A few moments later, Luo Jianzhang and the others said goodbye and left, and Li Nan also drove away from the hospital with his dad and mum.
Looking at the back of the BMW 8 series leaving, Cao Dafu and Qi Xiumei both had complicated faces.
“Good nephew, we’ve really got a good nephew, hahaha,” Cao Dafu said joyfully.
“Look at the way you treated Li Nan in the ward, it’s not bad that he didn’t give you small shoes to wear,” Qi Xiumei said.
In the past, because Cao Dafu was the breadwinner of the family, he had no say in the family, and Qi Xiumei did not even dare to refute his words.
Today, because of Li Nan, Qi Xiumi felt that her back was much straighter and her words were stiffened.
Being reprimanded by Qi Xiumi, Cao Dafu did not dare to get angry, but smiled.
“How could I have known that this nephew of yours was so powerful?”
To be honest, Cao Dafu was really a bit scared. If Li Nan had tripped him up a little bit just now, then his big order would definitely have been completely yellow.
Now that he has not only got the order, but will have such a big order every year in the future, Cao Dafu can hardly wait to offer his nephew as if he were the God of Wealth.
“And you’re also really bad, you have to take these old clothes to your sister, just these rags, you don’t even want to wear them but still force them to others, this time it’s embarra*sing,” Cao Dafu also said.
When Cao Dafu said this, Qi Xiumei also blamed herself, and she felt that it was not honorable to give away old clothes.
“Well, from now on, we must hold on to our nephew’s thigh, with such a big tree, we will definitely be prosperous in the future,” Cao Dafu said with a look of expectation.
“That’s right, it seems we should really get to know my sister’s family more in the future, before we get rusty.” Qi Xiumei sighed.
“Right, isn’t Cao Ke coming back from Yanjing in the next couple of days, let him come and have fun with Li Nan and make good relations.” Cao Dafu suggested.
“That’s a good idea let’s do it,” Qi Xiumei said with a delighted face.
Naturally, Li Nan was not aware of these words between his sister-in-law and her husband.
After leaving the hospital, Li Nan drove his father and mother to the Mei Xiang Peninsula.
They had been living in a small, dilapidated house at home, which was not only small in size, but also very dilapidated because it was in disrepair, and the house always smelt musty and even leaked when it rained.
To buy a new and spacious house has always been a problem for Li Kangning and his family, but unfortunately, the high property prices of 20,000 to 30,000 per square metre in Longcheng in the past two years have deterred them.
Now that Luo Jianzhang has finally given away such a new house, they certainly want to take a look at it first.
The Plum Fragrance Peninsula is considered a medium to high-grade district and uses a full underground parking model, with no parking allowed above ground for the entire district.
So, Li Nan could only park the BMW in the underground car park before he brought his parents to the ground again.
When Li Kangning and Qi Xuemei arrived at the ground level, they both lit up.
They saw that the entire Plum Fragrance Peninsula was a beautiful and scenic area, with greenery and beautiful flowers everywhere.
Moreover, the reason why the Plum Fragrance Peninsula is called the Plum Fragrance Peninsula is also because the main theme of this community is plum blossom.
The whole community is filled with plum blossoms in full bloom at the moment, and the clean roads and tidy buildings are just like a beautiful picture scroll.
Seeing the clean neighbourhood and the charming scenery in front of them, Li Kangning and Qi Xuemei could hardly believe that it was real, that they could really live in such a beautiful neighbourhood in the future.
Li Nan was naturally very clear about his father’s and mother’s problems with the house, and when he saw the complicated look on their faces, he knew what was on their minds.
“Okay, let’s not stand still, let’s go and see what our new home looks like”, Li Nan said in order to distract his parents from getting too emotionally involved.
When Li Nan said this, Li Kangning and Qi Xuemei finally came back to their senses from what they had been contemplating.
“Okay, let’s go,” said Li Kangning forcefully.
Following the number on the key, Li Nan and his father and mother searched along the road in the neighbourhood.
At that moment, a bag of drinks bottles fell off an old rickshaw in front of them and tumbled to the ground.
The rider was an old man in his sixties, dressed in rags and covered in dust, and at a glance, it was clear that he was a rag-picker who earned his living by scavenging.
When the old man heard that the bottle had fallen, he hurriedly stopped his car and got down from the car to pick up the bottle from the ground in a panic.
At that moment, when Lai Kangning saw the old man scavenging in front of him, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
“Old Zhou, how is it you?”
When the old man called Old Zhou saw Li Kangning, he was first stunned, and then a look of surprise also appeared on his face.
“Old Li, it’s actually you, hahaha”
With that, the two men greeted each other, completely looking as if they were old friends reuniting after a long time.
During the greetings, Li Nan had also heard out that this Old Zhou, as it turned out, was someone whom his father, Li Kangning, had met during the time when he was making a living by collecting rags, and at that time, he had not taken care of Li Kangning, and the two had a very good relationship.
However, later on, because of his health, Li Kangning stopped collecting rags, so they had fewer opportunities to meet each other.
But although they saw each other less, the relationship between the two old friends was not rusty and they were still very warm when they met again.
“Xiao Nan, this is your Uncle Zhou, hurry up and say hello,” Li greeted.
“Hello, Uncle Zhou,” Li Nan greeted with a smile.
“You’re Li Nan, I’ve often heard your father talk about you before, now you’ve grown into a man, haha,” Old Zhou said laughingly.
To be honest, while seeing someone like Old Zhou, Li Nan felt comfortable because he smiled plainly, at least he wouldn’t look down on people like those people like his sister-in-law and the others.
“Old Zhou, you’re really getting old, your craft is not even up to scratch anymore, haha,” said Li Kangning jokingly, pointing at these bottles scattered on the ground.
“I’m not going to lie, I can even wet my shoes when I relieve myself now.” Old Zhou said jokingly.
But just as he said that, Old Zhou suddenly remembered something, “Oh, I’m so sorry, I forgot that my sister-in-law is still here, look at my broken mouth.”
“It’s alright.” Qi Xuemei waved her hand with a bitter smile.
“Well, who wouldn’t say anything about you, come on, Li Nan, let’s help your Uncle Zhou pick up the bottle.” Lai Kangning greeted.
“Okay.”
Li Nan said and started picking up the bottle.
“How can I be so embarra*sed about this.” Old Zhou had an embarra*sed look on his face.
“Look at you, why are you still polite with me.” Li Kangning said, and also bent down to pick up the bottle.
And just then, a voice suddenly came over.
“What’s the matter with you guys? You’ve got bottles all over the place, you’re blocking the road.
A fat middle-aged woman with curly hair was standing behind Li Kangning on her electric bicycle, with an impatient expression on her face.
“Sorry for the delay, we’ll pick it up soon.” Lai Kangning said with an apologetic face.
“Yo, isn’t this Old Lai,” the fat woman was a little surprised to see Lai Kangning.
“So it’s Mrs Miao.” Lai Kangning also recognised the other party at once.
Not only Li Kangning, but also Li Nan recognized this woman, who was an old neighbour in Li Nan’s hutong, only that she had moved away a few years ago, and unexpectedly lived in this Mei Xiang Peninsula.
It seems that today is really a coincidence that I have bumped into two old acquaintances one after another just after arriving at the Meixiang Peninsula.
However, Li Nan has never had a good feeling towards this Mrs. Miao because this woman is a typical snob and has always looked down on the family.
Once when Li Nan and her sister were small, she was even scolded by her in the hutong for a whole day because she had accidentally soiled her clothes.
“What’s the matter, Lao Li, you’re still collecting rags, and with your wife and children too,” Mrs. Miao said with a light hum and a bitter laugh.
“That’s just as well, I’m about to sell my rags, to whomever I sell them to anyway, so I’ll sell them to you for a bargain. Mrs. Miao said and then tried to lead Li Kangning to her home.
