Chapter 171 A Wei is chilled
After discussing it, the few of them moved the dug-up tree stumps onto a cart and pulled it back to the old house. They saw several cousins ​​riding tricycles in the yard, all of them laughing with joy.

When Zhang Xiaoxia saw them coming back, she happily stepped forward and held Li Changxi, "Mother, let's buy a tricycle, so we don't have to walk when we come to grandma's house."

Li Changxi wiped her sweat off her face and said, "Mother has no money, so I'll give you to Xiaohai as his wife. Mother will ride the tricycle back home."

Zhang Xiaoxia pouted, "No, Xiao Hai is not even older than me, I want to be Brother Xiao Tao's wife."

"Aunt, I don't want a young wife. It costs a lot of money and my family has no money." Li Xiaotao, who was squeezed on the tricycle, shouted hurriedly.

"I don't want you either." Zhang Xiaoxia made a face at him.

"Hahaha……"

The adults all laughed and moved the tree stumps on the cart to the west eaves to dry them.

Li Changxi sniffed, "I can smell the aroma of stewed bean noodles with sand, the ones you sent me, I'm still keeping them in a bucket!"

"Today I have to make bacon and glutinous rice, stewed old duck, and steamed blue crabs..." Li Changle gets excited when he talks about delicious food, mainly because he thinks that these days, both pork and seafood taste better than in later times.

"I'll go in and help light the fire." Li Changxi walked quickly into the kitchen and saw Zhou Ruonan cutting jellyfish. "When did you pickle the jellyfish at home?"

"I brought it back from my second sister-in-law's hometown. I soaked it all day yesterday and it's just right for mixing it today." Zhou Ruonan said as she put down the kitchen knife and put the chopped jellyfish on a plate.

Add chopped ginger and garlic, chop a chili pepper into small pieces and place on top of the shredded jellyfish. Add appropriate amount of soy sauce and vinegar and mix well. The fresh, crispy and delicious cold jellyfish skin is ready.

Li Changxi smiled and walked over to Li's mother who was cutting salt pork, "Mother, do you need my help?"

"No need!" Mother Li looked at her daughter lovingly, "How's the residential land over there? Is it spacious?"

"It's spacious!" Li Changxi said with a smile, "Brother and Ah Le built their house over there. Ah Huan will live here in the old house after he retires, right?"

"When he came back to visit his family last year, your father asked him about it. He said he would live in the old house. The army has a rule that if non-commissioned officers who have made third-class merits and have served beyond their term are demobilized, the government will arrange jobs for them."

Mother Li said happily, "Your aunt also said that when he is demobilized, she will find someone to help him and see if she can get Ah Huan to work in the cooperative?"

Li Changxi didn't expect that his arrogant aunt would be so nice to him. "The cooperative is very popular. If my aunt is willing to help, I should thank her very much."

Li Changle came in and listened, fearing that their letter would influence Li Changhuan and cause his unit to fall into the cooperative.

"Mother, I told you last time not to listen to Auntie and let Huan go to the cooperative. Why didn't you listen? I'm his biological brother. Would I harm him?"

"Mom, listen to me. When you write the letter, tell Ah Huan to apply to the border police station or the Maritime Bureau. He's a sailor, and he can do well in either of these two places when he comes back."

Li's mother rolled her eyes at him in anger. "The cooperative is so good. What's so good about the border police station and the maritime bureau? They both do jobs that offend people."

Li Changxi also said: "Yes, Ah Le, the cooperative is very popular, and those who don't have connections can't get in!"

"Sister, you see that more and more people are setting up stalls to sell things on market days. We buy things from small stalls. Who would go to the cooperative? Now, only department stores can still sell some large items. It's only a matter of time before they collapse."

Zhou Ruonan thought about it and interrupted, "Sister, what Ah Le said makes sense. Small things can be bought at small stalls. For big things, the black market behind my house has everything. The prices are cheaper than those in department stores, and no tickets are required."

Mrs. Li nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, the sewing machine and watch that Ah Le bought from Lucheng last time were both cheaper than those in the department store."

Li Changxi thought that they mostly bought things at small stalls now, and they didn't have money or tickets to buy big items. "Mother, what Ah Le said makes sense. Remind Ah Huan when you write the letter and ask him to think it over carefully."

Li's mother: "We don't understand these things. You can write a letter and tell him about them and see what he plans to do."

"Yes!" Li Changle looked at Zhou Ruonan, "Anan, next time you write a letter, add this and tell him not to go to supply and marketing cooperatives or department stores. Those will all be bankrupt companies in the future."

He felt that Li Changhuan had made the right choice in his previous life, and as long as no one influenced him, he would not make a wrong choice in this life.

"Mother, the glutinous rice is washed." Mrs. Li Er walked in holding a basin of glutinous rice.

"Okay, wait for me to fry the salted pork." Li's mother shoveled a little oil into the pan, stir-fried the salted pork and scallions for a few times, poured in a few scoops of water, then put the washed glutinous rice into the pan and cooked it with the salted pork.

After the glutinous rice and bacon rice are cooked, beat a dozen eggs and simmer them on top. The salty fragrance of the bacon and the fresh fragrance of the glutinous rice, mixed with the fragrance of the eggs, is added with a bowl of rice wine. The taste will make you drool just thinking about it.

"It smells so good!" Li Changle swallowed and couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had eaten salty pork and glutinous rice.

People here really like glutinous food, such as rice cakes, rice balls, glutinous rice dumplings... They make them in different ways during festivals or when entertaining guests.

"Greedy!" Mother Li patted him with a smile, "Your father and brother-in-law are talking outside, why are you, a man, guarding the kitchen?"

"Let me see if you guys are eating something secretly!" Li Changle walked out of the kitchen with a grin on his face, and saw Li's father and others gathered around the table looking at the floor plan he had drawn.

Several children were also watching there, and they walked up to them proudly and patted them on the back, "Isn't your uncle awesome? He can go fishing and he can also draw."

"Look, you're bragging again." Father Li smiled and tapped him, then said to the children, "Don't learn from your Third Uncle, he's not good at other things, but he's the best at bragging!" "Grandpa," Li Xiaoqing looked at Father Li, "I think the house Third Uncle drew is good, I like it. Dad, let's build the one Third Uncle drew."

Li Xiaotao nodded honestly, "I think it's good too. When I have diarrhea, I don't have to run to the toilet with my buttocks clamped. How convenient!"

Zhang Dejin smiled and nodded, "That's the truth!"

After hearing this, the others burst out laughing.

Brother Li smiled and rubbed him, "I know it's good, but unfortunately I don't have enough money in my pocket. How about I sell you?"

"I won't do it. Besides, no one will buy it for men!" Li Xiaotao glanced at Li Xiaoqing and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Father Li touched his grandson's head and said, "The adults are discussing things, you guys go play."

"oh oh!"

After the children left, Father Li said to Li Changle and his brother, "Building a house is a lifelong endeavor, and debts are inevitable. With Ah Jin's help, you can buy bricks and tiles on credit. Just follow your heart and build the house. You will live comfortably in the future."

The eldest and second brothers nodded, "Got it. Let's discuss it with Fang (Zhen). If they agree, we can do the same as Lejian."

Father Li nodded with satisfaction. "Ale, go and see if Uncle Dong has finished his work. Ping, go to Qing's house and call your Third Uncle and Qing. An, go and call Shui."

"okay!"

As soon as Li Changle entered the alley, he saw Chen Yongwei standing at the entrance of the alley, talking to a pretty girl with two long braids and slightly dark skin.

They moved pretty quickly. As soon as the foundation was laid here, they started talking over there.

"Brother Ale, have you eaten?" The black girl Lai Amei asked openly when she saw him.

Chen Yongwei turned around and saw Li Changle, scratching his head embarrassedly, "Brother, where are you going?"

"You guys talk, I'm going to the brigade headquarters." Li Changle winked at Chen Yongwei, who was even more shy than other girls, and strode away.

Lai Amei watched Li Changle walk away and said softly, "Brother Ale seems to have become a different person compared to before."

When Chen Yongwei heard her talking about Li Changle, he became more talkative, "My brother has changed a lot, he knows everything. This time, he drew the blueprint for our new house for Brother-in-law Axi.

The house he drew was good, with a living room, dining room, bathroom and toilet."

Lai Amei looked at him in surprise after hearing this, "That must cost a lot of money, right?"

"Yes! My house is the one in Dongshan. It cost about 5,000 to 6,000 yuan to build. I may owe more than 1,000 yuan in debt. Brother-in-law Ajin said that he would help us buy bricks and tiles on credit, and there would be no interest for half a year."

"My mother said that Alege's family are all kind people. You will get a great deal if you build a house with them."

"Yeah! My grandma said the same thing." Chen Yongwei looked at her a little embarrassedly, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Amei, do you have a partner?"

Lai Amei blushed, "I have a partner, and we are getting engaged on Mid-Autumn Festival. I came to you to introduce my little sister Aju to you..."

"No need!" Chen Yongwei, who was full of joy, felt disappointed after hearing this. He said quickly, "Don't bother with my business. Go slowly. I'll go home to pick up grandma and take her to Brother Le's house for dinner."

"Hey~ Why are you like this?" Seeing Chen Yongwei walking away without looking back, Lai Amei stomped her feet, twisted her butt, and turned away.

When Chen Yongwei got home, he sat down on a bamboo chair and sat there stupidly for a while. Then he got up and went into the house and said to Grandma Chen, "Grandma, there's no need to find someone to go to Amei's house. She has a boyfriend."

Grandma Chen looked at her grandson who was so happy just now. Her face was downcast and she looked depressed. She frowned and asked, "What did she want to ask you for?"

"She said she wanted to introduce me to someone, but I don't like him!" Chen Yongwei took a deep breath and said, "Let's go. I'm going to have dinner at Brother Ale's house. I'll look for a partner after the house is built."

Grandma Chen looked at her grandson with heartache, "This kind of thing depends on fate. Take your time and you will meet the girl you like." Then she asked, "Who does she want to introduce to you?"

"Aju, that's the fierce girl who sat next to me in school."

"Aju from Wang Zhenghai's family?"

"Yes, it's his Ah Ju." Chen Yongwei approached, "That dead girl is so greedy, and her face is as round as a copper plate. I don't like her."

"I think Aju is pretty good. She has a round face and looks lucky. Girls with faces as small as a palm look unlucky."

　This year's seafood is cheaper than in previous years. Jellyfish is only 15 yuan per pound. Mao bought several pounds to take away. Hairtail, pomfret and cuttlefish are also cheaper than in previous years.
