Chapter 807: Chapter 483: Li Village
"Why did you hit me?" Xing Nong covered her head, looking at Ying Nuo with an aggrieved expression. Before her words even finished, Ying Nuo had already smacked her on the head.
Ying Nuo glared at her angrily, "You make it sound so easy, but why don’t you try not seeing Lu Lu for a year."
"A year?" Xing Nong’s eyes were full of longing, twinkling like stars, "That would be such a wonderful thing. Forget a year, as many years as possible would be great. I wish I never see him again!"
"Uh..." Ying Nuo looked at her speechlessly, not knowing what to say.
Yaoguang leaned forward, "Nuonuo, your words really hit home for her. She and Lu Lu are like mice and cats; she wishes Lu Lu would stay far away from her."
Xing Nong defiantly raised her head, "I’m the cat, he’s the mouse. Who’s afraid of whom?"
"Fine, I’ll call Lu Lu right now and tell him what you said." Luo Ye said as she took out her phone to call Lu Lu. Xing Nong quickly jumped up to grab the phone, laughing sheepishly, "It’s better not to bring this up. We should consider his pride; men care about their pride, no matter how small, right?"
"Are we still talking about me?" Luo Ye sighed as she looked at her. "I was worried about Great Grandpa earlier, not because I was distracted by Ye Xuan leaving.
Although Great Grandpa’s condition has improved, it’s still uncertain when he will wake up. Originally, we planned on moving him to Sha City after the fifteenth, but Ye Xuan suddenly left, leaving me alone. I don’t know if the Ye Family will still follow the plan. I can’t very well ask them; it’s so frustrating."
Xing Nong frowned too, "True, Grandpa has been so good to you. Regardless of your engagement with Ye Xuan, you should be thoughtful towards Grandpa. If they don’t move him to Sha City, what do we do?"
Luo Feng glanced through the rearview mirror and chimed in, "The Ye Family surely knows what’s best for Grandpa. Why should Ye’er worry so much?"
Luo Ye pouted, "Brother, you make it sound easy. How can I not worry?"
Luo Feng glared at his sister, "How do you plan to worry? Force the Ye Family to send Grandpa over? Or go there every week? Ye’er, no matter how deep your feelings are, always have a limit for yourself. You’re too eager, it only makes people look down on you, get it?"
"Grandpa was good to me, so I’m good to him. Does it matter what others think? If the Ye Family looks down on me because of this, that would be really disappointing."
Seeing his sister a bit upset, Luo Feng sighed softly, "Ye’er, I don’t mean anything else. I just don’t want you to feel even a hint of grievance."
"I know." Luo Ye’s tone softened, "Brother, sorry, I’ve been frustrated these days and my tone has been harsh, not towards..."
Luo Feng interrupted her, "You’re my sister. Of course I understand. Let it be. Ye’er can handle it however she thinks is best. No matter what choice you make, I’ve got your back!"
Sister Li hesitated a bit, looking at Luo Ye, "Miss Ye’er, knowing you’ve been busy lately, having you come here just to see us is really not right."
Luo Ye waved her hand, "Sister Li, accompanying you home is also a kind of distraction for us, please don’t think too much."
Sister Li pondered and looked at Luo Ye, "Miss Ye’er, Xiaoju is quite inexperienced due to her age. Anyway, Elder Ye doesn’t spend much time here. How about I go with the secretary and his wife to the provincial city, what do you think?"
Luo Ye shook her head, "That’s not good. If you leave, what about Dongdong? Frequent school transfers are detrimental to a child’s education."
Dongdong smiled proudly, "Sister Ye’er, I’ve already been pre-admitted to the provincial city’s First Middle School. I can go there for junior high after the mid-term exams."
"Wow, Dongdong!" Luo Ye smiled joyfully at him, "When did this happen? How come I didn’t know?"
Xing Nong reached out to pinch Dongdong’s cheek, "Little Dongdong, you’re even more impressive than Sister Nongnong! Come, let sister encourage you."
Dongdong shrank his neck, leaning closer to Luo Ye, "Sister Nongnong, maybe not. Brother Lu Lu will be jealous, and I can’t beat him."
"Hahaha..."
Xing Nong angrily grabbed Dongdong’s neck, "You rascal, don’t think I won’t discipline you because your mom’s here. Today, sister will show you her might. Now, confess, why didn’t you tell us earlier about getting pre-admitted?"
Dongdong anxiously glanced at Sister Li, "Mom didn’t let me say."
"You rascal, you’ve already said, why look at me?" Sister Li laughed and smacked her son, explaining to Luo Ye, "I was worried he’d become arrogant, so I told him to tell no one."
Luo Ye rubbed Dongdong’s head, "Getting pre-admitted to the provincial city’s First Middle School is absolutely something to be proud of. Dongdong you outshine all of us. Tell me, what do you want? Sister Ye’er will get it for you."
Dongdong quickly took out a new notebook, "I just want Sister Ye’er to write something on the cover page of my journal, is that okay?"
"Of course, no problem at all." Luo Ye opened the notebook, saw the two lines of red characters, and, after a slight pause, joyfully rubbed Dongdong’s little head, "So it’s a national silver medal in Olympiad Math, no wonder the provincial city’s First Middle School pre-admitted you. Sister Li, it’s wrong to keep such a big deal from us."
Sister Li hesitated for a moment, "Is it really that impressive?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Xing Nong raised a thumbs-up, "Sister Li, you are my idol!"
Luo Ye looked curiously at Luo Feng and Ying Nuo, "Brother, Nuonuo, shouldn’t there be reports on such a matter? How come you don’t know?"
"We knew about Dongdong winning the award, Mom and Dad even went to the villa to celebrate together. At that time, you were in training, and we couldn’t reach you by phone. Later, we forgot to tell you. As for the pre-admission, I truly didn’t know. Oh, regarding Dongdong’s award, Nuonuo wrote you a letter. Didn’t you receive it?"
"No, I haven’t." Luo Ye shook her head, "If this had been mentioned, I couldn’t possibly have forgotten. My memory isn’t that bad!"
Ying Nuo thought for a moment and asked, "Luoluo, how often do you receive a letter from me?"
"About once a month."
Ying Nuo furrowed her brows, "I write you a letter every week."
Luo Ye also furrowed her brows, pondered for a while, and then exhaled, "Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. I’ll check it out when I get back to school and see who’s playing tricks."
...
Sister Li’s parent’s home.
Sister Li’s parents, brother, sister-in-law, niece, and nephew sat coyly on small benches, unsure what to do with their hands and feet. They weren’t aware of Luo Ye and the others’ identities; they were actually intimidated by the Buick bullet train they came in.
They only heard Sister Li was coming back, and they never expected her to return in such a vehicle and bring along such a group of lively city kids. Everyone was really startled.
Especially Sister Li’s sister-in-law, who compared herself to Sister Li in everything since marrying into the Li family, always feeling superior to Sister Li. But this time, she was completely outdone. When had she ever returned to her family so grandly? She comforted herself that, no matter what, Sister Li doesn’t have a husband, and in that regard, she is better off.
The neighborhood kids were also crowding at the door to watch the commotion, occasionally touching the car body and peering inside, giggling and running away.
Luo Ye deliberately joked, "Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, are we bothering you by coming in such a big group?"
Sister Li’s mom hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, we adore city kids."
"Since that’s the case, everyone, please feel at ease." Luo Feng gestured at Ying Nuo and Xing Nong, "They have never seen the real countryside and wanted to come and take a look, otherwise, we wouldn’t bring such a big group and bother you."
Sister Li’s little nephew, with a finger in his mouth, pointed at Dongdong’s new clothes and looked at Sister Li’s sister-in-law, "Mom, I want new clothes too."
"Go on, get out of the way." Sister Li slapped her son on the butt, "Ask your dad for it. Your dad earns the money!"
"Oh..." The little kid howled, clinging to his grandma and muttering incomprehensibly.
Sister Li’s brother glared at his wife, "Sister and Dongdong hardly come back, what are you trying to do by making the kid cry?"
Sister Li’s sister-in-law complained, "Their kid has a name, but yours is just a brat."
Seeing Brother Li glare again, Father Li nudged him, "Alright, let’s all say a few words less." He then apologized to Luo Ye and others, "Country folk, not much experience, not venting on the kids."
"We know, we know." Luo Ye stood up, "How about letting Dongdong take us around? We have to head back this afternoon."
"Why don’t you stay for the night, our kang bed is nice and warm." Sister Li’s mom said while gazing at her daughter longingly.
Luo Ye immediately realized the old lady misunderstood and quickly said, "Grandma, Sister Li will stay for several more days, and we’ll send someone to fetch her when she returns."
"This child, this child..." The old lady murmured joyfully, unable to speak a coherent sentence for a while.
Sister Li looked at Luo Ye, "Miss Ye’er, let Dongdong take you around, and I’ll stay home to help with lunch, is that okay?"
"Of course, it’s fine." Luo Ye held Dongdong’s little hand, "Let’s go, little guide."
Sister Li’s young nephew, with a runny nose, enviously stared at Luo Ye’s fair little hand.
Ying Nuo couldn’t help but squat down, "Sister will wipe your nose, and once it’s clean, sister will walk with you, okay?"
"Okay." The little boy eagerly stretched out his hand, and Sister Li’s sister-in-law happily passed a towel over, "Shengsheng, quickly thank the sister."
"Thank you, sister." The little boy obediently thanked Ying Nuo.
Father Li gave an approving look to Sister Li and turned to the chicken coop.
Li Village is one of the poorer villages in the vicinity, but the environment is quite nice. It’s currently winter, and although it’s bleak everywhere, the air is far superior to the city’s.
The group first went to see the famous hundred-year-old locust tree in the village, and then headed towards the small hill behind the village. There’s a small grove there, with quite a few wild rabbits, and everyone seemed eager to try their luck.
"Hao is beating his wife again, Hao is beating his wife again!..." A group of kids shouted as they ran past the group.
