During the days when Li Weidong was away, Yu Li would stare at the ceiling and chatter in the air most of the night every night.
Yu Haitang, who is nagging and disobedient, complains that literacy work is difficult to do...
It always ends with 'kiss'.
When they actually met, she couldn't say a word, and her pretty face turned red from suppressing it.
His silly and cute little appearance made the street office workers nearby couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.
Of course Li Weidong couldn't let his wife be laughed at, so he grabbed Yu Li's hand generously.
"Daughter-in-law, walk home!"
The words "daughter-in-law" woke Yu Li up, and she instantly returned to her former generosity.
One small hand tightly grasped Li Weidong's big hand, and the other waved to his colleagues.
Under the envious gazes of everyone, the two of them rode bicycles and returned to the courtyard against the dim sunset.
It was time for work to end, and the courtyard, which had been silent all day, was bustling with activity.
The boys pushed the hoop back and forth in the courtyard, while the girls looked for a smooth place and grabbed the Galaha.
After a tiring day, the adults came back from get off work from the factory carrying canvas bags and chatted about work matters, while the women began to prepare dinner.
The courtyard is filled with a strong atmosphere of life.
"Aunt Zhou, this cabbage is so tender today, what's the price?"
"Hey, Weidong is back. It's not expensive, only 2 cents. I heard from the comrade selling vegetables that he got it from the Northeast."
"Brother Wang, did you go to the train station to unload coal recently?"
"Weidong is back. I haven't seen him for a while. There hasn't been much work at the station these two days. The winter vegetables have come down, so I followed Lao Zhao and the others to the vegetable market to help move the vegetables. I can get 50 cents a morning, which is better than the work at the station.
easy."
....
After greeting the residents, Li Weidong and Yu Li returned home.
Using the rusty key to open the big iron lock, Yu Li smelled an alluring fragrance.
She ran to the coal stove in small steps, and when she saw the duck meat in the pot, her eyes suddenly widened: "Brother Wei Dong, did you buy it?"
"Yeah, I've been on a business trip for a while, and you must be very frugal at home." Li Weidong hung the canvas bag on the coat rack, washed the hands, and started to pack the ducks.
Yu Li also stepped forward to help, and she said with some distress:
“How much does a duck of this size cost?
We have that money, we might as well save it.
I heard from my mother that children cost money, not to mention nutritional supplements and so on.
When the children go to school, they have to pay tuition every semester.
When the child grows up, he will marry a wife.
We also have to prepare furniture for his wedding, which is another huge sum of money.
We live a careful life.
As the old saying goes, if you don’t have enough to eat, you won’t have enough money to spend, and you will suffer poverty if you don’t calculate it.”
Li Weidong: "......"
Why does he feel as if he is marrying a noble man?
but.
If a woman can think like this, it means that she has sincerely spent her whole life with you.
Li Weidong cut the duck meat and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my monthly salary is 49 yuan now, plus the sports car subsidy, I can earn at least 70 or 80 yuan a month. Even if you can make it hard, you can't
There’s no end to the flowers.”
Li Weidong's words are not an exaggeration.
Nowadays, a pound of pork costs 78 cents. Even if he eats meat every day, his salary will not be enough.
Yu Li also knew this, she was just nagging out of habit.
Taro stewed duck originally requires a casserole to stew it, but if we don’t have one at home, a steel pot will do.
Li Weidong placed the steel pot on the coal stove and pulled out the plug below. He suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why is there no flame in the coal stove?
He picked up the steel pot and found that the briquettes underneath were very dark and there was almost no bottom fire.
"Me, I didn't have a coal stove at noon, so I made do with steamed buns and hot water, so I didn't change the briquettes." Seeing this, Yu Li explained hesitantly.
Li Weidong: "..."
The briquettes in the coal stove are always burning. If the briquettes are not replaced in time, the briquettes may go out.
Li Weidong picked up the briquettes with the tongs and saw that the briquettes underneath were still a little dark red.
"No problem, just change it to a briquette."
After replacing the briquettes, Li Weidong took a copy of "Principles of Mechanical Design" from his desk and used it as a fan, blowing the air against the small hole under the coal stove.
Why use this book? Because it is thin and large.
Blue smoke soon emerged from the coal stove, and a pungent smell of gas gradually filled the room.
The bright red flames gradually rose up, gently licking the black bottom of the pot.
When the briquettes turn red, the bottom of the pot will make a sizzling sound.
Li Weidong then put down his 'fan' and put the ginger slices and scallions into the pot and sauteed until fragrant.
Then he took the marinated duck meat from Yu Li's hand and poured it into the pot.
....
Soon, the pungent smell of gas in the house was covered up by the alluring fragrance.
Thirty minutes later, when Li Weidong opened the lid of the pot, Yu Li couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Hearing the sound of 'gudu', she blushed subconsciously and hurriedly turned around to get the plate.
The duck is fatter and fills a large plate full.
Li Weidong placed the plate on the table, and the two picked up the kuaizi and were about to feast.
Suddenly there was a sound of knocking on the glass outside.
Li Weidong frowned and turned to look.
Outside the window of his house, he saw Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua lying on the window sill of his house drooling with green eyes like hungry wolves.
Li Weidong shook his head dumbfounded.
The door of the house was closed tightly and the windows were sealed. How did the two children of the Jia family smell it?
Yu Li also saw these two little ones and curled her lips and said:
"It's Xiaodang and Xiaohuahua, ignore them.
In the past two days, Qin Huairu was taking care of Banggan in the hospital and couldn't take care of them, so they started having fun in the courtyard.
Yesterday, Little Shitou from the old Wang family next door celebrated his birthday. Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and fried two eggs.
Who would have imagined being smelled by them?
They went to someone's house with a lifeless look, and Mrs. Wang kindly gave them some.
Who would have thought that while Mrs. Wang was turning around to get the bowl, they actually spit on the fried eggs.
In the end, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to give them all the fried eggs.
Poor little stone cried all afternoon."
Li Weidong was stunned when he heard this.
In order to occupy the food, they spit on other people's food. These two children are also talented!
It was impossible to open the door, but it was just a matter of letting them knock on the glass.
Li Weidong stood up and opened the window.
Xiao Dang asked in a sneaky manner: "Uncle Wei Dong, does your family make fried meat? It's so delicious."
Little Sophora Flower put her fingers into her mouth, saliva flowed out from the corners of her mouth, and pulled out the thread, "It smells so good!"
Li Weidong looked at these two little white-eyed wolves, and his head was suddenly full of black lines, but then he smiled and said: "Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua, do you want to eat meat?"
"I think!" they both replied in unison, their little faces full of anticipation.
"If you want to eat, ask your grandma to cook it for you. Why don't you gather around other people's windows?"
