As soon as the car arrived at the entrance of the house, the gate was already opened.
As soon as the car stopped, Wang Yulan did not wait for her son to open the door. She opened the door herself and ran into the bamboo forest to retch. She had not felt comfortable on the way.
Four felt sorry for his mother and quickly brought her a cup of warm water to soothe her mouth and soothe her back from time to time.
"Woof woof!" Da Huang, who was chained to the wall, saw the family and tightened the chain, wanting to pounce on Li He.
Li Zhaokun was delighted and quickly went forward to untie the chain. He seemed to like it very much.
The three children were familiar with Ah Wang and were naturally not afraid of Da Huang. They carelessly stroked its head and allowed it to lick its fingers.
Da Huang ran towards Li He and kept running around him. Li He stroked Da Huang and found that its fur was sparse. Many parts of its fur had already fallen off.
Four said, "It got a scab, so I just shaved its fur and fed it some medicine. It's already scabbed, so it's not a big deal."
She studied medicine and knew that humans and animals were similar in some pathologies. Therefore, she personally treated Da Huang.
She also liked Da Huang very much.
"It's old. It's really old." Li He could already feel Da Huang's bones. It only had a layer of skin on its body.
Those inanimate tables and chairs had been used for more than ten years and they still had feelings for it, let alone Da Huang, who was so human-like.
The auntie had already prepared lunch. Ding Shiping and the others were not willing to sit at the table. They were very casual in the country, but outside, they naturally had a different rule. They were only willing to eat in the small kitchen.
Li He had no choice but to open two bottles of good wine for them. Then, he asked the auntie to clean up two rooms for them. The house was very big, so the rooms were the best.
He looked at his laoniang again. She had not recovered yet and was dizzy and disoriented. Accompanied by the fourth child, she went to bed to sleep.
Li Zhaokun had a good appetite. He scooped out the big bones from the pig trotter soup and chewed on them with relish. However, he did not forget the children beside him. Occasionally, he would bite off a few pieces of meat and stuff it into the three children's mouths.
The three children didn't mind the dirty saliva and chewed it with relish.
"Dad, let them eat by themselves." Four came downstairs and couldn't bear to watch.
"Bah!" Li Zhaokun squinted at his daughter. "Didn't you also eat like this when you were young?"
Four was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. He could only scoop a lot of food into each of the children's bowls. After they finished eating, he arranged for them to take a nap upstairs.
Li Zhaokun did not want to take a nap. He skillfully took a few packs of cigarettes from the drawer under the television wall and put them in his pocket. He then called Da Huang to go out for a walk.
Li He was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, unwilling to move.
Huang Bingxin had been standing in front of him the whole time. When he saw Li He open his eyes, Huang Bingxin handed him a cup of tea and spread a few pieces of paper on the table. "Mr. Li, the child's enrollment information is all here. You can go there at any time."
"Sorry to trouble you." Li He took a look. They were all good schools and there was nothing to nitpick about. "Take a seat. There's no need to stand."
"Mr. Li, you're too kind." Huang Bingxin's legs were numb from standing. He finally plucked up the courage to sit on the sofa.
Li He wanted to say something, but he saw Loud Speaker hiding outside and peeking inside. He was furious. "Get in here."
It was a waste to hand the film company over to him!
Currently, there was only exit and no entry!
"Mr. Li, Mr. Li!"
Loud Speaker was dressed neatly. Her shirt, leather shoes, belt, and watch were all exquisite. If she had not been hunched over in front of Li He, she would have looked like a talented person.
Li He asked, "You have nothing to do?"
Loud Speaker said, "Mr. Li, I heard you were coming today, so I rushed over."
"I don't need you to see me. The film company did it for me. It's better than anything else. "Li He was angry when he did not think about it. He did not care about making money or losing money, but it was a pity to waste people like Stephen Chow and Wu Ada!
Loud Speaker wiped the sweat off her forehead and hurriedly explained, "Mr. Li, don't worry. I will work hard. I've already hired a few directors. They're filming now."
"Go. Do what you need to do." Li He did not want to see it.
Loud Speaker was helpless. She looked back three times with every step and finally left in disappointment.
After a while, Li He chased Huang Bingxin away and continued to lie on his back.
Four refilled Li He's cup of tea. Li He asked, "You're about to graduate. Do you have any plans? Do you want to return to China or stay in Hong Kong or Singapore?"
Four was stunned for a while when he heard his brother suddenly ask this question. "Brother, I want to go to America."
"America?" Li He did not know when Four had this idea. "Why?"
"Harvard has the best medical doctors in the world." Four could not help but lower her head after saying that. She knew that she was making things difficult for her brother, but she still said boldly, "Brother, you don't have to worry about this. The money you gave me is enough, and I'll even get a scholarship."
"Are you that confident that you can apply to Harvard?"
Old Four held his head high. "I will do my best."
"You're already so old. It's best if you can make your own plans." It was rare for Li He to be so considerate, but he added, "It'll be troublesome when I'm older. In my hometown, children of your age are already doing nothing. As long as I agree, I have no objections. "
Four blushed and said, "Thank you, brother."
Seeing that her brother did not say anything else, she went to the kitchen and specially cooked a pot of millet porridge for her mother. Wang Yulan could not help but sigh. Her daughter was starting to be considerate.
The sun set. Li Zhaokun had not returned yet.
Just as Li He was about to go out to look for him, he did not expect to see Li Zhaokun and Da Huang at the door.
Li Zhaokun was holding a snake in his hand. The snake had alternating white and black rings on its back, and it kept spitting out its forked tongue as it was being held upside down.
Ding Shiping reacted quickly and helped to catch it. "Good stuff. Is it for making wine?"
Li Zhaokun chuckled. "If you want to die, drink it. Make it and apply it. It's the best way to stop the pain. "
Li He said, "This is a poisonous snake. You can't just grab it."
Li Zhaokun said nonchalantly, "The spotted snakes at home still died in my hands. It doesn't matter."
He did not care at all.
"You'll be taking care of the children in the future. How can you mess around?" Just as Li He said this, the children ran over and looked at the snake in Ding Shiping's hand.
Ding Shiping was so frightened that he quickly turned around and blocked the snake's head.
The children were not unfamiliar with snakes at all. When they were fishing for lobsters in the river or in the ditch, they would occasionally catch a few. If they used a net, it was even more common. When the snake was entangled in the net and could not be removed, they would cruelly chop it with a shovel.
Li Zhaokun took out a jar and put the snake inside.
Ding Shiping asked with interest, "Do you want to starve it for seven days?"
Li Zhaokun said, "No need. After I'm done eating, I'll go through its stomach from head to toe and it'll be completely drained."
He did not do much serious work, but he was very familiar with these unorthodox methods.
The next morning, Wang Yulan began to talk about Five. She even regretted not bringing a live chicken with her and wanted to give it to her daughter to nourish her body.
Li He did not wait for school to end. He personally drove to the entrance of Five's school and waited.
He waited at the entrance of the school, but Five did not come out.
It was impossible for Five not to recognize such an obvious car!
He finished his last cigarette and brought Ding Shiping into the school. However, he did not know which class Five was in or which teacher she was. He returned empty-handed again.
"I'll beat her to death when I get back!" Li He lit another cigarette in frustration. This wretched girl must have gone out to play. Hong Kong was a colorful world. There were video arcades, parks, shopping malls, and many other places to go!
Ding Shiping advised, "Why don't you go home and wait? Maybe she's already home. "
Li He stepped on the accelerator and increased his speed to the maximum on the road where there were fewer cars.
He was an experienced driver. Even though he was driving in fifth gear, his speed did not decrease by much. He did not drag the gears out of the curve and was much faster than when he came.
"Slow down, slow down." The driver was not afraid, but the passenger was. Ding Shiping kept telling Li He to slow down. He was not worried about himself. He was mainly worried about Li He's safety.
When he reached home, Li He saw Five eating watermelon on the recliner in the yard before he even got out of the car.
He kicked the car door open and picked up the bamboo poles that the children had dropped. He was about to hit Five.
Old Five was smiling when he saw Li He, but when he saw the bamboo pole coming at him, he was so scared that he quickly threw away the watermelon. As he ran, he shouted at his mother, "Your son is crazy!"
"Stop right there!" Li He was furious!
"When did I provoke you!" Five hid behind Wang Yulan, not showing any weakness.
Li He pointed at him with the bamboo pole and said, "Tell me what you were doing today!"
"I was in class the whole day. What are you talking about!"
"Let you …" Li He looked at his mother and stopped himself. "Bullsh * t, I was waiting for you at school. Why didn't you come?"
"That's strange. I wanted to scold you. I couldn't find a driver, so I took a taxi back and asked you to reimburse me!" Five said confidently.
"Fine, you're lying. Keep lying!" Li He ignored Wang Yulan's dissuasion and wanted to go around her to hit him.
Four seemed to have noticed something. He quickly pulled Li He back and asked carefully, "Brother, where did you go to pick her up?"
Li He sneered, "Where else? Of course I went to the entrance of their middle school!"
Five jumped out from behind Wang Yulan and shouted, "I'm already in high school!"
She could not be wronged like this for no reason!
