Chapter 174 Going Home to Pick Someone Up
Three days later, Li Kangri returned home again. When he came to the door, he saw through the crack in the door that the oil lamp was still on in his mother's room, so he knocked on the door and shouted, "Mom, I'm Kangri, open the door quickly!"
Inside the house, Wang Shuixiang heard the sound at the door and said to herself in disbelief, "Is this a hallucination caused by missing my son? How is this possible?"
Just when Wang Shuixiang thought it was an illusion, another familiar voice came, "Mom, open the door, I am fighting against the Japanese."
"Oh, it's not an illusion, my son is back." Wang Shuixiang shouted.
After calling out, Wang Shuixiang immediately got off the kang and ran out without even putting on her shoes.
"Anti-Japanese, is that you?" Wang Shuixiang asked.
"Mom, can't you recognize my voice?" Li Kangri said.
"Squeak!"
After the door was opened, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen. Li Kangri felt around and grabbed his mother's arm.
"Mom, didn't you bring the lantern? It's too dark." Li Kangri said.
"Why are you carrying a lantern? You know how to get to your home with your eyes closed. You go in first and I'll lock the door." Wang Shuixiang said.
After a while, in the room, under the dim oil lamp, Wang Shuixiang looked at her son happily and asked, "Kangri, why did you come back suddenly?"
"Mom, have you forgotten our agreement?" Li Kangri said with a smile.
"Are you saying Yue'er is pregnant?" Wang Shuixiang exclaimed.
"Mom, what you said is true. I am fine, Yue'er is fine too. How could we not get pregnant? We are almost giving birth, so I came to pick you up to take care of our grandson."
Hearing that Wang Yue was about to give birth, Wang Shuixiang was so happy that she immediately put her hands together and prayed, "Oh my, this is so great, ancestors bless us, our Li family will finally have an heir, this is so great, our Li family will finally have an heir."
After the prayer, Wang Shuixiang said, "Anti-Japanese, what will happen to your grandparents if I leave?"
"Together! Didn't we agree on this?" Li Kangri asked doubtfully.
"Oh! Having said that, I'm afraid they two won't want to leave." Wang Shuixiang said worriedly.
"Haha, Mom, let me talk to grandpa about this. Is it appropriate for my son and grandson to not go over since both of them are in Beijing? Don't worry, I'll take care of grandpa's matter." Li Kangri patted his chest and promised.
"Well, it's a pity to waste these things at home." Wang Shuixiang said.
"Mom, we don't mind this little bit. I've told you before, what could be more important than being with our children and grandchildren?" Li Kangri said.
"That's right. I miss Qing He a little bit! Is she okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm eating well and feeling plump." Li Kangri said with a smile.
Just as the mother and daughter were chatting, the door was pushed open and Li Yaozu and his companion came in.
"Kangri, why are you back?" Li Yaozu asked in surprise.
"Grandpa, I'm here to take you to Sijiu City. Yue'er is pregnant, and my mother has to go and take care of her." Li Kangri said.
"What?" Li Yaozu exclaimed, "What did you say?"
"I said, you are going to have a great-grandson, are you happy?"
"Really? Oh, God bless me, I have a great-grandson. It's really the blessing of my ancestors! God bless me. Please wait a moment. I will go to burn some incense for the ancestors." After saying that, Li Yaozu turned around and was about to leave.
"Grandpa, wait, why are you in such a hurry? Don't you see how late it is now? Can't we go up tomorrow? I brought back some meat. Can we go up tomorrow? At least we have to prepare something to eat for our ancestors!" said Li Kangri.
"Well, that's true. Okay, let's do it tomorrow!" Li Yaozu said happily.
"Grandpa, since you are here, let's talk," Li Kangri said, "If my mom goes there, you will have no one to take care of her, so I mean you and grandma go there together. Anyway, there is a place to live and my salary is high, so let's go together, okay?"
After hearing what Li Kangri said, Li Yaozu hesitated. In fact, he missed his son too and really wanted to go, but he felt that he was too old and was afraid that he would die there and never be able to return to his roots.
"Grandpa, what are you thinking about? Don't you want to go?" Li Kangri asked.
"Well, I... I'm old now. It would be terrible if I died outside. How can I bring myself back?" Li Yaozu said.
"What are you thinking about, Grandpa," Li Kangri said unhappily, "I think you will live to be a hundred years old, it's a long way off! Besides, if you really want to come back, ask your son to take you back. He has a big butt, and he'll be there soon!"
"Oh! But I really can't bear to part with these things at home!" Li Yaozu still hesitated.
"So you can't bear to not love your great-grandson, right? He's waiting for you to give him a name. Can you bear to let your great-grandson not see his great-grandson?" Li Kangri said.
"Old man, your grandson is right. I want to go too. Although that little beast is not a good person, I also want to see him a little. How many years has it been? Just think about it." Grandma said, and as she spoke, tears flowed down her face.
"Oh! Okay!" said Li Yaozu.
"Grandpa, that's right. My mother will definitely be worried if you don't go. But you can't ignore my mother if you don't go, right?" Li Kangri said with a smile.
"That's right. My Li family owes your mother too much, so this is the decision." Li Yaozu said.
"Anti-Japanese, then what about your mother-in-law and others?" Wang Shuixiang suddenly asked.
"Mom, I knew you were going to ask. Let's do it together. We will never be separated in the future. Yue'er's salary is high, enough to support them." Li Kangri said.
"Okay, my son is a good man. Yue'er only has one father and mother, so we should take them with us. Otherwise, we can go over and talk about it now." Wang Shuixiang said.
Hearing his mother say this, Li Kangri smiled and said, "I thought so too. Time is tight. Let's deal with it tomorrow and then leave!"
"So fast?" Li Yaozu said.
"Grandpa, you have to leave early or late. Besides, I haven't asked for many days off. You and grandma go and pack up. We can talk about the rest tomorrow." Li Kangri said.
"Okay, but I dare not delay my work. You and your mother go."
After a while, Li Kangri and his mother came to Wang Tianchang's door holding lanterns.
"Knock, knock, knock, my dear relatives, are you asleep? Open the door." Wang Shuixiang knocked on the door.
Inside the room, the Wang family couple had just gone to bed. Wang's mother was a light sleeper. When she heard the knock on the door, she pushed Wang Tianchang next to her and said, "Old man, do you think it's my mother-in-law knocking on the door?"
"In-laws, open the door!"
"Oh, it's true. Go and open the door. It's late at night. Something must have happened. Hurry." Wang Tianchang said as he got up.
After a while, the two opened the door and saw Li Kangri and his mother standing outside.
"Kangri, why are you back? Where is Yue'er?" Wang Tianchang said.
"Haha, Dad, let's talk inside."
"Okay, okay, come in."
After entering the house, Wang Mu was busy pouring water, but Li Kangri stopped her and said, "Mom, don't be busy. You've already drunk it. I'm here to take you to live in Sijiu City. I came here first to inform you that we have to leave tomorrow."
Hearing what Li Kangri said, Queen Mother was delighted and was about to agree, but was stopped by Wang Tianchang.
"Anti-Japanese, is Yue'er pregnant?" Wang Tianchang asked.
"Yes, that's why I asked mom to come over and serve me!" Li Kangri replied.
"Wouldn't it be better for the relative to go alone?" Wang Tianchang said. It was not that he didn't want to go, but he felt it was inappropriate. After all, he was fighting against the Japanese, not a live-in son-in-law.
On the side, hearing what her man said, Queen Mother's face became long and she looked unhappy, but she didn't dare to say anything because the man in the family was the sky.
"Haha, Dad, I know what you are thinking. You are wrong. It's not me who supports you, it's Yue'er. You don't know that Yue'er has a high salary now, over 30 years old, which is more than enough to support you. I can't explain to her if you don't go." Li Kangri said.
"Old man..." Queen Mother said while holding Wang Tianchang's hand.
"Oh, father-in-law, we are all family. Don't think too much. Isn't fighting against the Japanese half your son? If you don't go, I won't go either." Wang Shuixiang tried to smooth things over.
"This...oh! Okay!" said Wang Tianchang.
"Haha, my mother-in-law is right. Since I was young, I have regarded the Anti-Japanese War as my half son, haha!" said the Queen Mother happily.
