When Xiao Ai heard that she mentioned Qin Chuan, she had a shy look on her face, and then said seriously: "Of course I'm back, and I'm already at work now."
"Oh, this is a couple in need. When can I drink your wedding wine?" Li Siyu couldn't help but tease.
Wasn't she teasing her quite happily just now?
When she heard about the wedding banquet, Xiao Ai blushed, "Why are you so anxious! I'm hungry and I haven't eaten yet." She didn't want to say more and immediately changed the subject.
Li Siyu did not embarrass her and brought the food in with Lin Cheng with a smile.
A pork belly stewed with potatoes, a sauerkraut stewed pork ribs, just this kind of cuisine, much better than the banquet we had for lunch, what the hell are they?
"Have you had a good life?" Xiao Ai couldn't help but say. With her family's conditions, she had to make calculations to see if this month's meat stamps would be enough.
Li Siyu said with a smile: "As a distinguished guest, I have to let you eat well, right?"
Xiao Ai smiled, and the three of them started eating.
None of us are talkative people, and we rarely talk during meals. Li Siyu also thought of talking after eating.
After the meal, the table was cleared, and Li Siyu took Xiao Ai into the bedroom. Lin Cheng could only lie down on the sofa with the quilt in his arms.
Fortunately, there was a warm stove, otherwise Lin Cheng would not only feel cold, but also his body...
In the room, Li Siyu was lying on the bed and said to Xiao Ai next to him: "How is your family doing?"
He was demoted before, but he was rehabilitated very quickly, but this is also a good thing. If he had stayed in Beida Mountain, he would probably have lost half his life there.
Xiao Ai lay next to her, looked at the ceiling and said: "Thanks to the medicine you sent, our family has never been delayed in getting sick. Over there, everyone who is sick has no way to get treatment.
Some people even lose their lives just because of a cold. If you don't go to that kind of place, you will never realize how difficult life is. People are really too fragile."
Li Siyu turned to look at her, knowing that this girl had seen too much poverty and the hardships brought about by life.
This is also normal. No matter now or in future generations, there will be poor places where there is no medical treatment and no conditions for medical treatment. Even a minor illness can take away a person.
"It will get better and better in the future." Li Siyu could only comfort her in this way, and other words were useless.
Xiao Ai sighed silently, "I hope so."
How could she not understand that this situation would definitely not end anytime soon, and it would take a long time to wait.
The two of them chatted until late at night before going to bed. When they woke up the next day, it was almost eight o'clock.
Li Siyu opened his eyes and saw Xiao Ai sitting aside reading a book, looking very serious.
"Oh my god, why didn't you call me when you woke up?" Li Siyu rubbed his groggy eyes and then got up to get dressed.
It's already eight o'clock and we haven't cooked yet. I don't know when this person got up. He must be hungry.
"I woke up a long time ago and didn't call you when I saw you were sleeping soundly." Xiao Ai smiled and put down the book in his hand.
Li Siyu opened the bedroom door and found breakfast on the table.
"Who did this?"
Xiao Ai stood up and walked behind her, "I bought it from Lin Cheng. I really envy you for having such a caring partner. I've already eaten it, so hurry up and eat."
"Your partner will also be considerate to you in the future, don't be envious." Li Siyu replied with a smile, and then sat down to eat.
Because she still has work outside the home, she doesn't have to report to the unit.
After dinner, she gave her the money Xiao Ai had asked her to take before, "This is the remaining money. I spent more than a hundred on clothes and medicines."
In fact, the value of those things is much higher than more than one hundred, because there are no coupons and western medicine is not easy to buy.
But Li Siyu didn't feel bad. This was also because Xiao Ai was a pretty good person, so it didn't matter if he spent some money.
"Why did it cost more than a hundred?" Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Those Western medicines that my grandfather said he couldn't buy even if he had money, are you trying to make things difficult for me? I've already asked you to do this when I came to you.
It’s hard to do, and now that I’ve asked for so much less money, don’t you want to be my friend anymore?”
The more Xiao Ai talked, the more serious it became, as if Li Siyu looked down on her because he didn't accept money.
She was speechless...
"Xiao Ai, what are you talking about? I just treated you as a friend, that's why I charged more than one hundred, why do you still say that?" Li Siyu felt that not charging money is looking down on people, and charging less money is also the same.
wrong.
Xiao Ai didn't listen to her and directly took out five hundred yuan, "This is what you should receive. No matter where you bought the western medicine, it was a favor and a big price."
Her grandfather said that it was hard to find Western medicine, and it was even more impossible to buy it. It took a lot of twists and turns to buy so many Western medicines.
The Xiao family is not jealous of Li Siyu's medicine, but they can't bear to let people use it in vain.
One code equals one code, this is what Mr. Xiao said.
Li Siyu looked at her firm eyes and knew that it was impossible not to accept the money.
"Yes, yes, why don't I accept it?" She sighed helplessly.
However, it can also be seen from this that Xiao Ai's family is very well-educated, does not take advantage of others, and can maintain long-term relationships.
Seeing that she accepted it, Xiao Ai breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Can you stay a few more days?" Li Siyu asked, "I want to take you for a walk?"
There really isn't much fun in Baicheng, but the lake in the city is frozen, so you can play on the ice there.
"I'll leave the day after tomorrow, and I'll play with you all day tomorrow." Xiao Ai replied with a smile.
Li Siyu frowned and said, "It's so urgent. It's already the New Year. Is there anything urgent about going back?"
"I have something to do. I have to go to work when I get back. My grandpa arranged it. I will write to you when I get back." Xiao Ai nodded.
She didn't ask again. Work was business and this couldn't be delayed.
Li Siyu made a hot pot meal that she hadn't seen for a long time in the evening. She went out to buy the ingredients herself, without Xiao Ai.
How can you buy groceries when you have people with you? There is everything in the space, just take it out and eat it.
If Xiao Ai was with her, she wouldn't be able to take it out.
After going out for a walk, Li Siyu came back with a basket of ingredients. He immediately stewed a pot of lamb chops and lamb scorpions.
Eating mutton in winter is the most nourishing and especially good for girls.
When Lin Cheng came home in the evening, he saw his beloved hot pot with a happy look on his face.
"This thing is different from ordinary hot pot." Xiao Ai saw the spicy bottom of the pot for the first time.
But Li Siyu was afraid that she couldn't eat spicy food, so she used the Yuanyang hot pot.
"First time eating it? Then give it a try." Li Siyu said with a smile.
Because it is winter, green vegetables cannot appear. Most of the pot is mutton, cabbage, potatoes, some radish, yam, and fungus soaked in advance. These can all be rinsed.
Xiao Ai was particularly satisfied with this meal, unlocking a new delicacy!
