Chapter 62: Return to Jiangcheng

After more than 50 hours of hard journey, the green train finally entered the station with a sharp "grunt". Read М

Dragging his tired body, Li Yi climbed down from the hard sleeper, checked the things he brought with him, and got off the train after finding nothing left behind.

After leaving the station, Li Yi really missed the two babies at home, so he was too lazy to take the bus, so he stopped a three-wheeled vehicle and rushed directly to the meat processing plant.

After returning to the meat processing plant, Li Yi did not go home directly, but went to the vegetable market first.

According to the time, Xu Qingnan should still be working in the factory, and his daughter should also be in the kindergarten.

So there should be no one at home. What he has to do is to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and prepare them, so that when his wife and daughter come back, there will be hot and fragrant meals to eat.

Today, Li Yi bought fresh ribs and a big carp, and then some simple vegetables.

One braised ribs, one iron pot stewed fish, and another stir-fried vegetable, enough for a family of three.

But when Li Yi opened the door, he found that there was someone at home. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be his sister-in-law and younger sister Xu Qingyao!

Suddenly, Li Yi couldn't help but pat his head. He forgot that the little girl was about to take the college entrance examination. She might have been reviewing at home these days.

Xu Qingyao was also surprised to hear the door open, but when she saw that it was Li Yi who opened the door, her face suddenly lit up.

"Brother, why are you back?"

"Why, I can't come back?" Li Yi joked.

"That's not what I meant. My sister said you went to Guangzhou and Shenzhen. I don't know how many days you will be gone. I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

"I came back after I finished my work. Why aren't you in school?"

"Just finished the second mock test. The teacher asked me to go home and rest for two days!"

"Is the second mock test finished? How did you do?" Li Yi asked hurriedly.

Xu Qingyao shook her head and said, "There is basically no hope for the first-tier universities, and the second-tier universities are also difficult. With my current grades, I can only get into an ordinary junior college."

"It's okay, just try your best. As long as you work hard, you won't regret it even if you don't achieve your expected goals!"

"I know, brother!"

At this time, Xu Qingyao suddenly saw the meat and vegetables in Li Yi's hand, and said in surprise: "Brother, are you going to cook again?"

"Well, I'll make braised pork ribs and stewed fish for you today!"

"Brother, I want to eat boiled fish!"

"No problem, arrange it!"

"Brother, you are so nice!"

"Okay, you read first, I'll go cook first!"

Looking at Li Yi's back as he turned and walked into the kitchen, Xu Qingyao flashed a faint smile on her face. The brother who was willing to shelter them from the wind and rain is back again.

To be honest, her brother's performance in recent years really disappointed her a little.

Smoking, drinking, and gambling, it really is all the five poisons of eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking.

But since she came back last time, she found that her brother had changed.

In the past two days, Li Yi was not at home, so Xu Qingyao had been accompanying her sister Xu Qingnan and her niece Weiwei. She found that her sister smiled more often, and when she talked about her brother Li Yi, she was full of praise.

It seemed that the person in front of her who had been eating, drinking, gambling, and smoking before, and who was almost a scumbag, was not the one in front of her!

But she could indeed feel the changes in Li Yi. Not only could he earn money for the family, but more importantly, he no longer went out to fool around like before.

In fact, since Li Yi made hundreds of thousands of yuan at one time last time, everyone, including Xu Qingyao and her parents, was worried that he would return to his old ways and continue to return to his previous state.

But obviously their worries were unnecessary. Li Yi only rested at home for a few days and then took Wei Sanpao to Guangzhou and Shenzhen in the south. Obviously, he went to do serious things.

And this time he bought vegetables and cooked, and it can be seen that he has indeed changed a lot.

And as Li Yi's closest person, Xu Qingyao also found that Li Yi's personal emotions seemed to be much calmer, far less sharp than before, and even a little violent.

At the moment, Li Yi seemed to have restrained all his sharpness. He looked gentle and confident.

Soon, a fragrance came out from the kitchen. Xu Qingyao sniffed and her stomach began to protest.

Before, she heard her sister say that her brother's cooking was very good. She thought that her sister was just deliberately flattering her man, but now it seems to be true.

This smell almost made her cry with greed across several walls.

Li Yi didn't know that this little girl had so many thoughts in her heart, but even if she knew, she would probably just shake her head and smile.

In Li Yi's opinion, Xu Qingyao was still a child, and Li Yi didn't care how she thought of him.

And Li Yi also believed that with his ability, he should be able to change his impression in Xu Qingyao's mind soon.

What he had to do now was to improve her grades as soon as possible and help her get into a good university.

...

At half past five, with a silver bell-like laughter coming from outside the door, the door was opened from outside.

Li Yi knew that his two babies were back, so he came out to check.

The little girl saw Li Yi as soon as she opened the door, and immediately said happily: "Mom, Dad is back, Dad is back!"

As she said that, the little girl threw her schoolbag directly to the ground, and then rushed directly to Li Yi.

Li Yi was also very happy, and he picked up the little girl and lifted her up high!

In an instant, the whole room was filled with the happy laughter of father and daughter.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qingnan felt that the fatigue in his body was swept away, and a feeling of happiness quietly surged into his heart.

After the father and daughter calmed down a little, Xu Qingnan had the opportunity to ask, "When did you come back?"

"In the afternoon, I came in not long ago!"

Then Li Yi said again, "The meal is ready, you and Weiwei can start eating after washing your hands!!"

At this time, the clever little ghost had seen the delicacies on the kitchen counter and said excitedly, "Mom, Dad made braised pork ribs, Weiwei likes meat the most!"

"Hey, you little foodie, didn't the kindergarten have dinner?"

"There are no pork ribs in the kindergarten, Weiwei wants to eat meat!"

Xu Qingnan said helplessly, "If you keep eating like this, you will become a big fat man, just like Uncle Zhou next door!"

As soon as the voice fell, Li Yi smiled and said, "Children are growing up, it doesn't matter if they eat more!"

"You, just spoil her!"

"Haha, if I don't spoil my daughter, who will? You say it's right, girl!"

"Yes, yes, yes!!"

Then, the happy laughter of the father and daughter came from the room again!
