Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 153 Yu Li Returns Home

The next morning, Li Ping'an took Yu Li's three big bags to the dock.

When he was almost there, he put all those things into the space.

When Li Ping'an arrived at the dock, he saw Old Zhao directing people to make preparations.

"Captain Zhao, we meet again!"

Yes, this old Zhao was the captain when Li Pingan returned last year.

It's just that this time we used a bigger ship.

When Old Zhao saw Li Ping'an, he hurried over and said, "Boss Li, why are you here? We haven't seen each other for a while."

Li Pingan smiled and gave Lao Zhao a cigarette, saying, "It seems that you are doing well now. The boat has become much bigger."

Old Zhao was holding a cigarette in his mouth, with a smile on his face like an old chrysanthemum.

"That's the good leadership of our company. Now those small boats are almost out of business. We have more and more large ships. This one of mine used to sail internationally, and now it's under my management."

"That's good. I will be the one to take over the goods delivered to Tianjin Port this time. We will work together again then."

After hearing this, Old Zhao quickly replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely arrange everything. It's a pleasure to work with you."

Li Pingan nodded and said, "But I'm sorry to trouble you this time. My wife will be going with me. I'll take care of the arrangements when the time comes."

"Okay, no trouble. Mr. Li, you guys can just come over early this afternoon. I'll be leaving around six in the evening."

After explaining everything to Old Zhao, Li Pingan went to the company to explain everything and arrange the work.

In the afternoon, Li Pingan and Yu Li arrived at the dock early.

I followed Lao Zhao onto the boat and looked at the room he had arranged for me.

This time there were two of us, and the boat was much bigger than last time. So the room we arranged for them was a little more spacious. At least the bed was big, and it even had a bathroom.

Old Zhao said, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry to bother you. This is the best room on our ship. Although it's not as good as those luxurious passenger ships, it's quieter."

Li Pingan nodded and said, "Okay, this room is great. Thank you, Captain Zhao."

"Mr. Li, as long as you are satisfied, I will not disturb you anymore. I will have someone notify you when it is time to eat."

After Old Zhao left, Yu Li started to clean up the room.

Li Pingan went over and hugged her waist and said, "Wife, you've worked so hard. It's so troublesome for me to follow you and even go home."

Yu Li also turned around, rested her head on Li Ping'an's shoulder and said, "Ping'an, I'm not tired. As long as I'm with you, I'm happy no matter where I am."

The two hugged each other for a while. Li Pingan went to check the preparations on the ship. Yu Li continued to clean the room.

In the evening, Li Ping'an took Yu Li to the restaurant and had a sumptuous dinner with everyone.

In this way, Li Pingan and Yu Li rocked on the sea for nearly a week before they arrived at Tianjin Port.

What Li Pingan didn't expect was that the person who would meet with him this time was Luo Yongpeng who came last time.

When they met, they both said happily: "Comrade Luo, I didn't expect to see you again. This is so great."

Luo Yongpeng also said happily: "Comrade Li, welcome back again!"

"Okay, Comrade Luo. Since it's you, I'll leave it to you without any worries. Just watch over the unloading here."

"But I still need to borrow a car from you. This time I brought my wife with me. She wants to go home and visit."

Luo Yongpeng did not hesitate and said directly: "Okay, I will arrange someone to take you to drive and issue you a certificate later."

It’s convenient to have acquaintances.

Li Pingan and his team arrived at the dock in the morning, and he received the certificate and the car in the afternoon.

Considering that if they went back now, it would be midnight when they arrived in Sijiu City, Li Pingan and Yu Li stayed in the guesthouse here for one night.

This time their cargo ship will stay here for about five days.

It can be said that time is quite tight, and Li Pingan and his team can only stay in Sijiu City for one or two days.

The next morning, Li Pingan drove the car with Yu Li. In the back were Yu Li's three large bags and some other things Li Pingan brought. They set off towards Sijiu City.

The two of them walked and stopped, and it was not until the afternoon that they saw Sijiu City.

After all, Li Ping'an had come back once and didn't feel anything yet.

Yu Li was so eager to go home that her hands were sweating as she held the car.

When we arrived at Yu Li's house, school was already over.

Yu Xiaohu, who was playing at the door, saw a car stop. He looked over subconsciously and saw that it was his sister who got out of the car.

This time, Yu Xiaohu left his playmates behind and ran over directly.

"Sister! Sister! Why are you back?"

When Yu Li saw her brother running towards her, she happily went up to him and hugged him.

"Xiaohu has grown up and become taller. Do you miss your sister?"

Yu Xiaohu nodded. "Sister, I miss you so much! I also miss Haoran and Haoyu!"

Yu Li smiled and touched his little head, saying, "Sister came here by herself this time. Haoran and Haoyu are still young so I didn't bring them here. I'll bring them back to see you when they grow up."

Li Pingan also got out of the car at this time. He touched Yu Xiaohu's head and said, "You only miss your sister and nephew, but not me?"

Yu Xiaohu tilted his head and said, "How can I not miss you, brother-in-law? The pencil case and the little frog you brought me last time were so fun. But it's a pity that the little frog was broken by me. My mother even beat me up for this."

Li Pingan said with a smile: "Okay, I brought you something more fun this time. Let's go home quickly."

After hearing this, Yu Xiaohu jumped up with joy.

"Let's go, brother-in-law, sister. If our mother and the others knew that you are back, they would be so happy."

Li Pingan took the things off the car. He carried two large bags himself, while Yu Xiaohu carried one with great effort.

Yu Li was holding some things that Li Pingan bought.

So the three of them went home with their bags full of things.

Yu Xiaohu could no longer contain his joy.

While running inside, he shouted loudly: "Mom! Mom! Come out quickly and see who is back?"

Yu Xiaohu's shouting not only called out Yu's mother, but also many neighbors.

Seeing Yu Li, Yu's mother ran over in surprise and hugged her daughter.

"Lily, why are you back? Mom missed you so much!"

Yu Li also dropped her things and hugged her mother, tears streaming down her face.

"Mom, I miss you too! I miss you every day!"

Yu Xiaohu saw his mother and sister crying in the yard. So he said, "Mom, my sister and brother-in-law finally came back. Let's go back first, okay? This thing is heavy, I am so tired!"

After hearing this, Yu's mother wiped her tears in embarrassment. She looked at Li Ping'an and said, "Look, I forgot about it because I was so happy. Ping'an, let's go home first."

As he said that, he reached out to help Li Ping'an carry the things in his hand.

Li Pingan smiled and said, "Mom, it's okay. You can help Yu Li carry it, hers is also very heavy. I will carry this one myself."

Yu Li also wiped her tears and held her mother's arm, unwilling to let go.

Yu's mother had no choice but to carry the bag in front of Yu Li and lead them home.

The neighbors nearby also saw Li Pingan and Yu Li and greeted them warmly.

Everyone knows that the son-in-law of the Yu family has gone to another place to be an official. Moreover, he is a high-ranking official. Every time he comes back, he drives a car.

Some people even said that they saw Yu's son-in-law with a security guard at the entrance of the alley, but he was very low-key and sent the security guard away.

There were even rumors that when Yu's son-in-law came, he was escorted by troops and surrounded by plainclothes police for protection.

Of course, Li Pingan was not aware of these rumors.

When he saw someone greeting him, he responded enthusiastically.

Some of these neighbors watched Yu Li grow up, and now when they see Yu Li, they come up to her and talk to her in a friendly manner.

Although Yu Li was anxious to go home and talk to her mother, she could only respond with a smile to the greetings from these aunts and grandmas.

In the end, Yu's mother forcefully dragged Yu Li back home.

When they got home, Yu's mother poured some water for Li Ping'an and the others, then took Yu Li aside and asked her all sorts of questions.

Yu Li also recounted her life after that, but she didn't mention that Li Ping'an remarried Lou Xiao'e.

Looking at the domestic situation, if the news of Li Ping'an marrying a concubine gets out, who knows what will happen?

When she learned that Yu Li had given birth to another little girl, Yu's mother was both happy and sad.

The good news is that Li Ping'an now has both a son and a daughter in his family.

What makes me sad is that I was not there to take care of my daughter during such a big event as giving birth. I don’t know if my daughter has suffered any injustice.

A few people were chatting excitedly when they were suddenly startled by a loud shout from the door.

"Sister! Brother-in-law! Are you back?"

Then, a grown girl rushed over.

Yu Li was hugged.

Yu's mother slapped her in anger and scolded her, "You are so old, and you are still so jumpy! Are you trying to scare me to death? You have no manners at all!"

Yu Li looked at her sister who was almost as tall as herself and said happily, "Haitang, how about it? Are you surprised to see your sister?"

Yu Haitang held Yu Li's hand and said, "What a surprise, sister. You don't know, the last time my brother-in-law came back, he ran away without waiting for me to go home on the weekend. It's so infuriating!"

Li Pingan smiled and said, "You can't blame me. I was on a business trip and had a set schedule. What can I do when you're in school?"

Yu Haitang listened and pouted, "Then won't you come to school to see me? You only have your sister in your heart, and you have never cared about me, your sister-in-law. Humph!"

Mother Yu looked at her weird little daughter and angrily scolded her, "That's enough. Your brother-in-law is busy with work, so he doesn't have time to care about you. Just study hard. You can't even get into a technical secondary school. How dare you talk like that!"

After hearing this, Yu Haitang stuck out her tongue at Li Pingan, feeling somewhat guilty, and continued to act like a spoiled child by holding her sister's arm.

Yu Li was also helpless with this weird sister.

She has been the most favored person in the family since she was a child. Even herself and Yu Xiaohu are not as favored as her.
