Chapter 369: explain
Chapter 369 Confession
After dinner, Ma Li looked at the three luggage in the main room, and the sadness in her heart surfaced again.
After the three children left, she and four elderly people were left at home, and it would take half a year to see the children.
"Mom, you go to the backyard with us, there are some things to tell you."
Li Chengji took Li Ma and walked to the backyard, and seeing Li Ma's face full of reluctance, he felt reluctant too.
"What's the matter, you have to go to the backyard to talk about it, it's so mysterious!"
Li Chengji and Li Xiaoyu both smiled at her mysteriously. This smile made Li Ma even more curious. Is there really a secret at home?
She didn't even notice that there was any difference.
Li Chengji lifted the cauldron on the stove, pushed the stone slab below, and took the lead to drill down.
Mama Li was stunned, how could this be the same as the movie, and there are secret passages.
"Mom, hurry down!" Li Chengji didn't hear any movement, he stretched out his head and shouted.
"Hey! Hey! Just come!" Li Mama did as she did in a daze, and didn't wake up at all.
Li Xiaoyu, who followed behind, was floating when she saw her walking.
It seems that only the reaction of his own mother is the reaction of a normal person.
Li Chengji opened the stone gate and let Ma Li see the supplies inside.
Mama Li saw that there were baskets, sacks, and jars lined up inside, so she approached to take a closer look.
Rice, gray noodles, eggs, wax, rapeseed oil, lard, and a pile of red glutinous rice, even honey, there are two small jars, and there are two large boxes of live chickens and live rabbits.
"This, this, where did these things come from? Did you go to the black market again, didn't you tell you not to go?
Well promised, why go back? "
Mama Li was so anxious that she burst into tears. The brothers and sisters had black lines all over their heads. Where is this from?
"Mom, we didn't go to the black market, we saved it all in the past, and now I'm telling you, I'm afraid we won't have enough food at home after we leave.
These two frames of living creatures were obtained recently. There have been people coming and going at home, so I didn’t take them out. You can keep them in the backyard in the future, and it’s convenient to eat meat.
You should also pay attention to safety when you go to and from get off work. Dad is not at home, so don't talk to some people with bad intentions. "
Li Chengji half-truths told Ma Li the source of these things, and finally let her understand that this was not just exchanged by the three children.
"Mom, you only need to know about the secret way. The four old people in the family are old after all, don't let them scare them out.
But you must remember the importance of this secret passage. The materials hidden here are enough for the family to use for a year, so don’t save too much, and make sure everyone is full. "
Li Xiaoyu took out another bulging envelope from her body and handed it to Li Ma.
"Mom, there are 500 yuan in it, you can use it, and Liu Qiuxian still has 200 yuan.
If she buys defective cloth again, don't sell too much to her. I'm afraid that if something happens, it will involve you and Aunt Qin, and it will not affect you well. "
"I don't want it, you go out and spend money in many places.
The money you gave me last time has not been used. You are paying for the expenses of the house, and I keep all the wages.
Mom will give you three brothers and sisters 100 yuan per person. Mom only has this ability. You have to be fine outside. Mom can rest assured. Don't worry about your family. We can take care of ourselves. "
Li Xiaoyu shoved the envelope into Li Ma's pocket. She was afraid that if the family needed the money urgently, Li Ma would not be able to take it out, and Li's father was not at home, so she would be asked to borrow it from a womanist family.
There are not many people who can save a few hundred dollars at home in this day and age. Given Li Ma's character, she can't open her mouth to borrow money from others. It is best to leave a sum of money for her.
"Mom, you can take out the food for a few days at a time.
goes with your supply and is not too conspicuous. "
Li's mother's tears flowed even more fiercely. The children were going to go out, but she was the mother who was most worried.
makes her feel useless and makes the child worry.
"Mom will be at home waiting for you to come back..."
The brothers and sisters took the two frames of living creatures out of the secret room, built two simple nests in the backyard, and temporarily placed the chickens and rabbits inside.
None of the four old people in the front yard went to sleep, they were all still waiting for them, the purpose was to teach them the experience of going out.
The three brothers and sisters listened to the experience of one ear, and nodded straight with humility and education, only to be let go by the four old people.
Leaving the main room, Li Xiaoyu gave an envelope to each of the two brothers: "The flowers for you, take them by yourself, don't drop them!"
"Little girl, are you treating your brother as a child and giving back pocket money!" Li Chengji laughed.
"That's right, if you want to give it, you will give it later!"
Li Chengji slapped Li Chengyi on the back and scolded with a smile.
"It's a shame, such an old man still asks the little girl for pocket money. After you go to school and manage everything, there is still money to take. Don't ask the little girl for money again!"
"Hey, second brother, we can't take the little sister's kindness away!" Li Chengyi smiled and put the envelope into his pocket.
"Go to bed early, get up early tomorrow, don't stay in bed!"
After , Li Chengji ignored the two and went back to sleep.
In the main room, Grandpa Li was sitting at the door smoking, while Old Man Yan sat with him at the door.
"What? I can't bear it! Young eagles always have to leave their nests when they grow up. The sky outside is their world."
"It's a bit reluctant. After all, I grew up in front of my eyes. Now there are only three of us left. We are really old. Alas!"
"Old man Li, knowing that you are happy, I want people to envy you, to be honest, I envy you very much!
For a lifetime, with such a family, who can be unhappy! congratulations! The ancestral grave of your Li family is really smoking. "
Old man Yan went back to the house with a heartbroken heart. Old man Li came here specially to pierce his heart, and his heart was filled with sourness!
How good things have made old man Li come across! God you are so unfair!
The 23rd (July 24th of the lunar calendar) is Li Xiaoyu's 13th birthday, the 24th (July 25th of the lunar calendar) is Li Chengyi's 17th birthday, and Li Chengji's 19th birthday is the 27th. (The twenty-eighth day of the seventh lunar month).
The three brothers and sisters who have never had a birthday, can't have a birthday this year either. Instead, he carried a hot boiled egg and went out with his luggage in the morning light.
Behind them are the four old people and Li Ma's reluctant eyes. The five of them keep waving to the three figures who are walking away, wishing them a safe journey.
When passing by the post office, Li Xiaoyu put a letter written to Wang Tietou into the mailbox, telling him that he would go to the capital to go to university and contact him when he arrived at a new place.
The three brothers and sisters arrived at the provincial capital station at 2:00 p.m. with their luggage on their backs. Li Chengyi looked at the crowd at the station and sighed with emotion.
"It really deserves to be the provincial capital. There are a lot more people in the car, and the clothes these people wear are better than those in the county town."
Li Xiaoyu suspected that Li Chengyi had a problem with his eyes. The style and color of the clothes these people wore were not much different from those in the county seat. Where did he look good-looking.
