Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

Li's old house!

Li Youwei looked at her father and asked with confusion: "Dad, what do you want that old yard for?"

Li Fengnian said while filling the dry tobacco pot with shredded tobacco: "Dad plans to buy it..."

Before his father-in-law could finish speaking, Zhou Yang said, "Dad, are Uncle Ye and the others coming?"

Li Fengnian was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "You guessed it so quickly?"

To be honest, he was indeed a little surprised.

He had always known that his uncle was smart and capable, but he never thought that he could guess that Lao Ye was coming just from his own words, which was indeed beyond his imagination.

However, Zhou Yang just smiled and said, "What's so hard to guess? The house is for one person to live in, but except for you and my mother who still live in the old house, all the rest of our family have built new houses." Yeah, there’s no shortage of places to live.”

"So, you must be asking for that yard for someone else, and apart from Uncle Ye's family, I really can't think of anyone else who would be so interested in you!"

"Haha, I received a letter from Lao Ye a few days ago, saying that they will complete the procedures after New Year's Day, and they will move here in a few days. I guess it will be soon!"

Then Li Fengnian continued: "They will always have a place to live when they arrive. Now the housing in the village is so tight. I really don't know where to find a place for them except your yard!"

Zhou Yang smiled and said: "That's true, but Uncle Ye and the others can just live in the house. There is nothing to buy..."

"How can that be possible? If your mother and I live in your house, then of course there is nothing to say. But this is for other people to live in. How can a father-in-law give favors to his daughter and son-in-law, and spread the word to make people laugh!" Li Fengnian said on the side He said while smoking a cigarette.

"What a joke, dad bought the yard for us. If I really want to charge you for it, I'm afraid someone will stab me in the back!"

Then Zhou Yang said again: "Besides, it's not like you don't know my character, so why would you care about other people's opinions? I just think it's right for me, and I don't care what others like!"

At this time, Li Youwei also helped: "Dad, if it's someone else, it's okay if we charge some money, but if it's Uncle Ye and the others, forget it!"

"Let's not talk about your friendship with Uncle Ye. We can't accept this money just from Brother Yan and Wen Hui!"

Sister-in-law Lin Aizhi also echoed and said: "Dad, as a daughter-in-law, I shouldn't interfere in this kind of thing, but I think Xiaowei and my brother-in-law are right, collecting money is too unreasonable."

Fourth sister-in-law Zhong Na also said: "Dad, I don't think it's appropriate for you to spend money to buy that yard. Firstly, the family is not very good at talking about money, and secondly, Uncle Ye and the others may not always live in that yard!" "

"How do you say this?" Li Fengnian said.

"Xiaowei's yard is a bit rundown and small, and the house is still made of adobe. Uncle Ye and his family have quite a lot of people, so there won't be enough room for them!"

Then Zhong Na continued: "So it's okay to make a temporary transition in that yard. When they have a better life, they will definitely build a new house. Now let's treat it as a temporary loan to them for a period of time."

Li Fengnian nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, so let's not talk about money. When Lao Ye arrives, let him treat you two to a meal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Guiying said immediately: "They really deserve this meal. Look how well Xiao Yang and Xiao Wei have raised Wen Hui's child!"

"That's right, that kid is smart, steady, and very polite to others. He is a rare sight for everyone who sees him!" The sister-in-law also agreed.

"It is said that three years old makes you older than seven years old. You will know right away that the child will not be wrong in the future. If it were not too young, I would have betrothed our daughter to that child!" Third sister-in-law Wang Lixia said with a smile.

"It goes without saying that my third sister-in-law has to think about her brains. Let's say that the child is good, and she will think about how to get the person to her home. Most people with such brains really can't catch her!" Zhong Na said with a smile.

"You are so disrespectful to me, that child is really rare, but it's a pity that he is too young!" Wang Lixia said.

At this time, Zhang Guiying also finished cleaning up the stove and said: "Don't think about that child. It didn't matter when the Yan family was in trouble before. Now the Yan family and the Ye family have recovered. They are not small families like us." Hu can be worthy of it!”

"Mom is right, let's not talk about this anymore. The party is about to start tomorrow. Are you thinking of buying something?" said the sister-in-law.

"The quilts at home have been patched and patched for a long time. If there is a quilt shop selling quilts this time, I will buy two or three beds!"

"I want to buy some cotton and make a new cotton coat for An An..."

While the women were talking, they saw Huzi, Ernier, and Erniu rushing in with a few packages each, followed by four or five smaller dolls, all of them very excited.

At the same time, the children were followed by the three brothers Li Jianguo, Li Jianjun and Li Guoqiang, who were also carrying large and small bags.

As soon as the children ran into the house, they put the packages in their hands on the big kang and divided them up.

When the adults in the room saw what was in the package, they couldn't help but be slightly shocked.

In addition to books, toys and candies, there were also a lot of clothes and shoes, all of which were good things that could not be bought in the county town.

And when the Li brothers and Chen Beixuan came in, everyone in the room was even more shocked. The large and small bags really looked like they were moving.

The eldest sister-in-law looked at the children who were dividing things on the kang, and said with gratitude: "Xiaowei, brother-in-law, I let you spend money again!"

Zhou Yang said with a smile: "That's right. Sister-in-law, didn't you often buy this and that for Bao'er in the first few years!"

Indeed, a few years ago when he was in decline, his uncles and sisters-in-law bought a lot of things for Bao'er.

Although everyone's living conditions were not very good at that time, what they bought might be a bag of candies, a bunch of candied haws, or a small piece of floral cloth, but it might take a long time for uncles and aunts to save.

It is said that a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. Now that he has the ability, he will naturally repay them well.

Li Fengnian looked at the two boxes that his eldest son Jianguo had moved in, and the corners of his mouth moved involuntarily, and then said: "We are all ordinary people, why would we buy such expensive wine? It's such a waste of money!"

From the word "Maotai" on the boxes, Li Fengnian knew that these two boxes should contain his favorite wine.

And he also knows that the price of Moutai has increased again last year. It used to cost only 4 yuan a bottle, but now it has increased to 4 yuan and 8 cents. These two boxes of wine alone cost 60 yuan, which is worth more than half a month's worth of him. salary!

Li Youwei immediately smiled and said: "Dad, why are you so polite to us? Isn't it natural for us to respect you!"

Zhou Yang echoed, "You don't have any hobbies other than this, and you don't buy it every day!"

"Besides, they say that my uncle is my father-in-law's wine pot. As an uncle, I can't cut off your wine pot!"

Hearing this, everyone laughed!

After teasing for a while, Zhou Yang changed his tone and asked again: "Dad, after Uncle Ye and the others arrive, what tasks are you going to arrange for them?"

Li Fengnian thought for a while and said: "Although your Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye have been released from the labor camp, they are still not suitable to work in the government. My idea is to let them take care of some things in the village, but what exactly they are in charge of is still unclear. I have to discuss this with you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the third child, Li Jianjun, said: "Dad, I see that several new feed factories have been built in the village this year, and there are still two without a person in charge. How about letting Uncle Ye take charge of a feed factory?"

"I think we should let Uncle Ye go to the brick and tile factory. There will be expansion there next year, and most people really can't handle it!" Li Jianguo said.

Li Fengnian looked at Zhou Yang noncommittally, and then said: "Xiao Yang, what do you think Lao Ye would do better?"

Zhou Yang thought for a while and said, "I think it's better to let Uncle Ye do his old job!"

"What's your old profession?"

"Our village now lacks a militia captain. The militiamen from several villages have now been merged into one. There are more than 1000 people. No layman can command so many people. How about letting Uncle Ye be the captain? What do you think? How's it going?" Zhou Yang said.

"Haha, this is a good idea. Your uncle Ye was the leader of the main force back then, so he will definitely have no problem managing these 800 people!" Li Fengnian said with a smile.

"Well, as for Aunt Ye, if her education level is acceptable, she can go to schools, hospitals and even the brigade headquarters. If she doesn't have any education..."

Before Zhou Yang could finish speaking, Li Fengnian said directly: "Why are you uneducated? Your Aunt Ye went to college before. Before anything happened, she was in charge of a newspaper in the Provincial Military Region!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yang's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately said: "If this is the case, it will be much easier to handle. When the people arrive, let's ask for their opinions before making arrangements!"

"I think it's okay..."
