Chapter 74

Although Xue Qingning always felt that he was not attractive, every time Li Weiyi left his body, he would somehow provoke some strange people.He didn't know why.

After bidding farewell to Li Wei's group of distant cousins, Xue Qingning was unwilling to communicate, and he would rather go to Li Xiang to play cards than this.Three people can play Doudizhu, but two people can play turtle.Or he also wants to play backgammon with Li Xiang. It is said that Professor Li is also very good at chess.

Li Xiang was sitting bored in the small living room thinking about something, when she saw Xue Qingning walking over with a pack of playing cards, paper and pens, she smiled and straightened up to call him over to play.The two started playing chess and games without chatting much.

The couple here are having fun, and Li Wei is looking for Li Guanlan over there.

He raised his foot and stepped over the threshold, walked straight into the lobby of the ancestral house, and asked directly to the people in the hall, "Dad, when is dinner ready?"

In the hall, several middle-aged men were sitting in two rows. They seemed to be discussing something before, when they saw Li Wei walking in, they all looked at him up and down.Sitting on the middle hall is Li Wei's father. Li Guanlan is holding a set of Ru kiln tea sets, and the teacups are filled with the best Longjing tea.

Seeing a son of his own age walk in, Father Li showed a trace of tenderness on his face, and said gently: "I am not cooking today, I will send someone to ask about it later."

"Don't bother others, I'll go and see by myself, and if the rice is ready, I'll eat it first."

"Okay, remember to leave a copy for your mother."

Li Wei came just like that, and wanted to leave just like that.The uncles in the hall stared at each other, and immediately called him: "Li Wei, stop!"

Li Wei paused, turned his head and looked over with a smile: "Hey, Uncle Li. Are you hungry too? How about we come together?"

Everyone in the hall was surnamed Li, and he didn't know who he called Uncle Li.

The man scolded him: "It's not big or small, you just come and leave? Why don't you say hello to us?"

In fact, Li Wei doesn't remember who is who at all. Except for a few people with deep images, the others are too strange.He snorted: "Isn't it because you are all talking about business? I am a child, how dare I disturb the elders."

He is 1.9 meters tall, standing there, everyone in the hall looks up to him, and he dared to say that he is a child.

A group of uncles talked again, and Li Wei thought to himself, instead of listening to the chatter of these people, he might as well peek at his little daughter-in-law taking a bath.By the way, there is no shower in this place. According to the skin of his little daughter-in-law, the bath water sprinkled with flower petals and milk is soaked in a wooden barrel. The mist evaporates and her face is flushed. The skin below the neck must be white and tender.You don't have to force yourself to take a bite, and you can leave a clear mark.

Seeing that he swallowed his throat without speaking and looked absent-minded, a few people talked more and more vigorously, similar to Li Wei who didn't look good after seeing each other for so long, and they all became an outsider. The elders say so.

Li Guanlan put the Ru kiln celadon on the table, making a slight crisp sound.Everyone at the scene suddenly fell silent, and the people discussing seemed to have been pressed the pause button.

Li Guanlan ran his fingers across the lid of the cup lightly, and glanced at Li Wei.

—You can start now. , for the father agreed.

Li Wei immediately understood after receiving his father's permission.

He turned his head to look at the person who had spoken before, and the national first-level irritating player logged in and went online in place: "Uncle Li, what you said just now is wrong. You said that I don't care about the family business, but now the whole family's business is in danger. It belongs to me and my dad. Can I ignore my dad? It’s impossible not to be close to the family. You see, my family is just me, my parents, and my little daughter-in-law. There are cats, three dogs, four orphans and widowed mothers. They are all a group of orphans. It is even more impossible to disrespect the elders. Look at what a good-looking child I am. I am good-looking and upright. I can't find the lantern either. If you really don't think so, then you must be blind!"

The uncle was stunned for a long time, and his breath stuck in his throat for a long time, and he uttered a syllable like an explosion: "You!!"

"But it's not your fault that you're blind, uncle, you're old after all, right? It's normal to have a little cataract and presbyopia." Li Wei smiled, "It's easy to get dementia when you're old, but it's okay. Don't worry, I will take you to the neurology department in a big hospital in the city some other day, because your eyes are not good, I will contact the doctor as soon as possible to pick them up for you, so that you can get something else if you get tired of walnuts."

Li Wei was powerful and sincere, as if he was reciting "Serving the Country with Loyalty" in full.

"Although we are all outsiders to each other, I am a person who respects the old and loves the young. Even if you have nothing to do with me, I will help you go to the old people in time for the sake of the country and the party's call to care for the elderly. Applying for a certificate of cancellation of the account will cover all your funeral affairs and give you peace of mind. If you are sick, treat it as soon as possible, but there is no way to cure it. Who told the grandma to go early, so there is no way to give birth to a second child in time. How about you add a brother? It's a pity that you are as lonely as a weed."

The audience was silent, and the face of the person who had been scolding Li Wei before was very exciting, as if he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood and splash Li Wei all over.

In terms of annoying people, Li Wei has never been afraid of anyone.This is due to the fact that although they are side branches, they both have the surname Li and stopped the car. They were afraid that they might accidentally hurt themselves by greeting their parents indiscriminately.Otherwise, Li, an old e-sports player from Zaan, might directly and politely ask the other party how long it needs to be cooked in the incinerator, and whether to brush oil to ensure that the non-stick pan is fried until golden and crispy on both sides.

"you you--"

Li Guanlan withdrew his hand from the teacup: "Li Wei, aren't you hungry? Go and eat. Children, you can't be hungry."

Li Wei smiled gracefully, put away his supernatural powers and stopped cursing: "Okay. Come over to eat as soon as possible, and wait for you."

Seeing Li Wei walk away leisurely, Uncle Mantang looked at their patriarch in disbelief, and asked him, "You just let him scold him and leave?"

"He scolded someone? Why didn't I know?" Li Guanlan sat there motionless and glanced at the audience, "But I think what he said is right. Is there any sentence that is not true?"

The audience suddenly fell silent, everyone looked at him, but no one made a sound.

"It's just like what he said. Since you are an outsider, it's better not to enter the ancestral hall casually." Li Guanlan looked at the person who was angered by Li Wei just now, and his voice was gentle but no one dared to question, "My son can't be left at home by an outsider. Advice and discuss, you don’t come here again.”

Everyone couldn't believe it, that person's face turned pale instantly, and he couldn't believe that he was expelled from the clan so suddenly.Isn't this person incompetent?Don't you want to meddle in family affairs at all?Everyone's eyes widened, and they saw the patriarch who they thought was easy to bully because he was not doing his job properly, picked up the teacup and drank the last sip of tea, and the momentum made everyone unable to lift their heads.

……

No one knows what happened in the lobby.An hour later, Xue Qingning and Li Xiang finished playing cards and put away the table. Not long after, the dining table in the small hall was filled with Huaiyang dishes.

Xue Qingning sniffed it, her eyes straightened a little.

Li Xiang touched his head, smiled and said, "Eat first if you're hungry, you don't have to wait."

Xue Qingning shook her head, sat down obediently, propped her head up and stared at the dish without speaking, without blinking her eyes, almost eye to eye with the fish head.That look almost made Li Xiang hold back his laughter until he was almost hurt internally.

Huaiyang Cuisine is one of the four traditional Chinese cuisines, developed in Yangzhou and Huai'an, and the raw materials are mostly aquatic seafood.The dishes include Pingqiao tofu soup, boiled dried shredded fish, squirrel mandarin fish, stewed lion's head, a plate of Xi Shi with pearls, and a plate of mushrooms and rapeseed.The staple food is Huangqiao biscuits.

Li's father didn't come, and Li's mother looked outside without moving her chopsticks.Li Wei glanced at the dishes, and said, "Isn't this Huaiyang cuisine chef invited to cook a family banquet? Don't cook it for others?"

"Heh. Good idea." Li Xiang sneered, "That old gentleman is a national first-class cultural heritage applicant. Do you think you can get it if you have money? This is because of your father's face, a professor of history and archaeology. Yes. It is specially made for you and Xiaoxue, and no one else can eat it."

It took a while for Li Guanlan to finally come over. He changed into a light gray ancient gown. He was tall and steady at 1.9 meters, and his figure was not broken at all. He looked only in his thirties.He was stunned when he saw a table of untouched dishes in the small hall: "Why don't you eat first? Why are you waiting for me?"

"We will definitely wait." Li Xiang replied, took a bowl and gave him a bowl of tofu soup.

Li Guanlan lowered his eyebrows and smiled pleasingly. The moment he lowered his eyes and lowered his head, the brow bone and even the bridge of the nose were almost the same as Li Wei.Father Li said comfortably, "Thank you, wife."

He raised his head again and said to Xue Qingning: "I'm sorry, Xiao Xue. I wanted to treat you to something delicious, but I kept you waiting."

Xue Qingning didn't expect that he would apologize to herself, and quickly shook her head in panic, expressing that she was fine.

At this time, the family really sat down to eat. Halfway through the meal, the atmosphere was good, and they chatted comfortably with each other.

Li Guanlan asked Xue Qingning: "Is it delicious?"

Xue Qingning nodded with a ball in her mouth, "It's delicious."

The taste of Huaiyang cuisine is fresh and mild, with moderate saltiness and sweetness.The old gentleman's craftsmanship is very authentic and consummate, which cannot be tasted in restaurants outside.Li Guanlan asked expectantly: "How does that compare to what I did?"

As for men, they have a strong desire to win and lose, and they just like to compare.

Xue Qingning was stunned for a moment, puffed up like a hamster and lost expression: "..." I don't know how to say it.

Li Xiang sighed and answered for him: "Does it need to be said? Compared with this old man who applied for intangible cultural heritage, your craftsmanship is just a little bit worse."

Li Guanlan was elated, and humbly asked for advice: "May I ask what is the difference?"

"One word is missing." Li Xiang's elegant smile was quite annoying, "The dishes made by others can be listed in "A Bite of China", and your dishes can be listed in "Stroke on the Tip of the Tongue"."

Li Guanlan: "..."

Li Wei couldn't hold back, shaking his shoulders and laughing.The family talked about everything during meals, without airs or concerns.We talked about each other's recent careers and work, and also talked about an ancient tomb where Li Wei's father was going to do scientific research recently.

Li Xiang ate a big boiled dried silk with chopsticks, and asked while eating: "So, why do you have to deliberately come back this year's Tomb-sweeping Festival?"

Li Guanlan lowered his head to eat, and after swallowing, he said: "I'm ashamed. My father once hoped that I would be a leader in the market. I didn't live the way he expected me to be. I don't feel guilty that I didn't do that, I just feel sad Yu Zeng disappointed his father."

After Li Wei heard it, he remembered the "Dancing Crane Picture" hanging in his room, and suddenly stopped chopsticks.His expression can be regarded as a bit complicated, even a little guilty and sad.Ask his father softly: "Then have you ever been disappointed in me?"

Xue Qingning gave him a suspicious look.Li Guanlan was also stunned for a second, feeling his emotions with a very high EQ, and instantly thought of some things, from the priceless painting that he specially hung in his room to the thing he said: "No, never Never had."

Li Guanlan put down his chopsticks lightly, and the next tone was patient and gentle, as if he had been a father for ten years and he checked people's hearts, "The reason I hung that painting in your room is that I hope you see this Be able to do everything freely in this life, and have the strength of character like a crane. You are what I most expect you to be now. There is a person you like, doing what you like to do. You are worthy of others and even more worthy of yourself. This is already very Well, everything else in the mundane world is not important."

Xue Qingning keenly sensed that Li Wei's mood had changed, but he didn't ask anything, and just put the fish he had picked into his bowl.

Li Wei looked at the fish in a daze, and some warmth surged in his heart, dispelling his uncomfortable and depressed heart.

"I see." Li Wei picked up his chopsticks again and continued to eat. After finishing the piece of fish, he put a piece of shiitake mushroom in his father's bowl.Li Guanlan didn't even look at it, so he threw the mushrooms to Li Xiang.Li Xiang ate it with one bite, with a satisfied expression on his face.
