Chapter 247: Who's Looking?
"What's going on in the morning?"
Li Yulian's sudden question made Ningning's hand that had just picked up the chopsticks pause, could it be that Li Yulian saw what happened in the morning?
"Mom......"
"Oh, that's it, old lady, I accidentally spilled Madame's porridge, I'm sorry, I've cleaned it."
Liang Li lowered his head, glanced at Tranquility and Blue Star, and replied cautiously.
"Really?"
Li Yulian frowned at her, while Lan Yunjiang looked at his son.
The atmosphere at the dinner table became strange, but Lan Xing put the porridge that Liang Li had just brought in front of Ning Jing regardless of it, and smiled dotingly,
"Drink it quickly, while it's hot."
"Okay."
Tranquility nodded in agreement.
Lan Xing raised his eyes and glanced at Liang Li, seeing that she hadn't meant to leave, he couldn't help frowning,
"It's okay, you go out first."
"Oh......"
Liang Li secretly looked at the handsome side face, was he talking for himself?
Although full of reluctance, Liang Li cautiously took the tray and retreated, turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
"Daughter-in-law ......"
Li Yulian opened his mouth while picking up vegetables.
"Huh? Mother? ”
"In the future, you should pay more attention to your body, take care of your body as soon as possible, and leave a child for Xiaoxing as soon as possible."
"......" Tranquility's hand holding the spoon paused, "Well, Mom, I know." ”
"How can you ......get up after sleeping early in the morning like you?"
Li Yulian continued to speak.
"I didn't let her get up, and besides, I got up so late!"
Lan Xing took a chopstick dish and put it in the tranquility bowl, and spoke slowly.
"You ......"
Li Yulian was angry, this bastard boy, did he want to go against her?
"Mom, I'm sorry......"
Tranquility took Lan Xing's hand, and wanted to explain to Li Yulian a little apologetically.
"Alright, alright, let's eat quickly."
Lan Yunjiang spoke impatiently, and Li Yulian didn't say anything more with a sigh of relief.
The breakfast time passed slowly, and Yuan Yuan and Fu Yi at the dinner table were extremely cautious, for fear of doing something wrong and upsetting the new grandparents.
No matter how careless and ignorant they are, it can still be seen that grandparents don't like their mother very much. Therefore, they have also changed their usual giggles and become extremely well-behaved and restrained.
After the meal, Tranquility asked the two children to go back to their respective rooms to study, and then went to the kitchen to arrange lunch at noon.
Today is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and tomorrow is the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the day when every family eats the New Year's dinner, she doesn't know how the Lanxing family used to live, or who and how many people ate together.
"Sister-in-law Wen, our family ...... How did you eat the New Year's dinner before? ”
Tranquility watched Sister-in-law Wen peel the shrimp in the pot with her hands and feet, and asked humbly.
"Oh, this? In the past, when you didn't come, Mr. always took Mrs. Xie to the old lady's house in City B for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and they were never there
Had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner here. ”
Sister-in-law Wen said without raising her head while busy in her hands.
"Huh? Mrs. Xie? Never? ”
Tranquility only remembered at this time that in the past, Xie Qin was the master here! She's just new......
"Then Mrs. Xie, she used to live here too?"
Tranquility couldn't help but be a little curious. In the past two days, she has looked around, and there is not a trace of Xie Qin here.
"That's not true," Sister-in-law Wen raised her hand and brushed her hair, revealing her slightly wrinkled sideburns, and her tone was leisurely,
"Mrs. Xie has never been here, this is where my husband bought it a few months ago, and they used to live in a house in the city, saying that it was closer to work."
"Huh? Just...... Just bought it? ”
"yes, don't you know? Mr. didn't even consult with you? Sister-in-law Wen asked with some curiosity.
Tranquility shook his head, he really didn't discuss it with himself. Now that I think about it, where would he have had nowhere to live before? I guess it's just to get closer to myself that I play so many tricks......
"Then do you know who the old lady used to eat with their Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the past?"
Tranquility asked again.
"Before? I don't know very well, there is the eldest lady's family, there is the old lady's sister Li Yuqian's family, and ...... There doesn't seem to be much else, and it seems that these are the only ones who eat in their own homes anyway. If there are other outsiders who participate, they will usually go to the hotel. ”
Sister-in-law Wen explained while thinking.
"Oh~~ That's the case, it's okay, you can get busy first."
Tranquility nodded and said, it seems that the relationship between the Lanxing family is not too complicated, she is afraid that if it is that kind of big family-style family, if she has to deal with these troublesome things, she will accidentally offend anyone, and she will have a headache when she thinks about it.
She walked out of the kitchen, wanting to go to Lan Xing to discuss it, or ask Lan Xing again, in case his parents have any special requests or something, it is better to prepare them early, right?
Seeing Liang Li walking down the stairs with a stack of clothes, Ning Jing asked,
"Xiao Li, have you seen Mr.?"
"I didn't see it, it should be in the study, right?"
After Liang Li finished speaking, he went straight to the stairs holding his clothes with one hand and holding the railing with the other, as light as a little swallow.
Tranquility looked around, but didn't see anyone, so she planned to go to the study to see if Lan Xing was there, and at the moment when she raised her feet, a figure rushed into the hall quickly, and said eagerly,
"Madam, there are people looking for the old lady outside."
Ning Ning turned her head and saw that it was the old Uncle Liu who was the gatekeeper, and he was also the person who specialized in mowing the lawn and taking care of the flowers and plants for their family.
"Old Uncle Liu? Who is looking for the old lady? ”
Tranquility was a little puzzled, she and Lan Xing had only moved in for a few days, and Li Yulian and his wife had only come to live yesterday, who had come here like this?
Or don't know that there is a tool to call a phone?
"That...... I don't know, ma'am, or go out and have a look. ”
Uncle Liu is about fifty years old, not tall, and his face is a healthy bronz, and he looks like the kind of person who has been exposed to the sun and wind all year round.
He scratched his head embarrassedly, the woman looked quite fierce, but he didn't know it and couldn't talk nonsense, so ......
Let the owner see it for himself.
Hearing what Uncle Liu said, Ning Ning paused, "Then I'll go and take a look." ”
She turned around and went down the stairs and came to the door of the hall, "Old Uncle Liu, where are the people?" ”
"Outside the courtyard gate! I don't know and I don't dare let her in. ”
Uncle Liu said.
Out of the hall, although it was not raining outside, a cold wind blew, and Tranquility couldn't help but shiver, and couldn't help but shrink a little.
She wrapped her coat tightly, and wanted to turn around and go upstairs to get a shawl, but after thinking about it, she didn't know who it was outside, and it would be bad if she made others wait for a long time.
So, Ning Ning forcibly followed behind Uncle Liu and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
Outside the big black iron door, stood a middle-aged woman dressed fashionably, wearing a hat and gloves, and delicate makeup, but with a haggard and panicked face.
The woman wore a scarlet scarf around her neck, and the wind blew up the corner of the scarf, covering the small half of her face.
"Open the door, open the door quickly!"
When the woman saw Ning Ning and Old Uncle Liu coming out together, she was stunned for a moment, and then she slammed the big iron door vigorously, her voice full of anxiety and hidden anger.
"Excuse me...... Who are you? ”
Tranquility stepped forward and asked politely.
The woman glanced at her, looking like she was seeing her feet from her head, and her face was full of disdain,
"Who are you? What about Li Yulian? Why don't you come out? ”
"What are you looking for my mother-in-law?"
Tranquility frowned, how could this woman talk like that? Although he is well dressed, he has no proper manners at all, which is really ...... Didn't want to open the door for her.
"Mother-in-law??"
The woman outside the door was stunned for a moment, and then laughed mockingly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and she has changed her daughter-in-law again?" ”
Hearing this, Ningning's brows furrowed tightly, although she understood that the woman was talking about Xie Qin, but she said such things in such a tone when they met for the first time...... I'm afraid that my heart is panicked!
Even the old Uncle Liu next to him frowned without exception, and he said, well, this woman is not good at stubble.
"Hurry up and open the door, it stands to reason that you should still call me Auntie, there is no hospitality at all!"
The woman waved her hand irritably, slapped the door twice more quickly, and said disapprovingly.
"Old Uncle Liu, open the door."
Ning Jing raised her chin and gestured to Uncle Liu, who was standing on the side.
The door was opened, and the woman outside the door quickly stepped past Tranquility in a flash, almost knocking Tranquility down, but fortunately, Uncle Liu quickly supported her to prevent her from falling on the flower bed on the side.
"Are you alright?"
"It's okay, thank you, Uncle Liu."
Tranquility stood firm and thanked her, and at this time the woman had already walked out a few steps away, and seeing that no one was following behind her, she stopped and turned around and shouted,
"Hey, is your new daughter-in-law just like that? Don't hurry up, I still have important things to find your parents-in-law! Hurry up and keep up! ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Ning Jing and Old Uncle Liu, and continued to stride forward.
She wanted to see why Li Yulian didn't answer her call!
Tranquility and Old Uncle Liu glanced at each other, this woman's posture is here to quarrel?
The two of them were excited, and they hurriedly followed, and when they came to visit for the New Year, they didn't bring anything to say, and they were still domineering and full of anger, how could there be no conflict?
Tranquility trotted and wondered in her heart, who is it?
In the morning, Sister-in-law Wen's words came to Ningning's mind, and she said that Li Yulian's sister Li Yuqian's family ......
Just now, the woman said that she should call her aunt......
Is that Li Yuqian?
What could she do when she came to her mother-in-law? The point is that her tone just now is too ...... You're welcome.
"Probably not a good thing, right?"
Serenity muttered.
"Sister! You come out! ”
Li Yuqian had already walked unceremoniously to the large living room, shouting and looking around.
As soon as Ning Jing ran to the door, he saw Li Yulian holding on to the stairs and walking down gracefully.
"What's yelling for? Something to sit down and say. ”
