No matter how annoying and ignorant he usually was, facing such an expectant smiling face, Li Manjun couldn't help but hand him the cookies he brought from home.
"It's for you and my daughter, don't eat it all by yourself." Li Manjun reminded.
Li Xiaoniu said "I know, I know" and ran home with the biscuit box in hand.
After a while, he pulled a little girl towards them.
Nannan has grown up a lot and is now a primary school student. She goes to school in the city. Her dark skin has become fairer. She looks more and more like Li Daniu and has big eyes.
"First aunt, second aunt, third aunt!" Nannan called people one by one.
Li Lanfang helped her pat away the straw on her coat, responded with a sigh, and asked with a smile: "Where are your mother and brother?"
"In the house, my brother just finished eating and fell asleep again. He is sleeping better than the pigs in our house." Nannan wrinkled her nose in disgust, but the love in her eyes almost overflowed.
My brother has just turned one month old, and now he is a small, soft ball, very cute.
Li Xiaoniu came to Li Manjun specifically, patted the cookie box, and pointed at his niece, "Auntie, I told my niece that each of us has half a box of cookies, and I didn't bully her."
【In view of the general environment,
Li Manjun nodded and praised him: "Yes, this way he looks like an elder. Okay, go ahead and play. Let's go see him at home."
"Nanny, let's go!" Li Xiaoniu called to his niece, saying that she should not follow him and lead her aunts home.
Li Xiaoniu had no choice but to go play by himself. He held a large box of biscuits in his arms, and all the children from the village and relatives gathered around him. Li Xiaoniu was so frightened that he took a puff of smoke and ran back, and then he went back to the house with his three aunts.
Li Manjun secretly looked at it funny. This boy seemed to have really grown up and started to become sensible. He was not as annoying as he was when he was a child.
As soon as the three sisters Li Manjun appeared, the guests greeted them warmly.
Mainly he greeted Li Manjun with great enthusiasm, unlike a junior.
A relative who didn't understand why turned his head and asked the person next to him: "When did the daughter of Mr. Li's family receive such treatment? The director of the Hongxing Village Committee came up to shake hands with her. What's the reason?"
The informed relative pointed to the village primary school halfway up the hill opposite, "You didn't know that the daughter of Mr. Li's family has a big future. Look over there. She donated the village primary school. She is now a big boss in the city and leads the family."
I don’t know how many young people from the village come to work in the couple’s factory. Do you think the director should go up and shake hands with her?”
"So arrogant?!" The unsuspecting relative was shocked and quickly stood up, wanting to come forward and watch the excitement.
But she got up late and people had already entered the house.
"Is this my aunt? If she is so rich, why shouldn't she give her a big gold bracelet or something?" A certain aunt guessed loudly.
Well, now everyone was curious, and the originally small window was instantly crowded with seven aunts and eight aunts looking into the room.
Li Langui had a bit of a temper, so she just pulled the curtains and said, "My sister-in-law cannot see the wind during her confinement period." Then she blocked out the dozens of pairs of eyes.
Ren Yan, who was sitting by the charcoal basin, laughed and said, "Her second aunt, it is you who can control them."
Li Langui snorted at the window, "These old aunts have the most poisonous eyes. If they see it, each of them has a loudspeaker, and they will arrange the affairs of your family out without knowing when. It is the most shameful thing."
The sisters-in-law looked at each other and laughed silently. What Li Langui said was absolutely correct.
Li Manjun was the boss, so he took the lead and took out the gift he had brought and handed it to Ren Yan.
"Sister-in-law, this is a little gift from me to my nephew. You can keep it for him first."
Li Langui and Li Lanfang took advantage of the situation and took out the gifts they bought and gave them to Ren Yan.
Ren Yan was embarrassed to ask for it at first, but Li Manjun said it was for her children, so she accepted it.
Someone shouted from outside that it was time to open the dinner. The three of them looked at the children who were still sleeping and went out to eat together.
meal.
Li Dawei and Wang Xiaojuan saw their daughter and waved her over to sit at the main table in the main room.
Li Manjun asked softly: "Should I sit at the main table? That's for my uncle. My uncle is the biggest today. Isn't it appropriate for me to go?"
Li Dawei explained in a low voice, and Li Manjun realized that it was Old Man Li who asked her to accompany Ren Yanniang's family.
Wang Xiaojuan was secretly proud that her daughter was the most respectable. In the past, those who accompanied her uncle had to be the elders of the clan and the head of the family.
Li Manjun glanced at the main table. They were all members of Ren Yan's family. Only a few faces looked familiar, but she didn't actually recognize them at all.
Looking at those expectant eyes, Li Manjun could only bite the bullet.
At the dinner table, the most common question she asked was whether her company was still recruiting people and whether she wanted to find a job for her children.
Fortunately, Li Manjun has accumulated a lot of coping skills at the dinner table over the years and has been able to deal with them one by one.
After the meal was finished, it was already dark. A big lamp was lit in front of the house. Wang Xiaojuan's two sisters and Li Langui's two sisters washed the last bowl. The villagers dispersed, leaving only the relatives playing cards and bragging in the house.
Today was the biggest visitor, so the room had to be given to the guests. There was not enough room for them. The granary and utility room on the second floor were covered with straw. Anyone who was sleepy could find a place to sleep on his own.
There was no place for Li Manjun and others to sleep at home, so they could only chat until early in the morning, and then go to the car to make do.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Manjun doesn't want to go to the countryside to have a banquet. He just has to stay up late.
It's better for her to have a car and she can make do in it.
Those relatives who live far away and have inconvenient transportation have to come on the day of meal preparation and can only catch up with them during the main meal.
After finishing the main meal, we had to find a car to go back.
If you can't find it, you can only walk back by foot.
So in rural areas, it is really necessary to have a car at home.
But Li Manjun was a little unhappy when this plan hit him.
After the main banquet was laid and the guests dispersed, Lao Li's family gathered in the main room to chat.
As we chatted, we talked about Li Dawei's van.
Li Manjun was cracking melon seeds, watching TV, eyes blank, just thinking that time would pass quickly so that he could go back to the city.
"Manjun?" Qian Shufen patted Li Manjun's arm and smiled flatteringly, "How much did you spend on your dad's car? Your uncle and I think the car is very good. It can carry people and pull things. It rains."
I’m not afraid of snow, it’s much better than your broken tractor of Brother Daniu.”
Li Manjun looked up and said, "What? My uncle also wants to buy a car? My dad's is a second-hand car, which is much cheaper than a new car. It costs about 10,000 yuan, less than 20,000 yuan."
"Twenty thousand?" Qian Shufen took a breath, "Is a second-hand one still so expensive?"
Li Manjun nodded, "It's already much cheaper. There's no new car that can't be purchased for 80,000 to 90,000 yuan."
Qian Shufen and Li Dalong looked at each other. Li Dalong suddenly called Li Manjun kindly:
"Manjun, you and Xiaoyong are so rich, it's not a problem to buy your dad a new car. We country people don't mind your dad's old car, so we can use it for your brother Daniu to drive. It's the best of both worlds."
Li Manjun spit out the melon seed shells in his mouth and tasted the taste.
