"No need, we'll keep it for you after the renovation."
"Really, Dad, we don't need to. We should rent it out. It will make life easier for you and Mom. Besides, I don't want this house."
"Dad, don't overthink it. I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that I'll only be back for a few days each time, so there's no need to save a house for me."
Liu Jianguo sighed, "Okay, I understand." Actually, he was just getting old and wanted to leave a house for Pengfei so that he could come back more often in the future. After hearing his son's words, he knew that this was wishful thinking.
"Dad, don't overthink it. My workplace is in the south, which is too far from here. And I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but I don't have the ability to stay in the city. So even with Zhenye and the others, I'll still have to climb the ranks step by step. I don't even know how many chances I'll be able to return to the capital in the future. I'll be drifting around for most of the time. When you and Mom retire, you can bring my little sister to live with me."
Jiang Yan was satisfied with Pengfei's words. "Pengfei, your father and I know about it."
Early the next morning, a car from the service company arrived, loaded with cigarettes, alcohol, tea, candy, and other items needed for the wedding banquet, and took the family back to Liujiatun.
Han Zijing was lost in thought, thinking about what Pengfei had told her last night.
“Our country’s top leader is my uncle. The four people you met, Zhenye and the others, are my younger brothers.”
So that's what Pengfei's background was. I've really hit the jackpot.
Four hours later, the family arrived at Liujiatun.
Liu Yuqiang invited the whole family to dinner.
"Uncle, everything is ready at home, hurry back and have dinner."
Liu Maocai felt really uncomfortable along the way, thinking to himself that he was really getting old.
Han Zijing also came from a rural area, but she was shocked when she saw the buildings in Liujiatun.
After dinner, the family went home and cleaned everything up. Jiang Yan made up the beds so everyone could lie down and rest.
In the afternoon, Liu Jianguo went out to find Liu Yuqiang. The two made arrangements for the wedding banquet three days later. The logistics company's truck did not go back but stayed to help the Liu family.
After all, this is the eldest grandson's wedding, and many relatives want to share the good news.
Li Cuihua's family is from Liujiatun, and her nephews helped her, which saved her a lot of trouble.
However, Liu Jianguo and his son still had to go in person to announce the good news. Some of them were cousins, but Li Cuihua knew how to get along with people, so she visited all the relatives. Even if they couldn't come back in person for a big or small event, they would still give a gift. Therefore, Pengfei's wedding required forty tables.
To save herself the trouble, Li Cuihua hired an outside chef, essentially outsourcing all the work for the wedding banquet to them, which made things much easier for her.
The firecrackers alone took an hour to set off, and then Liu Maocai decided to have another meal that night.
The commotion lasted until nine o'clock in the evening.
Liu Pengfei put his arm around Han Zijing and it took him a while to calm down.
"Pengfei, your hometown is really great. It's much more united than our village."
“I haven’t been involved in other villages, but Liujiatun will definitely be united. Every year, Aunt Hongmei will give money to the elderly in the village, which means that the elderly in the village are being cared for by Aunt Hongmei. Moreover, every family will receive welfare during festivals.”
"Hehe, that's great, Auntie is so family-oriented."
“My aunt is very capable. All the big companies you know belong to her, as do the primary and middle schools, and the nursing homes.”
Han Zijing felt a pang of envy; this woman was truly a strong and capable one.
They stayed in Liujiatun for five days and saw Pengfei and his wife off.
Liu Jianguo had thought of having his parents stay for a while, but the elderly couple couldn't stay, and there was no one to take care of the children at home. So, the day after Pengfei left, Liu Jianguo sent the two elderly people back to the capital.
Only Jiang Yan and her youngest daughter remained at home. "Tingting, look how capable your eldest brother is! Your second brother won't be any less successful in the future, so Mom can finally relax." Liu Tingting was a little confused and didn't understand what her mother was saying. But being with her mother made her quite happy.
Jiang Yan looked at her shy daughter and sighed. Her two sisters-in-law had talked about her daughter's upbringing, and she could see that her daughter's behavior was not right. But a child is naturally shy, and she had tried many methods.
I don't know what else to do. I guess I'll have to send her to kindergarten. Let her interact with other children.
After Liu Maocai and his wife returned, Zhang Hongmei came over.
She gave the two elderly people diluted spring water to make them feel better.
Hu Aifen also came to see the couple.
"Cuihua, you've gotten rid of a big worry now. Pengfei is married, so you don't need to worry about the rest."
"How could I not worry? I'm just destined to worry. Hongmei, how is Ping'an's wife?"
"I've got my eye on one, but she's still quite young. I'm thinking of waiting until the New Year to make things clear."
"Let me take a look first?"
"Okay, I'll let you know once I've made the arrangements. Then I'll pick you up to take a look."
When Zhang Hongmei returned home, she saw her five grandsons running towards her and immediately smiled broadly.
"Mom, Aunt Wang Ying called this morning. She knows you're not here and said she'll come over for dinner tonight," Yang Lijun told her mother-in-law with a smile.
"Okay, I understand. You four shouldn't overwork yourselves, go out and have some fun."
All four shook their heads. Tang Feiyan said, "The people around here all know their husbands' identities, so they're all very cautious and careful, or they just flatter them. It's really uncomfortable. Going out shopping is too difficult because there are several bodyguards behind you. It's better to stay at home."
"Haha, I was like that too. I didn't want to go anywhere. In the end, Zhenye and the others went up the mountain, and that's when I went to teach at the school. I didn't want to go out either."
"It's alright, we'll talk to your great-grandfather, and we'll take the children to stay in the suburbs for a few days."
"Mom, that would be too much trouble for Zhenye and the others to travel back and forth like that."
"Let them stay at home. We'll go live away for half a month, and when we come back, you should be getting ready for school to start."
The four daughters-in-law looked at their mother-in-law in surprise. Could this really be allowed? But seeing how easily she spoke of it, they were all a little tempted.
Dinner hadn't started yet, and the five of them hadn't returned, but Wang Ying had arrived.
"Hongmei, I have good news for you. Sister Yu is pregnant!"
"Senior Yu?"
"Yes, it's been three months already. Song Tiesheng was overjoyed. He was the one who called to tell me. Sister Yu felt embarrassed and didn't even talk to me."
"Hehe, this is good news. Senior Yu is only 45 years old, so it's normal for her to be pregnant. Let's go see her tomorrow, and then our family will go out to stay for a few days."
