Chapter 455 - 455:1 Look Like Second Uncle
However, Ji Yuanyuan did not mind at all. She reached out and touched the two children’s faces.
Meng Xiaoning saw this and reprimanded, “You two, hurry up and wash your hands. You’ve dirtied her dress. You have to compensate her.”
Li Nian grew up drinking her milk, and she had stayed there for a while.
Therefore, she treated Li Nian the same as she treated Li Xiang.
She praised and scolded when she needed to.
Qin Xiaomin was very magnanimous about this matter and was not angry at all.
However, the two children were not afraid of Meng Xiaoning at all.
Li Xiang said in a childish voice, “Pay! Use my new year money to buy a new dress for Sister!”
Li Nian was not willing to be outdone., “Use mine to buy. 1 have a lot of new year money! Buy a lot of them for Sister!”
“I have a lot! I’ll buy it for Big Sister!”
Meng Xiaoning laughed in anger, “Do you want to be beaten up?”
The two children saw Meng Xiaoning was angry and quickly ran to the water tank.
Li Nian tiptoed and was about to scoop up the water herself.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan quickly went forward to fetch water for the two of them and washed their hands.
Ji Zi’ang had already entered the house. When he saw Gong Wenbai, he excitedly went forward, “Uncle Xiao Gong.”
Ever since Gong Wenbai resigned from Qin Junshan, the two of them had never seen each other again.
Gong Wenbai was mixed in with the crowd and was feeling a little reserved. When he saw Ji Zi’ang, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Zi’ang has grown a lot taller!” he said with a smile.
“Not only have you grown taller, but you’ve also become more handsome!” Li Yong joked. “I used to wonder if the hospital gave birth to the wrong child when Big Sister gave birth!”
Ji Zi’ang had grown up in the past two years and looked a little handsome.
Ji Zi’ang could tell that Li Yong was teasing him, but he was not angry. Smiling, he said, “Everyone says that a nephew looks like their Uncle, Big Brother looks like Eldest Uncle, so 1 look like Second Uncle!”
Li Yong was stunned for a moment before he rolled up his sleeves, “You little brat, are you mocking me?!”
Ji Zi’ang took a step back, and Qin Xiaomin shielded him behind her. She smiled and said, “What’s wrong? He’s right. You’re indeed a little inferior compared to Big Brother.”
Li Lei was a little embarrassed by the compliments.
Ji Zi’ang made a face at Li Yong.
Everyone in the room laughed.
After laughing, Qin Xiaomin looked at Gong Wenbai, “Speaking of which, 1 have to thank you for what happened with my Mother back then. If it weren’t for you and Miaomiao, I wouldn’t know what to do.”
Back then, Niu Allan’s surgery was very successful, and she was recovering very well now.
After that incident, her temper had been restrained a lot.
His attitude towards Li Yong had also improved a lot.
Gong Wenbai looked at Li Miao, “I will definitely help Miaomiao’s family. However, 1 didn’t help much. Auntie was lucky and we happened to be of help.”
Qin Xiaomin also looked at Li Miao, “Our Miaomiao has good taste. She has taken a fancy to you. Just wait and enjoy life in the future.”
Li Miao was sitting next to Gong Wenbai. When she heard that, she looked at Gong Wenbai with some happiness.
With the two chefs, Li Yong and Zhang Kun, there was naturally a sumptuous dinner.
At the dining table, they naturally talked about the highlight of the day: Li Miao and Gong Wenbai’s marriage.
“I’ve already bought a house. It’s in B City. It’s a three-bedroom apartment that’s more than 130 square meters. Although it’s not big, it’s enough for the two of us for now. In the future, when I have the ability, we’ll change to a bigger one. The house is written in our names. We bought it in full without a loan.” Gong Wenbai’s attitude was very sincere.
“We bought a house in the school district. There are several key junior high schools and high schools nearby. When Miaomiao graduates, she can find a school nearby to teach. It’ll be convenient for her to go to and from work.”
They had already seen the car, so Gong Wenbai didn’t introduce it.
“In addition, my mother passed away when I was very young, and my father married another family. 1 was brought up by my grandparents, but they died one after another in the second year of my enlistment. Therefore, our family doesn’t have any complicated kinship. When we get married, there won’t be too many people on my side.”
Gong Wenbai said awkwardly.
He left home at the age of 18 and never returned. He had lost contact with many of his relatives.
If it was a wedding, probably only some friends and comrades would be able to attend.
This was the first time the Li family knew about this.
They did not expect Gong Wenbai’s background to be so pitiful.
Regarding this, they did not dislike it in the slightest. Instead, they felt a little heartache for Gong Wenbai.
“It’s okay. You’re married to Miaomiao. Her family will be your family from now on.” Li Yong extended his hand and patted Gong Wenbai’s shoulder.
Although Gong Wenbai was considered a businessman now, he wasn’t a person who knew how to talk.
Since Gong Wenbai didn’t have any capable relatives, Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming could only worry about the marriage.
After all, she had organized three weddings, and they had experienced the weddings of her son and daughter.
Although Gong Wenbai’s situation was special, he still had to go through the necessary procedures.
Eor example, these were all necessary for an engagement.
At the dining table, the Li family members reminded him all at once. Gong Wenbai took out a small notebook and carefully wrote it down.
The meal lasted from five o’clock to ten o’clock.
The weather was hot, and they couldn’t stay at home, so everyone prepared to go home and didn’t drink.
Gong Wenbai booked a hotel in the county. After sending him off, Li Yong and Li Lei discovered Zhang Kun’s new car.
“Did you guys just buy this?” Li Yong asked in surprise.
Ji Zi’ang was the first to nod, “Yes, it’s very comfortable. Second Uncle, do you want to try it?”
“No need, no need.” Li Yong waved his hand.
He said no need, but his eyes were filled with envy.
Qin Xiaomin watched from the side, feeling a little upset.
Zhang Kun also drove away with his family.
Only Li Yong and Li Lei were left.
The child was on summer vacation, and Meng Xiaoning was unemployed. Li Lei and his family did not plan to return to the city.
The houses in the countryside were all air-conditioned, so it was not worse than living in the city.
“Be careful on the way back.” Li Lei instructed and brought his wife and children back to the house in the village.
Li Yong sighed and looked at Qin Xiaomin, “Let’s go home.”
It was getting late, and Li Nian was already asleep. Qin Xiaomin carried the child and quietly got into the car.
Li Yong started the car and the two of them walked towards the Qin family’s house.
There was no one on the road. The cicadas on the tree were chirping, and Li Yong was focused on looking ahead.
“It’s been hard on you all these years.” Qin Xiaomin suddenly whispered.
Their family looked glamorous on the outside and seemed to be rich, but in fact, they were not.
His father could be considered a leader, but he only earned so much money every month.
Working in such a unit had many restrictions. There was no way to do other businesses to earn money.
Therefore, their family only had an empty shell..
