Chapter 442 Is this a pigsty? Or a doghouse?
In the afternoon, Li Caiyun finished her work early and returned home. At around four o'clock, Zhou Ling came with a smile on her face.
"Sister-in-law, didn't you go to work this afternoon?"
As soon as Zhou Ling entered the room and saw Li Caiyun in the living room, she couldn't help but ask.
Li Caiyun put down the notebook in her hand and responded: "I just came back a while ago and am sorting out the customer information of the board factory..."
Zhou Ling said "oh" and stated her purpose with a smile. She wanted to invite Jiang Ziqing and Li Jingchu to her home for dinner.
Li Caiyun was a little hesitant after hearing this. She thought for a moment and said, "We're not engaged yet, so let's forget about the meal!"
Zhou Ling didn't take it seriously. She explained, "What's wrong with not being engaged? It's the first time the children come here, so as their aunt, I naturally have to have a meal with them. This is also a courtesy."
Li Caiyun smiled and felt that what Zhou Ling said made sense, so she said, "You are right, okay? But they are not at home, and they will probably be back soon. When they come back..."
Li Jingchu and Jiang Ziqing went up the mountain in the morning. Neither of them came back for lunch, so they should be back soon.
Zhou Ling checked the time and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go home and prepare the meal. When they come back, you can ask them to eat at my house."
Li Caiyun agreed and Zhou Ling left.
Not long after she left, Zhou Yong came back, and in about ten minutes, Li Jingchu took Jiang Ziqing home.
The two men picked a lot of mountain products and even caught a pheasant in the mountains, which they roasted and ate on the spot.
Li Caiyun looked at the basket full of wild vegetables with a smile in her eyes: "Ziqing, are you tired? Come and sit down and have a rest."
Although she was tired, Jiang Ziqing was very happy because it was her first time to go up the mountain to pick products.
The four of them were chatting and picking wild vegetables. After a while, Zhang Guifang and Li Baotian came back.
"Dad, is my uncle in a bad condition?"
Li Baotian sighed and nodded slightly. Zhang Guifang beside him kept sighing.
After the wild vegetables were picked, Li Jingchu took Jiang Ziqing to see Zhou Ling, Li Caiyun called Zhou Yong, and the couple went to Li Baoshan's house.
Li Baoshan was in a very bad condition, breathing out more than breathing in, which made Li Caiyun's eyes tear up.
That night, Li Baoshan passed away, and Li Baotian cried like a baby!
After taking care of Li Baoshan's funeral, Li Hongjun and his two siblings were fine, but Li Baotian and his brothers all fell ill.
After all, they are all old. Although they know that Li Baoshan will not survive the summer, they just didn't expect that their eldest brother would leave as soon as he said so.
Li Baotian stayed at home for more than a week before his health gradually recovered.
After Li Baotian's health improved, Li Jingchu took Jiang Ziqing back.
At the end of June, Li Jingchu called and said Jiang Ziqing's parents wanted to meet Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun.
When the couple learned about this, they arranged their work and headed for the capital without stopping.
"Dad, Mom."
Since Li Jingchu had a very important meeting in the afternoon, Li Jingen came to the airport to pick up Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun.
"Gou Sheng, why are you so dark?"
Li Jingen smiled and took the suitcase from his parents: "Dad, I work in the construction site every day, how can I not get tanned?"
Working in architecture often requires observation and learning for inspiration, so Li Jingen got a very tan.
Zhou Yong patted his second son on the shoulder: "He is a little darker, but he is a lot stronger."
Li Jingen chuckled, and the three of them left the airport reception hall while chatting.
The couple came to the dormitory where Li Jingen lived. Li Caiyun frowned as soon as she entered the room.
"Is this a pigsty? Or a doghouse?"
The room is in such a mess that there is almost no place to stand.
Li Jingen put down the suitcase in his hand and hurriedly made a place for his parents to sit.
"Mom, I'm usually busy and don't have time to clean the house."
Li Caiyun glared at Li Jingen who was making a specious argument: "You are obviously sloppy, but you still find a high-sounding excuse for yourself. I have to admit that you are unworthy..."
Scolding her second son, Li Caiyun didn't even sit down and immediately started cleaning up.
If there is no space to step in the living room, the kitchen will be even worse.
Li Caiyun was so angry that she almost yelled at Li Jingen, but after thinking about it, she didn't do that.
Zhou Yong was also not idle. He helped mop the floor, tidy up the sofa, and do some other work within his ability.
"Look at the clothes in your closet. Why do they all look like daddy's rings? How can you wear them out?"
Li Jingen stood at the door and said with a smile: "Mom, before I go to work, I always iron the clothes I am going to wear in advance..."
Li Caiyun glared at Li Jingen and said, "Who do you take after, kid? Your father and I are not this sloppy."
No matter what Li Caiyun said, Li Jingen responded with a smile, and in the end Li Caiyun didn't know what to say.
The three of them cleaned the house and then found some time to sit down and chat.
"What time does your brother get off work?"
Li Jingen looked at the time: "Normally it's five o'clock, but if I work overtime, it may not be the case..."
Li Caiyun looked at the time on her watch and saw that it was already past four o'clock, so she changed the subject: "Gousheng, your elder brother already has a girlfriend, when are you going to have a girlfriend?"
Speaking of personal issues, Li Jingen couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by sighing?"
Li Jingen scratched his head and said, "Dad, Mom, I haven't considered my personal problems yet, because I plan to study abroad..."
Their unit had two places for further studies abroad, but due to the fierce competition, Li Jingen had no confidence in himself.
If he doesn't get a place to study abroad, Li Jingen plans to study abroad for three years at his own expense.
"Dad, Mom, if I go abroad to study at my own expense, you have to prepare some money for me. After I go abroad, I will find a part-time job, and then I won't have to ask you for money..."
In the past few years that Li Jingen has been working, most of the salary he earned has been spent by himself, and even if he has some savings, it is not much.
Zhou Yong nodded: "The money issue is easy to talk about. As long as you can learn, Dad will support you to study abroad..."
Li Jingen has his own dream. He wants to go out and see the world so as to lay a better foundation for himself.
"Dad, Mom, thank you for your support."
Li Caiyun smiled and said, "You little brat, you're being polite to your parents. That doesn't suit your personality at all."
The three of them were having a great time chatting and laughing. A little after half past five, Li Jingchu came alone.
Today is not the day to meet Jiang Ziqing's parents, so the four of us went out to eat roast duck in the evening.
While eating Peking duck, Li Jingen was still talking about Zhou Kerou, because Capital Peking Duck was her favorite.
"Dad, when you go back, I'll buy you two roast ducks to take back..."
Zhou Yong glanced at Li Jingen and said, "In such hot weather, the roast duck will stink if you bring it home."
Li Jingen thought about it and felt that it was true. Even if it didn't smell bad, it was rotten.
"Goudan, tell mom and dad about Ziqing's parents' personal situation."
The last time Jiang Ziqing went to the Li family, she happened to encounter Li Baoshan’s affairs. Therefore, neither Zhou Yong nor Li Caiyun were busy to find out about the situation of the Jiang family.
Before Li Jingchu could speak, Li Jingen took over the conversation: "Dad, I know about the Jiang family. Let me tell you..."
Li Jingen spoke without caring about anything, while Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun listened quietly. In short, he didn't have a good impression of the Jiang family at all...
