Because Mr. Dou lives in this house all year round and cleans it from time to time, Zhao Qinglan and the others can move in after just a little tidying up.
This courtyard has just been entered, but it is larger than the house the family had in the military family home.
At least three children don't have to squeeze into one room.
However, Erwa insisted on living in a room with her brother. Considering that the children were still young, Zhao Qinglan let them go.
Xiaoduo, on the other hand, looked at her daughter's expectant eyes, and Zhao Qinglan had no choice but to look at her husband.
"Today, I will take Xiaoduo to sleep."
"Okay." Li Huai said helplessly,
Otherwise, what else could he say? He would not be able to sleep with his sweet-smelling and soft wife, not to mention how regretful he felt.
After Zhang Yu dropped them off, he didn't want to cause any trouble to them, so he left after a while.
Although he was a sleeper on the train and didn't suffer too much, Zhao Qinglan still felt quite tired after packing up.
The family didn't even bother making a fire to cook. They called Old Man Dou and went out to eat together.
For their first meal in Beijing, they went to a famous roast duck restaurant.
Roast duck can be said to be a special dish in Beijing.
Zhao Qinglan had naturally eaten it in her previous life, but this was her first time in the capital.
Therefore, she could only pretend not to know how to do it and watch Li Huai demonstrate to her.
After Li Huai himself wrote a tutorial and gave it to her, the three children started eating and playing in the same way.
Old Man Dou is also a lover of food, but he would not easily eat roast duck alone.
This time, Li Huai and his family are having dinner together, and the old man is also very happy.
Mother Zhang felt strange that her son came back early.
"Didn't you go to pick up Li Huai?"
"They have been received, and I sent them to their home. I am not talking about mom, but my Aunt Liu is really foresighted." Zhang Yu admired him from the bottom of his heart.
"What do you mean by that? Why are you involved with Aunt Liu?" Zhang's mother became curious.
"Am I such a senseless person?" Zhang's mother asked angrily.
"Aunt Liu, I even left a yard for Li Huai. We can't let the other side know about it, otherwise we won't know what to do."
Zhang's mother was very surprised, but she immediately became happy for Li Huai.
"That's great. At least Li Huai has a home in the capital."
"you do not say."
"By the way, have you met Li Huai's family?"
"I saw them. The children are quite cute, and his wife looks pretty good too."
Knowing that Li Huai didn't want Li Zhenhua and the others to know that he had returned to Beijing for the time being, Zhang's mother gave up the idea of asking Li Huai and the others to come home for dinner.
However, I immediately searched for suitable things at home, thinking that I would take my son with me when he went there again.
Zhao Qinglan and the others were enjoying themselves happily, but Yu Huimin was not very comfortable at home.
After Li Zhenhua made that phone call before, Li Huai didn't ask Zhang Yu to find someone to beat Li Wei again.
After all, Li Huai is not stupid. If Li Zhenhua wants to be serious, it would be bad to find Zhang Yu and harm his friends.
It just so happened that Li Zhenhua also felt this was embarrassing and kept it secret from his wife and youngest son.
Since his youngest son was no longer beaten, he had completely let this matter go and had no intention of pursuing it further.
In fact, he didn't dare to admit that he still felt guilty for Li Huai, his eldest son.
However, because of this incident, Li Zhenhua's resentment towards his wife came back again.
He felt that if his wife was not dissatisfied and tossing around, where could these things come from?
The two brothers, who were obviously related by blood, now looked like enemies.
He once dreamed that his two sons could support each other and jointly revitalize his Li family.
Because of this, Li Zhenhua doesn't come home on time as before.
This also resulted in Huimin feeling insecure and always in a bad mood while trying to make money.
When her son came back from the Chinese New Year holiday, Yu Huimin thought things would be better.
Little did she know that her son was always away from home during the holidays, so she thought she was annoyed.
As for the blind dates she arranged, they fell through because of her son's lack of cooperation. It's surprising that she was in a good mood.
She was in a bad mood, and her attitude towards her aunt at home was even worse. She was really suffering and couldn't tell her.
Finally, after she couldn't bear it anymore, the aunt broke the pot and said that she had to go home for the Chinese New Year this year and could no longer work here. If that didn't work, she would have to hire someone else to do the work.
Yu Huimin was directly defeated, but she was also surprised that she didn't say she didn't want her aunt, but she still complained a lot.
Maybe, she also knows that there are not many aunties who can tolerate her and still fuck her.
As soon as this aunt left, all the work at home fell on Yu Huimin.
It's not that she doesn't know how to do it. After all, she has lived through hard times, but she has rarely done anything in these years of pampering.
This person has a hard time transitioning from extravagance to frugality.
She thought she would be fine without her aunt, but after just two days, she couldn't bear it anymore.
Not only could she not stand it, but even her son started to complain, saying bluntly that the food at home was not delicious, which made Yu Huimin, who worked hard to cook, angry.
She just felt that ever since her husband discovered that she had done that thing, she had been having a bad time.
In my heart, I just wish that Li Huai, the "culprit", would die soon.
Li Huai, who was resented by her, was currently discussing matters with his wife.
"Qinglan, do you think we should go to my mother's cemetery someday?"
Zhao Qinglan had long felt that it was appropriate to go to her mother-in-law's place to worship her.
"Any time is fine, you can arrange it."
"Qinglan, mom will definitely like you."
Alas, it is a pity that such a good person is no longer alive, and Zhao Qinglan is also a little confused.
That night, Zhao Qinglan took her daughter to bed.
But Li Huai and Old Man Dou chatted happily over Erguotou while eating peanuts.
In the past few years, although Li Huai would write letters to the elderly, he always reported good news but not bad news.
This time, they all met, and the old man also asked him carefully about what happened in the past few years.
Precisely because there is Mr. Dou, an elder who truly cares for him, in this courtyard, he feels that this place feels more like home. It is also the best choice for him to settle down after returning to the capital.
The two of them talked like grandparents and grandchildren.
From Li Huai, the old man also learned a lot about Zhao Qinglan.
The old man was still so tolerant and did not look down on Zhao Qinglan because of her past.
Instead, he told Li Huai, "I have brought my daughter all the way to marry you, so you have to be nicer to my mother-in-law."
"Grandpa Dou, don't worry, do I seem to be an irresponsible person?" Li Huai blinked.
"You brat, I didn't praise you and you're still out of breath." The old man scolded with a smile.
Li Huai also became extremely relaxed in front of the old man, and he was more lively and humorous than usual.
If Zhao Qinglan saw Li Huai at this time, I'm afraid he would be surprised.
