Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1224 Going Home
When Han Li was staring at his mother's back in a daze, his mother turned around after hearing the sound of the suitcase rolling on the stone slabs.

"son.."

"Mom, I'm back."

Han's mother: "I'm glad you're back. I'm glad you're back. Come here quickly to show me if you've lost weight."

Upon hearing this, Han Li put down his suitcase, trotted over and said.

"It's impossible for me to be thin. As your son, I will eat anything except braised pork. But I am really greedy, especially for braised pork. I am drooling just thinking about it now.

Mom, you don't know that in England, potatoes are either steamed or boiled, or fried into chips. The dishes made by the chefs in their big hotels would make even a dog shake his head if he ate them here."

Mother Han: "Look at how pitiful my son is. I'll go buy some meat for you to cook. Come over and see Xiaoliang first."

Han Li bent down with a guilty conscience, reached out and picked up his little son for the first time, who had not been with him since birth.

Xiaoliang was born on December 29th of last year. Today is May 19th of the Gregorian calendar. He is almost six months old. He is chubby and very cute.

A six-month-old baby was already able to distinguish between strangers and his own family. Han Li had just held the baby for a while when the little guy started howling at the top of his lungs.

Han Li started to rock the baby according to his previous experience of holding Da Ming and Xiao Ming, but the little guy's crying did not stop even after he rocked him several times.

Mother Han couldn't bear to hear her grandson crying, so she reached out to take the baby and patted him twice, then said after Xiaoliang stopped crying.

"This child has never seen you since he was born. Now that he recognizes you, it's normal for him to cry when you hold him in your arms. However, children don't have good memories. Just stay with him until tomorrow and he'll be fine."

Han Li knew this was the truth. When Da Ming and Xiao Ming went back to their grandmother's house to live for more than ten days, they were estranged from him for a long time after they came back. Not to mention that Xiao Liang had never seen him since he was a child. The fact that he cried when being hugged by a stranger showed that the child was smart.

Only when Xiaoliang stopped crying did Han's mother react and put him back into the stroller while speaking.

"I'm so happy to see you back. Let's go home quickly. You take a shower. I'll go make some phone calls and buy groceries."

Next, Han's mother pushed the stroller with one hand and helped Han Li pull a suitcase with the other hand. The mother and son talked as they walked towards their home, which was more than ten meters away.

Before he even entered the door, he heard the whining sounds of Yamamoto and Inoue inside. As soon as the door was opened, they pounced on Han Li, surrounded him, wagging their tails and whining.

Han Li freed up one hand, rubbed the dogs' heads, then closed the door and followed his mother into the yard.

After not coming back for a year, Han Li felt that the jujube trees and osmanthus trees in the yard had grown a lot bigger, and the roses in the flowerbed had become more lush.

The carp in the fish tank next to the faucet has been replaced with goldfish, and everything is going in the right direction.

Han Li was looking around in the yard when Han's mother pushed Xiao Liang under the osmanthus tree and said.

"Son, stop looking and go take a shower. By the way, what else do you want to eat? I'll call your eldest sister and ask her to buy it for you when she comes over."

Han Li: "Pork, I want fatter pork, and some pig head and offal. I'm craving this right now."

(Sister Han attended a technical secondary school and graduated this spring with excellent grades and the title of outstanding student. She currently works in the office of the Dongcheng Transportation Management Bureau.

Sister Han also knows that her current job is run by her brother, because she was called in for talks by the school twice, once when she returned to the bus company as a dispatcher, and once when she was working at the Transportation Bureau now.
After Han Li told his mother his request, he took his clothes and went to the bathroom in the west wing to take a shower. Han's mother picked up the phone and made a call.

When Sister Han heard the news that her brother had returned, she called Dai Jingan with a look of surprise. After hanging up the phone again, she asked for leave and went to the street to buy things.

The next one was Qi Xiaomei. She hung up the phone and immediately found her master to ask for leave and rushed back.

As for the Yun sisters, He Mi, and Hou Yuhua, they are attending classes at Yan University, Han's second sister and Han's third sister are both attending their respective schools, and Wang Chunhua is in Laohu Hutong with Da and Xiao Ming, so it is a bit inconvenient to contact them.

Why didn’t Xiaoliang go with them? The main reason was that Da and Xiaoming were already one and a half years old, and they were already at an age that was difficult to take care of. As long as they opened their eyes, they would never have a peaceful time.

Wang Chunhua's ability to take care of the two brothers Da Ming and Xiao Ming alone has almost reached her limit. If Xiao Liang is added to the list, she will not be able to take care of them at all.

At first, we planned to find someone to take care of the children. Firstly, there was no suitable candidate. Secondly, if we added two more people to Laohu Hutong, there would be eight people in total, and it would be a bit cramped to live together.

In addition, Han's mother felt sorry for He Mi because she had no family and no one to rely on, and there were other reasons that she had to consider, so she kept Xiao Liang by her side and took care of him personally.

He also got a monthly ticket for He Mi, allowing her to go home after school every afternoon to feed her child and then rush to school early the next morning.

Han Li took a quick shower. He came out of the bathroom shirtless and wearing big pants. He touched the pool table and piano there, and felt unusually comfortable looking at the familiar room.

Although Han Li took a quick shower, he lingered in the west wing for a long time before coming out.

At this time, Han's mother had moved the electric fan to the osmanthus tree in the yard. She not only made tea for her son, but also put the watermelon under the faucet and rinsed it with water. After Han Li came out, he sat directly in front of the table, took a sip from the teacup, and immediately complimented his mother.

Although these words are relatively old, and Han Li has said some of them several times, the effect is very good, and just a few words made Han's mother laugh.

The mother and son were teasing Xiao Liang while chatting about family matters. After a while, Sister Han's voice was heard from outside the door. She started calling before she even entered the room.

"Mom, mom, is my little brother really back?"

"Sister, I'm back."

Sister Han put the bicycle on the ground without even caring about the flesh on it. She first pulled Han Li to look around and said the same words as Han's mother.

“You’ve lost weight.”

Han Li.

Before the brother and sister had even chatted for a while, Qi Zhaodi had already rushed back with a lot of food.

"Brother Han"

Although Qi Zhaodi did not hang around Han Li like Sister Han, her posture was similar.

Han Li now had a headache whenever he heard the word "thin". He did not give Qi Zhaodi a chance to say that she had lost weight. After a few words, he pulled her to sit down and continued the previous topic.

However, most of the time they were listening to Han Li complaining about the situation in England, including how bad the food was, how fishy the pork was, etc. He also talked about how much he missed the meals at home.

Of course, there are also the lives of the unemployed. I have said almost everything that can be said, and I cannot mention a single word about anything that is not appropriate to say.

Han Li's words opened their eyes, because in the past two years, some foreign films have been introduced into China, and everyone said that these are completely different from the movies. They didn't expect that foreigners would only pick the good ones to shoot.

Domestic movies currently focus mainly on publicity, while foreign movies focus mainly on box office and making money. The nature of the two is different, so there is really nothing much to discuss about this kind of thing.

Han Li also learned from his mother and others that after the higher authorities approved people with formal household registration to engage in individual labor in services and handicrafts in the local area, the scope of individual business was expanded again last year.

Therefore, in the second half of last year, the first individual restaurant appeared in Sijiu City. Many people saw that the restaurant was doing well, and in the past six months, new restaurants and small eateries have popped up one after another in Sijiu City.

Because of their good service attitude, many people like to go to self-employed businesses when they invite people to dinner.

Like restaurants, there are also some small shops that sell daily household items such as needles and thread, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, melon seeds, and sugar balls.

Most convenience stores have telephones, but they are only for domestic long-distance calls. International long-distance calls still require going to the post office. There is one such convenience store at the south entrance of Mianhua Hutong.

Such a convenience store is close to home and the residents are old neighbors who talk to you in a pleasant way. Therefore, as long as the convenience store has something, no one will go to the supply and marketing cooperatives or state-owned stores to buy it.

However, there are not many residents in Houhaizi, and no one has opened a convenience store here yet.

However, because of what happened over the past 20 years, many people do not agree when talking about these self-employed people, thinking that only people with no skills would do this, and who wouldn't go to work if they have the skills?

Some people even secretly said that even though these self-employed people can support their families now, if things are the same as in previous years, it will affect their family members and future generations. At that time...

In Han Ma's words, no one knows what will happen in the future. As long as the Southern Special Zone is fine, these self-employed individuals will be fine too. At least the emergence of these self-employed individuals has reduced a lot of pressure on their street offices.

However, there are still many unemployed young people and those returning to the city who are not looking for proper jobs.

The brave ones among them started to sneak into houses, pick locks and act like "Buddhas", while the timid ones started to steal things.

Many were arrested and many were sent to the suburbs to dig sand, but not many of them repented and turned over a new leaf after being released.

Those people who refuse to change despite repeated warnings are almost hated to death by the street offices and police stations.

In order to prevent these people from committing crimes again and becoming a potential threat to the performance of the unit or individuals.

The street office has to send people to accompany them to study every night, and their lips are almost worn out from all the talking.

The police station has to send people to visit these people's homes from time to time, and their legs have become thinner.

Everyone kept chatting until the time was almost up. Han's mother took Han elder sister and Qi younger sister to the kitchen to prepare dinner, while Han Li stayed in the yard to watch over Xiao Liang.

After this afternoon's contact, Han Li no longer cries when he hugs Xiao Liang.

Han Li held his son and gently pinched his cheeks, then laughed out loud as he watched the little guy wave his arms and spit out bubbles.
