I'm going to take Yuan Shanmei home!
Liu Zhi was so excited all night that she couldn't sleep at all. Early the next morning, before the rooster crowed, Liu Zhi got up, got on her permanent bicycle, and rode to her parents' home happily.
I haven’t seen her for a few days, and I don’t know how the little girl is doing, whether she has lost weight or gained weight. Thinking of this, Liu Zhi pedaled the bicycle with even more strength.
When she arrived at her parents' house, the children hadn't gotten up yet, and her sister was still cooking breakfast in the kitchen.
Liu Zhi gently touched the bottom of the kitchen window and suddenly jumped up, "Good morning, sister!"
Liu He was so frightened that the spoon in his hand almost flew out.
"Why are you here so early today?" Liu He quickly regained his composure.
Look, this is her sister. Her mood is terrifyingly stable. Except for the last time when she was so angry, she has almost never lost her temper with Liu Zhi. But correspondingly, once she gets angry, it is very difficult to coax her.
Liu Zhirao went into the kitchen, broke off a small piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, "I'll pick up Shanmei. By the way, my new house is all ready, and I'm going to treat the people on the team to a meal. Come Come with your parents, brothers and sisters.”
Liu He continued what he was doing, "Is the money enough?"
Liu Zhi was a little moved and nodded, "Your sister is very rich!"
After a while, the whole family got up. Everyone was surprised to see Liu Zhi coming. After all, their little daughter was synonymous with being lazy and lazy in their minds. They had never seen her get up so early.
Hu Yuping walked over happily and said, "Girl Shanmei will be up soon. Will you go and see her?"
Liu Zhi followed her mother into her eldest brother's house. Today is the weekend, and Zhengzheng from the third brother's house has also returned. The four children are sleeping side by side. Yuan Shanmei is sleeping best, huddled in the corner alone. inside. The others were sleeping unsteadily, Zhengzheng was the most exaggerated, his head had been changed, and his mouth was just a little away from Xiaogang's little smelly feet.
Liu Zhi took a chair and sat down by the bed, quietly admiring Yuan Shanmei's sleeping face. It turned out that children also snore, and the sound was not loud, which seemed a bit funny.
Nizi woke up first, and when she saw her sister-in-law, she was very happy and wanted to say hello to her.
Liu Zhi pointed her finger at her and made a "shhh" gesture. Nizi understood and got off the bed lightly. She leaned into Liu Zhi's ear and whispered, "Sister-in-law, you are here. Shanmei misses you every day." , Shanmei and I are already planning to escape from the school to find you.”
Liu Zhi touched Nizi's little face and said, "Thank you Nizi, you have worked hard to take care of Shanmei during this time."
Nizi rubbed her hair and said, "Hey, it's okay. I also like Shanmei very much."
Xiaogang, who was closest to the two, also woke up and sat on the bed in a daze. He moved his foot and kicked Zhengzheng in the face.
Zhengzheng was kicked in his sleep and was startled. When he woke up, he saw Xiaogang's stinky feet, and the two soon struggled together.
Yuan Shanmei was finally woken up by the two of them. She was about to break up the fight as usual, but when she glanced out of the corner of her eye, she found that Aunt Liu Zhi, whom she had longed for, was sitting beside the bed. Yuan Shanmei rubbed her eyes again, thinking that she had seen it wrong.
"Aunt Liu Zhi?" She called out uncertainly.
"Hey - good morning!" Liu Zhi replied with a smile.
Yuan Shanmei jumped up from the bed, shouted and threw herself into Liu Zhi's arms, "Aunt Liu Zhi, you are finally here! Hahahahahaha I'm so happy!"
Xiaogang and Zhengzheng were startled by the always steady sister Shanmei, and they stopped fighting and stared blankly at Yuan Shanmei acting coquettishly in her sister-in-law's arms.
Liu Zhi stroked Yuan Shanmei's hair gently, "Well, I'm here. I'm here to take you home."
The little girl was so excited that her tears suddenly rolled into Liu Zhi's clothes, which were itchy and cold. Liu Zhi picked her up and carefully wiped away her tears, "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore. Get up quickly and let's have breakfast." Go!”
When Yuan Shanmei was getting dressed, she glanced at Liu Zhi from time to time. Her clothes were crooked and her trousers had the wrong openings. Liu Zhi was amused and said, "Concentrate on putting on your trousers. Auntie is waiting for you here. You are not going anywhere."
Several children were dressed, and Liu Zhi led them to have breakfast. The Liu family's breakfast was one of the few in the production team and was very rich. It included sweet potatoes, potatoes, white flour steamed buns, and a bowl of porridge. Every child could be full. , so the children of the Liu family are considered very high in the production team.
Because Yuan Shanmei was abused in her early years, she is not as tall as Zheng Zheng now. Although Liu Zhi knows that her mother will not be short in the future, she still can't help but want her to eat more and eat more.
Liu Zhi stayed at her parents' house for a long time and watched the children play very harmoniously. Since Yuan Shanmei was added to the family, there were more games to play, such as 2-on-2 tug-of-war, rubber bands at home, and eagle-catching children. Chicken, Zhengzheng was not very willing to go back to his grandfather's house in the past. After he had more playmates, he would drag his parents back to his grandfather's house on weekends.
The third sister-in-law smiled and told Liu Zhi, "This little troublemaker of mine spends his dreams playing with Nizi Shanmei and the others at night."
Hu Yuping also said, "Don't tell me, I'm really reluctant to stay with the little girl for so long. Otherwise, why don't you let her stay with her for a while longer?"
Liu Zhi acted coquettishly with her mother, "You are reluctant to let go, but I am even more reluctant to let go. Besides, I will sleep alone at night, and I will not have to ask Shanmei to give me courage."
Hu Yuping was helpless, "Then you come back a few times when you have time, and I will make delicious food for you two." "I know, Mom, I will definitely come back more often to eat and drink!"
After lunch, Liu Zhi took Yuan Shanmei to leave, and the children couldn't stop crying.
Nizi pulled the corner of Yuan Shanmei's clothes and said, "Shanmei, please don't leave. I'll give you my favorite doll to play with, okay?"
Xiaogang and Zhengzheng also echoed, "We will give you all the marbles."
Yuan Shanmei, a little virgin, could not bear such a scene. She missed Aunt Liu Zhi very much, but she could not bear to leave her little friend who had played with her for so many days. She pursed her lips and looked at Liu Zhi, not knowing what to do.
Liu Zhi was a little amused, and touched the children's heads one by one, "Shanmei and I have important things to do when we go back. Besides, you will see each other soon. My sister-in-law is going to hold a banquet to invite people to dinner. Then you all will Come, sleep with Shanmei at my house for as long as you want, okay?”
Only then did a few people stop crying. Nizi was a big child after all. She cautiously extended her little finger and said, "Sister-in-law, you can't lie. Let's pull the hook."
"Hang yourself with a hook and you won't be allowed to change for a hundred years. If you lie to others, you will be like a puppy. When you grow up, you will be beheaded!" Liu Zhi solemnly "stamped" it with several children, and then they let go.
"Shanmei - I'll come back and play with you next time!" Nizi still shouted from behind after walking a long way.
Liu Zhi took Yuan Shanmei's hand and asked her to grab the clothes around her waist, "Nizi and the others like you so much."
Yuan Shanmei grinned secretly, "I didn't expect Nizi to like me so much. It feels so good to have a sister!" After that, she thought of her sisters in her family and couldn't help but sigh.
"Sister Jin Xiu is nice to me, but she only asks me for food and never gives me her stuff. Sister Wen Yan doesn't take me with her when we go out to play. Shan Ling, she makes me do this every time she sees me. Then, it's like I'm a permanent worker." Yuan Shanmei pointed her fingers and talked about the things her sisters did in the past.
"It's okay, they will no longer be your sisters. Nizi is your sister, Xiaogang and Zhengzheng are your brothers. You just have to have fun."
Yuan Shanmei nodded, "Yeah!"
Liu Zhi took Yuan Shanmei to their new home. In order to welcome the little girl, she took apart one of her clothes and asked Yuan Meilian to make a rag doll, which she placed on Yuan Shanmei's little bed.
The quilts and pillows on the bed are all new, and there is a large desk by the window with a small pot of wild flowers on it, which Liu Zhi dug back from the mountains. There was a bead curtain hanging on the door, which made a tinkling sound when the wind blew. Yuan Shanmei walked in and saw that the curtains were actually snail shells, painted red with leftover carpentry paint.
Yuan Shanmei liked it so much that she looked at Liu Zhi with burning eyes, "Aunt Liu Zhi, did you do this?"
Liu Zhi blushed a little and just hoped that these few years would pass quickly. She had a huge wealth but couldn't spend it, so she had to use her own rudimentary skills to make a homemade bead curtain, otherwise she would have to buy the most dazzling one!
"Then can I invite my friends to visit?"
Liu Zhi nodded, "Of course, this is your room, the decision is in your hands."
Yuan Shanmei jumped up and clapped her hands happily, "Great, great! Aunt Liu Zhi, you are so great!"
"I'm going out to buy some things later. Do you want to go with me or play with your friends?"
Liu Zhi didn't want to force the little girl, but Yuan Shanmei chose to go shopping with her without hesitation.
Tsk, is this a caring little cotton-padded jacket? Liu Zhi brushed the child's hair and said, "Let's go!"
Liu Zhi plans to hold a banquet the day after tomorrow. Today she will buy some food, and tomorrow she will prepare the materials and then invite people to the banquet. Time is tight and the task is heavy, so she must seize the time.
She ordered ten kilograms of meat from the hunter of the production team, and went to Yang Xiaojie's house to order a few jars of wine. The other ingredients were all ready-made, and the fish were caught in advance by a young man in the team who knew how to swim and had been raised in a basin. , go pick some vegetables from the fields, and the dishes will be almost ready.
Liu Zhi planned to make a plate of braised pork, a plate of fried pork with chili pepper, a fish, a plate of snails, a few vegetables and peanuts for each table to make twelve dishes, which was decent even without showing off her wealth.
After preparing these, Liu Zhi went to the captain's and Chen Chunhua's home to invite them over for dinner, and arranged to borrow their tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks.
In this era without cellphones, Liu Zhi had to notify every household to invite someone to dinner. Fortunately, those in the same brigade could just cycle all the way there.
When Liu Zhi went to the educated youth spot to invite, she saw He Xiuyuan again. She invited him to her home for dinner very officially, and never gave him a look again.
Watching Liu Zhiyan talking to other educated youths with a smile, He Xiuyuan finally understood the depression in his heart after seeing Liu Zhi during this period.
Something called jealousy.
