Chapter 117 Gathering
Li Changle thought about the past and felt that it was true that since Grandma left, the family's misfortunes had happened one after another.
"Brother, I'm feeling better now, and it will only get better in the future."
Brother Li smiled and nodded, "Ale, as long as you follow the right path, it will be the greatest joy for our family!"
"Second brother, I haven't done anything bad before!" Li Changle didn't expect that his second brother, who used to be angry when he saw him, would say such things.
"I don't do bad things, but I don't do any good things either."
Brother Li also nodded repeatedly, "A'an is right. When I came back this time, the happiest thing was hearing them talk about you Taohai. When A'an and I first heard about it, we were both shocked. We thought they were talking about someone else.
.”
"Hahaha!" Brother Li laughed, "The eldest brother also asked A Dong if he made a mistake?"
Li Changle didn't feel surprised at all that he asked Brother Li such a question. When they left, he was still a lazy dog!
Pretending to be sad, he said: "Oh, that's so hurtful. Are you still my brother? Besides my name is A Le, who else is there in the village?"
"Hey! I still believe it, but it feels a bit sudden!" Brother Li picked up the bucket, rushed down with his pocket, and poured the remaining water in the bucket onto Li Changle's head, which was covered with soap foam.
"It's good now. When Ah Huan changes her career and comes back and finds a job, our family will only get better and better."
Li Changle and Li Changan nodded heavily, "It will definitely get better and better."
"Ale, everyone says you are lucky. Let's go fishing together tomorrow morning."
"Tomorrow morning I am going to Lucheng to visit my mother-in-law. When I come back, we will go to the waterway to bring back the fishing boat and go to the desert island to fish for sea."
"Okay, we'll also go to my mother-in-law's house when we get back."
"We're all going to my mother-in-law's house. I should be jealous."
The three brothers were laughing and joking by the well. Mother Li, who was washing fish on the eaves, and Father Li, who was helping to make a floor cage. Listening to the laughter of their three sons, the corners of their mouths raised, and the fine lines on their faces spread out like water ripples.
.
Li Changle, who was washed first, ran into the yard with his plastic sandals, "Mom, have you had lunch?"
"No! The meal is ready and I'll wait for you to come back." Mother Li picked up the killed large yellow croaker and said, "I wanted to eat it but I couldn't eat it last time. I'll make two today to make you happy."
"Drink a drink at noon!" Li Changle looked at Father Li, "Abba, just be patient. When you get better, I will buy a jar of old wine and come back to drink it slowly with you."
"Why don't you buy old wine? You have more money and you can't spend it in a hurry?" Father Li thought about it and said, "When you build your new house, you can buy whatever wine you want."
"Abba, when the time comes, each of our brothers will buy a jar for you to drink!" Brother Li said cheerfully.
"Why are you standing here when you're all wet? Go back and change into dry clothes." Father Li waved to the three of them like he was chasing ducks.
"Brother-in-law, what good thing has happened to you and you are so happy?" Uncle Wang carried a pair of pig's feet and a knife of meat to the yard.
Father Li hurriedly stood up while holding on to the wall, "Just come and play, why are you carrying so many things?"
Uncle Wang said with a smile: "The pig's feet are shaped to complement the shape, and the ribs are very popular among the children."
After settling the issue of joint venture with Wang Agen, he felt that the sky was a lot brighter.
Father Li glared at him, feeling that Li Changle's unpredictable temperament was just like his, "Aping, A'an is back too, let's have a drink together."
"Oh, they're all back!" Uncle Wang hung the meat on the bamboo pole and stepped forward to help Li's father sit down. "Brother-in-law, I think A Le is really mature now. You should feel relieved now, right?"
After a pause, he added, "I told you before that men become wiser later. Am I right?"
"In hindsight!" Li's father glanced at him, "Who was it that kept saying that Ahua and I spoiled a good child? They also said that we would send him to his home and teach him, and he was guaranteed to change drastically in half a year.
"
"A Le doesn't want to kill pigs with me, so there's nothing I can do about it!" Uncle Wang pulled up a bench and sat next to him, looking at him cheerfully, "You know what A Le lent me the money, right? I'll do it.
Give him the deed."
After hearing this, Father Li nodded and shook his head, "You are serious too. You are his uncle. He should help you if he has money. Why do you need to get a deed?"
"If it hadn't been for Ah Le, I would have been pinched by that hozen. It was just right to give my butt to Ah Le." Uncle Wang said, taking out a piece of paper from his pocket, "I and Ah Le are four and six, and he is four and I am
Six, a bonus will be distributed once a month.”
"He told you when he came back that day that he agreed to you because he was afraid that if you didn't accept his money, Wang Gen's monkey would take advantage of it. You listen to me and put it away quickly."
Uncle Wang thought that Li's father was worried about losing money in partnership with him, so he hurriedly explained: "Brother-in-law, let me tell you, the business of the butcher stall is really good. I have made more than 300 yuan with that hozen in a few months of partnership.
A Le will definitely make money by partnering with me. Besides, he is my nephew, and I would rather suffer a loss myself than let him suffer a loss."
"I know you make money, and you are his biological uncle. If I don't believe it, who do you believe?" Father Li said, "You listen to me, you use the money first, and when Ah Le wants to use it, you can pay him back."
Of course he believed in his brother-in-law's character. In recent years, he was the only one who didn't dislike their family's poverty.
Now he was in trouble, and Ah Le just happened to have it again. As the old saying goes, if your mother is older than your uncle, your uncle will give you 40% of your penis if you borrow it, and if someone knows you, you will be stabbed in the back.
What’s more, Ah Le knows nothing about the business of the butcher stall and can’t help him at all. It’s always not good to hold shares and get dividends over time.
"That doesn't make sense. We agreed to partner with him!" Uncle Wang stood up and said, "I won't tell you anymore. I'll go find A Le."
Father Li had absolutely nothing to do with his brother-in-law, so he had to go to the ditch with a cane and ask Mother Li to come back and tell him.
As soon as Uncle Wang walked to the door of Li Changle's house, he saw Li Changle who had changed his clothes and came out, "It got dark after I split my stock with Wang Genxuan that day. I sold two pigs before I came here today."
"Hey! Business is good!" Li Changle pulled out the bamboo chair, asked him to sit down, and went to pour him a glass of water. "The eldest brother and the second brother are back. Auntie is washing the large yellow croaker, and we will have a drink together later.
.”
Uncle Wang's hand holding the water glass paused, and he said happily: "There is a big yellow croaker, it's a good treat today!"
"I found a lot of shrimps and black sea bream while shopping today. I remember my sister-in-law likes them the most. You can bring two kilograms back later."
"Just remember your sister-in-law and what she likes to eat. Why can't you remember?"
"Do you like turtle eggs and seahorses?" Li Changle winked at him, "I have both!"
Even though Uncle Wang is a generation older than them, his thinking is not old-fashioned at all. He often jokes with them. Mother Li often says that they are not too old or too young.
"Eat firewood!" Uncle Wang gave him a look, then he picked up the water glass and took a few sips of water. He took out the deed from his pocket as soon as he wiped his mouth, "I came today to deliver the deed, four or six...
"
"Brother-in-law," Li Changle quickly interrupted him, "You really don't need it. I'll lend it to you for a few months, and you'll pay it back to me after you turn around."
"Who do you think your brother-in-law is? You're kind enough to help me, but I've even given up my nephew's business. How can I see others and do business in the future?"
"If you lend money to your uncle, you need 40% of his shares, so who am I? You are my uncle, and you can't bear to see me get stabbed in the spine? Anyway, I don't want it, so why don't you go borrow the money and pay me back?"
"
Uncle Wang glared, "You stinky boy, you want to eat the firewood, right?"
"Uncle, we really can't ask for the shares." Zhou Ruonan came out of the kitchen and said, "Now we don't need the money. You listen to A Le, take the turnover for a few months and then pay us back."
Mother Li strode in with the fish in her hand, "Ah Hui, just listen to Ah Nan. Besides, I won't recognize you as my brother."
When Uncle Wang saw several people saying this, he had no choice but to back down, "Ale, I'll give you two cents interest, and I'll pay you back the money you borrowed at the end of the year. If you want to use it in the middle, just come to my uncle to get it."
"One penny of profit!" Li Changle knew that if he didn't charge interest, he would really go to another place to borrow it and pay it back to him. "You are my uncle. If I charge you a penny of profit, I would blush."
Uncle Wang felt that his nephew was really kind to him for nothing, "Okay! I'm shamelessly taking advantage of you today."
Li Changle smiled and said: "One family does not speak the same language."
After the nephew and uncle made an agreement, Uncle Wang asked Zhou Ruonan to get a pen and paper, write an IOU, and then they sat down together and chatted about daily life.
After a while, Brother Li and Brother Li also came. The nephews and uncles sat together chatting and bragging, while Zhou Ruonan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy adding food in the kitchen.
Steamed yellow croaker, braised hairtail, boiled shrimp, nine-section shrimp, glutinous corn and winter melon stewed pork ribs, braised pork.
Li Changle asked Li Xiaohai to go to Chen Yongwei's house and called his grandfather and grandson together. The two families sat at two tables, peeling shrimps, drinking old wine and chatting.
People at the seaside are very wet, so every time they come back from the sea, they have to take a few sips to get rid of the cold.
Li Xiaotao took a bite of the ribs and drank two sips of the soup. "Brother, sister, the ribs stewed with corn are delicious. Let me do the same in the future."
"My father taught me how to make it, isn't it delicious?" Li Xiaozhou proudly said to him.
"It's delicious. Third uncle is the best at eating. The food cooked by aunt is also delicious. My aunt cooked it. Alas..." Li Xiaotao glanced at Sister Li and swallowed the rest of his words.
The adults at the table burst out laughing.
Sister-in-law Li rolled her eyes at him and wanted to scold him, but when she saw Uncle Wang drinking with Li Changping, she endured it again and made a mental note to figure it out together later.
Mother Li said happily: "Of the children in the family, A Tao's playful temperament is the most like A Le's. Xiao Hai is sensible and obedient, and his temperament is like A Niang's."
It is said that one can look eighty at the age of three. Xiaohai will start to feel sorry for others when he is just a little bit old. He is so sensible that people feel sorry for him.
"Grandma, who do I look like?" Li Xiaozhou asked hurriedly.
Mother Li looked at him lovingly, "You talk early, you are only over one year old, and you have a big mouth. Just like your father, Xiaomei wants to snatch everything, and the two brothers are like black-eyed chickens.
If you see someone, pinch them; if you don’t see them, ask again.”
Li Xiaomei quickly complained, "Grandma, Xiaozhou snatched my water gun yesterday!"
Li Xiaozhou: "I just played with it for a while. My brother said I couldn't take my sister's things, so I gave them back to you."
"Then you can't steal anything from me in the future, or I won't help you fight Lao Wuyou."
"Okay, I'll give you my conch to play with later."
