Li Manjun nodded heavily. She felt that what Li Langui said made sense! The eldest aunt was indeed such a person.
I just don’t know if my sister-in-law will feel uncomfortable.
The three cousins obviously thought of something. Li Dalong and Qian Shufen were indeed not good, but the sister-in-law had not offended any of them.
Finally, the three of them came to the gold store and prepared gifts according to their respective financial situations.
Li Manjun bought a necklace, Li Lanfang bought a small gold lock, and Li Langui picked a zodiac lucky bead bracelet.
It has been several years, and the price of gold has not risen much. Li Manjun remembers that the gold flower Zhao Yong gave him when he got married was 91 grams. Now, almost five years later, it is only 93 grams.
But compared with everyone's current salary situation, the price of gold per gram is still expensive. If you sell it for three or four grams, your monthly salary will be gone.
Especially for farmers without extra income, gold is an expensive luxury product.
Li Langui bought it with gritted teeth. She broke up with her family when she got married, and her life was actually quite comfortable in those years. But in recent years, things have eased, and they have started to interact with each other. Unexpectedly, they received another favor.
Li Lanfang wanted to give something to her sister. She is now running her own clothing factory with Zheng Xiaoyou and has saved a lot in the past two years. This is why Qian Shufen specifically told her to buy more gold.
To put it bluntly, I know that my daughter-in-law and son-in-law are rich, so I want them to give me as much as they can afford.
Li Langui didn't ask her sister for any money. She had a strong self-esteem and swallowed all the hardships. Li Lanfang was afraid that she would be angry, so he had no choice but to let her go.
I thought that my sister also has children at home, and I will buy some gold jewelry for my children to subsidize it if I have the opportunity in the future.
The three sisters bought things and went to Li Manjun's house for lunch together. After the meal, they set off from Li Manjun's house back to their hometown in the countryside.
Before leaving, Li Manjun called Zhao Yong and told him not to forget to pick up his daughter from school.
Zhao Yong sounded very busy on the other end and hurriedly told her to drive carefully on the road before hanging up.
"It's better for you." Li Langui sighed and looked at Li Manjun with envy.
Li Manjun smiled, not answering the conversation, and concentrated on driving.
Li Lanfang sat in the back seat and responded: "This is because Sister Manjun has her own abilities."
"By the way, sister, hasn't my brother-in-law gone out to work this year?"
Li Langui shook his head, "Everyone else has gone, but he refused, saying that he has no ability and can't find any work if he goes. It's better to farm at home and be more practical."
Li Langui's husband is an honest and responsible person, but he is too honest. Sometimes he feels dull and his receptivity to new things is also very low.
Nowadays, young people in the village go out to work after junior high school and work in factories to make money. When they come back at the end of each year, they have changed their appearance, made money, and gained knowledge. They are really different from those who stayed in the village.
Those people seem to have hope for life, and the better they can get through it.
Li Langui was moved when she saw it. She really wanted to go out to work, but when she saw the child's pleading eyes, she softened her heart.
The family raised chickens, ducks, pigs and geese, and they needed someone to take care of them. Li Langui wanted her husband to work during his spare time.
It's a pity that she didn't want to talk about it, and she even said that she disliked his family's poverty and looked down on him.
What else can Li Langui do? Let’s serve it cold!
"Lan Fang, when I saw your brother-in-law, I knew that some people are poor for a reason." Li Langui joked helplessly.
[Currently used, it is the most comprehensive and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
Li Langui nodded, "It's quite close. It's only half an hour's walk away."
Li Manjun smiled, "Then your village is in a very good location. The chickens and ducks you raise and the fruits you grow can all be sold at the expressway exit."
"Nowadays, city people like to go to the countryside most. After weekends, they like to go to any place that can be reached by car. Farm chickens, ducks, and eggs, as long as they are original, are sold better than in shopping malls in the city.
People buy the ones that are more expensive and more expensive.”
Li Manjun suggested: "You go build a shed and get a good location. When the road opens later, you might be able to sell the things at home."
Li Langui opened his eyes in surprise, "Is it really possible?"
Li Lanfang also became excited, sat forward a little, patted her sister on the shoulder and said firmly: "Why not, it will definitely work!"
"Sister, let's try it first. When so many people pass by, even if they don't have chickens and ducks, they will still need water, right? You can still sell mineral water!"
Li Manjun nodded in agreement, "What Lan Fang said is also very good. Anyway, it's all owned by the family. If it doesn't sell, it won't be a loss. Just treat it as a walk."
Li Manjun even dared to think, "Maybe we can open a farmhouse in the future. Aren't you growing lotus roots in your village? The large lotus flowers in summer are also a gimmick."
"Farmhouse?" Li Langui asked curiously: "What is a farmhouse?"
Li Langui also looked at Li Manjun: "Sister Manjun, what is a farmhouse?"
Li Manjun didn't expect that neither of them knew what a farmhouse was. It might be because the villages around Heather Town were relatively underdeveloped and there were no tourist destinations.
Patiently explained to the two of them what a farmhouse is.
Li Langui suddenly realized, "It turns out to be a small country hotel!"
Li Lanfang clicked her tongue and sighed, "City people are really good at playing. They don't want to go to such high-end hotels. They like to go to the country fly restaurants. What's so delicious about the food in the country?"
They are all vegetables grown at home, and the varieties are always the same every year, such as vegetables, radishes, eggplants, cucumbers, pumpkins, etc. They come in rotation throughout the year, and I get tired of eating them early.
Li Manjun couldn't help but chuckle. For people like them who grew up in rural areas, it was really not interesting.
But for people who grew up in the city, the experience of farmhouse is still very special. It is close to nature, purely natural, green and pollution-free.
While talking and laughing, Hongxing Village arrived.
As soon as we entered the village, we could hear the noise in the village. Today is a meal preparation, and tomorrow will be the main meal at noon, but all the relatives and friends who can come have almost arrived.
Thirty tables were set up for the meal, but the flat dam in front of Lao Li's house couldn't accommodate them, so the tables and benches were placed in the field.
There were piles of straw piled up in the farmland where the rice had been harvested, and the children were playing on the straw piles, making it very lively.
"My eldest sister is here!" Li Xiaoniu shouted from the haystack, jumped into the field, and ran excitedly towards the road.
As soon as Li Manjun parked the car, Li Xiaoniu's face came up to the glass, "Hey," he smiled at her with big white teeth: "Sister!"
