The things he brought back were temporarily stored in the warehouse in the front yard by Li Zhong. The not-so-big room was filled with boxes one after another.
The marks on all the boxes were made by Li Hui, so they know which box contains what.
Open one of them, take out a bamboo can and hand it to Li Huai.
"There are sesame balls inside, they are not too sweet, you can eat them."
Since the medicated diet scandal passed, he has never dared to be careless about his children's food.
Ally... No, if my wife says my child can’t eat something too sweet, then I won’t eat it. If my wife says my child can’t eat something that’s too salty, then I won’t buy it.
Anyway, everything is based on "the wife's ideas", so he just listens and does it.
Seeing his youngest son nodding while chewing, Li Hui continued to open the box and said:
"I bought some of these every time I went to a town or county when I came back. I saved so much when I got home. Many of the materials are good, and they are all new in the local area this year. You can make more clothes.
It is said that the wives of wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River would not wear anything new for a month."
So much money to burn!
However, Cheng Xue could only complain in her heart without saying it clearly. After all, they were doing it for her own good. She looked at a box of food, a box of ingredients, etc., focusing on a practical one.
"Did all the money I gave you buy these things?"
"That's not true." Li Hui shook his head, "I'll explain to you when I get back home. I'm not spending money when I go out this time, I'm making money."
As I walked to the corner, I immediately smelled a fishy smell. The boxes were filled with small dried fish, dried shrimps, dried kelp and other items.
This stuff is sold in grocery stores, but the price is not cheap, almost as much as the unit price of fine grains. So she buys a little every time to make soup to enjoy the taste.
Pinch up some dried shrimps and put it in your mouth. It's not too salty and very chewy.
"By the way, wife, when we were having dinner just now, Uncle Jiang mentioned to me about setting the table."
"Putting a table? What kind of table should I set? I set it when we moved."
"I know." Li Hui nodded, "This table is set up to invite the whole village to eat. I went out for a trip and came back, and I had to raise people. According to the village's rules, we have to set up running water mats."
What a violation of the rules! Cheng Xue’s face was full of displeasure.
In the countryside where she lived when she was a child, people who went out to earn a lot of money did come back and treat guests to dinner. But the meal could not be eaten for free, and had to be given as gifts. She did not want the courtesy from the villagers, so naturally she did not want to set up a table in the village.
Just make your own arrangements, how come it has become a village rule!
Seeing that she was resisting both physically and mentally, Li Hui leaned over and explained in a low voice:
"I know what you are thinking, but when you do as the Romans do, you have to live well. We have paved the road, and set up tables and chairs at the end of the village. It is not difficult to have a flowing feast. Uncle Jiang mentioned it, and said you don't think it is troublesome.
If you are willing to help, he can do it for you. For those who are busy, he will take care of the tables, chairs, benches, etc., and he can just take care of the meal."
Now that the conversation has come to this point, it would be hard for her to refuse, but she feels really unhappy.
Looking at the kelp, dried fish, etc. he brought back, he sighed and asked:
"Why don't you show it off? You brought back a lot of things, so just give them points."
"It's okay to give things to a few households that we have good relations with, but we can't give them to everyone."
He couldn't bear it.
Seeing that he was already paying attention, Cheng Xue compromised.
"Okay, let's set it up. Uncle Jiang has a lot of things at home. Don't bother him with these things. I'll do it myself. Let's agree first that we can have a banquet and set the table, but none of our daughters will participate. The village is like a wolf now.
They are all staring at our girl. Didn’t Li Zhong mention it to you? Yan Dashan’s matter."
"I mentioned it. Don't worry, your daughter's marriage will definitely require your nod. I won't make the decision. You don't have to show up on the day when the table is set. I will show my face and I won't eat with them..."
"What's that for?" Cheng Xue shook his head, "I've done it all, what's left of me? I'll put it at the end of the village. The place there is big and bright, and it won't occupy our yard." p>
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
After Li Hui finished speaking, he lightly scratched the bridge of her nose. She felt much less shy than before.
Li Huai, who was eating sesame balls at the side, saw his parents acting like this and walked over in a daze, holding up the bamboo tube.
"Mom, it tastes delicious."
"Why did you say boom again?"
"Pfft——" Cheng Xue chuckled, picked up one and stuffed it into Li Hui's mouth, saying:
"Your son is already familiar with you. He will chatter endlessly when meeting strangers."
"Mom, eat."
Seeing that his mother hadn't eaten, Li Huai tried his best to raise his hands, and Cheng Xue bent down to cooperate.
I kept nodding my head after eating the sesame balls. It was indeed as he said, not sweet, very fragrant, and there were walnuts in it.
After the family of three returned to the house, Li Huai obediently went to Nuange. When Cheng Xue saw this, he followed him, pretending to be coaxing him to sleep, but in fact he was hiding as much as possible.
Even though the two of them had already established a relationship, she still couldn't bear to have sex with him now. It was too fast!
Li Hui also breathed a sigh of relief, put on his loose pajamas, and got on the kang to spread the quilt. The kang was not big and could sleep three people, but four people were not enough. He looked around the room by the candlelight, including the dressing table, wardrobe, boxes, tables and chairs, etc., everything was there.
Some of the bottles and screens he placed there were brought back by his car years ago, and they are quite warm to decorate them.
There was a small Kang table beside the Kang. On the table were pens, ink, paper and inkstones, as well as several medical books. I picked up one at random, and several pages fell out of the book. Juanxiu's small regular script was written by her at first glance.
It was written in response to his letter.
He wrote letters to his family wherever he went, but he didn't expect his family to reply. Because of the drawing, his position almost changed, but he didn't expect her to...
"Oh, what are you looking at?"
Cheng Xue quickly reached out and pulled away. Just as she turned around to run away, an iron wall wrapped around her waist and she sat back on the kang.
"Why are you running?"
You would be a fool not to run.
Cheng Xue did not turn around, but crumpled up the reply she had written in her spare time and prepared to tear it up. Unfortunately, they did not do as she wished and snatched it away.
Then I felt a damp heat in my ears——
"You answered every letter I wrote, so why did you only answer one letter when Barry came back?"
Good guy, this guy's brain works very fast.
Cheng Xue subconsciously said "Ouch", which meant she was impatient, but when she heard it, it sounded like coquettishness in his ears.
Okay, just one letter, keep these and read them slowly.
Thinking of this, he stopped being polite, pulled her over by the shoulder, held her head with his other hand, and kissed her lips directly.
Cheng Xue thought that they would kiss, and also thought about how to defeat each other, but she didn't expect that he would be the one to beat him to it in the end. They promised to counterattack, but it was all in vain.
No, she can’t lose face, she has to take the lead.
Putting her hands around his neck, and responding to the memories in her mind, Li Hui's mouth went dry, and she was filled with urgency.
Under the tug of war between the two sides, the strength and weakness are obvious.
Just when Cheng Xue felt like she was going to be deprived of oxygen, she heard——
"With the seal, it will be mine for all eternity."
After finishing her words, he pecked her lips several times.
It's still quick for him and her to have sex, they have to wait...
