A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 87 Little Brother Li’s new clothes

If your heart is focused on one thing, time will fly by.

Li Xiang had never felt that learning was a happy thing before.

Read a book, learn a little knowledge, and master a skill.

Let him, who is lacking in spiritual world in this era, feel satisfied from the inside out.

Looking at the game console that was signed in today.

"cut"

Li Xiang showed a disdainful expression, but he only felt funny in his heart.

Games can only make people corrupt. He just wants to learn now. Anything that stops him from learning is a sugar-coated bullet of capitalism.

With this thought in mind, Li Xiang mercilessly threw the game console back into the space without any hesitation.

However, the truth of the matter is really this.

On the way back, we met a big tree.

Li Xiang walked up to him, looked up and down, left and right, and nodded with satisfaction.

Bang~bang~bang~bang~bang~
Punch after punch landed on the tree trunk.

Li Xiang cursed Cao Cao Cao!
In this era, what is the use of giving a little bully a learning machine? How many years will it take to wait for a suitable TV set?

. . . . . .

The first time I go home in the new semester has been half a month since I left home last time.

This time Li Xiang returned home with good news.

I haven't been home for so many days, so I was busy with this matter at school, following the teacher in meetings and giving explanations on stage.

"So, brother, your allowance will become 30 yuan in the future, and it will be given every month?" The eldest sister opened her eyes wide and confirmed.

"Yes," Li Xiang answered his eldest sister as he took the porridge handed over by his mother.

"Is it because you write and draw at home every day?" Mother Li handed over another white-flour steamed bun and asked him.

"Yes." Li Xiang answered briefly, took a bite of the steamed bun, and took a sip of porridge.

In the past, the food at home was not as good as the school cafeteria, but now it is the other way around. The cafeteria is not as good as the food at home.

In addition to occasionally improving the food at the teacher's house, Li Xiang usually eats cabbage and potatoes just like his classmates.

If it weren't for the chili sauce Xu Wei brought to add some flavor, he wouldn't be able to stand it anymore and ran home.

Li wanted to act calm, but the news made his family extremely happy.

30 yuan, some people who have been working for several years may not be able to get such a salary.

"The money came in time. Two days ago, Hai brought news that the cabinets and tables were ready. I did the math and deducted the money for the furniture and the wedding money for Er Hai. In the past few months, I don’t have much left, so if there’s an emergency, your extra allowance can help, and we won’t go out to borrow it again.”

Mother Li combined the money she had to spend recently and made a clear calculation of the savings in her hand and the allowance her eldest son had not yet received.

She was also implicitly reminding Li Xiang not to spend all the allowances he received like before.

He understands all these things, but at this stage, he really can't 100% guarantee that he can save money.

When I received 18 yuan before, I had nothing left every month.

Later, I got five yuan more during my internship, but there was still nothing left.

I don’t know where the money was spent, and I didn’t see anything added.

Li Xiang said good, then changed the subject and asked Li's mother: "When the furniture is packed, when will we bring it back? I don't think the box can fit in it. It's not a problem if the things are always left on the ground."

"It's all decided. Uncle Qi and the others will deliver it next week. The coats for Erhai will also be ready by then, just in time for them to take them back."

The coat that Li's mother was talking about was the fabric that Li wanted to touch.

The mother and son's guess at the beginning was right. The uncle's family actually gave the fabric of the second cousin's new wedding clothes to Li Xiang.

Li didn't think how he could let his second cousin wear patched clothes to get married, so he tried to find some cloth to buy with cloth tickets.Later, Mother Li felt that it was a pity that such good cloth should be made into the style worn by the countryside, so she decided to cut it herself and make it into people's clothing.

Erhai is too tall and strong, and the fabric used to make a set of clothes for ordinary people is enough.

At this point, he only has enough to make a coat. The extra fabric can't be put up or down, so it's not enough for adults.

Now it was Little Brother Li's turn to come forward. Mother Li used the remaining fabric to make him new pants. These were one of the few new clothes in his eight-year-old life.

The trousers are simple in style, and Mother Li made them first.

On the day it was ready, Little Brother Li came back from school and couldn't wait to put it on and show it off everywhere.

Because his family repeatedly warned him not to talk nonsense outside.

He also learned a little better.

Although he didn't show off blatantly, Li Xiaodi didn't do anything low-key either.

When his friends invited him to play games, he pretended to be embarrassed and refused.

"These are new pants. If there is dust on them, my mother will beat me when I get home."

As he said that, he patted his legs a few times, trying to get rid of the non-existent dust.

Among the group of children he spoke to, some of the monks Zhang Er were confused.

There is nothing wrong with rolling hoops, but it's not like other games where you just lie down on the ground with all your energy.

But Li Xiaodi's careful care of clothes only lasted for the first one or two days.

After this point, when it's time to roll on the ground, just roll on the ground, and if your hands are dirty, just rub them on your clothes a few times.

Within a few days, the new clothes were treated the same as the old clothes.

The eldest sister's new clothes were worn an unknown number of days earlier than him, and they still look brand new.

In order to wash away the dirt that Li didn't know where, his pants were only soaked a few times, and the original military green color turned white due to the rubbing.

Mother Li would recite it every time she washed.

It would be a waste to make new clothes for Little Brother Li, so he can only wear his brother's and sister's old clothes.

. . . . . .

On this day, Uncle Li's family put the furniture on a cart and dragged it up from the countryside.

This walk was slow, starting from home early in the morning and arriving at around four in the afternoon.

On the cart, in addition to cabinets and tables, there are four square stools and two low chairs.

These things piled the cart full, and the father and son took turns all the way, but they were very tired.

When Li Xiangjia arrived, the three of them drank a pot of water.

The neighbors in the yard gathered around these pieces of furniture and praised them non-stop.

This means that the styles are good-looking and they are all auspicious patterns.

That said, the board is good and can be used for ten to twenty years.

After the uncle and his son had rested, the neighbors were still looking at the furniture.

Even if they want to move furniture into the house, they can't do it.

In the end, Mother Li shouted loudly and asked everyone to give way, and then they dispersed.

Among the neighbors, some were just watching the fun, but some were really interested.

The furniture was moved into the house, and many people were still asking Mother Li about the price of the furniture.

I also want to order furniture.
