Hearing what her daughter said, Grandma Li put two bags of noodles into the east room and came out feeling distressed: "Oh, my silly treasure, isn't there a state-owned hotel in the county?"

Putting the sack and cloth bag next to the cotton bag, Li Dong giggled: "Hey, I was so busy that I forgot. Let's eat quickly. I'm hungry."

"Okay, let's eat. Xiaoru goes outside and brings in the two bags of rice. I'll serve the rice."

Grandma Li walked out as she spoke, and shouted to Grandpa Li who was still looking at the bicycle in the yard: "Old man, you are ready to eat. After you eat, take your time and look at it. That bicycle was bought by Dabao, right Dabao?"

Li Dong nodded: "Yes, 170 yuan and fifteen industrial coupons."

Grandma Li was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, I can buy whatever my Dabao wants."

Li Dong pursed his lips and smiled.

After the food was put on the table, Grandpa Li walked in with his hands behind his back: "If you eat so early, you will be too hungry to sleep at night."

Grandma Li, who was holding the cake basin, glared: "What's so early? Dabao didn't eat lunch, didn't you hear? If you're not hungry, just wait until it gets dark before eating."

Grandpa Li shut up.

Seeing the dough buns in the pan, Li Dong was pleasantly surprised: "Grandma, didn't the second aunt say that she can't get old noodles?"

Grandma Li said: "Your second aunt feels sorry for you, so she went back to Cao's house in Ma Touling and bought a couple of liqueurs."

Sweet wine dough?That should taste better.

Li Dong picked up the steamed bun and bit it. It was soft and sweet: "It's delicious. Thank you, Second Aunt."

The eldest niece ate happily, and Aunt Li was also happy: "If it's delicious, eat more. This time I kept the old noodles. It will be more convenient to eat next time."

"Uh-huh."

Li Dong ate one in just a few mouthfuls, without even using pickles.

Grandpa Li ate the steamed buns and praised them for being delicious.

Grandma Li glanced at him and refused to answer his words.

Li Dong smiled secretly.

After dinner, it was still bright, so Grandpa Li continued to look at the bicycles in the yard.

Grandma Li took Dabao into the west room. In the west room, five pieces of cloth were placed on the bed of the Li Weijun brothers.

"Dabao, why did you buy so much cloth? The oxcart of cloth made people jealous. The members didn't expect to buy so much. They regretted buying less."

"After unloading, these five pieces of cloth were left and sent to our house, and the members' eyes will stare down."

"Then Li Hong finally showed up, and said angrily that our family has never been so generous before, why did we buy so much at once? Did he make ill-gotten gains? Did he give others some benefit?"

"Then Zhao Zhiqing also followed suit, and the two of them sang in harmony. Your second aunt was so angry that she pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and the two of them shut up."

Li Dong didn't plan to pay attention to Li Hong and Zhao Yongning for the time being. If he didn't want to mess with her, he would put them aside: "These cotton fabrics are for making quilts. You can cut them as you watch. If they are seriously faded or defective, avoid them." ."

"Cut off the big pieces and save them for underwear or short-sleeved jackets in summer."

"Make me two sets of polyester khaki and two more pairs of trousers. Make me two sets of corduroy. The rest will be made for you and my second aunt."

"As for the members regretting it, let them regret it. I will no longer help them issue approval slips."

"They don't understand what's going on here. I've even gone there twice in a row. If I go again, I'll really be accused of buying and selling. I've stopped running around recently."

Grandma Li nodded repeatedly: "That's right, I don't go out much these days. I go too often and make people jealous."

Li Dong responded: "Well, we dry and pick cotton at home."

Speaking of cotton, Grandma Li returned to the main room again.

When he saw the hot water bottle in the cloth bag, he quickly took it out. When he saw the mirror wrapped in wrapping paper, he nodded with satisfaction.

Li Dong took out the basin and spittoon from the sack, carried the sack out of the main room and called to the kitchen for Aunt Li to come to the west side room.

Li Ergu left the matter of boiling water to her husband, took the shovel and went to the west side room.

Li Dong lit the kerosene lamp and signaled Aunt Li to open the door.

Li Ergu opened the door, turned around and saw two open aluminum boxes: "This? Is this a fake?"

"Correct!"

Li Dong lowered his voice, took out a magnifying glass from his cloth bag, and taught her how to read the "王" mark.

Li Ergu rolled up her sleeves and worked with confidence.

It's not easy to dig it out, but it's easy to bury it back.

But Li Dong was worried. Every time Li Ergu filled in a layer of soil, she would go into the ditch and step on it.

Xu Guixiang, mother and daughter, are very cunning and scheming. The soil is so easy to dig, so they must be suspicious: "What's going on over there today?"

"do not know."

Li Ergu shook her head: "Today's excitement is about buying cloth and distributing it, and there are people who are assigned to faded cloth, which is noisy."

The members of the commune would quarrel every day over trivial matters. If they couldn't get good cloth after spending money, of course they would quarrel.

In more than half an hour, the aunt and nephew were finished.

Li Dong sighed, no matter what Xu Guixiang's mother and daughter had planned, the real thing was in her hands, which made her feel at ease.

After carrying the bed back to its original place and laying out the sheets, Aunt Li also looked anxiously at the cotton.

Grandma Li was looking at Li Dong's polyester and cardigan clothes. Seeing Aunt Li come in, she said with emotion: "The clothes sewn with a sewing machine are just different."

Li Dong happened to come in and replied: "It's not as strong as hand sewing. If I put it on my body, I can break it free."

Li Ergu agreed: "Dabao is right, hand-sewn clothes are still strong and the threads are not easy to unravel."

Grandma Li gave the clothes to Li Dong: "You put it on first, and grandma will make it for you tomorrow."

Thinking of those tattered clothes, Li Dong asked: "Those clothes are mended..."

Grandma Li waved her hands hurriedly: "If you don't mend it, you can't wear the burned clothes again, keep the shoe shells."

Well, Grandma Li is too particular, so Li Dong just goes along with the flow: "Then do it for me first, and then do it for Caixia and the others."

"By the way, Second Aunt, Caixia said that if you don't come home in two days, she will bring Shoucheng Shoye. You went back to buy sweet wine today. What did she say? Are you coming?"

Grandma Li knew it when Ergu Li's body paused.

"Your second aunt probably didn't even enter the house. She bought sweet wine and came back just to make dough for you."

Li Dong secretly sighed that Dabao did not care about the blessings: "That's fine, Caixia will definitely come tomorrow and ask her and Shoucheng Shouye to stay at home for a few days."

"Tell your second uncle to ride to the commune or the county town early tomorrow morning to buy meat. If you can't buy meat, buy pigs."

Second Aunt Li thought her eldest niece was hungry for meat: "Okay, I'll ask your second uncle to go before dawn."

Li Dong turned around and left the main room, walked around the backyard and returned, giving Grandma Li the ticket and 200 yuan that Grandma Li had given her.

"Grandma, take this. This money is what I earned from going to the city twice, including money to buy bicycles and pots, bottles and mirrors."

"I haven't touched the money. It was left by my father. I won't touch it if I can."

Grandma Li's hand paused, then she smiled and accepted: "Dabao is able to do it, Grandma is relieved."

Li Dong raised his fat hand to wipe away the tears that fell from the corner of Grandma Li's eyes: "Grandma, don't worry, I won't embarrass my father and you. From now on, we will get better and better."

Grandma Li wiped more and more tears. She raised her sleeves and wiped them herself: "Grandma believes it because you are your father's child."
