Even if Sun Jiaxue closed the door while cooking, the aroma of meat still wafted out through the crack in the door.
People who walked past Lao Li's house were so greedy that they could only drool.
But they are used to the smell.
Just smell it and it's like you've eaten it.
After all, the aroma of meat wafts out of Old Li’s house every now and then.
Regardless of whether Li Mingqing's family is in the village or not, Old Lady Li cooks meat at least once a week.
Li Xiaowei came over after smelling the scent.
It was Li Goudan who brought him here.
"Xiaowei, come in."
"Dad, Uncle Li won't beat me out, right?"
"It's no big deal to get beaten when you're young. I was beaten by him before, and I'm still alive and well now. Don't worry, go ahead."
Although it was an embarrassing thing, he said it very calmly.
I didn't feel embarrassed at all.
There are not many people in the village who are so shameless.
"Forget it, Dad. I'll go to the mountain to catch pheasants tomorrow."
"Tsk, what's wrong with you, kid? You're just going in to eat some meat. Your Uncle Li won't beat you out. Even if you get beaten, it's worth it to eat meat. Look how skinny you are. Hurry up and go in. If you can't eat meat, you can drink some broth."
Li Goudan was so anxious that he almost kicked him into the door.
Li Xiaowei said unhappily: "Dad, forget it."
"Hurry up and get in!"
At the critical moment, Liu Xiang came over with a backpack.
She said impatiently, "Li Goudan, what are you doing again?"
"It's none of your business. Go home and cook."
"Xiaowei, what are you doing here?"
Liu Xiang ignored him and asked the child instead.
"Dad said Uncle Li was eating meat at home and asked me to come in and get some food."
"Let's go home with mom."
Li Goudan stopped him and asked, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear me tell you to go back and cook?"
"What's wrong with you? How can you let your son beg for food?"
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. This isn't begging, just visiting. Look at how thin our son is. He's barely eaten meat all year. He's at a growing age, so this won't do."
Liu Xiang looked at Li Xiaowei's small arms and legs and sighed.
"It's all your fault. Look how thin our son is."
The two of them were talking quite loudly, so Old Man Li and Old Lady Li came out.
"Why are you three here?"
"I happened to be passing by, Auntie. I smelled meat cooking at Mingqing's house. Why didn't you call the two old men over to eat? Jiaxue, this daughter-in-law, is really not the right thing to do."
Liu Xiang took the opportunity to put eye drops in her eyes.
Old Lady Li said, "That's not the case."
"Aunt, you are bullied by your daughter-in-law because you are too easy to talk to."
"Xiaowei's mother, it's getting dark soon, so hurry up and take the kids home. Goudan, take your wife back."
"I came to see Ming Qing for something."
After eating and drinking his fill, Li Mingqing was stunned when he saw the person standing at the door.
It was the first time I saw Li Goudan and his family of three after two days back.
"I came out to digest the food."
"I came to see you about something, so I'll get straight to the point. My son wants to eat meat, and I want to come to your house to eat some."
Li Goudan spoke with confidence.
"What a coincidence, I'm done eating."
"You're kidding me. How could I not know your family's financial situation? How could you be so stingy? Aren't you afraid that the villagers will laugh at you if this gets out?"
"If this gets out, it'll be a joke, and it'll be you too. What kind of man are you if you can't even support your wife and children?"
These words hit Li Goudan hard.
What he said is indeed the truth. He does have some self-awareness.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have married into Old Wang's family.
Li Goudan said, "You're so cruel."
After he said that, he pulled Li Xiaowei away.
Liu Xiang followed closely behind, carrying the backpack and leaving.
After they left, Old Man Li sighed and said, "Oh, what will happen to this family of three? If Goudan's father knew about this, he'd be freaked out in his grave."
"You can tell a person's future at the age of three, and his character at the age of seven. Li Goudan, who is in his thirties, has already been shaped. This is how his life will be."
Old Lady Li added.
But Li Xiaowei seems to be a good kid.
Although Li Goudan is not a good person, his two sons Wang Yifan and Li Xiaowei are sensible.
I hope it won’t grow crooked in the future.
Li Mingqing said, "I have to go to the county town tomorrow. If I stay in the village any longer, all kinds of monsters and ghosts will come to join in the fun."
"What time do you leave tomorrow?"
"Wake up and talk."
"The three children should stay in the village and return to the county town when school starts."
"Okay, Xiaohong and the others can stay in the village if they want."
Erniu and Xiangdong were distributing pocket money to Xiangnan and others in the old house.
Li Mingqing was dividing the money when he entered the room.
He didn't expect to see this scene. He just wanted to ask Niu Niu whether she wanted to stay in the village or return to the county town.
But judging by how loving they seem, they should be spending their summer vacation in the village.
Erniu and Xiangdong gave each person one dollar.
That’s equivalent to two dollars per person.
The big girl said, "I don't want it."
As the eldest sister, how could she take the pocket money given by her younger siblings?
"Big sister, take it quickly. Although it's not much, it can buy a lot of things. My brother and I's money was confiscated by mother. She said to save it for us, otherwise she would definitely give you more. There's a big market tomorrow, let's go together and buy some rice cakes."
Xiaohong, Xiaozhe and Siniu happily accepted it.
I have some pocket money to buy popsicles.
Li Mingqing turned around and walked out without entering the house.
Sun Jiaxue, who had come over, saw him come out and asked, "How's it going? Are you going back to the county town with us?"
"Probably not. Erniu and Xiangdong are dividing their pocket money."
"Pocket money?"
"The money we made from our last business venture was given to my eldest and second brothers to save. The remaining balance is in their hands. The children are planning to go to the market tomorrow."
