Chapter 8: Returning Home
The Li family has been busy since dawn today, killing chickens and ducks, because according to the telegram, Li Minghui and they should be home this morning.
Li Xiao saw that she was almost ready, so she ran to the village store to wait, because she wanted to see her father early
In fact, the commissary is just a large wooden board with two benches, and some sodas, sweets, spices, and so on are placed on it. It is now eight or nine years that the number of self-employed people has just increased, and if you dared to go out to set up a stall to sell things in the early years, you would be speculative and would be arrested. Although self-employed people are now allowed to do business, in-demand goods such as sugar, oil, and cloth still have to be bought at the supply and marketing cooperatives.
The sun was shining warmly on his body, and Li Xiao waited for a long time, and saw his father walking next to the aquatic uncle's ox cart in the same village and coming back, in addition to Wang Xiaomei and her sister Li Yan sitting on the ox cart, there were also a few big bags
"Dad, I miss you so much"
"Xiaoxiao, Dad misses you too, you've grown taller again" Li Minghui hugged his daughter who threw himself into his arms, and his cold and hard expression softened
"It's so cold outside, why don't you stay at home?"
"Dad, I want to see you sooner," Li smiled coquettishly
"Yo, Xiaoxiao can become a big girl, there is only your father in her eyes" Wang Xiaomei felt uncomfortable, this dead girl would pretend to be good, and Li Minghui was not so good to her face. Not to mention that people's hearts are not right, and everything in their eyes is crooked, in fact, Li Minghui is also very concerned about Li Yan, but Li Yan is always behaving in front of him, and he is a little afraid of him, unlike Li Xiao who always pesters him to be coquettish whenever he sees him, so his relationship with his two daughters is naturally different
"Auntie, sister, I'm tired of riding in the car all the way, I'll be home soon, I can take a good rest" Li Xiao ignored Wang Xiaomei's sour words, and greeted Li Yan who got down from the ox cart
"Sister, it's cuter if I haven't seen you for two years"
"Sister, you are beautiful" Li Yan suppressed the unwillingness in her heart and said, she has always disliked this sister, she is better at studying than her, and she is good-looking, even her father likes her more, you must know that she has always grown up by her father's side, and her father should like her more
"Okay, hurry up and go back, your grandparents must be in a hurry," Li Minghui urged, knowing that people were still waiting for the ox cart
When the group arrived home, it was naturally a lively one, and when they paid for the ox cart, Xu Hong looked at the big bags and small bags in the living room and said to his son, "Why do you bring so many things when you go home, what is there at home?"
"Mom, it's just a few pieces of fabric and a few pairs of shoes, and a little bit of food."
"Ouch, Mom, don't you know, Minghui has bought a lot of things, I don't know how much money it spent" Speaking of this, Wang Xiaomei became angry, she didn't know that Li Minghui still had so much money in his hands
Li Yan looked at his father's sinking face, and quickly said, "Grandparents, let's see if you like this fabric, and whether this shoe fits, this is what we will choose together."
"Yes, I'll take a look" Xu Hong agreed, she didn't want her son to be angry on the first day he came back
"Eh, I'll take a look too, if my father buys something ugly, I won't follow it" Li Xiao also stepped forward
Li Minghui watched his daughter being funny there, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and walked to Li Gen and sat down to talk about his life in the past two years. He didn't want to be unhappy when he came back on the first day, as for Wang Xiaomei, hum! It seemed that he was too tolerant of her
