Chapter 410: Riding back to Lijiapo in a car, filled with TV sets and gifts
"It cost tens of thousands of yuan, so much money?"
Not to mention Li Mei, Chen Bo was shocked. This is 1978. The average salary of an ordinary person in this year is thirty or fifty yuan a month. After deducting food and drink expenses, it is not bad to save ten and twenty yuan a month. A family can make a living every year.
If you have three to five hundred yuan saved, it belongs to a wealthy family.
Not to mention tens of thousands, if there is someone in the family who has a few thousand dollars, it is at least more than 95%. Tens of thousands of dollars, that guy is really scary, how did he get so much money? Let alone Chicheng County, I am afraid there is no one in the entire area.
There must be so much money.
"Guoxi, please don't lie to me. How can it be so easy to earn tens of thousands of dollars?" Li Mei was both curious and worried. If the source of such money is unknown, then it would be a big deal. This is not
Just kidding.
"Sister, this kid Anle earned all this money from writing books."
Li Guoxi said with a proud face. "This kid has published several books in the past six months and earned a lot of money. Even if he earns more, he can spend it quickly. Tell me, he didn't discuss buying such a big yard with me and his mother."
.”
"Published another book?"
Li Anle had often published books before and had never wanted to go to university. There is still time to publish books. This kid is not afraid of delaying his studies.
"You earn money from publishing books, dear."
Chen Bo looked at Li Anle. "This kid Anle is really promising. He used to be a few hundred, but now he is tens of thousands. It's scary."
"That's because Anle, this child, has been smart since he was a child, and it looks like he will be very promising." Li Mei was happy to hear her husband praising her nephew.
"It spends money quickly."
Li Guoxi said with a sad look on his face. "Brother-in-law, sister, you don't know how brave this kid is. His mother and I were scared when we heard it. Tens of thousands of dollars were spent without blinking an eye..."
"That's right, you two are quite a couple..."
Well, Li Anle was helpless. He couldn't say that this little money was nothing. He was afraid that he would be nagged again. He didn't say anything, so he hurriedly hid. As he spoke, Li Anle sneaked to the side.
"Anle, tell me how much royalties you earned." Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaolong followed me and asked curiously.
"Not much actually."
Li Anle said in a low voice, "It's probably tens of thousands of yuan, but it's all spent. Now I don't have much money in my hand. Alas, this money is not spent."
"All spent?"
"Tens of thousands spent in one go?"
Chen Xiaolong didn't know what to say. He didn't have a hundred yuan in total in his pocket right now. He usually only bought a bottle of soda and spent some money on breakfast. This was considered a luxury. If his mother knew about it, he would criticize her.
How many sentences?
Li Anle actually spent tens of thousands in one go. This kind of courage is really scary. His fourth uncle is too used to it. If his mother is afraid, he won't be able to kill him.
"Bought the whole house?" Chen Xiaolong was curious, how did he spend it?
"That's about it. I still need to decorate it," Li Anle said. "By the way, I also bought a three-wheeled motorcycle as a means of transportation. I bought a few other things here and there, and it cost me seven hundred and seventy-eight dollars."
"You also bought a tricycle?"
Chen Xiaolong suddenly became excited. Although he could usually touch motorcycles, those were in work units and he didn't even have a bicycle. Now Li Anle actually bought a motorcycle. "What brand is it?"
"Yangtze River 750." Li Anle actually didn't know the brand, but he still knew the brand of the motorcycle he was riding.
"Really, have you ever ridden it back?" When Chen Xiaolong heard this, he knew this car and it would be great if he could borrow it and ride it for two days.
"Brother, you are stupid. Anle and sister came back together by train, how could they ride a bike?" Chen Xiaohu was listening on the side. You must know that he is still in school and usually only has a few cents in his pocket at most.
But Li Anle, who is about the same age as him, actually earns tens of thousands of yuan, and he dares to spend all the money on the problem. This is awesome. He is his idol, so awesome.
"It's a pity."
When Chen Xiaolong thought about the brand-new Yangtze River 750 turning into a motorcycle, he felt itchy in his heart. If he could ride around and meet the boys in the factory, he would be able to brag about it for a few months, and it would definitely be easier to find someone to date.
Thinking about riding a three-wheeler to take your partner to a restaurant, it would be possible directly. The more Chen Xiaolong thought about it, the more he was itching. "It will be great when I can drive it back."
"Have the opportunity."
Driving back from the capital, I'm afraid I'll be exhausted. It's almost a joke. Driving a three-wheeled motorcycle is difficult in my life. It's impossible for Li Anle to drive back.
"Anle, brother, Xiaohu, eat watermelon." Chen Xiaowen came over with the watermelon.
"Thank you, sister."
"What are you talking about?" Chen Xiaowen sat down and was a little curious when she saw a few people chatting energetically.
"Nothing."
Li Anle took a few bites of the watermelon and glanced at his father, who was bragging to his uncle and aunt about how big his house was, how many rooms, and yards. Li Mei and Chen Bo were stunned as they heard that there were several toilets.
Guys, all division-level cadres enjoy the benefits.
Li Anle smiled when he heard that, his father was really right, but what is the boast of Yisiheyuan? Why can't he be like himself, keep a low profile, really, don't follow him at all.
"Sister, have you packed your things?"
"I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me."
Chen Xiaowen put all the things together with Li Anle and the others. "I'll go and pack them up."
"Do you want my help?"
"No, I don't have much."
"By the way, brother, Xiaohu, I brought you a gift." Chen Xiaowen remembered that she had brought gifts from the capital to her parents, brother and Xiaohu.
"Gift?"
Chen Xiaolong and Chen Xiaohu looked surprised. They didn't expect Chen Xiaowen to bring them gifts. They didn't know what they were, but they were disappointed.
The gifts Chen Xiaowen brought were nothing new. Chen Xiaohu brought books, and Chen Xiaolong brought commemorative postcards. The two brothers looked at the gifts and smiled bitterly.
"I brought it too."
The gift Li Anle brought to the two of them were loafers that are popular in the capital. These shoes are made of plastic soles and covered in velvet. Li Anle is not too interested in these shoes, but many people in the capital still wear them, so Li Anle brought some pairs as gifts.
One is something from the capital, and the other is someone like a grandpa, uncle, uncle, etc. I don’t know what to give, but these shoes happen to be quite suitable and can be worn by anyone.
"People in the capital like to wear these shoes."
"Brother Xiaolong, Xiaohu, you choose a pair."
"Really, people in the capital like to wear them?"
Nowadays, most people wear home-made shoes. Not to mention these kind of shoes, they are really good. Chen Xiaolong and Chen Xiaohu obviously liked the gifts from Li Anle better.
"Comfortable."
Chen Xiaolong took the shoes and put them on immediately. After putting them on, he stamped his feet. They looked good and comfortable. He was very happy. Compared with the postcard shoes, these shoes were more practical and more popular.
Chen Xiaohu was equally happy. Compared with books and other things, this one was more to his liking. He went back to wear it and showed it to a few classmates in the building. Hey, hey, you can't buy it in Chicheng in the capital.
While tinkering with shoes, Li Anle heard his father calling him to see the photos.
"Anle, take the photo to your uncle quickly so that he can take a look."
"Here we come." Li Anle found his backpack, opened it and took out the photos inside.
"So many photos?"
"Well, I took a lot of pictures. I'll show them to my aunt and others later."
Among them are photos of tourist attractions, photos of courtyard houses, and then there are photos of TV shows, which add up to a good number, about a hundred of them.
"so much?"
"This kid bought a camera."
Li Guoxi said, "I like to take pictures when I have nothing to do."
"Is this the Forbidden City?"
“On a hot day, I have to go shopping.”
Although Li Guoxi complained, he still spoke with a hint of pride.
"This is?"
"At home, this kid does all the trouble. This is the backyard, and this row of huts is where the sundries are kept."
"How many houses are there to store debris?"
"No."
After finding the photo of the Central Courtyard, Li Guoxi pointed at it and said, "This is the Central Courtyard, where we usually live. Sister and brother-in-law, look, our family of three lives in these ten or so large rooms. Tell me about this child. Why buy such a house?"
What are you doing with a big house?"
Good guy, no wonder it costs tens of thousands of dollars. This big yard and big house are still in the capital, but so does this kid. Why did he buy such a big house? There are only a few people in his family.
"This is really not small."
"No, cleaning is tiring." Shi Qin complained, this is not Versailles, Shi Qin really feels that way.
"It takes effort."
"Anle, why did you buy such a big house?"
"Buying three large tile-roofed houses is not enough for you to live in."
Li Mei also felt that this child shouldn't buy such a big house. It would be a waste for the three of them to live in the eldest son's place. They might cause some trouble. This house was used by landlords and capitalists to live in. "If it doesn't work, let's see if we can.
Sold."
"Don't cause trouble."
"I thought so too, but this child is not happy." Li Guoxi sighed.
"Dad, didn't I tell you that Uncle Han bought this for you, it's okay."
"Uncle Han?"
"Secretary Han of our commune has been promoted."
Li Guoxi said, "This kid is still looking for a house that Secretary Han helped to buy."
"That is not bad."
Li Mei was really worried. After all, it had not been long since the turmoil had passed, and no one could tell whether it would turn back.
Seeing that he had nothing to do, Li Anle went to chat with Chen Xiaolong and others, talking and turning on the TV.
"Our family doesn't know when we will be able to buy a TV."
Chen Xiaohu looked at the TV box with envy.
"No one in our building has one. Only the workshop director at the front has one."
Chen Xiaolong said, "I'm usually very precious."
"Anle, can you watch this TV you brought back?"
"sure."
After Li Anle spoke, he opened the box and took out the TV. Li Mei and others who were talking listened to the movement and looked over.
"What is this for?"
"It's nothing, just watch the TV to see if it's okay. It's going to be a bumpy road, so don't break it."
There was no antenna, and the TV only had spots on it. Li Anle simply installed the antenna and hung it on the window.
"Yes, yes, there is someone."
Anhui Provincial TV Station was playing an old movie, and not only Chen Xiaolong, but also Chen Xiaohu, and even his uncle couldn't help but glance at this guy.
"These kids."
"Don't look too late."
Li Anle watched for a while and then washed up and went to sleep. The buzzing sound of the fan was quite hypnotic. When he woke up in the morning, he saw Chen Xiaolong and Chen Xiaohu. They were still fast asleep, fearing that they saw Xi Tai last night.
"Anle, wake up."
"Auntie."
Li Anle stretched his head and looked at Aunt Li Mei who opened the door and came in carrying fried dough sticks and some steamed buns.
"smell good."
"hungry?"
Li Mei smiled. "Xiaolong and the others haven't gotten up yet?"
"Um."
As Li Mei came back buying fried dough sticks and steamed buns, everyone got up one after another. Li Mei and Chen Xiaolong would go to work soon, but Chen Bo asked for leave and planned to send Li Anle and his family back to Lijiapo.
"Mom, I'm going to Lijiapo to play too."
Chen Xiaohu wanted to watch TV, and Chen Xiaowen also planned to go to her mother-in-law's house since she had been short of money for a long time.
"If you go, don't make any trouble."
"Mom, how old am I?"
Chen Xiaolong also wanted to go, but unfortunately he still had to go to work, but he had new shoes, which he bought in the capital. He could brag about them to his coworkers later, but he didn't want to watch TV.
After breakfast, Li Anle and others went to see my sister-in-law and eldest sister first. They didn't go there a little late yesterday.
"Anle?"
Li Ju looked surprised. "Fourth brother, sister-in-law, Wenwen, when did you come back?"
"Last night, it was too late, so I didn't come over."
"Don't you go to work today?"
"Well, I'll take a rest today."
"Where's the eldest sister?"
"Just went to work."
Li Ju said, "Brother, sister-in-law, please go sit in the room first, and I'll call Li Qi back."
"No, we have to go back to Lijiapo later."
Li Guoxi said, "Don't delay Li Qi's work."
"It's okay, I'll ask her to take leave."
"We'll go back home together later."
As he said that, he pushed the bicycle and went out. He couldn't laugh or cry, but my sister-in-law was quite babbling.
After a while, Li Qi came back, and unexpectedly Liu Hongjun also came with him.
"Brother Li, Consultant Li."
"Director Liu."
Why is this guy here? Li Anle Digu, what's going on? Li Ju whispered. "When Li Qi and I went to ask for leave, Director Liu happened to be present. I heard that you were coming, so I had to follow you."
"Anle, in recent days, Director Liu has often asked me and Li Qi about you." Li Ju said in a low voice.
"Is it rare that you know something about the capital?"
"Sister-in-law, did Li Shuang and the others come back a few days ago?"
"No, I heard that I went to the provincial capital. I won't come back until I'm afraid in the next two days."
"What's wrong?"
No wonder, Liu Hongjun may have already learned about the swine fever in the capital, and Li Anle is now a special consultant to the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries.
"fine."
I never thought that Li Shuang and Jian Jian had not come back yet, but it was true that the exchange team had made great achievements this time. When they returned to the province, they would definitely be praised, and maybe they would have to hold several meetings and make several reports.
After finally seeing off the enthusiastic Liu Hongjun, it was getting late, so everyone piled into a car and returned to Lishan Commune.
"Finally back."
Although I have only been gone for three or four months, it feels like a very long time.
"What's this for?"
"It seems like we welcome Li Shuang and the others back, right?"
The good guy looked at the banner, Advanced Working Group, and Li An smiled and said, I am afraid that both Li Shuang and Jian Jian will benefit.
"go home."
It was already noon when I returned to Lijiapo, and I happened to meet some casual workers.
"Where did the car come from?"
Li Dahu, a member of the production team, was so happy that he almost ran over. He thought Li Shuang was back.
"Uncle Big Tiger."
"Hey, Guoxi?"
"Big Tiger Lord."
"Anle, your family is back. When did you come back?"
