At home, Dad Li was not there, and Song Xiaohui was sleeping in the house opposite.

Before they came back, Li Yuan and Li Qing had already cleaned the two houses inside and out. They could just live in them when they came back.

After putting the child on the bed where the old man and the old lady slept, Li Tang walked to the backyard. As soon as he came out, he saw the empty chicken cage in the corner of the yard.

This chicken coop was already thirty years old in his mind, and he didn’t know how many chickens had been raised in it. This chicken coop was also one of his and his brother and sister’s favorite things when they were children.

After thirty years, this cage was finally empty. For the first time, there were no chickens in it. When he saw it, he felt a little sad for no reason.

Li Tang walked to the edge of the cage and squatted down, just looking at the empty chicken coop.

"What are you doing? Do you want to eat chicken again?"

Li Ma came out of the house and happened to see this scene and asked funnyly.

"No, I just want it to be free for the first time in the past thirty years since my dad finished it, right?"

"Isn't that right? In the end, all three chickens went into your wife's belly."

"It's okay to be eaten by your grandson!"

"You're right to say that. Hey, third child..."

"What's wrong, Mom?"

"Are you two still planning to have children?"

"We haven't taken any measures anyway. If we definitely do, whether we will be fined or punished in the future, I will accept it."

"As long as you two have this intention." Li Ma nodded approvingly.

In the minds of the older generation, there has always been the idea that having more children will lead to happiness. Besides, their family cannot afford to support them. Of course, they hope that Lao Li's family can flourish.

In fact, during the annual spring meeting, Li Tang also proposed two motions to lift restrictions. However, it was difficult for people at this time to imagine that a population inversion would occur in just thirty years.

The reason is that the cost is too high, the cost of getting married is high, and the cost of having and raising children is even higher.

If you can't even go on, how can you think about having children and raising them?

High housing prices and school district housing policies have pushed up many living costs.

Two thousand years later, especially after 2008, the land economy and real estate have boosted the gross domestic product of all cities in the country, making the country's economic aggregate move forward by a big step every year, which makes foreigners tremble with fear.

There is no way, the real estate industry and the construction industry have really driven too many upstream and downstream industries.

"Mom, why did you think of letting us continue having children again today?"

"Hey, I've been listening to your Aunt Fang, Aunt Liu and the others talking about it these past two days. Hey... who came into the house?"

Just as they were talking, the mother and son heard the noise coming from the house at the same time, turned around and walked back into the house. The child was still sleeping inside.

"Hey, you two won't be working this afternoon?"

The visitors are Li Yuan and Song Xiaoli.

"Mom, I have a day off tomorrow. I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so we will come back and have a look. When did you come back, third child?"

"I just came back a while ago, less than half an hour ago."

"Lao San, when will your son sleep?"

After Song Xiaoli came in, she walked directly to the bed and looked at Xiao Sanyue sleeping on the bed, her heart and eyes full of love.

"I just went to bed too."

As soon as she fell asleep after hearing this, Song Xiaoli, who was about to tease the child, immediately retracted her hand. This would be troublesome if she woke up and started crying.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, you won't cry even if you wake him up."

"Forget it, let's wait until he wakes up on his own. Where is Huihui?"

"He's sleeping across the door."

"I went over and asked her to go. Why am I too lazy to give birth to a child for her?"

Seeing Song Xiaoli going out of the backyard, Li Yuan also stepped forward and pulled his brother towards the backyard.

"What are you doing, brother? Do you want to go over there too?"

"Go, what are you talking about?" Li Yuan raised his hand and slapped his brother on the head.

Then he took out a cigarette, fired one and lit it.

"I want you to give me some advice."

"what's up?"

"Things about Shuyuan."

"Shu Yuan? What happened to him?"

"It's about him and the little girl Ge Shuqing. Their winter vacation starts on December 22nd and lasts for three weeks. He plans to buy a plane ticket and fly directly to Chengdu. The girl will go back from here and pick him up at the airport. .”

"Yeah" Li Tang nodded, this was already agreed upon.

"Isn't this already agreed? What's going on? Do you and my sister-in-law have any other ideas?"

"Indeed, your sister-in-law and I thought that by going over to meet the girl's family this time, if possible, it would be best to settle their affairs. Anyway, these two children have already made a private decision for their lives. "

Li Yuan was a little helpless, although he and Song Xiaoli were very satisfied with Ge Shuqing, both in terms of appearance and family background, and they would definitely not do anything to break up the couple.

but……

The two of them have decided to spend their lives privately, which will inevitably make parents feel a little annoyed.

After hearing what his eldest brother said, Li Tang took a puff of cigarette and squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "Okay, you can come over, it seems that our family pays more attention to it. After all, his daughter will marry into our family in the future. "

"Lao San, what I mean is..."

"You want me to come with you?"

Before the eldest brother could finish speaking, Li Tang spoke first.

Seeing that his brother had guessed what he wanted to say, Li Yuan smiled.

He wanted Li Tang to go with him, which was actually to support him.

The Ge family is not an ordinary family. The old man is one of the first batch of school officers to be awarded the title. He is already very powerful. At least this means that he has participated in the battle four or five years ago.

Because there were regulations at the time that those with a school rank must have joined the army four or five years ago and fought in the small life.

Although Ge Shuqing's parents were civilians in the army, they were probably not ordinary, and they had an uncle who was a division commander.

When Li Yuan and Song Xiaoli went over, they still felt a little unsure, so they thought of pulling Li Tang over. In this case, no matter who was on the other side, they would not be afraid.

"Theoretically, it's not impossible, but brother, it's the end of the year, do you think I can leave?"

"Uh..." That's right. They only counted their time, but they forgot that the end of the year might be Li Tang's busiest time.

Seeing a trace of disappointment flash in his brother's eyes, he continued: "Brother, our father's identity, father-in-law's identity, no matter who he is over there, you don't need to worry about that."

"That's what I said, but after all, I'm going to someone else's territory."

"Then why don't you just invite our dad to come in? With his help, what kind of situation can't be solved?"

"Uh... Third child, do you think our dad will go?"

"Brother, are you mistaken? Shuyuan is the eldest son and grandson of our old Li family. His marriage is the top priority of our family. Why won't our father agree?"

"That's right, I'll go too when the time comes!"

The person who spoke was Song Xiaohui. Her sister had gone into the house. She could not sleep peacefully anymore and could only get up reluctantly.

No, as soon as she walked to the backyard, she heard what her brother-in-law was saying to her man, and she immediately picked up the conversation.

"Ah? What will the child do if you come with us?"

"Take... uh... forget it, it will be winter then, don't let my son get out of the cold."

Just when she was about to say that she would take her with her, Song Xiaohui shook her head again. If she wanted to take her children on a trip in the winter, her family would not agree to it.

At the very least, Li Tang couldn't agree. Immediately, when Xiao Sanyue is half a year old, he will start giving the little guy a medicated bath every other day for three months.

After three months, wash with medicine every seven days for another three months.

In other words, starting from November 1st, he will not be able to leave his child too far for the next six months, especially the first three months.

This medicinal bath is mainly to improve the children's physical fitness, and every child in their family has enjoyed it.

Even though he was only seventeen years old when Shuyuan Shutong came to Shuyuan, even his master didn't know where he got the recipe. However, after some dialectics, he confirmed that it was a rare good recipe and agreed. I gave Li Tang to my nephew and niece.

This is why their children rarely get sick.

As for other relatives and friends, he will prescribe good prescriptions. If the parents can persist, then your children will benefit from it. If they cannot persist, there is nothing they can do.

There are also some who, although he will not wash their children, will remind them every day and force them to wash their children, such as Ma Pingan and Tian Jun.

"Listen to Li Tang later and ask our father and mother to accompany you there. Our father's identity is definitely enough."

"What is absolutely enough?"

Mother Li in the room heard the voice and asked blankly through the door of the house.

"Mom, when I leave for Chengdu at the end of the year, you and my dad will accompany me and Lili there."

"Okay, your dad said the other day that he would discuss it with you. Since we are going, our family will go there in a formal manner and follow all the etiquette. Then ask Ge Yatou later to see what they have to say. No." Li Ma opened the back door a crack and stuck her head out.

"You asked her to ask about Yu Blind. How many young people in her group still care about etiquette? The others didn't say anything, so she asked Shutong if there was anything special about getting engaged here. She definitely didn't know. "

When the old lady wanted to ask Ge Shuqing what their specialties were, Li Tang hurriedly stopped her.

"What I mean is that we don't have to ask. Just prepare it according to the custom here. It's just that we have more things to bring to the door. I think their family should understand."

The family gathered together to chat, and the yard became even more lively after Xiao Sanyue woke up.

"Husband" Suddenly Song Xiaohui came to her man's side mysteriously.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you know who lives on the second floor of our house?"

"I know, Donghu Zhou Yongkui and Xue Guizhi are about the same age as me. We were classmates before."

"What about Xihu?"

"Xihu is Tian Fanggui and Zhang Pinjie. Tian Fanggui and Junzi are distant relatives. What's wrong? Why do you ask?"

"Now both Todo and Nishido are divorced, and then they marry each other."

"Pfft...what?"

At first, the two of them were muttering in a low voice, and no one else noticed. Now, Li Tang suddenly became so excited that it was hard not to stop people from looking over.

Even Xiao Sanyue, who was being held by his aunt, looked at his father blankly, wondering why he was like that.

"What's wrong, Third Brother?"

"Brother, Huihui told me..." He pointed to the second floor.

"Oh, you're talking about these two families. Haha, who knows what they think about. They live across the street and come here for a while. They just let others watch the joke in one day. Let me tell you, we are all here on the second floor. It’s almost like a fertilizer factory.”

As soon as Li Ma heard that it was on the second floor, she was even reluctant to say anything for fear of dirtying her mouth.

They only found out after they came back yesterday.

Although marriage is free, this freedom is too much, and it feels a bit contrary to morality.

In recent years, due to the influence of foreign ideas, divorce has gradually become less difficult to talk about.

In addition, now there is no need for the employer to issue a letter of introduction. You can just go to the Civil Affairs Bureau or the court yourself, which is much more convenient than before. After all, there is no need for someone from the employer to persuade you.

In the past, if a letter of introduction was required, it would be issued by the work unit if there was one. If not, it would be issued by the neighborhood committee. No matter who wrote it, they would advise.

Is it useful? Definitely, a lot of impulsive divorces have been avoided.

Things are different now. Everything is convenient. You no longer need a letter of introduction to get married or divorced. But that’s why it feels like marriage has turned into a fast food culture.

Slowly as time goes by, people have no sense of awe at all about marriage, which is supposed to be a very sacred thing. The wedding vows are like farts.

Then with the rise of mobile phones, the distance between people suddenly disappeared. This should have been a good thing, but...

The saying that people can only love one person in their lifetime seems to have become a joke.

While shouting that you can't meet the right person and all you meet are scumbags (scumbags), you have to go to bars and dance halls to find them.

It's true that there can't be all bad people here, but under the feasting and feasting, that heart that has gone wild, how do you know that it will definitely be taken back for you.

"Brother, won't Zhou Yongkui's father, Uncle Zhou, say anything? Just let him do this."

"What's the use of saying it? Anyway, what made Uncle Zhou angry was that he went to the factory broadcast station and announced to the whole factory that he and Zhou Yongkui had severed the father-son relationship."

Li Tang grinned after hearing this.

"Don't you find it uncomfortable for them? You encounter them every day when you go in and out." Song Xiaohui looked at her brother-in-law and asked.

"Haha, I don't know if they are uncomfortable or not. Anyway, I think the relationship between the two families seems to be quite good. Sometimes they even walk together to and from get off work."

Damn...talent! This is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear.

The most important thing is that these weirdos met together.

"Ah...ah..."

Xiao Sanyue, who was sitting in Song Xiaoli's arms, suddenly squatted down twice, and then stretched out his hands towards his mother, wanting to be hugged.

This is because he is hungry. Under normal circumstances, except for Li Tang, he will basically not ask anyone for a hug.

Seeing her son's outstretched hands, Song Xiaohui stood up and hugged him over. Then Xiao Sanyue fell into her arms, and her head began to arch in her arms.

"Okay, okay, mom knows, don't worry, let's go inside."

"Come on, I'll go in with you."

"Lao San, what do you think our factory will look like in the future?"

The two daughters-in-law went into the house, and Li Ma also went in. Only brothers Li Tang and Li Yuan were left outside.

"It will get better and better."

"Are you saying that after our factory is under local management, it will be better than before it was under the ministry?"

"The province has been rich in the past few years. You haven't seen many major projects being started at the same time. Once our factory is assigned to the local government, we can immediately file a report and apply for the construction of the large-granule urea production line with an annual output of 400,000 tons."

Because they have been talking about handing over the fertilizer plant to local management for the past two years, the factory has been unable to get approval for launching a new production line.

It also requires a lot of money. This production line is not just a production line. It is a project, including main engineering, auxiliary engineering, public engineering, storage and transportation engineering, and environmental protection engineering.

The production line that needs to be purchased is only a small link in the main project.

After a rough calculation, the entire project requires no less than 400 million yuan, because a lot of equipment needs to be purchased from abroad.

Just like that production line, there are also some equipment needed for environmental protection projects, which all need to be imported from abroad.

Our country currently doesn't pay much attention to environmental protection, but only focuses on economic development.

The fertilizer factory cannot pay attention to environmental protection. If it does not pay attention to environmental protection, it will be impossible to live around the factory area. The odor will make people faint.

The fertilizer factory has always been willing to spend money on environmental protection, which actually shows that when everything is closely related to him and will affect his interests, all leaders are environmental pioneers.

The reason why Li Tang knew so clearly was because Qiao Mu's father asked him for help before, so he knew it very well.

Qiao Mu's father came to him because he wanted to get a loan from the bank to the fertilizer factory through the guarantee of Qinshan Pharmaceutical.

The fertilizer factory could borrow money on its own, but firstly, it couldn't borrow that much, and secondly, it couldn't lend for that long, so it had to ask Qinshan Pharmaceutical to help.

Li Tang didn't care. He knew that at least the fertilizer factory would still be alive and well in thirty years, so he agreed to be the guarantee.

But something unexpected happened. We had just agreed, and when Dad Qiao returned to the factory, he started to ask the finance department to go to the bank to go through the process. With an order from above, personnel rights, and other financial rights except normal production expenses and salary payment were temporarily suspended. All frozen.

Ugh, nothing can be done now.

People at the fertilizer factory still have doubts about the fact that the factory will be under local management. They are worried about whether the welfare benefits will get worse in the future, and they are worried about whether the factory will be like the synthetic pharmaceutical factory, where they can't even pay wages.

After all, both of their factories belong to the chemical industry department, and now they have to belong to the local government at the same time.

However, the fertilizer factory is willing to take it, but the synthetic drug factory thinks it is a burden and does not want to accept it.

"You know more than me, the director of the technical department!"

"Hey, Uncle Qiao asked me to help guarantee the loan before, so he must make it clear to me.

By the way, brother, after our factory comes under local management this time, there will definitely be a big personnel change. How about it? Do you want to make a move? "

Li Yuan was born in 1947, and he is already forty-seven this year. If he doesn't seize the time to take action, he will have no age advantage in the future.

Either he gets promoted in the factory, or he quits the factory, it all depends on what he thinks.

When he heard his brother's question, he didn't show any pretense, nodded and said: "Then leave it to you. Your sister-in-law and I have been working in the factory for more than 20 years, and we have never thought about jumping out from here. Now at home I don’t have enough money to spend, I just want to see if our factory can get better and better.”

Li Tang reached out and patted his brother on the shoulder. Li Yuan had a much deeper affection for this place. When the construction here first started, he helped move the bricks.

"Don't worry, brother, our factory will definitely get better and better."

"I'd like to lend you some good advice! Sanzi, when you go back to the provincial capital, help Tongtong and keep an eye out for any suitable boys."

He almost made Li Tang fall to the ground with a sudden move. He was stunned for a long time before following his elder brother's thoughts and turned the corner.

"Brother, are you worried that our Tongtong family won't be able to marry?"

"How is that possible?" Li Yuan shook his head very simply: "Based on my daughter's appearance, education, and family background, I never worried that she would not be able to get married. I was worried that she would meet someone who was not her husband.

You should know very well that Tongtong has been obsessed with you since she was a child, and she wants to look like you when looking for a partner. But if she really meets someone as young and mature as you, I guess our Tongtong will be eaten by others. Not even the bones are left.

The children in our family have been very well protected since childhood and rarely see the evil side of the world. "

"Haha, brother, you underestimate your daughter. Why I asked Tongtong to study law is because I want her to see more about the destruction of human nature under the bottom line of the law. When it comes to seeing evil, who can have as much knowledge as the public prosecutor and the law.

But what you said is correct. One code equals another. She should be taught how to tell whether others are sincere to her. Don’t worry, brother, with me here, our Tongtong will definitely find a good in-law in the future. "

……

At around five o'clock, Li's mother came out to prepare meals, and Li Qing also came back with Jianing, who had already finished school.

Four women were busy in the kitchen. Zhang Jianing sat on the sofa and blocked his brother in, playing with him here. The two siblings, one ten years old and one less than half a year old, were playing quite well, and they passed by each other from time to time. The sound of coming, and the giggles of Little Sanyue.

The dinner was very sumptuous. Since the National Day last year, Li’s parents had gone to the provincial capital to take care of Song Xiaohui. For a whole year, their family had never had a meal together in this room.

Seeing the undisguised happy smiles on the faces of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Song Xiaohui's heart moved slightly.

After eating and tidying up, as usual, the couple took a walk in the courtyard with their children.

"Husband, if you go back this time, you won't let your parents go back, right?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Hey, third child, are you back from vacation?"

"Oh, Brother Mincheng, I came back this afternoon. I just finished eating and went out to eat."

"Okay, let's go. If you have nothing to do, come and sit at home."

"okay!"

It's like this when walking around the family courtyard. You can't walk more than two steps before someone says hello. You can't walk more than a few steps before someone says hello. Some people just say hello and then go their separate ways. Some people even pull you to chat for a long time before coming out. It's been more than half an hour, and the two of them haven't even gone 500 meters.

After greeting an acquaintance again, Li Tang turned his head and looked at his wife and asked, "Did you just tell our parents not to come?"
