Chapter 271 (1/2)
the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.
In the morning, Li Dong drove back to Chenjiawan. This time, it was different from the last time he sent Li Lan back. As the Spring Festival approached, Li Dong was not able to get through.
Li Dong, carrying a big bag and a small bag, visited the old people in the village.
No matter the elder Li or the elder Chen, Li Dong was not stingy this time. Anyone over 70 gave a red envelope of 2000 yuan.
In 2006, farming at home may not save 2000 yuan all year round.
Li Dong's action pushed Li Shanren's reputation to the top.
Of course, Li Dong doesn't want nothing. He takes Li Lan with him when he visits his elders.
Li Lan's identity in Chenjiawan is a little awkward. The rural people are not so open-minded, and they are not waiting for the identity of an illegitimate daughter.
Li Dong doesn't expect a small favor to make everyone feel grateful. However, Li Lan should have a better life in the future because of the red envelope. At least other people are gossiping, and these elders should be able to point out a few words.
After visiting his elders, Li Dong went back to his old house.
Since the Li brothers left Chenjiawan, the old house has been empty, but in the past, Li Chengyuan would come back to paste Spring Festival couplets every year.
Li Chengyuan did not come back this year, and the task naturally fell to Li Dong.
Because Li Chenghui passed away this year, the old rule in Chenjiawan is to paste white couplets when their elders pass away, and yellow couplets should be pasted when their peers die.
Cheng Hui and Li Yuan's are posted on the gate.
After pasting the couplet, Li Dong went to Chen Laohan's house again.
Besides Chen Jing, old man Chen also has two sons. One is a farmer at home. Li Dong met him last time.
The other was working outside. Li Dong had seen it several times when he was a child. However, after many years, he had changed a lot, but he didn't recognize it.
When Li Dong arrived, Chen Jing was with old man Chen.
Originally, when Li Dong didn't arrive, the two brothers in the Chen family didn't like Chen Jing very much, and the two sister-in-law were even more disgusted.
However, as soon as Li Dong came, the Chen brothers turned pale.
Chen Laoer, the one who went out to work, quickly took out a packet of Yuxi tobacco from his pocket and handed it to Li Dong. With a smile on his face, he said, ”Dongzi, the matter is over?”
Li Dong nodded. He also took out a pack of cigarettes and scattered it around. Then he said with a smile, ”when did Uncle Chen come back?”
Chen Laoer said with a smile: ”I just arrived yesterday.”
Then he glanced at the cigarette box in Li Dong's hand, his eyebrows trembled, and he hesitated a little: ”Dongzi, is this the Yellow Crane Tower 19 or so? I see our boss seems to smoke this.”
“1916。”
Li Dong laughed and handed the rest of the bag to Mr. Chen. Then he said, ”I usually smoke less. It seems that there are some bags left in the car. I'll bring them to Uncle Chen later.”
Chen Laoer said with a face of embarrassment: ”this can't be done! I'm a part-time worker. How can I smoke this? It's a waste
Li Dong didn't entangle in this, turned the topic and said: ”where are the Xiaolan people?”
Chen Jing next to her immediately said, ”Xiaolan is going home to pack up her schoolbag. She will come right away.”
”Oh, I'll go and have a look. By the way, I'll bring the cigarette to Uncle Chen.”
After that, he said hello to old man Chen, and Li Dong went out to the small building where Li Chenghui used to be.
As soon as Li Dong left, Mr. Chen asked his brother, ”second, is the Yellow Crane Tower valuable?”
Hearing the speech, Chen Laoer immediately straightened up his chest and said with pride: ”you don't understand. I work in Shanghai, and that's what my boss smokes. Do you know what my boss does? The big open-door merchants use trucks to pull the money at home... ”
Chen Laoer showed off for a long time, and no one in the room was impatient.
Although they don't have money, listening to others can make them addicted.
After talking for a long time, Chen Laoer got to the point and said with emotion on his face: ”Li's boy is really rich. This pack of cigarettes is 1780, and one cigarette is about 10 yuan. If you don't have money, who dares to spoil it like this?”
Everyone took a breath. His mother really wasted money!
Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen took the cigarette just handed over by Li Dong to watch. Who would be willing to smoke so expensive.
Even if you want to smoke, at least you have to go out and show off.
Others are still just feeling, but Chen's daughter-in-law glared at him fiercely, silly goods!
You don't know how to ask for cigarettes if you want cigarettes!
Chen Laoer's daughter-in-law is complacent, and then whispered to Chen Laoer: ”you say Li family boy, can you give it to you later?”
Chen Laoer said with a sneer: ”woman's insight. I just saw it. People are driving a gallop. They all say that they can care about how many packs of cigarettes you have?”
Several people are saying, Li Dong led Li Lan to come together.
He threw the remaining half of the cigarette to Chen Laoer, and then Li Dong handed a big red red envelope to Chen Laohan in the front of the main room.
Chen Laohan smoked a dry cigarette, took the red envelope and pinched it with his hands. Then he half pushed and said with a smile on his face: ”you baby, what is this? I'll give you a red packet, which can't ask for your money.”Li dongke said: ”please don't be polite, this is a little of my heart. Xiaolan usually works a lot here. You can take care of her. ”
He forced the red envelope to the old man Chen, and then Li Dong gave the red envelopes to the children of the elder brother and the second.
After a few years of hard work in the city, Chen can endure for a while.
Boss Chen was honest and did not speak, but Chen's daughter-in-law snatched the red envelope from her son's hand, opened it for a look, and then she was smiling.
500 yuan per person is not much for Li Dong, but it is not low in rural areas.
