Chapter 543: Li Huan's Superpowers
The two brothers stayed up almost all night, carefully tidying up the courtyard, and then took the train to Chuncheng, where their grocery store was.
Although it has been handed over to Li Cheng for management in recent years, it is after all the store founded by his mother, so he always has to check it out. The wholesale market in Xiangyang County is also a focus of Cheng Li's attention.
Li Chen stood blankly at the door of the grocery store, smoking and looking at the people coming and going. He felt a little confused for a moment. He was already twenty-one years old, but had accomplished nothing.
He couldn't concentrate on his studies and didn't even get into university. He couldn't find a job, so he had to live by Li Ming's shop. He also didn't take good care of his grandmother, who became paralyzed.
"Li Cheng, why are you standing at the door smoking?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Li Cheng turned around and saw that it was Cheng Li. A smile immediately appeared on his face. It turned out that his second brother and younger brother Ye Jing had returned.
"Brother, have you finally returned from studying?"
"Yes, how's business here?"
"Business is good. By the way, I'll get you the financial statements."
“Hey, there are financial statements here.”
"It was Uncle Zhao Hui who hired a special financial officer to do it. I didn't understand what he said about filing taxes or something like that."
"No, how are you now?"
It turned out that his uncle was helping to manage the grocery store, so he didn't need to get involved anymore. Cheng Li gave up the idea of going to the wholesale department.
"I will stay here. Brother Li Ming will ask the finance department to pay me my salary every month."
"Thank you, Li Cheng. If it weren't for you, Li Ming wouldn't have been able to join the army with such confidence."
"No, I should thank you, thank Second Aunt. Without her, I don't know if I could grow up. But where did Second Aunt go? I haven't seen her for five years."
Cheng Li and Ye Jing felt a pang in their hearts, but did not answer his question. Instead, they walked into the grocery store and took a look at the store that their mother had built with her own hands.
There are several more shelves than before, and the goods are more diverse. There are also two large pots at the door of the grocery store, in which large meat buns and white flour steamed buns are steamed.
"I'll take a big meat bun to eat."
Cheng Li gave the money, then took out a big meat bun and put it in his mouth, stuffing it into his mouth bit by bit, vaguely smelling the taste of his childhood.
"Mom, wait for me. I'll come find you soon. I won't get married until I find you."
Cheng Li swore silently in his heart, took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands and prepared to leave:
"How are your uncle and aunt? Your sister is in junior high school now, right? But we have something urgent to do, so we won't go to Xiangyang Village. Please give them my regards. And if you have time, come to Liangzhou and stay for a few days."
Li Cheng was a little reluctant to leave. He hadn't seen Cheng Li and the others for so many years. It was too lonely living alone in this city.
"Why don't you have lunch before you leave? You haven't even sat down yet."
"No, we have to catch the train to Liangzhou this afternoon. We won't be able to catch it after lunch. Take care of yourself. We are leaving now."
"I see. Have a safe trip. By the way, tell grandma that we will go back to Liangzhou to celebrate the New Year."
Cheng Li and Ye Jing nodded at the same time and hurried to the train station. When they returned to Liangzhou, they were surprised to find Li Huan sitting beside her grandmother's bed.
"Dad, you're back."
"Oh, my two sons are back. I haven't seen them for ten years. They have grown into big boys."
"Dad, when did you come back?"
Ye Jing asked in surprise. He had just left a few days ago and didn't expect to see his father when he returned home.
"I came back yesterday, and your grandma told me that you went to pick up your eldest brother, Ye Jing. Your performance over the past five years has made Dad very proud of you."
"Dad, I... don't have the ability to cure grandma's illness."
"No, you're already great. Your grandma said that she used to need someone to feed her, help her to go to the toilet, drool at the corners of her mouth, and couldn't speak clearly, but now..."
Now, Li's mother can walk a few steps with the help of a cane and can basically take care of herself. The only thing that cannot be cured is her heart disease. She is very anxious because there has been no news from her son and daughter-in-law, whom she holds so dearly in her heart, for so many years.
"Mom, your son will have dinner with you today, and I will go find your daughter-in-law tomorrow. Believe me, I will definitely bring your daughter-in-law back."
"Huanzi, is Qiao really still alive?"
"Alive, I can sense it."
Li Huan touched his left chest, where there was a mark left by Cheng Qiao. As long as the mark remained, the person was alive.
Li's mother trusted Li Huan very much. Her son would never lie to her. He said that as long as her daughter-in-law was alive, she was alive. A feeling of tiredness surged over her heart. Li's mother finally fell asleep and could still hear her snoring.
Li Huan waved his hand and tiptoed out of the house. Looking at his two sons who followed him out, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Cheng Li, do you have any plans when you come back this time?"
"I originally wanted to hold a wedding with Wu Xiaolin, and then go to Beijing, Haicheng and other big cities to invest in real estate, but now that something like this has happened at home, all these plans have to be postponed. I'll find my mother first."
"Good son, are you willing to believe in your father?"
"certainly."
"Let's go to Beijing. Investing in a business requires the right time, right location, and right people. Now, taking advantage of the spring breeze of reform and opening up, and the support from above for our family, invest quickly."
"But mom..."
"Your mother gave it to me. She has taken care of us all these years. Now it's my turn to take care of you. I will renovate the Cheng family's courtyard house and make it your wedding room."
Cheng Li nodded. The courtyard house was the dowry left by her grandmother to her mother. It was originally intended for Xiao Nuan, but her mother invested in a herbal medicine shop for Xiao Nuan, so the courtyard house was left to her.
"I'm going to go to the desert first, talk to my mother, and then go to the capital."
"Okay, call Xiao Nuan and Li Ming to come back as well. Li Ming isn't young anymore, and it's time for him to get married."
"Okay, I'll make the call right away."
One night, the father and his two sons sat together, drinking tea and chatting. They talked about Cheng Qiao and their childhood. As they talked, Cheng Li and Ye Jing fell asleep unknowingly.
When they woke up, Li Huan was nowhere to be seen. They looked everywhere for him, but only saw Wang Zai looking into the distance with a lonely look on his face.
Li Huan was already standing on the edge of the desert, looking at the endless desert. He slowly placed his hand on it, and gradually, the golden desert began to change color.
When Cheng Liguo came over with a shovel, he could hardly believe his eyes. When did the desert turn into a white world of ice and snow?
The half-squatting man seemed to have been seen somewhere before, so I quickened my pace and walked over, only to find that it was my son-in-law Li Huan, whom I hadn't seen for ten years.
"Li Huan, is that you? Am I dazzled? You are finally back. Do you know where my Qiaoqiao is? She is waiting for you every day."
