Li Yuanshan, Li Yuanbing and Li Wenjing all stared at Li Shuhua, waiting for his answer.
"In fact, I thought so at the beginning, thinking that your grandfather was reluctant to leave and wanted me to take care of him in his old age, so he did all this, but later I found out that everything was not as I thought.
This is a long story. I was able to join the army because your grandmother, after she passed away, had her childhood friend arrange it.
Your grandmother was a girl from a wealthy family. Later, when her whole family left, she married your grandfather.
Your grandma's childhood friend originally thought that your grandma had passed away with her family. They met by chance in town and chatted with each other. Knowing that your grandma was having a hard time now, she wanted to help.
Originally, they had good intentions and thought that if I could join the army, I could receive a monthly allowance, which would also reduce the burden on my family.
But your grandfather doesn't think so. He thinks that your grandmother's childhood friend has bad intentions and that the two of them must have done something wrong behind his back. He also thinks that I am not his son, but the son of your grandmother and his childhood friend.
If I didn't have this relationship, that person wouldn't have been so kind to help me and let me join the army."
After hearing what Li Shuhua said, several people lost their composure.
Li Wenjing had known about this for a long time, so she was not surprised.
Li Shuhua was still in the mood to joke: "It's not your grandfather's fault for thinking this way. Your grandmother is pretty and comes from a wealthy family. Your grandfather is also a farmhand in their family. It's normal for him to feel inferior.
If it weren't for this, how could your grandmother, who has both good looks, knowledge, and money, marry him?"
At this time, Li Shuhua had to admit that his father was right.
If his mother had no other choice, how could she have married his father?
"Your grandfather doesn't know that just this thought of his has already insulted your grandmother's character.
Originally, your grandmother didn't know what your grandfather was thinking. Later, after your second uncle went to the army, your grandmother wanted me to work in the furniture factory. After the gift she prepared was destroyed by your grandfather, the two had a big fight. During the fight, your grandfather said in words and deeds that your grandmother was unfaithful to her husband.
Your grandmother was an extremely insightful and intelligent person. When she heard this, she provoked him with words, and your brainless grandfather said everything he was thinking.
The relationship between the two was not very good to begin with, and since then, they became strangers living in the same yard?
After I got married to your mother, your grandmother divided the family directly. Actually, when she said she divided the family, she meant that she separated your mother and me.
Your second uncle has joined the army, and your aunt is still unmarried and lives with them."
Li Shuhua originally felt a little aggrieved and angry, but after he finished speaking, it felt like all these feelings had faded away.
Li Yuanshan, Li Yuanbing and Li Wenjing looked at each other in confusion. What could they say?
In fact, they really wanted to pry open his grandfather's head and see what was inside his head, just look at their father's appearance, how much he looked like their grandfather.
It's just that their dad is taller than their grandfather.
As long as the two of them walk out together, just one glance and you will know that they are father and son.
Li Yuanbing thought so and asked.
"Is my grandfather blind?"
Xia Yulan said disdainfully, "Isn't he just blind? No matter if your grandmother gave birth to him or that He Zhaodi, among all the children, your father is the most like him. And yet, he's still doubting this and that?
Luckily, your grandma is very smart, and your dad inherited his brain from hers!"
"Okay, you all know about the past. When you see him in the future, just call him what you want to call him.
Although what he did was not what a human being would do, we still have to give him the respect he deserves. We can't let others find fault with our family and say that we have bad upbringing.
As for what he said, just let it go in one ear and out the other. Just keep doing what you're supposed to do!"
Li Shuhua gave the children a few more instructions and made his attitude clear to them.
"Shanzi, don't think too much. Your enlistment quota was bought by your sister in exchange for ginseng. Your grandfather doesn't have the ability to hinder anything.
Your name is written on the enlistment notice. Even if you are willing to give up your spot to Li Baofeng, the army will not accept him!
Don't take your grandfather's attitude to heart, and don't be sad. A real man should have ambitions and not be trapped in trivial family matters."
Li Yuanshan glanced at Li Shuhua and promised loudly, "Dad, Grandpa's attitude just now really made me sad, but after hearing what you said to Mom, I'm no longer sad. I promise you that when I get to the army, I will do my best and will never bring shame to you. I want you to be proud of me!"
Li Shuhua said with tears in his eyes: "Okay, okay, okay, my good son, your parents don't expect you to succeed. No matter what happens in the future or what you do, you must ensure your own safety!"
Tonight, some people talked about their past memories, some people listened to their past memories, and then fell asleep.
They still have a lot of things to do tomorrow, and they can't change their original ideas just because Li Daniu is coming. The banquet has to continue the day after tomorrow.
With the crowing of the rooster, a new day begins.
Today their family will split into several groups and notify relatives to come for a banquet tomorrow.
Li Yuanshan and Li Yuanbing went to his aunt's house and told her to come for dinner tomorrow.
It was Xia Yulan who was notified at grandma's house, so only Li Shuhua and Li Wenjing, father and daughter, were left at home.
Li Shuhua went to Wu Aijun's house early in the morning. The relationship between the two families was already good, and with Li Wenjing saving Goudan twice, the relationship between the two families became even closer. If they wanted to hold a banquet, of course they had to invite their family members.
Sure enough, when Wu Aijun heard that Li Shuhua was going to hold a banquet, he was very happy and helped him prepare tables, chairs and benches. Regardless of the relationship between their two families, he also hoped that Li Yuanshan would be well. He had watched the child grow up, and if he got better, he would be the pride of their Qingshan Brigade.
The tables, chairs and benches are all borrowed from the brigade headquarters. Just wash them and return them after use.
Li Wenjing was alone at home with nothing to do, so she closed the door and entered the space.
During the past few days on the train, she didn't dare to enter the space. She had just learned how to draw talismans and was still very interested in it.
She drew many talismans in one go, the most common of which were for peace and happiness. Of course, she also created a lot of new ones, such as the crawling talisman and the dog barking talisman...
After Li Shuhua came back, Li Wenjing left the space and handed him an enhanced version of the Peace and Blessing that she had drawn.
