Chapter 98 Officially moved into the county seat

"Congratulations to Deyou, your son Awen bought you a house as soon as he walked in." As soon as he walked in, his eldest uncle Zhao Hongjun complimented Li Deyou with a smile.

"Haha, why are you so happy? I don't live in this house." When Li Deyou heard his brother-in-law complimenting him, his mouth tilted to the base of his ears.

"Hey! That's different. From now on, when you come to the county town, you won't go to the county town, but back to the county town. Can this be the same?" Zhao Hongjun said with a cheerful smile.

Li Deyou felt happy when he heard what his brother-in-law said. He used to come to the county either to visit relatives or to ask for help.

In the past few years, the family was in trouble, and the eldest sister and brother-in-law did not stop helping them. They came more often, and every time they came to the eldest sister's house in the county town, their brothers' faces burned and they didn't like coming to the county town.

Zhao Hongjun said this today, which greatly satisfied his vanity. From now on, his old Li family will also have a house in the city, and he will no longer be a passerby.

"After the children are stable, it will be better if you two and my aunt come to live in the county directly." At this time, Zhao Hongjun mentioned it again.

"Ah! Forget it, we farmers are not used to living here. Besides, we have a rural household registration. If we don't farm, what will we eat?" Li Deyou didn't think so far and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Dad, society will always change. How can we predict what will happen in the future? If the economy becomes rich in the future, you can still buy food without food stamps like you did when you were a child. You and my mother live in the city.

There's no problem at home." Li Wen said with a smile.

"What you said is all about the future. Who knows what will happen in the future. Besides, your mother and I have to support your younger brothers and sisters, so your father and I can no longer enjoy the life of city dwellers." Li Deyou said with emotion.

Li Deyou did not think so far ahead. Little did he know that after a few decades, almost all the young people in the village had left. Most of the old people had also been taken to live in the city, and the village could be said to be empty of all ten rooms.

"Deyou, I heard from Awen that my aunt came to the county today. Why didn't she see anyone?" Zhao Hongjun looked around.

"After traveling for several hours today and busy all morning, my mother is a little tired. She is sleeping in the house right now." Li Deyou said and pointed to the room.

"Okay, let me take a look around the house first. I haven't been here since Awen bought the house yesterday." Zhao Hongjun said and started to visit the yard with a few children.

"Chunmei, Yanzi, you are cooking. I will trouble you this noon." Zhao Hongjun walked to the kitchen to take care of her.

"Brother-in-law, are you off work? You came here at noon today to help the children gain popularity. You came to the yard and it was too late for us to be happy. Why are you so polite?"

"Brother-in-law, please go and sit in front first. We'll have dinner in a while." Grandma Wang Chunmei smiled and greeted Zhao Hongjun and his son.

"Awen, come in, take out the thermos bottle, and pour some tea for your uncle and the others." Wang Chunmei said and handed the thermos bottle filled with boiling water to Li Wen.

"This house is very nice, and the area is small. It's worth buying." Zhao Hongjun, who was drinking tea, commented on the house with a smile.

"It's time to eat. Xiaojuan, please call your grandma. It's time to eat." Aunt Li Xiulan walked out of the kitchen.

"Um!"

The little girl ran towards the room in the middle room with her short legs.

"When did you Red Army arrive?" the old lady who came out of the room looked at Zhao Hongjun and his son and asked with a smile.

"Auntie, we have just arrived. We haven't seen each other for several years, and you are still so strong." Zhao Hongjun hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"I'm in good health. I haven't been to the county town for decades, so I came to your house today to see if you are good to my little girl." The old lady joked with a smile.

"Auntie, Xiulan is the head of our family. If you don't believe me, ask Jiefang and Shufen Shuping." Zhao Hongjun answered with a smile.

"It's time to eat. Why are you talking nonsense in front of my mother all day?" Li Xiulan came up with the dishes and rolled her eyes at Zhao Hongjun.

When all the food was ready, Li Wen and Zhao Jiefang came back carrying drinks.

"Why buy wine and drinks? It's too expensive." Li Xiulan took a look and found that Li Wen was carrying a bottle of Xifeng wine and Zhao Jiefang was carrying a bag of frozen soda.

"I'm happy to be moving today, and Xiaojuan also wants a drink, so I'll have a drink to celebrate." Li Wen defended with a smile.

"Sister, don't worry, my brother-in-law and I will have some drinks today." Li Deyou waved his hand and hurriedly took the Xifeng wine from Li Wen's hand.

"Come, brother-in-law, let's have some drinks. This Xifeng wine is good, much better than our local Weihe Daqu." Li Deyou stood up and was about to pour the wine.

"Uncle, let me do it. What's the point of asking you to pour me wine?" Zhao Jiefang hurriedly took the bottle.

"Okay, I listen to you, your dad and I will just drink today." Li Deyou waved his hand and said.

Here Li Wen gave each of the non-drinkers a bottle of soda.

"The meal for lunch today is really rich, including braised noodles, braised pork, and some stir-fried vegetables." Li Wen picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Okay, let's eat and ignore them drinking." Li Xiulan looked at the three people drinking on the other side of the table as if they were dead after seeing the wine.

Because Zhao Hongjun and Zhao Jiefang had to go to work in the afternoon, Li Deyou drank most of the half kilogram of wine.

"Today's pork is really delicious. It's much more enjoyable than the meat dumplings in the noodles yesterday." Zhao Shuping picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into her mouth happily.

"You are also a glutton. Who said yesterday that meat sauce is delicious?" Li Xiulan rolled her eyes at Zhao Shuping.

After seeing off the few people who had finished their meal, Li Deyou drank some wine and felt sleepy, so he went back to his room to sleep.

In the afternoon, Li Wen took a group of family members for a walk around the county town and bought some daily necessities.

"Awen, let's go back then. When you go out, be sure to lock the doors and windows. Your father and I will come to see you after a while." Wang Chunmei told Li Wen while sitting on the bullock cart.

"Mom, I understand, you go back! Dad, be careful on the road." Li Wen waved goodbye to his family.

"Awen, the eldest aunt has gone back first. Come to my aunt's house for dinner tonight." After giving Li Wen a few words, Li Xiulan also went home. She also had to paste matchboxes, and she was usually very busy.

After sending everyone away, Li Wen was tired from the day and went straight back to his room to take a nap. In the evening, Li Wen locked the door and rode his bicycle to his aunt's house.

After dinner, Li Wen gave Li Wu and Li Quan each a key.

"Awen, your second brother and I will pack things tonight and move them there tomorrow." Li Wu said as everyone sitting in the living room chatted.

"Brother, the house has been cleaned anyway. You can just move your luggage there whenever you are free." Li Wen said while cracking melon seeds and playing backgammon with Zhao Shuping.

When it got dark, Li Wen pushed his bicycle out of his aunt Li Xiulan's house.

Now that his room and bedding have been arranged, there is no need to squeeze in at his aunt's house. Besides, Li Wen has something to do tonight.
