Li Wei didn't go out to fight for the remote control with her father. She was playing with the radio in her room at the moment.
The radio was bought in the 1980s. It has been going strong for so many years, and it seems that it is about to reach the end of its life.
The sizzling sound of electricity has drowned out the sound of the program, and no matter how Li Wei adjusts the antenna, it doesn't help.
If my second brother were here, would he be able to help with the repairs? Li Wei fiddled with it for a long time and finally gave up. She found a cassette tape and put it in her walkman, while she lay on the bed and read. The door was ajar, and the sound of father and son's conversation in the living room mixed with the sound of TV programs could be heard from time to time.
Li Wei was listening to music and flipping through a fashion magazine. Not long after, Liu Chunzhi opened the door and came in. Naturally, Li Wei couldn't lie down any longer and hurriedly got off the ground.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Chunzhi was knitting a bright red sweater, and she didn't know who it was for. She sat down on a chair by the window, hoping to have a good chat with Li Wei.
Li Wei turned down the music on his Walkman and was prepared to listen to his mother's nagging.
Sure enough, Liu Chunzhi said as soon as she sat down: "We, mother and daughter, haven't had a good conversation for a long time. It's time to talk."
"Well, the store is closed, and Mom also has a lot of time, so let's take this opportunity to take good care of her health." According to her second brother, this mother had died of illness long ago in his previous life. Now it looks like Liu Chunzhi seemed to be in good health when she went up, but Li Minghua looked sickly.
Seeing her daughter say this, Liu Chunzhi took advantage of the situation and said: "What are you raising? You're not that old. You can move your hands and feet, so why don't you just sit at home and eat white rice every day? Your dad and I told him to wait until the new year and the beginning of spring to go back and take care of the things at home." If you plant the land, you will get some kind of harvest.”
Since opening a snack bar, the couple has not farmed for several years, and now they bring it up again. Li Wei frowned and said, "You guys really can't take any time off. My eldest brother also said that he wants to open a hotel. Why don't you stay and help him? It's better for a family to take care of each other."
"I don't know when his hotel will open yet. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until you graduate from college to find out."
Li Wei said: "It won't take that long." When Li Wei heard his father's cough, he couldn't help but be concerned: "How is Dad's illness?"
"They say he has air bubbles in his lungs and he needs to quit smoking, but do you think he can quit smoking in this condition? I don't understand, and I won't listen no matter how many times I tell him."
Problems with the internal organs are definitely not serious.
"No matter what, you can't joke about your health. I'm not at home, and my eldest brother is also busy with other things. I can only ask my mother to take care of me and take care of my father. Pay attention to your diet, and go to the hospital if you feel uncomfortable." After all, the medical technology of this era is relatively large. Qi was much stronger. At that time, even those who were enshrined in the Imperial Hospital were helpless when encountering some difficult and complicated diseases. In this era, we can use more advanced medical equipment, and if it is not possible, we can still perform surgery.
"You also know your father's temper. He is just stubborn."
The mother and daughter talked about Li Minghua's condition for a while, and then Liu Chunzhi brought the topic to Li Jianping.
"I used to always say that I interfered with his personal issues, but I am his mother. I don't care about him. Who cares about him? I am also afraid that he will be annoyed. In the past two years, I have not cared about him much. I can do whatever I like. . Your eldest brother said he wants to open a hotel, but the family doesn’t have enough money, so he wants a loan. Once he gets into debt, he won’t be able to sleep well. "Liu Chunzhi has an honest character and is most afraid of owing people things.
Li smiled and said: "It is difficult to have capital turnover. What can we do if we don't borrow money? We will pay it back when we make a profit. Mom won't worry about this anymore. Let the eldest brother carry the burden of the family. He is the eldest son and should support him." This is home.”
The daughter said it easily, but Liu Chunzhi could not worry about it. But if you really have to worry about it, there is really no end in sight.
She took a look at her daughter. She didn't come back from summer vacation, but she had become much fairer. Now that I have had my hair cut again, I look energetic and energetic. In the blink of an eye, my daughter has become a big girl. Big girl... Liu Chunzhi's heart moved and she quickly asked: "On your birthday, I seemed to hear a boyfriend or something. Let me ask you, did you really have a boyfriend in school?"
Li Wei was stunned for a moment before she understood what was going on. She smiled and said, "No, absolutely not. Mom, don't guess."
"Although we are far apart now and I can't control you, you must respect yourself and love yourself. Girls cannot be coaxed away or looked down upon by others with just a few nice words. When you were in junior high school, you almost Now that I have reached a dead end, I am still very worried about you. Weiwei, don’t find these words annoying or harsh. They are all for your own good. The development of this era makes it difficult to see the messy people in society. There are too many, I hope you can keep your eyes open at any time and don't get confused and fall into bed with someone easily. It will be too late to regret it. "
This conversation was the serious matter Liu Chunzhi wanted to talk to Li Wei, and the words were a bit blunt and harsh. Li Wei understood her mother's intention. She nodded silently and said, "Mom, don't worry. I know what I want. I may have been confused before, but I won't be confused anymore. I want to live well, here. Find your place and the value of your existence.”
As my daughter grows up, she has more things to worry about. I'm afraid that I might attract a hungry wolf if I'm not careful. Liu Chunzhi is just an ordinary rural woman. She has gained a little experience living in the city in the past few years. In the past, she had always heard Sister Zhang telling her that some female student didn't study well and followed the young men in the society. Later, she had a child in her belly, but she didn't dare to give birth, so she secretly bought medicine to have an abortion, which almost killed her.
The county is not a particularly big one. Once word spreads about someone’s family’s affairs, it won’t take even half a month for most of the county to know about it. Liu Chunzhi didn't think much of her daughter before, but now she has to pay attention to her. She is worried that Li Wei will go astray and regret it later, so she has to beat her from time to time.
Liu Chunzhi saw that her daughter's attitude was quite good, so she stopped talking about it.
"Your brother knows someone from the county TV station. I'm still thinking about whether I should take advantage of the Chinese New Year to pay him a visit at home and walk around. It will be very convenient in the future."
Mother starts to worry about her job, so will she stay at her hometown TV station? Li Wei felt a little unwilling again, and besides, it was difficult to repay a debt of gratitude. She thought for a while, and Fang solemnly replied: "Mom, it's too early to talk about work, but you don't have to worry about me. I'd better leave the money to my eldest brother to develop his career. I want to rely on my own efforts."
It is a good thing for a daughter to make progress, but in today’s society everything is about relationships and connections. Liu Chunzhi is afraid that her daughter will run into obstacles everywhere.
