Seventy Little Heads

Now life at home is not difficult. Although Li Si doesn't know what his son has done outside, he told himself that he has almost paid back the money he owed to his benefactor these years.It's yours to make money in the future.

In the past few years, he has been obediently tending the crops at home, all of which are grown food, which is just enough to eat, but if he has any money, he has no money, and everyone is like that.Some families have insufficient labor or are lazy and can’t even fill their stomachs. There is no place to earn money in the countryside.

Li Si wanted to do odd jobs with others, but his son was determined not to let him.

And now as long as there is a son in the family, they will eat dry rice every day, which is fine grain.There was not enough food in the family, and the son got bags of food from nowhere, which made people frightened.In terms of food, their family should have ranked ahead of the people in the village.

Although I have worked very hard, in the end the money owed by my son for studying is still paid by my son with money. Thinking about it, I feel sorry for my only son.On the one hand, when I heard that the debt was paid off, I let go of a big stone in my heart, on the other hand, I was trembling about the good days today.

Since the beginning of winter, the children have bought him thick clothes, new boots, and thick quilts, all of which were undreamed of in the past.He is reluctant to wear it, so let’s put such good things aside, his son can still wear them in the future, he is used to it as long as he doesn’t freeze to death, life is already much better, but he dare not think too much about it.But the son couldn't help saying, opened his suitcase and pulled out the set of clothes that he had folded and put away, and said: Look, I bought it according to your size. If you don't wear it, no one can wear it. It's not my size.

Then he put it on and it was so warm.It's just a little uncomfortable. I worry about getting dirty and tearing my good clothes when I work and chop firewood.

Then the son chopped all the firewood, bought two big tanks, and filled them with water before leaving.Everyone in the village said that he had enjoyed his son's blessings, he had enjoyed his son's blessings, he was very proud, and it was a great thing for his son to be successful.I used to look down on him as a useless guy who ran away with his pussy, but now I greet him when I see him.The morals of the world have become beyond his comprehension.

Although my son said that he doesn't have to work so hard when he is older, but he is not yet 50 years old, how can he just throw away his hands and become an old man?How many old men older than him are going to the ground every day, just to fill their stomachs.Finally, when the farm is busy at home, he asks someone to help. He just needs to see if the field needs to be weeded, watered and fertilized. Most of the time he raises chickens and ducks at home. His son said he likes to eat eggs and salted duck eggs, so he will Save him a lot of eggs and duck eggs.

With good clothes to wear and good food to eat, and his son to carry the burden, Li Si actually gained weight in his old age. This is a very old age in the countryside and he has to crawl to the ground. Everyone in the old and thin village is conspicuous. Woke up.Not only did I get fatter, but I also looked younger, my wrinkles seemed to have become lighter, and I looked clean.No wonder in recent years, second-married couples and widows love to go to his house as a matchmaker.Although Goudan doesn't like to show off and pursues the policy of boring hair and big money, there will always be clues when the days are getting better, and you can understand it at a glance.

It's okay if I don't have skills, but my son has skills. Although the stepmother and the child in front can't be of the same mind, but if Li Si wants to protect him, can the son ignore Lao Tzu?If he has a son and a half daughter in the future, Li Goudan, as the elder brother, can't ignore him, right?In this way, Li Si has been dragged to talk recently, and what he said is that it is time to find a housekeeper.With a mother-in-law warming the bed, I will not be lonely in the future.

Fortunately, Li Si is too honest, but he really loves his only son, Goudan.It's so easy for the son to live a good life by himself, and if he gets a stepmother, wouldn't that poke the child's heart?Not to mention the increased burden, the family will definitely be in dire straits.

Besides, so many years have passed, and if there is no wife, there will be no wife. Without that matter, he has lived for so many years, and brought up his son stumbled.At the beginning, I wanted to find a wife to take care of my son, support the family, and let my son have a mother. Didn't everyone despise him, Li Siqiong, and his uselessness?

You can't do that nowadays.

Therefore, Li Si who never had any assertiveness, Li Si who was too honest, who listened to his mother when he was young, and Li Si who listened to his son when he had a son.For such a resolute rejection of this matter, Li Si was unmoved even by some clever people who followed the old lady Li's path.

Of course, Mrs. Li is getting older, but she is still full of energy, and she is good at scolding. She fights with her daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law every day. Goudan thinks it must be "the joy of fighting with others" that makes Mrs. Li live. so long.Compared with her, old man Li is bleak. Last year, old man Li, who has lived his whole life silently, is really a silent man.He usually lived in silence, and died peacefully, only one cannon was fired, which was quite lively. After his burial, his life was like a calm lake without leaving any traces.No, it is still left, that is, the continuation of the bloodline.

The family has stopped, and Goudan is still studying and doing business at school.

Now they are in their third year of high school. That's right. The Ministry of Education issued a document to implement the two-year high school system. After that, the high school will also implement the three-year system. Goudan's class just caught up with this trip.Many parents and students are wailing, isn’t it an extra year of tuition for one more year?But the teacher reassured everyone that after one more year, they will be able to lay a firmer foundation and be more confident in the college entrance examination.

But what he didn't say is that this is implemented nationwide. When they have enough time to prepare, don't others do the same?

"I will be 19 years old after the new year. After the college entrance examination, I will be 19 and a half years old, and I will go to college at 19 and a half years old. You go to college a little more. You will see your teacher for another year." Goudan went to school a little late Yes, it's not too big or too young to graduate from high school now.

The two of them read a book under the quilt, and the weather was cold, even though the house was burning briquettes.The house is quiet, with occasional human voices coming from outside, yes, it is the kind of movement in the living area.The two managed to find a place to rent, but it was a bit far from the school. Fortunately, they rode bicycles for half an hour.I still live in the dormitory of the school, and I come here occasionally. I basically live here when I don’t go home on weekends. When I buy more goods, I store goods and various transfers are completed here.

This place can only be regarded as the outskirts of the county seat. On the edge, not far from the house, there are large tracts of farmland and vegetable fields. This place is really a bit out of the way.But the advantage is that the place is large, the yard is surrounded by a large circle, and then there is a wall, and there are only three simple tile-roofed houses. The houses are well maintained but they are all old.

In the summer, Wang Xuan also sowed a lot of vegetable seeds in the yard, and now this is the place where the two of them occasionally make tooth sacrifices, and no one has said anything about it.The distance between people here is not as close as that of the houses in the county town. The distance between neighbors is tens of meters or hundreds of meters, which is very scattered, and they are all distributed in the fields. It is correct to say that they live in the countryside.Most of the people are still tending the crops. There is also a family who raises ducks and digs a small pond, and another family farms and raises a small flock of sheep.The summer wind blows from there, and the smell is a bit strong, but fortunately, the two of them are used to this smell.

Goudan spent a lot of effort to buy a small yellow calf for Li Si, which has been trained to plow, and Li Si loves it very much.It is very rare for a farmer to have such a large piece of cow. He tied the cow in the yard. The smell of cow dung is really strong. Li Si has worked hard to shovel and compost the manure, and it still smells good.Li Si didn't listen to him several times, saying that he was worried that the cow would be tied too far and be stolen.

Stealing cattle in the surrounding villages is not new. Once the cattle are stolen, the whole family will be devastated. Not only will they lose most of their property, but it will be even worse if there are no cattle in farming.

Therefore, Goudan and Wang Xuan are also used to smelling the faint smell of manure from livestock, but the smell of sheep manure is stronger than that of cow manure. It is conceivable that the smell of that family's home is even stronger. The smell of sheep on my body can't be washed off.There are only flexible eyes in the whole dark place. Every time he sees him shepherding sheep shirtless by the side of the path, Goudan will stop to tease him. Every time he gives him something to eat, the child is as well-behaved as a puppy. .

Like that black girl Xiangxiang, the older brother is older and the younger brother is shorter, Goudan sometimes worries about his parents, this child is too obedient, and too easy to deceive, as if he would kiss candy and biscuits.It was Wang Xuan who exposed him: They only kissed you because they saw you living here. Not only did they have food, but they also knew that you were a student in the county.

This winter, the wind blows in a different direction, and the snow covers most of the feces, making the smell even weaker.

Apart from the sadness of cycling back and forth against the cold wind, living here is much better than a dormitory.Here I can burn briquettes by myself, unlike the dormitory which is as cold as a freezer.The stove is burning, and a pot is placed on the eye of the stove, and the stewed mutton inside is already fragrant.It was the clumsy old stove that they had brought over.

"Get up and move around, we will have dinner later." Wang Xuan came out of the bed in warm long johns and autumn clothes, and immediately put on his coat and trousers.He grabbed Goudan's quilt to prevent him from lying on his stomach and reading.

"Wait a minute, I'll figure out this question first. Ah, these questions are so difficult, I don't believe that such questions will be asked in the college entrance examination." Both the materials and review questions ordered by their school are based on basic questions. Lord, it won't be too hard.

But their goal is the school in the capital city, which competes with outstanding students from all over the country. The school ranks first and second in this school. I don't know if it can be ranked in the top [-] in the whole country.So in addition to the set of review materials from this school, the two of them also tried to do all kinds of difficult and perverted questions outside, which made people lose their hair.

Goudan was writing and drawing quickly on the draft paper while chattering.

He was quite tall, writhing in the quilt like a giant bug.Wang Xuan did exercises for his own eyes, rubbed his hands, and went to another room used as a kitchen. The quilt made of straw was lifted by the wall, revealing rows of cabbage, white radish, onions, garlic, and ginger.

In order to keep it fresh, the two also spent a lot of thought. Of course, it is better to put it in the "baby", but they think that it is not necessary to use it when it is not needed. go. Although 'Baby' is fresh and easy to carry, they don't want to over-life it, which is very dangerous.Even when I was a child, I often used it to move the warehouse, but now I seldom do it.
