Chapter 103
It was about four o'clock in the afternoon when Zhao Yuanchao arrived at Li's house, and Li Qianghua had not yet returned from the county seat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and the rest of the Li family were not surprised to see Zhao Yuanchao coming again, after all, since Zhao Yuanchao came back from vacation, they have been running to Li's house every now and then, so they are also used to it.
However, Li Mei felt quite surprised. "Is there something you are doing here today?" The reason why he asked like this was because Zhao Yuanchao only left from them this morning, and he came back again in less than a day, Li Mei naturally thought that he must have something important, otherwise he would not have come back so soon.
"I came here to ask my parents when it would be convenient for my little brother to move, so I could go and talk to my comrades-in-arms. Zhao Yuanchao was naturally embarrassed to say that he wanted to see her, so he had to find an excuse casually.
However, although this excuse is made randomly, it is appropriate at this time.
Therefore, after hearing Zhao Yuanchao's words, Li Mei did not doubt him. "Mom and Dad went to the second brother and haven't come back yet. Otherwise, sit in the room and wait for a while, lest you run again tomorrow. ”
Zhao Yuanchao naturally would not refuse. He wished he could run this way again tomorrow.
Li Mei was picking the vegetables to eat tonight in the yard, and Zhao Yuanchao went to the hall to bring a small bench and sat down to help Li Mei pick vegetables together.
Zhao Yuanchao wanted to help, Li Mei was polite and asked him to sit and rest, she could do these things by herself. But Zhao Yuanchao didn't listen to Li Mei's words, and still helped Li Mei do things.
Li Mei is quite satisfied with this. Some men are very machismo. I think I am the head of the family, I have worked tirelessly outside for a day, and when I return home, I can bend my legs, and I will directly treat myself as the master, and I don't have to do anything.
But he didn't want to think about it, he was tired from working outside, and that was true. Don't women work and play all day long?
Women will also work like them to earn their shares, although they may not earn as much as they do, but they have to have children, even if they have a child in their womb, they have to work to earn money.
On the other hand, Li Mei feels that women work many times harder than men. But even so, some men never know that they feel sorry for their wives. As long as you do the outside things well, you don't care about the things at home, and you rely on women to do it.
If she really marries such a man, Li Mei feels that this woman really wants to cry out for the hardships of her life. Fortunately, after being in contact with Zhao Yuanchao for a period of time, he is not such a man. Otherwise, if Zhao Yuanchao was really that kind of man, maybe Li Mei would also make the same choice that her sister used to make.
Of course, if this is changed in the previous life. She wouldn't think there was anything wrong with that, after all, women were supposed to do these things in the first place. However, Li Mei, who lives one more life, does not plan to wronged herself like this, she wants to live with more dignity than her previous life.
"Are all the preparations ready?" Zhao Yuanchao asked suddenly.
For a while, Li Mei didn't understand what Zhao Yuanchao was asking. Zhao Yuanchao saw that she was puzzled, so he said again, "I want to ask you, are all the things for the banquet at home ready?"
As soon as Li Mei heard that he was asking this, she hurriedly replied, "It's almost ready." After saying this, Li Mei's old face couldn't help but turn red.
She was almost half buried in the ground, and now she was going to marry again. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she felt a little embarrassed. In such a situation as she and Zhao Yuanchao, is she telling the old cow to eat tender grass.
Zhao Yuanchao didn't think much about it when he saw Li Mei blushing, he just thought she was shy. I couldn't help coughing embarrassedly, "If there's anything that's hard to handle, you can tell me, and I'll figure it out when the time comes." ”
Li Mei didn't want to say much, so she could only nod.
After the two finished the dishes, Li Mei was afraid that it would be very embarrassing for the two to stay together and not do anything, so she proposed to cook the snails that she touched yesterday and eat them. It just so happened that this snail had been raised for a day and a night, and the sand was almost finished.
"Mom and Dad didn't come back, it's not good. ”
"It's okay, there are a lot of snails, they can eat them whenever they want. After saying this, Li Mei no longer cared about Zhao Yuanchao. She went to the house and found the scissors.
The first step to make a snail is to give its butt tail to scissors, so that it will vomit when it is made. It is also convenient when eating.
After Zhao Yuanchao saw that Li Mei cut off a snail, he silently took the scissors and took over the work from Li Mei's hands. Li Mei is naturally happy and relaxed.
Zhao Yuanchao has great strength and fast hands and feet. For the job of cutting snails, it is not difficult for him at all. So in less than half an hour, almost half of the pot was cut out.
Li Mei saw that she had most of the basin, so she asked Zhizhao to stop aiding the court. She went to the stove and took some salt, sprinkled it in the basin, and washed the snails by hand.
"Let me come, lest I hurt your hand. Zhao Yuanchao snatched the job from Li Mei's hand again. Li Mei's hands are white and tender, if she is accidentally injured by this snail, it is not good.
In fact, Li Mei was used to doing these things in her previous life, and she naturally knew whether the snail would hurt her hands. But what Zhao Yuanchao did, Li Mei couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart. Regardless of whether this thing would hurt her or not, she at least knew that Zhao Yuanchao felt sorry for her.
After the snails were scrubbed, Zhao Yuanchao washed them with water several times, but he didn't know whether it was washed or not, so he had to turn to Li Mei for help. "Meimei, come and see if this is cleaned. ”
Li Mei has been watching from the side, naturally knowing whether it has been washed or not, Zhao Yuanchao's hand is bigger than hers, and his strength is also greater than hers, so he rubbed it for a few minutes, and the stolen things on this snail have been washed.
In this way, men naturally cannot be compared with women. If she were to come this time, it would definitely take half as long as his.
After the snails were washed, Li Mei went into the stove room and quickly fried the snails. This snail has just come out of the pot, and Li Qianghua and Huang Guihua happened to come back.
"It's not dark yet, who got it in the stove. Huang Guihua didn't know that Zhao Yuanchao was coming, and saw smoke coming from his chimney, and there was still a fragrance in the air, so this person shouted at the stove house before he entered the door.
"Dad, Mom, you're back. I made snails, just in time for you to taste the taste. Hearing the voice, Li Mei went out with a snail and a smile. Behind him was Zhao Yuanchao, who was still burning the fire in the stove room just now.
"Xiao Zhao, why are you here?" Huang Guihua couldn't help but ask in surprise when she saw that Zhao Yuanchao was also there.
"He's here to ask when our little brother will move, and he'll come over to help when the time comes. Li Mei helped explain.
"Nature is getting better and better. Huang Guihua said with a smile, "After this matter is done for your little brother, let's prepare to do the business of the two of you." ”
As soon as Huang Guihua's words came out, Zhao Yuanchao and Li Mei both turned their faces to the side in embarrassment. Huang Guihua saw it on the side, knowing that they were shy and not making fun of them.
And Li Qianghua beckoned Zhao Yuanchao to eat snails. At the beginning, Li Qianghua and Zhao Yuanchao were not good at eating, but they learned it after Li Mei taught them.
After everyone tasted the snails, they all said that the snails were quite delicious. It's just that there is too little meat to satisfy any cravings.
