Through 1979

Sitting at the table in the courtyard, Li Ran stared at the courtyard door. At this time, Li's mother should be home.As soon as this thought came to fruition, Li Ran saw Li Ma's figure.

Mama Li's figure is on the fat side, which she didn't like in the days when she was spending two cents for one penny, because she was fat, Fei Bu.Now that life is better, Mama Li doesn't care about the cost of cloth, but even so, she hasn't bought any good clothes for herself, and the clothes she wears are still made of denim.However, after listening to Fifth Sister's opinion, Li Ma put the fabric in boiling water and scalded it, so that the fabric fell into a light blue color.This color is much more beautiful than the color of the cloth just bought.

Li Ran saw Mama Li carrying two big bags of things and walking step by step, so he hurriedly went up to her.Putting the things on the table, Li Ran opened the bag and took a look. There were several bags of malted milk essence. As for the others, it was cloth and other miscellaneous things.

Li Ran looked at these and persuaded: "Mom, don't buy any more. You have bought enough these days, and the house is almost piling up. If you buy more, there will be no place to put them."

Mama Li has become the largest customer of the supply and marketing cooperative in the town during this period of time, and she goes there every now and then.Li Ran occasionally went with Li Ma a few times, and the staff of the supply and marketing cooperative knew him. Every time they saw him alone, they would greet him.

After listening to Li Ran's words, Li's mother shook her head in disapproval. She had a good reason: "Why don't you buy it? Your fourth brother and fifth sister are about to take the exam. Of course, you have to buy something to make up for it. Your elder brothers are your mother and me when they take the exam." I don’t have any money, so I can’t help with anything, but now” Speaking of this, Li’s mother beamed with joy: “Your mother and I can still afford to buy these things, not to mention these things, Li’s mother can even buy them from the supply and marketing cooperative!” Finally If it is, it is naturally bragging.

Patting the malted milk on the table proudly, Mama Li raised her chin proudly. She and Mama Hu made a lot of money from the barbecue this year.Although competitors gradually appeared later, after listening to Li Ran's words, the two of them always used the freshest ingredients for barbecue, so even if someone went to another place to eat, they would come back later because of the good ingredients in her home. , become repeat customers.

But the men in the two families, Father Li and Father Hu, don't care about money, so the treasury of the two sisters, Li Ma and Hu Ma, has long been the favorite of the two women.

Li Ran shook his head helplessly, realizing that Mama Li felt guilty again. Parents always care about whether they have given their children a good living environment. The fourth brother and fifth sister are different from Li Ran. They are older than Li Ran and born earlier than Li Ran. , it is doomed to suffer more than Li Ran.Now that she has money, Li's mother wants to give all that she couldn't give to her children before.

After opening the bag with his hands, Li Ran took out three cups and poured a layer of malted milk into the bottom of the cups.This stuff is one of the few "precious" supplements out there, a white powder in a bottle.Whoever has him is usually locked in a cabinet. Only when someone is sick, the family will have a cup.Or it is used to give away relatives, which is a luxury.

But this period is the sprint period for the fourth brother and fifth sister's high school entrance examination, so Li's mother spent all her money and desperately went to buy it at home.Under normal circumstances, the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town only have those few bags, so Mama Li bought them as soon as she saw them coming, for fear that she would not be able to buy them for a while.

Li Ran poured water, adjusted the three cups of malted milk, took two cups in his hand, and walked to the fourth brother's room. As he walked, he said to Li Ma: "Mom, I will serve this to the fourth brother." Brothers, there is still a cup on the table, you drink it, I will clean it up later."

Mama Li was still panting, this time she really bought a lot of things, and she was quite tired from carrying them.After hearing Li Ran's words, Li's mother shook her head: "This is for you to eat, your mother is so old, what are you eating, it's a waste."

Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help laughing and said: "Mom is old at this age, so I'm an uncle at my age." Kong opened the door curtain, and Li Ran no longer gave Li Ma a chance to refuse: "I will come later Clean it up, if mom doesn't drink it, I'll dump it in the pigsty later."

Li Ma looked at his back, although she still didn't want to touch the cup, she could only pick it up.Drinking the prepared malted milk, Li Ran couldn't help smiling.

Li Ran first went to the fourth brother's room. He was sitting at the table with the books on the table, but he was leaning on the chair.Seeing Li Ran coming in, he showed a relieved expression on his face: "That's great." After saying this weakly, the fourth brother looked at Li Ran sideways: "Finally someone came to talk today, I'm almost suffocated."

Li Ran put the cup on the table: "Hey, here's a new cup for you, drink it quickly."

The fourth brother looked at this, frowned uncomfortably, and said depressedly: "I never thought before that one day, I would eat this thing until I got sick. Like before, when we saw this, it was like seeing a fairy fruit." , but why did it suddenly change now?"

Li Ran laughed, eating the same thing all day long, naturally even fairy fruits would get tired of it.Looking at the fourth brother with pity, Li Ran sighed: "Mom went to town again for this, you must drink."

The fourth brother nodded, picked up the cup, and downed it in one gulp.Li Ran looked at his completely lined eyebrows, knowing that one day it would be his turn, so he couldn't help but shudder.

After the grunting, the fourth brother breathed a sigh of relief: "Today's catastrophe is finally over."

Li Ran also had no way to stop Li Ma's recent actions, so he could only helplessly pat his fourth brother on the shoulder. There was really nothing he could do about it.After finishing here, Li Ran said, "I'll go to Fifth Sister's."

Hearing that Li Ran was going to harm Fifth Sister, Fourth Brother raised his eyebrows: "Go, go, hurry up." Comfortable.

Seeing his appearance, Li Ran could only shake his head, and went to Fifth Sister's, and sure enough, he saw a bitter face again.Fifth Sister supported her head with her hands, but her mind wandered too far away.Li Ran leaned over to her desk and took a look. Fortunately, the scope he designated was still finished.

Handing the cup to Fifth Sister, Fifth Sister still shot endless sad eyes when she took it, but Fifth Sister, who has suffered so much, really understands the preciousness of food, so she felt that no matter how bad or greasy it was, she still held the cup and swallowed it .

After completing the daily mission, Li Ran also let out a sigh of relief. He has to face this kind of look once a day, which is really a test of endurance.

When I got out of Fifth Sister's room, I saw Hu Jianjun arguing with Li's mother again, and Li's mother was teased by him and laughed, her eyes were full of love.Hu Jianjun's attitude towards Li Ma and Hu Ma is different. With Li Ma, he tried his best to be obedient, because he knew that it would be useless for Hu Ma to be obedient. It is directly ignored.

Seeing Li Ran came out, Li Ma stood up and wiped her hands on her clothes: "I'm going to make dinner, Junjun is eating here today, and I'll make something delicious for you!" Regardless of the look in Li Ran's eyes when he heard the word Junjun, Laughing, Hu Jianjun nodded quickly.

After sitting on the chair, Li Ran looked at Hu Jianjun and wondered, "I just went back, why are you here again?" Hu Jianjun spent another day at Li's house today, and he hasn't been home for long.

Sneaking into Li Ran's ear, Hu Jianjun said, "Of course I have something to do with you, let's go, let's eat some fruit."

Li Ran frowned suspiciously: "The yellow skin is not yet ripe, what else can I eat?"

"Hehe." With a mysterious smile, Hu Jianjun said: "There are also peaches, I don't remember, from Hong Fa's orchard." Hong Fa's family recently set up an orchard not far from home, thinking of making money from it.Passing by by chance, Li Ran also saw the red peach inside, but now hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help opening his eyes: "You mean to steal?"

Hu Jianjun pursed his lips: "Of course Hong Fa's family should be stolen. Have you forgotten what he did before! Don't talk about it, let's go." After slipping, Hu Jianjun dragged Li Ran and walked towards the gate of the courtyard: "Shunzi and the others are waiting for you!" Then, let's hurry up."

Li Ran followed him speechlessly, walking towards the gathering point of the thieves.He was still struggling in his heart, even if he didn't have fruit trees in his house, he shouldn't steal them.Besides, if I really want to deal with Hong Fajia, it's just a few fruits, so it's nothing to deal with.

But through this incident, Li Ran knew that Hu Jianjun held grudges so much. Although Li Ran still remembered the matter of raising pigs, but because he was living a good life now, he actually didn't care about it long ago. If Hu Jianjun hadn't moved ahead, this It is estimated that the memory will be completely forgotten by him soon.

Arriving at the gathering place, which was actually the woods not far from Hong Fa's house, on a haystack next to him, Li Ran knelt down and listened to their discussion of the situation.Apart from Shunzi and Hu Youde, there were two other boys in this group.

Hu Youde squatted, touched his nose and began to explain the situation to Hu Jianjun: "After Genzi's reconnaissance, we have obtained accurate information. Both of them have returned, and the great man is still staring there, so," he said, he slowly looked around the crowd, his voice low and low: "Now is the best time to act, and it is recommended to act at this time."

After Hu Jianjun understood the situation, he nodded in agreement: "It is indeed the best time, then, let's leave now." The other children heard this and said: "Take orders!"

Li Ran swallowed his saliva, swallowed the immoral laughter, and honestly nodded with the others, boasting: "Wise."

Now that they decided to act, the group of people immediately entered the state. Now the haystack is separated from Hong Fa's house by the bamboo forest. Li Ran bent down and went to the orchard with them.

After Shunzi left for a while, he suddenly asked, "Shall we break some branches and hang them on our bodies?" Li Ran shook his head quickly after hearing this blind idea.Hu Jianjun patted Shunzi hard on the head: "It takes an hour to fold a branch, wait for Hong Fat to come back, right?"

Shunzi patted his head, and after hearing this, his face slowly filled with admiration, and he said, "Boss is wise!" Li Ran coughed desperately beside him, and at the same time wiped his sweat in his heart. These children in Tupo Village are really suitable for entertainment.

After a short walk with a few boys, I finally arrived at the destination.It was quiet all around, Li Ran shook his shoulders, and couldn't help being a little scared, because it was "stealing" after all.He had never done such a thing before, and he felt a lot of pressure.

As soon as the group of them stopped, a child appeared next to them, presumably it was Dawei who had been monitoring the situation.Seeing them, Dawei said excitedly: "I'm sure no one is there. I even threw stones into the garden, and there was no movement at all!" Nodding, the group agreed to retreat as soon as there was any movement.

With their waists bent, everyone quietly climbed over the fence and came to the peach tree in the garden.Afraid of being discovered, Hu Jianjun took off their shoes and planned to go into battle lightly.Standing under the tree, they spat on their hands and climbed up the tree like monkeys. Hu Jianjun said to Li Ran while climbing, "We are responsible for picking, you pick it below, and I brought There is a bag in the bag, you put it in that." Li Ran took out the bag, knowing that when he came, he was determined to make Hong Fajia suffer.

Because he didn't have the tree-climbing skills, Li Ran stood under the tree and nodded obediently, expressing his acceptance.After a while, Li Ran put a lot of peaches in the bag. He was picking up Xingtou when he heard Hu Jianjun on the tree say in panic: "Someone is here."

Li Ran shook his body. He, who had never done anything wrong before, was so frightened that he was out of his mind. He stood up quickly, and when he heard Hu Jianjun's sound of running away, Li Ran instinctively dropped the spoils and ran away.

But Li Ran was not familiar with this garden, he didn't know which direction to choose the best while running, like a headless chicken.With the rustling of the wind in his ears, Li Ran's foot was suddenly caught by a stone, and he fell to the ground with a "pop", with a layer of soil in his mouth.

After a few bah bah, Li Ran quickly stood up and planned to continue running for his life, but after running a few steps, Li Ran suddenly came back to his senses, why was no one running with him?

Turning around in doubt, Li Ran saw Hu Jianjun hanging on the tree and looking at it with a smile on his face, while the rest of the people on the tree were already laughing, because most of them were still dying with their hands because they didn't dare to laugh out loud. gagged.

Looking at the situation, Li Ran gritted his teeth and realized that he was being tricked by Hu Jianjun!

Biting his lip bitterly, Li Ran stomped heavily to the tree. Because he ran too fast, there was only one shoe left under his feet, and the other one fell under the tree long ago, while he was running On the way, he didn't realize it.

After putting on the shoes, Li Ran patted the dirt on his body. He didn't need to look in the mirror, he knew that he must be dusty now.Lifting the bag of peaches, Li Ran walked home.

Hu Jianjun was still on the tree laughing until his stomach ached. Seeing him like this, he realized that he was really angry, so he quickly slid down from the tree.Seeing the boss like this, the rest of the people knew that today's peach-stealing activity was over, and they also slid down from the tree.

Walking behind Li Ran, Shunzi and the others recounted with relish the scene of Li Ran fleeing in embarrassment.Hearing this, Li Ran's eyebrows became more and more tight. He secretly scolded himself for being stupid, so he came out with Hu Jianjun!

Glancing at Hu Jianjun, Li Ran gritted his teeth a bit. It is unforgivable that a 31-year-old man should be played with by a child.

Hu Jianjun, carrying the bag of peaches on his back, looked at him with a flattering smile.He really regretted it now, he shouldn't have teased Liu'er on a whim, and he didn't expect Liu'er's reaction to be so big and panicky.Seeing Li Ran's eyes flushed with anger, Hu Jianjun wanted to give himself a shot, why is he so muddled!

Li Ran's self-esteem was seriously hurt, and he didn't say a word along the way.Although Shunzi and the others shut up because of Hu Jianjun's explanation, the smile on their faces never faded away.Who is Li Ran? In the eyes of the teacher, he is a top student. He has a calm and generous personality. It is so rare to see such a flustered look, so how can he forget it easily.

When they got home, although Li Ran didn't say goodbye to Hu Jianjun, he didn't even give Hu Jianjun a look out of the corner of his eye.With his head down, Hu Jianjun followed him pitifully, looking at Li Ran's back, Hu Jianjun was about to cry, why did he think that Liu'er would never forgive him?
