Chapter 288: Mother Li is about to faint
So, both sides started to get busy, and even Cheng Liguo was ready to take a leave. This time he wanted to take a long vacation to go back and spend time with his daughter and children, and then go to Beijing to visit the Zhao family.
Qin Daqiang received another call. It turned out that someone from a higher-up knew that his son was getting married, and that his wife was a college graduate this year, and they were all coming to give gifts.
Qin Daqiang knew that they were not giving gifts to him, but to Cheng Qiao. Ye Jun was Cheng Qiao's master and Ye Chengying's cousin, and he was currently the director of the Chinese Medicine Hospital.
Ye Chengying is Cheng Liguo's old leader. Cheng Qiao will also pursue a career in medicine in the future. You know, it is rare to find a good doctor in a garrison.
After these heavy hammers struck down, everyone knew where the weather vane was, so the garrison borrowed a truck for the first time, and filled it with furniture and daily necessities prepared by Qin Daqiang.
Of course, there were also gifts from other people. This time, there were too many people going back with him, so Qin Daqiang got a military tent and put it in the trunk. In this way, except for the little troublemaker, all the men sat in the back.
Yuan Qin and Jiang Meili sat in the front holding Li Cheng, and were looking forward to attending Li Le's wedding. Yuan Qin took out an envelope from his bag, and after thinking about it, he added some money into it.
"Mom, there's actually no need for so much..."
Before she could finish her words, she was stopped by Yuan Qin. During the months when Meili gave birth to her child, she lived in Xiangyang Village and witnessed Cheng Qiao's status in this family. Her Meili could not even catch up with her even if she put oil on the soles of her shoes.
Now Cheng Qiao is taking her children to study in Beijing, and her sister-in-law and mother-in-law live in Chuncheng. This is a good opportunity for Meili to take advantage of the situation, so she should give them more money.
Meili curled her lips and rolled her eyes. She couldn't understand what was going on in her mother's mind. Everything was fine at home, but she had to create some trouble.
"My daughter, let me tell you, the Li family is not poor. You are the eldest sister-in-law, and your gifts are too shabby. If you can't even compare to the second wife, people will talk about you in the future."
The Li family is not poor. Meili looked at her own mother. Who told her that? The Li family is indeed well-off, but it is Cheng Qiao who is not poor, and it seems to have nothing to do with her mother-in-law.
Moreover, her mother asked her to compete with Cheng Qiao. How could she, who only gets a fixed salary, compete with Cheng Qiao? You should know that during her time in Xiangyang Village, the tonics that Cheng Qiao gave her alone were enough to empty her family's savings.
"Mom, please don't be like this. Cheng Qiao is a very good sister-in-law. I can't thank her enough. How can I compare with her?"
"You kid, who told you to compete with Cheng Qiao? I told you to get along well with her so that she can take care of your child in the future."
Seeing that Meili's face looked strange, Yuan Qin quickly changed his tone. However, he felt in his heart that he had spoiled his daughter. She didn't understand anything and it really frustrated him.
While driving, the little troublemaker looked at Yuan Qin coldly. In his heart, Cheng Qiao was a very good person, and this brother Li Bing's mother-in-law was really annoying.
When he sees Cheng Qiao, he must tell her what this woman said so that she can have some idea in her mind. Otherwise, if she falls into this woman's trap, it would be a great loss.
Li Huan also started to take action. He handed over most of the village affairs to Wang Xiangyang, even if it was just an internship. Aunt Wang, who knew the inside story, smiled so much that her face and eyes narrowed into a line. His son would be the village chief in the future.
"You old fool, why don't you go and help?"
Li Huan was going to Chuncheng to do some simple renovation of the grocery store there, so Aunt Wang would of course ask her husband and son to help.
Wang Duocai had lived for most of his life and had never been to Chuncheng. When he learned that Li Huan and others had bought a house there, he shrank his neck in fear.
Wow, this ruffian village chief is amazing. They can’t even afford a house in the county town, but he has already bought a house in Chuncheng. I don’t know where his money comes from.
Aunt Wang pinched him and said, "No one knows a man better than his wife. Ever since Huanzi became the village chief, their family can easily spend a few hundred dollars. It's no big deal for him to buy a house in Chuncheng."
Wang Duocai also thought of this, scratched his head embarrassedly, and went back to the yard to get tools, but Uncle Niu came over with a sad face, because the old cow had died.
When the villagers learned that the old cow had died, they were all in a bad mood. The cow had been with them for more than ten years and had helped them reclaim wasteland and pulled carts. It was the treasure of Xiangyang Village.
Now that Xiangyang Village’s treasured treasure is gone, everyone shed tears. Chen Damao was happy in his heart, as he should be able to eat beef during this year’s Spring Festival. You know, beef is very expensive.
"I decided to sell the old ox, use the money and apply for some subsidies, and we will buy a new iron ox."
Li Huan thought about it and made a suggestion. Uncle Niu nodded repeatedly. He would rather die than eat the old cow.
Chen Weidang was also excited. Although the cow died of old age, the price it could get from selling it to the purchasing station was still not low. The village committee still had some money in its small treasury, and if he applied for some more subsidies, it should be enough to buy the Taiwan Railway cow.
All the villagers cheered. Iron Ox! This thing is so valuable and it is even stronger than an old ox. They can work with less worry and effort in the future. Most importantly, it brings honor to Xiangyang Village.
Damao's face looked a little unhappy, and he thought to himself that these villagers were stupid. They could obviously eat beef, but they chose to listen to the rogue village chief. It was really weird.
There are two people that Chen Damao hates the most now, one is his elder sister Chen Danniu, and the other is Li Huan. However, he cannot beat Danniu, let alone Li Huan, so he can only feel aggrieved.
Wang Xiangyang quickly got on his bicycle and went to the purchasing station. They couldn't move such a big cow, but the purchasing station had a car and they could handle it.
Li Huan also rode his bicycle to the commune, preparing to fill out an application report, hoping to get Tie Niu back before the spring.
Mother Li no longer cared about the big and small things at home and followed Li Huan to Chuncheng. When she saw a dozen old houses and nearly an acre and a half of wasteland behind the houses, her lips trembled.
Wow, how much do these houses cost? Li Huan held up a finger. Li's mother boldly said one thousand yuan. Seeing her son shaking his head, she smiled. It turned out to be one hundred yuan.
Li Le also smiled. The secret that had been kept for so many years could finally be told. She said a number in Li's mother's ear, and then waited quietly for her mother's reaction.
"Oh my god..."
Mother Li held her heart in her hands. She couldn't believe what she heard. She had saved some money over the years, but the total was less than a thousand yuan.
"Mom, my wife said that in twenty years, the house here will be worth one million."
One million. Li's mother closed her eyes and tried her best to steady her legs. She couldn't fall down, otherwise she would be laughed at.
