Chapter 23 Human Affection
Ding Wenhua's words were tingling, and Ling Li had long been used to it.
The so-called-stirring stick life is Ding Wenhua, and there is really no need to deal with this person who does not show his sense of existence from time to time every day.
Ling Li lowered her head and wiped the table in front of her with a rag soaked in hot water, carefully removed the oil stains from each corner, and changed into a dry towel to absorb the water stains on the tabletop.
Ding Wenhua saw that Ling Li didn't reply and regarded her as nothing, and there was a little anger in his voice: "You are kind, if you attract a string of people who eat white food, I will see what you will do!" ”
Ling Li wiped the table and straightened up, and finally said lightly: "Old rice and sour radish slices in the old altar, you can eat such rice, there must be some real difficulties, and you are not a person who is cheated and deceived." ”
Seeing that Ling Li said it reasonably, Ding Wenhua couldn't find it made by hair.
After that, her eyes glanced at Nan Zhiyi on the side, as if she had caught a new handle: "Ling Li, just eat and drink for nothing, and take others with you, eat your uncle, you have to drink the northwest wind!" ”
Ling Li said what she said just now, and she didn't want to deal with Ding Wenhua, but she insinuated that the flames of war had burned Nan Zhiyi, so she couldn't bear it anymore.
She threw the towel in her hand on the table and raised her voice: "I'm not the one who is good at letting others raise me, just a treat, I have already handed over the money to my uncle, don't worry about it, don't stare at other people's money bags for a day." ”
Ding Wenhua was just habitually stabbing Ling Li twice, but he didn't expect Ling Li, who had been swallowing her anger, to reply, and then looked at Nan Zhiyi, who was sitting on the side, although she was silent, but her height and legs were not like people she could mess with.
But she has always been arrogant, and she can't swallow the breath in her heart, so she can't keep singing the duet: "You are out of breath, and you have found a man to support you." Pity your cousin, you can't use it to guard the mountains of gold and silver, and you have to go out to work to earn money, and in the end you will make wedding clothes for others. ”
Ling Li heard her say something ugly, opened her mouth and was about to go back, but Nan Zhiyi next to her called her, and asked slowly: "There is a plant called Cistanche, also known as Jiang Yun, goblin, and some people call it desert ginseng, do you know what it is?" ”
Ling Li was stunned by his question, temporarily put down Ding Wenhua's matter, and looked at him: "What? ”
Nan Zhiyi smiled and asked again: "There are also plants called Cistanche, also known as single root grass, rabbit stick, scientific name Liedang, can also be used in medicine, do you know what it is?" ”
Ling Li shook her head in confusion, indicating that she didn't know.
Nan Zhiyi stacked down the soup bowl heavily, his face full of disgust: "Why don't you know anything?" So stupid! ”
Ling Li was just angry when Ding Wenhua said it, and she was still snatched away by Nan Zhiyi, and she crossed her waist and wanted to return two words to him, but Nan Zhiyi winked at her, with a smile hidden in her eyes, which obviously had an expression of hindsight, making Ling Li swallow the words that were about to blurt out.
Sure enough, he cleared his throat: "Then you know, what do these two have in common?" ”
This time, Ling Li was asked again. She tilted her head and thought for a long time, with a little temptation in her tone: "It's all medicine?" ”
Nan Zhiyi shook his head: "That's not right. ”
She replied, "That's all Cistanche?" ”
Nan Zhiyi shook his head again, and the smile on the corner of his mouth made Ling Li confused.
He put down the chopsticks in his hand, tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and said slowly: "These two are parasitic plants, the kind that can't live without the host." If it hadn't been in the right place, it would have been blown away by a crooked wind. Moreover, even if you soak in the nutrient solution every day, you can only grow so tall and look cowardly. So, it's better to be a weed, maybe one day it will grow into a towering tree. Do you understand my words? ”
Ling Li finally came to his senses, originally thinking that Nan Zhiyi was just deliberately diverting the topic, but it turned out to be an insinuation, but he used his own way to govern others.
No matter how stupid "his person" Ding Wenhua is, he has long heard the contempt in and out of his words.
However, these two people didn't talk to her, and they kept discussing herbs, weeds, or something, and every sentence had nothing to do with her, but they poked the heart.
She was in a panic with a breath in her chest, but she didn't know how to refute it, she stood with a red face for a while, and simply rushed away with the child in her arms.
Ling Li glanced at Ding Wenhua's back, turned his head and said helplessly, "Look, I'm angry." ”
Nan Zhiyi had an innocent expression: "I'm just talking to you about plant knowledge, I think she suddenly feels that she is interested in plants, so go back and study hard." ”
After speaking, he stopped talking, picked up his chopsticks and lowered his head to continue eating.
After that, Ling Li went into the kitchen to serve the dishes twice, and when he had to come to see him, the dishes on the plate were almost finished, and he kept shouting "good support" with his stomach up.
Ling Li couldn't help but persuade him while cleaning up the tableware on the tabletop: "You eat too fast, it's not good for your stomach." ”
Nan Zhiyi stroked his stomach and looked funny: "What you say is exactly the same as Aunt Tian often nagging me." ”
"Aunt Tian?" Ling Li was confused.
Nan Zhi smiled at her and said, "You have seen it, 1802, Tian Zhengyan." ”
Hearing that it was the cheating scumbag, Ling Li only let out a faint "oh", and there was no other expression except for a trace of contempt on his face.
Nan Zhiyi was waiting for her to exclaim, but this time it was a little strange.
He tilted his head to look at her with surprise on his face: "Isn't Tian Zhengyan a big bull in your industry?" Why don't you even worship it? In order to test his doctor, many fans broke their heads, which is like I can only choose from a bunch of dull-eyed otaku every year. ”
Ling Li was stopped by him. Tian Zhengyan? In retrospect, the name seems somewhat familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere.
She stroked her hair and smiled a little awkwardly: "I focus on practice, and I don't seem to know so much about academics." Besides, I didn't study this as an undergraduate. ”
Nan Zhiyi was taking a sip of tea, and was so shocked that she almost choked. It was easy to swallow, and his eyes widened when he turned his face: "Then what are you studying?" ”
She replied faintly, "Computer." ”
This answer surprised Nan Zhiyi a little, and shook his head and smiled for a while: "Are you an owl?" ”
Ling Li's black question mark face: "Huh? ”
Nan Zhiyi smiled happily: "As a bird, owls and parrots can only climb trees and can't fly, what about you, you are obviously not good at interpersonal communication, but you don't have a good relationship with the computer, and you go to fight with the law, it's not the same." Why do you want to be a lawyer? ”
Ling Li was stunned for a moment. Why did you choose this path that was not easy to take in the first place, and why did you insist on going so far?
This involves too many old people and the past, as well as when she was blinded by lard or blind to the wrong person. Anyway, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell for a while.
She bit her lip and replied vaguely: "That's a long story, anyway, it's a coincidence." ”
Ling Li's reluctance to say it made Nan Zhiyi not know how to answer.
I thought that Fan Mei would be like other girls who had studied law, but when she heard the name of his good friend, she was excited and clamored for him to be introduced. As a result, the child's calm appearance made him not know how to lead the topic in the direction he wanted to say.
After a while, he finally narrowed his eyes and decided to forcibly break the topic: "Anyway, if you choose this line, you should deepen your knowledge of the law." If you want to get into graduate school in Laotian, I can help. Although he doesn't have a master's degree, he will definitely listen to what I say, and maybe he will miss the question for you, so you just need to take care of English politics. ”
This was originally a well-intentioned and flattering remark, but Ling Li was stepped on as if she was hit by the pain point, and she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her eyes, and her mouth was a little bitter.
For these academic fanatics, the graduate school exam is probably a piece of cake, but for her, she has failed that exam for two years in a row, and her score is not as good as a year, and she is really not in the mood to try to fall in the same place for a third time.
Ling Li shook her head, with a little emotion in her voice: "I'm a lawyer, I don't have to be a nerd who reads a master's degree and a doctor's degree in Saint Seiya." Besides, when a woman gets a Ph.D., she will be disliked as a third gender. ”
Nan Zhiyi was immediately distorted by her words, and knocked on the table dissatisfied, his expression became rare and serious: "Don't point at the monk and scold the bald donkey, eating the vegetables, grains and fruits improved by the doctors and monks, but saying that they are nerds behind their backs?" Also, why is a female doctor disliked? That's a bunch of stinky men who can't read other people's hearts, don't take it seriously! ”
Ling Li suddenly remembered that the "abbot" in front of him was in charge of a large group of "doctors and monks", and he complained quickly for a while, which was indeed quite a bit like he couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour.
She quickly explained to him, "I didn't mean that. I'm self-aware, I'm really not good at reading, thank you for your kindness. ”
Nan Zhiyi looked at her, first looking like he wanted to speak and then stopped, and then finally nodded: "Okay, you just admit it." ”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand again, shook three fingers in front of Ling Li, and said emphatically, "You owe me three favors." The first time, I helped you go to court and win the lawsuit; The second time, you beat me up without saying a word, and I didn't pursue it; The third time, just now I wanted to recommend you to take the master's degree, but you didn't want to take the exam. ”
After a pause, he suddenly raised another finger: "I forgot, just now I helped you teach a middle-aged housewife who has nothing to look for, four times." ”
The corners of Ling Li's mouth twitched, and she laughed at him twice, cleaned up the plates and chopsticks, and prepared to take them into the kitchen to wash.
When I turned around, I couldn't help muttering, Nan Dashen is so strange today, how can he worry about these trivial things with her?
After nine o'clock in the evening, the guests gradually dispersed, Ling Li and her uncle and aunt had dinner, the table was cleaned up, Nan Zhiyi hadn't left yet, picked up the tartary buckwheat tea that had been changed three times, and took a small sip.
Ling Li was doing the work in his hands, and he couldn't help but look back at him. On such a cold day, he has a suit inside, a thin coat outside, and no sweater, is it really not cold?
Moreover, I don't know if it's an illusion, I always feel that he has a vague gaze, and glances at her from time to time, which makes her feel a little chill down her spine and a little uncomfortable.
Ling Li finished cleaning up the last table, raised her wrist and looked at her watch, slowly paced in front of him, and said, "It's already past ten o'clock, Teacher Nan, don't you have to go home?" Mi Li and Guli will definitely miss you very much. ”
Nan Zhiyi glanced at her obliquely, stood up and said lightly: "No need to give an eviction order, I'll leave immediately." ”
was told the central matter, Ling Li stood in place and laughed, very embarrassed.
However, Nan Zhiyi stood up but didn't move, looked at Ling Li, who was also motionless, with a thoughtful expression, and said after a few seconds: "Why don't I send you home first?" ”
