After hearing this, Li Mei smiled and said, "Dad, I think you're just worrying about nothing. Even if I can't come back after graduation, can I not come back for the New Year? I won't say too much then. It should be okay to see you once a year, right?"
Li Jiakang sighed and continued to explain, "Silly girl, don't you consider the reality? By the time you get married and have children in Wuhan, you'll have family and children there. Will you be able to come back every year?
Let’s not talk about anything else. Those college students in our county who were assigned to other places in the past may not come back for three to five years. To put it bluntly, they can’t even get close to their parents, let alone their uncles and aunts.”
Just as Li Mei was about to reply, she heard an old voice coming from outside the door, "A child who doesn't even feel close to their parents is an ungrateful person."
Then Sun Xiu came in supporting Old Lady Sun.
Li Jiakang and the other two quickly stood up and stepped forward to greet them.
Before they could say a few words, Uncle Sun and others walked in.
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Old Lady Sun asked, "Xiao Li, what did you mean by children who aren't close to their parents?"
Li Jiakang quickly repeated what had just happened.
After listening to this, Mrs. Sun finally realized that what she said was different from what they said.
She doesn't care much either.
Because she felt that there was nothing wrong with what she said.
So, with a smile on his face, he said, "Xiaomei, what your father said just now is right. No matter how close the relationship is, as long as you don't visit each other for a long time, the relationship will definitely fade. You came late today. When your whole family comes to pay New Year's greetings in a few days, come earlier. Then you can get closer to your uncle and aunt."
They say that old people become more cunning.
Her understanding of the ways of the world is much better than Li Jiakang's.
Naturally I agree with his idea.
Uncle Sun and others agreed and said that they would let the children get acquainted with Li Mei when the time comes.
But they didn't notice that the expressions on Li Jiakang and the other three's faces suddenly became extremely unnatural.
Sun Xiu said with a chuckle, "Mom, this time we are here just to celebrate the New Year."
"Huh?" Old Mrs. Sun was stunned. "For New Year's greetings?"
Then Sun Xiu gave a brief account of the matter.
The smile on Mrs. Sun's face disappeared instantly.
Li Xu and others hurried forward to persuade them.
Uncle Sun and the others looked at each other and knew that what Sun Xiu said made sense.
At this time, the safety of your family is definitely the most important thing.
So he stepped forward and tried to persuade them.
After a long time, Mrs. Sun seemed to be in a better mood.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Sun Xiu and others said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, he specifically asked Uncle Sun and others to give the old lady more guidance.
Walking on the road.
Li Xu sighed, "Grandma is still a little depressed. When I handed her the New Year gift just now, I saw that her expression didn't change at all."
"What are you saying? We are not the third child. How can we not see this?"
Li Mei thought what he said was nonsense.
Apart from Li Chen, who has no vision, who else can't see it?
Sun Xiu sighed, "This is the first time in so many years that we haven't visited your grandma's house for the New Year. She must be in a bad mood. Now I just hope she can get over it."
Seeing that her mood was also getting low, Li Jiakang tried to persuade her, "With the help of my brother-in-law and the others, Mom will definitely come to her senses soon. Besides, this year is a special case. If things really don't work out, we can just go visit her more often in the future."
Sun Xiu shook her head. "New Year's Eve is different from other days. Besides, over the past year, I haven't visited her for a single month. You can see that my mother is still like this."
These words almost made Li Jiakang become autistic.
Because he suddenly thought of Mr. and Mrs. Li.
I wonder if the two elders would have the same emotion.
At this time, Li Mei stepped forward and took Sun Xiu's arm, then asked, "Mom, do you and grandma have similar personalities?"
Sun Xiu glanced at her doubtfully, "Somewhat similar, what's wrong?"
"You didn't plan to visit grandma this time, and she ended up like this. What would you do if I were to stay in Wuhan and not come back for several years?"
Sun Xiu said angrily, "What else can I do? Then I'll just pretend you're not my daughter."
Li Mei didn't take it seriously. Instead, she said with a smile, "You can disown me, but I can't live without you as my mother. Just based on this statement, I will definitely try not to stay in Wuhan in the future. If I do stay, I will definitely come back once a year."
Sun Xiu burst out laughing, "You silly girl, you only know how to say nice things to coax me."
The gloomy mood just now seemed to be swept away.
Li Xu was stunned.
He never expected that Li Mei, who usually had such a tough temper, would have such an effect when she acted coquettishly.
The four of them walked home while chatting.
After arriving home, he told Li Ping and his wife what had happened, and then they went back to their rooms to rest.
Early in the morning.
Li Xu played with Li Ju for a while, then walked out.
Relying on the memory in my mind, I came to a courtyard.
Seeing that the courtyard gate was closed, Li Xu walked forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, a skinny old lady opened the gate.
"Who are you?"
"Grandma Xiao, I'm Li Xu, Xiao Jianping's colleague. I heard he had a broken arm when I got my paycheck yesterday, so I came to see him."
"Li Xu?" Old Madam Xiao seemed to be trying hard to recall, and then asked hesitantly, "Have you been here with the Su family kid before?"
"Yes, that was half a year ago. I didn't expect you to have such a good memory and still remember me." Li Xu said with a smile.
The boy from the Su family that Old Lady Xiao was talking about was Su Weidong.
He brought Li Xu here half a year ago.
Li Xu didn't expect that the old lady had such a good memory. She could still remember someone who had only come once.
Hearing the confirmation, Mrs. Xiao's expression instantly became extremely enthusiastic, and she blamed herself, "Oh, look at my memory. I need you to introduce yourself before I remember. Come in, come in."
Li Xu walked in and followed her inside.
Old Madam Xiao brought him directly to the main hall, brewed a cup of sugar water and handed it to him, then said with a pleasant face, "Xiao Li, sit down and have a drink of sugar water to rest first. The fat boy is still lying in the room. I'll go wake him up."
Little Fatty is Xiao Jianping's nickname.
I heard that he was much heavier than other children when he was born, so his family gave him this nickname.
And he lived up to the name.
According to Su Weidong, Xiao Jianping was much fatter than most people before the disaster.
But now he has become a completely skinny guy.
Hearing this suddenly, Li Xu suddenly had an urge to laugh.
Fortunately, I managed to hold it in time.
I didn't expect that it was already this late and Xiao Jianping still hadn't gotten up.
