Chapter 1 Homecoming(2/2)
The second brother-in-law, who was having fun at the side, noticed his daughter-in-law's gloomy expression from the corner of his eye and hurriedly answered the conversation.
"If you don't like going to the boss's place, come to my supermarket, be a purchasing manager, and travel around."
After saying that, I saw that my wife's expression was much better, and she secretly praised herself for being smart and clever.
The two brothers-in-law have large businesses in the county. The eldest brother-in-law is the boss of a construction company. The second brother-in-law is the owner of a supermarket chain.
Li Hongbing kept in mind the kindness of his sister and brothers-in-law, but unfortunately these were not what he wanted.
After trying to figure out the right words to use, he faced the expectant eyes of his mother and sister and spoke in a slightly relaxed tone.
"I'm retired, why should I still work? This time I'm going back to Caogou Village to farm."
…
Dongfeng City.
A fourth-tier city located in the mountainous area of northwest China, it once became a major economic player in the province with its forestry industry. However, since the government began to return farmland to forests and close the mountains for forest cultivation, the city's development has declined rapidly, and the city has sunk to the west.
Li Guoqing left the mountains in his early years and took his wife, children and children to the city to work hard.
Catching up with the good times and a little luck, he transformed from a farmer into a formal worker in the municipal supply and marketing cooperative.
The couple lived frugally and raised three college students. However, what Lao Li Tou owed the most was his younger son, and he was still the one he couldn't let go of the most.
I never thought that something would happen in the end.
Early in the morning.
Lao Li was forced to stay at home by his wife and daughter. Even though he was cursing and cursing, he was thinking about his younger son in his heart. He stood by the window and watched again and again.
Until a car drove into the community.
Lao Li's anxious mood finally subsided and he sat back on the sofa with a straight face. There was a yellowed bamboo stick on the coffee table in front of him.
Then the door opened.
Lao Li was furious and grabbed the bamboo stick.
Let’s arrange a meal of fried pork with bamboo sticks first.
"Dad, I'm back."
Hearing his son's familiar voice, Lao Li turned his head with an angry look.
The anger brewing in my heart was instantly extinguished.
Gray hair, thick glasses, and a haggard and old face.
Is this still my son?
Snap!
The bamboo board fell down.
My heart was throbbing with pain.
His eyes turned black.
Fainted.
"father."
"Old man."
"dad."
The room was in chaos.
After taking the medicine, Old Li opened his eyes leisurely and scanned the concerned faces, finally landing on Li Hongbing's face.
"I'm back, just come back."
…
"You have to go back to Caogou Village."
When Old Li Tou saw his son's head full of white hair, his anger dissipated.
Who says that children are not the main concern of parents?
No matter how old they are, children are still the same as when they were children in the eyes of their parents.
No matter how far away they are, children are the most concerned people in their parents' hearts.
My son, I have endured hardship these past few years.
Old Li Tou is not good at expressing his feelings, he only knows how to keep his care and concern deep in his heart.
Li Hongbing met his father's eyes and said, "Yes, I dreamed about Caogou Village, about our old house, about our big oak tree, and about my grandma. I want to go back and burn incense for grandma, and burn paper for grandpa."
Kowtow with milk."
yes!
Fallen leaves return to their roots. No matter how nice the city is, the roots are not here.
Lao Li gave a long sigh.
"Go ahead. You've been wandering around outside all these years. It's time to go back and burn paper for your grandpa and grandma. When will you leave?"
"Tomorrow." Li Hongbing said firmly.
Bang!
The mother, who had just walked out of the kitchen, dropped the fruit plate in her hand and burst into tears again.
"You have just come back and are about to leave. How much do you dislike this family?"
As soon as the mother spoke, her sister and brother-in-law nearby shrank their necks and did not dare to say a word. They could only use their eyes to signal Li Hongbing to steady himself again.
Li Hongbing picked up the fruit and put it on the coffee table, then hugged his mother.
"Mom, I'm just going back to stay for a few days, and I'll come back when I get tired of living here."
Mother's eyes were filled with tears, "Really, don't fool me again?"
As a teacher, the eldest sister naturally speaks with integrity, "Mom, it's good for San'er to go back to her hometown. The air there is so good, and she can take care of herself."
The second sister also chimed in, "Yes, my hometown is much closer than the Pearl. If you want a son, just ask Jianjun to send you back."
The sisters helped, and the mother finally gave up the idea of obstructing her. She turned around and saw Lao Litou, who looked like a god sitting there, and suddenly became very angry.
"Old man, get lost. He doesn't know how to wash the stolen fruit. He just knows how to eat, eat, eat, eat, and I'll eat you to death."
Forehead!
Old Li Tou was scolded inexplicably. He was about to retaliate, but he saw the old woman getting more and more aggressive.
He stood up dejectedly, picked up the fruit and walked into the kitchen cursing.
The two brothers-in-law watching the theater looked at each other and smiled.
Zhou Yu hit the yellow cover, and every mountain was as high as the next.
night.
Had a meal.
Li Hongbing lay on the bed, smelling the familiar smell of the quilt.
The tired heart gets a little solace.
