Many old men and women don't like to eat fried and puffed foods at all.
Let them eat it once it's fresh, eat it twice it's normal, but if they eat it three times they will feel sick.
What’s more, Li Pingwang does this every day!
So what does Li Pingwang want to eat?
He wanted to drink the fragrant red date and corn porridge, the sticky pumpkin and millet porridge, the eight-treasure rice pudding with a thick layer of honey, big steamed buns, hot noodles, and preferably some stir-fried vegetables.
Any kind of stir-fry is fine: braised pork with potatoes, stir-fried winter melon with meat, cabbage stewed with pork and vermicelli, all are better than the half piece of moldy bread that his second daughter Li Hongli gave him.
“Woo woo woo.”
Feeling aggrieved, Li Pingwang began to cry again.
Now he has hemiplegia and has trouble moving, but the doctor told him to walk more and it would be good for him. But he just doesn't want to. If he could move, his second daughter Li Hongli would force him to do more housework.
He didn't dare go to the village, for fear that others would laugh at him.
It's a joke that he raised four sons, but none of them came to serve him. It's a joke that his eldest daughter Hongyan, whom he raised as a treasure, didn't even look at him after he fell ill. How could he save face?
"Mom, look, I didn't say anything, but my dad started crying again." Li Hongli looked impatient: "What else does he want me to do?"
Chen Xiaoying smiled and said to Li Pingwang, "Li Pingwang, you are indeed difficult to serve. Hongli has never received any benefits from you since she was a child. You would rather let your own sons sell blood to support her. Your filial eldest daughter Li Hongyan should come to repay you. Why didn't she come when you were taking care of you?"
Did she ask Li Pingwang this on purpose?
This was the day she had been waiting for.
"Didn't you say she said that the six of Hongwei combined are not half as good as Li Hongyan? You said she has a conscience, you said she is filial, you said she always thinks of you when she has something delicious."
"So when she gave you two steamed buns or a pastry at the market, you were very happy. But now..."
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
Chen Xiaoying shook her head mockingly: "At that time, you sent money, food, and other good things to Li Hongyan's family every year like paying tribute, and only in return did you get these few melons and dates."
"You've become a waste now, what else can she give you? I don't think she wants to give you even a sesame seed."
Li Pingwang glared at Chen Xiaoying angrily, his face looking ferocious as if he wanted to eat someone.
Chen Xiaoying pretended not to see it and deliberately said, "Oh, maybe I misunderstood her. She has something to do these days. Do you want me to help you urge her? Which is more important, the work in the field or the adoptive father who raised you."
Li Pingwang has lived a lifetime, but he has never straightened his back and is accustomed to always looking at other people's faces.
In fact, he knew exactly what kind of people Li Hongyan and Zhao Faliang were.
But he never thought about it carefully. He was willing to use his hard-earned money and the food in his family in exchange for the couple's enthusiasm for him. The calls of "Dad" made him feel particularly satisfied.
Thinking of this, tears came to his eyes again.
Hongyan...really doesn't care about him as a father anymore.
Seeing Li Pingwang crying, Chen Xiaoying narrowed her eyes and looked him over. In just half a month, Li Pingwang had lost a lot of weight.
He was not fat to begin with, and now he is even more skinny, with the flesh on his cheeks sunken.
Looking at his appearance, it seems that he won't live long.
In his previous life, Li Pingwang lived to be over ninety years old. He had basically no illnesses and did not suffer any pain. He lived until he closed his eyes.
If you think about it carefully, he is really lucky.
He likes to eat white fat meat. When he has money, he eats half a bowl of it at every meal. He also likes to eat sweets. In addition to corn porridge and rice porridge, he will eat at least ten fruit candies a day. His mouth is never empty.
When other old men were working in the fields, he was already sitting at the village entrance playing cards, so he did not have to do any super-intensive work to consume the blood sugar in his body.
But in his previous life, his blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids were all normal.
On the contrary, the four sons, Li Hongwei, Li Hongjian, Li Hongqiang and Li Honggang, were all sick.
Especially Li Hongwei, who works the hardest, has the most problems.
I don’t know what will happen in this life.
At least Li Hongwei no longer has to work so hard to pull coal from the coal mine and no longer has to sleep in a damp cave, so he should not get rheumatism.
"Go, you, you go!" Li Pingwang angrily picked up a branch on the ground and threw it at Chen Xiaoying, asking her to go.
Chen Xiaoying came to her senses. The yard was in a mess and filled with the smell of urine. Even if she begged, she would not stay.
"Hongping, let's go."
Chen Hongping nodded, looked at Li Pingwang with complicated eyes, and followed her mother Chen Xiaoying's pace.
Chen Xiaoying walked a few steps and suddenly remembered something. She turned back and said to Li Pingwang with a smile, "By the way, you still don't know the name of your biological eldest daughter, right? She is no longer Hu Guihua, the adopted daughter of Hu Quezi's family in Hujiazhuang. She is my biological daughter, and her name is Chen Hongping. Do you remember it?"
"When other people asked you what your eldest daughter's name was, you foolishly said, 'Oh, my eldest daughter's name is Li Hongyan.'"
"People will definitely laugh at you."
Li Pingwang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became anxious. He was an extremely chauvinistic man, so how could his child not have his surname?
"No, no, no, I have to, I have to, I have to..."
He panted heavily and glared at Chen Xiaoying resentfully: "The surname is Li, Li, Li, Sui Sui men, you, woman, you, don't, want, face."
Chen Xiaoying looked disdainful and said, "Li Pingwang, you threw the child away. You didn't want her. Until now, I have found her. She is my child and she must take my last name, Chen."
"You'll be so mad. Not only is her last name Chen, but her two twin daughters also have my last name Chen. You can't be angry, but you can think about what you mean to them, mother and daughter?!"
After that, regardless of Li Pingwang's anger, she said to Li Hongli, "If you feel tired, go call Li Hongyan and ask her to replace you, so that she won't have the reputation of being a filial daughter for more than 40 years. When she is finally useful, you occupy this old man and don't give her a chance to show her talents."
Li Hongli's face turned very ugly in an instant. It's not like she hasn't heard it before.
Someone in the village has already told her.
"Your eldest sister has told them in Zhaojia Village that she is relieved that you are taking care of your father."
What does it mean? Is it still like before, where others do the work and she just has to talk?
In the past, she thought that her elder brother Li Hongwei was too calculative, but when it was her turn, she didn't want to suffer any loss.
"Yes, Mom, she should be the one to serve Dad. Why shouldn't she come?"
Li Pingwang saw with his own eyes that Chen Xiaoying was trying to sow discord between his two daughters. She asked the second daughter to cause trouble for Li Hongyan. How could she be so vicious!
I have to say that Li Pingwang is a kind father. Even if Li Hongyan treats him badly, he hopes that she can live a good life and he is fine with anything.
