Chapter 29 Sister and brother meet
Li Changhe and Haiwen thought something had happened and hurried to the front.

Then, I saw a group of people inside moving things out, more than a dozen young men were busy inside and outside.

Rotten wooden boxes, broken cabinets, round tables, wooden stools, etc. were moved out one by one.

"Fellow countryman, what happened to Chen Aiguo?"

At this time, Haiwen asked a villager who was watching the fun nearby.

The villager looked at Haiwen suspiciously. This face looked unfamiliar and he was not from their village.

There is less population mobility these days, so it is still easy to recognize a stranger in the village.

Haiwen also knew this, and explained with a smile: "I am the secretary of the Youth Office of the Red Guard Commune next to us. My name is Haiwen, and I came here to visit a friend."

"Isn't Chen Aiguo's wife an educated youth? We know each other. I came here to see her for something!"

"Oh, the Youth League Office. Got it!"

The villagers nodded and started gossiping.

"It's nothing, actually. The Chen family just moved and built a new house at the west entrance of the village. They said before that it was built for the second family, Aiguo and his wife, and they coaxed the second family to contribute money and labor."

"Now, they're changing their mind and won't let Aiguo and his wife live there anymore. The old couple wants to move in now!"

"Aiguo is having a fight with his parents!"

The man briefly explained the situation and someone nearby immediately spoke up.

"I think they should make a fuss. Uncle Chen is biased and wants to move with the third child. He wants to give the new house to the third child."

"Brother Aiguo was fooled by Uncle Chen. He spent money and effort in vain."

A younger woman nearby also picked up the phone.

"In the final analysis, Brother Aiguo is honest, and Sister Aiguo is an educated youth from another place, and there is no one here to support her."

"If you had a brother from your mother's side, would you let an old woman bully you like this?"

At this time, the people around started talking and speaking at once.

Haiwen looked at Li Changhe worriedly at this time, but saw that Li Changhe's face was calm.

Afterwards, Li Changhe carried his travel bag and walked into the courtyard.

"Hey, how did that person get in?"

"My goodness, that man is wearing really nice clothes, all Dacron."

"Look at his wrist. He's wearing a watch, right? It's a steel watch!"

“Is this a cadre from the region?”

The group of people naturally also saw Li Changhe walking in. His extraordinary temperament did not match the people here.

As he took action, a group of sharp-eyed people naturally discovered the novelty and began to discuss it.

"Comrade Secretary, who was that person just now?"

The fellow villager that Haiwen had talked to before asked Haiwen curiously at this time.

Hai Wen smiled and parked his bike there: "That's the brother of my patriotic sister-in-law you mentioned. He's from Beijing!"

"My friend, I'll put my bike here. Can you keep an eye on it for me?"

"No problem, put it here and I'll watch it for you!"

Knowing Li Changhe's identity, the villager immediately became interested.

Chen Aiguo's wife's brothers from her natal family came, and they were from the capital.

What does this mean?
There’s something exciting to watch!

There is usually nothing going on in the village, and people only gossip about the daily lives of their children.

Li Changhe walked into the yard. In the middle of the yard was a main room. Although it was called a main room, it was actually made of mud.

On both sides of the main house, there is a low earthen house.

At the door of the earthen house on the east side, a young man was squatting there, looking depressed and not helping.

In the big mud house in the middle, people were constantly moving things out.

Soon, these people saw Li Changhe blocking the door.

They were a little surprised by the way Li Changhe was dressed. He didn't look like an ordinary person, but more like a cadre from above.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?"

Old man Chen, who was giving orders, also saw Li Changhe at this time. He walked up to him with a pipe in his mouth and asked curiously.

"I'm looking for Li Xiaojun!"

Li Changhe said calmly.

"Who is Li Xiaojun?"

Old man Chen asked subconsciously, and then suddenly reacted.

Li Xiaojun seemed to be the name of his second daughter-in-law. The young man squatting at the door heard what Li Changhe said and raised his head in surprise. He was Chen Aiguo.

"Uncle Chen, this is Aiguo's sister-in-law's brother from her mother's family. He came from Yanjing!"

"Patriotic sister-in-law, patriotic sister-in-law"

"Your brothers from your mother's family are here to see you!"

The woman who was watching the fun at the door shouted excitedly into the house, almost unable to hold back the sneer on her face.

Old man Chen was stunned.

What the hell?

My daughter-in-law’s brothers from her natal family?

Weren't they demoted?

At the same time, the door behind Chen Aiguo suddenly opened, and a young woman with red eyes walked out of the room.

Following her was a little girl of about three or four years old, timidly hugging her mother's calf.

The appearance of the young woman instantly matched the image in Li Changhe's memory.

This disheveled young woman was his elder sister Li Xiaojun.

Li Xiaojun was looking at Li Changhe with trembling body at this time. The tall and handsome young man in front of her was her younger brother. Although he had grown taller, he had also become more handsome.

“Long River.”

Li Xiaojun trembled and shouted Li Changhe's name in disbelief.

Li Changhe nodded: "Sister!"

The calm word "sister" immediately broke down Li Xiaojun's defenses.

Li Xiaojun strode up to Li Changhe, then threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

All the suffering, grievances and depression she had endured over the years finally poured out like a rushing flood the moment she saw Li Changhe.

Li Changhe did not say anything, but just gently comforted Li Xiaojun's shoulders, allowing her to express the sadness in her heart.

"Mother."

"Mother."

The little girl following behind Li Xiaojun also came up at this time. Seeing her mother crying bitterly in front of Li Changhe, she also hugged Li Xiaojun and cried loudly.

"Okay, sis, stop crying!"

"The baby started crying!"

Li Changhe patted Li Xiaojun's shoulder and spoke soothingly.

Li Xiaojun finally got up from Li Changhe's shoulder and looked at her daughter with red eyes.

Li Changhe squatted down at this time, opened the travel bag, and took out an exquisite box from it.

This is a box of high-end Shanghai White Rabbit milk candy, which Shen Yuxiu bought specifically for her granddaughter before leaving.

Li Changhe opened the box, took out a candy from it, peeled off the blue and white candy wrapper, revealing the milky white candy inside.

"Hey dear, try it, this is the White Rabbit candy that grandma bought for you!"

The little girl opened her mouth hesitantly and licked it. It was sweet!

Then she opened her mouth and let Li Changhe put the candy into her mouth.

Li Changhe picked her up and picked up the travel bag with his other hand.

"Sister, let's go inside and talk!"

Li Changhe spoke softly to Li Xiaojun. Li Xiaojun nodded and led Li Changhe directly into the small house.

At the door, when Li Changhe approached, Chen Aiguo subconsciously stepped aside.

Li Changhe walked in without even looking at him.

As for the old man Chen in the yard and Li Xiaojun's mother-in-law Chen Wang who came out after hearing the noise, Li Changhe didn't even bother to pay any attention to them.

When the people outside who were watching the show saw Li Changhe and Li Xiaojun walk into the house, they were immediately excited.

"That's White Rabbit Milk Candy, right?"

"Yes, it's White Rabbit Milk Candy. I saw the one in an iron box at the county supply and marketing cooperative last time. It costs twelve yuan a box."

"It's no use having money, you need a ticket. If you don't have a ticket, we won't sell it to you."

"It seems that Sister Aiguo's family is not simple!"

"Of course. Look at that brother from my mother's family. He's wearing Dacron, leather shoes, and a watch. His clothes cost hundreds of dollars. How can he be from an ordinary family?"

"Stop arguing, the captain of the brigade is here!"
