When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 316 How Steel is Made

"Now if anyone is wearing a vest with holes in it, throw it away immediately. It makes me angry just by looking at it."

President Jin sighed and turned back to the bedroom.

You can still wear it, why throw it away?

During the hard times we lived through in the past few years, we still had to continue wearing the clothes even if they had holes in them.

We must learn to cherish the good days like these.

Just then, Li Yihua's voice came from outside the door.

"Sis, I cooked some potatoes. You're not asleep yet, are you?"

Ms. Luo quickly put on her makeup and said, "Not yet. It's so late, and you still brought so many potatoes. Thank you."

Lee Il-hwa put the potatoes on the table and said, “We can’t finish all the potatoes that Sung Dong-il bought.”

Ms. Luo stood up and took out a bottle of liquor from the cupboard.

"Let's have a drink."

Li Yihua readily agreed.

I came here with the intention of borrowing money, so if I can stay a little longer, I can ask for it.

Besides, she was very angry right now, so it would be nice to drink some wine to relax.

The two of them were sitting on the sofa.

Ms. Luo poured herself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

"My husband is still wearing clothes he bought several years ago."

Li Yihua took a sip and said, "Your family lives a simple life and doesn't like to spend money. Unlike Cheng Dongri, who buys random things all day long and even bought prenatal education tapes tonight."

Hearing this, Ms. Luo said in surprise: "Prenatal education tapes? Really."

The two of them took a sip from their glasses.

Li Yihua put down her wine glass, feeling a little depressed.

"Who can understand my feelings? I had a big fight with him because of this. I am so poor, but I still want to do good deeds everywhere."

Ms. Luo poured a glass of wine for Li Yihua and said, "What can we do about good people? Cheng Dongri is the kindest in our area. If you can't stand certain things, you have to help. The main thing is that people are good."

Li Yihua retorted: "Can kindness be eaten? If you help others, do you not care about your children at home? I really hate it."

"Then you are better than me. My enemy is still living like he did in his one-room apartment. He is not willing to spend a thousand dollars."

Li Yihua complimented, "That's because he's thrifty, and Zhengfeng's father had a really hard life in the past, so some habits can't be changed in a short time."

President Jin's family used to live in a small house next to the current house, close to the street.

A family of four huddled in a space of only a dozen square meters.

There is no room to stretch your legs when sleeping.

I am very happy to eat tofu occasionally.

They can't afford to eat cowpeas, which Deok-sun doesn't like.

It was not until May of 85 that Brother Zhengfeng won million yuan in the lottery.

Things at home got better.

Those lottery tickets are still kept in the drawer of Zhengfeng's bedroom.

Ms. Luo took a sip of wine and peeled a potato in her hands.

"We were poor once, but now we know how to spend money. It's been three years, and we can change our habits. There's nothing I can't say to you."

Li Yihua said softly, "We have to take it slow, big sister. It's not easy to change your temper just because you made a fortune overnight. No matter what, you are the one I envy the most in the world. Oh my god, when will I be able to live a life without worrying about money?"

Ms. Luo smiled softly and said, "I guess we have to wait until Paula and Ayong get married. Both of their children are very promising. By the way, what do you want to see me about so late at night?"

Li Yihua's eyes began to avoid her and she didn't know how to start.

I haven't repaid the original loan, and now I'm borrowing money again.

I felt a little embarrassed, but for the sake of Deshan's study trip expenses, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask.

"Well, it's nothing else..."

While speaking, he hesitated.

Ms. Luo asked directly: "What is the matter? What is our relationship? Is there anything that cannot be said?"

Li Yihua showed a slight smile on her face: "Well... Big sister, oh... I am so sorry to you every time. Big sister... well..."

Before he could finish his words, Ms. Luo interrupted him directly: "Is it because of the previous loan? Pay me back next time when you have money. You can pay me back slowly. I am a nouveau riche with a lot of money."

Hearing this, the smile on Li Yihua's face slowly turned into a lost smile.

After Ms. Luo said this, how could she have the nerve to ask for more money?

In fact, Ms. Luo said this deliberately to prevent Li Yihua from being embarrassed.

She had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She had already decided to give the money to him before bedtime.

After all, lending money and giving money are two different things.

Li Renyong often feels that the soul of Ssangmundong is not Deok-sun, nor Aze, nor anyone else.

But it is Ms. Luo, who is known as Ms. Leopard.

Every time I hear her voice, the whole alley feels lively.

Compared with the other two aunts, Ms. Luo is obviously a more contradictory person.

There are many contradictions in her.

For example, poverty and wealth.

Although she has been correcting President Jin's poor life, she herself has never adapted to the identity of a rich person.

The two chatted about some other things and then Li Yihua went home.

It is already very late at night.

The sky was covered in thick darkness, as if a huge velvet curtain was hanging in the sky.

The stars twinkle faintly.

On the quiet street, only the street lamps are lit lonely, emitting a faint and warm light.

When we got home, everyone was asleep.

Sung Dong-il was snoring loudly.

Li Yihua sat on the ground with her right hand on her forehead.

There is only one feeling in my heart: tired.

It's so tiring.

She straightened her back and sighed heavily.

I couldn't sleep when I thought about Deshan's school trip expenses.

Just then, Ms. Luo's voice came from outside the door.

"Paula's mom, are you asleep? Come out for a moment."

Li Yihua stood up, pushed open the door to the living room, and turned on the light switch in the kitchen.

In an instant, the whole kitchen was illuminated by soft light.

Ms. Luo was standing at the door holding a pot of corn.

"Sister, what's up at this hour?"

"My relatives sent some corn over."

Li Yihua took the corn and said with a smile, "Really? It looks delicious."

Ms. Luo turned around and said, "I'm leaving, go to bed."

"Slow down, sis."

Li Yihua casually put the corn on the counter and was about to enter the living room, but found an envelope under the corn.

She picked up the envelope, inside which lay five thousand-yuan bills.

Under the note was a piece of paper torn from a notepad.

It said: "Deok-sun is also going on a school trip, so I'll give her some extra pocket money."

Li Yihua was stunned, her eyes turned red unconsciously, tears welled up in them but did not fall.

She tried to control her emotions, but the feeling of being touched and grateful came flooding over her and could not be concealed.

There is beauty and kindness everywhere in life.

next morning.

"Deshan, what's wrong with you? You look listless."

As soon as Li Renyong came in, he saw Deshan exuding a depressed aura.

Deshan pointed at Bora and said, "Ask her."

It turned out that after Li Renyong left last night, Deshan was still packing clothes for the school trip.

Be careful not to step on Paula's ankle.

Then, the two started fighting.

The main thing is that Deok-sun was beaten all the time, and in the end she was stuffed into a closet.

While beating her, Paula continued to ask, "I'll show you how the steel was tempered."
