How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 374 Return to the Imperial Capital and Arrange

The reason why Nie Weiwei said this was not because she really thought the village was cold, but she was just looking for a reason to make them accept the money.

"That won't cost that much. Buying a house in the county town, including renovations, would cost about 500,000 yuan, and the family still has some savings."

"Mom, you know that Li Le is not short of money. He just knew you wouldn't want it, so he gave you 10 million. Otherwise, he would give more. Just accept this money and think of it as retirement money for you and Dad."

"No, that's too much."

Nie Weiwei is helpless now! She can only say: "Mom, even if you don't consider you and Dad, you have to consider your sister and brother, right?"

"Ah! This..."

The mother-in-law didn't know what to say this time. Yes! She didn't need the money, but as my daughter said, if she didn't consider herself, she had to consider her children.

The two of them are about to go to college, which costs a lot of money. Also, buying a house and getting married after graduation will also require a lot of money.

"Okay, I'll keep this money for now. When your brothers and sisters get married, I'll give you the money if there's any money left."

"Okay." Nie Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief.

Once my mother takes the money, there is no reason for her to return it. Even if she wants to return it, I won't take it.

At this time, my father-in-law came over carrying a woven bag and said, "Open the trunk."

"Okay." Li Le agreed and quickly opened the trunk.

The thing is not valuable, but it is the old man’s kindness, so I must accept it, otherwise it will disappoint the old man.

There were two large woven bags, containing vermicelli made by my father-in-law himself, as well as some local specialties.

"Mom and Dad, we're leaving." Nie Weiwei said to her parents.

"Let's go, let's go, drive slowly on the road."

"Ok!"

"Wait." The father-in-law shouted and ran into the house.

And he ran out again soon with two packs of cigarettes in his hands. Needless to say, it was the Chinese Dragon.

"Take this cigarette back and let Xiaole smoke it. It's a waste to keep it." The father-in-law handed the cigarette to Nie Weiwei and said.

"Dad, we have a lot of cigarettes at home, you can keep them for yourself!" Nie Weiwei said quickly.

"You kid, no matter how many you have at home, you have to spend money to buy them! Besides, it's a waste to give them to me, take them back quickly."

"Okay then, but don't smoke those cheap cigarettes anymore. They're not good for your health."

"Okay, I get it, let's go!"

Nie Weiwei knew very well that her father would not listen to her, and that things would probably remain the same.

As for those Da Zhonghua cigarettes that we brought back, I guess my father couldn’t bear to smoke them.

But this can only be changed slowly. It is impossible to change it all at once.

But this was not a problem for her. She would send two packs home every two weeks, refusing to believe that her father would never smoke.

There is nothing we can do about this. The courier can only deliver two items at a time, not one more.

"You two, you have to listen to your parents at home. If I find out that you are not listening, I will show you how I will deal with you when I get back." Nie Weiwei said to her younger brother and sister.

"I understand, sister. Don't worry, we will be obedient."

"That's good. If you are obedient, your brother-in-law will reward you then."

Hearing their sister say this, the two of them nodded and said, "Yes! We will be obedient."

"Okay, let's leave first."

"Let's go! It's cold now and the road is not easy to walk on."

"it is good."

"Goodbye uncle and aunt, and goodbye to you two too."

"Goodbye, brother-in-law."

Li Le started the car, looked at Nie Weiwei who was reluctant to leave the passenger seat, and said, "How about you stay and spend the New Year with your uncle and aunt?"

"No, let's go."

To be honest, Nie Weiwei really wanted to, but she was worried that it would be unsafe for Li Le to drive back alone.

This is more than a thousand kilometers! It's easy to get sleepy without someone to talk to.

"OK then!"

After saying hello again, Li Le started the car and left.

Because it was not yet six o'clock and it was still dark, there was no choice. If I didn't leave at this time, I would not know when I would get home.

Besides, the roads we drive on now are all rural and county roads. It will be daylight when we get on the highway, so we can drive faster.

As for before getting on the highway, it’s the same whether it’s day or night, you can’t go any faster.

At 11:30 in the morning, after driving for six hours, Li Le drove the car into the service area.

In these six hours, we only drove less than 600 kilometers. There was no other way, mainly because the speed was too slow before we got on the highway.

Because they didn't bring any lunch, the two went to the service area and bought two boxes of instant noodles, as well as some ham and beef jerky.

Yes, Li Le would rather eat instant noodles than the food in the service area.

After dinner, I didn’t even take a rest and set off again. I hurried and finally got home at 8:30 in the evening.

This is already very good. In the middle of winter, I ran more than 1,400 kilometers in thirteen hours.

Li Le drove the car into the yard, but before he parked the car, Li Qingcheng ran out of the house.

The call had already been made before returning, so Li Qingcheng did not rest but was waiting for them.

Of course, she also cooked the meal and waited for them to eat when they came back. As for whether she cooked it herself, I don’t know.

I don't think so, because Li Qingcheng is excellent in all aspects except cooking, where she is totally clueless.

"You guys are back? You must be exhausted! Come inside and have some rest, then have dinner."

"Yeah!" Li Le nodded.

"Sister Qingcheng, thank you." Nie Weiwei came down and took Li Qingcheng's hand and said.

"What are you thanking me for? Isn't this what I should do?" After saying that, he pulled Nie Weiwei into the house.

Li Le could only follow behind helplessly. As for the things in the trunk, let's talk about it tomorrow! He was really hungry now.

Yes, I just had a box of instant noodles and a few sausages for lunch, and I didn’t even feel full.

Because instant noodles don’t taste good either!

It has been more than eight hours since noon. How can I not be hungry?

Back in the house, Li Qingcheng said, "Go wash up first, I'll bring out the food."

Li Le and Nie Weiwei went back to the room to wash up. When they came out, Li Qingcheng had just set the table.

With just one glance, Li Le knew that these meals were not made by Li Qingcheng at all. Needless to say, they were bought from a restaurant.

But neither Li Le nor Nie Weiwei said anything.

That night, Li Le worked as a plowing ox and plowed two fields at once.

Silent all night.

Li Le got up early in the morning and felt refreshed.

Nie Weiwei still made breakfast.

While eating breakfast, Nie Weiwei asked, "Husband, when will the store close for the holiday?"

Li Le thought for a moment and said, "You decide for yourself. It's best to do it early so that they can go home early to celebrate the New Year."

"Okay! I understand. I'll give them a day off today while I go to the store."

Li Le thought for a moment and said, "Let's start from tomorrow! Let's give them a day off today, and they can't go back." "Okay!"

"By the way, husband, since we are on holiday, should we drive the cars back as well?"

"Drive back! You don't have to drive there again."

In the past, the car was parked there for internet celebrities to check in, but now that the tobacco and alcohol shop has been put on track, there is no need to park the car there.

"Well! I'll drive it back today."

"Yeah! Let's eat."

After dinner, Nie Weiwei went to the store. Li Qingcheng did not go to the company today.

Because we agreed last night that I would accompany her to Taoyuan today.

Of course, it’s time for the company to go on holiday, but now there is no need for Li Qingcheng to go there in person, just make a phone call.

"By the way, have you called your aunt? When will she have her holiday?" Li Le asked.

"She has already been called. She still has to go to work tomorrow." Li Qingcheng said.

Li Le frowned and said, "Is that so? Then let's go back a day later."

"Okay." Li Qingcheng nodded.

The two of them stayed in Taoyuan for a day. Now the father-in-law and mother-in-law are living a relaxing and comfortable life, and they don’t care at all whether the two of them will celebrate the New Year with them.

Yes, they have no shortage of companionship. Now in Taoyuan, there are at least dozens of people accompanying them every day.

This is because the bodyguards are all busy, otherwise there would be more.

For example, when Li Le returns to his hometown this time, although there will be people following him, he does not need so many people, so more people will stay in Taoyuan.

This is because some people go home for the New Year.

Yes, some bodyguards also go home for the New Year, but very rarely. It’s not that Li Le doesn’t let them go back, but there’s nothing to do if they go back.

The next morning, Li Le also came to the antique shop.

"Boss!" When Shopkeeper Hu saw Li Le coming in, he hurried out from behind the counter.

"Well! How is it? Are you anxious?" Li Le asked with a smile.

"No, no." Shopkeeper Hu shook his head quickly.

"Okay, I know everyone is eager to go home, so today is the last day, and we will be on holiday starting tomorrow, and we will still be paid during the holiday."

"Ah! Thank you, boss."

“The boss is awesome.”

Both the shopkeeper Hu and the two waiters were extremely happy about Li Le's decision.

Yes, I still get paid during holidays. Even though the salary isn’t much, it’s worth it.

"Okay, and also, it's Chinese New Year, each person will receive 5,000 yuan in annual allowance, and buy some gifts for the family and some supplies for the Chinese New Year."

"thank you boss!"

"Long live the boss!"

This time the two guys were even more excited and almost jumped up.

Li Le was happy to see his employees happy.

At this time, the shopkeeper came over and said, "Boss, there is still a week before the Chinese New Year. Isn't it too early to take a holiday now?"

Shopkeeper Hu thought differently from his two assistants because he had been doing this for a longer time.

He knew very well that the closer it was to the Chinese New Year, the better the business would be. If he took a day off early, he would lose a lot of money.

"Not too early. This is a good time to have a holiday. After you go back, you can spend time with your family, visit relatives, etc."

For Li Le, it doesn’t matter whether he earns more or less, because there is no end to making money, and spending time with his family is the most important thing.

The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, the son wants to support his parents but they are no longer there. Li Le will not let this happen.

"OK then!"

Shopkeeper Hu nodded and asked, "Boss, when will we open after the Chinese New Year?"

"When do you think it's better to open the door?" Li Le asked.

Shopkeeper Hu thought for a moment and said, "The market will open on the sixth day of the New Year, so it would be better for us to open on the sixth day as well."

Li Le shook his head and said, "The sixth day of the New Year is not a good day. Many people buy things before the New Year so that they can give gifts during the New Year.

After the Chinese New Year, there will be no shopping for a long time, so I think it is better to open after the 16th."

"Ah! Boss, isn't this holiday too long?"

"Long? I think it's okay! Because I will come again after the 15th."

In fact, the real Chinese New Year is from New Year’s Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. If we miss the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, does it mean that the Chinese New Year is over?

"Okay, Shopkeeper Hu, there is no end to making money. Although a long holiday will affect your income, do you care about this?"

I guess not only Shopkeeper Hu doesn't care, but even the two waiters don't care either.

You have to know that whether it is Manager Hu or his two waiters, they do not earn a fixed salary.

Li Le is not like other bosses. He has performance here. Although the commission is relatively small, don’t forget what he sells here.

For other stores, even if they have commissions, and they are very high, how much commission can they get if they sell cheap things?

But it’s different in Li Le’s store. One item can cost tens of millions, sometimes hundreds of millions. Even if the commission is small, it’s still a lot of money!

It can be said that whether it is Shopkeeper Hu or the two waiters, the money they receive every month is at least several times their salary.

Moreover, Li Le would often give them bonuses, and when all was added up, the money they received every month, even if it was not ten times their salary, would not be much different.

In the words of the two waiters, they would not change even if the manager was the same.

That’s right, being a shopkeeper in other stores doesn’t earn as much as they do here as clerks.

At noon, Li Le had a meal with them in the store, which was considered a closing meal. The food was ordered by Li Le and was particularly sumptuous.

In the afternoon, Li Le drove out with a lot of things, mainly cigarettes and alcohol.

First, Li Le came to Cheng Fei's house, but Cheng Fei was not at home because he had not yet had his holiday.

It doesn’t matter. Li Le didn’t come to see Cheng Fei. He came to see Cheng’s father and mother.

Li Le arrived at the right time, as Cheng's father and mother were both at home today, and it was just the two of them.

"Xiao Le is here, come in quickly."

"Okay auntie."

After saying that, Li Le turned back to the car, opened the trunk, and started moving things in.

"Child, just come if you want to. Why are you taking things?" said Cheng's mother.

"I brought some wine for uncle and you."

When he heard about wine, Cheng's father's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "What kind of wine?"

"I know you like old wine, so of course I brought some old wine."

Li Le carried down a large box in one go. It was a big box with thirty bottles of white wine and ten bottles of red and white wine.

"Hahaha, that's great, I just finished the old wine at home."

"Uncle, this white wine is for you, and the red and white wines are for Auntie, please don't give them as gifts!"

"How is that possible? No one can take this thing away from me."

PS: Love is always there no matter how far we are apart. Can you give me a monthly ticket? Thank you!
