Sometimes when I see a lot of people eating, I will even help serve the dishes.
But he was stopped by Old Man Li.
"Dad, I hope there won't be such a big scene every time I come back."
"It's only once a year. It will fade after two years."
"It won't take two years, everything will be back to normal tomorrow," Li Mingqing said with a smile.
Old man Li smiled and said, "You're right. Things smell good from afar, but they stink up close. Everything looks good when you first get back, but things change after a while. But you went back to the capital right after the New Year, and they haven't gotten used to it yet. If you make more money next year, I'll have to wait for you to come back and see how things are."
“I guess several nearby villages will also start growing vegetables next year.”
"Don't even mention next year. We've already planted some this year. It's not a big scale though. I grow some vegetables and sell them in the city. It's better than doing nothing anyway."
"As long as I can make money, that's fine," said Li Mingqing.
…
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Mingqing and his family returned to the county town.
I went home to pack up a bit and then returned to the capital.
As soon as I arrived at the community, I ran into Ding Yi head-on. He looked a lot more relaxed.
"Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year. When did you come back? When I came back, Ding Shao said you hadn't set a time to come back yet."
"I came back yesterday afternoon, just in time for New Year's Eve."
Ding Yi looked at Xiao Hong and Xiao Zhe and said, "It should be said that these two brothers are good candidates for the army."
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "They want to be scientists."
"Scientists, what kind of scientists?"
Xiaozhe said, "Nuclear weapons engineering. I'm quite interested in this, and I believe I can become an expert in this field."
"You have great ambitions. I am relieved that you are the future of our country."
Ding Yi encouraged.
He added, "Commander Xu mentioned you to me a few days ago. I didn't expect that I actually knew you."
"It's a small world indeed. His son Xu Feiyue is a teacher at Peking University and Tsinghua University. I knew Xu Feiyue personally, and later I met Commander Xu when I went to see a doctor at Xu's house."
"At first I thought it was someone with the same name, but I didn't expect it was actually you."
"When will you return to the capital?"
Ding Yi said: "It must be after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Li Mingqing couldn't believe it: "So long vacation?"
"I used up all my vacation time from last year on these few days. I finally got to come back, so I decided to stay a few more days. The most important thing is that my nephew is getting married on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and I have to attend the wedding. I might have to rely on my two eldest nephews and their parents in the future, so I definitely can't miss it."
He said jokingly.
I don't plan to get married at my age.
Since you are not married, it is even more impossible to have children, unless you adopt a godson.
Ding Yi thought about it and then an idea flashed in his mind: "Ming Qing, considering that I am alone, I will adopt Xiao Hong and Xiao Zhe as my godsons."
Li Mingqing leaned back and asked, "Seriously?"
"Yes, let the two children burn some paper at my grave during the Qingming Festival a hundred years from now," he said solemnly.
