Chapter 91 3 Lollipop

Why Xiao Lizhuang is so poor, the answer can be found in Jiang Baili's memory.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, Xiaolizhuang is a small village at the foot of the mountains.

Behind the big mountain behind Xiaolizhuang is a small plain, where there are three other villages, the population and conditions of which are much better than Xiaolizhuang.

The only way out for Xiao Lizhuang is the front.

There is a river in front of Xiaolizhuang. I usually rely on this river for irrigation of paddy fields and daily washing. Unfortunately, this river does not belong to Xiaolizhuang.

Because there is also a village in the upper reaches across the river. This village is also called Lizhuang. The locals also call it Dali Village. There is a small Lizhuang and a big Lizhuang. As you can imagine, there are more than 2000 people in Dali Village opposite. The population of Xiaoli Village is four times larger, and the larger the population, the more fields it occupies.

There are many fields, so naturally there is more water. Since Xiaolizhuang is surrounded by mountains on three sides, all the soil fields allocated are dry fields below the mountains.

This kind of dry land naturally uses more water. In order to compete for water every year, there are countless times of gang fights between Xiaolizhuang and Dalizhuang. Fortunately, both villages are surnamed Li, and no one was killed. The reason is that every year in the water grabbing battle, naturally most of them fail.

This also caused Xiao Lizhuang to have a poor harvest of food every year. In order to survive, the people in Xiaolizhuang could only plant some corn and sweet potato subsidies on the stone mountain behind. The people in Zhuang are full.

The living environment in Xiaoli Village is so bad that it is strange that the educated youths do not run away. The educated youths with connections are not willing to come to Xiaoli Village to jump in the queue.

Qin He carried the bacon and lollipops, looked at the surrounding environment, and frowned, thinking about how to improve the living environment of Xiao Lizhuang.

Just as he was thinking, an old man on the other side of the road hurried over here with a bag of something.

Qin He hastily stepped forward to say hello.

"Second Uncle Li, what are you doing this New Year's Eve?"

"It's not a hundred miles away, cough cough, there is no food at home here, I will use some of the rice at home to go to the town to exchange for some coarse grains."

Qin He shook his head helplessly. It was sad to say that this New Year's Eve went to a town ten miles away to exchange coarse grains, and Qin He couldn't say anything.

Seeing the bacon in Qin He's hand, Second Uncle Li swallowed his saliva, his eyes lit up, and he looked uncomfortable to ask, which made Qin He feel amused, and quickly explained.

"No, the family dragged someone over to bring some bacon, and I'll take it to my uncle's house!"

"So I'm going to Secretary Li's house! Then you go first!"

Li Zhanjun's prestige in this village can't be said. If Qin He said it casually, everyone knew who Qin He was referring to as his uncle.

Everyone has heard about the relationship between Qin He and Li Shuying, not to mention Xiao Lizhuang, but Da Lizhuang opposite. After all, there are quite a few people who want to be the son-in-law of Li Zhanjun's family.

After bidding farewell to the villagers, Qin He continued to walk towards Li Shuying's house.

In fact, the relationship between the educated youth and the local villagers is pretty good, not as bad as in scar literature. Of course, this may also be based on places and people. At least the secretary Li Zhanjun of Xiaolizhuang is still very reasonable. One of the devil's veterans is a uniform.

Of course, if the reasoning doesn't make sense, then I will naturally speak to you with my fists.

Apart from being a bit irritable at times, he is also a very responsible brigade secretary.

Secretary Li's family conditions are better than most of the villagers' families in Xiaolizhuang. After all, he is a secretary and a veteran, and the various subsidies are much more than the villagers. In addition, there is no son in the family, so the conditions should be good.

On the west side of the village, under a big camphor tree, there is a big courtyard with a big tile-roofed house, which is Li Zhanjun's home. In the past, when Qin He passed by here, he would tremble with fear, for fear of running into Li Zhanjun.

Arriving here today, Qin He also has mixed feelings in his heart. In the future, he will take root in Xiaoli Village, so it is essential to have a good relationship with the future father-in-law.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the yard, a little girl saw Qin He in the yard, and the little girl ran home quickly, not forgetting to shout while running.

"Sister, sister, that person is here!"

Qin He couldn't laugh or cry, the gate of the yard was not closed, Qin He walked into the yard, there was a separate kitchen in the yard, just as Qin He walked in, he saw two women coming out of the kitchen, the older one was Li Shuying's mother, the other The young girl is Li Shuying.

This was the first time Qin He saw Li Shuying. She was about 1.6 meters tall, with a pretty face and curly hair. She was not a very beautiful big beauty, but that kind of gentleness was exactly what Qin He liked.

She was helping the kitchen when she suddenly heard her fourth sister shouting. Before she could figure out what was going on, she went out with her mother to check. As soon as she raised her head, she saw Qin He with a smirk on her face. Li Shuying turned around shyly.

In the past few months, the relationship between the two has been unclear. After the relationship between the two was exposed, Li Shuying also suffered a lot, and her parents kept chattering.

And Jiang Baili, who was originally enthusiastic about her, didn't come to her in the past few months. They only met when they were at work, but the other party was neither hot nor cold, which made her cry countless times under the quilt.

As for the meeting of several educated youths yesterday, because one of the female educated youths had a big quarrel with her rural husband, the matter was also exposed. Li Zhanjun also knew the news immediately. Secretary Li was also very pleased with Jiang Baili's choice , so we had this noon trip.

Li Shuying actually didn't know the whole story, but seeing Jiang Baili dared to come to her house alone, this already explained the problem, she hid in the kitchen a little shyly, but her mother knew the inside story, and saw Qin He carrying the bacon, immediately A smile blossomed on his face, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Oh, Xiao Jiang, you came just as you came, what else did you bring!"

"Auntie, just a little bacon, it's nothing, here's a box of Alpine lollipops, for Shulan and Shuyuan's children!"

"What candy?"

Qin He quickly realized that he shouldn't have said the brand name, and quickly explained.

"It's nothing. My relatives dragged people here to bring this candy and bacon. I don't like to cook alone. Why don't I come and try my aunt's cooking!"

Jiang Baili's family situation is not known to people in Xiaolizhuang, but everyone knows that he is from another province, so it is not surprising.

But my aunt didn't pay attention to this point, her eyes still stayed on the two catties of bacon, and she saw that the candy packaging was colorful, it looked like a high-end product.A look of joy suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Hearing the word candy, Shuyuan, who had already entered the room, quickly showed her little head, looking this way, Qin He saw this, first handed the bacon to his aunt, opened the package of lollipops, and took out a lollipop. Pass it over and say.

"Yuanyuan, uncle gave you a strawberry-flavored lollipop, you must like it!"

With his aunt nearby, Qin He didn't dare to ask the little girl to call him brother-in-law.

When Shuyuan saw the lollipop Qin He handed over, her eyes were full of longing. In fact, she didn't know what a lollipop was, but it should be delicious, but she didn't dare to pick it up, but fell in love with herself Mom.

The aunt took the bacon, and her face was even more happy. In her eyes, the two catties of bacon were much more valuable than the small box of candy, but seeing the colorful packaging, she was a little bit reluctant, so she pretended to be calm and authentic.

"Baili, it's not good for this kid to eat too much sugar, he's prone to moths, why don't you save it for the Chinese New Year!"

Qin He smiled and waved his hands.

"It's okay, this candy is fruit-flavored, the children have never eaten it, give them a taste!"

"fruit flavour?"

When the aunt heard this, she immediately became curious, but she still suppressed her curiosity. When she saw the eager eyes of the little girl in the room, she couldn't help but cough slightly.

"Why are you still standing there stupidly, why don't you hurry up and thank uncle!"

Upon hearing the order, the little girl hurried over, took the lollipop from Qin He's hand, and looked at the package with surprise.

Qin He saw that Shuqing and Shulan were not in the yard, so he asked.

"Auntie, where are Qingqing and Lanlan?"

The aunt said while carrying the pork to the kitchen.

"Her third uncle happens to be celebrating his 53rd birthday today. Don't ask your uncle to come over for dinner. Qingqing and Lan Lan also followed! Baili, sit down first, your uncle said he would be back before noon!"

Qin He came to his senses this time. In this day and age, no one’s family is very well-off. It’s normal to call your brothers over for dinner during this new year and your birthday. You can’t bring all four of your children there, even two of them. It's normal.

However, Qin He has already arrived, and it would be impossible without a man to accompany him at home. While beckoning Qin He to come in and sit down, my aunt shouted at Shuyuan in the yard.

"Yuanyuan, go to your third uncle's house and call your dad back, and say that your Uncle Baili is here!"

The little girl responded, and jumped out of the yard with the lollipop that hadn't been torn apart.

Qin He entered the room, and casually put the remaining lollipops on the cabinet. As soon as he sat down, Shuying entered the room with the teapot.

Shuying lowered her head, ready to pour tea for Qin He shyly, but she didn't speak, and she didn't dare to look up at him.

The two met in this temporarily unoccupied small living room. The living room had just blocked the kitchen. Qin He glanced outside. Auntie had obviously gone to work, and Qin He felt his heart beating very fast.

Shuying filled the tea, Qin He mustered up his courage, his hand trembled slightly, stretched out his hand, and pulled Shuying's little hand to his palm.

Shuying raised her head in surprise, and just now looked at Qin He, both of them blushed a little.
