At one o'clock in the morning, the county town had fallen into a deep sleep. His father drove home and Wei Qingfan sat in the passenger seat. After the first enthusiasm and greetings, Wei Qingfan took a closer look and said with a smile: "Dad, what are you doing?"
You still feel unskilled in driving?"
Wang Shuhua said first: "He usually refuses to drive because he says your car consumes too much gas."
Wei Qingfan said with a smile: "Then you can change to a fuel-efficient one."
"You gotta do it!"
Wei Peng said angrily, "You don't have a car yet? How much fuel does a car cost?"
"If you drive more often and become familiar with it, you will save fuel. Even experienced drivers know how to save fuel."
"Then you still have to use fuel to practice it?"
"Then why else buy a car?"
"Didn't you burn it when you had money?"
"..."
Li Wanyi chatted with Wang Shuhua in the back, and then sent a message back to Li Wanyun, telling her to go to bed quickly.
Then I returned to Wei Qingfan's house. The living room without heating seemed extremely cold, but every air seemed to be alive with lively joy, and the yellow flowers were wagging their tails, swaying here and there.
Wang Shuhua cooked another bowl of hand-made noodles and chatted casually. After the two of them finished eating, she asked them to go to bed quickly.
Although she knew that the two lived together in the capital, they were not married after all. When they arrived at home, Wang Shuhua still prepared two rooms. She was worried that the two of them were young and ignorant and would get pregnant first. At the same time, it also showed respect for Li Wanyi.
How they sleep outside is a matter for their young people. When they come home, it represents the attitude of their elders and family.
Li Miaoyu and Li Wanyi would sleep alone every once in a while. Wei Qingfan had really not slept alone for a while. He lay down on the bed and slept very comfortably.
It feels so good to occupy a bed by myself!
He secretly sighed in his heart, of course this is also a besieged city. If he had to share a bed with one person all the time, he would rather make a bed on the floor and find someone else to sleep on.
After a good night's sleep, Wei Qingfan felt energetic when he woke up the next morning. He saw that it was already eight o'clock, so he didn't bother to go to bed anymore. He put on his clothes and left the room. He saw the familiar living room on the second floor.
Inside, the door to senior sister’s room is still closed.
He had a vague illusion of going back in time, and then he walked to the door of the room, naturally stretched out his hand and pushed it open, and found that there was no one on the bed.
When I came out of the room, I heard footsteps going upstairs. Then a familiar charming face appeared on the stairs. I glanced at him and said, "Are you up? Wash your face and eat."
Wei Qingfan agreed and then asked, "When did you get up?"
"I just got up."
Li Wanyi turned around and went downstairs coolly, then turned her back to him and waved, "Hurry up!"
"Why does it feel like I'm at your home..."
Wei Qingfan grunted and went to the bathroom to wash up.
The house uses a solar water heater, so it’s not very hot in the morning in winter. Fortunately, he used to brush his teeth and wash his face with cold water in the morning in winter. Now he’s not so pampered that he quickly washes up and even uses his senior’s facial cleanser.
He glanced at his face.
"Mom, do you want to replace the electric water heater?"
When we came downstairs, Li Wanyi was helping to carry the dishes and chopsticks, and Wei Qingfan said something to his mother.
….
"No, isn't this good?"
Wang Shuhua rejected her son's lavish offer without hesitation, "You have to use electricity to use the electric water heater, and you're not at home all year round."
"Don't you use it with my dad?"
"I'm used to it. Besides, isn't it good now? It's still warm when I wake up in the morning..."
Wei Qingfan curled his lips and was about to persuade him again when the voices of his grandparents were heard outside, so he went out to welcome him.
"Grandpa, grandma~ The rice is just right, let's eat together."
He smiled and showed his attentiveness, and Li Wanyi followed behind and sweetly greeted the two old people, "Grandpa~Grandma~"
"Hey~"
When the two old men saw their grandchildren and their wives coming back, their faces with gradually deepening wrinkles looked younger with smiles.
Much lighter, Grandpa waved his hand and said: "We have already eaten, you can eat."
The old man got up early. Wei Peng must have finished eating when he called for dinner. He came over to see and talk to his grandson and granddaughter-in-law.
"Grandpa, grandma, do you want some more?"
After the family of four sat down, Li Wanyi said hello again while chatting, expressing her care and kindness.
"Just eat it, we brought it here."
The two old men did not feel impatient. On the contrary, they enjoyed the greeting and smiled as they watched her sit next to Wei Qingfan and eat.
Huanghua Lie probably felt too cold, so he stopped lying on the ground and wandered around the table.
Wei Qingfan did not let him down. After being scolded by his mother, Wei Qingfan secretly gave him a few pieces of meat.
Li Wanyi looked down at it and said with a smile: "Is it cold at home? It doesn't even lie on the ground anymore? I remember it would lie on the ground in the summer."
Grandma smiled and said, "I must be too cold."
Wei Qingfan also pouted and said, "It's a dog, not a stupid dog."
Li Wanyi suspected that he was sarcastic, but in his family, she wanted to maintain her image as a good wife and did not want to be punished by words. She gave him a look and let him go.
After finishing the meal, Li Wanyi went upstairs to bring some gifts specially brought from the capital, mainly supplements for the elderly, which Li Miaoyu bought together before leaving the capital. They were reimbursed by the public account, in triplicate, calcium supplement, protein supplement
and ginseng—that’s why I brought two suitcases.
Because winter clothes took up too much space, Wei Qingfan only wore a down jacket and didn't even bring a replacement jacket.
After putting down the gifts and chatting for a while, Wei Qingfan drove Li Wanyi home.
"Do you know the way?"
On the way, Wei Qingfan asked worriedly, "Would you like to call Wanyun or Cheng'an and ask for directions?"
Li Wanyi's new house has been built and her family has moved in.
Originally, I wanted to wait for Li Wanyi to come back, but she came too late. If I waited for her, I would delay the New Year, so I moved in early.
Li Wanyi, who was originally feeling a little emotional when she looked at the fields on the roadside, rolled her eyes angrily: "That's my home, how can I not know the road?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wei Qingfan smiled and said: "It's a new house, you haven't lived in it before."
"Then I know the place too."
Li Wanyi felt that his head was caught in the door, "Your family has built a new house in the village, do you know where it is?"
"Of course I know, but you may not."
….
Li Wanyi ignored him, looked at the endless farmland and green wheat on the roadside, and sighed: "I thought I was going home to farm... From now on, we will get married, marry a man, and live the same life as my mother.
"
"impossible."
Wei Qingfan sneered, "Gold will shine wherever it goes. The reason why you are like this is not because you met me, but because you are gold."
"I also said that it was just what I thought at the time, and I didn't really want to live like this for the rest of my life."
Li Wanyi rolled her eyes at him, "I will definitely go out...I don't want my children to grow up in the same environment as me."
Wei Qingfan looked at her suspiciously.
Li Wanyi asked: "What's wrong?"
"Why have you been mentioning the child lately?"
Wei Qingfan was a little doubtful, "Do you want a child? Or do you have one secretly?"
"As big as you!"
Li Wanyi wanted to hit him, but she sighed again and complained: "It's not your fault...Didn't you tell me that we had a son in your dream..."
Wei Qingfan's mind was inexplicably reminded of the absurd dream he had some time ago. In the dream, he and Jiang Qinghuai fell in love and got married, and they had a daughter. They even named her "Wei Jianjia."
He quickly put the dream away and said with a smile: "You don't want to wait until the age in the dream to have children, do you?"
Li Wanyi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "
That's right...we got married so early. If we got pregnant early, wouldn't it be him?"
"The probability is one in hundreds of millions. Even if you wait until that age, who knows, it still won't be him..."
Wei Qingfan was a little amused, "No, he doesn't exist at all... He is the one born of our husband."
"I don't want to deal with you anymore."
Li Wanyi was a little angry. She leaned on the back of her chair and looked at the familiar but unfamiliar New Year scenes in the plains. Occasionally passing by the village, she could see children running and playing in the cold winter. There were piles of firewood piled on the roadside and walls, and some that looked very strange.
Telephone poles that affect the look and feel...
She whispered again: "It's so strange. Why did time seem to go so slowly when I was a child, and now it suddenly seems to go so fast?"
"It means you have grown up."
Wei Qingfan looked at her with a smile, and then added: "Although you have always been big."
"roll!"
Arriving near Lizhuang, Li Wanyi asked Wei Qingfan to turn around in advance and drive towards the south of the village.
This road is right next to the village, with village houses on one side, the sound of firecrackers, the sound of fighting, and the aroma of croquettes, which makes it feel like celebrating the New Year.
"Slow down~ I'm an uncle."
A middle-aged couple wearing thick winter clothes walked towards them. Li Wanyi asked Wei Qingfan to slow down the car, lowered the window and said, "Uncle Tian~Auntie~"
"Ah? Wanyi?"
"When did you come back?"
The couple greeted Wei Qingfan in surprise, then looked at Wei Qingfan.
"Hello uncle, hello aunt!"
"This is my boyfriend."
Wei Qingfan also said hello with a smile, listened to Li Wanyi's introduction to him, exchanged a few words of greetings, and left to continue walking.
"It's just ahead."
The new house of Li Wanyi's family is in the south of the village. This seems to be the place where new houses are built in the village. There are several other houses nearby that are obviously newer.
….
Needless to say, Wei Qingfan knew where he was, because Li's father and mother were chatting with people on the roadside.
A group of people obviously saw the car coming here. They looked through the car window and saw Wei Qingfan and Li Wanyi. Li's mother pointed with her hand, indicating that the courtyard door was open and they could drive the car directly into the courtyard.
"Uncle~Auntie~"
How could Wei Qingfan drive in directly? Since there was no car behind him, he stopped the car first to say hello.
There were acquaintances in the crowd, including Fat Brother and his father, whom he had met for the first time at Li Wanyi's house, and some whom he did not recognize. Wei Qingfan followed Li Wanyi and greeted them anyway.
Father Li was leaning on a cane, his face was rosy, and he looked in good spirits and in good spirits. He was not at all as haggard as he had been a few years ago. With a smile on his face, he also helped Wei Qingfan introduce his neighbors.
"So tall!"
"She looks good, fair and clean..."
Wei Qingfan was already familiar with Wei Qingfan in his original residence, but after moving to a new home, he seemed to have become the new son-in-law. His aunties and aunts greeted him, and some neighbors heard the news and came out to watch.
After getting a little more familiar, someone asked for further information:
"Are you ready to get married?"
"Say you both open companies in the capital?"
"What do you do?"
Some people lowered their voices while chatting, but could still hear them asking: "Is this car bought for you? Is this a Mercedes-Benz?"
These are either close neighbors or relatives and friends, and they meet each other without looking up. However, whether in the city or in the countryside, human relationships and life are the same. Under the harmony and joy, there are blessings, envy and jealousy.
Li Wanyi’s family moved from the north of the village to the south of the village, which seems to hint at their family’s fate from a certain angle:
Originally, the family's life was not rich, but it was not too bad either. After all, her family had to raise three children, but similar situations were not uncommon in the village, and they were certainly not the worst.
Li's father had an accident and became disabled, but the family, which was not in a good situation, was almost destroyed. When people talked about this incident, they sighed and expressed sympathy and pity.
The fate of the entire family and the three children seems to be predictable. There are too many such examples in any village.
However, no one expected that just when everyone thought this family was in the most difficult situation, Fu Ji Tai would come!
First, Li Wanyi, who was about to drop out of school and work, took the first place in the county and became the first "top scholar" in the village. She was also the top female scholar. She went to college again with a scholarship.
Then she hooked up with a very rich boyfriend, gave him a car, a house, and started a company, which made the originally poor Li family benefit from it, and they became rich at a speed that everyone could see and envy.
——In the past two years, there have been rumors that even her scholarship was embezzled by the then principal. She got it back by relying on her boyfriend's family connections, and she even gave it to the then principal.
Various rumors may be true or false, but it is a fact that people's lives are getting better and better. Didn't you see that even Li's father, who had been waiting for death at home all day after being disabled, started to go out for a walk? His face was full of smiles all day long.
Healthy people still have energy!
Isn’t it just that there is hope for the future?
Anyone who puts it on will be free of all diseases!
….
When you are down and out, there is sympathy and ridicule, and when you are prosperous, there is naturally envy and jealousy. Of course, most of the enthusiasm in such situations is true, but some darkness and jealousy are also normal.
Even Li Wanyi a few years ago would not have stage fright, not to mention that now she has slowly begun to show the confidence and aura of a strong woman. Her expression was slightly shy, but more of a sweet smile. She responded one by one, and finally looked at it again.
Looking at the still shiny car next to him, he smiled casually and said, "No, that Mercedes-Benz is in Beijing and hasn't come here yet. This one is an Audi. It was given to me when I was in college."
Wei Qingfan couldn't help turning his head to look at her.
She has a sweet side like a little bird, but she is still tough and independent at heart. It is rare to see her act like "my boyfriend is very nice to me, so I am very proud".
It has to be said that with the addition of Yu Jie and Qiang Ren, when she showed this posture, he enjoyed it very much and felt a sense of accomplishment.
Li Wanyi seemed to notice his gaze, glanced at him, and then continued to chat with the elders in the neighborhood with a sweet smile.
Li Wanyun and Li Chengan heard the commotion outside and led several boys and girls out of the courtyard. They were chattering and the courtyard gate became even more noisy and lively.
After a few more pleasantries, we entered the courtyard. Wei Qingfan came to the new courtyard for the first time. He looked around and saw that it was a large courtyard that ran from north to south. There were three two-story buildings facing north and south. There was still an east room and another in the west.
Behind the small gate is farmland.
He followed into the living room downstairs. There were two large living rooms connected to each other. They were equipped with a refrigerator, a TV, new tables and chairs, a sofa, and a coffee table. They were clean, spacious and bright, and were completely different from the old and cramped old house.
Wei Qingfan was naturally happy, carried his things into the house, sat on the sofa, and talked with him while holding a cup of hot tea.
Li Wanyi sat next to him, watching him talk to his family with a smile on her face. She felt that her body and mind were surrounded by a sense of contentment and happiness that "life is like this, what else can I ask for".
If so, it seems like one child is missing...or two?
