Li He couldn't do anything about it. If it was his mother, he could still give her some face, but he had to give face to his mother-in-law.
Yu Yao drove Li Lan to and from school on a daily basis. At 6: 30 in the morning, she dropped Old Madam He off at the school gate and picked him up with the old madam at around four in the afternoon.
Li He followed her once. After all, she was a female driver, so he still had to observe her for a period of time. Female drivers were called "natural killers". Although the description was a bit exaggerated, it showed how domineering they were when they drove.
Female drivers couldn't afford to hurt them, but novice female drivers were even more invincible. Female drivers didn't know there was such a thing as a handbrake. In Hong Kong, he had seen it with his own eyes. They almost rear-ended, but they didn't step on the brake and instead covered their eyes …
80% of those who honked on the road were female drivers! Pull over, turn, etc., and suddenly slow down without turning signal. Kill at a small intersection without looking to see if there was a car coming from the left. Overtake on the highway, overtake the overtaking lane behind an oversized car, or slow down significantly. It was simply the rhythm of a killer on the road.
However, Yu Yao was not bad. She was an anomaly among female drivers.
Although not as good as He Fang, her driving skills were much better than Four's. Once, Li He asked Four to drive. Four was at a traffic light and didn't dare to leave. Li He said angrily, "What's wrong? There's no color you like?"
Fourth Brother was nervous, so he immediately stopped burning.
Li He was furious!
Li He followed the car back and forth twice before he was completely relieved about Yu Yao.
This way, he could take advantage of this period to reorganize his real estate business. After all, he was destined to become a big landlord in the world.
CCTV turned on the second channel. Li He had nothing to do and turned on the TV to search for memories. The news was playing the world's largest cable-stayed bridge, the closing of the Yangpu Bridge.
He knew that the development of Pudong couldn't be delayed any longer.
He hid in He Fang's study, took a pen and paper, and prepared to seriously organize his thoughts. The phone rang, but he didn't answer it because Old Madam He was in the living room.
However, when he was about to start writing, Old Madam He nervously pushed the door open and came in.
"Auntie, what's the matter?" Li He sensed Old Madam He's uneasiness.
"Hey, your son-in-law just called. Your aunt got sick and fell into the mud. She's being rescued in the hospital. Old Madam He sighed. "You stay at home and take care of the child. I'll go back with your brother. I have to go back now. If I don't see him again in the future, I'll feel guilty."
Li He exclaimed, "Why would it go to the silt?"
He had been to the wastelands, so he knew that the swamps were extremely deep. If one was not careful, they would sink in. Moreover, He Fang's aunt had epilepsy, so she usually wouldn't go far. She would always be followed by the He family's son-in-law.
"Once the snow melts at the beginning of spring, it will turn into a muddy swamp. There's nowhere you can't sink in. People who step on it will sink into their calves. The main point is that she has this illness. If she was a nimble person, she could just get up after falling down. But she didn't get up. The mud has already poured into her throat. "The old lady sighed.
"I'll go back with you. How can you go alone?" As the He family's eldest son-in-law, He Fang wasn't around, so Li He had to stick his head out. "He Long's shop is busy. It's fine if he doesn't go back."
Old Madam He was in a dilemma. "That's his aunt. How can he not go back? If it were up to me, you shouldn't go back. But Yoshiko won't be back for a while, and there's no one to look after the child. That won't do either. "
"If her mother doesn't go, how can I not go? I'll go buy a ticket now." Li He understood what the old lady meant. Although she said she didn't want him to go, she still wanted him to go. After all, he and He Fang were both from independent families.
If he didn't go, the He family would look bad.
Li He called Pinsong and asked him to buy a ticket to Ice City.
"Do we have any acquaintances or offices in Ice City?"
"Brother, have you forgotten about Dong Jinbu?" Pinsong continued, "He's made a fortune from border trade and timber sales. His words carry a lot of weight in the northeast. If you need anything, I'll call him."
"Ask him to buy a train ticket from Ice City." Li He had almost forgotten about this guy. When Pan Song went north to the Soviet Union, it was this guy who led the way.
"The route from Ice City to Heihe is open. Can't we just buy a ticket to Heihe? Then we can transfer to a bus from Heihe. That will save us a lot of time. "Pinsong suggested to Li He.
"That's even better." Taking a train was indeed troublesome. Li He said, "Hurry up. The faster, the better."
After he hung up, he remembered who he should arrange for Li Lan to go with.
Yu Yao was good at driving, but she probably couldn't take care of the child. Moreover, Li Lan didn't have much of a relationship with her.
As for Wu Chunyan, if He Long went with her, he would have to take care of three children and the business of the restaurant.
After thinking about it, only Chang Jing was suitable. He went to find Chang Jing, and she agreed to stay with the Li family for a period of time to look after Li Lan. Grandma Feng was gone. Her son and daughter were all out of town. She didn't need to take care of her grandson. She had nothing to do at home.
Feng Lei had mentioned several times that she should go to Xianghe to live with them, but she didn't agree. If she went back to Xianghe, wouldn't her brothers, nieces, and nephews be closer to her?
She had already helped enough, sacrificed enough, and fulfilled her greatest obligation. She only hoped that they would be satisfied, but they were still so greedy that they couldn't wait to suck the last drop of her blood.
Now she didn't have the ability to help them. If she went, she would only be a burden to her son. It was better for her not to go.
It was a hometown that she couldn't go back to. She felt inexplicably upset when she looked at it, even though she missed the green wheat seedlings, the floating rape flowers, and the budding fruit trees.
The vision that the big city gave her sometimes made it difficult for her to bear the layout of a small city.
The reason why she couldn't go back to her hometown was not because of the distance in space, but because of the distance in her heart.
Li He was still worried after making the arrangements, so he called Da Kui over. "I'll be going out for a few days. Help me look after the family. Yu Yao will take the children to and from school, and you will follow him."
Da Kui patted his chest and said, "Brother, if there's a mistake, you can chop off my head! Isn't Brother Wu living alone now? I'll move a bed and bring two people to sleep here. I guarantee there won't be any mistakes. "
He was very excited. Li He gave him the important task of accompanying the Crown Prince to study. It showed that he had complete trust in him! This was a good opportunity for him to make a contribution!
If he couldn't do such a simple thing well, he deserved to be old and useless for the rest of his life!
In less than two hours, he arranged for people to carry the bed and quilt into Wu Chunqiang's room.
When Wu Chunyan heard that He Long was going back, she was a little unhappy. However, she couldn't show it in front of her mother-in-law and son-in-law, so she could only let He Long go with her.
Although Li Lan wasn't very dependent on his father, there was no one at home to care about him. Tears of grievance streamed down his face.
Li He comforted him, "Don't cry. I'll bring you delicious food when I come back."
That afternoon, he took He Long and Old Madam He to board the plane to Ice City.
After more than two hours of flight, it was already seven o 'clock in the evening when they got off the plane. They didn't rest for half an hour or eat something before they hurriedly boarded the plane to Black River.
By the time the plane landed at Black River, it was already past nine o 'clock.
Old Madam He reminded Li He, "Hurry up and put on your jacket. Otherwise, you won't be able to take it."
Although it was already past April and the snow was melting and azaleas were blooming all over the mountain, the temperature difference between day and night was still very big. Sometimes, it was not unusual for it to be below zero degrees Celsius.
Black River Airport was very small. As soon as they arrived at the terminal, He Long poked Li He and said, "Brother-in-law, that person is looking for you."
Li He narrowed his eyes and saw several people standing outside the railing, holding a sign with his name on it.
He roughly recognized that it was Dong Jinbu. Before he could go over to greet him, Dong Jinbu waved at him and said, "Boss Li, over here."
Li He gestured at the exit, indicating that they should meet there.
As soon as he said that, Dong Jinbu took the luggage from his hands and said with a smile, "Boss Li, you've worked hard."
Li He extended his hand to him and said, "Sorry to trouble you."
"Boss Li, you're slapping me in the face by saying that!" Dong Jinbu looked very serious.
"Let's go. I'm suffocating to smoke at the entrance." Li He smiled and patted him on the shoulder before walking straight out of the hall.
Outside the terminal, he lit up his own cigarette before Dong Jinbu could pass it to him. "You can smoke your own."
"Boss Li, I've arranged everything. You guys can rest for the night. I'll drive you to DXAL tomorrow." Dong Jinbu wanted to give He Long a cigarette, but He Long refused, so he stuffed it back into the cigarette box.
Li He waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's no trouble for you. We'll just find another car. You can do whatever you want."
Dong Jinbu shook his head and said, "That won't do. I won't be at ease if you guys go northwest. You haven't been here for a few years, so you might not understand the situation here. The kids here are all ferocious, holding machetes and pretending to be lords on the streets. They're all like tigers and eat lavishly. You have to let me follow you.
I'll be at ease if I follow you. "He Long finally had a chance to interject. He said nonchalantly," I'm a local. I'll cut whoever dares to do that! "
Dong Jinbu said to He Long, "Big brother, a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him."
"Thank you then." Seeing his sincerity, Li He did not decline. He turned to Old Madam He and asked, "Let's rest for the night and leave tomorrow morning?"
Old Madam He said, "I heard your son-in-law getting anxious over the phone. I don't know if your aunt can hold out until we get back."
"Then let's get something to eat and leave immediately." Li He made a decision immediately. He smiled at Dong Jinbu and said, "You choose the place. You treat."
Dong Jinbu laughed heartily. Li He did not treat him as an outsider.
He opened the car door for Old Madam He and said, "Auntie, get in the car first. Let's eat and be full. If you trust your big brother, I promise I'll deliver it to you tonight."
"Big brother, look at this." Old Madam He still got in the car.
The six cars went straight to the city center of Black River and waited at the entrance of a big restaurant.
