"You know very well that I won't take this money. Tomorrow morning you will hand it to the village party secretary in front of the villagers and ask him to return the money to the villagers.
It rained heavily this time, thanks to the help of the villagers."
Li Jingming doesn't like to owe others. If others treat him well, he will repay them two or three times.
Just like this bridge, if he said he would be responsible to the end, he would definitely be responsible to the end.
"Okay, I understand, brother, I will return it to the village party secretary tomorrow morning."
Li Jingming agreed and put the money into his pocket.
"Don't worry about the brick and tile factory. I will go back to the city with your sister-in-law tomorrow. There are a lot of things going on at the furniture factory and hot pot restaurant, so I may not be able to take care of them for a while.
Also, tell Wenhu and Kaifang to install a phone in the factory so that we can communicate with each other. If anything happens in the factory, I can know as soon as possible and rush back."
Li Jingming warned that the village party secretary and his family were the only ones in the village who had a telephone. The brick and tile factory needed to have contact with the outside world, so it was time to install a telephone.
"I understand, brother, it's not that repairing the bridge for the villagers has taken up our time to catch up on the work. Let's catch up on the work at hand these days, and then contact someone to install the phone after we have been busy for the past few days."
"Well, just worry about it."
The two brothers talked about something else, and then Li Jingming went into the yard and locked the door.
The next day, Li Jingming made breakfast early in the morning, went to the brick and tile factory to settle accounts, and then settled some things.
On Yang Lina's side, she was busy packing her things, had a simple meal at noon, and the family of three, together with Liang Shan, set off for the county seat.
Before departure, the people in the village brought a lot of local products to the young couple, and Li Jingming's trunk was full.
On the way, Yang Lina looked at the poplar trees with yellow leaves outside the car window and felt that this kind of ordinary life was really nice.
As soon as the car arrived at the county seat, Li Jingming first sent Yang Lina back to the courtyard.
Xue Yurou and Su Zhanpeng took Su Yi to look at the yard in the courtyard. Yang Lina suddenly came back, and Xue Yurou couldn't close her mouth with joy.
The old couple originally planned to take time to see Yang Lina, but they didn't expect them to come back so soon.
Xue Yurou thought about her efforts in the recent period, and while she was worried, she also looked forward to whether Yang Lina would jump with excitement when she saw the results she had made, or whether she would blame her for making unauthorized claims.
Xue Yurou thought of this and said happily:
"I also want to come with your father to see you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You guys will be back soon."
Xue Yurou originally planned to go to Yangjiacun to see Yang Lina, but she thought that she had caused a lot of trouble to Wang Ying last time. In addition, Ye Wenwen had a cold recently, and Chen Yue was afraid of infecting Su Yi, so the old couple brought the child to the courtyard to feed them, so they decided to go
After seeing what happened to Yang Lina, I stopped.
"We are all back. There are many people and strength. Bridges and schools have been built. Hot pot restaurants and furniture factories are busy, so we are back.
The school and the bridge were completed yesterday, and the only regret is that you and dad were not there."
Logically speaking, Xue Yurou and Su Zhanpeng should be at the scene, but Yang Lina really didn't want to see Hu Fengqin's complaining eyes.
As Yang Lina spoke, she classified some of the dishes and noodles that Li Jingming brought in and put them in the kitchen. She found bags and divided them into portions to put them together.
"Good to be back, good to be back. During your absence, I helped you change the mattresses and quilts in all the rooms. I also bought you several new sets of sheets and quilt covers."
Xue Yurou muttered, and Yang Lina smiled warmly, feeling overflowing with happiness.
She was not idle during this period. She contacted Beijing and made sheets and quilt covers of fine fabrics, which were specially mailed from Beijing.
If it weren't for Yang Lina's absence, she would have wanted to help Yang Lina renovate the courtyard.
And the house they bought has been decorated within a month. Xue Yurou asked friends to bring many things back from Hong Kong. There is no shortage of household items inside, and you can move in directly.
As soon as Yang Lina entered the door, she was dirty. Before she could go to the bedroom to take a look, she tidied the kitchen first and then went to the bedroom.
The beds in the bedroom were all replaced by new ones by Xue Yurou. There were two exquisite mahogany bedside tables on both sides of the huge mahogany bed, with two exquisite crystal table lamps on them. The dressing table was also replaced by Xue Yurou with carved mahogany ones.
There was a wool blanket spread on the dressing table, and Yang Lina's daily facial oil and daily necessities were placed on it.
The same goes for the wardrobe and sofa in the bedroom. The only thing that hasn't changed is that the pillow made by Yang Lina is still on the sofa.
The living room, bookshelf, desk, sofa and coffee table were all replaced with mahogany. Even the curtains were replaced, and there was an additional color TV.
Yang Lina looked at the house that had been improved by many levels, and immediately covered her mouth with excitement, tears flashing in her eyes.
What she saw was a mother full of love.
"How's it going? Do you like it?"
Xue Yurou stood next to Yang Lina, looking expectantly at Yang Lina's surprise.
"I like it, thank you mom, I really don't know how to thank you."
Yang Lina swallowed harder, turned around suddenly and hugged Xue Yurou tightly.
"You silly boy, why don't you say thank you?
Okay, okay, don’t cry, don’t cry.”
Xue Yurou felt Yang Lina's trembling shoulders, smiled kindly, and gently stroked Yang Lina's vest with her palms.
"Okay, okay, how old are you to still cry?
Mom also changed other rooms that needed to be changed for you. Mom decided to live in your courtyard house when she comes to Yang County from now on. It’s very comfortable to live here.”
Yang Lina wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled sweetly, and walked around in other rooms happily.
She couldn't imagine these furniture now that she was rich. She stayed in Yangjiacun for a long time this time, and Xue Yurou helped her pack it up when she came back.
"Before moving these furniture, my parents originally thought of calling you to get your permission, but we wanted to give you a surprise, so we didn't notify you.
There is also the house next to the kitchen. I asked someone to move the debris inside to the house next to the bathroom. A dining table was placed in that house, so I no longer have to sit under the eaves to eat. The house is big.
It’s warmer when there are more people sitting there.”
Xue Yurou followed Yang Lina and explained carefully. Yang Lina nodded excitedly.
"Mom, I don't dare to recognize this house after you changed it. It looks nice, but it's really expensive. Next time, remember to tell me before making a decision."
"OK, no problem."
Seeing that Yang Lina was satisfied, Xue Yurou felt relieved.
"When you come back tonight, how about we go to your restaurant to have hot pot?"
"Mom, why don't we make dumplings?
Let my brother and sister-in-law, as well as grandpa and Aunt Ye come to our house to eat dumplings in the evening. Grandpa likes to eat the braised pork I made. I will make some tonight too."
