Chapter 178: A Lifetime Event
Sending off the neighbors who praised her, her mother Long Lanhua rolled up her sleeves and said to her sister Li Meng: "Mengmeng, your eldest brother is back today, and the whole family is reunited." Let's go kill a duck, and I'll make your favorite beer duck in the evening. ‘
The three siblings are very fond of eating beer duck, the method is to use duck blood to stir potato flour to make duck blood Wang, then cut the duck blood Wang into strips, and then use fresh chili peppers to stir-fry blood Wang and duck meat, and finally pour beer on it, collect the juice out of the pot.
The sweetness of the duck meat, coupled with the smoothness of the blood, coupled with the flavor of the chili pepper, tastes delicious and refreshing, which is the most delicious dish made by Li Chao's mother in his impression.
Li Meng happily responded and happily prepared to follow her mother to catch ducks.
Li Chao opened the trunk of the car and said to his parents and younger siblings: "Parents, don't be busy with dinner, I bought some New Year's goods and gifts to go home, Li Liang, Li Meng, let's move these things home first." ‘
The younger brother Li Liang is an honest child, and he came up to help carry the New Year's goods.
As soon as Li Meng heard that there was a gift, a pair of big eyes sparkled, with a light of excitement, and hurriedly ran over, looked at the rich New Year's goods in the trunk, and said happily: "Wow, brother, you brought a lot of things back." ‘
Saying that, Li Meng smiled and stretched out her hand, revealing two small dimples, tilted her head cutely and asked, "Hehe, brother, what gift did you buy from me, show me quickly." ‘
Li Chao's family has two sons and a daughter, and Li Meng is the most favored. Because there is only one baby daughter, other people's families are patriarchal, but Li Chao's family is patriarchal.
Li Chao smiled and slapped Li Meng's hand, "Move things first, and then give you gifts." ‘
'Hee-hee, okay, I knew you were the best, brother, and brought us a gift. 'Sister Li Meng just gave birth to a clever mouth and spoke the most well-behaved.
The three siblings happily moved the New Year's goods and gifts back to the bungalow in front of them.
Entering the bungalow through the door, there is a living room and dining room in the middle, and in the middle is a red lacquered square table, under which are orderly placed cedar stools, which is a place for the family to eat and meet guests.
There are two rooms side by side on the left hand side of the bungalow, Li Chao and his younger brother Li Liang live in one room, and his sister Li Meng lives in the inner one.
On the right-hand side is the kitchen, and on the inside is the bedroom where my parents live.
Mother and sister sorted out the New Year's goods, Li Meng was more greedy, and when she saw the exquisite chocolate, she immediately opened a box, stuffed one into her mother's mouth, and took a sweet bite herself.
Biting into the thick chocolate, my mother smiled happily when she saw seafood such as scallops, hairtail, squid, and cuttlefish, as well as a variety of delicate and delicious Hong Kong-style dim sum.
The family shared a box of chocolates, which was particularly warm. After sorting out the New Year's goods, Li Chao brought out the gifts.
First of all, he handed the delicate jewelry box to his mother, and said to his mother with a smile: "Mom, I bought you some jewelry, see if you like it." ‘
"And my gift!" The mother looked surprised, and her hands trembled with excitement and took the jewelry box.
Mother looked at the beautiful jewelry box, her face flushed, and she was so happy that she didn't know what to say.
Li Meng urged her mother to open it and take a look. When Long Lanhua saw the bright gold rings, necklaces, and earrings in the jewelry box, the mother and daughter exclaimed.
"Mom, take it and try it." Li Meng's big eyes were full of excitement, helping her mother carry the necklace.
After the elegant mother brought rings, necklaces, and earrings, she suddenly became extravagant, and she looked much more graceful and luxurious.
"Mom, you're a lady when you bring it!" Li Meng's little mouth was like being coated with honey, and Long Lanhua smiled when he said it.
The mother smiled and said to Li Chao: "Chaochao, you have a heart." ”
Then, his father took the ring with the carved dragon and put on the leather coat bought by Li Chao, and instantly transformed from a peasant uncle into a charming uncle like Chen Daoming.
When my younger brother got the IPAD, he couldn't put it down, and happily thanked Li Chao again and again.
Seeing that everyone had their favorite gifts, Li Meng couldn't wait, grabbed Li Chao's arm and shook it again and again, and asked excitedly, "Brother, where is my gift?" You take it out quickly, everyone is dying. ”
Li Chao smiled and took out a bag with a big apple logo printed on it.
"Oops" Li Meng couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands and exclaimed, she took the bag happily, and smiled with a delicate face, "It turned out to be an Apple 6, brother, you are amazing, I have never used an Apple mobile phone, I didn't expect you to give me one." ”
Li Chao smiled and encouraged: "Well, you won another first-class scholarship this year, and giving you an iPhone is to praise your excellent academic performance."
You are in your third year, and you must study solid in professional courses. Clinical medicine is broad and profound, study hard, and strive to work in a big hospital in the future. ”
"Thank you, brother, I will definitely study hard, and I will learn from you after graduation, and rely on professional skills to eat!"
Speaking of work, his father Li Xinhua asked suspiciously: "Chaochao, you tell us the truth, is it really so profitable to be a lawyer?" ”
The car he drove back and the gifts he brought back were quite convincing, and my father finally did not say that he was engaged in pyramid schemes.
Li Chao smiled slightly and explained: "Dad, if you can have a case source as a lawyer, you can make money quite quickly." I've had a lot of luck this year and I've got a couple of big cases......"
Li Chao briefly told his father about the big cases he handled this year and the agency fees he collected.
The father was still incredulous, and asked, "Chaochao, you can handle such a big case just after you practice?" Can you make so much money? ”
Li Meng shook the new mobile phone in his hand and said to his father: "Dad, it's not wrong, you look at this video, this is a big reporter from Fenghuang Media interviewing my brother." I've seen the news, my brother is also well-known in the legal world, and he is nicknamed Superman Lawyer! ”
After watching the interview video, Li Xinhua nodded with satisfaction, his face was full of smiles, and he said approvingly: "Chaochao, yes, worthy of being my son, he is so promising as a lawyer." ”
After confirming that Li Chao really became a lawyer, and all the money was earned legally, his parents were greatly relieved.
"Mengmeng, hurry up and let's go kill ducks and chickens."
"Okay, Mom, I'm hungry for you to make beer duck too."
"If you like to eat, kill the fattest duck, I'll get more today, so that the three of you can eat enough."
The simple bungalow is full of warm family affection, and the family happily prepares dinner. It didn't take long for my mother and sister to work together to make a table full of delicacies.
Eating beer duck, stir-fried local chicken, celery stir-fried meat, fried bacon and other hometown dishes, and then talking with my parents, younger brothers and sisters about their respective situations in the past year, laughter and laughter, and the mood is extremely comfortable.
That night, Li Chao slept with his younger brother, and his younger brother excitedly told Li Chao in detail about his study in the past year, and Li Chao also asked his younger brother about the direction and plan of employment after graduation next year, and gave advice for him to find a job.
On the other side, my father and mother were also lying on the bed chatting.
Long Lanhua couldn't suppress the joy in her heart, and the corners of her mouth turned up and said to Li Xinhua with a smile: "Xinhua, we are super super and profitable, and we can earn one or two million a year." ”
Li Xinhua also had a happy face, nodded and said: "He can be regarded as a little improved, he should be able to gain a foothold in Shenpeng." ”
The mother suddenly thought of an important question, and hurriedly shook her father's arm, and said excitedly: "Eh, Xinhua, Chaochao can already settle down, hurry up and introduce him to a girl, so that he can find other girls outside when he arrives." ”
People in rural Xijiang generally do not want their daughters to marry outside, nor do they like their sons to marry daughters-in-law from other places.
For simple farmers, there are many disadvantages for sons to marry daughters-in-law from other places, one is that it is inconvenient for in-laws to communicate with their daughters-in-law; The second is that the son has to run on both sides during the New Year, and when he encounters the woman's strong family, the son has to go to the woman's side for the New Year every year, making it seem like he has no son; The third is that the economic conditions in Xijiang are not good, and the daughter-in-law from other places is not familiar with the place and is easy to be lonely, and she is not used to living a hard life, and it is easy to divorce.
Father was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said with a smile: "We don't have to worry about it, Chaochao went to college, and now his job is so good, he will find it himself." ”
The mother stopped doing it, and said resolutely: "The child's lifelong event is not allowed to be sloppy." If he marries a wife from another place, we still have to speak Mandarin with her at home, and the food is different, we have to eat rice, she has to eat noodles, how do you live this day? ”
Li Xinhua said indifferently: "Sleep, just worry about you, what age is it now, do you think it's still us, and now children will find girlfriends by themselves."
If he likes it, let him find it, it's super to live at home, and we don't want to live with our daughter-in-law, are you so strict? ”
Li Xinhua's indifferent attitude angered Long Lanhua, she immediately lifted the quilt and got up, grabbed his arm, pulled it out, and said dissatisfiedly: "Is there a father like you?" You get up for me. ”
Seeing his wife going crazy, Li Xinhua got up from the quilt and said with a smile: "Orchid, why are you still so angry." I don't sleep well on a cold day, what are you doing when you get up? ”
"Hmph, what are you doing? It's not a lifelong event that is planned to be superb. You, the father, are a hands-off shopkeeper, and your son's marriage is not worth paying attention to!
Let's make it clear now whether we want to introduce the girls in the family to Chaochao. ”
Long Lanhua glared at Li Xinhua angrily, Li Xinhua saw this posture and had to give in, so he had to reply: "Okay, if you want to introduce, you can introduce, as long as Chaochao agrees, it is fate."
However, whose daughter is suitable? ”
Hearing her husband's approval, Long Lanhua smiled and said: "Zong Zhenzhen, the daughter of the old Zong's family who opened the restaurant, grew up with our Chaochao since she was a child, and she is also a college student, studying dance at Hengyang Normal University, she is beautiful and beautiful, and the two of them are a good match." ”
Li Xinhua immediately shook his head, "No, the people of the old clan like to take advantage of a little advantage, and they are stingy, and it is uncomfortable to form a family with their family." ”
"The eldest daughter of the Sun family......" Long Lanhua proposed several proposals, but they were all vetoed by Li Xinhua.
As she spoke, Long Lanhua's eyes suddenly rolled, and she said excitedly: "Xinhua, what do you say about the glass of President Ye's house?" ”
When Li Xinhua heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then said after a while: "The conditions of President Ye's family are much better than ours, can people be willing?" ”
"You, my family's conditions were much better than yours' back then, didn't you still have the cheekiness to come to my house to find me?"
"You...... You ......, you don't have anything to do with mentioning the things of the year. If Chaochao can have the fate to catch up with Liuli, then of course it would be good. ”
"Then it's decided, let's match Chaochao and Liuli!" ……
Li Chao, who was chatting with his younger brother, didn't know that his parents were worried about his life's events! R1152
