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

? A speechless night!
  The next day, at dawn, Li Yi was sleeping soundly with his wife in his arms, when the loudspeaker in the village rang!
  "Attention, young and old men in the village. To celebrate our Nianzishan Village's early distribution of money, and to give Yiwazi and Xue Yatou a clean break, the whole village gathered in the school cafeteria at noon today. The men are now gathering at the brigade headquarters to prepare for the pig slaughter. Sheep are slaughtered and women clean the school cafeteria.”

Perhaps because he was afraid that someone was too asleep to hear clearly, the notification on the loudspeaker rang three times in a row before it ended.

Li Yi looked at his watch, it was only six o'clock.

He turned around and was about to sleep a little longer.

He couldn't help it. He slept a little late last night. His upper and lower eyelids were fighting now and he really didn't want to think about it.

The reason why I slept late was not because I had an in-depth communication with my wife-in-law last night, but because I was bothered by my two children.

I don't know if it was because of the change of environment yesterday, but the two little guys just didn't sleep. It wasn't until [-]:[-] in the morning that they fell asleep under Jiang Xue's coaxing.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the yard, followed immediately by the sound of a big animal's hooves stepping on the ground.

As soon as he heard this voice, Li Yi knew that his father must have gotten up.

According to Dad's daily working habit, he must first take the mules and horses to roll in the open space outside, and then pull them to the well to drink water.

After coming back, he went to the well to fetch water.

Usually, he has to carry at least three loads of water (6 buckets) to meet the daily needs of his family.

Thinking of this, Li Yi immediately got out of bed and started to get dressed. He wanted to help his father carry water.

There was nothing he could do if he wasn't at home before. Now that he is at home, he can't let dad work so hard.

After getting dressed and coming out of the house, Li Yi saw Zhang Ziqiang, Zhou Wen and Zhang Feng all up and doing stretching exercises in the yard, apparently preparing for basic training.

Seeing Li Yi come out neatly dressed, Zhang Ziqiang immediately came up to him and said, "Brother Yi, do you want to go out?"

"Well, go fetch water from the well!" Li Yi said.

"Let me go, I know where the well is!" Zhang Ziqiang said.

"No, how can you do this kind of thing? It's not your job!"

After saying that, Li Yi picked up the pole on the window sill, hung up the iron bucket, and walked out of the gate.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Ziqiang and Zhou Wen immediately followed.

The well is not close to the new home, more than three hundred meters away.

It's fine if you walk normally, but if you carry two buckets filled with water, it feels like the journey is a bit far.

"Brother Yi, it's so difficult to get water at home, why don't you dig a well in the yard?" Zhang Ziqiang asked curiously.

"I would like to fight, but unfortunately the ground on the west slope is full of stone eggs. It is not easy to fight, and there is no water!" Li Yi said helplessly.

A few years ago, the production team planned to drill a motorized well here to increase the yield of the cultivated land here. Unexpectedly, it took several drill bits and half a month to drill more than [-] meters deep but no water came out.

Later, after professional exploration, we found out that all the molybdenum mines buried underground here were molybdenum mines. Not to mention that there was no underground water below, and even if there was, the metal exceeded the standard. Therefore, Li Yi did not dig a well in the yard after building the house.

After listening to Li Yi's explanation, Zhang Ziqiang said again: "If that doesn't work, just connect a pipe to your home. Otherwise, it will be too hard to carry water like this every day!"

Li Yi shook his head and said: "The water pipes are fine in summer, but it is too cold in winter. No pipes can withstand the freezing temperature of more than [-] degrees below zero."

Regarding the problem of difficulty in drafting water, Li Yi has no good solution.

Originally, the best way was to bring all the parents to live in the capital, but they were unwilling to do so unless they built a new yard next to the well.

But even if he was not short of money, his parents would not agree to this matter. After all, their family already had two yards, the old and the new, and they were really embarrassed to apply for a homestead from the team again.

While talking, several people came to the well.

I saw a lot of people carrying water. After all, there are only two wells in the village, and the time for carrying water is relatively concentrated, so there are naturally more people. But what surprised Li Yi was that the appearance of the well had changed. Not only were there dozens of large stone troughs, they were probably prepared for the big livestock in the village.

After all, there were so many cattle, sheep, mules and horses that it would not be enough without a water tank.

When he walked in, Li Yi was surprised to find that a water pump was installed in the well.

At this time, the water pump is continuously pumping up the well water.

Seeing Zhou Yang coming, everyone greeted him one after another, and Li Yi responded one by one.

Uncle Jin Kai, who was holding the water pipe, immediately asked Li Yi to bring the bucket over. The water pipe pointed at the bucket and "clacked". In less than a minute, both iron buckets were full.

Afterwards, Li Yi picked up the bucket and walked towards home.

After four trips like this, the large water tank in the house was finally filled. In addition, Li Yi also placed two separate buckets next to the pot and stove in the kitchen.

After Li Yi finished carrying water, Jiang Xue and the eldest sister also got up. The mother even made breakfast, but none of the three children got up.

After a simple breakfast, my father went to the farm to help kill pigs and sheep, while my mother went to the elementary school.

Li Yi did not stay at home. He drove to the county town with Zhang Ziqiang and Zhou Wen, leaving only Jiang Xue and her eldest sister at home to look after the baby.

After arriving at the county seat, Li Yi went straight to the county bureau!

In the office of the county bureau's criminal police team, Li Gang was holding a regular morning meeting for the team members. Suddenly, a young police officer opened the door and walked in, then came to his side and whispered a few words.

Li Gang immediately stood up and asked the deputy captain to continue presiding over the meeting, while he strode out of the conference room.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his office, Li Gang saw Li Yi and immediately said happily: "Brother Li Yi, when did you come back?"

After seeing Li Gang, Li Yi was also very happy and immediately said with a smile: "I just came back yesterday afternoon, and I'm here to see you today!"

"Hahaha, I love to hear that!"

Then Li Gang opened the door of the office and said at the same time: "Come in quickly!"

After entering the house, Li Gang poured water for Li Yi and said, "I heard Brother Wang talk about you yesterday, but I didn't expect you to come today!"

"Hahaha, I can't stand reading Tao!"

Then Li Yi said again: "By the way, is Brother Wang in the county seat now?"

After placing the water glass in front of Li Yi, Li Gang said again: "No, he is still in Ning City. I was on the phone with him!"

"I heard that Brother Wang said that he was going to be transferred to the capital. You all have left, and I am the only one left here. Alas!"

"Hey, you also want to go to the capital. If you want to go, I might be able to help you run it." Li Yi asked with a smile.

If it were anyone else, Li Yi would definitely not mind such nosy matters, but if it were Li Gang, Li Yi wouldn't mind helping him.

Like Jiang Longcheng, this guy is straightforward and loyal, and is a friend worth keeping with.

More importantly, Li Yi thought of Wang Anguo. He went to the capital alone, unaccompanied and without anyone he trusted.

If Li Gang could be transferred there together, it would be nice to have someone to take care of him.

Hearing Li Yi's words, Li Gang was stunned for a moment. He did have this idea and was thinking about asking Li Yi for help, but he felt embarrassed.

After all, this was a personnel transfer, and it was from a remote small county to the capital. The connections involved must be extraordinary, so he was really embarrassed to say it.

But he never thought that Li Yi would take the initiative to bring up this matter, which made him both surprised and touched.

For a moment, Li Gang forgot to answer
