After the shop closed, the four members of the Li family returned to Yongning to worship their ancestors. This is an annual practice.
After the sacrifice to the ancestor, he planned to return to the city on the same day, but was called by Li Mingguo to eat at his house. What surprised them was that Li Xia returned.
Li Wei looked at the glamorous and stylishly dressed woman in front of her, she was a little surprised.
Li Xia smiled: "I heard your parents say that you are still studying, how many railways and provinces are there in China?"
"No, I'm learning broadcast hosting."
Li Xia had never heard of this term and didn't care too much. Her face was a confident smile. It seemed that Li Xia had made a name for himself outside in the past few years.
Zhang Weihong was happier than anyone else when she saw her daughter came back. Now that her daughter has come back with the money, she also deliberately wanted to show off in front of Liu Chunzhi: "Our family Axia is really capable. After going out for a few years, I have earned tens of thousands of dollars back. She had a gold necklace. She told her dad to demolish the old house and build a two-story building. She also said that Jian Fei would be taken out in a few years. I used to worry about her, look, she I've made a name for myself, and there is no need for us to worry about it. Your family Weiwei is still studying, right? You are almost nineteen years old, right? Oh, do you have to read as an old girl, who would dare to marry her then." Zhang Weihong said and laughed again.
Liu Chunzhi didn't get annoyed when he heard these words, but asked indifferently, "Are Axia and He Chao divorced?"
That Wei Hong's face turned ugly in an instant.
The two concubines were busy in the kitchen. Zhang Weihong was blocked by Liu Chunzhi and didn't know what to say. Here, Li Xia and Li Wei were talking about her experiences in Guangzhou, and she would pat her thighs when she was happy.
Finally, he said to Li Wei: "I heard that Jianbo kid is going abroad?"
Li Wei said: "Yes, in America."
Li Xia was full of illusions about the United States: "I heard that it is heaven. By the way, can you write to Jianbo and let me go to him?"
Li Wei looked at Li Xia in surprise, and asked incomprehensibly: "What are you doing in America?"
"Look for business opportunities."
"Do you have good English? Do you have professional skills? Or do you have a lot of money to invest?"
Li Wei's three consecutive questions made Li Xia unable to speak. She smiled: "I can't go now, but it doesn't mean I can't go in the future. Isn't it the United States..." But her English level only stays at "Hello" and "Byebye" to the extent.
After lunch in Li Ming Country, they returned to the city. This year's New Year's Eve dinner is in this small house temporarily rented in the city. Li Wei and Li Jianping went to the street to buy some Spring Festival couplets to decorate their new home, hoping to have some New Year atmosphere.
Here Li Minghua and Liu Chunzhi are busy preparing New Year's Eve dinner at home. Liu Chunzhi is angry: "Your sister-in-law is really enough. They Li Xia earns a few stinky money and it is amazing. It shows off in front of me...why look down on us Wei Wei. "
Li Minghua said: "Axia didn't read much, but she had studied tailoring in the city for a few months earlier. Why did she earn tens of thousands back?"
"You ask me, who am I asking. Your niece is capable." Liu Chunzhi felt that this world had changed, and the earning earners looked down upon those who were serious about studying.
"Wei Wei will be out for work in three years, but we have no way out on TV or on the radio. I am afraid that it will be hard to find a job." Li Minghua is a little worried about Li Wei's future, but Liu Chunzhi has an open mind.
"It's still too early to think about this. We just need to earn money for her to study. As for finding a job, she can rely on her own ability. Weiwei is obedient and sensible. Even if she studies, she can earn some money back, and she knows to honor us. I don't worry too much. She is just a kid, Jianping, in her twenties, and she doesn't even have a target. I worry about him even more."
"Are you asking someone to match Jianping again?"
Liu Chunzhi nodded and said, "Yes."
A few months after Wang Yulan's incident, Li Jianping also went to see several girls before and after Liu Chunzhi's arrangement. I don't know if he was picky or had no eye on, and didn't even agree with one, so Liu Chunzhi was even more anxious.
The couple were busy in the kitchen, the phone in the room rang, Liu Chunzhi's hands were full of oil, and Li Minghua asked Li Minghua to answer the phone. Li Minghua lazily walked to the living room, picked up the phone and gave two feeds, and quickly said to Liu Chunzhi: "I'm looking for you, come on."
Liu Chunzhi was busy wiping her hands on her apron, and came over to answer the phone: "Is it Big Sister Zhang?"
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll talk to Jianping when he comes back."
"You told him another marriage?"
"Hey, sister Zhang who sells tobacco and alcohol is enthusiastic. She said that she had a suitable girl in her family who happened to be single. She wanted to talk to Jianping. I thought it was good, so I should agree to it for the time being. I have an appointment for the third year of the junior high school. Tell Jianping well. His attitude is not good."
When Jianping and Li Wei returned from shopping, the brothers and sisters were busy arranging the house. When they turned back, Liu Chunzhi told Jianping about the blind date.
Then Li Jianping had been tired of seeing each other a few times, and he refused, "I don't want to see what surname Zhang is surnamed Wang."
Liu Chunzhi was annoyed: "It's all done on the phone. If you can't say anything, don't go. Don't let your Aunt Zhang be so enthusiastic.
Li Wei saw his mother upset by the side. It is not a good thing for a family with a big heart to make trouble during the Chinese New Year, so he winks secretly at Li Jianping, why Li Jianping doesn’t understand what his sister is thinking, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I’ll just Go and take a look. I can't guarantee it."
Seeing his son finally let go, Liu Chunzhi turned his anger into joy, and pulled Li Wei aside to confess to her: "You also go with me on the third day of the junior high school and act as my ears and eyes."
Uh, the task assigned by her mother was a bit difficult for Li Wei, but she had to bite the bullet and agreed.
Li Wei helped his mother prepare a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner. Four people were sitting around the square table. The Chinese New Year Gala was on the TV.
Every time Liu Chunzhi missed Li Jianbo very much, she sighed: "I don't know that the United States will not pass the new year."
On the third day of the junior high school, Li Jianping tidied himself up and put on new clothes under the chant of his mother.
At the request of his mother, Li Wei followed Li Jianping out, until he reached the park where he had agreed to meet. Li Jianping suddenly turned around and took Li Wei's arm.
"Big Brother..."
"Shhh, you just have to cooperate with me in the show. It's a favor to deal with it. I'll treat you to something delicious later."
Li Wei understood her elder brother's intentions, but felt extremely awkward.
The siblings walked up to the girl intimately. The girl was in her twenties. Li Jianping stepped forward and asked, "Are you Xiaohong?"
Xiao Hong nodded.
Li Wei acted as a light bulb again. No, Li Jianping kept holding her hand. Before the date lasted for half an hour, the girl named Xiaohong found an excuse to end the meeting.
Li Jianping finally let out a sigh of relief. Li Wei curled his lips and said, "Big brother, you are really good, and even your sister should use it. If you look back, Mom can't scold me if you know the truth?"
"What are you afraid of? When the time comes, I will be your brother."
