Chapter 209 Going home to visit relatives

Li Wen did not tell his colleagues about what happened today. After all, the formalities had not been completed yet. Only by completing the formalities with the village could he truly become a formal employee.

However, Li Wen is still very happy. First, he has been in this era for several years and finally fulfilled his original third grandfather's wish and became a formal worker.

The second reason is that I can go home and have a look. I came out rashly and did not go home to inform my family.

I have been away for a few months, and to be honest, Li Wen really misses his family and friends in his hometown.

Before getting off work in the afternoon, Li Wen and Xie Fangfang asked for leave, explained the reasons, and ran away in embarrassment amidst the calls of guests.

After running out of the unit, Li Wen went directly to Chang'an Restaurant, where he planned to bring some dishes to Sun Lian Winner.

In the past few months, Sun Lianying and his wife had taken great care of Li Wen. Even the cotton shoes on Li Wen's feet were made by Zhang Xiufang.

Li Wen didn't bring more, for fear of being late, so he ordered two meat dishes. The total cost was less than 1.3 yuan, and of course there was also a pound of meat coupons.

After walking out of the restaurant, Li Wen put the meat and vegetables into the space. Because the weather was too cold, Li Wen jogged all the way to Sun Lian Winner.

Arriving at the door of Sun Lian Winner, Li Wen looked around and took out a warm lunch box from the space.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Xiao Wen! Come in quickly, I'm telling your aunt about you." Sun Lianying saw it was Li Wen and quickly opened the door.

"Aren't you going home tomorrow? I came to see you and my aunt today. I brought two dishes to eat together tonight."

Li Wen was not polite and walked in with a smile.

"Xiufang, Xiaowen is here!" Sun Lianying shouted toward the back room.

"Xiaowen is here! You haven't been here for a week. Come in and sit down quickly. It's warm on the kang." Zhang Xiufang walked out of the room.

Li Wen smiled and said hello, opened the felt curtain and walked in.

"Hello, brother Xiaowen!"

Jian Dang and Ai Dang were doing homework around the kang table, while the little girl Sun Xiaofang was reading a comic book. When they saw Li Wen come in, the faces of the few little people showed surprise.

It's no wonder that several children like Li Wen. The age difference is not particularly big, and Li Wen is their idol. He often brings delicious food and gives pocket money.

I wonder which child wouldn’t like such a big brother? Anyway, the author likes it.

"Xiaowen, please go sit on the kang. I am giving homework instructions to the Patriot Party. This child did not study hard at school all day. He was naughty and mischievous and his homework was a mess." Zhang Xiufang walked in and said with a smile.

Li Wen didn't know how to answer it! In the end, he could only advise Zhang Xiufang to be a party lover and take her time.

"Xiufang, hurry up and cook. Xiaowen also brought two dishes. Let's heat them up together." Sun Lianying walked in and said.

"Okay, you guys talk first, and I'll go cook." Zhang Xiufang stood up with a smile.

"Auntie, just make some batter porridge. Drink this at night to make your stomach feel better." Li Wen was afraid that Zhang Xiufang would make another troublesome meal, so he said hurriedly.

"Okay, let's make some porridge for dinner tonight. I also made some pickles some time ago. I'll try them today." Zhang Xiufang responded and walked out of the room with a smile.

Li Wen liked making porridge with batter in both his previous life and his original life. In his previous life, he liked it because it nourished his stomach; in this life, he liked it because porridge with batter was a rare delicacy.

Dinner is cooked in the room. In winter, most households in the city with better conditions have coal heating, and the stove set up in Sun Lian Yingli can be used for cooking.

"You kid, your hands are too big. It seems I have to find a wife to control you. Buying braised pork for dinner is too luxurious."

At the dinner table, Sun Lianying looked at two boxes full of braised pork and braised chicken nuggets, and scolded Li Wen.

"Uncle, just eat it!"

"I'm at the age when I'm growing tall, so I have to eat something good. Xiaofang, do you think I'm a party lover?"

Li Wen picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into Xiaofang's bowl and said with a smile.

After dinner, Li Wen refused Li Sun's two attempts to stay and left in a hurry.

Less than two minutes after returning home, Li Hongbin knocked on the door.

"Brother, I collected some good things today. I heard you were back, so I brought them to you quickly." Li Hongbin smiled and took out a towel from his arms.

Opening the towel, there were several gold ingots and a sapphire wrapped inside.

Li Wen took the thing, looked at it, and pinched the gold ingot with his fingernails. There was a seal, so the thing should be fine.

"The things are good! How much did these cost in total?" Li Wen asked as he put the things on the table.

"There are 8 taels of gold in total, and they cost 328 yuan. The price of gems is relatively high, and the owner will only sell them after paying 100 yuan." Li Hongbin said sheepishly.

Li Hongbin actually doesn't know much about gems, but he has heard people say that gems are very precious.

Today's gold and gems were all collected by Li Hongbin from a dilapidated noble family. He was a little uneasy to receive a gem the size of a corn kernel for 100 yuan.

Although Li Wen came from later generations, he didn't understand gems. This sapphire was not small, almost as big as a corn kernel, and he could fully bear the risk of several hundred yuan.

"It's okay, gems are just so big. If they were as big as eggs, we wouldn't dare to buy them," Li Wen said with a smile.

Li Wen usually gave Li Hongbin and his two brothers 300 yuan as funds for the acquisition. They would advance the remaining part first and pay it back when they got back.

Li Wen counted fifty big black ten cards from his bag and handed them to Li Hongbin. He also took out a ten-dollar note and gave it to Li Hongbin as payment for this time.

The remuneration of the Li Hongbin brothers was agreed upon and calculated based on one-twenty-fifth of the purchase price, which was a generous reward.

In the past month or so, brothers Li Hongbin alone have purchased more than 100 taels of gold for him, which is really a lot.

"Brother, I have to go home in the next few days. You and Brother Jun should also rest for a few days and wait until I come back." Li Wen said with a smile.

"Okay, I understand."

Li Hongbin is more practical, steady and talks less, which Li Wen appreciates very much.

After seeing off Li Hongbin, Li Wen returned directly to the warehouse space. He was going to braise the meat tonight and take it home tomorrow.

There is not much pork left in the constant warehouse, but there are still four or five pairs left in the water. These are the leftovers from Li Wen's pork sales for more than a month.

Li Wen cleaned two pairs of pigs and marinated the remaining two pig heads and four pairs of elbows.

Li Wen now has a large iron pot over one meter in the kitchen, which he paid a lot of money to have made to order.

Some time ago, I learned how to make lard candy from a colleague in the south. Li Wen also specially made more than 20 kilograms of it. The stuff was very good. Li Wen planned to take five kilograms back with him.

This stuff is much better than fruit candies and white rabbits. It’s delicious, nutritious, and not eye-catching. It’s no problem even visiting relatives and entertaining guests.

Letting the meat marinate first, Li Wen got into the small world. Now when Li Wen returns to the warehouse space, he goes to the small world except for sleeping. The warehouse space is too quiet and he is not used to it.

After several months of development, the small world is now prosperous, and time and land have also come to a rest in the past few days.

After a period of frequent use, Little World has warned that the land needs to be cultivated ten times and a hundred times for several months to recover.

Li Wen didn't care. He just rested and recuperated, and he couldn't pluck the wool too hard. Anyway, the small world was now full of crops and orchards.

The fruit trees in the small world have all been brought to maturity by Li Wen. In the past few days, flowers have been blooming everywhere in the Central Mountains, and in a few months Li Wen will harvest countless fruits.

The food crops planted have been growing for almost two months. Li Wen will achieve complete food freedom after the year.

On the pasture, after several months of breeding, the number of chickens and ducks has reached tens of thousands. Li Wen did not continue to hatch eggs, there were too many and there was no place to digest them.

As for the rabbits, Li Wen did not control them for the time being. After all, more than 300 female rabbits could not reproduce too much in more than a month. It would not be too late to control them when there are tens of thousands. Anyway, the small world can be controlled.

Only in terms of large livestock, Li Wen has a headache. There are not many fat pigs now, and there is no way to speed up the breeding of livestock.

In the past month or so, Li Wen has collected more than 20 piglets through the black market, but including the original ones, there are only more than 60 piglets.

At a glance, the pig pens that are several acres of land are filled with small piglets weighing forty or fifty kilograms, and there are very few large pigs.

Now there are only 12 fat pigs left in the pig pen, and the remaining three sows and one big boar Li Wen are kept to continue raising piglets.

After nearly a year of careful raising and eating cornstarch and sweet potatoes every day, these big black pigs have lived up to Li Wen’s kindness in raising them, and they all weigh more than 180 kilograms.

There is still more than a month before the end of the year, and Li Wen plans to raise another one, leaving two for the end of the year, and slaughtering the rest for the New Year.

As for the other three or two big cats and kittens, calves, donkeys and goats, I didn’t count them. It gave me a headache to look at them, and the grass was so tall that they almost drowned the sheep.

After collecting the eggs from Little World, Li Wen returned to the warehouse, washed hundreds of eggs, and put them into the pot to marinate them.

When the time comes, take these braised meat and eggs back together. They won’t go bad in the winter anyway, and they can be cooked and warmed without any smell coming out.

After the meat was marinated, Li Wen turned off the heat and let the meat simmer, then went back to his room to sleep.

After a night of silence, Li Wen got up in the morning and after dinner, took out the braised meat and eggs, dried them, then wrapped them and put them in a sack.

He also put the gifts, candies, etc. that he had prepared in advance for his family into sacks.

In the end, good guy, a whole big sack was filled directly, and there were still a lot of things left. Li Wen had to pick and choose some important things and put them into his satchel.

"go home!"
