Chapter 1065: Thinking of family

It wasn't that Wang An didn't want to stay at Huang Li's house for a while, but the situation at Huang Li's house made it impossible to stay long.

If he stayed too long and Huang Baoguo thought Wang An wanted to eat at his house, then Wang An's trip to his house would be considered making things difficult for their family.

The main thing was that the conditions at Huang Baoguo's house were truly too poor. For a family that lived on mushrooms and wild vegetables every day, what could they use to entertain Wang An for a meal?

Although Huang Baoguo had received 400 yuan from Wang An, for a family living in a dugout and lacking food and clothing, there were too many places where money was needed. 400 yuan for such a family could only solve an urgent need.

After Wang An finished speaking, Huang Li continued to smile:

"Yeah, just a look is enough. I'll be satisfied with just a look, giggle giggle."

Although there were only sixteen or seventeen li between the two families, it wasn't easy for Huang Li to go back. It took more than two hours to walk over mountains and ridges. So it was clear that as long as she could go home and see, Huang Li was satisfied.

While laughing, Huang Li suddenly turned to look at Mu Xueqing and said:

"Sister-in-law, can I take one of the sets of clothes you gave me for my younger sister?"

Mu Xueqing was stunned upon hearing this, and then laughed:

"Take them if you want. The clothes I gave you are yours. You can decide for yourself."

In this era, old clothes were still good things and could be considered property. So, except for particularly wealthy families, there was no such thing as not taking old clothes seriously.

In fact, until the end of the 90s, and even into the 21st century, there were people specifically selling old clothes, and the business was quite good.

After Mu Xueqing finished speaking, Huang Li drank the porridge in her bowl quickly, finished the half bun in her hand in a few bites, and said to everyone:

"Uncle, Aunt, Brother, Sister-in-law, Xiaomei, Xiaoli, you all eat slowly."

Following this, Huang Li said to Liu Guilan:

"Aunt, I'm going to tidy up my things, and I'll be back to clean the table immediately."

Liu Guilan said with a smile:

"The food is still on the table, no need to rush. I'll clean the table after you finish eating."

Having received Liu Guilan's permission, Huang Li said:

"It's fine, Aunt, I can finish cleaning very quickly."

When she said the last few words, the voice came from outside, which showed how excited Huang Li was at this moment.

After Huang Li left, Liu Guilan suddenly asked somewhat puzzled:

"She's only been here for a few days, and she didn't bring anything when she came. What does she have to tidy up?"

After Liu Guilan finished speaking, Wang An and Wang Dazhu were also puzzled, because Huang Li was brought back by Wang An. Wang An clearly remembered that even the clothes Huang Li was wearing when she came were temporarily taken off her younger brother Huang Zhong. Otherwise, Huang Li wouldn't even have clothes to wear.

After a while, Mu Xueqing laughed:

"Eight out of ten, she's tidying up the biscuits and sweets I gave her these past few days. I haven't seen her eat any of the things I gave her. I reckon she's saving them up, probably wanting to leave them for her younger brother and sister, hehehe..."

Wang An's family's biscuits, sweets, canned food, malted milk, and soda—it could be said that from the time Wang An was reborn and went to the county town until now, they had basically never been in short supply.

Of course, as for the sweets, Liu Guilan had been hiding them before, only giving the two little girls one or two to satisfy their cravings every day. Later, when they could be bought without coupons, Wang An bought a large pile, and the two little girls were fed until they were sick of them.

To be accurate, they weren't sick of them, but they didn't take sweets seriously anymore. Sometimes they would eat one when they thought of it, and sometimes they wouldn't miss them if they didn't think of them.

Mu Xueqing's words stunned everyone.

The main thing was that everyone had never expected that Huang Li, this girl, was so thoughtful about her family.

It was just that although Huang Li's approach was touching, Wang An's family tacitly didn't mention sending anything to Huang Baoguo's family.

Because there was a good old saying: "Help the urgent, not the poor."

Huang Baoguo's family being poor was their own business. If Wang An's family took the initiative to help, they wouldn't get any gratitude in the end, but might instead form a grudge.

Besides, Wang An's family's money didn't come from a strong wind, so how could it be sent out so easily? No one owed anyone anything.

Wang An and the others hadn't finished eating yet when Huang Li ran back. Seeing this, Liu Guilan hurriedly said:

"Little Li, you haven't eaten your fill yet, right? Sit down and eat some more."

Mu Xueqing also followed up:

"Exactly. You ran off before you finished eating. Why are you in such a hurry? Eat some more, otherwise, you'll be hungry before noon."

Huang Li didn't know if she was too excited to eat or if she was truly full, but she hurriedly waved her hand:

"Aunt, I'm full, I'm really full."

Liu Guilan and Mu Xueqing persuaded her a few more times, and only then did Huang Li sit back at the table and eat half a bun.

It had to be said, oil has a direct impact on a person's appetite.

One had to know that when Huang Li first came, no one in the family could eat as much as she could. But after these few days of meat supply, Huang Li's appetite for every meal had clearly started to decline.

After breakfast, just as Wang An was carrying a bucket to refuel the sidecar, Shen Wei suddenly came over, saying she wanted to ask Wang An for help with wiring and installing electric lights.

Wang An naturally wouldn't refuse such a small matter. However, since Wang An was going to Weizigou, Wang An calculated the time and felt that even if he finished connecting the electric wires for Shen Wei's house, he would have plenty of time, so he agreed.

The main thing was that Shen Wei's house was an earthen house, and the two main lines could run under the eaves. Wiring and installing light bulbs would be very fast.

And most importantly, Wang An hadn't had sex for several days. To tell the truth, he was truly feeling quite stifled.

Wang An told his family, mainly telling Huang Li that he would go to Weizigou a bit later, and then followed Shen Wei to her house.

It had to be said, although Wang An's house was very close to Shen Wei's, it was truly not very convenient for Wang An to go to Shen Wei's house to have sex with her at any time.

Because besides working in the fields with Wang Dazhu and his wife, Shen Wei was also never idle all day.

In fact, this time when Kaoshan Village got electricity, the higher-ups had sent electricians to help with wiring and installing light bulbs.

After all, electricity was a novelty at this time, and rural people truly didn't understand this stuff.

It was just that these two electricians were damn slow. After so many days, they had only finished installing for half of the 80-plus households in the village.

One had to know that the vast majority of families only installed three light bulbs, and the main lines were all placed under the eaves, so whether it was wiring or installation, it could be said to be very simple.

Yet, people just worked that slowly, and were just that sluggish. Who could do anything to them?

Thanks to "Emperor of the Great Empire" for the tip, thank you, thank you, thank you very much!

Wishing you, Big Brother, happiness and joy every day, and may you get rich every day.
