Chapter 1,202. Li Ruhai: My fathers name is Li Yong, and my stepmothers name is Jin Mei.
Li Ruhai opened his mouth, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on him.
Although this child is young, he speaks with confidence.
Except for Zhao Weipeng, who was not very familiar with him, no one present thought that Li Ruhai was fooling around.
When this kid gets into trouble, he really gets into trouble, and when he does things, he really does things.
"What?" Li Dayong glanced at his old son and asked angrily: "Yangjiacun, do you know anyone else?"
"Yes?" Li Ruhai seemed unsure and said, "Isn't Sun Shuli from the second workshop coming from that village?"
"Sun Shuli?" Hearing this, Li Dayong and Zhao Youcai looked at each other. Zhao Youcai looked at Li Ruhai and curled his lips and said: "How many years have Sun Shuli separated from his father? It has been more than ten years since he moved to Yongfu. How could he know that his surname is Zheng?"
Are you two going?"
"You're not afraid of that, uncle." Li Ruhai smiled at Zhao Youcai, then straightened his body that had been bent for several days, and with extremely strong self-confidence, said loudly and forcefully: "Don't we have a mouth under our nose? We'll meet there.
People are just chatting, we can’t ask questions directly, so let’s trick them into talking.”
Hearing what Li Ruhai said, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. There was nothing wrong with what Li Ruhai said, but none of the people present could do this.
"Huh?" Zhao Weipeng's eyes lit up when he saw Li Ruhai, he raised his finger and pointed at Li Ruhai, and said to Li Dayong: "Dayong, this kid is really adventurous, he can be promising in the future!"
Hearing Zhao Weipeng praise himself, Li Ruhai smiled, bowed slightly to him, and nodded in greeting.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Jun couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and looked at Boss Zhao praising these two people, one Zhang Yuanmin and the other Li Ruhai, neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp.
"No, Ruhai?" At this time, Lin Xiangshun poured cold water on Li Ruhai and said, "When you go to inquire about something, you have to have an explanation, right? When people ask you why you inquire about this, what do you say?"
"This..." Li Ruhai was startled and murmured: "Is it okay to pull strings for the mediator?"
"Go away!" Li Dayong said: "If you say this in our village, no one will pay attention to you. If you say this outside, they will treat you as a bad guy and arrest you."
"Then I say I collect their wild boar and roe deer meat?" Li Ruhai looked at Li Dayong, meaning I collect the things, and you have to pay me back, right?
"You can pull me down." Li Dayong waved his hand and said: "You little brat, who would believe you when you said you were collecting mountain goods?"
"Don't mess around!" As soon as Li Dayong finished speaking, Li Baoyu slipped aside and said, "You can't scare the grass and scare the snake!"
"Then what should we do?" Li Ruhai scratched his head a little. He was good at language output and communicating with others, but he was less good at making plans.
But there are still capable people in the Zhao family gang. Zhang Yuanmin, who was lying on the kang, let out a burst of hearty laughter: "Hahaha..."
His smile suddenly startled everyone.
"What are you doing?" Yang Yufeng lightly scolded Zhang Yuanmin and whispered: "I was surprised."
"Don't worry about it!" Zhang Yuanmin frowned and glared at Yang Yufeng, then continued with laughter: "Hehehe..."
At this time, Zhao Jun winked at Li Baoyu. Li Baoyu stood up, held his hands to Zhang Yuanmin, and asked, "Why are you laughing, brother?"
"Haha." Zhang Yuanmin lost his goose feather fan in the stone cellar. At this time, he patted his chest with his palm and said with a faint smile: "Without him, you are confident!"
As soon as Zhang Yuanmin said this, Jie Chen stood up next to him and asked, "May I ask, brother, if you have any clever ideas?"
Zhang Yuanmin glanced at the minister with admiration, then turned to Li Ruhai and said: "Ruhai, come here with your ears!"
"Stop being useless!" Yang Yufeng pushed Zhang Yuanmin hard and said, "So many people are looking at you, so just say it."
Zhang Yuanmin thought it right and immediately thought of his own way to tell the truth.
"I won't do it!" Unexpectedly, after hearing what Zhang Yuanmin said, Li Ruhai was the first to object. He waved his hand and said, "I won't do anything!"
"Pah!" Zhao Youcai slapped the table, pointed at Zhang Yuanmin and counted the numbers before saying, "Yuanmin, you are really good!"
After Zhao Youcai finished speaking, he saw Li Dayong pointing at Zhang Yuanmin and saying, "Should I say it or not? This is a very clever plan!"
"You are really the one!" Wang Qiang rarely praised Zhang Yuanmin, while Lin Xiangshun on the side nodded heavily in agreement.
"Brother!" Zhao Jun really didn't want to exaggerate about aiding the people, but at this moment he also gave Zhang Yuanmin a thumbs up.
"Hahaha!" If Zhang Yuanmin was smiling foolishly just now, he is smiling proudly now. It is rare for Zhao Jun to praise him.
Like Zhao Jun, Zhao Weipeng also gave a thumbs up. He praised Zhang Yuanmin with emotion: "You are indeed a little Zhuge!"
"Hahaha..." Zhang Yuanmin was even more proud!
…
Dinner at Zhao Jun's house takes two hours, and with the woman cleaning up the mess after the meal, the dinner ends at nine o'clock.
At this time, many people in the village turned off their lights and went to bed.
Yongli Village, the home of Xing Zhiyong.
Hu Erya and Xing Hongyang were already lying down, one on the left and one on the right, with the space reserved for Xing Zhiyong in the middle.
When Xing Hongyang arrived home, Hu Erya had already prepared the meal. Neither of them waited for Xing Zhiyong, and they ate immediately after it was served.
This is not because Xing Zhiyong has no status in the family, but because Xing Zhiyong and the others do not have a car like the Zhao family when traveling in the mountains, so it is convenient to go back and forth.
Nowadays, it is normal for mountain runners to run around in the mountains in a day, covering thirty or forty miles back and forth. Some people go far, covering sixty or seventy miles from morning to night.
This resulted in them going home very late most of the time. In addition, it was common for some of them to come back from the mountains and go to a friend's house for a drink. At this time, they didn't even have a BB phone, and they couldn't send letters home.
Therefore, she couldn't afford to wait for them to eat, so Hu Erya left food for Xing Zhiyong, and then the two of them ate first.
During the meal, Xing Hongyang also told Hu Erya about his encounter with Li Hu outside the village.
When Hu Erya heard what her old son said, she concluded that Xing Zhiyong and Li Hu were not together. Otherwise, it would not be Li Hu calling his child.
As for Xing Hongyang's behavior of ignoring Li Hu, Hu Erya said he did the right thing.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is already past nine o'clock, but it is common for mountain runners to return home in the middle of the night. So, the couple did not wait for Xing Zhiyong, and soon
He soon fell asleep.
The next day, December 25, 1987.
When she got up early in the morning, Wang Meilan steamed a pot of steamed noodles with steamed buns and made sauerkraut with the leftover soup from yesterday's pork shabu-shabu.
At around seven o'clock, Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong went to work, while Zhao Jun, Jie Chen, and Zhao Weipeng were chatting in the room.
Not long after, the little bell came.
This kid didn't come empty-handed, dragging a sack.
The sack was not heavy, and contained a torn cotton jacket, a pair of torn cotton trousers, and a torn dog skin hat.
In this three-piece set, the dog-skin hat is frayed, while the cotton-padded jacket and trousers have large patches and small patches.
But these three-piece suits have a history. They were all worn by Little Bell Dang and her grandfather. After the death of Zhang Datou, a strange man from Yong'an generation, Zhang Yuanmin inherited this outfit.
Last year Zhang Yuanmin wore this outfit while running in the mountains. Many of the patches on his clothes were scratched by bears.
This year, the Zhang family's conditions have improved. Although they don't wear very good clothes when going up the mountain, they have eliminated this outfit. Normally, who has old clothes in rural areas and forest areas, and 800 people are waiting to get them. But this outfit
It has too much history and is too dilapidated, so no one wants it.
But just like that, Yang Yufeng didn't want to throw it away, so she threw it into the warehouse. Thinking that in the summer, she would take it apart and wash it. If no one would wear it, she would make a small mattress for the dog. Waiting for any of the dogs from the Zhao family to get pregnant and give birth to puppies again, she would
Take a small mattress to pad the dog's bed.
But today, Yang Yufeng took out this old antique.
When Zhao Jun lifted the sack and dumped the three-piece suit on the ground in the yard, Zhao Weipeng tightened his nose.
Not only is this outfit shabby, it also smells bad.
The last time Zhang Yuanmin wore this outfit this year was when he went to work in 77 Lengchang. There he lived in a shack with tenants. How could that be so good?
"Ruhai!" After pouring out his broken clothes, Zhao Jun went to the wall separating the west courtyard and called out to the other courtyard Li Ruhai.
"Here we come!" It was Jin Xiaomei who answered.
Soon, Jin Xiaomei dragged Li Ruhai out of the house, followed by a smiling Li Xiaoqiao.
At this moment, Wang Qiang came. He didn't come empty-handed, he was holding a worn-out enamel jar.
"Here you go, nephew." Wang Qiang came to Zhao Jun and handed the broken tea vat over. Zhao Jun picked up the sack on the ground and asked Wang Qiang to throw the broken tea vat into the sack, and then the shabby clothes.
Stuffed into a sack.
"Let's go." Zhao Jun greeted a few people. At this time, Jie Chen, who was carrying a sack, stopped Zhao Jun and asked, "Brother Jun, don't you bring two guns?"
"Are you a tiger?" Before Zhao Jun could answer, Wang Qiang said angrily: "What do you dare to do if you take a gun to someone's village? Let me tell you, it's those two who are painting the cabinet in Yang's house.
We can't use guns to make gestures either. If you use a gun, we'll just leave them sitting on the ground."
After being told by Wang Qiang, Jie Chen fell silent. At this time, Zhao Jun said: "No, today we are going to outwit you. The moves that our brother Zhang made are like a sea of things to implement, so we should be able to grasp them with both hands."
Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Wang Qiang, Jie Chen, and Zhao Weipeng nodded.
"Let's go and listen to your brother Jun." At this time, Jin Xiaomei was at the door and told Li Ruhai, "Don't sneer, do you know?"
"I know, Mom." Li Ruhai responded obediently, while Li Xiaoqiao tugged on Li Ruhai's sleeve and said, "Little brother, my elder brother asked me to give you a message."
Li Ruhai twitched his lips when he heard this. Li Baoyu didn't say anything when he was at home, but asked his little sister to give him a message. That boy must not be holding back anything good.
Although Li Ruhai didn't answer, Li Xiaoqiao said: "Brother said that today is the day for you to make meritorious deeds. I want you to change your ways and be a new person!"
Li Ruhai: "..."
At this time, Xiao Lingdang, Zhao Hong, and Zhao Na walked out of the Zhao family next door. Xiao Lingdang shouted, and Li Xiaoqiao ran away.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jun and his party also came out of Zhao's house. Zhao Jun, who was familiar with the road, drove, Zhao Weipeng sat in the passenger seat, and Wang Qiang, Jie Chen and Li Ruhai sat in the back seat.
An hour and a half later, the car stopped outside a poplar forest. Two miles south of this place was the south entrance of Yangjia Village.
After the car stopped, Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang and Zhao Weipeng did not get out of the car. However, Jiechen, who was sitting in the back row, carried a sack and walked into the poplar forest with Li Ruhai.
Three or four minutes later, Zhao Jun was lying on the steering wheel laughing, and Wang Qiang and Zhao Weipeng were also laughing so hard.
At this time, in front of the car, Li Ruhai was wearing a frayed dog-skin hat, Zhang Yuanmin's cotton-padded jacket and cotton trousers with large patches and small patches, and his own worn-out cotton shoes. He was holding a worn-out enamel jar in his left hand.
Holding a stick in his right hand, he first grabbed the ashes from the bottom of the pot on his face, and then wiped it with snow. He had a small face drawn by Hun'er, looking like a little beggar.
"Hahaha..." A burst of laughter came from the poplar forest, and Jie Chen, who was holding the tree with one hand, bent over with laughter.
Li Ruhai turned around and glared at the minister, then he walked slowly towards Yangjiacun, holding on to his stick and dragging his feet step by step, pretending to be weak.
Until Li Ruhai disappeared from sight, Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang and his ministers were still happy.
Zhao Weipeng was better. After all, he had only seen the glamorous side of Li Ruhai briefly. As for Zhao Jun and the others, they were used to seeing the well-dressed Li Ruhai. It was so funny to suddenly change to such a look.
Li Ruhai walked into Yangjia Village and walked carefully along the way. If he saw pedestrians, Li Ruhai would stay away from them. He looked around in the village and explored everything in the village.
After walking around for more than an hour, Li Ruhai carefully looked at every household in the village.
When Li Ruhai walked around the outside of a firewood pile, a dog in the yard suddenly picked up his chain and barked at Li Ruhai several times.
Just as Li Ruhai was about to leave, the door of the house was pushed open, and a woman walked out of the house carrying a small basin.
Li Ruhai couldn't run away at this time, otherwise people would think he was a ghost. So, Li Ruhai pretended to walk in vain and passed by the hospital.
The woman glanced at Li Ruhai and called her black dog: "Dahei, stop barking and come and eat!"
The woman thought Li Ruhai was a passing beggar, so she ignored him.
At this time, Li Ruhai had an idea, threw himself in front of the courtyard fence and shouted: "Auntie, don't feed the dog!"
"Huh?" The woman was stunned, and her black dog barked at Li Ruhai.
Li Ruhai pretended to be scared and stepped back. He was holding a tree stick in his left hand and tilting the broken teapot up and down with his right hand. He said to the woman: "Auntie, you haven't eaten for a whole day and a night. Can you give me something to eat?"
"Ah?" The woman's eyes widened and she looked at Li Ruhai in surprise. She leaned forward toward the mouth of the small basin in her hand, showed it to Li Ruhai, and said, "This is for feeding dogs!"
Dogs are fed the same thing these days. Boil potatoes and frozen melons in water until they become a paste. Add a little salt and mix well.
It’s not that women are reluctant to eat. The key is that it’s not good to give dog food to others, even if it’s a beggar.
"It's okay, aunt, stop feeding the dogs." Li Ruhai said with a sad face, "Give me a bite!"
Although Li Ruhai is tall, you can tell at a glance that he is an underage child.
Looking at the rags he was wearing, the woman couldn't help but feel pity. She immediately walked to the door, called to Li Ruhai and said, "Come here, I'll pour a jar for you!"
"Woof woof woof..." I don't know whether she understood or something, but the woman's dog held its chain and growled at Li Ruhai.
Li Ruhai leaned on a stick with one hand and staggered towards the woman. As soon as he came over, a smell of rancid food hit his face. The woman frowned and handed the small basin forward.
"Thank you, auntie! Thank you, auntie!" Li Ruhai shook the broken teapot twice, thanked the woman, and used the teacup to catch the dog food poured out by the woman.
While he was leaning down, the woman said: "Potatoes, I didn't peel them, but I washed them all, don't bury them!"
Having said that, Li Ruhai felt better.
There was a lot of dog food in the small basin. The woman poured a tea jar for Li Ruhai, and she poured the rest to the black dog.
At this time, Li Ruhai was squatting outside the west tent of the woman's house, holding a tea vat.
After the woman fed the dog, the black dog licked its food and had no time to pay attention to Li Ruhai, but the woman walked out of the yard.
At this time, Li Ruhai was squatting there, holding the tea vat in both hands, and kept pressing his face against the mouth of the tea vat.
This is using the heat emitted by the dog food to keep warm!
As for his stick, one end was leaning on the ground and the other was leaning against his shoulder.
Seeing this scene, the woman sighed softly, walked towards Li Ruhai and asked, "My child, where did you come from?"
"Auntie!" Li Ruhai glanced at the woman, then stood up with a stick and replied: "I belong to Wynn."
"Wynn? Oh my god!" The woman was startled and said, "It's more than a hundred miles away from here? How did you get out of home?"
Yangjia Village is more than 80 miles away from Yong'an Village, and more than 100 miles away from Yongli.
"My stepmother beat me and didn't give me food to eat." Li Ruhai seemed to be reminded of the sad past and choked up: "I came out on my own!"
"Oh! Tsk! Tsk!" The woman frowned, smacked her tongue, and said, "What about your father? Doesn't your father care?"
"Auntie, if he wants to take care of me, what else can he say?" Li Ruhai said with a cry: "If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather!"
"Oh! That's not good!" The woman sighed heavily and said, "You guys are all so stupid!"
At this point, the woman paused for a moment and asked Li Ruhai: "Whose Wynn family do you belong to? My brother-in-law's mother's family belongs to Wynn Company."
Li Ruhai was startled by her question, and the child's mind was spinning rapidly. Li Ruhai could count every pole and every household in Wynn Village from south to north. But he didn't know who this woman's brother-in-law was.
.
You can't talk nonsense about this. What if you hit the muzzle of the gun?
So, Li Ruhai thought of making up a story. After all, this woman's brother-in-law came from Wynn, but this woman was not.
Thinking of this, Li Ruhai said: "My father's name is Li Yong, and my stepmother's name is Jin Mei."
