He returned to his home in a low-key manner. Before he entered the courtyard, he saw Li Qingyuan and another relative pasting Spring Festival couplets on the courtyard door. For Li Qingfeng, this was indeed the first time he had seen such a scene in many years.
He said hello to Li Qingyuan. After Li Qingyuan replied, he didn't look at him again and walked in with a few children.
Li Qingfeng knew that his second brother Li Qingyuan did have some complaints against him regarding Li Qingshi's death. After all, if he hadn't insisted on following him into the mountains that day, Li Qingshi would not have died because of this.
If Li Qingfeng were an ordinary person, that would be okay. But it happened that Li Qingfeng was a cultivator of immortality, and the Li Yuming he brought back also had spiritual roots. In this way, it seemed as if Li Qingfeng had sacrificed Li Qingshi for his own path.
In this regard, Li Qingfeng did not intend to defend himself - there was no need for him to explain his behavior to a mortal. However, he was indeed responsible for this matter, so Li Qingfeng made up his mind at that time. Sooner or later, he would definitely end this matter.
There were only three children coming back with him this time. Li Qingdong's family lived across the village, and he was going back to his house to celebrate the New Year. However, Li Qingfeng had already told him to keep a low profile. Li Qingdong practiced in the Li family compound every day, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he also understood some principles that there are differences between immortals and mortals, so he naturally agreed to this.
When they got home, Liu Qiniang, Wang and Li were already waiting there - Li Qingfeng had naturally notified them. Although several children have been here before, even Li Qingqing seems a bit unfamiliar and uncomfortable.
Li Qingfeng brought them back to celebrate the New Year this time with the purpose of letting them build more relationships with the clan. After all, neither Li Qingzhu nor Li Yuming were from Lijia Village. He didn't want to have disputes with them on these matters in the future. It was better to cultivate more feelings from now on, so that they would have more bonds with the Li family in the future.
As soon as she saw Li Qingfeng, Liu Qiniang came up to him and held his hand, mumbling that Li Qingfeng had become dark and thin. Li Qingfeng's face remained as usual and he smiled in response. Due to the influence of the original owner Li Qingfeng, he did have some feelings for the woman in front of him, but he was not completely coping.
After a moment, Liu Qiniang left Li Qingfeng and bent down to hug Li Qingqing, tears almost flowing down her face. Li Qingqing was hugged by her, and his usual liveliness and cheerfulness were all forgotten. He couldn't say anything. He only shouted "Mother" and buried his head in Liu Qiniang's arms, crying like a human. .
Li on the other side approached Li Yuming. This child was raised under the knees of her son Li Qingshi. He was regarded as her god-grandson, so she naturally wanted to be closer to him. But after all, she and Li Yuming had only met a few times, and they were still familiar with each other, so she just pulled the little boy over, touched his head, and only asked questions about whether life was hard and how his food was.
Although Li Yuming was a little stupid, he could understand the concern of the woman in front of him. He didn't say anything, just nodded, and tugged on Li's clothes to let her see his waist.
Even though Li Yuming is only seven years old now, he is still several months away from turning eight. But he is a serious Qi-training monk at the first level. He still practices yang body-training techniques such as "Pure Yang Body-building Kung Fu", and his strength is not small. This pull made Li stagger, which shocked both of them. Li Yuming hurriedly let go of his hand, called "grandma" in his mouth, turned sideways and pulled up his robe.
Li Shi was startled, but felt that Li Yuming's actions were not malicious, so she looked intently at his waist and saw the wooden peace charm she had given him last time. She smiled suddenly, no longer hesitated, knelt down and held Li Yuming in her arms. Li Yuming just let her hug him blankly, but when he thought about it, he also hugged Mrs. Li's waist with his short hands, which made Mrs. Li smile.
This may be the happiest time she has laughed since Li Qingshi's death.
Among the three children in the courtyard, only Li Qingzhu stood alone. Li Qingfeng walked up to him, put his hand on his head and touched him a few times. Fortunately, Liu Qiniang, as the eldest wife of the family, had seen the scene before. After crying a few times, she stood up, pulled Li Qingzhu over with a smile, and also asked Li Qingzhu about his well-being.
After asking a few questions, Liu Qiniang smiled and invited everyone in. Several elderly female relatives were already cleaning the house, and they all smiled when they saw Li Qingfeng and others. Hearing their voices, Li Qingfeng's younger brothers and sisters, led by the oldest one, walked out of the side door, and they all called Third Brother with a smile.
"Fourth sister!"
Li Qingqing exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to hug the leading girl. That is Li Qingfeng's eldest sister, the fourth in the family, and her name is Li Qingning. She smiled and hugged Li Qingqing, looked at Li Qingfeng again, and called "Third Brother" softly.
Li Qingfeng nodded and smiled, then took Li Qingzhu and Li Yuming and handed them to Li Qingning, letting Li Qingning take them to play. After Li Qingning agreed, she left everyone and walked towards the study.
Knocking on the study door, Li Wen's voice came from inside: "Come in."
Li Qingfeng opened the door and walked in. When he saw Li Wen and Li San in the room, he made a bow and called "Dad, Grandpa" as a greeting.
Li Wen and Li San asked a few questions about Li Qingfeng's life in the valley. Li Qingfeng said it was okay. After they finished asking, he asked: "Dad, grandpa, when I came back this time, there seemed to be more people in the village." New face, what’s going on?”
After all, he has integrated Li Qingfeng's memories of more than sixteen years ago, and even if he is not familiar with the villagers of Lijia Village, he knows them more or less. But this time when I returned to Lijiacun, I saw many unfamiliar faces, so I asked this question.
The one who spoke was Li San. He raised his hand and said: "Those are villagers who defected from Wangjia Village in the north. Didn't they have some evil spirits hurting people some time ago, so several families moved here. I have arranged for them Lived in the north of the village."
Li Qingfeng nodded. This is a good thing. The population of Lijiacun is indeed too small. Thinking about the immortal-cultivating families he had seen in his previous life, even some of the small immortal-cultivating families mostly had a population of more than 10,000. Wangjia Village has a population of more than a thousand, and many of its villagers are related by marriage to Lijia Village, making it a perfect candidate for annexation.
He said: "Grandpa, if there are more villagers from Wangjia Village who come to seek refuge, we will try our best to resettle them."
Li San touched his beard and nodded in agreement. Li Qingfeng turned to Li Wen and said: "Dad, you have to worry about the education of the children in the village. You don't need to be able to recite poems and answer questions, as long as you can write and do math."
After a pause, he added: "Next time the caravan from my uncle comes again, we can send more people to learn from them. We will also build a caravan in the future. This time we can first visit the county town and several surrounding villages. The road is far away, don’t be in a hurry.”
Lijiacun also organized a caravan, and it is said that it reached as far as Bingzhou. However, due to lack of talents and poor management, the caravan benefited little, so the Li family caravan at that time thought of going to the dangerous Bingzhou to run business. It's a pity that I heard that the caravan encountered a fire-breathing beast in Bingzhou, and almost the entire army was wiped out. Li Qingfeng's uncle died there. Since then, the Li family has never organized a caravan. It was not until Li Qingfeng and his generation that Li San asked them to follow Liu Zhen to see the world more and plan to try it again.
