Chapter 9: Listening is the best companionship
"Huh."
Xiao Hai sneered.
Leon didn't bother to bother with him.
Just close your eyes and recuperate.
"A stinky soldier, pretending to be a fart. Do you really think of yourself as a character? ”
Xiao Hai thought secretly, extremely disdainful in his heart.
Didn't say anything more to Leon.
After a while, Shen Junwu cooked the dishes.
Four dishes and one soup are all simple home-cooked dishes, but they are quite exquisitely made, with full color, flavor and flavor.
It surprised Leon a little.
Unexpectedly, she has always been like a little princess, and she has learned to cook by herself.
It seems that she has also experienced a lot in the past three years.
The pampered princess of the Shen family fell into the dust in an instant, and it was not easy to survive.
Set the table and start eating.
Li Ang, who has always been a picky eater and even anorexic, eats this meal very deliciously.
It's not that Shen Junwu's cooking skills are good - in fact, it's just an ordinary level.
But no matter what, for Leon, this is the food that his sister cooked for him, and it is the taste of home that has not been seen for a long time.
"Ang'er, come back this time, are you still leaving?"
Su Lan asked.
"Mother-in-law, don't leave for the time being."
Leon replied.
The Tiance Army defends the northern frontier of the empire and faces the million-dollar Far East Army of the Rakshasa Empire, which is the most dangerous of the nine frontiers of the entire empire, and there are wars at any time.
However, since half a year ago, after he single-handedly killed the 3,000 Praetorian Guards of the Rakshasa Empire in front of the battle, and scared the iron-blooded generalissimo, the northern frontier has temporarily calmed down.
It is precisely because of this that he has time to return to Shu County to save his relatives.
"That's good...... When you were a child, your stepmother kept it for you and cleaned it every day. ”
Su Lan smiled lightly.
Li Angdao:
"Stepmother, I bought a house and have a place to live. You can move in with me. ”
"Yo, uncle, it seems that you get a lot of retirement allowances, and you can afford to buy a house. I don't know how many rings it is, is it two sets of one or three sets of one? ”
Xiao Hai is neither yin nor yang.
"Neither."
Leon shook his head.
He bought the most expensive villa in Donghu, a wealthy area of Tianfu, consisting of three independent small buildings, 98 rooms, front and back gardens, and supporting swimming pools.
Xiao Hai obviously misunderstood, and he sneered:
"It turned out to be just a single apartment. Is that kind of place for my aunt to live? Don't worry about it, when I get engaged to Junwu next month, I will take my aunt to live in the big house I just bought. ”
"I'm used to living here, and I don't want to move anywhere."
Su Lan shook his head.
She went on to say:
"Ang'er, if you have money in your hands, don't use it indiscriminately, save it up and marry a good daughter-in-law."
She looked at Shen Junwu and sighed in her heart.
Originally-
She and Shen Cangsheng wanted to marry Shen Junwu to Li Ang.
It's just a matter of making people, and now this kind of thinking is obviously impossible to realize.
"Hmm."
Over the years, the Tiance Army has been fighting in the south and the north, and has been undefeated in thousands of battles, I don't know how many small royal families have been looted, and the wealth accumulated has long reached an extremely terrifying level.
He didn't even know how much money he had.
If you can't save it, it's meaningless.
However, his stepmother taught him, so he had to nod.
"What about the job, did you find it?"
Su Lan asked again.
This seems to be a common problem of all elders, and when they arrive at the dinner table, they can't help but be verbose.
The object of verbose on weekdays is Shen Junwu, but today she has been replaced by an adopted son who has not been seen for ten years.
Li Ang didn't feel annoyed, he patiently answered:
"Not ...... yet"
"Xiao Hai, your company is about to go public, do you want to arrange a job for Ang'er?"
Su Lan said suddenly.
Li Ang, Shen Junwu and Xiao Hai, who were eating, all stopped their chopsticks.
Li Ang was helpless.
Shen Junwu was stunned.
As for Xiao Hai -
He now wishes that Leon would die sooner, how could he be willing to arrange a job for him?
But at the moment, Shen Junwu has not passed the door, and he still can't offend his future mother-in-law.
After a deep groan, he said with a straight face:
"Auntie, yes, we are a formal company, and we usually only recruit employees who have graduated from a bachelor's degree. And the eldest brother, it seems...... I didn't even finish high school. ”
"Can't you be accommodating?"
"It's not that it doesn't work, I remember the guard was still hiring. This job is easy, and it doesn't require high education and high quality, but it is quite suitable for the eldest brother. ”
"This ...... Look at the work of the gate......"
Su Lan's face became a little ugly.
In her opinion, no matter how unbearable Ang'er is, she can't just watch the door.
"Mom, Xiao Hai also has his difficulties, so don't embarrass him."
Shen Junwu pondered for a moment and slowly spoke:
"Li Ang, what do you think, although it is just a job to watch the gate, he will buy five insurances and one housing fund, and his monthly salary is three or four thousand. Even if you have other ideas, it's a good transition, and besides, it's a lot of hard work on your mother's part. ”
Xiao Hai implicitly sarcastically followed:
"Uncle, I really don't mean to look down on you, you really don't have a diploma, it's difficult to arrange any good positions."
"Not necessarily."
Li Ang only ate half full, but because of Xiao Hai's pesky fly, it was difficult to eat this meal again.
He said slowly:
"Mother-in-law, sister Junwu, I am very happy to see you again today. Three years ago, my stepfather died, and I couldn't come back, which is the regret of my life. In the future, I will make up for everything I owe in the past ten years. ”
"Mother-in-law, take good care of your health, Ang'er will come to see you in a few days, if anything happens, remember to call me."
Then he got up and took his leave.
"Auntie, you have also seen it, my eldest brother obviously has an opinion about me. What did I do wrong, obviously I was kind enough to arrange a job for him! ”
Xiao Hai was not angry.
"Hey......"
Su Lan didn't know what to say.
knew that this kid Li Ang had such an arrogant temper, so she shouldn't have opened this mouth.
"Mom, I'll send him off."
Shen Junwu chased Li Ang at the door.
Leon looked back at her.
Brother and sister are opposite, but they are speechless.
The sky was dark, and the moonlight was cold, casting two shadows on the ground, one high and one low.
"After all these years, you still can't change your arrogant temper. Maybe Xiao Hai's unconscious words stung your self-esteem. But this job is so good that your mother asked for it with her face, why should you think about it, right? ”
In the end, it was Shen Junwu who broke the silence, and she sighed leisurely:
"Besides, you just came back from retirement, what good job can you find in a while?"
"Don't talk about this...... There are many things that I can't say in front of my stepmother. Now it's just our brothers and sisters, but I can tell you about it. ”
Li Ang looked at Shen Junwu:
"After March, on the day of my father's death, I want the patriarchs of the four major families to carry the coffin of my father-in-law for reburial, and I will also cut off the 3,000 heads of their four major families to 'build a Beijing view' to comfort my father's soul in the sky."
"You used to be the princess of the Shen family, and you are unspeakably expensive. The Shen family has been overturned, but you are still my Li Ang's sister, I not only want to promise you a lifetime of glory, but also protect you for a lifetime of Chang'an. Not to mention in this Shu County, even in this world, no one dares to bully you anymore. ”
His warm pupils, under the cold moonlight, contain a touch of the edge of the world, which is so impressive.
For a moment, Shen Junwu subconsciously wanted to believe Li Ang.
It seems that whatever comes out of his mouth will become reality.
But in the past three years, she has experienced the hardships of the world, and she is no longer the little girl who does not know the world.
Reason told her that what Leon said could never be realized.
The four major families are too strong, and Li Ang is just an ordinary soldier who has just returned from retirement, what can he do to compete with them?
She shook her head and sighed:
"Leon, I thought that after ten years, you would become more mature. I didn't expect your arrogant temper to change, and you learned to speak wildly. Do you think I don't want to take revenge on my father? But what do we take revenge? ”
"So...... Let go of your unrealistic ideas. ”
With that, she turned and went back to the house.
Under the cold moonlight, Li Ang was long and independent, looking silent and lonely.
Shang Hongye stepped out of the shadows.
"Miss Jun is a little excessive, no one in this world is qualified to treat you like this."
"As an elder brother, how can you be more serious with your sister."
Leon laughed to himself.
"I really envy her for having a brother like you."
Shang Hongye sighed leisurely:
"It's a pity that she doesn't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings."
"I'm still a little hungry, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Leon said.
Obviously, he didn't want to talk about Shen Junwu anymore.
"Wow, if you can make this picky eater evaluate it as delicious, it must be delicious in the world, right?"
Shang Hongye teased.
Leon nodded:
"Of course."
……
The place where Li Ang took the merchant Momiji was just an ordinary roadside stall, and the staple food was all kinds of pasta.
The boss was an old man with a smile on his face.
Li Ang ordered two bowls of beef noodles.
Because there were not many guests, it was served quickly.
Splashed with spicy seeds, garnished with coriander, and a few pieces of beef with attractive color, it is just an ordinary bowl of noodles, which is a bit exquisite.
"Because I'm picky eater...... I can't get used to eating the food cooked by my stepmother, and many times I would rather be hungry than full. My father-in-law often took me out secretly and came here to eat noodles. Strange to say, I can't eat noodles anywhere, but I like it here. ”
Li Ang grabbed his chopsticks and took a bite.
"It was really delicious. Taste it. ”
He gestured.
Shang Hongye also grabbed his chopsticks and tasted it, but found that it was no different from the noodles sold elsewhere.
Li Ang, who has always been a picky eater, eats with relish, almost feasting.
She finally understood.
Where is the taste of the gentleman's food.
It's clearly a memory.
At that time, my father-in-law didn't have much money. Just because he wants to secretly take my picky eater out to eat every night, he, an old smoking gun, quit smoking......"
"Because of some rifts with Junwu's sister, I haven't been home for ten years. I finally figured it out and decided to come back and honor my father-in-law...... He was given the best cigarettes and the best wine, but he ...... Why is it gone? ”
Leon's voice became a little hoarse.
Shang Hongye didn't say anything.
Listening is the best companionship.
