Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Their family returned to the county seat early on the fourth day of the new year.

Li Minghua and Liu Chunzhi kept their faces gloomy because they couldn't agree on their marriage. The affairs of the Wang family made them very depressed this year.

Before Li Wei entered the house, he heard bursts of pungent smoke coming from Li Jianping's house. How much initiative and passiveness her elder brother had in this marriage, I'm afraid Li Wei can't tell. She stood at the door thinking for a moment, and knocked on the door. After a while, a decadent voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

"Big brother, it's me!"

Li Jianping came up and opened the door. As expected, a lot of cigarette butts were thrown on the ground because of the smell of smoke. Li Wei frowned and said, "Do you want to choke yourself to death if the doors and windows don't open?" She said hurriedly to help open the windows.

Li Jianping sat back on the chair where Jianbo used to sit, with his legs placed high on the desk, the two legs were folded together, and the frowning brow seemed to be able to trap flies.

Li Wei opened all the windows and left the door unclosed. The air from outside was able to flow in to dissipate some of the choking smell in the house.

"Close the door, I don't want them to come in." Li Jianping told his sister, but he sat still.

"My parents are all out, don't you know?"

Li Jianping knows where.

Seeing her older brother's decadence, she couldn't help but think of her second brother. Recalling Li Jianbo's abnormality at that time, she regretted that she could not accompany her to talk to her second brother when she was confused. Now that the eldest brother is like this, she can no longer leave it alone.

Li Wei picked up a stool and sat down in front of Li Jianping.

"Brother, actually you can't let go of Magnolia, right?" Li Wei felt that the opening sentence was a bit bad.

Li Jianping glanced at his younger sister and said, "Can't let it go? What can't let it go? Is there only one Wang Yulan in this world? I can't ask for a wife without her?"

"If you can want to drive, why do you shut yourself up and hide in the house and smoke?"

"I..." Li Jianping was speechless for a while, but he still stubbornly said: "It's no big deal."

"Big brother, although this is your business, it’s not suitable for me to be a younger sister to interfere too much, but I don’t want to see you depressed. My second brother had this situation before. Now I want to come and regret it, why didn’t I give him more It’s comforting, I can’t even talk to him now.”

After hearing this, Li Jianping turned his head and glanced at his sister. He reached out and touched her head, and said, "You and Jianbo have always been very close. After he left, besides his mother, you are the most sad, right?"

"But I know this is the result of his careful consideration. It is a good thing to go outside and I am not sad."

Li Jianping smiled and said: "He will come back again. He is not the kind of white-eyed wolf that our dad said. It's just that no one knows when he will come back. We just wait for it."

"I always believe that my second brother will come back."

Li Jianping finally smiled: "Jianbo is a smart person who sees farther than any of us. Think about it last year when he spent the New Year with us, and now it should be happy to return to his biological mother."

Obviously, I'm here to enlighten my eldest brother, how can I say to my second brother? Li Wei said again: "Big brother cheer up earlier, you make parents feel even more sad. In my opinion, marriage is still about fate. If big brother really... if you can't let her go, find a time to look again. Look at her and make it clear what should be said. I don't want my big brother to leave any regrets in the future."

Without leaving any regrets for the future, Li Jianping listened. He put out the cigarette **** in his hand, and he didn't want to regret missing someone in the future.

Taking advantage of the fact that the shop hasn't opened in the past few days, Li Jianping plans to go back to Yongning again and will be back the same day he leaves. He didn't tell anyone the next day. He wore a dark brown cotton jacket that he liked and paired with snow-white travel shoes, and got in the car back to Yongning.

When he was in the car, he suddenly felt a little nervous, and he passed by without saying hello, and he didn't know if he could see anyone. The Wang family didn't have a phone. He also had a plan in his heart. Now that the two families fell out, he went straight to the door. I was afraid that even Magnolia would not be able to see each other at home, let alone speak. He already had a good idea.

After shaking in the car for nearly forty minutes, the car finally stopped in Yongning Town. He didn't enter the village directly after getting off the car. After walking around the street, he quickly found an acquaintance, the big dragon driving a tractor in the village.

He handed Dalong a pack of cigarettes and briefly talked about the situation with Dalong. Dalong had been a brother with Jianping before. After hearing what Jianping said, he immediately agreed.

"Okay, I'll bring you the words. As for whether she will come or not, I can't guarantee."

Jianping gratefully said to him: "Excuse me, you helped me run all the way."

After the dragon had left, Li Jianping entered a small teahouse at the crossroads of the town. He ordered a pot of crude tea and a dish of fried peanuts and slowly waited for Wang Yulan to come.

Li Jian looked at the watch on his wrist from time to time. The pointer turned a little bit. This hour seemed to him as long as ten years.

An hour later, Wang Yulan finally appeared at the door of the tea house. Li Jianping saw that she was finally here, and came over and pulled her into the inner position and sat down opposite him.

"It's impossible for us anymore. What are you doing to see me?" Wang Yulan had a stern face since she entered the door, and she was very upset now.

"The matter between us should be explained clearly. I don't want to regret that I missed it in the future."

When Wang Yulan heard this, her heart moved slightly. She raised her eyes, her eyes gleaming, full of expectation.

"Brother Li, can we still be together?"

Li Jianping had a brief silence. He was 21 years old this year. He was late in his children's affairs. Li Jianping could not describe the mood of liking a person. He just feels that he and Yulan owe an explanation, and there has not been a satisfactory end to this matter.

"Magnolia, do you like me?"

Wang Yulan nodded without thinking.

Li Jianping asked again: "How do you like it?"

Asking a girl to answer these words, Wang Yulan was a little bit hard to speak, she became a little twisted, blushing, she did not dare to look at Li Jianping's eyes again: "I just want to live with you and live a lifetime."

"what do you like about me?"

"..." Wang Yulan thought Li Jianping was good, but she really couldn't tell what she liked him.

"I haven't read many books, I don't have a high level of education, I don't have a strong sense of responsibility, and I am not that strong. In fact, I am a jerk."

"Then do you like me?" This is probably the second time Wang Yulan asked Li Jianping such words. Last time Li Jianping replied that he did not hate it. This time Li Jianping hesitated. He considered for a long time and said, "Perhaps."

"Then you take me away. We can go anywhere. We will come back in two years. They will have to agree if they don't agree to our marriage." Wang Yulan got up, and she said her thoughts.
