Li Wenliang's son A Zhuang and Li Wenhua's son A Qiang rushed out of the kitchen one after another, greeting Li Xuedong and Li Xiaonan first.
"You're back. Wash your face and drink some tea first. That'll be good!" Li Shikuan's wife, Aunt Tang, stuck her head out from the kitchen and greeted her with a smile.
"There are no outsiders today. We are just having a meal as a family." Li Shikuan pushed Li Xuedong and Li Xiaonan into the main room.
Li Shikuan's eldest son Li Wenliang is very busy in Pingjiang City. His wife Guo, his daughter Ai Ye, and his second son's family are all busy with the business of their shop in Linhai Town. At this time, the only people in the family are Li Shikuan, his wife, his grandson A Zhuang, and
Nephew Li Wenhua’s family of four.
Li Wenhua put away the wheelbarrow and followed into the main room. When he saw Li Xiaonan sitting firmly next to Li Xuedong, he swallowed angrily.
Alas, this little Nier is spoiled by her brother and sister!
Li Wenhua's daughter-in-law, Sister-in-law Fan, was in the front, and her daughter Cui Ye was in the back. Each of them brought two plates and put them on the table.
"Cui Ye said you like to eat Tiao Tou Cake. Your mother-in-law made this specially for you. Try your mother-in-law's craftsmanship." Li Shikuan leaned over and handed the Tiao Tou Cake to Li Xiaonan.
"Cuiye said that the Tiaotou cake made by grandma is the most delicious Tiaotou cake." Li Xiaonan took the plate, stretched out her hand to hold Cuiye, and handed the plate over, "Have you tried it?"
"I've eaten it. I'll eat it as soon as it's out of the pot." Cui Ye smiled with her lips pursed, broke away from Li Xiaonan's hand, and ran out without leaving.
She especially likes Sister A'nan.
"Cuiye is one year younger than you!" Li Wenhua pointed at Cuiye's back, stared at Li Xiaonan, and said something meaningful.
"One year and two months." Li Xiaonan continued with a smile, picked up the cake, took a bite, and raised the plate towards Li Wenhua, "Does Uncle Santang like to eat cake?
"Uncle Santang thinks I'm lazy, greedy and lazy." Li Xiaonan looked at Li Shikuan and said with a smile.
Li Xuedong was carrying a teapot, adding tea to Li Shikuan, and then adding tea to Li Xiaonan.
Li Wenhua pointed at the teapot and glared: "Did I tell you wrongly? Look! Your brother is pouring you tea, you look lazy!"
Li Shikuan burst out laughing, looked at Li Xuedong and said: "Your uncle came back from the last trip and gossiped with me, saying that your eldest sister and your second sister went out early and came home late to work on the preserved egg shop. When your third sister gets married, who will give me the money?"
Are you two cooking and doing laundry? It makes your uncle in charge very worried."
"Grandma can't wash clothes and cook? How old is she!" Li Wenhua pointed at Li Xiaonan.
His uncle is also doting on this little Nier, he can see it, but he just can't help it, he is most annoyed by lazy people!
"After your uncle left, I was thinking about this." Li Shikuan ignored Li Wenhua and only watched Li Xiaonan and Li Xuedong talking. "There is an aunt in Manzifang who is also a senior student. She has been married for ten years and has never been happy.
In the middle of the year before last, her husband's family sent her back. At that time, her mother-in-law was still there. At the beginning of last year, her mother-in-law left, alas."
Li Shikuan sighed.
"She is neat and tidy, has an eye for work, and is good at cooking. I thought it would be better for her to go to Pingjiang City and take care of the housework for you."
"The eldest sister will only discuss this matter with the second sister, so I can't say anything." Li Xiaonan said honestly.
Li Xuedong nodded quickly. He was not as good as Grandma. There was almost nothing he could say about family matters.
"We will discuss it when your eldest sister comes back," Li Shikuan said with a smile.
Li Wenhua snorted angrily.
Alas, how can anyone be so spoiled with children? What does his uncle want to do?
Sister-in-law Fan and Cuiye came one after another, setting up a full table. The whole family sat down around the round table and had a lively meal.
After the meal, Li Shikuan sent Li Wenhua away and drank tea with Li Xuedong and Li Xiaonan to talk.
"Tomorrow at noon, Fengsheng and Fengfang will come together to pick you up."
Li Shikuan lowered his voice and got straight to the point.
"In the case in early August, Li Wencai was carried back with the shackles for ten days. The next day, Li Wengang took several people to Xiaoli Village and beat Li Wencai to death."
Li Xuedong's eyes widened, "Didn't we discuss that the third uncle should kneel in the ancestral hall?"
"Well, that's the clan's agreement. Li Wengang said: This beating is a lesson to the unfaithful children of their two families, the rich and powerful. Each head of the clan teaches his own children. It's hard for the clan to talk to each other."
Li Xiaonan held the teacup in both hands and listened silently.
"Li Wencai stretched out his legs and left after three or four days. Fengsheng Liangfang did not let Li Wencai enter his ancestral grave."
Li Shikuan paused in his words, looked at Li Xuedong, who was pale, and then at Li Xiaonan, who was looking down at the tea cup, and said vaguely: "Li Wencai's eldest son's family sold their land and went to live with his wife's uncle, and the second son's family also left.
Now, the third daughter-in-law has returned to her parents’ home.
"Li Wencai's eldest brother Li Wenxi has been ill. Last month, Li Wengang also fell ill, so I went to see him.
"Fengfenggang has a prosperous population, and the tree has dead branches. But we can't abandon the tree just because of the dead branches. I'll tell Li Wengang that when you come back, we can all have a meal together."
Li Shikuan paused and looked at Li Xuedong. Li Xuedong met Li Shikuan's gaze and subconsciously looked at Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan met Li Xuedong's gaze and raised her chin at Li Shikuan, "We don't understand this matter, so we have to listen to the boss."
Li Shikuan laughed, "Both brothers in Fengfeng are good, but I didn't choose the right headmaster. I have looked at them with cold eyes for more than half a year. Li Wenqing from Fengzifang and Li Wen'an from Shengzifang are good characters and smart. Tomorrow's
At the reception banquet, Xiucai Gong talked to them more and took a good look at them."
"I understand, don't worry, Weng Weng." Li Xuedong nodded hurriedly.
After half a year of experience and Hong Zhenye's advice, he has been able to accurately understand the meaning of Tang Wengweng's words: at tomorrow's reception banquet, he will vigorously promote Li Wenqing and Li Wen'an and build momentum for them to take over Fengfengliangfang. "Tomorrow's reception banquet?" Li Shikuan looked at Li Xiaonan.
"I won't go." Li Xiaonan shook her head hastily.
Li Shikuan smiled and nodded.
The next morning, Li Xuedong followed Li Shikuan to meet with Rui, several senior members of the clan. Aunt Tang took Li Xiaonan and Cuiye to the house not far from the ancestral hall, and directed Sister-in-law Fan and several members of the clan to
Neat wife, clean and tidy up.

By evening, the house was tidy and tidy inside and outside, and Li Xiaonan and Cuiye were talking and were returning from their new home to Li Shikuan's house. In the distance, a dozen horses rushed straight into the town.
The horse at the front was restrained and raised its front hooves, and a hoarse voice shouted: "Brother, please..."
"Awu!" Li Xiaonan immediately raised her arms and shouted.
"Thank you, brother!"
Ah Wu said something, jumped off his horse, and rushed to Li Xiaonan in a few steps.
"You came to see me? How did you know I was here?" Li Xiaonan looked Awu up and down.
"First we arrived at Cai Lian Lane and then at your shop. Your third sister said you were back." Ah Wu put his hands on his hips and smiled.
Wang Yuting handed the two horses to the brothers who had followed him and asked them to wait outside the town. He came over in a few steps and answered with a smile: "We went to Pingjiang City to deliver goods. We were too late when we left last time.
I was in a hurry and didn’t say hello to you."
"I know you're gone. This is my cousin, Cuiye." Li Xiaonan pulled out Cuiye who was hiding behind her and introduced her.
"Hey, how did you know we were gone? Did you go to the dock to find us?" Awu asked strangely.
"I didn't go to the dock, but I still know where you went, and..." Li Xiaonan trailed off and suddenly turned a corner, "I really envy you!"
"Envy me?" Awu pointed at the tip of his nose and his eyes widened.
"I don't envy you, I envy you for having a wife." Li Xiaonan raised her hand and patted Wang Yuting.
Cui Ye burst out laughing.
Wang Yuting blinked and pulled Li Xiaonan, "Come here."
Pulling Li Xiaonan two or three steps away, Wang Yuting and Li Xiaonan bit their ears and asked, "What did the prince tell you? Did he tell you all?"
"I didn't say everything, just a little bit."
Wang Yuting breathed a sigh of relief and stroked his chest, "That's good."
"Her surname is Wu, right? Wu Pianqing?"
Before Wang Yuting could take a breath, he whipped up violently, choking and stretching his neck.
She already knew that Wu Pianqing was there, but she didn’t even say that she was gone, but just a little bit?
"I said it must be the girl who spoke for us, but Ah Wu said it was impossible." Wang Yuting rubbed his face vigorously.
"I didn't say anything, but he said A Wu was good in Kung Fu." Li Xiaonan said with a smile.
"Thank you, girl. Please take care of me in the future. It's not easy for Ah Wu." Wang Yuting glanced at Ah Wu.
"As long as I can!" Li Xiaonan said solemnly, "I like you two!"
Wang Yuting raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Xiaonan. For a moment, he laughed out loud.
