I haven't been back for a long time. Su Li and Yang Meiling have never tired of chatting. Daniu is still working in the furniture factory in the county, but he is also a workshop manager. He earns at least two or three thousand yuan a month, and he could get more bonuses. The furniture factory has good efficiency, good products, high quality, and the workers are all experienced masters with dozens of years of experience, so orders can be placed tomorrow.
Yang Meiling is also amazing. These two girls gave Da Niu a son and a daughter. Although Dabao and his children started school late, they were willing to learn. If they didn't understand something, they would ask Lai Fu. They were admitted to the Normal College in the provincial capital. They will definitely become teachers after graduation.
The whole family is working together towards the same goal, and their family life is now prosperous.
Yang Meiling is living a good life now, and she is grateful to Su Li in her heart, all thanks to her for helping her in the past. Not to mention her, isn't it the same for Hua'er's family and Cuifen's family?
Even the whole Shanghe Village is doing so well, all thanks to Su Li. Not to mention that they all have jobs, even if they didn't have a job, everyone invested money in the brick kiln factory in the first place, and those who make a profit can get a lot of money. It's also because of the good people of the Xie family.
After chatting for a while, Su Li looked at Li Dan and Tiedan who were accompanying them. Since they were all women here, she simply asked them to go back first. It was only a few steps away from home and it would not be a problem.
But both of them are unwilling.
"Mom, don't worry about us. You haven't seen the aunts and sisters for a long time. Have a good chat. My brother and I will play here for a while. We will go back together later."
Yang Meiling looked at the two children and understood them. "Don't worry, Dabao will come to pick me up later. You haven't been home for a long time, so we can talk for a while."
Li Dan and Tie Dan were both a little surprised: "Is he on vacation? Coming back at this time?"
"There is no room. Isn't that right? His grandmother has not been in good health recently. I'm afraid she won't live long. Although she wasn't kind to him when he was young, now that she is here, it's only right for him to come back and see her. It can be considered as a way of showing filial piety to his deceased father."
"Oh, oh!" Li Dan and Tie Dan probably felt the same way, so they just nodded and didn't talk about it in depth.
Su Li pulled Yang Meiling's hand and said, "Think positively. It's only right for Dabao to come back and visit. I just can't let go of the previous love. Now I'll just pretend I don't see the good things your family has done to me."
"Who says it's not true? I'm not magnanimous. I remember the sufferings I've endured. After all, children are children. I won't stop them from interacting with me if they want to. But I just feel uncomfortable. Maybe it's my fate that I have conflicts with my mother-in-law. Both mothers-in-law don't want to pay attention to me."
Yang Meiling said this, and after a while she smiled again and said, "You haven't been back for a long time. Let me tell you a funny story. Do you still remember Li Cuilan?"
Su Li hadn't heard this name for a long time and almost forgot it. She watched Yang Meiling and Hua'er winking at her.
"Ah, her, what's wrong?"
"Haha, she's back. She's been back for two months. She brought her three children with her in a car. She looked so fashionable and high-profile when she came back, which made the old village chief blush. But there were so many people who came to see her that he didn't get angry. She even gave everyone cigarettes and candies. Everyone thought she had become rich and thought that if she understood things, the old village chief would be relieved. Who would have thought that she was working as a servant? Two of the three children were from the same boss, and the first one was Xu Zhiqing's."
Su Li was stunned for a moment: "How is it possible? When Uncle Waishan sent her away, didn't he send her to get married? Why is she being someone else's mistress again?"
Hua'er was a quiet person, and usually didn't gossip about other people. But Li Cuilan was thick-skinned and black-hearted. This time, she made Li Waishan sick with anger. Everyone looked down on her and was annoyed that she made Li Waishan sick.
"Humph, I heard that it was only after he got out that he realized that Xu Zhiqing was a pauper. It's not like his family was full of intellectuals and rich people as he said. In fact, his father was just a boiler operator, but he insisted that he was a minister. Not long after they got married, Li Cuilan had an affair with someone else, who was the uncle of one of Xu Zhiqing's leaders. Oh, don't mention it. The old village chief was almost mad to death when he found out. But she came back so high-profile, as if she had become rich. Her brothers rarely go out now, and the affairs of the brick kiln factory are all managed by the village chief."
"Then how do you know?"
"How else can I know? Isn't it that the driver who sent her here is a relative of the family in Wangzhuang in front? He let it slip when they were drinking, and the news spread quickly. Our village has developed well, so there must be people who are jealous. Look, our village is not only advanced and famous now, but people outside say bad things about it. I am embarrassed to go back to my mother's house."
Su Li frowned and asked, "How is Uncle Waishan now?"
"There's nothing to do now. It's a good thing you're back. You can go visit him tomorrow."
"Yeah, that's what I thought. I'll go see Uncle Waishan tomorrow morning. I'll go see my mother's family and then go back to the provincial capital. After all, Zhengchuan's unit is busy, so I won't be here for long."
"That's right."
The few of them chatted for a while, and Su Li saw that it was almost time. Tiedan, Lidan and Dabao were chatting happily over there, so Su Li was not in a hurry. As these children grow up, they will have fewer opportunities to meet each other. When they enter society in the future, new friends will enter their lives, but there will never be such a pure time again.
After a while, Xie Zhengchuan came to the garment factory holding a coat and a flashlight. Seeing Su Li chatting with a group of women and his two sons talking to their friends, he stayed outside without urging them.
It was only when Su Li saw him standing outside that she suggested going back first, otherwise, who knows how long he would have to stand outside.
The four of them strolled along the path in the village. The night breeze was slightly cool. Xie Zhengchuan put his coat on Su Li's shoulders and put his arm around her. Su Li felt a little cold when she first came out of the garment factory. Now, not only was her body warm, but her heart was also warm.
Li Dan and Tie Dan looked at the two people in front of them who were loving each other and felt happy. Their parents had so many children, but they never quarreled or even argued. They were good role models. Naturally, they also hoped that they could live a simple life like their parents in the future. How wonderful it would be.
After washing up, Su Li lay in the bed filled with sunlight, sighing in her heart.
"It's still warmer and more comfortable to sleep on the old kang."
"Then why don't you stay at home for a few more days?" Xie Zhengchuan stretched out his hands and held her in his arms, saying this.
"How can I have the time? Don't even mention me. I'm afraid your company will call you tomorrow and ask you to go back."
Xie Zhengchuan closed his eyes and said nothing, his hands patting Su Li's waist from time to time.
"Let's go see Uncle Waishan first tomorrow, then go to Sujiaba, and then go back to the provincial capital after lunch in the afternoon!"
"Okay! I'll listen to you."
"What do you mean by listen to me? My parents don't even know that we're leaving tomorrow. You can go and tell them later."
"Okay, I'll go talk to you, go to sleep!"
After a tiring day, Su Li also felt sleepy, and the two of them quickly fell asleep.
The next morning,
Su Li prepared some gifts from the space and took out a thousand yuan to give to Li Waishan. Xie Zhengchuan looked at her without saying anything.
Li Dan saw Su Li carrying several gift bags from the main room and asked, "Mom, why haven't I seen these before? Did we bring them here?"
Su Li's eyes twitched, but before she could say anything, Xie Zhengchuan said, "I went to the county town to buy it before dark yesterday. I'll go see your grandfather in the mountains later, so it's a good time to take it with me."
Li Dan looked at him doubtfully, lowered his head and said nothing more.
