Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

It was past three in the afternoon when Wang Xiaohua had sobered up considerably. Wang Erhai learned he was back today and called him, asking him to come to where he and Liu Mei Qi were living for a while, then return together to Shanggou Village, their hometown, in the evening.

So Wang Xiaohua bid farewell to Li Zhongxian and Zhao Xintong, then went to Wang Erhai's house.

This was Wang Xiaohua's first time visiting Li Jianjia's home. Because he had returned in a hurry, he came empty-handed, bringing no gifts at all, but Li Zhongxian never held anything against him from start to finish.

One can only say that for someone who is satisfied with you, even if you do not do well enough, they will tolerate you.

But for someone who is not satisfied with you, even if you do things very well and very thoughtfully, they will still find fault with you.

When Wang Xiaohua left, Li Zhongxian still had Li Jianjia see him downstairs.

"Xiao Hua, what are your plans after you graduate?"

Arriving outside the residential complex, while waiting for the three-wheeler, Li Jianjia asked him this question.

This question was not only one Li Zhongxian cared about; Li Jianjia cared about it too.

"I'm not very clear right now. In the past I thought about doing academic research, without so much intrigue, just needing to work hard with my head down. But now I've discovered that doing academic research, I might still lack some aptitude. Anyway, everything is still undecided; let's take it one step at a time. Maybe I'll come back to develop in the County Town later, who knows."

This time, Wang Xiaohua's last sentence was no longer the polite, perfunctory words he had once said to Zhang Sheng. This time, when he said these words to Li Jianjia, they came from the heart.

At least he now no longer rejected the possibility of returning to develop in the County Town.

"I think if we can return to develop in the County Town, it might not be a bad choice either. Think about it: our parents are both in this County Town. When they get old in the future, we can take care of them. After we get married and have children, they can come lend a hand to help take care of things."

Li Jianjia had already thought about getting married and having children in the future. It could be seen that she was very serious about this relationship.

"You're right. This is indeed a good choice."

Wang Xiaohua smiled and responded.

At this moment, a passenger-carrying three-wheeler arrived. Wang Xiaohua waved his hand and got in.

"Jianjia, you go back. When I have time during the Spring Festival, I'll come down to the County Town to find you again."

"Okay. Be careful on the road. We'll chat on WeChat when you get back!"

On this side, Wang Xiaohua was riding the three-wheeler toward his second brother's place, while on his second brother Wang Erhai's side, he and Liu Mei Qi were at this moment arguing heatedly.

In the first year of their marriage, they encountered the greatest disagreement between husband and wife.

Whose family should they return to for the Spring Festival this year?

Wang Erhai felt that since Liu Mei Qi had already married him, she must return to his family.

But Liu Mei Qi felt that Wang Erhai's hometown in Shanggou Village was narrow and dilapidated, simply unfit for living in. Since they had established a new home, they might as well stay in the County Town for the Spring Festival.

She also did not want to return to her own family, because every year when returning home for the Spring Festival, her parents would argue heatedly.

She only wanted to stay quietly in her own little home.

Even if there was no New Year flavor, it didn't matter. It was still better than suffering.

"No matter what, I must return to my hometown to eat the New Year's Eve Dinner on New Year's Eve!"

Wang Erhai's attitude was very firm.

Even a dog doesn't despise a poor home. How could he possibly dislike his hometown in Shanggou Village?

Besides, that was only a temporary residence. After his parents build the new house in the future, they will surely change this current straitened situation.

If he worked out-of-province, he would still have the excuse that the distance was too far and it was inconvenient to go back.

But now both he and Liu Mei Qi work in the County Town, and the distance to Shanggou Village is less than half an hour by car. With the distance so close, if they don't go back for the Spring Festival, what will his parents think?

They will surely be unhappy!

He didn't care much about his father Wang Zhanggen's feelings, but he must care about his mother Li Xiulan's feelings. Because the three brothers were raised by their mother with blood and sweat!

"You go back yourself if you want. Anyway, I'm not going back. By then your eldest brother and Third Brother will both go back. In such a small place, can it even fit people? Nothing is convenient no matter what you do!"

Liu Mei Qi had a black face, and her attitude was also very unyielding.

"Liu Mei Qi, what kind of attitude is this? A woman who marries a chicken follows the chicken, a woman who marries a dog follows the dog. Don't you understand this principle? Is your skin itching for a beating again!"

Wang Erhai roared angrily.

Liu Mei Qi was also stubborn and didn't know how to communicate properly. Wang Erhai was in a fit of anger, and she still talked back to him:

"Go ahead and hit me. If you have the guts, hit me. Haven't you hit me enough? Even if you beat me to death, I won't go back to Shanggou Village with you for the Spring Festival!"

Wang Erhai was truly furious, his whole body trembling slightly:

"The wedding you wanted, I gave it to you. The house you wanted to buy in Guangzhou, I sincerely helped you prepare it. I've given so much for you. Now I only have this one small request: that we return to eat a meal on New Year's Eve, stay one night, and return to the County Town on Junior High Year One. Can't you even agree to that?"

Liu Mei Qi actually knew in her heart that Wang Erhai's request was not excessive. It wasn't as if he was asking her to undergo punishment.

But she was simply unwilling to yield.

Bottom line, it was still her selfishness at heart at work.

Returning to Shanggou Village for the Spring Festival was indeed very inconvenient.

After all, the temporary residence where the Wang Family now lives at the Village Entrance even has a toilet that is temporarily built. It's truly impossible to stay overnight.

"You come to my house on New Year's Eve. On Junior High Year One afternoon, we can drive together to your house. Isn't that good?"

Wang Erhai thought his arrangement had no flaws at all.

That way both families could be taken care of.

But Liu Mei Qi said:

"I don't want to return to my own family either."

Wang Erhai laughed in anger:

"You won't return to my family for the Spring Festival, and you won't return to your own family either. Where do you want to go? Do you want to go up to heaven!"

Liu Mei Qi said:

"What's yours and mine? We're married now—shouldn't we have a new home of our own? I'm staying here in our new home for the Spring Festival. What's wrong with that?"

The house they now live in was bought by Liu Mei Qi before she met Wang Erhai; it's her premarital property, but she's already come to regard it as her and Wang Erhai's new home.

So she felt spending the Spring Festival here was fine.

Both sides had no problem; they just thought from different angles.

Although Wang Erhai was already married, his mindset hadn't changed yet—perhaps because he and Liu Mei Qi hadn't had a child—and deep down he felt only that home in Shanggou Village was his home.

He hadn't fully understood that marriage actually means separating from one's original family and forming a brand-new one.

This process requires a change in identity and mindset; actually, whoever it is, will have some degree of discomfort.

"I'm asking you one more time: you really don't want to go home with me for the Spring Festival?"

Wang Erhai was furious, and he was about to burst.

Liu Mei Qi wore a cold face, resisting in silence.

Just then, "Knock knock knock," a knock on the door came from outside.

Xiao Hua came.
