Li Jingming drove for two hours on the way back. Before going back, he had already called his home in advance.
Yang Lina bought clothes for Wang Ying, Sun Yuxiu and others, and also bought a lot of malted milk for Sun Yuxiu and the two old people.
Yang Lina thought that since the two old people were getting older and Sun Yuxiu was pregnant again, she would buy more things to drink for everyone in the family.
Yang Lina originally thought that she would wait for all the peppers in the village to dry before going to buy them. However, Zhu Xiumei and Widow Sun were beaten before. Now she was worried about conflicts among the villagers, so she thought she might as well go back and bring some of them back first, so that they could be given to others.
The villagers can rest assured.
As for Li Jingming, he had also inquired about the house that Li Jingcheng wanted. Not far behind their courtyard house, there was a family who wanted to go to sea to do business. The house was a two-story Western-style building newly built a few years ago.
Li Jingming and Yang Lina went to see the house. The layout and decoration of the house were all in Chinese style. Although the house was not big, it was enough for Li Jingcheng and his family to live.
Yang Lina also likes that house. Through the house, Yang Lina can see that the owner of the house is a very sentimental person. The yard is full of flowers and plants, and is kept clean and comfortable, making people like it very much.
That family asked for 6,500 yuan, and after Li Jingming discussed it with them, they agreed to 6,000 yuan.
Li Jingming paid a deposit of 500 yuan and planned to discuss it with Li Jingcheng when he came back to the city. When he returned to the city, he took the second son and his wife with him to let them take a look again.
If the second child and his wife don't like it, Li Jingming can think of ways to show them another house later.
If he doesn't want the second child, he will buy it and give it to his wife. Just like Su Han said, spend a little money and treat it as an investment. What if the price of the house increases in the future?
Huahua fell asleep in the back seat of the car soon. Li Jingming wanted to talk to Yang Lina for a while, but when he looked back, he saw that she had also fallen asleep holding Huahua in her arms.
Li Jingming smiled helplessly, parked the car aside, took off his coat and covered the two of them, then restarted the car and headed to Yangjiacun.
On Wang Ying's side, when he heard that the eldest couple had returned with their children, they hurriedly killed the chickens for cooking.
Sun Yuxiu wanted to help, but Wang Ying was afraid of getting into Sun Yuxiu's belly and wouldn't let her do anything.
Sun Yuxiu's belly was already very pregnant. She was afraid of being seen by others. During the day, she wrapped a circle of cloth around her waist to hold her belly slightly. She also wore loose clothes. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it at all.
Sun Yuxiu was found to have a baby in her belly.
Wang Ying refused to let Sun Yuxiu work, and Sun Yuxiu was idle. Guoqiang was carried to the brick and tile factory by his father-in-law again, so he was idle now.
Sun Yuxiu saw two baskets of persimmons under the eaves, and thought that she couldn't finish the two baskets of persimmons made into wine. She might as well peel some and hang them up to make persimmons to eat.
Thinking of this, Sun Yuxiu took a knife and a basin and sat under the eaves and started peeling. The basket full of red persimmons looked festive.
Sun Yuxiu worked just like Yang Lina worked. Wang Ying went in and out several times. Seeing Sun Yuxiu's hands busy, she just smiled helplessly and shook her head.
Her two daughters-in-law are so sincere, they know they are busy when they can't see anything.
Wang Ying thought to herself that she was also very lucky. She found such two good daughters-in-law who could help your daughter and even kiss her. Her life was not in vain.
As long as she has her breath, she can never mistreat her two children.
After Sun Yuxiu peeled the persimmons, she strung them one by one like lanterns and hung them under the eaves.
After Sun Yuxiu cleaned the persimmon skins, she greeted Wang Ying and went to the village entrance to wait for Yang Lina.
She counted the time. It had been almost two hours since she made the phone call. They should be arriving soon.
When Sun Yuxiu arrived at the entrance of the village, Li Jingcheng and his children, as well as Zhao Wenhu and Zhang Kaikai were squatting at the bridge, talking and laughing. Before Sun Yuxiu crossed the bridge, she heard the conversation of several grown men.
Li Jingcheng said: "When this year is over, I will build a house for my wife in the spring of next year. Instead of building a courtyard house, I will build her a small western-style house."
Zhao Wenhu joked: "The little western-style building is great, it's high-end and looks foreign-style."
Zhang Kaikai said: "What a shit, living in a courtyard is more comfortable.
If you want to build a small western-style house, you should have told me earlier. When I build the house, why not just build it as a small western-style building?"
As soon as Zhang Kai finished speaking, Zhao Wenhu deliberately provoked Zhang Kai and said: "You don't have any brains, you just know how to build a house. If you build a small western-style building, your four daughters and one son will have more than enough room for each person."
Otherwise, how about you sell your yard to someone else, or tear it down and build it again?"
Zhang Kaikai immediately became dissatisfied. He said: "Guanggun, come up with some bad ideas. I won't dismantle them or sell them. Let's take it one step at a time."
By the way, you have to build it yourself. Do we have to build one with Jing Ming? Although the apartment the couple lives in can accommodate people, it is already very old after all. How about Jing Ming comes back and we try it out?
Test it out and ask him if he wants to build it. If he wants to build it, you two brothers can build it together next spring. Just think of it as the three of us thanking Jing Ming for his help.
I know this is far from enough, but at least it is our intention.
As the old saying goes, what people want when they get old is to return to their roots. Let's build him a house in his hometown. When the couple gets old, it would be great to have a small mansion to live in when they return to their hometown."
As soon as Zhang Kaifa finished speaking, Zhao Wenhu kicked Zhang Kaikai on the butt and said: "Your ideas and suggestions are very good, but I think your brain is blocked by the door.
Don't think about it either. My eldest brother is only in his thirties and my sister-in-law is only twenty-two. It's too early to say that the fallen leaves are returning to their roots.
With such rapid development now, who knows what the countryside will look like in a few decades?
You, you, because your thoughts always stay in the past, your ideas of building a house are out of date."
Zhang Kaikai bared his teeth and chased Zhao Wenhu, punching and kicking him. Zhao Wenhua was hiding and laughing loudly.
Guo Qiang, who was in Li Jingcheng's arms, saw Sun Yuxiu, struggled out of Li Jingcheng's arms, and ran towards Sun Yuxiu.
"Mother···"
When Guoqiang called out "Mother", Zhang Kai stopped what he was doing.
Li Jingcheng turned around to see Sun Yuxiu approaching, followed Guo Qiang and walked towards Sun Yuxiu.
Sun Yuxiu said: "Are you waiting here for your elder brother and sister-in-law too?"
Li Jingcheng smiled and said: "I don't have anything to do at the brick and tile factory right now, so I will take Guoqiang and wait here."
As Li Jingcheng spoke, his eyes glanced over Sun Yuxiu's flat belly, with uneasiness and worry in his eyes.
The child is getting older and older, and it is not an option to keep strangling him like this.
