Chapter 227 Brother And Sister Meet

Chapter 227 meeting brother and sister

After pressing the handprint, Zheng Wentao took the opportunity to educate Zheng Mingfeng, who came out of the kitchen with tea, "Mingfeng, you see, father and son are clear about the accounts. Today, father borrowed ten thousand yuan from Mingze and wrote an iou. He will pay him back with interest. The same goes for you. If you sign a guarantee today, you can give your mother fifty yuan a month and not a penny less. We won't give you any more pocket money. Don't try to get money out of your mother and brother. I'll always ask them. If you don't keep your word, you might as well move out."

Zheng Mingfeng put down the teacup with trembling hands and accidentally spilled some on the table. He lowered his head and replied, "I see."

"Louder!" Zheng Wentao slapped again.

"I see." Zheng Mingfeng shrank and hid beside Zheng Minglong.

Zheng Mingze glanced at her faintly, took off his glasses, and put the iou that Zheng Wentao had handed into his bag. He spoke slowly, "There's a young people's cultural palace on chaoyang road looking for a dance teacher. It takes one day off every week, and its monthly salary is 180."

Zheng Mingfeng was slightly taken aback. The half-brother rarely spoke to her. Every time he met her, he only glanced at her and left. This was the first time he had said such a long thing to himself. His eyes sparkled and he replied, "Oh, I, I'll try it tomorrow."

The monthly salary of eighteen was not low either. It was twenty yuan higher than her working in the dance school, fifty yuan from her family, and one hundred and thirty yuan left. It was enough for her to buy less.

"Zheng Mingfeng, are you educated or not? Ming ze has helped you. Can't you even say thank you?" Zheng Wentao did not know what was going on now. She was so angry at her appearance that another similar face appeared in her mind. The child's manners were polite and well-mannered, his temperament confident and generous, leaving his little daughter ten streets.

"Thank you, brother." Zheng Mingfeng glanced at Zheng Wentao anxiously and thanked him in a low voice, but he was not unwilling.

Zheng Wentao gave her a cold sideways glance and ordered Li Xiaoqin, who was not sitting at the side, "Go cook. Mingze will go back after dinner here."

"Okay." Li Xiaoqin turned to walk to the kitchen. Suddenly, he remembered that he had just bought some fruit and called to his son, "Minglong, mom just bought some grapes. Go wash some for your father and brother to eat." When he left, he didn't forget to shout, "Mingfeng, come and help wash the vegetables."

"Oh." Zheng Mingfeng could not wait to leave the living room immediately. It was too depressing and she would rather help out.

Zheng Wentao was in a much better mood now that his distressed daughter was not in the house and his two excellent sons were with him. He talked to Zheng Mingze about school.

Li Haitang took everyone out for half a month before returning. Li Tao, Duan Jinqiao and Wang Tiao stayed in the provincial city to help with the small things in the shop. Li Haitang drove Mr. Tang home himself.

The house in the town was always empty, and every year it was new year's eve to clean up. This time, she did not intend to stay at home for a long time, but simply cleaned it up. At night, she went back to the li family village. As for eating, he planned to spend a day at his second and third uncles' houses.

He had just returned from town to Lee ka tsuen when he met a group of people at the entrance of the village. She took a closer look and saw that it was old Li Fugui and his wife with a few children. One of them was a tall and thin boy. She recognized him at a glance.

It was her brother from the same parents, but why did he come here?

There were very few people driving cars in the countryside, so her car attracted many people's attention as soon as it entered the village. The energetic old man who was chatting with Li Fugui and the others saw that it was Li Haitang who was driving. His smile suddenly changed and he deliberately shouted at her, "Haitang, why are you back today?"

Everyone's eyes were on the car, and his voice reminded them to look in unison at the people inside, especially Zheng Mingze.

He had come running to her, and he had begged his grandparents to bring him to his mother's hometown to play, to see where her mother and she grew up, but he did not expect to be so lucky to meet her here.

Li Haitang drove a little forward, stopped on the side of the road, rolled down the window, smiled sweetly and politely and shouted, "Third uncle, your old eyes are really sharp. You can see it's me from so far away. I'm taking Mr. Tang home today, so I'm going back to the village to play for a few days."

"Hehe, I see." Third uncle was at Ming Tangshu's father, who was going to work in the fields with a hoe in his hand.

Li Haitang smiled at him and looked at the li family, "Sixth grandpa, sixth grandma, you're back too."

"Well, I haven't been back for more than three years. Come back and take a walk." Li Fugui, who had a few more strands of white hair, tugged at the corner of his stiff mouth. Zhao Chunlan forced a smile and then pulled his grandson's arm without a trace.

"Sister, long time no see." Although they hadn't seen each other for more than three years, Li Wei and li zhi still remembered her. The two brothers shouted happily.

Li Haitang liked these two children. Although there was some arrogance between their brows, they were polite and had a smile in their eyes, "Wei, zhi, it's been a long time. You two have grown a lot taller."

The twins looked so alike that it was hard to tell them apart. The only difference was that Li Wei had a small mole on his nose. He ran to the car and asked with a smile, "Sister, when are you going back to the provincial city?"

"Well, it's decided for the time being that it's the morning after tomorrow." I don't know why he asked this question, but I answered him truthfully.

"Sister, can we take your car home?"

Li Fugui and Zhao Chunlan's faces trembled. They did not expect the grandson to make such a request. It was not only awkward, but also a little embarrassing.

Zheng Minglong was also a little embarrassed, but she was also surprised that her two little cousins would be so close to her. Listening to them talk, it seemed very friendly. These days, he had learned everything about her upbringing here, and he felt guilty about her sister. Although mom and dad said they knew about it, they didn't know much about it and only got superficial information. He went to her neighbor Uncle Zhu's house to find out yesterday. Aunt er zhu didn't hide anything from him. She told him everything about her childhood as long as she remembered it.

Li Haitang also did not expect li wei to make this request. It was obvious that he was young and did not know the relationship between them. He only thought that she was an ordinary neighbor's sister, and she could not refute a child's request, so she had to smile and nod, "Yes, we can leave at eight o' clock the day after tomorrow morning."

"Oh, okay, thank you, sister." The twins jumped up in joy.

Seeing that they were happy, Li Haitang also smiled and nodded to the complicated zheng minglong as a greeting. Then he said to several elders, "Third uncle, sixth grandpa and sixth grandma, I'll go back first. You can continue to talk."

"Okay." The li couple responded.

Third uncle took two steps towards her and smiled, "Haitang, it's rare for you to come back. Stop cooking at home and come to third uncle's house for dinner."

"Third uncle, I won't bother you and third uncle. I'll just have dinner at second and third uncle's house these two days."

"Why bother? Just a pair of chopsticks. You can have dinner at the two uncle's tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Come to my house for dinner tonight. I'll go back and let the old lady cook." Their family was a well-known poor family in the village. In the past two years, with her help, they found a job to earn money for their son. They also learned to drive and married a new daughter-in-law.

Li Haitang did not refuse, so he smiled and answered, "Okay, I'll be back at six." After a pause, he did not forget to say, "Third uncle, don't make too many meat dishes. Just make a few vegetables. Otherwise, I won't go for a meal next time."

"Okay, fry a few eggplant beans and some eggs from your old hen for you to eat."

Li Haitang smiled until his eyes curved, "Okay, this is the best. I'll go first. Bye." He nodded at the others, stepped on the gas, and headed for the village.

Zheng Minglong stood there and watched the car disappear completely. Her smile kept appearing in his mind. It was clean and pure, bright and sincere, without a trace of hypocrisy. This was his eldest sister. She was very beautiful and had the same temperament as her brother. She was smart and calm. She was much better than the sister at home.

After saying goodbye to Third uncle, Li Fugui and his wife slowly walked home with their three grandchildren.

The old couple knew about what had happened to their son-in-law's family in the past two years. Although their business was in a bad state, they were also richer than the average worker's family. With a leather factory there, it was sooner or later for them to make a comeback. As for his grandson who wanted to come here to find out about his elder sister, they did as he pleased. As for his inquiring about the situation in the village, they did not stop him. They could see that the child wanted to reunite with his family, but it was not easy for him to realize his wish.

When Li Haitang got home, he opened the door and washed his face in a well in the backyard. After a short rest, he took the broom and cleaned the house.

The house was fairly clean. After all, half a month ago, the family had a banquet. Aunt Fen and the others went to the provincial capital after they cleaned it up. She wiped the dust off the cabinet and table, then went to visit aunt er zhu's house next door.

Uncle Zhu was working in a shop in the provincial capital. Aunt er zhu and her grandson, li zhen, were at home. When she first came back, the two of them went to pick vegetables in the fields.

When they saw her coming back, they warmly welcomed her into the house.

After chatting in the house for more than half an hour, aunt er zhu told her that Zheng Minglong had come to inquire about her. "Haitang, your brother is a good boy. He has been in the village for five or six days. He has no arrogance at all. No matter who he sees, he greets politely. Everyone in the village is full of praise. I heard that this year's college entrance examination also went to the university of the capital. He came here that day to find his aunt and told her straight to the point that he had only unintentionally heard from his parents half a month ago that there was a sister like you. He came here specially to understand the situation."

Li Haitang pursed his lips slightly and pulled down the corners of his mouth, "So what if we understand? We have nothing to do with each other."

"Haitang, since he's here, could it be xiaoqin who wants to acknowledge you?" Aunt er zhu thought that they must have had this idea. Now that she was studying at the Beijing university, the country's number one school, and had earned so much money, her biological parents must have had an idea.

"No." Li Haitang shook his head and told her about the letter of guarantee. She did not publicize this matter in the village, and those who worked in the provincial capital did not say it, so most people in the village did not know.

When aunt er zhu heard this, her eyes popped out. "So you have already met? When did this happen?"

"More than three years ago, she was a senior in the Tam city 1 middle school."

The wrinkles on auntie er zhu's forehead were all twisted into a ball, "Then what does your brother mean by coming here this time?"

"I don't know. Let him be." Li Haitang didn't want to have anything to do with him. She didn't want to talk to anyone in the Zheng family, and the letter of guarantee clearly stated that they didn't disturb each other's lives. This brother was just a stranger to her.

"He has no bad intentions. He is a very simple and kind child. Auntie can still tell that. Probably out of curiosity, I came here to ask for information."

Li Haitang was not interested in the reason why he came here. Since he knew of his existence, he must also know that she had signed a guarantee with his parents. A child who could get into college was not a fool. He should know what to do in his heart.
