Chapter 436: Chen Xue's Resentment(1/2)
Chapter 436 Chen Xue’s Resentment
Today’s breakfast is soup and rice with toasted buns!
In fact, for locals in Licheng, soup rice with grilled naan is the most authentic way to eat it.
However, Chen Li really liked eating baked buns, so his second mother, Tian Xiaoli, accommodated his taste.
Yes~ Chen Li has an inexplicable love for baked buns.
Especially the one selling baked buns near his second father’s house. The baked buns are so good!
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!
The outer crisp refers to the outer skin of the bun. Because it is baked, it is called crispy.
The tenderness, of course, refers to the mutton inside.
The simple combination of pepper and salt restores the tenderness of the mutton.
The reason why Chen Li likes to eat the baked buns at this store is because the business of this store is very good, so the mutton is also very fresh.
Hmm~ It seems that this sentence is contradictory, but in fact it is like this.
Stores with good business often use fresher ingredients, but stores that use fresher ingredients may not necessarily have good business.
After all, catering still has to test the skill of the cook.
A big bowl of soup and rice~ Chen Li ate another four whole baked buns. This amount of food was already quite large.
After breakfast, since there were no plans to go out for fun today, a bunch of housewives at home started playing mahjong again.
Liu Qingqing was serving tea and water beside her, and when she was done, she hugged her mother and future mother-in-law, watching the battle and giving instructions.
As for the younger generation Chen Xue, Wang Yan and Chen Tingting, they started their studies under the guidance of Teacher Wang.
Chen Li's cousin Zhou Ling has occupied the TV in the living room. The local TV station here is currently playing "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 1" repeatedly, eight episodes a day!
As for the men in the family, they had already gone out early in the morning while Chen Li was still sleeping.
They went fishing!
Originally Chen Li was supposed to go too, but these guys got up too early and Chen Li couldn't get up.
In addition, he had other ideas, so he decided to go alone.
After saying hello to the hostesses at home, Chen Li glanced at Liu Qingqing with a somewhat "hateful" look.
During this trip, Liu Qingqing actually rarely spent time with Chen Linu. She spent most of the time with Chen Li's mother.
Miss Liu stuck out her tongue at Chen Li and cast an "apologetic" look.
Okay~ Liu Qingqing wants to have a good relationship with her future mother-in-law, and Chen Li is naturally happy to see this.
After grabbing a handful of raisins and finding a pocket to put a lot of almonds in, Chen Li went out.
"Hey~ Xiao Chen is going fishing?"
As soon as I went out, I met Uncle Zhang across the street. He was a colleague of Chen Li's second father. During this period, Chen Li's second aunt and his family were staying at their house.
This kind of old neighbor for many years has a better relationship and relationship than some relatives who don't have much contact with each other.
"Hmm~eh? Uncle Zhang is back so early?"
The Uncle Zhang mentioned by Chen Li was carrying fishing gear in his hand. He also went fishing early in the morning with Chen Li's father, second father, second uncle, and others.
"Well~ I'm going to work soon."
This Uncle Zhang is considered an old fisherman. It was this Uncle Zhang who led Chen Li's father to the fishing place today.
It is already half past nine in the morning. The reason why Uncle Zhang has not gone to work at this time is mainly because there is almost two hours of time difference between Xijiang and Yanjing.
Even in government departments here, it is normal to go to work at 10 a.m.
Especially in winter, the sky may not get dark until 10 o'clock in the morning.
The weather here is very interesting. In the summer, it doesn’t get dark until 10:11 pm, but it gets light after 5:00 am, and the daylight hours are as long as 17 or 18 hours a day.
But in winter, it gets dark after six o'clock in the evening and only gets light after nine or ten in the morning.
This is actually a "challenge" for people who have been living in Sichuan Province.
When Chen Li first came to Xijiang in his previous life, he had to put a lot of effort into getting used to sleep.
"The weather is very good today, but your second dad's skills are too poor. When I left, only your dad caught one."
As Uncle Zhang spoke, he showed Chen Li his record.
The two carp are quite big, the smallest one is estimated to weigh two or three pounds.
There is the Li River in Licheng, which is one of the three major rivers in Western Xinjiang and is also quite rich in fish resources.
Fortunately, it is now 1999. When Chen Li came here in his previous life, the fish resources in Lihe River were greatly damaged due to overfishing.
At that time, Chen Li's father and second father were fishing, and occasionally even went to the fishing ground, because wild fishing was often done by the air force.
However, in 1999, this problem was not serious. Every time I went fishing, I would gain something.
Saying goodbye to Uncle Zhang, Chen Li took the fishing gear and rode on a motorcycle.
This is the car of Chen Li's second father. They went there by van when there were many people in the morning. Chen Li was alone, so he just rode a motorcycle.
"Brother~!"
Just as he was about to start the motorcycle, he heard his sister's voice coming from behind him.
"I am coming too!"
Chen Xue ran down from upstairs and climbed onto the motorcycle without saying a word.
"Aren't you studying?" Chen Li asked instead without starting.
"I'm reviewing ~ Teacher Wang is teaching Yanzi and Tingting their first year of high school classes right now!"
"I'll take a break first!"
Chen Xue's mouth started to pout when she talked about learning.
She never expected that she would avoid tutoring from the senior class of Erlong Middle School, only to end up falling behind her brother's ability.
Is private tutoring something that ordinary people can afford?
Well~ Unlike Chen Guofu's generation, Chen Xue actually doesn't feel much about the fact that her brother has become rich.
In Chen Xue's opinion, her brother has indeed become rich, and the money given to her during the Chinese New Year is not taken back for recycling.
Normally, Chen Xue would buy some reference books or something, but Chen Li directly bought her a complete set of them available on the market.
God knows how desperate Chen Xue felt when she saw the large box of reference books that her elder brother asked Li Yuan to bring back.
However, Chen Xue really didn’t know much about her elder brother’s financial resources.
After all, she is still a high school student, and she lives in Erlong Town, so Chen wants to make a fortune. This concept is not really exaggerated in Chen Xue's mind.
However, this trip to Western Xinjiang gave Chen Xue a different understanding of her brother.
First up is flying!
It is no exaggeration to say that there should not be many people in Erlong Town who have flown by plane so far.
There must be some, after all, there are also people in Erlong Town who have made a fortune doing business outside, and there are quite a few of them.
It's just that most of these people still choose to take trains as a way of traveling. At most, buying a sleeper ticket is a sign of wealth.
Only a very few people would choose to fly.
However, this does not mean that there are not many people in Erlong Town who are good at flying. It is just that when people choose to take transportation these days, flying is definitely not the first choice.
Although flying is convenient and fast, its high price is destined to make most people choose trains and cars as their first means of transportation when traveling.
There's no way around it. For a plane ticket, after deducting the cost of train tickets and bus tickets, the extra money may be one or two months' salary of an ordinary person.
This time, Chen Li bought plane tickets for everyone, which gave Chen Xue a new understanding of his brother's financial resources.
Except for Chen Li, all of the people traveling this time were flying for the first time.
Even before setting off, Chen Xue couldn't wait to show off to her friends.
Well, it’s a plane after all!
Then~ after arriving in Urumqi, Chen Li once again felt how wealthy his brother was.
Because Chen Li and Chen Xue had different departure times, and before Chen Li arrived in Urumqi, when Chen Guoqiang made arrangements, the hotel room was relatively tight.
But when we go out, in fact, no one really cares about this.
Including Chen Xue, well~ actually she doesn't understand this at all.
Although she had to share a bed with several people, as a child, what right did she have to say?
But after Chen Li appeared, this situation changed instantly.
Several more hotel rooms were booked, and Chen Li even had a single room to himself.
Although Chen Xue occasionally heard her cousin muttering about her elder brother as a "slut" in private, in Chen Xue's opinion, this was called "dominance".
