How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 124: Four younger brothers (28)

"Hey, wait a minute!" Just as the four beaten boys got the compensation and were walking out, Li Le called them from behind.

"Ah! Big brother, you haven't left yet?"

"Not yet. How are you? Have you received compensation?" Li Le asked.

"I got it." He took out a handful of money from his pocket, about 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, handed it to Li Le and said, "Big brother, thank you for helping us, take these."

Li Le rolled his eyes at the guy and asked, "Who did you learn this from? Why are you giving me money? Put the money away."

"But……"

"No buts. Come on, you haven't eaten yet, right? Come on, I'll take you to eat."

"No, no, we're not hungry yet." As soon as the guy finished speaking, his stomach started growling.

"Okay, let's go! I won't let you spend money, I'll treat you."

"No, let us treat you! You helped us, how can we let you treat us?"

Li Le smiled and didn't say anything. What's the point of arguing about this now? He could just pay the money later and it would be over.

The five of them went into a random restaurant. Li Le said to them, "Find a place to sit down first. I'll go order the food."

The four guys probably had never been to a restaurant before and didn't understand what was going on. So when Li Le asked them to find a place to sit, they went and sat down.

Li Le came to the counter and ordered six dishes and a soup, as well as ten steamed buns.

Li Le knew that these things would not fill them up at all, but he still didn't ask for more. They had been hungry for a long time and couldn't eat too much at one time, otherwise there would be problems.

This is just for them to fill their stomachs first, so they can eat it again later.

Li Le paid the money, then came up to the four guys, sat down and asked, "Where are you from?"

"Brother, I'm from Dayu Province."

"Dayu Province?" Li Le looked at the guy in surprise.

Li Le is also from Henan Province! Did we meet a fellow villager in 1950?

"Yeah!" The guy nodded.

"Are you three also from Dayu Province?" Li Le asked.

“No, I’m from Dongshan Province.”

"I am from the Western Hills Province."

"I am from Northern River Province."

"Good fellow, four people in four different places, but how did you get together?"

"We are all refugees, so we met each other and fled together, so we can help each other."

"That's true." Li Le nodded and asked, "What are your names?"

"Brother, my name is Niu Shuanzhu."

"Niu Shuanzhu! Your name."

The name "fellow villager" almost made Li Le laugh. It's like a yoke, tying up the cow to prevent it from running away.

"Brother! My name is Daila."

"Dailla? What kind of name is this?" Li Le frowned.

Daila scratched his head and said, "My dad said that if I were to be called Daila, I would grow up, so he called me Daila."

"Uh!" Li Le was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's your last name?"

"My last name is Li, and Li is called La."

"The names you guys have in Beihe are really interesting." Li Le shook his head, not knowing what to say.

Moreover, this guy has the same surname as me, but this is normal. As the largest surname, it is very normal to encounter such a guy.

"Brother, my name is Ma Feng."

"Ma Feng, this is a good name." Li Le nodded. Finally, he had a normal name.

Ma Feng is from Dongshan Province, which borders Dayu Province and Beihe Province. "Brother, my name is Gousheng."

"Puff!" Li Le just took a sip of water and sprayed it all out.

Seeing Li Le like this, Gou Sheng scratched his head and said, "This is the name my grandfather gave me."

Li Le shook his head and said, "This is just a nickname. Do you have any other names?"

Hearing Li Le's question, Gou Sheng shook his head and said, "No, I only have this one since I was a child."

"You know your last name, don't you?"

"My last name is Gou!"

"Puff!" Li Le was really defeated this time. He said, "Your last name should be Gou, right? Not Gou."

Gousheng shook his head and said, "No, it's just a dog."

After saying that, he dipped his hand in some water and wrote something on the table.

Li Le took a look and found that it was indeed a dog, but was there a surname like dog? Li Le really didn't know.

"Do you know how to read?" Li Le asked Gou Sheng in surprise.

"Yes, my grandfather used to be a private school teacher, and I learned from him."

"Okay! But I don't understand, since your grandfather is a private school teacher, why did he give you such a name?"

Gou Sheng scratched his head and said, "My grandfather said that a humble name is easy to raise."

"All right!"

Just at this time, the food came up, and Li Le said to the four of them, "Eat! Eat first, don't eat too much this time."

It was still early for dinner! Li Le was not hungry, so he just watched them eat.

It seemed that these four boys were really hungry. They ate ravenously, as if they had been hungry for several days.

It is really possible that they have been hungry for several days. Don't forget that they are fleeing famine. Isn't it normal to be hungry for a few days?
After the meal, Ma Feng went to pay the bill, only to find out that Li Le had already paid.

"Brother, why did you give so much money?" Ma Feng came back and asked.

"Okay, you should keep the little money you have! Or send it home."

When the four guys heard what Li Le said, their eyes instantly turned red.

"Uh! What's going on?"

"Brother, we have no family left, otherwise we wouldn't have run away."

"Ah! Sorry, I don't know that."

"It's okay, brother. We're used to it." Gousheng said with a smile.

"Okay! Come on, I'll take you to buy some things."

"No, no, brother. You don't have to buy things for us. We don't need it. And we also want to thank you for helping us." Daila said.

Li Le looked at the four boys and said, "Listen to me, this is what I mean. My house is very big, and it's not a good idea for you to beg for food every day, so I want you to follow me."

"what?"

The four guys looked at Li Le in disbelief. Ma Feng reacted first and looked at Li Le and asked, "Brother, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. You have nowhere to go anyway. But let's make it clear first. If you follow me, you will work."

"Brother, we are not afraid of working, as long as we are given food to eat."

Li Le patted Ma Feng on the shoulder and said, "Follow me, not only will you have food to eat, but you will also earn money. Most importantly, you will no longer be beggars."

"Brother, we don't want money, just give us food."

"Yes, yes, we don't want any money."

"Okay, if you follow me, you have to listen to me. Do you want to listen to me?" Li Le asked the four boys.

The four guys looked at each other, and then Ma Feng said to Li Le very seriously: "Maybe, we will listen to you and do whatever you tell us to do."
