Chapter 279 280 Fengming Village
When the two children saw that Li Yu had come back with delicious food, they picked up one and put it in their mouths. Li Yu smiled and said to the two of them: "Slow down, sit down on a stool and eat slowly."
Xinghua took the two of them away, and Li Yu said to Jixiang: "I also forgot that the Zuixian Building opposite is the property of Sihai Bank. Do you think we should find Shopkeeper Chu and tell him the plan of our villa? Ask him if he has any intention to invest?"
After hearing this, Jixiang nodded and said: "Madam, Sihai Bank has teahouses and restaurants everywhere. I think they probably rely on these two to collect intelligence. If our villa invites them to become a shareholder, it will help us get started quickly in business."
"Okay, then you go and find Shopkeeper Chu."
Li Yu saw Xinghua playing with Yangyang and Qijin in the yard. He brought the rocking chair to the yard and sat in the rocking chair to bask in the sun. He thought about Zhou Jia saying that he would be back in half a month. It has already been a month. There are Mr. and Awei. The newly purchased wasteland has been partially opened. They haven't come back yet. I wonder if they are okay? I also don’t know if my aunt has received the letter.
In Fengming Village, Li Mei had already received the letter Li Yu asked Sihai Bank to bring. She hurriedly took it and asked Uncle Zhou to help read it to her. When she heard Li Yu ask her, had her mother mentioned whether there was anything else at home? Relative, Li Mei thought about it for a long time and had no idea whether she had a twin sister. She shook her head and said, "It has been so many years and I can't remember it for a while. I will think about it when I go back and I won't bother Uncle Zhou." Reply to the fish."
Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "Auntie, you are so polite. Your brother Zhu can also write letters to his cousin and husband!"
Li Mei shook her head in annoyance when she thought of her son, "Forget about that boy. His two sisters are much easier to support than him. This boy doesn't have a roof for three days, which often makes his father jump in anger."
Uncle Zhou laughed when he thought of Brother Zhu's naughty look, "You're a boy! You have to be naughty, but you have to be strict when you need to be strict."
At this time, Aunt He came back from outside angrily. Li Mei smiled and said: "Ouch! Who made our least tempered Aunt He angry?"
Only then did Aunt He see Li Mei. Thinking of the gossip she had just heard, she pulled Li Mei and asked angrily: "Auntie, has your girl settled on a family?"
Li Mei knew something was wrong just by looking at Aunt He, "What's wrong? Did you hear any gossip?"
"I went to the shop in town today, where Chunsheng's wife, her mother-in-law, and Cuixiang from Chen Changsheng's family were gossiping about our girls." Aunt He imitated Cuixiang's high-pitched voice, "She just relied on Xiaoyu's Is he powerful? He didn't even look at his own virtues. He picked out all the boys in the village, but no one caught his eye. Could it be that he wanted to choose the top pick."
"I know why she said this. She went to the village chief's house a few days ago to ask Sister-in-law Li to come to my house to be a matchmaker. She wanted to give her Laidi as her daughter-in-law, but Sister-in-law Li responded without saying a word," Li Mei said and sighed. He took a breath and said, "There are indeed many people in the village who are interested in that, but that girl doesn't like any of them, and I don't know what kind of one she wants to choose. Now that I am spending time in the workshop, I feel a lot less worried. But it’s not possible to decide on a good family! I’m already eighteen after the Chinese New Year, is it possible to wait for the court to get married?”
"Yes! I also forgot. If we can't delay, please hurry up and hurry up. If it doesn't work, just recruit a son-in-law to come back."
Li Mei's eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "That's a good idea. I'll go back first. Uncle Zhou will ask you to reply to Yu'er when I think of it."
"Okay, come back when you think about it." Before Uncle Zhou finished speaking, Li Mei had already left in a hurry.
Li Mei didn't go home and went straight to the newly built workshop next to Zhuangzi. When the gatekeeper saw Li Mei coming, he smiled and said, "Aunt Li, you came to see Miss Laidi! She just left not long ago."
Li Meiqi said: "Just left? I just came from the village, why didn't I meet her?"
The clerk smiled and said, "She followed the car from Tongzhou to pick up the goods and went to town. Didn't you know?"
Li Mei was confused and replied: "I know, Zhao Di's daughter is one year old. I asked her to buy some jewelry for her. She said she would go later. Whose car did she take to go to town?"
The clerk smiled and said: "Aunt Li from the bank, would you like to come into the workshop and have a look?"
Li Mei was worried about Laidi and had no intention of going in to take a look. She waved her hand and said, "No, I have something else to do."
Li Mei walked back anxiously, and couldn't stop thinking wildly in her mind: Her father had already gone to Tongzhou to buy Yaya a first-year gift, so why did she go to town quietly? Is it possible that she fell in love with someone? Thinking of this, Li Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she seemed to understand why Laidi didn't like any of them.
Li Mei arrived home and saw Brother Zhu writing alone under the eaves. She said to Brother Zhu, "Go and call your eldest sister back. Mom has something to ask her."
Seeing Li Mei's sullen face, Brother Zhu didn't dare to act like a monster. He obediently put down his pen and ran towards Zhao Di's house. From a distance, he saw his brother-in-law Chen Xu holding Yaya and standing in front of the vegetable patch at the door to watch Zhao Di pick onions and Cai, ran up to Chen Xu, panting heavily and said to Zhao Di in the vegetable field: "Sister, mother asked you to go back, it seems something happened."
Seeing Brother Zhu panting, Zhao Di glared at him distressedly, "You should run slower! I'll go after I've washed these dishes."
Yaya saw Brother Zhu and shouted inarticulately: "Doudou, Doudou..." Brother Zhu walked over and took Yaya's little hand, shook it a few times, and taught her with a smile, "You little fool, are you uncle?" Doudou.”
"Doudou, Doudou," Yaya still called Doudou. Brother Zhu walked to the ditch in frustration and watched Zhao Di washing vegetables by the ditch. Chen Xu looked at Brother Zhu and smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, I heard Did your teacher praise you in school today?"
Brother Zhu raised his eyebrows proudly, "That's right, brother-in-law, I was slapped on the palm by my teacher before. That was because I wasn't serious. If I were serious, my teacher would praise me in every class."
Chen Xu looked at Brother Zhu, who looked like a calf, and shook his head with a smile, "You still have the nerve to brag. Every time Ah Qing comes back, he will open a small stove for you. You are often slapped on the palm by your husband. You are simply embarrassing Ah Qing." Face, my mother-in-law is acting like that that day, you should be more sensible."
Brother Zhu remembered the day when his husband invited his parents to ask Li Mei to take him back. She said she was too naughty and he couldn't teach her. Li Mei was so angry that she fainted on the ground. She was still frightened. She lowered her head and said, "Brother-in-law, I will change if you see me."
Seeing Brother Zhu's ashamed look, Chen Xu nodded and encouraged, "Okay, brother-in-law believes in you."
Zhao Di handed the green onion leaves and garlic sprouts to Chen Xu, "You take the vegetables back to mother, and I'll go back and take a look."
"Go!" Chen Xu nodded, took the dish and entered the house.
When the siblings returned home, they saw Li Mei sitting blankly on a chair in the main room. They strode in, sat next to Li Mei and asked concernedly: "Mom, what happened?"
Li Mei glanced at Zhao Di and said to Brother Zhu, "Brother Zhu, go and close the courtyard door and write." Brother Zhu nodded, turned around and went out.
