On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Li and Mr. Li found Li Moer and said to her, "Moer, we have been here for more than ten days, and we are planning to return to Qipan Mountain.

Li Moer frowned and said, "Isn't it good to stay here? You have made many friends. It would be great if my grandfather could go there to play chess when he has nothing to do. Why do you want to go back? Otherwise, you two can just retire here."

Mrs. Li's eyes showed gratitude. She sighed and said, "No, we have to go back. There's nothing better than our own home. Besides, your uncle still hasn't found a partner, and we're worried about him. I still prefer the quiet and peaceful Xiaoli Village."

Li Moer said, "Why don't you bring your uncle here too? I'll find him a job. It's definitely more promising than in Xiaoli Village."

Old Li shook his head. "Your uncle's character has been spoiled by your grandmother, making him somewhat selfish. He likes to gamble when he has a lot of money. If he comes here, he will definitely bother you or cause you trouble. Don't let him come here. The county town in Qipan Mountain is the most suitable place for him.

Your Third Uncle is doing well here, so we don't need to worry about him. So we won't bother you. Just take good care of your grandmother! When you have time, come back to Xiaoli Village to see us!"

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes and said unconvincedly, "What do you mean by 'I've spoiled you?' You're always calling me 'son,' and you're always making me 'son' noises. You're blaming me for this thing that's gone wrong?"

Old Li didn't want to argue with the old woman, so he ignored her.

Li Moer said: "Even if we go back, we have to wait until the first month of the lunar year to go back. What's the point of going back now?"

Old Li waved his hand and said, "Girl, we've made up our minds. You know, we're so unfamiliar with this place, it's better to go back to the village and feel more at ease. We can go back during the first month of the year and catch up on the lively events in the village." Old Li's wife also echoed, "Yes, the town has community operas and temple fairs during the first month of the year, it's very lively. We can also help your uncle arrange a blind date when we go back."

Seeing the two elders' resolute attitude, Li Moer didn't want to persuade them anymore, so she said, "Okay, I'll prepare some food for you on the way and buy you some new clothes. When I have time, I will definitely come back to Xiaoli Village to see you."

Old Li and Mrs. Li smiled and nodded. Old Li said, "Mo'er, you are so thoughtful. Take good care of yourself and grandma here." Mrs. Li took Li Mo'er's hand, her eyes full of love: "Girl, if you encounter any difficulties, just go back to Xiaoli Village. The villagers will help you." Then, Li Mo'er began to busy herself preparing things for the two elders' return trip.

However, before Old Mr. and Mrs. Li left, something happened to Li Zhihe.

There were two fools and brave men living in Ge Erhan's compound, who were a little bit stronger than Ge Erhan. When Old Man Shi's house was haunted, one of them was lying on the wall watching. This man was called Du Zhiteng, and the other was called Wei Shengjing.

Both of them have more than ten people in their families, squeezed into three rooms of about 80 square meters. It can be said that there is no space to turn around.

Sleeping was even more crowded. Five people were squeezed on a big kang, and three generations were squeezed on the kang. Du Zhiteng's parents were at the head of the kang, Du Zhiteng's youngest son was in the middle, and Du Zhiteng and his wife were at the other end of the kang. They dreamed of having their own room.

Whenever Du Zhiteng and his wife wanted to do something inappropriate for children, it was as if a bowl of water was placed on Du Zhiteng's buttocks, and his movements were gentle as if he was afraid that the bowl of water would be spilled.

If the old man goes to bed late, he can hear almost everything. So Du Zhiteng dreams every day that he has his own house and can do whatever he wants without restraint.

However, housing in Beijing is extremely tight nowadays, and only the privileged class like Old Man Shi can afford to own a courtyard of their own.
