Chapter 15: Three Gifts

Li Guolou thought to himself: Let Niuniu and Niuniu hear Chen Xiangfang say "the story of Sister-in-law Qian" with a big mouth without scruples, which is not good for children. Then he said: "Niuniu, Niuniu, play on the street for a while, let me go in and whisper to my sister for a while, and you will come back later." โ€

Li Guolou secretly made up his mind that he must make it clear to Chen Xiangfang that there is no future between him and her, and there is no intersection between the two. Li Guolou stepped into the compound, snorted and asked A fragrance made people salivate, his mouth had not yet opened, and his stomach couldn't help but growl.

was originally serious, but when she saw Zheng Lingling's bouncing hands open to greet her, she collapsed suddenly, and her fluttering character in her bones was undoubtedly revealed. Li Guolou's depressed mood for a day was released to his heart's content, with a big smile and a big hug.

Li Guolou hugged Zheng Lingling and walked into the kitchen of Qian Shuiping's house, where Qian Shuiping was giving Chen Xiangfang a hand.

Qian Shuiping looked at Li Guolou strangely, she had already seen that Chen Xiangfang was not Li Guolou's sister. How could a woman from a big family babble and greet everyone in the yard. Looking at Li Guolou's attitude towards the people in the courtyard, you can know how the Li family deals with ordinary people.

Chen Xiangfang glanced at her wonderful eyes, and her careful thinking was undoubtedly revealed, she worked again, a pair of peach blossom eyes full of emotion, staring at Li Guolou, wearing a Han jacket and showing her bumps, more coquettish than the last two times Li Guolou saw it.

Li Guolou struggled inwardly, did he really want to marry a little widow and go home? What will the people of his hometown think of him? Can an older brother or sister accept such a brother and daughter-in-law? Every question made Li Guolou dare not think about it, so let's talk about it slowly. Maybe Chen Xiangfang will really be like a sister, and everyone talks happily.

Li Guolou was in a trance, and he overturned everything he wanted to say. There are eye-catching beauties coming to see him, how can he break people's hearts, and the little bell in his arms is too cute.

Qian Shuiping smiled: "Uncle Li, why don't you say hello to your sister?" โ€

Chen Xiangfang said: "Xiaolou, there's nothing for you here, go out quickly, I'll come out later, let's have dinner together." โ€

Originally, when Li Guolou went home, he also ate the food of Qian Shuiping's family, but now he is at peace with what he encounters, and he walks into his south room with Zheng Lingling in his arms.

Zheng Lingling ran around the three rooms of Li Guolou, and said in a milky voice: "Xiaolou, you are really a waste, why do you personally live in three houses?" โ€

Li Guolou said: "Lingling, this is a must, one room to sleep, one room to meet guests, and one to a dining room." Lingling, don't you like having more rooms? โ€

Zheng Lingling replied: "What's so good about this, there is only one family in the courtyard, and it is a waste for you to borrow a house to live, this is what my mother said." โ€

Li Guolou felt that this was a fuss, he was frugal in the housing of the rich, and some sons and brothers could squander hundreds or even thousands of taels in one night, and he lived in three rooms as a standard living treatment, without wasting a penny.

Diverting the topic and asking, "Lingling, why didn't your mother come here without saying hello?" โ€

Zheng Lingling lay on the table, playing with two gnats and baskets, and said casually: "I don't know, today my mother asked me if I wanted to see Xiaolou?" I said yes. And then we came together, aren't you welcome? โ€

Li Guolou smiled and said, "Lingling came to see me, of course I welcome it." But I didn't know you came, and I didn't buy you a gift. โ€

Zheng Lingling said coquettishly: "It's okay, you just give me two gnats, I'm very talkative." โ€

Li Guolou was a little ashamed, the gnats he bought were actually meant to be given to Niuniu and Niuniu, and when he heard that Lingling was coming, he brought them into the yard.

Li Guolou said: "Lingling, what do you like? Next time Uncle Xiaolou will sell it to you. โ€

Zheng Lingling asked, "Can I be greedy?" โ€

Li Guolou hurriedly said: "Three gifts at most." โ€

Zheng Lingling wrenched her fingers and said, "Hmmยทยทยทยทยทยท Lingling, now that she has grown up, has her own jewelry box and wants to have an Englishman's music box. Can you do this? (Li Guolou smiled and nodded.) ๏ผ‰

Zheng Lingling looked at Li Guolou's face and continued: "This second gift, since you have a jewelry box, it can't be empty inside, you can look at this small building." Gold, silver, you name it, but I like pearls the most. Oh, and I heard that there are sapphires in the UK. โ€

Li Guolou replied: "Lingling, Britain doesn't have sapphires, they are produced in its colonies. โ€

Zheng Lingling said coquettishly: "Oh! Thank you for teaching me, you will remember it once you talk about it. I'm a prodigy, Xiaolou, do you think it's okay for me to get educated early? โ€

Li Guolou said casually: "Okay, getting an education early is good for people, Lingling is so smart, she must be able to study." โ€

Zheng Lingling said in a milky voice: "Okay, I'll listen to Xiaolou, then let me also go to the Mary Church School to study." I'll follow your last name in the future. โ€

Li Guolou was still drinking tea, and the sip of tea in his mouth was sprayed on the ground without splashing on Zheng Lingling's face, and he was already worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. The heart in the chest was beating wildly. The little bell in front of him is just the one who takes the lead, and the real battle is still to come.

Zheng Lingling carried two gnats and baskets, jumped off the stool, and said coquettishly: "I'll tell my mom that you gave me three gifts, and my wish to Guanyin Niangniang has finally come true." There really is an Aladdin magic lamp in the world. โ€

Li Guolou opened his mouth and watched Zheng Lingling jump out, this little bell ghost was clever, he was played by a three-year-old child.

When Li Guolou was fighting in the Beihai Martial Arts Hall, it was very intense, and it was normal to sweat. Now he is alone in the living room, dusk is approaching, and the autumn breeze is cool, but his forehead is sweaty, he picks up a handkerchief and wipes the sweat vigorously, he is troubled, and he is caught by Lingling, how to explain this matter to Chen Xiangfang.

For dinner, there were six dishes and one soup, and Qian Shuiping and Chen Xiangfang served it together like a dining room. Qian Shuiping said loudly: "Uncle Li, you talk, I'm really embarrassed that your sister has been so busy that she hasn't even drunk a sip of tea." โ€

The three people at the table of the Eight Immortals were at the same table, and Zheng Lingling sat in the middle of the two, looking left and right to scan Li Guolou's every move. She believed that with her charm, no man could resist her, and Li Guolou did not stop her in a round of competition and was defeated. Later, if my mother can't handle Li Guolou, she will attack from both sides.

Li Guolou couldn't bear it, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and said with a smile: "Sister Chen, eat." I'm sorry to keep you busy until now. โ€

Chen Xiangfang said dissatisfiedly: "Xiaolou, didn't you say that there is French red wine in the collection?" Why didn't your sister take it out and invite her to drink it? โ€

Li Guolou sighed, he still has to drink red wine for dinner! Such a romantic, as if lovers are together, is that there is a drag oil bottle sitting in the middle to monitor them. However, he did not reject this feeling from the bottom of his heart, Li Guolou hated his boring and despicable and dirty thoughts, and he had to keep in mind that the person in front of him was just a friend like his sister.

Two large candles were lit on the table, two goblets were filled with Bordeaux red wine, and Zheng Lingling stared at two big eyes and playfully played with an empty goblet.

Zheng Lingling was dissatisfied: "I also want to drink red wine." โ€

Chen Xiangfang shouted: "Children are not allowed to drink. โ€

Li Guolou smiled and said, "Sister Chen, this wine is a little sweet, it's okay to give Lingling a little drink." โ€

Chen Xiangfang flew her eyes and said coquettishly: "Okay Lingling, you can only drink half a cup." Xiaolou, when there are no outsiders, don't see outside, call me Xiaofang. You know? โ€

Li Guolou stared at the exquisite dishes on the table, and thought of what a foreign philosopher said, "If you want to catch a man, just grab his stomach." It seems that Chen Xiangfang is deeply aware of this, since he had a wine banquet last time, he knows what he likes to eat, and for the sake of these delicacies, he must not turn his face with Chen Xiangfang.

Li Guolou raised his glass and said with a smile: "Come!" Let's toast, thank you Xiaofang, Lingling, come to see me today, let's feel free. โ€

Li Guolou means that touching the wine glass and taking a sip of red wine is done, or mainly to eat vegetables.

Still Chen Xiangfang said half-truthfully: "Xiaolou, you are free, I can be bored." Done! โ€

Li Guolou looked at the heroine in the middle of the women, and couldn't lose. Grit your teeth and finish a glass of red wine.

Chen Xiangfang stood up proudly, bent down again, revealing a white neck, and poured red wine for Li Guolou flawlessly.

Li Guolou said secretly: Calm, you must be calm! It's like drinking flower wine, and the things on the scene are not easy to come by.

Although he deceived himself and said that he should be calm, as soon as he ate it, Li Guolou couldn't stop. Chen Xiangfang is very delicious, not oily or greasy, and it is his favorite dish.

Chen Xiangfang smiled and said: "Xiaolou, you can taste this minced meat cake again, I have re-prepared the sauce, you dip it and taste it." โ€

Chen Xiangfang saw that Li Guolou was eating with relish, and praised the sauce. Feeling proud, Li Guolou already wanted to eat her when he looked at her. How can there be such a cheap thing, the line is released, how can you be in a hurry to pull the line. She wants to be Mrs. Jiang and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.

Chen Xiangfang asked, "How does Xiaolou feel?" In the future, the signboard of Baozhi House will not be smashed. โ€

Li Guolou suddenly said: "Ohยทยทยทยทยทยท Xiaofang, it turns out that you treat me as a glutton, and come to experiment with your cooking. โ€

Chen Xiangfang took a sip and said, "Look at your sample, why do you think I came, let's hear it?" โ€

Li Guolou said lightly: "I thought it was the little bell who missed me." โ€

Zheng Lingling said in a milky voice: "Who called Xiaolou white, I just like Xiaobai's face, I don't know how much better it looks than a fat cow." โ€

Chen Xiangfang said: "Lingling, don't talk nonsense." โ€
