Good job.
You are so smart.
Everyone looked at Li Jiakang speechlessly. Li Ping said helplessly, "Dad, I just felt it was a pity that I couldn't take him to take pictures today. I won't use this to coax him."
"You keep coming up with bad ideas," Sun Xiu said cheerfully. "Nowadays, most well-off families take photos of their children at one month, one hundred days, and one year old. If my eldest grandson asks why there's no photo of the one hundred days, what should I say?"
Li Wenbai took photos of his first birthday and his hundred-day birthday.
Although his skin was fair and tender when he was a hundred days old, he didn't have much flesh on his body.
That's why Li Ping and his wife dared to take him to take photos at that time.
The people in the photo studio were just surprised that Hu Guilan had plenty of milk and had no other thoughts.
However, since he started eating complementary foods, he has been gaining weight day by day.
More than two months ago during the Chinese New Year, we didn't dare let him show up.
You can imagine his current situation...
Hearing her words, Li Jiakang hesitated and said, "What if he asks why there are no photos of his first birthday?"
"When he grows up, you can tell him directly. He will definitely understand." Sun Xiu answered without hesitation.
Li Ping quickly picked up the conversation, "Yes, that's what I thought. At worst, I can make it up to him later."
At this moment, Li Wenbai in Sun Xiu's arms suddenly shouted, "Dad, Dad."
Li Ping also agreed repeatedly and wanted to hold the child in his arms and cuddle with him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he was put in his arms, Li Wenbai started screaming loudly and no matter how I tried to comfort him, it was useless.
This made Li Ping's newly rising fatherly love disappear without a trace in an instant, and he handed the child back to Sun Xiu.
It's strange.
As soon as he was in Sun Xiu's arms, the boy stopped crying and started giggling, calling out "Grandma, Grandma" repeatedly.
Seeing this scene, Li Jiakang patted Li Ping on the shoulder, then grinned and said, "This kid is just like a root."
Hearing this, Li Ping's face looked even darker.
Sun Xiu teased Li Wenbai while saying unhappily, "Why don't you say that his father also followed his roots?"
Li Xu burst out laughing.
Li Ping suppressed his laughter and quickly agreed, "Mom is right, Li Wenbo's father is just following his roots."
The smile on Li Jiakang's face disappeared instantly, and then he glared at the Li Ping brothers fiercely.
Li Ping and the other man pretended not to see anything and continued doing what they were doing.
Soon, a sumptuous dinner was prepared.
Before the meal started, everyone took turns to say a few words of blessing to Li Wenbai.
Then the meal officially begins.
While eating, Sun Xiu asked, "Guilan, are the red eggs ready?"
"I'm ready."
"Okay." Sun Xiu nodded, then peeled an egg, broke it into pieces and fed it to Li Wenbai bit by bit.
Hu Guilan couldn't help but say, "Mom, how about I feed him?"
Sun Xiu refused directly, "No, you eat yours, I'll feed you."
Hearing her say this, Hu Guilan no longer insisted.
After dinner, everyone chatted for a while when they saw Li Qiang and others coming over.
Qin Hua handed the box to Hu Guilan and said, "Sister-in-law, this is a gift from our family for Wen Bo. Please keep it."
"Xiaohua, you three have just started working and need money everywhere. Let's just forget it." Hu Guilan was a little hesitant.
"You'd better keep it. This item is specially prepared for Wen Bo."
This made Li Jiakang and the others curious, "Xiaohua, can you take it out and let us see it?"
"Of course." Qin Hua opened the box directly, took out a bracelet and handed it to Hu Guilan.
Hu Guilan looked at it for a while before she said in surprise, "Why do I feel like it's made of gold?"
"What?" Upon hearing this, Li Jiakang couldn't sit still. "Xiao Qiang, where did you get the gold bracelet?"
He knows too well the financial situation of the Li family.
If this thing had been available back then, he and Sun Xiu wouldn't have been starving and would have had to go to the county town to work.
Li Ping's expression changed as well, and he quickly asked, "Are you going to the black market to find someone to exchange it with?"
"No, no, we know how dangerous the black market is now, and we haven't been there for a long time." Li Qiang said, "Actually, this was given to me by my dad."
"Your dad gave it to you?" Li Jiakang was stunned for a moment, then he slammed the table and angrily shouted, "You little bastard, how dare you lie to me? How dare I not know what your dad has? Where did he get this?"
Sun Xiu reached out and patted him, saying unhappily, "Just say what you want to say. Why are you banging the table? Don't you see there are two children in the room?"
Li Jiakang turned his head and saw that Li Wenbai was so scared that his mouth was pouting, as if he wanted to cry but didn't dare to. The anger on his face disappeared instantly, and he showed an embarrassed expression.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Li Zeming crying in Li Qiang's arms.
Hearing the crying, Li Wenbai could no longer hold back and started crying loudly.
The two children's cries came one after another, and Li Xu's scalp tingled.
Hu Guilan and Qin Hua had no choice but to take their children to the yard to coax them.
Sun Xiu said in a bad tone, "Old man, if anything happens to them after being frightened, think about the consequences yourself."
"Auntie, it's not that serious. The child will be fine after crying for a while." Then Li Qiang explained, "Uncle, that thing was really given to me by my father, but he gave me a large yellow croaker at that time. The three of us paid someone to make the bracelet. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiaohui."
"Uncle, my brother didn't lie. It was indeed given to me by my father." Li Hui said.
Seeing that they didn't seem to be lying, Li Jiakang was a little confused. "Big yellow croaker? Where did your dad get it?"
"Last year, when Zeming was about to be born, a neighbor came to my house in the middle of the night asking for help. My dad, considering we'd been neighbors for so many years and wanting to earn some merit for Zeming, gave him some money and two kilograms of coarse grains. Unexpectedly, the neighbor gave my dad a large yellow croaker in exchange. There was no way my dad would refuse, so he had no choice but to accept."
Li Jiakang and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Sun Xiu couldn't help but say, "I've lived there quite a bit, so how come I didn't know there was such a wealthy person hiding among my neighbors?"
Li Qiang scratched his head. "Not to mention you, even my dad didn't expect him to be able to come up with this thing."
After pondering for a moment, Li Jiakang asked, "Did Duan Erlu take it out?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qiang's face was filled with surprise. "Uncle, how did you know that?"
"There's no one else except him. There are some things you don't know. Duan Erlu's great-grandfather used to be a big landlord, but his grandfather squandered the family fortune on drinking, gambling, whoring, and opium. Later, his father brought his family to settle down with us. I didn't expect his family still had some money left."
"Uncle, how do you know so clearly?"
