Li Cunning looked at Shi Lei carefully and saw that he was neatly dressed and had a calm temperament. Li Cunning's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and then he said earnestly: "It's Xiao Shi, come in quickly!"
"Old man, who is here?" Huang Fen's voice came from the kitchen, with an air of inquiry. She thought it was Li Kunning's chess and tea friends who came to the house to communicate again.
Li Kunning glanced at Shi Lei awkwardly, then gritted his teeth and said, "Xiaoyue's boyfriend is here!"
"What?" Huang Fen exclaimed and walked out of the kitchen. She looked at Shi Lei with a look of shock on her face, a look of scrutiny in her eyes.
Shi Lei smiled indifferently and said, "Hello, Professor Huang. I am Shi Lei, Zhiyue's boyfriend."
Huang Fen hesitated for a moment, then nodded stiffly. Compared to the unfamiliar Shi Lei, Huang Fen was more optimistic about Wu Bin, who "knows the basics". After all, Wu Bin taught at Shuangqing University and was considered a cultural person. Huang Fen's character was a bit cultural.
She is aloof and a bit like a middle-aged married woman. Wu Bin herself is a calligraphy teacher in the art department, and her family situation is quite good. No matter from which point of comparison, Huang Fen thinks that Wu Bin is better!
"Xiao Shi, are you really Zhiyue's boyfriend?" Huang Fen's words were interrupted by Li Zhiyue who came out. She looked at Shi Lei in surprise, with a mixture of joy and worry in her eyes.
"Shi Lei, why are you here?" Li Zhiyue asked deliberately in a reproachful tone.
Shi Lei's smile did not change, he looked at Li Zhiyue with burning eyes, and said softly: "If I don't come, my girlfriend will be snatched away!"
"You" Li Zhiyue's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
Shi Lei smiled heartily, handed the wooden box he was carrying in his left hand to Li Kunning and said, "Professor Li, I heard that you like drinking tea. This is some tea I bought along the way. I hope you like it!"
Li Kunning smiled and took the wooden box from Shi Lei's hand, "Xiao Shi, come as soon as you come. What gifts do you want to bring!"
Li Zhiyue rolled her eyes at Shi Lei and snorted, "Shi Lei, please go first, I'm not free today!"
"Xiaoyue, what nonsense are you talking about!" Li Kunning glared at Li Zhiyue and said instructing: "Xiaoshi came all the way here and stayed for a light meal before we talk!"
Huang Fen frowned and coughed twice reluctantly: "Old man, let the young people handle the affairs of the young people!"
Shi Lei's eyes hidden behind the lenses flickered slightly, then he took out the gift box of the agate bracelet from his pants pocket, handed it to Huang Fen and said: "Professor Huang, I came in a hurry, and I don't know what you like, so I chose it for you.
A string of agate bracelets. It is said that agate has the effect of absorbing negative energy from the human body. I hope Professor Huang will live younger and become more beautiful!"
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit someone with a smiling face. Shi Lei smiled lightly, and there was a gift to give. Huang Fen smiled slightly and said: "Xiao Shi, you are too polite!"
Shi Lei said politely: "No, no! It's just a gadget, it represents my feelings. I hope Professor Huang likes it!"
Li Kunning winked at Li Zhiyue and said, "Xiaoyue, why don't you bring Xiaoshi in yet? You three young people have a chat while your mother and I cook. We'll be ready soon!"
Li Zhiyue looked at Shi Lei helplessly, and then said: "Follow me!"
The two walked into the living room together, and Shi Lei immediately looked at the man sitting on the sofa. The man also looked at Shi Lei and nodded politely.
Shi Lei also nodded, then introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, I am Shi Lei, Li Zhiyue's boyfriend!"
The man on the sofa looked at Shi Lei and said, "Hello, Wu Bin, a calligraphy teacher at the Art Department of Shuangqing University, Li Zhiyue's relative!"
The two of them were fighting each other, not giving in at all. Shi Lei frowned slightly, 'This opponent is not easy!'
Wu Bin looked at Shi Lei, his eyes flickering, 'Hey, why does this guy look familiar! I feel like I've seen him somewhere before!'
Li Zhiyue folded her hands in front of her, neither denying Shi Lei's title nor objecting to Wu Bin's words, as if she stayed out of the matter.
Shi Lei sat on the sofa and took the initiative to chat with Wu Bin, "It turns out he is a teacher at Shuangqing University. I wonder if Teacher Wu has obtained the title of professor? By the way, I heard that there are many beauties in the art department of Shuangqing University. I wonder if Teacher Wu has one.
What do you think?" Shi Lei's question was very damaging. With Wu Bin's age, how could he possibly obtain the title of professor?
Wu Bin's face was as calm as water, and he was not affected by Shi Lei at all. He asked back: "Mr. Shi is a talented person, young and promising. I don't know where to get a job? How did you meet Zhiyue?"
Shi Lei's heart sank slightly, such an opponent is not easy to deal with!
Li Zhiyue snorted softly, "Are you two bored?"
Shi Lei and Wu Bin laughed dryly at the same time, looked at each other, and saw solemnity in each other's eyes. Just when the atmosphere between the three of them was strange, Li Zhiyue's parents came out of the kitchen, carrying fragrant home-cooked dishes, and put them on the table.
on the table.
Li Kunning glanced at Wu Bin, and then greeted Shi Lei warmly: "Xiao Shi, come sit down and eat quickly!"
Huang Fen snorted softly and said with a smile on her face: "Xiao Wu, are you hungry? Come over and try the pickled fish!"
Wu Bin glanced at Shi Lei in surprise. He did not expect that Shi Lei would establish an alliance with Li Kunning so quickly. He walked to the table, took a deep breath, and praised: "Auntie, this pickled fish, just smell it.
It makes people drool!”
Shi Lei glanced at Wu Bin covertly, 'This kid is really good at telling lies. He obviously doesn't look good, but he smells even worse, and he actually makes his mouth water! Shameless! Shameless!'
Li Zhiyue's family and Shi Lei sat down around a square table. Shi Lei and Wu Bin sat face to face, Li Zhiyue was alone, and Li Kunning and Huang Fen sat together. At the table, Huang Fen kept picking up food for Wu Bin and asking questions.
Some issues in the teaching profession.
Li Kunning served Shi Lei some food and asked, "Xiao Shi, I wonder where you work?"
Shi Lei picked up a napkin, wiped the non-existent oil on the corner of his mouth, and replied: "Professor Li, I opened a company of my own."
"Xiao Shi, don't be so polite, just call me uncle!" Li Kunning said with a smile.
Hearing that Shi Lei had opened a company of his own, Huang Fen was also curious: "Xiao Shi, what company did you open?"
Wu Bin whispered from the side and whispered: "Auntie, I heard that some companies are now empty shells. From the chairman to the lowest employee, they are all held by one person!"
Shi Lei glanced at Wu Bin. He originally regarded him as an opponent of the same level, but now he relaxed. "Auntie, my company is a high-tech enterprise company and is not well-known in Shuangqing City."
Huang Fen nodded casually and determined in her heart that Shi Lei's company was just that kind of empty shell. However, Li Kunning did not doubt Shi Lei, but said enthusiastically: "Xiao Shi, you are really young and promising!"
Shi Lei said modestly: "Where! Compared to Teacher Wu, I'm still far behind!"
Huang Fen deliberately found a topic and said: "Xiao Wu, it is said that eating some fruit after a meal is good for your health. From which country did the fruit you just brought come?"
Wu Bin pretended to be indifferent, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face. "Auntie, those are kiwi fruits from New Zealand and navel oranges from Australia. They are all imported by air!"
Huang Fen cooperated: "Oh, Xiao Wu, those fruits are not cheap!"
"What are you talking about, aunt! Those are just my thoughts, as long as aunt and uncle like it!" Wu Bin glanced at Shi Lei with a sense of arrogance. "Mr. Shi, I wonder what gift you brought?"
Li Kunning snorted, glared at Wu Bin dissatisfied, and then said: "Xiao Shi knows that I like to drink tea, so he specially brought me some tea leaves!"
Wu Bin frowned and said: "Mr. Shi, I wonder what kind of tea you bought? Recent news reports revealed a group of criminals illegally selling low-quality tea. Mr. Shi, did you look clearly when you bought it?"
It was a reminder, but it was actually a sarcastic reference to Shi Lei, who bought garbage tea from a roadside stall!
Li Kunning was even more dissatisfied and hummed: "Xiao Wu, is today's twice-cooked pork delicious?"
Changing the topic in such a blunt manner was obviously not going to work, so Shi Lei took the initiative and said: "Uncle, since Teacher Wu knows tea, you might as well take out the tea I bought and have it appraised by Teacher Wu. If it is really a fake product, I will definitely ask for it."
An explanation!”
Li Kunning picked up the wooden box from the corner of the living room. After opening it, he found that it was still a wooden box. He was a little surprised. After he continued to open it, he found twelve exquisite small tea cakes displayed in a pure yellow fine forging.
Just from the packaging and appearance, you can tell that these teas are definitely not cheap!
Li Kunning handed the wooden box to Wu Bin and said with a hint of joking: "Xiao Wu, look and see if this tea is a shoddy product from an unscrupulous trader!"
Sweat was dripping from Wu Bin's forehead. He carefully observed the small tea cakes and was slightly surprised. Wu Bin understood tea and was also a tea lover.
"This is" Wu Bin looked at Shi Lei and asked, "Is this Biluochun?"
Li Kunning replied for Shi Lei: "Xiao Wu, your taste is not bad! This should be the first-class Biluochun exquisite tea cake!" After saying that, Li Kunning turned to look at Shi Lei, "Xiao Shi, you can leave in a moment.
When you leave, take this tea away! I can’t accept such precious tea!”
In 2006, even Li Kunning, who had the title of professor, only had a regular salary of 2,000. He was an old tea drinker, and he knew the price of the first-grade Biluochun very well!
Shi Lei smiled slyly and said: "Uncle, please spare me! I'm not a tea lover. If you let me drink this thing, it's worse than a bowl of tea worth one yuan!"
Huang Fen looked at Shi Lei with a hint of surprise. 'Is this Shi Lei really young and promising?'
Li Kunning continued to decline: "Xiao Shi, I, Li Kunning, have been teaching all my life and have never received such an expensive gift. You'd better take it back!"
Li Zhiyue said: "Dad! Just keep it! This little thing is nothing to him!"
Shi Lei quickly said: "Yes, yes, uncle, please keep it!"
Huang Fen caught the meaning of Li Zhiyue's words, and other thoughts arose in her heart. She asked with a smile: "Xiao Shi, isn't that agate bracelet also very precious? Then I will give it back to you too!"
