The next day, when the villagers saw the car on the roadside of the village, they knew that Mayor Li was back.
Li Min came with his two grandsons who had just woken up:
"Brother, sister-in-law, where are the gifts?"
Chen Jiqing and Chen Jixiang rubbed the shit out of their eyes: "Grandma, why don't you brush our teeth and wash our faces just for the sake of gifts?"
"Isn't it the same as brushing your teeth and washing your face here?" Li Min said nonchalantly:
"Quickly ask your uncle and aunt for gifts."
The two children ignored grandma and went to the bathroom hand in hand.
Seeing that Li Min didn't care about the baby, Tian Jing hurriedly took out the gifts: "Here, you envy the woolen coat and the long red down jacket."
Then he put the two bags on the sofa: "Hurry up and take care of the two kids to wash up, and come over later to try them on."
Li Min was satisfied, turned around and chased out of the living room.
Tian Jing took out the clothes and toys she bought for her two children.
Finally, I took out the down jacket and down pants I bought for my mother-in-law, and several woolen sweaters for the elderly.
Ouyang Meihua knew that Tian Jing was back, so she and her husband came over to take a look.
Of course, I also received a souvenir - a down jacket for each person.
After taking care of her two grandsons, Li Min came over to try on clothes. When she saw the purple down jacket that her sister-in-law was trying on, she couldn't help but ask:
"Sister-in-law, you won't just get the large, medium and small sizes for one style, right?"
Tian Jing raised her eyebrows: "How do you know?"
Li Min pointed at Tian Jing's yellow down jacket: "Yours is the same as my sister-in-law's. Except for the different color."
"Yes, I have a good eye for it." Tian Jing nodded: "It's a big brand, just focus on the style, there's not much to be particular about."
As long as she can bring gifts back, does she have to carefully select each person?
Who knows how time-consuming shopping is?
Mother Li called out that it was time for dinner, so the few people here took off their new clothes and went to the restaurant to eat.
At the dinner table, Li's mother announced that she would go to Kyoto to accompany Lili tomorrow.
Ouyang Meihua doesn't matter.
Li Min became anxious: "Mom, what should I do if Hua'er gives birth and is in confinement?"
"Aren't you a human?" Mother Li glanced sideways at her daughter: "That is your daughter-in-law, and she gave birth to your grandson. I am here to take care of my granddaughter."
Ouyang Meihua hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with Lili? Does she need someone to take care of her?"
"It's okay." Mother Li waved her hand: "I just heard from Tiantian that Lili is busy working in the company and writing her graduation thesis at the same time."
"I felt sorry for Lili staying up late, so I went over to take care of her for a few days. When Xiaobo gets married, Lili and I will go directly from Kyoto."
Ouyang Meihua looked at Tian Jing, who nodded: "Xiao Bo's wedding is scheduled for May 15th, and will be held in Bei Province. We, the family, will go there together."
Li Min counted on his fingers: "At that time, Hua'er's belly was already seven months old. If she can't go, Xiaofu can't go. I'll go with Brother Suo Zhu."
Ouyang Meihua pointed to herself and her husband: "Our family has tentatively decided that we and I will go there. We still have to ask about Barley and Wheat."
Li Zhengguo waved his hand: "I will buy a seven-seater car when the time comes."
"Brother, you can drive my mother to Kyoto tomorrow."
"Shall I see him off?" Li Liguo was a little timid.
"I'll go with you." Ouyang Meihua patted her husband on the shoulder: "You can't come that far alone, so I'll go with you instead."
Li Liguo was no longer timid: "Okay."
Mother Li was extremely satisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law's cheerfulness: "When we get there, you can stay a few more days and see Xiaoyu by the way."
"Xiaoyu is about to graduate. Do she also have to write a graduation thesis?"
"When I go and ask him if he wants to live with Lili, I will take care of them both together."
Li Min poked at her husband: "Call An An and ask if you want me to take care of him."
"Pull you down." Mother Li scolded her daughter: "You can just stay at home and take care of the flowers and Ji Qing Ji Xiang."
"You go take care of An An. I guess An An won't be able to graduate this year."
"Mom." Li Min was dissatisfied with what her mother said about her: "You and your sister-in-law are concerned about Lili and Xiaoyu. Even if I don't take action, I still have to move my mouth, right?"
"Yes, you are right." Mother Li waved her hand: "Hurry up and eat. You will prepare lunch later. I want to bring the stew to Lili and Xiaoyu."
Mother Li is busy, no matter how her sons and daughters celebrate the Lantern Festival.
Yuan Man and Damai brought five-year-old Yuan Fang to the courtyard house to ask about the chef named Yuan from Northern Province.
His cousin's family of three went to Northern Province to meet the descendants of the Yuan family, but they didn't even call him back.
All Tian Jing knew was the taste of the food and the few words Zeng Jinrong asked.
With this bit of news, Yuan Man was relieved: "Yuan Jinzhang is my cousin, and this little Yuan should be his descendant. I didn't expect that there could be another one passed down from my cousin."
Tian Jing asked them to stay for dinner, and then asked Li Zhengguo to invite Dr. Yang over.
After leaving Damai behind, she asked Damai if he would go to Xiaobo's wedding.
Damai must go to support the crowd, and we can't let the people there think that the Li family is small.
Yuan Man will wait and see. If there is no major incident in the health center, he will ask for leave and go together.
When Dr. Yang arrived, he made a direct decision: "Xiao Bo is getting married. As my cousin-in-law, you must go. When the time comes, I will take your place at the health center."
In this way, Damai's family of three decided.
After lunch, Damai stayed behind to help grandma sort out the items to take to Kyoto.
Mother Li was eager to move her whole family, and she also tied up a few pheasants and hares, and asked her two sons to make cages for her so that they could be raised in cages there.
Tian Jing put the tied pheasants and rabbits back on the first floor: "Mom, get up tomorrow morning and tie them again. They will become wilted this night. It will be difficult to raise them after you go to Beijing."
"Yeah, yeah, that's right, we'll tie them up tomorrow morning." Mother Li responded, and urged her two sons to make a cage quickly, one that could be folded and not take up space in the car.
Li Zhengguo's "..." mother regarded him and his eldest brother as omnipotent.
The brothers got a bunch of hinges and thought about folding a cage for chickens and rabbits.
After the two brothers saw what their mother was preparing to bring out, they quickly drove the car over and asked their mother to see how to install it.
Mother Li pointed to the back seat: "Tear it down."
Demolished?
Li Zhengguo hurriedly comforted his mother: "Mom, don't worry, let's exchange a pickup truck with someone else and come back."
The brothers drove their car directly to the city, knocked on the door of a car dealership, and bought a pickup truck.
Mother Li was satisfied: "Who is so generous that they directly lent you their car?"
Li Zhengguo patted his chest: "How can I lose face as a mayor? Don't worry, it will be fine if you use it for a few more days."
Mother Li was very relieved and added more things. It was not easy to go there, so how could we not bring more?
As a result, not only were the pickup truck compartments stacked extremely high, but half of the back seat of the pickup truck was occupied by wild eggs.
"Mom, there are too many wild eggs, they are spoiled."
"Don't be afraid, marinate it."
"Mom, there are too many vegetables, and they are ruined."
"Don't be afraid, make pickled vegetables."
"mother……"
"Shut up! You're so verbose." Mother Li glared at her younger son with dissatisfaction: "Go to the village and borrow canvas to tie up the car."
In the middle of the night, I tied up the extra-high trunk compartment.
At five o'clock in the morning, Mother Li got up to catch pheasants and hares.
The original plan was to have five pheasants and hares each, but ended up with twenty each.
Under the back seat, one by one, they were lying in a neat line.
Want to move? Unless you know how to shrink your bones.
Ouyang Meihua slapped her forehead, she might as well have dismantled the back seat of the car.
She has to clean up chicken shit and rabbit urine.
Tian Jing pursed her lips to hold back a smile: "Sister-in-law, you have worked so hard."
