The New Year's Eve of 1993 was the most comfortable time Li Manjun had spent in so many years.
Li Daniu and his wife made a lot of money this year by selling box lunches. The old people in the family were very excited when they saw the young people making money.
I was in a good mood, everything I said was nice, and the family spent the New Year's Eve in harmony.
The only slightly unpleasant thing was that Li Lanfang followed her boyfriend Zheng Xiaoyou back to his house for the New Year. Qian Shufen and Li Dalong were particularly angry. During the New Year, their faces turned ugly when they heard Li Lanfang's name.
Although they were said to be a family, they were separated by one layer after all. It was hard for Li Manjun to comment on this, although she also felt that Li Lanfang was a little impulsive.
Li Lanfang didn't go home until the second day of junior high school. As soon as she got home, she was scolded.
Li Dalong picked up a fire stick and wanted to beat her, saying that she was shameless and went home with the man to celebrate the New Year before she was married or engaged. Li Daniu hurriedly stopped his father and told his sister to run away.
Li Lanfang had just arrived home and before she could sit down, she turned around and ran back to the town.
It was very cold, Zheng Xiaoyou was still at his home, and the small clothing factory they ran together was closed. Li Lanfang walked around the street twice before going to his second uncle's house.
Last year, Li Manjun didn't go to her grandmother's house. This year, Li Manjun planned to take her children back to meet her uncle and grandpa. The family was packing up the New Year's gifts and planning to go out, when there was a knock on the door.
Li Jianjun went to open the door and when he saw Li Lanfang, he glanced outside subconsciously and said, "Huh? Sister Lanfang, are you the only one?"
"Who is coming?" Wang Xiaojuan shouted from inside the room.
Li Jianjun rushed into the room and called out that it was Sister Lanfang, then turned around and hurriedly greeted Li Lanfang to come in.
"Uncle, aunt." Li Lanfang called in embarrassment. When she caught a glimpse of Li Manjun and Zhao Yong coming out of the room with their children in their arms, she quickly shouted: "Sister, brother-in-law."
Li Jianjun didn't know why Li Lanfang came alone, but Li Manjun and others had almost guessed it.
Wang Xiaojuan asked worriedly: "Are you going home?"
Li Lanfang nodded, "Well, dad wanted to beat me to death, but my brother asked me to leave first, so I came out."
Wang Xiaojuan and Li Dawei looked at each other and could only sigh.
Li Dawei is an uncle, so it's not easy to ask his niece anything. When he sees someone who has nothing to do, he just asks her if she has had breakfast.
Li Lanfang shook his head. He hadn't eaten yet. He took the shuttle bus back home early in the morning and wanted to eat at home. But before he could eat, he was punched out when he entered the door.
Thinking of this, Li Lanfang's eyes turned red with grievance.
Li Manjun handed her daughter to Zhao Yong, and together with Li Lijun took Li Lanfang into the room to sit down.
Wang Xiaojuan sighed, cooked some noodles for her and brought them in, "Lan Fang, either Auntie is talkative, or you and your little friend have been getting along for a year. What did his family say?"
Whether you are planning to get married or whether you want to delay marriage by a few years, you must have an explanation.
In Wang Xiaojuan's view, in their time, the only way to fall in love was to get married. The man would take the woman home, and if the elders in the family were satisfied, they would immediately get things started.
Even if Li Dawei was not liked by his parents at that time, Mrs. Li would still go to her parents' house to ask.
For someone like my niece, they have been together for a year and they went to the husband's house to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Knowing that she is going home, it is wrong to let her go home alone.
Li Lanfang was really hungry, so she finished the noodles in a big gulp, and then said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't say anything, I just told us young people to make the decision ourselves. If we think about it clearly, tell them, and they will take care of it."
Li Lijun asked hurriedly: "Did you tell me?"
Li Lanfang nodded, "My friend said it, and auntie said yes."
"Then what?" Li Manjun frowned, "Why did I let you come back alone this time? Have I prepared a New Year's gift for you to bring back?"
Wang Xiaojuan also asked: "Yes, did you bring anything back?"
"My second grade junior high school friend is going to his grandma's house, so I'll go back by myself first." Li Lanfang shook her head in embarrassment, "Aunt Nianli prepared it, but I said no."
Wang Xiaojuan immediately rolled her eyes, "My silly girl, they didn't give it to you even if you said you didn't want it. No wonder your parents are so angry! They didn't take fancy to you..."
"Ahem!" Li Manjun coughed twice and interrupted her mother's words. Only then did Wang Xiaojuan realize that what she said was too heart-wrenching and she felt uncomfortable making up for it, "It's nothing, but my aunt thinks it's not polite for their family to do this.
.”
How can someone take it seriously after being polite?
I don’t intend to actually give anything away at all!
Zhao Yong asked softly outside the door: "Manjun, are you okay? If you don't leave, you won't be able to come back tonight."
On the second day of junior high school, she had to go back to her parents' home. Li Lanfang said hurriedly: "Aunt, you go ahead. I'll be home in a while."
"Farewell, just stay here with peace of mind. We'll talk when you get back in the evening. Lijun won't go, so I'll stay here with you. You two can get some food for yourselves and stay well." Wang Xiaojuan warned.
Li Lanfang nodded, she really didn't dare to go home now.
Also, Li Manjun, mother and daughter, immediately confused her. Thinking back on the attitude of her boyfriend's family, they couldn't believe it and at the same time felt even more aggrieved.
Li Lijun really wanted to go to her grandmother's house, but she had no choice but to not go. Besides, the car couldn't accommodate so many people. She originally planned to stay at home with Li Jianjun.
"Then why don't I take Nian Nian with me?" Li Lijun suggested.
Li Manjun and Zhao Yong looked at each other and said, that's fine. Next time, they will take Nian Nian to see their uncle and grandpa. They came and went in a hurry today, fearing that the child would suffer.
So, leaving his daughter with his aunt, Li Manjun and his party set off.
Went there in the middle of the morning and didn't get home until dark in the evening.
Li Lijun took Nian Nian, and Li Lanfang were cooking dinner for three people in the kitchen. At noon, the village called, and it was Li Daniu. Knowing that her sister was at her second uncle's house, she felt relieved.
】
He also warned: "You can come back after your parents calm down. They haven't calmed down yet."
"Oh, by the way, Mom asked you to tell me the phone number of Zheng Xiaoyou's house. She wants to call and ask them what they mean."
When Li Lanfang and Li Lijun heard this, one was flustered and the other excited. Li Lijun was deeply aware of his aunt's fighting power, so now she was in for a good show.
Li Lanfang didn't dare not give it. She also wanted to know what her boyfriend's mother meant. She was young and didn't understand these etiquettes, but she shouldn't understand them as someone who has been through it. Did she do this deliberately because she didn't like her?
Li Lijun looked at Li Lanfang's helpless look and sighed in her heart. Her cousin was so naive.
Qian Shufen's ability to act was very powerful, and she got results immediately.
When Li Manjun and others arrived home in the evening, the phone rang at home. Qian Shufen asked Li Lanfang to come home immediately and break up with Zheng Xiaoyou!
"We are so good, why do you want us to break up? I know you don't like my little friend, but he is really good to me, so I recognize him!" Li Lanfang said while crying.
Li Lijun took a breath and whispered to her sister: "Our mother won't do this to me in the future, right?"
It is unreasonable for elders to force children to separate if they don't like it.
Li Manjun said firmly: "There should be a problem with Zheng Xiaoyou's parents. We all know my mother-in-law's character. She would never be like this if she didn't meet in-laws who couldn't be manipulated by her."
