Twenty-third Xu Lao
After the three of them finished shopping, Li Na said goodbye to Li Qingmei at the department store.
Cui Ting rode Li Na's new bicycle, and Li Na rode her old one back to her home!
"Wow, Li Na, your home is good, I didn't expect you to live here, you have a proper little courtyard!" Cui Ting exclaimed, she knew that the people who lived in this area had identities.
"Cui Ting, please come in, Li Na put the bicycle in the Westinghouse." Who told her to fill the utility room with wood!
Cui Ting went to the living room and couldn't help but exclaim, "Li Na, your sofa is too good, this side is leather, my dad said, like this, there must be overseas Chinese remittance coupons." You can only buy it at overseas Chinese stores! ”
Li Na: ...... "Come, come, come and sit down." Li Na looked at the clock in the living room, and it was already half past eleven. Cui Ting, you will taste my craftsmanship in a while, and you are not allowed to shirk, but you don't take me as a friend. ”
Cui Ting saw that Li Na's conditions were also good, so she happily agreed. "Well, okay then, I'll help you out."
There is no need to be polite to friends, Li Na readily agreed.
When she arrived at the kitchen, Li Na thought about it, it was a little late to stuffy rice, and Cui Ting helped to light the fire, so she cooked a pound of noodles. Stir-fry a cabbage, chop the bacon, and fry it with diced potatoes as a marinade. Slapped another cucumber.
Because Li Na put enough oil, Cui Ting was very happy to eat. "Li Na, your cooking is so delicious. By the way, why didn't you see your family and didn't come back for lunch? ”
Li Na smiled and said, "I live by myself." ”
"I'm sorry, I don't know!" Cui Ting said embarrassedly.
"It's fine". Li Na smiled and said that the two of them were talking very speculatively. Like friends for many years.
In the blink of an eye, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and Li Na rode a new bicycle to send Cui Ting home. And make an appointment, and often go shopping together in the future.
When Li Na went home, she met her neighbor Xu Lao, "Xu Lao is good." You've got something good! ”
Xu Lao's eyes lit up when he saw Li Na's new bicycle, "Xiao Li, I have bought a new foreign car." "His old buddy's bicycle is broken and can't be ridden, and it's not convenient to buy and replace old things. This girl's old one is very good, it's still 'permanent', and I haven't ridden it much, this one is still loaded, and this girl doesn't ride very well, but it's very good for him to ride. In the past, Old Man Zhang had a strange temper, he didn't ride or transfer, even if he threw it into the utility room and fell into the dust, it was distressing to think about it.
The old man also changed the subject, "Yes, Mr. Xu, I just bought it." Li Na said.
She turned around and wanted to enter the door, but was stopped by Xu Lao again.
"Xiao Li, don't ride your old car, if you don't ride it, change it to my old friend, his car doesn't ring except for the bell, everything rings, and it's always broken." (In this era, if you want to buy other people's things, you can't say you buy them, you have to say change them)
Li Na thought that she was useless. With a turn of his mind, he blessed his soul, "Old Xu, Cheng, don't say that you will change things, this will not stumble me, give it to you when you are old, and I will honor your old man." ”
Xu Lao was taken aback, "This, this, this is unacceptable, you kid is too unsuccessful, this foreign car is not cheap, even the old one is worth a lot of money, that is not good." No, no. "My head shook like a rattle. Say nothing and do nothing.
Li Na snickered in her heart, "Old Xu, why are you like this, I sincerely respect you, if you really think it's not good, then let's do it, you can introduce me to someone who understands old wood, I have a few tables and chairs that are falling apart, see if you can repair them for me." Of course, if you find it difficult, forget it. Said with a look of concern for Xu Lao.
When Xu Lao heard this, he instantly understood in seconds, this little thing! "Xiao Li, you really asked the right person, my old guy understands this, it's no problem to repair it, and you don't need to find someone else, if you are free in the past two days, let him come over."
"Cheng, Mr. Xu, thank you! I'll push the car to you first, let your friend ride, he doesn't have a car to ride, it's so convenient, just plug it in for me, don't come over, if I'm not at home during the day, I just went to my grandmother Tian, don't go out. Li Na said happily.
"Done, done." Xu Laole pushed the bicycle away.
After Li Na went home, she went to the utility room and put away the wood she had collected in Tong County last time. She also looked at these neighbors, which ones had a few handfuls of furniture that looked old, and she didn't bother to look at it, saying that she wasn't sure it was Huanghuali. also has the idea of letting the old man rise his eyes. It's been a neighbor for so long, and the old man Xu Lao's character Li Na still thinks it's good.
On this day, Li Na finished breakfast and was 'writing' a novel when she heard a knock on the door and glanced at the clock, which was only eight o'clock. Hurriedly went out, "Who?" ”
Elder Xu's voice came from outside the door, "It's me, Xiao Li, open the door quickly." ”
Li Na hurriedly opened the door, and there was an old man of medium height, wearing a dirty blue overalls, with most of his hair gray, and his face was full of ditches, and he was holding his old 'permanent bicycle', which was tied to the carpenter's work. "This is Lao He," Xu Lao said,
"Hello Grandpa He. Please come in" Li Na welcomed the two old men in and brought one of them a cup of tea. "Come on, we're not here for tea, let me see what kind of tables and chairs!" Xu Lao couldn't wait to urge.
Li Na hurriedly took the two old men out and said embarrassedly, "Old Xu, Grandpa He, I'll put the utility room." ”
The two old men saw that their eyes lit up, "Come, come, let's move to the courtyard quickly, this is a good thing!" ”
Li Na helped carry the pile of things to the yard. "Yes, Hainan Huanghuali, late Qing Dynasty, is not very well maintained, more like mahogany. Girl, take good care of it in the future! ”
Li Na was overjoyed when she heard this. She suppressed her joy and asked, "Grandpa He, can this still be done?" ”
"Don't worry, girl, you can pack it up, we don't ask where this thing comes from, you just keep it, you can pass it on in the future, don't look at it now, it will be very valuable in the future." Grandpa He said with a smile.
The two old men quickly got to work, although some of these woods are not a set, but the two of them are looking for similar assembly, and it feels very good to look at. Li Na couldn't help herself.
Just go to the kitchen. I'm going to cook a good meal for the two old men.
First, take out the rice and steam the rice in a large pot, and take out the vacuum-packed chickens and ducks in the space and steam them as well. I didn't have a meat ticket, so I fried a shredded potato with bacon, soaked the fungus, made a mushu meat, thought about taking out the ham sausage and chopping it, adding a little radish to chop it, and fried a plate of meatballs. After it was done, it was brought to the coffee table in the living room, and two bottles of the most expensive sorghum wine I bought were taken out.
At this time, I heard Xu Lao's voice, "Girl, come and see, it's done!" ”
Li Na hurriedly went over, "Oh my God, if it weren't said that it was dismantled, no one would believe that these were put together." "A table of eight immortals, four chairs are very good.
