Yang Lina was warm and sleepy came over her, and she accidentally fell asleep without paying attention.
Li Jingming helped Yang Lina cover herself with quilt and got out of bed gently.
Wang Ying cleaned Li Jingxuan's room, burned the kang, and changed the sheets and quilt covers.
Li Jingming got out of bed and washed his hands, wanting to help Sun Yuxiu. As soon as he put his big hand into the washbasin, Li Jingcheng came back.
"Brother, it's really you who is back."
When Li Jingcheng was in town, he saw Anping's car heading towards his village. He felt a little bit in his heart at that time, thinking that it was his eldest brother who was back, right?
Good guy, when I came back, I saw that he was really back.
Li Jingcheng was carrying several kilograms of meat and some snacks in his hand.
Tonight, he wanted Sun Yuxiu to make some dumplings and let Zhao Wenhu and Zhang Kai come over to the house to sit down.
It would be great to have my eldest brother back.
What Li Jingming didn't know was that news of his return soon spread throughout the village.
After all, in such a big village, only members of the Li family have driven back.
"I was so anxious when I came back that I didn't tell my family whether things were going well at the brick and tile factory."
"There's nothing to do over there right now, and there's been no trouble in the past two days. During the day, Wen Hu and Kai Kai were watching."
Li Jingming said: "Then remember to call them over for dinner tonight."
Li Jingcheng smiled and shook the meat in his hand.
"I just wanted to sit with them tonight. Brother, if you come back unexpectedly, they will definitely be happy when they find out."
As he spoke, Li Jingcheng also washed his hands and carried the meat into the kitchen.
Sun Yuxiu had quietly kneaded the noodles, and the old chicken soup in the pot was tumbling with steam.
Sun Yuxiu asked: "Is sister-in-law asleep?"
"Well, we sat at Anping's house for a while last night. We went back to bed late and got up early this morning. She must be sleepy.
I'll help you cook and let her sleep a little longer."
Li Jingcheng pushed Li Jingming out of the kitchen.
"Brother, you are back after a long time. You go to the village and have a look around. Yuxiu and I will cook."
"You're welcome to follow me. It's so cold, where can I go?
I went to the furniture factory yesterday, and Xiaojun has been back in the past two days, right?"
"Li Xiaojun has been at home these two days. The day before yesterday, he took his child to the brick and tile factory and sat there for a while."
Li Jingming thought that after returning to Yang County this time, he would have to give the furniture factory a holiday.
The factory just let these two dogs and his wife watch.
The weather is really too cold, so other people should go back early to celebrate the New Year.
Li Jingming didn't go out and wander around. The three of them stood in the kitchen making a lot of dumplings.
Sun Yuxiu made more dumplings, so she put the plate she had wrapped on the roof, and within a short time they were frozen into frozen dumplings.
When Yang Lina woke up, Sun Yuxiu had already wrapped the dumplings and prepared six more dishes.
At this moment, Zhang Kaikai, Zhao Wenhu, and the Li brothers were sitting next to the stove, playing cards.
Yang Lina got up and saw four people rubbing their eyes.
She wondered how these four people managed to play cards without making any sound.
When Zhang Kaikai turned around, he saw Yang Lina sitting on the bed stupidly, with a confused look, she looked like a little girl who was still in school.
He wondered how his wife was not doing much work in the fields, so why was she so far behind Yang Lina?
Zhang Kaikai asked loudly: "Do you feel like you are dreaming?
When we were playing cards, your man repeatedly told us to keep our voices low, otherwise he wouldn't come because he was afraid that our loud voices would wake you up."
Li Jingming's long legs under the table kicked his open calf.
"Why are you making such a loud noise? It scared my wife."
"Your wife is such a treasure, it makes me seem like a bachelor."
Zhao Wenhu was laughing on the side, Zhang Kaikai stared at Zhao Wenhu and said.
"You still have the nerve to laugh?
Among the four of us, you are the only one who has not yet married a wife. Do you still have the right to laugh?
You'd better go back and find your wife as soon as possible."
Zhao Wenhu said: "Go, go, don't make fun of me.
I just have no intention of looking for you. If I were to find you, you really think no one would be willing to marry me."
Zhang Kai thought, logically speaking, Zhao Wenhu is now considered a rich and powerful man, why hasn't he found a wife yet?
As a grown man in his thirties, doesn't he want to sleep with his little wife in his arms?
Zhang Kaikai looked at Zhao Wenhu and asked mysteriously: "Are you sick in that area?"
Zhao Wenhu's expression changed immediately, and he gritted his teeth and stared at Zhang Kaikai.
"If you dare to tell me one more thing, I will sew your mouth with a needle today. Do you believe it or not?"
"Trust me, believe me, I am your grandson."
The two brothers Li Jingming couldn't help laughing a few times.
Yang Lina was still in a daze, what were they saying.
She quickly packed her clothes, jumped out of bed and put on her coat, a biting cold wind penetrated her neck.
Li Jingcheng said: "Sister-in-law, we have prepared the meal. Don't go to the kitchen. It's too cold."
Yang Lina said: "I'll go take a look."
When she came to the kitchen, the two pots on the stove were simmering chicken soup and braised pork.
Sun Yuxiu saw that the braised pork was almost done, so she picked up a piece and brought it to Yang Lina's mouth.
"Sister-in-law, try it and see if the meat is ready?"
Yang Lina took a bite and it tasted very good.
"Okay, okay, it tastes good."
Sun Yuxiu took half the pot of braised pork out of the pot and sprinkled some chopped green onion on top. The taste of the braised pork immediately improved a lot.
"Why didn't you call me when you were making dumplings?"
Sun Yuxiu chuckled: "Brother-in-law said that you were tired from the car ride when you came back and asked you to sleep a little longer. He helped us pack it.
Don't worry about the men in the house. Mom has tidied up Jingxuan's room and set the kang on fire. If you're afraid of the noise, go to Jingxuan's room and rest."
"I won't sleep anymore. If I sleep any longer, my head will be exhausted."
Not long after Yang Lina finished speaking, Li's father came back with the little one in his arms.
Yang Lina wanted to hug Guoan, but the little guy gave in and slapped Yang Lina's hand to prevent Yang Lina from hugging her.
Sun Yuxiu smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, please leave him alone. The second brother has a bad temper and loves to cry. Just let dad watch."
Sun Yuxiu went into the room and said to Li Jingcheng: "Jingcheng, when you're done playing this, clear the table and help serve the dishes. I'm going to start cooking dumplings here."
Several grown men quickly finished the last blow and cleared away all the messy things on the table.
Yang Lina helped bring the dishes to the table. Sun Yuxiu and the others did not put them on the table. Instead, they prepared another table in the kitchen and sat down to eat with her parents-in-law.
Sun Yuxiu said to Yang Lina: "Sister-in-law, you go in and eat with your eldest brother. We can just sit here. The room is too small, so many people can't squeeze in together."
