"I didn't mean that. I just thought that I would be back for several days this time and I wouldn't want to delay your work." Xiong Li also had to explain clearly.

Don't let these little things affect everyone's mood.

"Just tell me, my brother is always thoughtful, but I'm just a rough guy who says whatever I want without thinking. Don't bother with me. If I do or say anything wrong, tell me. I wouldn't realize it if you don't tell me." The eldest brother smiled foolishly.

"We grew up together, so we know each other's personalities. Is there any need to say all that?" Xiong Li patted his eldest brother's shoulder.

"I'm going to cook today so you can taste my brother's cooking skills, which I've honed over the past few years. You haven't tasted it yet, and you probably haven't eaten either." As he said that, he took the food and walked towards the kitchen.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, we would have actually forgotten about eating. Now that you mentioned it, I'm really a little hungry. Xiong Li, your eldest brother's cooking skills are really good. We rarely get to eat it normally." Old Bear still likes the food cooked by his eldest brother Xiong Wu.

But he usually doesn't have much time as he is busy with his life and gets home very late.

"Mom and Dad, you guys just take a rest outside. My brother and I will cook together. You can also have a day off." Xiong Li called out to his parents and followed his brother into the kitchen.

"Brother, I don't know how to cook, but I can help. What should I do now?" Xiong Li rolled up his sleeves and waited for instructions.

Because he was the youngest son, Xiong Li was very well taken care of and knew no cooking at all.

"You rarely get a few days off, so just sit outside and wait for food. Don't get your clothes dirty when you go into the kitchen, they look quite expensive." Seeing that his brother was wearing neat clothes, his own clothes were dirty and covered with dust.

"Clothes are meant to be worn. Just wash them when they get dirty. The clothes on you are not expensive. Why don't you help out? We can still chat in the kitchen." Xiong Li said with a grin, and had no intention of leaving at all.

If you don’t arrange it, you have to wash the vegetables yourself.

Even if you can’t cook, you can still wash vegetables. Just wash them clean and put them aside.

Xiong Li had already started to take action, so the eldest brother couldn't say anything.

If we say anything more, it will become distant.

My brother’s knife skills are very good. You don’t even need to watch him cutting vegetables. You can tell how fast he is just by the sound.

The dishes were prepared quickly. Although the cooking smoke was very strong, Xiong Li was pushed out by his eldest brother.

It's also a good thing to have one less person to absorb the fumes.

Just as the meal was ready, my sister-in-law came back in a hurry. Her face was covered with sweat and it was obvious that she was in a hurry.

When he entered the room, Xiong Li had just entered the kitchen to serve dishes and did not hear the sound of the door opening.

When I came out of the kitchen with the dishes, I saw that there was one more person in the living room. After looking carefully, I realized that it was my sister-in-law who came back.

He quickly wiped the oil stains on his hands with a tissue and walked to the living room.

"Sister-in-law, you're back. My brother's dishes are ready. Let's go eat together." Xiong Li was not very familiar with his sister-in-law. He only knew that her name was Yang Li.

He was in college when my eldest brother got married. After that, he was either busy studying or working, and we didn't see each other very often.

It seems that we only met once when we got married and once when our child was one month old.

I also bought this house, and after it was renovated, I sent the address to my eldest brother and asked his family to move in. I also saw it once when I was buying a house and then bought it.

The decoration was also done by a professional company. I was not there at all. I worked in Ye's house, and the decoration company would not be stupid enough to offend someone for such a small amount of money.

"You must be Ali, right? I almost didn't recognize you after not seeing you for a long time." Sister-in-law spoke to Xiong Li with a smile.

I haven't really spoken to this brother-in-law.

My husband uses his cell phone to contact this brother, and he sends money home every month, and the payment has never been interrupted.

He also knew that this house was his. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't be able to live in such a nice house.

Both the couple are kind and grateful people.

"I'm too busy at work and don't have time to go home. Sometimes when I go home you're not at home. It's all because you have to make a living. My parents are causing trouble for you when I'm not at home." Xiong Li said politely.

I just want to be nicer to my sister-in-law, and she will be nicer to my parents.

Heart to heart.

"Uncle, it's wrong for you to say that. They are my parents. Their presence has relieved a lot of burden for us. There are people to help take care of the children when they come home from school. We can't express our gratitude enough." The sister-in-law chatted with Xiong Li.

The eldest brother cleaned the kitchen and came out.

"Wife, you're pretty fast too." The eldest brother didn't expect his wife to come back so soon.

"Brother is home, how can I not hurry?" The sister-in-law said to the eldest brother with a smile.

Xiong Li was very happy to see that everyone was getting along so well. Nothing like what he had imagined happened.

My parents also look very good, so they should be in a good mood as usual.

"Everyone, wash your hands and eat." The eldest brother shouted.

Everyone went to wash their hands at the nearest tap.

Except for the children who are still in school, the whole family is together.

"It's a rare opportunity for you to come back. Do you want to have a drink?" The eldest brother didn't know whether his brother was drinking or not.

"I won't drink today. I'll drive you out for a walk in the evening and get along well with the child. He probably doesn't recognize me." Xiong Li felt embarrassed when talking about the child.

My child is in elementary school now, and he has never seen me as far as I can remember.

"That's fine. Let's not drink today and just have a good chat. We haven't seen each other for such a long time. This little time is not enough to chat." The eldest brother looked at everyone honestly.

He rubbed his palms together, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Brother and sister-in-law, what are your plans for the future?" Xiong Li asked this question directly after taking two bites of the food.

This is also the main issue today.

It would be best if I could solve my brother's livelihood problem before going to work.

I don’t know when the next break will be.

"Your sister-in-law and I have no education or skills, so we can only work. There is nothing else we can do. We also know that working does not lead to a future, but we still have to make ends meet. The expenses for the children are not small, and they have to attend various tutoring classes, which all cost money." At this point, the eldest brother shook his head helplessly.

I'm not complaining about being poor, this is how real life is.

"But brother, you can't do this job for a long time. Although the income is quite considerable now, it requires sacrificing your health. This kind of work can only be done temporarily and not for a long time. Otherwise, the money you earn now will not be enough for your medical treatment in the future." Xiong Li also stated the reality.

If I don't lay out the naked facts, my brother will still stick to his job and won't think of any other way.

"We actually know all this, but we have no money, no power, no ability, and we don't know what to do. We can only sell our physical labor. If there were other ways, we would definitely not do our current jobs."
