Chapter 201 Meeting Ceremony
"Little fat girl?"
Li Manping was speechless after hearing this. She lowered her head and took a look at her now very slender figure.
This eldest brother is not good. He is too incapable of talking. I don’t know what it means to look back on the past.
As beautiful as she is now, how dare she mention the past?
Li Manping rolled her eyes. She knew something from her memory. She was only four years old when her cousin left home. At that time, she was still in childhood and was at her fattest stage.
"Brother, I would be happier if you didn't tell me about my obesity when I was a kid!"
Li Manping slapped away the palm that had been rubbing her head and gave him a big eye roll, thinking she was a kitten or puppy.
"Well, it's my brother's fault. I've been away from home for too long. I only remember my sister when I was little, but forget that my sister is now a beautiful girl."
Li Ze rubbed it again carelessly, looked down at his son holding his thigh, simply picked up his son, and began to teach him to recognize people.
"Mingxi, this is your little aunt, call someone quickly."
Everyone calmed down and their postures became upright. This was a formal recognition of relatives. How could anyone not introduce each other's names first?
The second cousin Li Qing also pushed his children out at the same time and motioned for the two children to call for help.
"Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Mingxi, I am six years old this year."
"Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Li Mingyue, and I am also six years old this year."
"Hello, sister-in-law, her name is also Li Mingyuan. She is the same six years old as my sister."
Three children's voices sounded one after another. Under the command of their biological father, they all first met the little aunt Li Manping.
Li Manping nodded happily, "Okay, great, she has finally separated and is now an elder."
But she also discovered a problem. The children in the second brother's family were about the same age as the eldest brother's family, and the children in the second brother's family seemed to be twins.
"Second brother, Mingyue Mingyuan and the others are actually twins?"
Li Manping was very surprised. She didn't expect that she also had the twin gene.
"Yes, they were born just a few minutes apart, just like me and your eldest brother."
Li Manping then recalled that her aunt's two sons were twins, but she had not cared about them before. She knew the details from her memory and let them go.
"Dad, mother, this is my daughter-in-law Lin Fang, and this is our son Li Mingxi, who was born in February 50."
"Dad, mother, this is my daughter-in-law Zhou Wen, daughter Mingyue and son Mingyuan, born at the end of 49."
Li Yichang and Tang Baozhu were sitting at attention. Tang Baozhu looked at his two sons with his wife and grandson with tearful eyes, nodding and wiping away his tears.
"Okay, everything is okay. You brothers are all capable. You have worked hard outside for many years and have a family. But once you have a family, you are an adult. You must treat them well."
Tang Baozhu looked at her two sons, who were upright and intact, and then looked at her daughter-in-law and grandchildren, with tears rolling down her face.
She was so happy that she couldn't control it!
From her constant tears, Li Manping knew how worried and concerned her aunt had been over the years, and now that she was back, she needed to vent.
"Dad, Mom, we are back. It is our fault that we have worried you for so long. Mom, please stop crying. We still have a long time ahead."
As Li Ze's wife and the eldest daughter-in-law, Lin Fang had a weak relationship with Tang Baozhu, but she couldn't bear to see her mother-in-law being so uncomfortable when they met for the first time, so she quickly pushed her son away and sent him to Tang Baozhu's arms to coax her.
Li Mingxi was also smart. He held Tang Baozhu's arm and started coaxing her while her parents encouraged her.
"Nai, stop crying. If you cry again, I will cry too."
Zhou Wen followed suit and pushed the two children out, surrounding Tang Baozhu and constantly comforting them.
Li Yichang was a man, and he controlled his emotions better after the initial excitement. Looking at his son, daughter-in-law, and three lovely grandchildren talking to his old wife, he started to pick his pockets.
Unfortunately, he had nothing on him now, and his only watch was not suitable as a greeting gift. He looked at his fourth brother Li Yilong for help.
Li Yilong was stunned when he saw it, a gift!Meeting gift?He quickly reached out and touched himself, and sure enough, except for a pack of cigarettes and a few dimes, there was nothing valuable.
What should we do?
He carefully moved to Song Hongmei and whispered a few words into her ear. Then Song Hongmei woke up, took a breath and stood up.
It's over, I was just happy and didn't think of preparing a gift.
Before the formal introduction of relatives began, Song Hongmei hurriedly pulled Yang Qin and Zhao Liyun out of the main room.
"Fourth brother and sister, what's wrong with you? Why did you drag me out?"
Yang Qin walked slowly because she was in the third trimester of pregnancy, so she was supported by two people.
"Second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, we are only happy that Aze and Aqing are back alive and have found a wife, but we forgot to prepare a meeting gift for them, so hurry up and prepare it now!"
Yang Qin was slow to react and was still a little confused, but Zhao Liyun understood it, but it was too late now!
"Time is tight, and we don't have time to prepare other gifts. What should we do now? Is it possible to just give red envelopes? Isn't that not good?"
They buy red paper and cut it into red envelopes every year, and give them to children who come to visit them during the Chinese New Year. Each red envelope is not much, more than a dime or less than two cents, depending on the relationship.
This year’s red paper is also ready!
"It's too late for anything else, so just give me a red envelope! At worst, I'll give it a little more and buy it myself."
It was Zhao Liyun who made the final decision. After making the decision, she helped Yang Qin go to Song Hongmei and his wife's room.
The red paper is all there!
The three of them were busy in the room, cutting red paper and wrapping red envelopes. They had to prepare not only their own red envelopes, but also those of their men. They wanted to give red envelopes to their niece-in-law and grandnephew, and the money in them couldn't be the same.
"Second sister-in-law, how much are the red envelopes for my niece-in-law? How much are the red envelopes for Mingxi and the others?"
Song Hongmei suddenly spoke. You must know that they have to prepare a lot of red envelopes. If there are more red envelopes, they will be afraid that the family will not have enough money.
Zhao Liyun opened her mouth, squirmed twice but still made no sound, yes, how much should I pretend?
"How about 20 yuan for adults and five yuan for children?"
Seeing that they were silent, Yang Qin thought for a while before speaking. This was a lot of money.
Zhao Liyun and Song Hongmei looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"OK, alright."
"Okay! That's it."
After counting the number of people, Zhao Liyun spoke again, feeling a little nervous. She didn't have much money with her, and she didn't know if it would be enough.
"Three and four younger brothers and sisters, we have to prepare the ones for the eldest brother and sister-in-law together. Theirs are a little thicker. The big one costs at least fifty yuan, and the small one costs ten yuan."
"Well, the total cost is 600 yuan. My family only has [-] yuan in cash. How much do you have?"
Song Hongmei suddenly said, she also had to prepare for her parents' share, which would cost twice as much as her sisters-in-law, and her family's money could only be enough.
