"Sister, where is my brother-in-law?" Li Wen asked as he had not seen his brother-in-law here today.

"At the New Year's Eve these days, your brother-in-law went to the countryside to set up a stall," Li Li said with a happy face.

"He learned some carpentry work from an old carpenter from his clan in the village. He recently started working as a carpenter and made some benches, wooden boxes and the like to set up a stall in the countryside."

"Ah! I didn't expect my brother-in-law to learn a craft." Li Wen said in surprise.

(Craftsmen are very popular in these days, especially carpenters. There are very few people. The family still has the old concept, teaching apprentices to starve the master. They are also relatively self-conscious.)

"Yes, I just started working some time ago. But I'm still relatively new in my skills. I can only knock out some stools, small boxes and other furniture. I don't know how to build cabinets yet," Li Li said happily.

"Not bad, not bad. With my brother-in-law's skills, your family's life will be much easier in the future." Li Wen praised with a smile.

"Sister, I brought you five kilograms of braised pork today!" Li Wen took out the braised pork from his backpack and handed it to his eldest sister, Li Li.

"Ah, it's such a waste, why did you buy this?" Li Li complained as she looked at a big bag of braised pork.

"Sister, our family made this by ourselves. The village has become rich this year and has distributed a lot of meat. Awen knows the art of braised pork, so dad used dozens of kilograms of good meat to exchange hundreds of kilograms of pig heads and pig meat." Li Wu laughed.

Then I explained it to Li Li.

"Dear me! There are hundreds of pounds of pig heads and pigs in the water." Li Li was simply shocked.

"Well, I made hundreds of kilograms of braised pork this time and gave a lot to my eldest aunt, second aunt, and my grandma's relatives. Sister, you are the last one to stay away." Li Wen said with a smile.

"Has our family become rich?" I have been married for less than two years, and our family has quietly become rich?" Li Li asked her two younger brothers in a low voice.

"Haha!" Li Wen and Li Wu laughed.

Next, the three siblings chatted again. Li Wu and Li Wen also told Li Li what had happened at home in the past few months.

"Okay, sister, we won't stay any longer." Li Wen and Li Wu stood up and said.

It was almost lunch time, and Li and Wen didn't want to stay for dinner. No one was rich these days.

Seeing that her two younger brothers were determined to leave, Li Li did not stop them.

Walking out of the door, he saw several young people from the Song family surrounding Li Wen's bicycle.

The last time Li Wen came to his eldest sister's house, the little guy who opened the door for him was sitting on the beam and gesticulating.

"Xiaojun, aren't bicycles fun?" Li Wen walked over and said with a smile.

The little guy was not familiar with Li Wen, so he suddenly became very embarrassed.

Li Wen took out a sugar cube from his pocket and handed it to the little guy.

"Come and eat some sweets. You are still young now. When you grow up, you will be able to ride a bicycle and run around." Li Wen said with a smile.

The child's greed finally defeated his shyness, he took the candy and stuffed it into his mouth and laughed.

Xiao Wu, it’s going to be dinner time soon, what are you doing?” My brother-in-law’s mother, who was chatting in the yard, walked over and asked with a smile.

"Auntie, isn't the Chinese New Year coming soon? Please hurry up and visit my little nephew today. We have something to do at noon, so we won't stop." Li Wen said with a smile.

After being persuaded by Song's mother and family, brother Li Wu said goodbye with a smile.

When the two brothers passed by Qingshui Village on their bicycles, Li Wen thought of brother and sister Song Jie.

"Brother, take this road and go to a friend's house." Li Wen pointed to the fork in front of the road and said.

"Okay, I understand." Li Wu turned onto the village road on his bicycle and headed towards Qingshui Village.

Five or six minutes later, the two arrived at the door of Song Jie's house. Because Song Jie's house was on a steep slope, Li Wen asked Li Wu to wait for him below and he could go alone.

Li Wu didn't know Li Wen's friends, so he didn't bother to go in and sat aside to rest.

Dang Dang Dang! Li Wen knocked on the wooden door.

Woo! The wooden door opened, and a little girl showed her head.

"Brother, it's you!" This girl is Song Xiaohua. Li Wen smiled and said hello to the little girl and walked in.

"Where are your brother and your grandma?" Li Wen asked, seeing the little girl playing alone in the yard.

"My grandma is cooking, and my brother is boxing in the backyard." The little girl said excitedly.

"Grandma, the big brother who came to our house last time to buy apples is here again!" the little girl shouted and ran towards the kitchen.

"Young man, I haven't seen you in months." The old lady smiled and walked out of the kitchen.

"Grandma, how are you doing recently?" Li Wen sat down and chatted with the old lady.

"Well, I'm still in good health these past few months." The old man said with a smile.

After a while, Song Xiaohua called Song Jie over who was practicing boxing in the backyard.

"Brother, you're here." Song Jie was also excited when he saw Li Wen.

Li Wen was his idol and the person who helped his family. He was very grateful and respected Li Wen.

Li Wen looked at the little guy. He hadn't seen him for a few months. Song Jie had grown taller. But he was very thin, even thinner than the last time he saw him. But he looked very energetic. His hands were wrapped with dark cloth strips, and his legs were

There was also a small sack tied to it.

Li Wen knew this was a bad phenomenon. Song Jie must have been practicing martial arts in the past few months.

Because nutrition has not kept up, a lot of basic nutrients for the body's bones are consumed, and the body will collapse if this continues.

He looked at the little guy and nodded as a greeting.

"Grandma, has this little guy Song Jie been exercising regularly in the past few months?" Li Wen asked.

"Yes! This kid has been running and boxing outside every morning before dawn for the past few months."

"This is not okay. Song Jie is already too thin and out of shape. If this continues, the child's body will collapse. It's my fault that I didn't consider the consequences." Li Wen said angrily.

Li Wen's backpack contained a sack, which had a certain degree of concealment. Li Wen pretended to take some things from the space and put them into the bag and took them out.

"Grandma, here is a jar of milk powder, three kilograms of braised pork, some food stamps and money. You can keep it. When I leave, let Song Jie and Xiaohua eat it and replenish their bodies." Li Wen put the things away.

He took it out and put it on the table.

"You kid, you can't do this! These things are too precious. And why did you give me so many money stamps?" The old lady looked at the 30 yuan, food stamps, and milk powder and braised pork on the table and thought.

Shocked.

"Grandma, I'm in love with the two little guys and you. I'm a writer, I can make money, and I don't lack these."

"And the child Song Jie's health cannot be delayed any longer. You see, he is so skinny. Just take it for you, don't be polite." Li Wen said firmly.

"Oh! Well, grandma, I feel ashamed to accept it." The old lady accepted the money ticket with red eyes.

"Just wait, grandma can't let you suffer!" The old man stood up and walked into the house.

After a while, the old man came out with a palm-sized wooden box. The wooden box was covered with soil, and it seemed that it had been there for a long time.

The old lady walked up to Li Wen, brushed off the dust, and opened the box.

He smiled and said: "My child, this is a piece of jade pendant. It was left behind by grandma when she was young. It was quite valuable at that time."

"But it's useless now. My family was really sad the year before last, so I took it to the county pawn shop, and they gave me ten yuan. Old lady, I couldn't bear to part with it, so I took it back and give it to you now." The old man handed the jade pendant to you.

Li Wen said.

Li Wen is very knowledgeable. He has seen many pictures of various past lives and jade shops.

"Grandma, is this a dragon and phoenix jade pendant made of mutton-fat white jade? In the past, the dragon and phoenix could only be used by the royal family. This is a treasure!" Li Wen said in surprise.

"Hey! You guys still have some eyesight." The old lady didn't expect that a young man like Li Wen would have such eyesight.

"This is indeed something that comes from the palace." The old lady said with a smile.

"When the multinational coalition forces invaded the capital, the royal family fled to us. At that time, my family was relatively prosperous and we received the noble man. I was still young at the time, and the noble man rewarded me when he left." The old lady fell into memories.

Li Wen was speechless after hearing this. The last time she came to Song Jie's house, she saw that the old lady had an aura about her. She didn't expect that she was from a noble family.

"Grandma, this is too valuable. You should leave it to Song Jie and Xiaohua!" Li Wen said.

"They are too young to keep them. I am getting older now, so I don't know how long I can hold on."

"I just hope that you can take more care of these two children when I leave, and I will be satisfied." The old lady took Li Wen's hand and said.

Li Wen heard that this was Tuogu! He waved his hands repeatedly.

"Grandma, I'm still young. You're only over sixty years old. You'd better take care of their brothers and sisters for a few more years."

"You eat everything I give you. Only by taking more supplements can your body be healthy. I will come here every few months from now on, and I will take more care of my family's life." Li Wen hurriedly stated his plan.

.

"Well, my old lady will live a few more years and watch my good grandson grow up." The old lady stroked the heads of the two children and said.

"But you still have to accept this jade pendant." The old lady pushed the box to Li Wen and said.

Seeing that Li Wen couldn't refuse, he had to accept it with a wry smile.

Next, Li Wen told Song Jie to exercise regularly and pay attention to the balance between work and rest. He then asked him to eat well so that he can grow stronger. As long as he is in good health, practicing martial arts will get twice the result with half the effort.

"Grandma, you guys are here, I'm going back first." After chatting for a while, Li Wen said goodbye.

"It's noon, you should go back after dinner, I'm cooking," the old lady tried to persuade her.

"No, I came here by bicycle. My elder brother is still waiting at the bottom of the slope." Li Wen smiled and waved goodbye to the three of them.

Although the little girl Song Xiaohua had only been in contact with Li Wen for a short time, she also liked this big brother very much. When she saw that Li Wen was leaving, she cried non-stop.

After coaxing the little one, Li Wen made a promise to visit her after the new year, and then left safely.

"Brother, let's go!"

Li Wen looked at his elder brother leaning on his bicycle in boredom and said.

"Okay, go home!"

At noon, the sun was warm and it was not very cold. Along the way back, Li Wu rode very fast, which made him feel happy. But Li Wen in the back seat suffered a lot.
Chapter completed!
