Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1455: Chapter 851: Welcoming the Group (Part 3)

"Isn’t that exactly what you wanted?" Nanny Li joked, "I heard from your brother that you’ve had a sweet mouth since you were little, so most things end up in your mouth."

"My brother is just talking nonsense, our mom and dad have always been biased and kept things for him. In our village, which elder doesn’t favor their sons over daughters? Even if I have a sweet mouth, I didn’t get more benefits than my brother."

Nanny Li chuckled, "One after another, how come they’re all competing? Earlier, Xiaxia was here competing with her brother."

"His mother, his aunt, come out quickly! Hurry out!" Father Li shouted while waving his hand inside.

"What’s the matter?" Nanny Li took a quick step out.

Li Xiaogu patted Little Zhuangzhuang and hurried out, showing a worried expression on her face, "Brother, what’s happening?"

Father Li pointed towards the alley entrance, "Two cars have arrived, and it seems like Kunzi got off the car."

"Why don’t you go take a look, just standing here yelling." Mrs. Li said as she sped up toward the alley entrance, "His father, didn’t we hear there were big cars in town?"

Father Li followed behind his wife, "I didn’t dare to go over, what if it’s officials coming down to inspect, rushing over might not be good."

"Indeed." Mrs. Li stopped, and Father Li couldn’t stop himself, stretched his arms, and hugged his wife, just as Li Zejun rounded the corner and saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Dad, Mom, hehe..."

"Hehe what hehe!" Father Li quickly released his wife, his face turned bright red, "This old woman, suddenly stopped walking without a word, really..."

"Can’t you use your long eyes to watch?" Mrs. Li’s face also turned as purple as an eggplant, "I thought you mentioned officials, so I didn’t dare go further, yet you blame me?"

"Aunt, you came early?" Li Zejun said while pointing at the people who followed, "This is Mayor Luo, my parents have met him; this is Mayor Luo’s sister, Luo Ye; this is Mayor Luo’s fiancée, Shangguan Yingnuo; and this is Mayor Luo’s... sister’s friend, Zhu Hongyu, this is Mayor Luo’s sister’s friend’s fiancé, Xue Fengqi." Introducing the latter two was truly a bit tangled.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, hello Aunt."

"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, hello Aunt."

"..."

Everyone hurriedly greeted, and the elderly of the Li family responded somewhat flustered.

"Ah, hello."

"Ah, hello."

"Dad, Mom, Aunt, when you called me, Mayor Luo was right next to me, worried I might get cold, he arranged for a car to bring me over."

Seeing the elderly in his family stretching their necks to peer at the cars outside with a bit of trepidation, Li Zejun simply explained.

"Such nice cars, this is the first time our town has seen them." Father Li rubbed his hands behind his back, then rubbed them again.

"Uncle Li likes cars too?" Luo Feng asked.

"Like them! Like them!" Father Li nodded, chuckled, "Back in the day, I drove a hand-held tractor very well, I haven’t touched a car in years."

"Then you better not touch one." Luo Feng said while steering him toward the courtyard, "Once the matchmaking is over, I’ll take you around, alright?"

"Good, good, that would be nice." Seeing neighbors sticking their heads out, looking at him with envy, Father Li’s eyebrows almost flew up in delight.

"Uncle Li, hasn’t the girl for the matchmaking arrived yet?" Ying Nuo asked curiously.

Father Li waved his hand, "Not yet, they said they’re coming by bicycle with her mom and aunt, guess it’ll take a little while."

"It’s freezing out there, let’s go pick them up." Zhu Hongyu said, looking at Li Xiaogu, "You’re the matchmaker, right? Then come with me, I can fit two bicycles in the back of my car." She was referring to Xue Fengqi’s military jeep.

"Hey! I’m the matchmaker." Li Xiaogu responded and turned around, running towards the alley entrance. This matchmaking business really boosted her reputation!!

Luo Feng nudged Li Zejun who was still standing there dumbfounded: "Brother Li, you should go too, you’re the main person involved. Even if others don’t go, you have to."

"This silly boy!" Father Li stomped his foot, "Why is he also so clueless?"

"Hehe..." Li Zejun chuckled awkwardly and quickly followed.

"Forget it, let’s all go together, shouldn’t have trouble fitting everyone." Luo Ye said as he turned around and waved his hand, "Uncle Li, Aunt Li, you wait at home, we’ll go help pick up the guests."

"Look at this, look at this..." Father Li said, not knowing what to do with his hands, "It’s not right when guests are coming, not right at all..."

"Oh right, Uncle Li, isn’t there some good news you haven’t been told yet?" Luo Feng patted Father Li, "Kunzi is promoted to Deputy Mayor, you’re now the father of a Deputy Mayor, Aunt is the mother of a Deputy Mayor." After he said this, he quickly pursued leaving Father Li and Mother Li stunned.

"My dear, is there something wrong with my ears?" Father Li said while pinching his partner.

"How should I know if there’s something wrong with your ears? Why pinch me?" Mother Li hadn’t quite recovered, so her response was a bit nonsensical.

"Mayor Luo said our Kunzi was promoted to Deputy Mayor, I didn’t hear wrongly, right?" Father Li said, pinching his own ear and then hissing.

"I think I heard that too, saying I became the mother of a Deputy Mayor." Mother Li smacked her lips, "Dear, if we both heard it, it should be true."

"Oh my!"

"Why are you pinching me?" Mother Li looked at her husband with a face full of grievance, "You pinched so hard, I feel like I’m going to be pinched to death."

"I was just testing if we are dreaming." Father Li breathed a long sigh, "I’ve basically confirmed, it’s not a dream, I also pinched myself, and it hurt quite a bit."

"Second brother, second sister, what are you doing standing outside in this cold weather? Who was that who came by just now?" The door next to them creaked open.

"Fifth Aunt, that was Kunzi and Mayor Luo, and also Mayor Luo’s friend who came by just now. Isn’t today Kunzi’s matchmaking day? They accompanied each other to pick up people."

Mother Li rattled on like beans from a bamboo tube, explaining it all clearly.

"Oh my, your Kunzi is really promising, unlike our Yuan Long. Hey, comparing people is infuriating indeed." The woman called Fifth Aunt exaggeratedly shook her head as she came out, "From the sound, it seemed like they came in a big car?"

"Yes!" Mother Li nodded enthusiastically, "One black, one green, both very big, they can hold quite a few people."

"Second brother and second sister are lucky indeed." The woman said enviously.

"Just this little thing, what’s there to be lucky about?" Father Li said while stretching his neck to look outside, Mother Li gave him a push, "They won’t be back so soon, put on a coat, don’t catch a cold and make your old ailment act up."

The woman quickly said: "We’ve frozen several bins of frozen pears at home, I’ll pick a basket for second brother and second sister later. Second brother, your throat needs good care, this winter, the constant cough can be lethal."

Father Li and Mother Li exchanged a silent glance, clearly, Fifth Aunt must have heard their conversation just now and though they won’t say it, she started cozying up to them. In the past, not to mention a basket of frozen pears, even one would be hard to get from her. It’s no wonder everyone wants to hold an official position.

However, they cannot cause trouble for their son!

"Fifth Aunt, keep the frozen pears for yourself, we also froze several bins at home, more than enough to eat." Father Li said as he walked towards the courtyard, "I’ll check on Zhuangzhuang, make sure he doesn’t fall off the bed, with such an irresponsible mother, if the child isn’t cared for by an elder, who knows how much suffering he’ll endure."
