Yong'an Tun, in the east room of Lao Li's family.
Li Dayong and Li Baoyu both fell asleep.
Although the two men didn't drink too much today, they didn't drink too much either. They sat there each holding a little book, reading and waiting for Li Ruhai. As they looked at it, they yawned, and then fell asleep without knowing it.
.
Li Baoyu was lying on his side on the kang, with his head resting on his wrists, his legs curled up, and his feet still exposed outside the edge of the kang.
When he came back tonight, Li Dayong was ready to beat Li Ruhai. In order to free up space, he and Li Baoyu didn't get into bed.
At this time, in the Northeast, heating mainly relied on fire pits and fire walls.
This leads to the fact that only the kang and the fire wall are hot in the whole house, which cannot be used as a heater. The places other than the kang and the fire wall are cold.
Li Baoyu was lying there sleeping. It was warm under his body, but his body was a little cold. When he was asleep, he felt hot and cold. He was a little uncomfortable, but he still fell asleep.
As for Li Dayong, he fell asleep while sitting with his back against the kang cabinet. It was past twelve o'clock, and Li Dayong also felt cold. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, and held a little book in one hand. At this time, Li Dayong had a dream. He dreamed that he was lying on the kang at home, reading a book about villains, and he was watching the episode where Wu Song got drunk and beat up Jiang Menshen.
What a great Takejiro!
He used a jade ring to step on the mandarin duck's legs, and whipped Jiang Mengoshen's face with a whip, knocking him to the ground!
At this exciting moment, Li Ruhai suddenly appeared in his dream. Li Dayong vaguely remembered what happened in reality today.
At that time, Li Dayong was still thinking in his sleep: "I can't let this kid run away, I'm going to give him a kick!"
At this moment, reality was mixed with dreams. Li Dayong, who was on the kang, raised his foot and whipped his leg. Then, there was only a muffled sound, followed by a squealing sound, mixed with Li Dayong's scream: "Oh my!
Oh my god!"
"What the hell!" Li Baoyu suddenly woke up from his sleep and got up from the kang in excitement.
And Li Dayong was grinning and covering his calf, humming constantly.
A second ago, Li Dayong in the dream and in reality kicked out at the same time. I don’t know what happened in the dream, but I only know that in reality, he kicked a leg of the Kang table.
This old elm kang table was made by Zhao Youcai when Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei got married.
Although it is not a precious wood, it is strong and heavy!
Li Dayong swept over with his mandarin duck legs, and the kang table only slid out to the edge of the kang, and then stopped steadily. The two large tea jars placed on the table flew out with the inertia, and made a loud sound when they landed.
There was a squeaking sound, and the leftover tea spilled all over the floor!
"Ouch..." Li Dayong covered his legs and pressed his upper body forward. His face was full of pain.
"Dad!" Although Li Baoyu looked confused, he immediately rushed to Li Dayong, held his shoulders and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Li Dayong covered his left calf with his hands, raised his upper body back, closed his eyes tightly, grinned and said: "Ah haha..."
This haha is not a laugh, it is completely a modal particle.
Fortunately, Li Dayong was wearing thin cotton pants, which had a protective effect. When he passed his leg, he probably only suffered some serious injuries. As time went by and he groaned in pain, the pain in Li Dayong's leg gradually subsided a lot. p>
"Dad!" Li Baoyu still didn't know what happened, so he asked eagerly: "What's wrong with you?"
Li Dayong didn't answer. He covered his legs with one hand, threw the other hand towards the door, and said with a grin: "You idiot! Let's see if that little brat comes back!"
Hearing this, Li Baoyu hurriedly went down to the outhouse, then to the west room, walked around in a circle before coming back and said to Li Dayong: "Dad, Ruhai hasn't come back yet."
After saying that, Li Baoyu turned to look at the teapot and teapot lid on the ground, and then asked Li Dayong: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, Li Dayong's legs no longer hurt much. He glanced at the kang table, gritted his teeth and said, "What the hell! Sleeping Hair is stunned!"
Li Baoyu followed Li Dayong's gaze and glanced at the kang table. He probably knew what was going on, and he felt relieved.
Li Baoyu got up and went to the ground to pick up the teapot and teapot lid, and asked: "Dad, it's already this time, can Ruhai leave it outside to freeze?"
Hearing this, Li Dayong looked back at the big clock on the wall and saw that it was almost half past twelve. He immediately stood up slowly from the kang, went to get the quilt on the kang cabinet, and said: "Ignore him, he won't do it either."
Tiger, maybe he went to find a place to stay!"
Li Baoyu thought about it. That kid Li Ruhai was not stupid. It was dark and cold outside this late at night. He must have found a place to live by himself.
After Li Dayong finished undressing the quilt, as soon as he took off his pants, he saw some bruises on the bumped area. He pressed lightly with his fingers and suddenly felt a jolt of pain!
"You idiot!" Li Dayong gritted his teeth and said, "You were waiting for me!"
Li Baoyu glanced at Li Dayong secretly and did not dare to say anything.
……
Early the next morning, Zhao Jun felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach just after four o'clock. He hurriedly got off the kang, pulled on his shoes and walked out.
These days, every house has a bedpan, most of which are the classic Double Happiness models. Put a bedpan in the house so that you can use it when you get up at night. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to go out and it will be cold in winter.
It's just that the bedpans usually have small ones, so Zhao Jun can only go outside.
At this time, the Jie family brothers and Li Ruhai were not awake yet. In order not to wake them up, Zhao Jun opened the door quietly even if he was anxious.
When Zhao Jun came out of the room, he saw Zhao Youcai sitting in front of the stove, with his back to him.
Zhao Jun took a closer look and saw that Zhao Youcai lowered his head, wasn't he poking something there?
Zhao Jun was wondering how his father was counting his private money, so he quietly walked behind Zhao Youcai.
When he came over, he saw Zhao Youcai looking at the big gold ring on his hand with a smile.
"Ouch!" Zhao Youcai suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw Zhao Jun behind him. Zhao Youcai was startled and couldn't help but shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing? Thieves don't slip away!"

"Haha." Zhao Jun chuckled and said as a favor: "Dad, how about this gold plate? My mother and I bought this for you."
"You can pull him down." Zhao Youcai sneered and scolded: "You are the worst kid."
"Huh?" Zhao Jun was startled when he heard this, thinking that this was a serious statement. He was calling himself an idiot.
Seeing Zhao Jun's confused face, Zhao Youcai said "ha" and continued: "You damn, you gave so much to that child like Ru Hai. When you honor your father, you give me just five yuan."
Money!"
"This..." After hearing Zhao Youcai's words, Zhao Jun didn't know what to say for a moment.
After he took Li Ruhai back to his room last night, Zhao Jun did not ask Li Ruhai what happened because Jie Zhong and Jie Chen were there.
As for the child Li Ruhai, he had been frightened all night. He was sleepy and cold at that time, but as soon as he settled down from the sudden cold, he huddled in the bed and slept soundly.
Because of information asymmetry, Zhao Jun was caught off guard by Zhao Youcai. He didn't know what Li Ruhai had explained, so how could he dare to say more?
By coincidence, Wang Meilan came out of the back room. Wang Meilan heard what the two men just said. She quickly came in front of Zhao Jun, frowned at Zhao Jun, and asked: "Son, how can you give him so much money?"
?"
Wang Meilan rarely complained about her son, but this time, she spoke up.
This is not a matter of principle, this is really a matter of principle!
Although Wang Meilan spends money more aggressively, Wang Meilan is almost forty and her family still has the conditions.
As for Li Ruhai, he is only a fourteen-year-old child. He only earns more than ten yuan a month. If he dares to spend so much now, what will happen when he is sixteen or seventeen?
Children of that age are sensible even if they say they are sensible, and they are not sensible even if they are ignorant. If they go astray, it will really be a lifetime thing.
Even Wang Meilan spoke. Zhao Jun suddenly felt that something was wrong and asked quickly: "What did Ruhai do?"
"What did you do?" Zhao Youcai sneered and said, "After you gave him the money, he bought a marmot hat and big leather shoes."
"Ah? Marmot hat..." As soon as Zhao Youcai said this, Zhao Jun was a little confused.
When Zhao Jun gave Li Ruhai money that day, he told him to buy food and villain books.
According to Zhao Jun's opinion, Li Ruhai is just like his younger brother. This child is running around outside without recruiting anyone every day. If you give him some money yourself, if he gets hungry outside, he can buy some food by himself.
As for whether this child can learn to be bad if he has money, Zhao Jun has also considered it.
But twenty years from now, children may go to game arcades, go to Internet cafes, or read some colorful magazines.
But where are those these days?
In this small mountain village, the only things that can corrupt people are unscrupulous women and money-playing.
The former has little appeal to Li Ruhai now, and even if those people knew that Li Ruhai had money in his pocket, they would not dare to put their ideas on Li Ruhai.
After all, Li Ruhai is only fourteen years old. Anyone who dares to harm the child will not have to stay in these ten miles and eight villages.
As for playing with money, Zhao Jun had given Li Ruhai some advice, and he also believed that no one would play with a fourteen-year-old child.
Therefore, Zhao Jun had not considered it. In his opinion, Li Ruhai could only buy some food and drink with the money.
This small village doesn't even sell soda, so Li Ruhai can only buy some food.
The consumption level of rural people is still low, and Wang Fu does not dare to buy anything expensive
Ten yuan can buy a sack of candy. Five yuan for cakes can make Li Ruhai vomit!
Therefore, Zhao Jun is quite relieved.
As for the day Li Ruhai said he wanted to buy big leather shoes, Zhao Jun thought he just went to the market and bought a pair of artificial leather shoes for not even a dollar.
Zhao Jun was joking with Li Ruhai at that time, asking him to buy another marmot hat.
But Zhao Jun never expected that he underestimated this kid Li Ruhai.
Marmot hat! Big leather shoes!
For a while, Zhao Jun didn't feel anything in his stomach anymore. He was not even in a hurry to go to the hut. He just asked: "Where did he buy it?"
These things can really be regarded as luxuries in the forest area these days.
Even if you go to a big market, you will only have a few pairs of artificial leather shoes at most. There are no leather shoes or marmot hats at all. People dare not buy them for fear that they will not sell them and then throw them away!
So Zhao Jun couldn't figure out where this kid was messing with all these things!
"Where did you buy it?" Zhao Youcai smiled and said, "I asked your Uncle Wang to bring it back. Your Uncle Wang went to buy it yesterday and brought him a marmot hat and a pair of big leather shoes."
Speaking of this, Zhao Youcai added: "It cost a total of eleven and a half yuan."
"I..." Zhao Jun was speechless for a moment, knowing why Li Ruhai was beaten yesterday.
Seeing that Zhao Jun didn't speak, Zhao Youcai snorted again, and then continued: "Your father, I have supported you for so long, and I haven't put on a marmot hat or big leather shoes."
Zhao Jun: "..."
Wang Meilan heard this and stretched out her hand to tug Zhao Youcai's sleeve, but Zhao Youcai still said reluctantly: "You are still stopping me. When Dayong asked yesterday, Ruhai said he gave the money."
As he spoke, Zhao Youcai pointed at Zhao Jun and continued: "This one was made for me, and that one is shameless."
Zhao Jun blinked twice and said to Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan: "Dad, Mom, this is all up to me, and I didn't even think about it... Oh, I just asked him to buy some snacks."
"Ha!" Zhao Youcai sneered: "Are you thinking? Do you think about that too much? You broke the kidnapping for someone else's child, how are we going to explain it to your uncle and your aunt?"
"Okay." At this time, Wang Meilan stopped Zhao Youcai and said, "Xiaomei will be back in the morning, I'll tell her."
After talking about Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Jun again and said: "Son, you can't give him so much money in the future. Just give him thirty-fifty cents, and you can give him twenty cents. You...
…”
"Alas!" Zhao Jun lowered his head and said, "Mom, I know, I did this wrong."
After saying that, Zhao Jun opened the door and walked out.
At this time, Zhao Youcai pointed to the door and said to Wang Meilan: "I tell you, don't give him so much money, don't let him go with his salary."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Okay." When Wang Meilan heard this, she frowned impatiently and tugged on Zhao Youcai's arm, then turned and walked towards the house.
Zhao Youcai saw that he could not persuade Wang Meilan, but he was not discouraged. He lit a fire and added half a ladle of water to the big pot.
The water boiled quickly. Zhao Youcai poured a small basin into the pot and covered all the boiling water.
Then, Zhao Youcai took the large basin on the side, pulled the curtain of sorghum stalks covering it, and stretched out his hand to grab the fermented cornmeal inside.
There was a lot of food left last night, and Zhao Youcai had no intention of cooking this morning.
Although there are still pancakes left, Wang Meilan distributed the noodles yesterday morning. Now that the noodles have been distributed, they must be made into dry food.
The cornstarch noodles will lose their shape after they rise, so if you put your hands into a ball and stick it to the pot, it will slide down. It's okay if there are vegetables in the pot, but if there is only water, the noodles will slip into the water and become porridge.<
/p>
Therefore, when drying the large pancake, you have to place a basin on the water. In this way, the corn dough will stop when it meets the basin, and as the pot heats up, it will become a pancake.
Zhao Youcai was about to grab the dough and knead it, but stopped. He took off the ring on his hand, looked at it in front of his eyes, and put the ring into his pocket with a smile before going to grab the noodles.
Zhao Youcai grabbed a handful of noodles with his left hand and threw it into his right hand. He caught it with his right hand and immediately threw it back to his left hand. When it was thrown back to his right hand, the noodles were already in a ball.
Zhao Youcai shook his right hand and the dough fell to the edge of the pot. The dough quickly slid down, leaving only a thin layer where the dough passed.
The dough stopped when it hit the basin, and Zhao Youcai then turned each pancake in a circle and stuck it to the edge of the pot.
After the sides of the large pot were turned around and filled with pancakes, Zhao Youcai covered the pot and then the basin, then went inside to wash his hands.
After washing his hands, Zhao Youcai took out the ring and put it on again. Looking at the bright gold plate, Zhao Youcai couldn't help but smile, thinking: "These days are getting better!"
