Lu Xiaotang was making the bed in his room. Seeing his wife coming in with a smile, he asked, "Did those two stupid guys make you happy again?"
Xu Ning pretended to be serious and said, "Who are you calling a fool? My son is very smart."
Lu Xiaotang smiled at her and continued to make the bed.
A family of five was about to go out with their belongings when they met Li Yong and Zhang Meifeng who were riding bicycles over.
Lu Xiaotang and Xu Ning hurried forward to greet them, "Brother Li, sister-in-law, you guys got off work so early?"
Zhang Meifeng smiled and said, "We knew you were coming today, so we asked for some time off. I've already bought some food, and we'll have dinner at my house tonight."
Xu Ning held Zhang Meifeng's hand and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law! Even if you don't invite us today, our whole family is ready to shamelessly go to your house for a meal."
Then he said to Niupitang, "This is your Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang, hurry up and call them."
The three of them shouted, "Hello Uncle Li, Hello Aunt Zhang, we are Ah Niu, Ah Pi, and Ah Tang."
Li Yong and Zhang Meifeng were so overwhelmed by the cuteness of the three kids when they saw them and listened to their self-introductions in Cantonese.
Xu Ning felt ashamed when he heard the three of them talking. After only a few days, he started to roll his tongue and imitate others to speak Cantonese.
Pipi’s learning was about 80% similar, but Niu Niu and Tangtang’s learning was not very good. They thought they spoke very well and were quite proud of it, showing off all the time.
Li Yong picked them up with a smile, put them on the bicycle, and said to Lu Xiaotang and Xu Ning: "Xiaotang, Xiaoning, let's go home.
Your sister-in-law knew you were coming today, so she went to the village to buy seafood in the afternoon, and she plans to show off her cooking skills in the evening. ”
When Niupitang heard that there would be something delicious in the evening, his eyes lit up, and Niu Niu and Pipi even slurped their saliva.
Xu Ning smiled and said, "We are in for a treat tonight, but it's too much trouble for sister-in-law."
Zhang Meifeng smiled and glared at her and said, "Why are you still saying such polite words to each other? Let's go home."
Tangtang sat on the big bar in front of Zhang Meifeng's bicycle, talking with Niu Niu Pipi who was sitting on Li Yong's bicycle with a smile on her face.
"Brother Niu, Brother Apei, it's so fun here."
Niu Niu immediately replied: "Tangtang, no no, I called you the wrong name, Tangtang, it's fun here."
Pippi corrected them, "No, no, it should be said like this..."
Li Yong was surprised to hear his standard Cantonese pronunciation and asked, "Pipi, how come you can speak Cantonese?"
Pipi said seriously: "Uncle Li, please call me Api."
Then he said proudly: "What's so difficult about this? I can understand it as soon as I hear it."
Li Yong looked at Lu Xiaotang.
Lu Xiaotang nodded slightly and didn't say anything in front of the child. If he praised him in person, the boy would be even more proud.
As they walked along the streets of An County, Xu Ning sighed, "It's been just over a year since I last came to An County, and the changes are really huge."
The last time she came, she just felt that there were more people, but nothing else was different from before.
This time the feeling was obviously different, there were construction workers everywhere demolishing houses.
The streets are full of people doing all kinds of business, some selling vegetables, some selling seafood, and some selling all kinds of snacks.
Li Yong said happily: "Yes, I heard that they are going to build a building. It is the businessmen from Hong Kong City who are coming to invest."
Lu Xiaotang and Xu Ning thought of something at the same time. The couple looked at each other and then immediately looked away.
Xu Ning's heart was pounding. How could she forget that the first real estate company was established in Shenzhen in the early 1980s.
The next forty years will be a glorious time for the real estate market. How can she not seize this opportunity?
Lu Xiaotang walked in front and chatted with Li Yong, "I heard from a buddy of mine some time ago that the higher-ups sent people here to support the construction, and it seems the effect is very significant!"
"Yeah, I never thought that a small fishing village in Shenzhen would develop to where it is today."
He looked around and saw that there were no people around, so he whispered, "Xiaotang, thanks to your reminder, otherwise your sister-in-law and I would never have thought of buying a house."
Lu Xiaotang smiled and patted his shoulder. "Brother Li, I just heard someone mention it casually at the time. I don't know if it's true or not, and I don't dare to say more."
Li Yong said gratefully: "Xiaotang, I know you took a risk when you said that. I will remember your kindness."
Lu Xiaotang glared at him and said disapprovingly: "Look at what you are saying? We are like brothers. Don't you think of me when you have good things?"
Li Yong laughed loudly and said, "Yes, yes, I was mistaken."
Niupitang was so frightened by his loud laughter that he almost rolled off the car.
Zhang Meifeng hurriedly supported Tangtang and scolded with a smile: "Do you look like an elder? If you scare us Niushitang, I will never let you go."
Li Yong smiled and said, "Aniu, Api, Atang, are you scared?"
Pipi said nonchalantly, "It's okay, Uncle Li, we men should smile like this, we are not old women who have to purse our lips when we speak."
Zhang Meifeng and Xu Ning looked at him at the same time, and Pipi then remembered that there were two old women next to him.
He was so scared that he shrank his neck and turned his face away, not daring to look at his mother and Aunt Zhang.
