Reborn in 1987: The Story of an Abandoned Girl

Chapter 100 gossip

Li Haitang, who was helping out in the village, had no idea that Zhou Yunyang had placed a big order for her. She was in the kitchen cooking the bacon he was thinking of. Dried radish stir-fries bacon. This dish can't help but drool. Dried radish is aunt er zhu's own pickled dried vegetables. It is fragrant and crispy. She has secretly eaten several pieces before stir-frying.

Aunt er zhu helped her cut and wash the vegetables. Li Rong, on the other hand, was burning firewood for her in front of the stove and chatting with her. "Haitang, I made a decision with Yongchun yesterday. I want to go to Yangcheng with you before school starts. Is it convenient to take us with me?"

In the white mist, Li Haitang's small face was slightly reddened under the light of the firewood, adding a few strands of beauty and beauty. Her eyes had been locked tightly on the dishes in the big iron pot, her right hand was flipping up and down with a spatula, and her left hand was sprinkled with some chili. She casually replied, "Yes, we haven't bought tickets yet. Let's go together then."

"Sure."

Li Rong smiled. He wanted to go with his brother and sister-in-law, but his brother disagreed. When they returned to Yangcheng, they had to go to work immediately and had no time to take him to play. They were worried that he would be lost if he was unfamiliar with the place. Moreover, Yangcheng was not in a good state of security, so they refused to let him wander around alone. This time with Li Haitang and the others, they were led by acquaintances, so there was no need to worry.

"We'll be back before the lantern festival, and then we'll go straight to tan city. Will you and Li Yongchun go home again or directly to the provincial capital?" Li Haitang asked casually.

"We're going back to school. We won't be back in the middle of the trip. The fare for the round-trip ticket is quite good. If you can save it, save it." They went to Yangcheng this time to buy tickets with the money they earned. If they let their families pay, their parents might not allow them to go out.

Aunt er zhu washed the last cabbage and brought it in. She smiled and said, "Haitang, you have been to the big cities of Hushi, Yangcheng many times. You must be familiar with them. Rongzi is the first time he has returned. Please keep an eye on him when the time comes. I heard there are a lot of people in Yangcheng. I'm afraid he might lose them by accident."

"Hehe, okay. Aunt er zhu, don't worry. I promise to bring Brother Rongzi back to the provincial capital safely." Li Haitang gave Li Rong a playful look, feeling that she was going to be a big sister again.

"Mom, I'm not a three-year-old child. I'm almost 18. I'm almost an adult. There are many people in our village who work in the south at the age of 16. They haven't left Ping shan town before they left, and they haven't seen them throw them away. I've been studying in the provincial capital for two years. I still have the common sense and alertness to roam around outside. Don't underestimate me." Li Rong expressed his displeasure. His mother and brother always treated him like an ignorant child. In fact, he was very sensible and reliable now.

Auntie er zhu thought for a while. He could earn so much money while he was studying at school. He really shouldn't be underestimated. He grew up. "Well, I won't say you're a child anymore, but you still have to be careful outside, be careful, and calm down a little."

"Got it." Li Rong's attitude was a little better this time.

Li Haitang put the dried radish and stir-fried bacon in four big bowls, scooped a ladle of water into the pot, cleaned the pot with a bamboo brush, and then prepared to stir-fry the last cabbage.

"Lunch is almost ready today. It's already 12: 00 sharp. They must be hungry. I'll call them over for dinner." Aunt er zhu took off her apron and walked out quickly with ease.

The recruitment of workers for the cement plant has been confirmed, and many people in the village want to try it. The recruitment time is the same as the beginning of school, set on the 16th of the first month. Li Jianguo wanted to build the house quickly before the villagers went to the cement factory, so he not only invited the labor force from Lee ka tsuen, but also hired some people to work in the two villages next door, a total of nearly 30 people. The crowd was so strong that in just two days, the old house was all pushed down, the original earth bricks were all cleared out, and the foundation was also excavated in half. It was estimated that it would be ready to be built in two or three days.

"Auntie er zhu, you're tired of cooking so many dishes by yourself. I'll ask dad to go to the village and call a woman to help you later." After everyone had finished eating, Li Haitang and aunt er zhu were washing dishes in the kitchen.

"Okay, with you and Rongzi helping me out here these two days, I feel much more relaxed. When you guys leave, I really can't do it alone." Aunt er zhu smiled. She was going to talk to Li Jianguo about this today. It would be better if she came forward.

Li Rong helped bring the leftovers into the kitchen and asked casually, "Haitang, what happened to Li Ting?"

Li Haitang paused to wash the dishes and shook his head, "I don't know. After she was picked up by Li Tao's third uncle, I didn't ask about it."

Zhao Chunhua's big mouth told us about Deng Wenfang in the village as soon as he came back. We know everything about Deng Wenfang in Lee ka tsuen and the village next door. Alas, that child Li Ting is also pitiful. With such a shameless mother, his life is ruined. "Aunt er zhu shook her head repeatedly." A good girl has been made like this by Deng Wenfang, and she has ended up like that. I really don't know what's going on in her mind."

"She must have taken a fancy to the money from the contractor's house. It's a two-story five-door red brick house. It's probably the only house in several towns near us." Li Rong curled his lips in disgust.

Aunt er zhu agreed with her son, "Most likely, yes. The red brick building with two floors and five doors costs at least 20,000 yuan. I heard that the red brick building of the contractor's house was built at the end of the year before last. His dead wife's family helped a lot, as a shelter for the two children that the woman left behind. Now that Deng Wenfang is a woman who wants to take a share of her belly, they will never agree."

Li Haitang sighed and said with extreme disdain, "She was the only one who thought about getting something for nothing every day. She was too lazy to eat and spend too much money. She didn't know how to run the house. She didn't think about the children. She just cared about enjoying herself. Other people's money doesn't fall from the sky and they just pick it up. They all work hard to earn it. No one will give it to her easily."

"Ah, jianguo was also a fool. She shouldn't have been spoiled at that time. This kind of woman should have divorced earlier and let her go." The two families were only a few meters apart, so aunt er zhu naturally knew Deng Wenfang's character best and was especially unworthy of Li Jianguo.

"He also thought that Li Tao was still young. If his family was not complete, it would have a great impact on his growth. It's not like there's a saying that a mother is better than a stepmother no matter how bad she is." Li Haitang understood what he was doing.

"That's right. At that time, you were all young, and if there was no woman at home, life would be hard. Fortunately, now that Li Tao is old and sensible, your father and daughter have guided him very well. He has not gone astray."

The two of them chatted as they cleaned up the kitchen. After finishing everything, Li Haitang wandered around and returned to town around three o' clock.

As soon as he got home, he was shocked for a long time by the news that Wang Li had brought. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Yunyang, he's a pig. He needs so much wax at one time. If I didn't tell you earlier, how could I get it out now?"

"Hehe, haitang, I just went to my uncle's house. There are still a few pigs in his pigsty. I ordered one for you to be slaughtered tomorrow morning. Chicken and duck were also ordered by several families in our village. Fish, you have to do it yourself. There are many fish ponds in your village. There must be a lot of fish in the pond. Look for them." Wang Li ran a lot of errands for her this afternoon, and did almost everything for her.

Li Haitang hugged her and thanked her for a long time, "Wang Li, I won't say anything more about our relationship. I'll call back to the village and ask them to get me some fish."

"Okay, go ahead."

There were three fish ponds in li village, one of which was contracted by captain Li Yuanhua's family. She called wang hongzhen directly and the other party immediately agreed to send the fish to the wang family by noon tomorrow.

On the eighth day of the first month, because of Zhou Yunyang's big order, Li Haitang did not go to the village to help with the work. He spent the whole day at the wang family marinating the chicken, duck and fish he needed. After leaving the rest to Mother of Wangli, she rubbed her sore arm and slowly walked home.

On the morning of the ninth day of the first month, a group of people set off for tan city.

Wang li wanted to study at home as soon as possible, but she was dragged along by Li Haitang to play, which was called the combination of work and rest. She couldn't help but pack up her math exercise book and follow them.

After two transfers, he finally arrived at tan city bus station at 11: 30.

"Our Sugar wholesale division is not far from the bus station. I'll take you to put down your luggage and eat out later. We'll play in pool city in the afternoon. We'll go to the provincial capital tomorrow morning." Li Haitang led the way with his schoolbag on his back.

"Okay. Sister haitang, I heard from Li Tao that your Tam city 1 middle school is very beautiful. I want to see it." It was Wang Tiao's wish to come to tan city.

Wang Li's eyes lit up, thinking that his brother's proposal was really good, immediately agreed, "Yes, to the tan city One middle to play. I've seen your pictures. They look really good. I've wanted to see them for a long time."

"Sure. Later, we'll go to a restaurant not far from the school to eat northern food. After that, we'll go to the school." The Tam city 1 middle school is really pretty, with a culture that has been settling over time.

"Wow, Li Haitang, is it the restaurant you invited me to last time?" Li Yongchun's eyes lit up at the thought of the delicious food he had eaten that day.

Li Haitang turned around and smiled, "Yes, the northern snacks in the shop are very delicious. I like them very much. Every time I pass by, I buy some and take them to school."

"It's really good. There are also a few dumpling restaurants in the provincial capital that are opened by the northeasterners. They are very delicious. I also try them occasionally." Almost all southerners eat rice, rarely pasta, and occasionally a change of taste, feeling very good.
