Chapter 134 Let Brother 2 come to help me for a few days
Ever since he learned about those things, Zhang Lishan's eyes were filled with love and concern every time he looked at Li Mingxia.
Each of those eggs was clean. Twenty of them was a considerable amount of money for people in the countryside. It must have taken Zhang's mother a long time to save it. It was a token of love from the elders, and Li Mingxia would certainly not let him down.
"Thank you, uncle. I've been thinking about eating eggs every day these days. My family didn't raise chickens this year. Now I can eat as much as I want!" Li Mingxia picked up an egg, looked at it, and said with a smile: "I'll make a stew tonight!"
Zhang Lishan naturally knew that Li Mingxia's family didn't need a few eggs, but he must have felt very happy to hear his eldest niece say this.
"Let alone anything else, what I've been thinking about most when I came here this time is my eldest niece's cooking skills. I'll never forget the meal she gave me." Zhang Lishan smacked his lips immediately when he heard Li Mingxia say that she would cook in the evening.
This is the truth. Zhang Lishan was drooling all the way here.
"Brother, what do you want to eat? It's almost time to eat." Li Sanlang said.
Zhang Lishan thought for a long time and said, "It's all right. My eldest niece likes everything she cooks."
In the evening, Li Mingxia stewed a fish for Zhang Lishan and made a big bowl of braised pork. While eating, Li Sanlang mentioned something.
"This is what I'm thinking. I know what my eldest brother is like, so I definitely can't mention him. But my second brother is a good guy, and both his work and his character are acceptable. Otherwise, why don't we let my second brother come and work for a few days? How about that?"
Although no one wanted to have anything to do with the people in the old house, Zhang Lishan had already sat down to eat, so Zhang was embarrassed to say anything against it. Li Zhengpin now did whatever Li Mingxia said, so for a moment everyone's eyes fell on Li Mingxia, waiting to see what she would say.
Li Mingxia pondered for a moment and did not answer immediately.
Li Sanlang's eyes lit up, "Your grandfather has always hoped that our family would be well, but there are some people who are hard to get along with and are not the same kind of people. There is nothing we can do about it. But no matter what, your second uncle has done nothing wrong to us, right?"
This sentence hit the nail on the head. Not only did Li Erlang do nothing wrong to them, he was actually very nice to their family.
When they just separated from the family, Li Erlang secretly sent food to their home, and Li Mingxia always remembered this incident.
"Then let second uncle come, but this matter must be explained clearly to grandpa and grandma. It can't be left unclear." Li Mingxia put down the bowl of soup in his hand and agreed.
This was a pleasant surprise for Li Sanlang. He had already prepared himself to be rejected by Li Mingxia before he opened his mouth.
"Okay, I'll tell you after we finish eating."
"Dad, mom, my brother and I will go with you." Li Mingxia thought for a moment and said.
Li Sanlang became even happier when he heard this. Seeing that Li Mingxia didn't look troubled, Zhang felt relieved and continued to pick up food for Zhang Lishan.
"Uncle, please eat more. My eldest sister said that this is specially made for you." Li Zhengde leaned next to Zhang Lishan and pointed at the dishes on the table.
Zhang Lishan drank up the wine in the glass, then stood up and poured another glass for Li Sanlang.
"Brother, this won't work. Please sit down. Brother, I have to pour it for you!" Li Sanlang said immediately.
Zhang Lishan pushed Li Sanlang back onto the stool. "Let's not talk about these empty words about our relationship. Brother-in-law, as the eldest brother, I won't mention the past. From now on, I will hand over my sister and my nieces and nephews to you. You are the head of the family. No matter what, you can't let anyone bully your wife and children, right?"
Li Sanlang nodded, understanding what Zhang Lishan meant. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and clinked glasses with his brother-in-law. Sometimes things between men don't need to be explained so clearly. A look and a glass of wine can say everything.
After dinner, Li Sanlang saw that it was getting dark and wanted to go to the old house to discuss this matter quickly, but he felt embarrassed to rush him because Zhang and Zhang Lishan were talking.
"Zhengde, take Mingqiu, Mingdong and your uncle to play at home for a while. We will be back soon." Li Mingxia said to Li Zhengde who was snuggling with Zhang Lishan.
"Okay, sister, I got it. I'll wash apples and pears for uncle later!" Li Zhengde said with a smile.
He hated going to the old house the most. Although he usually liked to stick to Li Mingxia, he was unwilling to get close to her for such things. In addition, Zhang Lishan was at his home, so he was even more reluctant to move.
"Let's go, Dad. It's getting dark and we have a lot to do tomorrow."
Li Sanlang was already anxious, so he stood up immediately and urged Zhang with his eyes.
After the three of them went out, they went straight to the old house. No one spoke along the way, and Li Mingxia didn't speak either. She was thinking about what to say when they arrived at the old house.
When Mr. Li saw Li Mingxia and others coming in, he was very enthusiastic. He invited them to sit on the kang and asked someone to bring them water.
"Mingxia, is it cold outside? You have to wear more clothes when you go out. The more I look at you, the thinner and weaker you seem to me. It makes me uncomfortable to see you." Grandpa Li took Li Mingxia affectionately, looked her up and down, and said.
Li Mingxia calmly withdrew his hand, and instead of sitting on the kang, he sat next to Zhang.
"Dad, Mom, we came here today two reasons: one is to see you, and the other is that we have something we want you to do." Li Sanlang couldn't wait to say as soon as he sat down.
Originally, asking Li Erlang to work was a good way to make money. Anyone in the Li family who was sensible and grateful would be grateful. However, Li Sanlang put himself in the lowest position for the sake of Mr. Li and Mrs. Zheng's face.
"Third brother, just tell me what you want to say." Old Master Li said immediately. Old Lady Zheng glanced at Li Sanlang and said nothing.
Not to mention Zhang and Li Sanlang, even Li Mingxia breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Old Mrs. Zheng didn't say anything.
"My family wants to build a few small workshops, and we have almost found all the people except for one vacancy. I thought my second elder brother is very strong, so I would like to ask him to go and help out for a few days. Dad, do you think it's okay?" Li Sanlang said respectfully.
When Mr. Li heard what Li Sanlang said, he was immediately delighted. He didn't even ask Li Erlang if he wanted to go, but directly made the decision: "Great! Why not? This is how it should be! This is my own brother!"
