Chapter 170: I Don't Lose Anyway (Ask for Subscription)
After a little half a day of getting along, Lin Lu and the future father-in-law and the future mother-in-law barely talked happily, compared to the politeness and restraint of the two sides when they first met, now they are obviously much more natural when they get along.
For Lin Lu and Li Min Chen Yingping, the relationship between each other is naturally not a simple 'guests come to be guests, the host entertains' such a model, because of Li Xingruo, maybe they will become a family in the future, but fortunately, after contact, both parties are very satisfied with each other, and they are more and more attached to each other.
The duck and goose have been marinated, the mother and daughter are busy in the kitchen, Lin Lu accompanied Uncle Li to drink tea and chat in the living room, Uncle Li is not so restrained at this time, he lifted his feet on the sofa as in the past, he held a few drawings in his hand, which are the design drawings for the redecoration of the home next year, knowing that Lin Lu is engaged in design, he took it over and discussed it with him.
Design is also divided into many types, such as interior design, graphic design, advertising design, etc., Uncle Li naturally does not understand these, I heard that Lin Lu is engaged in design, so I think he should also understand interior design, just like the family will think that those who learn programming will repair computers.
However, Uncle Li is not wrong about this, although Lin Lu did not specialize in interior design, but he also had some research, after all, the core point of his talent is in the aesthetics, for the aesthetics of the space, the aesthetics of decoration, and Uncle Li is also the first to talk about decoration.
In order to facilitate communication, Lin Lu didn't sit opposite the coffee table anymore, but simply sat next to his father-in-law, took a pencil to write and draw on the drawings, and chatted with Uncle Li about some of his ideas and suggestions.
He is quite keen on the use of space and the creation of aesthetics, every time he says something, he can accurately poke it in the heart of the old man, Uncle Li took out the drawings at the beginning, and he was just rushing to find some topics to talk casually, but he didn't think that the more he listened to it at this time, the more serious he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lin Lu made these suggestions really good.
"Uncle Li, you see, when I enter the house, the first thing I think of is the space, not the color, the color is light, it is not a problem, because anger comes from the people in the house, and the most important feeling of home is leisurely and unrestrained, I will simply draw a picture for you to see......"
"Kobayashi's idea is good......"
The current decoration of the home is more than ten or twenty years ago, and now Li Xingruo has also graduated, she has her own income to support herself, Uncle Li saved some money and thought about redecorating and renovating this self-built small building.
Lin Lu took a pencil to write and draw, made his suggestions and modifications on the original drawings, and his solid art skills soon put his ideas on paper, looking simple and plain, but there is no cold feeling, home design is also based on practicality, with simple lines and strong color contrast, the beauty of the space is fully presented, bringing a sense of leisure, clean, pleasant, elegant, wide, soft and leisurely.
Probably this is the most intuitive embodiment of Lin Lu's ability, on weekdays, his daughter praises him for his great painting and design, but Uncle Li was confused, until he saw it with his own eyes, and then he was impressed by the young man in front of him who was younger than his own daughter.
Uncle Li himself also runs a hardware store, and he is very keen about the cost of decoration materials, he calculated a little, according to Lin Lu's idea to get it, the cost can even be reduced by one or two percent, but the effect of decoration is a big improvement.
"Oops......"
Uncle Li slapped his thigh, looking a little annoyed.
"What's wrong, Uncle Li?"
Lin Lu was stunned, thinking that Uncle Li was not satisfied with such a design.
"Harm, I knew that Xiaolin had this ability, I asked you to help me get the design drawings at that time, these drawings also cost me a lot of money, fortunately, I came in time, and next year Uncle will follow your suggestions to get it, and there may be a lot of places to ask you at that time."
"What Uncle Li said, I am also a family's words, Uncle Li can see it, I am also very honored, don't worry, Uncle Li, you can ask me at any time if you have any questions, or let's add a WeChat, and I can also help Uncle Li take a look at it later."
"Good! Xiaolin is really good, I said no wonder you are still studying, you can earn so much part-time work, you kid is really capable. ”
The emotions between men are based on working together, with the topic of decoration, Lin Lu and Uncle Li chatted a lot, and successfully added the WeChat of the old man, Uncle Li also pulled him to visit the second and third floors, including every room and every corner of the house, and the two men chatted so hotly.
Before I knew it, it was approaching one o'clock, Lin Lu and Uncle Li were looking at the size of the house on the third floor, and Li Xingruo's shouting came from the corridor: "It's time to eat!" Where are you going?! ”
"Xiaolin, eat first, talk to you about this, Uncle is a mouthful, I'm a rough person, let me think about these details or something by myself, that's really a headache, let others do it, and it doesn't feel satisfactory, hey, you kid has a good eye."
"Uncle Li passed the award, I usually love to tinker, and in the future, I also think that I will get married, and then I will have to design and decorate the house by myself, so I will learn more things."
"Okay, think long-term, good thing!"
The two men went downstairs together, if it weren't for the difference in each other's identities, if they were about the same age, they would probably be hooked shoulders.
Although he is not very old, he is gifted and capable, has a plan for the future, and is modest and introverted.
Downstairs, Li Min took back the drawings that Lin Lu had helped him modify into the room, and Li Xingruo on the side leaned over to Lin Lu with a strange face and whispered, "What are you talking to my dad about?" So you can talk? Didn't you two sit together before you couldn't talk nonsense......"
"No, I just talked to Uncle Li about decoration or something."
"He's talking to you about this?"
"Yes, didn't Uncle Li talk to you, he said that he would find time to renovate his home after the New Year."
"I know, he's very tough, and he doesn't think my mother's opinion is good enough, can he listen to your opinion?"
"I'm a professional!"
Lin Lu straightened his waist proudly.
“…… Less stinky and beautiful you! Wash your hands and help my mom serve food! ”
Li Xingruo secretly pinched him, no matter what the two men talked about, but seeing them chatting so speculatively, she also felt a lot more relaxed and relieved, after all, who doesn't want the man she brought home can also be liked by her parents.
This is different from making friends, if you want to integrate into a family, you can't just rely on a slap in the face, there is a deep knowledge in it.
After successfully surviving the nervous and embarrassing period between each other when they first met, Lin Lu's charm gradually appeared, sounded the horn of attack, and frequently began to score goals in the hearts of the future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Li Xingruo wiped the table and glass turntable with a rag, Li Min opened a bottle of wine and a bottle of orange juice, Chen Yingping chopped the marinated duck and goose in the kitchen and neatly put them on the plate, and Lin Lu was busy helping to serve the dishes.
"It's so hearty, Auntie! It's all my favorite food! ”
"Yes, yesterday I asked Xiao Ruo, she said that you like to eat braised pig's trotters, Auntie will make you a pot to try, today this braised duck is also well marinated, Auntie cut a duck leg for the two of you."
"Okay, I haven't eaten duck legs for many years, and I usually let my sister eat them, but I didn't expect to have duck legs to eat here today!"
"What is this, Xiaolin often comes when he is free, and Auntie leaves you duck legs every time."
"Auntie's craftsmanship is really good, no wonder Xingruo's cooking is so delicious, so fragrant!"
"Then Xiaolin, you have to eat more, you don't have to eat so early tonight, you will be hungry if you don't eat enough."
"Of course! Auntie's cutting board and pot are put first, and I will wash them later, and eat first and eat first. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, Xiaolin, you eat first, you don't have to be polite when you're at home."
The lunch is very rich, there are braised duck, braised goose, white chopped chicken, and Liangxi special white fish, white shrimp, American crab, fat turtle as cooking raw materials Taihu Lake boat dishes, as well as shrimp pot, braised pig's trotters, crispy whitebait, and a fried green vegetable.
The four of them ate these eight dishes and one soup, and they would definitely not be able to finish eating, but the visual impact was still quite large, and Lin Lu also felt the strong heart of Li Xingruo's family.
He never takes pictures when he usually eats out, and he can't help but take out his mobile phone to take a picture of his hearty meal, after all, this is the first time he came to Sister Liang Xixingruo's house to eat a meal, which is very memorable.
For Chen Yingping, who cooks, Lin Lu likes these dishes and takes out his mobile phone to take pictures, which is a great recognition.
The seat is also the position where Li Xingruo's family often sits on weekdays, Uncle Li sits in the main seat, Lin Lu sits next to Li Xingruo, although in the place where the elders can't see, the two will be secretly intimate, but they are still very reserved at the dinner table, and they don't show affection for each other's dishes, but Uncle Li and Aunt Chen occasionally take a common spoon to pick up vegetables for Lin Lu, and every now and then, Lin Lu hurriedly holds the bowl with both hands to take over the dishes.
Lin Lu was glad that he came early today, if he came over with a meal, and he would have to sit at the table together just after they met, he would definitely not have eaten a solid meal.
After this little half a day of getting along, they got acquainted with each other a lot, and this meal was also safe and natural, everyone talked and laughed around the dinner table, chatted about trivial things such as work and life on weekdays, but no one brought up topics such as urging marriage and finding a partner.
Lin Lu is not stupid, the elders don't mention it, then he won't be stupid to say these things, after all, it's the first time they meet, so as not to push the atmosphere to the stage of talking about marriage, then it's embarrassing all of a sudden, since it's the understanding stage, then learn more, get along more, when it is time to mention, the elders will naturally say.
"Xiaolin, you still have to drive, your uncle won't pour you wine, you can use this orange juice instead of wine, and accompany your uncle to drink two glasses."
"Yes, yes!"
Lin Lu hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, raised the orange juice in his hand, and toasted Uncle Li.
Although Uncle Li and Aunt Chen have no culture, they are very comfortable in the world, knowing that Lin Lu does not drink, and he will not use alcohol to make things difficult for him, there is a lot of care between words, and it is probably such a tolerant and harmonious family environment that will give birth to Sister Xingruo's gentle and kind character.
Gentle and kind, simple and spiritual, not vain and not complaining, these sound like very simple things, in fact, every adjective is rarer than the adjectives beautiful, highly educated, and rich, after all, this is the seed bred by the soil of the original family, and these are the unique shining points of Li Xingruo's body, including her family, shining in Lin Lu's eyes.
At the end of this hearty and homely lunch, the relationship between them has become much closer.
After the meal, Lin Lu took the initiative to help wipe the table and clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and before he could wash the dishes, Aunt Chen hurriedly smiled and said no, Lin Lu couldn't be polite to her, so she had to go over to the coffee table to drink tea with Uncle Li.
Uncle Li changed to make new tea, and the two continued to chat about the decoration.
By the time Chen Yingping and Li Xingruo came out after washing the dishes, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Xiaolin, her uncles will also go back to the village for the festival tonight, and you will come together to meet her grandparents, don't go back to Sunan at night, stay here for two days with your aunt, and wait for the day after tomorrow when you two go back together."
"I'm just afraid of disturbing Uncle Li and Auntie......"
"Hey, where is it, usually my father and I are at home, except for opening a store, you and Xiaoruo come back together to be lively, Auntie can't wait for you to come more, Xiaoruo, you take Xiaolin upstairs to rest and rest, pack your luggage, and I will go back to the village with your father to help later, and you two will go back together at about a time."
"Oooh! Got it, by the way, Mom, I've put all the gifts that Lin Lu brought in your room, and you can clean up after a while! ”
"Xiaolin, next time you come over, you are not allowed to bring so many things! You're welcome! ”
"Yes, then Uncle and Aunt Li, I'll go upstairs and rest for a while."
"Okay."
Li Xingruo walked in front, Lin Lu followed her, and the two went upstairs together.
The balcony on the second floor and the third floor is floating out, the overall area is much larger than the first floor, the living room is extraordinarily spacious, the second floor usually lives on Li Xingruo, there are not too many miscellaneous things, there are three rooms in total, after eliminating the kitchen, the space is even larger.
Lin Lu walked into the second floor, and immediately felt a comfortable and free mood, not only because of the large space here, but also because of the fact that after leaving the sight of Uncle Li and Aunt Chen, the pressure on his body dissipated and emptied, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and lay down on the soft sofa, not wanting to move for a long time.
"Sister Xingruo, why is your sofa so soft and so comfortable to lie down?"
Lin Lu couldn't help but sigh, probably because the solid wood sofa on the first floor had been sitting for a long time, and his muscles and spirits were tense, and lying on the soft sofa at this time made him feel as comfortable as lying on a cloud.
"Then you'll sleep on the couch tonight!"
"Okay, I don't mind."
"Get up and pack up, big lazy ——!"
Not to mention that Lin Lu feels a lot more comfortable, Li Xingruo also feels much more comfortable, after all, the second floor is her territory, and when she comes to her territory with her beloved man, it's not up to her to decide?
"I can't move, let me lie down again......"
"My dad is here......!"
Li Xingruo, who was at the door of the living room, glanced down the corridor and whispered to Lin Lu.
Lin Lu's movements were very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, he changed from Ge You's lying posture to sitting upright, letting the sofa be soft, and his waist was straight.
Li Xingruo was angry and funny, thinking that her sister was really more and more a failure, Lin Lu was not afraid of her at all now, and her deterrent power was actually not as good as her father?!
As she closed the door of the living room, Lin Lu realized that where Uncle Li was coming up, it was obvious that she was playing tricks on him!
"Whew-Sister Xingruo, don't make trouble!"
Lin Lu snorted and lay back on the sofa.
"Hurry up...... Get up ......"
"I'm sorry, I'm so tired, I haven't slept until last night......"
"Nonsense, you obviously look very energetic!"
Li Xingruo stretched out his tender little hand to grab his big hand, trying hard to pull him up from the sofa, the two were very reserved in front of their parents, and they didn't even dare to hold their little hands.
Now that Uncle Li and Aunt Chen are not there, Lin Lu's courage has also increased, and with a strong backhand, Li Xingruo exclaimed quietly, and then he was pulled into his arms, and then he rolled over, and lay on the sofa with her in his arms.
"You're crazy! It's in my house! ”
"Hey, wasn't Sister Xingruo very bold when she kissed me before, but now I know it's at your house?"
She writhed like a mermaid in his arms, Lin Lu not only did not let go, but also hugged her tighter and tighter, his head like a little mole, sniffing the fragrance around her neck, and arching vigorously between her necks.
Li Xingruo was very tickled by his movements, ashamed and annoyed, surprised and laughed, but he didn't dare to make too much noise, his little heart seemed to be carrying a deer, and he was about to jump out of his throat, it is estimated that the parents downstairs would never have imagined that his daughter would be bullied by him upstairs.
"Y-How dare you? I'm going to shout! ”
"Don't shout, Sister Xingruo doesn't want to be seen by Uncle Li and Auntie."
Before she could shout, Lin Lu lowered his head and gagged her.
She lay flat on the sofa like this, he supported the sofa with one hand, grabbed her two little hands with the other, and bullied her wordlessly, so as to relieve the nervousness and anxiety that had been going on for most of the day.
Isn't this painstaking effort just for the sake of Ruobao in his arms, how can he ask for a little reward.
After replenishing his sister's energy, Lin Lu was alive again, that is, Li Xingruo became the same person just now, lying on the sofa softly, covering his red pretty face with both hands, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time.
Compared with the shamelessness with him in Sunan on weekdays, when doing these things at home, it is obviously more heart-pounding.
It is estimated that when she came back on May Day, she couldn't have imagined that she would bring him with her next Mid-Autumn Festival back, and she was not ashamed to be at home with him like this, but it was like a dream to think about it.
Li Xingruo blushed and pulled the hem of his clothes, Lin Lu looked away with a weak heart, but he was still attacked by a jio and a pillow.
All in all, no loss.
