After returning from Yongning, Li Wei helped his brother and sister-in-law manage the hotel business.
In fact, these days there is not much work to do with just a few customers a day. Li Wei helped clean the guest room and settle accounts. Li Jianping thought the painting hanging in the lobby was not good-looking and Li Wei agreed to paint another one.
"I don't want this light-ink landscape, which looks strangely deserted. Please draw me an auspicious and festive painting." Li Jianping said his request.
"Auspicious and festive, do you want New Year pictures?" Li Wei's eyes widened.
Li Jianping said: "Whatever New Year pictures, you have to make them look good for me. I will pay you the royalties when the manuscript is submitted."
"Then brother, I need to wait carefully. I have no direction at the moment. I don't know what to draw, and I'm afraid that you won't be satisfied with the drawing."
Li Jianping thought for a while and said to his sister: "Draw me a "Horse Picture", which means success. If you have a reference first, it won't be that difficult for you to draw."
"You've been working on it for a long time and you want me to copy it? This is too easy. Just go and prepare the pen, ink and paint, and I can draw you a picture tomorrow."
Li Jianping took his sister to see the hotel under construction.
In the first phase of the project, the main building of the hotel has been built and the rooms have been decorated. However, the guest rooms are still empty and all the corresponding furniture has not been purchased. The light fixtures were just installed.
"Judging from the decoration style, it looks like a simple Mediterranean style. Was it your second brother's suggestion?"
"Yes, he said the main thing is simplicity and comfort, and there is no need for so many complicated and useless furnishings."
"How long will it take to put it into use?"
Li Jianping said: "It's still very early, and the villa area has not been fully constructed yet, so we have only built two villas." As he said this, Li Jianping took his sister to visit the villa area again.
Two sets of the same European-style buildings rise from the ground, and their style is somewhat similar to that of Northern Europe. The villa has a private hot spring pool and some evergreen plants planted all year round. Unfortunately, these trees are still very young and cannot provide any shielding effect at all.
The theme park site has been cleared, but construction has not yet begun. There are also golf courses, tennis courts, and bicycle loops. These all cost a lot of money.
“Will it be operational in another five years?”
"I guess it's about the same. Jianbo also said that it will take about five years to build. The investment here is huge, and it will only take another five years before the returns are returned. Do you also plan to invest in stocks?"
Li Wei said: "Brother, I haven't stabilized my job yet, and I don't even have an income. How can I get the money to invest in shares? I bought a house with all my savings before, but now I don't even have a car."
Li Jianping smiled and said: "I have forgotten this. It's not easy for you. Can you help me as a big brother?"
Li smiled and shook his head and said: "It's not necessary for the time being. I will tell my brother if I have a chance in the future."
"That's right. We're all one family and don't talk about two families. However, your eldest brother's abilities are limited, and I'm afraid he's powerless, so he has to support you in his heart."
The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled. At this moment, the time seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago.
Li Jianping had something in his mind, but he couldn't hold it back no matter what. He finally asked: "What happened to that Zhao Qian? Why did he suddenly disappear from the world?"
"Yes, he disappeared. I can't tell whether he will come back or not. But I promised to wait for him."
Li Jianping looked at his sister calmly. She was almost thirty years old, and the flowering period of women was so short, and there were only so many years to wait. He didn't want his sister to waste his good years while waiting, and besides, that Zhao Qian was... So is it worth the sacrifice that my sister has made without regrets
Li Wei stood on this land and began to imagine what the scene would be like five years later.
"Weiwei, while you were in coma, Jianbo paid a lot for you, do you know?"
"Of course I know."
"He traveled to many places for your illness, and also found many authoritative people to consult you. Several times you failed, but it was Jianbo who persisted. He said he would never give up until the last moment. He originally had the opportunity to be transferred to a well-known hospital in the capital, but because he wanted to take care of you, he resolutely refused the invitation there. He heard that the hospital offered him good conditions, including household registration and housing. He also provided scientific research expenses. He chose you without any hesitation between his career and you.”
Li Wei raised his eyes and said, "I owe these to my second brother. I will pay him back slowly in the future."
"If the opportunity is gone, it is very likely that it will no longer exist, and the time in the past will never come back. These are things you cannot afford to repay. Jianbo's wish is actually very small, and he just hopes that you will be well."
Li Wei was speechless. To be held in the palm of someone's hand and cared for like this was a blessing that had been cultivated over several lifetimes. This was not something a biological brother and sister could do to her.
I have to say that Li Jianbo's kindness to Li Wei really moved Li Wei.
Li Jianbo drove back the next afternoon, and the family was finally able to get together again. When everyone was sitting around the round table for dinner, the seat that originally belonged to Li Minghua was empty, but a pair of bowls and chopsticks were placed, and the wine glass in front of him was filled with wine. This is how his family remembered Li Minghua.
This dinner was cooked by Liu Chunzhi herself. As she ate the familiar taste, Li Wei secretly sighed that living in this era was simply too happy.
Li Jianping raised his glass and said, "Let's all have a drink for this family."
Even Yinyin raised her glass, and her glass was still filled with orange juice.
Liu Chunzhi's smile has rarely been seen since Li Minghua left, but today she smiled the most. For Liu Chunzhi, there is nothing happier than having her children by her side.
Yang Man whispered to Li Wei: "Our mother has not been so happy for a long time."
Li smiled.
Liu Chunzhi remembered a person who asked Jianbo: "Second brother, last time I took Weiwei to your hospital, and then a female doctor came with you. I saw that the female doctor was really beautiful. Is such a beautiful female doctor married? ?”
Li Jianbo frowned slightly and said, "What are you thinking about? She is the dean's daughter."
"What about the dean's daughter? Isn't she still too high up? You don't have anything to lose." Liu Chunzhi was naturally very satisfied with Jian Bo.
Listening to their conversation, Li Wei couldn't help but smile. It turned out that her second brother was also being urged to get married one day. This is only fair. Instead of urging her every time, the second brother is older than her.
After talking about the beautiful female doctors, Liu Chunzhi continued: "Then there should be some unmarried male doctors in your hospital. If you look at the suitable ones, you should consider your sister."
Come on, he immediately changed the topic to her. Li Wei pretended not to hear and just lowered his head to eat the food.
