Li Mei asked, "Has Li Pei's matter been settled?"
Wang Yulan was eavesdropping at the side.
Li Long said, "Who does that bastard listen to? He doesn't even want to see me and keeps saying that he has no time. Just you wait and see. I'll go catch him after some time. He's so lawless. "
All these years, his business had been successful and his family had a surplus of money. His reputation on both sides of the Huai River was quite good and he lived a carefree life. The only thing on his mind was that his child was of age and it was time for him to start a family.
Li Pei was in his early thirties. He was not anxious and continued to be sloppy, but Li Long and his wife were very worried.
Wang Yulan said angrily, "If he doesn't do it enough, he'll come home and beat him up. He's getting more and more disobedient every day. There's no time for him to stop."
Li Long said, "It's fine. I'll handle it. You stay at home and watch over him. If I don't beat him up, I'm not his father."
"Don't hit his face." Wang Yulan emphasized again.
Li Yi looked at her grandmother's serious expression and could not help but laugh.
She drank a little too much and could not keep her eyes open. She did not chat with Eldest Aunt and Grandma and fell asleep on the bed.
In her daze, she could still hear Grandma and Eldest Aunt's voices in the front yard. It sounded like they were arguing, but she could not be bothered. When she woke up, it was already past nine in the morning.
She rubbed her messy hair and stood at the door. The bright sun was so bright that she could not open her eyes.
Li Mei shouted, "You're barefoot. Your slippers are cold. Hurry and put on some socks."
Li Yi said nonchalantly, "It's fine. It's warm."
She stretched her body and started to brush her teeth and wash her face. When she was done, Eldest Aunt had already placed breakfast in front of her.
Li Mei said, "It's almost time for lunch. Eat less and leave some space for your stomach."
Li Yi asked with a smile, "Is there any preserved vegetable meat that I like?"
Li Mei smiled and said, "You can't be missed. Oh, by the way, Pan Ying and Wu You came just now. They saw that you were still sleeping, so they didn't wake you up. Call them and tell them to come here for lunch."
"Pan Ying, Pan Ying!" Li Yi shouted towards the Pan Family's courtyard.
"Coming, coming …" Pan Ying replied from across the yard.
As Li Yi ate her steamed bun, she smiled and said, "Look, I saved 30 cents on the phone bill."
Pan Ying came with Wu You.
Wu You teased, "You're such a good sleeper. Don't you know what time it is?"
Li Mei said, "She took a plane, changed trains, and drank so much. Who else would she be tired if not her? You guys can bask in the sun at the door. I'll just pull out a few dishes and we'll share a table. "
Wu You smiled and said, "Auntie, let me help you."
She went into the kitchen and helped Li Mei wash the dishes and pick the vegetables.
Li Mei cut the bacon as she asked, "How's your father's illness?"
"Hmm?" Wu You did not react at first. After a while, she realized that she was talking about Wang Dalong. She said, "He's lying at home. I don't think he'll last long. It's just the matter at hand. I'll wait at home and see what's going on."
She did not have much affection for her biological father. What she was doing now was just for peace of mind and to avoid regret in the future.
Li Mei said, "Sigh, it's hard on you. Then stay at home for a while longer so that you don't have to come back when you go back."
Wu You smiled and said, "What's so hard about it? Actually, when I think about it, I've been quite lucky in this life. Uncle Erhe saved my life and everyone spoils and spoils me so much. Really, I feel quite content."
She was a child who was abandoned by her parents. She was lucky to be alive. Moreover, she was living quite freely now and could control her own life.
Li Mei said angrily, "Stop saying such unpleasant things. You're fine and everyone is happy. Do you have any ideas now? I'll introduce you to someone someday. "
"Don't." Wu You hurriedly stopped her and said, "Auntie, please spare me. It hasn't been long since my previous mess ended. I'd better stop for now. My career is more important now. I'm not in a hurry to find a partner for the time being."
Li Mei smiled and shook her head.
Li Long was riding a motorcycle with Chen Yongqiang sitting on the back seat. He was carrying two grass carps in his chubby hands. After entering the house, he greeted Li Yi first and then went to the yard to kill the fish.
Li Yi said, "Uncle Fatty, why do you have the time to stay at home?"
Fatty Chen said, "Your uncle, I, have nothing better to do now, so I'll just stay here."
"You've put on weight again," Li Yi teased.
Fatty Chen sighed and said, "Time is not only a butcher's knife, but also a pig's feed."
"Uncle Fatty, you're still so funny." Li Yi laughed.
Fatty Chen smiled and said, "Your father won't be back in the near future, right?"
Li Yi said, "I don't think he'll be back. He seems to have a lot of things to do."
Fatty Chen said, "You have to be a little confident when you speak. If you don't have confidence in yourself, how can you make others believe you?"
Li Yi stuck out her tongue. "It's not like you don't know what kind of person he is. He's less busy and more idle."
Fatty Chen said, "I grew up with your father. He used to be really diligent. When it snowed heavily, we would hide at home and not go to school. He couldn't. If he didn't go to school for a day, he would go crazy and risk his life doing everything.
Later, when he went to university, he was finished. No one was lazier than him. "
"Seems like it." She rarely heard about her father's matters from her father. Most of what she heard was from the people around her.
Wang Yulan, who was cleaning the fish's internal organs with a broom, could not help but interrupt, "He's so stubborn. I wonder who he got his name from."
Fatty Chen said, "Auntie, then you see, he's the most promising one."
Wang Yulan had a smug look on her face as she declined to comment.
During lunch, only Li Long and Fatty Chen drank. The three girls did not drink. After lunch, they drove to the county.
First, they met up with Zhou Yun at the entrance of the county hotel. Everyone went to the commercial street together, going for snacks. As for clothes, cosmetics, and the like, no one paid attention to them.
They walked and ate along the way. Occasionally, they would sit in a snack bar and rest for a while. They shopped until five or six in the afternoon.
Zhou Yun suggested going to a restaurant for dinner, but the other three unanimously rejected her. Their stomachs were bulging and they really could not eat anymore.
In the end, they unanimously decided to go karaoke. They messed around until the wee hours of the morning. She did not know if it was because they sang too much or because they drank too much. When they woke up in the hotel the next day, not only were they not agile, but their voices were also hoarse.
She realized that she was not the only one. Wu You's nasal voice was also heavy.
Pan Ying said with a smile, "You two can't be so useless, right?"
Wu You said, "I'm already so old. How can I still play around with you young people?"
After lunch, they did not need to go out no matter what, so they laid on the bed and continued to sleep. Li Yi curiously touched her forehead. It was boiling hot. She exclaimed, "Oh no, you must have caught a cold."
