After dinner.
Niu Niu took out the gold bracelet that Xiangdong and a few others had bought together.
"Grandma, this was bought by my brothers and sisters and I together," she said, and then put the gold bracelet on Old Lady Li's hand.
Old Mrs. Li was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
I was happy in my heart, but I still said: "It's not easy for you to spend this money outside. You have to spend money even to drink water when you are out. It's really a waste."
"Old lady, you wear what your grandchildren bought for you. What filial children you are."
Old man Li felt warm in his heart.
Yang Daya said sourly, "Xiangnan, Si Niu, you two are quite thoughtful."
Si Niu whispered, "Mom, my brother and I bought some for you too. Let's talk about it when we get back."
She immediately burst into laughter and couldn't help asking, "What good stuff is it? Is it also a big piece of gold?"
"Yes, gold earrings."
When the children came back, they bought gold jewelry for their parents.
In the past six months in the capital, in addition to studying, they also did some odd jobs to earn money, especially Xiangdong and Erniu, who made a lot of money by running a clothing store together.
Xiangnan also made a lot of money by sending his articles to newspapers.
Big Girl and Small Girl set up a stall at school. Although the stall is small, they can make money.
"Grandma, let's go back to the village tomorrow."
"I'll go back with you so that we can clean up our hometown. I haven't been back for more than a month. There's been plenty of rain this season, so a lot of grass must be growing in the yard," said Old Lady Li.
Li Mingyuan said, "Mom, Lizhu and I went back to the village last week and we have finished weeding the yard. You don't have to go back."
"Yes, mother, the store cannot be left empty."
"Your father is here, Chun'er and Miss Xiao Yaliang are here too, so there's nothing for me to do. I haven't been back to the village for a long time, and I want to go back and take a look."
She was still thinking about the pickled dumplings at home.
Li Mingli said: "If that's the case, let's go back together tomorrow to take a look."
"I think it's okay. It's Sunday," Li Mingfang agreed.
Early the next morning.
The entire Li family returned to the village.
The villagers were sitting in the shade in groups of three or four to enjoy the cool air.
I was extremely envious when I saw their whole family coming back, especially Old Man Li and Old Lady Li.
Not only does he have many children and grandchildren, but he also looks younger and younger, and is very fashionable.
"Old Li, you really are getting younger and younger."
"Look at the old woman's hands, they are shiny and tender, unlike ours, which are so rough that they scratch the clothes and even tear them."
"When can I live a good life like this?"
"If that day ever comes, I will definitely buy a loud speaker and announce it to every village."
"But why don't we see Ming and Qing?"
"Yeah, I didn't see it. I heard Ming Qing is doing big business in the capital and may not have time to return to the village. He has important things to do."
Xiaohong and Xiaozhe looked at each other, then said to Niuniu:
"Sister, our dad is really popular."
"Ever since I was little, I've heard my father praised by fellow villagers. I have to work hard to reach a higher level."
Niuniu smiled and said, "You two are already very good, take your time."
"Sister, we are going to build an atomic bomb."
"It's good to have a goal. I believe in you," she encouraged.
The two brothers have amazing grades in science and got full marks in the exam. As long as they perform normally, there will be no problem at all.
The three siblings were soon surrounded by the villagers and asked questions.
Their words were full of gratitude towards Li Mingqing, and they seemed particularly kind.
Behind the crowd, Xu Yaozu was sitting at the door with a dogtail grass in his mouth and his legs crossed, looking Niu Niu up and down through the crowd.
Xu Dagou, who was standing next to him, was extremely worried when he saw how worried he was.
This son is simply lawless. He even dares to have any thoughts about Li Mingqing's daughter.
It seems he forgot about being beaten before.
"Yaozu, don't take what your grandma told you before seriously. The Li family is not something we can climb up to. Put away your little tricks."
Xu Yaozu rolled his eyes:
"Tsk, you'll be incompetent for the rest of your life. I'm young and have the opportunity to strive for success. If I become Li Mingqing's son-in-law, I won't have to worry about food and clothing."
"For your own good, listen to my advice and don't dream like a fool."
Xu Dagou was really afraid that this unfilial son would get into trouble. If he was taken to the police station, his life would be ruined.
"Bah! You don't have to mind my business."
Old Mrs. Xu was old, deaf and blind, and she could vaguely hear the voices but couldn't make out what was said. She really was unable to do anything but wanted to.
Xu Yaozu cursed, "You old fool, you don't have any money at all, damn it."
Niu Niu felt her gaze and looked over to see the sloppy Xu Yaozu.
She thought to herself, don't do anything weird.
Xiangdong and Xiangnan also saw it. The two brothers originally wanted to go to Xu Yaozu and talk to him, but Xu Yaozu left quickly as soon as he saw them.
The eldest girl went over and pulled Niuniu aside, saying, "Little sister, you have to be careful of that kid from the Xu family in the village these days."
"Don't worry, big sister. The silver needles in my hand are not vegetarian."
Erniu smiled as she watched her take out the silver needle from her messenger bag: "Don't look at me as a weak and frail girl, I'm actually quite good at beating people up."
"But you can't stop others from secretly harming you, so you must be on guard against them."
The big girl said earnestly.
——
Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue, who were far away in the capital, were having dinner in a restaurant.
"I don't know when Niu Niu, Xiaozhe and Xiaohong will come back. I miss the children so much when they leave suddenly," Sun Jiaxue said worriedly.
"Wife, it would be so nice to live alone without the children," Li Mingqing joked.
"An old married couple still says this."
