Chapter 177: The Great Dinner
The next day, when Xu Lie opened his eyes and saw the sunlight shining from the window on Lin Yue's white and beautiful face, a hanging heart let go. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He fell asleep in a daze, and had a dream, in which Lin Yue stood in the air in the distance with a big backpack on his back, waving goodbye to himself.
He desperately called her name and ran over to grab her, but he couldn't run or touch her. Where she floated, smiling gracefully, he could only watch her get farther and farther away, more and more blurry, knowing that he could no longer see her. When he woke up with a sweaty face and saw Lin Yue sleeping beside him, he knew that it was a dream.
Xu Lie stretched out his hand and gently stroked Lin Yue's face. Lin Yue woke up in her sleep, opened her eyes, and looked at Xu Lie in front of her. The sun shone right on her eyes, and it took her long to keep them open to adjust to the intense light. When she saw his sweaty face, she asked softly, "What's wrong?" Uncomfortable? ā
"No," Xu Lie said softly, "Let's sleep a little longer, I slept too late last night." Whatever you want to eat, I'll make it for you. ā
"No need, let's go to Mrs. Wu's house to eat, I was with my sisters all day yesterday, and I haven't had time to talk to her yet." Lin Yue said.
"Well, it's okay, let's rest a little longer before we go."
"Okay, I guess they didn't go to bed early last night, let's go later today, alas, I didn't see Xiao Xue'er, you don't know, that kid ...... Forget it, I'll sleep a little longer. Lin Yue originally wanted to praise Xiao Xue'er, Xiao Xue'er was not only well-behaved and cute, but also very smart and clever, Lin Yue felt that she was very close to her. But when she thought of the quarrel and discussion between the two of them about the child last night, she didn't want to say anything more, so as not to cause quarrels and misunderstandings.
Xu Lie also knew why Lin Yue was not continuing, he knew that as long as he heard the topic about the child, he still wanted to hug her and ask her gently: "Honey, let's have a baby together, okay." However, now he clearly knows that she does not want to have children, and she does not want to discuss with him about children.
At lunchtime, Lin Yue and Mrs. Wu were chatting in the kitchen, while Mrs. Wu was busy cooking. She had to prepare a lunch for more than a dozen people by herself, and Lin Yue's sisters heard Lin Yue say that her cooking was delicious, and she wanted to come to her house for dinner. And Lin Yue was powerless to refuse, her group of sisters were all masters whose skin was thicker than pigskin.
"I'm sorry, who let you have no restaurant here, they have to come, and I can't do anything." Lin Yue followed behind Mrs. Wu's buttocks, and said embarrassedly while helping to hand things over. In normal times, she wouldn't even be in the kitchen. What do women do in the kitchen? The fumes in the kitchen are still damaging to the skin. But this time, she killed Mrs. Wu, a busy person, as an old mother to cook for others, can she not help others?
"Oops, you've said sorry more than a dozen times, I don't blame you this time, I won't take it as an example. Seriously, I think there is a real shortage of restaurants in our village, and we see that more and more people are coming to play, but there is not even a small restaurant to taste the local characteristics. Mrs. Wu said while stir-frying the spicy meat that Lin Yue had specially ordered.
"Look, I know that every time I come, I can give you a certain economic boost! Haha, I'm Hercules! Lin Yue pretended to be relaxed.
"You cow, you are powerful, you are the bravest, alas, get out of the way, I'll take the soy sauce." After Mrs. Wu finished frying this table of dishes, she had to prepare hot pot for Xu Ming's brothers. Everyone didn't have enough of the hot pot they ate last night, so they asked for another meal at noon today.
"Madam, if you want me to say, your skills are so good, how good it is to open a restaurant hot pot city or something, just with your skills, it will definitely be a big hit." Lin Yue said with a flattering smile while tasting the spicy shrimp that had just come out of the pot.
"Well, I don't have the skills, you treat me as the Monkey King. The recent memories of the factory are not good, and I'm worried. It seems that we have to find a way to transform. Mrs. Wu said.
"Well, indeed, the last time you told me that you wanted to be a supermarket sales channel, I think it's okay. Everyone bought it home and made it at home. Of course, your franchise stores will definitely be affected, so it is better for you to develop different products, some for supermarket sales, and some for franchise stores. Lin Yue said while eating.
"I'm thinking about it, how can it be so easy, take your time, don't rush anyway. Come on, try this, steamed cod, how about it, this is the first time I made it, I made this juice myself when I was a child, you have the most mouthful, you try it. Mrs. Wu knows that it is good for children to eat fish, so since Xiao Xue'er added complementary food, she has tried to learn to make all kinds of fish, hoping that children can eat more fish in the future and become smarter.
"Haha, delicious, delicious, you made it so delicious this time, I guess they will come to your house next time they come, don't blame me then." When the time comes, you will blame yourself, who made you cook so delicious. Can't you be a little lazy, a little slippery, and make the food a little unpalatable? Lin Yue couldn't help but take another bite after eating, and said playfully.
"It's delicious, you're stained with Xiao Xue'er's light, you're her taster." Mrs. Wu said with a smile.
Just as Mrs. Wu and Lin Yue were busy in the kitchen, at the small tea table in the courtyard outside, Xu Ming and Xu Lie were drinking tea and chatting. Xu Wan and Mo Ti went to the back mountain to see the apricot blossoms, and said that they would come back later for dinner. The house was occupied by a group of Lin Yue's sisters, and the two of them had to find a place to settle here.
"Your mental state hasn't been good lately, what's wrong, what's on your mind?" When chatting with Xu Wan yesterday, Xu Lie didn't say much. After meeting, he always listened more and talked less, and looked like he was full of thoughts.
"Well, it's something confusing. I don't even know how to speak, you know, I like Lin Yue, I've liked her for a long time. Xu Lie said with emotion. However, when I was actually with her, I found that it was not the case at all, I didn't even know how to express my feelings, I, I was, I was, very distressed. Xu Lie said.
"Actually, if Madam hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you liked Lin Yue a long time ago. You like her, why don't you express it early? Also, don't you feel like you have a problem with your relationship handling? You like people but don't tell them, you are with them, and you don't know how to get along with them. No two people are born 100% compatible, they need to run in, and you need to take the initiative to find a way to solve the problem, instead of blindly being distressed. Xu Ming said.
"Probably, maybe it's my problem, but I really, feel like I've done my best, and I don't know why, I feel like we're getting more and more distanced from each other. Her request, I really, really hard to meet. Perhaps, at the beginning, I should have always hidden this love and always been the person behind her. Xu Lie said with some sadness.
"Do you regret it?" Xu Ming asked rhetorically.
"No, it's not regrets, I've never regretted being with her." Xu Lie quibbled.
"No, you just regret it, but you don't dare to admit it, you have always treated things like this? Don't you know that this inconsistency of yours hurts? Maybe your feelings are not clear enough, but you must not say this kind of thing in front of Lin Yue. Xu Ming said.
"Probably, ah, I'm annoying." Xu Lie said helplessly.
"Adjust your emotions slowly, you sort out your emotions before you speak. Be cautious, and then be cautious. Xu Ming said.
Xu Lie nodded seriously, and didn't say anything more, he didn't know what to say at all. Some problems may not be a problem at all in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of the parties, they are indeed big problems. He needs time, to think about it, to digest it.
"What are you two talking about?" Lin Yue's voice came, interrupting Xu Lie's thoughts.
"It's nothing, talk about when you can eat today." Xu Ming said with a smile.
"Oh, don't say it, your daughter-in-law is really amazing, my sisters' meals are ready, and they are making fried hot pot base for you there. Don't worry, I'm not hungry for you. However, Xu Ming, why didn't I see you go to the kitchen to help your daughter-in-law. Lin Yue teased Xu Ming.
"It's not to leave room for you, if I help her in the kitchen, you'll still have time to taste the freshly cooked dishes! You should have eaten almost, right? I just took a look, and you're so happy to eat. Xu Ming said.
"So, I'm not here for everyone to taste the taste, I'm not here for myself, don't you say? I have a lot of sacrifice and dedication. None of you can compare to me. Lin Yue said cheekily.
"Okay, you are great, I don't argue with you, I can't argue with you, you two talk and taste my daughter-in-law's tea. I'm going to cook with my daughter-in-law. After Xu Ming finished speaking, he walked away.
Lin Yue glanced at Xu Lie, who was full of sadness, and didn't know what to say, and didn't want to stay depressed with him, so she said with a smile: "You drink here first, my group of sisters call me, I'll eat with them for a while, otherwise, I won't be able to eat a bite." After saying that, he quickly left.
What's going on, I hide from my husband, I don't want to be alone with my husband, this is a big problem, when did I become so fond of avoiding problems. Lin Yue thought.
There was a lot of commotion in the house, Mrs. Wu and Xu Ming served the dishes and the hot pot came out one after the other, and Xu Lie hurriedly cleaned up the tea table. It seems that this meal can only be eaten here, but it is also a good enjoyment to bask in the sun and blow the spring breeze and eat a warm little hot pot here.
Xu Wan and Mo Yuan also came back one after another, they went to the back mountain to smell the fragrance of apricot blossoms for most of the day, and both of them were almost drunk. If it weren't for the fact that they were really hungry, the two of them would have to spend some time over there before coming back.
"Wow, I didn't eat well yesterday, I must eat more today." Mo Yuan said happily while washing her hands. Yesterday, in order not to disturb their brothers' heart-to-heart words, he and Mrs. Wu made some food alone, but they couldn't eat the little hot pot that smelled fragrant at all.
"Well, me too, I only cared about it yesterday, and I couldn't eat it well, I must eat more today to make up for it, I've been busy all morning, and I'm tired to death." Xu Ming, today you are responsible for serving tea and pouring water, and we are responsible for eating, drinking and having fun. You know. Mrs. Wu said as she poured the sliced meat into the bottom of the pot.
"Okay, today, you are great, and we will serve you." After Xu Ming finished speaking with a smile, he deliberately walked behind Mrs. Wu and rubbed her shoulder. to show their sincerity.
"Okay, you, fake, come, give you a taste, my newly created side dish, cold toon, you can see if it's delicious." Mrs. Wu sandwiched the side dishes into Xu Ming's mouth and said.
"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious, wife, you're amazing!" Xu Ming said with emotion.
The two of you show affection back and forth, and you don't care about other people's feelings at all. Xu Wan, Xu Lie and Mo Yuan on the side all rolled their eyes and looked at the two of them, seeing when they were going to show. However, the two of them usually get along like this, how do you know what the three people next to you think in their hearts, you still go your own way.
"You guys, why don't you eat it, what's the matter, you gobbled it up yesterday, and you're embarrassed to eat it today?" Mrs. Wu saw that she and Xu Ming were eating, and realized that the people next to her were not eating, so she spoke.
"Well, good, eat, eat." Mo Yuan sat down and picked up chopsticks and said.
Xu Wan and Xu Lie on the side also began to eat, they were also hungry, if it weren't for Lin Yue's sisters who delayed things, they would have eaten a long time ago.
"Delicious, delicious." Mo Yuan said happily while eating.
"It's delicious, if it's delicious, you can eat more." Xu Wan sandwiched a piece of the most tender meat into Mo Yuan's bowl and said.
Xu Lie looked at everyone's elated appearance, everyone was loving and harmonious, only he had a bitter face, which was really a bit of a bad scenery. So, he swallowed his unhappiness and joined everyone's dinner with a smile. He also likes to eat delicious food. Something delicious can make you forget your troubles for a while.
"Coming, coming, I'm coming, I'm almost done eating over there, I'm going to join here, I'm going to taste this little hot pot that smells like a little hot pot." Lin Yue came out of the room and said.
"Come on, come on, no more meat." Mrs. Wu said with a smile.
"If you don't eat it, you'll have no soup." Mo Yuan stuffed a mouthful full of meat and said.
"Oh, look at you, you don't look good." Lin Yue said with a smile on Mo Yuan.
Lin Yue sat down beside Xu Lie, snatched Xu Lie's bowl and chopsticks, sat down and ate it in a big gulp, more than Mo Yuan stuffed into his mouth.
"Well, you're the one who has a chance." Xu Wan laughed at Lin Yue.
"Wife Protector." Lin Yue sighed.
But no, as long as Lin Yue said Mo Ti something, Xu Wan would definitely fight back. Really, Xu Wan is such a big man, why is he so small-bellied. Mo Yuan didn't say anything herself. Why is this Xu Wan so careful. Lin Yue looked at Xu Wan's cold face, looked at Xu Lie's somewhat indifferent face, and suddenly became lost. However, she will not drop her chopsticks and skip meals because of this, she is all about turning depression into food. Don't eat such a good meal, don't grieve your stomach!
Lin Yue angrily snatched all the meat around Xu Lie into her bowl, how can others know that they love their wives and spoil their wives, Xu Lie is like a piece of wood. Lin Yue was depressed.
