There are many places where the pension is delayed, after all, each local finance is different, and some places really don't have the money to pay it in time, just like civil servants and teachers may delay the payment of salaries, and it is not strange to delay the payment of pensions, but generally it will not be delayed for too long to be repaid in full, and it is very rare to delay it for two years.

Li Rui didn't know the practice of delaying the payment of pensions and the difficulties of local finances, when he thought of Lian Commander Hu sacrificing for the country, but his family was treated so unfairly, and Hu Xiaohua was admitted to college and had no money to study, so he had to go out to work, a nameless fire surged up, and said angrily to the young man: "Don't worry, I don't know about this matter, forget it, and if I know, it will definitely be done." ”

At this time, Hu Xiaohua came from the side room with tears on her face, first said a few words to everyone in the local dialect, the onlookers quieted down, Hu Xiaohua said a few words to the young man, the other party said a word, and opened up to the people around her, Hu Xiaohua looked at Li Rui, her eyes were red, and she wanted to cry again.

Although Li Rui didn't understand what Hu Xiaohua said just now, seeing that Hu Xiaohua was calm and calm, calmly coping with the scene, and had a bit of the momentum of a commander, he smiled with satisfaction and said in a low voice: "Don't cry, everything is with me." ”

"Well, my dad is sick angrily, he is changing his clothes at this time, and he will come out to see you immediately, I will let my cousin Zhang Luo cook, and I will eat at home in a while, the conditions are simpler, don't you mind, okay?" Hu Xiaohua explained bitterly, as if she was in charge.

"Okay, listen to you." Li Rui nodded appreciatively and agreed.

"Xiaohua, does your father's illness matter?" Qin Rong asked in a low voice.

"I don't know." Hu Xiaohua hurriedly said.

At this time, Li Rui saw that the young man just now ran to catch a chicken, and then took a knife and a basin out, the status of chickens in the countryside is very high, no one is willing to eat, stay to lay eggs, killing chickens and entertaining guests is the highest etiquette in the countryside, Li Rui does not understand this etiquette, but he can also think of the importance of the Hu family, thought about it, did not stop it, and thought about how to repay this family.

Not long after, a middle-aged man came out of the side room, it was Hu's father, wearing rough navy blue clothes, there were a few patches on the clothes, but the pulp was washed very cleanly, and it was estimated that it was his best clothes, his complexion was not very good, his face was full of wrinkles and unsolvable melancholy, and his waist was also a little upright under the pressure of heavy life, holding a pack of cigarettes in his hand, he walked up to Li Rui, squeezed out a little smile, and was not very skilled in dismantling the cigarette.

The cigarette has not been opened, it is estimated that it is reserved for receiving guests, and he is usually reluctant to smoke, Li Rui saw the visitor, and the voice and smile of Hu Lianchang appeared in his mind, his nose was sour, he hurriedly stepped forward, held the other party's hand and said excitedly: "No, I don't smoke." ”

The other party looked at Li Rui blankly, obviously didn't understand, Hu Xiaohua explained in local dialect next to him, Hu's father talked to Hu Xiaohua a few words with some uncertainty, smiled, the wrinkles on his face stretched a little, looked at Li Rui's eyes a little more enthusiastic, put the cigarette into his pocket, but didn't know what to say, explained a few words to Hu Xiaohua, and walked towards another side room.

Li Rui glanced at the side room, it was the kitchen, at this time, Hu's mother said a few words to the people around her, and also went to the kitchen to help, one for the stove, the other for the pot to prepare for the stir-fry, the couple whispered something, the onlookers may not think it is interesting, and they have dispersed with their respective children.

Hu Xiaohua said embarrassedly: "Brother, my parents can't speak Chinese and can't understand, let me treat you well, what do you want to eat?" There are no delicacies from the mountains and seas in the countryside, they are all home-grown, and the raw materials are absolutely good. ”

"It's okay, I have some cash here, you take it, see who has any good things, collect them and eat, and the price will be doubled." Li Rui hurriedly said, and took out a handful of cash from his pocket, which was more than two thousand.

"yes, I have some here, too." Lin Jing and Qin Rong also took out some cash from their respective bags and handed them to Hu Xiaohua, adding up to tens of thousands, Lin Jing even advised: "It's all spent, let's take it away if we can't finish eating, we have a car, don't be afraid to bring it." ”

Hu Xiaohua is very smart, and immediately felt that Li Rui and the three of them were taking care of the villagers, and the things in the poor ravine were not easy to sell, and they were basically kept for their own New Year's holidays or happy events, and it would be good if someone was willing to come in and buy it at the market price, and the double price was equivalent to giving favors and saving face for Hu Xiaohua, Hu Xiaohua nodded gratefully, no objection, silently wrote down this favor, and hurriedly went to do it.

Not long after, Hu Xiaohua came back, followed by some village women, carrying some eggs, bacon and chickens and ducks in their hands, there were too many things, Hu Xiaohua couldn't take them alone, and the enthusiastic village women sent them to the door, and put the things at the door under Hu Xiaohua's guidance, piling them up in a pile.

The homemade things in the farmhouse are very good, Li Rui's index finger moved, thought about it, and waited for Hu Xiaohua to pay one by one, and the village women left and whispered: "Discuss with your parents, set up a few tables, invite some people, and make these things, just when you thank everyone for your care, in addition, you discuss with your parents, let's leave here early tomorrow morning, rent a house near the school to live, and take care of each other, you can rest assured when you go to school, okay?" ”

"Huh?" Hu Xiaohua didn't think about this problem, and couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the proposal, but quickly thought of the money given by Li Rui, with such a large amount of money, it is enough for the family's living expenses for several years, and she can earn money after graduating from college, so she doesn't have to worry, her eyes began to shine, she thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”

"Can your parents agree? After all, it is difficult to leave the homeland. Qin Rong asked suspiciously.

"I'm afraid I can't agree." Hu Xiaohua said a little discouraged.

"This is not a problem, go back and think of a way, you can always persuade them to agree, you arrange, don't ship those purchased things first, a few days later, wait for the room to be rented." Li Rui looked at Qin Rong and said.

"No problem, I'll coordinate, but, are you sure you can convince the second elder?" Qin Rong agreed.

"No problem, I'm sure." Li Rui said confidently.

Qin Rong saw that Li Rui didn't seem to be joking, agreed, and went outside to make a call, at this time, Lin Jing came in, his face was gloomy and terrible, he looked at Hu Xiaohua, and said to Li Rui in a low voice: "I have checked, the money from the treasury has already arrived at the Ministry of Armed Forces, someone embezzled it, this person has some background in the city, and everyone dare not offend, so it has been dragged, this person was transferred to the city half a year ago, and no one wants to offend." ”

"How?" Li Rui said, with a little more coldness in his words.
