Quick Travel: The Long Road to Resurrection

When the matter was over, the Li family thanked everyone and went about their business.

Originally, the golden sun that made people unable to look directly has faded its dazzling light and turned into a soft orange-red color. It gradually moved towards the west. The farmers who worked at sunrise and rested at sunset also returned to their homes.

Every household, accompanied by patches of burning clouds in the sky, had a nice dinner and then enjoyed the cool air in the yard.

Li family

The Li family's parents were talking about what happened today.

"Oh, I didn't expect that the Wei family is like a dog-skin plaster. If they come here in a few days, it will not have a good impact on our Red Flag Brigade." Mother Li said worriedly.

Father Li tore off a piece of cigarette paper from the cloth bag, took out a handful of shredded tobacco and rolled it, licked the corner at the end, pinched it a few more times, held it in his mouth, and the matchstick lit up with a click. , lit it, took a deep breath, and blew out several smoke rings.

"It's hard!" He held back two words for a long time.

Li Kaiqi on the side already has an idea, and is afraid that if things don't work out, their happiness will be in vain, so she can't tell her plan yet.

"Mom and Dad, I have to go to the city tomorrow. Can you let my brother accompany me?" She said innocently.

The Li family's parents looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

However, thinking that what happened today was all caused by her, and looking at her son's haggard appearance, she simply let her two siblings play for a day.

Mother Li winked at Father Li, then saw Father Li take out a dollar from his pocket and said, "Here, save some money."

Li Shengli quickly waved his hand and said, "Dad, I saved enough money myself."

When Father Li heard this, he gave up.

Then, Li Kaiqi stood up and pulled Li Shengli up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the brigade leader to ask for leave and write a letter of introduction."

After saying that, the brother and sister walked out joltingly.

On the road

"If I'm not going to play tomorrow, I have something to do, right?" Li Shengli stared at Li Kaiqi and said in a very sure tone.

Li Kaiqi always thought that her cheap brother was stupid, but she didn't expect that he was a sinister person.

"I've found a job for you in the city. I'll tell our parents when it's done."

"It's hard to find a job in the city, so I'd better take note of yours." Li Shengli said movedly.

After finishing it, the family fell asleep to the sounds of birds and insects.

The next day

The two got up early to wash up. Li Kaiqi secretly packed two bags of milk powder into a backpack and set off with Li Shengli.

The shuttle bus from the town to the county seat started. Flowers, grass and trees flew by quickly outside the window. The wheels rolled over the dry yellow soil road, raising a thick layer of khaki mud mist. The Li Shengli brother and sister who had the window open looked disgraced. of.

"Brother, close the window quickly. You didn't believe me when I just got in the car. Now we are all like clay figures." Li Kaiqi said angrily.

"Hahaha, what are we afraid of in the countryside?"

half an hour later

County Machinery Factory Family Hospital

Knock knock knock, knock knock knock, Li Kaiqi knocked on Aunt Wang’s door.

When Aunt Wang opened the door and saw them, she hurriedly welcomed them into the room and sat down. She made two glasses of sugar water and handed them to them with a smile on her face.

Li Kaiqi took it calmly, while Li Shengli seemed a little cautious.

Li Shengli was shocked after entering the house. The conditions in Aunt Wang's house were so good!

The room was bright and white, and there were candies, biscuits and fruits on the solid wood table. The radio with the antenna was playing the news, and the floral cloth covered the sewing machine. Li Shengli was afraid of showing his timidity, so he only glanced at it quickly. He lowered his head and drank sugar water.

"This is your eldest brother and my nephew! The young man looks old and energetic." Aunt Wang looked Li Shengli up and down and said.

Normally, Li Kaiqi would definitely be too lazy to chat, but from now on, her eldest brother will have to work under others, so he will be a little more patient.

"Yes, this is my eldest brother."

Then he said to Li Shengli: "Brother, please introduce yourself to Aunt Wang!"

"My name is Li Shengli. I am 18 years old this year. I have a junior high school education. I live in the Red Flag Brigade." Li Shengli said matter-of-factly.

"Shengli is a good name, and he looks energetic."

When Li Kaiqi saw that Aunt Wang didn't say anything about the follow-up, she knew that this was the case before the rabbit came before the hawk. She reached out and opened the cover of the backpack placed at her feet. Aunt Wang saw that there were two bags of high-dry powder in the backpack, and the smile on her face deepened.

Li Kaiqi picked up two bags of milk powder and handed them over. Aunt Wang took them and was about to give the money. She declined: "Forget it this time, just treat it as a meeting gift for the two younger brothers."

Seeing that the little girl was cheerful, Aunt Wang was not pretentious. She took the milk powder and started chatting.

Aunt Wang asked: "Shengli, what do you do?"

Li Shengli replied: "After graduating from junior high school, I will work in our production team."

Aunt Wang said thoughtfully: "We are recruiting security guards in the security department of the machinery factory. Two shifts will cost 18 yuan a month, and one night shift will stipend [-] cents. Although the money is not much, at least you are a regular worker, and there are benefits during the New Year and the holidays. ."

Then he said: "If you are willing to go for the interview, let's go for the interview."

It's said to be an interview, but it's actually a matter where the lice on the bald man's head are obvious and a sure thing.

Li Shengli naturally understood what his sister had done just now, and said quickly: "I'm willing to do it."

Li Kaiqi said politely: "Thank you Aunt Wang very much."

After saying that, the three of them went to the factory.

Machinery factory recruitment office

I saw that Aunt Wang said a few words to the head of the recruitment office, and the head looked at Li Shengli and gave him the recruitment form.

After leaving the machinery factory with the recruitment form, Aunt Wang warned: "Fill it out as soon as you get back and report to the factory early tomorrow."

After saying that, Aunt Wang went towards the family courtyard.

"Brother, it's getting late now. Let's go to a state-owned restaurant for dinner."

"Old man, I don't have much money and food stamps today, so let's buy two buns to make up for it. I'll treat you to a good meal when I get my salary next month."

Li Kaiqi patted his arm domineeringly and said, "I'm treating you today. Brother, please open your belly and eat."

It's okay not to mention this, but when I mention Li Shengli, I think of the time when Lao Qiaoga gave Aunt Wang two bags of high-quality dry powder.

Li Shengli looked around and lowered his voice and asked, "Where did Gao Ganfen come from? How did you and Aunt Wang know each other?"

Li Kaiqi secretly screamed, looking at her elder brother's tortured look.

She hesitated and said: "I once came to the scrapyard in the city and found two large pearls in a chair leg. I took one and sold it on the black market for 100 yuan, thinking that I could give it to my parents. To replenish my health, I bought two bags with my classmate. Her parents are both high-ranking officials and there are several bags at home, but there has never been a suitable reason to take them out."

He added: "I picked up Aunt Wang's wallet on the roadside once, so she was very grateful to me. It happened that the factory was recruiting workers and asked me to ask if anyone in the family wanted to come to work. I also wanted to implement the work today, so I Take it out and thank her.”

After hearing this, Li Shengli was not as furious as expected. The 1.8-meter-old boy looked at her with red eyes and a distressed face.
