Chapter 199 Country bumpkin
"Cousin, is there something wrong with grandma's eyes?" Ever since she knew Si Chengxu was her cousin, Li Xiaoxiao never called him Mr. Si again.
"Yes, some time ago, grandma cried so much about missing aunt that her eyes got damaged. Although she was treated later, the root of the disease remained. Grandma thought she had kept it a secret, but we all knew about it."
Mentioning his grandmother reminded him of his grandfather. It was a pity that his grandfather passed away early and never got to see his aunt again. He still remembered the night his grandfather passed away, he held his hand and said that he must find his aunt.
That's why Si Chengxu went to Jiunu County in person, firstly to fulfill his grandmother's wish, and secondly because he promised his grandfather that he would do his best to find his aunt.
Fortunately, his hard work paid off and he finally found the person.
"I can cure grandma's illness."
"Can you really cure it?" Si Chengxu was once again amazed at Li Xiaoxiao's medical skills.
"I'm sure." Li Xiaoxiao said confidently.
Sure enough, the old lady did not allow Sun to return to Qinghe Village, and wanted her and her family to move to the capital. Sun could not bear to refuse, and after discussing with Xiaoxiao, she agreed.
A mother needs her child, and so does a child need his mother. The love that the old lady gave to Sun was something she had never felt before in the Li family for many years.
So Li Xiaoxiao wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Jiunu County.
After receiving the letter, Li Dahai was surprised at its contents, but he quickly realized that since his family was going to the capital, matters concerning the two shops must be arranged before leaving.
He immediately called Li Ruolan and Li Huawen and asked them if they were willing to go to the capital. The two looked at each other and nodded in unison.
Li Xiaoxiao also mentioned in the letter that Damao has a steady personality, so he should let Damao be the manager of the restaurant and Ergou be the accountant, which Li Dahai agreed with.
Because Ergou is smart and interested in arithmetic, Li Dahai usually teaches him some arithmetic things. Of course, these are all learned from Li Xiaoxue.
Damao and Ergou were extremely excited to hear the news. Originally, they were already very content to be the waiters in the restaurant. They didn't expect that after such a short time, Xiaoxiao actually valued them so much and let them manage the restaurant.
So the two of them secretly made up their minds to do well what Xiaoxiao had arranged. Ergou studied very hard and was able to master it completely in just a few days.
Li Dahai nodded with satisfaction. Young people learn things quickly. He went to Li Huawen's academy and took Li Huawen back. Before leaving, the headmaster specifically told Huawen that he was a good student and should never put down his books no matter where he was in the future.
As for the affairs in the tofu shop, they were all handed over to Li Laosan and his family. Li Laosan was already very skilled in making tofu and had helped out in the tofu shop many times before.
Since the shop was handed over to him for management, he could not just be paid wages. Excluding the raw materials, the money earned would be split 50-50 between the two families.
This made Li Laosan's family very happy. The profit of tofu is very high. Li Xiaoxiao was taking good care of them by letting them do such a good thing.
After explaining all this, Li Dahai took Li Huawen and Li Ruolan to the capital. After several days of bumpy ride, they finally arrived.
Li Xiaoxiao took them to an inn not far from the Marquis' Mansion. It was inconvenient for so many people to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, so she took them to see the old lady the next day.
Li Dahai no longer had the sickly look he had before. He was wearing a navy blue brocade robe with dark patterns. Li Xiaoxiao even combed his hair and put on a white jade crown. It really looked like the real thing.
Looking at his outfit, Li Dahai felt awkward. He was just a farmer, how could he dress like this? Li Xiaoxiao chuckled.
"Dad, my mother is now a young lady from a marquis's mansion. If you still dress the same as before, what if grandma doesn't like you?"
Hearing this, Li Dahai was stunned, then thought that what Li Xiaoxiao said was right. Looking at himself in the mirror, although it felt a little awkward, he did look good, like a young master from a wealthy family.
It’s not that Li Dahai thinks he is good-looking. In fact, he looks quite good. He is not short, neither fat nor thin. He is in his 30s and has never done any heavy work.
In addition, he has been an accountant for such a long time and has read a lot of books, so you can really see that he is a gentleman.
Li Xiaoxiao joked: "Dad, don't worry, Mom will definitely fall in love with you again when she sees you like this."
"Dad, you look so handsome." Li Huawen looked at his father with his eyes shining. He never thought that his father would look so good when dressed up.
Seeing the children say this, Li Dahai's mood also improved. He was a little nervous at first, after all, he was going to the Marquis' Mansion.
Now that they had calmed down a lot, the group quickly arrived at the Marquis' Mansion.
From afar, they saw Sun waiting for them at the gate. Sun's attire today was very different from usual, and she was very pretty. Li Dahai was stunned and couldn't believe that the woman in front of him was his wife.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that he listened to Xiaoxiao's words, otherwise there would be a huge gap between the two of them just in terms of clothing.
Sun saw Li Dahai at first sight. She had never seen him dressed so well. He looked handsome and elegant, like a gentleman.
In addition, the two hadn't seen each other for so many days, and she felt aggrieved and excited, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly.
In front of so many people, Li Dahai wanted to help her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but he stretched out his hand and then quietly retracted it.
"Don't cry, we are all here, and we will never be separated again."
"Come in quickly, mother is waiting for you." Sun nodded and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, urging them to go in quickly.
Just after turning a corner, I saw Wang Qiuhe coming towards me with two maids.
"Sister-in-law." Sun called out hurriedly.
"Hmm, who is this? He looks like a country bumpkin." Wang Qiuhe glanced at Li Dahai and the two children behind him.
This sentence made Sun blush. Just as she was about to explain to her, Li Xiaoxiao spoke before her.
"Aunt, this is my father. He is a genuine farmer. He works from sunrise to sunset and grows crops with his own hands, most of which is used to pay taxes." After a pause, he continued.
"The food you eat is grown by the country bumpkins you look down upon. If you are truly noble, don't eat the food they grow from now on. If you eat it, you are in the same boat with them. What's the difference between you and them? You are just pretending to be noble."
"Well said." Li Xiaoxiao had just finished speaking when she heard the sound of clapping, followed by a clear male voice.
