"Xiao Hai'er, Dongwazi, you are our honored guests for coming to Lijia Village today! Come to our home and have a chat!"

Li Dequan stretched out his hands, held Qin Zongheng and Zhang Zhidong's hands on the left and right, turned around, and strode towards the door of Old Li's house with his hands held by their hands.

But when he was a few steps away from the door, he stopped and shouted to Li Dewen and others who were smiling: "Big brother, second brother, fourth brother!"

Seeing the three people standing steadily at the door of Old Li's house with a smile on their faces, Qin Zongheng and Zhang Zhidong felt their scalps tingling again and they burst into tears again in an instant.

"Brother Wenyuan, Brother Xinyi, Brother Tiandong!"

The three brothers Li Dewen then stepped forward and surrounded the two men, with countless hands tightly clasped together.

"After decades of separation, we old brothers finally get together! It's not easy! Let's go home!"

Li Dewen immediately put his arm around Qin Zongheng's back, being as affectionate as if they were real brothers, without any grudges at all.

Qin Zongheng sighed slightly, and tightly grasped his hand, saying helplessly and distressedly: "Brother Wenyuan, you all used aliases, right? I have been looking for you for decades! If you hadn't left, the medals on your collar would have been yours, and you would have been the ones climbing the city wall! It was so hard for me to find you!"

Seeing the benefactors he had been looking for for decades, Qin Zongheng finally asked the questions that had been in his heart for a long time.

Li Dequan smiled slightly and looked at his elder brother.

"Xiao Hai'er, our Li family does not covet these fame, wealth and honors. If the common people live well and escape from the sea of ​​suffering, our Li family's goal will be achieved! With this peaceful and prosperous era, it is rare for the Li family to live peacefully in a small mountain village! Pursuing those material things is not what our family wants!"

No one's words could be as shocking and sobering as those said by Li Dewen, the head of the Li family.

For a moment, not only Xia Jingfeng was stunned, but even Qin Zongheng and the Qin family members behind him, Zhang Zhidong, the elders in the mountains, and the members of the project team were deeply moved by the Li family's unshakable outlook on life.

"Thank you for your advice!" Qin Zongheng nodded deeply and clasped his fists towards Li Dewen as an elder.

"Xiao Haier, you are still very well-behaved!" Li Dewen patted his shoulder and laughed twice, "Then we will be even more disciplined! Dewu Dequan Decai, tomorrow on New Year's Eve, let our Li family hold a banquet for hundreds of families, invite Xiao Haier and his family, Dongwazi and those child soldiers to have a drink and wish you a happy new year!"

"Okay!" the three brothers agreed in unison.

The whole village suddenly exclaimed and shouted excitedly.

"Let's go home and have a seat!" Li Dequan then solemnly invited everyone to his home.

"..."

quack quack!

In the distance, Shen Yujing's face had turned extremely blue and his teeth were almost broken.

Be it the Qin family, Zhang Zhidong, or the troops brought by Xia Jingfeng, they all became the reason why Shen Yujing was extremely jealous of Li Xiangnan!

The closer Qin's Zhang Zhidong gets to Li Xiangnan's family, the more uncomfortable Shen Yujing feels!

There will be a banquet for hundreds of families tomorrow. If Shen Yujing still has the nerve to eat here, he will be a shameless idiot!

What's the matter? You, Li Xiangnan, have been in the spotlight, and that's not enough. You also want me, Shen Yujing, to flatter you and please you sincerely?

Then I, Shen Yujing, am really a fucking bitch!

"Brother Yujing!"

Hearing the call, Shen Yujing suddenly turned around, and when he saw that it was Lin Weiguo, he became even more furious and asked with a fierce face: "What are you doing?"

"Brother Yujing, I think our sampling data is basically out, and the research is nearing completion. Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year. If we can make it in time, we may be able to catch a train back to Yanjing if we rush to the county town today..."

"..." Shen Yujing narrowed his eyes and looked at him. At this moment, he really felt a sense of sympathy for this guy. He sneered and said, "Weiguo, you are right. Ask Professor Hong and Professor Shang if everything is ready. Even if there is still some finishing work, you can return to Yanjing to do it. Going home for the New Year is the most important thing!"

If it weren't for the Qin family and Zhang Zhidong and Xia Jingfeng's incident, Shen Yujing would definitely disgust the Li family until after the New Year!

But now, the plan could not change quickly enough, so he could only run away in shame.

Now when he stays in the village, all he sees are the smiling faces of the people in Lijia Village. This is the most unacceptable thing for him.

"Don't worry, Brother Yujing! I'll go ask right away!" Lin Weiguo was extremely attentive. He nodded and ran away happily.

He was even more angry than Shen Yujing and didn't want to stay in this village any longer!

Now, whenever I heard Li Xiangnan's name or saw the people related to him, a surge of anger would inexplicably rise up to my head.

The more brilliant Li Xiangnan was, the more he felt that he was outdone.

The jealousy in my heart is about to be deformed!

"Professor Hong, Professor Shang, now that the sample data has been analyzed, there is still some work that has not been completed yet, so let's go back to Yanjing to continue! Director Shen means that we have disturbed Lijia Village for too long, and we are really sorry! Now there is still time, let's pack up and go to the county, and we can still catch the last train back to Yanjing..."

"what?"

When they heard Lin Weiguo running over and saying he was leaving, the project team members who were standing together discussing Li Xiangnan's experiences were all stunned.

Even Professor Hong found it hard to accept: "No, Weiguo, why are you in such a hurry? Tomorrow is New Year's Eve anyway. If we rush on this road, we may not be able to return home. It's better to spend the New Year in Lijia Village. We have become close friends now. On the second day of the New Year, we can go to the county to buy tickets and leave..."

"Yes, Weiguo, our research project is one thing, and appreciating the local customs and culture is another! Didn't you hear what the Li family said just now? Tomorrow the Li family will hold a banquet for a hundred families. We have never eaten at this banquet. It is rare to encounter such a good custom..." Even Professor Shang is looking forward to tomorrow.

I left because I didn’t want to attend the banquet!

Lin Weiguo didn't agree with them and said indifferently: "Whoever wants to stay can stay. Just write a letter of voluntary withdrawal! The research results will no longer be signed by him. In addition, you have to pay for the travel expenses yourself! Chu Qiao, let's go, go back to the house and pack up!"

"Ah?" After hearing this, the twenty or so people were all confused and could only give in.

This is a research project, but the result has not been signed yet. If my employer knows about it, they will definitely give me trouble!

Moreover, travel expenses are a big expense, and you have to bear it yourself, which makes it even more not worth it!

Everyone could only follow Lin Weiguo back dejectedly and go to their respective homes to pack up their things.

But Lin Chuqiao was completely panicked.

It's not easy to come to Lijia Village, and I can celebrate the New Year with Li Xiangnan tomorrow!

Are you leaving the day before?

And Qin Ruobai is here too, and there are still many things she hasn’t seen yet!

Are they going to get engaged? Now that the Qin family has come to the Li family, what about their marriage? Is there any change?

Also, Lin Chuqiao and Li Xiangnan's grandmother, his mother Zhu Qiuju and the entire family had just established a solid relationship, and they were leaving so soon, which was really hard for her to accept.

But she also understood what Lin Weiguo said, that the fact that the research results were not signed was the most detrimental to one's future!

On one side is love, on the other side is career.

It’s a real dilemma.

As she went back to the house to pack her things, her tears hardly stopped.

"Chu Qiao, why are you leaving just like that?"

The first person who rushed over after hearing the news was not Li Xiangnan, but Qin Ruobai.

This surprised Lin Chuqiao.

"Ruobai, the project team said that the research is complete and we need to evacuate urgently to catch the train back to Beijing! If I stay here without permission, I won't get the research results, and I will have to pay for the travel expenses myself! I...I...I can't bear to leave!"

"I know, I know!" Qin Ruobai hugged her, patted her back gently, sighed slightly, and understood her feelings very well. After wiping her tears, he stood up and went out to pull Li Xiangnan in.

"Chu Qiao, let Xiangnan see you off!"

“???” Li Xiangnan’s eyes popped out again.
