Chapter 72 Ex-girlfriend comes knocking
Li Xiangyang went home after buying the radio.
He plans to go back to fish in the afternoon, and if he's not too tired tonight, he plans to go out and catch a few more pheasants to sell together tomorrow morning.
These days are pretty good; as long as you're bold and willing to work hard, you can make money.
He can slowly save up some capital, and then reap the benefits of the times in a few years, after which he can finally live a completely peaceful life.
No need for the 715 or 996 exam papers anymore.
"By the way, Jianguo, come back with me later. We don't have enough fish to sell these days, so we need to catch more when we get back."
Li Xiangyang was calculating in his mind that the state-run restaurant definitely needed more than 100 catties of fish a day, and in addition, the black market would definitely need more than 100 catties as well.
That adds up to about two hundred pounds of fish.
If he and his brother Li Xiangdong were to collect that much money, they would be exhausted to death.
"Great! I've been wanting to go fishing with my brother-in-law for a while now."
Liu Jianguo agreed without even thinking about it.
Although people in this era are said to mature early, he was still just an 18-year-old boy, and he was still very interested in catching fish and shrimp.
Furthermore,
Li Xiangyang paid him 4 yuan a day, which was more than a week's wages for others, and he came along every day to sell fish for a few hours.
You can get so much so easily.
For this,
He felt a little guilty about it.
His father, Liu Guangyao, reminded him during dinner last night that relatives are relatives, but there should be reciprocity; one cannot just take money without doing any work.
Otherwise, you'll lose even your relatives sooner or later!
Li Xiangyang's carriage hadn't arrived yet, but the Li family had already seen off several groups of guests.
The reason was that the brigade had broadcast to the whole village that morning that Li Xiangyang had been awarded the title of advanced individual and that his family would be rewarded with an industrial voucher.
They also posted Li Xiangyang's exemplary deeds in big-character posters.
This is great news!
The Li family was quite well-known in the village.
Upon hearing the news, neighbors, whether they were regular acquaintances or not, all came over to visit.
Some came to offer their congratulations, while others came simply to see if the family had bought a radio, and if so, to listen to something new and interesting.
At this time, the older neighbors were chatting with Li Zhenshan and Wang Guiying in the middle room, while the younger ones went to the east room to chat with Zhao Lijuan.
Liu Xiulan hadn't been married into the village for very long, and didn't know many people there, so she didn't get involved. She would only occasionally go to the middle room to help serve some tea or to the east room to add some firewood.
They found enjoyment in it.
After all, every time she went in, everyone's eyes and conversations would inevitably turn to her, followed by praise for her good fortune, her good marriage, and her man's competence, etc.
Some flattering scenes.
Believe it or not, Liu Xiulan actually enjoyed it very much; she felt a sense of triumph.
After all, Li Xiangyang was a notorious troublemaker in the village, always eating and laziness. As Li Xiangyang's wife, she suffered a lot of gossip because of this.
He was shorter than everyone else when walking on the village road.
but now,
Who would dare to look down on her now!
Liu Xiulan, carrying a small plate of melon seeds, pushed open the door to the east room and went inside. She saw Zhao Lijuan and Liu Guifang from the team sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) chatting.
She said softly, "Sister-in-law, Mother asked me to bring some melon seeds."
"Okay, I'll leave it here. Thank you, Xiulan." Zhao Lijuan took the fruit plate, smiling broadly, and said, "Why don't you come up and sit with me?"
"No, you two chat. Xiangyang should be back soon. I need to go and prepare some food for him first," Liu Xiulan declined.
Although she knew Liu Guifang, they weren't very close. They were just friends of the older sister-in-law, and the two of them liked to gossip about other people's business behind people's backs.
She couldn't get involved, nor did she want to.
but,
It is said that Li Xiangyang had previously pursued Liu Guifang, but she did not reciprocate his feelings at the time.
Previously, Zhao Lijuan would visit her at her house, and she had never come to the Li family's house to sit down. Now that she heard that Xiangyang had gotten better, she came over to sit down.
What does that mean?
Liu Xiulan didn't know, but since the woman who had previously been involved with Xiang Yang had come to her house, she, as the legitimate wife, had to come and show her face.
This can also be considered a declaration of sovereignty.
"Okay, then go and prepare something to eat for Xiangyang. It's cold outside. Xiangyang must be hungry by now."
Liu Xiulan was about to leave, which was exactly what Zhao Lijuan wanted, since the three of them couldn't really get along.
really,
As soon as Liu Xiulan pushed open the door and went out, the two of them started gossiping again.
"Sister Lijuan, I didn't expect Xiangyang to have changed so much in just a few days. He's been hunting deer, selling fish, and being called an advanced individual. Now he even wants to buy a radio."
Liu Guifang grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the fruit plate and praised them as she ate them.
She was a native of Li Xiangyang Village and had known Li Xiangyang since she was a child, but she didn't have a good impression of him before.
She was just a lazy good-for-nothing, which is why she didn't agree to date Li Xiangyang when he pursued her.
I never expected Li Xiangyang to become so capable.
"What, regretting it now?" Zhao Lijuan chuckled and teased, "I tried to persuade you to marry into the Li family before, but you wouldn't agree."
Zhao Lijuan has been married into the Li family for many years. She knows that Li Xiangyang is pursuing Liu Guifang. Back then, Li Xiangyang even asked her privately to put in a good word for him with Liu Guifang.
"What's there to regret later? Who you marry is fate."
Liu Guifang gave a curt but defiant reply.
She felt a pang of envy the moment she learned how capable Li Xiangyang had become.
She was beautiful from a young age and received only praise, so naturally she was more proud than others.
From a young age, she made up her mind that she must marry a capable man in this lifetime.
So when Li Xiangyang pursued her before, she rejected him without even thinking about it. He was just a small-time hoodlum, how could he be worthy of her?
I just didn't expect...
"That's true, it's all fate!"
Zhao Lijuan, being quite perceptive, handed her a ladder and said with a smile:
"But you know what, Xiangyang's wife looks like she's blessed. She's beautiful, has a great figure, especially down there..."
Zhao Lijuan exaggeratedly gestured with her hands in front of her chest to indicate her name.
This was both a joke and a subtle way of praising Liu Xiulan!
Even if Liu Guifang and Liu Xiulan get along well, they are still just friends. Even if they don't get along, they are still sisters-in-law and family. She can tell who is closer and who is more distant.
Therefore, Liu Xiulan should be praised when it's appropriate.
"You mean Xiulan?" Liu Guifang quickly recalled Liu Xiulan's image in her mind: "She certainly has a very auspicious appearance..."
She only acknowledged that Liu Xiulan looked blessed.
In terms of beauty,
Liu Guifang is one of the most prominent women in the village. Although Liu Xiulan is also quite pretty, she is not as good-looking as Liu Guifang.
However, her breasts... are indeed quite something.
Thinking of this, Liu Guifang unconsciously crossed her arms in front of her chest and squeezed them together.
Skyscrapers rise from the ground.
With a victorious smile, he retorted defiantly, "Mine's just as good!"
