Chapter 174 Picking up a junk old friend
After a while, Luo Jianzhang and the others said goodbye and left, and Li Nan also drove his parents out of the hospital.
Looking at the BMW 8 Series leaving, Cao Dafu and Qi Xiumei had complicated expressions.
"Good nephew, we really have a good nephew! Hahaha..." Cao Dafu said happily.
"What are you talking about? Look at your attitude towards Li Nan in the ward. It's already good that he didn't give you any shoes to wear!" Qi Xiumei said dissatisfied.
You know, in the past, because Cao Dafu was the financial source of the entire family, he always spoke the truth at home, and Qi Xiumei did not even dare to refute his words.
But today, because of Li Nan's relationship, Qi Xiumei felt that her back was much straighter and her speech became tougher.
Being scolded by Qi Xiumei, Cao Dafu did not dare to get angry, but smiled.
"I didn't know your nephew was so powerful!"
To be honest, Cao Dafu was really scared. If Li Nan had made a slight stumbling block for him just now, then his big order would have been completely ruined.
And now that he not only got the order, but there will be such big orders every year in the future, Cao Dafu can't wait to support his nephew like the God of Wealth.
"And you really insist on giving these old clothes to your sister and the others. You don't even want to wear these rags and you want to force them on others. It's embarrassing this time!" Cao Dafu also said.
When Cao Dafu said this, Qi Xiumei also felt guilty. Only then did she feel that giving away old clothes was indeed not a glorious thing.
"Okay, we must hug our nephew's thigh tightly from now on. With such a big tree here, we will definitely be prosperous in the future!" Cao Dafu looked forward to it.
"That's right, it seems that we should really walk around my sister's house more in the future, so as not to become unfamiliar." Qi Xiumei sighed.
"By the way, isn't Cao Ke coming back from Yanjing in the next two days? Let him come and have fun with Li Nan and build a good relationship." Cao Dafu suggested.
"This method is quite good! Let's do it this way!" Qi Xiumei looked delighted.
Li Nan was naturally not clear about what his aunt and uncle said.
After leaving the hospital, Li Nan drove directly with his parents to the Meixiang Peninsula community. Li Kangning and Qi Xuemei had been looking forward to a new house for too long these years.
They had been living in a dilapidated and closed small house in their hometown. Not only was it small, it was also very dilapidated due to years of disrepair. There was always a musty smell in the house, and it even leaked when it rained.
Being able to buy a spacious new house has always been a worry for Li Kangning and his family. Unfortunately, the high housing prices of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per square meter in Longcheng in the past two years have kept them away.
Now, Luo Jianzhang finally gave such a new house as a gift, and of course they wanted to see it first.
Meixiang Peninsula is considered a mid-to-high-end community. It adopts an all-underground parking lot model. Parking is not allowed on the ground in the entire community.
Therefore, Li Nan could only park the BMW in the underground parking lot, and then brought his parents to the ground.
When Li Kangning and Qi Xuemei came to the ground, their eyes suddenly lit up.
I saw that the entire Meixiang Peninsula community has a beautiful environment, pleasant scenery, and eye-catching green plants and beautiful flowers everywhere.
Moreover, the reason why Meixiang Peninsula is called Meixiang Peninsula is because this community focuses on the theme of plum blossoms.
The whole community is full of plum blossoms in full bloom at this time, which complement the clean roads and neat buildings, making it look like a beautiful picture.
Seeing the clean community and the charming scenery in front of them, Li Kangning and Qi Xuemei could hardly believe that this was true, and they couldn't believe that they would really be able to live in such a beautiful community in the future!
Li Nan was naturally very clear about his parents' worries about the house. Seeing the complicated expressions on their faces at this moment, he knew what they were thinking.
"Okay, let's stop being stunned and go see what our new home looks like!" In order to prevent his parents from getting too involved, Li Nan hurriedly said this to distract them.
attention.
After Li Nan said this, Li Kangning and Qi Xuemei finally came back to their senses from their previous contemplation.
"Okay, let's go!" Li Kangning said sonorously and forcefully.
Following the number on the key, Li Nan and his parents walked toward the back along the road in the community.
At this moment, on a dilapidated human-powered tricycle in front, there was a loud bang, the bags fell apart, and a whole bag of beverage bottles fell directly from the vehicle and rolled to the ground.
The rider was an old man in his sixties, dressed in ragged clothes and covered in dust. It was obvious at a glance that he was a scavenger who made a living by picking up rags.
When the old man heard the bottle falling, he quickly stopped the car, got out of the car and hurriedly picked up the bottle from the ground.
But at this time, when Li Kangning saw the old man scavenging in front of him, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
"Old Zhou, why is it you!"
The old man named Lao Zhou was startled when he saw Li Kangning, and then his face also showed a look of surprise.
"Lao Li, it's you, hahaha..."
With that said, the two people greeted each other, as if they were old friends reunited after a long separation.
During the pleasantries, Li Nan had also heard that it turned out that this old Zhou was acquainted with his father Li Kangning when he made a living by collecting rags. At that time, he took great care of Li Kangning, and the relationship between the two was very close.
good.
However, later on, Li Kangning stopped collecting rags due to health issues, and the two of them had fewer opportunities to meet.
However, although they met less often, the relationship between the two old friends was not estranged, and they were still very enthusiastic when they met again.
"Xiao Nan, this is your Uncle Zhou, hurry up and say hello!" Li Kangning greeted.
"Hello, Uncle Zhou!" Li Nan quickly greeted with a smile.
"You are Li Nan. I often heard your father mention you before, but now you have grown up, haha..." Lao Zhou said with a smile.
To be honest, Li Nan felt very comfortable seeing people like Lao Zhou, because he smiled very plainly, at least he didn't look down on others like his uncle and others.
"Lao Zhou, you are really old, and your skills are no longer up to standard, haha..." Li Kangning pointed at the bottles scattered on the ground and said jokingly.
"Oh, yes, I am indeed getting old. To tell you the truth, I can wet my shoes even when I relieve myself." Lao Zhou said jokingly.
But just as he said that, Lao Zhou suddenly remembered something, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot that my brother and sister are still here, look at my bad mouth."
"It's okay, it's okay." Qi Xuemei waved her hands with a wry smile.
"Okay, who wouldn't tell you? Come on, Li Nan, let's help Uncle Zhou pick up the bottles." Li Kangning greeted.
"good."
Li Nan said and started to pick up the bottle.
"How embarrassing is this?" Lao Zhou looked embarrassed.
"Look, why are you so polite to me?" Li Kangning said, bending down and picking up the bottle.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came over.
"What's going on with you? Broken bottles are all over the floor. How can we get through when the road is blocked?"
I saw a middle-aged fat woman with curly hair riding an electric scooter behind Li Kangning, with an expression on her face that looked very impatient.
"Sorry for wasting your time, we will pick it up right away." Li Kangning said apologetically.
"Hey, isn't this Lao Li?" The fat woman was a little surprised when she saw Li Kangning.
"It turns out to be Mrs. Miao." Li Kangning also recognized the other person at a glance.
Not only Li Kangning, but also Li Nan also recognized this woman. She was Li Nan's old neighbor in the alley, but she moved away a few years ago. Unexpectedly, she lived in Meixiang Peninsula.
It seems that today is really a coincidence. As soon as I arrived at Meixiang Peninsula, I ran into two old acquaintances one after another.
However, Li Nan has never had a good impression of Mrs. Miao, because this woman is a typical snobbery and looked down on their family before.
When Li Nan and his sister were young, she once scolded her in the alley for a whole day because she accidentally soiled her clothes.
"What's the matter, Lao Li, you are still collecting rags now, and you are collecting rags with your wife and children?" Mrs. Miao hummed and smiled bitterly.
"It just so happens that the junk at home is about to be sold. Anyway, it's for sale to everyone, so I'll sell it to you at a cheaper price. It can also be considered as a compliment to the old neighbor." Mrs. Miao said and was about to go to Li Kangning.
