Qingshan County. Nianzishan Village!
It is more than 360 kilometers from the capital to Qingshan County, during which time we have to cross northwest Hebei.
Even though Li Yi set out early in the morning, it was already after two o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to the village.
There is no way, who knows that the road conditions along this road are really not good. There are winding roads everywhere, and the speed of the car cannot be reached at all.
This can't help but make Li Yi miss the G6 and G7 expressways in his previous life. Since these two expressways were opened to traffic, it takes up to three hours from Beijing to Qingshan County.
Unlike now, it often takes six or seven hours, which is too tiring!
But there is no way. At present, the country's infrastructure is very lagging behind, let alone highways, and even ordinary gravel roads are not accessible in many places.
Qingshan County is still okay, at least the roads are still open.
When the car drove into the village, Li Yi couldn't help feeling a little emotional and a little excited.
This was the first year he spent after his rebirth, and he originally planned to spend it at home with his parents.
But it is a pity that due to Jiang Xue's recognition of her relatives, she could only spend the New Year in the capital, which really made Li Yi feel a little regretful.
But regrets are regrets, but Li Yi does not regret it.
After all, the safety of Jiang Xue and her child was more important. As she was about to give birth, it was really inconvenient for her to return to her hometown to wait for the birth.
Now that the child has finally been born safely, he has successfully become a novice baby daddy, and his biggest regret in his previous life has been made up for.
Just as Li Yi's thoughts were racing, the car entered Nianzi Mountain Village.
Through the car window, Li Yi saw that the village was still the same as before, without much change.
If anything, every household has red couplets posted on it, which looks very festive.
To be honest, Li Yi didn't care much about the Chinese New Year a long time ago.
Especially in his previous life, except for Tomb Sweeping Day, which he would remember to visit "Tang Xue"'s grave, Li Yi couldn't do any other festivals.
The reason is also simple. Most festivals are filled with thousands of lights and family reunions, but he is the only one who is alone. That kind of suffering is definitely understandable to most people.
Therefore, seeing the new-year atmosphere in the village, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly...
In the Li family's old house, Zhang Yuehong was teasing her nephew on the kang, while Li Mei was squatting on the floor washing clothes.
"Meizi, look at this kiss, she keeps smiling at me, she's so kissable!"
Li Mei smiled and said, "That's not true. My mother has been helping me pull him away during this period. He must have kissed you!"
"That's right, this kid will kiss whoever pulls him!"
Suddenly, Li Mei felt that her mother's mood was a little low, and she knew that her mother must be missing her brother Xiaoyi and her two grandchildren!
"Mom, do you miss your grandchildren?"
"A little bit. I guess the baby will be one month old in two days. Your father and I haven't seen what the baby looks like yet!"
Then Zhang Yuehong couldn't help but nag about her son, and then said: "Xiaoyi is serious, it's fine if he doesn't come back, why don't he even send a photo of the child to his family!"
Li Mei hurriedly comforted: "Mom, don't blame Xiaoyi. Now he has to take care of Xiaoxue and my child, and he is also busy opening a store. He must be very busy."
"Perhaps when the child is out of confinement and his body is a little stronger, he will come back to see you with his siblings and the child!"
"Mom doesn't blame them, she just wants to know what the child looks like..."
Just as he was talking, a "rumbling" sound suddenly came from outside.
Zhang Yuehong looked out through the glass of the window and found that a car drove directly into her yard. The sound was made by the car.
"Meizi, a car has come in. Who is it?"
Hearing her mother's voice, Li Mei didn't dare to neglect, hurriedly stood up from the fire bench, and then hurried out of the house.
As soon as she opened the door, Li Mei saw her younger brother Li Yi getting out of the car and moving things down from the car.
"Ah, it's Xiaoyi who's back!"
Then, Li Mei walked over quickly and wanted to help.
Li Yi saw that the eldest sister was not wearing thick clothes, and said hurriedly: "Sister, please go inside first, don't catch a cold, be careful of catching a cold!"
"It's okay, I'll help you!"
"No need...there aren't many things, I can just do it myself!"
With that said, Li Yi took off many cloth bags from the car, and then returned to the house with his eldest sister.
Zhang Yuehong, who was on the kang, also knew that her son was back, and she was equally excited.
Seeing Li Yi come in, he hurriedly asked: "Xiao Yi, are you alone? Where are Xiaoxue and the child? Are they back?"
"Just me, they are all still in the capital!"
"Why don't you bring it back together?" Mother said with a frown.
"The children are too young to withstand the hardships of such a long journey. We will bring them back when they are older!" Li Yi explained.
Li Mei on the side also echoed and said: "Mom, Xiaoxue hasn't left the confinement place yet, so she can't attract the wind!"
"oh..."
Seeing his mother's disappointed look, Li Yi smiled and said, "Mom, although Xiaoxue and the child can't come back, you and my father can go to the capital to visit them!"
"Ah... let's go to the capital?" Zhang Yuehong said with a surprised look on her face.
"Yes, the child will be one month old in two days. When I come back this time, I will take you and my father to Beijing to drink full moon wine!" Li Yi said.
"We really need to go to the capital. Can your father and I do it?"
Knowing that my mother has never traveled far in her life, the farthest place she has ever been is the county town. Now that she is asked to go to the capital, she will inevitably feel a little nervous.
Thinking of this, Li Yi hurriedly said: "Why not, my third sister and I are both in the capital, can we still lose you and my father?"
"I...why don't you ask your father!"
Zhang Yuehong didn't dare to make any decisions on such a big matter, even though she really wanted to visit the capital.
"Where's my dad? Why didn't you see him?"
"I went to the construction site to help. I'll be back in the evening!" Li Mei replied.
"What construction site? What can we do in this cold weather?" Li Yi asked curiously.
"It's the construction site for building a school. Boss Huang's brother-in-law came here a few days ago and said that construction will start in a while and that materials need to be prepared in advance!"
When Li Yi heard this, he immediately understood that the temperature here would rise in April and construction would be possible.
It is already March, so it is reasonable for the construction team to enter the site early to make preparations.
But there were some things that he still didn't quite understand, so he immediately asked: "Sister, they are starting to build a school, why is dad going to join in the fun?"
"It's nothing. It's just that Boss Huang's brother-in-law came to visit my parents at home a few days ago and brought a lot of gifts."
Then Li Mei continued: "At the same time, he said that he was unfamiliar with the place and could not even understand what we were saying, so he wanted to ask dad to find some people to help on the construction site. Dad, I think that boss Huang is treating you It was pretty good, so I agreed!”
"So that's it, let me go to the construction site and have a look!"
As he said this, Li Yi was about to go out, but as soon as his legs stepped out of the door, he turned back.
Then he came to his mother, took out a brand-new stack of unity, waved it in front of his little nephew and said, "Here, this is the New Year's money given by my uncle, reach out and take it!"
I don’t know if the little guy understood Li Yi’s words, but he actually stretched out his hand and grasped these colorful coins.
"Xiao Yi, why did you give so much lucky money to a child?" the eldest sister said in surprise.
"Haha, sister, don't worry about this, this is for my nephew!"
After saying that, Li Yi went out with a smile!
Then, the sound of a car starting up sounded outside the house again!
