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

"Sister-in-law, there are fewer children now. If we continue to have children like before, the country really can't afford to support them."

"Each family has a maximum of three children in the next generation, usually two."

"Sister-in-law, is it just the two of you in your family now? Second brother, how many grandchildren do you have?"

If it's not our own, we really don't know that clearly.

Second Grandfather silently calculated for a while.

"If you include them all, there are eight."

My great-aunt also volunteered to report the number of people in her family.

There are six in my family.

"My family also has six children, so how many are there in total?"

After finishing his speech, Third Grandfather looked at Li Tian and Li Zilong, which could be considered as an elder testing the younger generation.

"Twenty-two."

"Twenty-two."

The two gave their answers almost simultaneously.

They looked at each other in disbelief; they had more than twenty brothers and sisters in their generation.

Several more will be added later.

This group of relatives is really quite large.

Lee Seungri was also quite surprised.

He picked up the wine jug and was about to fill everyone's cups.

Third Grandfather got up and took the wine pot. The family was so close that they didn't distinguish between guests and relatives.

Li Shengli let his younger brother pour the wine.

"We need to find a reason to get the kids together more often, so they don't not realize they're family when they meet in the future. That wouldn't be good."

"Brother, I've had this idea for a while now. It's customary to have the younger generation come and visit you on your and your sister-in-law's birthdays and important holidays."

Li Shengli waved his hand.

"It's too crowded and inconvenient here. Any of the children who come to Beijing can come and visit."

"But you guys always get together during the Lunar New Year, right? Let them get to know each other, and also to strengthen your relationships."

"Many hands make light work; we help each other and achieve success together."

"Don't be like those shallow-minded people who can't stand to see others do well; families like that have no hope."

Everyone nodded in agreement, readily heeding the elder brother's words.

Besides his high status and authority, the elder brother's words and actions are always convincing.

"Don't just drink, eat more food!"

After eating a few bites of food, everyone began to toast Ye Zhao, the eldest sister-in-law.

Their elder brother, being their own flesh and blood, should take care of them, but their sister-in-law's kindness towards them is entirely out of affection.

A good woman brings prosperity to three generations; this is not just a saying.

"Sister-in-law, your children are all busy. If you need any help at home, just ask Yuanxiang. He lives closest to here. If he can't get away, just send a telegram home."

Li Yuanxiang is the youngest son of his second grandfather.

"I can't speak for everything else, but we have as many people as we need."

"Second brother is right. Even if we want to find young women or wives, it's not a problem. As long as we let out the slightest hint, they'll fight tooth and nail to get them."

Ye Zhao laughed twice, then said calmly, "Third brother, you're exaggerating. What would we need young women and wives for? Don't have any wild thoughts, and definitely don't go around bragging and making things up."

Li Shengli glared at his brother.

"Listen carefully to what your sister-in-law says, and remember it all."

"Those people who are jealous of our family are just waiting to find fault with us."

Lee Seungri softened his tone, but his expression became even more serious.

"There are unhealthy practices everywhere, but none of our children are allowed to participate, let alone accept benefits in my name. Otherwise, I will be the first to punish them."

"Last year, the son of one of my former subordinates committed a crime and wanted me to help him. I didn't agree, and I couldn't agree."

"A life for a life, a debt for a debt, and you must bear the consequences if you commit a crime."

"This is what I told them when I was educating them: there are three bottom lines that must be upheld."

"First, do not harm others."

"Secondly, you must keep your promises."

Third, it's not illegal.

"I hope these three principles will become our most fundamental family values ​​and be passed down from generation to generation."

After a moment of silence, everyone clapped.

This represents everyone's absolute approval.

Third Grandfather got up and poured everyone's cups again.

"Brother, I respect people like you who never forget their roots no matter how high a position they hold."

"To be honest, even in our county alone, there are many injustices. Some officials, once they have a little power, become obsessed with money and don't care about the lives of ordinary people."

"Those kinds of people are only famous for a short time; it won't last."

Lee Seungri smiled and raised his glass.

"Yes, we should set a good example and educate our children and grandchildren."

Li Tian listened quietly without interrupting.

Education is fundamental, but poverty diminishes ambition, and a thin horse has a long mane. When money is needed, who can remain incorruptible when there is none?

After they calmed down, Li Tian said, "Grandpas and Grandmas, the policies are good now, encouraging everyone to work hard and get rich. You can grow flowers, vegetables, and raise livestock. Only with money can you live a better life."

Third Grandfather looked at the little girl beside him.

"People are timid and afraid that policies might change at any time. They are already very content to be able to eat white steamed buns every day."

"Third Grandfather, the uncles and elders are all cadres, they should know about the policies."

"As the saying goes, the bold get rich and the timid starve. Planting and raising livestock are very basic sideline businesses in rural areas."

Li Shengli glanced at his granddaughter; this child dared to say anything.

But it wasn't wrong either.

"What Tian Tian said is correct. Let the children at home learn more about the policies. Their greatest achievement will be developing the economy and leading the people to prosperity in the future."

The group looked at each other and silently kept these words in mind.

If you can't see the direction, then all your efforts are in vain.

Ye Zhao, worried that they might get too drunk, started serving the food.

"Don't just talk, eat more vegetables."

The great-aunt also picked up a piece of food for Ye Zhao with her chopsticks.

"Sister-in-law, you should have some too. They've really cooked this sea cucumber to perfection."

"If you want to learn, you can ask Xiao Zhang; she's better at it than I am."

"I've learned quite a bit these past few days."

The two women, sisters-in-law and aunt, started chatting with their heads down.

After eating, I took a walk in the yard to digest my food.

"Our parents passed away too early, and they didn't even get to enjoy my eldest brother's blessings for a few days. They left these blessings to us."

"Of course! Who would have believed that we'd ever need to digest our food after a meal? We never even dreamed of doing that before."

Li Shengli listened quietly with his hands behind his back.

I feel both regret and satisfaction.

The next morning, Liu He drove the people to the station, bought them platform tickets, and helped them board the train.

The sports meet at Li Tian's school has also arrived.

No homework if you don't attend class.

No homework is the happiest thing for students.

Li Tian thought she only needed to participate in a 4x4 relay race, but unexpectedly, her PE teacher also signed her up for the 50-meter sprint and standing long jump.

Since it's already been submitted, I can't not participate.

Li Tian, ​​who didn't want to stand out, ended up winning first place twice for her class.

Everyone cheered and encouraged, but Tian Xiao remained indignant.

Because Li Tian was around, she could only get second place no matter how hard she tried.

There weren't many events for elementary school students, and soon it was time for the exciting relay race.

"Teacher Hu, if you want us to win, separate me from Tian Xiao."
