This pair of leather shoes doesn't look cheap at first glance, and it's hard to believe that the kid is thinking about his second uncle.
He looked at Xiang Liwei with loving eyes, just like he looked at his own sons.
The two talked for a while, and then Xiang Liwei went home to work.
When the sun was about to set, Zhang Jidi finally finished his reunion with his elder sister and went home.
She always has a smile on her face when she goes home. Even though she has grandchildren at her age, she is always that innocent girl in front of her sister.
Seeing his wife so happy, Xiang Hongqi finally dared to tell her about Xiang Liwei: "Isn't our Li Party going to warm up the stove next week?"
Zhang Jidi poured hot water for his feet, still smiling, "Yes, I also told my eldest sister that they can come over next week if they are free."
The purpose of the Warming Stove Banquet is to have a lively atmosphere, the more people there are the better, as the goal is to attract popularity.
If there are only a few people, the landlord will even invite all the neighbors over. The food is not only sumptuous, but there will be more meat dishes than usual.
It is not mandatory to give gifts. Generally, you can give some household items depending on your family's situation. It is up to you whether you want to be generous or frugal.
Towels, rice bowls, vegetable dishes, washbasins, pillows, and even drinking cups will do.
Xiang Hongqi glanced at his wife's face and licked his lips: "Well, that... is us, uh..."
He hesitated for a long time and refused to say what was on his mind. He had clearly prepared his speech countless times in his mind this afternoon, but now he was tongue-tied.
Zhang Jidi wiped his calves with a towel and suddenly said, "Want to invite your nephew over for the stove-warming feast?"
He mumbled for a long time, and those who didn't know him would think he had a stomachache and couldn't poop. She knew this person very well, so she should stop beating around the bush.
Xiang Hongqi shrank his neck and smiled awkwardly: "My dear wife, you are wise. It is good to have more people."
His voice got smaller and smaller, proving that he lacked confidence.
Xiang Hongqi used his ability to read people's expressions to the utmost, intending to quickly avoid his wife's loving "touch" on his face with her arms swung wide if anything went wrong.
Previously, they had a fight in the middle of the night because Xiang Yaoyao pushed Xiang Mianmian and she hit her head, but they felt embarrassed and didn't tell anyone about it.
To be precise, it was Zhang Jidi who unilaterally beat Xiang Hongqi, and he was in the wrong and didn't dare to move at all.
After finally getting over Xiang Yaoyao, this time Xiang Liwei came. He was really afraid of angering his wife, but he really couldn't bear to give up his younger brother.
Xiang Liwei is also different from his cousin Xiang Yaoyao. She is well-behaved and sensible, so he wanted to help.
Zhang Jidi was not as hysterical as he had imagined. Instead, he supported his knees with his elbows and began to think with his chin in his hand.
She had been looking at Xiang Liwei coldly during this period. He had worked honestly for two or three months and had not come to her house to make friends with her out of the blue. He was considered a decent child.
If her sixth son Limin were still alive, he would be a boy two years older than Xiang Liwei.
Sunny, cheerful, lively and confident, even if he might be as rebellious and disobedient as Xiang Lihua, it is better than turning into a handful of dust.
Now that Xiang Lihua already has a wife, he should be getting married soon and be able to show his filial piety to his parents.
Zhang Jidi stared at one place in a trance, imagining these scenes. The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. An ugly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and two lines of tears fell directly.
Even after 20 years, a mother can never forget the pain of her child losing the warmth in her arms.
She really wanted to speak up and say that she agreed to let Xiang Liwei come to her house for the warming stove banquet, so that the uncle and nephew could renew their relationship.
But this mouth seemed to be stuck with glue and couldn't open at all.
She is a housewife who never makes mistakes in interpersonal relationships and can debate with many scholars eloquently, but there is a day when she cannot speak. How ridiculous!
Seeing Zhang Jidi like this, Xiang Hongqi immediately panicked and quickly wiped his tears with his handkerchief: "Don't cry, oh, don't cry, I won't call my nephew! I really won't call him!"
He knew that his wife's heart was tied to the innocent child who died in vain, and when he woke up in the middle of the night, he would hug his wife and miss Xiang Liming.
But this time, he was really thinking about the help Xiang Tiezhu gave to their family when the family was divided, and wanted to restore the relationship with his younger brother.
He didn't want the two families to become strangers. If this continued, either he would appear at Xiang Tiezhu's funeral, or Xiang Tiezhu would see him in both black and white.
I'm almost at the age of knowing my destiny, and one day I might not see the sun tomorrow.
Xiang Hongqi knew that Zhang Jidi would most likely make a fuss about this matter, but she didn't expect that she, who had always been tough, would suddenly become weak and shed tears.
As a result, he didn't dare to mention Xiang Liwei again. He could break his promise to his nephew, but his wife was the one who would accompany him for life, and Zhang Jidi was the most important.
Zhang Jidi frantically wiped his tears with his handkerchief and said, "Let him come. I..."
She wanted to say, "I don't mind," but suddenly a sour feeling welled up in her eyes, and her eyes turned red in an instant. She squeezed her throat and couldn't speak.
It is really difficult for people who have not experienced the pain of losing a child to understand a mother's pain, even if it is the biological father.
Zhang Jidi wanted to reconcile with her past, but found that Xiang Liming's voice, appearance and smile stood in the way, and she couldn't get over this hurdle.
