In a blink of an eye, it was the National Day, plus the weekend, a total of two and a half days. After class at noon on the 29th, nothing happened. Li Wei went back home, changed clothes, took pocket money, and said hello to her uncle before going out: "I will be back in the afternoon on the 1st."
Li Ming State Road: "Okay, be careful on the road. There are many people in the car, don't be crowded, and keep your money and everything safe."
"Well, I see." Li Wei desperately wanted to see his parents and brothers.
She was an uncle goodbye, and rushed to the street to take a car. When she passed the village entrance, she just saw Li Xia and another girl from the same village came back. She didn't think too much, but gave Li Xia a big smile and said goodbye to her. : "Sister, I went into town."
Li Xia said indifferently, not caring at all.
Li Wei stood by the side of the road and waited for the car to enter the city, and finally waited for one. It was already full of people, and Li Wei could no longer squeeze in, so he had to wait.
Waiting was irritating, she was somewhat boring, until someone next to her said: "Li Wei, are you going into the city too?"
Li Wei turned her head and saw that it was Zhou Bin. She indifferently agreed: "Yes."
"It's a coincidence, we happen to be on the same road."
Facing Zhou Bin's approach, Li Wei felt a little embarrassed, she even moved aside subconsciously, widening the distance between the two.
Finally waited for a car. This time the car was not so crowded. Li Wei got on the car first and found a place by the window to sit down. Zhou Bin also followed up. Seeing Li Wei next to him, he sat down without thinking. .
Li Wei turned his head and looked out the window hard. Xindao is not out of place, sitting next to her is nothing.
"Are you going to take the high school entrance exam?" Zhou Bin tried his best to find something to say.
Li Wei looked cold and ignored.
"I want to take the exam, too, but my family says that I won't be allowed to take it. They said that after two years, I will be allowed to serve as a soldier when I am 18 years old."
"Oh." Li Wei agreed vaguely. After several rides in the car, although the symptoms of motion sickness have alleviated a bit, I still feel less comfortable. Li Wei was blowing in the wind, and all she thought about was family affairs.
Although it was only half an hour's drive, it took as fast as 50 minutes to stop and go all the way. Zhou Bin sensed Li Wei's indifference, so he didn't take the initiative to find something to say, and there was more silence between the two. Everyone got off until the car came in.
Zhou Bin went down first and hurriedly turned around and asked Li Wei, "Where are you going?"
Li Wei had already seen the second brother who came to pick her up, and said, "My brother is here." As he said, he strode towards Li Jianbo and left Zhou Bin there.
Is that person in the picture? Li Jianbo had good eyesight, and he recognized it at a glance.
"Second brother, what to do, let's go." Li sat on the back seat slightly neatly. Li Jianbo came back to his senses and said, "You sit firmly."
Li Jianbo wore a white shirt, and the oncoming wind stirred the white shirt, and rushed straight on Li Wei's face, smelling of clean soap. Li Wei held Li Jianbo's clothes tightly and did not relax for a moment.
Li Jianbo's bike was very skillful, and he was able to shuttle freely in the streets and lanes, giving off a crisp ringtone. I don’t know which store’s stereo is singing "Sweet Honey".
Turning around, the car finally stopped in front of a shop. It was not a meal at this time, and they did not sell dinner, so the shop had already been packed out. Li Jianping was busy wiping the tables and chairs with warm water. A pot of chopsticks is boiling in the big iron pot. Seeing them coming back, he smiled and said, "Here, it's pretty fast."
Li Wei jumped out of the car and exclaimed happily, "Big Brother!"
Li Jianping smiled and continued to work hard.
Li Wei asked, "Where are my parents?"
"They went shopping for groceries."
Li Jianbo uncovered a basket on the stove, which contained white and fat buns. He took two of them and handed one to Li Wei. Li Wei was not hungry, but at this moment, he felt that the steamed bun was full of fragrance, all tempting her appetite, so she opened her mouth and took a bite. It was a salty sprout packet with a familiar taste. She ate very contentedly.
Not long after, Li Minghua and his wife came back and brought back a lot of vegetables. Li Wei rushed up to help take down two bundles of green onions. There were still a lot of meat, mushrooms, killed chickens and ducks, and a large bag of bones. It's all shoulder blades and stick bones that nobody wants.
This shop is not very big, it has only one facade and six tables. In front of the shop are several large stoves of briquettes. The fire on the stove has almost gone out. There is a compartment behind the shop with a double-layer iron canopy bed with sheets on top and bottom. The remaining half of the place was filled with various debris. Rice, noodles, oil, all kinds of seasonings. Li Jianping and their clothes were stuffed in a large wooden box under the bed.
The house, which was already cramped, was stuffed with so many things, and it was a bit difficult to fit in. Li Wei looked at this environment, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Tonight, I will follow Jianbo to his dormitory for the night. You and mom sleep underneath, and dad sleeps on top. Squeeze it a little bit. Just stick to two nights."
Li Wei's nose was a little sour, and he nodded and said, "Okay."
It was rare that Jianbo and Li Wei came, and the family was reunited. Li Minghua added coal to the stove again, and Liu Chunzhi washed the pot, intending to show off his cooking skills. After a while, the fragrance of the vegetables drifted out.
Li Wei sat at the table behind doing his homework, and asked Li Jianbo if he didn't understand.
Li Jianping was peeling garlic at another table, and Li Jianbo was also helping.
"Isn't Liu Liang coming over, why don't you see him?"
Seeing that his mother hadn't noticed them while cooking, Li Jianping whispered to Jianbo: "Don't mention this person. It's a trouble. After two days, I helped with all the tasks. I even felt like cleaning the table. Tired, Dad scolded him when he couldn't bear it, and he left. The two of them were still angry about this. You don't want to talk to them."
"Oh, let's go. Now the shop is not big, and he can't fit in him. When it gets bigger in the future, maybe it will be stuffed in again. As long as it doesn't cause trouble, it's fine for uncle's sake. "
"It's too early to say this."
After a while, the food was on the table. Not to mention that Li Wei did not eat well at her uncle's house during the past month, so he missed Liu Chunzhi's cooking even more. Looking at the braised pork and braised seaweed soup in front of me, I suddenly felt that it was no different from Chinese New Year. She ate exceptionally sweet.
"You slow down and choke carefully. Your aunt doesn't feed you enough usually?" Liu Chunzhi was a little funny and sad when she saw her daughter gorging himself.
Li Wei said: "You can still be full if you are full." As for eating well, it is completely impossible.
