Reborn in the red age

Chapter 21 Hiding money in the crotch

After packing up his personal belongings in the house, he originally thought that he was going to the countryside and leaving this home. However, the day before he left, Qingfeng Li felt a little reluctant to leave. He subconsciously forgot that Li's mother was still there. In the yard, he casually took out a cigarette from the space and lit it.

Just when Li Qingfeng was puffing away in the room, Li's mother opened the door and walked in.
When their eyes met, Li Qingfeng panicked and put his right hand holding the burning cigarette behind his back in an attempt to cover it up, "Um...mom, why are you here?"

"Let me see how you are cleaning up. Stop hiding it. Brother Qi has already told me about your smoking. You are almost nineteen this year and you are considered an adult. You can smoke if you want." Li Mother glanced at Qingfeng Li who had a guilty conscience and said calmly, then came to the bed and checked the luggage that Qingfeng Li had packed.

Standing behind and watching Mother Li's back checking the baggage, Li Qingfeng felt his teeth itching with hatred. Boss Li, Boss Li, okay, okay, you said before that you won't sell me out, but who knew you could just turn around and sell me out? Okay, Li Qingfeng has taken note of this grudge, we will see.

Just as Qingfeng Li was cursing Boss Li in his mind, Mother Li checked Qingfeng Li's baggage and said, "You have brought too many things. You only need to bring summer clothes. You don't need to bring sweaters, woolen pants or anything else." There are so many things, don’t let anyone steal them accidentally on the train.”

"Well, I only bring summer clothes. What if it gets cold over there?"

"Can I still keep you cold? It takes more than three days, almost four days, to take the train from our place to the Northeast. There are so many people on the train. If you fall asleep, someone will just reach out and give you your things. If you don’t steal it, I’ll see what you do when the time comes.”

"Your cotton-padded clothes and trousers are still at home. It's cold in the Northeast, and the cotton I brought back is only enough to make a thick quilt. I'll try to get some cotton this month to make your cotton-padded clothes thicker. I'll mail you the autumn clothes together then."

Listening to Li's mother's nagging, Li Qingfeng thought it made sense, so he closed his mouth and watched quietly as Li's mother took some packed things out of the bag.

After taking out all the clothes that were not needed for the time being, Mother Li weighed the baggage again, then nodded with satisfaction, and then took out a pair of men's underwear and handed it to Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li, who took the underwear, was stunned and said quickly: "Mom, aren't these my underwear? I just said I couldn't find it. Where did you put it for me?"

"I took it away yesterday and processed it for you. I sewed a cloth bag inside for you. When you get on the train, you put it on and put the money in the cloth bag." Mother Li said and sewed the top of the underwear. He turned his pocket out and showed it to Qingfeng Li.

It is not easy for people to make money these days, and it is not convenient to communicate when going out, so they are more careful when going out. Sew a pocket inside the crotch to hide money is a basic operation, there is nothing surprising.

"Where did I get the money?"

Mother Li rolled her eyes at Qingfeng Li, took out four big coupons from her pocket and put them on the bed, as well as several bills. At a glance, they all looked like food stamps, and they were all national food stamps.Is it the original mother, or is she thinking about her own children? The local area is a county town, not a provincial capital city. The stock of national food stamps is not large. Li Qingfeng only collected more than 200 kilograms of national food stamps and almost emptied them. Of all the food stamps in circulation in the county, although these few food stamps are not many, it can be seen that Li's mother spent a lot of time and went to each house to find someone to exchange them, and the exchange ratio was definitely not one-to-one.

"Be careful when you go out. Don't be stupid and believe whatever others say. Save this money and don't spend it carelessly. No matter how difficult it is, remember to leave enough money to buy a ticket home." Use this money Before handing it to Li Qingfeng, Li's mother nagged a few more words worriedly.

Although the money was not much to Qingfeng Li, it was his mother's intention after all. Qingfeng Li solemnly accepted the money, his chest thumped, and he firmly promised: "Mom, don't worry. Your son, although I am lazy, I am not stupid. People outside can’t deceive me. I will spend this money sparingly.”

"Okay, if you can do your little sister's job, I'm not worried about you being deceived." At this point, Mother Li hesitated, briefly organized her words, and then said again: "Mom knows that place in the country. It's bitter. Many people can't bear loneliness. You are still a young man with a strong spirit. Don't mess around in the countryside. Your father and I will find a way to transfer you back in the city. If you get married in the countryside, you will never be able to do anything for the rest of your life. We have to stay there, remember not to find a wife to get married in the countryside."

Li Qingfeng understood the meaning of Mother Li's words, and summed it up in vulgar words: You must watch your crotch in the countryside and don't provoke local girls, female educated youths, waiting for the opportunity to return to the city.

Regarding this point, Li Qingfeng naturally expressed his attitude firmly and nodded heavily towards Li's mother, saying that he would never fall in love in the countryside.

Now it is 75, and there are still two years left before the college entrance examination is resumed in [-]. Li Qingfeng does not want to suffer in the countryside and come back when all the educated youth have returned to the city. He also wants to jump from his status as an educated youth by taking the college entrance examination. When you come out, if you really get married in the countryside, even if you pass the exam, you may not receive an admission notice.

People these days are simple. Mother Li felt embarrassed when she said these words in a cryptic manner. After seeing Qingfeng Li nodding, she did not dwell on this topic, but emphatically explained what happened in the countryside. Various precautions.

After finishing the instructions, Li Qingfeng walked out of the room and accompanied Li's mother to cook in the kitchen. Maybe because Li Qingfeng would take the train to go to the countryside tomorrow, Li's mother got off work early today and went to the vegetable market to buy a lot of vegetables. Come to see Li Qingfeng off, tonight's steamed buns were luxuriously steamed in a pot of white flour buns. The mother and son were busy working in the kitchen, cooking a table full of meals.

When Li's father came back in the evening, he saw the table full of food and said nothing. He asked Li's mother for a dollar, then turned around and picked up his own flask and went out to drink, threatening to accompany his two sons to drink some in the evening.

Not long after Li's father left, the two golden flowers of the Li family came back on their bicycles. When they saw such a sumptuous meal on the table, they couldn't help but scream.

Boss Li is usually the first one to come back, but today he was the last one. He didn't arrive until it got dark. But this time, Boss Li didn't come alone. He was accompanied by a beautiful girl carrying a satchel.
