Chapter 175 Daily

Two hours later...

Li Xing cried and asked for his father, but Lou Xiu tried to persuade her to no avail. After calculating the time, it was almost time to rest, so she carried Li Xing to the backyard.

But as soon as I entered the backyard and approached the door, I heard a soft and soft sound coming from faintly...

She hugged the child and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Li Xing shouted loudly: "Dad! Dad!"

Li Yuan also spoke: "Son, dad will come out soon."

Li Xing couldn't wait any longer and said loudly: "Dad! Dad!"

The struggle was so strong that Lou Xiu couldn't hold her for a moment, broke away from her arms, and ran inside.

Lou Xiu was shocked and chased after him.

But for a two-year-old child, even though he sometimes stumbles when walking, when he runs, he bounces like a little rabbit, but his calves move very fast.

The more people are chasing you, the harder you run.

When he pushed open the door and ran in, Lou Xiucai had just chased him to the door.

Looking up, I saw that Li Yuan was naked from the waist up, wearing only shorts and no shoes or socks. He picked up Li Xing and lifted him high, and the father and son laughed together.

Lou Xiao'e was still leaning on the quilt, with a pretty face like a peach blossom, and a springy look between her eyebrows. It made people angry just to look at it...

Lou Xiu is very talented. He thought of a poem in an instant:

She suppressed her shame and stood at the door to greet Li Xing: "Tangyuan, let's go out and see rhubarb."

Li Xing shook his head, hugged Li Yuan tightly and said, "I want daddy!"

Lou Xiu was not discouraged and said: "Third Aunt, there are toffee here."

Li Xing was shaken, hesitating again and again, his face twitching, but he finally chose toffee...

Seeing Li Xing open his arms to hug him, Lou Xiu had no choice but to step forward to pick him up.

It was inevitable that he would come into contact with Li Yuan's skin, and he felt like his body was being electrified.

A strong manly scent came over her face, making her a little dizzy.

Li Yuan noticed her discomfort and said, "Third sister, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to the time..."

Lou Xiu was so embarrassed that she could not help but feel angry, but now she felt relieved when she saw Li Yuan apologizing and said: "It doesn't matter..." After a pause, she felt that it was inappropriate to say this, so she used her sister's attitude to persuade her: "You You are still a doctor, be careful not to hurt your body, how can you do it for so long..."

But in the middle of the sentence, he still couldn't say any more. He hugged Li Xing and turned away, with a graceful back.

Behind her, Lou Xiao'e suddenly started laughing. Li Yuan turned around and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at him, her eyes as thick as honey, and said, "It's great to have you back..."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, it's great to be home."

Li Yuan always felt that his tone of voice was a little weird, a little veered in the direction of taboo and perversion. He shook his head and did not continue to ask further questions. He said: "You lie down for a while, and I will go to the kitchen to prepare lunch. After lunch, I will go Let’s take a walk. Two masters’ houses, Aunt Wang’s house, and the houses of some professors from the medical school.”

Lou Xiao'e refused to lie down any longer. She struggled to get up and asked Li Yuan to help her get dressed. Then she supported him and went to the kitchen together.

However, after arriving in the kitchen, Li Yuan still found a recliner for her and let her lie on one side. He chatted with his wife and cooked while holding a kitchen knife with his back to Lou Xiao'e. From time to time, something that was not in the kitchen appeared in his hand. thing.

Lou Xiao'e only had Li Yuan in her eyes, smiling and talking about lovesickness without noticing anything else.

Li Yuan listened to her chattering for a while and then laughed and said, "You took your son to the master's house, and even Jianguo gave him 50 cents of glutinous rice balls as a new year's gift?"

Lou Xiao'e giggled and said: "Well, he said he was a junior uncle, and he saved up for a long time. I didn't let him ask for the glutinous rice balls, and he got angry, so he had to take them. He pretended to be a young adult and gave them to me. Tangyuan said a few auspicious words and asked Tangyuan to study hard when he grew up. Master and the others almost laughed to death. But they didn’t pretend for too long. He insisted on holding Tangyuan and taught him how to set off firecrackers, and then asked Uncle Sun to slap him. Pat ran away."

Li Yuan laughed, and Lou Xiao'e said: "Yue Ling also said that Jianguo dared to secretly take glutinous rice balls to set off firecrackers. When you come back, you will be designated to deal with him."

Li Yuan thought, why should he be used to deal with it? It was already 1962, and now he had begun to encourage primary and secondary school graduates to work in the countryside. There was a lot of potential.

Just a few days ago, on February 14, the higher authorities issued instructions on the "Decision to Continue to Reduce the Urban Population by Seven Million in the First Half of 1962."

The situation feels extremely critical...

In another five or six years, Jianguo will just graduate from high school. It will be difficult for him not to leave the authentic third grade...

Forget it, let him live happily for a few years.

Li Yuan asked: "How about going to Aunt Wang's house?"

Lou Xiaoe said: "Don't mention it, Aunt Wang's house is a little unhappy."

Li Yuanqi asked: "What happened to her family?"

Lou Xiao'e said: "Aunt Wang's youngest son is back. He is Sister Xuemei's husband, and his name is Song Shengli. He was originally a company commander in the XX Army and had a promising future. Uncle Song called him back without Aunt Wang's consent. , to be sent to the north to guard the frontier. The conditions of the XX army in the hinterland cities in the interior are relatively good. But the conditions in the ice and snow in the north are much worse.

Yuanzi, what do you think Uncle Song thinks? "

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "No matter how you think about it, he is noble and respectable. He is over fifty, and he has made contributions to the water well pressing. Now he is the boss of the Chengdong Bureau. But in the future, basically That's it, he's old enough, there's no need to fight for fame and fortune.

We can all guess that the north is dangerous, and he will not be unaware. To be able to make this kind of decision, Uncle Song must have suffered a lot in his heart. Especially since there was something going on at Master's house ahead...but he still did it.

The eldest and second eldest son of the Song family had performed second-class meritorious service on the battlefield of the Jin family. Over the years, their positions had also been promoted, making them difficult to mobilize. The third child is still in the right company and is easier to control. But the lower the position, it also means being at the forefront.

Uncle Song is amazing. "

Lou Xiao'e said: "Aunt Wang was very angry, but she meant that no matter whether this matter should be done or not, Uncle Song should not have made his own decision without consulting her. Sister Xuemei did not dare to say anything, and kept saying Crying. Brother Shengli loves to laugh, and kept trying to persuade Aunt Wang and Sister Xuemei. Uncle Song didn’t even explain, he just said that the transfer order had been issued. If it didn’t work, he also applied and went together."

Li Yuandao: "How are you now? Are you still making trouble?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and said: "Aunt Wang is a reformer after all. She felt better after seeing me bringing glutinous rice balls to celebrate the New Year. But you are careless when scolding you. It's not okay to stand up before it's your turn." Think about your wife and children at home. Hehe."

Obviously, in her heart, she may not agree with Li Yuan taking over this hard job on behalf of Master Zhao Yehong.

Li Yuan looked back at his wife and smiled, saying: "There are some things that a man must do. A gentleman has something to do and something not to do. But please rest assured, my personal consciousness is far from comparable to that of Master and Uncle Song. All my hard work is to hope that our family can live a good life.

Unless the little Japs invade China again and an all-out war breaks out, and if we don't fight, we will become slaves of the country. At that time, my old Li brothers will wear armor, and my father will go to war. No matter what, we cannot let our descendants become slaves to the subjugation of the country.

But apart from that, for me, the lives of our family are above all else.

Ezi, you must remember this sentence.

Any decision I make is to make our long life better. "

Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Yuan and nodded: "Don't worry, I will listen to you. If you go on a business trip, I don't blame you at all."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Have you gone to Fangjiayuan?"

Lou Xiao'e responded: "I went... By the way, Brother Wang gave the glutinous rice balls a fire-painted gourd, which was a red cliff painted on the gourd. I liked the glutinous rice balls very much, but I put them away because I was worried that my son would break them. "

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Then we make a profit. Brother Wang's things are all treasures."

Lou Xiao'e said: "We met Mr. Zhu Jiasu before we left. Mr. Zhu Jiasu was a little angry when he saw us. It means that our two families are neighbors, but we actually went to Brother Wang's house to pay New Year's greetings first. He was very serious. They tried to reason with me, saying, "That boy Yuanzi and Wang Chang'an know each other, and I am the matchmaker. You can't just throw the matchmaker over the wall when your wife comes in, right?" Everyone laughed for a while, and then I went with the glutinous rice balls. The Zhu family. Mr. Zhu Jiasu also gave Tangyuan a book and asked me to read it to Tangyuan when I had nothing to do. It was called "Gang Jian Yi Zhi Lu". I was confused by reading it, so I asked my sister to read it. She said the book was good. .”

"Gangjian Yizhilu" is a chronicle of general history. The content recorded in the book starts from the opening of the world in ancient legends, and ends in the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The author Wu Chengquan of the Qing Dynasty, by the way, he also has a book called "Guwen Guanzhi".

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Mr. Zhu is not honest, look at what Brother Wang gave me, what he gave me. This is why our family went to Fangjiayuan Courtyard first, and he had the nerve to ask!"

Lou Xiao'e chuckled and said: "Mr. Zhu himself also laughed at himself and said that his family is not rich and cannot compare with Brother Wang, who has only had a hairpin for generations. But Mr. Zhu said that when you come back, you will definitely go Mr. Mei Lanfang’s New Year’s greetings, please be sure to bring glutinous rice balls, because there are so many good things in Mei’s house.”

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Forget about the Mei Mansion, the more it is like this, the less you can get too close."

Although Mr. Mei Lanfang has a detached status, he is already a postcard of the country to the outside world.

Don't you see that when every important foreign guest arrives, Mei Lanfang will be invited to perform.

So in common sense, as long as the body is fine, this person should be able to survive.

But those years were not the years of common sense...

So let’s all be well for now.

More than half an hour later, when Li Xing came to find his father again, Lou Xiu went to the kitchen and found that Li Yuan had prepared four dishes and one soup.

Compared with Lou Xiao'e's sloppy, Lou Xiu is much more refined.

Before Li Yuan left, she learned how to make complementary food for the child, and learned a few home-cooked dishes along the way.

So she knew exactly what was in the kitchen.

These are fish and chicken, and there is a plate of scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts... Where is the dish that can be eaten at this time?

She widened her eyes and looked at Li Yuan in confusion...

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Eat, don't ask any questions. I just told Ezi that all my hard work is to let my family eat well and live a good life. When you go on a business trip, you must bring some Good things are coming back.”

Lou Xiu took a deep look at Li Yuan, but didn't ask any further questions...

…

After eating a big meal, the sense of happiness on Lou Xiaoe's face deepened, and she said, "Sister's cooking is also delicious, but Yuanzi's cooking is the best!"

Lou Xiu gave her a blank look and smiled at Li Yuan: "We went to other people's homes during the Chinese New Year and they all cooked good food. We didn't eat much. Others just thought we were the daughters of capitalists and we ate too much good food."

Li Yuan asked: "The powder I left for you, did you wipe it off before going out?"

Lou Xiu nodded and said: "Of course. Otherwise, if you go out with such a complexion, it will inevitably cause misunderstandings."

Lou Xiao'e saw Li Xing scooping out the rice with a spoon and her son was eating big mouthfuls. Her smile became sweeter. She turned to Li Yuan and asked: "Yuanzi, when will days like this end? But my father is very happy. He said At the meeting of 7,000 people just held, it was said that this year is the most critical year for the adjustment of the national economy, and it was also said that we must pay close attention to the economy... Dad said that it meant that we should stop punishing people and focus on the economy, Dad said I saw hope..."

Li Yuan just said "Yeah" and said nothing.

If we really follow this meeting, maybe a miracle will happen.

What a pity, what a pity...

Lou Xiu was smart and said to Li Yuan: "Dad has been waiting for you to come back. The eldest brother is in Hong Kong Island and the second brother is in Guangdong. There is no other man in the family who can discuss things with him. I guess he may have some big things he wants to discuss with you. .”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Let me take a tour first, and then we will go back to Lou Mansion for dinner in the evening."

He suspected that his father-in-law was eager to find him because he wanted Shoryū Maru again, right?

This old father-in-law has an old heart.

…

"Master, happy New Year!"

When Li Yuan knocked on the door of No. 9 Beixincang Courtyard and saw Zhang Dongya, who had lost a lot of weight, he greeted with a smile.

However, Zhang Dongya looked at his apprentice as if he had seen a ghost, and his eyes almost popped out in disbelief.

In front of a great expert, the strength cannot be seen only by passing a move. You can hear the strength as soon as you meet them.

When Li Yuan saw his mentor like this, he didn't say much. A big dragon stake was placed, and he only heard a "snap" sound of neither light nor weight. In the ears of ordinary people, the sound was ordinary, but it fell in Zhang Dongya's ears. Explodes like thunder!

He slowly looked at Li Yuan's feet. A square stone brick had been broken into pieces silently...

Zhang Dongya took a long breath and praised three times: "Okay, okay, okay!"
