How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 370: Being a son-in-law has this benefit
Li Le was just about to get dressed when his brother-in-law Nie Wei woke up and asked, "Brother-in-law, why are you up so early?"

"It's okay. I'll get up as soon as I wake up. You can sleep a little longer."

"Oh!" Brother-in-law Nie Wei agreed and got back into bed.

Yes, for a teenager, it’s the right time to sleep in.

Fortunately, it’s winter vacation now. I wonder if I would still sleep in if I were in school.

When Li Le came out of the house, his father-in-law and mother-in-law had already gotten up and were packing the things they brought back in the main room.

"Hey, Xiaole, why did you get up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" asked the mother-in-law.

"I don't want to lie down when I wake up."

Hearing what Li Le said, the father-in-law said: "Young people should be like this, otherwise it is easy to become lazy."

The mother-in-law pushed the father-in-law and said, "What laziness! It's snowing! There's nothing to do."

"Too."

The mother-in-law looked at Li Le and said, "Hurry up and sit down and have a rest. Breakfast will be ready soon."

"It's okay. I drove all day yesterday and don't want to sit again."

To be honest, driving for a whole day is nothing to Li Le, but there is one thing, that is, his butt is uncomfortable.

Sitting for more than ten hours at a time, no one would be comfortable!
"Okay, then you can go for a walk. It's a good way to exercise and avoid getting cold."

"Yeah!" Li Le nodded.

Li Le came outside. It was no longer snowing, but there was a thick layer of snow on the ground.

Of course, this is talking about the outside. The yard has been cleaned. Needless to say, it must have been cleaned by my father-in-law after he got up.

Li Le came out of the yard and looked into the distance. Everything was white.

In Li Le’s hometown, it has been many years since we have seen such heavy snow, but here, this is considered light snow.

Of course, Li Le was a stranger here, and he couldn't just walk around aimlessly, so he just walked around the gate and then went back to the house.

At this time, Nie Weiwei and her sister-in-law had already gotten up, as did her brother-in-law.

But looking at my brother-in-law's behavior, he must be reluctant to do it, because he can tie a donkey's mouth.

"Honey, I'll get you some hot water, wash up first."

Now that there are no outsiders around, the girl stops pretending and goes right back to being the way she was in the imperial capital.

"No, I can do it myself."

"Oh, you're not familiar with this, how do you know where to get hot water? You'd better stay here!"

Hearing Nie Weiwei say this, Li Le touched his nose. It was true!
Soon Nie Weiwei brought him the water for washing his face and a toothbrush with toothpaste squeezed in it.

"Thank you!"

Li Le finished washing up quickly, then took the water for washing his face and poured it out.

The brother-in-law quickly came over, took the basin and said, "Brother-in-law, I'll do it."

"Oh! Good!"

Li Le thought that the boy wanted the basin to wash his face, but it turned out that he didn't want it, but to help carry the basin.

This made Li Le speechless! It was just a basin, but he was already exhausted.

"Brother-in-law, it's time for dinner." The sister-in-law shouted at this time.

"Coming." Li Le agreed and hurried into the house.

The food had already been served, including cornmeal porridge, meat patties, and of course, pickles and scrambled eggs with green onions.

To be honest, this is already very good. There is nothing we can do about the weather here, so it is rare to eat fresh vegetables.

Of course, this is referring to the village. If you live in a town or a county town, it will be different.

It would be fine to live closer to the town, but this place is more than ten kilometers away from the town. When it snows, it takes almost an hour to drive there. Who would go to the town to buy things at this time!

Li Le could totally understand it. After all, even if the vegetables were placed in the cellar, there wouldn’t be any green vegetables.

"Come on, Xiaole, sit down and eat." said the mother-in-law.

"Okay auntie."

After Li Le sat down, Nie Weiwei quickly served him a bowl of corn porridge and said, "This is what we have in the morning. I'll go to the village store and see if there's any millet to buy back."

"No need, this cornmeal porridge is also good. It's not like it's unpalatable." Li Le said.

"Come, have a meat pie." The mother-in-law put a big meat pie on a plate and handed it to Li Le.

This meat patty is really substantial. Not only is it big, but it’s also very thick, and there’s a lot of ingredients in one piece.

But the taste is really good. No wonder Nie Weiwei is so good at cooking. It turns out she learned it from her mother-in-law!

Li Le ate two at once and stopped eating, leaving his brother-in-law stunned.

I guess he was thinking, this brother-in-law is such a big eater, he ate two such big meat patties at once.

Of course, this boy is not stupid. He just thought about it and didn’t say it out loud.

After dinner, Nie Weiwei, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law went to the kitchen to clean up.

Li Le took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to his father-in-law.

"No need, I'll take this one, you can take that one yourself!" Looking at the Chinese Dragon that Li Le handed over, the father-in-law said hurriedly.

"Uncle, it's just a cigarette. No matter how expensive it is, you still smoke it!" After saying that, he handed it directly to his father-in-law.

At this point, what else could the father-in-law say? He could only touch it and put it in his mouth.

"Alas! This cigarette costs more than 2,000 yuan. Many children in the village who work in the county town cannot even earn this much money in a month."

"Uh!"

Li Le didn't know how to respond to what they were talking about that day.

Just at this time, my brother-in-law came out of the house and said, "Dad, how can this be the same? My brother-in-law earns more, so of course he spends more."

"You're responsible for that, little brat. Go back to your room."

"No, I want to go buy some cannon with my brother-in-law."

Hearing what his brother-in-law said, the father-in-law said, "I think you deserve to be punished."

"Uncle, no, I asked Xiaowei to go with me." Li Le said awkwardly.

That’s right, when chatting last night, Li Le asked his brother-in-law Nie Wei if there was anyone selling firecrackers in the village.

"Is that so? Okay, go ahead! Fireworks are not allowed in the city right now, so you just happened to be here, so buy some."

"Ok!"

"Let's go, Xiaowei." Li Le shouted.

"Yes!" Brother-in-law Nie Wei nodded quickly, then ran to the front to lead the way.

Maybe it was because of the snow! I didn’t see many people on the road in the village. I guess everyone was staying indoors.

That’s right, it’s more than 20 degrees below zero, who would come out for no reason?

"Brother-in-law, we're just ahead." Nie Wei said, pointing to a house.

"it is good."

When he got here, Li Le looked up and saw Nie Hong Supermarket.

Needless to say, Nie Hong should be the owner of this small supermarket. All the small shops in the village are like this, using their own names as the store names.

The supermarket is very small, probably only about 20 square meters, but it has a wide range of products.

They are all daily necessities, cigarettes, alcohol, snacks and so on.

"Hey, Xiaowei, this is..."

As the two men entered the store, a woman in her thirties glanced at Li Le, then turned and asked Nie Wei.

"Sister Hong, this is my brother-in-law."

"Oh! I see! What are you buying?"

This woman's surname is also Nie, so she should be from the same family as Nie Weiwei, or have the same ancestor.

"Sister Hong, my brother-in-law wants to buy some firecrackers. What kind of firecrackers do you have?" Nie Wei asked.

"It's all over there, take a look!" Nie Hong pointed and said. Nie Wei took a look, his eyes lit up, and he pulled Li Le and said, "Let's go, brother-in-law."

"Yeah!" Li Le agreed, nodded to Nie Hong, and went over.

But when Li Le saw what they were, he was a little disappointed, because what was sold here were not the kind of hanging firecrackers, but the firecrackers and small fireworks that children play with.

"Brother-in-law, what kind of gun do you want to buy?" Nie Wei asked.

"I want to buy that kind of Ma Leizi."

"Ma Leizi, what is that?" Nie Wei asked, scratching his head.

"They are the larger ones, one by one, and the wick is the fuse."

At this time, the boss Nie Hong said: "I don't have the one you mentioned here. You can only buy it in town."

"OK then!"

After Li Le finished speaking, he pulled his brother-in-law and said, "Let's go, there's nothing here."

"Oh!"

The two of them came out of the small supermarket, and Nie Wei asked, "Brother-in-law, do you want to go to town to buy it?"

"Yes, I am going to town."

"Then I'll go too."

"Okay, go back and call your eldest sister, and let's drive to town."

"Yeah, that's great." After shouting, the boy ran home.

Li Le shook his head and said, "Slow down, don't fall."

When Li Le returned, he heard his brother-in-law being scolded.

Needless to say, this kid must have said first that he wanted to drive to town, otherwise his father-in-law would not have scolded him.

"What's going on?" Li Le came in and asked.

"Xiao Le, don't spoil him. Why would he go to such a town in such a snowy day?"

"Uncle, you are blaming Xiaowei wrongly. It is me who wants to go to town. I just went to the village supermarket to buy firecrackers, but they didn't have what I wanted, so I decided to go to town to buy them."

"Did you hear it? It's my brother-in-law who is going to town, but you still don't believe me." Nie Wei said aggrievedly.

"Xiao Le! You forgot to buy some cannons. Do you have to go that far?"

"Dad, he likes to set off firecrackers. Don't worry about it. It's more convenient to have a car." Nie Weiwei said at this time.

"OK then!"

"Brother-in-law, I'm going too." said the sister-in-law.

"can."

"Uncle and aunt, are you going? There is room in the car." Li Le asked.

"We won't go there. You guys go ahead! Drive carefully."

"Don't worry, Mom! Li Le specially changed the snow tires before coming here, there is no problem at all."

"That's good."

Seeing that Li Le and the others were about to drive out, the father-in-law hurried over to open the door.

After Nie Weiwei, sister-in-law and brother-in-law got in the car, Li Le started the car and drove out.

When he started the car, Li Le didn't turn on the air conditioner, so it was still a little cold in the car.

After leaving the village, Li Le turned on the air conditioner and the temperature in the car gradually rose.

It took me an hour to drive from the town to the village last night.

It's not only because of the snow, but mainly because it was dark. Now it's daytime, so it's much faster.

However, it was more than forty minutes later when we arrived in the town.

Maybe it was because of the snow! There weren't many people in the town, or even no one.

Of course, the shops are open.

This town is not big, not even half the size of Li Le’s hometown.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, there is a shop selling firecrackers over there." Nie Wei shouted, pointing to a shop.

Li Le actually saw it too, so he drove straight over.

After parking the car, Li Le did not turn off the engine. There was no other way because the air conditioner was on!
It's more than 20 degrees below zero. If the engine is turned off, the temperature in the car will soon drop to zero.

As for the temperature outside, it was nothing to Li Le and the others.

Because when getting off the bus, everyone put on their down jackets first, Canada Goose down jackets, so twenty degrees below zero was nothing.

"Boss, do you have that kind of Ma Leizi here?" Li Le asked as soon as he entered the store.

"Are you asking about the kind of door-opening cannon?" Li Le asked back.

Li Le shook his head and said, "No, it's a little smaller than the door cannon, the kind sold individually."

Hearing what Li Le said, the boss walked in, quickly brought a plate in front of Li Le and asked, "Take a look, is this the one?"

"Yes, yes, that's it. How many are there in this plate?"

"There are a hundred on this plate."

This head is almost the same as the one given to Li Le’s hometown, but the number is different. In Li Le’s hometown, this plate has fifty.

"how much is it?"

"Are you the uncle here?" the boss asked with a smile.

"Uh! Yes."

"Then give me forty dollars!"

Li Le touched his nose and said jokingly, "Is there any benefit to being a son-in-law here?"

"Hahaha!" my sister-in-law laughed.

Of course, since he had come all the way here, Li Le couldn’t just buy this plate of ma lei zi.

"Boss, do you have any good fireworks?"

"Yes, I have!"

"Can I take a look?" Li Le asked.

"Of course. Come on, I'll take you in to have a look." After saying that, the boss called out and someone came over to take a look.

Then he brought Li Le to the back. As for Nie Weiwei and the other three, they were picking out small fireworks outside.

The boss took Li Le to a back room and said, "They are all here. Which one do you want?"

Li Le took a look and saw that there were quite a lot of fireworks, but they were mostly small, the kind that had 40 or 80 shots.

"Boss, how much is this?" Li Le asked, pointing at a particularly large one.

This firework is almost two meters long and about one meter wide. It is not very tall, only about forty centimeters.

"This is more expensive. It has 1,600 shots and 12 grams of powder. I only bought two and none of them have been sold. If you want one, I'll give it to you at the purchase price."

"Oh! How much?"

"Just give me two thousand and two for each one."

The boss was also helpless! He thought that he would be able to sell out the two, but it had been almost a month since he bought them, and there were many people asking about them, but when he mentioned the price, no one wanted to buy.

"Okay, I'll take both. Do you have any bigger ones?"

Hearing Li Le's question, the boss quickly said, "We do have big ones, but not as big as this one. We also have fireworks with 500 blasts, 360 blasts, and the largest one with 100 blasts."

Li Le didn't say how much he wanted, but looked at the boss and asked, "Can you deliver this to my door?"

"Uh! How much do you want?" the boss looked at Li Le and asked.

"If you can deliver it to my door, I will definitely order more!"
