Wang Yulan didn't want to go to the city at all. In her words, if it wasn't for her precious grandson, she would never go to the city.
She couldn't let go of this, nor could she let go of that.
Actually, what could she not let go of?
Other than a few decent houses and some livestock, there was really nothing else at home. There was no wealth worth being reluctant to part with.
After struggling for a few nights, Wang Yulan finally made up her mind to go and see her grandson.
Before she left, she entrusted the family to her little daughter-in-law. She instructed her many times to take good care of the livestock at home and that she would come back as soon as possible.
Duan Mei's ears had calluses from her long-winded nagging.
However, Li Zhaokun was happy. There was nothing more comfortable than being able to go out and bring a lot of money with him. This meant that he would definitely not suffer any hardships.
He brought Wang Yulan to the train station in the provincial capital and was immediately filled with lofty sentiments.
The two of them boarded the train with big and small bags and threw the woven bag containing the old hen onto the luggage rack.
At night, Li Zhaokun was hungry and naturally wanted to buy food. When Wang Yulan heard that the boxed lunch cost one yuan per box, she couldn't bear to part with it. She only asked Li Zhaokun to buy his own portion. She was not willing to eat it herself. She wouldn't get hungry if she skipped a meal.
Spending such a large amount of money on the train ticket was enough to make her heart ache.
Li Zhaokun said casually, "Use my money!"
Wang Yulan said unhappily, "What's yours is still my son's."
"If you ruin your body, the money to go to the hospital will still be my son's." Li Zhaokun didn't care. He still took out money from his pocket and insisted on buying two boxes of boxed lunch. He knew very well how good this woman's appetite was.
She had a good appetite and a big appetite. During the busy farming season, she could eat two bowls of noodles and a steamed bun.
After getting off the train from Guangzhou Station, Wang Yulan couldn't tell the directions in the crowd. She was nervous and helpless. She could only carry her bag and stick closely to Li Zhaokun, carefully following behind him.
Li Zhaokun protected Wang Yulan as if he was protecting a chick. There was an indescribable pride in his heart. Women were women after all, and they still had to rely on him.
From now on, if he said to go east, Wang Yulan would not dare to go west!
Li He had just finished stuffing out a cigarette when he saw the old couple. He hurriedly went forward to help them with their luggage.
He took the woven bag and asked, "Didn't you say that we don't need to bring any animals? I have them all. "
These chickens and ducks were not quarantined, and it would be difficult to bring them into Hong Kong.
Li Zhaokun said, "Your mother didn't listen to me."
"It's naturally better to feed them at home." Wang Yulan suddenly saw her son and found her backbone.
Li He said, "We can't bring them over. We'll give them to someone else later. "
Wang Yulan said, "We came all the way here on the train, and no one said anything. Why can't we bring them? "
"They're afraid of chicken plague." Li He didn't know how to explain.
"Our chickens have never had chicken plague." Wang Yulan shook the bag, and the chicken cooed loudly. She continued, "Look how spirited it is. You don't have to be blind to know that it doesn't have the plague. "
"Okay. Get in the car. "Li He couldn't explain it clearly, and he couldn't force his mother, so he could only go along with his mother's temper.
Li Zhaokun got in the car, looked around, touched here and there, and asked, "Is this your car?"
"Yes." Li He had driven the whole way to Guangzhou. He left the chauffeur at the customs, and he only handed it over to the chauffeur when they entered Hong Kong.
Wang Yulan only muttered a few words about squandering money, and then she fell asleep on the back seat, probably because she was tired.
When they entered the customs, Li He asked the chauffeur, Master Wu, to help them with the documents for the couple. Then, he pointed to the bags of chickens and ducks and asked Master Wu, "How do we bring these in?"
Master Wu smiled and said, "Just put them in the trunk. They won't check. There are often people who pretend to be alive, and they'll pass out in a daze. "
Once they entered Hong Kong, Li Zhaokun couldn't see enough. He had never seen so many tall buildings before. For his convenience, Li He pulled down the window for him, and it gave him a fright. However, this time, he stuck his head out to look.
Li He reminded him, "Don't stick your head out. Cars are coming and going."
At first, Li Zhaokun didn't think much of it. It wasn't until a big truck whizzed past that he retracted his head in fear. "Oh my, almost."
Wang Yulan seemed to be a little carsick, and everything she saw was a little blurry. She kept saying, "I've suffered, I've suffered."
After a while, she complained to Li He, "I heard that the public buses in the city are cheap. Why don't you take the public bus? You're such a big guy. Burning oil is burning money. "
Li He smiled and didn't reply to the old lady.
When the car got on the road, Wang Yulan's head relaxed a little. At least there weren't so many cars, and it made her heart ache.
When they reached the door, He Fang came out with the child in her arms. Finally, she shyly called out to Li He, "Dad, Mom."
This was the first time she had called out to them.
Wang Yulan didn't cheer up when she heard this. She only said anxiously, "You're committing a sin. How can you stand out when you're in confinement? You even dared to come out with the child."
He Fang rushed into the room. Hugging her chubby grandson, her head was no longer dizzy, and her heart was no longer upset. Her face was full of smiles.
After asking about their well-being, she was in the mood to leave. Looking at the house up close, she could only describe it as big and clean.
"How much did you buy this house for?"
"Twenty thousand yuan." This was the excuse that He Fang and Li He had discussed. If it was too much, the old lady wouldn't have to eat for a year or two. In order to prevent Wang Yulan from not being used to strangers, the housekeepers and security guards in the house were all put on leave.
"Twenty thousand? It's such a big house. It's not a loss. "Wang Yulan nodded repeatedly, expressing her satisfaction.
At this moment, Li He was cooking alone in the kitchen. He even had Li Zhaokun help him pick vegetables.
Wang Yulan wanted to go to the kitchen. She stood in the spacious courtyard, looking for a chimney. She couldn't find it even after using her eyes for a long time. In the end, it was her nose that took the credit. The smell from the kitchen rushed into her nose, and she finally found the kitchen.
She looked around the kitchen for a long time, but she couldn't find a hole to add firewood.
Li He taught her how to use the gas stove. She was delighted to find that it was really easy. Then, she chased the father and son out of the kitchen.
She learned to use the electric kettle and microwave.
However, the biggest problem for her was how to go to the toilet.
Who put the toilet in the house?
The toilet bowl was so high!
She couldn't get used to squatting in the toilet bowl, which she was not used to.
As for Li Zhaokun, he was satisfied with everything. He smoked, drank, and lived in a Western-style house. He was extremely satisfied. Moreover, he and Da Huang had a common language, so they became good friends easily.
What he was most dissatisfied with was his grandson's name!
How could he be called Li Lan!
