My 1979

Since he was about to be discharged from the hospital, Li He asked Li Long to go through the discharge procedures. Naturally, he had to pay a fee for discharge. Duan Mei followed Li Long with a sullen face. Although Li Zhaokun was her father-in-law, he had more than one son. Why should he let her go? The younger son paid for it alone.

The daughter didn’t have to contribute any money, but the other son had to contribute. She couldn’t help complaining, “Three thousand yuan is gone.”

Three thousand yuan. If it was a few hundred yuan, she wouldn't say anything. After all, the eldest brother-in-law subsidizes their family a lot!

But these three thousand yuan are the hard-earned money that the couple earned by collecting scraps from dawn to dusk!

There is no time to sleep in the morning, and there is basically no time to rest at noon. After a busy day of work, it will be around 8 or 9 in the evening.

Although they had a lot of savings over the years, they lost three thousand yuan in one fell swoop. It would be weird for her not to feel heartbroken.

"Hurry up and shut your mouth. Don't make trouble when you have nothing to do." Li Long looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when no one heard him. He can obey his wife at home, but he can't tolerate her daughter-in-law looking down on him outside. "This Just pay for it and you call us. It’s not like we don’t have money, so why do you care so much about it?”

"What do you mean by this little money? It's like I haven't worked hard with you. Look, I haven't even had any decent jewelry for so many years. I can't even buy new clothes for the Chinese New Year. What am I trying to do?" The reason for saving money is not just for this family. Good guy, after all the hard work I do, you will become a good person outside." Duan Mei's voice unconsciously raised a few points as she spoke, as if she was suffering from pain. Feeling aggrieved.

Li Long was startled when he saw her looking like she was about to cry, but he didn't dare to disturb others. He said hurriedly, "Brother won't let us lose this money. Why don't you understand."

"Really?" Duan Mei asked in disbelief.

Li Long said angrily, "You don't know who our brother is. Think about when he has made us suffer. That is... even our house is the boss's money, and even the capital of our business is his." Yes. Why are you still like this? Can you please tell me something? You won’t stop all day long."

He was too lazy to talk about such shameless things, but his wife was too greedy, which made him very helpless.

"It's not like we have to work day and night on our own. Besides, you are tired of following him." Duan Mei was not convinced by Li Long's words.

Li Long said, "Yes, we can do it. But there are many people who can do much more than us. There are a few who live like this in our family. You stupid guy. Okay, don't say more. I can tell by his look that he has been tired recently." Very, don’t talk nonsense and let him worry again.”

Although Li He had cut his hair short, Li Long still accidentally saw the white hair on his head.

How old is he? How come his hair is gray again?

Duan Mei also said curiously, "Yes, why are you so haggard and so thin that I almost don't dare to admit it. Do you think you are really sick? It doesn't look like a stomach disease. It's a stomach disease." Can you be so thin?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Oh, by the way, don't blame me for not reminding you. It's hard to bring a girl back, so don't talk nonsense, or else I" Li Long couldn't think of anything harsh to say after thinking for a long time.

He met He Fang and knew that his brother had a companion, and he was very happy for his brother.

"What else?" Duan Mei raised her neck at him and sneered, "You want to divorce me!"

Li Long didn't know what to do. He knew that this woman was soft-spoken but not tough, so he sighed and said, "Then, can I beg you? Stop making trouble."

"You don't need to explain, I'm not a fool."

The couple argued for a long time before going through the discharge procedures.

But not all six people are willing to be discharged from the hospital. The old Li family has not yet given an explanation. If they are discharged smoothly, the old Li family may regret it. Wang Shuhu and Pan Guangcai were just dilly-dallying unhappily.

Pan Guangcai said, "Erhe, this is poisoning, almost fatal. If we weren't so lucky, we would have met the Lord of Hell."

"Brother Pan, don't worry. We will do whatever we want when we go back. We will never let anyone suffer." Li He also understood what these people were thinking. It was not easy for people to talk to him calmly!

No matter where he goes, he can't escape the word "reason". The key is to explain his own mistakes. Li Zhaokun's fake wine almost killed someone. It was a good thing that they didn't call the police. If they had called the police, Li Zhaokun would have been unlucky.

Although he also wished that Li Zhaokun could go in and reflect for a few years, this was his biological father, and at the critical moment, he still couldn't do it.

Wang Shuhu also wanted to speak, but Xitongcai interrupted, "They are all at the door of the house, door to door. Where can he Erhe run? If anything happens, let's go home and tell him. Don't you know Erhe's temper?" .”

Others were afraid that Li He would default on his debts, but Xitongcai was not afraid. Back then, Li He donated tens of thousands of yuan to the village without even frowning. His character was on display here, so there was nothing to worry about.

When everyone thought about it, this was true. They didn't believe Li Zhaokun, but Li He and the others still believed it.

In this way, everyone neatly packed up their clothes and left the hospital.

Seagate came over and said to Li He, "Our dean is looking for you."

"Then I'll go there." Li He sighed, owed another favor. Although the other party only gave him some care for He Jun's sake, it was still a favor, and it was a big favor. Such a large mass poisoning incident, if the hospital hadn't suppressed it, would have made the headlines in the newspapers, and then the city would be in a storm. When the police came to the door, how could Li Zhaokun be lying here so comfortably.

He found a fruit bag on the bedside table in the ward and randomly stuffed a few apples into it, and then asked about the location of the courtyard office.

The dean was a middle-aged man in his forties. He held Li He's hand and said, "Hello, Professor Li. I have heard County Magistrate He mention you a long time ago. When I meet you today, you are indeed a rare talent."

"Thank you. Dean Zhang, I'm really troubling you this time." Li He knew that his face must be ugly without looking in the mirror, and he couldn't be compared to a talented person. Even though I knew he was telling lies with his eyes closed, he still had to deal with it.

This is how the relationship between people is, repaying what is owed is concise and clear. To achieve sustainable development is to safeguard the common interests of everyone, and gradually it will become a circle. Zhang San can't borrow money from Li Si every day, and Zhang San himself has nothing to lose, and the relationship will definitely not last.

Dean Zhang said with a smile, "The main thing is that the matter is not big to begin with. If someone's life is really lost, it will be impossible to cover it up."

What he said seemed sincere and righteous. As long as things were within the scope of his ability, it was no problem.

Li He said with a smile, "Dean Zhang, thank you very much. If anything happens in the future, just say hello, but don't be polite. I'll treat you to dinner when I'm done here."

"Oh, no need to bother."

"No trouble, I'll ask County Magistrate He if he has time then, and we can all get together."

"I have always hoped to ask County Magistrate He for advice on work in person, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity." Dean Zhang said with great emotion.

Li He said calmly, "If there is a chance, there must be a chance. Dean Zhang, I won't bother you then. I will be discharged from the hospital today. It is a mess. I will go and make arrangements first."

"You go ahead." Dean Zhang stuffed the fruit bag that Li He had just put on his desk into Li He's hand, patted his hand and said, "You are one of my own, so you don't need to be so outspoken."

"It's just a thought." Li He had stuffed a thousand yuan into this fruit bag, so there was no way he could just talk in vain to find someone to do something for him. He still insisted on keeping the fruit bag.

Dean Zhang kept saying he was sorry.

Li He left the dean's office and found He Fang guarding the door. He was worried about how to arrange her, and he didn't have time to argue with Li Zhaokun about the fake wine. No matter how stupid Li Zhaokun is, there is no reason for him to commit a crime in front of his home. If he really wanted to sell counterfeit wine, there would be no reason for him to drink himself into the hospital and drag his biological father, Li Fucheng, in.

Li Zhaokun was obviously an unlucky guy who had been tricked. Besides, although he was generous with his money, he was definitely not that evil-minded or courageous. Li He was sure of this.

He Fang probably understood what Li He was thinking, "I'd better go back. I'll feel relieved after sending you here."

Li He shook his head and said, "Security is not as good as expected. I don't worry about you going back alone."

He Fang pursed her lips and thought for a long time before saying, "Then I'll wait for you at the hotel here. When you're done with your work, we'll leave together."

"Okay." He stopped looking at her, the smile on his face was a little sad. It's not that Li He didn't welcome He Fang, but that the villagers were arrogant and there was no name or status in bringing He Fang back. How could He Fang's face be so good-looking?

Wang Yulan agreed to let He Fang stay in a hotel. She was a real person. She didn't have time to clean the house, and she didn't have new bedding. Besides, it was a mess now, so don't scare the girl away.

However, the old lady disagreed. She whispered to Wang Yulan, "The raw rice has to be cooked. Do you want to marry a wife? If you want to marry a wife, it's up to me. People value Erhe, who cares about you?" That nest is new or old.”

Naturally, she was more thoughtful than Wang Yulan, and she could see more clearly that it was just right to be abducted home first, and it was a sin for such a yellow-flowered girl to run away from her eyes.

Moreover, Jiang was very old, so she could tell that the girl was willing to go, and her attitude still depended on her eldest grandson.

Wang Yulan took a look at the delicate He Fang, but she really couldn't bear to leave He Fang. She was instigated by the old lady again, and her heart was broken. That was it. She had long been worried about her son not getting a wife.

He Fang was held by one arm by Lao Nai and Wang Yulan, and looked at Li He with some embarrassment.

Li He said, "Grandma, grandma, let her live here. I'll take her back tomorrow."

Send it back?

It's okay if I don't mention this, but when I mention this, neither of the two women is willing to let go. Isn't this a cooked duck that has flown away?

The old lady said with a bluster, "Look at how this place is full of ignorant thugs. How can a big girl do it here? Don't worry, I don't worry either."

The son is a second-rate son, so naturally he can only make fun of the third-rate son.

Li Hehao said whatever he said, but neither the old lady nor the old lady could make sense.

He pulled He Fang aside, lowered his head and said, "That's wronging you."

He Fang smiled and said, "It would be wrong for you to leave me here alone."

Li He could only watch helplessly as He Fang was put on the walking tractor by the old lady and her mother.

What is this!

A group of people in the village seemed to be watching the eldest girl getting into the sedan chair, looking on in wonder. Even Li Zhaokun was looking silly and happy beside him. Li He glared at Li Zhaokun fiercely.

Li Zhaokun said, "Why are you staring at me?"

Li He ignored him, got on the trolley, and went back to settle the score with him.

Dazhuang drove a walking tractor, Li Long drove a walking tractor, and two tractors entered the village. Seeing He Fang sandwiched between Wang Yulan and Lao Nai, some naughty children started shouting loudly, Li Laoer has brought a new wife back, Li Laoer has brought a new wife back.

Li He's expression was as expected. I thought it was like this when he brought Zhang Wanting back for the first time. The house was surrounded by three floors on the left and three on the right. All the girls and daughters-in-law came to see Li Lao Er. What is your daughter-in-law like?

The smile that had just curled up at the corner of his mouth suddenly closed again. He felt sad, not because she didn't love him anymore, but because he could no longer trust her.

There is nothing lively happening all year round. The only lively time is when someone in the village gets married and a new daughter-in-law comes into the house. It is not easy for the villagers to let go of the opportunity so easily. Everyone had a great time watching this time. He Fang was tall and there was no need for everyone to squeeze in with their necks raised. They could see the appearance of their new daughter-in-law standing outside.

Some people were asking Wang Yulan for wedding candies, but the old woman calmly grabbed a handful from her bag and dispersed as soon as she saw anyone.

This was beyond Li He's expectation. When did the old lady buy the candy? He was too late to stop her. He smiled apologetically at He Fang, but He Fang nodded to him indifferently.

After the people dispersed, the Li family became quiet. Wang Yulan killed all the old hens that laid eggs, and Li He knew that she was spending a lot of money.

When He Fang wanted to start in the kitchen, Wang Yulan and Lao Nai both stopped her and kept asking He Fang what flavor she wanted. He Fang just said she doesn’t like spicy food. This was done for Li He, whose desire to eat chili was ruined again.

He Zhaodi stood at the door with a smile, and Li He became nervous for a while.

She just smiled at Li He, then carried two fish into the kitchen and said to Wang Yulan, "Auntie, I just caught them from the river. They are considered as extra food for the new wife."

Wang Yulan said, "Then calculate how much it will cost, and I will give it to you."

He Zhaodi said, "Auntie, I'm not that greedy for money. It's for the new wife. It's not for you. You should keep it, pack it up quickly, and eat fresh food."

The old woman smiled and said, "Oh, it's hard to catch such a big fish this season. You have to count the money."

She was mainly afraid of being criticized by He Zhaodi's wife, Zhao Chunfang, who was not a good person.

He Zhaodi waved her hand, "It's really not necessary. I just fished it out of the river and haven't had time to put it home yet. I heard that Erhe brought a new daughter-in-law and thought that your family would need more food, so I brought it to you." Grandma, I’m leaving first.”

As she left, she nodded and smiled at He Fang again.

She glanced at him inadvertently again, wondering why he was so thin, but his dull eyes rested on his thin cheeks, and to her she still had a gentle and compassionate expression.

But when I thought that it was too late, I felt like I was missing something.

too late.

Li He looked at He Zhaodi's back. She ran away and disappeared. He found a cigarette and lit it. As soon as he took a puff, he started coughing.

He Fang pinched his cigarette and hurriedly handed it to him, "I told you not to smoke anymore."

"I want to smoke."

Li Long moved a box of wine out of the house and said to Li He, "This is that kind of special song."

Li He opened a bottle and smelled it. There was nothing wrong. He tasted a little with his tongue. Although it was not a good wine, it tasted no different from ordinary wine. No wonder an old drinker like Li Zhaokun could say it. .

He Fang stretched out her hand, "Pour me some."

Li He poured some for her and put it in his hand. I saw He Fang's palms touching and rubbing hard for a few times, and then sniffed with his nose.

"Can you smell it?"

He Fang said, "No matter how bad the wine is, it always smells sweet. It tastes bitter, probably because formaldehyde has been added."

Li He asked Li Zhaokun where the alcohol was wholesaled from. Industrial alcohol can really kill people. "If you drink it and kill people, prepare to stay in the labor camp for the rest of your life."

"Isn't it all alcohol? I just thought the taste was almost the same, but I didn't expect it could make people drunk." Li Zhaokun didn't know what industrial alcohol was. Although he was not convinced, his attitude was pretty good, and he also knew how to drink it. Such a big basket needs to be handled by my son. If he didn't handle it well, Pan Guangcai and the others would really be willing to beat him up.

And he also knew the importance of this. If it weren't for his son, he might really spend the New Year in the labor camp.

Li He asked feebly again, "Where did that come from?"

"A friend I used to do business with told me. It cost me 600 yuan." Li Zhaokun couldn't help but feel dejected when he talked about it. This money was the private money he had saved over the years. This son wanted three years. Ten, that son wants fifty, how hard it is to save, it makes me cry when I tell you. Unexpectedly, his troubles were gone all of a sudden, making him really want to cry.

"Can we find someone?" If he could find someone, Li He would definitely not let him go so easily.

Li Long answered from the side, "I took Dazhuang to find a place, but he ran away long ago."

"Hey, accept your bad luck." Li He really couldn't scold Li Zhaokun as a child. He was not smart enough, so what could he do? He should also be glad that Li Zhaokun was not a businessman, and he had only sold a few bottles of this fake wine.

He still had to find a way to appease people like Pan Guangcai. After all, the fake wine they drank was bought from Li Zhaokun.

You will definitely have to pay for it, but how much you have to pay is up to you.

Li He went to Xitongcai's house first, and Xitongcai said, "How can I say this?"

He is also a party involved, but he can't say this. It's best to avoid suspicion.

Li He said, "I have no place to discuss it. If I don't discuss it with you, who should I discuss it with?"

Xitong thought twice before saying, "Then you believe me. Then I'll tell you. In fact, it's not a big deal, mostly just a headache for a while. Only your grandfather suffered, and the one who vomited was uncomfortable."

"He has a good drinking tolerance. He drinks too much, so it's his turn."

"So, if you give them two kilograms of meat and a hundred or dozens of yuan, they should be satisfied. As for me, it doesn't matter. Just pay me two bottles of wine, and you are not allowed to take any more. Give me that special song.”

Li He said with a smile, "It should be the same. It's just that more than a hundred yuan is too little."

Xitongcai smiled and said, "Actually, you can be discharged from the hospital on the same day. It's just that they insist on waiting for you to come back. I have been moldy for a long time, but I can't tear them down. At this stage, every day in the hospital is delicious It tastes good, and it’s not bad for your brother to give us anything. So, they should be satisfied.”

Li He thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll give you 500."

Xitong stretched out his thumb and said with a smile, "You have enough wine. But others should regret not buying your father's wine."

After saying this, both of them laughed.

After returning home, Li He put the money into Li Zhaokun's hand, and then took Li Zhaokun to deliver the money door to door.

Li Zhaokun sighed as soon as he got home after delivering the gift. The two thousand yuan was delivered through his hands.

"Hey, after adding the capital, 2,600 is gone."

Duan Mei, who never cared about Li Zhaokun, suddenly interjected, "It cost 3,000 to be hospitalized. In this way, 5,600 is gone."

Li Zhaokun sighed heavily again. The purpose of this sigh was to cover up his embarrassment. Anyway, he had no money to pay back to his son, so he could only consider his son to be unlucky.

Li He went back to the house to get a wad of money, and threw it to Li Long without counting it carefully, "Take it."

Li Long only ordered 1,500 yuan, and the rest had to be returned to Li He, "Just split it evenly."

"That's it. Just keep it for yourself." Li He dropped the money, stood up and went to the kitchen, "Mom, the food is ready."

In the kitchen, in addition to Lao Nai and Wang Yulan, two aunts also came to help. While chatting, they did not forget to point at He Fang outside.

Duan Mei inadvertently glanced at He Fang who was picking beans nearby, and wanted to take away the money in Li Long's hand but was embarrassed.

He Fang smiled and said, "He is the elder brother, and he should get his share of everything."

Duan Mei ignored Li Long's eyes and accepted the money with a smile. It was more than ten thousand yuan thick when she felt it. This was the first time she had seen so many hundred-yuan bills.

During dinner, there was a large table full, with Li Fucheng sitting at the top, and next to him were the three brothers Li Zhaokun.

Li Zhaoming was about to pour wine for Li He. Just as Li He was about to stand up to take the drink, He Fang pulled off the corner of his clothes from underneath.

Li Hecai took back the wine glass and said with a smile, "I've been taking stomach medicine recently. Let's drink again in a few days."

The old lady said distressedly, "I just said it has been so dry lately. If you can't drink it, don't drink it."

Then he turned his chopsticks around and picked up the food for He Fang.

He Fang did not refuse, holding the bowl in front of the chopsticks and happily accepted it.

Li Zhaokun had just eaten two chopsticks and wanted to say that there was no pepper or flavor in the dish, but the old lady glared at him. He was afraid that the old lady would talk and make trouble with him again, so he had to hold back his words.

Next time, Lao Li's ladies started a comprehensive household registration survey on He Fang's family, and He Fang answered with a smile.

The only thing that dissatisfied Wang Yulan was that He Fang had no father and no man in the family. If he didn't have to rely on his son to support him in the future, wouldn't it mean that his son would be exhausted to death. But the old lady has the opposite idea. With one less burden, she will be able to live a peaceful life in the future.

It's a pity for Li Zhaokun that he won't have an in-law who can drink with him in the future, so his life will be as lonely as snow.

However, the whole family is quite satisfied. They are city dwellers after all, and they eat commercial food. I don’t mind country people like them, who are already enjoying a high level of incense. This girl needs to be good-looking, well-educated, and have a job. She doesn't have a choice.

The more Wang Yulan thought about it, the more she realized that this girl must fall into her hands, so she couldn't help but be more attentive to He Fang. Wang Yulan's behavior annoyed Duan Mei next to her. She was not treated like this when she entered the house, and this mother-in-law was extremely partial.

When clearing the dishes, Duan Mei couldn't think about it at first, but when she saw Li Long's cannibalistic look, she stood up and went to the kitchen to clean up.

Li He wanted to arrange for He Fang to sleep in the fourth child's room, but there was no bedding in the fourth child's room, only the bare bed board. He didn't need to think about it to know that his mother was a monster, and his mother didn't have such high-level ideas.

He Fang whispered, "It's okay. We just share the same room. It's not like we've never slept like this before."

"I'm sorry." When he was looking for hotels all over the world to lay his body down, He Fang was sleeping next to the bed. Thinking about it, he was really an asshole.

He Fang took the footbath from Wang Yulan and wanted to wash it for Li He first, which made Wang Yulan very satisfied.

Seeing the expression on his mother's face, Li He had no choice but to perform the trick properly.

But when He Fang took off his shoes, he washed his feet. Only then did he realize with shame that this was not acting. He Fang had always treated him this way at this stage. During his confused days, He Fang was the one who washed his clothes and cooked for him, washed his face, washed his feet, and washed his hands.

Li He smiled, and he seemed to feel a feeling called happiness again.

While He Fang was rubbing his feet, he raised his head and laughed. After a while, he asked, "What are you laughing at?"

It is said that those who laugh with you when you smile are either idiots or people who love you.

"If you knew the person I was, you would forgive me for the person I am now."

He Fang wiped his feet clean and then put him on the bed. He lowered his head and said, "Just say something I can't understand."

With his back turned, an imperceptible smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

Li He said, "Go to bed. This time I will watch over you."

"Need not."

It was enough for two people to sleep.

Li He lay in bed unable to fall asleep for a long time. He thought of a lot at once. If he went back to find her, what would happen to his parents here, what would happen to the fourth and fifth children, and what would happen to He Fang?

He couldn't let go of Li Zhaokun, mainly because he was afraid of embarrassing Lou Zi. He left the fourth and fifth children in Hong Kong and Singapore. If he left, who would take care of them?

He sat up irritably and lit another cigarette.

"Why are you smoking again?" He Fang didn't take his cigarette away this time. She also sat up, turned on the light, patted his shoulder, and comforted him to sleep, "Go to sleep. If anything happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"What if I marry you?" After a long time, Li He said this.

He Fang smiled and shook her head, "No."

"Why?"

"If what you give me is different from what you gave her, then I won't want it."
