Reborn in 1987: The Story of an Abandoned Girl

Chapter 42 new year's greetings to the wang family

After all this commotion, it took a lot of time. Li Haitang grabbed his bag, took his things, closed the door again, and strode towards town.

On the way out, she saw the Li Yongchun family in front of her. Thanks to their family's help today, she immediately followed up and said, "Uncle yuan lin, auntie, are you going to town too?"

"Yes, to his uncle and grandfather's house in Yongchun. They opened a grain and oil store in town." Li Yuanlin smiled.

"I see." Li Haitang took out a pack of beautifully packaged sweets from his bag and sent one to each of them. He smiled and said, "This is the candy that my classmate gave me. It's from her parents' factory. Let's try it."

"Oh, haitang, you still have such a good thing. We have a good appetite today. Your parents are from a state-owned factory. They have serious jobs. They seem to be very rich." Li Yongchun's mother's eyes were shining.

Li Haitang smiled awkwardly, peeled a piece of sugar into his mouth, and smiled, "It should be okay. I didn't ask about other people's personal affairs."

Seeing that she didn't want to say anything more, Li Yongchun's mother got bored and began to peel off the candy and eat it.

This kind of delicious and good-looking candy is the most popular among girls. She narrowed her eyes and said, "It's delicious. It's better than white rabbit milk candy. It must be very expensive."

"I didn't ask. She gave me a box of ten pills." I took one for Wang Li and one for Li Tao, one for each of the five of them, and three for myself. It's gone.

The boy chewed his food and finished it in a few seconds. Li Yongchun walked side by side with her and asked, "Li Haitang, when do you start school? When will you go to school?"

"School starts on the 16th of the first month. I should be there a few days in advance. The exact time hasn't been decided yet." Tan city's wholesale department opened on the eighth day of the year, and the opening was left to Sister liu and Lin Peipei. She could play at home for a few more days.

"Oh. I heard that your second year of high school is going to be divided into different subjects. Are you going to choose liberal arts or science?" Li Yongchun put his hands in his pockets and spoke to her with his head tilted.

"Liberal arts!"

This answer had never changed. Although her science grades were good and she would not fall behind even if she chose science, she still firmly chose liberal arts.

"When does your technical secondary school start?" In return for reciprocity, she naturally asked.

Li Yongchun said faintly, "Same, but I have to finish the lantern festival on the fifteenth of the first month."

"Haitang, our school in Yongchun is in the provincial capital. We have to go to the county to change buses. You can go with us. We have a companion on the way." Li Yongchun's mother came to talk to him again.

Li Haitang gathered his scarf and shook his head, "We're not together this time. I haven't had time to get the notice for this semester's exam. I have to go to school early." In fact, she was looking for an excuse. She wanted to go to lin peipei's house earlier to ask about the transfer account. She would not be stupid to tell the truth to such a thoughtful person.

"Oh, I see. I heard that you did very well in school, so there must be no problem getting into a famous university, right?" The other party came over to chat up again.

Li Haitang smiled and said, "Not bad. There are a lot of factors involved in the final result, so as long as it works properly, it shouldn't be a problem."

During the conversation with their family, they soon reached the town. Li Haitang said goodbye to them and immediately turned to the wang family.

There were a lot of relatives in the wang family. When Li Haitang went over, the living room was full of guests and there were seven or eight children playing around in the room.

"Haitang, you're here. Come in." Duan Meifang was serving tea on a tray when he turned his head and saw Li Haitang standing at the door.

"Happy new year, sister-in-law!" Li Haitang walked in with her things and glanced at the others in the room. Seeing that the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the duan family, who opened a shop in the county, were also there, she said politely, "Eldest brother duan, sister-in-law duan, you are here too. Happy new year!"

"Happy new year! Haitang, she has grown into a big girl in the past six months. She's really getting prettier and prettier." Mrs. Duan chatted with her with a smile on her face.

A kind mother-in-law looked up and down at Li Haitang and asked, "Mei fang, which girl is this? She's so pretty."

"Mom, this is the girl I told you about before, the one who taught me how to make shortbread and cat ears. Her name is Li Haitang, and she's in high school at the Tam city 1 middle school." When Duan Meifang introduced Li Haitang, there was a faint sense of pride.

"Oh, so it's this little girl. She has good grades, looks, manners, and makes money. Not bad, not bad." The old woman looked at the little girl and saw how she liked her.

It turned out that this was Mrs. Mei fang's parents. Li Haitang smiled sweetly and politely congratulated the two elders sitting side by side on the new year, "Uncle, auntie, happy new year!" Although these two were older, their seniority was here, so she naturally had to address them by seniority.

"Happy new year!" The two old men replied and took out a red envelope from their pockets and gave it to her. "Here, this is the new year's red envelope we gave you. Take it."

Li Haitang bit her lip, took it with both hands, and said gratefully, "Thank you, aunt Uncle."

Haitang, Lier is very diligent today. He is helping his mother in the kitchen now. Sit down for a while and chat with the big brother and sister-in-law." Duan Meifang handed her a cup of red date and longan tea, which the rich people here could only drink during the new year.

Li Haitang took the tea in one hand and handed the present to her in the other. He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I came here today to wish you a happy new year. I bought some small gifts for your parents and uncles. I hope you don't mind."

"Ouch, don't spend any more next time. You brought us a lot of good things before the chinese new year, and they kept them in the cupboard." Duan Meifang was absolutely right. The things she sent over were all new things she bought in the city. The old man couldn't bear to eat them and locked them tightly in the cabinet.

Wang Tiao moved a stool for Li Haitang with a good look and said, "Sister haitang, my sister-in-law is right. The tea you bought for my parents is very delicious and the tea is very fragrant. My sister and I took three pieces of tea from their hands and made it three times. It's really pitiful."

"Haha... Haha..." His words made everyone in the room laugh.

Father of King, who came out of the room, said with a smile and a curse, "You little brat, you are still pitiful. Are you so pitiful? I can't bear to drink it. Three pieces of tea are still brewing for a day."

"Haha... Haha..." Everyone laughed again. The old man joked, "I say, my dear, we have such good tea at home. Come on, share it with us. Let's have a taste of it. We don't ask for much. One cup of tea and three slices of tea are enough."

"Haha..." The adult in the room laughed again.

The tea that haitang bought is really delicious. Mei fang, go to the kitchen and get the cups and thermos." Father of King smiled and walked into the room again. Not long after, he came out with a small teapot in his hand.

The adults were drinking tea and chatting, while the children were watching tv, and Kris Phillips uncle's song was playing inside.

"Ah, I lost again. Sister haitang, do you have any tricks for me?" Wang Tiao shouted.

Li Haitang smiled and shared his experience of playing checkers with them. Seeing that they understood seven or eight points, he suggested, "Come on, let's play another game. You guys will probably beat me in no time like I said."

"Okay, one more set. We have to win this time." Wang Tiao swore that after so many sets, he had never won one. It was a shame.

The adults who were drinking tea at the side also took some time to pay attention to them. The old man of the duan family praised, "This little girl has a good character and a good heart."

"He is indeed a good boy, but he has a hard life. But now that I'm on my own, I'm finally done." Father of King chatted with his in-laws while plucking peanuts.

"That's true." Naturally, the duan family had heard of Li Haitang's birth, and they all felt a little sympathetic.

Before a game of chess was over, wang li, who was helping out in the kitchen, came out with a red round face. When she saw Li Haitang, she cheered happily, "Haitang, when did you come?"

"It's been a while." Li Haitang turned to look at her and said with a smile, "I heard you helped cook today. It looks like I'm enjoying myself."

"Hehe... I'm just doing my job. My mom's the chef." Wang Li pulled a chair and sat down next to her, smiling. "I was thinking of going to your house tomorrow to play, and I was looking for you to start studying."

"I put the test papers from last semester into a booklet. I brought them to you today and put them in my bag. You can go and get them." Li Haitang walked a long way this morning and forgot to take the exam booklet, but Li Lan tore it up.

"Okay, thank you. That's great of you." Wang Li took her bag off the desk, took out the test book, and asked, "Hey, the first few pages are rotten. I'll get some tape to stick them."

While she was fixing it, Li Haitang told her about what happened at home this morning. "If I hadn't gone back to get this test book, my house would have been emptied today."

"Why is there such a shameless person? I really sympathize with you." Wang Li was speechless.

Wang Tiao, who was still playing chess with his little friend, looked up and said, "That Li Lan and I are classmates. Her hands and feet are really unclean. She often steals things. Our classmates often throw erasers and ballpoint pens. Last time, there was a new pair of gloves bought by a female classmate. She only wore them for one day and put them in the desk. She went to the bathroom halfway and disappeared when she came back. A few days later, Li Lan came to school wearing those gloves. The girl said it was hers. Li Lan denied it and said she bought it on the street. The two of them were fighting in the classroom and almost got into a fight."

Li Haitang frowned and sighed, "What kind of mother taught what kind of daughter? Her mother's hands and feet are not clean either. Now that she's better, she has a daughter who is worse than her. There will be no peaceful life in the family."

"It's a good thing you broke up with the li family. Don't be related to such people." After fixing the test book, Wang Li looked up and concluded.

Li Haitang was also glad that she used to be so poor that they could not steal her head. Now that they had managed to earn some money and live a better life, they started to do it. If it wasn't for dad's sake today, she really wanted to send them to the police station to educate them.

"Stop talking about them. It's a terrible thought. Are you free this afternoon? I'm going to Mr. Tang's house. Do you want to come with me?" Li Haitang asked Dr. Tang about it yesterday. Mr. Tang will be at home today. He won't be empty in the past.

Wang Li drew his attention away from the paper and nodded, "I'll go with you when I'm free. I bumped into Mr. Tang on the street yesterday afternoon. I made an appointment with her to visit her house this afternoon."

"Oh, that's even better." Li Haitang smiled. She pointed at the thick test book and said seriously, "This is the test paper I took four times in nine subjects last semester. There are detailed solutions and answers on it. These tests were written by the teachers of our school's Senior one grade group. They can't be bought outside. You have to think it through. If you can understand everything, it won't be a problem to get a good undergraduate."

"Okay, haitang, thank you." Wang Li was so touched that she hugged the test book like a treasure. This friend was so good to her that she had nothing to say. If she didn't get into a good university, she would be sorry for her kindness.

While the two of them were chatting together, Duan Meifang brought them two orange tangerines and said, "Haitang, Lier, try this iced tangerine. It's very sweet."

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law." Li Haitang took the iced tangerine from her hand and caught a glimpse of her lips. They were exceptionally attractive and ruddy. The corners of her mouth immediately widened. She asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you put on the lipstick I bought you today, didn't you?"

Duan Meifang smiled and nodded, "Yes, how is it?"

"Nice, especially nice. Your complexion is already pale. This color of lipstick suits you very well and makes you look a little younger." Li Haitang was not exaggerating, but he was.

Wang Li hadn't noticed it before, so he looked at it carefully and nodded, "It's really pretty. My classmate's mother also likes to put on lipstick. When I first met her, I was almost scared to death. She was wearing it like a bloody pot. It's not as natural as sister-in-law."

"Haha... Haha..." The two of them were amused by her for no reason. If the lipstick was not properly applied, it really looked like a big bloody mouth, and it looked frightening.

"What are you talking about? It's so funny." Mrs. Duan came over with a teacup.

Duan Meifang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, we are talking about lipstick. Look at the lipstick I put on today. It was given to me by haitang from tan city. Is it nice?"

"Nice. I thought you were wearing lipstick. It's pretty tight, not too bright, not too light. It's just right."

Women are naturally fond of dressing up. When they talk about this cosmetics, they can't stop. Mrs. Duan took out a lipstick from her pocket and said, "I bought this last time at the best mall in the county. It cost me eight yuan. It's old and expensive, but the color is not as good as yours. It's easy to lose color."

Duan Meifang took the lipstick from her hand, carefully identified it, and asked Li Haitang, "Haitang, how much did you pay for this lipstick you bought for sister-in-law?"

"Twelve yuan." This price is very expensive, enough to buy ten jin of pork.

"Sure enough, it's a penny for a penny. The twelve yuan is much better than the eight yuan." Mrs. Duan said with a smile and took a deep look at the smiling Li Haitang. This little girl was really generous.

While they were chatting about cosmetics, the dishes in the kitchen were ready. The Wang Yao brothers began to clean up the table, and Wang Li and Duan Meifang immediately went to help with the dishes. The guests each found a place to sit down and prepared for lunch.
