Chapter 27 Visiting Relatives and Friends



Su Ping said this just to drive He Rui away. After all, He Linyuan married a village girl and the place where he lived was also a mountain village. He Rui would suffer if she went there.

But He Yanzhang considered her words carefully, thinking of his daughter's weak spot, and perhaps only reuniting the siblings could soften it.

After dinner, He Yanzhang called his subordinates in Heilongjiang Province. He Rui was a worker-peasant-soldier college student. She studied at a normal school but had not been assigned a job yet.

He Yanzhang originally didn't want to interfere with her, but in order to get her a job in Songbei County, he had to use his connections.

......

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day to visit relatives and friends, and Song Li went into the city with New Year gifts.

She bought New Year's goods for Qi Huaiyu before the New Year. Worried that he couldn't cook, she stewed meat and fried fish for him. She also steamed two pots of buns and steamed buns, enough for him to eat until the end of the month.

Qi Huaiyu has been down and out for nearly ten years. In the past, he spent the New Year alone with nothing to eat. This year, he felt warmth for the first time.

When Song Li arrived, he was eating meat and drinking wine. There was an old man in the thatched hut. He was dressed as shabbily as Qi Huaiyu, but his demeanor was extraordinary.

Seeing Song Li come in, the old man looked at her with sharp eyes for a moment, then left abruptly and raised his glass to Qi Huaiyu.

"You are a good little disciple. After living for half a lifetime, your eyesight is finally better for once."

Qi Huaiyu laughed at himself, "Little Li is here, don't say those spoiling things."

"Hmph! As if I'm the one who said that." The old man rolled his eyes at him and continued drinking.

It can be seen from the way the two get along that they have a close relationship, and Qi Huaiyu introduced them to Song Li.

"Li girl, this is your Grandpa Zhou, he's also a greedy old man. Next time you bring wine, bring him a jar too."

"Okay, Grandpa Zhou, you can tell me what you like to drink and I will brew it for you." Song Li agreed sweetly.

The fruits in her space are ripe. Not only can they be used to make wine, but also peach wine, plum wine, rice wine, and even ginseng wine.

Zhou Shaoli drank the wine in the glass, and his brows relaxed. "This wine is delicious, but the taste is light. Next time, I'll order something with a higher alcohol content."

"You, old man Zhou, really ordered the dish. This is my apprentice, not yours!"

Qi Huaiyu quit, but he was reluctant to order his little apprentice around. Zhou Shaoli was really not shy.

"Tsk!" Zhou Shaoli couldn't stand his protective look, so he took out a jade button from his pocket and threw it to Song Li.

This jade button is flawless white and feels soft to the touch. It is actually a piece of warm jade.

"You are quite sensible." Qi Huaiyu scolded with a smile, then said to Song Li.

"Li girl, keep this jade button. Your Grandpa Zhou has all good things."

The Zhou family used to be wealthy. All the shops on the entire street in Songbei County belonged to the Zhou family. Although they were all donated, who wouldn't keep some treasures for themselves?

As soon as Song Li got the jade button, he felt the space of his spiritual sea tremble, and an indescribable comfort spread from his mind.

This jade actually has the function of nourishing space!

Song Li's eyes flashed with excitement, and after listening to Qi Huaiyu's words, she nodded heavily.

"Grandpa Zhou, I will definitely bring you some good wine next time!"

......

After leaving Qi Huaiyu, Song Li went to Liu Xuejun's house again. Feng Mei bought her several large bags of red dates and wolfberry tea before the New Year. This big customer had to be maintained well.

The New Year gift Song Li gave was wild wine, two kilograms of which were contained in a white porcelain bottle. It was said to be better for beauty and skin care than red date and wolfberry tea, and it could also help with sleep. She believed Feng Mei would like it after drinking it.

The business Song Linian wants to start after the New Year is selling tea and wine. With Feng Mei as her introducer, she will never lack customers.

Sure enough, Feng Mei fell in love with it after drinking half a cup. If Song Li hadn't been there, she would have definitely drunk a few cups.

"Your brother Xuejun likes to drink alcohol. I said there was nothing good about the wine. It turns out I didn't get to drink anything good."

Feng Mei smiled brightly, "This wine is also very decent to bring to friends and relatives. If it weren't for the current restrictions on doing business, with your craftsmanship, you could open a shop."

Song Li smiled and didn't respond. There were still nine months before the reform and opening up, so she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

However, where there is a need, there is a way. Feng Mei really likes this wine. The Liu family and her mother's family, the Feng family, are both well-known families in Songbei County. They have seen all kinds of good things, but they lack some rare ones.

Feng Mei had already anticipated how prestigious it would be to give wine as a gift during the Chinese New Year, so she pulled Song Li aside and asked earnestly.

"Sister, how many bottles of wine do you have? I'll buy them all."

Song Li originally came to sell wine, so he didn't take advantage of the situation and just told the price.

In fact, with the flow rate of her space, she can make hundreds of bottles every day, but too many will not be rare. Song Li controls the number to ten bottles a month and will not make mistakes.

Feng Mei nodded, "Okay, I'll take them all. I'll ask Brother Xuejun to pick them up from your house later."

Feng Mei was efficient and generous. She gave Song Li five yuan for each bottle of wine. You have to know that five yuan was a lot of money in the 1970s. Maotai was only eight yuan a bottle.

Song Li earned fifty yuan just by going to the county town, and the smile on his face widened.

Seeing that it was still early, she planned to visit Xiang Qian's house and discuss with him what business they could do after the New Year.

Xiang Qian's family lives in a tube-shaped building. People in the building share one kitchen and bathroom. The corridor is steep and narrow, and Song Li almost fell several times.

His home was on the third floor, and as soon as Song Li climbed up, he heard Xiang Qian's roar.

"This is my parents' house, what right do you have to occupy it?"

"Your parents have been dead for many years. Now your second uncle works in the factory, so this house should be ours!"

Second Aunt Xiang, Zhu Cuihua, retorted that her son, Xiang Jun, was going to get married next year, and the place at home was too small for him to live in, so she had her eyes on Xiang Qian's house.

"You can tell the factory manager this. If he kicks us out, I'll give the house back without a second thought!"

He looked forward with a gloomy face, his eyes full of anger.

His parents had an accident in the factory, and this house was given to him as a consolation house by the factory director. As long as the factory wants to maintain its reputation, the house will not be taken back.

Zhu Cuihua also knew about this relationship, so she only dared to threaten Xiang Qian.

But what does she have to be afraid of: a young boy without parents and an old lady with one foot half buried in the ground?

Thinking about Xiang Jun getting married, as a grandmother, she had to express her gratitude, so she shouted into the house at the top of her voice.

"Mom, our Xiangjun is getting married, and now they don't even have a wedding house. As his grandmother, shouldn't you help him? We don't want Xiangqian's house for nothing. The one facing the street is much more spacious than this one, so I'll trade it with Xiangqian."

She looked as if she had taken advantage of Xiang Qian, and almost made Xiang Qian laugh.

The roof of the house facing the street was collapsed by the accumulated snow and is completely uninhabitable. Zhu Cuihua is just going too far.

"Get lost! I won't change!"

"You have to change it, you little brat!"

Zhu Cuihua got anxious and came up to scratch him. The corridor was small, and Xiang Qian was actually scratched a few times by her.

He covered his face to avoid it, and suddenly a familiar voice appeared in his ears.

"Do you need help?"
