Chapter 198
The brother and sister talked about their recent policies, and they left until their parents and uncle came back from work and Li Dazhu greeted them.
"Auntie!" Xiaobao, who had grown some flesh, lit up when he saw Li Xiuhong, and looked behind Li Xiuhong, but he didn't see Li Xingxing's figure. His eyes darkened and his whole body was filled with a disappointed aura.
Li Xiuhong said with a funny look: "Auntie didn't come to school, but she has prepared a gift for you!"
Take a gyro from the basket and grab a handful of candy.
Xiaobao was overjoyed and said sweetly: "Thank you aunt, thank you aunt."
He took the candy in his own hands and went to the yard to sprint the tops.
When Old Man Li, Li Grandma, Thirteenth Grandpa and others saw Li Xiuhong, they first cared about Li Xingxing's academic performance, and then asked about Li Xiuhong's work situation, and ignored what Li Xiuhong brought.
Li Xiuhong didn't care. She knew very well how much her parents attached importance to education!
My parents once planned to send her to the city to go to girls' school, but during that time, there was a war and danger. I could only study and read with my parents and brother at home, but I was unable to get to campus.
Now that I learned that Li Xingxing was very serious in school, Old Man Li was very pleased, "Study well, let Xingxing study well, don't think about subsidizing the family. You can make more delicious food for her so that she won't be able to eat good food, and the energy of studying will be vented. There is no college student in our family. If Xingxing passes the exam, it will be really smoke from the ancestral grave."
He specially took out a piece of clay inkstone at the bottom of the box and asked his daughter to hand it over to his granddaughter.
"The old boss loves calligraphy. Xingxing is educated by him. I believe that the brush is well written. This inkstone was specially given to me by my old boss when he saw me being studious in his early years. I have treasured the things that the old boss used when he was a teenager for more than fifty years and I have never been willing to give it to your brother. Now it is perfect to pass it on to Xingxing."
Isn’t the old boss just his daughter’s grandfather?
Li Xiuhong accepted it without hesitation, "There is one more thing to bother parents!"
When Mrs. Li asked what was going on, she told her parents about Xia Mingxing’s conversation with Li Xingxing, “Mom, please help me find out the specific situation of the Xia family.”
"Xingxing is indeed at the age of being a kinship. I wanted to wait for you two to work and study to stabilize before talking about it, so as not to delay your youth, but I didn't expect Xingxing to find a partner for himself." Li Pozi smiled and said, "Cuihua's mother's house is from Huaihua Village. If you come to cook, I will ask her a rough question first, and let's talk about other things when you go to Songhua County."
Many grandchildren work in Songhua County, so they should be able to find out the details of the Xia family.
Mrs. Li thought for a while and grabbed a handful of candy to Cuihua's house. She was sitting in the yard supervising Sandan's wife to cook. Mrs. Li sat down next to her, "Cuihua, I'll ask you for some information, if you have time."
Cuihua saw the candy she handed over, hurriedly hugged her arms, "If you have time, what are you asking?"
"Is someone in Huaihua Village married to Songhua County? My mother-in-law's surname is Xia and gave birth to three sons. The eldest son is Xia Mingqi, the second son is Xia Mingming, and the younger son is Xia Mingxing." Li Grandma went straight to the point.
Cuihua said without thinking: "There is such a family with the surname Mao."
"What's going on in their family? Do you know about the Xia family?"
"How can the Xia family not know the future? The person you are talking about is Mao Xueying, who is a very capable person in our village. How can the village chief's daughter marry badly? My husband's family is from a county town and a big landlord. But he is rich, but he is poor. Her husband is not in good health. Today I have a cold, tomorrow I cough and can't work. Everyone calls him sick. Mao Xueying is very determined and gave birth to three sons in a row. She is so happy that her parents-in-law praises everyone. She has made her the head of the family very early and has a very good relationship with her in-laws."
Mrs. Li frowned: "Big Landlord?"
Cuihua nodded and said, "I used to be a big landlord. Mao Xueying and his wife were not well-managed. They ruined their family business more than ten years ago. They were poor peasants in terms of ingredients, which were better than us. The eldest son of the Xia family joined the army, and I don't know what the second son does. I heard that the younger son is a chef, went abroad, went to Beijing, and served as a state banquet. Now he is a chef at the No. 1 Hotel in Wutong City."
