However, Ji Yuanyuan did not mind at all. She reached out and touched the two childrenâs faces.
Meng Xiaoning saw this and reprimanded, âYou two, hurry up and wash your hands. Youâve dirtied her dress. You have to compensate her.â
Li Nian grew up drinking her milk, and she had stayed there for a while.
Therefore, she treated Li Nian the same as she treated Li Xiang.
She praised and scolded when she needed to.
Qin Xiaomin was very magnanimous about this matter and was not angry at all.
However, the two children were not afraid of Meng Xiaoning at all.
Li Xiang said in a childish voice, âPay! Use my new year money to buy a new dress for Sister!â
Li Nian was not willing to be outdone., âUse mine to buy. 1 have a lot of new year money! Buy a lot of them for Sister!â
âI have a lot! Iâll buy it for Big Sister!â
Meng Xiaoning laughed in anger, âDo you want to be beaten up?â
The two children saw Meng Xiaoning was angry and quickly ran to the water tank.
Li Nian tiptoed and was about to scoop up the water herself.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan quickly went forward to fetch water for the two of them and washed their hands.
Ji Ziâang had already entered the house. When he saw Gong Wenbai, he excitedly went forward, âUncle Xiao Gong.â
Ever since Gong Wenbai resigned from Qin Junshan, the two of them had never seen each other again.
Gong Wenbai was mixed in with the crowd and was feeling a little reserved. When he saw Ji Ziâang, he heaved a sigh of relief.
âZiâang has grown a lot taller!â he said with a smile.
âNot only have you grown taller, but youâve also become more handsome!â Li Yong joked. âI used to wonder if the hospital gave birth to the wrong child when Big Sister gave birth!â
Ji Ziâang had grown up in the past two years and looked a little handsome.
Ji Ziâang could tell that Li Yong was teasing him, but he was not angry. Smiling, he said, âEveryone says that a nephew looks like their Uncle, Big Brother looks like Eldest Uncle, so 1 look like Second Uncle!â
Li Yong was stunned for a moment before he rolled up his sleeves, âYou little brat, are you mocking me?!â
Ji Ziâang took a step back, and Qin Xiaomin shielded him behind her. She smiled and said, âWhatâs wrong? Heâs right. Youâre indeed a little inferior compared to Big Brother.â
Li Lei was a little embarrassed by the compliments.
Ji Ziâang made a face at Li Yong.
Everyone in the room laughed.
After laughing, Qin Xiaomin looked at Gong Wenbai, âSpeaking of which, 1 have to thank you for what happened with my Mother back then. If it werenât for you and Miaomiao, I wouldnât know what to do.â
Back then, Niu Allanâs surgery was very successful, and she was recovering very well now.
After that incident, her temper had been restrained a lot.
His attitude towards Li Yong had also improved a lot.
Gong Wenbai looked at Li Miao, âI will definitely help Miaomiaoâs family. However, 1 didnât help much. Auntie was lucky and we happened to be of help.â
Qin Xiaomin also looked at Li Miao, âOur Miaomiao has good taste. She has taken a fancy to you. Just wait and enjoy life in the future.â
Li Miao was sitting next to Gong Wenbai. When she heard that, she looked at Gong Wenbai with some happiness.
With the two chefs, Li Yong and Zhang Kun, there was naturally a sumptuous dinner.
At the dining table, they naturally talked about the highlight of the day: Li Miao and Gong Wenbaiâs marriage.
âIâve already bought a house. Itâs in B City. Itâs a three-bedroom apartment thatâs more than 130 square meters. Although itâs not big, itâs enough for the two of us for now. In the future, when I have the ability, weâll change to a bigger one. The house is written in our names. We bought it in full without a loan.â Gong Wenbaiâs attitude was very sincere.
âWe bought a house in the school district. There are several key junior high schools and high schools nearby. When Miaomiao graduates, she can find a school nearby to teach. Itâll be convenient for her to go to and from work.â
They had already seen the car, so Gong Wenbai didnât introduce it.
âIn addition, my mother passed away when I was very young, and my father married another family. 1 was brought up by my grandparents, but they died one after another in the second year of my enlistment. Therefore, our family doesnât have any complicated kinship. When we get married, there wonât be too many people on my side.â
Gong Wenbai said awkwardly.
He left home at the age of 18 and never returned. He had lost contact with many of his relatives.
If it was a wedding, probably only some friends and comrades would be able to attend.
This was the first time the Li family knew about this.
They did not expect Gong Wenbaiâs background to be so pitiful.
Regarding this, they did not dislike it in the slightest. Instead, they felt a little heartache for Gong Wenbai.
âItâs okay. Youâre married to Miaomiao. Her family will be your family from now on.â Li Yong extended his hand and patted Gong Wenbaiâs shoulder.
Although Gong Wenbai was considered a businessman now, he wasnât a person who knew how to talk.
Since Gong Wenbai didnât have any capable relatives, Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming could only worry about the marriage.
After all, she had organized three weddings, and they had experienced the weddings of her son and daughter.
Although Gong Wenbaiâs situation was special, he still had to go through the necessary procedures.
Eor example, these were all necessary for an engagement.
At the dining table, the Li family members reminded him all at once. Gong Wenbai took out a small notebook and carefully wrote it down.
The meal lasted from five oâclock to ten oâclock.
The weather was hot, and they couldnât stay at home, so everyone prepared to go home and didnât drink.
Gong Wenbai booked a hotel in the county. After sending him off, Li Yong and Li Lei discovered Zhang Kunâs new car.
âDid you guys just buy this?â Li Yong asked in surprise.
Ji Ziâang was the first to nod, âYes, itâs very comfortable. Second Uncle, do you want to try it?â
âNo need, no need.â Li Yong waved his hand.
He said no need, but his eyes were filled with envy.
Qin Xiaomin watched from the side, feeling a little upset.
Zhang Kun also drove away with his family.
Only Li Yong and Li Lei were left.
The child was on summer vacation, and Meng Xiaoning was unemployed. Li Lei and his family did not plan to return to the city.
The houses in the countryside were all air-conditioned, so it was not worse than living in the city.
âBe careful on the way back.â Li Lei instructed and brought his wife and children back to the house in the village.
Li Yong sighed and looked at Qin Xiaomin, âLetâs go home.â
It was getting late, and Li Nian was already asleep. Qin Xiaomin carried the child and quietly got into the car.
Li Yong started the car and the two of them walked towards the Qin familyâs house.
There was no one on the road. The cicadas on the tree were chirping, and Li Yong was focused on looking ahead.
âItâs been hard on you all these years.â Qin Xiaomin suddenly whispered.
Their family looked glamorous on the outside and seemed to be rich, but in fact, they were not.
His father could be considered a leader, but he only earned so much money every month.
Working in such a unit had many restrictions. There was no way to do other businesses to earn money.
Therefore, their family only had an empty shell..
