Chapter 529: Showdown with Jinghe
For the evening barbecue, Shen Nianan and Gu Qingyue’s family came over early, and they also pulled two small carts usually used to buy food, and put the barbecue on the side. Ingredients, put fruit snacks on the side.
Wang Keng arrived at about the same time as them, riding a small battery. The trunk was removed and replaced with a plastic basket, which was filled to the brim. He was invited by Xu Qingsong because both Youyou and Jinghe said they wanted to eat the barbecue made by uncle "Dakeng". Since the serialization of the novel began, he has been staying at home. He felt it was time to come out and have some fun, and he happened to have some questions related to game production that he wanted to ask Xu Qingsong for advice.
When Liu Wangxue, Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai came back with Chacha and the three little ones, it was getting late. Because Chacha met Xiaotao and Haohao on the road, the three good friends stood together and chatted. After a few words, Chacha got Liu Wangxue's permission and invited them to have a barbecue together, but it was almost dinner time at home, so they didn't come together.
Li Yu, Jin Zhaofei, Richard, Gu Zicheng, Zheng Zhou and others came together. If there is excitement, Jin Zhaofei will definitely join in when the work is completed, so it's just one, two, and three. Some of the other colleagues had to work overtime, and some were worried that there were too many people and Liu Wangxue couldn't sit here, so they didn't join them.
Tao Huayu was unable to return to the company today. When he went to deliver food to Tao Huaxin at noon, he brought his computer with him and the work was handled online. I came back before evening, first delivered drinks to Liu Wangxue, and then sent the dinner cooked by Tao Dad to the hospital before coming over.
Gu Xuelan had already learned about what happened in the morning from Liu Nanshan, and called Tao’s mother in the hospital. After meeting Tao Huayu, she asked a few questions and learned that Tao Huaxin’s There were no more symptoms in the afternoon, and I felt that everything was fine, so I felt relieved and thought about waiting for someone to come back tomorrow to have a look.
Tao Huaxin didn't go to the studio all day today. His colleagues were worried after hearing what Du Yunkai said after he arrived. Li Yu called Tao Huayu at that time to ask if he needed anything. Now that the helper had met, he, Jin Zhaofei and the others asked a few more concerned questions, praying in their hearts that Tao Huaxin would come back safely tomorrow.
Tao Huayu first gave Jin Zhaofei and others who are addicted to coffee a shot: "You will probably have to make coffee by yourself tomorrow, and my brother-in-law will definitely have to let my sister rest at home for an extra day. ”
Morning Tao Huaxin didn't leave at that time, so he sent a message back to Jin Zhaofei, jokingly asking them to do it themselves to provide enough food and clothing. No one expected that they would have to do it themselves all day long, not only to solve the coffee problem, but also to solve the coffee problem themselves. Even the desserts are gone.
Li Yu doesn't like drinking coffee. He doesn't like the taste of coffee, and coffee doesn't have any refreshing effect on him. If he feels sleepy after drinking it, it's better to have a cup of green tea to wake him up. However, he likes other "non-sweet" drinks and desserts! Without these, I always feel like the day was not going well.
However, Tao Huaxin is a pregnant woman after all, and nothing is trivial. She should have a good rest at home, so everyone asked Tao Huayu: "Will my brother-in-law's bakery be able to operate normally tomorrow? There is nothing we can do about it." You can have enough food and clothing by yourself."
Tao Huayu smiled and guaranteed for his brother-in-law: "Yes, I can definitely do it!"
The ingredients are ready and waiting for them to come back. I didn’t go up to the roof this time because the yard is so big that so many people can stand apart. In addition, the temperature is a bit low at night in winter, and there is a bit of wind. The roof is relatively cold, and the roasted meat may become cold just after leaving the grill. Cool down. So we grilled it in the yard. If adults and children thought it was cold outside, they could take it to the kitchen or living room to eat. They could sit wherever they felt comfortable. When it got cold, they could immediately heat it up in the microwave.
When lighting the barbecue, Youyou pulled Jinghe and Chacha over to watch. He was not tall enough to see them, so he let Jinghe hold him. Chacha couldn't see him either. He was very tired from tiptoeing, so he turned around to look for Du Yunkai. However, this uncle didn't know where he went, and he was nowhere to be seen in the yard.
Richard happened to be nearby, so he asked Chacha: "Would you like a hug?"
Chacha raised her arm towards Richard and said "thank you".
Richard is happy, Chacha is his little nephew - although it has not been finalized yet, he is already very convinced, so he will naturally get close to Chacha whenever he gets the chance.
During the process of lighting the charcoal, Youyou was giving Chacha "popular science": "The meat grilled by Uncle Dakeng is delicious, very fragrant." After saying this, Chacha was afraid that she would not believe it, so she still Asking Jinghe to prove it for him: "That's right, brother."
Jinghe nodded with certainty: "Yes, it's delicious."
Chacha started looking forward to it.
After the charcoal was lit, Youyou called Uncle "Dakeng", and Wang Keng came over with a handful of marinated meat skewers without pepper, and said to the three children: "Wait a minute." , watch Uncle Dakeng show off his skills for you!"
Shen Nian'an was chatting with Xu Qingsong and others. After hearing this, he said to Wang Keng: "These two kids! I have been thinking about your barbecue for a whole semester."
Wang Keng was suddenly filled with pride and satisfaction, and laughed: "Okay, I will make sure you eat well today!"
Looking at Wang Keng's posture, Liu Nanshan knew that he had a lot of skills. When he heard it again, he felt itchy and asked Wang Keng if he wanted to learn from each other.
Liu Wangxue and Gu Qingyue passed by with fruits. When they heard this, they whispered to Liu Nanshan: "Youyou and Jinghe love to eat meat. As long as it tastes like meat when grilled, they both find it delicious."
Liu Wangxue added: "The last time Tao Huayu lost to Brother Wang, it was because there were vegetables in the kebabs."
< br>Tao Huayu was standing aside and immediately defended himself: "Brother Wang won with no force."
Wang Keng said: "Then let's give you a chance and let's compete again?"
"Let's compete." Tao Huayu rolled up his sleeves, took some meat skewers, put them on the rack and started grilling them.
As you can imagine, the children all said it was delicious and couldn't tell the winner at all.
Not long after everyone took the grilled skewers and started eating, six small bean sprouts suddenly appeared at the door of the courtyard. It turned out to be Xiaotao and Haohao. They came to call Chacha to go to the threshing floor with them. Before they came, they went to Youyou's house. They found that Youyou and Jinghe were not there. The courtyard door of their house was locked. It turned out that they were here to have barbecue. .
Xiao Tao ran over first and asked: "Chacha, Youyou, brother Youyou, why haven't you finished eating yet?"
Haohao followed and asked: "We are going Are you going to play in the threshing floor?"
Youyou took a bite of the oily roasted pork belly and said, "My brother and I, and Chacha, we want to eat."
The adults called the other four children at the door to come in. Each person was given two skewers of freshly grilled skewers. Liu Wangxue said, "Let's eat barbecue at my house first, and then go play together after eating, okay?"
The children took the skewers, said "thank you", and then said "ok" in unison.
Seven or eight children gathered together, making the yard even more lively. Liu Wangxue and the others not only ate themselves, but also took care of the children. It was unlikely to go to the threshing floor. After the children had almost eaten, she took out the toy cars and other gadgets and let them play in the yard, accompanied by three little dogs.
Li Yu brought over a plate of fruit with toothpicks stuck in it and handed it to Liu Wangxue. Liu Wangxue picked up two pieces and handed one to Xu Qingsong beside him. Then he watched the little children playing with their big friend Jinghe. Under the leadership of the teacher, she replayed the fairy tale she made up during the photo shoot that day, with a smile on her face unconsciously.
Li Yu suddenly sighed: "Brother Huayu's position will be taken away by Jinghe."
"Huh?" Liu Wangxue asked, "What status?"
Xu Qingsong answered: "The status of the king of children."
Li Yu praised him: "Brother Qingsong, correct answer !"
Liu Wangxue smiled: "Does Comrade Hua Yu care about this status?"
Tao Huayu came over and distributed it to them: "What do you care about?"
Liu Wangxue repeated it.
Tao Huayu put all the rest into Xu Qingsong's hands: "Of course I care! Wait, I'm going to have a showdown with Jinghe!" After saying that, he went over to join this non-physical performance. drama, and likes to mention the role of the "big devil" - the kind who is finally defeated and defeated miserably.
The three of them laughed together. Li Yu felt that he was the "big devil" because he remembered something and said with a wicked smile: "The children won't be happy for long, school is about to start hahahaha... …”
Seeing that he had finished eating, Xu Qingsong took the fruit from his hand Come, give him the remaining skewers, and the words he says are ruthless: "Come, eat more, don't forget, you are also a student."
Li Yu's laughter stopped suddenly, but his joy returned instantly. : "Hey, it's the beginning of school, but I don't have to go to school anymore hahaha..."
Liu Wangxue laughed along with him, and then became even more ruthless: "Although, you have seamlessly transitioned into a working life with only weekends - Oh, and also, you have already got an offer, and you will study abroad in the second half of the year, and you may even spend weekends after that. It's all a luxury." Li Yu's laughter stopped abruptly again.
Xu Qingsong was also smiling and touched Li Yu's head as a comfort. Although they were now colleagues, Xu Qingsong still regarded Li Yu as a child. Then another blow: "I asked a friend a few days ago. It is said that it is not easy for graduate students at Saint Ishmael University to graduate. Especially your major, which is the top difficulty level in the entire country Y. In the next two years, you You have to be strong."
Li Yu suddenly made a bitter look on his face: "Teacher Zhou said the same. "I never mentioned it before, I only told him after he got the offer.
Liu Wangxue comforted Li Yu: "Don't be afraid, our little fish is just a koi carp, and we are so strong and capable, any difficulty will be solved easily."
Li Yu took a bite of the skewers and said, "Thank you, Sister Xu Xu, I was not comforted."
Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong finished the remaining two pieces of fruit on the plate and laughed together.
When Li Yu and Wen Xi were preparing for Porcelain’s spring and summer show in Country Y, Wen Xi took Li Yu to several good universities for field trips on their days off. Finally, Li Yu chose Zhou, his graduation project mentor. Professor's alma mater, University of Saint Ishmael.
This university was originally a church, and later changed to a church school. Now it has become a private university after several rounds of expansion. The name of the university is the name of the original church, and the church was named after the designer and donor. It has never been changed, just to commemorate this person.
Saint Ishmael University is located in the capital of Country Y. The university’s overall ranking in Country Y is not high, but its landscape architecture major is second to none in Country Y.
After returning to China and before the winter vacation, Li Yu, in addition to working on his graduation project, was preparing application materials. After Professor Zhou learned that he planned to apply to Saint Ishmael University, he was very happy and wrote him a letter of recommendation. In addition, before he returned from country Y, Joshua also wrote him a letter of recommendation.
To be on the safe side, Li Yu also applied for two more universities as a guarantee. He applied relatively late, almost submitting the materials before the deadline for the application channel to close, and then it was Christmas. During this period, due to the large number of student applications accumulated by the institution in the early stage, the processing speed will be relatively slow.
Two students at the same level and major as Li Yu also applied to study in country Y, but they were not in the same university or in the same region as Li Yu. Like Li Yu, the two of them were stuck on the deadline to submit materials, but one of them received an offer after New Year's Day. Li Yu was anxious for a while after learning about it. He was worried that his application would fail.
In fact, he didn’t have to worry at all. Porcelain’s spring and summer show was a sensation in the entire fashion industry in Europe. The media coverage lasted for nearly half a month. Who didn’t sigh with emotion when watching the show? The show layout is exquisite. After the video was posted online, teachers from some universities even took the garden design of the show into class as a case study. Everyone noticed one name invariably, the special designer of the show, Li Yu.
In the interview after the show, Joshua specially called Li Yu to his side and affectionately called him "the little koi from country Z". He also said to the camera: "There is a legend in their country. Called 'Carp Leaping over the Dragon Gate', I believe his future will be brighter than now."
After the show, Li Yu went out to play with Wenxi, and even went to Zerlina's hometown. He himself had not registered a foreign social media account, and had no real sense of the "rising fame" Wenxi said, even though Wenxi had already He comforted him by saying, "Putting aside all the trophies, certificates and all your previous works you have submitted, just because of your name as the special designer of Porcelain's spring and summer show, all those schools will be vying for you", which did not eliminate him. The tension in my heart.
It wasn’t until the end of the Spring Festival holiday in the studio that he received an offer from Saint Ishmael University, and his heart became lively again.
At that time, he and his father, Lao Li, were both in his hometown. After Lao Li heard the news, he was even happier than Li Yu. He immediately organized a banquet to bring all relatives and friends at home, as well as Li Yu’s These friends and his teacher were invited over.
But this matter was denied by Li Yu’s grandmother. The old man was more worried. When he heard that the start of school would have to wait until September in the second half of the year, and his children had not graduated from college yet, he felt that there was no need to publicize the matter so early. What if something happened in the meantime?
The old man was also happy in her heart, and she still wanted to tell the world about her joy, but she couldn't, because she heard that Li Yu's mother was having a bad life now, and she was afraid that the woman would hear about it. Later, when he sees that his son is promising, if he comes back to make trouble, wouldn't that affect the child's future?
However, this kind of thing and the speculation must be rotten in her stomach. She refused to say it and made an excuse: "Xi must do it, but definitely not now. If she wants to do it, she has to wait until everything about the child is settled." Let’s wait until Xiaoyu graduates from college and get what he needs. What kind of visa did you sign? We are going to go abroad. Let’s write a decent invitation and invite everyone over.”
Lao Li felt that what mom said made sense, so he put the matter aside for now. , Li Yu didn’t tell anyone about getting the notice.
As for Li Yu, this kid can't hold it in anymore, so he gets along without others telling him, but Professor Zhou, who has high hopes for him, must tell him, as well as Sister Wenxi, Sister Xu Xu, Brother Huayu, Brother Qingsong, and Du The bosses are people who usually care about him and give him so much help.
After Liu Wangxue and the others found out, they also said that they would hold a celebration party for Li Yu, but Li Yu kept in mind what his grandma said and did not agree. And everyone had their own things to be busy those days, so Just respect the decision of the person involved and make an appointment to hold the party before he goes abroad.
The barbecue was not over until after eight o'clock. The children were tired from playing in the yard. They were led by Liu Wangxue and others, and they went to the living room with the three little ones to sit on the sofa and watch cartoons. piece. In the kitchen, Yuan Lianyun and Gu Xuemei cooked some fermented eggs, and Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong went over to serve each of the children a bowl.
Liu Wangxue and others sat aside to accompany them, thinking of their "Lantern Battle". She didn't go to the threshing floor last night and didn't know who won, so she asked.
Xiao Tao said: "Of course we won!"
Haohao said: "You lied, Yueyue and the others didn't go to the threshing floor, so we didn't compete."< br>
Liu Wangxue thought about it, probably because there were lantern viewing in the street park and the Wutong Avenue Night Market in town last night, and the children were taken by their parents to play, but she didn’t meet these children in the town. baby. Also, they left not too early and came back too late. Xiao Tao and the others were taken by their grandparents, probably because they left early and came back early.
Then I heard Xiaopang say: "We competed. After we came back from the town, we went to the threshing floor."
Youyou said: "Ah, I didn't go!"
Chacha also suddenly remembered: "I didn't go either!"
Jinghe reminded them: "Youyou, after watching the lanterns Just fell asleep, Chacha, you fell asleep on the way home.”
The expressions on Yuyou and Chacha’s faces suddenly became extremely regretful.
Leilei said: "It's not a comparison, because Yueyue and the others didn't go to the threshing floor."
Fengfeng nodded along with his sister: "It doesn't count."
Yaya also felt that it didn't count.
Xiao Tao continued: "We agreed to go to the competition, but if they didn't go, it means they were afraid. If they didn't go, it meant they gave up on their own initiative, so we won."
Tao Huayu "Yo" said: "This logic is no problem!"
Xiao Tao was even more proud: "Look, Uncle Hua Yu thinks I am right!"
Haohao was helpless: "Okay."
Then the children's attention was attracted by the cartoon.
After eating the fermented rice eggs, Xiao Tao, Haohao and several other family members came to look for them, so they went home with the adults. Before leaving, they made an appointment to play together tomorrow.
There were a lot of people, and almost all the prepared ingredients were eaten. Everyone picked up their bowls and ate some fermented fermented eggs. The bowls at Liu Wangxue’s house were not enough, so it was better to go to Xu Qingsong’s place to make his own I brought it over and added a few more disposable cups to complete it.
After eating, everyone helped clean up the kitchen, yard and living room. There was no need to wash the dishes and chopsticks, just put them in the dishwasher in batches. Jin Zhaofei and the others returned to the studio with bags of garbage. Then I just took it out and threw it away.
Little Youzi was held by Shen Nian'an. Before she could get out of the hospital, she tilted her head on his shoulder and fell asleep.
Gu Qingyue raised her hand and put her hat on Youyou to protect you from the wind: "What a little piggy, you can eat and sleep well."
Jinghe saw that his brother was sleeping so cutely, he couldn't bear to She couldn't help but stretched out a finger and poked his face gently: "He can still run and jump. He is a healthy and cute little pig."
Shen Nianan said with a smile: "That's what I said. Then what has become of our family?”
The child’s grandparents also laughed: “There’s nothing wrong, we are all a family after all!”
