When Li Zhengguo returned home, he met Li Jianguo and Huang Sulan who came to pay back the money. The melon money plus the borrowed money totaled four thousand.
Li Zhengguo took two thousand yuan from his wife and said, "Tiantian, I'll ask Lin Guangde to prepare materials for Dr. Hu."
"Is that enough?"
"I don't know. I'll prepare it first. If I don't have enough, I'll buy it later."
Huang Sulan pushed her husband's arm.
Li Jianguo answered hurriedly, "I'll also provide some. The clinic is from the team."
Li Zhengguo waved his hand, "No, Doctor Hu will not accept funding from others. Plant soybeans on your hills and raise them, and ask my elder brother to bring you fruit seedlings next year."
"Yeah, yeah, it's up to you."
Originally they wanted to buy vegetable seedlings, but Zhengguo asked him to plant soybeans, so he planted soybeans.
His new land should be nurtured.
The couple thanked them profusely and left with the IOU.
…
Li Zhengguo went to find Lin Guangde, and then came back and called his mother, "Mom, please bring some pickles at home to Weikang, and bring two pounds of salt. That fool doesn't know whether he is out of salt or really doesn't want to cook. How many days will it take?"
I almost fainted because I didn’t eat any salt.”
"Oh, I'll go right away."
Mother Li gave the two brothers a hard scolding, focusing on Weiwei for not being attentive enough. He was already nine years old and it was time to learn how to cook. His eldest brother had to earn money to support him. Isn't that hard?
Weiwei was also scared and nodded with red eyes, "Third uncle, I'll learn."
…
When the materials for Dr. Yang's new house arrived, Captain Ou called on dozens of people to help.
A well-dressed couple, holding a white three-year-old boy in their arms, followed by a man carrying two net bags, stopped here and asked the person who was helping to build the house for the address of Li Jianguo's home.
Li Jianguo, who was moving bricks, raised his head when he heard the sound, "Brother Chen? Sister-in-law? Why are you here?"
Brother Chen smiled, "It's been three years, and I haven't thanked you properly for saving my life. I feel really bad about it, so I brought my baby here in person."
Li Jianguo put down the bricks in his hands and patted the dust on his body, "Let's go, I'll take you home to sit down."
The sister-in-law immediately backed away in disgust, "Brother Jianguo, back then my husband said he would help you find a job in the provincial capital, but you have to come back. What are you doing here? Just dealing with the soil every day?"
These words made the man who built the house look very excited.
Originally, they were envious when they saw that this couple was well-dressed and came to see Li Jianguo.
I envy Li Jianguo and his wife when they took their daughter to the provincial capital. Not only did they take good care of their daughter's fingers, they also met a noble person.
This is the attitude of a noble person...
Li Jianguo seemed to be used to this kind of attitude from women, "Hey, sister-in-law is joking. I am an old farmer. Apart from having a lot of strength, I don't know anything else except farming, and I am also at ease when I come back."
"You just accept death. Okay, okay, leave quickly, you're going to choke someone."
The group of people left, and the people who built the house immediately started talking.
"What are you doing? Working as a foreigner? Work quickly!"
Supervisor Ou heard a messy sound in the distance and shouted loudly.
"Captain, someone from Li Jianguo is here, from the provincial capital."
"Yes, yes, wearing white clothes..."
"If you don't know what to say, don't rush to say it. That's really good."
"Yes, it's white, it's really cool. It looks very cool. She's also wearing big leather shoes with two joints, so she's very stylish."
Captain Ou waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and work. It's not like you can't afford it. Why are you envious of others?"
"I can afford it, but who wears that stuff? I can't work. Besides, the money has to be used to buy the foundation."
"By the way, talking about the foundation, let me tell you, it's only until the end of September, no waiting after that."
Captain Ou's words made the house builder immediately change the topic.
…
At the end of the village, after entering Li Jianguo's house, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The countryside is dirty."
Huang Sulan, who was greeting the guests, didn't care. She wiped the stool with her sleeve and said, "Sister-in-law, sit down."
The woman sat down reservedly.
Brother Chen also sat down with the boy in his arms.
The man who followed handed the net bag in his hand to Li Jianguo.
There were canned biscuits and toffees in the net pocket. Li Jianguo rubbed his hands, "Why, how can this be so embarrassing?"
The woman waved her hand, "Here you go, just accept it. Just take it from my house and it will expire if you don't eat it."
"Then, I'll accept it."
"Take it."
Li Jianguo collected the things and moved out of the dining table, "Brother Chen, sister-in-law, can you stay for dinner? I asked my wife to buy vegetables."
"Buying vegetables? Where can I buy vegetables in this remote country?"
"Next door to the east, the vegetables from his vegetable shed are open for takeout. They also have dried game. I will buy some for Brother Chen and my sister-in-law to try."
"Game?" The woman glanced at her husband and nodded, "Okay then, let's try the game from your mountains."
Huang Sulan came to buy game and vegetables. Tian Jing was stunned, "Don't you also have a vegetable shed at home?"
"None of the vegetables we grow are as tasty as yours. Isn't this a distinguished guest at home?"
Huang Sulan spoke with pride, "You are from the provincial capital, and you have come all the way. Of course we have to treat you with the best things."
From the provincial capital? Tian Jing understood.
"Grandpa Chen is in the vegetable shed. You just go pick it, and I'll get you the game right away."
"Oh~ don't climb up and down, I'll get it." Mother Li left her four grandchildren behind and went into the kitchen.
Huang Sulan looked at Tian Jing's belly, "Is this happening again?"
"Well, it's been four months."
"Congratulations, you will definitely get what you want this time."
"Thank you, I also hope this is a girl."
Huang Sulan carried a dried pheasant and a dried hare and went to the vegetable shed to pick various vegetables.
When Grandpa Chen collected the money, he casually asked, "Are you a visitor?"
Huang Sulan also replied casually: "Yes, I am from the provincial capital. By the way, my surname is Chen. Isn't it said that people with the surname Chen in the world belong to the same family?"
Grandpa Chen's eyes flashed, "That's all nonsense. If everyone with the same surname belongs to the same family, how can we still deal with it?"
Huang Sulan added casually, "But that person's ancestral home is from the provincial capital?"
Grandpa Chen waved her away, "Go back and entertain the guests quickly."
After Huang Sulan left, Grandpa Chen locked the vegetable shed.
Tian Jing was surprised, "Grandpa Chen? Who is watching in the vegetable shed?"
"I locked it, Tian Jing, I have something to say to you."
Seeing Grandpa Chen's serious expression, Tian Jing agreed, "Let's talk in the room."
"No, let's go to the mountains."
Deep in the mountains? Big event? "Well, let me tell my mother."
When we arrived at the back mountain, Grandpa Chen made another request, "Take me to the Eagle's Mouth, please?"
As people age, they become better, and I am talking about Grandpa Chen.
Seeing Tian Jing's hesitation, Grandpa Chen smiled and said, "Xiaofu wants a dog, so I coaxed him a few words."
Tian Jing was annoyed. It’s better to keep a secret like a little baby.
Standing on the top of the Eagle Mouth Mountain, Grandpa Chen was so excited that tears filled his eyes, "Being able to stand here, I will die with no regrets."
"Grandpa Chen, you are in good health."
"That's what I say, but things are fickle. Let's find a place to talk."
Tian Jing took him to Qingsongyan.
After browsing the Hot Spring Valley from a high position, and then seeing the three caves and the items inside, Grandpa Chen nodded, "Okay, okay, this is indeed a good place, I can really feel relieved."
Tian Jing moved out a stool and said, "Sit down."
Let Grandpa Chen sit while she went down the mountain and picked a few ripe apples from the hot spring valley.
