Chapter 4: Li Jianbo


It's been more than two days since I came to this era, and Li Wei is still full of curiosity about this strange era. In these two days, she gradually figured out one thing.
The one that illuminates at night is an electric light, the one that can make various sounds is called a radio, and the one that Li Minghua and his son ride is called a bicycle. The small stick used for cooking and lighting is called a match, and the powder used to wash clothes is called washing powder.
In the past two days, Liu Chunzhi was sympathetic to her daughter's weakness, and after experiencing ups and downs, she didn't let her do anything, so she stayed at home obediently and was not allowed to go anywhere.
In fact, Li Wei didn't go anywhere, she was lying on the table ruthlessly, listening to the gentle music flowing from the radio quietly. At this time, a male voice with a little bit of vicissitudes and hoarseness sang thousands of times: "With your black eyes and your smiling face, it is hard to forget the change in your appearance. The light and flirty old days just slip away. , Turning around and looking back to see that it has been a few years in a hurry..."
This unique singing resonated with Li Wei at this moment. Recalling that he was a carefree teenager in Shangshufu, and was selected into the palace when he was fourteen years old. Since then, he has never returned home to take a look. When she looked back, she was only over twenty years old, and she was already a widow in a deep palace. Looking back to imagine, it really has been a few years in a hurry. Could she really not go back to the old days?
While Li Wei was feeling sorrowful, he suddenly heard someone say: "I'm back!"
Li Wei only then raised his head and took a look, but saw that a teenager stood outside the door for some unknown time. The teenager also had short hair that was barely close to the ear. The gray coat had been opened, revealing the dark blue sweater inside. The boy carried a schoolbag on his back and carried a net bag in his hand. There was an enamel tank in the net bag. He has a handsome appearance, guess he is only fifteen or six years old, and he is the second son of the family.
Li Wei remembered what Liu Chunzhi had said to her before she left, and she stood up and said, "You are back, and I have left you food, I will bring it."
Li Jianbo agreed, put down his schoolbag, took out the books in the schoolbag, and sat upright at the table to do his homework.
Li Wei had already stepped over the threshold, but suddenly turned around and glanced back. The young man was working hard.
"Be busy after eating." After Li Wei finished putting the food, he turned and went to another room.
Only then did Li Jianbo lift his head from the heavy workload, and quickly grabbed the food in the bowl. It didn't take long for Li Wei to come out, but seeing that the bowl was empty, she cleaned up the dishes without saying a word, and did not disturb Li Jianbo who was working hard.
Seeing that it was almost time, Li Wei released the chickens from the pen, put the rice bran mixed with grass in a large wooden basin, and the chickens quickly gathered around.
At this time, someone called her outside the fence: "Wei Wei!"
Li Wei got up and looked up. There was a little girl standing outside the fence, she was about the same age as her, dressed in natural yellow clothes with two pigtails, she was the original girlfriend, Wang Yulan. Are you here to play with her?
Li Wei hesitated to open the door to Wang Hongmei. Wang Hongmei came in and asked, "Is your family alone?"
Liu Chunzhi went to work in the fields, and Li Minghua and his sons went to the brick and tile factory in the town to help. She was the only one left. Oh, no, there is a young man working hard in the house. She said: "The students are back."
Wang Yulan smiled and said: "I have forgotten that today is Saturday. Go to your room and talk."
Two sisters of the same age entered the room. Wang Yulan sat on Li Wei’s bed familiarly. Li Wei felt a little strange, and said to Wang Yulan, "You sit on a stool."
Wang Yulan took the initiative to sit on the stool and said, "I heard you don't study?"
Li Wei nodded.
Wang Yulan looked at Li Wei in surprise, as if it was not a big deal, and smiled: "It’s not a big deal, don’t read it if you don’t read it. I’m not at home, so I can just be company. We will go to mow pig grass together tomorrow. Go up the mountain together to find firewood. It's still the same as before. Don't have any burdens."
Wang Yulan was also kind. Li Wei took her affection and nodded, "Okay."
"We are all friends anyway. But what the is going on with you this time? It's a bit unpleasant to hear from the outside, what are you going to tell me?"
What's the matter? Li Wei couldn't answer very much, and she asked, "What is going on outside?"
Wang Yulan opened her mouth and came: "Some people say that you were caught by the teacher when you were secretly together with that boy, others said that you had a fight with that boy, and others said..." Wang Yulan paused when she said that. Obviously there are more ugly words.
"It's just that, the past is over, why are you still mentioning it." Li Wei thought of this sentence and perfunct Wang Yulan.
Fortunately, Wang Yulan didn't get to the bottom of the question any more, and smiled: "Then don't mention it. I don't believe what those people say, so don't take it too seriously. You still have to live this life."
Of course, she has to live on. She can't return to Daqi now, so she has to temporarily replace the original body and live well.
Wang Yulan sat there for a while, and saw that the sky was getting dark and went back soon.
After Liu Chunzhi came back, Li Wei went out to help, and it was Li Wei's job to cook the fire. She is the queen mother, she has never done these awkward tasks, and she seems very clumsy. Later, Liu Chunzhi couldn't stand it anymore, holding back his anger and complaining: "What can I expect from you, even if I don't know how to start a fire."
Liu Chunzhi snatched the match in Li Wei's hand, pinched the stick and lightly stroked the black strip. The fire was lit in an instant, and then the firewood in the stove was ignited.
Here Li Jianbo has finished writing the last exercise, his neck is a bit tingling. He stretched long and stretched out.
He heard the car bell ring and knew that Dad and Brother were back. Li Jianbo took the book back into his bag and put it back in his room.
In fact, it's not his own room. There are not many rooms in the house. He is squeezing a room with his eldest brother. Parents said that if they want to save money to renovate the house, they have to build a few more rooms. After all, the eldest brother is about to get married, and he needs to have his own space.
Li Jianbo put his schoolbag away and went out.
"Where is Jianbo coming back?"
Li Jianbo agreed and shouted: "Dad! Brother!"
After dinner and no other activities, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. Only Li Jianping is still playing the radio.
"Are you going to take an exam? I thought you won't be back this week."
Li Jianbo said: "I don't have any money, and I have finished eating rice. I have to come back no matter what."
"Well, take the test, brat!" Li Jianping gave Li Jianbo a soft punch. Li Jianping was a when he was studying. He only knew how to play all day long. He couldn't sit still. He barely wanted to go to school in the fourth grade.
"Is everything okay at home?" Li Jianbo asked flatly.
Li Jianping had to talk to Jianbo about his sister, and said to him, "Fortunately, you called the brick and tile factory that day in Laba, and I went home to take a look, otherwise our sister...Jianbo, thanks to about you."
