Li Guowei didn't take his parents' cold shoulder to heart. When his wife was scolded by his father-in-law, she said, "We're all family. Which child doesn't get a beating?" She just took it as a joke to amuse her parents.

With his wife's words already in mind, Li Guowei still replied with a smile, "Isn't it because there's no one else at my wife's house? My father-in-law said that everything in the house will belong to my son from now on. I'm just thinking of the family. Besides, Mother, you don't need any more grandsons!"

"You're right, get out! My family is about to eat!" Li Liangcai said without even looking up, telling him to leave. He couldn't understand how his perfectly good son had become so shameless.

His own father had never spoken to him in such a tone before, and Li Guowei panicked a little. But then he remembered what his wife had told him before she came back: he had to take something back for her to nourish her.

"Dad!" he said, drawing out his voice in a long, cloying tone, just like his wife.

“You go back first, your parents are still hungry!” said the eldest son, Li Guoding.

Li Guowei assumed his older brother was trying to smooth things over, since he was a nice guy. So, he didn't forget to slip two steamed buns into his pocket before leaving.

Li Liangcai just wanted him to leave quickly and couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to his little tricks. The self-righteous Li Guowei was unaware that he had completely lost his place in the Li family.

After everyone left, the atmosphere at the Li family's house became much more subdued, and they were quiet during the meal.

"Brother Ming, do you think if we succeed in making that thing, we can get a job in town?" The fourth brother, Li Guoxing, broke the tense atmosphere in the Li family with his words.

After Xie Ming's accident in his previous life, this teenager went to the mountains to find someone and broke his leg. After that, he gave up on himself and stayed at home for more than ten years.

It wasn't until the late 1980s that he finally figured it out and went to the south to learn the craft of making leather shoes. He also made a decent living by gambling.

Yes, he's a gambler, the kind who wins nine out of ten times. His invincibility isn't due to good luck, but because he has a brilliant mind; most people simply can't outsmart him.

In later generations, he would definitely be considered a promising science student. If that incident hadn't distorted his personality, he might have had a very different life.

Xie Ming felt quite regretful; it's a bit unfair to his country if such a talented person doesn't serve it.

The boy just turned 13 or 14 this year and is very curious, so Xie Ming came up with the idea of ​​seducing him.

After moving to the Li family's house, he promptly dismantled the radio that was installed in the main room. It was the "wooden box" that he dismantled when Xu Guoqing came to the Li family that day.

That thing was a wired radio, which Li Liangcai bought from the town.

It was an old item, and it broke after only a short time of use. It's been hanging there as a decoration ever since.

Xie Ming only figured out how to discipline that kid after seeing it that day.

The radio consists of six major components: resistor, capacitor, inductor, transformer, transistor, and speaker. After it was made in the 1970s, people liked to put it in a small wooden box, so it was also called a radio box.

Knowing that Xie Ming could fix things, Li Liangcai waved his hand and told him to take it apart and do whatever he wanted. So Xie Ming got Li's fourth son involved and tinkered with it for several days.

"Of course I can, why not? I'd even have to open a factory just for you!" Li Liangcai stared at his son, amused, at a loss for words.

"Uncle, you know what, it's actually quite possible. You know, our province is a major industrial province, it's not impossible for the town to get a sister factory."

Xie Ming spoke while picking at the rice in his bowl.

Having seen the world in his younger days, Li Liangcai thought it might not be impossible. His mind immediately started racing with ideas. Once the topic left the Li family, they could finally eat and talk happily again.

As Li Guowei was leaving the Li family's house, he ran into a relative near the edge of the village. After chatting for a while, he learned that Xie Ming had gone to stay at his house. Not being particularly bright, he didn't think much of it and went back to his father-in-law's house.

The problem is that he doesn't care, but his wife is very shrewd. When she saw that her husband had been sent home without eating, and that there was a stranger living in the house, she immediately guessed that the Li family was going to give up on the two of them.

Furthermore, the Li family couldn't accommodate everyone, so where did Xie Ming stay when he came over? She kept asking her husband for a long time.

When Li Guowei returned home with two steamed buns, he had no idea what had happened at home.

Li Weiguo's wife punched her stupid husband a few times, and then decided that she had to go back to the Li family home to check on things the next day.

Early winter in Lingxia Village is freezing cold. Li Guowei and his wife waited until after noon, when the sun was still strong, before carrying their bundles and hurrying to Lingxia Village.

“Ah Wei, let me tell you, if your parents really let Xie Ming live in our house, I won’t allow it. He’s mine no matter what.”

“I know what I’m doing. I’m in charge of that family. If they keep that Xie guy around, I won’t take care of them in their old age!”

"Which family the second brother supports in their old age is your older brother's business, don't be stupid. You're sending money home, and your parents are already giving money to your older brother. You're just being foolish! Humph!"

"Yes, yes, yes, my wife is right. It's thanks to you explaining it to me in such detail that I really wouldn't know the ins and outs."

"That's right, only my parents are the best to us. Remember that! Our son should also be taught to be filial to them in the future."

The couple walked and talked about their future plans.

You can't hear the other voice desperately calling out at all.

"Father, Mother! Don't go back to the Li family! I don't want to stay in the Li family, waaaaah~" The embryo in Li Guowei's wife's belly cried so hard that its voice cracked, but unfortunately, no one could hear its cries because of the language barrier.

"Wife! Is that you, wife?" Xu Nianzu was overjoyed to hear the familiar voice.

"Nianzu, is that you?"

"It's me! It's me! It's definitely me!"

Where are you?

"I was inside my mother's belly!"

"Me too"
