14. Night talk
"Old man, you said that Li Changping's family is not poor, so why do you think of borrowing food from our family?
Is this still an orphan of a martyr?" The third aunt lay on the bed and asked her wife Yan Bugui next to her.
Yan Bugui did not open his eyes, but closed them, and said in a leisurely tone: "This Li Changping is a smart man!"
"Why are you so smart?"
The third aunt asked with some confusion.
"Look, Li Changping has been going to school, and this year he was admitted to university. If it hadn't been for something happening at home, he would have gone to university by now. How can such a person be a fool?
Okay, even if Li Changping is a fool and can only study stupidly, do you think he has spent money recklessly since his family disappeared?
No!
He was supposed to go to college in September, but was delayed due to family matters. So what will he do now?
If you go to college, the university may not accept you, so you can only go to work in a factory, or repeat high school for another year;
Of course, I will accept it due to special circumstances, but I have to come back to school!
Then tell me, his family is not short of money. Who is not short of food these days? Why does he want to borrow it from us?"
Yan Bugui closed his eyes and said calmly.
After listening to Yan Bugui's words, the third aunt thought for a long time and still couldn't figure out why. She could only push Yan Bugui and said, "Old man, tell me quickly, I don't understand!"
Yan Bugui opened his eyes helplessly, glanced at his wife through a dim moonlight, and then said: "He is picking someone up!"
"Who to choose?"
The third aunt did not feel sleepy at all, showing the professionalism of a gossip lover.
Yan Bugui said angrily: "He hasn't had much contact with the people in the yard since he was a child, and he doesn't know much about the situation in the yard, so naturally he has to choose who he can deal with and who he can't deal with.
Although Li Changping has not gone to college now, he is educated and knowledgeable. Even if he continues to take the exam next year, he can still get into college.
After being admitted to university, after graduating from university, you will become a cadre.
There is a saying that dragons do not live with snakes. When people become cadres in the future, they naturally have to pick and choose people to see who they can get along with and who they cannot."
"Then old man, why didn't you borrow food when Li Changping asked for it for the first time?" Although the third aunt felt that what Yan Bugui said was quite reasonable, she thought that Yan Bugui had no intention of borrowing food at the beginning. In the end,
Li Changping said that he borrowed it after consulting Director Wang, so he was a little confused.
When Yan Bugui heard the third aunt's words, he couldn't help but glare at the third aunt. However, under the darkness of the night, the third aunt naturally didn't see it.
Yan Bugui knew very well about his wife's character. He knew that if he didn't explain clearly, he wouldn't be able to sleep well today, so he continued to speak: "You also know the situation in our family. Then Li Changping spoke for the first time. I
I didn’t react at the time.
Later, when he talked about Director Wang, I think he wanted to see if Director Wang could do well in front of me, the third oldest man in the courtyard.
Of course, this is what I guessed too.
That was not to borrow food from Lao Yi. Lao Yi brought him twenty kilograms of stick noodles, and then left Lao Yi's house. Originally, I planned to go to Lao Liu's house, but Li Changping directly said it was too late, so I would not go to Lao Yi's house.
Gone.
That’s when I realized it.”
After hearing Yan Bugui's words, the third aunt's heart that listened to gossip calmed down.
But then he thought of something again and asked again: "Old man, do you think we should take more care of Li Changping in the future?"
"Care is for sure!
Giving help in times of need is much better than the icing on the cake.
Nowadays, Li Changping is just a piece of fat, and everyone wants to get some of it. Now that we have three kilograms of stick noodles, we can't let go." After Yan Bugui heard his wife's words, he supported the bed with both hands and raised his upper body slightly.
, said with a serious tone.
"Sure, I listen to you!"
Women of this era, with the exception of a few, are quite obedient to the words of their men.
When the third aunt heard what Yan Bugui said so seriously, she hurriedly responded.
After listening to the third aunt's words, Yan Bugui lay down on the bed again, took a nap, and said, "Go to sleep, it's getting late."
After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to the third aunt, turned over, and began to fall asleep.
And when Yan Bugui was communicating with the third aunt, the same was true for Yi Zhonghai's family.
Auntie said to Yi Zhonghai: "Zhonghai, what do you think of Li Changping?"
When Yi Zhonghai heard what Auntie said, after being married for so many years, he naturally understood what Auntie meant. After a moment of silence, he said, "She's not bad, but we can't control her!"
After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, the aunt couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked: "You are an eighth-level fitter, and he is just an apprentice when he enters the industry. Why can't you hold on?"
Yi Zhonghai sighed and said: "You should know that when Lao Li is not gone, he is setting up a banquet in the courtyard!"
"I know!
Didn’t it mean that Li Changping was admitted to Yenching University?
But didn't you go to school because of something else?" the eldest mother asked doubtfully.
"Let's not talk about whether he can still go to college because of family affairs. Then, tell me, he can get into college this year. If he repeats a year, can he get into college next year?" Yi Zhonghai did not try to discuss it with Auntie.
What is right or wrong? Instead, I turned around and asked my aunt.
The aunt thought for a while, and then said hesitantly: "I can pass the exam."
"Yes, I can pass the exam.
So since he can go to college, he will be a cadre after graduating from college.
Do you think we can hold him?
Even if he doesn't go to school but works in a factory, what do you think we can do to help him?
Technology? He is a top student. If he actually joins a factory, it is not clear whether he will leave the workshop.
Needless to say, money, Lao Li must have saved a lot of money over the years, plus various pensions from the factory, the street, and the police, Li Changping must have a lot of money in his hands.
As for food, although I don’t know why he borrowed food today, I guess it’s not just a lack of food.
Okay, let’s not mention this anymore. Today’s Dongxu is not bad, not to mention there are pillars.” Yi Zhonghai said a few words.
After a moment of silence, the eldest mother said, "It's all my fault that I didn't give you a son and a half."
"Forget it, let's go to bed, it's getting late!" Yi Zhonghai paused for a moment, then turned around and patted the aunt on the shoulder and said.
