Chapter 77 Serving the Iron Rice Bowl

"Have you got the child's identification?"

Li Deyou and others returned home. Wang Chunmei and Cui Yanzi hurriedly walked out of the room.

"It's done, it's not a big deal, so why worry about it." Li Deyou said with a smile and waved his hand.

"Oh! The whole village will definitely know about Xiao Wu and Ah Quan's work tomorrow. It really hurts my head!" Li Deyou said while rubbing his head.

"Huh! Let them talk, I'm so envious of them. It's our family's ability to get job quotas." Second Aunt Cui Yanzi said with her hands on her hips.

"Well, if anyone asks, we will follow Awen's instructions and don't let anything slip."

"Awen has a relationship with the big leaders in the county, and everyone in the village knows it. This is a good excuse." Li Deyou reminded everyone again.

"We know that we must not make fun of the children's future." Wang Chunmei nodded.

Everyone went back to their rooms. Li Deyou was sitting on a chair smoking, watching Wang Chunmei pack her things.

"Mom, have you packed your baby's luggage?" Li Deyou asked, looking at the package on the bed.

"Don't worry, the clothes and bedding have been packed away." Wang Chunmei nodded and smiled.

"Bring more money and food. The child has no income in the first month, so he can't eat at his aunt's house all the time. My eldest sister's family is not rich either."

"Hey! I really forgot what you said. It's getting busier and more chaotic! I was so busy for a while."

"I just gave the child eight yuan and forgot to pack the food." Wang Chunmei smiled and patted her forehead.

Tell his second aunt to give twenty kilograms of cornmeal to each of the two children. Also, I remember that during the Chinese New Year, Awen gave thirty kilograms of fine grain stamps, and gave five kilograms to each of the two children."

"Five kilograms of flour and twenty kilograms of cornmeal. This amount of food is enough to last for a month. After all, we can still buy food in the workplace canteen at noon." Li Deyou did the math and said.

"Well, that's enough. Our family only gets four or two servings of food a day. Their two meals a day are about a pound, which is enough." Wang Chunmei nodded and said.

"It's not easy for a poor family to be rich, but it's not easy for us to work outside. Although we eat at my eldest sister's house, if we bring more food, the children will be more confident to eat!" Li Deyou said with a chuckle.

"Okay, I understand. I feel sorry for my son." Wang Chunmei rolled her eyes at Li Deyou.

"His second aunt, we forgot to pack food for the child. Come out quickly and pack some food for the child." Wang Chunmei stood in the yard and shouted.

"Oh, sister-in-law! I really forgot about this, look at my memory." Cui Yanzi patted her forehead and said with a smile.

"It's enough for the children to live in my eldest sister's house for free. If they are living for free, then we are going too far. Just now, my head said that I would bring enough food for the two children, so that I will have enough confidence to eat by then."

"Here, his second aunt! These are five kilograms of food stamps for Ah Quan. His uncle gave it to the child. Take it." Wang Chunmei smiled and handed Cui Yanzi five one-jin flour stamps.

"Sister-in-law, how can you be so embarrassed! It's enough for the child to carry the food from the father-in-law, and you give me the food stamps." Cui Yanzi said embarrassedly.

"Hey, what's the point! We are a family. As long as we are not separated for a day, your eldest brother and sister-in-law will not let you and the second child drink soup if they eat meat, and the same goes for the children." Wang Chunmei said grandly.

"Then thank you sister-in-law and eldest brother. Just take the swallow, eldest brother and sister-in-law are not outsiders." Li Dezhong said as he came out of the door.

"This is the right thing! His second aunt, you clean up first. After cleaning up, we have to prepare the dishes for tomorrow." Wang Chunmei said and turned around and returned to the room.

"Give it?"

"Well, I gave it, but his second aunt was too embarrassed to take it."

"We are all a family, what are the outsiders? When Xiao Wu and Ah Quan have stabilized their jobs, it will be almost time for the second son to separate. Time flies so fast." You Deyou recalled while smoking a dry cigarette.

"When we first got married, the second child was just a teenager. In the blink of an eye, his own children have grown up." Wang Chunmei smiled.

"Yes, time flies so fast! It's all because of father's efforts that we can continue to prosper. I can be considered worthy of his instructions."

"Baby, after the second child separates, let's give him the private land behind the house and give it to Zhuangzi. How about leaving a door on the back wall when we build the yard."

"My old uncle said that next year the private land will be allocated to the reservoir, and all the private land in the village will be divided into Zhuangzi. Now that there are more people in the village, it is time to divide the families in large numbers."

"Okay, you have the final say in our family and we all listen to you. The relationship between her second aunt and I is also very good." Wang Chunmei nodded.

"Okay, Xiao Wu's luggage is packed. I have to pack the vegetables quickly. I'll clean them up tonight so I won't have to rush around tomorrow."

Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and it is also the official day to visit relatives. It will be a busy day for Li Wen's family to entertain guests today.

Because the company now has a three-day holiday during the Spring Festival. Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and my father and second uncle will go to send the eldest brother and the second brother to work early in the morning.

It was around three o'clock in the morning, and it was very dark. My father, Li Deyou, and my second uncle, Li Dezhong, set off with their two sons in a mule cart borrowed from the production team.

They had to arrive at their aunt's house in the county town around six o'clock so that Li Wu and Li Quan could go to work normally at eight o'clock.

As for why an ox cart is not used, it is because the ox cart is too slow. There is no cargo to be hauled, so just four people and one luggage can run faster with mules. ωωw..net

After seeing off Li Wu, Li Quan, Li Deyou and Li Dezhong, they had to go home to entertain the guests. So their time was also very tight.

"Uncle, uncle, you are here." Zhao Jiefang opened the door and said hello with a smile.

People have already gotten up at six o'clock in the morning. Today is the first day of the new year. If you get up early, you will be criticized if you are late.

"Uncle, my mother has been wondering why she hasn't come since last night." Zhao Jiefang said to the two of them with a smile.

"I visited relatives yesterday, and it was already dark when I came back. Your aunt packed your luggage when I went home in the evening, and we came here early in the morning." Li Deyou said with a smile on his face.

At this time, Li Xiulan and Zhao Hongjun walked out of the room, watching their brothers and nephews rush to greet them.

"Deyou, Dezhong, you are here! I was nagging you just now, for fear that you would be delayed." Eldest brother-in-law Zhao Hongjun said with a smile.

"That can't be done, the child's affairs are important." Li Deyou said as he handed over the cigarette.

"Xiao Wu, Ah Quan, come, my aunt has packed a house for you two. You put down your luggage first." Li Xiulan saw her two nephews carrying sacks and packages and hurriedly greeted her. She led Li Deyou and others to the room.

The room is not big, only about ten square meters, with a kang, a small cabinet and a table. But the conditions are already very good.

Although Li Wu and the others live in a house each at home, there is still a gap between the brick house and the brick house of their aunt's family. What's more, their brothers also live in the same room in winter.

"Xiao Wu and Ah Quan, are you satisfied with keeping this house?" Li Xiulan smiled.

"Sister, your house is much neater than ours, so what's wrong with having two boys living there?" Li Deyou waved his hand and said.

Li Wu and Li Quan also quickly nodded in agreement.

"Well, you two can live at your aunt's place with peace of mind. My uncle has prepared the wood and charcoal for heating at night." Zhao Hongjun pointed to the corner with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, you are so thoughtful. Xiaowu Aquan gave your aunt the rations prepared by your mother." Li Deyou said quickly.

"Sister, here are forty kilograms of cornmeal and ten kilograms of flour. Please keep these coupons. This is the ration for these two boys this month."

"Boss, what's the matter with you helping my sister's family so much this time and allowing the two children to eat for several months?" Li Xiulan said with an ugly face.

"Sister, if you don't collect food, I will let the two children go out and rent a place to live." Li Deyou's face was stern.

"Your family is not rich in food. You are a half-grown man living in poverty. These two boys are growing up and eat a lot. Sister, please don't be polite. Our family's life has been much better this year. We are not short of food."

." Li Deyou explained.

"Okay, sister, I'll take it. Don't take it next month. This amount of food is enough for the child to feed for two months." Li Xiulan laughed after hearing Li Deyou's words.

In fact, she didn't collect food mainly because she was afraid that her parents' family would not have enough food. In the past few years, she was aware of the life of her parents' family and helped a lot. In the second half of last year, her two younger brothers did not come to the county town to get food.

"Okay, eldest sister, brother-in-law, let's take the children to the home of the master who takes over to pay New Year greetings, and let him take the children to work." Li Deyou didn't dare to stay longer, fearing that the master would go to work.

"Okay, go ahead and understand it well. The children's work will be easier in the future." Zhao Hongjun said.

After putting down their luggage, Li Deyou and Li Dezhong hurried to the supply and marketing cooperative with their two sons.

Years ago, Li Wen gave his father a lot of cigarette stamps and non-staple food stamps. Li Deyou hurriedly bought three cartons of Golden Monkey cigarettes and some pastries and non-staple food from the supply and marketing cooperative.

He divided the things he bought into two parts, and took out an extra carton of cigarettes and opened them for Li Dezhong and Li Quan. Li Wu divided them into several packs.

"Second brother, this is Ah Quan's annual gift. You can take it with you and give it to the master who will succeed Ah Quan."

"And Xiao Wu, Ah Quan, take a few packs of cigarettes. You have grown up too. Be more positive when you get to the workplace, smoke more, and have a good relationship with your colleagues," Li Deyou warned.

"Okay, brother, let's go first." Li Dezhong opened the cigarette and put it in his pocket and said.

Next, the brothers took the children away in two ways.

"Awu, besides buying meal tickets at work, don't be reluctant to spend the rest of the money I gave you. Buy more cigarettes, take care of the masters and leaders, and become a full-time employee as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares."

"Also, talk less and do more, and be diligent. Everyone likes to deal with hard-working people."

After all, Li Deyou had worked in the city before, and patiently taught his son life lessons along the way.

Walking to a small courtyard, Li Wu knocked on the ajar door.
