Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

"Nannan, are you hungry? It's so cold in the middle of the night, why don't you wear more clothes?"

Zhu Qiuju held her son's hand tightly and looked him up and down. Her tone was stern, reproachful, but also full of care.

"We had some steamed buns at noon, and we deliberately saved some for dinner! Mom, is dinner ready?" Li Xiangnan let his mother hold his hands and smiled honestly.

The parents I had been thinking about all the way finally saw each other at this moment, and my wish along the way was fulfilled.

When I came here, I hoped that time would fly by quickly. Now I hope that time can go slower and slower.

Li Xiangnan cherishes the pauses between speaking.

"It's ready! Like a greedy cat!" Zhu Qiuju scratched her son's nose, stretched her head over him and looked back. After a long look, she said in dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you bring Ruobai back?"

"Mom, look at what you said! It's not time for her to take a home visit leave yet!" Li Xiangnan grinned.

"You kid!"

Hearing her son talking about marriage, Zhu Qiuju pushed him, but her eyes were full of smiles.

"Mom, this is Jingyang and his senior brother Zhang Zhisheng, this is Defa! And Miss Jiang from the Qimen Jiang family!" After the greetings, Li Xiangnan immediately introduced the people behind him to his mother.

"Auntie!" Zhang Jingyang called out familiarly and kindly.

Before Zhang Zhisheng could say anything, Zhu Qiuju noticed something was wrong with him and walked over quickly. "Xiao Zhang, Nannan called and wrote several times to tell me that you guys were coming. I've been looking forward to it every day. Your uncle has made several crutches for Xiao Zhang! Kid, did you get hurt on the way?"

Zhang Jingyang smiled and led his brother forward.

"Auntie, you are so thoughtful!" Zhang Zhisheng stretched out his hand, and Zhu Qiuju hurried forward to shake it.

"You are all Nan Nan's friends, this is as it should be!" Zhu Qiuju smiled, turned to look at Wang Defa, saw his eyes sparkling brightly, and sneered, "This is Defa?"

"Hello, Auntie!" Wang Defa stood at attention obediently and tried to suck in his stomach, but failed and it popped out again.

This scene caused people around to laugh.

"I saw it was you, the food is so delicious!"

"..." Wang Defa's face froze, and for the first time ever, he nodded shyly.

"Hahaha!" Jiang Qitao and Li Dingxi and Li Yuanbei behind her laughed particularly happily.

"Miss Jiang! I've heard about your help to Nan Nan. It's all thanks to you! Come on, Auntie has cooked a lot of delicious food for you upstairs! Let's go upstairs and eat!" Zhu Qiuju saw that she was wearing the She ethnic minority's clothing, and she felt kind to her. She walked up to her, took her arm, and invited her to go upstairs. When she stepped into the corridor, she shouted, "Auntie, Third Auntie, the children are back!"

Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the corridor.

Li Fuqiang and others picked up all the things on the ground with a clang and went in with a smile.

Wang Defa hugged Li Xiangnan and shouted to the back: "Brother Zhang, please hurry up! I can't wait to eat this meal from the Li family!"

"Here I come!" Zhang Jingyang pretended to hold his senior brother's arm.

"Brother Zhang, let me do it!" Li Chaodong was very attentive. He took a step forward to help Zhang Zhisheng and said with a smile, "Brother, let me take care of you during your time in Lijia Village!"

"You kid!" Zhang Jingyang grinned.

Li Xiangnan picked up the remaining packages from the car and watched the group of people enter the corridor one by one. He looked at the small light on the second floor behind the bright and clean window, and his heart felt warm as spring.

The last time he went back home was also at midnight. Although it was half a year ago, every time he thought of it, he would always be haunted, as if it was just yesterday.

"It feels so good to be home!" he murmured and walked into the corridor.

The meal lasted for two hours. In order not to disturb the neighbors, everyone talked in low voices and chatted in low voices. The atmosphere of gathering was in everyone's heart.

At night, the women slept in one room, the adults slept in another room, and Li Xiangnan and his fellow apprentices Defa, Li Chaodong and Zhang Jingyang slept on the floor in the living room.

When he was about to go to bed, he saw his mother coming downstairs with a flashlight and a basin. Li Xiangnan quickly stopped her in his slippers.

"Mom, it's so late, just leave it there. It's so cold and dark outside. You can wash it tomorrow morning. Go to bed now!"

When Li Xiangnan saw the socks of the young and old in the family in the basin, he knew that his mother was going to do the laundry.

"Not much, I'll be done soon!" Zhu Qiuju smiled and waved her hands, shaking the flashlight. "The water pipes were frozen for a while last night, and your aunt finally used hot water to thaw them. I took the opportunity to take a shower together, otherwise I would have to go get ice again tomorrow morning..."

"Then I'll accompany you! Wait for a moment!" Li Xiangnan went back into the house and came out with a thermos in his hand, "Wash with hot water! Don't freeze your hands!"

"My son is so nice!" Zhu Qiuju took her son's arm and went downstairs.

The two came to the pool in the yard. Li Xiangnan helped with the flashlight while Zhu Qiuju slowly began to wash socks.

"I heard from your grandmother that you have bought everything?"

"Well, I bought a three-wheeler and a ring, and also a TV. If others have it, Ruobai can't be worse off! This TV was bought with the money and tickets from Defa and his colleagues..."

Zhu Qiuju was slightly startled, turned her head and looked upstairs, and whispered: "Then you must know how to be grateful! When washing dishes, your grandmother specifically reminded me that although Defa is careless and sometimes speaks harshly, he is very sincere and is afraid of being bullied by others! I understand this feeling, the child is very pitiful! Don't let him and his friends down, you must treat them sincerely!"

"Mom, I know!"

Li Xiangnan deeply agreed with this.

I chatted with my mother for a long time, and it seemed like we would never run out of topics.

Thinking of something, Li Xiangnan asked with concern: "Grandpa is alone at home, is everything okay?"

"It's impossible for him to come all by himself! During the time when your grandmother went to Yanjing, your father brought your grandfather to live with us! With your grandfather accompanying him, they play chess together every day. I think they are very happy when we leave! Both of them have difficulty walking, so they can be a perfect couple!"

Li Xiangnan thought of the cute looks of the two old men and grinned, "That's great! Shall we go back tomorrow morning?"

"Well, we'll go back tomorrow morning! Your uncle has borrowed a tractor from the farm, so we can share a tractor! Go to bed early! Let's go, son!"

When he came back, the lights in both rooms were turned off. He told his mother to go to bed. Only then did Li Xiangnan squeeze under the bed and get under the quilt with a flashlight.

"Xiao Li, why did it take so long to wash these socks?"

"Fuck, Fatty, it's already so late why aren't you asleep yet?"

When Li Xiangnan turned around, he saw Wang Defa looking at him with shining eyes, and he was stunned.

"I can't sleep!" Wang Defa put his hand on his head and thought about something.

"What's wrong? Are you having trouble adapting to the local climate?" Li Xiangnan teased him.

"No!" Wang Defa pursed his lips and said seriously: "Xiao Li, do you think I can become a member of the Li family? Please write a name for me in your family tree and let me change my surname..."

"What are you thinking about! Have you been bribed by just one meal? Don't you want to leave?"

"I don't want to leave! It's good here! Better than Yanjing!" Wang Defa said devoutly.

"Do you really think that my Li family is so casual? You can't be included in the family tree!" Li Xiangnan laughed, "But there is a way to make you a member of the Li family!"

"What?" Wang Defa suddenly became interested and even sat up.

"When we return to Yanjing, we'll go through the formalities and you'll let me adopt you! Then I can change my last name!" Li Xiangnan patted him on the shoulder, his eyes burning with enthusiasm: "From now on, we'll be separate. I'll call you brother, and you'll call me dad!"

"roll!"

"Hahahaha!"

Li Chaodong, Zhang Jingyang and Zhang Zhisheng could be heard laughing, having been suppressing their laughter for a long time.

"Fuck, you guys are all awake?" Wang Defa wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

"Fat brother, how can you hear such good news if you are asleep! No, fat nephew, from now on you have to call me uncle, Uncle Chaodong... Hey, hey, hey, nephew, don't pull my ears..."

"..."
