The two brothers stayed up almost all night, carefully tidying up the courtyard, and then got on the train to Spring City, where their family's grocery store was.

Although it has been managed by Li Cheng over the years, it is still a store founded by his mother back then. There is always a store that must be visited. There is also the wholesale market in Xiangyang County, which is also the focus of Cheng Li's attention.

Li Chen stood blankly at the door of the grocery store smoking, looking at the people coming and going. He was a little confused for a moment. He was already twenty-one years old, but he had accomplished nothing.

He couldn't get into school, didn't even get into college, and couldn't find a job, so he lived in Li Ming's shop. His grandma didn't take good care of him, which made him paralyzed.

"Li Cheng, why are you standing at the door smoking?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Cheng turned around and saw that it was Cheng Li. A smile immediately appeared on his face. It turned out that the second brother and Ye Jing were back.

"Brother, have you finally returned from your studies?"

"Yes, how is business here?"

"Business is good. By the way, I'll get the financial statements to show you."

"Hey, there are actually financial statements here."

"Uncle Zhao Hui hired special financial personnel to do it. I couldn't understand what they said about filing taxes."

"No, how are you now?"

It turned out that his uncle helped manage the grocery store, so he no longer needed to do anything. Cheng Li gave up the idea of ​​going to the wholesale department.

"I will stay here, and Brother Li Ming will ask the finance department to pay me my salary every month."

"Thank you Li Cheng. If it weren't for you, Li Ming wouldn't be able to become a soldier with such confidence."

"Where should I thank you? Thank you to my second aunt. Without her, I don't know if I can grow up. But where is my second aunt? I haven't seen her in five years."

Cheng Li and Ye Jing felt sad, but did not answer his question. Instead, they walked into the grocery store and took a look at the shop that their mother had built with her own hands.

There are several more shelves than before, and the products are more diverse. There are two large pots standing at the door of the grocery store, and large meat buns and white flour steamed buns are steaming in the big pots.

"I'll get a big meat bun to eat."

Cheng Li gave the money, then took out a big meat bun and put it in his mouth, stuffing it into his mouth in small bites, vaguely feeling the taste of his childhood.

"Mom, wait for me, I will come to you soon. I will not get married until I find you."

Cheng Li swore silently in his heart, took out his handkerchief and wiped his hands before leaving:

"How are your uncle and auntie doing? Your sister is in junior high school now, but we are in an emergency and won't go to Xiangyang Village. Please give my regards to them, and if you have time, come to Liangzhou to stay for a few days."

Li Cheng was a little reluctant. He hadn't seen Cheng Li and the others in so many years. Living alone in this city was really lonely.

"Why don't you leave after lunch? You haven't even warmed your butts yet."

"No, we are catching the train to Liangzhou in the afternoon. We won't be able to catch it after lunch. Please take care of yourself before we leave."

"That's it, have a nice journey. By the way, tell grandma that we will go back to Liangzhou to celebrate the New Year."

Cheng Li and Ye Jing nodded at the same time and hurried to the train station. When they returned to Liangzhou, they were surprised to find Li Huan sitting beside grandma's bed.

"Dad, you're back."

"Oh, my two sons are back. I haven't seen them in ten years. They have grown into young men."

"Dad, when will you come back?"

Ye Jing asked in surprise. He had just left a few days ago, and he didn't expect to see his father when he returned home.

"I came back yesterday. Your grandma told me that you went to pick up your eldest brother. Ye Jing, your performance in the past five years has made dad proud of you."

"Dad, I...don't have the ability to take care of grandma's illness."

"No, you are already great. Your grandma said that she used to need help to feed her when eating, and help when going to the toilet. She drooled at the corner of her mouth and was not able to speak well. But now..."

Now Li's mother can walk a few steps with a cane and can basically take care of herself. The only thing that cannot be cured is her heart disease. She is worried about the son and daughter-in-law she has been keeping in mind for so many years without news.

"Mom, my son will have dinner with you today, and I will go find your daughter-in-law tomorrow. Believe me, I will definitely bring your daughter-in-law back."

"Huan Zai, is Qiao really still alive?"

"Alive, I have a sense here."

Li Huan touched his left chest, where there was a mark left by Cheng Qiao. If the mark is not destroyed, the person will live.

Mother Li believed in Li Huan very much. Her son would never lie to him. He said that her daughter-in-law was alive when she was alive. A wave of tiredness came to her heart. Mother Li finally fell asleep and could still hear her snoring.

Li Huan waved his hand and tiptoed out of the house. Looking at the two sons who followed him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Cheng Li, do you have any plans when you come back this time?"

"Originally, I wanted to hold a wedding with Wu Xiaolin, and then go to Beijing, Haicheng and other big cities to invest in real estate. But now that something like this happened at home, these plans have to be postponed. I will find my mother first."

"Good son, are you willing to trust Dad?"

"of course."

"Go to the capital. What matters in investment business is the right time, right place, and harmony. Now, taking advantage of the spring breeze of reform and opening up, and the protection of our family from above, invest quickly."

"But mom..."

"Your mother left it to me. It has been your mother who has taken care of us all these years. Now it is my turn to take care of you. I will renovate the Cheng family's courtyard house and make it your wedding room."

Cheng Li nodded. The courtyard was a dowry left by his grandmother to his mother. It was originally meant to be left to Xiao Nuan, but his mother invested in a medicinal food shop for Xiao Nuan, so the courtyard was left to him.

"I'll go to the desert first to have a look and talk to my mother for a few words, and then go to the capital."

"Okay, let's call Xiao Nuan and Li Ming to come back too. Li Ming is not young anymore and it's time to get married."

"Okay, I'm going to make a call right now."

One night, the father and son sat together, drinking tea and talking about Cheng Qiao and their childhood. As they talked, Cheng Li and Ye Jing fell asleep unknowingly.

When they woke up, Li Huan was nowhere to be seen. The two looked everywhere, only to see Wang Zai looking into the distance with a lonely look on his face.

Li Huan was already standing on the edge of the desert, looking at the endless desert. He slowly put his hand up. Gradually, the golden desert began to change color.

When Cheng Liguo came over with a shovel, he could hardly believe his eyes. When did the desert turn into a world of white ice and snow.

There was also the half-crouching man who I seemed to have seen somewhere. I walked over quickly and found that it was my son-in-law Li Huan, whom I had not seen for ten years.

"Li Huan, is it you? Am I dazzled? You are finally back. Do you know that my Qiaoqiao is there? She is waiting for you every day."
