Through 1979

After school in the afternoon, Li Ran went out with a dark face.

Seeing him like this, Hu Jianjun gloated and joked with Fang Dashan. Fang Dashan held his younger brother Fang Xiaoshan by his left hand, and just nodded his head while listening to Hu Jianjun's words.

His temperament is just like his name, honest and honest, he really can't do Hu Jianjun's behavior of adding salt to the wound.Turning his head to see Li Ran's stern face when he left the school gate, he kept silent. After thinking about it for a while, he leaned over and asked, "Are you okay?" There was a cautious tone in his tone.

Li Ran felt uncomfortable when he heard this tone. He wondered in his heart, he was the one who helped Fang Dashan first in the morning, so how could he be more familiar with Hu Jianjun?

Turning his head and showing a smiling expression, Li Ran said: "Of course it's fine, what can happen."

That's right, what could be the matter, isn't it just the first day at school that children treated them as scourges and couldn't hide them, and the people who helped me just looked afraid of themselves, other than that what's the matter.

Sighing, Li Ran always felt that he had a good relationship with children, but Xiao Gang was very clingy to him before he got divorced.Huzi and Lili also like him very much, why did he become like this when he came to school.

Thinking of buying pig bones, Li Ran told them to gather in the town first, while he walked in the opposite direction to the pork seller.

The owner of the pork shop is not fat, but he has a lot of muscles on his arms, which shows that he is very strong at a glance.Seeing Li Ran approaching, the boss thought he was going to buy meat, so he picked up the knife and asked, "What kind of meat do you want? How much?"

Li Ran shook his head quickly: "Uncle, I want to buy some pig bones."

After hearing this, the owner of the pork shop didn't go to get the bones immediately, but stared at Li Ran carefully, and said in a low voice, "You and your mother also came yesterday, bought the bones and went back, why did you buy those?"

Li Ran knew that it would not be long to hide the bone matter, and he was not prepared to hide it for a long time, he just felt that a day of delay was just a day.

After thinking about it, if it was said that I bought it for dogs, no one would believe it. Li Ran pondered for a while, and then said to the boss: "I told the uncle, you can't tell." He looked afraid that people would know.

Seeing his appearance, the boss nodded quickly. Sure enough, there was a problem. He said how could someone buy back this kind of pig bones that no one wanted, and it must be of some use.If it was really of great use, he would sell it so cheaply and die without losing money.

Li Ran was on his mind, so he didn't point it out: "A few days ago, an uncle of mine hurt his leg while working. My mother heard that it is very useful to make up the body, so she wanted to buy some bones and burn them for my uncle. "

The boss frowned when he heard this: "Don't fool me, eat it while burning it, what's the way to eat it?"

Li Ran showed the boss's expression of "Why don't you even understand this": "You see, my mother bought meat for a rare time yesterday. Uncle hurt his leg. He must buy meat and send it over. Our family can't afford it." , I don’t have the money to send this over. I can only buy some bones as a gift.” After speaking, he added: “My uncle is good, I definitely don’t mind.”

The boss nodded understandingly. Burning and eating was just a pretense. It turned out that he was too poor to give gifts, but the gift of pig bones was really picky.

After figuring out the reason, he knew that the pig bones were still poor pig bones that couldn't be sold at a high price. The boss walked into the basin in a dispirited manner and took out the bones and handed them to Li Ran: "The price is the same as yesterday, take it and leave. I said In the future, don’t give this to your family as a gift, how can you get it out.”

Li Ran wrapped the pig bones with the paper in the shop, and replied to the boss: "Uncle, you don't know, my uncle was seriously injured, and my mother said to deliver it every day, so no one dared to say that you picked it up." .”

After saying this, he pretended to say something wrong, and covered his mouth with his hands.

Hearing this, the boss deeply believed that the pig bones were really useless, and waved his hand: "Come on, you can go back, I will throw the bones to you and keep them for later."

Li Ran nodded happily. Seeing that the newspaper had wrapped the bone thick enough without oil stains, he pinched it with his hands and asked the boss to tie it with a rope.

Seeing that he used so much paper, the boss showed a distressed expression on his face: "One sheet is enough, why are you packing so much?"

Li Ran held his hand and refused to let him take it apart, like a tiger crying occasionally, with water in his eyes: "My mother said that if I get dirty when I go back today, I won't be allowed in."

The boss was shuddered by Li Ran's eyes, sighed, and tied the pig bones again: "Next time, don't use so much again, I'm really afraid of getting dirty, so I brought paper from home."

Li Ran showed a big smile when he heard this, and kept nodding.

Walking out of the shop, Li Ran shook the bone in his hand, feeling much better after being messed up in class today.

Why did he wrap so much paper?What kind of paper is this?newspaper!

This newspaper can also be obtained from other places, but there is a ready-made one here, so Li Ran doesn't have to look for it everywhere.With these, he can at least know which province he is in, what is the current situation in the country, and so on, which is much better than being in the dark.

When we arrived at the entrance of the town, because it was not too early, Li Ran waited for a while, and the team arrived, and began to return to the village.

Li Ran looked at the slowly sandy road, and sighed in his heart: The road is long and long, I will search up and down...

It's okay to go back at night, because it's still early, and everyone is not in a hurry, so they will stop for a rest halfway, which is much easier than in the morning.

The children of poor families have long been in charge of the house, and when everyone walks on the road, if they see wild vegetables or pigweeds, they will pick them and take them back.

Li Ran looked around and found that everyone else was carrying a burlap bag with them. He thought he had made this plan, but he was the only one who didn't bring this because he couldn't figure out the situation.

Touching his head, Li Ran reassured himself that it's all right, and he can take it with him tomorrow.

However, seeing that everyone was doing so enthusiastically along the way, Li Ran couldn't stay idle and joined in.The picked ones were put in Hu Jianjun's bag. Hu Jianjun said that he would give them to him when he went back. Li Ran shook his head. He took the pig bones back. The family must be very happy at night, so there is no need for this.

But looking at the time, Li Ran secretly sighed, the soup tastes best when boiled on a low fire. Today, in order to be able to cook dinner in time, it is estimated that it can only be cooked on a high fire. The taste of today's soup is definitely not as good as yesterday.

When they arrived in the village, everyone separated, only Li Ran and Hu Jianjun were heading in the same direction, and they were still together.Seeing that he was almost home, Li Ran stopped Hu Jianjun, gave him half of the pig's bone, and explained how to make the pig's bone.

The boss probably made it back to Conan with great difficulty, thinking that he had found something good, but in the end he still asked for nothing, so he felt melancholy.I thought the pork bones were useless, so I even gave Li Ran some more. Now that they are separated, the soup will still be enough for the two families.

Hu Jianjun held the pig bone upside down, not afraid to get it on the ground: "Is this really edible? You didn't lie to me?"

Seeing him like that, Li Ran stretched out his hand to grab the bone: "Anyway, I made it at home, and it tastes really good, better than meat!"

Hu Jianjun put the pig bone behind his back: "Then I will, brother thank you."

Li Ran shook his head looking at Hu Jianjun who had already run away, and then walked towards the house.

When I entered the yard, I found that the whole family was there, standing at the door of the house, and Father Li was next to the pigsty.Huzi was still sitting on the fourth brother's neck, and Huzi was very happy on top of it, looking down with a smile, and occasionally pulled the fourth brother's hair with his hands to make him grin his teeth.

Seeing Li Ran coming back, Li Ma waved him over.Li Ran walked quickly to Li Ma's side: "Mom, what's wrong with Xiaoqian?" As soon as he entered the yard, he found Xiaoqian's earth-shattering cries filling the yard.

Li Ma took the pig bone from Li Ran's hand and explained: "It's nothing, your father just asked people from the commune to collect the pigs."

Li Ran suddenly thought that the pigs would be sold on Saturdays, but he didn't expect Father Li to call someone over today.

Xiaoqian is now more than 200 catties, so fat that it makes people feel comfortable. However, no matter how much he feeds, he probably won't grow a few catties. It's better to sell it early.

Li Ran walked to the side of the pigsty and looked inside.To be honest, the smell of the pigsty is absolutely unpleasant. Even though he has fed the pigs himself for two months, when he got here, Li Ran still wrinkled his nose reflexively and held his breath.

There were three men in the pigpen, and Li Ran looked at one of them, Captain Hong Fajia.The other two Li Ran didn't know each other, but they were both tall and burly, and they didn't know what they ate to grow up.

Hong Fa's family looked at Xiaoqian in the pigsty and gave him two thumbs-ups, and said to Father Li: "How did you raise this pig, it's so fat." Then, he squeezed the meat on Xiaoqian's body with his hands: "There's more It's fatty meat, which can cost a fortune."

Because more people buy fat meat, pigs with more fat meat are more expensive, and more places are willing to buy them.Xiaoqian has a lot of fat on his body, so he can indeed sell for a lot of money.

Hearing this, Father Li smiled and praised: "It's thanks to Liu Wazi who takes care of it every day. The basket is full of pigweed and used to feed it. Otherwise, how could it grow like this."

Hong Fajia shook his head when he heard this: "Old Li, you are not kind, which pig can grow so fat by eating grass."

Father Li's face remained unchanged, and he still greeted people with a smile: "Then I don't know, maybe the pig I bought back then is of good foundation, not expensive, you can feed it whatever you want, and it will grow by itself."

Li Ran stood by and listened to Father Li's words with admiration. It is also a talent to be able to speak such an obvious lie so confidently.Li Ran thought about it carefully, and felt that his father not only did a good job in farming, he was suitable to be a farmer, and he was probably a profiteer. With this foundation, he was also competent.

Seeing that they couldn't ask anything, Hong Fa's family could only ask the men to load the pigs into the carts, let the donkeys pull them back, and leave a large sum of money when they left.

Father Li carefully smoothed out the folds of the money in his hand, his eyes shone brightly.He has lived for so long, he has seen more money than this, and he has earned more than this, but he has never received so much shock.

When the car left, Huzi was still sniffling beside him. Just now when he saw that Xiaoqian was about to be put into the car, he burst into tears, yelling: "Sugar, sugar, sugar".Knowing that small money can be exchanged for sugar, in his heart, small money is the same thing as sugar. Now that the sugar is about to be taken away, he starts to cry.After Mama Li promised to buy it tomorrow, she stopped crying.

Seeing Huzi still sobbing, Father Li laughed and walked over, held him in his arms, and rubbed his face lovingly: "Good Huzi, grandpa will ask my uncle to bring you a catty of candy tomorrow." Come back, okay? Eat as you like."

Huzi listened to the head nodding non-stop, lifted it up and immediately put it down. He didn't know how much a catty was, but he understood that my uncle would bring candy tomorrow.

Li Ma continued next to her, "Tomorrow I will go to change some cloth tickets. I finally got some cash, so I can just change clothes for everyone. I don't remember how long I have worn these clothes. After buying cloth, I will change them for everyone. "

After hearing this, Fifth Sister came over: "Mom, I want the one with flowers printed on it." Li's mother nodded in agreement.

Li Ran couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he thought of Fifth Sister becoming a veritable "flower girl"!
