Li family's new house!
Ever since Li Yi took the initiative last time and moved the things from the old house to the new house, his parents have been living in the new house.
At this time, Zhang Yuehong and Tang Xue were busy in the kitchen, while Li Yi and his father were teasing the two little guys on the kang.
Zhang Ziqiang, on the other hand, was sitting astride the edge of the Kang, drinking tea slowly.
As Li Yi's official bodyguard, Zhang Ziqiang had a certain understanding of Li Yi's basic situation, but he did not expect that the parents of this billionaire still lived in such a remote mountain village and lived such a simple life.
"Why did you come back all of a sudden?"
Li Shankui asked while teasing his eldest grandson.
"It's nothing, I just want to come back and have a look!"
Then Li Yi added again: "If you don't come back now, you will have to come back during the New Year!"
"Why?"
"Xiaoxue has been admitted to college, and school will start in September. How will there be time to return to her hometown by then!" Li Yi said.
"Really, which university?" my father asked excitedly.
"Jingcheng University, one of the best universities in the country!"
"Why, is it better than Wu Zhiqing's school?"
The Wu educated youth his father calls is Wu Yonghao, from Nianzishan Village... no, he should be the first educated youth in the entire Hongqi Commune to be admitted to college.
When Wu Yonghao was admitted to college, he caused a sensation in the village, even though he was admitted to Ningshi Normal College instead of a real undergraduate degree.
But even so, every time the members of the Nianzishan Brigade mentioned him, they were very envious.
"Which school Wu Educated Youth took is incomparable to the one he took in primary school. Ours is much better!" Li Yi said proudly.
"That's great. Our old Li family also has a college student. It's really like the smoke is rising from the ancestral grave!"
When he was happy, Li Shankui said again: "Xiao Yi, you clean up tomorrow and you and I go to the graves to burn some paper money for the ancestors. We have to tell them the good news."
"Okay, just do whatever you say!"
Although Li Yi was not particularly happy about visiting graves and burning paper, he still had to listen to his father's words.
When it comes to things like filial piety, the key word is "submit". Only when you obey your parents is filial piety!
Of course, there is a bottom line for obedience, otherwise it would be foolishness and filial piety.
"By the way, if Xiaoxue goes to school, what will happen to the child?"
"There is a nursery at Beijing University, and it can also be placed in the Jiang family's old house, where someone will watch over it!" Li Yi said.
Li Shankui was slightly disappointed. He wanted his son to leave his grandchildren in the village, but he also knew that his son would definitely not agree with his temper.
Li Yi couldn't see what his father was thinking, so he immediately said with a smile: "Dad, why don't you and my mother move to the capital, so that you can help us take care of our children?"
Hearing this, Li Shankui was indeed a little moved.
It is said that they are relatives from another generation. In his eyes, his son and daughter have already "achieved", and now he just wants to take care of his grandchildren more.
But when he thought of the small alleys all over the capital, he couldn't help but hesitate a little. The two of them were illiterate, and they could lose it even if they didn't go out in the capital.
"Let's talk about it later!"
"also!"
Li Yi doesn't force it. Anyway, his parents can walk and run around now and are in good health, so they don't need to take care of them.
It’s up to them to live wherever they want. If they are too old to walk and need someone to take care of them, it won’t be too late to take them to the city!
"Are your third sister and Mr. Long okay?"
Li Shankui was still very concerned about this only daughter who did not have a family.
"It's good. I originally wanted to bring the third sister back with me, but the store is really busy during this time and she really can't leave!" Li Yi said.
"It doesn't matter whether you come back or not, as long as you are all well..."
Just as he was talking, his mother's voice suddenly came from outside the house: "Dad, please clean up the kang and get ready for dinner!"
"okay!"
Then the father and son stopped talking, and instead busily packed up the things on the kang and arranged the bowls and chopsticks.
After a while, the hot steamed buns with stewed vegetables were served...
........
A speechless night!
Early the next morning, Li Yi heard movement outside at dawn. He opened his eyes and looked at his watch and found that it was just before six o'clock.
Listen carefully, there are indeed footsteps outside.
Lifting the curtains and taking a look, I found that the rain had stopped.
The father was pulling the big red mule and the big black horse towards the outside, apparently preparing to drink water from the well.
Li Yi immediately lowered the curtains and got dressed.
As soon as he walked out of the house, he saw Zhang Ziqiang had also gotten up and was walking outside with a basin of water.
"Daqiang, what are you doing?" Li Yi asked with some confusion.
"The car is dirty, I'm going to wash it!"
"Don't wash it. You'll have to drive it to the county town later. No matter how clean it is, it will be a muddy egg again. Don't waste your energy!"
As he spoke, Li Yi took off the pole placed on the window sill of the courtyard, then picked up two large iron buckets, picked up the small leather bucket with the well rope hanging on it, and walked outside.
When Zhang Ziqiang saw this, he immediately followed him!
Since there is a molybdenum mine under his house, it is not easy to store water. Therefore, Li Yi did not dig a well in the yard after building the house. The Li family still had to go to the well in the center of the village to pick up water.
The Li family's new house is located at the eastern end of the village, three to four hundred meters away from the nearest well, so fetching water every day is indeed a troublesome task.
As soon as Li Yi and Zhang Ziqiang arrived at the well, they saw many people gathering around to carry water. Their father, who was leading the mules and horses, was also chatting with Liu Dalei, Zhang Tongfu and others.
"Hey, Xiaoyi is here to carry water for your father?"
"Shankui, Xiaoyi is really filial, you can count on me!"
"Who says it's not? He's not like that brat from my family. Thinking about it gives me a headache..."
Hearing that everyone was praising his son, Li Shankui's taciturn face showed a faint smile, and he felt extremely happy.
However, considering that his son had not done such physical work for a long time, Li Shankui immediately said to Li Yi: "You come to lead the animals, and I will carry the water!"
"How can you not, isn't this making your uncles laugh!"
Then Li Yi said again: "Dad, if you finish drinking the livestock, go back quickly. Let's get ready and go to the grave early. I want to go to the county seat in the morning!"
Captain Zhang Tongfu immediately asked in confusion: "Shan Kui, this is neither Qingming nor Ghost Festival, why are you going to the grave?"
Li Shankui grinned, revealing a row of big yellow teeth, and then said: "Xiaoyi's wife has been admitted to college, and she is admitted to a prestigious university that is better than Wu Zhiqing. I want to announce the good news to my ancestors!"
As soon as these words were said, it was equivalent to throwing a heavy aerial bomb into the crowd, and everyone was immediately shocked!
"Really or not, Tang Zhiqing has been admitted to college. When did it happen?"
"What a Tang educated youth, she is now Xiao Yi's daughter-in-law!"
"Hey, didn't you say that Xiaoyi's wife went to the capital to recognize her biological child? Why did she get admitted to college?"
"Shankui, what university did Xiaoyi's wife go to..."
After hearing everyone talking to his father and asking questions, Li Yi hurriedly said: "Dear uncles, aunts and uncles, my Xiaoxue has indeed been admitted to the Capital University in our country. The specific situation is I will talk to you in detail when I have time, but we have to visit the grave later, so let’s get water first!”
Liu Dalei immediately said: "Xiao Yi, quickly bring the bucket!"
Li Yi was not polite and immediately put the big iron bucket over.
After Liu Dalei filled both buckets with water, he picked up the load and followed his father towards the new house.
After the Li family and his son left, the enthusiasm of everyone not only did not subside, but became even higher. People gathered around the well to talk about Li Yi's daughter-in-law going to college.
Soon, the news that the Li family's daughter-in-law was admitted to college spread throughout Nianzishan Village...
