Chapter 421 Interviewing Relatives and Friends (1)
Although the children were noisy when shopping, Li Wen enjoyed the happiness of being with the children.
He led a group of children along the way, like a baby boy, and the sound of joy filled the whole street.
"Awen, I don't dare to act like you and buy whatever the children want. Then I'll have to do it later." Li Wu watched as Li Wen bought each of the children whatever they wanted and hurriedly advised him.
"That's right! Xiaowen, just now you have bought more than 20 yuan worth of things. This is too extravagant. You need to be more frugal. There are a lot of expenses outside, and you will have to save money to marry a wife in the future.
!" The eldest brother-in-law Song Chaoyang was horrified when he saw this.
"Brother, brother-in-law, it's just the New Year. Besides, these are all small things. How much money can be spent on a few children, so you have to ignore it. I know it well.
Today, I will treat you as the uncle and uncle who have made up for the children in the past few years." Li Wen looked at the two of them, smiled and waved his hand.
After wandering around all morning, a bunch of little guys ate snacks until they were full.
During lunch, when the little ones saw Li Wen treating guests to a big dinner at a state-owned hotel, they all cried regretfully, holding their bloated stomachs.
After wandering around for noon, everyone went back to eldest brother's house to rest, and Li Wen drank tea.
"Juanzi, why didn't you and A Ping buy much at noon? Didn't you say that you wanted to buy a lot of things?" After dinner, Li Wen looked at his two sisters and asked with a smile.
"Brother, my mother is very picky and doesn't even give me pocket money.
Your sister, I am so poor now that I only have ten cents in my pocket and cannot afford to buy anything.
Please give me some money and tickets! In the afternoon, Sister Ping and I will go out by ourselves." Li Juan said miserably.
"You naughty girl, our mother doesn't give you pocket money, and our father doesn't give it to you?
Also, every time your sister-in-law and I go home, you don’t give you less pocket money! Every time, it can be as little as one or two cents, and as much as four or five cents more. Where is the money? Where has it been spent?" Li Wu revealed.
My sister's miserable performance.
"Hmph! Don't you want your sister to buy some snacks? Brother, I'll ignore you." Li Juan pouted and turned away.
Li Wu and Li Juan were more than ten years apart in age, and they usually doted on the little girl. Just now they were just teasing the little girl.
Seeing that my little sister was a little angry at this time, I just smiled and didn't dare to tease her anymore, otherwise the girl would go back and complain and get a scolding from her father.
"Haha! My little sister has grown up and started acting with your brother, acting petty.
Everyone knows that eldest brother loves you the most, so stop pretending.
Here, here's fifty yuan and some bills. You two can go shopping on the streets in the afternoon! These little guys are too full to eat, so they probably won't go out in the afternoon.
I just have something to do in the afternoon, so you can go out and play on your own! But be careful of pickpockets and gangsters." After Li Wen finished speaking, he took out five large unity sheets and a thick stack of bills from his pocket and gave them to Li Juan.
"Wow! So many tickets. Brother, where did you get so many tickets?" Li Juan looked at a stack of at least forty or fifty tickets and said in shock.
"Most of them are national tickets, and some of them were exchanged with village members for Hong Kong dollars in the past few days." Li Wen did not explain too much.
At this time, all the little guys, who had been running for most of the day and were full of food, sat on the warm kang and fell into a drowsy sleep.
Li Juan didn't care where Li Wen got so many bills. She didn't bother to ask. She grabbed the money and bills on the table and slipped out with Li Ping.
"This girl is already a 14 or 15-year-old girl, and she is still very busy all day long." Li Wu looked at the little girl's back and couldn't laugh or cry.
"Brother, let them play! I have discussed it with my parents and plan to take them to Xiang Island to study after the new year.
Let them experience the Chinese New Year in their hometown, and it may be difficult for them to come back in the next three to five years." Li Wen said with a smile.
Li Wu and Song Chaoyang were obviously stunned when they heard that Li Wen actually wanted to take their two sisters to Xiang Island.
"That's right, my little sister is still too young, so she should go to school! Our family is not short of the money she can earn from working in the village.
Ping Ping is the same, take her over there to let her relax, even though she is a good person who stays at home all the time, she still gets sick." Li Wu nodded and supported Li Wen in taking his two younger sisters to Xiang Island.
Song Chaoyang on the side just listened quietly to the two brothers and did not interrupt. After all, he was just a son-in-law and brother-in-law with a foreign surname, so he could not talk nonsense or make random suggestions.
"Brother, brother-in-law, why don't you talk first, and then you can take the children for a walk after they wake up.
I finally came back home, and I went to a friend's house in the county to pay New Year's greetings. I want to express my gratitude for the help to our family in the past few years." He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. He could not delay any longer. It was winter.
It gets dark too early.
"Okay, you go quickly! These friends and connections like yours have helped our family a lot in the past few years, and we have to move around." Li Wu and his brother-in-law Song Chaoyang also hurriedly spoke.
Li Wen then asked Li Wu if his acquaintances in the county had any job changes, so as to avoid finding anyone.
But before that, Li Wen still had to go to his aunt's house. After all, they were all close relatives. If he didn't go back a few days ago, his aunt would definitely be unhappy when he knew it.
After leaving the door, he mentally sensed that no one was nearby, so Li Wen picked up a sack from the space.
There are pre-packaged lamb legs, milk powder, several southern fruits, as well as small electronic products and special health medicines from Li Wen's own company.
I haven’t been back for four or five years, and my aunt’s home has not changed much.
As for the change, it may be that the original dark wooden door has some paint peeling off, which is a sign of time.
Li Wen was not polite and pushed the door open directly.
"Young man, who are you?"
My eldest uncle, Zhao Hongjun, was cleaning up a broken bench in the yard. When he saw Li Wen come in, he was so stunned that he didn't recognize him.
"Uncle, it's me, Li Wen. I haven't been back for several years. Today I'm here to see you and my aunt." Li Wen walked into the yard with a smile while carrying the sack.
"Oh! Xiaowen, I haven't been back in the past few years, you have changed a lot. Uncle, I am getting old, and I didn't recognize you for a moment.
Liberation, liberation, come out quickly and see who is coming." Zhao Hongjun stood up and shouted into the house.
"Come here, come here, what kind of distinguished guest is in the house! You are shouting." After a while, a middle-aged woman in an apron walked out of the door quickly.
If this person isn't Li Wen's aunt Li Xiulan, then who is she?
"Gu!"
Li Wen looked at his aunt Li Xiulan and came forward to greet her cordially.
"Awen, you're back! You miss me so much." Li Xiulan saw Li Wen rushing over and grabbed Li Wen's arms with both hands.
