The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

"You can't pee on the bed. If you want to pee, you have to call daddy. You say, daddy, daddy, I want to pee, and then daddy will get up~!"

In the early morning, old man Li was teaching his daughter. The quilt had been lifted. Little Huihui, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, was looking at the wet "map". She had no idea that it was her masterpiece. When she saw her old father picked up the sweater, she immediately raised her hands obediently.

"Dad~!"

Li Feng had a helpless look on his face as he put the sweater over his head and then pulled the little guy's hands out. The little guy's hair rubbed against the wool, making a crackling sound of static electricity.

When it was time to put on the woolen trousers, her two chubby legs were still kicking. Then came the socks, cotton coat and trousers. After putting on the whole set of clothes, Li Hui almost turned into a little ball.

"Put on your hat, and go, go find grandma~!"

As soon as the door was opened, he put the woolen hat on the chair over Li Hui's forehead, and that was it.

He also had to tidy up the sheets, the cotton mattress underneath, and the changed underpants, all of which had to be done by this old father.

"You didn't play with fire when you were a kid~?" (Playing with fire and wetting the kang)

"She peed again. You shouldn't have fed her so much water at night~!"

Liu Yin, the old mother, opened the door curtain and walked in. She saw her son pulling the bed sheet while mumbling something. She had no idea what was going on.

As a grandmother, can I blame my ignorant granddaughter? I must blame my ignorant son~!

"She's thirsty. Look, she drank everything in my cup~!"

"Then you should get up earlier and help her pee. You're already a father, but you don't know this. How can a child this young hold her pee? Didn't you and Nan Nan go through the same thing when you were little~!"

Life skill +1, Li Feng couldn't argue anymore, so he raised his hands in surrender. It was nonsense to talk about what happened in the past. If he continued to talk about it, he, the deputy factory director, still had to have some shame.

"Okay, okay, you go and watch and don't let her touch the stove. I'll clean it up~!"

"She's just playing with dough. Your uncle and Lei Zi are going home today. I've left the things at the door. You can take them there later~!"

After rolling up the bed sheets and mattress, taking Huihui's wet pants, the old mother went back in a hurry, leaving Li Feng nodding his head alone.

Yes, the winter vegetable storage was completed last month, and the uncle and nephew took advantage of the busy New Year to make the last bit of money in front of the department store, and it’s time to go home.

Li Feng was abroad last year and didn’t have time to send it, but it’s time to make up for it today.

“Time flies by so fast~!”

Another year is about to turn. Li Feng rummaged through the drawer and took out a work book with some national food coupons that he had saved up. Li Feng has no shortage of this stuff.

There are also some soap tickets, match tickets and other miscellaneous tickets. It would be a waste to put them in the notebook. I'd better take them back. At least they can be used in the countryside.

Li Feng hasn't paid attention to pig matters for a long time, so he has to ask about it. He has to go to the department store today to buy some firecrackers, melon seeds, peanuts, etc. himself.

The cloth bag at the door was full of things.

The little guy can eat now, but he doesn’t want to drink milk powder anymore. When my father-in-law comes to visit him, I still bring him one or half a bag of milk powder, which I tie up and put in the milk powder.

There were also some pickled fresh meat and sausages, not much, only about two or three pounds. I guess they were all saved by the old mother who was alone at home after Li Nan left. She didn't take the fragile canned fruits, but there were two tin cans of meat.

During the Chinese New Year, the Li family no longer had to stumble through life, but my uncle and cousin were used to saving money on food and drink. They brought back a few pounds of meat and two cans of food to nourish my grandparents.

When Li Feng came with his things, his uncle and cousin had almost finished packing. Each of them had a suitcase. Although it was a bit worn out and no one knew where they picked it up from, it looked better than when they first came.

"Hey, Xiaofeng, didn't I tell her not to take it? Don't take it. We have some too~!"

The uncle and nephew had a good meal for their last meal in Beijing. Each of them had a big bowl of noodles with an egg on top. They looked embarrassed when they saw their eldest nephew coming in with a bag of things.

"It's not for you, it's for my grandparents and a few other kids. It doesn't matter if you have to suffer, but it's the end of the year, and we can't let them suffer too~!"

"As the deputy factory director, I can't bring home anything that my family can't afford. I have a cafeteria at school, and my mother doesn't need that much as she has a child. This is a token of my filial piety to the elderly."

The two human-like mules were enjoying the New Year's treatment in advance. The uncle and nephew were reluctant to eat the eggs, so they would knock a few into the trough at the end of the year, including the eggshells and egg liquid. They would swish their tails while eating. When Li Feng touched their heads, they didn't even look up.

"You can't take it, Xiaofeng. A cadre should act like a cadre. Whatever the country gives you, that's what you deserve. If you give it to your grandparents, they will dare to eat and use it. Our family doesn't take crooked ways~!"

"Just like me and Lei Zi, sometimes we feel tired, but we feel at ease~!"

"Although I am your uncle, my education level is not as good as yours. Your grandpa taught us since we were young to be down-to-earth people. The same applies to leading cadres. No matter in the past or in the future, don't do these things. A person with a clear conscience is not afraid of his shadow being crooked, and a person with a straight foot is not afraid of his shoes being crooked~!"

At this point, Liu Qiang had to take the bag back no matter what was in it. If he didn't, his nephew would really think that he despised the valuable things and went astray, and he would regret it forever.

"Yes, come here, Brother Leizi, these are some tickets. I picked up some that can be used in places. It's hard for my sister-in-law to take care of the baby alone at home. When you take her back to her parents' home, you can give her some~!" Li Feng said those words just to shut them up. Since his uncle accepted the package, Li Feng had to accept the tickets as well, even if he was a little hesitant.

"Take it. Don't look at me. You are different from me. You just got married and you're coming out. You still have to take care of the bride's family. If you go back to a big city, you still have to have a grand ceremony, otherwise people around you will gossip~!"

Seeing Liu Lei looking at him, Liu Qiang waved his hand.

As a person who has been through this, he understands the ways of the world. Tickets are only issued to people with urban household registration, and when the son-in-law returns, he has to bring honor to his father-in-law's family.

These things are not that expensive and can be easily afforded in rural areas. For an elderly couple, he can just bring money back to please his wife. For those who have just been married for a short time, the situation is a little special.

"I asked a carpenter to make this for Huihui. She doesn't need to be held when she eats. At her age, she needs to learn how to eat!"

After eating the noodles in two or three mouthfuls, he tilted his head back to drink the soup, wiped his mouth, and took out a tall stool with a baffle from the house. It was very delicate and could be lifted to the back.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll take it back. This thing will come in handy, so she won't have to eat my bowl~!"

"Hahaha~!"

The three of them laughed. Life became better and better every year. The rotten corn situation at home was no longer a thing of the past two or three years. The whole family began to prosper and became more and more hopeful. There was a hint of carefreeness in the smiles of the uncle and nephew.

Going home is a happy thing in itself. You go back with pockets full. Even if you can't bring honor to your family, at least you can stand up and speak.

"A letter, a letter from Li Nan~!"

When Li Feng had helped his uncle and his family pack their luggage and had not yet walked out of the door of the back room, his mother Liu Yin came trotting over with Li Hui in one hand and an envelope in the other.

"It feels like a photo to me. I guess you two haven't left yet, let's take a look together~!"

"It should be a photo. At this time, it is probably too late to connect~!"

The two people who were going to the train station were not afraid of wasting this little time. After Li Feng opened the envelope, it really was a photo.

The black and white half-length portrait made the person look heroic. When Li Nan smiled, the little canine teeth at the corners of his mouth were captured. Li Feng was very pleased as he stroked the jagged edges of the photo.

"Hey, my niece looks different in her military uniform~!"

"Oh, look at this kid, he even remembered to send photos back. Why didn't you have this idea in the first place~!"

After putting Li Hui down, Liu Yin was also very excited. She looked at the photos carefully over and over again, and by the way, glared at Li Feng.

"Mom, the army is different from the army. She was in the art troupe, which was in the city. I didn't have the conditions at that time~!"

Li Feng was given a cold stare for no reason. He was really taking the blame. Didn't he want to remember it? He was still selling houses at that time, and there were really no conditions for it near the company.

"Very good, a big change. Look, his eyes are much more resolute, proving that he has indeed been trained in the army~!"

Liu Lei also took the photo and looked at it. His words made Liu Yin very happy. She was reluctant to see her second son go to the army, but seeing the change in him now, she felt relieved.

"I just have to make her suffer, day after day, and she never makes me worry~!"

Liu Yin, with a smile on her face, didn't forget to make some harsh remarks at this time. Little Huihui also jumped up, grabbed her father's pants, tilted her little head back, and wanted to see her aunt's photo.

Li Feng wiped the noodles off her hands before giving it to the little one. As a result, while guarding her hands, he failed to guard her mouth and kissed the aunt in the photo, which was both hilarious and embarrassing.

"Okay, we have to go, sister, when the time comes, two mules~!"

"Don't worry, go ahead. This year, Ma Hua will do it. Last time you helped him move furniture, you confiscated his money, and he's been feeling bad about it ever since!"

There was a new family in the courtyard. Ma Hua was still conscientious, so Liu Yin let him go and didn't have to worry about it during the New Year. He also reminded them to give the child water and food, and just needed to keep an eye on him for the first two times.

"Okay, see you next year, no need to send me off~!"

"Huihui, see you next year. I'll make you a shuttlecock when I get home~!"

"See you next year, say hello to mom and dad for me~!"

The uncle and nephew, carrying large and small bags, gradually disappeared into the alley.

In the main house of the Li family, Li Nan looked at the open door, the empty house, and the dumplings boiling in the pot, and asked his soul-searching question.

"Hey, where's my mom, my brother, and my niece?" (End of this chapter)
