By the time everyone in the family had finished leaving, it was almost nine o'clock.
Li Chu glanced at Xu Yang, who had just packed his things, and said, "Yangyang, if you don't want children for the time being, just tell your mother clearly and don't make your parents anxious."
"Uncle, you can see it."
"How can I tell this? I just understand a little bit of your thoughts."
Xu Yang thought for a while and nodded and said: "I understand, uncle, I will make it clear to my mother when we get back. It's not that we don't want children, we just want to wait another two years."
"I understand, but we still need to communicate carefully and don't let them worry. I think your parents are quite open-minded."
"Thank you, uncle."
"You're welcome. After all, I watched you grow up. By the way, how is your father-in-law?"
"It's okay. Although Xiaoqin's two brothers didn't do well in school before, they are good at farm work. We went back a few days ago and looked around. They grew vegetables and raised chickens that were pretty good. Her eldest brother
I just found a partner."
"Live a good life. Go back and help your parents when you have nothing to do. If the second child is not at home, I will rely on you."
"I know, uncle."
"Okay, go inside, I'll just dump the ashes out."

October 2nd
At five o'clock in the morning, as soon as it dawned, people were already coming and going in the yard.
Everything that needs to be prepared is ready, and everything that needs to be cleaned up is neatly packed. There are too many people in front of them, especially Li Wenhui’s classmates and friends, who are all strangers to the dogs. Li Chu is worried about scaring them, so he leads the
Several dogs were sitting in the pavilion in the back garden drinking tea with my brother-in-law.
"How are you? You feel bad, right?" Wang Ziwen took a sip of tea and asked with a smile while looking at his depressed brother-in-law.
"Forget about brother-in-law, my heart aches when I think of my daughter, who I have worked so hard to raise, marrying someone else."
"It will take a few days to get used to it. This is not the case for raising daughters."
"Hey..." Li Chu shook his head helplessly.
Having said that, he also comforted himself, but when the day came for his daughter to get married, he still felt filled with panic.
Wen Hui is still married to her. They work in the same unit and see each other every day.
He couldn't imagine how parents would accept those who married hundreds or thousands of kilometers away. It would be better if there were more children in the family, but what about families with only one child?
"Don't you go and take a look at the front?"
"I won't go. I'll go over when I hear the sound of cannons. They're restless in front." Li Chu gestured with his chin to the dogs squatting outside the pavilion.
"Hey, Brother Chu and Brother Ziwen, you two can hide away."
Xu Damao walked over from the corridor and said as he walked.
"Da Mao, you've worked hard today, come and have some tea."
Li Chu took out a clean teacup and poured another glass of water.
"Why bother? My niece's wedding is a big deal."
"Is your master comfortable with using the things over there?"
"The guy over there has everything in order. Some of the things are better than what I have in the store. What's wrong with me? Hey, I just came over to see all the big sedans coming over."
"Well, we from the hospital will have to pull people over here later, otherwise it will be too far to get there."
"How did you remember to put it there?"
"The old man made the order and said it would be cleaner over there. I don't think it will be clean today. Damao, how many tables are there for the dishes there?"
"Fifty tables, ten tables reserved."
"I'll give you some red envelopes later, and you can help me pass them on to the master chef and the helpers later."
"Brother Chu, your son-in-law gave it to you the day before yesterday."
"He is him and I am me, it's different."
"Okay, I'll thank them on their behalf."
As time went by, more and more people came in front. When Zhao Zhijun appeared in the corridor, Li Chu knew that he could no longer sit here.
After thinking about it, he tied up the dogs in the back garden and followed Zhao Zhijun to the front.
…
Looking at Wen Hui who was kneeling in front of him and kowtowing three times, Li Chu resisted the soreness in his nose and pulled her up. He also pulled up Shen Yi, who was kneeling next to him, and walked to the side with his arms around his shoulders.
"Mom, why is my dad dragging Xiaoyi along?"
"It's okay, he just wanted to explain something to Xiaoyi."
Li Chu looked back and saw that no one was in front of him, so he whispered: "Xiao Yi, when I married Hui Hui's mother, her grandfather said something to me, and I will give it to you now."
"Dad, tell me."
"From the time my daughter was born in our family until now, her mother and I have not been willing to lay a finger on her. If she does anything wrong in the future, you come and tell me. I will teach her that it is the son's fault that he does not teach his father. It was her fault at the time, and I can apologize to you, but you are not allowed to take action or scold her."
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment after hearing what his father-in-law said, and then said in a dumbfounded voice: "Dad, you should tell Hui Hui this. She has been practicing boxing with you for more than ten years. If she doesn't hit me in the future, I will be like Amitabha." , how dare you touch her."
The son-in-law's words made Li Chu stunned for a moment. He stretched out his hand and pinched his arm, and then he said, "You need to exercise, this little body is not strong enough to withstand beatings."
Shen Yi's eyes almost bulged, and he didn't know how to answer the question.
"Okay, I take back what I just said. If Hui Hui bullies you in the future, you can also come to me to complain."
"Dad, what did you say?"
Neither Weng nor son-in-law noticed, but at some point Li Wenhui and Ding Qiunan came up behind them and happened to hear the last words Li Chu said.
Wen Hui stamped her feet and said reluctantly.
"Okay." Ding Qiunan patted her daughter's hand holding her arm.
"It's almost time. Let them set off. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later."
"Okay." Li Chu patted Shen Yi on the shoulder: "Go and take your bride back to the new house."
"Okay dad, mom, let's go there first."
"Mom and Dad, let's go first."
"Let's go, let's go, your friends are all impatient." Li Chu waved his hand.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, a group of young people set off on bicycles, shouting.
Seeing these children walking away, Li Chu said to Zhao Zhijun: "Give them a greeting and let them get on the bus."
"Okay director."
…
At about seven o'clock in the evening, the yard was quiet, and Li Chu was sitting on a stone bench, throwing buns to a few dogs from time to time.
They seemed to know what today meant to the little mistress, and they were all listless while eating. They were not like before, swallowing one bun in two mouthfuls and then turning around to ask for another.
The sound of "ta da da da" footsteps came from the front yard. Ding Qiunan walked over from the front yard. When she saw her husband sitting there, she shook her head helplessly.
