In the end, Han Lizheng accepted the three farmsteads from Li Zexuan, mainly because he couldn't bear to see the people near the mine get sick because of pollution.
Li Zexuan gave his father-in-law the farmsteads not only to make it easier to manage the environment around the mine, but also to find some work for his father-in-law. Now that Han Yuxi was married and Iron Egg was in school, under normal circumstances, only his father-in-law was at home. After a long time, it was inevitable that he would feel lonely.
Last year, it wasn't that Li Zexuan didn't think about arranging a marriage for his father-in-law. After all, Han Lizheng was only in his early forties. However, when Han Lizheng heard his suggestion, he almost turned hostile with Li Zexuan and became his enemy!
After that, Li Zexuan didn't dare to mention this matter again, because he knew that his father-in-law still missed his deceased mother-in-law.
There was a kind of love in the world, called 'to grow old together'. There was also a kind of sorrow, called 'to be separated by Yin and Yang'.
Han Lizheng's pursuit of love might have completely died with the tombstone.
Li Zexuan suddenly gave the three farmsteads to Han Lizheng because he wanted to make Han Lizheng busy. When his life was full, he would feel less lonely. Naturally, he wouldn't be alone.
However, he didn't expect that this unintentional action would benefit the people. In the future, the number one farmstead in Hedong would come from Han Lizheng's farmsteads.
…
The next day, around nine in the morning, Li Xiaogong, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and a group of people came. Not only did they come, Li Xiaogong's younger brother Li Daozong and Li Daozong's daughter Li Xueyan also came along.
Li Xueyan was less than six years old this year. When the fleet went out to sea last year, Li Zexuan saw her along the Ba River when he saw Li Xiaogong off. At that time, the little girl was a little shy and didn't dare to talk to him. Now that she was a year older, the little girl took the initiative to call him, "Brother Xiaoxuan!"
Li Zexuan laughed and quickly asked Xiao He to take out a big red packet and put it in Li Xueyan's hand.
"Here! Xueyan, Big Brother wishes you a happy New Year and hopes that you'll grow prettier and prettier! "
"Thank you, Brother Xiaoxuan!"
The little girl was so happy that she revealed two cute rabbit teeth. Coupled with her snow-white fluffy jacket, she looked like a little angel ~!
"Sigh! This was the future Princess Wencheng! What a cute little girl. Now that I'm here, I'm determined not to let those Tubo barbarians snatch her away! "
Li Zexuan thought with mixed feelings.
At this moment, Lan 'er realized that a young lady younger than her had come to the house. She was instantly excited and began to act like an elder sister. She brought Li Xueyan, who was visiting Cloud Mountain for the first time, out for a "walk"!
Li Zexuan smiled. He was not worried about the safety of the two little girls. The entire Cloud Mountain was his territory. No one could hurt his family!
"Haha! Marquis Yong 'an, this prince heard that there are delicacies here and came uninvited. Please don't blame me ~! "
Li Daozong watched as Li Xueyan was taken away by Lan 'er. Then, he looked at Li Zexuan and joked with him.
Actually, he was not willing to come this time. After all, Li Zexuan did not invite him. However, he could not take advantage of little Xueyan's pleading and "acting cute" and had no choice but to come!
This was because he was very close to Li Xiaogong's residence. Moreover, Li Xueyan liked to visit Li Xiaogong's house since she was young. Of course, she knew that Li Xiaogong was coming to Cloud Mountain for a banquet today!
Therefore, for the sake of his daughter, Li Daozong had no choice but to be thick-skinned and come for a free meal!
"Haha! What are you saying, Prince of Jiangxia? It's rare for you to come to Cloud Mountain. I can't wait to welcome you. How can you blame me! "
Li Zexuan cupped his fists and smiled. Then, he called out, "Uncles, don't stand outside. Come in and take a seat!"
Everyone nodded. Under Li Zexuan's lead, they entered the courtyard and came to the main hall. Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin had been here before. They were still fine. However, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Yuchi Jingde, and the rest were all deeply shocked by the luxurious, clean, and unique decorations in the room. They did not expect this Cloud Mountain courtyard to not only look unique from the outside, but also be so luxurious and grand inside!
"Tsk, tsk! Looking at this house, I want to exchange my residence with Marquis Yong 'an! "
Li Daozong looked around, rubbed his chin, and sighed.
Li Xiaogong agreed. "Haha! Daozong is right! This house is bright and grand. I don't know how it was built. It looks more comfortable than my residence! "
"Haha, you must be joking. It's just a small courtyard. How can it be as good as you make it out to be! Uncles, please take a seat here. The ingredients are all prepared and will be ready soon! "
Li Zexuan smiled and said.
"Haha! No rush, no rush! Xiaoxuan, you do your things first. We old fellows can take this chance to take a good look at this courtyard! "
Niu Jinda waved his hand and said in a rough voice.
Li Zexuan saw this and went to the kitchen to help cut the mutton. He was the only one in the family who could do this kind of chores.
About half an hour later, all the ingredients were on the table. This table was specially built by the Li family to be used for hotpot. There was a round hole in the middle. Under the hole, there was a bracket for a small stove. The hotpot could be placed on top of the stove. A group of people could sit around the table and eat hotpot. It was very convenient!
Li Zexuan asked someone to call Lan 'er and Li Xueyan back. Only then did the banquet officially begin.
"Wu ~! Fragrant! It really has a different flavor! No wonder Cheng Zhijie shouted that he wanted to eat hotpot! This way of eating is really too delicious! "
Li Xiaogong tasted a mouthful of the mutton and his eyes widened as he praised.
"En en! This hotpot really lives up to its name of being delicious! "
Li Daozong also tasted a mouthful. At this moment, he was somewhat thankful to his daughter. Otherwise, how would he be able to taste such delicious food today?
"En en, it's delicious! Father, let's bring some back for mother to eat when we leave! Mother is so pitiful to be alone in the residence! "
This was the first time Li Xueyan had eaten such delicious food. She was a little speechless and didn't know how to describe it. But as long as it was delicious, then it was over. Furthermore, this young lady still couldn't forget about her mother at this time. Her filial piety was commendable!
"Haha! Xueyan, don't worry! When your father returns, I will let the chefs in the residence make it for your mother! Hurry and eat! "
Li Daozong patted his daughter's back with a gratified expression and said with a smile.
When the young lady heard this, she immediately felt relieved and began to eat the hotpot.
A few old fellows were eating hotpot while laughing and drinking loudly. Han Yuxi and Lan 'er were taking care of Li Xueyan and helping her to eat. Halfway through the meal, Li Xueyan suddenly raised her head and said, "Brother Xiao Xuan, the academy on this mountain is so beautiful! When Xueyan grows up, can I also come here to study ~? "
