Children's emotions are not hidden.
Because Le Huai was seven or eight years younger than his two older brothers, Aunt Li doted on this little grandson even more.
So when they met, the grandfather and grandson immediately embraced and burst into tears.
Startled by the crying, Li Mingfan's wife and Le Shi ran out, asking, "What happened? What happened?" Li Mingfan's wife was even holding a spatula in her hand.
But when Li Mingfan's wife saw Le Huai, there was no joy on her face at all.
If Yue Huai is here, then his younger brother and his wife can't be far behind.
Leshan was genuinely happy: "Lehuai? Where did you all go? Where are your second uncle and aunt?"
These words reminded Aunt Li, and the old lady quickly raised her head, her eyes blurry with tears, looking up at her son-in-law with an indescribable expectation:
"Dashan, where is Rong'er?"
She looked around, but there was nothing there.
The youngest son and his wife didn't come with him?
"I'm still cooking, I'm going inside first." Li Mingfan's wife made no attempt to hide her displeasure, turned around, grabbed the spatula, and went inside.
They didn't even greet Chi Dashan and the others.
Leshan, no longer a child, scratched his head awkwardly and greeted Chi Dashan, "Uncle, my mother was just afraid the food would burn..."
"It's alright, it's alright."
Chi Dashan pretended not to be embarrassed.
Oh my!
He knew that his sister-in-law would be unhappy if he sent Le Huai back.
That's why only Le Huai came back. If Li Mingrong and his wife had come along, my sister-in-law would probably have complained about them too.
"Mother, let's go inside and talk."
Li Mingfan knew it was time for him to speak.
Looking around, Aunt Li seemed to understand something, so she let her eldest son help her up and into the courtyard.
Chi Dashan quickly drove the donkey cart inside and then moved all the things inside.
"Leshan, play with Xiaosuotou for a while." Chi Dashan handed his son to his nephew and then carried the things he had brought to the kitchen.
Throughout the process, Li Mingfan's wife remained silent, her face expressionless.
This put Chi Dashan in an awkward position.
only……
"Sister-in-law, I need to tell you about the situation. That Li Mingrong couple..."
“Dashan,” Li Mingfan’s wife interrupted him, her expression rather cold, “you don’t need to say these things. I’m waiting for the person who should be saying them to me.”
Chi Dashan:......
"Oh, oh oh."
What should this guy say?
well.
He really wouldn't have wanted to come if it weren't absolutely necessary.
Perhaps realizing she had been too cold, Li Mingfan's wife, after finishing cooking, took off her apron and asked, "How's your little sister doing? And how's Xingxing doing over there?"
She tried to tell herself: This has nothing to do with her sister-in-law's family; it's all Li Mingfan's fault.
But the thought of having to support Lehuai in the future made her feel suffocated.
I couldn't help but feel angry and blamed my sister-in-law's family for bringing Le Huai here.
However, her sister-in-law's family is not what it used to be, and besides, she has always had a good relationship with her sister-in-law, and she didn't want that bastard to ruin their relationship, so she started to exchange a few pleasantries.
"Yes, with Uncle Li around, Xingxing's mother's health is getting better and better. She's over seven months pregnant now, and she eats and sleeps well every day. When she's in good spirits, she goes out for a stroll so she won't be too weak when she gives birth... Xingxing is doing well. She wrote a letter a while ago and even did a small favor, earning a reward of two taels of silver."
The reward money has all been sent back, which has made his mother so happy... This child, following Chenyi, should have a bright future, and my younger sister and I no longer need to worry about him.”
But I can't help but worry about the safety of the stars.
But for boys, it's unavoidable.
Most importantly, this is the path that Xingxing herself wants to take, and her parents cannot stop her.
"Really? Oh my, I've always thought Xingxing was a smart kid, loyal and righteous. He's got real talent for the military. And you even have Chenyi as your benefactor..."
Li Mingfan's wife was genuinely happy for Xingxing.
Such a young child actually performed a meritorious service?
Chi Dashan laughed along, "Yeah, Xingxing... we can't control her. By the way, sister-in-law, why isn't Leshan home?"
"Oh, Leshan went to work at the charcoal factory with Dad. Because Leshan learns quickly, he is now highly regarded by Boss Liu. Leshan helps with many of the tasks at the charcoal factory. Dad continues to teach and supervise."
When talking about her son, Li Mingfan's wife also looked very proud.
At least I have a way to make a living now.
All the men in the family are making money; if things continue like this, we'll be able to pay back the money we owe the Chi family next year.
Then next year, let Leshi work too. If the two brothers get married in two years, they won't be too short of money.
"That's great. I think Leshan is a capable and useful kid... How's Leshi's leg?"
"His leg is almost healed, but it's a sprained bone, so my mother and I both think we should let Le Shi rest a bit longer. Anyway, we don't need his wages now."
Chi Dashan was also happy.
My father-in-law's family is doing well, which saves my wife from worrying.
Old Man Li and Leshan didn't return for lunch; the two of them didn't come back until evening.
As for Li Mingrong, he simply worked odd jobs at the charcoal factory like any other ordinary person.
We rent a few acres of land, so we need a man to take care of it at home.
During the meal, Aunt Li was almost in tears and couldn't eat anything. She was practically pulling Chi Dashan and Li Mingfan aside and talking to them over and over again.
Li Mingfan's wife was throwing things around while tidying up the table, looking very unhappy.
