The old lady sighed: "Oh, okay, let it go. I don't know how many years it will take to live in this day. Just save it."
"I know, Mom! "
Seeing that the old lady was a little depressed, Li Bowen came over and said, "Grandma, let me tell you something interesting in the city!"
"Okay, tell me about it. I love to hear what’s new in the city!"
Leaving Li Bowen to accompany the old lady, Li Dahai and his wife rolled up their sleeves and started cleaning up the yard.
The old man waited until dark before returning in the afterglow of the setting sun.
He was carrying a rabbit in his hand and a basket on his back.
Seeing Li Dahai who was cleaning up the yard: "Dahai, Huifen, you are back. Where is my eldest grandson?"
Li Dahai smiled helplessly: "Dad , I’m your son, why don’t you ask your grandson first?”
“What’s so good about you?”
“Okay, okay, you. The eldest grandson is in the house!"
The old man laughed: "Grandson, come and see what good things grandpa got!"
Li Bowen hurriedly heard the sound. Walked out of the house and took the rabbit from the old man's hand: "Grandpa, you have gained a lot today. This rabbit must be three or four pounds!"
"No, you are lucky. This rabbit knows that my eldest grandson is coming back, so he goes straight into the bag."
"Then let's eat it tonight. I'll call my third uncle and the others!" Li Bowen said and was about to go out. Walk.
"No, no, boss, you go and call me. Boss, wife, hurry up and pack up this rabbit. There are fungus and mushrooms in the basket, let's stew them together!" The old man arranged it clearly.
Back in the house, Li Bowen took out a cigarette from his bag as if it was a treasure: "Grandpa, I brought this for you. Don't smoke your dry cigarette all the time. It's weird. Smoke some." Okay!"
The old man picked up the cigarette and looked at it carefully: "It's a lot of money, why are you spending this wasted money? You only earn a few, I smoke dry cigarettes and it's quite good. You have to keep it to get a wife!”
“It didn’t cost much. I used to earn less as an apprentice, but it’s different now. I have become a second-level worker and I have the money to honor you!” "
"Okay, okay, my eldest grandson is promising. It seems that it is right to let you go to the city!" The old man nodded with satisfaction.
While chatting, the topic of getting a wife came again.
The old lady asked: "My eldest grandson, you are 21 this year. Do you have a girl you like? Has your uncle asked someone to help you find a matchmaker?"
" Having said that, I’m not satisfied with how many people I’ve met! If I want to marry, I’ll marry a beautiful one!” You can’t be too picky, titsI’m still waiting to hold my great-grandson! "
"I know, don't worry, I will let you have your great-grandson as soon as possible! "Li Bowen agreed wholeheartedly.
"She will sweeten me with words. I think the granddaughter of the old man in our village, Mr. Chen, is pretty good. Why don't we settle on her? "
"The granddaughter of Mr. Chen's family? Are you talking about Sister Chen Qiao? "
The old lady nodded: "Yes, even though that girl is three years older than you, but a female junior holds gold bricks, older people know how to hurt people! "
"Grandma, are you confused? Didn't Chen Qiao get married a few years ago? "
"You are confused. Not long after Xiao Nizi got married, her son-in-law disappeared, and he is back long ago! "

Li Bowen looked at his grandma in surprise: "Isn't that a second marriage? "
"What's wrong with my second marriage? I didn't have any children. I watched that girl grow up. She is tall and healthy, and her body is easy to give birth to. The key is that she has a good personality and can stay at home with peace of mind. If If I marry you a restless girl, can you safely leave her at home? "
"No, then you can't let me marry a second marriage! "
Before he finished speaking, Li Bowen was slapped on the back of the head by his grandfather: "Ouch, it hurts! ”
“You damn old man, you don’t know that my eldest grandson’s head is still wrapped in gauze!” "The old lady immediately became anxious.
"I forgot, I was so excited! "The old man only regretted it after the beating.
"Grandson, listen to grandpa! You have to choose from three families, so you have to be extra cautious when looking for a wife, and you have to find someone who knows the basics and is calm! "As he said that, the old man took out some pieces of paper from the drawer and handed them to Li Bowen.
After taking the pieces of paper and looking carefully, there were two names on the paper, namely Li Zhongwen and Li Shuwen.
Li Bowen was a little confused and said: "Grandpa, what is this?" "
"This is your new name. I specially asked the gentleman in our village to pick it up. I will go and apply for a household registration for you later. "The old man nodded.
"Grandpa, I'm afraid this won't work, it's illegal! "Li Bowen couldn't help but be impressed by his grandfather's operation.
"What kind of law is it breaking? What kind of law would it be for you to name one of your uncle and your third uncle? "
"Of course it's a national law. Grandpa, I know what you think, but now the country stipulates that you can only marry one person and get one marriage certificate. Too many are not enough! "Li Bowen quickly explained to the old man.
"Then I don't care. I can't let your uncle and third uncle's family lose their incest. If you can't ask for the certificate, then don't ask for the certificate. Just hold a banquet in the village. Your daughter-in-law in the city doesn't care about her grandparents, she can do as you like, but the one in the village must follow our arrangements? "The old man said with a serious face.
"But can people agree? ”
"You don't have to worry about it. In these famine years, ten pounds of grain can be exchanged for a wife. If our family is willing, can her family agree?"
Looking at the eager expressions of the old couple From the look in his eyes, Li Bowen knew that it would be impossible if he didn't agree.
He had no choice but to nod: "Okay, let it be whatever you say!"
"Hey, this is right. You must listen to grandpa! In this way, the three of our family There’s no need to stop at all!” The old man smiled and stroked his beard.
Li Bowen sighed in his heart, why do I feel so stressed? It seems that we have to hurry up when it comes to making money, otherwise we won’t be able to support our family.
When it was time for dinner, grandfather, uncle, third uncle, and Li Bowen were sitting at the dining table in the main room, while the women were eating at the small table on the kang in the back room.
"Third uncle, can we still receive anything in the village?"
Third uncle Li Dahe put down his chopsticks: "Then what do you have to look at? Every family doesn't have much food. Don't worry. There may be some more, what do you want to collect?”
“That’s right, I contacted the canteen of our factory and I can sell them some unplanned supplies, such as eggs, mushrooms, and bacon. , pheasants, hares, and fish are all fine!”
“How many are needed?”
“The more, the better. Our factory has a capacity of 10,000 people and consumes a lot of food every day. It’s amazing, I can collect any amount. You can exchange it with money, food, or tickets!”
“Oh, that’s easy. I’ll contact you tomorrow and I should be able to collect it.” There are a lot of fish in the reservoir next to us, just go down the net and catch them!"
"Well, I promise, uncle, you won't do this. Will something happen?"
Li Dahe laughed miserably: "What can happen? People are starving to death and it doesn't matter if something happens to him or not. Go and see who has food on the table in our village. ”
