After lunch, the family was sitting under a big tree drinking tea.
"Xiao Fan, when I came back at noon today, I went to take a look in our yard." Li Mingran took a sip of tea and said slowly: "This foreman is very fast and there are many people. I don't think it will take us long."
Then you can go home and live.”
"Why are you in such a hurry to go home, brother-in-law? It's so nice to have a lively family here." Sun Xiao took over.
"That's not a problem. It's also not convenient for Li Fan's large group of friends to come and go."
"Then what's the inconvenience? If it's convenient at your house, it's convenient at my house." Sun Xiao pouted.
She really felt that it was good like this. In the past, Wang Sunyang worked away from home all the year round, and Wang Gang was also away from home every now and then. She was the only woman in such a big house, and it was always empty.
What's more, she was married from out of town and was not familiar with everyone in the village. She didn't like chatting with those long-mouthed women in the streets and lanes of the village. She was very lonely.
Now that her sister, brother-in-law and her family have moved in, the house has become much more lively, and she likes this environment very much.
"That's right, brother-in-law, you don't want to see outsiders, just treat us as your own family. Sun Xiao and I don't treat you like outsiders either." Wang Gang also said the same.
"That's hard to say." Li Fan took a sip of water and said, "When the house is renovated, my uncle and my sister will come to live in my house. It will be convenient for our family to be together. There are rooms for you and my cousin in the new house."
"Now there are more and more people working with me, and it's not the same thing if they all live together. I'm thinking of renting out my uncle's house and renovating it to use it as a staff dormitory."
"When my cousin gets married in the future, I will provide the money to buy a house for my family in the county."
Li Fan has had this idea for a long time. After all, there are a lot of gangsters now who are not from this village. Many of them do not have long-term residences, and it is very troublesome to go back and forth all day long.
Since he is willing to use them and they work well here, he is also willing to provide these people with a better working environment, at least to meet their most basic living needs.
If a boss wants to retain people for a long time, he cannot just rely on personal charm, but also needs to be able to bring tangible benefits to employees.
If everyone lives in his house without talking about it, while it will be inconvenient for his family, those people will certainly not be able to let him go.
Wang Gang's family has a small population, and their house is at the end of the village and is much larger than ordinary houses. It would be best if this house could be converted into a dormitory.
Hearing what Li Fan said, Wang Gang immediately said: "If my eldest nephew is still filial, the method you mentioned is feasible, and the house is not needed. Let your cousin earn money to buy it by himself. He is young and has both hands and feet. He is already good at it.
You should make your own money to buy a house for your wife."
"And what about the rent? What is this? We are all a family. As long as your sister-in-law and I have a place to live, you can use this house if you want. What's the rent?"
Wang Gang thought very simply. He really regarded Li Fan as his own son. Otherwise, he would not have risked his life to protect Li Fan like this. Now that Li Fan needs help, as long as he can do it, he will naturally do it without saying a word.
promise.
"Yes, if a family doesn't speak the same language, it would be embarrassing to talk about the rent." Sun Xiao also said the same.
A warm current suddenly flowed through Li Fan's heart. He had been wandering outside for so many years, suffered so much hardship, and still wanted to go home. Isn't it because of these people in his family?
They all treat themselves sincerely and treat themselves as their own sons.
For ordinary people, let alone a nephew, even if a biological son arranges his own house in this way, his family may not agree.
"Okay, then it's settled. I won't talk about the rent, but I will definitely buy the house for my cousin. When my uncle gets older, he will drive to travel outside, and I will provide for you in your old age."
Wang Gang knew that Li Fan was not trying to make a big deal out of him, he was sincere in what he said, and he believed that he could do it.
Although he didn't expect anything in return when he was kind to Li Fan, he was still very heart-warming when he heard that he would provide for him in his old age. He joked: "From now on, uncle Guizi will be relying on you."
"Just don't worry."
The family laughed together, and the campus was filled with a harmonious, happy and relaxed atmosphere.
Suddenly a phone ringing broke the pleasant atmosphere.
Li Fan picked up the phone and took a look. Although there was no note, he had a good memory. This number had called him once before, and it was Li Shuhui's class teacher. He remembered it at that time.
The matter last time had just been resolved and Li Shuhui was already so old. Why would the head teacher call him now?
Li Fan picked up the phone and said: "Teacher Wang."
"Is he Li Shuhui's brother?"
"Yes, what happened?"
Upon hearing that it was Li Shuhui's class teacher, the family who had been chatting immediately fell silent and listened to what was happening on the other end of the phone.
Li Shuhui never had to worry about her studies. Now that the teacher is calling, there is a high probability that something happened. The whole family is very nervous after what happened last time.
Seeing that the family was so nervous, Li Fan simply turned on the loudspeaker.
Just as Teacher Wang's voice passed through the receiver of the mobile phone, it clearly reached the ears of everyone in the courtyard.
"It's like this. After lunch, no one saw Li Shuhui. She didn't come back until class in the afternoon. So I called to ask if your parents had something to do with picking up the child?"
Before Li Fan spoke, Wang Hongxia became anxious: "What? Shuhui can't be found? She didn't go home!"
