Chapter 137 Going home with big and small bags
After buying the watch, Li Changle asked the watch seller if he had any sewing machines for sale?
As a result, he was told that he had sewing machines, televisions, refrigerators, and motorcycles everywhere.
The family followed him to a small courtyard not far from the black market, and bought a butterfly sewing machine for 120 yuan. The watch seller taught him how to read the instructions and install it, then helped him carry it to the black market, and then went to work again.
.
After breakfast the next day, Zhou Ruonan said to his two sons: "Grandma wants you to stay with her for a while. Dad will pick you up when school starts, okay?"
Li Xiaozhou nodded immediately, "Okay, I like grandma's house."
Li Xiaohai looked at his grandmother, wanting to stay but reluctant to leave his parents, "Mom, how long until school starts?"
Li Changle said hurriedly: "There are still two weeks. Soon, my father will come home and see you again in a few days."
"Then you come early." Li Xiaohai warned.
"Don't worry, dad will come back when he's done drying the oyster meat." Li Changle rubbed his son's head and said, "Let's go watch TV."
…
After lunch, the two of them were about to go home. Zhou's mother took the clothes she had made for them and put them in her backpack, followed by a large bag of rice cakes cut into thin strips and dried in the sun.
Then there was another bag full of duck eggs, a big bag of brown sugar, and longan and lychee. "I didn't even know your father was in the hospital. You can take these things back and replenish them for your father."
"You put everything the Yan family sent us in our baskets. You can keep these to eat."
"I still have some at home. When I find a cheap one, I buy it and keep it. I'm just waiting for you to come and take it back!" Mother Zhou couldn't help but stuff all the things into the basket on her back, turned around and entered the house again.
Li Changle said to Zhou Ruonan: "Is there more?"
"When has there been a lot of stuff when you go back?" Zhou Ruonan's eyes were a little hot, "It's like this every time I come here. I wish I could bring us all the food back!"
Before she finished speaking, Zhou's mother came out with two more big bags. It turned out to be a bag of bean noodles and a bag of rice noodles. Zhou Ruonan hurriedly stepped forward and continued, "Mom, why are you still buying bean noodles? I just dug sweet potatoes at home.
Will do it.”
Mother Zhou neatly placed the oilcloth bag horizontally on the backpack, "These bean noodles are soft, glutinous and cooked. People from the mountains come to sell them on the street and they are not sold out. A Xiang and I bought them all. They are so cheap!"
"Auntie, stop taking it, we won't be able to carry it anymore." Li Changle felt that she had almost emptied the old cellar at home.
"No, that's all." Mother Zhou tied the rope as she said, "Be careful on the road. Once the dried oyster meat and squid heads are dried, bring them to us to help you sell them."
Zhou Ruonan said reluctantly: "I know, don't be too tired, buy less snacks for Xiaohai and Xiaozhou."
"Go ahead, the rickshaw is waiting!"
Li Changle put the large and small luggage on the rickshaw. After arriving at the station, the rickshaw driver helped put the things on the roof of the car and put them away. The couple took the things given by Zhou's mother and most of the gifts from the Yan family and set off back home.
The family bus.
When the bus arrived in Panzhen, Li Changle woke up Zhou Ruonan, who was sleeping on his shoulder and was drooling. He got off the bus and climbed to the roof of the bus to retrieve the backpack placed on it.
Li Changle was carrying a backpack with the sewing machine tied to it, and two large bags in his hands. Zhou Ruonan was the same. He was so exhausted that he was sweating profusely and walked to the post office to pick up the package. He walked out of Panzhen in the bright sun before stopping
We got on a minibus and headed towards Shatou Village.
Before reaching the village entrance, I saw Chen Yongwei standing at the intersection from a distance.
"Is this guy here to pick us up?"
"It's probably because Awei knows we'll be back in the afternoon."
The car stopped at the intersection, and Li Changle shouted to him through the car window, "Ah Wei, hurry up and help get your things."
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei hurriedly got into the car and saw the things piled in the aisle, "Are they all yours? "Where's Xiaohai, Xiaozhou?"
"I left it with my mother-in-law's family. All these things are here. Let's move them here."
"So many?" Chen Yongwei raised the backpack, "Is it so heavy?"
"There are duck eggs in it, be careful not to break it." Li Changle proudly picked up the sewing machine, "My mother-in-law can't wait to bring me all the food I can eat at home."
Everyone in the car laughed, "There are quite a lot of them, and they are all good things."
Chen Yongwei rolled his eyes, "...Look at how proud you are!"
"Youngster, you won't be jealous unless you quickly find a mother-in-law."
"I'll take care of you after I put your things away." Chen Yongwei put down his backpack, got in the car and took over Zhou Ruonan's oilcloth bag.
With Chen Yongwei's help, Zhou Ruonan saved a lot of effort. The three of them went to the village and arrived home under the bright sun. Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were weaving nets on the eaves of the steps, saw them coming back and rushed to help.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have long been accustomed to the two of them going back to their parents' home once, and then moving large and small bags home. They calmly took the bags Li Changle was carrying and put them at his house.
Mother Li looked around but didn't see her grandson, "Xiaohai, Xiaozhou has stayed with grandma?"
"Leave Na to stay with his grandma for two weeks, and then we'll go pick them up."
"My mother-in-law is so deserted by herself, but it's lively even if the children stay there!"
When Mrs. Li saw the picture of a sewing machine on the carton, she exclaimed, "Oh! It looks like a sewing machine?"
Li Changle nodded proudly, "It's just a sewing machine. It can be used after being disassembled and assembled."
Sister-in-law Li asked enviously: "Nan, did your mother-in-law give it to you, or did you buy it?" It's great to have a rich natal family!
Zhou Ruonan smiled and said: "I bought it. It's cheaper on the black market and I don't need a ticket."
Sister-in-law Li sighed: "Lucheng is great, there is a black market, and things are so cheap."
Never in my wildest dreams did I expect that the third family would be the first to buy big items. After they bought a boat, they would also buy one after they earned money.
"Things on the black market are really much cheaper!" Li Changle raised his hand in a sultry manner, revealing the Citizen on his wrist. "I bought it at 75, and it's an automatic waterproof watch."
"Brother, why don't you buy one for me?" Chen Yongwei liked it at first sight, "Take it off and let me try it."
Li Changle took it off and handed it to him, "I bought the cheapest one. Next time you go together and buy something slightly better."
Young men are different from old men like him, so they need to be more careful.
Sister-in-law Li looked at Li Changle, hesitated, and asked: "Ale, how much did the Tulong sell for that day?"
Li Changle: "The four earth dragons totaled twelve pounds and six taels. They sold for one hundred and eighty-nine. I gave Ah Kun a five-dollar kickback. I used the money to buy a sewing machine and a watch. I will let Ah Nan share the money later."
Here you go."
Second Sister-in-law Li showed a surprised smile, and Sister-in-law Li said happily: "Don't worry, I'm just asking."
Both of them felt that their brother-in-law was more capable and sold one pound for two or three pounds.
Mother Li looked at Li Changle, "I have prepared the incense and candles for the sacrifice, and I have also ordered the tofu. Your uncle will deliver the meat in the afternoon. When the tide starts to rise tomorrow morning, you will go to the waterway to pick up the boat first, and then go to the master when you come back."
Temple to worship the gods."
Whether people here are returning from a boat or moving to a new home, the pillars on their houses will choose the time when the tide is high, which means that the tide of life is rising and the tide is rising.
Li Changle nodded, "Okay, I'm going to Zhangji on the waterway to ride a tricycle, and by the way, I'll stop by Zhangji Boat Shop."
"Your brother and the others also went to Zhang Kee Boat Shop to see the boats. I wonder if there is any news?"
"Take your time and ask more people."
Seeing that mother and son had agreed, Zhou Ruonan put the things for Li's mother into the backpack, "Auntie, these things were bought by my mother for my father."
"My mother-in-law is really too kind. Your father is already well, yet you still buy so many things."
Mother Li lowered her head and saw the malted milk and pastries in the basket on her back. She looked at the two of them angrily, "Why are you buying such expensive things? Why didn't you stop your mother-in-law?"
"My grandma didn't buy the malted milk and cakes. They were given by the Yan family after A Le saved the Yan family's children..."
"It's good to save people. If you are a fellow villager, please help if you can." Mother Li said and smiled, "Ale had a lot of fun in the town before, and he also learned the skill of saving people."
Li Changle was speechless, "Mom, you can praise me as much as you want. What are you doing with me?"
"I'm not talking nonsense, you used to hang out outside every day!" Mother Li gave him a dirty look and happily went home with her basket on her back.
"It's all my fault!" Li Changle shrugged, went into the house to get the receipt from the Zhang family, took the cakes Zhou Ruonan gave Chen Grandma, and left with Chen Yongwei.
"Brother, yesterday my eldest brother and my second brother and I went to look for earth dragons on the rocks, but we couldn't even find one in the earth dragon cave. We were busy all morning and caught some small fish smaller than a palm and a dozen stone crabs. I was too lazy to sell them.
Go sell it and take it home to eat."
Chen Yongwei looked at him with a smile, "Brother, I'd better go shopping with you to have fun."
"Then did you go collect the jars this morning?" Li Changle was also a little surprised. Could it be that he still had a koi physique after being reborn?
"Okay, we collected a total of more than 70 Wangchao and more than 60 kilograms of octopus. Uncle Kun picked 54 Wangchao and collected 30 kilograms of octopus."
"How's the jar harvest going for Big Brother and Second Brother?"
"Uncle Kun picked out more than 20 Wangchao from them. We sent the rest of the octopus and Wangchao to the fish market to sell. The octopus was sold for 50 cents and Wangchao for 50 cents. The price is better than the price.
The restaurant is better, but it takes a little more work."
"It's not bad. You even know how to send it to the fish market for sale."
"Second brother heard that it was a good deal to go to the fish market, so he took us there." Chen Yongwei paused, "I almost forgot. Uncle Kun asked you to come back and visit him. He said he had something good for you."
"Good things come to me?"
"Yeah! That's what he said."
Li Changle thought for a moment and couldn't guess what was going on. "Get the boat back and go again."
As they were talking, they arrived at the entrance of Chenjia Alley. Li Changle handed him the vegetable basket, "Hurry and take it back to Grandma. I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, I'll be quick." Chen Yongwei didn't show any pretense, he took the basket and ran home.
Li Changle took out a cigarette and lit it. He leaned against the wall and took a few puffs. He felt that someone was watching him. He turned around and saw a pretty young woman in a light pink dress walking towards this side with her child in hand.
The woman approached and smiled at him, "Ale, what are you doing here?"
