Chapter 205
The next morning, Li Ye was still sleeping! When he heard someone knocking on the door "bang, bang, bang" outside.
Then Li Ye heard Wang Wang Qiangdong asking outside in the courtyard: "Who is it? Who are you looking for?"
Then Wen Watching Wen Leyu's voice came from outside the door: "I'm looking for Li Ye."
Wang Wang Qiangdong asked seriously: "I'm asking who you are?"
Wen Watching Wen Leyu outside the door didn't answer, but Li Ye had already put on slippers and wrapped himself in a coat and came out.
"It's my classmate, looking for me."
"Oh, oh, I'll help you open the door."
"No need, I'll open it. You go back to the room and rest!"
"Oh, oh!"
Wang Wang Qiangdong hurriedly slipped back to the side room.
He and Wang Wang Jianqiang lived in the side room of the Sihe Academy yesterday. He got up early this morning and swept all the snow in the courtyard clean.
But he didn't expect to block Wen Watching Wen Leyu outside. Seeing Li Ye barefoot in slippers and rushing out in a coat, how could he not know what he had done?
Li Ye hurriedly opened the gate and saw Wen Watching Wen Leyu wearing a big cotton-padded jacket standing outside, with two lines of white frost hanging on her pretty eyebrows, and her little nose frozen red.
And Wen Watching Wen Leyu, seeing Li Ye in just his autumn clothes and pants, wrapped in a coat, also rolled her eyes repeatedly.
The two stared at each other, and a few seconds later, they spoke almost at the same time.
"Aren't you cold!"
"Aren't you cold!"
"..."
"Hurry up and come inside!"
"Hurry up and come inside!"
"..."
"Hahahahaha~"
"Hahahahaha~"
Two consecutive "great minds think alike" conversations made the two young people unable to stop laughing heartily.
"Go, go, go, hurry inside. Why did you come over alone in this weather?"
Li Ye took Wen Watching Wen Leyu's hand and walked inside.
"You told me you'd arrive yesterday. With such heavy snow, I didn't know what the situation was. This morning I called Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, and he said you arrived at Zaojunmiao, so I came!"
Wen Watching Wen Leyu was still a bit reserved and didn't have the nerve to say "I missed you" directly, but the look she gave Li Ye made Li Ye clearly feel the same meaning.
Li Ye subconsciously rubbed her head. She didn't dodge, just shook her head like a big orange cat.
"In this weather, you should have let Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng call me, and I would have gone straight to your house. What if you slipped on the way?"
"No way!" Wen Watching Wen Leyu said proudly: "In the days after you left, I practiced bayonet fighting every day, and my lower body is much more solid than before."
Li Ye took her into the room and advised: "Bayonet fighting is a means of physical fitness, but don't practice too fiercely, otherwise you'll make your legs thick."
"How could they get thick? I feel like they've even gotten thinner!"
Wen Watching Wen Leyu answered subconsciously, and then realized something. She tilted her little head and aimed at Li Ye, wanting to see if he had any evil thoughts.
Unfortunately, Li Ye's cultivation was already very high; how could he easily let his girlfriend see through his bottom line?
He moved a small stool, placed it next to the radiator, pulled Wen Watching Wen Leyu over, and let her sit down.
"You warm your hands first, I'll change my clothes!"
"Mm."
Wen Watching Wen Leyu sat obediently in front of the radiator, but when she heard the sound of Li Ye putting on clothes, she sneakily turned her head and stretched her neck to look over.
When she saw Li Ye wearing a sweater that looked very awkward, she "whooshed" and turned her head back, letting out a low "hehe" twice.
That was the sweater she knitted for Li Ye, with twisted stitches and patterns that never repeated; no matter how you looked at it, it looked like an abstract work of art.
Wen Watching Wen Leyu changed it twice and finally barely finished it before the New Year, but she couldn't take it out, so she mixed it in a pile of New Year's goods and gave it to Li Ye before the New Year.
She didn't expect Li Ye to be wearing it now... and it actually looked quite good.
Li Ye put on his clothes and asked: "Xiao Yu, have you eaten?"
Wen Watching Wen Leyu answered: "I ate a small bowl of noodles, my mom made it."
Li Ye put on his clothes and asked again: "I have mutton soup stewed yesterday here, do you want to accompany me for a bowl?"
Wen Watching Wen Leyu stuck out her little tongue and nodded: "Okay, I'll accompany you for a bowl."
Good fellow, Wen Watching Wen Leyu really enjoyed this bowl.
In the middle of winter, hot mutton soup with a little vinegar is both appetizing and warming. Anyway, the little girl never hides her appetite in front of Li Ye, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all eating bowl after bowl.
Li Ye said with satisfaction: "It seems you weren't lying, you really practiced bayonet fighting hard these days."
Only with exercise can you have an appetite. If you sit still all day, your appetite won't increase.
Wen Watching Wen Leyu picked the fatty parts into Li Ye's bowl while saying: "My mom laughed at me a few days ago, saying it's fortunate that conditions are good now, otherwise she wouldn't be able to afford to raise me!"
Li Ye answered immediately: "That doesn't matter, I'll raise you, and I guarantee to raise you white and chubby."
"..."
Wen Watching Wen Leyu narrowed her eyes and looked at Li Ye. A few seconds later, she spat out a word coquettishly.
"Get lost~"
How could Li Ye get lost? He wasn't a green hand with thin skin and tender face.
He rested his chin on one hand and stared fixedly at Wen Watching Wen Leyu.
Wen Watching Wen Leyu's complexion was getting better and better. Before, it was that kind of cold white skin, but now it was clearly white with a hint of red, which looked very pleasing.
The biggest difference between girls in this era and girls in later generations is that their cosmetic aura is much weaker, but their physical fitness is healthy and their blood is sufficient, and the half-moons on their fingers are big and white.
Because they don't have so much mental consumption, they don't stay up late, don't chase dramas, don't play games, and don't worry about whether to drink milk tea or Anmuxi today.
Of course, this is under the condition of ensuring nutrition. After a year and a half of conditioning, Wen Watching Wen Leyu can be considered to have completely made up for it.
Facing Li Ye's wanton gaze, Wen Watching Wen Leyu drank the last sip of mutton soup generously and then pushed the bowl away.
"You wash the dishes today~"
"Okay, give me ten minutes, and then I'll go to your house."
Wen Watching Wen Leyu blinked: "What are you going to my house for?"
Li Ye laughed and said: "I took so many New Year's goods before the New Year, I have to return the gift, right?"
Wen Watching Wen Leyu curled her lips and said: "You're not an outsider, you're really being polite."
Listen to what the sister said, is it pleasant? Is it satisfying?
Then Li Ye dragged out two big boxes. Wen Watching Wen Leyu opened them excitedly and saw two boxes full of clothes and shoes presented before her eyes.
Wen Watching Wen Leyu looked at the things in the box in astonishment, and after a long time, she blurted out: "Did you hide money last time?"
Going to Hong Kong in '83, Renminbi wasn't very useful. Last time Li Ye showed five thousand US dollars, and later there were five thousand left.
And Wen Watching Wen Leyu, who seemed cute and gentle, had an extremely keen mind and subconsciously hit the truth.
"No, how could I hide money?" Li Ye said without blushing or skipping a beat: "I took that roll of English manuscript to Hong Kong, they decided to adopt it, and then they gave a part of the manuscript fee first..."
"I thought that if I brought it back, I might have to hand it over, so I just spent it! This big box is yours, and that big box is for your mom, your dad, and your brother. This is actually bought with your money."
Wen Watching Wen Leyu picked up a coat to try it on, and then changed into a windbreaker to show off. Her pretty eyebrows curved into crescents with joy, and unstoppable smiles began to grow on her face, blooming like spring jasmine in spring.
Does she care about this box of things?
No, what she cares about is Li Ye's "partiality."
Two big boxes of gifts, she, Wen Watching Wen Leyu, occupies one big box alone, and the other three people in the family squeeze into one box.
What is this called?
This is called having discernment. Don't look at the other three people in the family who are all "Director" this and "Director" that with power and influence, but the most useful one is still her, Wen Watching Wen Leyu. Li Ye knows it very clearly.
"Cough, I bought a bit too much for you, so I spent your mom's manuscript fee too. You have to cover for me when we go to your house later, don't make Teacher Ke unhappy."
"Absolutely not," Wen Watching Wen Leyu pouted her little chin and said confidently: "My mom's manuscript fee has been entrusted to me for management, and I guarantee she won't ask about the 'small treasury of you and me' again."
Wen Watching Wen Leyu has enough confidence. Last time she reasoned with her mom. Based on the understanding between mother and daughter, Teacher Ke would absolutely not ask about the money of "her and Li Ye" again.
Li Ye carried the two big boxes out of the main room. Wang Wang Qiangdong immediately came out from the side room, helped Li Ye take the boxes onto the car, and then prepared to drive Li Ye out.
But Li Ye said: "I'll drive myself. Today you let Qiangzi take you around, taste the snacks in Beijing, and see the lanterns in Beijing."
Wang Wang Qiangdong was stunned for a moment and was about to say something, but was stopped by Wang Wang Jianqiang with his eyes.
After Li Ye drove away, Wang Wang Jianqiang said to Wang Wang Qiangdong: "In the future, when you meet this girl, don't crowd around. Do you know what a light bulb is?"
Wang Wang Qiangdong said gloomily: "But when I came, Uncle Li said that I should follow Li Ye in the future and must protect his safety."
"Hi~"
Wang Wang Jianqiang patted Wang Wang Qiangdong on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry about this! With Li Ye's ability, ordinary people are no match for him, and whoever is blind enough to provoke that girl will have a good show to watch!"
Because today is Sunday, Teacher Ke and the Wen father and son are all at home. When Li Ye entered the door, Teacher Ke had basically finished cooking.
Li Ye put down the things and went to the kitchen to help, which made Teacher Ke very satisfied.
With such a son-in-law who can make money, can cook, and knows how to love people, will their Wen Watching Wen Leyu be wronged in the future?
The food was on the table. Wen Watching Wen Leyu took out the several bottles of brandy she gave to Wen Wen Qingsheng from Li Ye's big suitcase. Wen Wen Qingsheng said "too polite, too expensive" while asking his son to fill Li Ye's glass.
Li Ye took away so many New Year's goods from them before the New Year. How could he only remember Wen Watching Wen Leyu and her mother and forget the two men after the New Year?
It's just that the suitcase was "too small" to fit, so two bottles of foreign wine, plus two pairs of high-end leather shoes, were all Li Ye gave to Wen Wen Qingsheng and Wen Wen Guohua.
At the beginning, Wen Watching Wen Leyu took a pair of imported leather shoes from Wen Wen Qingsheng for Li Ye. If the old man doesn't say anything, he should have some sense in his heart.
The atmosphere at the wine table was very good. Teacher Ke served Li Ye a bowl of soup and asked with a smile: "How was your trip to Hong Kong? Were you dazzled by the prosperity there?"
Li Ye shook his head and said: "Prosperity is definitely more prosperous than ours, but not everyone lives very richly, and it's not like gold is everywhere to be picked up."
"Many people are also worrying about what to eat tomorrow, and class oppression is much more serious than ours. It's even more difficult for ordinary people to rise than ours..."
Teacher Ke was very surprised. She just asked casually, not expecting Li Ye to answer so seriously.
In fact, the mainland has its own forces in Hong Kong. Ordinary people don't know the real situation in Hong Kong, but the higher-ups certainly know, and Teacher Ke also knows a little bit.
So she asked again: "How do you know these? Did friends from the publishing house there tell you?"
"You could say that! Besides the people from the publishing house, I also chatted with two writer peers. They reacted very strongly to this problem...
However, many people there have misunderstandings about us, and I found that their textbooks have some small problems."
"Textbooks have problems? What problems?"
Teacher Ke didn't pay much attention to it at first. After all, what Li Ye said didn't belong to her scope of responsibility, but she was in the education system and was very sensitive to textbooks.
"I can't say clearly. I bought a few books back and they are in the suitcase. If you have time, take a look. Anyway, I find them awkward."
"Alright, I'll take a look later."
Teacher Ke looked at Li Ye and became more and more satisfied.
Just now she saw Li Ye carrying two big boxes into the door and thought he had been busy shopping in Hong Kong for these few days! She didn't expect him to have done some proper business.
The inspections and exchanges in this day and age are basically official business + shopping. Li Ye's performance is more reliable than many formal exchange people. If you take the age factor into account, it can't just be described as "excellent."
"Oh, let's not talk about business at the wine table," Wen Wen Qingsheng raised his glass to Li Ye: "I have to thank you, Li Ye. Xiao Yu has been practicing well these days, her body is better. Hey, I said before that your Teacher Ke wouldn't listen. Let's drink two cups happily."
"Ah?"
Li Ye was a bit embarrassed, because Wen Watching Wen Leyu once said she wanted to learn bayonet fighting with Wen Wen Qingsheng, but was stopped by Teacher Ke.
As a result, now she was "led astray" by Li Ye again. Would Teacher Ke be unhappy?
Li Ye quietly looked at Teacher Ke and found that she was smiling and didn't seem to have any reaction.
But when he drank three bottles of wine with Wen Wen Qingsheng and Wen Wen Guohua, and saw the father and son swaying and about to fall, he finally realized something was wrong with Teacher Ke.
Before, at this time, Teacher Ke would raise her glass to have one with Li Ye, "knocking down" Li Ye to maintain Wen Wen Qingsheng's face.
As a result, today Teacher Ke just looked at Wen Wen Qingsheng with a smile and didn't mean to help at all.
Fine, you can't offend anyone, but you can't offend Teacher Ke. Two uncles, big brother, you guys just fall down!
"I'm done, Uncle Wen, you do as you please."
"Dry, dry... dry it."
Li Ye was "drunk." Teacher Ke didn't allow him to drive after drinking and "forcibly" kept him in the guest room.
Wen Watching Wen Leyu covered Li Ye with a quilt and quietly retreated before finding Teacher Ke and saying: "Mom, your prestige is getting bigger and bigger. You don't even need to speak to scare Li Ye into pretending to be drunk."
"Why, blaming me?"
Teacher Ke smiled and said: "Xiao Yu, in fact, your temper is a bit stubborn. Practicing bayonet fighting can strengthen your body, but it's also easy to practice a sense of hostility. Li Ye knocking down a dozen people with one shot looks prestigious, but it's actually very dangerous."
"Mom, why do you sound just like Li Ye! He also nags me all day, practice once every three days, strengthen the body, can't be brave and fight..."
"Li Ye is right! You don't want to listen to me, don't you even listen to his?"
"Why should I listen to him?" Wen Watching Wen Leyu twisted her mouth and then hugged Teacher Ke's arm: "I'd rather listen to Mom."
The mother and daughter chatted while opening the suitcase Li Ye brought, and took out the clothes to try them on.
Teacher Ke put on the low-luxury brand coat Li Ye bought for her specifically and was very satisfied.
This was also bought by Fan Fan Xiuling according to Li Ye's requirements, taking him to several shopping malls in Hong Kong.
It felt great, but the style and color were not flashy. It looked conservative, but it was simple and shaped, very much in line with her status.
However, Teacher Ke also liked several of Wen Watching Wen Leyu's windbreakers and coats very much. She just couldn't wear too flashy clothes because of her work, but which woman doesn't love beauty?
Wen Watching Wen Leyu smiled mischievously and said: "Li Ye accidentally bought too many, so he used all your manuscript fee for me. Mom, you pick one from mine, pick one."
Teacher Ke looked at her daughter with a half-smile and teased: "Oh, how can that be! Xiao Yu, are you really willing?"
Wen Watching Wen Leyu said generously: "Of course I'm willing, Mom, you pick whatever you want, I guarantee I won't be unreasonable with you."
Teacher Ke smiled, picked one up, and put it on.
As a result, she couldn't button it.
Change to another one, the sleeves are too long.
Teacher Ke turned her head slowly and looked at Wen Watching Wen Leyu.
Wen Watching Wen Leyu smiled "hehehe," just like a cunning little fox.
"Mom, this isn't me being stingy. Li Ye bought a small size, you can't wear it yourself... you can't blame me for being stingy!"
"Ouch~"
Teacher Ke hummed with a smile, and a flick of her finger hit Wen Watching Wen Leyu's head, scattering all the little girl's pride.
