Chapter 1111: The Watermelons Are Ripe

"Alright, let him gradually experience the hardships of life. There’s really no other way?Actually, there are many people like him, most are like this. Just treat it with a normal mindset."

"Xiao Wei, what if your future child turns out like this?"

"What to do? I’ve managed and taught him, but ultimately it’s his own decision."

Li Yunqiang felt that Wei Kaiyun was just brushing him off.

"Alright, I’m heading back."

Your own child? If you don’t need to take care of your own child, it’s a habit. Cultivate the habit of self-discipline from an early age, then there’s no need to worry.

When I got home, I saw the kids eating watermelon.

"How is it?" Jiang Xinyu asked with a smile.

"What can I do? Their character is already formed, it’s very difficult to manage."

Jiang Xinyu nodded, indeed, if a child can reflect on themselves, it’s fine, but after all, they’re still children.

Li Yungui first stopped by the county’s supply and marketing cooperative, taking over thirty roosters and fifty watermelons.

Then the father and son hurried to the city, otherwise it would be troublesome if people got off work.

When they got to the city, everything was left there.

"Old Li, are these eggs okay?"

"Yes, almost. I brought a hundred today, will bring more next time."

"Alright, these roosters can be sold out tomorrow in one day."

"When the supply of eggs increases, there won’t be so many roosters.

Have to wait until the twelfth lunar month, or it won’t catch up."

"Why does it sound so bleak?"

"No, it’s just the way it is. There have been too many roosters lately."

Seeing it was time to get off work, the father and son hurried home, leaving two watermelons for the family.

After leaving the watermelons, they didn’t stay for dinner, worrying about going back too late.

Just as they left, Li Yunqiao came back and, seeing the watermelons, knew they were from home.

In fact, Li Yunqiao had something to tell his second brother, but since they just left, there was nothing he could do, and he just found out in the past few days.

The workshop in the city has been built, presumably they’ll move soon. After all, Li Family Village is too remote, and the transportation cost out would be high.

Moreover, the next arranged work is all through connections. No one wants to work in the countryside, so moving will inevitably happen in a short time.

"How was today?" Li Yunqiao asked, holding Lu Fengzhen’s hand.

"Still the same, no changes. Don’t worry, it’s fine.

Moreover, the hospital is so close. Even if labor starts, I can walk there."

Seeing the happy expression on his young wife’s face, Li Yunqiao thought of Liang Caifeng.

Today she barged into his office, asking him to find a way to get her husband out.

What could he do? He had inquired about it, and her husband wasn’t innocent. Although the matter wasn’t serious, he’s being kept inside, but he’ll eventually be released, though he shouldn’t expect to work again.

He’s about to retire, losing his job would mean the state won’t provide for his retirement.

He thought Liang Caifeng’s urgency might be because of this. Remarrying someone, and if nothing happened, both would have labor insurance, their life would be beautiful.

But relying on one person’s labor insurance to support two people would be a bit challenging.

"Old Li, what’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing, just thinking about some things."

Lu Fengzhen never worried about these things, it’s matters outside a man’s realm, she didn’t understand, nor did she want to hear about it.

Hong Lin and his wife also came back from work. Dinner was sorghum rice water, with omelets for the little one, oily and particularly soft. Zhibin loved eating it.

"Aunt Lu, is the Red Army back?"

"Yes, your second uncle came over too, but left in a hurry fearing he’d return home late."

"We can eat watermelons later. The watermelons from Li Family Village are always sweet. Dad, this week the three of us will go back for a visit."

"Alright, set off early, put the bicycle on the bus, so you won’t have to walk back from the countryside."

"Okay, there’s no holiday. If possible, I’d like to stay at home for a few days."

"Hehe, if you want that, you must return during the major autumn harvest."

Hong Lin really hadn’t done farm work before. "Dad, is the autumn harvest very tiring?"

"Tiring, especially tiring. Back then, I was in charge of guarding the field at night, afraid someone would steal the grain, and I could fall asleep sitting."

Li Yungui and his son arrived home when it was already dark. Qu Xiaoli was worried, complaining why Li Yungui didn’t deliver the goods tomorrow? Why must it be in the afternoon?

Seeing the father and son return, she felt relieved.

After dinner, the couple lay on the kang. "Saw Xiao Wei take Shuzhi away in the afternoon."

"Yunqiang can’t handle it anymore, must want Xiao Wei to help manage it."

"When a father can’t handle something, how can he expect others to do it?"

"Old Fourth is also desperate. Previously, he said what they didn’t like to hear, said he could raise the child. Now he knows, right?"

"Our Old Fourth must also be kept in line. You don’t know, watching Shuzhi work from behind, I had the urge to hit him."

"Third doesn’t need to worry anymore. Indeed, Old Fourth needs watching. No need for him to be very capable, but can’t be too inadequate."

"Isn’t that true? But Xue He and Changhe supervise him every day, whether he wants to or not."

"Hong Ling is the same, but a bit better than Cheng Lin."

"Life’s getting better, but there’s worry about the children. Didn’t Manjiang say he’d return during the major autumn harvest?"

"Yes, he’s taken leave. Coming back for the big autumn harvest, he’ll stay for two months this time."

Li Yungui was thinking of Zheng Jixian, who said he’d bring his niece over, but hasn’t come yet?

"By the way, there’s nothing in the coming days. What if we visit Zheng Family Village tomorrow?"

"To see that girl?"

"Yes, to check it out. I don’t know what’s going on with Zheng Jixian, it’s been almost two months. Why hasn’t he come over?"

"Alright, let’s go together tomorrow." The eldest son is still single, and Qu Xiaoli is really worried.

Yet, they haven’t met someone suitable yet. Even if there is a good match, Manjiang is not at home, so no one wants to wait for him. That’s why there hasn’t been anyone suitable yet.

This is a good opportunity, with less than two months before he returns. They can first meet up, and when he comes back, they can meet properly.

The next morning, after breakfast, Li Xue was reminded, and they got two big watermelons from Wei Kaiyun’s house, and the couple headed to Zheng Family Village.

"Xue’er, what are Second Uncle and Second Aunt up to?" Guodong was quite puzzled. It wasn’t unusual for Second Uncle to go out, but it was rare for Second Aunt to go out.

"Brother Manjiang is coming back. I guess Second Uncle and Second Aunt are looking for a match for him."

"Elder Brother is in the army, and doesn’t come back often."

"Second Aunt is anxious. My brother, who is younger than Brother Manjiang, already has a son. I guess Second Aunt is envious."
