Xia Yulan was quite happy to hear this: "That's great, the two of you will have a companion together. I was quite worried at first because you have never been far away since you were a child. I was still worried and thought of asking your dad to send you to the army and then come back. But now it seems that's not necessary!"
"It seems like our Shanzi is also quite lucky! What does your classmate's family do? How did he get to join that army?"
Xia Yulan began to inquire about that classmate's family again.
Li Yuanshan also said whatever he wanted to say: "My classmate Qian Enci, but when we were in school, we were just acquaintances and we hardly talked to each other.
But he was well-dressed. I heard that his father was an official in the county, but I don’t know the details.”
"No matter what his family does, if he's a good person and worth making friends with, then we can make friends with him and get closer to him. If he's not a good person, then we should stay away from him. You're grown up now, so think twice before you do anything!"
Li Shuhua took the opportunity to teach his son another sentence.
Li Yuanshan also agreed to all of them, knowing that his father was doing him good.
"Dad, I know!"
After the family had a lively dinner, they prepared some dishes for tomorrow and were busy until very late before going to bed.
However, what they didn't expect was that Qian Enci, the protagonist at their dinner table tonight, came to visit them the next day with gifts.
"Uncle, aunt, I hope you don't mind my sudden visit!"
Li Shuhua and Xia Yulan looked at the young man in front of them with confused expressions.
In the end, it was Li Yuanshan who introduced to them that this was Qian Enci they were discussing.
Qian Enci was also a very outgoing person, and he started talking again.
"Uncle, aunt, I really didn't expect that Li Yuanshan and I would have such a fate. Not only were we high school classmates, but we could even serve in the same army.
I thought I would have to report alone, how boring the journey would be!
Fortunately, I suddenly decided to go to the train station to check the train tickets yesterday, so I met Li Yuanshan.
You don’t know, when I was in school, I wanted to be friends with Li Yuanshan, but at that time Li Yuanshan was a good student and didn’t like to talk, and my academic performance was average at that time, so I didn’t dare to get close to him.
Hehe, but now it's all right. Look at our fate. We should be brothers. Otherwise, how could we be in the same unit? This is fate. When fate comes, it can't be stopped. Hehe!
I am here today to deliver train tickets to Li Yuanshan. My dad has a friend at the train station, so I asked him to get me two sleeper tickets. I delivered them to you quickly so that Li Yuanshan doesn’t have to queue up to buy them!
Also, when that day comes, the two of us can just go in through the employee entrance."
The Li family members looked at Qian Enci, who was so outgoing and could talk so many words in one breath, and found him very cute.
It seems that Qian Enci has a really good personality and his height is comparable to Li Yuanshan.
Li Yuanshan took the train ticket, and Li Shuhua took out the money and gave it to him.
Xia Yulan liked this kind of talkative and cheerful child the most, and she eagerly invited him to have dinner.
Qian Enci was not polite and talked to Li Yuanshan in detail about some taboos and things that needed to be brought.
"My dad told me that after joining the army, they will give you everything, so you should bring less clothes. If you have food, you can stay longer. Although the food in the army is definitely not bad, we still need to have a snack occasionally!
If you have money, you can bring more! But we have an allowance every month. I heard from my dad that soldiers like us can't do any hard work. After all, we are still high school students, right? "
I have to say that Qian Enci is really a chatterbox, he can be compared with their little chatterbox Li Yuanbing.
But one thing is that he was very good at observing people's expressions and he saw the situation of the Li family as soon as he entered the door.
Although the Li family cannot be said to be very wealthy, they are definitely not a particularly poor family, and they are definitely not the kind that can't afford to eat.
And when eating, there are several meat dishes on the table.
Air-dried rabbit, air-dried chicken, braised fish, and even lamb.
And the taste was so good that Qian Enci almost swallowed his tongue. There was no other way, it was just too good. He had never eaten such delicious meat in his life.
In this day and age, if there is a meat dish on the dinner table, it means that the family is well-off, let alone if there are four meat dishes on the table.
Even their family has never been so extravagant.
Qian Enci was one of those who came very early, arriving at around seven in the morning.
Because the Xia family lived far away, they arrived at half past nine. Of course, Aunt Zhao and her family from the same village also came very early to help.
There were many people at home, so we quickly cleaned up everything that needed to be cleaned up and set up the table.
Li Wenjing's aunt, Li Xiaoling, didn't come until almost time for dinner. She only brought her two daughters, Zhao Yanli and Zhao Yanxia. Zhao Yubo didn't come.
Their aunt's exact words were that the family was busy with farm work!
Zhao Yanli is ten years old this year and Zhao Yanxia is six years old. The two sisters are four years apart in age, but their height is like that of children who are seven or eight years old. They are skinny and bony. Zhao Yanxia is not much better, being thin and small.
When Xia Yulan saw the two girls, she was so attracted by them that she hugged them in her arms as soon as they came.
"Yanli, Yanxia, come and let your aunt see if you miss her."
As Xia Yulan spoke, she took out a few pieces of candy from her pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the two girls.
"Auntie, here are some candies. Take them and go out to play with your sister!"
Xia Yulan sent the two maids away and then turned her gaze to her sister-in-law.
Before Li Xiaoling got married, she was one of the most beautiful girls in the area, with fair and rosy skin and a very good complexion. But after she got married, she became thinner and thinner, and her complexion became worse and worse. She is obviously 30 years old, but now she looks no different from 40 years old.
"Sister-in-law, if there is any work left to do, tell me and I will do it!"
Li Xiaoling has always been a very hardworking person.
But Xia Yulan always felt a little awkward. The person in front of her was still the same person, but there were some differences. If she wanted to put it specifically, she couldn't tell what the difference was.
"There's nothing to do. I'm just waiting for you. You don't need to do anything today. Since you're here, just relax for the day and don't think about work all the time. After dinner, don't leave in a hurry. Your eldest brother has something to tell you."
Xia Yulan held her sister-in-law's hand, feeling the roughness in her hand, and looking at her sallow arms, her face looked okay.
