It’s just that neither of Liwei’s parents went out to work. The two of them stayed at home and made money by farming, vegetables, and fruits. Although the family’s life was not hard, they couldn’t make much money.
If something happens, we will really lose everything.
But now Liwei can make money by writing online novels and can support herself. The family no longer has to worry about her. They only need to take care of her sister. Her sister is still in junior high school and will have a lot of money to spend in the future.
In the afternoon, Liwei's father and uncle were chopping firewood in the field in front of the door. There is still an old stove in Liwei's old house, which is often used to stew soup, chicken and duck, and other time-consuming things. On the thirtieth day, we need meat and firewood. Liwei's father and uncle are starting to make preparations now.
Li Wei may have eaten it when she was little. On New Year's Eve, her family ate a big bowl of meat, and then she went to other people's houses to eat it. Almost every family had to eat a bowl. Now that she has grown up, she doesn't know why. I can't eat it anymore. My own family can't even eat two pieces, let alone other people's families.
Liwei's mother was sitting by the well handling the goose she had raised and stewing it for dinner tonight. While she was handling it, she asked Liwei who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, "Liwei, are you going back to school tonight or tomorrow morning?" ?”
"I'll definitely go back tonight. Won't I freeze to death if I go back tomorrow morning?" Li Wei said helplessly.
"Okay, after the goose is stewed that night, I'll fill it up half way and you can take it over to Song Xi and the others to eat." Li Wei's mother said, her daughter lived with someone else and used their computer, and they also gave Li Wei tutoring. She didn't know how to repay others, so she could only take some food and improve their food.
They live in high-rise buildings, and their homes are all powered by natural gas. They cannot stew a goose at all, and the stew they make in a hurry is not as delicious as the stew made in a big iron pot in the countryside.
“Okay.” Liwei responded readily.
Liwei’s mother took care of the goose, chopped it up, took it to the kitchen, and stewed it in a pot.
After Liwei's mother came out of the kitchen, she saw a delicate-looking little boy appearing in front of her door. He was carrying a schoolbag and holding a bicycle in his hand. Liwei's mother asked, "Who are you? You What’s the matter with coming to our house?”
"Hello, auntie, I am Li Wei's classmate, Bai Qinshan. My family lives on a **** by the roadside. My father used to collect eels, but now he runs a small shop." Bai Qinshan explained.
Liwei’s mother reacted immediately, “It turns out it’s you. Our Liwei also sold eels to your house when she was little. Your father gave her ten yuan a pound. Do you remember?”
Bai Qinshan's family is well off, and almost everyone knows it, so just mention the elders in the family, and Li Wei's mother will know who he is. When Li Wei was in elementary school, the bicycle at home was bought with the money Li Wei's father caught eels for. !
Bai Qinshan smiled sheepishly, "Auntie, I definitely don't remember things that happened so long ago!"
He didn’t expect that they had such a past when they were young. He thought they were just classmates in elementary school and now they are classmates in high school!
"By the way, do you have anything to do with our Li Wei?" Li Wei's mother asked.
“I don’t understand a few questions, so I wanted to come over and ask Li Wei.” Bai Qinshan said.
Li Wei came out of the living room and said, "Your grades are so much better than mine. If you don't know the questions, I certainly can't." Then Li Wei asked Bai Qinshan to park his bicycle and asked him to come home. Bai Qinshan sat down After getting off, put your legs under the table. There is a heater underneath so your legs and feet won't get cold.
“Classmate Bai, our family has goose stewed in an iron pot in the evening. You can have dinner at our house!” Liwei’s mother said. "Thank you, auntie." Bai Qinshan agreed directly without any hesitation.
Li Wei looked at Bai Qinshan helplessly, "It seems like we are very familiar with each other."
"We are indeed familiar with each other. We have been classmates for five years in elementary school, and now we are classmates in high school. We have known each other for so many years. Why can't we be called familiar?" Bai Qinshan said.
Li Wei glanced at him, then lowered her head and wrote the test paper seriously. Bai Qinshan also took out his textbook and started reading it. As he read, he said, "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. I can't eat your food for nothing." Food, right?”
"If you eat my food, you have to work for me. I will definitely not let you eat for nothing." Liwei said.
"Where is your sister? It's New Year's Day today, isn't she at home?" Bai Qinshan asked curiously.
“I went out to play with my classmates. She has more classmates.” Li Wei said.
Bai Qinshan nodded thoughtfully, then he didn't speak anymore, but wrote the test paper seriously.
At this time, a grandma walked past the door. Li Wei had to call her 'grandma' according to her seniority, but 'ma'am' was fine. The grandma passed by the door of Li Wei's house, then stepped back, voicing doubts. , "Qinshan, why are you here?"
?This great-grandmother's family is only two houses away from Liwei's family. The distance is not far, only two or three minutes. She is also a relative of Bai Qinshan's family. During the Chinese New Year, Bai Qinshan's family will come to visit her family.
Bai Qinshan looked up and saw that the person at the door was a distant relative of his family. He stood up awkwardly and said nervously, "Um... Li Wei and I are classmates now. If I have a question I don't understand, come here and ask Li Wei for help. "
Grandma nodded, "Then come to our house for dinner tonight!"
"No, I'm going back soon. I have something else to do!" Because they are distant relatives, we don't meet often. We only come with the family to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year. Facing her now, Bai Qinshan still feels quite It was embarrassing, mainly because I really didn’t know what to say, and he wasn’t familiar with her either. Only people of his grandparents’ generation were familiar with her.
"Okay." Grandma didn't force her. She nodded with a smile and left.
After Bai Qinshan waited for his great-grandmother to leave, he quickly pushed the bicycle to the house and closed the door of the living room. Otherwise, his great-grandmother would definitely come over and drag him over to eat after a while. Since he had decided to eat at Liwei's house , naturally he can no longer go to her house for dinner. The main reason is that he doesn’t want to go. He is not familiar with them and it would be too embarrassing to go.
After Bai Qinshan closed the door, the living room became very dark. Li Wei had to get up and turn on the lights in the living room, and then the two of them continued studying.
After Li Wei's mother waited for the goose in the pot to be stewed, she brought a multi-layered lunch box and packed a whole lunch box of goose meat. There were more people living in Li Wei's place, six of them in total. Less, not enough to eat.
After that, Li Wei's mother cooked a few more dishes. After she was done, she came over to watch Li Wei and Bai Qinshan go to have dinner. Li Wei packed up her textbooks and put them in her schoolbag. She stood up and stretched her shoulders and arms. After a long Sitting there, it really hurts my back.
