Chapter 6 You don’t want me, you want my chicken?
When Li Long got up early the next morning, he felt that the temperature in the room was already very low. He rubbed his hands and feet, put on his clothes, walked to the stove, poked at it with a fire hook, and found that the fire in the stove had long gone out.
I was so tired after I came back last night that I didn’t refill the coal shed. Now I have to start the fire again.
Pushing the door open and going out, Li Long rubbed his hands, trotted to the coal shed, pulled a few reeds to make fire, grabbed a handful of corn cores, and hurried back with two sticks of firewood. inside the house.
In just a moment, my ears were already red from the cold.
Open the stove door, use a fire hook to clean out the ashes inside, put in reeds, lay out corn cobs, put in chopped firewood, cover the stove lid, take out your kerosene lighter, bend down and light the special firewood from the stove door. The remaining reed hairs were used to watch the fire start, and the furnace door was closed.
While he was collecting the ashes, the door was pushed open and Li Qiang walked in, rubbing his hands: "Uncle, my mother called you to wash your face and prepare for dinner."
< br>"What kind of rice?" Li Long asked while picking up the ashes.
“Baogu batter, pickles, corn flour pancakes, and yes, steamed buns!” Li Qiang’s eyes were bright.
"Very good." Li Long said with a smile.
"No, I still want to eat meat." Li Qiang whispered, "My sister won't let me say it. In fact, I know that she also wants to..."
"Then let's eat for lunch. Meat." Li Long carried the ashes in a dustpan and said as he walked: "Is it good?"
< br>"Okay! Uncle, what kind of meat do you want to eat?" Li Qiang raised his head and asked with bright eyes, "Should I still eat old bird meat? It's delicious, but there's too little meat."
"Quagua Chicken" "Li Long touched Li Qiang's head and said, "Don't worry, let's have breakfast first."
"What is a croak chicken? My mother won't let the chickens at home be slaughtered because they will lay eggs next year."
"It's not from home." Li Long went out to pour out the ashes, put a dustpan at the door, and took the He followed Li Qiang into the west room.
The steam from the cooking water made the outside kitchen a little damp. Liang Yuemei was frying pickles. When she saw Li Long coming in, she stir-fried and said:
"Xiaolong, wash your face quickly and get ready to eat. "Yes."
"Okay." Li Long responded and went to the washbasin in the corner. He saw that it contained fresh water and washed it in a hurry.
Li Qiang had already ran into his and Li Juan's room and said loudly to his sister:
"Sister, uncle said we should eat guagua chicken for lunch!"
"What?" Li Juan was cleaning up her and Li Qiang's pillow and quilt didn't hear clearly.
But Li Jianguo outside heard it and scolded:
"What are you going to eat croaking chicken? Where can I catch croaking chicken now?"
Li Qiang felt aggrieved and walked to Li Jianguo and said stubbornly:
"My uncle said it. My uncle said we should eat guagua chicken for lunch."
Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei both looked at Li Long .
"I caught a few last night." Li Long pointed outside, "Put them in the snow. I plan to pluck them after breakfast later."
"A few One?" Li Jianguo looked surprised, he knew very well what his brother was like. Not to mention catching the croaking chicken, even if he was slaughtering the chicken at home, he would not come forward to help. What kind of possession is this?
"Five." Li Long stretched out his hand proudly and gestured with his five fingers.
“Let’s go and have a look!” Li Jianguo didn’t believe it.
"I want to go see it too!" Li Qiang shouted loudly, and then followed Li Long.
Li Juan remained silent but followed.
Liang Yuemei also wanted to follow, but there was food in the pot, so she had to listen.
Li Long walked to the snowdrift at the wall of the yard, used a wooden shovel to remove the snow shell, and pulled it twice, revealing the croaking chickens inside.
"One, two, three...five! Sister, there are really five!" Li Qiang watched Li Long place the croaking chickens one by one and counted them happily.
"Okay, okay, stop talking." Li Jianguo glared at him and whispered to Li Long:
"Xiaolong, where did you catch him?" "Over there in the field." Li Long pointed to the east, and just as he was about to give details, there were footsteps and dog barking outside.
When Li Long wanted to put the croaking chicken up as soon as possible, it was already too late.
A girl appeared at the gate.
Li Long glanced at it but said nothing.
Li Jianguo smiled and took the initiative to say hello:
"Shufen is here?"
Wu Shufen didn't expect that the two brothers Li Jianguo and Li Long, plus the two children, were outside the house, and she was stunned for a moment.
When I saw the croaking chickens at Li Long's feet again, I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
I was thinking about it for a long time on the road, preparing what I wanted to say, but I couldn’t say it at this time.
Hearing Li Jianguo's greeting, Wu Shufen looked slightly flustered. She didn't know what to say.
Looking at the croaking chicken, Wu Shufen thought to herself that if she wanted to break up, it could actually be a day or two later.
To be honest, Wu Shufen is quite beautiful. Although he is now wearing a large flower cotton-padded jacket, his cotton trousers have obviously been changed to be slim-fitting. His feet are also fashionable cotton rubber shoes, and the flowered headscarf on his head is also very fashionable - Li Long also fell in love with this beautiful face at the time, as well as his ability to Dress her up.
Unfortunately, I didn’t see clearly at that time that behind this beautiful face, there was a desire to despise the poor and love the rich.
Li Jianguo saw Wu Shufen staring closely at the croaking chicken, thinking that this was the target of his younger brother, so he smiled and said:
"Um...Shufen, look, this croaking chicken is Xiaolong was caught yesterday Otherwise..."
"Brother," Li Long knew what Li Jianguo was thinking as soon as he heard it, and immediately interrupted him, glanced at Wu Shufen, and then continued:
"Brother, wait for me to ask you a few words."
Li Jianguo knew that Li Long and Wu Shufen were the two people to talk to, and his younger brother was in a weak position. After all, Wu Shufen is good-looking and has many people pursuing her. Now that his younger brother suddenly took the initiative, he thought it was pretty good, so he said:
"Just ask."
Then he turned to Li Juan and Li Qiang and said:
" You two go inside quickly.”
Then he turned around and walked back into the house.
When the two people you are talking to talk to each other, it is better to listen less.
But Li Long didn't care whether others were there or not. He asked Wu Shufen directly:
"Did you hear from Gu Ermao that I was fired, so you came here to break up with me?"
What? separate?
Li Jianguo suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at Li Long unexpectedly, and then looked at Wu Shufen.
Wu Shufen did not expect that Li Long would be the first to speak out about this topic, and she immediately fell into passivity.
But you must break up. She was worried that Li Long would say something unpleasant, so she hurriedly said:
"Yes, let's break up. You have been fired, so you must have done nothing good! The person we are talking about is you. I pursued you. I thought you were sincere and had a future, but I didn’t expect you to have such a bad character. Being expelled will have a lifelong impact. I don’t want to be... implicated in the future..."
Having said this, Wu Shufen did not continue.
She knew Li Long's temper, vanity, and good face. Let's break it up, but it's a pity that the chickens - if they hadn't broken up, Li Long would definitely give himself two or even three chickens.
Maybe he would give himself a chicken directly in order to redeem himself? Do you want it yourself?
Li Long knew what the girl was thinking by looking at her expression.
You can break up with me if you want, but want to eat my chicken?
No way!
