The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

The Li Shengli couple did not interfere much in how Li Yuanchao and Chang Yuan were progressing.

I believe they can handle it well.

Two days after Li Yuanchao left the capital, Liu He recovered and was discharged from the hospital.

The family visit leave is only so long. If he wants to take care of his wife and children for a few more days, he can't go back too early.

So, although he had told Lee Seungri about the leave request and submitted a leave application, he was not in a hurry to leave.

Of course, during this period, the Li family also needed Liu He's help to receive relatives from their hometown.

They arrived without warning, and there were several of them.

Li Tian and Li Zilong were not acquainted with each other, and even if they had met before, they had long forgotten each other.

But when Lee Seungri sat with his brothers and sisters, it was immediately obvious that they were all his biological children.

Same big face, same loud voice...

The group of people talked as if they were chatting on the ground, all in a shouting style.

Fortunately, they are old and used to going to bed early.

Otherwise, if several loud voices sit in the living room and start talking, it will be impossible to read a book in peace.

Although these elderly people have many bad habits, no one dislikes them.

I don't dislike Ye Zhao, nor do I dislike Li Tian or Li Zilong.

They are sincere and straightforward, making them easy and pleasant to get along with.

If I like you, I'll treat you well. I'll not only praise you to the skies, but I'll also do real, tangible things for you.

It's not just about talking.

Grandpa was a man of few words, but he was very skillful and made many toys for the two children out of willow branches.

They had small baskets, cricket cages, and even made a pair of lanterns for them.

My third grandfather was younger and more outgoing and active. He would take the two children to shoot sparrows with slingshots and teach them to climb trees.

He taught them all the things that rural children often played with.

Meanwhile, my great-aunt would spend all her time in the kitchen, cooking many hometown dishes for the family, especially for Li Shengli.

Whether it tasted good or not is another matter, but this taste of home is irreplaceable. Li Shengli ate it with great relish and his appetite increased.

But when you're a guest, there's always a parting.

After only four days, they started clamoring to leave.

The main reason was that I was afraid of disturbing the family's life, so I came to visit and put everyone's minds at ease.

Since it was inconvenient for Li Shengli to take them out to eat, he ordered a few dishes from outside, which, together with what Zhang Sao had prepared, made for a very lavish farewell feast.

After Ye Zhao filled everyone's glasses, Li Shengli raised his glass.

The older brother always has to say a few words.

"Good days always pass by too quickly. It feels like you just arrived yesterday, but you'll be leaving tomorrow..."

"I'm really reluctant to part with it..."

"You're not young anymore, so please take care of yourselves and make yourselves comfortable. Don't be so reluctant to give up this or that!"

Second Grandfather stood up.

"Brother, don't be sad. Everything is fine at home, and we are all doing well. This is our blessing in our old age."

"Brother, what Second Brother said is true. This time we came here to see you all, and to let you see us all. Knowing that everyone is doing well will stop us from worrying about each other. If we take good care of our health and don't burden the children, that's how we support them in serving our country."

Grandpa's words were met with thunderous applause.

My great-aunt was a little excited, but she had experienced some big occasions before, so she wasn't too intimidated.

"My sister-in-law took us to the hospital for a check-up. Our blood pressure was normal, and we were fine with our heart, liver, and lungs. We'll write to the children when we get back and let them know, and then we'll all be relieved."

"Brother and sister-in-law, when it gets warmer next year, you must come home to visit. Now we all live in big brick houses."

"In winter, with the heated kang (traditional brick bed) burning in the fire, it's never cold at all, unlike what our grandma had..."

Third Grandfather got up and helped his sister sit down.

"Sister, when you're happy, don't mention that old almanac. Those were tough times; Grandma wasn't the only one who froze to death."

The group silently clinked glasses and drank their drinks.

I don't know how I got through those difficult times.

To ease the tension, Li Tian asked a question she really wanted to know, but seemed to have never formally asked before.

"Third Grandfather, how many children did my uncles and aunts have, and how many do I have in my generation?"

Third Grandfather put down his wine glass and started counting on his fingers.

"My eldest brother's family has three children, my second brother's family has five, my family has six, and my sister's family also has five."

"Nineteen!"

"If they were all gathered together, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to recognize them all."

Not to mention that Third Grandfather was surprised, Li Tian was even more astonished.

Four wives and nineteen children.

It's fortunate that his grandfather had few children, which lowered the average.

Their generation truly responded to the nation's call, believing that more people mean more power.

"That's the new society, and with my older brother's help, I could have survived anywhere!"

Hearing what the second grandfather said, everyone nodded in agreement.

In the past, many children were born, but due to famine and disease, it was considered good if half of them survived.

"Without the care of my elder brother and sister-in-law, these children would be lucky to even get married, let alone become successful."

Li Shengli waved his hand.

"I didn't help much, I just provided some opportunities for the children. They are where they are today because of their own hard work."

"You still have to be down-to-earth and hardworking."

Li Shengli was modest, but they would not forget their roots, and Third Grandfather took over the conversation.

"Brother, we all know what's going on."

"Aside from your three successful children, out of the sixteen children in our three families, four are college students and three are vocational school graduates. With so many scholars, we can be considered a family of scholars."

"There are also five battalion-level officers, who are considered to have a bright future."

"The remaining four children are more ordinary, having retired from the army early and returned home, but they are not ordinary people either; they are all cadres in the townships."

"There are no cowards in our Li family."

"In the surrounding villages, everyone treats us old folks with utmost respect."

Lee Seungri smiled, a very happy smile.

The bestowal of titles and honors upon his wife and children, bringing glory to his family, can be considered a significant and memorable chapter in his life.

"Good days are hard-won, so we must cherish them. We should also remind our children to stay humble and not forget their roots, and never bully others."

"If they've done something illegal or disorderly, I have no face to bail them out, nor do I have the ability to do so."

These words really resonated with them.

He's been honest his whole life, but he's always worried that his children will be too flamboyant and cause trouble.

"My eldest brother is right. I heard that my third son is going to be promoted to the county level, and I think he's getting a little arrogant."

Li Shengli looked at his most honest second brother.

"It's not easy for a family to rise to prominence, and it's inevitable that it will attract the envy of outsiders. We should all have a long-term vision, do less wrong things, and do more good deeds for future generations."

"Yeah, I'll tell him when I get back that these are my brother's exact words, and that the little brat dares to disobey orders."

The phrase "little rascal" made everyone laugh.

The atmosphere became lively again.

Ye Zhao also wanted to know how many grandchildren her family had now.

"Third brother, quickly calculate how many younger members there are in our family now?"
