Reborn in the red age

Chapter 89 The father is kind and the son is filial, and they are happy

Grabbing the baggage from Qingfeng Li's hand, Li Hongmei shook the baggage downwards. Money rained from the sky, with various denominations, and fell everywhere on the bed.

Li Hongmei was shocked when she saw so much money for the first time. She stared blankly at her third brother, unable to stick out her tongue, and said tremblingly: "Brother Sansan, how did you get so much money?" ?”

"How rare, I did it the same way you did it," Qingfeng Li said casually as he sorted out the banknotes scattered on the bed.

Looking at the banknotes scattered everywhere on the bed, Li Hongmei's eyes turned red. She grabbed Qingfeng Li's arm and twisted and pinched it, crying and accusing:
"Li Laosan, you bastard, you know how I have lived these past year or so. I saved up money and sent it to you. When I ate in the factory, I only ate the cheapest food. Even a bottle cost five cents." I didn’t even give up the money to buy soda.”

"In order to make you live a better life in the countryside, you went to the black market to make money in fear. Today, you were beaten by your family. You have so much money and you didn't tell me. I will fight with you."

Hearing that the little sister had been living such a miserable life for more than a year, Li Qingfeng felt a little guilty. Faced with the little sister who rushed to tear her anger out, he could only avoid everything.

"Oh, please be gentle"

"Let go, let go, you'll scratch me until it bleeds."

"Hey, hey, who did you learn this from? Why do you still bite?"

After a lot of tossing, giving her money and tickets, and finally promising to give her a TV set and a bicycle after she got married, she was able to persuade the crazy Li Hongmei.

After chatting for a while and telling her not to go to the black market again, Li Hongmei was allowed to leave.

I slept uncomfortably just after getting off the train. I woke up after just over two hours of sleep. I looked at the time on my watch. It was still early. I thought about it for a while, put on my clothes and got up. As before, I jumped out of my house and jumped over the wall. In the county Looking for traces of the black market.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the public security crackdown on the black market has been aggressive. All the black markets in the city have been wiped out, and only a large black market was found on the outskirts of the county.

It's past two o'clock in the morning, and the black market is still crowded at this time. The New Year is about to come, and even though the country has allocated new year's goods, there is still a lack of various high-quality materials in the market.

This year is the first New Year after the fall of the four. In order to celebrate the new year, people still take risks and come to the black market to scan goods.

This time when I went to sell goods, I did not bring my own terrorist hood. Instead, I put on the rabbit skin Lei Feng hat that Ma Wenhui made for me. I put on a mask, took out various nuts that I picked up on the mountain from the space, and handed in three Mao’s entrance fee (black market prices increased during the Spring Festival), he set up a stall on the black market and sold nuts.

When the stall was set up, Li Qingfeng regretted it. No one had seen this stuff in the local area and didn't know how to eat it. Naturally, no one would buy it.

Just when Qingfeng Li was wondering whether to close the stall and go home, someone outside shouted: "The police are here, run quickly."

With this shout, the entire black market went into chaos. Qingfeng Li's eyes lit up. His supply of goods had arrived!
Before coming in, Qingfeng Li had carefully observed the escape route. Qingfeng Li did not rush to follow the flow of people, but slowly harvested the materials that others did not want.

Stick noodles, garbage, no need.

This bag of rice is very good, mine.

Canned fruit, canned meat, good stuff, take them away.

Hey, there is actually a small half of mutton here, which is very good. Let’s take it back and eat the kebabs.

After carefully picking up the supplies and seeing that the light beam was not far away from him, Qingfeng Li jumped towards the escape route planned in advance.

Putting his coat and bulky cotton clothes into the space, Qingfeng Li ran wildly with long strides, quickly throwing away the policeman behind him.

After lying on the bed, Li Qingfeng was in the mood to take stock of this harvest. After all, the Chinese New Year was coming soon. There was no problem in selling the goods he picked up this time for four to five hundred.

It's the end of the year and every unit is busy. The textile factory has to work overtime to complete its tasks. The police station and sub-district office are the busiest time of the year. There are a lot of things to do such as checking the blind people, census and so on. Father Li's The workload of the machine repair shop is not small either.

Everyone in the family has to go to work, and Qingfeng Li is the only idler. When he returned home, Li's mother felt sorry for Qingfeng Li and reluctantly let him work.

Mother Li began to change on the morning of the third day after Qingfeng Li came back. She gave Qingfeng Li 30 yuan and the family's food book and non-staple food book, and sent Qingfeng Li to queue up on the street to buy new year's goods.

Every morning, Li Qingfeng would get out of bed and take turns going to the grain store, butcher shop, vegetable stall, and supply and marketing cooperative to line up.

There are really many people during the Spring Festival. In order to stock up on new year's goods, long queues form at these places after four or five in the morning.

After not buying anything for two days, Qingfeng Li became so angry that he went to the black market to sell his goods at night and instead of going home, he lined up outside the butcher shop to kill these housewives.

This was a task assigned by Mother Li. What she was buying was the food rationed by the family. If she took it from the black market, wouldn't it be revealing her secret?

After not going home for three days in a row, Qingfeng Li successfully bought various new year supplies needed for his family.Mrs. Li was so happy that she couldn't help but praise Qingfeng Li for his ability. He showed off to everyone he met on the street. Her son was very capable. When he came back from the countryside, he not only brought a lot of food and meat to the family, but he also brought a lot of food and meat to the family in the middle of the night. I went to line up and bought all the New Year goods my family needed.

Somehow this matter reached the ears of Li Qingsong, the sixth child. He took his family's grain book and non-staple food book and ran over with his sister-in-law, asking Li Qingfeng to help line up to buy new year's goods.

That is to say, because the sister-in-law treats her brother-in-law well and is pregnant, otherwise Li Qingfeng will definitely throw the food cost in Li Qingsong's face.

After another three nights of queuing, Li Qingfeng bought all the new year goods that Mr. Li needed for his family.

When returning the grain book to Boss Li, Boss Li rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Well, third child, you see, your brother, I have never asked you to do anything, right?"

One look at Boss Li's expression and he knew what this guy wanted to say. Li Qingfeng stared at Boss Li with a cold face: "If you dare to say that you want me to buy New Year's goods for your father-in-law, look at my big casserole." Can my fist hit you in the face?"

"Uh haha, how is that possible? I just said casually, how can I let you buy my father-in-law's New Year's goods?" Boss Li's face froze and he laughed in embarrassment.

I am too lazy to talk to Mr. Li. He still has a lot of work waiting for him at home, such as pasting the roof, painting the walls, and cleaning the house.

Others had to go to work, and all kinds of work before the New Year fell on Qingfeng Li alone.

First, he went to Li's mother's workplace to get some newspapers to use on the roof of the house. Qingfeng Li was familiar with this job and had to do it every year. His skills had been honed for a long time, and he could paste the roof quickly and well.

"I am a painter with strong painting skills. I want to make the new house more beautiful."

After finishing the roofing, Qingfeng Li wore a hat made of newspaper on his head, held a brush in his hand, and happily painted the walls of his home while humming a tune.

While moving the wooden wardrobe in his room, there was a clatter and a ball wrapped in newspaper fell from the back of the cabinet.

He picked up the things that fell on the ground and opened them. They were filled with banknotes of different denominations. Looking at these banknotes, Qingfeng Li's eyes narrowed. He didn't even have to think about who put them here.

After a quick count, I found a total of more than five yuan. Comrade Li has made a good harvest over the past year, and he has actually saved so much private money.

After thinking for a while, Li Qingfeng felt that it would be better not to give this money to Li's mother, as this would affect family harmony.

Thinking that Comrade Lao Li usually likes to drink, I will use the money to buy two bottles of Fenjiu from the supply and marketing cooperative and give them to Comrade Lao Li later.

He just went ahead and painted all the houses at home. Li Qingfeng went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two bottles of Fenjiu. After thinking about it for a while, he added another thirty cents and bought two packs of peonies with filters, which were also his own. Filial piety.

There are tobacco and alcohol, let’s live together.

Comrade Lao Li came back from get off work in the evening. He didn't notice the white walls that had just been repainted at home. His eyes were attracted by the cigarettes and alcohol on the square table, and he shouted: "What's going on? If you buy such good cigarettes and alcohol, you have to give them away." people?"

Mother Li, who was cooking in the kitchen, came out when she heard Father Li's shout and said with a look of relief: "The third child bought this from the supply and marketing cooperative in the afternoon. She said it was for you. Our third child went to the countryside." Over the past year or so, I have really grown up.”

"Hey, I have really grown up now. I can still think of honoring him. Not bad, not bad. He is much better than our boss."

Hearing that it was for his third son to honor him, Father Li's face was as happy as a chrysanthemum. He happily opened a pack of peonies and started smoking. The son's cigarettes were comfortable to smoke and were more economical than his own. too much.

Qingfeng Li also walked out of the room at this time and looked at Father Li who was smoking with a smile: "Dad, is this peony good to smoke?"

With a happy smile on his face, Father Li walked to Qingfeng Li and patted Qingfeng Li's shoulder and said, "Well, it's nice to smoke. I'm very happy that you have such filial piety, but I can't buy such good cigarettes next time." Yeah, all you earn in the countryside is hard-earned money, it’s too expensive.”

"It's okay. What's the point of giving you some good cigarettes and some good wine? Besides, I didn't spend much money."

"What do you mean you didn't spend a lot of money? Two bottles of Fenjiu and two packs of peonies cost six yuan a piece. Why is this money not a small amount of money? Your dad, I know you have a filial heart. Don't spend any more in the future."

"Fine"

Seeing that Li's father was so happy, Li Qingfeng felt relieved and turned back to his room.

Qingfeng Li had not finished smoking a cigarette when he returned to the house. Father Li rushed in in a panic, moved the closet and took a look, then looked at Qingfeng Li with a dark face: "What's behind the closet?" Where are the things?”

"Is it easy to smoke?"

Thinking of what his son had just said, Father Li suddenly understood everything. He shouted "You are a traitor" and started to pull the belt around his waist.
