Li Siyu took Ma Lingling back home, and the old lady was alone in the house.
When she saw Li Siyu and others, she greeted her warmly, Siyu is back, is this your colleague?
Before Li Siyu could introduce her, Ma Lingling spoke herself.
Hello aunt, I am Director Li’s colleague. My name is Ma Lingling, you can just call me Lingling. She looks like a silly elder sister.
Seeing that this girl was honest, the old lady nodded with satisfaction.
It's good to be silly and save Siyu from being bullied.
Ma Lingling: Goodbye~
Lingling, let's have dinner here tonight, I've done a lot. The old lady thought that for such a down-to-earth girl, she must get along well with Li Siyu.
Ma Lingling didn't expect that the old lady would let her have dinner, but at this time, everyone was not rich, especially in terms of food.
No need, auntie, I can just go home and eat. Ma Lingling modestly declined.
Seeing that the old lady was very enthusiastic, Li Siyu said: "I don't have any good food to entertain you, so just eat here."
Li Siyu had already spoken, but Ma Lingling couldn't refuse, so she thought she would just eat less for a while.
When the food was put on the table, Ma Lingling breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the food was not particularly good, otherwise she would not be able to eat it.
On the table is a large steamed dumpling covered with a curtain, made from corn flour, the yellow-orange color is particularly appetizing, and a pot of small rice porridge.
Li Siyu looked around and asked the old lady, where did Li Chengcai go?
I haven't seen him since get off work.
I don’t know where he died. When he came back, he told me that he wouldn’t be back for dinner in the evening, so he ran away.
The old lady was very dissatisfied. Recently, this boy has become more and more wild and doesn't even eat at home.
It’s better to eat if you don’t come back, so save it. The old lady pouted, and then served the porridge to the two of them.
Li Siyu gave Ma Lingling a large steamed dumpling, which was as big as a small dumpling.
Ma Lingling thanked her, then put it in her mouth and took a big bite.
The steamed dumplings with corn noodles were bitten open, and the oil inside dripped down Ma Lingling's mouth.
No Σ︴
Ma Lingling quickly took out the other half of the dumpling. It was filled with celery and meat, and the oily soup was almost overflowing.
She didn't have time to think too much and instinctively moved forward to sip the soup.
When she recovered, she looked at Li Siyu in surprise.
Li Siyu was holding a small bowl of porridge and sipping it, taking a bite of dumplings.
So fragrant.
Ma Lingling mechanically chewed the meat filling in her mouth, and the aroma filled her mouth.
Why is this stuffed with meat? How can you eat this?
Ma Lingling originally thought that the dumplings were filled with radish or cabbage.
No matter how much I thought about it, I never expected that it was stuffed with meat, and there was more meat and less vegetables.
She just looked at the half dumplings and didn't move.
Li Siyu looked at her doubtfully, "What's wrong? Not to your liking?"
People in this era are not very picky about food, right?
And judging from the way she sucked the soup just now, it doesn't look like she doesn't like eating it.
Ma Lingling was stunned and quickly shook her head, no
Can she say she likes to eat?
The old lady smiled and said to her: Eat more, there is still a lot of stuffing in the kitchen, so I steamed a lot of it.
Lots of fillings
Ma Lingling looked at the dumplings with tightly packed meat balls. With so much meat, there was actually too much stuffing?
Seeing that she was not being awkward, Li Siyu took the initiative to grab two dumplings for her and ate them quickly. They would not taste good if they were cold.
Ma Lingling stopped her immediately, but Li Siyu was faster than her and put all the dumplings in the bowl.
No need to clamp it, that's enough.
It's hard to put the ones in the bowl back. Three are enough for her to eat, and she can't eat more.
Li Siyu didn't force her. She could eat as much or as little as she wanted. It was not good to force her to eat more.
Ma Lingling had a happy smile on her face and helped clear away the dishes after finishing the meal.
To be honest, apart from Chinese New Year and holidays, their family only has the opportunity to eat meat once a month.
The last time Ma Lingling ate meat was half a month ago, and there were only a few pieces of meat, and the remaining fat was all rendered into oil.
After all, it is impossible for a big family to eat everything in one day.
Thank you for your hospitality today. Ma Lingling is very grateful. There are so many people treating her to meat. Today is beyond her expectation.
Li Siyu pursed her lips and smiled: Why are you so polite?
It's just a meal, and besides, my mother's idea is to let her make more friends.
Li Siyu is not a stingy person and can still afford a few dumplings.
While the two were talking, they saw Li Chengcai staggering back.
When I passed by Li Siyu, she smelled so drunk that I couldn't help but feel drunk.
Is this freshly fished out of the wine vat?
My little sister-in-law, Li Chengcai, knew how to say hello to her even if she drank too much.
But looking at him, he looked really uncomfortable.
He staggered and walked directly into the house.
This is my nephew Li Chengcai. I don’t know where he went. He came back like a bear after drinking, which made you laugh. Li Siyu looked at Ma Lingling apologetically.
Ma Lingling didn't care, she said: Boys of this age are like this, and my brother came here the same way, you go back first, I have to go home.
She asked Li Siyu to go back and take a look, while she trotted home.
Li Siyu returned to the house and looked at Li Chengcai, lying motionless on the bed like a dead dog.
She sighed, what happened to this child?
The old lady came over after hearing the sound and smelled the smell of alcohol filling the room.
This little bastard can't learn well in other things, but he learns well in drinking. Let's see how I deal with him when he wakes up tomorrow.
The old lady scolded him while wiping his face with a wet towel.
Then he took off his coat and shoes, and then turned back to Li Siyu and said: Siyu, you have been keeping an eye on Dian Chengcai for the past two days to see who he is spending time with.
It's not convenient for her to go out as an old lady, and she's not good at inquiring about things. It's better to have her daughter watch over her than to go out and inquire about things.
Li Siyu was also quite puzzled as to what happened to Li Chengcai recently, so the old lady nodded in agreement.
In the morning, Li Chengcai struggled for half the night, either vomiting or drinking water.
But no one cared about him, he got up and poured water to drink by himself.
You're used to his bad habits, and you have to know how to feel uncomfortable, otherwise you won't be shameless enough to drink so much next time.
The next morning, Li Chengcai sat at the table with a pale face, slowly drinking porridge.
Seeing Li Siyu getting up, she lowered her head guiltily.
The old lady did not scold him, but gave Li Siyu a wink.
Neither of them scolded him, let alone said a word.
Amid Li Chengcai's doubts, breakfast passed just like that.
No one mentioned that he drank too much last night, the old lady didn't scold him, and my sister-in-law didn't ask him.
As if nothing happened last night.
But Li Chengcai's stomach kept reminding him of last night's hangover.
He glanced at the two people, then quietly changed his clothes and went to work.
The old lady whispered to Li Siyu: Remember to pay attention to who he associates with.
