Reborn in the red age

Chapter 7 The Educated Youth Office comes to your door

After cleaning up his acne in the alley, Qingfeng Li didn't dare to stay here too long. It was already time to get off work, and the whole family was still waiting for him to cook.

If I went back late and didn't prepare today's dinner, my original mother might still nag me.

Hurrying slowly, when Li Qingfeng appeared at the door of the house, his mother Hong Xingying had already prepared dinner, and his younger sister was carrying the prepared dinner from the kitchen to the yard.

Mother Li came out of the kitchen with a plate of steamed buns. She immediately saw Qingfeng Li at the door. She immediately frowned and said dissatisfied: "What are you doing at the door? Didn't you see that you were ready to eat? Why don't you come over to help? Are you?" Do you want to be an uncle?"

"Ah, come here, come here." After more than two months of the magic voice filling his ears, when Qingfeng Li saw Mother Li frowning, he was afraid that she would continue to talk. He quickly shrank his head and stuttered, and went to the kitchen to help. .

"You must have a keen eye. There is no work in the kitchen. I am at home every day. I didn't see that the vegetables grown in the yard are almost dying of drought. Why don't you go and water the vegetable field?"

Upon hearing this, Qingfeng Li quickly put down the soup pot in his hand, picked up the bucket, and filled the faucet with water to water the vegetables.

The little girl next to her saw Qingfeng Li being scolded by Mother Li, hiding aside and covering her mouth, laughing, and making faces at Qingfeng Li from time to time.

The vegetable garden in the courtyard is not very big. It is just a few square meters of open space where some garlic seedlings, cucumbers and other vegetables that are grown at home are planted. Qingfeng Li watered the vegetable garden without any further words.

While Qingfeng Li was watering the water, Li's father and the eldest son of the family returned home. The two had washed their hands and sat on stools in the yard, chatting about today's work while eating.

Mother Li is a good person. Except in winter, the Li family eats dinner in the yard. You need to turn on the lights to eat in the house. If you are outside, you can take advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun to see the food on the table clearly. Everyone You can save a lot of electricity at home every month. This is life experience.

Qingfeng Li was at the age where he ate the most. He hadn't even eaten enough at the state-owned restaurant just now. In addition, he had lost a lot of energy to deal with the pimples. Now his stomach started to growl again.

At the dinner table, Li Qingfeng was treated extremely differently. Tonight, Li's mother cooked scrambled eggs, which is a rare delicacy in the Li family. At the dinner table, Li's mother kept putting eggs into the boss's bowl. And he also put a lot of eggs in the rice bowl specially reserved for the second sister.

Qingfeng Li and his younger sister didn't make any money. After each of them picked up an egg with chopsticks, they didn't put their chopsticks on the egg plate again. Instead, they silently ate the cucumbers grown in their own yard.

Qingfeng Li on the side was drinking stick noodle porridge from his bowl with a numb expression on his face. The difference between making money and not making money was such a reality. Qingfeng Li had long been used to it.The economic base determines the superstructure, and efforts are directly proportional to rewards. In Qingfeng Li's opinion, this is a fair family atmosphere.

It is normal for the eldest and second eldest brother to go to work and earn money. After get off work, they don’t have to do housework. It is normal for them to eat well. It is also true that Qingfeng Li has no job and eats at home for free. There is nothing to complain about.
As for the money he earned in the black market, Li Qingfeng usually kept it a secret. At home, as usual, he did not dare to show that he was rich. He was afraid that his family would notice that he had an unknown source of income. How could he dare to take the initiative? Turn over income.

It is illegal to squander supplies in the black market, but any serious family will not allow their children to do this, let alone the boss is a police officer. If Li's father and Li's mother knew about this, it would be weird if they didn't beat themselves half to death. .

"Hey, the whole family is still eating."

While the family was having dinner, a middle-aged woman's voice sounded outside the courtyard. Everyone who was eating stopped eating and looked in the direction of the sound outside the door.

When Mother Li saw who the visitor was, she quickly put down her bowls and chopsticks and greeted him with a smile: "Sister Zhao, why are you here at this time? Have you eaten? Do you want to come in and have something to eat?" "

After hearing Mother Li's invitation to come in for dinner, Li Qingfeng curled his lips. Mother Li's words were purely polite. Food is so expensive these days. The whole family is still not full. How can there be any extra food left? Outsiders eat.

Under normal circumstances, no guests will come to your door for meals. If there is an emergency and you have to come, the guests will not stay to eat.

Sister Zhao is also a sensible person. Naturally, she will not take Mother Li's invitation to dinner seriously. She quickly waved her hand and refused: "No, no, I have eaten at home. I came here today to discuss something with you and Lao Li."

"That's it, then come in and sit down." Mother Li said and welcomed Sister Zhao into the house.

After Sister Zhao sat down, Father Li, who had already eaten, said calmly: "Sister Zhao came to visit today to talk about my children going to the countryside, right?"

Sister Zhao is from the local educated youth office. She is responsible for the work of sending young people to the countryside. Everyone in the Li family knows her. I graduated last year and was unwilling to go to the countryside. Sister Zhao often comes to my home to do ideological work for me. , the original body was very annoyed with her.

"Lao Li, you guessed it right. I came here today to talk to you about your family's going to the countryside. Hongmei graduated from high school two days ago. Now your family has two unemployed children. We really can't delay it any longer. "A group of educated youths are leaving in our county this Sunday. I think it's better to let the two children go to the countryside together." Sister Zhao gathered the broken hair in front of her forehead and said to Li's father sternly.

(The rural-urban policies vary from place to place. In some places, families with multiple children can only keep one child in the city to wait for job assignments, and the rest of the children have to go to the countryside. In some areas, it follows national standards, and a family can only Only one child needs to go to the countryside, and the rest of the children stay in the city and wait for job assignments. The policy in Li Qingfeng’s location is that young people without jobs must go to the countryside)
