It was almost dark when Lu Hao and Li Youliang came back. They filled their bicycles with bags of all sizes.
"You made a fortune, kid?" Lu Xie teased, not knowing that Lu Hao had made some ill-gotten gains last night.
Ma Yingjie grinned so hard that his teeth showed: "Well, I got rich, but I spent it all!"
Li Youliang was busy moving things in the back, there was nothing he could do as Brother Hao had given him too much!
Not only did I buy him a coat, but I also bought him a pair of rubber shoes!
Li Youliang said that his elder brother had never been so nice to him in his life.
This was the scene that Li Xiangyang and Li Zhenguo saw when they entered the yard. Their son (third brother) was following Ma Ying-jeou around like a little follower, busying around like a diligent waiter.
Both the father and the son said they couldn't bear to watch it.
Li Zhenguo was the first to speak: "We have food, why are you here if you don't go home to eat?"
Li Youliang then saw his father and elder brother, and immediately ran up to them, spinning around to show off his new clothes and shoes:
"Dad, does it look good? I just bought it today, even the socks are new."
Only then did the Li family father and son see clearly the brand new military uniform and rubber shoes that Li Youliang was wearing:
"You are really good, you have saved so much private money."
Li Youliang: "What? These were all bought by my brother Hao!"
"Brother Hao? Lu Hao? Has he made a fortune?" Li Zhenguo blurted out.
Li Youliang nodded and repeated what Lu Hao said: "Yes, I sent it, but I spent it all today, hehe."
Ma Yingjie also spoke at the right time: "Well, Youliang and I spent it together!"
Li Xiangyang didn't say anything. He found a stool and sat down to listen to his eldest son's questions.
Li Zhenguo really didn't let him down and asked, "Where did you two get the money?"
Ma Yingjie knew that he couldn't hide it, and he didn't want to hide it, so he told the whole story, but he omitted the fact that Aunt Li also kept half of the money.
Li Zhenguo was so angry that he laughed. He pointed at the pile of large and small packages on the ground and asked:
"So you bought all these things with Sun Fengjiao's money?"
Ma Yingjie nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, it's so unlucky to take the dead person's money. It's better to spend it with peace of mind. As the saying goes, when money is gone, people are happy!"
He pointed at the things on the ground and said, "I've thought about it. We'll each have half of these things, hehe."
In fact, his idea was very simple. The issue of money would be exposed sooner or later. It would be unrealistic for him to keep all this money for himself, so he might as well take it out on his own initiative.
Firstly, I can gain a good reputation, and secondly, I can make them owe me a favor.
Why not kill two birds with one stone! No, it should be three. Just look at Li Youliang calling him "my brother Hao" all the time. It's so cool to hear that haha...
Li Zhenguo didn't know what to say and subconsciously looked at his father.
Li Xiangyang took two puffs of his pipe and said, "Since it's given to Xiao Luzi, he has the final say."
Sun Fengjiao is gone, Li Chunhua is not coming back, and Li Qiuyue has disappeared. There is no point in keeping the money. It is better to turn a blind eye and give it to them by Huabei!
Upon hearing this, Lu Hao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He admitted that he had gambled. When he heard that the village chief would not pursue the matter, he quickly dug out a pack of tobacco from a pile of things and gave it to Li Xiangyang like a treasure:
"Uncle, this is the best tobacco in the whole commune. Youliang and I bought it to honor you. Please try it and see how it tastes." As she said this, she was about to refill his glass.
Li Xiangyang did not stop him. He smiled as he watched Ma Yingjie stuff tobacco into his pipe, and did not forget to refill his deflated cigarette pack.
Li Xiangyang took a puff and it tasted really good. He praised casually: "Yes, it's good. Xiao Luzi is good at shopping."
"Hey, huh? Wait until you finish smoking before buying more." Ma Yingjie made the decision.
Then he took out a gray-black wool scarf from the pile and handed it to Li Zhenguo: "Brother, this is a Shanghai brand wool scarf, you can keep it for winter!"
Li Zhenguo didn't expect that there was something of his own. He took the soft scarf with a confused look on his face and touched it again and again. It was the first time he received such a good scarf!
I can't bear to wear it, I have to put it at the bottom of the box and leave it for my son to wear later!
The food was served for a while before Li Fugui finally arrived. Seeing that everyone was waiting for him, he explained a little embarrassedly:
"Well, my sister is back and making a big fuss at home, so I just found some time."
"Caixia? Why is she back from school?" Li Zhenguo asked curiously. It's not holiday now.
Li Fugui had a headache: "Don't mention it, I came back to ask for something, so it's better not to talk about it, let's eat."
His sister is not at all worry-free. It's a headache to talk about her.
Lu Wensheng was stunned at this moment. Caixia? Li Caixia? She was the one that Lingling mentioned, the younger sister of the captain who liked Chen Shanhe...
I have to go and ask Aunt Li tomorrow. I guess it won’t be long before Chen Shanhe comes back.
Oh, I don’t know if Lingling’s dad has sent that toxic best friend over. I have to collect points for Xiaoguang to upgrade the system!
Lu Wensheng was just daydreaming when she heard someone calling her: "Ah?"
Li Zhenguo laughed: "What are you thinking about? The captain is asking you a question!"
Lu Wensheng replied: "I was thinking about Lingling, she is still in the pigpen watching over the piglets!"
Ma Yingjie's eyes lit up when he heard this: "She gave birth to piglets?"
Lu Wensheng: "Yes, the baby was born today. Lingling is watching over there. I'll go bring her food later."
Ma Yingjie quickly replied: "No, no. Youliang and I will pack some food and go to the pigpen to eat, and bring Sister Shen back."
Li Youliang also nodded: "Yes, let's go to the pigpen to exchange for Sister Shen."
He had never seen a newborn piglet, so he was really curious!
The two of them took out their lunch boxes from their bags, packed a few dishes and dumplings, and ran to the pigpen impatiently.
Han Muchen thought about it and followed: "I'm going to pick up Shen Zhiqing. It's not safe for a girl like her in the dark."
Lu Wensheng suppressed his laughter: "Well, bring a flashlight."
Han Muchen felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look her in the eye. He went into the house, got a flashlight and ran away.
Li Xiangyang is an old and experienced man, and he could vaguely see some signs.
No, I have to go home and tell my wife to hurry up and do it, otherwise Shen Zhiqing, this good cabbage, will be stolen by someone else.
"Let's eat, let's eat first, the food is getting cold!" Lu Xie took out four bottles of wine from the inner room.
"Shengsheng has caused a lot of trouble for everyone in our Ping An Brigade. So tonight, you can drink as much as you want. There will be plenty of delicious food and wine! You can't leave until you finish drinking."
Li Xiangyang looked at the table full of delicious food and wine and suddenly felt uneasy. Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?
