Having been in this era for more than two days, Li Wei is still full of curiosity about this strange era. Over the past two days, she has gradually figured out one thing.
The one that lights up at night is the electric light, the one that can make various sounds is called the radio, and the one that Li Minghua and his son ride is called a bicycle. The small wooden stick used to make a fire for cooking is called a match, and the powder used for washing clothes is called washing powder.
In the past two days, Liu Chunzhi was considerate of her daughter's physical weakness and had gone through many twists and turns, so she didn't let her do anything. She told her to stay at home and not go anywhere.
In fact, Li Wei didn't go anywhere. She lay facelessly on the table, quietly listening to the gentle music playing from the radio. At this time, a slightly aged and hoarse male voice sang over and over again: "With your dark eyes and your smiling face, it's hard to forget the change in your appearance. The old days are just slipping away." , turn around and look back to see how many years have passed..."
This unique chant resonated with Li Wei at this moment. He recalled that he had grown up for more than ten years without any worries in the Shangshu Mansion. He was elected to the palace when he was fourteen years old, and he never went home again. Looking back, she was only over twenty, and she was already a widowed woman guarding a deep palace. Looking back, I realize that years have passed by in a hurry. Could it be that she really couldn't go back to the old days
When Li Wei was feeling pregnant, he suddenly heard someone saying: "I'm back!"
Li Wei then looked up and saw a young man standing outside the door. The young man also had short hair that barely reached his ears. His gray coat had been opened, revealing the dark blue sweater underneath. The young man had a schoolbag on his back and a net bag in his hand. There was an enamel jar in the net bag. With his delicate features, I guess he is no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is the second son of the family.
Li Wei remembered what Liu Chunzhi said to her before leaving, so she stood up and said, "You are back. I have left some food for you. I will bring it to you."
Li Jianbo agreed, put down his schoolbag, took out the books in his schoolbag, and then sat upright at the table to do his homework.
Li Wei had already stepped over the threshold, but suddenly looked back and saw that the young man was working hard without any distractions.
"Eat and then get busy." After saying this, Li Wei put the food away, turned around and went to another room.
Li Jianbo then raised his head from his heavy schoolwork and quickly picked up the food in the bowl. It didn't take long for Li Wei to come out, but she saw that the bowl was empty. She put away the bowl and chopsticks without saying anything, and did not disturb Li Jianbo who was studying.
Seeing that it was almost time, Li Wei released the chickens from the pen and put the rice bran mixed with grass that had been prepared in a large wooden basin. The chickens quickly gathered around.
At this time, someone called her from outside the fence: "Wei Wei!"
Li Wei stood up and looked up. There was a little girl standing outside the fence. She was about the same age as her. She was wearing earthy yellow clothes and had two pigtails. She was her best friend, Wang Yulan. Are you here to play with her
Li Wei opened the door to Wang Yulan hesitantly. Wang Yulan came in and asked, "You are the only one in your family?"
Liu Chunzhi went to work in the fields, and Li Minghua and his son went to help in the brick and tile factory in the town. She was the only one. Oh, no, there was a young man studying in the room over there. Then she said: "The student is back."
Wang Yulan smiled and said: "I forgot that today is Saturday. Let's go to your room to talk."
Two sisters of similar age entered the room, and Wang Yulan sat on Li Wei's bed as if they were familiar with each other. Li Wei felt a little weird and said to Wang Yulan, "You go up on the stool."
Wang Yulan took the initiative to sit on the stool and said, "I heard that you don't study?"
Li Wei nodded.
Wang Yulan looked at Li Wei in surprise, as if it was not a big deal, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, just don't read if you don't want to. I'm not at home either, so I can keep you company. Let's go cut pigweed together tomorrow. Let’s go up the mountain to look for firewood together, just like before, don’t worry about it.”
Wang Yulan was also kind-hearted. Li Wei accepted her favor and nodded: "Okay."
"No matter what, we are all friends. But what happened to you this time? There are some unpleasant rumors outside. Tell me what's going on?"
How? Li Wei was not able to answer, so she asked: "What do people say outside?"
Wang Yulan opened her mouth and said: "Some people said that you and that boy were caught by the teacher while sneaking together, others said that you had a fight with that boy, and others said..." Wang Yulan paused here, obviously There are even worse things to say.
"That's it. It's over. Why bring it up?" Li Wei thought of this and treated Wang Yulan perfunctorily.
Fortunately, Wang Yulan didn't ask further and said with a smile: "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, life has to go on, and now she can't go back to Daqi, so she has to temporarily live a good life in her original place.
Wang Yulan sat for a while, and went back because it was getting late.
After Liu Chunzhi came back, Li Wei also went out to help. It was Li Wei's job to cook and cook. As a queen mother, she had never done such rough work before, and she seemed very clumsy. Later, Liu Chunzhi couldn't stand it anymore and complained with anger: "What else can I expect you to do, not even light a fire."
Liu Chunzhi took the match from Li Wei's hand, held the stick and lightly drew it on the long black strip. The fire ignited in an instant, and then ignited the firewood in the stove.
Here Li Jianbo has finished writing the last exercise, and his neck is a little sore. He took a long stretch and stretched his body.
He heard the car bell ringing and knew that his father and eldest brother were back. Li Jianbo put the book back into his bag and put it back in his room.
In fact, that's not his room. There aren't many rooms at home, so he and his eldest brother are now sharing a room. My parents said they would save money to renovate the house and build a few more rooms. After all, the eldest brother was approaching the age of getting married and he had to have his own space.
Li Jianbo put away his schoolbag and walked out.
"Is Jianbo coming back?"
Li Jianbo agreed and shouted again: "Dad! Brother!"
After dinner and no other activities, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. Only Li Jianping was still playing the radio.
"You have an exam soon, right? I thought you wouldn't be back this week."
Li Jianbo said: "I have no money and I have finished eating the rice. I have to come back no matter what."
"Well, take the exam well, you brat!" Li Jianping lightly punched Li Jianbo. Li Jianping was a jerk when he was studying. He only knew how to play all day long and could not sit still. He barely made it to the fourth grade and never wanted to study again.
"Is everything okay at home?" Li Jianbo asked calmly.
Li Jianping thought that he had to talk to Jianbo about his sister, so he said to him: "Fortunately you called the brick and tile factory on the day of Laba, and I went home to check on it, otherwise our sister... Jianbo, thank you you."
