Chapter 885: Year 4

February 4th, the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the beginning of spring.

It was not until this day that Qin Yuhan returned to Jiangbei.

The impact of weather is one aspect, and so is business.

In winter, the dessert house's business has slowed down a lot. In addition, the weather in the capital is not good recently, and the business is even more bleak.

Seeing that the business was bleak, Qin Yuhan felt worried about leaving for a while.

It wasn't until the new year was approaching that he returned to Jiangbei under Yang Yun's urging.

...

After resting at home for a day, on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Qin Yuhan visited Li Dong's parents.

Shen Qian just came to the door a few days ago, and Qin Yuhan came to the door a few days later.

Li Chengyuan and his wife were also as big as cows at this time, and they even felt a little guilty.

Qin Yuhan stayed for lunch, because the Chinese New Year was approaching and everyone was busy, so Qin Yuhan left in the afternoon.

Li Dong didn't return to the Provincial Party Committee compound after sending Qin Yuhan off, but went straight back to Wanyuan.

As soon as he entered the door, Cao Fang asked scoldingly, "Dongzi, what are you thinking?"

While changing his shoes, Li Dong said in a perfunctory way: "Mom, don't ask me about this, I'll tell you later when I've settled it."

Cao Fang glared at him, didn't continue the topic, and said instead: "By the way, the Chinese New Year is tomorrow, and Xiaolan and the others are coming over.

Don't you have two babies over there, let's bring them back together for the New Year.

You can't let the two children celebrate the New Year by themselves. You are also guilty of adopting two children without getting married.

You don't even say hello to me or your dad about this, so I don't bother to talk about you. "

The matter of Tian Xiaoyu and Xiaoshitou could not be hidden for a long time, and Cao Fang and Li Chengyuan knew about it before.

But after all, she wasn't her own granddaughter, and the couple didn't ask too much before.

But seeing the Chinese New Year, thinking of the two children spending the New Year alone there, Cao Fang was a woman after all, so she was a little soft-hearted, so she couldn't help but mention it.

Li Dong nodded and said, "I'll pick it up in the afternoon. In fact, it's okay to spend the New Year over there, as long as there is a nanny."

It's not that Li Dong is cold-blooded. In fact, if his mother doesn't say anything, he really doesn't plan to bring his two children over for the New Year.

Tian Xiaoyu is not young, but also sensible.

In fact, bringing them back at this time will only make the two children restrained and embarrassed. As for the warmth and family affection, it is a bit exaggerated.

Li Dong knew without asking, if Tian Xiaoyu had to choose, she would rather celebrate the New Year with Xiao Shitou in the provincial party committee compound.

At least there, their two children are the masters, so they don't feel like outsiders.

And here, even if Cao Fang greeted them, they shouldn't feel anything other than restraint.

While the mother and son were talking, Li Dong's cell phone rang.

After answering the phone, Li Dong smiled and said, "Are you home?"

"Well, just arrived."

"Are Uncle Du and Auntie here?"

Shen Qian jokingly said: "My father is not at home, but my mother is, do you want to chat?"

"Ahem, well, let's forget about it." Li Dong looked awkward, and he had no common language with Shen Xuehua at all.

Old Du could still chat a few words, but Shen Xuehua didn't care.

And even if he wanted to talk, Shen Xuehua wouldn't talk to him.

The two talked a few more words, Li Dong hung up the phone, Cao Fang couldn't help but said, "Shen Qian?"

"Um."

"You!"

Cao Fang had a helpless expression on her face, as soon as she saw off the girl from the Qin family, she chatted with the girl from the Shen family, what happened.

Glancing at her son again, Cao Fang suddenly felt that something was not pleasing to the eye, and said angrily: "What shoes do you want to change? Didn't you say to pick up the child, it's almost time to go now!"

"ah?"

Li Dong looked at the shoes he had just taken off, scratched his head and said, "Take a break..."

"Why don't you rest, hurry up, there are a lot of things waiting for you when you come back." Cao Fang continued to chase people away.

Li Dong was crying, is this still his real mother?

Then he turned his head to look at Li Chengyuan who was not far away, but Li Chengyuan didn't look at him at all, and continued to be busy with his own affairs.

Seeing the situation, Li Dong could only shake his head and smile wryly, and continued to change his shoes.

After he changed his shoes and went out, Li Chengyuan raised his head and asked, "Say,

Do you want to..."

Cao Fang glanced at him and said, "What do you want?"

Li Chengyuan looked at her face, lowered his head and said, "It's nothing."

"snort!"

Cao Fang snorted, but she actually knew what Old Li wanted to say.

Didn't she just want Li Nanming's family to come over? Cao Fang just pretended not to understand.

It stands to reason that Li Lan's mother and daughter are actually one level behind, and Li Nanming is the real relative.

However, the two sides had accumulated grievances for many years, and Cao Fang didn't like to see their family very much.

For the Chinese New Year, Cao Fang didn't want to find trouble for herself.

But after thinking about it, Cao Fang said again: "It's okay for that girl Li Qing to come over to celebrate the New Year, but she can't come here alone, Li Nanming won't allow him to come anyway!"

Li Chengyuan muttered something, although Cao Fang didn't hear it clearly, she roughly guessed the meaning, and said angrily: "I won't let him come, your nephew is not a good guy!

Don't think I don't know, I know very well.

I heard that he was in Qingyang, doing some immoral things all day long under the name of Dongzi.

I'm too lazy to care about this, you don't know if you are Dongzi, it's because Dongzi didn't say anything because you feel sorry for that nephew. "

Li Chengyuan said helplessly: "Don't listen to the wind and the rain, I know what he did, and it's not something immoral. He only earns some living expenses for the business he sells.

Eldest brother is gone, I can't just watch their mothers starve to death, can I?

I know that Nanming is not promising, but he has changed in the past two years. The last time Dongzi went to Qingyang, he also said hello. He dare not do bad things.

It's not easy, it's still a family, what grudge do you have with a child. "

Cao Fang murmured: "Returning the child, you're thirty, and you're ashamed to say it. Forget it, anyway, I'm too lazy to care about it. You tell Dongzi yourself, and I won't care if Dongzi agrees."

Li Chengyuan knew there was nothing going on as soon as he heard it, so he didn't say anything more.

He was just two brothers. Now that the eldest brother is gone, Li Nanming and the others are left. If Li Chengyuan is unable to take care of them, that's fine.

But now his son has a big business, and his old couple are also doing well.

There are only a few relatives in the Li family, and Li Chengyuan actually wants to take them over and get together together.

It's a pity that the son doesn't want to see that eldest nephew, and neither does the wife.

Compared with the wife and son, the nephew should be let go first.

...

In the evening, Li Dong took Tian Xiaoyu and Xiao Shitou home.

Little Shitou is fine, the little girl doesn't know much, and she giggles happily when she sees people, which actually wins the love of the Li family's old couple.

Tian Xiaoyu was a little older, and seemed a little reluctant to let go.

Although the old couple also had smiles on their faces and warm hospitality, they gained a little more life after all.

Li Dong is not demanding, and his parents have nothing to do with the two girls.

His adoption is his own business, not that he has to be approved by his parents and treated as his own granddaughter.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, Chen Jing brought Li Lan to the door of the house.

When they came, Li Dong just woke up.

Last night, he fought on two fronts, chatting with Qin Yuhan and Shen Qian on PP at the same time, and didn't go to bed until after one o'clock.

After one night, Li Dong's fingers were almost swollen.

At this time, Li Dong regretted it very much. Although smart phones have not yet developed to the point where they can support WeChat, it is still possible to develop a voice system.

If I had known earlier, PP should have developed it, so I wouldn’t need to type it myself.

Keeping this matter in mind, Li Dong is going to go back to the company to talk about it.

Just as Chen Jing and her daughter were greeted here, the doorbell rang again.

Li Dong went up to open the door, and when he opened the door, he was stunned and asked, "Who are you?"

It was none other than Cao Feng and his wife, as well as Cao Yu.

It's not that they can't come, the key is that it was agreed before that Cao Feng and his wife will go to Lin Meng's house to celebrate the New Year this year.

Lin Meng's house is not far from Pingchuan, and it takes only five or six hours by car, not as far as that in Guizhou Province.

In addition, the two just got married this year. When the wedding was held before, there were not many people from the Lin family, and many relatives of the Lin family had never seen Cao Feng.

At this time, I went to my husband's house to celebrate the New Year, and it made sense.

Unexpectedly, it was New Year's Eve, and the two of them hadn't left yet.

When Li Dong asked, Cao Feng didn't speak with a silly smile, but Lin Meng said with a smile: "I went back, I just came back today. Besides, there are too many relatives in my house, and there is no place to live, so it's too noisy.

It's quieter here in Pingchuan, so we'll be back. "

Li Dong was clear in his heart and didn't mind, it would be better if there were more people, and when she finished speaking, she smiled and said: "Then come in quickly, sister-in-law, cousins, cousins, all come in."

He greeted them to enter the house, Cao Feng, Cao Yu and the others also knew Chen Jing, and they exchanged pleasantries for a while.

When he saw Xiao Shitou and Tian Xiaoyu, Cao Feng teased the two girls with a smile.

He and these two girls knew each other. At the beginning, Li Dong put them at the Lanshan Villa, and Cao Feng and Wang Jie also lived there, and they got along for several months.

He knew each other, but Lin Meng and Cao Yu didn't know each other.

And they didn't know that Xiao Shitou and the others came to celebrate the New Year this year, and they both felt a little embarrassed for a while.

They knew that Li Lan came here to celebrate the New Year.

When they first entered the door, the two also gave red envelopes.

But suddenly there were two more girls, and they were not prepared before, which made Lin Meng and Cao Yu feel a little embarrassed.

Cao Yu was fine, she didn't have a lot of heart, she didn't prepare a red envelope, and it was the same to give money directly. She took 1,000 yuan from her pocket, and a girl gave 500 yuan.

Tian Xiaoyu and Xiao Shitou had been greeted by Li Dong before, and the red envelopes from the elders had to be accepted.

Besides, the two girls didn't really have any idea about money, and they put it in their pockets with a smile after calling out to their cousin a few times.

While the two children were talking to Cao Yu, Lin Meng teased Cao Feng, and the two got up and walked towards the room.

After entering the room, Lin Meng hurriedly said, "Have you brought any money with you?"

Cao Feng scratched his head and said, "Didn't you bring it..."

"Not enough, I just brought 5,000 yuan, and I didn't expect these two girls to come."

Although Cao Feng is simple and honest, he is not really stupid, and he said softly when he heard it: "Don't be like this, children can make a red envelope and have fun. It is enough for each person to give a few hundred yuan. Do you think Dongzi still cares about this little money? "

Lin Meng rolled his eyes at him and said: "It's not that he doesn't care, these two girls were adopted by him, almost like daughters.

We can't afford a few hundred dollars. "

Cao Feng felt a little helpless, his wife was actually good at everything, and she was also smart and capable.

But because of this, I think more.

In fact, according to Cao Feng, there is no need to come here for the Chinese New Year this year. He and Lin Meng just got married, and it would be best to live with the Lin family for ten days and a half months.

But his wife wanted to go back to Pingchuan for the new year, so Cao Feng couldn't say anything.

Now because of the red envelope, my wife started to worry again, and Cao Feng also started to worry.

He knew more about Li Dong than Lin Meng.

It's not that you are flattering, Li Dong treats you differently, Li Dong actually doesn't care too much about these side details.

Although he wanted to persuade a few words, Cao Feng didn't know what to say, so he finally said in a muffled voice: "Give 1,000 to each person, it's almost enough. After all, Ayu only gave 500, which is too much. You let Ah What do you think Yu?"

When Lin Meng heard it, he was shocked and said: "I really didn't expect this, it's alright, you, Fengzi, you're enlightened!"

Cao Feng smiled wryly, silly daughter-in-law!

It looks smart, but it is actually stupid.

I'm enlightened, if I'm really that stupid, can Dongzi treat us so well?

It's giving away the house again, and going to work in a distant place. Every time there is something private, Dongzi doesn't look for anyone, just him and Wang Jie. Can a fool be trusted so much?

Too lazy to explain to his wife, Cao Feng laughed a few times and stopped talking.

Lin Meng didn't think much about it, and left the room after wrapping the red envelope.

...

When Xiao Shitou and Tian Xiaoyu stuffed the red envelope to Li Dong, Li Dong took a look and didn't say much.

When I walked to the balcony, my dad was smoking a cigarette secretly.

Seeing that it was Li Dong, Li Chengyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought it was your mother, I'll go out later, just smoke one."

Li Dong said with a smile: "I'm not here to supervise the work, but it's better to smoke less."

"You know, I have almost quit now, and I can't finish a pack of cigarettes a week."

Li Dong laughed again, and said after a while, "Dad, I heard that Li Qing bought a house by himself?"

"ah?"

Li Chengyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Really?"

Li Dong was a little amused, opened the window a little wider, and said with a breath: "What are you hiding from me, and I didn't say anything.

Li Qing and Li Nanming are doing well, in fact, I would also like to see it.

After all, there are not many relatives in our Li family. I understand that you feel sorry for them.

As long as they don't do anything illegal or disciplined, let them go.

I used to hate their family, but now I also see it, people, it's all like this. "

Li Chengyuan was a little embarrassed, but didn't say anything.

When Li Qing bought a house, he did make up a lot, and even Cao Fang didn't know about it.

Now that his son said it out loud, Li Chengyuan didn't know what to say.

Li Dong said again: "I'm afraid that you'll be out of touch. After all, I take care of my cousin a lot. But it can't be my fault. If Li Nanming could get on the stage, I wouldn't treat him like this.

But he can't get on the stage, and coming here will only make me mess up.

You take care of him, but don't rely too much on him, or you get used to it, and he might do something wrong in the future.

On Li Qing's side, I don't have any objections, and on Xiaolan's side, it's up to you.

If you don't have enough money, just tell me and I'll call you, don't touch your small coffers, it's not easy to save some private money. "

Li Chengyuan glared at him, and said with a hum: "Who has hidden the private money, it's nothing."

Li Dong couldn't help laughing, seeing that his father seemed to be in a much happier mood, he was slightly relieved.

In fact, seeing Cao Feng and Cao Yu coming to celebrate the New Year, my father probably felt a little disappointed.

After all, his nephew and niece wanted to come to celebrate the New Year, but Cao Fang refused to agree. As a result, when her natal nephew and niece came, Cao Fang burst into laughter.

Living at home, it's normal to be hopeful.

Li Dong was afraid that his father would hold his breath and it would be bad for his health.

In the previous life, that is, this year, my parents were seriously ill. Before the end of 2008, the old couple left one after another.

Although there is nothing serious about frequent physical examinations in this life, Li Dong is still a little worried.

For the sake of his father's health, Li Dong didn't bother to care about some trivial matters.

As he himself said, he really hated Li Nanming and the others before.

But everything has changed in this life, and Li Nanming and the others did not cause too much harm to his family.

Li Dong doesn't care about blood relationship, and he doesn't like Li Nanming, but there's no need to make Dad worry.

He wants to take care of Li Nanming and the others, so follow him.

Isn't it just money? It's not a problem to spend a little money to make Dad happy.

As for whether Li Nanming will make progress or have other thoughts, Li Dong really doesn't care.

He didn't even pay attention to people like Chen Rui, so he was afraid of a Li Nanming with insufficient IQ?

As the father and son communicated, bursts of firecrackers sounded outside the window, and it was New Year's Eve.

This is Li Dong's fourth New Year's Eve after his rebirth.
