Reborn as a landlord!I can

Chapter 222 People from Hometown

Li Yichang and Li Ze walked in front, dumbfounded as they looked at the unfamiliar county.

Is this still the county seat they remember? In just ten years, it feels like the county seat has changed drastically.

Li Yichang was okay. He felt that there had been changes but not much. He could still find familiar buildings and get his bearings.

Li Ze was really worried. When he left, this place was still dilapidated and decadent. Now that he came back, everything was different.

In the past, people walked on the street like thieves, shrinking their necks and brains. They would run faster than rabbits at the slightest sign of trouble, and residents would close their doors to hide.

Now people on the street hold their heads high and talk and laugh while walking. The shops and houses on both sides of the street have also changed and look prosperous.

"Dad, the county has changed so much that I can't even find my way around. Do you still remember how my aunt and sister's family got there?"

Li Ze was a little worried.

Eating is a trivial matter, and you can deal with it with just anything, but you can't deal with your loved ones' homes.

And he doesn't have much time, so he really can't delay any longer.

"It's okay, I'm probably heading in the right direction, I remember it!"

In the past, Li Yichang was the most familiar with the county. When he was not married to Tang Baozhu, he was busy running around in the county and was very familiar with this area.

"We can't come to your door today. We'll go find your aunt and sister tomorrow. We'll go to the market and supply and marketing cooperative later to buy some door-to-door gifts."

Several people agreed.

"Uncle, my aunt is also in the county? Why don't you remember her?"

In Li Manping's memory, the aunt never appeared, or she appeared but she didn't know about it.

Li Yichang patted Li Manping's head and smiled helplessly.

"It's right that you don't remember. Your aunt is very confused."

Seeing that several children were interested, it was hard for Li Yichang not to say anything. Moreover, he would come to visit tomorrow when he came back. He had to vaccinate a few people to avoid the embarrassment of not knowing anything.

"Your aunt is the eldest daughter in the family, two years older than me. Your grandfather dotes on her very much and raises her a little too simply."

Li Yichang gets a headache when he thinks of that ungrateful eldest sister. She is either innocent or stupid and easy to deceive.

"At that time, several of our brothers were born one after another. Your grandma's attention was focused on us brothers and ignored your aunt. But your grandpa really doted on her and took her with him wherever he went. He was not pitiful."

"Then for some reason, when she was about fifteen or sixteen, she fell in love with a gangster. Your grandfather and the others didn't agree, so she broke off the relationship with the family and brought her things to her door."

"That man is not a serious person. He goes around doing mischief every day instead of doing business. When he has no food, he instigates your aunt to go home and move food. He never shows up."

"Later my mother got sick and wanted to see her, so I went to find her, but she was beaten. She refused to go home and said it had nothing to do with us. In the end, your grandma left with regrets."

Thinking of his mother's eyes that could not be closed, Li Yichang became filled with resentment. He was angry with his eldest sister and also angry with himself for being useless.

"Dad was also angry. He wouldn't let her in when she came back to bring food. Unexpectedly, she was also so angry that she would rather chew leaves than go home. She didn't even come back to see him until he was seriously ill and died."

Li Manping was speechless, this aunt is so... so ignorant!

She is a junior and it is not good for her to slander her elders.

"Your aunt has three sons. They have all imitated their father's example and are not good people. They eat and drink all day long and wait to die. If you go to her house, don't agree to any requests."

Several others nodded, but only Li Ze frowned.

Since there is no support from the family, and the so-called uncle is not doing his job properly, what does the family rely on to survive?

Li Yichang stopped talking, found a restaurant and went in.

They arrived early, there was no customer inside, and it was written on the wall that meals would be served today.

One is me, and the two are younger siblings. After asking everyone, Li Ze consciously went to order food.

"Hello, comrade, we would like four bowls of broth noodles and one portion of braised chicken with taro."

The cashier was a little girl. When she saw the handsome Li Ze, her face turned red and she didn't know where to turn her eyes.

Li Ze saw that she was not in the right state, so he had to ask again.

"Comrade, how much are the tickets for four bowls of meat soup noodles and a portion of roasted chicken with taro?"

"Ah? Oh!"

The little girl's face turned even redder, and her hands and feet quickly settled the bill.

"Noodle soup costs $[-], braised chicken costs $[-], and I also need a pound of food stamps."

Li Ze took out the money neatly, then came back with the note for picking up the meal and sat down.

"need to wait a while."

Li Manping and others nodded, knowing that cooking would take some time, so they were in no hurry.

After eating, the four of them divided into two groups to go shopping.

Li Manping and her uncle went to the market, while Li Ze and Li Zhao went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

There were only two people there, so Li Yichang told Li Manping not to use that space during this period, especially not to take anything inside.

Li Manping knew that her uncle was doing it for her own good, so she agreed without hesitation. The things in her space were all good, so she was reluctant to give them to white-eyed wolves.

Since it was the Chinese New Year period, the market was quite deserted and there were few sellers, many of which were not sold.

Li Yichang and Li Manping walked back and forth twice before buying a chicken, a few kilograms of wild boar meat, and some dried fruits and vegetables from the mountains.

"Slowly, that's it, go back and see what your brother and the others bought?

Li Manping agreed that in such a big market, there really wasn't much to buy, so being able to buy meat was just luck.

Back at the guest house, the eldest brother and the others have returned. They bought a few more things, but that's about it.

After all, during the Chinese New Year, everything is almost sold out and new goods haven’t been replenished yet.

A few people gathered all the things they bought together, and then divided them among the three families. Good guy, it was a bit awkward.

A family needs one pound of cakes, a piece of meat or chicken, two meters of cloth, five pounds of mountain products and half a pound of sugar.

"Is this too little?"

The three juniors looked at each other and felt a little shabby.

Li Manping did business secretly and was not short of money, Li Ze had a salary and was not short of money, and Li Zhao's family had money and was not short of money, so it was quite awkward to see the small pile of things on the table.

They really didn't mean it. Even now, even if you have money, you can't buy anything.

"How about... let's go to other supply and marketing stores?"

Li Manping suggested that if I go to visit relatives with this little thing, will I get scolded?

"No, these are enough. Bringing these to the door is just a courtesy, not to feed them."

Li Yichang made the final decision.

The eldest sister will not say it, no matter how much you give, it will not be enough. As for his two daughters, they are married to very good families, and they are not bad at 01:30.

The three little ones saw that he had made up his mind and it was hard to refute, so okay, he had the final say.

The next day, the four of them all got up early, put their things separately in their backpacks, and set out after each person carried one on his back.

They planned to go to Aunt Li's house first to see how she was doing, and then leave after saying a few words.

Since only Li Yichang among the four people remembered the route, he went ahead and led a few people around.

Finally, when several people were spinning around in dizziness and couldn't find the north, Li Yichang stopped in front of a very, very dilapidated small courtyard.
