Chapter 66: Silly but also has his own little tricks
"Brother Peng, what are you doing? Put it down!"
When Li Dayong saw Jin Peng draw his knife, he immediately shouted to stop him.
Wang Jianqiang was only slightly stunned, then he hugged Jin Peng around the waist and said tremblingly: "No, no, no, Brother Peng, no."
Li Ye reacted the fastest, but when he wanted to dodge back, he found that Jin Peng's knife was stabbing towards his palm.
By the time he realized something was wrong and flew over to stop it, it was already too late.
Jin Peng's knife pierced his palm and blood immediately flowed out.
Li Ye's hand tightly grasped Jin Peng's right hand holding the knife.
Perhaps if Li Ye had been a little slower, Jin Peng's left hand would have been pierced.
Li Ye suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Peng, what are you doing?"
Jin Peng smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, I don't know why you don't believe me, but I just want you to understand that I, Jin Peng, am not a person who forgets his roots."
"I was never a good kid since I was young and caused a lot of trouble for my family.
Even though I am always laughing and joking, I am worried at night when no one is around. I am worried that when my mother gets old, she won’t have a grandchild to hold. "
As Jin Peng spoke, tears actually fell from his eyes.
"But I'm not worried now. I really am not worried. I hooked up with a girl a few days ago. Guess how much it cost me?"
Jin Peng said with a smile: "I gave her two packs of Mudan cigarettes and three bottles of Maotai liquor, and sent her to work in a bedding factory. She wanted to marry me right then and there. Hahahahahaha."
Looking at Jin Peng who was bleeding and crying, Li Ye's mouth turned upside down.
I really don’t know whether to cry or laugh.
So he teased, "Three bottles of wine? Do you always give odd numbers as gifts?"
Jin Peng smiled and said, "I bought four bottles. On the way back, I couldn't help it, so I drank a bottle with Hao Jian. It was so delicious! I didn't even need to eat it."
Jin Peng's eyes were red, and he shouted: "If it weren't for you, Xiao Ye, would I, Jin Peng, be able to drink Maotai?
If it weren't for you, Xiao Ye, would I, Jin Peng, be able to marry a wife? For this favor, why do you think I'm an ungrateful person? I swear"
"Okay, okay, no need to swear, I believe it, I believe it, just give me the knife first."
Li Ye took the knife from Jin Peng's hand as if he was coaxing a child.
"Pah~"
Hao Jian suddenly slammed the table and shouted, "Well said. The fact that we are all gathered here today is also God's arrangement. In my opinion, we should drink blood wine and become brothers of different surnames."
"Yes, Hao Jian is right."
"Hey, good. Good idea."
"I have a bottle of Lao Baigan in my car."
Li Ye was a little dumbfounded when he saw Li Dayong and others looking for bowls and taking wine.
[Are all boys in the 1980s so fierce? ]
In his previous life, Li Ye had seen several uncles from his father's generation. Their hands either had cigarette butts or tattoos representing their age.
But Li Ye’s father said that these guys were not “social people” at all. They just listened to too many martial arts storytellings in that spiritually scarce era and became “middle school students”.
"Tsk~"
Li Ye pursed his lips and smiled helplessly.
[I am a great time-traveling emperor, but the team I formed to explore new land is actually composed of chuunibyou? 】
But no matter how immature they were, when Li Dayong, Wang Jianqiang, and even Hao Jian opened their mouths without frowning and mixed the blood wine, the smell of "the hot-blooded martial arts world" was so strong and intoxicating.
Li Ye at the top was touching the knife, gesturing at his left hand, trying to figure out which finger of the eldest or the second was the most pleasing to the eye, which resulted in a good-natured laugh.
“Hahahahaha~, it doesn’t hurt, Xiaoye, it doesn’t hurt at all.”
My fingers are connected to my heart, and you say it doesn’t hurt, are you kidding me?
"Ah~~"
Li Ye still moved his hands up and down on his arm, splashing blood all over his body.
After mixing a bowl of blood wine and giving everyone a little, Li Ye spoke first.
Otherwise, if you hear the oath "I don't ask to be born on the same day, month and year, but I ask to die on the same day, month and year", will you accept it or not?
Souls can travel through time and space, what if something goes wrong?
"It's a new society now, and the oath should be replaced with a new term. Don't say things like 'the same year, the same month, the same day'. Just listen to me!"
“If you become rich and powerful, don’t forget us” means that no matter how rich and powerful you become, you should never forget your brothers who shared the same hardships with you.
Hao Jian, Jin Peng and others were a little stunned. They had never heard of this new word before! But after listening to Li Ye's explanation, it made some sense.
But Li Ye didn't give them time to think, he just raised the bowl and said sincerely: "If you become rich, don't forget me. Drink it!"
He took a sip and broke the bowl into pieces.
"If you become rich and powerful, don't forget each other. Go!"
"Dry!"
After drinking it, Li Ye quickly dragged Jin Peng to the hospital. The cut on his hand was quite deep, and even if he didn't have tetanus, he would have a big scar.
Hao Jian wanted to go with them, but Li Ye drove him away. In the middle of winter, he had to ride forty miles on a bicycle at night.
After Hao Jian left, Li Ye asked Jin Peng in a low voice: "Brother Peng, were you doing it for me or for him?"
Jin Peng was stunned for a moment, then said seriously: "Of course I want you to understand that I am not an ungrateful person, but Hao Jian is..."
"He is a treacherous man. I discussed with him who should lead the team to Guangdong Province, but he himself dared not go even though he had the money in his pocket.
But if I go, he's afraid that I'll abandon him. Just think about it, if it weren't for my help, he wouldn't even be able to gather the raw materials for the sesame candy."
"Pfft, he got a great bargain today."
Jin Peng meant that Hao Jian had a drink with them and they became "brothers", so he got a great deal.
Li Ye smiled but said nothing. Given his current situation, Hao Jian could already be considered a "capable general". It would be a good deal if he could win him over with the title of a brother.
I took Jin Peng to the hospital to have his scar sutured and medicine applied. Before leaving, Jin Peng suddenly mentioned Wang Jianqiang.
"Pay attention on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Qiangzi's family will definitely go to pay New Year's greetings to the old man. You will be prepared then."
"What defense?"
"I asked Ma Rui to get a bicycle ticket and bought a bicycle for my wife. Qiangzi's family found out.
Qiangzi's mother pestered my mother for a long time, I guess she had some idea, Qiangzi's family... Haha."
Li Ye thought for a moment, called Wang Jianqiang over, and asked, "Qiangzi, do you know what to say when you go home today?"
Wang Jianqiang grinned: "Brother, I have nothing to say. I have been following Brother Peng to make a living for the past few months!"
"Okay, I'm not that stupid yet."
“Hehehe~”
But Jin Peng said: "Qiangzi's mother is a powerful person, Xiaoye, you should be more careful, after all, she is your elder."
"I'm not at home on New Year's Day, what else can he do to me?"
Li Ye had made up his mind that he would accompany Wen Leyu on New Year's Day and would have no time to serve any "elders".
. . . . . . . .
However, the devil is always stronger than the good. Li Ye only did his homework on the first day of the New Year, but the devil came to his house on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Li Ye was working on a manuscript in his room when he saw Wang Jianqiang, that fool, being dragged into the house by a short old woman.
"Uncle is at home! Oh, you, a big director, are hanging clothes by yourself? Sister, you are really something, how can you let your uncle do this job?"
"Hey, Xiaoyue, why is your coat so nice? Is it made of woolen cloth?"
"Why don't you see my aunt? I haven't seen my aunt for a long time. I have to have a good talk with her today."
Wang Jianqiang's mother had only been in the house for a few minutes when she became very familiar with the Li family, as if they were at home.
When Li Ye's sisters Li Juan and Li Ying heard that their mother was being scolded by outsiders, they ran to Li Ye's room and leaned on the window to look out.
As the eldest son of the family, Li Ye occupied the room with the best lighting. The windows in their rooms were dim and they could not see clearly.
"Brother, who is that old woman? She's 29 years old and she's here empty-handed. What is she doing here?"
"Qiangzi's mother is here to ask for money."
Li Ye was also upset. He came to the door empty-handed on the 29th day of the New Year. He was really stingy.
Well, he is shameless and has no good intentions.
Sure enough, after a few minutes, the old man called Li Ye over.
"Xiao Ye, is that Hao Jian your relationship? Now Qiangzi has done work for him but he can't get paid, so this matter has to fall on you."
“.”
Li Ye squinted his eyes, looking at Li Zhongfa who was speaking in an official tone, and wanted to complain a lot.
Don't you know what's going on with Hao Jian? Why don't you, Director Li, help me deal with it, and let me, Karami, take the blame?
"It is true that a classmate has a relative named Hao Jian, but I just recommended him to set up a cooperative processing household. The formalities should have been handled by my sister, right?"
Li Ye turned his gaze to his elder sister Li Yue.
Li Yue curled her lips and said, "I have so many things to do all day, how can I remember Hao Jian and Li Jian? You should help them get the money back."
Well, you all just enjoy the benefits and do nothing, right?
Li Ye was very angry.
He received a lot of royalties this year, and no one could find fault with how he spent the money, so he asked his grandmother to take the whole family on a trip to the provincial capital, and everyone bought a tweed coat and a leather coat!
Now you don’t care about anything even when there’s trouble?
Okay, just wait, there will be no money left next year.
"Ahem," Li Zhongfa winked at Li Yelian and said, "Is Hao Jian home now? Qiangzi needs at least ten yuan a month, right? How about you pay thirty or twenty yuan first and let Qiangzi take it home for the New Year?"
Li Ye didn't say anything. It turned out that everyone knew that he was a rich man, so he deserved to be slaughtered, right?
But he didn't say anything, but Wang Jianqiang's mother screamed, which scared the Li family.
"How can thirty or twenty be enough? Uncle, you don't know that Qiangzi has been out for three or four months, working day and night for others.
Jin Peng who was with him even got a Fei Ge! Why can't my Qiangzi get a Qianlima?"
Wonima, what a big lion's mouth!
Li Yue couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Auntie, temporary workers only make 18.5 yuan a month. You want a bicycle after four months? I've been working for a year and I still walk now!"
But Qiangzi's mother immediately responded: "Xiaoyue, you don't know, now the money is gone."
"Didn't Li Ye earn two or three thousand yuan for writing a book? My Qiangzi has been working on it for so long, day and night, so he must have earned several hundred yuan, right?"
"The cooperative households are all under the management of the grain system. We can't let the capitalists bully us! Well, the working people are the most glorious, right?"
“.”
Li Ye was shocked and finally understood why Li Zhongfa and his sister Li Yue refused to get involved. Isn't this a scam?
Wang Jianqiang ran away from home for four or five months. The Wang family didn't even bother to look for him. They just let him eat with Jin Peng to save food for the family.
Now that they see Jin Peng making money, they turn around and demand equal treatment.
Do grandpa and sister want a young and inexperienced person like me to take the lead and decide the outcome with a slap?
Li Ye drooped his face and said coldly: "Sixth Aunt, I don't know what kind of work Qiangzi did for others.
But he has provided food and lodging for the past few months, and even bought Qiangzi a leather jacket during the Chinese New Year. How can you call him a capitalist? "
At this point, Li Ye suddenly asked Wang Jianqiang: "Hey, Qiangzi, where is your leather jacket? Are you saving it for the first day of the new year?"
When Li Ye met Wang Jianqiang the day before yesterday, he was wearing a new leather cotton jacket, but today he changed into a tattered cotton jacket, which was obviously too small and stretched too tightly.
Wang Jianqiang shifted his butt on the bench and whispered, "That fur coat doesn't fit me, so I exchanged it with my second brother."
The Li family members couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Li Zhongfa coughed, stood up and left.
There is no way to tinker with those who are related to you.
Wang Jianqiang's mother was also a little embarrassed, but she immediately complained to Grandma Li: "Aunt, you see, every family has its own problems. When your family was in trouble before, didn't I lend you two pounds of corn flour?
Now your family has recovered, but Qiangzi's second brother is already 22 after the Chinese New Year, and he still doesn't have a wife. He doesn't have decent clothes to wear when he goes out, and he doesn't have a bicycle. Girls don't even look at him."
The runny nose and tears made Li Ye feel sick.
He had no choice but to say, "Sixth Aunt, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just afraid that Qiangzi will be cheated! A fur coat costs forty or fifty yuan!"
Then Li Ye asked Wang Jianqiang in a deep voice: "Qiangzi, did Hao Jian tell you how much wages he owes you?"
Wang Jianqiang lowered his head and said, "I don't earn as much as Brother Peng, only 180 yuan. My mother asked me to keep 20 yuan for her."
Li Ye was shocked.
It turns out that Hanhan also has his own little plans.
Not only did Wang Jianqiang conceal the 1,000 yuan share, he also hid the remaining money.
Very good, I finally understand the truth that "a man without private money has no dignity."
There is a future.
