It’s almost a week before Zhao Zongwei’s wedding.

Li Mingqing took his family to the train station to head to the capital.

The three children were not as excited as before because they were used to taking the train.

He even lay on the small table to write and read.

"Wife, our three children are like the God of Literature, they are so hardworking and studious, we don't need to worry about them at all."

"He's been easy to take care of since he was born. Other children cry their eyes out, but our child is so well-behaved."

Niuniu said with a smile: "Dad and Mom take good care of us."

Before Xiaohong and Xiaozhe were born, Niu Niu heard many people in the village threatening her that they would treat her differently after she had a younger brother, and that they would abandon her or ignore her.

But nothing changed after the two younger brothers were born.

"Daughters are great. They are really like parents' little cotton-padded jackets."

Xiaohong jumped off the stool with his short legs and said, "We are also little cotton-padded jackets."

"It's still a little cotton-padded jacket. I don't know who said they would wait until I die. It's really filial piety."

Li Mingqing hasn't forgotten it yet.

It’s really funny when I think about it.

A little brat who doesn't know the seriousness of the matter.

"Dad, we heard it from the grandmother in the village," he said aggrievedly.

Xiaozhe said seriously: "It's okay, Dad. Death can be as heavy as Mount Tai or as light as a feather. When the time comes, I will buy you a big and beautiful coffin. I——"

Sun Jiaxue covered his mouth and scolded:

"Children's words are innocent, bah bah bah—Xiaozhe, don't talk nonsense!"

Li Mingqing was amused by his words.

It's both infuriating and funny.

"I just taught you yesterday that 'death can be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather,' and now I'm using it today. For a moment, I don't know whether to praise you for being studious or give you a good spanking."

"Dad, I said something wrong."

Xiaozhe admitted his mistake immediately.

"If you do that again, I'll beat you up. I'll find a long, nice-looking stick to beat you with."

Hearing this, Brother Lai shrank his neck and hid beside Sun Jiaxue.

Sun Jiaxue patted the two brothers' hands gently.

"You can't just talk about death from now on, remember?"

"I remember."

"Okay, go play."

When the two brothers turned around, they glanced at Li Mingqing secretly.

Then he sat down and read a book.

Li Mingqing couldn't pretend to be serious seeing how cowardly the two brothers looked.

"What a pair of naughty kids."

Time passes very quickly on the train.

After sleeping for a night, we arrived in the capital in the evening of the next day.

The family returned to the courtyard house they had bought earlier and settled down.

The next day.

Li Mingqing and others came to the address left in Zhao Zongwei's letter.

"Is this the house allocated by the textile factory?"

"That should be the case. Brother Zhao is the director of the textile factory, so the house he was given should be quite spacious."

"Let's go in and take a look first."

Zhao Zongwei went out with his briefcase and saw them as soon as he went downstairs.

"Mingqing, Jiaxue, when did you come? Why didn't you tell me? I thought you didn't have time to come," he said in surprise.

"Even if we don't have time, we have to come."

"Come on, come into the house."

He said as he took Yao out of his handbag.

Li Mingqing said, "You should go back to work first. We just came to tell you that we'll come back tomorrow for the wedding. By the way, this is the ginseng that Jiaxue and I dug in the mountains. Congratulations, and may you live a happy life with a wife and children in the future."

"I accept your kindness, but I absolutely cannot use the ginseng."

Zhao Zongwei refused.

It's too expensive.

"Jiaxue treats you as her elder brother, so keep you."

"Yes, Brother Zhao, just keep it. You sent clothes to Niuniu and the others before, and the fabrics and styles are not cheap."

Li Mingqing handed the wooden box to Zhao Zongwei.

"Hurry up and take it. Why are you so slow?"

"Come to my house for lunch at noon. I'll buy some groceries later and let you taste my cooking."

"No, we can just go out for a walk and grab a bite to eat."

Xu Zongwei took out a big unity card from his pocket and gave it to Niu Niu.

"Niece, buy whatever you want to eat. Uncle will treat you."

Niuniu looked at Li Mingqing and took it with a smile when she saw him nod: "Thank you, uncle."

Zhao Zongwei went to find Hong Ling when he arrived at the textile factory.

"Hong Ling, the Ming Qing family I told you about before is here. They're here specifically to attend our wedding."

"Are they your sister and brother-in-law from your hometown village?"

"Yes, you have to treat them well after coming all the way here."

"Didn't you say you had three nephews? It's a good thing you told me, otherwise you wouldn't even have prepared a red envelope. Are they living at home?"

"They don't live in our house. They have a house here."

Hong Ling didn't react for a moment when she heard this.

A minute later, she said in disbelief, "There's a house here?"

"Yes, I bought a courtyard house in Ming and Qing Dynasty."

"A courtyard house?! Haven't they always lived in the countryside? Why would they come to the capital to buy one?"

Hong Ling couldn't believe it.

She thought that the villagers worked hard in the fields, but she didn't expect that they bought courtyard houses in the capital.

The couple worked in a textile factory and didn't buy a house.

I still live in the house allocated by my work unit.

It just so happened that the two of them, one was the director and the other was the team leader, worked in a textile factory, and they applied for a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment for their wedding.

"Ming Qing is no ordinary man. He has traveled abroad, and every time he comes to the capital, he is invited by prominent figures. He is a capable man, extremely powerful."

Zhao Zongwei speaks the truth.

He learned all this from the newspaper and his last visit to Lijia Village.

"Oh my god! I just said I'd give red envelopes to the three kids when we first met. Now that you mention it, I feel like the amount is too small."
