Chapter 139: The Li Family
After Grandma Zhou finished speaking, she took Zeng Yirou to Li's house.
Qian Yiming hesitated at the door for a long time, not knowing whether to follow.
Zeng Ruolan looked at Grandma Zhou and Zeng Yirou, who had already gone away, and then looked at Qian Yiming, who was standing still, and said, "Yiming, my aunt and Rourou have gone away, won't you follow?" How can you say that this family is also an acquaintance of your family, I haven't seen you for a long time, haven't you seen it? ”
Qian Yiming's body stiffened and explained: "I won't go, in fact, I am not familiar with Li Guoqing at all, and going to their house will cause unnecessary misunderstandings." ”
After speaking, Qian Yiming turned around and went back to the courtyard.
Zeng Ruolan shrugged her shoulders and didn't take it to heart, thinking that the boy was too delicate and thinking too much.
Qian Yiming, who sat back in the courtyard, stared at the book and let out a long sigh.
When did you become so hesitant yourself?
Or is it for the trivial matter of whether to follow and meet people?
Speaking of which, people who know me don't want to believe that this is true, right?
Because of the concern in my heart, is it so timid and forward-looking?
Is that what it feels like to like it?
This feeling came too suddenly and unexpectedly.
He didn't even know what to do.
In his life plan, falling in love is a waste of time, and it is better to get married and have children directly at the right time, which is simpler and more convenient.
However, who can control love?
The Li family and the Zeng family are indeed not far away, and it is a matter of three or five minutes to walk, separated by a row of houses, in another alley.
In Zeng Yirou's imagination, the poor clothes of the family have to be patched and stacked, but it is conceivable that the home must also be tattered, and it does not make people feel good.
However, the Li family made this sense of her change, and she had a good impression of the Li family at a glance.
Probably because the family is all women, the house is very clean.
The brick yard is incomplete because of age, and there is still some moss in the shady places, but the first impression is that it is neat, too neat.
Everything was neatly arranged and clean, and there was not even a single leaf in the yard, but it was clear that there was a towering toon tree planted in their yard, and the luxuriant branches and leaves brought a lot of shade to the yard, and the wind blew and rustled.
Their house is also an old row of five rooms, which is about the same as Zeng Yirou's house, but it is not as new as their house, which may be the reason for the age.
The windows of their house are still small lattices made of old wood, only the lower row is colored glass, and the top one is still pasted with paper, white paper, meticulous, not broken or yellowed.
There is a rope in the yard, and a few clothes are hung, as Grandma Zhou said, they are all patches on top of each other, but they are not ugly to look at, and there are a few tricks.
Grandma Zhou saw Zeng Yirou staring at the clothes, and guessed her thoughts at once, and when she entered the door, she explained in a low voice: "Your Aunt Li has learned to make clothes with me for two days, and I taught you these little patterns, how about it?" Not bad, right? ”
Zeng Yirou still wanted to ask carefully, but someone in the courtyard heard the movement and had already picked up a bamboo curtain and came out to see the situation.
"Who should I be? It turned out to be Xiaomei! Did the wind blow you over today? ”
What came out was a silver-haired old lady, with her hair coiled on the back of her head, with an old silver hairpin, her face was full of wrinkles, and she looked many years older than Grandma Zhou, but she was very energetic.
As soon as Grandma Zhou heard the name "Xiaomei", she didn't react at once that she was talking about her, and suddenly realized, and then said: "It's been a long time since anyone called my name, and I can't get used to hearing it for a while!" ”
Grandma Li smiled like a chrysanthemum and said, "What habit?" Old Zhou? I don't think I'm calling people old all of a sudden. It is not uncommon for us to have a few people who can call us by name, and if we don't listen to it much, we will even forget it. ”
"Not really! If you say that, you can't accept the old man! Grandma Zhou sighed.
While Grandma Li was talking, she had already taken out two or three small wooden stools from the building on the side of the courtyard, placed them in the shade under the tree, and led them to sit down.
Grandma Li was not polite, and as soon as she sat down, she asked straight to the point: "Xiaomei, let's say, look for me today, is there something wrong?" ”
Grandma Zhou deliberately grimaced and said, "I came to find my old sister, can't I just come here to hang out?!" ”
"Yes, yes, but you, your heart is too high, no one calls you, you won't take the initiative to climb the door! I don't know about you yet! As soon as Grandma Li came up, she revealed Grandma Zhou's old bottom.
Grandma Zhou said with annoyance: "Really, didn't you see my little apprentice on the side?" Don't say to save me some face, I'm just such a little problem, you have to say it and expose it! It's so interesting. ”
"It's all a family, I just don't say it, your little apprentice has been around for a long time, can I not know your stinky problem! Say it! I'll be preparing lunch for the kids later, but I don't have the time to fight with you. Grandma Li said crisply.
Grandma Zhou didn't continue to fight with her, and said their intentions: "Old sister, we came because we took a fancy to your craftsmanship and wanted you to make us a hot pot to taste!" ”
"Hot pot? How did you remember to eat hot pot? Now, if you want to eat this, buy some hot pot seasoning, you can cook it yourself, where do you want me to make it! Are you getting old, and your mouth is eating with you? Grandma Li unceremoniously teased her old sister.
Grandma Zhou glared at her, Chong Zeng beckoned softly, and said angrily: "Rourou, you come on, I am rushing to talk to this person, no matter how I listen to it, I want to quarrel with her!" ”
Grandma Li looked at Zeng Yirou, and immediately changed her loving appearance and said, "Are you Rourou?" I've heard your grandmother say it many times, and I've always praised you for being cute, filial and sensible, and today I finally met a real person!
Your grandmother is wrong, where are you cute, you are so beautiful, just like the people in the painting, white and tender, so cute!
What, does Rourou want to try authentic Sichuan-style hot pot?
Well, at noon, we won't be able to catch up.
This afternoon, I've made the soup and sent it to you, so you can taste my handiwork.
I'm sure you'll swallow your tongue in your stomach when you eat it! ”
Grandma Zhou immediately said angrily: "I said, why are you so eccentric? I've been talking to you for a long time, you say I'm greedy, and we haven't spoken yet, so you shout! ”
