Chapter 456: Arguing After Returning From Shopping

Han Li approached his mother mysteriously and was about to continue talking when Sister Han shouted from the yard.

"Dad, it's time for us to leave, otherwise we won't be able to catch the car in time."

"Dad, Mom, let's talk about it when we come back tonight."

"You kid, your dad is in a hurry to go to work. I'm not in a hurry. Please tell me in advance."

"..., let's wait until tonight."

When Mother Han was still about to say something, she saw Father Han bringing his son back to him, taking out two boxes of Peony cigarettes and putting them in his pocket, so the firepower immediately shifted there.

"My son brought back five boxes in total, so you have to draw two boxes this day."

"My son bought me cigarettes, but I can't show them off at work."

The old couple quarreled with each other. They put the lunch boxes they picked up in their bags and went to work. When Han Li helped his father organize his clothes, he also helped him break down some dirt from his lungs.

Then the second sister and the younger sister went to work, and they were the only three people left in the house who sat together for a while and said, Han Li.

"Where should we go for a walk today?"

"Yesterday when we went shopping for clothes with my sisters, we found that there really wasn't much change in the four-nine cities that made us worried about not coming back in the past two years."

"Didn't my little sister say that the people's market in Dongsi is pretty big? How about we go there and have a look? We can't stay home all the time when we go back to the city. If you have any relatives or friends, We can also go and visit.”

"Haha, where are the relatives and friends? Not only did those bastards cut off ties with our family and add insult to injury, but they also wanted to take advantage of our sisters. I wish I could have strangled them to death. If my father hadn't had the foresight to secretly let us I don’t know what will happen if the two sisters go to the countryside.”

Yun Jingjing said this bitterly, causing Yun Yingying to start crying. Han Li took each of her hands into his arms and comforted her softly.

"Okay, those days have passed, and our life will only get better and better in the future. Then again, if you didn't go to the countryside, how would we have met together? I can't imagine if I didn't have you two. If you are around me, then my life will be very meaningless, and I will probably live in a state of confusion like everyone else."

"Brother Li..."

When the words are sweet, the feelings are deep. It is naturally self-evident.

The new environment and atmosphere are all new experiences. The only bad thing is that the bed at home is not as durable as the kang in Shanghe Village.

It makes a crunching sound after a few rounds, which is interesting to hear for a while, but becomes a bit annoying after a long time.

.

It was already past ten o'clock when Han Li took the radiant sisters out, walking in the alley and greeting the neighbors outside.

"Hello uncle"

"Han Li, when did you come back?"

"I just got home yesterday."

"Hello, uncle"

"Your kid is back. How long will you stay at home this time?"

"You have to celebrate the New Year no matter what."

"Have a good New Year, your dad won't have to talk about these things."

"Hello, aunt"

"Han Li, I just heard your mother said she was coming back. When did you get home? And who are these two?"

"Auntie, I just got home yesterday. One of them is my partner and the other is my sister."

Upon hearing this, the aunt pulled Han Li aside and whispered.

"Are you confused? Are you looking for someone in the countryside? Do you still want to come back?"

"Auntie, thank you, but they are also from Sijiu City. We are educated youths from the same village who jumped in line and will not affect our return to the city."

"That's good. I said these two big girls look upright and have the air of our country. They don't look like girls from the country. They turn out to be girls from the doorstep. Okay, you guys have a good eye."

"Auntie, you are busy. We haven't been back for two years. We plan to take a walk around the streets."

"Brother Hou, are you going?"

"Hey, who do I think you are? It turns out that your kid is back. You must go to my place for a drink tonight."

Han Li said hello all the way out of the alley. This was more than what he said when he walked around Shanghe Village. There is no way this is the case in this world. If you don't take the initiative to say hello to people, especially the elders, everyone will They will say that your family is uneducated and so on.

Han Li took the two sisters to the People's Market in Dongsi Tiao that Han Xiaomei mentioned first, and then to the "New China No. 1 Store" in Dongfeng Market on Wangfujing Street.

Han Li had no shortage of money, so he paid for everything the sisters wanted to eat along the way, including ice cream, candied haws, ice cream, and ice cream. Han Li didn't let them eat until the eighth cup.

"I really can't eat any more today. If I eat more, you two will feel uncomfortable. If you want to eat, we can come over tomorrow to eat."

"Brother Li, but I still want to eat, especially when I think that I won't be able to eat when I return to Shanghe Village after the Chinese New Year."

"Then let's have another cup. In fact, this ice cream is relatively simple to make. I will find some raw materials and bring it with me another day so that you can also eat ice cream when you go to Shanghe Village."

Not only did they eat in the morning, the sisters also bought a set of clothes for Father Han, Mother Han, and the three sisters of the Han family. These days, the clothes are only available in three sizes: large, medium, and small, so there is no need to worry about not being able to wear them.

At first, the two sisters wanted to buy Han Li a pair of leather shoes, but they were uncomfortable and impractical, so he refused.

So the two sisters bought two pairs of recently popular loafers from Han Li. The shoe opening of this shoe has elastic bands, which are very convenient to put on and take off.

The most important thing is that this loafers is different from ordinary cloth shoes. Ordinary cloth shoes do not fit the feet and are easy to fall off when walking fast.

Because the loafers have strong elastic bands at the shoe opening, the entire cloth shoe becomes very suitable. When you wear it, you can run even if you don’t walk fast, so loafers are very popular now.

This kind of loafers is divided into two types: thousand-layer soles and plastic soles. The plastic soles are divided into two types: brown-red and white. They are called white-edged loafers and red-edged loafers.

In this era, everyone believes that white plastic is high-quality, while brown-red plastic is recycled and is a little worse, so these two colors of loafers are directly divided into high and low grades as soon as they are launched.

Those cadres and young people would rather spend a dime more to buy white ones, even if they know that white loafers are not resistant to dirt and need to be taken care of every day, but they still want to experience the feeling of being superior.

It was already past one o'clock when they finished buying clothes. Seeing that the two sisters were still full of enthusiasm for shopping, Han Li rubbed his body and said.

"Why don't we find a place to eat something before continuing to walk around?"

"Brother Li, what do you want to eat?"

"What do you two want to eat?"

"Luzhu? There used to be a Luzhu shop in front. I wonder if it is still open now?"

"Now as long as it is a state-owned restaurant, there is no such thing as closing down. Let's go there to eat Luzhu."

The three of them came here and paid for three servings of Luzhu. Han Li's portion had an extra portion of sausage, and the sisters' portion had an extra portion of tofu.

Han Li and the others paid and handed the sign to the chopping board chef. The chef took out the ingredients, picked up the knife and cut them into small pieces. He cut the tofu into triangles that would not fall apart easily. Finally, he sprinkled chopped green onions and chives, and poured chili oil on it. After two bites, the stomach immediately became warm.

After eating, the three of them didn't want to move a little. The key was that there was nowhere to go.

The nearby Beihai Park and Jshan Park were closed a long time ago for special reasons. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary and second-rate people cannot enter casually.

Then the rest is to watch movies or stroll by the lake. As for dramas, they are not often available, so you need to wait for an opportunity to watch them.

The three people discussed it, bought some beef tendon peas from the side as snacks, bought tickets and walked into the cinema. They didn't care what was playing inside, they just enjoyed the atmosphere.

Beef tendon peas, also known as pea yellow, are a traditional snack in Sijiu City.

This kind of beef tendon peas is very simple to make. Just add five-spice powder and salt to the washed peas, boil them in water until they are 90% cooked, then take them out and let them dry for a while. After drying, the boiled peas have wrinkled skin, which is called "beef tendon peas". This pea looks inconspicuous, but it tastes chewy and the more you chew, the more fragrant it is.

This beef tendon peas is not only loved by the people of Sijiu City, but also by the "pseudo-dynasty queen".

Because of the simple production process, beef tendon peas were an extra source of money for many poor families at that time.

In the early years of the Republic of China, every season, many children would carry baskets and sell them on the street.

"Peas here - the dried ones are fragrant - ah!"

"Better than beef tendon - peas!"

"Peas - give more!"

It is said that even the crosstalk master Hou***lin sold beef tendon peas for a long time when he was young because his family was poor.

At that time, beef tendon peas were not sold by weight, but by "handfuls". I will give you a handful for how much money.

Because beef tendon peas are relatively cheap, families with similar conditions will buy a few handfuls when they see children selling them. Those with children at home will give them to their children to satisfy their cravings, and those without children will take them to go with wine.

The beef tendon peas that Han Li and his friends bought now are already very high-end, with small bags wrapped in straw paper in advance, and they are sold at a dime per bag.

After Han Li and his friends waited for the movie to end, the sky had already darkened, and it was almost time for the family to start cooking.

Han Li asked the two sisters to wait for the bus on the roadside. He went to the grocery store next to him and took a quick look. When he came out, there was a large piece of fresh beef in his bag.

The three people got off the bus and walked into the alley and started to say hello. It was a time when there were many people, so there were more things to say. It was originally a good scene of harmonious neighbors, but unfortunately a stink bug jumped out to spoil the mood.

"Hey, isn't this the only child of the Han family? How is it going to the countryside to join the team? Can you stand it? Is your temper still so stubborn? This is not good. Young people are different when they go out. Otherwise, you won't have so many good neighbors to protect you when you get beaten again."

"Hehe., don't worry about this. I heard that two of your three useless sons went down? How are they? Can they stand it? Young people are different when they go out. Don't be so mean, otherwise you won't have your brothers to help you when you get beaten!

By the way, why did they Why don't you come back? Is it because the work points you earned from working in the fields are not enough to buy a ticket? Tsk, tsk, tsk. That's really pitiful and incompetent. I became a regular doctor after going to the countryside, and bought several snakeskin bags of local specialties for my family when I came back.

So instead of grinding your teeth with me, why don't you teach them how to be down-to-earth? Work hard and don't think about irrelevant things all day long. How embarrassing it would be to tell others that you can't even earn enough money for a ticket home in a year? "

"Good for you"
