A big bowl full of white rice, topped with a big spoonful of braised pork sauce, and a sip of golden mushroom chicken soup made Qin Guoqing think he was having a state banquet, even though he had never had a state banquet.
Cheng Liguo heard Qin Guoqing's mouth and quietly pulled his sleeve. Qin Guoqing didn't know what was going on at first, but when he saw Cheng Liguo pointing at his mouth, his face turned red with embarrassment.
The thin monkey pursed his lips and smiled. Sometimes he would smack his lips when he ate delicious food. He had been scolded by Qiu Min countless times. Now that he heard other people squeaking with his own ears, he knew that he would never do it again.
Yes, you are chirping.
Mother Li quietly glanced at Cheng Liguo and felt that although this in-law looked amiable, he was definitely a tough guy at heart.
"Dad, you are finally free, right?"
"Well, I would also like to thank Comrade Li Bing for this. Without him to help me, whether it is redress or divorce, these two matters would definitely be a gap that is difficult to bridge for me."
Hearing Li Bing's name, Li's mother was stunned. Could it be that her eldest son was also on the line with his in-laws? If everyone in the family could unite as one, the family would definitely prosper.
"Then don't leave when dad comes this time. After a few years, when the situation becomes more stable, we can make plans again."
Cheng Qiao was happy in her heart. She hoped to keep her father by her side. In the current situation, only rural areas were the safest, so it was more appropriate to remain silent.
"No, my daughter, Dad wants to apologize to you. Dad has decided to stay in the Hexi Corridor and not leave."
"Ah, why?"
"Daughter, if you saw the living conditions there, you would also feel sad. The desert there has become a city, water resources are extremely scarce, and almost all the trees planted have been wiped out.
There are no patches of woods to resist, and the desert invades the land unscrupulously. I want to help them. Fortunately, I have found some ways now, so I want to devote the rest of my life to the Hexi Corridor."
Cheng Qiao opened his mouth in surprise, but Li Huan looked at his father-in-law with admiration. He had always known from his elder brother how difficult the environment was there, but his father-in-law actually wanted to give up his favorable conditions here and choose to go to
The most difficult place.
"Dad, if you insist, then I can only support you. Which department you currently work in, I will send the supplies directly to you in the future."
"Garden Management Office, but I still live in the original cave dwelling. After living in the cave dwelling for a long time, it feels good. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, but it is not convenient to take a bath."
"Dad, I will take you and Qin Guoqing to the bathhouse later to take a good bath."
Li Huan spoke quickly, but Qin Guoqing looked troubled. He drove all the way and forgot to bring a change of clothes, so...
"Your figure is about the same as mine. You go to the bathhouse later, and I'll go back and get some clothes for you."
The thin monkey saw that Qin Guoqing was just a teenager and he was thin, so Qin Guoqing should be able to wear his clothes.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Skinny Monkey."
Cheng Liguo glanced at Shouhou, who hurriedly explained that his surname was Hou, from Lord Hou, and some bastard gave him the nickname Shouhou.
Li Huan narrowed his eyes, "You bastard, say it again."
Thin Monkey immediately remembered that his nickname was given by Li Huan, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Qiu Min couldn't help but laugh. Just a smile affected the child in her belly, kicked her hard, and quickly covered her belly.
stand up.
"What's wrong? This bastard kicked you again. I'll beat him up when he comes out. If he dares to bully my wife, I won't let him have an easy time."
Cheng Qiao laughed so much that her cheeks were sore. These words were so familiar, but until now, when little Cheng Li was born, Li Huan was reluctant to even speak loudly, not to mention beating him.
Seeing Cheng Qiao's meaningful smile, Li Huan scratched his head in embarrassment and tugged on the hem of Shouhou's clothes. Don't be embarrassed. If you have this time, you might as well drink one more glass of wine.
Mother Li looked at the sky. She had to rush back before night came, otherwise Li Le and Xu Hui would not be able to serve an old man at home.
"Mom, be careful when you go back and ask Uncle Niu to come over tomorrow morning to take my father back to the village."
"Hey, then you should be careful and be sure to lock the door at night."
Li Huan also pulled Qin Guoqing out of the courtyard. When he saw a van parked at the door, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He actually came with a van. Shouldn't he come with a truck?
"Brother Huan, my father said that trucks must not be sent out. If people from other brothers' camps find out, they will definitely come to ask for it. We don't even have enough for this little thing."
"Then you will definitely not be able to pull it off this time."
"It's okay, my dad said, take a cart back first, and take Uncle Cheng back with you next time."
"Then how long will it take for you to come back?"
"At least half a month. Gasoline is in short supply, so my dad will have to work hard."
Li Huan heard this for at least half a month and nodded with satisfaction. He hoped that his father-in-law would stay in Xiangyang Village longer, and his wife would be happier.
Cheng Qiao took out a change of clothes for Li Huan and Cheng Liguo, as well as soap and towels for bathing. A piece of soap was enough for the old man to take a bath, so he put it in a net bag and handed it to Li Huan.
"Sister Cheng Qiao, do you still have this soap here? I want to take a few pieces back to Brother Li Bing."
"Big brother has a girlfriend."
Cheng Qiao keenly sensed the connotation, and Qin Guoqing nodded repeatedly, revealing everything about Li Bing and Jiang Meili.
"Sure, not only will there be soap, but also cream and woolen scarves. These are gifts from our husband and wife to Jiang Meili."
Cheng Qiao walked into the room, then took two bottles of cream, a bright red woolen scarf, and some soaps and handed them to Qin Guoqing. Qin Guoqing waved his hands and gave them to him again when he left.
The three of them went to the bathhouse to take a bath. Cheng Qiao closed the door tightly and took little Cheng Li into the space. He handed the gold watch to little Cheng Li and told him very preciously:
"This gift grandpa gave you is very valuable, so don't break it, otherwise it will be too late to regret it when you grow up."
Little Cheng Li took the pocket watch and nodded happily. His mother said that this watch will be very valuable in the future, so he should leave it to his mother for safekeeping.
"Yeah, please..."
"Baby, do you want your mother to keep this pocket watch for you?"
"Um……"
Little Cheng Li nodded vigorously, and Cheng Qiao found a box, wrapped it in a new handkerchief, put it in the box, and then put it in the closet.
She spread a mattress on the floor of the bedroom, put little Cheng Li on the floor, then took out the toys bought by Chuncheng and placed them on the floor, letting him play alone while she went to plant some medicinal herbs.
Little Cheng Li looked at his mother's back and secretly regretted that he had grown up too slowly. Otherwise, he could go to work with his mother, and her mother wouldn't have to work so hard.
