Quick Travel: The Long Road to Resurrection

Uncle Chang carefully put the mooncakes into the lunch box, thinking that thanks to the victory boy, who would be willing to spend money to buy this expensive thing, take it out tomorrow, eat a small piece each, and treat it as a holiday.

Li Shengli sat on the bullock cart and asked with a naive smile: "Uncle, why haven't you returned to the village today?"

"Speaking of which, you have to thank Aunt Xin, otherwise you will have to go back to the production team on your knees." Uncle Chang said funny.

After hearing this, Li Shengli asked in confusion: "Uncle, what are you talking about? Why are you thanking Grandma Xin?"

"Aunt Xin's daughter got married in the town and hasn't been back for almost a year. She was worried that her daughter would come to the town to visit. However, her uncle was not very practical and always looked down on her. She was afraid of being kicked out by her uncle, so I had to do it. Waiting for her! I sent the others back, and I saw you just after I came up." Uncle Chang said

"I don't want to thank Grandma Xin." Li Shengli said with a naive smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Xin arrived.

She didn't look good, and didn't pay attention to Li Shengli's greetings. She just sat on the bullock cart blankly, and the three of them returned to the production team in silence.

Under the big locust tree, holding bowls and blowing cattail fans, the leaders, Mrs. Chang and Mrs. Xu, were talking about whose child wet the bed again last night and whose daughter-in-law was at war with the old woman.

Seeing Li Shengli passing by with a net bag, Mrs. Xu felt a little uncomfortable. Mrs. Chang ignored her old partner's affairs with the Li family and thought about whether she could help with the marriage. Her Xu family was not authentic, so how could she talk about the Li family's engagement gift? , and they are quite famous in the production team, but the Xu family still wants to compete with the city.

"Shengli is back. These big and small bags are like celebrating the New Year." Mrs. Chang said to Li Shengli.

"Well, it's holiday. This is the Mid-Autumn Festival benefit given by the factory. I bought cigarettes for my dad and a skirt for my mom." Li Shengli raised his net bag and said.

As soon as Mrs. Xu heard this, the rice she was holding in her hand immediately lost its aroma. This person was so angry that she was comparing herself to others. The net bag was clearly visible. There was a pack of snacks in an enamel basin. It was about one or two pounds in size. There is white sugar, it’s all expensive stuff!

"Oh, you are a filial child. Your parents are so lucky to have such a good son like you." Mrs. Chang said enviously.

After finishing speaking, he sighed: "As expected of a state-owned factory, it is a holiday and it is a holiday gift. How can our team have such benefits? Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we only have one day off. Our team also points to the energy-saving rest in these years." A day and a half, don’t you think it’s annoying!”

When Li Shengli heard this, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Chang Nai and Uncle Chang were indeed mother and son, and they all said the same thing.

"It's another four days off, and your job in the city is so rewarding." An uncle said.

"Uncle, it's seven days this time, and there are still three days left during the Mid-Autumn Festival!" Li Shengli replied.

"Good guy, is your factory still recruiting people in Shengli?" asked the second-rate man in the production team.

Before Li Shengli could answer, the uncle from before scolded: "It's okay if others ask. Why are you two pillars here to join in the fun? Even if the factory recruits workers, they won't hire people like you!"

Everyone burst into laughter, which relieved Li Shengli's awkward situation of not being able to answer. He told everyone that he was going home for dinner and then walked home.

On his way home, Xu Xinxin caught up with him.

Xu Xinxin looked aggrieved and looked at Li Shengli with some ambiguity. I don't know, she thought they were talking about a young couple in love!

"Brother Shengli, everyone in the team is laughing at my family and me." Xu Xinxin said angrily.

Li Shengli looked confused and didn't understand why Xu Xinxin stopped him just to say this.

It doesn't matter between us. People are laughing at you, Xu Xinxin. What does it have to do with me, Li Shengli?

Xu Xin was happy to see that he didn't speak after he had said so much.

He said a little angrily: "When will you let your parents come to talk about our marriage again?"

Li Shengli was even more confused when he heard this. They were the ones who proposed it first, but then they thought there were too few things, and now Xu Xinxin was asked to say it. He couldn't figure out where the Xu family had gone wrong.

Anyway, I don’t know how to ask my parents to visit the Xu family again?

Li Shengli said coldly: "Xu Xinxin, I'm going home, don't block the way."

After saying that, Li Shengli quickly passed Xu Xinxin and walked home.

Li family

The family was eating when they saw Li Shengli push in the door. They didn't expect that he would be back tonight, so they didn't cook his meal.

"Mom and Dad, you guys eat while I go make a bowl of noodles for my brother."

After Li Kaiqi finished speaking, she went to the kitchen.

Li's mother asked with concern how many holidays Li Shengli would take. Then she looked at the things she brought back and said very unhappy, "Li Shengli, do you have money to burn?"

"The mooncakes, sugar, and washbasins are from the factory, and I bought the cigarettes for dad." Li Shengli said weakly.

After hearing this, Mother Li's face became happy again. She looked through the things distributed in the factory, picked up the wrapping paper from the department store and asked, "What is this?"

"This is a birthday gift for my mother. Open it quickly and take a look. You will definitely appreciate it." Li Shengli said.

Mother Li took it apart and saw that it was a long skirt of good quality.

"This thing is so expensive. Why did you buy it? How much does it cost?" Li's mother complained.

Li Shengli heard that his mother was complaining, but why was there a hint of joy in his voice?

"It's 16 yuan. I saw a lot of people in the city wearing these, so I bought one for my mother."

When Mother Li heard that it cost 16 yuan, her movements in holding the skirt became much softer.

"A family from the Five-Star Brigade made a set of really good ones for only 14 yuan. It looks like it has more fabric than this one. Why is it so expensive?" Mother Li said with her mouth wide open.

How could Li Shengli know? The waiter said it was 16 yuan anyway, so he couldn't lie to himself!

"I don't know, that's the price the waiter said. Maybe ready-made clothes are more expensive!"

Mother Li thought about such a cool skirt. If she wore it, she would be the most honorable member of the Red Flag Brigade.

I feel very strange in my heart, but I still say: "I am going to be a grandma, how can I wear this foreign stuff? People who look back should laugh at the old cucumber for painting it green and pretending to be young."

Li Shengli still had some emotional intelligence, so he hurriedly said: "If you put on this dress, I will look like you are in your early twenties at most. If you go out on the street with Lao Dazai, people will think you two are sisters!"

Of course Li's mother knew that Li Shengli told lies, but what a woman!

No matter how old she is, she likes to hear people compliment her on her youth.

Father Li put down the bowl, interrupted the mother and son, and said angrily: "If you think it's expensive, give it to me! It's his wish to buy more or less, go and try to see if the size suits you."

I was very happy at first. This was Daqianmen. It was my first job in the Red Flag Brigade. Who knew it was just a fraction of other people’s jobs? I suddenly felt that my son was raising a child for nothing. So I felt very unhappy when I saw my old wife taking advantage of her and acting like a good boy. .
