Chapter 13: Keep your word

Zhou Ruonan glared at his youngest son and said to Uncle Wang sheepishly: "Uncle, your meat stall has just opened. It's not easy to do business. Such good meat..."
"Hey!" Uncle Wang interrupted her with a smile, and pulled the two children and said, "No matter how good the meat is, it is for people to eat. Others buy it and eat it. It is better for us to eat it ourselves."
Zhou Ruonan looked at his son who was greedy for meat, his nose felt a little sore, "Thank you, uncle!"
After hearing this, Li Changle's eyes seemed to be filled with something. He looked up at the roof and said with a playful smile: "My uncle still feels sorry for my nephew. He is not willing to sell such good meat for money, so he brought it to us to eat."
"Who cares about you? Give Ah Nan, Xiaobao and the others something to eat." Uncle Wang gave him a look, "You guys with a bad brain will still be like before, not making money to support the family, going out and fooling around every day, watching. How will I deal with you in the future?"
"Yeah! Remember it!" Li Changle quickly assured.
My brother-in-law and my brother-in-law are really nice, unlike my uncle and his parents-in-law, who only speak nice things with their mouths.
It's a pity that he didn't realize until later in his previous life that he would teach you a lesson and that the person who scolded you really had your best interests at heart.
.......
Seeing his correct attitude, Uncle Wang nodded with satisfaction, "I'm going to help others kill pigs, so I'll go back first."
Li Changle suddenly remembered something, "Brother-in-law, are you still working in partnership with the Agen family?"
Agen is the son of Uncle Wang's cousin. Uncle Wang has no capital but has the skill of killing pigs. Agen's family has money but no skills. One of them contributes the skills and the other pays. They jointly set up a vegetable market in a small town a few kilometers away from Xintang Village. Stall selling meat.
After Aman, the eldest son of the Agen family, learned to kill pigs with his uncle, he found an excuse to break up with him. The three of them also slandered his uncle everywhere. In anger, the younger cousin cut off one of Aman's hands and was sentenced to more than ten years. In 2007, my aunt fell ill due to sadness...
Uncle Wang looked back at him, "Yes! What's wrong?"
Li Changle scratched his head, "I told you not to hit me!"
"Say! What are you doing so naughty?" Uncle Wang patted him with his big hand like a cattail leaf fan.
"You know I like to hang out in the town. The day before yesterday, I went to town with some friends to play pool. I heard Aman telling his brother-in-law that you were already teaching him to kill pigs, and that he would break up with you next year at the latest."
Decades have passed, and Li Changle couldn't remember when they broke up, so he could only make it up with more embarrassment, "The monkey brain also said that you are the first poor guy. By then, the meat stalls in the town will only be able to It’s from his family.”
Uncle Wang frowned after hearing this, "Did you hear wrongly?"
"I'm deaf, and Aman has such a big tongue. How can I hear it wrong?" Li Changle looked at him with a hurt expression, "Uncle, I'm your dear nephew. You won't disbelieve me. You only believe in Agen." Home?"
"Nothing!" Uncle Wang sat down and said, "I was thinking just now that these days A Gen and his son often ask me about the secret of harvesting pigs. What you said may be true. I just didn't expect that we have only been working together for half a year. They started making small calculations."
Li Changle: "If you think about it, Agen is inherently cunning. Your business must have been getting better and better in the past six months, so they would decide to break up with you."
Uncle Wang nodded, "In the beginning there were few regular customers, but now there are more and more regular customers. Starting last month, we sell at least two pigs a day on every market day, and we can sell one pig even when the market is free."
The town has a market every seven days, and the income in January is really good.
Li Changle: "After liberalization, more and more people are doing business. Rich people dare to spend their money, and the business of the butcher stall will only get better and better. I think you'd better break up with his family as soon as possible and go it alone." .”
Uncle Wang gave him a sideways look and said in an angry tone: "We know that there are more and more rich people, but you still fool around every day? Look, how many buildings have been built in your village?"
Your family still only has an old house. If you don’t earn money honestly, where will the money for a new house come from? Where will the money come from when Xiaohai Xiaozhou grows up and asks for a wife? "
Li Changle hurriedly sat up straight and reassured, "Don't worry, uncle, I'm already making changes. I'll go fishing in the sea when the tide goes out in the afternoon. You should keep the matter of Agen's family in mind and discuss it with my uncle when you go back."
"I've got it!" Uncle Wang stood up, pointed at Li Changle and said to Zhou Ruonan, "If he dares to fool around again in the future, come to Laotang'an and tell me, and I'll teach him a lesson."
"Thank you, uncle." Zhou Ruonan took the child with Li Changle and sent him and Wang Maolin out of the house.
Wang Maolin looked at the two rooms next door, "Both the eldest cousin and the second cousin are not here, are they?"
Zhou Ruonan: "The elder sister-in-law went to get the network cable, and the second sister-in-law went back to her parents' house to pick up Xiaobo and Xiaotao."
"Then let's go first." Uncle Wang and Wang Maolin waved to the family and walked towards the alley.
Li Changle and his family returned to the house. Zhou Ruonan took out the meat and bones from the net bag and sighed: "My uncle has sent meat to our house several times since he started selling meat. If you go fishing in the sea in the future, we will have good fish." Just send some over."
"Okay!" Li Changle stretched, "I'm going to lie down for a while, and you can call me when the time comes."
Zhou Ruonan nodded and said to the two children: "Xiaohai and Xiaozhou are also going to sleep with dad."
"Oh!" Li Xiaozhou ran towards the room, "Abba, grandma asked us to sleep with you."
My brother and sister have all gone to grandma's house, and it's not fun for them. They might as well sleep with dad and go fishing later.
Li Changle saw him crawling onto the small bed less than two feet away from the big bed with his butt sticking out, "Come and sleep in the same bed with dad."
"No, I like sleeping with my brother. My mother-in-law said you looked ugly when sleeping, and she almost crushed me once." Li Xiaozhou climbed up and lay down, patting the outside, "Brother, come here, I will sleep with you."
"Well!" Li Xiaohai came in and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Li Changle, "Abba, are you really not going to go shopping with brother-in-law Wang Mazi in the future?"
"..." Li Changle was stunned for a moment and looked at his precocious eldest son, "Do you know what illegal goods are?"
Li Xiaohai shook his head, "I don't know, grandma said so. Grandma doesn't want you to go. She said if you are caught by the coast guard, you will go to jail."
Li Xiaozhou sat up, "I don't want my father to go to jail either."
"Abba will not go shopping, and I won't drink or play cards with Wang Mazi in the future." Li Changle said, reaching out to his eldest son and patting his butt lightly as if to cover up, "How old is this little man? Worrying blindly like an old man, worrying about whether you will grow taller in the future."
Only now did he realize that the reason why his eldest son in his previous life was not taller than him as an adult was probably because he worried too much when he was a child and was only concerned about not growing taller.
The saying that poor children become masters early is absolutely true for children who are sensible and obedient.
Looking back now, he felt that his eldest son was so sensible that it made people feel distressed. From elementary school to high school, he never made anyone worry about him. He was just like the legendary child of someone else.
"I will grow taller!" Li Xiaohai climbed onto the bed embarrassedly, lay down neatly and closed his eyes, his eyes rolling around under his eyelids.
After Li Changle saw him, he said to him warmly: "Boss, don't worry, I keep what I say!"
