The next morning, Old Li got up early as usual, shouldering his hoe and took a stroll around his fields.
After having breakfast, he was rushed by Qiu Shuping to go to the team leader's home to inquire about the house property transfer in the village.
At this moment, Old Li was still somewhat hesitant; after all, it was the house he had lived in all his life. He had initially planned to leave it to his younger son after he was gone. Now, while he was still alive and well, to give the house to his son made him uneasy.
However, after being talked to by Qiu Shuping, he felt that as a father he should do it. So, he was conflicted all the way there.
When he arrived at the team leader's home, the team leader was not there; the team leader's wife said he had gone to the city for a meeting. Thus, Old Li aimlessly sauntered back home.
When Qiu Shuping heard about this, she didn't make much of it; if he was not home now, they could just ask again in the evening.
