Mother Li was very quick. It only took her about ten minutes after entering the kitchen for her to bring the cooked noodles and steamed sausages to the living room.

As he ate the familiar flavor in his memory, Li Shuixiu felt a lot of emotions in his heart and regretted his past choice again.

After finishing the noodles and sausages and resting for half an hour, Li Shuixiu gave her daughter a bath and coaxed her to sleep.

Li Ling'er was already sleepy because she had been traveling all day, so she fell asleep soon after going to bed.

When they sat down by the fire again, Li Shuixiu took the initiative to talk about her situation without waiting for her parents to ask, saying, "Dad, Mom, I'm divorced!"

Upon hearing this, both Mr. and Mrs. Li's faces changed. Although they were quite dissatisfied with their Japanese son-in-law, their daughter was already married and had a child, so they had to accept this fact no matter how unwilling they were.

Before their daughter gets married, they can strongly oppose it and try every possible way to stop it, but after it becomes a done deal, even if they are not optimistic about the marriage, they can only pray that their daughter can live a happy life.

But now, without any warning, the daughter said that she was divorced, which made it difficult for Mr. and Mrs. Li to accept it for a while.

Although divorce is commonplace in this era, parents all hope that their children's marriages will be happy. Unless there are special circumstances, no one wants to see their children divorced.

After more than ten seconds, Li Changsheng said, "Let's get divorced. I told you at the beginning that that little Japanese girl was not your ideal match."

Chen Gufang also echoed, "Yes, Xiu, it's no big deal if you get divorced. You are still young, and it won't be difficult to find another one."

Li Shuixiu said with red eyes: "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, I let you down!"

Chen Gufang felt distressed. She didn't know how much her daughter had suffered in a foreign country over the past few years. She could only comfort her by saying, "It's all over. When you look for a partner again, you must keep your eyes open and not be as impulsive as you were before!"

Li Shuixiu said: "Mom, don't worry, it's enough to make a mistake like this once. I will never make the same mistake again."

Li Changsheng did not ask his daughter the reason for the divorce, but asked: "Was Ling'er awarded to you?"

Li Shuixiu nodded and said, "Well, I raised Ling'er by myself. After the divorce, I naturally want to bring her back. I want her to change her surname to Li. I wonder if it's okay?"

Li Changsheng took out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "Of course."

"Dad, thank you!"

That night, the family talked a lot.

…

at the same time.

In a remote mountain village called Shigu Village in Guizhou Province, a family with the same surname Li was sitting around a burning fire and chatting.

There are five members in the family, and everyone has a smile on their face.

It’s no wonder that the Li family is so happy. At this time last year, when the Li family’s children who were working outside came back to celebrate the New Year, their house was still a very old one.

Now, the old house has been transformed into a "magnificent" villa, which is one of the best in Shigu Village, even in the whole town.

The reason why such a big change happened in just one year was that Li Yiping, the third son of the Li family, was lucky enough to marry a local girl when he was working in Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

That local girl was a member of a famous wealthy village in Shenzhen, and she could earn millions in dividends from the village every year.

This villa at home was built by Li Yiping's father and mother with the money he sent back.

Father Li instructed, "Big brother, you have been a chef for several years. Tomorrow, the third brother will bring his wife home. You must prepare the meal carefully and try to leave a good impression on the third brother's wife."

Brother Li nodded and said, "I will definitely try my best, but the third daughter-in-law's family is so well-off, and I don't know how many delicacies she has eaten from all over the country. I can't guarantee that the third daughter-in-law will be able to eat the dishes I cook."

Father Li said, "Just do your best and make more of our local specialties. Be careful not to make them too spicy. The third son said his wife likes spicy food, but can't eat anything too spicy."

Brother Li hummed and said, "Okay, I understand!"

Father Li looked at his two daughters again and said, "As for you two sisters, go clean the house again with your mother tomorrow and help the eldest.

Also, when the Third Wife arrives, you must treat her well and pay more attention to her. If you have a good relationship with her, she will help you a little bit, and you will benefit a lot! "

Big Sister Li and Little Sister Li nodded repeatedly. They had also been in society for many years and naturally understood the huge difference between working hard outside and having someone to help them.

After instructing his three children, Father Li emphasized again: "You must remember that our family is what it is today because of the third son's wife, so we must treat the third son's wife well and not embarrass the third son, understand?"

"Dad, we got it!" the three Li siblings responded one after another.

Mother Li continued, "We are poor in Shigu Village. Before the third son married this daughter-in-law, our family was not even ranked high in the village. But now that your father has gone out, everyone in the village will look up to him. Even the marriages of you three siblings have become popular!"

All of this is thanks to the third daughter-in-law, so your father is right, tomorrow we must show our best attitude and entertain the third daughter-in-law well!"

The Li brothers and sisters agreed immediately. With their relationship, as long as they could leave a good impression on their third brother's wife (third sister-in-law), they would definitely have a day to succeed.

After discussing the reception of the third son's wife, the family of five looked forward to the future and did not go back to bed until late at night.

…

The next day.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a taxi stopped in the town, and Li Yiping carefully helped his wife Gong Qinlan, who was five months pregnant, out of the car.

"Wife, thank you for your hard work!"

At this time, Gong Qinlan's face was a little haggard. Looking at this obviously backward town, she said with emotion: "I have heard of the famous roads in Guizhou Province for a long time, but this is my first time to experience it. It really lives up to its reputation!"

Li Yiping sighed and said, "There is nothing we can do. In Guizhou Province, there is a saying since ancient times that 'the sky cannot be clear for three days, and the land cannot be flat for three miles'. This is also the main reason why Guizhou Province is poor. After all, the transportation is too inconvenient!"

The couple had just said a few words when a motorcycle drove up to them and asked in the local dialect where they were going and if they wanted a ride.

Then Li Yiping started negotiating with the motorcycle owner in the local dialect.

When Gong Qinlan went back to her husband's hometown with him, she heard him say that the small road from the town to their village was not accessible by car and could only be accessed by motorcycle.

At that time, she really couldn't imagine what kind of path this was.

Now that she was in the town, she finally had an idea in her mind. She was really shocked by the winding road along the way.

Just as Gong Qinlan was looking around, another motorcycle soon stopped in front of them, and then Li Yiping tied up the luggage with the owner of the motorcycle.

After tying up the luggage, Li Yiping turned around and got on another empty motorcycle, waving to Gong Qinlan, "Wife, get on!"

Gong Qinlan was originally a little resistant to riding a motorcycle. After all, the man driving the car was a strange man, and she was pregnant and would take up a lot of space, so she would definitely have to sit separately from her husband. She was definitely not happy about riding alone on a strange man's motorcycle.

Unexpectedly, her husband had also considered this problem and directly acted as her driver, which made Gong Qinlan instantly in a good mood, and then she got into the car with a smile on her face.

Li Yiping started the car and said, "Honey, hold on tight!"

Gong Qinlan hugged his waist. It was her first time riding a motorcycle and she felt both curious and a little nervous. She whispered in his ear, "Honey, can you do this?"

Li Yiping chuckled and said, "Wife, don't you know best whether I can do it or not?"

Gong Qinlan spat at him and said, "I'm serious. I'm pregnant with your son. I can't be careless about this."

Li Yiping then said seriously: "Don't worry, honey. When I was at home, I often drove my motorcycle on this path. I'm very familiar with it. I will drive slowly and will never joke about the safety of you and your son!"

Gong Qinlan nodded, and then looked at the scenery along the way with peace of mind.

…

Shigu Village.

The Li family's big move today immediately attracted the attention of the villagers. When they came over to ask, they found out that the third son of the Li family was going to bring his wife back to meet his parents today.

As soon as the news came out, it instantly caused a sensation in the whole village.

After all, everyone in Shigu Village knows that the third son of the Li family was lucky enough to be spotted by a local girl when he was working in Shenzhen, and then he jumped from a poor boy to a wealthy man.

Moreover, this wealthy man was quite influential. Before he even came back, he had already spent millions to build a villa for his parents, making Mr. and Mrs. Li the center of attention in the village.

Nowadays, everyone in the village envies the Li family, especially the third son of the Li family. He has such a good life!

Everyone in the village was extremely curious about the rich daughter-in-law of the third son of the Li family, whom they had never met. They also heard from Li's father and mother that the third son of the Li family would bring his wife back to meet his parents once the house was built.

Today, we finally got the confirmed news that the third son of the Li family has returned with his wife. The villagers, who have been looking forward to this for more than half a year, couldn't help but gather towards the Li family.

The men come just to watch the fun, but the women are different. They don't come empty-handed. They either bring a chicken or a duck, or a bunch of vegetables or some ginger, garlic or something. Anyway, their coming here shows their attitude, that they are here to help.

Even though they have been wandering around in this area all their lives, they are all smart. Seeing that the Li family is about to become prosperous, they don't ask to become prosperous along with them, but just hope that when they encounter difficulties, the Li family can give them a hand, that is enough!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li's father and mother persuaded all the villagers to go back. After all, this was the first time that the third son's wife came back. So many people came to watch. If they made her unhappy, it would be bad!

Everyone understood what Mr. and Mrs. Li were thinking, so they left the Li family. Those who cooked went back to cook, and those who had nothing to do gathered in groups of three or five to continue discussing the affairs of the Li family.

Shigu Village is not big, and usually people can discuss trivial matters for a long time, not to mention an event that shocked the whole village, such as the third son of the Li family bringing his wife back to meet his parents. It would take at least three to five days to discuss.

Because Li Yiping called his parents when he was about to return to town, Brother Li started cooking according to the time.

In order to entertain the third brother's wife, Brother Li tried his best today and prepared a large table of dishes, including No. 1 pig's trotter, fish in sour soup, fried bacon with zheergen, steamed sausage, blood tofu fried with garlic sprouts, etc., all of which are dishes with the characteristics of Guizhou Province.

Knowing that the third daughter-in-law is from Guangdong and likes to drink soup, she also made the dish of night sweat chicken.

Night sweat chicken is chicken and chicken soup made in the night sweat pot.

The night sweat pot is a local cooking utensil made of earthenware in Guizhou Province. It consists of four parts: a base, a steaming bowl, a top pot and a top cover.

This dish is made by cleaning the old hen and placing it in a hot pot, then adding various ingredients such as codonopsis, red dates, and wolfberries and steaming them together.

No water is added during the steaming process, but there is a lot of soup after steaming. These are the steam flowing down from the pot, so it is named "night sweat chicken".

The chicken tastes tender and delicious, and the chicken soup is also extremely delicious. I think the third son’s wife will like this dish.

When Brother Li had almost finished cooking the dishes, Li Yiping also drove his motorcycle back home with his wife.

"Dad, Mom, we're back!"

"Lanlan, let me introduce them to you. This is my dad, this is my mom, this is my oldest brother, this is my oldest sister, and this is my youngest sister."

"Dad, Mom, big brother, sister, little sister, hello!"

"Lanlan, welcome back!"

There was no need to say any more polite words. After sending the motorcyclist away, Li Yiping and his wife went to wash their hands and prepare for dinner.

In the distance, the villagers who had been paying attention to the Li family also saw Gong Qinlan with her big belly, and they couldn't help but praise her.

"Li Laosan is really capable. Look at the wife he married. She has a blessed face and is pretty good looking. Most importantly, her family is so rich. It's really enviable!"

"Look at his wife's belly. She should be four or five months pregnant, right?"

"No wonder those young people in the village who go out to work always say that the world is all about looks when they come back. Li Laosan is the best-looking young man in our village, and he managed to marry a girl from a big city. It's true that good-looking people are popular!"

“…”

Gong Qinlan naturally didn't know that she had become the focus of discussion among the villagers. At this moment, she was warmly invited to the table by the Li family. Looking at the large table full of unique and steaming sumptuous dishes, she knew that the Li family had put a lot of effort into welcoming her!
