Chapter 53 Homecoming
Chapter 53 Going home
Li Mingren was ashamed at home. Every day he was looking forward to the Li family's return, but also worried about their return and faced them without words.
Zhao Yunlan was quite happy in the county. During the recovery period, Old Man Li's wound accidentally got wet, so the stitches had to be removed later.
Zhao Yunlan thought about going back first, just in time to remove the sutures, and took Wang to Fucheng for follow-up consultation.
Old Man Li and Mrs. Wang had been looking forward to going back for a long time, and they were very happy when they got up early in the morning.
Old Man Li stretched out his arms and legs, "Oh! A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse."
Mrs. Wang was afraid and patted Old Man Li on the back: "Then you go back and sleep in the doghouse, and I'll sleep on the bed."
Old Man Li chuckled.
Zhao Yunlan hired a mule cart and brought a lot of things. When he came, he brought nothing but money. Now that he is leaving, there is no money left but a lot of things. Old man Li and Wang are frugal.
He was used to it and was reluctant to leave anything behind, so Zhao Yunlan had no choice but to load everything into the car. This made Li Mingli move things again and again.
Well, there was also the jade cake that Zhao Yunlan wanted to take back to Li Mingren. When Li Mingli looked at the snack box, he wondered why Zhao Yunlan didn't take it out to eat, so he had to take the initiative to ask Zhao Yunlan. Zhao Yunlan originally
I wanted to say that it was not delicious, but then I said happily: "Hey, look at my memory, come and try it for you and dad. It is said that the nobles in the city love it."
Li Mingli stuffed it in with great expectation. Old Man Li was not to be outdone. Zhao Yunlan only heard two "vomit~" outside the door.
When leaving, Zhao Yunlan went to pay Mrs. Feng the money. The money was all put in a money bag, and Mrs. Feng didn't take it out to count. She just felt that she hadn't taken so much money in a long time, and the money was heavy.
A lot.
"Grandma Feng, come to our Lijia Village if you have time. Next time we come to the county, we will rent your yard."
Mrs. Feng: "Yeah, okay, I'll keep the house for you next time. When I'm free, I'll go and sit at your place."
The four of them said goodbye, got in the car and left.
Old Mrs. Feng turned around and went into the house, intending to put away the money Zhao Yunlan had given her. However, when she opened it and saw that the copper coins inside didn't seem to match, she counted them carefully and found that she was given half the price more. Old Mrs. Feng could only sigh repeatedly.
After all, Zhao Yunlan was afraid that the old lady would find out at once, so he thoughtfully changed all the money into copper coins and put them in bulk in the money bag.
The four of them, Zhao Yunlan, arrived at Qingshui Town at almost noon. Zhao Yunlan first took Mr. Wang and Old Man Li to the shop. The old couple had never been here before, so they thought they would drop by and take a look.
Li Mingyi and Li Mingzhi were very busy, and Li Mingmei was checking out at the counter, with Xiaobao sitting next to her. Li Mingmei was too busy living in the backyard of Buzhuang, even though she was accompanied by Wu's sister to talk, Li Mingmei
I always felt that I didn’t feel well if I didn’t do something, so I had to ask Li Mingyi to come to the shop to help.
In order to be able to take care of Xiaobao at all times, I even went to find an armchair and circled Xiaobao in the chair. Xiaobao was very well-behaved and didn't cause any trouble at all.
Zhao Yunlan went over and picked up Xiaobao, who started crying.
"Mom, you are finally back, woo hoo hoo~" Xiaobao wiped his nose and tears on Zhao Yunlan.
Zhao Yunlan also missed Xiaobao very much. This time when he went out, what he thought most about was what Xiaobao would be like at home. Xiaobao hugged Zhao Yunlan and refused to let go, so Zhao Yunlan let him go.
Li Mingli took Mr. Wang and Old Man Li to sit at an empty table and waited. They happened to have no lunch, so Li Mingyi cooked a bowl of saozi noodles for each of them.
After Li Mingyi finished his work, Old Man Li said: "Let's pack up and go home today, and the whole family will have a good meal tonight."
Written by Li Mingyi and Li Mingzhiying.
Zhao Yunlan hired this mule cart for one day. When Zhao Yunlan and others were having lunch in the shop, Li Mingyi also invited the cart driver to come in and eat together. At this moment, the cart driver was already waiting beside the cart.
Li Mingyi and Li Mingli supported Mr. Wang and Mr. Li on the car, one on the left and the other on the right. The whole family sat in the small car, which looked particularly warm.
In Lijiacun, Li Mingren was trying to make a fire for cooking. He searched for the fire certificate for half an hour. Finally, he found it. The fire was lit and then went out after a while. He was completely disgraced.
When the fire in the stove stabilized, Li Mingren hurriedly threw down the vegetables and stewed them. But while the fire was simmering, the fire was almost extinguished, and Li Mingren stumblingly finished the meal. Although it was
The vegetables were not even cooked. Li Mingren was so hungry that he squatted at the door of the kitchen and ate without caring.
The first time Wang entered the door, she saw a man with messy hair, dark complexion, and dirty clothes squatting in front of her door. She was just about to let Li Mingyi use the broom to beat him, when he heard: "Mom, dad, you are finally back."
Already."
Wang was stunned on the spot, and the next second she rushed over and hugged Li Mingren: "Boss, why are you looking like this? Who bullied you?"
Li Mingren: "Mom, it's my son's fault. Dad, I was wrong. I deserve this."
Mr. Wang and Mr. Li were confused as to why they had begun to repent. Zhao Yunlan thought to herself, it should have been like this a long time ago. Now, huh, the matter is not over yet.
Li Mingyi stepped forward and helped Li Mingren up: "Brother, come inside and sit down and talk."
Li Mingren looked at Zhao Yunlan who was standing behind him, thinking about what to say, but seeing that Zhao Yunlan ignored him, he had no choice but to follow Li.
The family sat down, and Li Mingren didn't even bother to eat. He knelt down in front of the two elders and said, "Father, mother, the children are unfilial. They failed to share their worries for their parents. They kept letting their parents work hard for their son, which hurt their bodies."
Wang's eyes were filled with tears: "Get up quickly, hey, get up and sit down."
Old Li stepped forward and patted Li Mingren on the shoulder, "Boss~"
Li Mingyi pulled Li Mingren up, and Li Mingren continued: "Brothers and sisters, it's all my fault as the eldest brother. I'm useless. I avoided things when I encountered them, and I didn't set a good example for my younger brothers and sisters."
Li Mingli could only comfort him: "Brother, I don't blame you. If it were a different situation, we would probably do the same thing."
Li Mingren still admitted his mistake and turned to look at Zhao Yunlan: "Madam, I can't help you. I failed to be a good husband and a good father."
Zhao Yunlan nodded and said nothing.
Li Mingren couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw Zhao Yunlan's attitude.
Li Mingren had no choice but to continue: "After going to do hard labor this time, I..."
Wang was surprised and said: "Serving! You went to Qingshui River. You went to work!"
Li Mingren: "Mom, yes, when dad came back, we needed someone else to go there. I..."
Zhao Yunlan: "Mom, I asked my husband to go, I just wanted to..."
Li Mingren: "Mom, I decided to go on my own. As their eldest brother, I should be the one to go."
Mrs. Wang: "That's all, just come back well. Listen to Yunlan more from now on. Don't hold anything to yourself."
Li Mingren responded and continued the topic: "It's because I went to do corvee this time that I saw clearly how stupid I was before. In the past, I was the one who got into trouble, but I won't be like this in the future, dad."
, how is your injury?"
Old Man Li smiled happily: "Hey, it's much better. Boss, it's good that you understand. It's all thanks to Yunlan this time!"
Li Mingren also looked at Zhao Yunlan: "Well, thank you, madam."
Zhao Yunlan didn't want to look at Li Mingren's gaze anymore, and turned to look at the jade pastry in Li Mingli's hand: "My lord, I brought you pastries from Fucheng."
Li Mingzhi said greedily: "My sister-in-law only brings cakes to my eldest brother, but we don't have any!"
Mrs. Wang curled her lips and said, "If you want to eat, bring it to eat."
Li Mingren and the others who had never eaten all took a piece one after another, only to hear one after another: "Ugh~"
Zhao Yunlan said with a bad smile: "Well, this is for my husband. It's fine if you don't eat it. My husband must eat it."
Li Mingren looked pitifully at Zhao Yunlan and then at Wang, but no one paid him any attention.
Starting tomorrow, I will try to update around 8pm
