Chapter 1246: Wei Minsheng’s child?
Family compound, Lin family.
Ding-ling-ling, a series of urgent telephone rings rang in the living room. Wang Xiuqin hurried out of the bathroom and ran over to answer the phone.
"Hello... oh, okay, okay, I know him, yes... please ask him to wait for a moment, I'll come out to pick him up... Okay, thank you very much!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiuqin hurried to the door, took down the coat hanging at the door, put it on, wrapped her scarf around her neck, changed her shoes and prepared to go out.
Wei Lan hurried out of the kitchen and saw her mother-in-law was about to go out. She asked in confusion, "Mom, who's calling?"
"The security guard said Xiangnan's father is here!" Wang Xiuqin said this and walked to the door. She then walked into the house and saw Wei Lan who was still in a daze. She reminded her, "Lanlan, quickly boil a pot of water and find your father's West Lake Longjing tea!"
"Okay, Mom got it!" Wei Lan nodded quickly. She not only filled the kettle with water and boiled it on the stove, but also hurried back to the living room to put the melon seeds, peanuts and dried dates for the guests in a fruit box, and walked to the window to look outside.
Here, Wang Xiuqin hurriedly ran to the gate of the family compound and arrived there in five or six minutes. She saw Li Fugui squatting next to his bicycle at a glance, so she quickly went out of the compound and went over to say hello.
"It's Fugui who's here!"
Li Fugui stood up quickly and smiled innocently, "Sister Xiuqin!"
The guard didn't reveal what Li Fugui was doing on the phone, but Wang Xiuqin was a little confused when she saw the bicycle was loaded with things on the handlebars and back seat. However, she still said enthusiastically, "Fugui, come sit at my house, come sit at my house!"
Everyone has a tacit understanding. Generally speaking, if someone has something to say, they will definitely say it right at the door after hearing this.
After all, the men are all working outside and there are only women at home.
She was too embarrassed to ask him directly what was the matter after greeting him like this.
Although Li Fugui was honest and stubborn, he was very sensible in his conduct and immediately said in front of the guard:
"Sister Xiuqin, Qiuju made some Hongshan-style bacon and Lao Li's pickles at home. Brother Jianzhou loved them, so Qiuju made a lot of them. She asked me to deliver them before the Chinese New Year! Qiuju also asked me to come and solemnly invite you to spend the New Year with us! These things are too heavy. I'll help you deliver them to your home, and then I'll leave!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiuqin was deeply moved.
"Fugui, look at you. Qiuju has already called to inform us about going to the New Year's Eve dinner, and you even came to inform us! You are really careful! You just came and brought so many things!"
She sighed, knowing that the Li family had always been thinking about one of the few gatherings throughout the year, and doing this showed how much they valued their family.
Everything he made was made with the sincere intention of letting the Lin family have a taste of it.
This not only takes into account the feelings of the Lin family, but also their taste buds.
She truly admired Zhu Qiuju's meticulousness and thoroughness in doing things.
"It's snowing so heavily recently. It's not easy to come here. Just sit down and drink some tea to warm yourself up! Lanlan is at home too! How can you just leave after putting your things away!" Wang Xiuqin complained to him, then smiled and asked the guard, "Comrade, has he signed?"
"It's signed, it's signed!" the young comrade replied.
"Okay, Fugui, let's go in!" Wang Xiuqin turned around and greeted him.
When some things are said in front of others, both parties will have a tacit understanding in their hearts and feel a lot more at ease.
"Are you going to spend the New Year in Yanjing this year, or go back to Hongshan?"
On the way, Wang Xiuqin deliberately walked on the other side of the bicycle and asked with a smile.
"The old man wants to go back to Hongshan. We think so too. Our whole family is in our hometown!" Li Fugui answered honestly.
"That's true. We have to celebrate the New Year in our hometown! It's a great atmosphere!" Wang Xiuqin pursed her lips. She had already planned to ask her family to prepare some gifts for the Li family.
"Uncle Li!"
The two were chatting when Wei Lan came out from home from afar.
"It's Wei Lan! Hello!" Li Fugui greeted.
"Please be careful, the entrance to the yard is a bit slippery! There's too much rain and snow this year!" Wei Lan helped to prop up the bicycle, while reminding Li Fugui.
"Yes, I live in the south, and I have never seen such heavy snow as in Yanjing in my life!" Li Fugui responded, put down five pounds of bacon from the handlebars, and went to get the jar of pickles tied in the net bag at the back.
"Let's go, let's go! Please come into the house!" Wang Xiuqin shouted hurriedly.
Li Fugui had no choice but to let the two of them go in.
The last time I came to the Lin family was last year after the New Year when we came to Yanjing and had dinner together with our two families.
At that time, Li Xiangnan was fighting in Jiaozhi, and everyone was in no mood, so they ate quickly and ended the meal.
This time, he felt much more at ease, and he took a closer look at the Lin family's layout.
Although the house is quite big, the details are as simple as those of Li's house.
Lin Jianzhou and Wang Xiuqin, the old relatives, are actually simple and frugal.
Even though he holds such a high position, he can still stick to his original intention and maintain his self-identity.
Li Fugui secretly admired him in his heart.
"Have some tea!" Wei Lan held the teacup and placed it on the coffee table, inviting him to sit down.
"Oh, thank you!" Li Fugui handed her the bacon and put his hand away embarrassedly.
"Wipe your hands!" Wang Xiuqin put the pickle jar into the kitchen, went to the bathroom and brought out a brand new white towel and handed it to him, "Otherwise, it will be very slippery when you drink tea!"
The bacon was strung with a straw rope and was indeed greasy to carry. Li Fugui thanked him gratefully, wiped his hands and then took a sip of the fragrant tea. His eyes lit up, realizing that the tea he was treated to was very expensive.
"You eat peanuts!" Wang Xiuqin pushed the fruit box over again. "I've told Jianzhou and the kids that no matter what we have to do on Little New Year's Day, we should postpone it. If we really can't postpone it, we must go visit after we're done with our work! It's not easy for our two families to get together! Eating New Year's Eve dinner together has a different meaning!"
Li Fugui immediately smiled and said, "Yes, we are a family!"
Wang Xiuqin nodded excitedly.
Only Li Fugui can say this, and she cannot say it.
"Fortunately, the Lin family can all be free to go over for the New Year's Eve dinner! Fugui, tell the old man that we will go over to wish him a happy new year that day, and everyone should go!"
"Okay! I'll make sure to tell you that!" Li Fugui took another sip of tea, then stood up and said with a smile, "Then I won't stay any longer! The old man asked me to go to Liulichang and see if there is any ivory!"
"Give my regards to the old man!" Wang Xiuqin stood up and didn't want to stay any longer.
"Stay, stay!"
Li Fugui smiled and waved, then walked out.
Inadvertently, my eyes fell on the colorful baby clothes hanging on the balcony, and I suddenly felt confused.
The Lin family has a new baby?
Whose?
Defend the people? Defend the country?
The other three girls didn’t hear about the marriage!
With doubts in his heart, he rode his bicycle and waved goodbye to Wang Xiuqin and Wei Lan.
Rumble.
Halfway to the family compound, a jeep stopped on the side of the road.
"Uncle! Why are you here?" Lin Weimin jumped out of the car and enthusiastically took out a cigarette and handed it over.
"I'm here to deliver something!"
Li Fugui, who had a good impression of Lin Weimin, took the cigarette and put it behind his ear, then smiled and reminded, "I'm leaving now, Weimin, remember to come for the New Year's Eve dinner in two days!"
"Uncle, you have to go!" Lin Weimin smiled.
At this time, a crack appeared in the car window, and Xiao Qing shouted from inside: "Uncle Li, why don't you sit for a while? We just came back from vaccinating the baby..."
"It's Xiao Qing! I'm going to buy some chess pieces for the old man, so I won't sit here any longer. We'll have another chance!" Li Fugui smiled, then realized that Wei Min had a child, so he patted his arm and said happily, "Congratulations!"
"Huh?" Lin Weimin was stunned, then he understood what he meant, "No, it's..."
"Wei Min, open the window so I can talk to Uncle Li..." Xiao Qing reminded in the car.
"Coming, coming..." Lin Weimin hurried over.
“No, no, no!” Li Fugui waved his hands quickly, “It’s very cold here, don’t let the baby get frozen, it’s not good to catch a cold in this weather! You guys go home quickly, I’m leaving, leaving!”
Xiao Qing is holding the baby. If she wants to get down, it would be a sin!
Li Fugui quickly waved his hand and shouted from across the bike, "Remember to come for dinner in two days!"
After saying that, he rode away on his bike.
"Uncle, please slow down!"
Lin Weimin's voice came from behind. Li Fugui answered loudly and rode all the way to the door. Looking back, he saw the boy still standing by the bike and waving at him. He sighed slightly, then pedaled his bike and gradually walked into the wind and snow...
