"He went to curry favor with your uncle Mancang and your second master," Li Ershuang said expressionlessly. That woman would do anything to help her son succeed and vent her anger.
Li Bin… “Don’t my uncle and the others know either?”
"Needless to say, if you had known earlier, your aunt would have coaxed your grandfather around." Li Ershuang curled his lips. That sister-in-law was the most snobbish and good at talking. The eldest son got the family's favor because of her talk. He and his wife were not good at talking, but the other woman could give birth to two boys in a row.
"What else have you heard?" Li Ershuang asked his son. He didn't have time to go out yesterday and didn't know what his second uncle had done.
"My second uncle bought a lot of things for Uncle Tiedan and the others. I heard that they do business in Beijing and the conditions are quite good. I don't know anything else." Li Bin asked these questions in the morning.
"If you study hard and get into high school, Dad will risk his reputation to ask your uncle Mancang to give you some guidance." The conditions are not high. Everyone has their own life, and they can't flatter others and ask for money. The child can beg for help for the sake of his relatives, in case there is a college student in his family.
Li Bin nodded excitedly. "Dad, I want to see their junior high and high school books and study notes. They will definitely be very helpful to me. The teacher said that the teaching quality in Beijing is incomparable to ours."
Li Ershuang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to your uncle Mancang."
It doesn't matter what he does, even if he's a coward or stupid. As long as his child can succeed, he'll be willing to do anything for him.
Li Bin held Li Ershuang and said, "Dad, my Second Uncle has a deep affection for my grandfather. Otherwise, why would he come to look for me at such an old age? Otherwise, we should support my grandfather at home. Second Uncle can only treat me well because of my grandfather's face. He made such an ugly scene last night. He must have some dissatisfaction with us."
Li Ershuang looked his son up and down. His son was different from him. He was smart and would definitely have a bright future. But Li Ershuang really wanted to take care of his father in his old age. He felt very uncomfortable seeing his father living alone at such an old age.
"Okay, your mother will definitely agree, and your grandfather will also eat a little bit. If you get it, you must be truly filial to your grandfather."
"Dad, don't worry. Even if Second Master and the others help me, I may not be able to pass the exam. I am sincere in supporting you." Li Bin said solemnly.
"Go to work, your mother can go, it will be lively at noon." Li Ershuang glanced at his eldest brother.
Li Bin smiled, but his hands kept moving.
When the old man and his two companions returned home, they saw Xu Guiying slaughtering a chicken in the yard.
"Second son's wife, why did you come so early?" the uncle asked in confusion.
"Dad, second uncle, brother Mancang, you must have gone to the grave. This chicken is old and needs to be stewed for a longer time, otherwise you won't be able to bite it." Xu Guiyin's face was full of smiles.
"We can do it ourselves, and we'll have to delay your work," Li Mancang said politely.
"No need to delay, Ershuang is working in the fields, Second Uncle, you guys go and cool off, I'll take care of you after dinner."
Li Mancang was a little puzzled by Xu Guiying's enthusiasm. He wasn't like this yesterday, so why was he suddenly so enthusiastic?
The eldest uncle glanced at the second son's wife and said, "Let's go and sit at the village entrance. Come back later."
As soon as I left the house, I saw my old friend who I drank with yesterday. “Brother, brother, come to my house for dinner today. I just came over and there’s no one at your house.”
"No, I'm not going. My house is ready. My daughter-in-law is killing a chicken. You can come to my house for dinner today. Second daughter-in-law, please prepare a few more dishes for lunch." The uncle felt much better today.
"Oh, you said I was just a little late. Fine, come to my place for dinner tomorrow." The old man was also straightforward.
A few people went to the village entrance and chatted with Uncle Tiedan for a while. Xu Guiying had finished cooking at home, so he went to call the old man and others to come and eat.
It was just like yesterday when we were together. It was stuffy and hot in my uncle’s room, so we sat in the yard to eat.
Ershuang and Li Bin came early at noon today, and the old man quickly invited them to eat together.
