Chapter 490
"Don't talk about separation, I won't cry because of this, that was just a dream last night~"
The Big White Rat's motorcycle tricycle was hung with colored lights, and the speakers were playing songs, while it was busy stir-frying and serving dishes, which could be said to have maximized the atmosphere of gourmet food and fireworks.
Pear Blossom didn't have time to cook because she was rushing paper craft orders, but there were several big eaters in the family, like Chen Xiyuan and Runsheng, who couldn't control their metabolism right now. Stir-frying a few dishes was simple, but stir-frying a few pots of dishes was difficult.
So during the day, everyone either cooked noodles or boiled porridge with pickles to make do, and at night, when the Big White Rat came, they relied on late-night snacks to improve their meals.
From this, one could also see how powerful Liu Yi was when she was at home, making paper crafts and incense candles while also taking care of cooking for a group of mules in the family; she could even squeeze out a lot of leisure time to crack melon seeds.
Mu Qiuying took the skewers and placed them on the plate in front of Chen Xiyuan, then picked up chopsticks to help her push aside and pick out the roasted eggplant and put it in a bowl.
Miss Chen never wolfed down her food when eating, always eating very gently, but she focused on eating non-stop, so two hands were a bit insufficient.
Mu Qiuying had a very good impression of Chen Xiyuan, because when she first arrived here, Miss Chen was very enthusiastic toward her and even diligently took her to the kiln factory to move bricks.
Moreover, Miss Chen also took the initiative to tell her that she would accompany her back to Mu Family Village to help. For this, Mu Qiuying was very grateful, although she still didn't understand what the "this way" meant in the sentence "After I help you this way, you also have to help me this way."
Tan Wenbin held a cigarette in his hand, drinking beer while holding a mobile phone, talking to Zhou Yunyun.
Lin Shu You held a handheld game console, drinking soy milk of the same style as Brother Xiaoyuan while holding a mobile phone, listening to Chen Lin talking.
Every time Tan Wenbin made a call, he would ask A-You to call with him.
A-You was shy and embarrassed to call at first, but Tan Wenbin said this wouldn't do, it would make it look like his phone bill alone was very high, and embezzling public funds would be too obvious, so they had to do it together.
In reality, Chen Lin and Zhou Yunyun basically stayed together. If Yunyun called here and Linlin was free, it would be a bit awkward.
Even if he didn't know how many times he had called, every time Lin Shu You finished dialing, he would clear his throat lightly and say very seriously after it connected:
Hello!
Tan Wenbin didn't tease him less about this, saying he should add "Comrade Chen" after it.
However, although A-You was not good at words with girls, Chen Lin would find topics. Every call was a kind of enjoyment for A-You. Chen Lin even took the initiative to learn and understand the history of the Official General Head for his sake.
As for Runsheng, it wasn't that everyone didn't recommend him to use a mobile phone; anyway, the team's funds weren't short of money. Even if they were short, just opening his mouth to mention it to Brother Liangliang would do. This could also be considered helping Brother Liangliang, after all, every time Brother Liangliang had a job transfer, he had to write an explanation about the source of his huge assets.
But more shy than Runsheng was Yin Meng. Every time Yin Meng heard the voices of partners on the other end of the receiver, she would be embarrassed to speak, which made Runsheng unable to respond with "uh-huh."
Li Zhuiyuan peeled shrimp for A-Li, removed the shrimp line, and put it into the vinegar bowl in front of A-Li.
The young man himself, however, hadn't eaten boiled shrimp for a long time.
Just as it was lively, a spark appeared on the path, and when it got closer, Li Sanjiang's figure could be seen.
Li Sanjiang had drunk some wine, half-drunk, walked to the terrace, saw this scene, and smiled:
"Haha, it's really lively, who is the one cooking?"
Li Sanjiang leaned in front of the Big White Rat, pushed its hat aside, took off its sunglasses, and took a look.
Whoa.
This thief-eyed, rat-browed thing is really ugly.
"The young man is not bad, looks very spirited."
Tan Wenbin: "Grandpa Li, this is a friend of ours. It plans to open a small restaurant itself and invited us to try the dishes tonight."
"Oh, is that so? Not bad, not bad, the young man not only has spirit but also drive."
Li Sanjiang sat down.
Seeing Mu Qiuying, he tried hard to recognize her and asked: "Girl, who are you?"
Tan Wenbin: "She is a distant cousin of Grandma Liu, named Mu Qiuying."
Li Sanjiang: "What, Mother Earthworm?"
Mu Qiuying stood up and bowed to Li Sanjiang very formally: "Greetings, Grandpa!"
Chen Xiyuan reached out and pulled Mu Qiuying's hem. Mu Qiuying then realized that she seemed to have done something wrong.
Mainly because Great-Grandpa was very busy recently and would avoid most people, so no one remembered to remind Mu Qiuying how to face Li Sanjiang.
Li Sanjiang was stunned by this set of actions, then pointed at her and smiled: "Haha, girl, you are learning to sing opera, right?"
Mu Qiuying nodded repeatedly: "Uh-huh, uh-huh."
Li Sanjiang rubbed his stomach and took the chopsticks handed over by Tan Wenbin: "I'll try it too."
He had drunk a lot of wine at night, but hadn't eaten much food. After the cold wind blew on the road, he was really hungry when he got home.
He picked up a chopstick of food and put it into his mouth. Li Sanjiang's eyes lit up: "Hey, not bad."
Tan Wenbin served Li Sanjiang a bowl of rice.
With the full table of dishes, after a bowl of rice went down, Li Sanjiang gave the Big White Rat a thumbs up:
"It's done, this skill, opening a shop will definitely make money!"
The Big White Rat hurriedly leaned over to bow and thank him for the praise.
Li Sanjiang stood up and reached out to pat the Big White Rat's leather jacket shoulder:
"Thanks, sorry to trouble you for cooking."
"It should be, it should be... hiss!"
The Big White Rat's body suddenly straightened, reached back to touch, and was immediately shocked. The tail that originally had a section was actually gone; it actually touched its own tailbone!
Li Sanjiang walked swayingly into the house, preparing to go upstairs to return to his room to rest, waving his hand as he walked:
"These days are really busy, finally finished, hehehe, the money owed for the tractor has been earned back!"
After finishing, Li Sanjiang paused and specifically looked back at Little Young Master Yuan. Seeing Little Young Master Yuan was tilting his head and talking to A-Li, Li Sanjiang also breathed a sigh of relief and entered the house.
After Great-Grandpa went up to the terrace and returned to his room, Li Zhuiyuan said:
"Grandma Liu and the others should be back tomorrow."
Tan Wenbin nodded.
Runsheng gnawed on a pig's trotter with "scallions."
Lin Shu You: "Did you get a call today?"
Late-night snack ended.
Everyone helped the Big White Rat tidy up things.
The Big White Rat asked Lin Shu You excitedly: "Master Lin, what does Grandpa like to eat?"
Lin Shu You: "Grandpa Li? Likes to eat pig head meat..."
The Big White Rat wiped some pot ash with its hand and recorded it on the tricycle.
"Okay, I will prepare all these ingredients tomorrow night!"
Tan Wenbin said: "Don't come tomorrow night."
Big White Rat: "Okay, then I'll come the night after tomorrow."
Tan Wenbin: "Don't come for the near future unless we call."
Hearing this, the Big White Rat's small eyes immediately widened.
Tan Wenbin: "Be obedient, good, if you come tomorrow night, you'll easily become a dried rat hanging on the wall."
The Big White Rat seemed to think of something, looked toward the west room, and immediately nodded hard.
Tan Wenbin didn't forget to remind the people around: "When Auntie Liu comes back tomorrow, remember to cry to Auntie Liu that these days have been nothing but boiled noodles and porridge, and it's been so miserable."
Chen Xiyuan responded while packing up the late-night snack for the second half of the night: "If Sister doesn't come back, I'll be starved thin."
The Big White Rat rode the motorcycle tricycle down the terrace. When driving, its buttocks kept twisting happily on the seat, and its posture was enchanting.
Tan Wenbin called He Shen, who was in the long-distance transport business, and booked a car with him. He Shen said he would bring the fleet over personally when the time came.
Because Great-Grandpa was back, Li Zhuiyuan slept in the west room with A-Li tonight.
The next morning.
According to the routine, A-Li got up first.
In the past, every day at this time, she would go to the second-floor room after being combed by Grandma.
At this moment, Li Zhuiyuan hadn't woken up yet, so A-Li lay on her side, looking at the young man sleeping soundly on the opposite bed.
Li Zhuiyuan woke up on time, opened his eyes, and smiled at the girl.
Outside, there was also movement.
Li Zhuiyuan got out of bed and pushed open the door, seeing the cooking smoke rising from the kitchen chimney, looking at Qin Shu who was holding a hoe preparing to go to the fields, and Grandma Liu who was sitting on the terrace holding a teacup.
Like last time, Grandma Liu was accustomed to this kind of silent return.
It should be the past experience that made her very repulsive to the ritual process of farewell and reunion.
Li Zhuiyuan walked to Grandma Liu and reached out to put his hand on her wrist.
Grandma Liu's state was obviously a bit abnormal, exceeding the scope of using the secret technique of tracing youth.
"You are overdrawn a bit severely."
Grandma Liu: "But it's worth it."
Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "Not worth it, they are grasshoppers after autumn, not worth you consuming your vitality."
Grandma Liu: "Our family's Xiaoyuan, always speaks so nicely."
Li Zhuiyuan: "It's not picking nice things to say, but it's not cost-effective."
Grandma Liu: "But Grandma, I had a lot of fun."
Li Zhuiyuan: "Then it's cost-effective."
A-Li walked out of the west room, holding a comb, and stood in front of Grandma Liu.
Grandma Liu looked at A-Li's face, then stretched out her arms and hugged her granddaughter in her arms.
Li Zhuiyuan noticed that Grandma Liu's hands were touching vaguely, not daring to use force.
This should be seeing the figures of her parents from A-Li.
"Xiaoyuan, let's talk later."
"Okay, I also need to wash up first."
