The first news Li He heard when he got home was that Mrs. Feng, who was selling rice wine, had passed away.

He sighed and said, "Wasn't your body fine years ago, why is it so fast?"

Mrs. He hugged Li Lan on the side and said, "It's the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, probably ate too much, was old and couldn't stand the cold, had stomach trouble for several days, went to the hospital, didn't think about going to the hospital and didn't come out again, lived for half a month, I also let the dragon and the two specially take me to see a few times, no one is sober, after two days, this person is gone." ”

"He didn't tell us a word. "Mrs. Feng has always been good to Li He, and Li He feels that he should come back for a trip.

"Don't rummage through things. Mrs. He patted off Li Lan's hand in opening the drawer, and continued to say to her son-in-law, "Although the two families get along well, they are not real relatives after all, how can people be embarrassed to let you come back thousands of miles, if the people are gone, they are gone, what use can you use when you come back? I let Longzi give you the money, this favor is not bad, and it will be 'five seven' in two days, you go and send two pieces of paper, two firecrackers, and the number of gifts will be complete." ”

"So be it. Li He touched his stomach and said with a smile, "Auntie, help me get something to eat." ”

"The rice is cooked, and you can eat it when the dragon's food is delivered. ”

As soon as Mrs. He's words fell, He Long came in with a big basket.

Li He lifted the cloth on the basket, and it was still steaming, "This mutton is really fragrant, the level has improved, why are you making so much, you may not be able to eat it." ”

"Eat with this skill. He Long put all the mutton that had been torn a long time ago into the plate on the table, "Let's have a drink?"

"Slow down for two days, slow down and drink again. Li He just got off the plane and didn't have much effort, his stomach was empty, and he didn't have much heart to drink, "Don't worry about me, you go and get busy with yours, the business in the store is so busy." ”

He Long's restaurant focuses on roast mutton, but he keeps pace with the times and makes lamb scorpions in winter, and the business has made a reputation in this area.

"With the addition of the child and his uncle, plus my two children, there are five people in the store now, and they are very busy. He Long has an indescribable pride, but he knows that without his brother-in-law, he would not have today's achievements, and he is now in this area, no one can bully him. Although he was grateful, he couldn't shout 'brother-in-law' so smoothly to this day.

Mrs. He brought the rice from the kitchen, Li He took the bowl and filled it himself, then rolled up his sleeves for Li Lan, picked a piece of mutton bone for him, and instructed, "Gnaw it slowly." ”

Li Lan really squatted and gnawed on the threshold with his bones in his arms, which was the most heated place in the house.

Mrs. He also served rice, and stuffed him with a spoonful of rice while he was gnawing on the bones.

But halfway through the meal, he opened his mouth half-open, closed his eyelids, and rushed to the cold. Mrs. He hurriedly picked him up, washed his hands at will, and put him back in the room to sleep.

He Long drank alone and drank tiredly, and said with a smile, "You should drink less, drink warmly." ”

"Let's have a couple of them, not more. He Long's lips drank sweetly, Li He was a little greedy, he stretched out the cup and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

He touched He Long and slipped into his stomach halfway.

"This mutton soup is good, I've been boiling it for a day. He Long gave Li He a bowl of soup again.

Li He disliked that he was uncomfortable wearing a jacket, so he simply took it off, only wore a shirt, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Business is okay?"

"It's getting better and better every year, and it's all brought by old customers, and these people who have been brought over have tasted it once and become old customers again. "After several years of training, He Long has his own business experience, furry and down-to-earth, and grows up vividly - although he has not grown into a climate, he has a spirit. "Uncle Shoushan is right, this business is a brand, the brand is sounding, people recognize you as sincere, recognize you as doing, that business can't be bad!"

Li He smiled and said, "Do you want to expand your business?"

"This business is already too busy. ”

"Make the store bigger, ask more people, I'll find you a place, if the capital is not enough, I'll lend you some more." "Although he is only a brother-in-law, he is also a nominal younger brother, but compared with Li Long, this net worth is not half a star, and Li He is not good at favoring one over the other.

"No, I don't. I've already taken on so much of your favor, and the money I owe you has just been paid off for less than a year, so I can't borrow any more. He Long said resolutely, "You and my sister have already helped me so much, to tell the truth, even if the locals want me to have no luck, why should I not be satisfied? If I can't pick it up, I might as well find a piece of tofu and kill me." ”

"Then add some oil. Li He raised his glass and drank it in one gulp, and unconsciously added a glass to himself, and the more he drank the wine, the more fragrant it became.

The more he drank like this, the more he felt it, and he couldn't stop. The two of them drank a pound and a half of wine.

After drinking, he didn't have time to clean up the table, washed his face, soaked his feet and went straight back to his room.

He touched the dresser with his hand, a layer was not stained, it seemed that Mrs. He came to clean it frequently, and then looked at the quilt, it was also new.

He didn't think much of it, and fell asleep next to the bed.

In the day or two after he came back, he ate and drank every day, today it was not Ping Song, tomorrow it was Pan Song, and even Feng Lei learned the scene and set a table for him at the Shangri-La Lila Hotel.

It's not easy for him to retreat, and every day is like this, so that he doesn't have much time to go to Zhao Yongqi, Gao Aiguo, Jiang Aiguo and others.

Finally, he had a free day, and was about to take Li Lan to Zhao Yongqi, but Li Qiuhong came over, still holding a red invitation card in his hand.

Li He smiled and said, "Qiuhong, married?"

Li Qiuhong said unceremoniously, "Brother Li, don't make fun of me, I'm still young." ”

"Then who is this for?" If it is someone who knows each other together, there is no reason for Li He to know later than Li Qiuhong.

"My brother. ”

"Who?" Li He didn't seem to hear clearly.

"Li Aijun!" Li Qiuhong raised her voice, "It's my brother Li Aijun!"

"So fast?" Li Aijun only came back one day earlier than Li He, and this speed was also fast. But he quickly reacted and asked, "You don't seem to be happy about your brother getting married?"

"He.... He... Find a ......" Li Qiuhong didn't know how to express it for a while.

"What kind of one did you find?" asked Li He.

"I found someone with an oil bottle!" Although the word 'oil bottle' was indecent or a bit insulting, Li Qiuhong still said it angrily, "Do you think I can be happy!"

"What's the situation?" Li He was mostly curious, he didn't care what Li Aijun was looking for, the key was that Li Aijun himself wanted to like it.

"As soon as he came back from Hong Kong, he didn't think it was a big deal except for work. Li Qiuhong continued, "But within two days, we found out that he was different from before, how to say it specifically, anyway, there was talk and laughter, but something was wrong." Later, Sister Fu Xia came back and told us about the situation, and my mother couldn't help it, said a few sour words, and asked my brother to go on a blind date again. ”

"And then?" Li He felt that there was no problem, "went on a blind date?"

"No blind date! My brother said that if he wants to get married, he has to let him choose by himself, and my mother naturally agrees a hundred times! But I didn't expect such a woman, my mother was angry. ”

"Your parents agreed?"

Li Qiuhong said, "Is it okay to disagree? It's better than my brother fighting a bachelor for the rest of his life, they still have a chance to hold a grandson, and they still have a hope, otherwise they won't have a chance to hold a grandson in this life." My brother's temper, who doesn't understand? It's good, but no one can hold it down when he pouts his hooves, otherwise we would have asked you to help persuade my brother. ”

"It's good if he likes it, he wants to live by himself, and outsiders don't need to care so much. Li He knew that even if he wanted to interfere in Li Aijun's affairs, Li Aijun would not listen to him. He just doesn't understand, from a realistic point of view, ordinary people will not look for this kind of drag, because in terms of material conditions, Li Aijun is absolutely able to count in Mansijiu City, and a large number of girls are willing to line up for him to choose, he has to pick and choose.

"Well, who's to say it's not. Li Qiuhong sighed helplessly.

"The fifteenth, just these days, so anxious?"

"It's my mother who is in a hurry, and finally there is a decision, if there is another moth halfway, her little heart can't stand it, she has to put a nail in front of her, so that my brother has no regrets. Li Qiuhong directly began to ridicule her mother.

"Understand, understand. Li He remembered that when Li Aijun was still repairing shoes, the old lady of the Li family found a mute and a disability for Li Aijun, just like that, they couldn't take their turn back then, a man with a broken leg, a man who lost his ability to move, was more crippled than a cripple!

Even a girl in a remote countryside will not easily give herself away for a city hukou, which is very realistic.

In the past few years, Li Aijun has made a fortune, and he has made a prosthesis, the eyes of the old lady of the Li family have turned up, and the standard for choosing a daughter-in-law is higher and higher.
