"Ai?"

The two sisters looked at each other and jumped up immediately.

"Great, Brother Nan is coming back!"

"Great, Brother Dong is coming back!"

Hearing his sister's silly words, Li Yuanbei immediately gave her a slap, "Are you stupid? Li Xiangnan is our eldest brother, why are you calling Li Chaodong brother!"

"Sister!" Li Dingxi covered his head in grievance, "Li Chaodong always bullies me and forces me to call him brother! He also told me to call Li Xiangnan by his name, otherwise he won't buy me the picture book..."

"This bastard..."

Li Yuanbei started to curse immediately, but when he saw his second uncle's eyes widen, he quickly covered his mouth and said, "I'm wrong, second uncle, I shouldn't say bad words here!"

She pulled her sister and called her out, saying hatefully, "He bullied you, when he comes back one day I will punish him!"

"Sister, he is bigger than you, can you beat him?" Li Dingxi seemed to be used to being bullied.

"Have you forgotten that we still have an older brother! You'd better remember this, our only brother is Li Xiangnan! Li Chaodong is only a few days older than me, so he is our peer!" Li Yuanbei said domineeringly.

"Let's go back and eat! After you finish eating, hurry to the county town!" Li Dequan tidied up the incense table, waved and took Li Fugui out.

As soon as he got out of the door, he called Li Yuanbei to his side and said with a smile: "Yuanbei, isn't Chaodong also your brother? Then you came out a few seconds earlier than Dingxi, so aren't you also her sister? You can't have the final say!"

"Grandpa, I know!" Li Yuanbei was very confident, "This is the grudge between us younger generations, I know it!"

Li Fugui was so angry that he laughed, "Hey, how old are you? You still have grudges?"

"Of course!" Li Yuanbei raised his fist and said, "Second uncle, when Chaodong went to school in the city, he always laughed at my eldest brother for doing nothing in the countryside. Wasn't my eldest brother sad?

It's not his fault that he stayed in the countryside! Now, my eldest brother has not only taken root in Yanjing, but also won the national championship!

Now, I don’t see who dares to brag anymore, even those who used to look down on him! The first person I will deal with is Li Chaodong!"

Li Fugui was a little dazed, and his nose felt a little sore.

Li Yuanbei is young, but he has described most of the current situations in rural areas.

One kind of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people.

Although most people in rural areas are good people, there are indeed a small number of people who have the mentality of laughing at others without hating others, despising others who are poor and fearing others who are rich.

When Li Xiangnan was around in the village, there were indeed a lot of people gossiping about him.

Li Dequan's beard trembled as he joked, "That's a lesson to be learned! Aid the North, Grandpa is waiting for your result! Don't forget to tell Grandpa!"

"Well! Grandpa, when will my eldest brother come back? I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Li Dequan held his two granddaughters, one on each side, and looked at the deep and dark mountains. He smiled and said, "Tomorrow, tomorrow, our top scholar will be back!"

……

Hongshan County, Li Fuqiang’s home.

Tong Yu brought a plate of pickles and a bowl of porridge from the kitchen and placed them in front of Li Fuqiang who was eating a steamed bun. Seeing that he finished his breakfast very quickly, he reminded him:

"Fuqiang, eat slowly! It's only seven o'clock! It's still early for work!"

"There's a lot to do today, so we have to go early!"

Li Fuqiang shook his head and glanced at the kitchen.

Tong Yu understood and said expectantly, "I've already bought the old hen. I didn't want to wake you up, so I asked Lao Jiang downstairs to kill it and stew it! When Nan Nan gets home in the evening, the chicken will be very fragrant and it's just right for us to have some chicken soup!"

"Well, Nan Nan likes to eat the fermented bean curd made by his mother, so make some in the evening to go with rice!

The child has been tired on the train all day, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat well! Go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some fine noodles, and ask around to see which store still has leeks. Borrow some and make some dumplings with them. He loves them!"

Hearing her husband's detailed instructions, Tong Yu smiled and said, "You don't need to tell me! I have everything else ready except for the fine noodles! I'll ask Chaodong to tutor the girl from the Fang family today. I'll ask her mother for some leeks. She told me about it yesterday!"

"Well, we must reciprocate and not let others think we are taking advantage!" Li Fuqiang nodded, praising his wife's wisdom.

"No way! Be careful! Your family has a good reputation around here!" Tong Yu smiled and tucked her hair behind her ears.

Li Fuqiang drank a mouthful of porridge and glanced at the room. "What time is it? Didn't you say you were going to help the street office write a big-character poster? Why aren't you up yet at this hour?"

Tong Yu smiled and said, "We're scheduled for 8:30, there's still a little while left, I'll ask Chaodong to get up after you leave!"

Li Fuqiang nodded, ate for a while, quickly packed his briefcase and prepared to leave. As if remembering something, he asked again, "Is this kid still in such a bad mood recently?"

Hearing this, Tong Yu smiled, "So what do you say? Ever since you came back last time and told him that Nan Nan got the top score in the national exam, it was such a shock to him that he started to doubt his life!"

"Humph, if this kid fails to recover, I will look down on him!"

Li Fuqiang walked to the mirror and combed his hair while saying, "I'm busy with work and sometimes I can't take care of him. You should educate him more at home!

If you have a jealous mentality, you should intervene early. This is not advisable! Besides, Nannan is the son of our Li family! We are all family!"

Tong Yu straightened his collar and nodded, "I know! The child is in the rebellious stage of growth now, I know it!"

"Hmm!" Li Fuqiang looked at himself in the mirror, very satisfied, and walked to the door to change his shoes. "By the way, the second son may come to the county town at noon, you can cook some food to entertain him! The third son can also come after get off work in the evening, don't neglect your family!"

"Don't worry! I know!" Tong Yu opened the door, nodded, and quickly asked, "Is Qiu Ju coming?"

"She probably can't come. The family depends on her! The fact that our Li family can thrive now is inseparable from the support of you good wives!" Li Fuqiang sighed.

"You are already an old married couple, and you are still saying thank you! Go now!"

As soon as Li Fuqiang left, Tong Yu closed the door and went to the dining room to clean up the dishes, then quickly went to the second bedroom.

She didn't even knock on the door, she just pushed it open and walked in.

Li Chaodong jumped up from the desk, crawled into the quilt, pulled the quilt over himself, and fell asleep with his head inside.

Tong Yu was stunned. He walked to the desk and took a look. He found a physics textbook spread out on it with notes next to it.

She reached out and touched the wooden chair and found it was warm. She guessed that the boy had gotten up long ago and was reading.

It seems that Li Xiangnan got the first place in the country in the college entrance examination. This was a great stimulation to this kid, and he started to work hard!

"Chaodong, your brother Nan will be back tonight, did you know that?"

Tong Yu gave a reminder, but Li Chaodong didn't move.

"Then you should get up early. You still have to help the neighborhood committee write something later. Do your volunteer work well! The meal is ready!"

Seeing that he remained silent, Tong Yu did not force him to express his opinion. She smiled and reminded him, then left the room.

After closing the door, Tong Yu smiled and said, "Such a young child still cares about his reputation. It's so funny!"

"call!"

Li Chaodong opened his eyes and took a deep breath. He sat up, glanced at the sky outside, raised his fist and said:

"Brother Nan, I will never be outdone by you!"
