Chapter 43: The difference is money and confidence
Li Xiaozhou looked at his cousin and sister proudly, "Brother, sister, are the fire pancakes delicious? There is meat in them!"
Li Xiaoqing stroked his curly hair, "Have you and your brother eaten it?"
"I've eaten." Li Xiaozhou felt happy when he thought that his father had bought delicious candies just for him and his brother.
"It's delicious!" Li Xiaotao took a small bite of the fire-roasted cake, "Uncle San is still generous. I like Uncle San the best."
"That's right!" Li Xiaoyang echoed his brother, "My grandma is very stingy. She won't even buy us a piece of candy when we go to town, and she orders us to do this and that every day."
Li Changle smiled and slapped him, "If you dare to complain when you do some work, let your mother-in-law hear it, and I'll spank you until your ass blossoms."
"Eh..." Li Xiaoyang quickly shut up.
"Third uncle, second aunt and Xiaohui are also back." Li Xiaoqing said to Li Changle.
"Everything is there. If they want to eat, let them come and get it themselves!" Anyway, he bought it for everyone. If he doesn't come to get it, he will eat it at home. He is too lazy to ask Anan to send it to her house. He is being polite to her!
He still likes his eldest sister-in-law more than his second sister-in-law. Although she has her own little plans and a bit of a bad mouth, she treats them as a family.
.......
The second sister-in-law made the distinction too clearly, which made her seem less humane!
Zhou Ruonan put down the ruler and stood up, "Are you hungry? The meal is ready."
"Ah, I bought pork belly and wanted you to make braised pork! The weather is so stuffy, will it smell bad in the afternoon?"
Zhou Ruonan smiled and said: "It's okay, it won't stink so quickly!"
"That's good, let's eat the fire pancakes first!" Li Changle smiled and sent the bucket to her and Sister Li, "You have some too."
Sister-in-law Li smiled and said, "We have some too!"
Li Changle said with a smile: "Is it possible that you are still polite to me?"
"I'm not being polite to you!" Sister-in-law Li put down the shuttle string with a smile, wiped her hands on her apron, and reached for one. "Did you get a good price for today's catch?"
"What difference can a snow eel make!"
Sister-in-law Li asked Father Li again how the removal of snake venom was going.
Li Changle told the two of them the situation, and they were very happy to learn that they would be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow.
Li Changle walked back with the bucket, and Chen Yongwei followed him and put down the net bag and backpack, "Brother, I will send the meat back first, and the plastic cans will be tied up with you after I have eaten."
"Wait a minute, divide the money first and then leave." Li Changle put down the bucket, took out the sugar and fire cakes, and then took out his own meat to Zhou Ruonan.
"My sister-in-law helped clean up for so long last night, so I called my sister-in-law and a few children over to eat together in the afternoon."
"Okay!" Zhou Ruonan picked up a bag of fire cakes, "I'll deliver it to my second sister-in-law's house."
Li Changle said hurriedly: "Don't go. Xiaoqing went to call Xiaohui and her sister. It's clear that the second sister-in-law is in charge of the child and won't let him come. Why are you sending it away? Keep it for your son to eat."
"I've already bought everything, so why bother!" Zhou Ruonan said warmly, "It's not like you don't know the temperament of my second sister-in-law. It's better than those petty and mean-spirited ones, right?"
"Well, my wife is still virtuous!" Li Changle looked at her playful smile and said, "For the sake of my second brother, I won't be as knowledgeable as her."
"..." Zhou Ruonan glared at him and walked away with the fire cake.
Chen Yongwei turned Li Changle around and said, "Brother, your eyes are so bright. Your sister-in-law is virtuous, good-looking, and educated. Even Meilan, the party secretary, can't compare!"
"That's it, how else would I be willing to go through all the difficulties and marry her as my wife!"
"Come on, it's obvious that you shamelessly pestered your sister-in-law, so she agreed to have sex with you."
"As the saying goes, a martyr woman is afraid of a stalker, and an evil ghost is afraid of Zhong Kui. If you had Brother's ability, Ami would have entered your house long ago."
"I'd better forget it!"
"Promise! Sit down and share the money!"
Li Changle took out a stack of large unity. When the two of them were crossing the bridge, each of them had paid twelve and a half yuan in advance, and there was still one hundred yuan left. He counted fifty yuan to Chen Yongwei.
Chen Yongwei didn't answer, "Brother, it's too much. Why did you give me so much?"
Li Changle said: "The bait is from your family. The ground pots and crab pots are the same for both our families. We will share the money from this sale equally. When you go back and make an agreement with your grandma, we will discuss the partnership or do it for me. .”
He always remembered that when he was in the most difficult time in his previous life, apart from his close relatives, Awei extended a helping hand to him like a brother. In his previous life, he never had the chance to repay his kindness.
Now that I have relived my life, I can repay the debt I owed in my previous life if I have the chance.
But we can’t get together like this in a daze, otherwise we will feel that he got too little and the division was unfair.
"I understand." Chen Yongwei said, took out forty yuan, pushed the remaining ten yuan in front of him, and said:
"Brother, I work alone. When I'm lucky, I can earn a few dollars or ten, but if I'm not lucky, I can't even earn a dollar.
I don't want that much. Including the advance in town, I got more than fifty-two yuan, which is enough.
As you said in the morning, I will tell my grandma when I get back, and I just want to do it with you."
Li Changle looked at this silly boy and felt that it was lucky that this kid had chosen him as his brother. If he had chosen him as his brother, he would have been destined to be a long-term laborer for the rest of his life.
"Awei, listen to me. Brothers should settle accounts clearly, and friends should settle accounts clearly. Whether you want to work with me or help me pay for my work, you have to talk to your grandma beforehand. As promised, I will only dare to take you with me after she agrees.
Also, you feel now that it’s just you and your grandma, and she doesn’t have much demands on you. Of course you don’t care about anything. When you get married and start a family in the future, your wife won’t think so.
Therefore, we have to agree before we do anything and set the rules to avoid hurting our feelings for money later."
Chen Yongwei looked at him in frustration, "Brother, I'm stupid. I only have two stone houses at home, and I have a grandma to support. No girl will be willing to marry me."
"Fool!" Li Changle rolled his eyes at him, "Look at the old bachelor in the next village, who is lame on one leg and is only a little taller than Xiao Yang. He is simply a cripple.
Since his grandfather came back from Wanwan last year, he has become a member of the Wanwan family, he is in his thirties, and he has even found a girl in her twenties to be his wife!"
Chen Yongwei nodded, "I know. I heard that his grandfather brought back a lot of money and built him a three-story western-style building. There is also a big color TV and a motorcycle at home!"
"So, you are not worse than him in any way. What is worse is money and confidence! As long as you have a lot of money, not to mention Ami, there will be enough money for a big girl to marry you!"
Money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money!
Things are a little better these days. There are few rich people and the gap between rich and poor in the village is not big. In a few years, more people will go out to do business and buy big ships to go to sea. The gap between rich and poor will widen immediately.
