Chapter 24: Eldest Sister-in-law

The Second Master said coldly: "With your conduct, you want to eat wild boar meat? You can't even eat wild boar shit, let alone let me show off. Pfft, it would be a blessing if you didn't make me spend money to support you."

Liu Guangtian said boldly: "Isn't there still a piece left? What's wrong with letting us eat a little?"

Liu Guangfu snatched the words: "Why give everything to the eldest brother? The eldest brother's marriage already emptied the family, and now that there's meat, give the eldest brother a share too!"

The Second Master scolded angrily: "You know nothing. Your eldest brother is a cadre now, so he should eat meat."

Liu Guangtian retorted dissatisfiedly: "What cadre, he's just a small clerk."

The Second Master always wanted to be an official, but because of his primary school education, he didn't get up there, which had always been a heart disease. Now that his eldest son was a clerk, he was barely an official in the eyes of outsiders.

The eldest son was the pride of the old couple, so how could he tolerate Liu Guangtian saying that.

The Second Master put down his wine glass and gave Liu Guangtian a kick, kicking him backward. Seeing Liu Guangfu's cowardly look, he also kicked him over. The two brothers were kicked into a panic and ran out of the house.

The Second Master stood at the door, jumping and cursing: "You two little brats, get out and don't come back!"

When Li Xuewu went to send meat to the grandmother, the Deaf Grandmother was already asleep. Seeing Li Xuewu knock on the door, she draped her clothes, leaned on her cane, sat up, and pulled the light cord to turn on the light.

Seeing the light turn on, Li Xuewu pushed the door and entered the room.

"Grandmother, I'm Xuewu from the front courtyard. I brought you a piece of pork."

Seeing it was Li Xuewu, and that he had even placed a piece of meat on the table, the Deaf Grandmother hurriedly wanted to stand up.

Li Xuewu pressed the Deaf Grandmother down and wouldn't let her get off the ground.

"Grandmother, rest. I'm leaving."

After saying this, he left the door.

He also knocked on the doors of the two families in the Deaf Grandmother's ear room to send meat.

When he knocked on Xu Damao's door, he waited for two minutes before Watching Lou Xiaoe opened the door, wearing red silk pajamas and a small cotton-padded jacket.

This Watching Lou Xiaoe was truly well-endowed, with a curvaceous figure paired with that baby face, making Li Xuewu's wine fumes surge.

Li Xuewu hurriedly opened his mouth: "Sister-in-law, resting? The family slaughtered a pig, so I brought a piece of meat for you and Brother Damao. I know your family isn't short of this, just to taste something fresh."

Watching Lou Xiaoe was embarrassed to take it when Xu Damao came out in his pajamas.

"Xuewu, why say that? How distant. Thanks a lot. Come to your brother's house another day, I'll stir-fry two dishes for you, and your sister-in-law and I will drink a few glasses with you."

Li Xuewu said with a flushed face: "Then it's settled. You and sister-in-law rest, I'm going back."

Saying this, he walked home.

Xu Damao smelled the wine fumes on Li Xuewu and didn't mind Li Xuewu's complexion, thinking it was because of the drinking, and muttered: "This kid is quite particular, and his wine capacity seems pretty good."

Watching Lou Xiaoe pinched Xu Damao: "Only know wine."

Let's not talk about the two of them fighting again.

Why did Li Xuewu insist on finishing the meat delivery at night?

Because Li Xuewu didn't want this group of people to think about it all night and scold all night. Besides, this could be considered his formal meeting and greeting with everyone since returning.

Li Xuewu carried the empty bucket back, saw the Liu Guangtian brothers running out, didn't mind, and continued walking back.

He met Qin Huairu wiping her tears in the middle courtyard and said: "Sister Qin, feeding rabbits in the middle of the night? These two rabbits, hey, so white!"

Qin Huairu was embarrassed. Seeing Li Xuewu didn't stop to say a casual word, she didn't answer either.

Li Xuewu didn't care about Qin Huairu's reaction and returned home in a few steps. By now, the family had finished tidying up and were preparing to sleep.

Li Xuewu pointed to the braised offal and said to Li Xuewen, who was reading: "The day after tomorrow, pack a bag of braised goods, chop half the pig's head, take twenty jin of meat, and send it to the eldest sister-in-law's house after work."

Li Xuewen didn't care and replied softly: "Got it."

Clearly, he was engrossed in reading and agreed following Li Xuewu's words.

Zhao Yafang said excitedly: "No need for so much, just take a bit of meat."

Li Xuewu didn't answer his eldest sister-in-law's words and said to Li Xuewen again: "Also take two bottles of wine. Buy bottled Fenjiu at the supply and marketing cooperative at the entrance."

As he spoke, he took out two wine coupons and placed them in front of his eldest brother's desk.

His eldest brother Li Xuewen put down his book and said in surprise: "What are you doing?"

Li Xuewu ignored his eldest brother, turned to Zhao Yafang, and said: "Don't mind what I said earlier, eldest sister-in-law. My eldest brother is a bookworm. It's the first year for a new son-in-law to visit for the New Year; it won't do if the hands are light. Sister-in-law, go back with my brother. It's not easy to walk in the dark, so stay for a night before coming back."

Li Xuewu knew that married girls all missed home. Who wouldn't want to stay for a night and hear some nice words if they could go home in style?

His eldest brother Li Xuewen was embarrassed and wanted to stuff the coupons back.

"Xuewu, what are you doing? I have coupons; why would I want yours?"

Zhao Yafang also said gratefully: "Thank you, second brother. My maiden family can finally see meat this year."

Li Xuewu pushed his eldest brother's hand back and said: "Yours is yours, this is my heart. Keep it. I didn't make it to the wedding."

Liu Yin also said: "If your brother gives it to you, just take it. Why be polite with your brother?"

Zhao Yafang had long wanted to suggest sending meat to her maiden family, but her mother-in-law was in charge. She wanted to suggest it, but opened her mouth several times without daring to. Seeing her brother-in-law suggest it, tears of gratitude fell.

Liu Yin wiped Zhao Yafang's tears and said: "Why cry? I know your family is bitter. Even if Xuewu didn't say it, I would have sent it to your family tomorrow. He is your brother, why thank him? Stop crying."

Zhao Yafang's family was in the countryside, and it wasn't easy to support a female university student. There were three younger brothers in the family. Her father was a very enlightened person, one of the few in this era who could let his daughter go to university.

Seeing Liu Yin speak, Li Xuewu didn't bother with his eldest brother and his wife anymore, turned to his mother, and said: "Think about how many leaders Dad has in his unit. Regardless of size, send five jin to each family, and three jin to colleagues with good relationships."

Liu Yin said heartbrokenly: "Your dad has quite a few leaders in his unit. They aren't relatives or friends, why send them?"

Li Shun also said with a straight face: "Nonsense, how can we do this in the unit? What would I become?"

Li Xuewu ignored Li Shun and continued to say to Liu Yin: "Dad is only forty, he can still progress. His medical skills are so good, he's been stuck at the 4th rank, 12th level for two years without any movement. Besides, how can colleagues not interact?"

As he spoke, he patted Li Xuecai on the shoulder and said: "Mom, don't feel heartbroken. Compile the names, and you and Xuecai go with Dad to send it tomorrow afternoon. Xuecai will be a doctor in the future and can't do without Dad's connections. Go and recognize the doors first."

Seeing Li Xuecai looking at him strangely, he continued: "By the way, see if any family has a girl of similar age, and bring one back for Xuecai to be his wife, hahaha."

Liu Yin pinched her second son and scolded with a smile: "Why are you so unreliable?"

Hearing Li Xuewu's arrangement, everyone laughed. Li Xuecai shook off his second brother and ran to the north room to get on the kang.

Li Shun heard his second son's arrangement and didn't oppose it anymore. =====

Li Shun heard his second son's arrangements and no longer opposed them.
