Chapter Seventy-Four: No Parents
When she opened the door, she smelled the fragrance of vegetables, Li Shulan was putting a plate of vegetables on the table, and when she saw the two of them coming back, she turned her head and whispered to Lin Xuemin: "These two people are quite good at picking the time, and they came back with a smell as soon as the meal was ready." ”
After that, he greeted the two of them again: "Back?" Wash your hands and just eat it. ”
"Lolo, you take this... Jiang Li, yes, you take someone to the bathroom to wash your hands. ”
"Hmm."
Lin Luo answered, found a place to leash the dog, led the emperor to the bathroom to wash his hands, and helped serve the meal as usual after he came out.
Li Shulan took off her apron and beckoned Jiang Li to sit down, "Jiang Li, sit down, you're welcome, just like your own home." ”
"Here, this bowl is yours, and this is chopsticks." Lin Luo brought the prepared rice to the table, handed Jiang Li a bowl, and handed her the chopsticks by the way.
The three of them sat down around the dining table, Li Shulan first went to pour some dog food and milk for the dog, and then pulled out a chair and sat down, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this is the first time you have come to the door, and Auntie doesn't know what you like to eat, so she made more." “
"Excuse me."
"Don't bother, you can eat whatever you want, don't go outside."
"Hmm..."
Jiang Li pursed his lips in response, holding the chopsticks and not moving for a long time, looking a little hesitant.
It's been more than a month since she came to modern times, and she hasn't watched less of those short videos, modern people only have three or four dishes a meal, like they eat on weekdays, and both dishes are sumptuous.
And now, there are a lot of dishes on the table, there are more than a dozen plates, so many dishes may be due to the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it must also be inseparable from her visit this time.
Jiang Li had to admit that Xiao Linzi's parents took her more seriously than Xiao Linzi.
"Come on, this is sweet and sour pork ribs, my mother's pork ribs are fragrant, you can taste them."
Lin Luo put a piece of pork ribs into her bowl, then picked up the bowl of grilled rice, just took two bites, and looked up again, "Mom, your rice is a little soft today." ”
Lin Xuemin suddenly interjected, "Don't like soft rice? ”
"The rice is hard and delicious, chewy, and when it is soft, it is trampled on by water, and it is sticky."
After Lin Luo finished speaking, he frowned, how did this sound wrong, and deliberately asked such a sentence, especially the tone, which was indescribably awkward.
It's as if I love soft rice.
"When I steamed the rice, I put too much water in it, and I accidentally steamed it softly, this... Jiang Li, do you think it's soft, if you can't get used to it, Auntie will steam it again. ”
"No, I think it's just right."
"That's fine, eat more, just like your own home. Luo Luo, don't be stunned, pick up vegetables for people, there are chopsticks, you use chopsticks, don't use your own. ”
"Oh."
Lin Luo stood up and picked up the chopsticks in the middle of the table, there were a lot of dishes on the table, he simply picked up an empty plate containing bones at hand, sandwiched a little of each dish and put it on the plate, and then put the plate in front of Jiang Li, and then sat down again.
A set of actions flowed smoothly, Lin Xuemin's brows furrowed, and his head was full of Lin Luo's appearance of picking vegetables just now.
The posture of hunched waist and abdomen, the hand holding the chopsticks and the straight arm are at a perfect right angle, which is actually a little pleasing to the eye.
Where did this kid learn this?
He inexplicably remembered those costume TV series, in which the eunuchs served the emperor with no such professionalism.
Lin Luo picked up the bowl and was about to continue cooking, when he saw Lin Xuemin staring at him, "Dad, what do you think I'm doing?" ”
"Nothing."
Lin Xuemin looked away and looked at Jiang Li with the rest of his eyes.
Holding the chopsticks and holding the dishes on the small plate, and at the same time using the bowl, looking unhurried, with his arms hanging in the air, never touching the table.
Then when chewing, the head is slightly lowered, the mouth is not visible, and the amplitude of the cheek agitation is small, if not at all.
This demeanor, this demeanor..... didn't run away, proper ladies show this.
Lin Xuemin, who has lived for more than 40 years, suddenly has some doubts about life, and feels that the bridges in those bloody TV series... It may be staged in your own home.
The son talked to the object, and found a lady who was beautiful, and it was likely to be the kind with a deep background.
Let's let the two break up quickly, such a girl is not something that her own family can climb.
Not to mention that the two are still living together, a lonely man and a widow, one day there will be some more trouble, and then it will be a big trouble for people to find it.
Li Shulan is also secretly observing at this time, eating a meal is so pleasing to the eye, looking at it with such a temperament, it seems that Lao Lin really said, maybe it is really the daughter of which family.
However, she is not as complicated as Lin Xuemin thought, but she still thinks that her son has the ability to find such a girl as a girlfriend.
Worthy of my son.
The meal was uneventful, and there was not much conversation during the banquet, Rao is Lin Luo didn't like to eat soft rice, but he also ate two large bowls, and was about to help clean up the dishes.
Lin Xuemin got up and greeted, "Come, come with me." ”
"Do what?"
"You'll find out when you come."
“.....”
Lin Luo was a little confused, but he still followed silently, and then entered the study.
"No, you just rest, Auntie just clean up, you are a guest, how can I let you help."
Declined Jiang Li's help, Li Shulan brought the dishes into the kitchen, didn't rush to clean them, came out and poured a glass of water, "Come, Jiang Li, drink some water." ”
"Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome." Li Shulan waved her hand, sat down next to her, looked at Jiang Li a few times, and praised with a smile: "Auntie looks at you a few years younger than Luo Luo, but at first glance, you are a steady person, much stronger than that kid, you two are talking together..... He didn't you off, did he? ”
“... OK. ”
"By the way, Auntie hasn't asked yet, where is your home? I heard Luo Luo tell me, you came out of the mountains? ””
"Yes."
"Where's the mountain?"
"Southern."
"Can't you? Auntie doesn't look like it, I thought it was his nonsense, and that kid told me that your family conditions are not good, and then you dropped out of school to work or something. ”
"Hmm." Jiang Li held the water cup and nodded: "He's right." ”
“......”
Li Shulan choked for a moment, and then asked, "Then how did you two meet?" ”
Jiang Li followed the previous words and said: "My family conditions are not good, I dropped out of school to work, Xiaolin... The rent in Lo was cheap, so I rented it in and shared it with him, so we got to know him. ”
Li Shulan really couldn't believe these words, but the smile on her face deepened.
Listen, this is called Xiao Lin Luo, is this the kind of nickname between young people?
It doesn't matter if it's a daughter or not, this has a nickname and a play.
"What do you do in your family, and what do your parents do?"
Faced with such a question, Jiang Li could only shake his head.
"No job?"
“... There are no parents. ”
