Chapter 208 The top scholar returns to the village!

Lijia Village.

Because they had to prepare wine for the ancestral hall banquet, all the women in the village came to the Li family to help.

Zhu Qiuju became the "general manager" in charge of the kitchen, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

Tong Yu also left home in the morning and rode her bike back to Li's house. She was now making dumplings with her two sisters-in-law.

The so-called dumplings for welcoming the bride and noodles for farewell.

Knowing that Li Xiangnan loves to eat dumplings, three sisters-in-law are like three mothers, so they are extremely concerned about him.

The rest of the work including cooking, helping in the kitchen, and setting up tables, chairs and benches had already been arranged.

"Qiuju, why aren't you talking much today? Nannan is almost back!"

Tong Yu wiped the flour off his face and joked with his sister-in-law.

Ji Qingfang glanced at her sister-in-law and said happily, "She's still not happy! She probably didn't sleep last night!

So many people have come these past two days that my sister-in-law has almost finished saying everything she has ever said in her life. Her throat is smoking!"

"That's true! Qiuju, you must be so happy, right?" Tong Yu wrapped a dumpling and placed it on the plate.

Zhu Qiuju smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you can tease me as much as you want. When Chaodong is admitted to university, hey, don't come back to the village. If you go back to the village, I will be next to your ear and chirp like a cicada!"

"Hahaha!" Second sister-in-law's mouth is always so sharp. Ji Qingfang laughed happily.

Tong Yu also laughed, but shook her head, "I'm afraid Chaodong won't give you a chance!"

Zhu Qiuju turned around and sighed, "Sister-in-law, think positively. People need to have energy to hold on and a goal to strive for, so that they can live a fulfilling life!"

"Qiu Ju! I love going home because you are talented and your words are pleasant to the ears! Many things make sense to me when I talk to you, and my heart is immediately cleared up!" Tong Yu admired her very much.

Ji Qingfang deeply agreed with this.

"Sister, sister, where are you?"

At this time, Li Dingxi ran in from outside and looked everywhere for her sister Li Yuanbei.

"Dingxi, is your sister lost again?" Tong Yu teased her.

"Auntie, have you seen my sister? I can't find her anywhere. My brother is going back to the village soon, and she doesn't want to see him..."

Tong Yu went over and knocked on her little head, "You are so silly, your elder brother is back, your elder sister is more concerned than anyone else, 80% of the time she has already been waiting for him at the village entrance! Go there and look for him, stay with grandpa and the others, don't get separated, there are too many people!"

"I got it! Then I'll go find her!" Li Dingxi pouted and ran away.

Tong Yu smiled, left the kitchen, glanced at the clock in the living room, came back, touched Zhu Qiuju with her arm, and said loudly: "Qiuju, let's go too, to meet Nannan!"

"..." Zhu Qiuju was stunned, and the movement of making dumplings in her hands suddenly slowed down.

Ji Qingfang smiled and pulled her to him, "Sister-in-law, let's go, let's go together. Nan Nan will feel so bad if she doesn't see her mother the first time she comes back! Let's go!"

Tong Yu also pulled her back, "Let's go. If we talk about the most proud person in the entire Lijia Village, it's you, Zhu Qiuju. Even if he is the top scholar in the country, he is still a piece of flesh that fell from your body, Zhu Qiuju! He is your son!"

Zhu Qiuju raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, choked with sobs and said with a smile: "Then let's go?"

"Go!" The two sisters-in-law each took one of her hands and went out, without taking off their aprons, and accompanied her all the way to the village entrance.

Wherever they went, the crowds of onlookers would automatically split a path apart for them.

Zhu Qiuju felt the greatest honor in her life.

It is true that mother and child are connected by heart.

As soon as I stood still, a loud car horn sounded on the mountain road.

"The top scholar is back in the village!"

The crowd suddenly exploded in noise.

Five jeeps stopped one after another on the narrow mountain road, and the dust that was splashed up fell on the stable carriages after a few seconds.

"Li Xiangnan is really back!"

Someone in the crowd shouted in surprise, bringing the excitement they had just felt when they heard the whistle to a climax again.

"Xiangnan is really impressive! Look, he came back in a car!"

"So enviable! It looks like the county leaders are really accompanying us. Oh my god, when can we be so glorious once in a while?"

"Our Nan Nan is the top scholar in the country. What an honor that is. I think sending him back with five cars is not enough!"

"Shh, Master Li is here, keep your voices down, don't make him unhappy!"

"Our village is so proud. Look, the county is giving us face!"

"That's for you, that's for the Li family, for Li Xiangnan!"

Amid the excitement of the crowd, the secretary had already brought Jiang Weifeng down.

The three Li Fuqiang brothers also stood together. Li Chaodong led the already excited Zhang Jingyang who was looking around and followed.

Comrades from the Education Bureau's Propaganda Department and the newspaper also gathered around.

The villagers were a sea of ​​people, and they slowly came over under the leadership of Li Dewen, the former clan leader.

In Lijia Village, although there are people with the surnames Wang, Zhang, Zhao and Wan, they are all outsiders. In fact, the only family that is truly native to the village is the Li family.

The Li family is truly a wealthy family in this village.

For many years, the Li family has always been the family with the best chance of becoming the patriarch in the village. They are highly respected in the village and everyone listens to them.

Li Dewen was the former patriarch of the Li family and the spokesperson for Lijia Village.

It's just that for some reasons he is no longer the patriarch, but his prestige always exists.

Li Dewen is Li Dequan's elder brother, but he is now over 70 years old, which is considered old in rural areas.

Li Dewen, Li Dewu, Li Dequan and Li Decai, these four are the pillars of the Li family. They are all here. There is no chance for the younger generations to act unruly. They all stand around and keep them company.

When Li Xiangnan returned to the village, he would definitely be accompanied by some important figures from the county. The fact that Li Dewen was able to come out and represent the Li family to greet him was a great honor to Li Dequan.

Everyone was eagerly waiting for Li Xiangnan to come out of the car.

"Nannan!" Li Fugui saw his elder brother give him a look, so he excitedly rushed to the car, opened the door, and whispered, "Grandpa is here to pick you up!"

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Li Xiangnan, who had been feeling excited, became excited again.

Taking a deep breath, he held the car door, closed his eyes silently, and got out of the car calmly.

"Nannan!"

The first voice to shout out was a long, old man's voice, from his grandfather Li Dequan.

Seeing that majestic yet somewhat old figure, Li Xiangnan's throat subconsciously tightened.

"grandfather!"

After saying this, he knelt down with his knees together and kowtowed according to the rules.

"Good, good, grandson, you've really made it!" Li Dequan came over to support him and said with a smile, "It's good to be back! Go see your great grandfather and the others!"

"Ok!"

Li Xiangnan nodded and looked to the side. An energetic old man was looking at him intently. He immediately shouted, "Grandpa!"

As he said this, he was going to kneel again.

Li Dewen reached out his hand to support him, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, you should kneel before your grandfather! It will be a while before it's our turn!"
