It was already dark, the carriage turned to Dengcao Hutong, Li Guolou and Yelia still entered through the back door of the Wei Mansion, the two of them seemed to have done something wrong, and quickly jumped into the house, and behind Xie Ma hurriedly closed the door.

Mother Xie said: "Xiaolou, grandma is in a hurry, just waiting for you to eat?" ”

Li Guolou said: "What about Lingling? ”

Mother Xie smiled and said, "Are you using noodles and clay figurines?" ”

Li Guolou was furious and said, "Nonsense! This is to be damned, and there will be a ruined family. Hurry up and buy some plasticine for Lingling, and I will play with her plasticine. ”

Mother Xie sighed: "Xiaolou, when you think of playing plasticine with Lingling, she will not be interested in it for a long time." ”

Li Guolou heard Mama Xie's reproachful tone, and defended: "Don't worry, Mama Xie, when I come back from Tianjin, I will be a hen that hatches chicks, and I will no longer go out, and the whole family will celebrate the Spring Festival happily." ”

Yelia whispered, "Mike, I'll be your chick and let you hatch on me." ”

Li Guolou ignored Yelia and said loudly: "Everyone has worked so hard! Along the way, he took the initiative to greet the servants and took off his hat to salute.

Mother Xie couldn't look at it, and said, "Xiaolou, this is not good, how can you salute the servant, it is not in accordance with the rules." ”

Yelia interjected: "Xie Ma, this is the rule of Westerners, it is a manifestation of gentlemanly demeanor, the richer the more fake, you let him show off, wait for a few days and there will be no addiction, and it is the lord with his nostrils facing the sky." ”

Mother Xie nodded and said, "Oh, I'm relieved, otherwise I will treat my subordinates like Xiaolou, so what's the strength of life." ”

Li Guolou defended himself: "You don't understand that this is a mental technique, to make your subordinates unable to understand your mind, if you are happy today, that's it, if you are unhappy tomorrow, you will beat them, and let them be afraid all day long, this is a kind of magic to control people's hearts." ”

No one can say anything about Li Guolou, and under the guidance of an oil lamp, Li Guolou led Xie Xiuzhu and Yelia into the inner house, and said loudly together: "We are back!" ”

A bright figure jumped over directly, Zheng Lingling was about to snatch her father from the hands of the two grandmothers, Li Guolou walked into the dining room with her daughter Zheng Lingling in her arms.

It is also troublesome to have a lot of women, and you have to wait for a long time to eat, first to wash your face and remove your makeup, and then to talk about some gossip. Li Guolou didn't join them, and told Zheng Lingling a fairy tale first. The story of "Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf" is so terrible, Zheng Lingling is not happy to hear it, it is not good to have such a fairy tale at all, and there is a bloody and unsatisfactory ending.

After listening to the story, Chen Xiangfang said: "Xiaolou, don't tell this kind of story to Lingling in the future, it's too scary." ”

Xie Xiuzhu echoed: "Grandma is right, fairy tales shouldn't be like this, Xiaolou, you have to adapt it, and you have to adapt it to a version suitable for children." ”

Li Guolou said: "I'm talking about the version that boys like, werewolves and vampires are all classics of Westerners, if you don't believe it, you can ask Yelia." ”

Yelia rolled his eyes and said, "Mike, what did you say about vampires before eating, it made us lose our appetite, and I wanted to vomit when I saw oysters." ”

Xie Xiuzhu picked up a bloody oyster and said suspiciously: "Grandma, can you really eat this?" ”

Chen Xiangfang nodded and said, "Second grandma, believe me it's delicious, dip it in mustard, close your eyes, put it in your mouth and chew." Oops! Will you eat it, wipe the corners of your mouth clean. It's very expensive ingredients that you can't waste. ”

Li Guolou broke open an oyster and said, "Lingling is not allowed to eat it, the child's intestines have not grown well, and this kind of food is not digested." ”

Yelia looked at the table full of dishes and sighed: "Grandma, don't make so many dishes in the future, don't you want me to gain weight like this?" ”

Chen Xiangfang glanced at her and said, "Yelia, this is a send-off wine prepared for you, didn't you say that you won't come back?" You only have one meal to live. ”

Yelia nodded and said, "Grandma is right, at the Last Supper, there were thirteen disciples by Jesus' side, but now it is at most three and a half, and I still have a chance to eat again." ”

Hearing about Jesus' Last Supper, Li Guolou thought that Elijah was a Catholic, and said angrily: "Elijah, you are a Catholic, pray quickly, and then eat, come and let us join hands and let Elijah pray to God Almighty for a rich supper and a peaceful day." ”

Chen Xiangfang was surprised: "Xiaolou, you can do this kind of thing." ”

Li Guolou said: "Of course! In English Catholics, I had to pray every day when I ate, otherwise I wouldn't even drink soup. ”

Yelia shouted, "No jokes, no talking. I have come to pray, and God Almighty, thank you for all that you have given me, for giving us a good supper, and for our whole family to gather together in prayer in peace. These people are not Catholics yet, but I will obey God's will to lead them to the path of faith in you, and ask God to give me the strength to continue to pursue great love, and I will do everything in my power to carry the burden of this foreign family. Amen! ”

Yelia was touched by Li Guolou, but fortunately Li Guolou reminded her to pray, otherwise there would be many more things to confess in the church. Suddenly, it seemed to her that it was the point of coming here that God had asked her to save these heathens, or to give these unbelievers a chance to be reborn. With faith comes a reason to stay here, and Yelia feels that she is a noble person who wants to put down roots here to spread the love of God.

"Amen!" Li Guolou and others said together, only people with faith will gather, not to mention that there is boundless love here.

At the dinner table, candlesticks were lit and red wine were tasted, five people dressed up decently, speaking decent words, the maid was busy under the command of Xie's mother, and Yelia's personal maid Sheri Jones served Yelia alone.

Chen Xiangfang told her daughter Zheng Lingling what she was busy with today? Tomorrow, I will take Zheng Lingling to Baozhi's room to take photos. Zheng Lingling was curious and a little afraid of the werewolf uncle's photographer Roberts, and shook her head and said that she would not go to Baozhi's room.

Chen Xiangfang was extremely dissatisfied and said: "Xiaolou, if you don't make this kind of boundless joke, why are you making this kind of joke again, what should you do if Lingling has nightmares at night?" In this way, Lingling saw Roberts and promised to cry immediately, how dare she take pictures. ”

Li Guolou's apology is useless, no woman forgives him, let him reflect on himself, scaring children is done by despicable people. Li Guolou once again promised that in the future, he would only talk about happy things at the dinner table, and jokes could only tell humorous jokes, and he would not tell bad jokes and jokes that would spray rice, and he should be as strict with himself as a nobleman and lenient with others, and even let the housekeeper do the things of beating and scolding the servants, so that everyone could see that he was a noble person and no longer joked with the servants.

Li Guolou couldn't accept the three ladies who came up with a reason to ask him to comply with a request, and said: "Three grandmothers, I am still young and have to study every day, and I can only talk about one rule a day in the future, this is the first rule set for today's dinner, so after today's rules, let me continue to eat." ”

Yelia helped Li Guolou and said: "Mike is right, you have to talk about the rules when you eat, but the rules are not done well, let's talk about it later, now we have a toast, for us to be able to achieve boundless love." Cheers! ”

"Boundless for great love! Cheers! ”

"Mom, what is boundless love?" Zheng Lingling couldn't help but ask.

Chen Xiangfang hurriedly explained: "Well, this great love without boundaries means that the Frenchman Yelia crossed thousands of mountains and rivers to the Qing Empire to find true love, this is love without borders." As for great love, there are four women here who all love their fathers, and the love of the four of us combined is great love. Got it? ”

Zheng Lingling understood, nodded with a smile, she was a prodigy who understood as soon as she said it.

Li Guolou exclaimed: "Grandma, you explained it so well, there is no trace of loopholes, I can't make it up." ”

Chen Xiangfang glanced at everyone and said: "This is the words on the table, you all have to learn something, Lingling has been sitting in this position for at least four or five years, you are not allowed to take her badly." ”

Yelia just didn't hear it, and quipped: "Lingling, what kind of man are you looking for in the future?" ”

Chen Xiangfang said angrily: "Lingling, don't listen to the nonsense of the third grandmother, let's eat pudding." ”

Zheng Lingling said in a milky voice: "Mom, didn't you say that it's rude not to answer people's questions?" I can honestly tell the third grandmother that when I grow up, I want to be like my mother and find a man younger than me, so that I can control him. ”

In the midst of laughter, Li Guolou looked at his first daughter, it is not easy for Zheng Lingling to have lofty goals at such a young age. He didn't have this kind of goal since he was a child, but God made people will, so that I could only accept that "great love" was the identity of three widows while I found great love.

After drinking hot tea, the tiredness of the day passed, and Yelia said that she had never been so tired and had done so many things, and that she used to do only one thing a day.

Liguolou hurriedly coughed, afraid that Yelia would say what he had done?

Yelia was extremely dissatisfied, ran to Li Guolou's side and twisted his arm, and said angrily: "I'm talking about lightheartedness, what are you pretending to cough!" Lingling can be the Snow White in fairy tales. ”

Zheng Lingling shook her head and said, "I don't want to be Snow White, those little dwarfs are so disgusting, and they still sleep in one room." I'm going to do Cinderella and Prince Charming dance. ”

Yelia squinted and said, "Did you hear Mike, this is the cry of the masses, you have to make a lot of money and raise a band so that we can dance after the meal." ”

Li Guolou said with a smile: "Yelia, what you said is a fool, there is really a band at home, and you can't be interested in dancing." You will be happy when we go outside to dance, it is a good idea to invite the band to teach the second grandmother to dance, and then let Lingling pull her mother to dance, and the eldest grandmother will also learn. Lingling said okay? The burden of teaching mom to dance is left to you. ”

Zheng Lingling said in a milky voice: "Okay! Mom can dance, let's have one. ”

In the clapping and cheering, the big-hearted Chen Xiangfang and Zheng Lingling turned in circles, and Li Guolou couldn't hold back the laughter when he looked at the scene of the whole family laughing together.
