Li Shaoyang has great confidence in his nephew because he believes in Ye Shuning's ability. "Xiao Ning has many skills. If Jingyu can learn a few tricks from his aunt, it will be enough for Jingyu to benefit for the rest of his life.
While in Nangang, Xiao Ning published comic books, designed clothes, became a renowned screenwriter, directed her own hit films, and even wrote and composed music. And that was just her hobby. She was also a prodigy in chemistry, and her published papers attracted the attention of leading international experts. Nangang University even invited her to teach there.
She had a keen eye for business, making money in everything she did. The garment factory here had grown into a multi-million-person operation in less than a year. This was difficult for even a man to achieve, let alone a woman. Xiao Ning was a woman who was no less capable than any man. It was a sure thing that Jing Yu was following his aunt.
Just wait and see, Xiao Ning and her children will be even more powerful in the future, and the third generation of our family will be secure."
Yang Jinping looked at her second son with a displeased expression, "Don't just talk about others. What about you? When are you going to get married? Your eldest brother and your younger brother already have children, so don't you want to have offspring?"
Li Shaoyang was talking happily when his mother's anger suddenly turned to him, and he immediately fell silent.
Yang Jinping glanced at her silent son and asked, "Why are you silent?"
Seeing his mother's relentless pursuit, Li Shaoyang said angrily, "Mom, just because my elder brother and Shaozhong already have children, our Li family has someone to carry on the legacy, so I don't have to worry. So what if I don't have any descendants? I can just let my nephews take care of me in my old age."
Besides, all those women are annoying to me and make me upset. If I just find one, I'll just be asking for trouble. I might as well be single."
Yang Jinping got angry when she saw her second son. "Listen to what he said. He gets upset when he sees a woman. So you get upset when you see Xiao Ning and me?"
Li Shaoyang quickly waved his hands and said, "Of course I'm not upset. You're my mother, how could I be upset with you? I'm not upset with Xiaoning either. Xiaoning is my savior. How can I be the same as other women? Besides, where else in the world can you find a woman like Xiaoning? Shaozhong must have done a great deed to marry Xiaoning. We all benefit from it."
Seeing his wife still wanting to talk about their son, Li Jianye quickly said, "Alright, the second son has his own plans, so don't worry about it. You can't really force him to get married, aren't you afraid of forcing him into a couple who are unhappy with each other? He might as well be single then."
Maybe his fate hasn't arrived yet. He might meet the girl he likes one day. Then he'll definitely get married even if you try to stop him. So let him make the decision on his own. Even if he stays single for the rest of his life, he still has his nephews, so he won't be left without someone to take care of him when he gets old.
Yang Jinping snorted, "It's his own loss that he never experiences the good of women. But second brother, you're annoyed by women, so you're not allowed to like men. In ancient times, there were those with homosexual tendencies who disliked women and only liked men. If I discover that you have this tendency, I will immediately arrange a marriage for you."
Li Shaoyang shuddered when he heard this and cried out, "Mom, please don't disgust me. How could I like men? I don't like women, but I don't like men either. Please don't say anything nonsense. If it gets out, it will be terrible."
Li Shaoting snickered at the sight of his second brother being abused. "That's right, Mom. How could a grown man like my second brother possibly like a man? Don't worry about it."
Li Jianye also saw that his wife was getting more and more outrageous and hurriedly said, "Shao Ting, which room is prepared for us? Take us there quickly. Let's wash up and then we'll go eat."
"Oh, come with me. I've arranged your room on the second floor. Shaozhong and I have prepared some things together."
With that, Li Shaoting led his parents upstairs.
Li Shaoyang didn't dare go near his mother anymore, fearing he'd be scolded again. He might as well go play with his little nephew.
Ye Shuning and Mrs. Liu prepared a sumptuous meal together for dinner. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the family has prepared a rich variety of New Year's goods, and the variety of vegetables is much richer than in the north.
Common vegetables in northern China during winter are radishes, potatoes, and Chinese cabbage. Seeing the various summer vegetables on the table, Yang Jinping exclaimed, "This is truly wonderful in the south. Even in winter, it's still as warm as spring, and you can still eat fresh vegetables. That's unimaginable in the north."
Ye Shuning said, "In fact, in the north, you can also use plastic greenhouses to grow vegetables, but the cost is much higher."
Sitting at the dinner table, Yang Jinping said, "For well-off families in the north, it's no big deal to eat expensive vegetables. The problem is, they're not available in the market right now. Only during the Lunar New Year do some fresh vegetables appear in the Kyoto market, but they're rare. Even though they're a bit more expensive, many people still buy them. After all, they don't eat them often."
Li Shaozhong said, "Vegetables can be grown here year-round, and the prices aren't high. The south not only has an abundance of fresh vegetables, but also a wide variety of fruits. Transportation is currently inconvenient, and many fruits are difficult to transport north. Mom, since you've made it this far, try some of the unique fruits of the south. The fruits here are naturally ripe and taste amazing."
There will be more street vendors tomorrow morning, let's go shopping together."
This was exactly what Yang Jinping wanted. "Okay, take us for a walk tomorrow. Your dad is here on a mission too, and he wants to see more of what's going on here."
Li Jianye also said: "Yes, I will go out with you tomorrow to take a look at the specific developments here. It would be even better if we can visit your factory."
Li Shaozhong said, "It's fine to go to the factory, but the workers are on holiday now and there's no production. You can just look at the factory and equipment."
Li Shaoyang didn't say anything. He didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that his mother would catch him and scold him again.
He took the bottle and poured wine for everyone. "Today our family is reunited, so we have to have a good drink. Let's celebrate Xiao Ning's factory business is booming, and celebrate our family's new baby."
Li Jianye looked at the fine wine in his son's hand. This was a rare opportunity, so he agreed, "We should definitely celebrate. Let's drink to our heart's content today."
Yang Jinping knew everyone was having a good time and didn't want to spoil the fun, so she let her husband have some wine. "Take it easy. You can take advantage of this opportunity to satisfy your cravings, but don't drink too much."
Li Jianye quickly assured him, "The younger generations are all here, how could I possibly drink too much? This year's opportunity is rare, our family is reunited, and our lives are thriving. I'm happy. Don't worry, I know my body, and I won't drink too much."
