To everyone's surprise, Ali clenched her fist and said very seriously, "Mom, don't worry, I will work hard to help Grandpa hold his big, fat grandson soon!"
Li's mother was amused by Ali's appearance. She put her hands on Ali's shoulders and jokingly said, "You can't do this by yourself, Ali."
Li Junxian chuckled softly. Ah Li, being held by Li's mother, belatedly realized that Ah Li couldn't give birth to a baby on her own, so she slowly withdrew her hand.
Mr. Li smiled and said, "He's an honest child."
By the time they returned to the capital, it was already dark.
When Ah Li returned to the Li family compound with Li Junxian, his parents, and others.
Grandpa Li had been waiting for a long time, and only then did Ah Li realize that Li Junxian's family background was not ordinary.
A question slowly rose in Ah Li's mind: when he and the original owner were wronged by the old bachelor, why didn't his family come forward to clarify the situation?
Ahri was completely baffled, but her expression remained unchanged.
Grandpa Li was very pleased with Ali and even prepared a sumptuous dinner.
Later that night, Ah Li was taken to Li Junxian's room.
Li Junxian also brought in Ah Li's luggage, and even prepared a bath for her in the room.
When Ahri saw that the bathroom in the room had a bathtub, her doubts grew even stronger.
At this point, being able to use a bathtub isn't something that can be achieved simply by having money.
Li Junxian thought Ah Li had never seen it before, so he went in and told Ah Li how to use it.
Ah Li nodded and said, "I understand, Brother Li."
Upon hearing the address "Brother Li," Li Junxian walked up to Ah Li and whispered, "Ah Li, we need to change how we address each other now."
"Then what should we change?"
Ah Li looked at Li Junxian with a confused expression.
Li Junxian pinched the tip of her nose and said, "My family calls me Junxian, and they also call me A-Xian."
"Then I'll call you A-Xian."
Seeing Ah Li's obedient appearance, Li Junxian could no longer resist and reached out to hug her, saying, "Then I'll be next door. Call me if you need anything."
Aren't you going to live with me?
Ah Li looked at Li Junxian with great confusion.
Li Junxian looked down at Ah Li's bewildered expression, and the little flame that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly flared up.
He lowered his head and kissed Ah Li's lips; Ah Li could feel Li Junxian's excitement.
After kissing for a long time, Li Junxian leaned against Ah Li and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Not now, Ah Li, I want to wait until we get our marriage certificate together."
“But, Ah Xian, we’ve already held a wedding banquet, and you’ve obtained your marriage certificate. All we need to do is take photos together and get our marriage certificate.”
Ahri tugged at the hem of his sleeve, staring intently at him.
When their eyes met, Li Junxian hurriedly looked away, his legs trembling as he tried to walk away.
But Ahri hugged the person tightly, saying, "Don't go."
It's been more than half a year since they last saw each other. Ah Li misses him, and he misses her too, doesn't he?
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Li's mother said from outside the door, "Junxian, your grandfather wants you to come over for a moment."
Li Junxian took a deep breath, patted Ali on the back, and said, "Then I'll go to Grandpa's. You go wash up first."
Ah Li then released Li Junxian, lowering her head somewhat embarrassedly.
After Li Junxian left, Li's mother came in.
She saw the bathwater already prepared in the bathroom and knew that Li Junxian must have helped to prepare it.
Li's mother said to Ali, "It's alright, Ali, go wash up. Call me if you need anything."
Ahri then took her clothes and went into the bathroom.
Soon, Ali finished washing up. When she came out, Li's mother even wanted to help Ali dry her hair.
Ahri quickly refused, saying, "Mom, I can do it myself."
"Okay, then you wipe it yourself, I'll go help you pack your luggage."
"Mom, I can tidy it up myself later."
Ali didn't bring many clothes from Qingshan Village; they were all clothes that Ali was used to wearing.
However, when Li's mother saw that some of the clothes inside were washed until they were white and some were patched, her expression was somewhat complicated.
However, she didn't say or ask any questions. Instead, she opened the wardrobe in the room and put the clothes inside.
After drying her hair, Ahri stood there somewhat awkwardly.
Li's mother smiled and said, "Later, let Junxian take you out for a stroll and buy some things."
Ahri nodded and mumbled, "Okay."
When packing her luggage, Ahri had some things she didn't want to bring.
Because of frequent labor, some of the clothes are also very worn out.
The female educated youth at the settlement said, "You must pack your things properly and keep them clean. Otherwise, if another batch of educated youth comes, we'll waste time packing them up."
Ahri then brought all the clothes, but they still didn't fill a snakeskin bag.
The night before the banquet, Li Junxian took his parents to stay at the town's guesthouse instead of staying in the village.
Li Junxian originally wanted to help Ah Li pack her things, but men and women lived separately in the educated youth settlement.
Ali lived with several female educated youths, so it wasn't appropriate for Li Junxian, a grown man, to go in.
Therefore, Ahri packs all her own luggage.
When Li Junxian came over the next day, he put it in the car.
Ahri had nothing to give away, and no one wanted Ahri's things.
After Li's mother helped Ali pack her clothes, she chatted with Ali for a while longer.
Seeing that Li's mother yawned again and looked very sleepy, Ali said, "Mom, you're sleepy, you can go to sleep first."
