Chapter 190: The taste of home

Views:

"It's just a joke. You are a busy man now. How can I invite you? I can't even afford to invite you." Li Jianping felt that his sister seemed to have lost a lot of weight after not seeing her for more than a year. Of course, she was not fat before, and her face was also dull. With fatigue, it seems that the work is quite hard.

"It's a rare trip to come back and have a good rest for a few days. You don't have to do anything at home. Just treat it as a vacation."

"Brother really cares about people." It was rare for Li Wei to say something coquettish in front of Li Jianping. But Li Jianping patted her on the head and said, "I'm just a sister like you. If I don't feel sorry for you, who can I feel sorry for?"

The brother and sister were talking when they suddenly heard someone outside shouting: "Li Jianping, come out!"

Listening carefully, it was Yang Man's voice, and Li Wei pushed Li Jianping: "My sister-in-law is here, why don't you go and take a look."

As Li Wei said this, he went out with Li Jianping. Yang Man was getting out of the pickup truck and was busy moving the goods down the truck.

Li Jianping rushed up to help, but Yang Man turned around and saw Li Wei hurriedly stepped forward to greet her with a smile: "Wei Wei is back, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Li Wei hurriedly agreed: "Yes, I have to come back to celebrate the good life of you and my eldest brother."

Yang Man praised her again and again: "Wei Wei is getting more and more beautiful. Look at her thin arms and legs. She has a really good figure."

Li Wei said openly: "I also envy Sister Yang for her good skin."

Yang Man added: "Hey, you don't know, you are almost a celebrity around us, and I can help you promote the program you host. Even my mother has become your most loyal audience. She gets up early every day to open the program." The TV was waiting for you to come out. When you didn't show up for a while, my mother got anxious and asked me to ask your brother if something happened to you."

Yang Man was not exaggerating at all, but Li Wei felt that it was the happiest thing to be liked by the audience.

Li Jianping helped move the things into the house, and Li Wei poured Yang Man a cup of tea. Yang Man discussed things with Li Jianping again. Li Wei saw her elder brother looking at Yang Man with tender eyes. She knew that her elder brother I finally met the person I had been waiting for. Li Wei thinks Yang Man is a straightforward person, so his impression of her is not bad.

Li Wei heard the roar of the motorcycle and knew that his parents were back. Sure enough, Li Minghua and his wife brought home large and small bags of things. Li Wei went over to say hello. The couple were stunned for a moment when they saw Li Wei. But I haven't seen my daughter for a long time, so the reunion is undoubtedly full of joy.

"Why did you kid come back without saying a word? I always thought you wouldn't come back until the beginning of next month." Liu Chunzhi looked at her daughter with great joy.

"Well, I came back because I missed home. Mom won't dislike me."

Liu Chunzhi said: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yang Man came up to say hello to Liu Chunzhi and Li Minghua. Liu Chunzhi looked indifferent, but she didn't show any obvious dislike. The marriage must have gone too far.

Nothing is more important than a harmonious family.

Li Minghua asked Li Jianping to stay with Yang Man for dinner, but Yang Man said he had to go elsewhere to deliver goods and drove away first.

Liu Chunzhi asked the kitchen to prepare several good dishes. The whole family can finally get together to have a good meal again. Li Wei's eyes warmed slightly when he saw that they were all his favorite dishes. When she went out with Lao Bao and the others for interviews, she often couldn't eat a decent meal for several days. At that time, what she missed most was the taste of food at home.

"Why are you so skinny? Don't think about your figure. Eat more quickly. It will look good if you have some fat on your face." Liu Chunzhi said while putting vegetables in Li Wei's bowl.

Li Wei hurriedly said: "Mom, you don't need to give me more, I can do it myself."

For Li Wei, this meal was the most satisfying one he had had in a long time. After eating and drinking, Li Minghua and Li Jianping went about their business. Li Wei and Liu Chunzhi stayed in this room.

"We have already booked a banquet in the restaurant, and prepared a total of thirty tables. I originally wanted to place them here, but we also have a venue now, so are we still afraid that we won't be able to place them? But your elder brother said that it is convenient in the restaurant, so you can save yourself the trouble. Just give the money and don’t worry about anything else.”

Li Wei said: "Brother, he is different now. It's rare to get married and naturally he wants to make it more beautiful and lively. Just let him go."

"Don't I leave him alone enough? He can do whatever he wants. The new house is over here. I had someone put it up a few months ago. Have you seen it?"

Li Wei shook his head.

The mother's tone was very calm, and it seemed that she sincerely accepted the marriage. Liu Chunzhi finished chatting with her daughter about her son's marriage, and then she became concerned about her daughter: "What about you, how are you alone outside? You have lost a lot of weight. Isn't it very hard?"

"How can work not be hard? Besides, I am a newbie, let alone enjoying it."

Liu Chunzhi was silent for a while and then said to Li Wei: "Wei Wei, don't think that we ignore you or don't care about you. In fact, it's because you don't have to worry about it. From studying to working, we don't put much effort into it. It's you who strives for success, so we can rest assured." . But as a parent, how can I not feel sorry for my children? You are often not around now. I miss you so much that I can only turn on the TV and call you to ask if you are okay. I know that you report good things but not bad things. If you encounter any difficulties, you must speak up.”

Li Wei nodded desperately, and Liu Chunzhi touched Li Wei's hair gently and said, "Most of the guests have gone back to their rooms to rest. Do you want to take a bath? The weather is very hot."

"Okay, I'll go find a swimsuit." Li Wei turned around and left. She didn't tell her family about her resignation because she wasn't sure yet and didn't know how her family would react when they knew about it. The atmosphere at home is quite harmonious now, and she doesn't want to break it.

Li Wei finally found his swimsuit, changed into it and went to take a bath in a small pool. She sat on the edge of the pool. The hot spring water had a faint smell of sulfur and the temperature was just right. She stretched out her hands and placed them on the edge of the pool. Lying on her back, she looked up and saw the dark night sky.

A half-moon hung in the sky, and the pale moonlight shrouded the earth. At this moment, she relaxed wholeheartedly, and she didn't want to think about those troublesome things for the time being.

Li Wei wanted to hide her resignation from her family for the time being and wait until her eldest brother got married before telling her about it. It's a pity that God didn't give her this opportunity. When the post office called and asked Li Wei to pick up her mailed luggage, she was gradually exposed.

Yang Man brought a lot of her things back for her in a pickup truck. When she moved a lot of things out of the car, everyone in the family was dumbfounded. Li Wei just came back to attend her eldest brother's wedding. Why did she bring so much with her? s things

“Wei Wei, where do these things come from?”

"It's all mine." Li Wei said calmly that she realized that there might be a storm in this family soon.
