Ever since Li Youliang knew that he could follow Lu Xie to Beijing to do odd jobs, his waist and legs no longer hurt, and he could run five miles in one breath.
But now there is a crucial issue: he doesn't want to stay in high school for another half a year. He wants to go to Beijing with Sister Lu and the others after the Chinese New Year.
For this matter, he also privately consulted Lu Laoxianer. Lu Laoxianer meant that as long as Li Xiangyang agreed, he could go with him at any time.
Isn't it? From then on, no matter where Li Xiangyang went, there was a follower behind him, who kept calling him "dad" all day long and made him restless.
That day, Li Xiangyang, who was fed up with being harassed, finally exploded:
"What are you doing, huh? What on earth are you doing? Why are you following me around instead of doing your work?"
Li Youliang, who was yelled at, squatted on the ground with grievance, and said in a muffled voice:
"Dad, I didn't intend to do anything. I just wanted you to agree to let me go to the capital."
Li Xiangyang glanced at his little son, who was curled up on the ground, and felt a little sorry for him. He said earnestly:
"Third brother, I thought that you had at least attended high school for two years, and now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, wouldn't it be better for you to go to college instead of working?
Your mother and I suffer from the lack of education. Your elder brother is already over the age limit, but you are just fine. Dad doesn’t have any high hopes. He just hopes that you can go to college and find a job in the future, right?
The third one..."
Seeing that his father was about to give another long speech, Li Youliang quickly interrupted his father's endless preaching and asked a soul-stirring question:
"Dad, what kind of university do you think I can get into with my level?"
Li Xiangyang, who was originally trying to persuade his son to go to school, was stuck. He didn't know where to start with the rest of the things he wanted to say. It looked funny to just open his mouth.
Seeing that he had stumped the old man, Li Youliang continued:
"Dad, you know I'm not cut out for school. Instead of wasting half a year of time and money in school, I might as well follow Master Xian'er to the capital to see the world.
And I think he is right. There are many opportunities in Beijing. What if I just get lucky and become rich?
Dad, do you want me to succeed?
Dad, I'm going to make money and buy a house in Beijing. Then I'll bring you and my mother to the city to enjoy life."
Li Youliang began to paint a rosy picture for his father.
Li Xiangyang thought for a moment and said, "Let me go home and discuss it with your mother. Go back first and don't follow me for the next few days."
Seeing that his father had finally wavered, Li Youliang stopped pursuing him relentlessly, and the nodding one was like a chicken pecking at rice:
"Okay, then Dad, I'll go to the educated youth camp first, and then I'll be home for dinner in the evening!"
Does he want to follow? He doesn't want to either! That's really no other choice.
Li Xiangyang waved his hands and chased the person away like a fly. These days, even if he wanted to go to the toilet, he had to wait at the door with paper in his hand. It almost annoyed him to death...
————————————————
When Li Youliang arrived at the educated youth point, Lu Wensheng was peeling rabbit skins in the yard. In the basin next to him were seven or eight fat, skinned rabbits, looking pink and tender.
Lu Hao took a salt shaker and squatted aside to rub salt on it. In front of Shen Lingling was a large basin of pig offal. Meng Qingtang was working as a laborer in the county town and had not been released yet.
"Sister Lu, what are you doing?"
Comrade Li Youliang was a man with a keen eye. He washed his hands as soon as he entered the door and applied salt with Lu Hao.
It’s a nice day today, so I didn’t feel cold while working in the yard.
"Why are you here to smoke some cured meat? Did your father agree?" Lu Wensheng asked while peeling a rabbit skillfully.
When this topic was mentioned, Li Youliang's mouth almost stretched to his ears:
"Well, it's almost certain. After the New Year, I can go with you guys, hehe."
Upon hearing this, Ma Yingjie said excitedly: "Ah, then we don't have to separate, right? I'll take you around when we get to the capital!"
Although he has never been to Beijing, this does not stop the two of them from going out and having fun.
Li Youliang rolled his eyes: "Come on, you still have to go to school. I'd rather rely on myself than on you.
By the time you have your holiday, I will have a good understanding of the capital, and it will be hard to say who will lead whom by then!"
Lu Hao: "......!"
He was speechless...
"Okay, then I will hang out with Brother Youliang from now on~"
Li Youliang patted his chest and said, "I guarantee it!"
Li Youliang stayed here until dinner time. His hands were soaked in salt during the whole afternoon. Not only did he prepare the rabbit meat, he also followed Sister Lu up the mountain to chop down a cypress tree. It is said that the bacon smoked from cypress is particularly delicious.
Although he has never smoked it, he doesn't know...
But just follow the instructions, the main point is to be obedient!
Knowing that the meat would need to be marinated for another two days, Li Youliang decided to go home first:
"Then I'll leave first. My family is waiting for me to go back for dinner. I'll also go and find out what my father has to say."
Lu Wensheng nodded: "Okay! Lingling's braised large intestine, you can just bring some back for my uncle to eat, so I can save a trip."
"Okay, then I'll thank you on behalf of my father."
Li Youliang did not refuse, because he knew that this was a gift from someone to his father as a filial gift.
As for human feelings...
The old man can pay it back himself!
Not long after, Li Youliang walked out of the courtyard with a lunch box of braised large intestines and braised pork liver. Lu Hao closed the courtyard door with his feet, and then he came back and slammed the door, shouting softly while slamming:
"Something happened, something happened. There was an incident at the Youth League Center. Xiao Luzi, open the door quickly!"
Just as Ma Yingjie hadn't entered the room yet, he was a little excited when he heard about the incident at the educated youth center. What was going on? He quickly ran over and reopened the door, and asked with shining eyes:
"What happened?"
Li Youliang blinked his sparkling eyes like Lu Hao and shook his head, saying excitedly:
"I don't know. I came here as soon as I heard someone arguing inside. Hurry up and call Sister Lu and Sister Shen out to watch the fun. The argument is so fierce! They're even talking about poisoning or something."
"I'll go right away!"
Ma Yingjie was about to run to the kitchen, but just as he turned around, he saw Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling standing at the kitchen door, and hurriedly urged them:
"My two ancestors, please hurry up, or you will miss it!"
Lu Wensheng: "..."
Shen Lingling: "..."
Do you want to listen to what you are saying? If you don't know, you might think it's a movie!
