When Jian Bo came back, the three brothers and sisters of the Li family went back to Yongning to worship their ancestors.
When they came back from the ancestor worship, they saw that Li Mingguo's family had also returned from other places. Li Jianping and his younger siblings said, "Although our father is gone, we are still a family after all, so we should go visit."
Jian Bo and Li Wei didn't mean anything else and said they would follow Jian Ping's arrangement. So the three brothers and sisters went to Li Ming's country. At this time, Li Xia was playing in the yard with her son. She heard someone knocking on the door and went to open the door. She was a little confused when she saw the three people outside the door.
"Sister, we are in Yongning. Uncle and aunt are at home."
But Li Xia said very coldly: "Here you are." She turned sideways and invited them into the house.
Li Wei greeted Li Xia with a smile. Li Xia was still very cold. She glanced at Li Wei lightly and thought to herself, Li Wei is also over thirty, why does he still look like someone in his early twenties? So young and beautiful. She pulled the child tightly, Jianbo leaned down and teased the child. However, the child held on to his mother's clothes tightly and looked at them very warily.
Everyone entered the house, and Li Mingguo heard the noise and came out. When he saw his nephew and niece, he was extremely happy and greeted them for tea and fruit snacks.
"We were too busy to leave when Weiwei got married and didn't have time to come back. Don't be surprised Weiwei."
Li Wei said with a smile: "Uncle, don't take it to heart, you have no choice but to do it."
Li Xia hurriedly asked: "Why haven't you seen my brother-in-law?"
Li Wei could only say: "He is busy with work and can't come back."
"Oh, I'm still busy during the Chinese New Year. I heard someone said that my niece-in-law is acting in movies?"
Li smiled and said yes.
Li Xia held her son tightly and felt extremely unhappy. She quickly stood up and said to her father, "Dad, I'll go out and find mom."
"Go ahead."
Li Xia took her son and left here. She knew about the grand occasion of Li Wei's marriage from the major news. Li Wei married a big star. The wedding was grand. It was said that he went to England for his honeymoon. It's really enviable for a woman to have such a good life. They are obviously both daughters of the Li family, so why are they so different? Li Wei found a big star as her husband, but she was a single mother and raised her children independently. It's really fate that plays tricks on people.
If she had not dropped out of school early and worked hard to go to junior high school, then high school, and if she could still go to college, then her life would definitely be completely different from what it is now, and she might be able to live a better life than Li Wei . Li Xia felt deep regret in her heart, but her life could no longer be repeated.
Li Wei and the others left after sitting in Li Ming's country for half an hour. Not long after they left, Li Mingguo asked Li Xia: "I saw they gave Xiaoqiang a red envelope. How much did they take?"
Li Xia pouted and said, "How many can there be? Three to four hundred in total."
"Four hundred? It's too disrespectful for such a big family to only receive four hundred as a red envelope." Li Mingguo said.
Regardless of how Li Mingguo talked about the stinginess of the three brothers and sisters, he said that the three brothers and sisters returned to Huiliang.
The family is busy, there are still about a hundred guests in the hotel, and more than a dozen tables of New Year's Eve dinner need to be prepared. The New Year's Eve dinner is the most important meal of the year, so it must be prepared extraordinarily sumptuously. The kitchen's prepared menu was shown to Jianping, who added a few more items, totaling twenty-four dishes for each table.
Seeing that the kitchen was too busy, Liu Chunzhi personally went to help cook a few specialty dishes. After taking care of these guests, she had time to talk about her own meals.
Jian Bo said: "I miss the taste of home when I am away from home, and my mother has to work hard to clean other dishes. Why not have hot pot at night? I haven't eaten hot pot made by my mother in a long time."
Liu Chunzhi said: "This is easy, I will just prepare the base soup."
By the time the Li family sat at the table eating hot pot, it was already half past eight in the evening. Li Wei was already ravenous with hunger, and couldn't help but swallow when he smelled the smell in his memory.
"I think our mother's hot pot cooking skills can't be lost and must be passed on. How about we build a hot pot restaurant after the Chinese New Year?" Jianping asked for everyone's opinions.
Jian Bo said: "Ask us, of course we support it, as long as you can eat delicious food when you come back, isn't it Weiwei?"
Li Wei nodded happily.
Yang Man is pregnant again, and he doesn't dare to eat randomly. Everyone in his family is smiling, but Li Wei is worried. She didn't know how to tell her family about her worries, so she had to glance at her second brother secretly. Jian Bo just turned around, the brother and sister looked at each other, and Li Wei smiled awkwardly.
The sound of rumbling firecrackers and exploding fireworks outside came one after another. Yinyin had already run out to watch, and Li Wei had long passed the age to be interested in these excitements. She ate in silence and then got off the table.
After Li Wei left, Jianping was a little surprised and said, "Wei Wei complained that she was hungry in the afternoon, but why didn't she eat much?"
Liu Chunzhi said: "He must have gone out to make a phone call."
Li Wei returned to his bedroom and took out his cell phone to call Zhao Qian, but unfortunately, his cell phone was turned off and he couldn't get through at all. Li Wei was inevitably disappointed that he could not be reunited on such a day and could not even say a word.
The bustle outside was still there, and Li Wei walked to the balcony. From time to time, fireworks bloom brightly and dazzlingly in the dark night sky. Where is Zhao Qian at this time and what is he doing
The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, but Li Wei didn't go anywhere. She asked for pen and paper and said she wanted to write a good picture for Jianping. Li Wei has decided to read Zhao Mengfu's "Ode to the Goddess of Luo". This calligraphy was collected by her father Li Yi in the study when Li Wei was still very young. She saw her father touch it when she was young. Later, when she was learning to write, her father taught her stroke by stroke. She liked Zhao Ti so much that this was her first post.
Because I have written a lot, I have already become familiar with the sentences in it, so it is effortless to write them.
It’s just that this is a masterpiece with a lot of words, so it’s not easy to write. Li Wei struggled to write all morning and only finished three paragraphs. She was so tired that her wrists no longer had any strength.
Someone knocked on the door outside. Li Wei went over and opened the door. Standing outside the door was Li Jianbo.
"Mom said you didn't show up all morning. Why did you ask me to come and see you?"
Li Wei invited Jian Bo inside and said, "I'm busy writing."
Li Jianbo walked to the table and looked at Li Wei's unfinished calligraphy. The handwriting on the paper was simple and elegant, with a bit of everyone's charm. Even if he practices for another twenty years, he may not be able to write so well.
"I haven't finished writing yet. Second brother, you can sit down wherever you like." Li Wei went over and temporarily put away the unfinished manuscript.
Li Jianbo sat down at the desk, and Li Wei went out to pour two glasses of water.
When he came back, Jian Bo took advantage of the situation and asked, "Wei Wei, you seem to have something on your mind?"
Li Wei pursed her lips slightly, secretly thinking that she couldn't hide it in front of her second brother.
