Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Li Wei's adaptability has always been good. She has become accustomed to the life of this era in less than half a month since she traveled, and now it took only a day or two to completely adapt to the campus life which is completely different from that of the girls' private school.

Before that, most of her eyes were full of disdain, or regarded her as a joke, but when the transcript was released, they really hit those people in the face.

Li Wei knew what he was doing and what he wanted. She spends all her thoughts on studying, she is very low-key in school, never makes her head strong, quietly, and doesn't talk to people around her very much. Even Zhu Haiyan, who used to go in and out with her before, was naturally estranged. She had few friends in school.

Li Wei also didn't have the time to manage her friendship. In her opinion, these were unnecessary things. She knew that all she could rely on was herself.

Therefore, gradually everyone felt that Li Wei became more and more withdrawn, exuding a cold temperament, and no one dared to approach her actively.

After finally finishing the last class, Li Wei was already hungry, got up and packed up his things to go home for dinner.

When Li Wei finally walked home, the family had just experienced a fierce quarrel.

Li Minghua smoked in the hall, his face was depressed, while the other was hiding in the kitchen secretly wiping tears.

Li Wei was taken aback, thinking what was going on.

Seeing her daughter's return, Liu Chunzhi secretly wiped the corners of her wet eyes and stood up and said, "Wei Wei is back. Please help to set the fire, let's cook."

Liu Chunzhi then got up to wash his hands, ready to start cooking.

"What happened?" Li Wei is still not used to calling his parents.

While washing the rice pot, Liu Chunzhi said to his daughter, "Your eldest brother left with a simple letter."

"Where are you going?"

"He said in the letter that he would go into the city and take the money he saved."

"How much money did you take?" Li Wei asked, did Li Jianping still steal money from the house?

"About two hundred yuan, all of which was saved by his help in the brick and tile factory. Weiwei, do you think your eldest brother will mess around with this money?"

Recklessly? Li Wei said that Li Jianping was only 18 years old. At this age, many people had married and had children in Daqi, but in this era, most of them were still big children and did not have much self-control. She was really not sure about Li Jianping. Will you take the money to squander it?

She has been in the city once, and if she wants to eat, drink and have fun, she will run out after a few days.

"Big brother, he is quite stable, so he shouldn't be squandered. Didn't he say that he is going to the city to find something to do? Maybe he will really find something, he shouldn't be squandering." Li Wei said to himself. They all feel emboldened.

"He just didn't listen to persuasion. He suddenly came like this. Your dad blames me."

"What is your fault?"

"Blame me for not holding him. I didn't know that he made such a fuss for me. If there was a little thing in this family, he knew to talk about me."

Liu Chunzhi babbled the rice out of the pot, and Li Wei helped burn the fire. Liu Chunzhi was busy cutting vegetables.

Li Minghua had finished smoking a cigarette, and walked to the kitchen door and said: "I'm not going to eat anymore. I rushed to the city to see where the kid is, and can I bring him back. Pay it back on the kiln With so much work waiting to be done, Lao Zhang also said that his wages will start to increase this month."

Liu Chunzhi said: "Go, don't scold him after you find him, and tell him well that he is a stubborn person. The more you yell at him, the more he will fight against you."

Li Minghua didn't say anything before pushing his bicycle and leaving.

The mother and daughter cooked the meal, Liu Chunzhi fried three dishes, and left some of the food to wait for Li Minghua and Li Jianbo to come back to eat.

After the meal, Li Wei naturally got into his room.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when Li Jianbo returned home. Only Li Wei was at home. Li Wei helped him heat up the food as usual. Li Jianbo first cared about Li Wei's academic performance.

Li Wei told the truth, Li Jianbo smiled and patted Li Wei's head gently and said: "Look, as long as you are willing to work hard, it will be effective. By the way, why are you alone at home, mom?"

Li Wei said: "I don't know."

"Oh." Li Jianbo didn't ask too much. After eating, Li Wei took the book and asked him some mathematical problems. Li Jianbo patiently explained it for her.

Li Minghua came back before dark, and when he got home, he cursed and said: "This little bunny has grown up, dare to yell at me."

It seems to be persuaded to no avail.

Li Jianbo felt that something was wrong and asked, "What happened?"

Li Minghua said, "We will leave tomorrow morning and call your eldest brother back."

"Big brother... is he going to work in the city?" Li Jianbo was not surprised at all.

"Yeah, you persuaded him well. He didn't even take care of him outside alone. People here said that he would increase his wages. What's the matter if he suddenly ran away here." Li Minghua felt that Jianbo might be able to persuade Jianping. .

However, Jianbo commented slightly, but calmly said: "Dad, you don't have to worry about your eldest brother. It's a good thing that he can go out like this. After learning some experience, maybe he can use it."

Li Minghua and his wife were dumbfounded, but Jianbo didn't object? And judging from his calmness, he knew about it a long time ago?

Even Li Wei stared at Li Jianbo blankly, and then said for a long time: "Did Brother discuss with you?"

Li Jianbo didn't deny it. He nodded and smiled: "I thought my parents knew it, so I didn't tell you anything in particular."

Li Minghua quit: "You brothers are all in collusion. Jianping is just a child who hasn't grown up. Isn't this just a mess?"

"The eldest brother is over 18, and he has long since ceased to have children. He knows what he is doing. The two might as well give him some time to see if he can make a name for himself. It is impossible for our family to grow land for a lifetime."

Li Minghua thought about what farmers could do without farming. Jianbo looked smart, but he was actually stupid.

Turning back, Li Wei asked Li Jianbo quietly: "Second brother, do you have any thoughts about this family?"

Li Jianbo said, "I have thoughts, but I just want to have a better life at home. Mom, don't work so hard. Brother, go the right way and don't make any mistakes. For you, the main thing now is to study hard and don't make trouble for mom. That's it."

Li Jianping was instigated by Li Jianping to go out to work, because he knew that Li Jianping got into trouble at the brick and tile factory this year, and after a dispute with someone, he took action. Li Jianping was young and energetic and beat the man into the hospital. Later, he went in for the crime of intentionally hurting others.

After I came out again, there was no improvement in my whole life.

Because of the young sister's early death, the eldest brother went in again. After two blows, Liu Chunzhi couldn't afford to fall ill. One day, he fainted in the farmland. After being sent to the hospital for careful examination, he was found to be terminally ill.

This is Li Jianbo's greatest regret. He finally returned to his youth and wanted to change the tragedy at home.
