After discussing the wedding matters, it was already past ten in the morning. Li Shankui and his wife were thinking about the beans in the field, so they left Li Na to take care of Tang Ying and hurried to the field to work.
And Tang Ying felt a bit awkward staying at the Li family's place, but she was also embarrassed to go back to the educated youth spot, fearing that others would say she was not proper.
Helplessly, Li Na had to accompany her to the back hill to relax!
Soon, there was only Li You left at home. At this moment, he finally had time to seriously think about what to do next!
He went back to the house to find a piece of paper and half a pencil, and then Li You came to the big willow tree in the yard.
He spread the paper on the big millstone and thought for a while with the pen in his hand. Then, Li You's eyes gradually became firm, and he began to write furiously!
Ten minutes later, looking at the small 'list' in front of him, Li You showed a satisfied smile.
The content on the list was very simple:
The first item: Make every effort to prepare for the wedding, marry Tang Ying gloriously and make her truly accept him.
The second item: Earn money to build a house and improve the family's living conditions!
The third item: Help Tang Ying get into a key university!
The fourth item: Save the eldest sister's life and avoid the tragedy!
The fifth item: Take the father for a physical examination...
Slowly putting down the pen in his hand, Li You had a faint smile on his face.
Although the life was poor and the materials were scarce at present, his heart was joyful.
Unlike in the previous life, although he had hundreds of billions of assets, he was so poor that there was only money left. When he died, there was no family member by his side. That kind of loneliness and solitude was even more terrifying than poverty.
Since God gave him a chance to choose again, then he must live this life happily and without regrets!
As for now, the most important and urgent thing is to make money! https://www.x81zw.co
The wedding was settled like this, but money was always a big problem.
In this era, getting married also emphasized pomp, although there was no need for a house, a car, a wedding convoy or a wedding company, etc., but the betrothal gift was indispensable.
Tang Ying's betrothal gift was only 88 yuan, which sounded not much.
But now an industrial worker earns about twenty-seven or twenty-eight yuan a month, and 88 yuan is equivalent to the salary of an industrial worker not eating or drinking for three months.
In rural areas, maybe a whole year wouldn't be able to save that much.
In addition, if the family was in a condition to prepare the "three turns and one sound", that is, a bicycle, a sewing machine, a watch and a radio.
Although from the perspective of later generations, these were all ordinary things, but in this era, it was indeed the highest configuration of household items that ordinary people wanted to have.
At the same time, the "three turns and one sound" was not only the highest wealth that ordinary people could have in this era, but also one of the important criteria for most women when choosing a spouse.
If a family could take out the "three turns and one sound", the matchmaker would break the threshold of their house.
Tang Ying was originally from the city and marrying Li You, a rural boy, was indeed marrying down. Moreover, she gave up the chance to return to the city inexplicable and lost her body. So this marriage couldn't avoid being pointed at and talked about.
To stop the villagers' gossip, the best way was to hold this wedding gloriously and let everyone see that Tang Ying marrying into the Li family was not forced, but that she had good eyesight.
She married into the Li family not to give up the superior life in the city and come to the countryside to suffer, but to enjoy the blessings.
So, although father Li Shankui only promised to prepare a watch for Tang Ying, Li You was determined to prepare all the "three turns and one sound".
Of course, the items that could be regarded as family wealth were all quite valuable. Take the bicycle for example, at least 120 yuan, and it was also purchased by ticket. It might not be possible to buy it even if you had money.
To prepare all the "three turns and one sound", it would cost at least 400 yuan. If you wanted big brands, 500 yuan might not be enough to prepare them.
Coupled with the betrothal gift and the money for the wedding banquet, it was conservatively estimated to need seven or eight hundred yuan.
But Li You knew the situation of his family. To describe it in one word, that was - poor!
In the previous years, there were many family members and the children had to go to school, basically not much money was saved.
In the past few years, as Li You's eldest sister and second sister got married, the situation of the family was slightly better, but with Li You, such a prodigal son, not much money was saved either.
So it was obviously not very likely to rely on the family members to hold the wedding gloriously. Everything still depended on him.
This was also the reason why Li You set the wedding date one month later. He had to prepare all the "three turns and one sound" and Tang Ying's betrothal gift within one month.
Li You wasn't worried about making money. After all, he had the memory of his previous life. It wasn't a difficult thing to make money.
For example, if he remembered correctly, there was a general's tomb buried under the cliff behind the village, and a large amount of gold and silver jewelry was buried with it.
As long as he quietly opened the ancient tomb and took out part of the burial items and sold them, he could become rich instantly.
But Li You didn't want to do this. In this reborn life, he wanted to make money cleanly with his own hands. He hoped that every penny spent on his family members was clean.
It's just how to earn seven or eight hundred yuan within a month, which really needed to be carefully considered!
....
Looking at the time, it was already past eleven. The parents were working in the field and obviously couldn't come back to cook. The third sister was accompanying Tang Ying, so Li You decided to cook by himself and make lunch for the family.
When he went back to the house and looked carefully, he found that there was only half a vat of white flour in the big vat where the family stored rice and grains, and nothing else.
Not to mention meat, even the most common eggs in rural areas didn't exist!
Li You knew that the eggs in the family must have been taken by the mother to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for daily necessities again.
Looking at the ingredients "searched" out in front of him, Li You couldn't help showing a wry smile!
A clever woman can't cook without rice. His cooking skills were good, but they were all based on abundant ingredients and complete seasonings.
Just giving him half a vat of white flour really stumped him!
He knew that the materials were scarce in this era, but it was really beyond Li You's expectation to be scarce to this extent.
It was already the 1980s, and the coastal areas had already opened up. Why was it still so poor!
Maybe just steam a cage of steamed buns and cook a pot of porridge. Usually, the mother did the same.
But thinking that Tang Ying should eat at his house at noon today, this was the first meal that his own wife ate after confirming the relationship. It couldn't be casually perfunctory.
Besides, it was summer now, and it was really not appealing to eat steamed buns and drink hot porridge at noon.
Suddenly, Li You thought of a kind of delicacy that could be made with flour - cold skin!
The hot summer easily makes people lose their appetite, which is undoubtedly torture for foodies.
For this, there are no shortage of countermeasures all over the country, and the answer given by the northerners is cold skin.
The "cold" of cold skin determines that it has an unbreakable bond with the hot summer.
Under the scorching heat and high temperature, what could be more appetizing than the spicy and sour cold skin?
Thinking of this, Li You no longer hesitated and immediately took action!
