Seventy in love?pick up trash to feed you

Li Yizhi just raised his face and smiled, his eyes were crooked. It was the first time Liang Hong saw a smile from the heart.

"Oh, not bad, not bad, you really have a time when you smile from the bottom of your heart."

Liang Hong pointed at Li Yizhi like a silly boy and said, as if seeing something new.

At this moment, Li Yizhi looked at Liang Hong like a gorilla, and couldn't help but rolled his eyes again.

"Ah, ah, ah... you still roll your eyes, it's unbelievable~"

"Oh, you rolled your eyes again, it's amazing, it's amazing~"

Liang Hong spoke in a fuss, like a vigorous husky, circling around Li Yizhi non-stop.

Liang Hong seems to have become interested in Li Yizhi these days.

Li Yizhi has a new understanding of Liang Hong's "badness" after going through the incident of collaborating with others, but this kind of bad man is really cute~

After all, working with this kind of bad man will definitely not harm the interests of one of them, but the other party will definitely suffer.

After getting acquainted with him for a while, Li Yizhi had already put it down. He turned his head and left after ignoring Liang Hong, who was getting more and more aggressive towards Liang Hong's male god's light.

"Hey, wait, wait... I want to start a business, do you want to invest? The boss has you covered!"

Liang Hong followed behind Li Yizhi, talking non-stop like a brat, trying to trick him into joining his scavenging business.

Ma Bao and Gao Yong looked at each other, trembling goosebumps, and behind the two in front, told the two running in front to slow down~

Sometimes love begins because of curiosity~

.............................................

Liang Hong didn't stay idle for the remaining two months. He first asked Zhang Weifeng for a batch of defective cloth, then sold it, and after taking the money, he asked Zhang Weifeng to share it.

To be honest, Zhang Weifeng was really shameless at the beginning of Liang Hong, he just said it politely, but he didn't expect that he would actually come to ask for cloth.

But what he said, and he will go to school after the new year, and everyone will meet each other in the future, let Liang Hong take advantage of it once.

Zhang Weifeng picked them out with a rather stinky face. Among the defective cloths, the cloths that were completely dyed wrong were very rubbish, and they were not slightly flawed cloths at all.

But Liang Hong has a thick skin, he didn't care at all and thanked the other party with a playful smile.

Then he called his two younger brothers, took the cloth and left!

Cut into small pieces of cloth, put the good parts together with the good parts, and divide the bad parts into small pieces to make shoes.

Then they began to sell these cloths in the black market. Anyone who came to exchange things would not be rejected. It was possible to exchange food, money, or eggs.

Liang Hong exchanged the things in his hands again. After tossing around a few times, the money in his hands was getting more and more.

But Liang Hong also knew that there was no source of goods, even if he earned a few dozen dollars, it was only a few dozen dollars.

So Liang Hong found Zhang Weifeng again, directly gave half of the hundred or so yuan in his hand to the other party, and took him to a restaurant for a meal.

"Oh, thank you, Young Master Zhang, for giving the brothers a chance to make money! You have to accept the money! I should have brought you something last time, but the brothers really have nothing to do."

Liang Hong gave food, gave money, and persuaded him to drink, and he said the same thing, which made Zhang Weifeng stupid.

"Oh, how embarrassing, but Liang Hong, I will make you a good friend! Come back tomorrow to get the defective cloth with me!"

Zhang Weifeng thought it was pretty good, after all, it was a windfall, so he distributed some wrong-printed and flawed fabrics to Liang Hong.

After doing such a costless business, Liang Hong decided to stop after going around the country for a few times. With more than a few hundred dollars in his hand, he already had the foundation for starting a business.

And Liang Hong didn't make money by himself. Ma Bao and Gao Yong also shared 100 yuan each. After buying things, they went back to their respective houses to find their mothers!

"Brother, what are we going to do after the new year?"

Gao Yong looked at the money in his hand and couldn't help asking.

Gao Yong's family is not short of money, but he is also the middle child. Liang Hong is a treasure at home, but Gao Yong is especially neglected as the middle one.

It is impossible for Gao Yong to work for his parents. There are older brothers and second brothers on the top, and the most favored younger sister on the bottom.

Gao Yong started to make plans for himself very early on. Now look at the boss Liang Hong earning so much money just by fooling around.

Gao Yong knew that if his family had to find another quota for going to the countryside, it would be him, so now he had to make plans for himself.

"Yes, yes, boss, I just want to work with you. I don't want to take my mother's class. You don't know that you are a general worker in a textile factory. I don't want to cut threads with a group of old women."

Ma Bao said disgustedly, put the money in his pocket, this is his private money, and he can buy whatever he wants for the New Year.

"Rely on you two city people to show off in front of me, a villager? Don't worry, we don't dare to do such a risky job after the New Year."

"You don't think I really don't do it when I say picking up junk? Is it a lie? I'll tell you, pick up junk and make a fortune!"

Liang Hong said mysteriously, and the two brothers would not ask him any more.

Liang Hong knows that picking up trash is a learned thing, and maybe people nowadays think it is dirty.

However, repairing radios, televisions, refrigerators...large items is definitely the most lucrative "job" in this era.

Not to mention the "good things" that exist in Picking Up the Trash.

Although Ma Bao and Gao Yong didn't know what their boss was talking about, they really admired his brain.

I really can't do anything except study!

Liang Hong didn't have a dime in his pocket. Two months later, he returned home with 500 yuan and a carload of New Year's goods.

I brought a lot of particularly bad cloth to my family. Anyway, it’s okay to make shoes, but it’s not allowed to make clothes!

As for the ability of the boss, the two brothers have already seen it in the eyes after these two months, and he is not an ordinary person!

Ordinary people can welcome men, can ordinary people be loved by everyone?

Sure enough, the world of the boss, they don't understand, they don't deserve it!

................................................

Two months passed in a flash, and the school was already on winter vacation.

The senior three students brought home their quilt rolls and books, some went to work, and some went home to farm.

Some people have not been home for two months, and now they are being spanked by their parents at home!

The head of the Liang family village, the youngest Liang Hong has finally returned home~

At first, they thought that their son would go home in a week to get money, tickets and food, but Liang's mother and Liang's father decided to take advantage of their youngest son and sign a series of unequal treaties.

Let his youngest son take care of himself, do the work when he should, and then slap Liang Hong, give him a sweet date, and buy him a pair of liberation shoes.

But what surprised Liang's father and Liang's mother was that after his son went out, he didn't come back!

Liang Hong didn't go home to get living expenses for two months, and he didn't get thick clothes. If it wasn't for the students who came back from the next village, Liang Hong was doing well at school.

Liang's parents thought their son was lost and ran away from home.

Now that I know that my child is fine and living well outside, I let go of my worries.

After not going home for half a month, Liang's parents felt quite quiet, which was a good feeling.

Liang Hong didn't come home for a month, and Liang's parents missed their son a little bit, and felt that as long as he came back, they wouldn't ask him any more. They couldn't afford to buy him a pair of Jiefang shoes!

Besides, I need to explain to my daughter-in-law when I spend my own money? !I really want to fart.

The more Liang's mother thought about it, the angrier she became, and the eldest daughter-in-law Li Fengxia was really getting more and more displeased!

It's only been half a year since you got married, why do you still want to be the master of the house? !

All day long, he said that he favored the younger son in a strange way, and he didn't look at how many days his son hadn't come home.

Liang's mother was very angry, and Liang's father said to keep quiet, or the eldest son is not a human being inside and out!

But the result of taking a step back is that the eldest daughter-in-law further criticizes and scolds Huai, because the eldest daughter-in-law thinks that the old couple is biased, otherwise why don't they talk? !

Without Liang Hong's knowledge, Li Fengxia had already started to make bolder attempts. Her mother-in-law and father-in-law were too partial.

"The eldest son works hard at home and is filial to his parents. Alas, the younger son eats delicious food and drinks spicy food outside, and he still has new shoes to wear."

"What are you doing, don't do it! It's not yours if you do it, and the money you earn is not for you."

Li Fengxia said it wasn't counted, and beat people with her hands. Others dared not beat her, but her husband, Liang Jiang, hit him as soon as he stretched out his hand.

"Okay, this older generation is someone who I am not a human being, and I don't want to hear your pointing and scolding voice. My mother does not lack this son!

Or let's separate the family completely, don't want to spend your own money, it depends on your face. "

Liang's mother saw that the eldest daughter-in-law was not a human being inside and out. You haven't given birth to a child or are pregnant, so you want to control yourself? !

Liang's mother really doesn't want to be an evil mother-in-law, but some people just don't want to be satisfied.

So the next month will be the process of "repression and resistance" between Liang's mother and the eldest daughter-in-law.

And during this period, Liang's father had already supported his old wife, because the eldest daughter-in-law was really out of shape.

Moreover, the two pictures are already disliked by his son. If he is strong and can still make money, should he be angry?

How long do you have to keep your head down like this?

So the eldest brother Liang Jiang began to live a life that was not human inside and out.

Of course, Liang's mother had the moral upper hand during this period, even if Li Fengxia moved out of her parents, it wouldn't work!

Li Fengxia was angry and went home to live. If she didn't pick her up, she wouldn't be able to come back. She must show Liang Jiang a good look!

But for Liang Jiang, wow, the world is quiet, and the ears are relaxed~

Such a day is coming, let him enjoy such a good day for a few more days~

Li Fengxia's parents felt that their children would only live there for a few days, so they could just take care of their in-laws.

One day, two days and three days are okay, but after ten days and a half months, Li's parents are a little gossip.

Not to mention that the brothers of the Li family are already married, and the daughter-in-law is not happy about it. After all, a big living person lives and eats at home for free, and doesn't work? !

Moreover, the daughter-in-law of the Li family has already heard about it, and her sister-in-law is simply not sick and holding her fart, and she is choked up!

Didn't have any children, and the younger siblings are not yet married, so as the eldest daughter-in-law, they are actually asking for all the property to belong to them? !

No one is happy about this matter being put on anyone, so the daughter-in-law of the Li family beats and beats her all day long.

Li Fengxia was not easy to provoke, she directly slapped her sister-in-law on the table and scolded, saying this was her home!Tell my sister-in-law to go away quickly.

The Li family's daughter-in-law is not easy to mess with, she just doesn't want to serve a difficult sister-in-law from home after she has a baby.

"That's fine, I won't serve you any more. You can pick me up when you leave. It just so happens that my parents want to see their grandson and granddaughter."

The Li family's daughter-in-law slapped the table and left, packed her luggage and went home with her son and daughter.

Brother Li looked at his daughter-in-law, his son and daughter had all left, he glanced at his parents and complained, and chased his wife away.

The parents of the Li family felt that they had done something wrong, and both their son and daughter-in-law were bored. If the daughter-in-law was completely bored, who would support the daughter? !

So the Liang family didn't care about it, and the Li family cleaned up the girl honestly, and then asked someone to let the good family take the girl home.

If Li Fengxia was really allowed to walk back to her husband's house by herself, it would be too shameless, and she would be famous in several nearby villages.

It's not that Liang's mother is sympathetic. The daughter-in-law must have bowed her head and asked her son to bring her back.

However, Liang Jiang was a little unhappy, after all, his life alone was too happy~

Without a woman chattering in his ear, Liang Jiang felt relieved.

After Li Fengxia came back, it was time to work honestly, and she didn't dare to talk too much. In fact, she was still not convinced in her heart, and she just waited for her own baby!

Li Fengxia feels like her own sister-in-law, she has confidence if she has children!

A big drama in the Liang family finally came to an end, which made Liang's parents have stronger standards for future daughters-in-law.

You must see clearly in the future, you can't listen to the matchmaker's own words, you must never believe the matchmaker's words.

What happened in the family made the second elder brother Liang Hai fearful of getting married. He was afraid that he would also find a troublemaker. Alas, why do people still have to get married?

Liang Hai expressed that he was really scared~

.............................................

Liang Hong rode his own bicycle and returned home happily with a bicycle full of New Year's goods.

When they finally returned home, the Liang family's parents were already angry with their youngest son, they should buy and beat him!

As soon as Liang Hong got home, his parents chased him around the yard with a stick, running around and circling the yard.

"Oh my mother, what are you going to do? I just got home, are you going to murder your parents and children? Sure enough, you don't like me!"

Liang Hong ran left and right, jumped up and down, and was still talking aggrievedly.

"You brat still has the ability to run away from home, tell me you haven't come home for the past two months, what the hell have you been doing?!"

"Liang Hong, you don't know how to ask someone to send a message, you don't know, when you go home and take a look, you are not as good as a raw barbecued pork bun!"

At this moment, Mother Liang's teeth were itching with hatred, and she chased after her with a stick. As soon as her son came back, he remembered the days when he was frightened.

"Mother, I was wrong. Is it okay if I am wrong? I am your own son. It hurts my son and hurts my mother. I can't bear to let your mother feel sorry for you."

"It's okay, I just like to feel sorry for you! Let my mother feel sorry for you, and feel sorry for you a little more."

Liang's mother warned herself not to laugh, her son is a kid who pushes his feet.

"Mom, come on, come on! I'll catch third brother for you."

Liang Juanzi joined the battlefield excitedly. She was so excited to see her third brother being bullied.

Liang Juanzi ran into the yard and was about to intercept Liang Hong, but Liang Hong kicked his butt backwards and fell directly to the ground.

"I'm not a man who doesn't hit women, Juanzi, come and find fault with me again, and see if I hit you!"

Liang Hong said ferociously, for this girl, since she was a child, she was not pleasing to the eye when she was favored. She always found fault with herself, and she seemed to have found a habit.

Liang Hong is not used to Liang Juanzi, there is no way, he is such a man who only respects himself.

"Woohoo ... Dad, Yangyang, hurry up and look at me. My third brother is hitting me. Let me go to school several times, and he will hit me when he comes back ..."

Liang Juanzi started crying as soon as she lay on the ground, feeling that she was extremely wronged, and it turned out that her third brother was really bad.

Father Liang saw his daughter lying on the ground. After so many days in the house, the laughter finally resumed.

He joined the battlefield directly, caught Liang Hong in two or three, and turned the world around.

Liang's mother and Liang Juanzi also came over with sticks at this time, revenge for revenge.

The rest of the family watched the excitement. How should I put it, the gloom at home was swept away, and it seemed that they finally felt the joy of the New Year coming soon.

After playing around, Liang Hong felt as if he had already muddled through everything.

"Come here, Mom, this is cloth for you, you and Dad are making new clothes, you haven't made new clothes for several years.

Bro, here's a probably new water bottle for the two of you.

I don't know if the lady who kicked my ass just now wants a gift? "

Liang Hong began to distribute gifts to his family members, picking out items that did not have much love among the defective cloth and giving them to his mother.

I took away the kettle used by the army, washed it, and kept it as a gift. The aluminum kettle is in the village, and it is really a face-saving thing.

The gift for the younger sister and sister-in-law is the face oil, which is the only thing that really costs money.

Liang's mother took over such a good cloth, and it was a little flawed, but it was no problem to make a new suit.

The parents of the Liang family were very moved, only their third son noticed it. They haven't made new clothes for many years.

The new three years, the old three years, the sewing and mending, and the three years, all of which are light.

Liang's parents basically didn't wear new clothes, because they let their sons and daughters wear any good things, after all, they were young.

Father Liang sat beside him contentedly, took a couple of puffs of the big cigarette bag in his hand, then quickly put it away, and smoked it tomorrow.

Liang Jiang and Liang Hai's eyes lit up, they rubbed their hands together, and took the green water bottle, feeling extremely happy.

"Brother~ why are you so good?! Brother, are you thirsty? Brother, are you hungry? Brother, what do you want to do? Brother, I'll give you..."

Liang Juanzi stopped crying immediately, and hurried over to say good things to Liang Hong. It's like not seeing a rabbit but not a hawk, it really exists!

Liang Hong happily enjoyed the shoulder pinching service from his older sister.

"Okay, here you go, take good care of yourself, don't freeze into a red apple face again in winter."

Liang Hong couldn't help but say a bad word, and gave Liang Juanzi the face oil of Wanziqianhong.

After Liang Juanzi took the Wanziqianhong, she opened the face oil wrapped in aluminum paper inside, and hurried back to her room satisfied.

Before leaving, I couldn't help but roll my eyes three times at myself, with a kind of scumbag temperament that I used and threw away.

The members of the Liang family were very happy. For them, if they were not happy with receiving a gift, they would be fools!

But Li Fengxia, the only person with a foreign surname, was so angry that her stomach would explode. Why did she bully herself as an alien?

Li Fengxia felt that she was really wronged, everyone in this family was discriminating against her!

Where does a student going to school get their money from?It's not given by the parents!

Li Fengxia couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere either, she stamped her feet back to her room as soon as she left, and began to wipe her tears.

Listening to the simple and honest look of my husband's cheerful voice outside, I really feel like my heart is going to explode and I am going crazy.

In the strange eyes of everyone, Liang Jiang hurried back to his room and asked what happened to his daughter-in-law? !

Then the couple started arguing quietly in the room.

"Don't worry about your sister-in-law, third child, what's in the leftover bag?"

Mother Liang bowed her hand in concern, signaling her son not to talk to the eldest daughter-in-law, anyway, such petty gestures are too much these days.

Liang Hong nodded knowingly, took out some small cloth heads that were left, and cut a lot of such irregular small cloth heads.

"Mom gave you these cloth heads, you can do whatever you want, if you really can't do it, you can use a feather duster."

"Oh, you are a waste of money. With so many cloth heads, you can make a few more pairs of shoes for the whole family this year. Just find some work for your sister-in-law and your sister, so that you don't have to pinch and pinch when you meet all day long!"

Mother Liang looked at the sack of cloth heads in surprise. This is a good thing, it can be used for everything, and there are relatively large pieces of cloth heads that can be used as shoe uppers.

"Mom, there are actually two boxes of colorful flowers here. One box is for you. You and Dad's hands will start to dry out in winter. You should wipe your hands and feet."

"There is another box for my sister-in-law, but I am also embarrassed. My uncle gave my sister-in-law facial oil, so Mom is here with you, so you can distribute it yourself."

Liang Hong gave away everything and handed over the distribution rights directly to his mother.

Not to mention how happy Mother Liang was, how should I put it, she felt that the feeling of distributing things was very good. "Don't worry, son, Mom has arranged for you properly!"

Father Liang frowned. There were too many things. Even if his third son had some savings, he thought it was only a dozen yuan. How did he buy so many things?

Father Liang was afraid that his third son would take a detour, so he called Liang Hong into the house and asked him what he was doing these days.

Liang Hong also knew that his father was an old man who had seen the world, so he couldn't hide it, so he directly told him what he had done in the past two months.

Moreover, Liang Hong also secretly brought out the cigarettes provided by his younger brother. These cigarettes need cigarette slices, and it is difficult to buy them even if they have money.

Liang's father was really greedy. After receiving the cigarettes, he was really embarrassed to scold his son.

Father Liang put away his cigarette, and still seriously told him: "You can have some snacks. I recently went to the town for a meeting. It seems that there has been a little change in the upper echelon. There are some troubles. You are not allowed to do this kind of thing after the New Year. La."

Liang Hong quickly stated that he would not do these things after the new year!

"Dad, can you give me the entire homestead on the edge of the village, I plan to collect the trash!"

"This is not allowed, speculation is not allowed!"

"Oh, how could this be stealing the opportunity? You can't even collect the trash? I'll collect the trash, and I'm honored."

Under Liang Hong's begging, what else could Father Liang do? !

After all, the function of being a parent is to wipe the ass of the child.

The key point is that Liang Hong's feeling of relying on himself makes Liang's father very happy. After all, after the eldest daughter-in-law Zuo Yiyi is old, he is not happy when talking about the issue of pension.

..........................................

It was a happy day for the Liang family to receive their gift.

Liang Hong also slept very well at home, the clean bedding smelled like the sun.

As the most favored youngest son in the family, Liang Hong really enjoys most of the good things in the family, although many things are relatively hidden.

In his previous life, Liang Hong was the best son in the family!

Liang Hong still intends to be the pride of his parents in this life.

"Parents' Pride" slept through the day, and Liang's mother began to direct the women in the family the next day and got busy.

Use the cloth to do politics, use the cloth to make the sole, glue the sole, cut, wrap the edge, and finally glue it layer by layer to form a thousand-layer bottom.

Then there's the women's work all winter, taking out the soles and sewing them together.

Making shoes itself is a very labor-intensive housework. For a rural woman, she can make all the shoes that the whole family will wear in the next year in winter. This is a hardworking woman!

Blind dates in rural areas also attach great importance to women's ability to do housework. Whether cooking is good or not is secondary, but being able to hold shoe soles and make shoes is a very important bonus item.

And sister-in-law Li Fengxia is about to go crazy. Who would have thought that one person can make 10 pairs of shoes for a rural family! !

Liang's mother kept her face and immediately began to treat Li Fengxia, thinking that if the other party was sensible, she would do the work that should be done, and then she would give the face oil that Wan Ziqianhong should give.

If the other party doesn't know the fun and still finds fault like that, then I'm sorry, save it for the old man to wipe his feet, and not for the eldest daughter-in-law.

As a wise man, Liang Hong hid early in the war between his mother and his sister-in-law.

Seeing that my elder brother was being bullied like a bear, my confidence in not getting married was strengthened.

Even the second brother showed embarrassment, so scared~

.............................................

During the Chinese New Year, in the village, the food should be distributed, the meat should be divided, and the meat should be eaten at home, or the meat should be taken out to relatives, that is optional~

Another year of bumper harvest, every family is full of food, and every family wears new clothes.

In 78, it was thriving, and the atmosphere was different.

Like the darkness before dawn, Liang Hong clearly sensed the unusual atmosphere, and also received a signal from his father that he should not be careless with his insignificant growth.

However, Liang Hong knew that this time would not be too long, that is, in a few months, the whole country was approaching another period of rapid development.

Liang Hong wants to seize this period of rapid development, and this bonus period can make money just by lying down!

Do whatever you want, there is nothing that doesn't make money.

Liang Hong is looking forward to the future with full confidence, because he has seen the brilliance of the future, and he has seen that the future development of this country is on the right path.

But for people who don't know what the future development of this country is like, they are full of fear for the future!

In fact, Liang Hong regretted that he did not go to school in his previous life. He didn't know anything about science and technology. He just read newspapers and talked about it on the Internet every day.

So Liang Hong was really angry when he saw a lot of things in the news and unfair treatment, and hated himself for not having a lot of useful professional knowledge.

After the new year, Liang Hong wanted to go out for a while, but was directly forced into the house by Liang's father and was not allowed to go out!

"I can tolerate you not working, because I can work and farm, and I don't lack your stutter. But you can't go out and cause trouble. Now the situation is unclear, and you don't want to do anything now."

Father Liang said seriously that he knew that his son was not a law-abiding person, but the timing was bad, and he would rather let his son idle at home.

"..."

Liang Hong was directly locked at home, and he could only leave the door, not the second door.

Within a few days, we received educated youths from all over the country, because their village is so close to Dajing City, which is a good place.

Usually, there are basically no educated youths going to the countryside. After all, if you go to the countryside, you have to go to a difficult place, so you can be regarded as dedicated.

But their Liangjiatun wants apprentices to have apprentices, and every family can have enough food. It is so close to Dajing City, and it will still be a good place for demolition in the future.

Father Liang felt stupid when he was asked by the superiors to pick up the educated youths from the countryside? !I went to the countryside to come to them, this is to enjoy it.

Liang's father was carrying five educated youths in an ox cart. These five educated youths were obviously the ones who came down to be gilded, and it seemed that they also went to the countryside to "escape".

Among them was Li Yizhi, who was at a loss as he watched Liangjiatun get closer and closer while sitting on the bullock cart.

Liang Hong, who was chasing chickens and teasing dogs at home, couldn't help but sneezed, and directly caught his old hen that hadn't laid eggs today, and was going to eat some chicken.

"Oh my god, this old hen didn't lay eggs again today. This is the second time. I don't think it will lay eggs anymore. Let's eat~"

Liang Hong squatted in the chicken coop with straight eyes, looking at the old hen, his eyes were full of murderous intent, he wanted to eat meat~

"My God, you stared straight at him, and scared you back even if you wanted to lay eggs."

Liang's mother really felt that it was bad to have more sons. She felt fine three days before going home, but now she felt itchy when she saw her son.

When Li Yizhi entered the village, he saw that Liang's mother was already chasing her son with a stick, and Liang Hong lost one of his shoes~

Liang Hong and Li Yizhi looked at each other and turned away.

Li Yizhi warned himself that he had misread just now, his face was full of chicken feathers, and his shoes ran away...I would never like this kind of person! !

Father Liang: What a shame...
