After finding her sister-in-law, Wei Qingfan tried to find her brother-in-law among the people next to her. Finally, Mohu found a boy who was two years younger than her sister-in-law and had just entered the first grade of junior high school this year.
There are three Li Wanyi siblings. In fact, there was another one after her, but they had three girls in succession. Their parents and elders despised them and gave away their second child. After that, they gave birth to a fourth child, who finally turned out to be a boy.
My sister-in-law is in the third grade of junior high school this year and her name is Li Wanyun; my brother-in-law is in the first grade of junior high school and my name is Li Chengan.
The name was given by her grandfather, who had been a teacher and knew some words.
Next to Li Wanyun and Li Chengan, there were two children of about the same age who seemed to be their playmates and came to join in the fun.
Wei Qingfan slowed down the car and approached, lowered the window, stopped, and asked with a smile: "Li Wanyun?"
Four children stood in a row on the side of the dirt road, looking well-behaved and curious. Li Wanyun nodded and said, "It's me... Are you the younger brother of my sister's classmate?"
Actually, you can just call me brother-in-law, I don’t mind...
Wei Qingfan groaned secretly, unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door and got out, with a smile on his face and said: "Yes, your sister called you?"
The brother-in-law looked very honest and kept silent. The friend next to him was very cheerful. He raised his hand and said, "The call was made to my house. He doesn't have a phone at home."
Wei Qingfan smiled and asked, "Didn't your sister leave her cell phone at home?"
Li Wanyun said with embarrassment: "I ran out of phone money, I forgot to recharge it."
"I'll recharge it for you when I get back."
Wei Qingfan smiled, opened the car door and said with a smile: "Get in the car first, you sit in front and show me the way."
Li Wanyun hesitated for a moment, took a sneak peek inside the car, then shook her head, pointed at the dirt road and houses in front of her, and said, "No, we can run faster."
"It's so hot outside, so sunny."
Wei Qingfan sighed secretly, and continued to maintain a gentle smile on his face, saying softly: "Come up, or your sister will beat me when she comes back. Come up, hurry up, or all the air conditioning will run away."
Li Wanyun looked at him again and finally nodded. Wei Qingfan opened the back door again, looked at the boy who seemed to be his brother-in-law and asked, "Are you Li Chengan?"
The brother-in-law nodded.
"boarding."
Wei Qingfan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Tell your two friends to sit in the back...they are your neighbors, right?"
"Yes." Li Chengan responded in a weak voice, and sat inside first. Next to him were two friends who looked like brothers and sisters. The elder brother was about the same age as Li Wanyun, and the younger sister was about the same age as Li Chengan.
Wei Qingfan waited for the brother and sister to sit in the back and closed the door. Li Wanyun had also sat in the passenger seat and closed the door on her own initiative.
He returned to the car, fastened his seat belt, and reminded Li Wanyun. Seeing his sister-in-law tugging on the seat belt and not knowing how to do it, he stretched out his hand to point it out to her and asked, "Is your home far away?"
"It's not far. It'll be there in a short walk."
Li Wanyun's face turned a little red, she fastened her seat belt, answered softly, and looked at him secretly, "Is your name Wei Qingfan?"
The friend at the back said very positively: "I know, Wei Xiaobao's Wei!"
"It's Wei Qingfan, but not Wei Xiaobao's Wei."
Wei Qingfan was a little funny, "Reed's reed...have you heard your sister say that?"
"Um."
Li Wanyun nodded, "My sister said she lives in your home, and your sister is Wei Qingchan..."
"You know quite a lot."
As Wei Qingfan was talking, his cell phone rang, so he connected it and played the voiceover. He said "Hello" and Li Wanyi's voice came from the other side: "Wei Qingfan, have you seen my brother and sister?"
Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "No."
Li Wanyun opened her eyes wide and turned to look at him, obviously not understanding why he was lying.
"ah?"
Li Wanyi was a little surprised, "I called them and asked them to come to the village entrance to find you, haven't they come yet?"
"No, but I'm almost there."
Wei Qingfan continued to compile, and Li Wanyun pointed to the front and said: "Turn left there in front."
Li Wanyi on the other end of the phone fell silent for a moment. Wei Qingfan glanced at his sister-in-law and said with a smile: "Senior sister, your sister is very smart."
"I'll beat you to death when you turn around!"
Li Wanyi said angrily and said, "Then I won't tell you anymore. I'm in the factory."
"Okay, then you get busy."
Wei Qingfan hung up the phone and glanced at his sister-in-law. Li Wanyun felt a little embarrassed and said, "It's really time to turn."
"I don't blame you, I was just joking with your sister."
Wei Qingfan looked at the car, slowed down and turned, and said casually: "Are you in the third grade of junior high school?"
"Um."
"How are the results?"
"Okay."
"Where is your brother?"
"It's not bad."
"It's okay or not. Your sister's grades are so good. You two only get an okay test. How embarrassing for your sister. You are the younger brother and sister who are number one in the county."
Li Chengan still didn't speak. Li Wanyun just pursed her lips and smiled, but her friend said: "How are your grades?"
Wei Qingfan smiled and said: "Not bad, worse than Li Wanyi."
The friend asked again: "Then where can you take the exam?"
"Second or third."
"Are you going to school in Fengcun?"
"Yes, my family is from Fengcun."
"I'm asking the school."
My friends probably saw him driving a car, deceiving Li Wanyi, and teaching Li Wanyun a lesson. They were a little hostile to him and spoke in a harsh tone.
Wei Qingfan smiled and said: "Of course the school is the same. Fengcun Middle School is the school in our village. It would be embarrassing if we fail to pass the exam."
The friend curled his lips and stopped talking. He paused and then said, "Then your grades are pretty good... we may not be able to pass the exam."
Wei Qingfan smiled and said: "Just try hard, you are in the third year of junior high, right? As long as the high school entrance examination is not over, you still have a chance."
"Yeah!" The friend seemed a little embarrassed and responded.
Li Wanyun pointed to the front and said, "It's right ahead."
Wei Qingfan followed the direction she pointed and saw a somewhat old courtyard on the roadside. The courtyard wall was made of red bricks and mud. It was not too high. It had a thin wooden door. It seemed that one side of the door frame was broken. It was covered with iron wire.
Tied up.
Wei Qingfan slowed down the car and asked again: "Are your parents at home?"
"Um."
Li Wanyun nodded, "It's too hot now to go to the ground."
Wei Qingfan stopped the car, and the four children also got out. Wei Qingfan took a look at the dirt road, where six or seven families were located. A yard next to it seemed to be abandoned, with the walls falling down and grass growing inside.
"It was an old man's home. He died of cancer, and no one lived in his yard. That was it."
My sister-in-law helped explain very thoughtfully, pointed to the opposite door, signaled to my friend, and said, "This is his home. In the past, I didn't have a phone at home, so I always went to his home to pick up calls."
Wei Qingfan nodded, went to open the trunk and said, "Here, help me get some things."
He took some specialties brought from Xiamen, but not many, and bought a lot more, including a bunch of food and drinks. In order to prevent his father-in-law and mother-in-law from being too slow to react, he also bought some more.
Orange banana.
In this way, it is impossible for the father-in-law and mother-in-law to think that this is really sent by Li Wanyi from Xiamen.
Of course, he would definitely say this. At most, he would say that he bought these fruits himself.
The courtyard door was unlocked. Li Chengan held the banana and pushed the door open with his body. He happily shouted into the house: "Dad! Mom~"
Wei Qingfan carried a bag in one hand and followed his sister-in-law into the courtyard. The courtyard was not big. There was a toilet in the southwest corner, a tall toon tree against the south wall, and a row of sycamores outside the west wall. Inside was a pigsty and a sheep pen.
Circle, there are three main rooms in the north, and two east rooms at the east wall. The door of one is open, and you can see a bed inside. It is probably the residence of the three siblings.
The door of the hall was open, and a middle-aged woman had already come out. Her face showed signs of hard work and years of baptism, but she could still tell that she should have had a beautiful face when she was young. This was also seen from sisters Li Wanyi and Li Wanyun.
I can tell.
There was a middle-aged man holding a cane at the door of the main room. He moved to the door and looked outside. He had a square face, a dark and thin body, and still had a strong frame, but his face looked a little haggard and sick.
"Hello, aunt, hello, uncle~"
Wei Qingfan said hello first, then raised the things in his hand and said with a smile: "Li Wanyi sent it. It was not easy to send it in your village, so he sent it to the county town and asked me to get it."
"Hey, I'm sorry to bother you."
"Sit in the room quickly."
Father Li and Mother Li hurriedly greeted each other, and Mother Li came forward to pick up the things. Wei Qingfan handed over a bag of lighter biscuits, and carried heavier wine and yogurt into the house.
The furnishings in the main room are simple, with a wooden sofa, a square table, and a few stools. There is a high table against the north wall, with an old small color TV set on it. Next to it is an equally old long table with a tea tray and kettle.
, there are several cups next to them, both enamel and glass. They seem to have just been washed and there are still water stains on them.
"Sit, sit."
Li's father had difficulty moving, so Li's mother came over first and motioned Wei Qingfan to sit down on the sofa against the east wall.
"I can sit wherever I want. Uncle and aunt, you guys can sit down."
Wei Qingfan put the things on the low table and moved a small stool to sit down. Li Wanyun put down the things and poured some water for her in a sensible manner.
Wei Qingfan thanked her hurriedly and praised his father-in-law and mother-in-law: "She is so sensible and polite. She is much better than me."
Father Li and Mother Li didn't seem to know how to respond for a while. Li Wanyun didn't seem to be used to such politeness either. She blushed a little and whispered, "No way?"
Li Chengan sent his two friends away and also entered the house. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Wei Qingfan took a sip of cold water and opened the things.
"This box is yogurt, it should be for a younger brother and sister. These two bags of milk powder, and two bags of soy milk powder, the elderly can also eat... There are also snacks and biscuits here, so just eat whatever you want...
"Here are a few books. They can read whoever wants to read them. There are also two schoolbags and two pens... They are all used for school..."
Wei Qingfan looked at it briefly, and Li's father frowned and said, "Why did she buy so many things? It's a waste..."
Without saying anything, Li's mother glared at him fiercely. Li's father was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have thought of something and stopped talking.
Wei Qingfan smiled and said: "Isn't she working part-time? She can make money, the school also provides subsidies and scholarships, and it can be wholesaled in big cities, and it's not expensive."
He explained. When he saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law, his sister-in-law and brother-in-law looked at the fruit, and said with a smile: "Oh, I bought this when I came here. By the way, my senior sister has lived in my house for a year and helped a lot.
I'm busy, my parents also asked me to bring something with me when I come."
Father Li and Mother Li looked at each other again, and Mother Li said: "No, it's too expensive... You came here from the county?"
Wei Qingfan said: "Well, it's pretty fast."
My sister-in-law was very considerate and helpful and added: "He drove the car, the one with four circles."
"It's just more convenient."
Wei Qingfan smiled at his brother-in-law and sister-in-law and said, "If you have anything to do later, or if you want to go to the county town, you can call me and I will pick you up."
"no, I'm fine."
"It's too troublesome. They usually don't go to the county seat."
Li's father and Li's mother quickly declined, and Li's mother asked again: "Are you and Wanyi... classmates?"
"No, my sister and she are classmates."
Wei Qingfan explained with a smile, speaking in a calm and coherent manner, with a gentle attitude, and a perfect example of a son-in-law, "Last year's senior...is Li Wanyi, I usually call her that, didn't she live in my house last year?
And my sister, I used to have bad grades and she had to give me extra classes.
"My grades are pretty good now, and I can get into the top three in my class in exams. My parents always say it's all thanks to my senior sister, otherwise I would still be in the middle and lower reaches of our class..."
