After another two days, Li Wei had the opportunity to tell his family about the thief at home. Li Minghua still didn't believe it and said: "How is it possible? The doors and windows were closed when we left. This neighborhood is not desolate. , there is no way for thieves to come."
Li Wei swallowed everything he wanted to say and stopped mentioning the matter. She was helping to pick vegetables when she suddenly saw her elder brother and Wang Yulan coming back together.
Wang Yulan followed behind, chattering without knowing what she was talking about, while her elder brother smiled happily. Li Wei's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized the possibility of something, and she went to see her mother again.
Liu Chunzhi had already stood up and went out to greet him.
"How's it going? Are all the accounts in order?"
Li Jianping said: "We are right, Yulan is still careful."
Liu Chunzhi immediately showed a big smile to Wang Yulan: "This is my daughter's house after all. You haven't even ridden the car. You must be tired. Come in and sit down for a while and drink some water."
Li Wei helped pick the vegetables. Now that the family is burning briquettes, she no longer needs to help with the fire. She helps wash and cut the vegetables. After everything is prepared, her mother comes over to take charge of the cooking, while Li Wei helps.
"Mom, I ate roasted pork sausage again today. I don't like eating pork sausage. It always tastes bad and makes me tired after eating it."
"Smelly girl, now that I have you, I have started to pick. This fat intestine has been washed many times, so why does it have a smell? It's because of your inner workings. Besides, I see that your elder brother and Yu Lan both like to eat it, so I just hurriedly bought some more. Don’t be picky, it’s good to have some.”
Li Wei wanted to say that his mother was partial, but he didn't say what mother didn't love her son.
It's rare for everyone to get together for lunch. Liu Chunzhi's cooking skills are outstanding, and even her stir-fried cabbage is popular. Wang Yulan always praised Liu Chunzhi's skills and said that she would learn from her.
Liu Chunzhi immediately agreed: "Okay, I will teach you whatever you want to learn. It's a pity that Wei Wei is lazy and she still doesn't like it if I ask her to cook."
Li Wei murmured in her heart, when was she lazy? She always did what she was asked to do immediately and gave up in time. Li Wei hurriedly finished his meal and went back to his room to do his own thing. Wang Yulan diligently helped clear the dishes and asked Liu Chunzhi for tips on cooking. She kept calling her "Auntie" one after another, which was much sweeter than Li Xia's words back then.
When Li Wei came out, she saw Wang Yulan already discussing TV programs with Li Jianping in the living room, with the same expression as when Wang Yu faced her second brother. Li Wei's heart trembled. Could it be that Wang Yulan wanted to be his sister-in-law
"Brother, why don't you go to the store?"
Li Jianping turned back and said with a smile: "Yu Lan said she would leave after watching this episode."
Then will you stay with her forever? Is the eldest brother also sincere? Wang Yulan is about the same age as herself, maybe a few months older than her, at most seventeen years old, which is several years older than her elder brother.
Winter is here, and the weather is getting colder day by day. Li Wei's ears have suffered from frostbite every morning and night. I bought several boxes of frostbite ointment to apply, but it was of no use. It hurts when it's cold and itches when it's hot.
"Wei Wei, I heard that rubbing chili oil is useful, do you want to give it a try?" Wang Yulan suggested kindly.
Li Wei spread his hands and said, "I wiped it, it's of no use."
"Hey, this is going to be troublesome."
Li Wei glanced at the needle in Wang Yulan's hand. She was knitting wool. It was several inches long. It looked like a scarf. The black thread is not the color Wang Yulan likes.
"Are you knitting a scarf for my big brother?"
Wang Yulan blushed and explained: "I usually take care of Brother Li a lot, but I don't know how to repay him. I thought the weather was cold and he was wearing thin clothes, so I planned to knit a scarf and give it to him. I also bought other colors. I’ll knit one for you later.”
"No, you have worked hard and your hands are cold." Li Wei rejected her kindness.
The weather was cold, so Li Wei wanted to move to school accommodation. She told her mother about the proposal, and Liu Chunzhi agreed after careful consideration: "Okay, it's more convenient to live on campus. We will come back late at night and disturb your rest. When will you move?"
"Today I just want to take the bedding and stuff."
"Well, let your elder brother send you off."
Speaking of her eldest brother, Li Wei thought of Wang Yulan. She thought about it and felt that she should tell her mother about this matter.
"Mom, what do you think of eldest brother and Wang Yulan?"
Liu Chunzhi said with some confusion: "Why are you mentioning them two?"
Li Weijian made a start and said directly: "Wang Yulan likes my eldest brother."
Liu Chunzhi was stunned at first, but then she understood and said happily: "This boy is lucky. Magnolia is good, she knows everything, and she is diligent and honest. I think she is very good."
Li Wei's mother's reaction was as expected.
"But Magnolia is still young."
"What's so young? She'll be eighteen in a few months. She's a big girl now. She's several months older than you. It seems like this matter should be settled as soon as possible." Liu Chunzhi seemed a little impatient.
"Mom, you are too impatient. Brother has not confirmed it yet. You have to ask him what he means. If he doesn't like it, if you tell him again, he will blame you again."
"Parents should make the final decision on marriage matters. I think Yulan is very good. She has a good temper, a docile personality, and she is filial to others. She looks... quite pretty, so what's wrong with her?"
Not to mention her mother really knows how to praise people. As a younger sister, she had nothing to do with her brother's marriage, and she was unwilling to interfere, so she said, "Mom, I'm going to pack things."
Li Wei played back and found two large woven bags, started to put clothes in them, and then looked for bedding. Wang Yulan looked weird and asked Li Wei: "Weiwei, where are you going?"
"Move to school."
The sensitive Wang Yulan immediately realized whether her arrival had disturbed Li Wei, and hurriedly asked: "You don't need to leave, I am the one who should move."
"Hey, what are you thinking about? It's cold in the winter and I'm freezing when I walk back and forth every day. Moving to school can save a lot of time. I'll give this room to you temporarily when I leave. On weekends I’ll come back and fight with you later.”
Wang Yulan hurriedly helped Li Wei pack things until she heard Li Jianping coming back. Wang Yulan was stunned for a moment. Li Wei saw it, and she said to Wang Yulan: "I can do it myself. If you want to see him, just go."
Wang Yulan's face was as red as red cloth, and she said shyly: "You will make fun of me."
Li Wei packed up his things, and Li Jianping said a few words to his mother outside, then walked in and watched the two girls busy.
"Mom said to let me see you off later, but I don't have time. How about I find a car for you."
Li Wei said, "No need, I can do it by myself." She packed a few baggage, then pushed the bicycle and tied all the big and small baggage on it. As he pushed the cart out of the yard, Li Jianping and Wang Yulan's laughter could be heard from behind.
