who says it's not the case? A few years ago, I saw that kid running around in these crotchless pants, and now he's grown up!"

"Hahaha, Yi Wazi has been hunting for food since he was a child, and my small orchard has been busy for him!"

"What does that mean to you? It belonged to my family two years ago."

Everyone was talking about Li Yi's embarrassing things, which made Li Yi feel embarrassed.

But he couldn't say anything in rebuttal. After all, no one had wronged him.

Let’s not talk about his childhood. He has been the king of children in the village since he went to school. He leads a group of young brothers to this house today and to that house tomorrow.

It can be said that as long as there is a "special product" in the village, there is no one who has not been favored by him.

In recent years, it has become even more serious, from petty quarrels to petty theft. When someone mentioned this, he was embarrassed to stay at home.

Thinking of something to tell Tang Xue, Li Yi immediately said to Li Shankui: "Dad, I'm going to the educated youth center, you guys are busy first!"

After saying that, Li Yi took the things he bought for Tang Xue from the county and rode his bicycle straight to the educated youth spot!

These days belong to the slack season, and the team's production tasks are relatively simple, which is to use pigweed to clean the irrigation canals, so everyone gets off work relatively early.

By the time Li Yi came over, most of the educated youths had already returned and were bragging and spanking in twos and threes under the shade of the trees.

It is now June 1980, and most of the educated youth with connections or abilities have returned to the city.

Either family members found jobs for them, or they simply went to college directly. Those who stayed here were either irrelevant or incompetent.

This group of people is the most hopeless group among all educated youths. They can only wait for time and wait for opportunities.

Therefore, in Li Yi's eyes, these people appear particularly decadent!
And these people also looked down upon Li Yi. Seeing him whizzing past them on a bicycle, someone suddenly said sourly: "He's just a second-rate guy, what's there to be proud of!"

Immediately, someone echoed: "That's right, a country bumpkin can be beaten to death by a bicycle, virtue!"

"What do you guys have to argue with him? Do you think Brother Xu can do what he said? Can the mushrooms really be sold for money?"

"I think it will work. Didn't Xu Hong say that he has found a way to sell it? We picked so many mushrooms in the afternoon, and we can probably sell them for dozens of yuan at least!"

"A few dozen yuan, can it be that much?"

"Haha, do you know how much that second-rate guy paid those clay monkey dolls in the village for a day? If I tell you, I'll scare you to death. The highest one can get is five yuan!"

"Oh my God, if you only earn five yuan a day, you will have 150 yuan a month."

Li Yi ignored these people and drove his car directly to the dormitory of the female educated youth.

As soon as I came over, I saw Zhang Xinyao washing clothes outside.

After seeing Li Yi, Zhang Xinyao immediately shouted into the room: "Xiaoxue, your man is here to find you!"

When Li Yi heard Zhang Xinyao directly call him Tang Xue's man, he felt happy. This woman was able to get along with her and was a very particular person.

Tang Xue was cleaning up in the house. Educated youths like them, like ordinary members of the village, rushed to work early in the morning and usually didn't take a break at noon. Only when they came back in the evening did they have time to clean up.

Hearing Zhang Xinyao's words, Tang Xue knew that Li Yi was coming and walked out of the room immediately.Sure enough, I saw Li Yi standing not far away with a bicycle crossed, probably waiting for her.

Tang Xue now accepted her fate. She had lost her innocence. Although she received an order to return to the city, she did not dare to go home.

Since Li Yi is willing to take responsibility, and he has indeed learned well during this period, he should give him a chance and give himself a chance.

"Wait a minute, I'll be right over!"

After saying that, Tang Xue immediately went back to the house, changed into clean clothes and came out.

After arriving in front of Li Yi, Tang Xue looked at him and said, "How come you have time to come over and don't go to the back mountain to pick up those children?"

Tang Xue also knew that Li Yi took the children in the village to collect mountain products during this period. Anyway, with internal spies like Li Na around, Li Yi basically had no secrets in front of Tang Xue, unless even Li Na herself didn't know.

"No need to pick it up. Dongzi, Shitou and the others are here, so it won't be a big problem!"

Then Li Yi took off a small mesh bag from the handlebar, handed it to Tang Xue and said, "This is for you!"

"sandals?"

Through the mesh bag, Tang Xue saw that what was inside was a pair of plastic sandals. They were light yellow in color and had some metal accessories on them. They looked very beautiful.

"Well, I saw it at the supply and marketing cooperative today and thought you would look good in it, so I bought it!"

Tang Xue hesitated for a moment, but still took it.

"It's not easy for you to make money, so don't waste it like this in the future!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "How can it be considered a waste to buy something for my wife?"

Hearing Li Yi talk about his wife, Tang Xue's face suddenly turned red and whispered: "Keep your voice down, we're not married yet!"

"It's not a matter of time!"

Then Li Yi said again: "By the way, I came here today to discuss something with you. No, I should ask for your opinion!"

"What's the matter?"

Seeing that Li Yi said so solemnly, Tang Xue asked nervously.

"My family is planning to build a new house. I would like to ask what kind of house you want and what layout requirements you have?" Li Yi said.

"Hey, why are you building a house all of a sudden?" Tang Xue asked in surprise.

"I'm not planning to marry you. I was worried that using an old house as your wedding room would be aggrieved, so I built it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Tang Xue say: "I'm not aggrieved. Isn't it like this these days?"

"I don't care what other people do, but since I have this ability, I can't wrong you!" Li Yi said seriously.

Tang Xue's heart suddenly trembled, and she whispered: "Actually, you don't have to be like this!"

"I said I would hold a grand wedding for you, and I would marry you gracefully. I, Li Yi, will keep my word!"

"um. Thank you!"

"Tell me quickly, what are your requirements for the house, so I can go back and plan it?" Li Yi said.

"Can you find a place for me to take a bath? You also know that it's really inconvenient for us lesbians to take a bath!"

"No problem, I will design a bathroom!"

"Also, can the kitchen be made bigger?"

"Well, it's easier to make it bigger!"

"That's about it!"

"Okay, I'll go back and design it according to your requirements. This is our first house, and it must satisfy you!"

Then Li Yi talked to Tang Xue for a while, until it was almost dark, and then reluctantly left the educated youth spot!
