This was the first Spring Festival that Li Wei and his mother spent in the capital. Li Wei repeatedly asked his mother not to prepare so many dishes. However, Liu Chunzhi not only cooked five dishes and one soup, but also cleaned the house thoroughly, including all the curtains. The sofa cover and sofa cover were all cleaned, and I just had to go downstairs to dry the bedding.

Li Wei mainly takes care of the children and occasionally helps out, but he can also do some tasks such as mopping the floor and washing dishes.

Even Li Jianbo exclaimed when he saw it: "Mom, you really can't sit still."

"You have to be clean during the Chinese New Year." Liu Chunzhi is used to being tidy.

"I said you shouldn't have dismissed the nanny so early. Many mothers should take it easy." Li Wei expected that her brother would say this. She said helplessly: "It's not me who wants to retire, it's Sister Jin who insists on leaving me." I can’t help it. By the way, second brother, do you know any good housekeeping companies? Can you introduce me to a reliable nanny?”

"I don't need a nanny... But you can ask the Tang family. I think the tall eldest sister Tang is pretty good. I heard that she has been working in the Tang family for several years."

Liu Chunzhi hurriedly put the dishes on the table. When she heard the conversation between the brothers and sisters, she couldn't help but said: "Why hire a nanny? The family has foreign debts, so we won't waste the money. At worst, I will be tired, and it will be fine when the children are older."

"Foreign debt? What foreign debt?" Li Jianbo glanced at Li Wei confused.

Li Wei said: "Nothing."

It was obvious that she was avoiding the topic and didn't want to talk more in front of her family.

There were only four people together with Xiao Fujia. Although there were fewer people, the atmosphere was still full.

Zhao Qian's call came in halfway through the New Year's Eve dinner, and everyone congratulated each other on the New Year.

However, this capital has a ban on setting off fireworks and firecrackers at will, so it seems very quiet.

Li Jianbo drank a little wine, and Liu Chunzhi asked him to stay here tonight.

"You are a single man, and you will be lonely when you go home. Just stay here for one night."

Li Jianbo did not refuse. While Li Wei and his mother were busy cleaning up, he took the initiative to help take care of little Fujia.

Although he, the uncle, is a doctor, he doesn't react at all when faced with a crying child.

"Jianbo, look if she peed."

"Oh." He was asked to change the baby's diaper, which he had never done before. He carefully opened the diaper. Before he could take a closer look, little Fujia suddenly peed out, spilling sword waves all over his hands. My sleeves were also wet with urine.

Fortunately, Li Wei came in at this time: "Why are you crying so hard? Let me see... Oh, God, Jianbo, go and change your clothes. Zhao Qian's clothes are in the cloakroom. Please look for them yourself. ah."

Li Jianbo said with a helpless smile: "It looks like I'm going to make a fortune next year."

"Go and clean it up quickly. Just leave it to me." Li Wei hurriedly got a dry diaper and put it on her daughter.

She didn't go out until she had fed the baby and put her daughter to sleep. The lights in the living room were still on, and Liu Chunzhi had already gone back to her room.

She glanced at the guest room and wondered if her mother had made the bed for her brother. She saw the door was open and walked in.

Li Jianbo was not in the room, so she hurried to make the bed. The temperature in the room was high, and she was worried that Jianbo would be hot at night, so she brought a new thin quilt for the bed.

Just as she made the bed, there was movement at the door. She turned around and saw Jian Bo standing at the door. She smiled and said, "Second brother is back." Li Jianbo was wiping his head with a towel in his hand. , walked in and closed the door.

"Second brother, go to sleep. I won't disturb you. Good night."

But Li Jianbo suddenly grabbed Li Wei and said, "Don't worry, just wait a moment, I have something to ask you."

"Second brother, what can you say?"

"What did mom say about foreign debt just now? Do you owe anyone money?"

If she didn't explain this situation clearly, the second brother would not let her go easily. She also had no intention of telling the second brother the truth. She wrote lightly: "It's Zhao Qian. He went around soliciting investment and borrowed money from others in order to make a movie." ”

"How much did you borrow?"

"Probably... several million."

"A few million is not a small number, but it is not a big number to him either. Wei, if it's difficult, you have to speak up."

"Yeah, I will."

Li Jianbo gave Li Wei the red envelope he had prepared long ago: "This is New Year's money for my niece. You can keep it for her."

"Okay, I'll say thank you to you on her behalf." Li Wei took it without any politeness.

Li Wei took the red envelope and asked again: "Will you spend the 14th with Shiyun?"

"It's agreed, but I don't know if there will be any changes. If there is an emergency, I can't guarantee that I can keep the appointment."

"It's already holiday in school, and you don't have many patients in the hospital, so you're still trying to shirk it. If I were Shiyun, I would have been angry a long time ago. Fortunately, she can endure it and has a broad mind."

"Yeah, I always feel very sorry for her."

"Then treat her well. You two should settle your affairs as soon as possible and give each other peace of mind."

Li Jianbo thought about it carefully, then raised his head and glanced at Li Wei. His sister's expression was extremely serious. He pondered for a long time and nodded: "I plan to get engaged to her first, and then slowly plan the marriage."

Li Wei finally showed a smile: "That's right. Second brother, you are already grown up, and it's time to start a family. By the way... Have you mentioned Aunt Qi's matter to her?"

Jian Bo shook his head.

"But you can't hide it from her forever."

"I will tell her when the time is right."

"That's good, second brother wishes you happiness!"

"Thank you, you want to be happy too!" Jian Bo looked directly into Li Wei's eyes. They wished each other so sincerely and were back to the beginning.

Li Wei was about to go back to his room. After all, Fu Jia was still in the crib, and he was worried that she would suddenly wake up and cry.

Li Wei walked to the door, and she held the doorknob tightly with one hand. She thought of something and wanted to ask Jian Bo for confirmation, but she swallowed it back when the words came to her lips. Just smiled and said good night to Jianbo.

Li Wei returned to his room, and Fu Jia was still sleeping soundly.

Liu Chunzhi woke up early the next morning. She cooked breakfast for three people. First she went to call Jian Bo, and then she went to call her daughter. She saw that both mother and daughter were sleeping deeply and then changed her mind.

She served her son porridge and peeled eggs.

Jian Bo came over and said, "Mom, I'll do it myself."

Liu Chunzhi was concerned about her son's daily eating problems, and then said: "Jianbo, don't forget what I told you at the beginning. Now that you have a girl from the Tang family, you are not allowed to have other thoughts."

Li Jianbo looked at his mother in surprise and shouted, "Mom, I know what's appropriate."

"That's good." Liu Chunzhi saw the brother and sister muttering behind closed doors last night and didn't know what to say. She was afraid that what she was worried about would happen again. So I had to remind my son a few words.
