Chapter 458 Children and grandchildren have their own blessings

Li Ersao laughed heartily at these words, then picked up another egg and put it in Le Bao'er's bowl, saying, "Eat more food and grow up quickly, so that your arms can grow this long when you grow up."

Really?

The two little ones looked at her with bright, sparkling eyes.

Li Ersao nodded repeatedly, "Really."

"Mmm, I want to eat lots and lots, to grow tall, to grow really tall..."

Mingwa looked very serious.

Le Bao'er also held up her chopsticks and let out a loud "I want to eat more, more, and grow taller and longer!"

"Okay, may you all grow tall."

Li Ersao smiled and served food to the two children.

Li's mother sighed. Li Banxia was wondering why her second sister-in-law was suddenly so enthusiastic about the child. Hearing her mother sigh, she turned her head and asked, "Mom? What's wrong?"

Li's mother shook her head.

Li's mother didn't say it, but she brought it up anyway in the course of conversation.

"...You know, we've been so worried about them, but none of these little rascals want to come back. They all want to stay in other places to serve the country. I'm just baffled. Can't they come back from Beijing? Beijing is the heart of the motherland. There are so many jobs for them to choose from!"

Brother Li sighed as he brought it up, and asked Sister-in-law Li to tell Li Banxia, ​​"What did your sister-in-law say when she called a few days ago? Tell Xiaxia about it."

Li Ersao glanced at him.

Before speaking, she sighed, "Kong Qing stayed at the university, scattered all over the country, and we only see her once a year. My sister-in-law says Kong Qing doesn't want to get married. The couple has gone through the entire division to find her a blind date—someone with a good temper, good looks, good family background, good education, businessmen, politicians, or those who have studied abroad. They've found her everyone they can think of, but Kong Qing either makes excuses about being too busy with work, or she just goes through the motions, or she calls to tell them she has no plans to get married. My sister-in-law is so angry she cries..."

"this……"

Li Banxia hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Your elder brother and sister-in-law didn't just find out today that Kong Qing doesn't want to get married, did they?"

She remembered that in her previous life, her eldest niece, Li Kongqing, was never married.

"...I know that, but alas, children are a debt. Parents always want to see them get married and start their own families."

Li Erge sighed deeply, "My sister-in-law said that Kong Qing told them that if they wanted to be grandparents and have children, she could go abroad and pick out... well, have one for them. Tell me, is this something a young woman would say? It almost made my sister-in-law die of anger!"

Why are you talking about Kong Qing?

Li Ersao snorted coldly, "Our three are no better than Kong Qing. They're all getting on in years, but do you see one of them willing to get married?"

As he spoke, he complained to Li Banxia.

"...I don't know what's wrong with kids these days? Back in our day, people got married pretty early, didn't they? I was only twenty when I married your second brother, and they're all in their mid-twenties now, and none of them seem to be in a hurry!"

Li Banxia nodded in agreement, echoing Li Ersao's sentiments, and then tried to persuade her further.

"Children have their own ideas. As the country develops better and better, they want to contribute to the country's construction. This feeling is understandable. Second sister-in-law, don't worry. The legal marriage age is higher now, which means the country supports late marriage and late childbirth. Before the age of thirty, it is the time to focus on their careers. If you ask them to get caught up in the tedious life of family and daily chores, they will definitely not be happy."

Li Ersao nodded, "That makes sense, but..."

Li Ersao couldn't quite explain it, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't compare today's children with her own back then. However, the fact that her children weren't getting married was making her unable to sleep peacefully.

Seeing someone else's child makes me imagine what my grandchild would look like, how he would speak, and how endearing he would be...

Li Ersao shook her head.

"Forget it, let children and grandchildren have their own destiny. Let them make their own decisions. I can't control them, and I won't let them control me. I'm too lazy to be the bad guy."

Li Erge nodded in agreement, "Wife, I'll listen to you."

Li Ersao, "..."

She glared at him again.

Li Erge turned to look at Li Sange, frowning. "Did I say something wrong?"

Brother Li shrugged.

After dinner, the two children took a nap and stayed at home until four or five o'clock before Li Banxia took them home with the large bags of food prepared by her mother and sister-in-law.

When I got home, Arno and Aunt Qiu were already back.

Aunt Qiu brought the property ownership certificate and land use certificate over and handed them to Li Banxia, ​​saying, "I don't understand this part either, Banxia. Besides these two certificates, what else do we need to do to complete the process?"

“Auntie, don’t rush. Keep these two certificates safe for now. In a couple of days, we’ll host a dinner party and have Lao San invite Brother Xiao over for a casual meal. He works in express delivery and has a wider network of contacts than we do. We’ll ask him to help us find out where there are suitable properties. We need to buy first and then sell, which involves several procedures, so it won’t be quick,” Li Banxia said.

Aunt Qiu nodded. "Okay."

Upon hearing about such a good opportunity, Xiao Zhanyou was more than willing to agree. He immediately nodded and patted his chest, assuring everyone he needed, "Leave it to me. At most half a month. I can provide as many as you require."

Su Laosan smiled and poured wine for Xiao Zhanyou, "Uncle Xiao, find a few more, so that there won't be enough for all of us."

Xiao Zhanyou laughed heartily and said, "Okay."

Li Banxia's plan to exploit loopholes was progressing rapidly.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Earth.

An underground anti-drug gang that had fled from the Golden Triangle into the Amazon rainforest was destroyed by an inside agent planted by the national special forces.

Special forces rushed into the inferno and rescued the seriously injured Song Yuanzhi.

Song Yuanzhi's right hand was injured by the explosion, and his forearm was covered in blood and flesh.

After emergency treatment, he was sent to Shanghai. The meridians from his elbow to his wrist were all destroyed by the explosion. Although his hand was saved, it became useless from then on.

The sharpshooter will never be able to raise his hand or hold a gun again.

The military leaders were very sorry that such an outstanding talent was wasted, and wanted him to transfer to a civilian position in the military to continue leading the team. Song Yuanzhi refused and proposed to be demobilized and retired.

The military leaders disagreed and asked Brother Li to persuade them.

When Song Yuanzhi saw him coming to find him, he smiled and said, "Brother, as you know, I want to change careers. I want to go to the capital."

"You're dreaming."

Brother Li glared at him, annoyed. "That girl has no heart at all. She only sees you as a younger brother. She has no romantic feelings for you. Why are you so stubborn?!"

"Big brother..."

Song Yuanzhi sighed softly.

Seeing that he was unyielding, Brother Li's eyes turned red with anger. He stared intently at Song Yuanzhi's right hand, wishing he could grab him and give him a good beating. "Song Yuanzhi, you've been the most stubborn person in the whole family since we were little. I've told you to listen to me for a long time. You're a brigade commander with a bright future ahead of you, and instead of leading your team properly, you insist on going! You're really crazy! How am I supposed to explain this to my second uncle and aunt?"
