Chapter 237: family

Views:

After the busy Golden Week, there are not so many things at home. Li Minghua's health also stabilized, but Li Wei agreed to stay at home to help take care of the business for the time being.

"Wei Wei, after the Chinese New Year, I plan to build another guest house. This time I will build a three-story building. I plan to redo the decoration and dig two more soaking pools. Do you have any good suggestions?" Li Jianping asked sincerely. Li Wei asked for advice.

Li Wei thought for a while and said, "Eldest brother might as well consult with second brother. Maybe he can have some foresight."

"Jianbo is so busy right now. I can't say a few words to him even if I call him. It's useless for me to call him."

Li smiled and said, "I'll have time when my second brother is on vacation."

"By the way, I heard from mom about Jian Bo and the female doctor. Do you know something about it?"

"What did mom tell you?"

"I heard a little bit. It would be nice if Jianbo could find someone who goes with him. He has the same hobbies, works in the same place and can take care of each other. That would be great."

"I heard that Dr. Bian's father is their dean."

When Li Jianping heard about it, he hurriedly said, "Jianbo is good at it. He can even catch the dean's daughter without making any noise. It will be easier in the hospital in the future."

When the brother and sister talked about Jian Bo, they were both happy for Jian Bo.

Li Jianping was also concerned about his sister's health: "You are young and have only been working for a few years. How come you are so sick?"

"It must be the root cause of the disease when I was away during the flood in 1998. I couldn't eat well and sleep well for more than half a month. It was a long time. After I came here, I often worked overtime, and I didn't pay attention to maintenance and other things. It has become serious.”

Everyone only sees the glamorous hosts in front of the TV station and thinks this job is very easy, which shows that no profession is easy. Li Jianping sighed: "You might as well take this opportunity to take good care of yourself. Anyway, the environment here is good, the air is good, and you can soak in the pool, which is good for your health."

Li smiled and nodded: "Thank you, brother, for taking me in."

Li Jianping patted his sister on the shoulder: "Isn't this your home? You are too outsider. It's a shame that you call me big brother. If you do this again, I will be annoyed." Li Jianping said and took out a wad of money from his pocket.

"The hard work paid for a while ago."

Li Wei did not go to take the money: "Brother, since we are a family, why should we take the money? I have money to use."

"You don't have a salary now, so you don't have much money. It's not much. Hold it carefully and buy whatever you want. It's convenient to have money in your hand." Li Jianping forced it on her and walked away.

Li Wei clicked, a full thousand yuan. Her eldest brother was also very generous with his actions.

In the blink of an eye, it has been ten days since she came back. After not being too busy, Li Wei sleeps until she wakes up naturally every day, and no one disturbs her. In terms of diet, her family will also take special care of her and try to make some meals that are light, easy to digest, and taste good. She didn't come home to help, but actually came to recuperate.

At noon on the twelfth day, Li Jianbo suddenly drove back.

"I've been talking about you these past few days, kid, and you're back." When Li Jianping saw his brother getting out of the car, he went up and punched Jianbo.

Jianbo opened the trunk and took out all the things he bought. Li Jianping helped him move the cardboard boxes.

"Jianbo, what did you buy? It's so heavy?"

"It's heavy. I'm afraid it's because my eldest brother has become less energetic after not working hard for a long time."

"Nonsense, I'm still very strong. If you don't believe it, we'll have an arm wrestling match soon." The two brothers were still fighting like they did when they were kids.

I met a pair of parents and also met Yang Man. Li Jianbo greeted everyone politely, but unfortunately he didn't see his sister. Li Jianbo seemed a little anxious.

"Um... Weiwei isn't there?"

Liu Chunzhi said: "Weiwei went into the city early in the morning and said he was going to Chen Yating. He might not come back until the afternoon."

Li Jianping added on the side: "It's Weiwei's good friend in high school. She is now working as a nurse in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. Her father opened a martial arts gym to recruit some students to practice martial arts."

Li Jianbo seemed to have remembered: "Remember, Wei Wei learned all the boxing and kicking skills from others, right?" When Li Wei punched Jiang Yunfeng, his punches were all into his flesh.

"Jianbo came back alone? Why didn't you bring back Dr. Bian?"

"Doctor Bian?!" Li Jianbo looked surprised.

"Don't play dumb with us, Weiwei told us everything."

"God, what nonsense did she say..." Li Jianbo felt that it would be troublesome to explain everything now.

The first thing Li Jianbo did after he got home was to care about Li Minghua's health. Liu Chunzhi then found Li Minghua's checklist and showed it to Jianbo. Jian Bo took a cursory look and said, "There's nothing serious wrong with it. Just take care of it with peace of mind."

Li Jianbo spoke in front of his parents for a while before being pulled away by Jian Ping.

"A few days ago, Weiwei and I were talking about building a new guest room. When it came to the renovation, she asked me to ask you what you meant. Just give me some advice when you come back."

Li Jianbo followed his elder brother for a walk and said, "The land is restricted. If we want to expand, it will be very cramped."

"Yes, there is not much open space, so I am thinking about demolishing the small building we live in now, and then connecting it to the guest rooms to form a courtyard."

"If it's a courtyard house, the lighting will be affected, and it will be uncomfortable for customers to live in the dark."

The two brothers walked and talked for a long time. After a long time, Li Jianbo began to complain in his heart that some important friends had not come back for a long time, and he couldn't help but worry about whether he would encounter any trouble.

It was already six o'clock when Li Wei came back. She was overjoyed when she saw her second brother's car, secretly thinking that her second brother finally knew how to go home and visit her parents.

Li Wei opened the trunk and was picking up things from inside. A big hand stretched out to help her lift the things in her hand.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time and you haven't come back. You're so cool outside."

Li Wei was slightly surprised when she heard his second brother's complaining tone. She couldn't help but mumbled: "I went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for a checkup, and then went to Chen Yating's place and didn't go anywhere else. Besides, I don't know about my second brother. You're back. If I knew you were back, I would have come here earlier, but you didn't call me."

Li Jianbo smiled and said: "Don't be angry, I was just joking. The family is waiting for you to eat, so hurry up and go together."

The brother and sister came to this side of the house side by side, and sure enough, the food was on the table. Yinyin was sitting in her seat and had already started eating. Yang Man called her mother in the next room.

When Li Minghua saw that his children were all there, he was very happy and said to Liu Chunzhi, "Go and take out the bottle of Maotai that I saved during the Spring Festival."

Liu Chunzhi glanced at him: "How can you still drink when you are in such a bad state?"

Li Minghua said with a smile: "I won't drink, let his two brothers drink."

Liu Chunzhi went to get the wine as expected.

When Li Jianbo heard that he wanted to drink, he quickly declined and said, "Now that I have to drive, I don't even drink much."

Li Jianping pulled him and said: "Who asked you to drive at night? Are there not enough beds at home for you to sleep when you are drunk?"

Li Wei saw the two brothers talking and laughing but did not try to persuade them.
