"Are you willing to let your wife come back alone?"
Li Jingming smiled and said, "Definitely not."
"that is.
How can I not know your temper?
Just by sticking up your ass, I know what you are going to fart.
Let your wife go back to Yang County alone, unless you are tied up, you will come back anyway."
Li Jingming laughed twice.
Anping threw the blocks to Anan and said, "Son, please call aunt and uncle."
Four-year-old An An is now placed in the nursery by Mi Li. During this period, the nursery is on holiday, so An An stays at home.
An An was very smart and sensible. He obediently called him uncle and aunt, and An Ping sent An An to play alone.
Anping said: "Hurry up and sit down, let's have a drink.
By the way, when did you come back?
Where to stay at night?
The courtyard has not been inhabited for a long time, so I'm afraid the quilt will get damp if you sleep there."
Anping was like a housekeeper. A series of questions made Li Jingming and Yang Lina not bored, but rather friendly.
Li Jingming pulled Anping, and Anping fell heavily on the sofa.
"You don't care where we sleep, right?
We came back yesterday, and my wife took care of things in the two stores.
We plan to go back to the village tomorrow to have a look, there are still many things in the village waiting for me to go back and deal with."
Anping asked again: "Are you planning to return to the capital to celebrate the New Year?"
"My four children are all in the capital, and I have to go back."
Anping clicked his tongue twice and said with some displeasure: "I think that although I, Anping, am not a good person, I actually got to know you and that bastard named Su in this ungrateful place.
Little did I know that you all ran off in the name of starting a business and making money, leaving me and my wife here alone. It’s really not fun.
Without you, my life would be like a year."
Mi Li interjected while listening.
"I think it's not that your life is like a year without them, it's that you have no one to drink with you so that your life is like a year."
Anping smiled and said: "Look, the only one who knows me is my wife."
The four adults laughed.
Anping got up and went to get some liquor. Mi Li was not idle either, so he went into the kitchen to get some side dishes.
It just so happened that she had pickled pickled radish and chicken feet with pickled pepper recently.
The taste of rice grains is similar to that of Yang Lina. These are her favorite side dishes, so she often prepares some and puts them in the refrigerator.
Not bothering with rice grains, he put a few sausages into the pot and cooked them, and also fried a plate of peanuts and served them to the table.
Yang Lina said: "Stop working, we have had dinner tonight."
Mi Li said: "Sister Yang, don't stop me, I haven't talked to you yet.
You came all the way, at least tell me in advance so that I can prepare a table of food for you.
You are becoming more and more unfamiliar with me now, and you don't even say a word to me when you come back. No matter what happens tonight, let Brother Li and Anping sit down and have a drink, and you can try my craftsmanship. These are what you love.
Food.”
Yang Lina didn't want Mi Li to get involved. Seeing Mi Li being so busy, she followed her in, but was pushed out by Mi Li several times.
The rice grains were busy ping-ping-pong-pong in the kitchen.
After a while, a plate of beef mixed with coriander, steamed pork belly, cucumbers and spicy crayfish was brought out.
Good guy, I made seven or eight dishes in just a short while.
Yang Lina heard there was still movement in the kitchen and rushed in to pull out the rice grains.
"Okay, okay, this is too much to finish, and you will have leftovers again tomorrow."
Mi Li was indeed a little angry. She didn't have many friends in this county, only Yang Lina and the others.
When a good friend comes to visit, she will naturally treat her with the best.
Anping also advised: "Daughter-in-law, it's almost enough. When they come back from Yang County, we will set up a table at home to treat them to dinner."
Upon hearing this, Mi Li said happily: "Yes, why didn't I think of this?
Okay, then I won’t do it and you can just make do with it.”
Mi Li took off her apron, went in, washed her hands, came out, and sat down at the dining table.
Yang Lina waved to An An.
"An An, come here and come to Auntie. Auntie will feed you."
An An shook her head: "Auntie, I ate at night. I'm very full now and I don't want to eat yet."
Yang Lina smiled. After all, An An was a few months older than Dongdong and Xixi. This child spoke much more crisply than Dongdong and Xixi.
Mi Li said: "Don't worry about him. He has a good appetite. He eats three meals a day on time and doesn't usually eat snacks."
When it comes to eating, Yang Lina doesn't worry at all. Dongdong and Xixi have good appetites, but she is a little scared.
The growth of the two little guys is probably similar to that of Li Jingming. The children, who are just over three years old now, are already one meter tall.
After thinking about it, Yang Lina was also worried.
But if you are taller, you won't have to worry about finding a wife in the future.
Mi Li put a dry-pot shrimp in Yang Lina's bowl.
"Sister Yang, try the shrimp I made.
Our tastes are very similar, and I also like to eat this dish. I buy a lot of it when I buy it in Anping. I basically make it every day and never get tired of eating it.
Can you try it and see if the taste changes?"
Yang Lina also misses the past very much. Although she didn't have a lot of money in the past, hot pot shrimp was her must-order dish when she went to a restaurant.
Moreover, Li Jingming would always bring her this dish when he went out and returned. She was reluctant to eat it herself, and carefully picked up the shrimps for herself and put the shrimp meat into her mouth.
At this moment, Li Jingming peeled off the shell of the shrimp and handed it to Yang Lina's mouth.
Anping looked at the corners of his mouth and put down the wine glass in his hand.
"You two are already an old married couple, can you stop being so bored?
If you drink, just drink.”
Yang Lina and Li Jingming laughed.
Mi Li pushed Anping.
"You see how attentive Brother Li is, how can he be like you, just thinking about drinking?"
When Anping heard this, he stopped immediately.
"Isn't it just peeling shrimps? It's not like I haven't peeled them for you before."
Anping said as he picked up a shrimp, peeled it with his own hands and handed it to Mi Li's mouth.
Mi Li felt a little embarrassed.
Anping said: "Mom, come and take a bite, let some people see, we can also show our affection."
Mini covered her cheeks with her hands. She really wanted to find a mouse hole and crawl into it.
In the end, the piece of shrimp meat was eaten by rice grains.
Yang Lina had obviously eaten tonight, but looking at the food in front of her, she still couldn't help but eat a lot.
Strangely enough, although life was a bit harder and tiring when she had no money, Yang Lina felt that every day was fulfilling.
Now I am fine, my wallet is bulging, and I am extremely busy every day, but I always feel empty in my heart, as if something is missing.
Yang Lina's chicken feet with pickled peppers taste really authentic.
This had to remind her of the pickled pepper chicken feet made by her grandmother.
At this point, Yang Lina asked: "Why didn't Aunt Mi and Uncle Mi come?"
