Chapter 7 Family Dinner
The highest-grade induction cooker boiled the cauldron above, the pot was already boiling, and blisters rolled up on the fiery red soup from time to time, and a mist rose from the mouth of the pot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Around the info cooker is a stainless steel basin filled with fresh vegetables and tender meats. Although it is a little shabby, it is obvious that this is eating hot pot.
Li Mingcheng, Daisy, and his aunt and uncle sat around the dining table. Today is the weekend, the Carlisles are off tomorrow, and the family rarely gets together for a reunion dinner. The idea of eating hot pot was proposed by Li Mingcheng, and was happily accepted by his uncle Richard, who was keen on Chinese food, and Daisy, who had just been captured by Chinese food. The hot pot base was purchased by my aunt Li Hongsu after work today, and it tasted very good.
Middle-aged Richard Carlisle saw the opportunity to clip a chopsticks of beef that had just floated, blew a few mouthfuls and couldn't wait to put it in his mouth, the spicy feeling instantly went from his mouth to his whole body, and he suddenly sweated, he hurriedly took a big sip of the canned beer at hand, pressed down the spicy, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Cool!" Richard let out a very enjoyable exclamation.
Aunt Li Hongsu is a temperamental beauty, and I have to admit that the genes of the old Li family are still quite high-quality, at least in terms of appearance, the family is all handsome guys and beauties. Influenced by Chinese tradition, Li Hongsu is also very elegant when eating, even if he eats hot pot, he is methodical and gentle.
At this point, Daisy is completely different from her mother, she is not skilled in chopsticks, she tried several times but couldn't pick up anything, she stared at her in a hurry, and finally simply picked up a fork and inserted a piece of beef directly into her mouth.
"Oh oh oh ......" and then she was tormented by the double taste of piping hot and hot so that her pretty face turned red, her mouth panted straight up, and her free left hand fanned wildly in her ear.
Li Mingcheng was gloating next to him: "In our Huaxia, there is a saying that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." That's the kind of person you're talking about! ”
"You, when will you grow up, it's not as mature as the town." Li Hongsu glared at her living treasure daughter angrily and smiled, and handed over a bottle of iced Coke.
Daisy took the Coke and hurriedly poured a big sip, relieved herself, she rolled her eyes at Li Mingcheng, who was holding back her laughter, turned her head and snorted at her mother: "He is only mature in front of you, and he is naïve at other times!" ”
"Hey, Daisy, beware of me suing you for slander! How naïve am I? Li Mingcheng retorted.
"You're naïve about everything!" Daisy gave him another blank look.
"You're naïve!"
"You're naïve!"
"You are the most naïve!"
"Okay, don't make any noise, saliva is spraying into the pot!" Li Hongsu smiled indulgently and scolded the two of them, ending this unnutritious bickering.
Richard, who was on the side, feasted on his head and drank two sips of cold beer from time to time, as if he was not affected by foreign objects.
Li Hongsu smiled helplessly and shook her head, sure enough, as soon as there were many children in the family, it became noisy.
But she also had fun. That's what family is called, isn't it?
After the sweaty hot pot feast, it was time for a quiet and peaceful dessert.
As the hostess of the house, Li Hongsu also has to deal with the aftermath of dinner, washing the kitchenware in the kitchen. Richard sat leisurely on the sofa and enjoyed the pure freshly ground black coffee brewed by his wife. On another couch next to him were two energetic young men, Li Mingcheng and Daisy, who were fighting over the only pillow in the living room.
What's playing on TV is the veteran soap opera "Everybody Loves Raymond", which has been filmed for its ninth season since 1996, but it should be the last season to come.
Richard took a sip of coffee and glanced at his nephew who was fighting with his daughter, because he loved his wife deeply, he loved the house and Wuxia, and he also liked this Chinese nephew.
"Leo, how are you doing here? Can you still adapt? Richard asked in a loud voice.
Li Mingcheng's subordinates in the fight made a move, and there was a pillow on the door of his head, he glared at the culprit cousin fiercely, and signaled that he would settle accounts with you later!
"It's good, Nashville is a beautiful city." Facing the elders, Li Mingcheng became calm.
"That's right, Leo, you're the kind of person who can eat anywhere." Richard laughed.
"You've won a prize." Li Mingcheng replied with a shy smile.
"Of course he's messing around, you don't know yet, he's got a girlfriend!" Daisy suddenly spoke out and reported it.
"What!" There was an exclamation from the kitchen, and Li Hongsu rushed out with a surprised face, "Xiaocheng, are you in love?" Or an American girl? ”
"Anne, don't be so nervous." Richard persuaded that Anne was Li Hongsu's English name, "Leo is a big boy, which is normal, many American children have girlfriends when they are in elementary school." ”
"But he's a Chinese kid!" Li Hongsu raised his voice.
Li Mingcheng glared at Daisy, and hurriedly explained to his aunt: "Auntie, don't listen to her nonsense, she's just a friend." ”
"But you said you liked her." Daisy continued to break the news, "You dare to say it, don't you? ”
Li Mingcheng wanted to rush over and tear up his "good" cousin's mouth.
"Leo, uncle supports you, boldly pursue love, this is what men should do." How does Richard look like he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
"Richard!" Li Hongsu yelled at her husband, she looked really angry.
Richard quickly closed his mouth and raised his hands in surrender. In their family, Li Hongsu has always had the final say in educating children.
Glaring at her husband and daughter, Li Hongsu looked at Li Mingcheng and her expression became kind.
"Xiaocheng, my aunt understands that children of your age will have a good impression of the opposite sex, which is inevitable, but it is not necessarily love." Li Hongsu walked over, looked at Li Mingcheng gently, and said bitterly, "Moreover, she is in the United States, and you will return to Huaxia after the summer vacation, even if you are together, you are not going to separate in the end, which is not a good thing for you." ”
"Well, auntie, I know, I'm worried about you, but we're not there yet." Li Mingcheng had no choice but to be good.
"It's for the best. Xiaocheng has always been a smart kid since you were a child, and my aunt believes that you will make the right choice. Is that right? Li Hongsu smiled and gently touched Li Mingcheng's head.
"Yes, auntie." Li Mingcheng nodded.
Li Hongsu didn't say more, she believed that when it came to this, her nephew should be enough to distinguish the weight.
After Li Hongsu left, Li Mingcheng looked at Daisy, who was frowning at him beside him, and suspected that she must have premeditated.
"Leo, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Seeing Li Mingcheng coming over, Daisy showed a bright smile.
Now Li Mingcheng is confirmed, this girl is a heart!
After watching a few episodes of American dramas, it was late at night, and the family went back to their rooms after saying goodnight to each other.
Li Mingcheng lay on the soft Simmons and found that he had insomnia.
As soon as she closed her eyes, the blonde girl's smile took over. He was suddenly desperate to see her again, or even just hear about her.
She must be busy right now, right? Yes, recording an album is not an easy job.
Will she think of herself as occasionally as she does? According to her character, the next time we meet, will she still recognize herself?
For the first time since Li Mingcheng was reborn, he felt anxious, and he found that there were some things that were not under his control.
Turning his head to look at the guitar given by the beautiful woman at the head of the bed, Li Mingcheng decided that it was time to speed up his road to fame.
