After chatting for a while, Aunt Li seemed to be happy again.
The sweet potatoes were roasted. They were all taken out of the fire and filled half of the basin.
Aunt Li warmly greeted everyone to eat roasted sweet potatoes.
She was still partial and gave the biggest piece of sweet potato to Tang Xiaobao.
But Tang Xiaobao almost didn't cry. With tears streaming down his face, he slowly peeled off the skin, took a bite, and almost spit it out.
Sweet potatoes are very good, but for Tang Xiaobao, they are really hard to swallow.
When I was a child, my family was poor and couldn’t afford to eat, so I ate all the sweet potatoes. I ate so much that I probably have antibodies now...
Liu Qingqing held back her laughter and picked one up to eat.
In fact, she doesn't like to eat this food either.
But looking at Tang Xiaobao and seeing how enthusiastic Aunt Li was, she couldn't stand by and watch.
Shen Mengyao is also eating, and she eats very deliciously.
Alice only tasted one, and then her eyes lit up: "Ah, it's so delicious, aunt, I like you so much. I can't eat this kind of food in my hometown."
Tang Xiaobao was ashamed.
gourmet food?
Sweet potatoes are now fed to pigs, okay?
You're a princess, but you can't eat as well as pigs?
This is ridiculous!
Turnip greens, all have love.
Alice really likes it.
But no matter how much she likes it, she has just eaten. She likes to eat a lot. For example, she really liked the New Year's Eve dinner tonight, so she ate a little more. Now, no matter how delicious the roasted sweet potatoes are, she can't eat much.
After eating two pieces of roasted sweet potatoes, Alice began to burp. She still looked like a princess and a goddess now. She just came from a city rich girl to live in the countryside and experienced life in the countryside. Everything was new to her.
Shen Mengyao stopped after eating one piece.
She also ate quite well.
Just as Liu Qingqing finished eating, Aunt Li peeled off another one for her.
She had no choice but to eat again. Seeing that Aunt Li wanted to peel it, Liu Qingqing became anxious: "Auntie, I don't like eating this very much, so you'd better not peel it for me."
"Don't like to eat?" Aunt Li said with a smile, "Then you should have told me earlier, it's okay, little baby likes to eat."
She helped Tang Xiaobao peel one off and handed it over.
Tang Xiaobao's face turned green.
He had just finished the biggest piece, and now his stomach was still churning. Do you still want to eat it? If you eat it again, you will die!
"Auntie, I can't eat anymore." Tang Xiaobao burst into tears.
Aunt Li said: "Xiaobao, if you like to eat, eat more. I won't be polite to you."
Tang Xiaobao had no choice but to accept the sweet potato and quickly begged for mercy: "Mom, I really can't eat anymore, please don't peel it for me anymore."
Aunt Li didn't force it and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll leave it here to feed the pigs tomorrow. If you want to eat it later, just come to Auntie's house and take care of it."
Shen Mengyao burst into laughter.
Feeding pigs?
Tang Xiaobao also couldn't laugh or cry.
After coughing, Shen Mengyao said to Tang Xiaobao: "Eat quickly, I have to do errands later."
Aunt Li was stunned: "What else do you want to do?"
Liu Qingqing shook the bag containing the money: "Auntie, we still need to distribute bonuses."
"Xiaobao, if you have money now, don't spend it randomly. You know, saving money is like picking up dirt with a needle, and spending money is like sand swirling in water. When you have money, don't forget to be poor. When you have money, you can spend it when you are short..."
Aunt Li persuaded her for a while.
What could Tang Xiaobao say? He could only nod his head yes.
After coming out of Aunt Li's house, Tang Xiaobao squatted on the edge of a field somewhere in the village and vomited violently.
The three girls pouted on one side and were extremely happy.
After a long while, Tang Xiaobao stood up and said: "Oh, it's much better. Misfortune comes from the mouth. This is absolutely true. You can't talk nonsense in the future."
"You committed suicide by yourself, do you blame us?" Shen Mengyao said with a smile.
Alice couldn't help it anymore and said: "Dear, I really don't understand, you don't like to eat, why do you have to eat it? You can tell her directly."
"Don't hurt the old man's heart." This matter is difficult to explain, but Tang Xiaobao couldn't help but explain it again.
…
Li Laoer, Li Ruzong, is a very famous person in Seoul, nicknamed "Pick the Laoer".
Let’s talk about Mr. Li, he’s not really a bad person, but he’s just too stingy.
This is normal, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to send a college student by growing soil.
For the benefit of his own family, Li Laoer never cared about other people's feelings.
In the past, this was called departmentalism.
hey-hey……
Li Lao Er has only one son, Li Ming.
It has been more than a year since Li Ming graduated from university. Because he is too honest and a nerd, he has been struggling to find a job outside. Anyway, he has returned to his hometown now and has nothing to do for the time being.
In fact, he didn't want to come back, but his mother was in poor health and he, who had been very filial since he was a child, finally came back.
After the family had dinner, they sat by the fire pit and watched the Spring Festival Gala.
Li Laoer looked at his son and felt quite uncomfortable.
Li Ming put the melon seeds aside and chatted with Li Laoer.
"Dad, have you gone to see Uncle Tang?"
Li Laoer nodded and lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
Li Ming hesitated and said, "You shouldn't go to them."
Li Laoer said nothing.
"The relationship between our two families was not good in the past, and you did not do the right thing last time. Now when you go to ask for help, people in the village are making irresponsible remarks. It is okay for me to farm at home. After the New Year, I I also go to the planting base to grow medicinal materials. I graduated from the Agricultural University, and my major is the same. I can starve people to death, and I have no problem with food and clothing." Li Mingdao.
"What are you talking about? You are also a college student after all, and you just work as a worker in your hometown?" Li Laoer was a little angry: "Don't I understand you yet? You are really capable, but you are not good at eloquence and don't like to talk too much. You are too honest, and you have to work at home, so haven’t the education I have given you all these years been in vain?”
Li Ming lowered his head and said, "It's not shameful to support yourself with your hands."
Li Laoer was about to speak when someone knocked on the door.
Li Ming opened the door and was immediately startled.
"Xiaobao?"
Li Laoer stood up at once and hurriedly greeted him: "Oh, it's Xiaobao, hurry up, come in and sit down."
Li Ming's mother also quickly moved the stool.
Tang Xiaobao greeted with a smile: "Uncle Li, Happy New Year."
After sitting down with the three girls, Li Laoer handed the cigarette to Tang Xiaobao and said, "No."
Li Ming handed over the plate: "Eat melon seeds."
"Okay, I won't eat it." Tang Xiaobao said with a smile.
"Quick, Li Ming, go wash some fruits." Li Laoer ordered.
Li Ming was about to get up when Tang Xiaobao stopped him: "Brother Ming, sit down quickly and don't eat. I just ate two sweet potatoes at Aunt Li's place and I'm almost exhausted. I can't eat anything."
"How about some glutinous rice balls?" Li Laoer asked.
Tang Xiaobao shook his head: "Come on, come on, everyone, please sit down. Don't be so polite. You're not an outsider."
Li Laoer felt a little guilty and smiled.
Tang Xiaobao winked at Liu Qingqing.
Liu Qingqing took out the red envelope from her pocket and handed it over: "Uncle Li, this is your year-end bonus this year."
"Ah?" Li Laoer subconsciously took it, felt embarrassed, and quickly stuffed it back: "My year-end bonus has already been distributed."
"I know that after Xiaobao came back, he decided to give everyone another red envelope. This is considered his wish. I hope you can do a good job in the medicinal material base this year like last year." Liu Qingqing explained.
Li Laoer looked at the thick stack of red envelopes and was a little moved, so he asked again: "Do you have them all?"
"Both."
Li Laoer wanted to accept it, but Li Ming coughed. (To be continued)
