Aunt Li didn't pour out her anger as usual. Those things that she encountered before, she could open her mouth and say it, complain about her wife and children, rely on the old and sell the old, and there was no pressure at all. But Uncle Li's affairs, she can't tell her children to know. What Lai Qinghui knows is not the truth.

Aunt Li endured her anger, her face did not show it at all, and said calmly: "What else can I do on the winter solstice?" You're all going to work on the day of the winter solstice, right? Then I bought the ingots and tin foil, and you come over for dinner in the evening, come early, burn it to the old man early, and you will go back early that day. Don't run outside on the night of the winter solstice. You two little ones are reading and working overtime, don't run back. Running back so far, I have to go back in the evening. ”

Aunt Li's last few words were said to her grandchildren.

Although she has experienced Uncle Li's affairs, some of her previous concepts have been impacted, but the ideas that have been ingrained for decades are not so easy to change.

She had actually said this to her three children before. It's just that all three children were still children at that time. At that time, as soon as the winter solstice arrived, there were people burning paper money along the streets at night, and when I went to work the next morning, I could see circles and piles of ashes on the road.

When Aunt Li thought of this, she immediately changed her words, "Don't burn paper money." It has been propagandized in the news, and civilized sacrifices have been swept. When the old man was buried, he didn't burn much, and he didn't burn it on the winter solstice. ”

It's useless to burn it anyway.

Aunt Li pouted in her heart and decided to leave the money.

Li Qinghui was a little anxious and a little deflated.

His two younger sisters didn't feel any different, and they all agreed.

"Then let's come over for dinner on the winter solstice." The eldest daughter Li Bihua said.

"I'll come over early and make dumplings." The youngest daughter Li Yujiao followed and said.

Aunt Li shook her head, "You live so far away, when do you get off work?" Still making dumplings? I don't think you're going to come here. Hey, don't come here on the day of the winter solstice. Come back for dinner next Saturday and Sunday. ”

Aunt Li had an idea for a while, and every time she said it, it was in a commanding tone.

Li Yujiao didn't agree, "What about the winter solstice, how can you not come?" ”

"You didn't come here last year."

Didn't Dad still be there last year? Li Yujiao almost blurted out this sentence, so she swallowed it back.

Aunt Li glanced at Li Yujiao and knew what her youngest daughter wanted to say, but she had no intention of letting her speak.

Not to mention the winter solstice, Aunt Li is not going to make an anniversary sacrifice for Uncle Li next year.

She snorted coldly in her heart, and ate very comfortably with vegetables, not ready to listen to her children talk about this again.

The three siblings looked at each other, and they were like when they were children, grinding and grinding, and they wanted to make demands with their parents, but they didn't dare.

The sons-in-law and daughters-in-law of the Li family generally do not mix at this time.

Li Qinghui's wife, Miao Ying, saw that the atmosphere was not good, laughed, and served Aunt Li vegetables, "Mom, you eat and watch this." Bihua's bone broth is stewed well, and the bones are about to be stewed. ”

Aunt Li laughed, "Her skills are better than mine." Before getting married, she would only cook eggs and fried rice at home, and the old man asked me to teach her, what to teach? I said that when she lived on her own, she would definitely be able to learn, but if she couldn't, she would eat egg fried rice with her son-in-law. He was so worried that he wanted them to buy the house next to us and come to dinner later in the evening. You see, the house is a bad purchase! At that time, I had the opportunity to buy a house on Renmin Road. I showed her the house. ”

As Aunt Li spoke, the topic flew to 108,000 miles.

She glared at her eldest daughter with hatred.

What can Li Bihua say?

Her husband smiled: "Mom, you just remember that she cooks deliciously now." In the first two years of our marriage, didn't we all eat with you? ”

"yes. I'll be a cook, a nanny, a mother, and a child. Aunt Li snorted, "After so many years, I am finally blessed now." ”

"Where is this? You will enjoy the blessings of Wenwen and Xixi in the future. ”

The two children were smiling.

Aunt Li also laughed, "I'll just wait for the two of you to take me to enjoy the blessings." As for you, one will take the college entrance examination well, and the other will look for a job after graduation, and I will be satisfied. It's been a critical two years. You adults too, children need to be careful, you always think about tossing things. She changed her words, pulled the topic back, and expressed her attitude again.

The three brothers and sisters of Li Qinghui knew that there was no room for manoeuvre.

Aunt Li has the right idea, and no one can stop her.

For example, what she said about Li Bihua's two families getting married and buying a house. If she doesn't agree, can she really let the little couple buy a house nearby? Even if you are in a hurry, you have to drive people to Renmin Road to buy a house. At that time, no one expected that housing prices would rise as they are now. Aunt Li was just an afterthought, and she put all the responsibility for the original incident on Uncle Li's head.

Then again, if Li Bihua and his wife really bought a house on Renmin Road, the newlywed life of the two would definitely be in a hurry, and there would be many inconveniences when they became pregnant, gave birth to children, were confined, and took care of children. More than ten years ago, it was not like now, it was convenient to have a car and public transportation at home, and it was not like now, if you want to eat, you can order takeout, do housework, and take children can hire a nanny. These things either fall on the young couple, so that they have to make a choice between work and family, or they are tired of Aunt Li and her in-laws have to have someone to move in with the young couple and be a "nanny" for the young couple. Aunt Li has three children who are not much different in age, how to level a bowl of water? Her three in-laws are all about the same age as her, and there are two or three children in the family, so they can't be busy. Maybe it will evolve into a family conflict, how can there be such a relaxed family atmosphere now?

Let the Li family do it all over again, and they may still make the same decision.

Uncle Li's matter is the same.

This is something that their old husband and wife have discussed, and they both feel that they should hide it from their children.

Let Li Qinghui find out, it can only be said to be an expected accident. Li Qinghui knows a little "truth", and Aunt Li will not be suspected by her children if she "behaves abnormally" in the future. If she wants to see Uncle Li, she doesn't have to go to great lengths to hide.

When this family dinner was over, the children packed up the dishes, chopsticks, and garbage, and Aunt Li sent them out together, so she secretly calculated it.

They don't need to worship Uncle Li, but she can go and see Uncle Li.

Aunt Li didn't want to admit it, but after decades of old husband and wife, there was suddenly no one in the family, how could she get used to it?

She took out her mobile phone and sent Uncle Li an application for video chat.

The phone rings non-stop.

Aunt Li was a little impatient.

This old man, I thought he would finally be able to play with his mobile phone, but now he doesn't answer the phone. I must have thrown my phone somewhere, and I didn't hear a sound. Behind the ear......

Aunt Li thought about it in her heart, and finally saw that her video application was accepted.

Uncle Li's ears occupy the entire screen.

"Why should you call? Move your phone in front of your face. Aunt Li said angrily.

"Oooh. Oh......" Uncle Li moved his mobile phone and was startled when he saw Aunt Li's face.

"What are you doing? It's been a long time since I've seen my old face, and I'm not used to it? You're seeing pretty girls every day, aren't you? Female white-collar workers, very good-looking. Aunt Li said in a weird way.

"What do you say?" Uncle Li was helpless, "Why did you think of calling me?" Is there something wrong with the family? ”

"What can happen at home? I can't call you? What's the good thing delaying you? "Aunt Li has a bad tone.

"I was going to go out with Xiao Li." Uncle Li replied honestly.

"What are you doing when you go out with Xiao Li? What are you bothering people to do? Aunt Li frowned.

"Isn't it going to be the winter solstice? I thought about buying some paper money and burning some for the old dragon. Winter solstice...... There might be news from the old dragon, right? The first few times, the signal was not good. Uncle Li frowned, "Xiao Li also wants to take advantage of the winter solstice to find his parents." There is no news from his family so far. ”

Aunt Li's thorns all over her body were put away, "It's time to get in touch." Can the old dragon come out? Doesn't it say that during the winter solstice, all those who die will come up from below? Can you come up and see your loved ones? She asked curiously.

"It should be possible. But after Xiao Li inquired about this matter, he could only take the initiative over there. If they don't want to leave the capital and come to the yang world, then there is no way. Uncle Li replied, looking at Aunt Li on the screen, "You called, did you want to talk about the winter solstice?" I'm thinking I'll call you tomorrow. ”

Aunt Li said: "Don't worry, I told my son and daughter that they don't have to come over for the winter solstice, and I won't burn paper money for you this year." ”

"Oh." Uncle Li didn't care about this, "I was thinking, I'll go back." ”

Aunt Li was stunned, and her attitude softened, "Then when will you come back?" ”

"See when you can buy a ticket. Definitely coming back before the winter solstice. Xiao Li sent me back, settled me down, and he went back to his hometown. When the winter solstice is over, he will pick me up and go back with him. ”

Aunt Li felt that the development of this plot was different from what she expected.

"You're all going back to your hometown? What are the rules? Aunt Li asked, her voice hardening again.

"There are no rules. It was I who discussed it with Xiao Li. They couldn't reach us, so they certainly didn't know what was going on with us. If Xiao Li's parents go to see him, they will definitely go home. If the old dragon wants to come to me, he will definitely come to the house to look for me. I just waited at home. That's what just came to mind. The paper money I just bought was burned directly, and I didn't hear any response. On the day of the winter solstice, I have to buy some more paper money......," Uncle Li explained.

"You don't watch the news, do you?" Aunt Li angrily interrupted Uncle Li's words.

Uncle Li was stunned.

"It's all said that the civilized sacrifice sweep, what paper money do you burn? You don't look like it's going to work over there. Our funeral shop here is going to close down, and you still sell paper money there? Do you know that burning tin foil and yellow table paper pollutes the environment? Have you thought about future generations? Do you know how bad that haze and that PM2.5 is? Now that the New Year's fireworks are not allowed to be released, are you still thinking about burning paper money? "Aunt Li is like a machine gun, and she said a lot.

Uncle Li had long been accustomed to Aunt Li's style, and said with a headache: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm here to educate you ideologically. You kicked it off with both feet, and it was easy. Now I stay in someone's office building, and no one cares. You don't know that the neighborhood committee has been promoting civilized winter solstice for the past two days. Xiao Chen drew the blackboard newspaper, and posted a lot of propaganda columns. They also had to go from house to house and talk to the shopkeepers who sold tin foil. Do you know how hard they work? You're fine, and you're still thinking about burning paper money. Burn you big-headed ghost! ”

"Alright, alright. If you don't burn, you won't burn. Uncle Li immediately relented.

He didn't care so much about whether he burned paper money or not.

He himself has become like this, and he also exchanged WeChat accounts with Jiang Longchang, even if he doesn't burn paper, he can find a way to get in touch.

No matter how bad it is, please ask Bai Wuchang to look for it.

It's not that Uncle Li hadn't thought of this method before, but before, they couldn't contact Black and White Impermanence, and now that the winter solstice is imminent, they are not in a hurry to trouble Bai Impermanence to do this.

Uncle Li can also see that Bai Wuchang is cold-faced and hot-hearted, and Black Impermanence is cold-hearted and cold-hearted, the latter is what they ask for, and he may not necessarily agree to do this kind of thing outside of work, the former is that Uncle Li and Li Yun are embarrassed to "bully" each other. Especially after Li Yun contacted Bai Wuchang several times and got an instant response, they were even more embarrassed to trouble Bai Wuchang because of their trivial matters. Bai Wuchang has an important position, and it is too late to catch those evil ghosts, so he will be a messenger for them, so what's going on?

Uncle Li was very open-minded, and Aunt Li lost her temper, so he agreed to Aunt Li's words. He didn't ask Aunt Li why she lost her temper. For such a trivial matter, he has to take care of it, and it is impossible for him to get along with Aunt Li for decades.

"There are no local products here in Yaocheng. What do you want, you tell me, I'll bring it back when I come back. Uncle Li changed the subject.

"You said there are no souvenirs, what can I want?" Aunt Li's tone was still a little choking, but she didn't reprimand her face again.

"Oh. Then I'll set a time and call you again. Don't come and pick me up. Xiao Li may find me a hotel near my home. We'll see when the time comes, and where we'll see you. It's really not good, you tell Ah Hui. Winter solstice......"

"What do you say to Ah Hui? He wants me to bring you back on the winter solstice today. I look at that stinky boy, just thinking about you. Aunt Li said, "I pulled him up with a handful of and urine, he was fine, and in the end he was still towards you." Neither of you father nor son is a thing. ”

"Why isn't it a thing?" Uncle Li made a straight face, not happy that Aunt Li said to the eldest son, "Isn't he supposed to be towards me?" I'm gone, and he can't think about it anymore? Even if he thinks of me again, he is also close to you. In the past, if there was anything you said, he was busy helping you do it. When do you see when he did this to me? ”

Aunt Li had nothing to say.

"You too, don't be like a child. People say old children, old children, you really think of yourself as a child. When I was still here, you were fine, I was always next to you, and they were angry again, and they had to be filial to us. I'm gone, you're alone, tell me, what if something happens, and you don't even have someone to call around? ”

"I'll go find you then." Aunt Li blurted out.

Uncle Li made a tiger face, "Nonsense! What do you want? You're good. Don't play with Ah Hui and them. They are filial enough, and they come to see us twice in three days. They also have their own things to keep busy. You still mess with them, aren't they uncomfortable? When the time comes, what should I do? Don't treat them like children anymore, and don't think of yourself like children. You're good, you're happy, they're happy, and I'm relieved. Do you really want to come to me? Or go to that ghost town? When you get there, your phone, the one with the puppy and kitten's head, the game, the square dance you watched, and the others, are all gone. Can you get by? ”

Aunt Li kept a straight face, but she didn't refute.

"You, you have to be careful. Do you remember what I told you? There are good and bad things in this ghost. You have to be careful. Uncle Li told again.

"Where else but you old ghost, where else can I see the hell?" Aunt Li's temper is back.

The old couple quarreled again before ending the call.

Aunt Li thought of Uncle Li's advice and looked at the time, so she could only put down the thoughts in her heart for the time being.

The next day, Aunt Li went to the neighborhood committee, saw Xiao Chen, greeted him with a smile, and asked about the surrounding grave sweeping shuttle.
