Li Erbao is sleeping soundly in the small bed, Li Yadong wants to tease him, the little guy has to sleep at least seventeen or eighteen hours a day, his mother has chicken, duck and fish, breast milk is also enough, the meat on his body is rubbing up, looking like a piglet.

"Erbao, don't make grandma angry at home, otherwise your uncle will beat you when he comes back for the New Year. He said as he lay on the edge of the bed.

Liu Jinju on the side pursed her lips and smiled, "The little uncle is talking nonsense again, this is just a little older child, I don't know if you can walk when you come back next year, where can you be angry." ”

Li Yadong smiled, and after glancing at her, he didn't reply.

After the third sister-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy, her status in the family rose, and his mother had to give up a few points, there are four words called "inch by inch", which is particularly applicable to her, he clearly remembers that her mother was not less angry for a while after that.

She has just suffered a major crime, and she is still in confinement, and Li Yadong is not easy to say directly, but the third brother must give him a good advice, in short, his mother can't be wronged at all.

Today's Spring Festival, because there are too many things happening, and they have not been interrupted, so it feels like time flies very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it means that the year has passed.

The store in the county reopened on the ninth day of the first month, and his second brother and second brother-in-law changed their guards, and he sat in the town to observe and guide for two days, and he was basically on the regular, and there was no big problem.

wanted to buy a tractor, his second brother was reluctant, saying that he had contacted a long-term master, and the price was not expensive, so Li Yadong would go with him, and the money had already been given to him anyway.

The duck factory will continue to develop and expand the scale, although there are four employees, but his eldest cousin Hu Wen is alone, he feels that he is still a little weaker, on the tenth day of the first month, his fourth sister returned to the door, Li Yadong mentioned to Huang Guodong, let the two of them go to the duck factory to help, the fourth sister is experienced, do management, will not be too tired, Huang Guodong said to think about it, probably reluctant to let go of the carpenter's craft, but Li Yadong felt that he would go in the end, because being a carpenter could not make so much money.

The affairs at home can be regarded as being handled very well, and Li Yadong is also preparing to leave for Beijing, and it is a little unpleasant to skip school again this year, after all, he has returned early a year ago.

But before that, he had one more thing to do.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, he rode a foot to the cotton company.

In the small dormitory, the eldest brother is still not there, I am afraid that he will go to the workshop to work again, only the sister-in-law and niece.

I didn't think it before, when I came here again, looking at the small room of less than 20 square meters, and being crowded with a bunch of sundries, Li Yadong felt unspeakably uncomfortable, his eldest brother's temper was too strong. It's the kind that recognizes a path, goes all the way to the dark, and doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back.

Now the five brothers and sisters in the family are the worst in their family.

If he could, Li Yadong didn't mind bringing over a bag of money directly, but the key was that his eldest brother was not the fourth sister, Li Yadong dared to vouch for it with a head, if he really did it, not only would he not be good, but he would be scolded.

After all, the eldest brother has the pride of the eldest brother.

"Xiaodong, why don't you come over and say hello in advance, there is no preparation at all, you sit down, I'll buy a chicken, and I'll make you your favorite potato roast chicken at noon." Chen Yue'e looked at the slightly cluttered room and said with some embarrassment.

She is not a sloppy woman, but sometimes it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, the place is so big, there are always a lot of things that have been stored for more than ten years, and she has already done her best to pick up the place where she can put her feet.

Li Yadong didn't say that potato roast chicken is no longer his favorite dish, many things are changing imperceptibly, the taste is changing, the age is changing, and the thoughts are also changing, and this old Li family's long house should also change.

"Sister-in-law, don't be busy, I eat too much greasy things during the New Year, and I don't have much appetite......

Li Yadong pulled Chen Yue'e and motioned Li Tingting not to be distracted, and after obediently lying on the windowsill to do her homework, the two sat on the edge of the bed and started talking.

"Xiaodong, in fact, if you don't speak, I know what you have to say, you are kind-hearted, but your eldest brother's stubborn donkey, the eight horses can't pull back the things that are recognized, and I quarreled with him for this matter, and you can see ......" Chen Yue'e sighed, a little angry in her heart, but she couldn't talk about being uncomfortable.

Her man is stubborn, but her righteousness is also incomparable to ordinary people, isn't it because of this that she fell in love with him at the beginning, so what is there to complain about now?

Li Yadong couldn't help frowning slightly, he really didn't know about this matter, he originally came here today to let his sister-in-law do the work of being the eldest brother, but who would have thought that the work had already been done, but unfortunately it didn't succeed.

The two were silent for a while, and neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Li Yadong suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "There is!"

"What's the matter? Is there a way for you to get your eldest brother to quit his job at the cotton company?" Chen Yue'e shook her head, obviously not convinced.

"Nope. Li Yadong waved his hand and said: "Let him do it first, I think he will figure it out one day, I'm not talking about him, but about you." ”

"Me?" Chen Yue'e didn't know why.

"That's right, sister-in-law!" Li Yadong said with a smile: "Aren't you still working?"

After hearing this, Chen Yue'e couldn't help but light up in her eyes, she has actually always wanted to find a job, if it can be nearby, it is the best, just because the education level is too low, the career establishment is really difficult to arrange, Rao is husband is a small leader in the factory, and if she doesn't get it, she will be said to go through the back door, plus her daughter is a day student, after all, it is not far away, and she has to spend more money, usually three meals a day have to be eaten at home, and she has no time to separate.

But if you make a living in your own family, these problems will be easy to solve, and many things are easy to discuss as a family.

"Be careful!" she couldn't help but smile.

"Yes......" Li Yadong also smiled, he really wanted to praise his wit, his sister-in-law wanted to participate in the work, and his eldest brother had no reason to stumble over this.

As long as someone in their family enters the family business, can they still get less money?

To put it mildly, there are losses and gains in doing business, draw a big pie, even if you lose, Li Yadong will post it to them. This money is the income of labor, so it won't feel hot in your hands, right?

"That'...... Later, Lao Li will come back for dinner, and I will talk to him?" Chen Yue'e had a little excitement on her face, and she made up her mind that this thing would not work, her daughter was about to go to high school, and there were more places to use the money.

"Good. Li Yadong smiled and nodded.

Chen Yue'e was in a good mood, and she couldn't pull it back, so she went to the vegetable market and bought an old hen back.

Approaching noon, Li Yamin walked up to the dormitory building with his hands behind his back, and he smelled it from afar and knew that this meal was a blessing.

"Comrade Chen Yue'e, it's not easy, the iron rooster plucks its feathers, and I'm finally willing to improve the food......"

As soon as he walked in from the door, Chen Yue'e replied angrily, "You are an iron rooster!"

"Oh, I'll just say, it was Xiaodong who came. Li Yamin laughed.

After the meal was served, Chen Yue'e brewed for a while, then told the matter, and after it was over, she didn't forget to get a dose of vaccination.

"I don't care, it's settled, if you don't agree, I have to go, Tingting told her here, and she herself said that the food there must be better than at home, and it's close, and I'm willing to go." As for you, when I have enough salary to buy you a bicycle, it's just lunch anyway, and you can ride over if you want to eat, and if you don't want to, you can solve it in the cafeteria. ”

"Not negotiable?"

"Nope!"

"Oh, then you can go......" Li Yamin smiled far-fetchedly, not embarrassed, but guilty.

For his wife and daughter, he is really guilty, he has lived a hard life with himself for so many years, he has his own beliefs and persistence, but he can't ask his family to advocate his beliefs the same, that is to engage in individualistic line, it is not right.

Li Yadong and Chen Yue'e looked at each other, both of them looked a little surprised, although they expected that this matter would be successful in the end, but they didn't expect it to be so easy.

There is no doubt that after such a big change in the family, if Li Yamin's thinking has not changed at all, it is also false.

After this matter was settled, Li Yadong's mood was extremely happy, and he took his sister-in-law to the workshop in the afternoon and said hello to the second sister.

Li Chunlan was also very happy, I don't know why the old stubborn big brother suddenly opened up, and she was willing to let her daughter-in-law come out and work with them. Either way, it's a good thing.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Yadong could no longer delay, and his mother, who said goodbye early in the morning, embarked on a journey back to Beijing.

Most of the family was in the county, and they went to the station to see him off, back and forth several times, and everyone was used to it, without crying and crying, and in a burst of laughter, they sent away the long-distance bus.

The green train "Kuqi Kuqi" traveled all the way to the north, slow is really slow, fortunately, Li Yadong was in a good mood, but he didn't feel tormented.

Before going home, Gong Yu specially explained that when she returned to Beijing, she called her, obviously planning to come over to pick up the car. Li Yadong's mind had already flown home at that time, and after refusing a few words to no avail, he casually agreed, and suddenly remembered when he got off the train.

To fight or not to fight?

In the end, I decided to fight, otherwise Miss Gong might be mad, and I really couldn't do it for such a trivial matter.

Outside the Beijing Railway Station, after waiting shivering in the cold wind for more than half an hour, the red Polonaise finally appeared.

However, when Li Yadong saw Gong Yu, he was stunned, black hat, black coat, black gloves, black leather shoes, and a black sweater inside, do you want to make it so cool, like a crow...... Well, maybe it's more appropriate to call a black swan.

"Li Yadong. ”

"Huh?" Gong Yu didn't have a smile after getting out of the car, and even had a feeling of wanting to cry, things were a bit abnormal, and Li Yadong was confused for a while.

"My great-grandfather, ...... gone"

"What?!"

Li Yadong was shocked, this kind of thing couldn't be used as a joke, and hurriedly asked, "When is it?"

"Just a week after you go home. Gong Yu replied with red eyes.

Li Yadong hurriedly threw down the salute in his hand, ran to her, and continued to ask, "Didn't you say you had a cold, how could it be?"

"Respiratory Infections, Complications ......"

"Buzz!"

Li Yadong was stunned for a moment, watching two lines of tears slip down her fair cheeks, and stood directly on the spot.

After a long time, he muttered to himself, "Dead?"
