In the evening, Li Erlang brought four jars of Daqu home.
I took two jars of wine and went to the next door, where I was invited by Mr. Li to stay and have dinner with the clan leader.
At night, Li Erlang returned to his room. Lin poured him a glass of water and said, "My dear, I'm not feeling well enough to travel far right now. Tomorrow you and Yan'er should go to my eldest brother's house! I've prepared the festival gifts!"
Li Erlang nodded: "Don't worry about this matter, Yan'er and I will go there tomorrow!"
Seeing that her husband did not refuse, Lin felt relieved.
On the second day, Li Yan carried the snacks and cloths prepared by Lin, and Li Erlang carried the Daqu he brought back yesterday, and the father and daughter went to Linjia Village.
Li Yan's uncle Lin An is a scholar and a rather old-fashioned person. He strongly opposed his younger brother's decision to give up literature and go into business, which is why Lin Feng has been unwilling and unable to go home for many years.
It takes half a day to walk from Linjia Village to Lijia Village. The two did not arrive at the gate of Lin's house until noon. Li Yan looked at the blue brick and tile house in front of her. The whole courtyard was spacious and tidy, and it was full of various dried vegetables drying in the sun. She knew at a glance that there was a capable woman in the family.
Aunt Sun, who was busy in the courtyard, saw the father and daughter at the door and immediately came forward to greet them: "Come in, Yan'er, why isn't your mother with you?"
He turned around and urged his son behind him: "Yan'er, go to the private school and call your father back."
Li Erlang: "Wan'er is pregnant now, and the mountain road is difficult to travel, so I let her stay at home. I hope my sister-in-law will not mind!"
When Sun heard what Li Erlang said, she was happy for Lin Wan and scolded her, "Wanniang is the same. She didn't even send a message home when she was pregnant." She knew that Lin Wan had been having difficulty having children in recent years, and now that she was pregnant with great difficulty, it was impossible for her to be too cautious.
At this time, cousin Lin Qing brought Li Yan a bowl of sugar water, and four-year-old cousin Lin Xia followed behind her sister, tilting her head and looking at Li Yan.
Li Yan smiled at her, and the little girl shyly hid behind her sister.
Li Erlang put the things on the table: "Bring some cakes for the children, sister-in-law, please don't be disgusted!"
Sun's face was full of smiles: "No, please sit down first, I will cook for you."
It’s not busy, we’ll just sit for a while and then go back.
At this time, a male voice sounded: "How can you come to my house and leave without eating?"
When Mrs. Sun saw her husband come back, she ran into the kitchen and started to get busy.
Li Yan stood up and greeted her uncle. Lin An nodded and sat down at the table. "I heard from Yan'er that Wan'er is pregnant? Why didn't you tell the family?"
Li Erlang explained, "It just so happened that she was still young at the time, and she wanted to wait until she was stable before telling Big Brother."
"You should have told me earlier. We are all family. I could have asked her sister-in-law to go over and take a look."
After hearing what Li Erlang said, Lin An's frown finally relaxed.
Let’s not talk about his disobedient younger brother. He would be really disappointed if his younger sister, who he had watched grow up, didn’t have him as her big brother in her heart.
The few of them talked again, and Sun brought the food over: "I made a few simple dishes, Yan'er, you guys can eat them!"
The large blue-rimmed bowl on the table was filled to the brim, and Mrs. Sun kept inviting the two to eat.
After dinner, the father and daughter took a short rest. Li Erlang asked to leave, and Sun hurriedly took out a few bags of things for the father and daughter to take back.
They were all dried vegetables and pickles made by the Sun family. Although they were not worth much, they made Li Yan feel the hospitality of her aunt's family.
