Zhao Jingui stood at the door, looking eagerly, "You said you would come home after you get to the mountain, why are you not seeing anyone yet?"

"His father, go to the back mountain to greet him. Don't let him forget the way and get stuck in the mountain."

Li Youtian responded and immediately walked to the front. After a few steps, he saw Jiang Li and Qi Shaoqiang who were surrounded, and quickly squeezed over to rescue them.

"Li Zi, Shao Qiang, you are back. Have you had breakfast? Hurry up, your godmother is waiting for you at home."

After those people left, the old ladies who didn't get any advantage gathered together and grumbled to each other.

"Look at Li Youtian, he's like a lackey. Is he trying to curry favor with Jiang Li because she's rich?"

"But what's going on? In recent years, the Li family has been receiving letters and parcels. From time to time, there are toffees from Haicheng on the shoulders of Dongtou and Maisui, as well as that thing. What a coincidence..."

"chocolate!"

"Yes, yes, yes. You know how much benefit Jiang Li has brought to the Li family."

A few people were jealous of each other, but they could only grumble behind others' backs.

In recent years, the Li family has become prosperous. First, the third son of the Li family was quick-witted and set up a stall in the county to sell buns. Although he worked day and night, he still made some good money.

Then there was Li Chunlan, an old maid who had been on blind dates for many years but had never been successful, but unexpectedly, she suddenly turned around and married into the county.

Her boyfriend is amazing, handsome, and I heard he is a government employee, drives a big car, and everyone in his family has a job.

I don't know what kind of luck Li Chunlan had. Among all the people in the village, except Jiang Li, she was the one who married the best.

…

"Hey, Li Zi, Shao Qiang, I haven't seen you two for a long time."

Zhao Jingui took Jiang Li's right hand and walked to her side. They hadn't seen each other for two years. Seeing that her face was rosy and she looked very good, he was very happy.

"Where's the child? Why didn't you bring him back?"

"The child is still young, and I was afraid he would make trouble if I brought him home, so I left him at home."

"Yeah, mom, the train is crowded with people, and what else, germs! It's good for the kids."

Li Dongtou has made great progress in his studies in recent years. He learned two new words and used them immediately.

Jiang Li touched his head and said, "You haven't grown much! How are you doing in school recently?"

When it comes to studying, Li Xiaotou feels guilty. Although he often ranks last in exams like before, it's just because he is good at it that he has the nerve to mention it.

"It's a pity that he can only recognize two words. If the village said that all children had to go to school, I would have let him follow his third brother to sell buns."

Li Xiao jumped up and down, "It's better for me to sell buns than to sit in the classroom and listen to the teacher chanting."

"Go to hell!" Zhao Jingui kicked him, "Hurry up and do your homework."

"Lizi, you and Shaoqiang should sleep at home tonight. There are many empty rooms at home now."

Ever since the third son came to the county to do business, he soon rented a house there and mostly lived there with his wife.

Seeing that the third brother had made money, Zhu Xia felt very happy. She had several quarrels with the eldest brother and forced him to go to the city to do business.

But although they both sell steamed buns and steamed buns, Zhu Xia is stingy and makes less steamed buns and steamed buns, and she also likes to keep them clean, so she has fewer customers.

The eldest brother got up early and worked late, and earned some money. He left the children at home with the elderly and took care of them. But within two months, he wanted to quit and took Zhu Xia home.

Zhu Xia was unwilling, so she went back to her parents' home, but she hasn't come back for a week.

Thinking that Li Chunlan was going to get married, Li Jinbu swallowed his pride and went to Zhu Xia's parents' home to pick her up. After much persuasion, Zhu Xia finally agreed to come back.

He was so angry that he came back and shouted that he wanted a divorce, but Zhao Jingui scolded him severely and he gave up.

Although the divorce has been mentioned, I am also willing to pick someone up again.

After a long separation, Zhao Jingui held Jiang Li in his arms and kept her warm. The family had a lively meal together.

Tomorrow is the wedding day. In the afternoon, all the aunties in the village came to help.

Li Chunlan couldn't stand being teased by everyone, so she pulled Jiang Li and hid in the bridal chamber.

The whole house was covered with red window paper-cuts, and the quilts, mattresses and furniture that would be the dowry tomorrow were all neatly arranged, with wedding characters and red flowers tied on them.

"Tell me about you and Tang Huaimin!"

Jiang Li was particularly surprised when she received the letter and saw the name of the man Li Chunlan was going to marry.

"Oh, what can I say!"

Li Chunlan twisted her braid with an embarrassed look on her face, her face full of the shyness of a newly-married woman.

"Tell me how you two met, hurry up and tell me in detail!"

Li Chunlan was hesitant, but Jiang Li was unwilling to let her go and tickled her on the bed.

"Okay, okay, is that okay?"

"There was one time when I went to catch up with the crowd. It was summer and there was a heavy rain on the road. The river in front of our village was flooded..."

"Wait a minute, don't say anything yet.

Let me guess, was it Tang Huaimin who came to the rescue and saved you when he saw you trapped in the river?

Then you two got to know each other, and after a while, he came to propose marriage?"

Li Chunlan smiled with her lips pursed, but she just kept talking. Jiang Li was so anxious that she had no choice but to beg her softly, and Li Chunlan finally opened her mouth.

"It is wrong to save someone from danger. But the target is wrong. He saved me, not me who saved him."

"ah?"

"You forgot, when I was little I followed my elder brother to fish and bathe in the river, and I could hold my breath for two minutes.

The river was rising that day, and I saw him carrying some elementary school students from the village across the river. He slipped and fell into the river.

The waves were so strong that the man was swept down. If he had grabbed a willow branch by the river, he would have been dead.

Seeing that the branch was about to break, I was so anxious that I had to move forward. Several people who were crossing the river untied their belts and clothes and tied them to the tree. I then went down into the river and pulled him up.

You know, he is so big, but he is still a landlubber. "

"And what happened next?"

Jiang Li knew that in this era, even if it was to save someone, it would always sound good if a man and a woman got wet and hugged each other.

Li Chunlan seemed to recall something, her face full of happiness, "Later, when we got ashore, he followed me all the way.

I asked him what he wanted to say, and he blushed as much as his bottom. He just said thank you and followed me home.

"I was afraid that my parents would get worried and angry if they knew that I went down to the river to save someone, so I sent him back."

"At first he was obedient and left. He came again the next day, the third day, and the fourth day. Every time he saw me he would say something.

Either they stuff something in my hand, or they take over my work when they see me doing it.

The villagers knew who spread the rumor that I had hugged a man in the river, and my father got so anxious that he started arguing with the person who spread the rumor.

When Li Chunlan said this, the half-closed door creaked open, and Auntie Jin Gui came in with two bowls of brown sugar and egg soup. "One bowl for each of you."
