Chapter 109 Gifts
"500 yuan, even less."
"Just 300 yuan, not a penny more. Also, when I leave, Miao Qing must come with me."
"Then there will be no banquet at your house."
"Does your Miao Qing have a dowry? If not, how about a banquet?"
Dung Ball: "..."
"Give me the money."
"No rush, wait until you return the military coat to me. Also, this military coat is military supplies. If you dare to rob it privately, don't blame me for letting the police arrest you."
Dung Qiu was stunned for a moment, thinking that the military coat he had just snatched was for nothing. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he couldn't help but become timid when he thought about being arrested by the police.
"Dungball, you are becoming more and more lawless now. You even dare to rob military supplies, and you still don't get people's military coats back."
Chen Weidang finally found a chance to speak, his eyes widened, and he angrily scolded Dung Ball. Dung Ball could only kick Er Gang once, and Er Gang ran home aggrieved.
It doesn't matter if he goes back, he doesn't have a share anyway, so he can't help but look greedy. Er Gang muttered as he ran, and his feet became faster.
"Li Bing, I didn't expect that I would give you a surprise as soon as you came back. No, I was shocked. Come on, let's kill the New Year pig today. Let's go eat the pig-killing rice."
Chen Weidang put his arm around Li Bing's shoulders and ran to the grain drying field. Li Huan and Li Le took Li Bing's luggage and returned home with gloomy faces.
"Qiao, how are you? Is your stomach okay?"
Cheng Qiao helped Li's mother go home. Li's mother was very depressed, but she still asked Chen Qiao concernedly.
"Mom, I'm fine. You don't have to worry too much. I think the elder brother is very confident. He probably has a good idea."
Mother Li nodded. She would never have imagined that Miao Qing would dare to mess with his Li Bing's mind. This girl's heart was broken and she only hoped that her son could handle the matter.
"Lele, give me your things and go to the grain-drying field to accompany your elder brother. I haven't been back for so many years. I don't know what will happen to me. You can take care of me on the side."
Li's mother was still worried and asked Li Le to follow. Li Le nodded and left. Li Huan picked up all his things and walked home quickly. He was feeling angry now, but he didn't know how to vent it.
When Cheng Qiao and Li's mother returned home, Li Huan was already sitting in the yard chopping firewood. Seeing his fierce look, he seemed to mistake the firewood for Miao Qing and Dung Ball.
Not long after, Li Bing came back with a military coat in his hand and holding Li Le's hand. When he saw Li's mother, he knelt down. It was really unfilial to not see his mother for so many years, but it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. For the sake of the motherland, I can only leave my mother to my younger brother.
Li's mother quickly pulled Li Bing up. If her man hadn't left early, it would have been too difficult for the family, so she agreed to let her son become a soldier.
"Mom, this is the radio I bought for you. You can listen to the radio during the winter."
"Radio, you kid, this thing is so expensive, how can you be so wasteful?"
"Mom, if your son has money, he must be filial to his mother. Also, this is a battery. When it is used up, let your brother go to the county town to buy it."
Li Huan nodded quickly, of course he would do this kind of errands.
"Brother, younger brothers and sisters, I bought this after exchanging tickets with someone else. I give it to you."
Li Bing took out a small box from a large package and opened it. He saw two plum blossom watches, one large and one small. They looked very beautiful together.
"Thank you, brother. I like this gift very much."
"Thank you, brother." Cheng Qiao also quickly expressed his thanks.
Li Huan took it with both hands. You must know that these two watches are not cheap. The eldest brother has saved for many years before he can afford these two watches.
"Brother, where's mine?"
"You are the youngest, so you have to wait until the end, you know."
Li Bing scratched Li Le's nose. The little girl grew up and reached her own nest. It seemed that she would get married in a few years.
"This is the schoolbag, pen, and notebook I bought for you. You have to go to school."
Li Le pouted: "My second sister-in-law has bought it for me a long time ago. I will go to the third grade after the Chinese New Year."
Li Bing was stunned for a moment and looked at Cheng Qiao with gratitude. Although he was not at home, he was well aware of his family's situation.
His younger brother has never worked in the fields and is already a second-rate existence in the village, but he knows that his younger brother must have the ability to make a living, otherwise his mother and sister would not be able to support themselves just by farming.
And the money he sends home every month, his mother doesn't use a penny of it. She says it is reserved for him to find a wife in the future. Therefore, the younger brother is not a second-rate, but is making money wearing the vest of a second-rate.
When I returned home this time, I found that not only had the house been built, but there was also an extra one. Needless to say, it must have been paid for by my younger brother, and maybe there was dowry money from my younger brother and sister in it.
I didn't expect that Li Huan was so lucky. Even though his siblings were good-looking, he could take care of the family so well and be so attentive to Lele.
"Brother and sister, thank you. If my brother is sorry for you in the future, I will deal with him."
Li Huan:"……"
"Thank you, brother. Let's eat. Lele, follow me to serve the food."
Cheng Qiao felt a little embarrassed about Li Bing's sincerity and pulled Li Le to the kitchen.
Li Huan quickly stuffed the watch into Cheng Qiao's big pocket and went to help.
The three of them came out with bowl after bowl of dishes. Li Bing looked at the dishes on the table, such as braised pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pot-wrapped pork, ground three delicacies, and today's butchered vegetables, as well as a large Big white steamed buns in a basket.
"Mom, these dishes..."
"Eat. Since Qiaoer came in, she has tried her best to support the family. Of course, your brother is also working hard. By the way, you are going to be an uncle soon."
Li Bing's eyes lit up. He was about to have a baby in his family. This was a good thing. He took out a wallet made of newspaper from his pocket. Cheng Qiao's eyes flashed. It was definitely made by a woman.
"Mom, there are 400 yuan here. I originally wanted to give this money to you, but now it seems that I can't. 100 yuan will be given to my future nephew or niece, and the remaining 300 yuan will be given to Miao Qing."
"Son, you really want to marry Miao Qing."
Mother Li asked in disbelief.
"Mom, my hand touched a place she shouldn't have touched. Although I didn't mean it, I still have to take responsibility for it."
"Brother, you are too serious. She is an unclean woman. Shouhou saw a little beggar in the county town who looked just like Miao Qing. What can't be done..."
"To shut up……"
Li Bing glanced at Li Huan. He knew that his brother was doing it for his own good. As long as he smeared Miao Qing, he would not have to marry Miao Qing. However, a woman's reputation was as great as the sky, and he did not want to taint a human life.
Besides, making life worse than death is the biggest punishment for this person. As long as Miao Qing can pass this test, he will naturally treat her well in the future.
