Chapter 785: In Front of Loved Ones, the Tiger Becomes a Sick Cat
At 5:30 in the morning, Li Yue's Santana drove on the pitch-black streets of the capital, swaying in curves like a drunkard, and frequently stalling with a "clunk-clunk" sound. It was obvious it wasn't being driven by an experienced driver.
Li Juan sat in the driver's seat, pursing her lips and looking straight ahead, her two hands tightly gripping the steering wheel as if she wanted to break it.
And in her ear was the cold scolding of the "coach," Li Yue.
"Look forward with your eyes, who told you to look down to change gears?"
"Don't shake the steering wheel randomly, just graze it a little..."
"Can you stop stepping on the gas pedal so hard? Do you have donkey hooves under your legs? If I hadn't put a brick under the gas pedal, you would have flown away..."
"..."
Although Li Yue's words were very harsh, Li Juan had been practicing for more than an hour and didn't dare to talk back at all.
She wasn't afraid of Li Yue's pressure, but anyone who could crawl out of bed at 4:00 AM to accompany you to practice driving shouldn't have any complaints.
Moreover, everything Li Yue scolded was "on point." Li Yue had only practiced for three mornings, and she felt her driving skills had already entered the door.
Because Li Ye had requested Li Juan to do two things this summer vacation: one was to learn to drive, and the other was to intern with the Great God Ni.
Because Li Juan's collective household registration was still at Beijing University, after her vacation, Li Ye wanted Pan Xiaoying to accommodate it, and she obtained the motor vehicle learning permit following the "establishment" of the internship unit.
But her sister Li Yue felt that it was not good to owe Pan Xiaoying favors, so she simply took full responsibility and solved the problem of learning to drive from her unit's side.
These years, it wasn't the decades later when the whole country was networked. Once something happened, they would trace it back twenty years, and no one's signature would be very useful.
However, accommodation was accommodation, and Li Yue also did things according to the rules. She first let Li Juan get the motor vehicle learning permit. As long as there was a formal driver accompanying her, she could go on the road to learn driving.
Then Li Yue asked Li Juan to get up early in the morning to practice driving on the quiet and deserted road. Even if she made a mistake, it would only hurt the flowers and grass on the side of the road.
Then Li Yue demanded that Li Juan get up early in the morning to practice driving on the quiet, deserted roads; even if she made a mistake, she would only be hurting the flowers and plants on the side of the road.
As for whether the two would yawn after going to work, that was another matter.
After entering the door, Li Juan went straight to the kitchen to help. Han Chunmei was indeed already busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast.
Seeing her eldest daughter return covered in sweat, Han Chunmei asked in a low voice: "How was the practice today? Do you still want to learn to drive?"
"I'm practicing very well!"
Li Juan said while helping nimbly: "We circled the West City seven or eight times, and a lot of gas money was spent. If I give up halfway, I'll be sorry to my brother."
"..."
Han Chunmei was silent for a long time before saying faintly: "Then you should learn well..."
As early as a few years ago, when Li Ye expressed that he would let Li Juan and Li Ying "learn to drive when they grow up," Han Chunmei was very happy.
Even when Li Ye promised that the two sisters could have their own small cars like their eldest sister Li Yue, Han Chunmei was full of gratitude and thanksgiving.
But now, she always felt "unworthy of the favor."
The person's own biological mother was still alive, so what was she?
"Eh, Yang Xiaojuan is already back? I got up late again today."
Li Ye walked into the kitchen lazily and found Han Chunmei distracted, so he said something to make conversation.
Grandma had been having back pain from looking after the children these past few days, and Watching Wen Leyu was now a little milk cow, so both had to be well-served to maintain sleep. So the cooking fell on Li Ye and Han Chunmei.
Although Han Chunmei kept emphasizing that she could do it, Li Ye still tried his best to help her if he could get up.
Han Chunmei regained her senses and hurriedly said: "Not late, not late. Yang Xiaojuan also just came back. Actually, you don't need to get up early. The kitchen has me and Yang Xiaojuan..."
"It's okay, since I'm awake, I might as well be idle,"
Li Ye smiled casually and asked Li Juan: "How about it? Did you have any insights from learning to drive this morning? Did your sister scold you again?"
Li Juan, who was busy boiling porridge, shook her head and denied it: "No, no, my sister's temper is very good now, she doesn't scold people at all."
"Forget it! If she doesn't scold people, the sun must rise from the west."
Li Ye revealed the bottom of his sister Li Yue and then explained: "But learning to drive is normal for a teacher to scold an apprentice. If you don't believe it, ask everyone, when she first started driving, did she get scolded by me?"
Li Juan looked at Li Ye blankly, her eyeballs drifted to the right, and her mouth pursed hard.
Li Ye didn't need to look back to hear the footsteps; he knew his sister had arrived and could even guess the sneer on her face.
He looked back and said stubbornly: "I'll say this even if my sister is here. The more you scold, the faster you learn..."
Li Yue took a deep breath and suddenly said with a bright smile: "Is that so? How come I don't remember you teaching me to drive? I only remember that Xiao Yu was taught by you."
Li Yue's driving skills really didn't go through much of Li Ye's guidance. After she got her driver's license through connections in her hometown, she drove all the way from Qingshui County to the capital with Jin Peng and the others, and she basically learned it after five hundred kilometers.
"Xiao Yu..."
Li Ye pursed his lips, his ears moved, and he really heard a faint sound of footsteps.
【Sister, you digging a hole for your brother is not authentic!】
Li Ye said seriously: "I have to tell the truth. Xiao Yu is much smarter than you two, especially in driving, she has very high talent. When I came back from Hong Kong, she was already driving, and she even took me to find Pan Xiaoying to play bowling..."
"I have always wanted to teach her to improve her driving skills, let her know my ability, but I didn't find a few chances to show my power. Alas, poor me, Li Ye, wise and martial, but in her eyes, I have always been a sick cat..."
"Hahahahaha~"
"Giggle giggle~"
Li Yue and Li Juan laughed out loud, feeling "deeply ashamed" of Li Ye's self-deprecating behavior of being afraid of his wife.
And Watching Wen Leyu also walked to the kitchen door holding the child with a smile, and reached out to lift Xiao Dou'er to Li Ye: "Well, find your sick cat dad to hold you, let him learn a few cat calls for you to listen to."
"Come, come, come, I'll learn for my precious daughter to listen to... Aow~ woo, aow~ woo."
"Hahahahaha~"
Li Ye picked up Xiao Dou'er and made "aow woo aow woo" tiger roars in his mouth.
I was born a fierce tiger, but I only pretend to be a sick cat to the people I love, okay?
When eating breakfast, Grandma also asked about Li Juan learning to drive, and beat Li Yue a few times, saying she must be patient, civilized, and not allowed to scold or yell at little Li Juan.
Sister Li Juan lowered her head and ate, not daring to speak. She dared to talk back to anyone in this family, except Grandma Wu Juying.
If you want to talk about who is the real tiger in the family, Grandma says she is second, and no one dares to admit she is first.
Li Ye blinked his eyes and suddenly asked: "Grandma, you are not sixty years old yet, right?"
Wu Juying looked at Li Ye and asked back: "Why, are you in a hurry to hold my sixtieth birthday party?"
"No," Li Ye explained: "I remember that you can learn a driver's license before you are sixty. Grandma, you should also learn one. It will be more convenient to take the children out in the future! And to go back to Qingshui to see Grandpa..."
"My old eyes are dim, what should I learn to drive? Don't learn, don't learn."
Wu Juying immediately rejected Li Ye's crazy idea.
Decades later, old ladies under seventy can learn to drive, but in the 80s, after retiring at fifty-five, they all felt that their yellow soil was buried up to their necks, so what was there to learn about driving?
Li Ye didn't force it, but turned to look at Han Chunmei: "Then you go learn to drive. It's better to rely on yourself than others. Otherwise, if there is something in the future, you can't always rely on your sisters..."
Han Chunmei, who was burying her head in eating, looked up in surprise and confirmed for several seconds before confirming that Li Ye was talking about her.
"Me? I can't, I can't, I'm clumsy..."
But before Han Chunmei could refuse, Grandma Wu Juying said unquestioningly: "Chunmei, you can. You are not even forty this year."
"After you learn to drive, take me and the children out for a stroll. It will be easier to go back to Qingshui to see your father and Kaian in the future. We can't always rely on these lazy people..."
"Mom, I really can't..."
"If you don't try, how do you know you can't? Why? What I say is no longer useful?"
"..."
Facing Wu Juying, Han Chunmei didn't even have the power to parry, let alone resist like Li Yue. She could only follow obediently with a bitter face.
But Watching Wen Leyu and Li Yue looked at each other and realized the tacit understanding between Li Ye and Grandma.
Han Chunmei is a person who has lived for others all her life. Letting her learn to drive, take care of children, and see her husband, keeping her busy with things, will make her think less wildly.
After she slowly experiences the beauty of life, the depression in her heart will slowly dissipate.
After breakfast, Li Ye drove to work and dropped Li Juan off at the bus station on the way.
When they were about to reach the station, Li Juan suddenly said gloomily: "Brother, thank you."
Li Ye glanced at Li Juan and said: "Don't mention the word 'thank you' to me. If you mention it, it will be distant."
"Oh~"
Li Juan lowered her head again, feeling resentful as if she were a child who had done something wrong.
Seeing the little girl depressed, Li Ye teased: "If you think your eldest sister didn't teach you well, how about I let your second sister Ru teach you for a few days?"
Li Juan was stunned, and her head shook like a rattle: "I don't want second sister to teach me, she's not even as good as eldest sister!"
"..."
Well, men will never understand the thoughts of women. Fu Yiruo is such a gentle little girl, how could she be so scary in Li Juan's eyes?
However, Li Juan now calls Fu Yiruo "second sister," which proves that the smooth integration of the family is ultimately a matter of course. ===== CHAPTER 786 =====
Fine! A man will never understand a woman's mind. Fu Yiruo is such a gentle little girl, so why is she so terrifying in Li Juan's eyes?
However, since Li Juan is now calling Fu Yiruo "Second Sister," it proves that the smooth integration of the family is, after all, a natural outcome.
