Bombs In terms of "power of words", Li Jintang is not even worthy of carrying shoes for the "Village Intelligence Group".
Propaganda and public opinion are very important, so Li Xiang wants to deal with this mysterious organization.
Of course, it's just a joke. Li Xiang is actually a very polite person.
After chatting with the members of the intelligence group for seven or eight minutes, Li Xiang received a lot of praise.
For example, some people said that he was filial and went home to serve his grandmother very well. This was a good thing in ancient times.
Some people said that he was careful and knew to bring cakes to everyone. He was sensible, unlike someone in someone's family who walked around after returning.
Some people said that he bought a good refrigerator. My family also has this brand, and the quality is excellent.
Some people said that you will stay in the village in the future, and it's time to get married. Wait for your aunt to help you find a wife. I guarantee that she will be handsome and have a big butt. You will be satisfied!
...
The only thing that makes Li Xiang regretful is that his grandmother is old, has difficulty walking, and likes quietness, so she didn't join this "intelligence group".
Think about grandma, who is alone in the countryside, and her life is actually very boring. It was undoubtedly the right decision to give up the so-called "opportunities" in the big city and come back to serve the elderly in their old age.
After saying goodbye to the "aunties" and "grandmothers", Li Xiang drove his tricycle and continued to head home.
The "intelligence station" was set up under the big willow tree at the east end of the village, and the outermost house at the west end of the village was his home.
It was still more than a hundred meters away from home. At the door, two big yellow dogs who were enjoying the cool under the shade of the tree were stunned at first, and then they jumped up, shook their heads and tails, and ran to greet them.
Li Xiang couldn't help but grin: "I haven't been back for so long, you can recognize me!"
These are the two loyal dogs raised by my grandmother, very spiritual.
Li Xiang drove the tricycle and drove to his home with the two big yellow dogs jumping on the left and right to greet him.
When the elderly grandmother heard the noise, she had already walked out with difficulty on crutches. When she saw Li Xiang, she was immediately excited and tears flowed.
"Grandma, I'm back!" Li Xiang jumped out of the car, walked quickly to his grandmother, and gave her a gentle hug.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" Grandma wiped her tears and was very happy.
"Grandma, this is for you." Li Xiang helped his grandmother sit on a chair beside him, and then took out the gifts, six red ginsengs, three sets of clothes, moon cakes, peach slices, ginger cakes, etc.
He also prepared gifts for his grandparents, which were packaged separately.
Grandma smiled and said, "My grandson has really grown up. Xiang'er, how long will you be back this time?" She thought Li Xiang was just going home temporarily to visit.
Li Xiang smiled and said, "I won't go out in the future. I will farm at home and take care of you!"
"Ah?" Grandma was shocked, and then sad again, thinking that it was all my fault that she dragged her grandson down. If I had died earlier, my grandson would not have been confined to this countryside, but would have soared in the big city.
But she didn't know that even if Li Xiang didn't come back, he couldn't fly high in the big city. Unless the end of the world comes.
The end of the world is coming. For a reborn person like Li Xiang who is from the bottom of society and has the end of the world system, it is a real opportunity to soar to the sky.
"Grandma, you take a rest first, I'll go move things first!" Li Xiang began to move supplies to the house swiftly.
First, he carried the large refrigerator in, found a corner to put it down, and let it sit for a while before using it later.
Other supplies were also moved in, and the luggage was taken to his room.
Grandma followed in with a cane, and said apologetically: "I didn't know you were coming back, and the room was not cleaned up." Then she put down the cane and went to the cabinet to get the sheets and quilt covers.
Li Xiang hurriedly stopped him: "It's okay, I'll make the bed myself later. Grandma, you take a rest!" How could he let the old man do it? In his "memory", grandma was in poor health and would pass away in five years.
He hoped that in this life, he would take care of grandma's diet and daily life, so that grandma could live longer.
Li Xiang saw a lot of gifts in the living room, such as grapes, bananas, milk, cakes, and mooncakes. He asked his grandmother curiously, "Who came to see you?"
His grandmother said, "Your aunt came. She cooked a meal for me at noon. She was playing at home, and then Xiaorong came back, so she asked her to play mahjong with her."
"Xiaorong" is Li Rong, who is the same age as Li Xiang's aunt Li Caihong. They are childhood friends. Every time Li Rong goes back to her parents' home, she asks Li Xiang if his aunt has come back. If she has, she will definitely play with her.
Li Xiang nodded to show that he understood, but then his face darkened and he asked, "Then the eldest and second aunts didn't come?"
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's so late, almost four o'clock in the afternoon. If they didn't come, they probably wouldn't have come.
Grandma lowered her head, drooped her eyelids, and sighed softly.
She has a son and three daughters. Her son and daughter-in-law died in a natural disaster in 2008. Because the disaster happened in another place, they couldn't even find their bodies. They had no choice but to build a tomb.
The three daughters had different experiences. The eldest daughter married a man from a neighboring village. The man was doing business in the county. The whole family also settled in the county town. They had a car and a house, and they lived a prosperous life.
The second daughter married another ordinary working class in another county town 200 kilometers away.
The third daughter is Li Xiang's aunt Li Caihong, who has the most miserable life.
Li Caihong was quite beautiful when she was young, but she was born in the countryside and had a low level of education. Then... she was deceived by a yellow-haired man.
At that time, Li Xiang's father and grandmother were both strongly opposed, but they couldn't resist Li Xiang's aunt's desire to marry, so she married.
In the second year of marriage, when the child was less than one year old, the man committed a crime and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. It should be the 16th year now, and he has not yet been released
. Li Xiang's aunt was also tough. She did not remarry. She raised her son alone and worked in the county town. She still rents a house. The son did not live up to his expectations. Like his father, he also became a yellow-haired man. He entered the society after graduating from junior high school last year. Now he is said to be a waiter in a KTV.
Of the three daughters, only the youngest daughter who was doing the worst came to visit during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Li Xiang felt sorry for his younger aunt and was naturally quite angry.
The second aunt's house was far away, which was fine. The eldest aunt's house was in the county town, and her family had several cars. The road conditions were not bad, and it would only take half an hour to drive back.
"Xiang'er, don't be angry. Look, isn't that your uncle? Isn't he here?" Li Xiang's grandmother suddenly laughed happily.
Li Xiang looked and saw that a black Volkswagen was slowly approaching with the windows open. It was indeed his uncle.
Li Xiang's face lightened up a little. It's good that he's here. Although he didn't seem to see his eldest aunt and it was a little late.
"Maybe he was afraid of bothering grandma to make lunch, so he deliberately chose to come a little late?" Li Xiang thought.
Soon, the uncle parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car and took out a box of "Six Walnuts" from the trunk, and walked quickly towards the door.
"Mom, are you feeling well? Li Xiang, you're back too? When did you come back? Oh, you even bought a tricycle?" The uncle smiled and put the gift at grandma's feet. Then his eyes fell on the tricycle, and a hint of contempt flashed across his eyes. Li Xiang was in a slightly better mood, but when he took a glance, he saw that the gift was not six walnuts, but "six nuclear bombs" were clearly written on it!
Oh my god, my uncle-in-law does business in the county, how could he not recognize six nuclear bombs? Was he doing this on purpose, or on purpose? He probably didn't prepare anything specially, and just bought a cheap one at a roadside stall.
Moreover, it was a big festival, and there was not even a loose mooncake.
Li Xiang wanted to offer a cigarette, but he snorted and ignored him, and just said to his grandmother: "It's getting late, grandma, I'll make you dinner." He went straight to the kitchen.
Uncle-in-law: "..."
He sneered and said to his mother-in-law: "Xiao Xiang has a bad temper. To put it bluntly, his emotional intelligence is too low. I'm afraid he won't be able to get along in society in the future, and he will suffer a great loss."
Li Xiang's grandmother remembered what Li Xiang said before, that he would not go out in the future and would stay at home. She couldn't help but worry, could it be that her grandson was wronged outside? So she said to her son-in-law: "He is young and does not understand the ways of the world. As his uncle, you should help him more in the future."
"No problem, leave it to me!" The uncle patted his chest cheerfully, but sneered in his heart, want me to help you? It is better to help my son than to help you.
"Where is Yu'er? Why doesn't she come back?" Grandma Li Xiang still wanted to see her eldest daughter.
Uncle Li Xiang lit a cigarette, sat on the chair with his legs crossed, puffed out smoke, and said: "The family has opened a new tile shop, and the business is very good. She is busy looking after the shop. She also wants to come back, but she is too busy, so she asked me to say hello to you."
In fact, he came in the morning and went to his hometown in the neighboring village first. He had been playing until now and was about to go back to the city, so he came to visit by the way to avoid being accused of being ignorant of etiquette.
"Oh." Grandma Li Xiang said nothing.
After finishing a cigarette, the uncle said, "Mom, it's getting late. I won't stay any longer. I'll come to see you next time." As he spoke, he glanced at the chickens walking around the door, and then stared at the three ducks not far away.
Li Xiang's grandmother said, "Let me help you catch a chicken and take it back."
The uncle was delighted and said quickly, "No, no, I'll do it myself. You just bring some grain and lead them over." He stood up and went to Li Xiang's house to find a snakeskin bag.
Li Xiang saw it in the kitchen and couldn't help but curl his lips. But if grandma said she wanted to give it to me, then she would give it to me. After all, these chickens and ducks were all raised by grandma.
Soon, grandma scattered the grain, and the chickens and ducks gathered around.
The uncle was quick-witted and scooped up with both hands, and immediately caught two fat hens. The rest of the chickens and ducks saw this and ran away immediately.
"Mom, another duck." The uncle put the chicken into the snakeskin bag and tied the bag.
Grandma frowned, but still started to spread the grain and called the chickens and ducks over.
The chickens and ducks might be stupid, or they might trust their owner, and more than ten of them still came around.
Seeing this, the uncle-in-law used the same trick again, and swiftly grabbed a duck and stuffed it into the snakeskin bag. Oh my god
, Li Xiang couldn't stand it anymore, and walked out quickly and snatched the snakeskin bag.
"What are you doing?" The uncle-in-law was angry and shouted angrily.
Li Xiang raised his eyebrows and said, "What gift did you bring to grandma? You want to take our two chickens and a duck? You are a city person, don't you know the value of these chickens and ducks?"
"Tsk, how much can two chickens and a duck be worth? You are a big man, how can you be as stingy as a woman?" The uncle-in-law laughed contemptuously again.
Li Xiang said, "Even if it is worthless, it is dozens of times more expensive than your six fake nuclear bombs! You are not stingy, the big boss is driving, and you bring such garbage?"
"You! You are simply crazy."
"Get out!" Li Xiang couldn't stand it anymore. It's not just because of the other party's behavior today, but because of the other party's ugly face for more than 20 years. In the past, Li Xiang was not in charge of the family, and his parents were honest, so they were bullied. Now, he doesn't want to spoil the other party.
It's better not to have such relatives.
The uncle was shaking with anger and raised his hand. Li Xiang glared at him, what, you still want to fight with me?
The uncle was frightened by Li Xiang's sharp eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. He retracted his hand and said angrily: "With your emotional intelligence, you are not worthy of carrying shoes with your cousin."
Naturally, he meant that he was not as good as his son.
He turned around and left, and soon the car drove away.
Li Xiang's grandmother sighed and said, "Xiang'er, you've gone too far. This will make your aunt lose face."
Li Xiang said speechlessly, "Grandma, when did people look up to you? Look at what fake and shoddy products you bought. I tell you, these six nuclear bombs are fake. They are at most thirty yuan. It's not cheap, but the key is that you are old. What if you eat them and damage your health?"
"If your aunt is really filial, can't she put her business aside for a while? Can't she spare even half a day?"
As she said that, she opened the box of junk drinks, took out three cans, and poured them into the dog bowl.
Seeing this, the two big yellow dogs came over to lick the drinks and ate them deliciously.
On the roof, a pregnant old tabby cat saw this, jumped down to the ground nimbly, and also came over.
Li Xiang suddenly felt a little regretful. The big yellow dog might be fine after eating, but this old cat was pregnant. What if it had a miscarriage? She immediately stopped him, emptied the dog bowl and cleaned it. As for the rest, she would find a chance to throw it away.
Seeing Li Xiang busying around, grandma suddenly felt... a little more confident.
It's good to have her grandson's support. In fact, she is over seventy years old. Although she is not well educated, she can still tell who is good to her and who is bad to her.
Not long after, the aunt came back. Grandma was very happy, and the little unhappiness just now disappeared.
Li Xiang greeted the aunt and talked about the matter just now. The aunt gave a thumbs up and thought Li Xiang did the right thing.
He also persuaded her mother: "Mom, you are so old, don't always think about others, you should enjoy yourself. Don't you keep the local chickens and ducks for yourself? Even if you don't eat them, it's good to keep them for eggs."
Li Xiang invited the aunt to dinner. Although it was a common meal, the family ate happily.
Before leaving, the aunt gave her old mother 200 yuan.
Grandma naturally refused, saying that she had bought so many things, so she didn't want the money. It was not easy for her. The aunt said that she won the money from playing mahjong. Maybe God knew that she should be filial to her mother, so he made her lucky today.
Li Xiang gave the two chickens and a duck that his uncle had just caught to his aunt. He didn't let the chicken and duck go just now because he was waiting for this moment.
The aunt couldn't refuse, so she only took a chicken and invited Li Xiang to her home and made him delicious food.
