It was already five o'clock when we returned to Nianzishan Village. When the little Jeep stopped at the door of the Li family's old house, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Although it has been more than two years since the village was reopened, compared to a corner like Nianzishan Village, life is still the same as it was five years ago.
If there has been a change, it is just that the situation is not as tense as it was in previous years, that's all.
Life is still very fast for everyone. Nowadays, bicycles are almost popular in places like Beijing, Jincheng, Hucheng, and Yangcheng. But in Nianzishan Village, and even Qingshan County as a whole, this thing is still a luxury item.
As for cars, not to mention, every appearance can cause a sensation.
In the house, Zhang Guiying was taking care of her eldest nephew Zhang Ning and cooking for the family.
Hearing something moving outside, he immediately stood up from the stove mouth to check.
I was shocked when I saw a car standing at the door.
Just as he was about to go out with the child to see what was going on, he saw his son Li Yi and his man walking in from outside carrying large and small bags.
At that moment, Zhang Guiying locked the stove door and ran out excitedly.
"Ah, heads, why are you back so soon?"
Hearing his mother-in-law's startled voice, Li Shankui said with slightly red eyes: "Of course I'm back if there's no problem, otherwise why would I still be living in the provincial capital?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Guiying immediately felt relieved.
This was the old man telling her that there was nothing wrong with her body.
You must know that the whole family seemed to have lost their souls in the two days since the two fathers left.
Especially Zhang Guiying herself is always worried about her family's health problems.
In fact, she didn't blame her for being worried. The main reason was that Li Shankui's health had not been very good in the past two years. He often coughed non-stop. Especially when he first got up in the morning or when he went to bed at night, he felt like he was about to cough out his lungs.
And I often get out of breath, which doesn't seem like a good sign at first sight.
Li Yi moved the things into the house, then asked Li Gang to come in and sit for a while, and planned to cook him something delicious to thank him.
As a result, Li Gang refused because he was busy with work. When he left, he asked Li Yi to take time to go to the county bureau in the next two days and sit down with everyone.
Li Yi agreed to this matter. On the one hand, Wang Anguo was about to go to the city to take office, and he had to send him off no matter what.
On the other hand, I will be going to my father-in-law's house soon. I have to exchange for some national food stamps and write a letter of introduction. I will inevitably have to go to the city.
After sending Li Gang away, Li Yi asked his mother and learned that the third sister had gone to the back mountain to pick up the children, while Tang Xue and the second sister were collecting mushrooms at their new home.
At that moment, Li Yi asked his mother to pack up the things he brought back from the provincial capital, while he pushed out the bicycle from the house and went straight to the new house.
At the Li family's new house, Tang Xue and Li Lan were busy receiving the folks selling mushrooms.
During this time, their eldest aunt and younger sibling had already cooperated very well. Li Lan was responsible for checking whether the mushrooms sent by the villagers were up to standard and weighing them, while Tang Xue was responsible for settling the accounts and paying the bills.
Li Yi has set a rule that all mushrooms collected at home must be settled in cash, and no one is owed credit.
Even in order to collect enough cash, their parents, Li Lan, and Li Na gave all their money to Tang Xue to act as principal.
Coupled with the money from delivering mountain goods to state-owned restaurants and selling cold skin every day, so far, I can barely cope with it.
"Ring ring ring..."
Following the sound of the bicycle bell, Li Yi's car rode directly into his yard.
After seeing Li Yi, the folks in the yard greeted him one after another.
"Yi Wazi is back. When did you get home?"
"Is your father okay?"
"Yi Wazi..."
Nianzishan Village is so big. If someone has something, it will definitely take less than half an hour to spread it from the beginning of the village to the end of the village.
What's more, Li Yi took Li Shankui to the provincial capital for medical treatment, a "big event", and everyone in the village knew about it the next day.
Listening to everyone's questions, Li Yi immediately said loudly: "Thank you for your concern. My dad is fine. He just smokes too much."
"In addition, my father is determined to quit smoking. When my uncles are with my father in the future, they must not give him cigarettes. He has no self-consciousness, and you can't tempt him to make mistakes!"
After hearing Li Yi's words, everyone couldn't help but laugh and joked:
"Yi Wazi, your father has been smoking cigarettes for decades, how can he quit?"
"That's right, even if your father gives up eating, he can't give up smoking!"
"Hahaha, Brother Shankui is the kind of person who can crush yam vines and smoke them as tobacco leaves. How can he quit smoking?"
"I don't know if other people can quit smoking. Anyway, I don't believe Brother Shankui quits smoking..."
Li Yi knew this was the case. His father was notorious for smoking in the village, and one-third of the family's one-and-a-half-acre private land was used by him to grow tobacco.
Now that I suddenly talk about quitting smoking, it’s no wonder that others don’t believe it.
"Dear uncles and uncles, although my dad doesn't have any serious illness, the doctor said that he has asthma, which is what we often call "shortness of breath". You cannot smoke with this disease. If you still want my dad to live a few more years, We can’t let him smoke anymore!”
Then Li Yi continued: "I took everyone to make money together, and I didn't ask for anything from you. Just treat this as my begging for everyone."
Li Yi knows that quitting smoking depends on the environment. If you live alone, you can quit if you want to.
But if you are surrounded by a bunch of old smokers who give you one every now and then and want to quit smoking, isn't that a joke?
When everyone saw that Li Yi was serious about what he said, they knew he was not joking. Even if someone expressed his opinion, "Since Yi Wazi said so, from now on I will carry your father behind my back when he smokes!"
"Yes, just don't let him see it!"
"Don't worry, we can still do this..."
Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Yi nodded and said, "Then I thank you all!"
After finishing speaking, Li Yi came to Tang Xue, took the account book from her hand and said, "You take a rest, I'll do it!"
"I am not tired!"
Li Yi saw that there was sweat on her forehead and her pretty face was red. He immediately smiled and said, "I'm fine anyway. You go sit in the shade for a while, and we'll go home after collecting this!"
"Oh well!"
With Li Yi as a new force, the speed suddenly became much faster.
Before half past six, all the mushrooms sent by the members in the yard were settled.
Afterwards, Li Yi locked the door and returned to the old house with Tang Xue and his second sister!
