"Xiao Le, go call someone to eat." Li's mother said to Li Le, who was sitting on a chair in the restaurant.
"Okay."
This Li Le is willing to do it! To be honest, he was a little hungry now.
Attended Cheng Fei's wedding at noon. Although the food was good, Li Le didn't eat much.
There's no way around it. There's a whole table full of elders. Whatever you ask them to do, they can't just sit there and eat all the time!
That was too impolite. He could only watch others eat while he took a few bites.
Li Le came to the living room and shouted: "Grandpa, grandma, dad, Uncle Cheng, it's time to start dinner."
"Coming."
"Come on, brother, let's go eat." Dad Li said.
"good."
After speaking, Dad Cheng stood up and prepared to help the old man.
The old man said quickly: "No need."
Li Le's grandparents are in good health. Although they are in their seventies, their bodies look similar to those in their sixties.
Although my grandparents are from rural areas, they have never done much in their lives and went to big cities when they were young.
And it's not just a part-time job. I run a small business in a big city. Although I haven't made a lot of money, I still make small amounts of money.
So although they are in their seventies, they look much younger than their actual age.
In addition, I pay attention to health care and exercise every day.
Of course, the most important thing is to have a good attitude and have a family full of children and grandchildren who are all filial.
Soon everyone sat down. Today, because Cheng’s parents and Cheng’s parents were there, there were more people.
First, the old man said a few words, and then gave the right to speak to Father Li.
Dad Li picked up a glass of wine, stood up and said, "First of all, I am here to welcome brother Cheng and sister-in-law to our home.
To be honest, our whole family is very happy that you can come, and we are even very happy, so I would like to propose a toast to both of you. "
Hearing what Dad Li said, Dad Cheng and Mom Cheng quickly picked up the cup and stood up.
Dad Cheng said: "It's over. We came here uninvited. We should have punished ourselves with a glass of wine, but since my brother said so, I drank this glass of wine."
Cheng’s mother: “Yes, let’s touch one!”
"Add me one." Li Ma also stood up with a glass of wine and said.
There is no one in the Li family who doesn't drink. Although Li's mother doesn't drink much, she basically drinks some every day.
Cheng's mother doesn't drink much, or even basically doesn't drink, but she plans to drink today.
The four of them touched each other and drank the wine. The rest was relatively simple.
First, the junior generation toasts. Of course, this junior generation starts from Cheng’s father and Cheng’s mother. To the old man and the old lady, they are indeed the juniors.
The meal lasted for an hour and a half. Everyone was happy not only eating but also drinking.
After eating, Li Ma and the others cleaned up the dining table and kitchen, while Li Le took Cheng's father and Cheng's mother to the second floor.
Li Le opened the door of a room and said, "Uncle and aunt, you can stay in this room!"
There are many rooms on the second floor, nine rooms in total. Not only that, each room is particularly large.
Although it cannot be compared with Li Le's room on the third floor, it is still 40 to 50 square meters.
There is no way, this house occupies a large area! More than 600 square meters.
Even if one room is 40 to 50 square meters, nine rooms are only over 400 square meters.
Calculated this way, there are still more than 200 square meters on the second floor, but the living room is from top to bottom, so it takes up some area.
There are also stairs and corridors.
"This room is huge!" Dad Cheng said.
"Yes, uncle, the room is about forty or fifty square meters! There is a dry and wet bathroom, a bathtub and a shower room."
Of course, this room also has a dressing room.
Li Le, Cheng's father and Cheng's mother's luggage, also took it and put it in the cloakroom.
When Cheng's parents and Cheng's mothers go out, they must bring a change of clothes and, of course, toiletries.
Although it is said to be ready here, some people still prefer to bring their own.
Because it may be a habit. Li Le has this habit without telling others.
"Xiao Le, thank you."
"Auntie, you are so polite. I don't do this when I come to your house."
"Uh! Okay, I get it."
"By the way, uncle and aunt, I plan to let you stay and celebrate the New Year with us."
"Ah! Xiaole, this can't be done. It's the Chinese New Year and you and your family are all here. What's going on if we stay here?"
"Uncle, I don't like hearing what you are saying. Keeping you here for the New Year means that I don't treat you as outsiders. Why are you so polite?"
Hearing what Li Le said, Cheng's father smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Le, I'm not being polite, I just feel it's inconvenient."
"What's the inconvenience? It's not inconvenient for me when I go to your house. It's the same when you and your aunt are here."
"Also, Brother Fei is going to celebrate the New Year at his father-in-law's house this year. There are only two of you going back. If that's the case, why don't you stay? The Chinese New Year will be lively with so many people."
Hearing what Li Le said, to be honest, Cheng's parents and Cheng's mother were very moved, because just like Li Le said, they were only two people back in the imperial capital to celebrate the New Year.
In that case, it would be very deserted, and there would even be no New Year atmosphere.
If you stay and celebrate the New Year with Li Le's family, to be honest, it will be really lively because Li Le's family has too many people.
"Xiao Le, let's do this. I'll discuss it with your aunt and get back to you tomorrow morning."
"Okay, in that case, you and Auntie should wash up and rest first."
"good."
Li Le's home has central air conditioning, and the entire villa is extremely warm no matter where it is.
There was no problem at all when I washed and showered. I even said that I didn’t feel cold even when I was wearing pajamas.
When Li Le came downstairs, everyone was already sitting and chatting in the living room.
"Xiao Le, has Uncle Cheng made arrangements?" Dad Li asked.
"Um!"
Li Le originally thought that Cheng's father and Cheng's mother would come downstairs after taking a bath, but he did not expect that they did not come down.
Needless to say, it must be because I haven't had a good rest these past few days, or maybe I'm too tired.
Until after nine o'clock, Li Le also went upstairs to rest.
As for Li Qingcheng and Nie Weiwei, of course they didn't come to accompany Li Le.
It wasn't that Li Le didn't want them to accompany him, but it was occupied by Ye Qi and Li Xin, so Li Le could only guard the empty room alone.
The next morning, Li Le got up very early and prepared to go outside to exercise.
But as soon as he opened the door of the villa, a cold feeling hit him.
Only then did Li Le realize that it had been freezing rain at some point during the night, also called freezing rain.
Both the ground and the branches were covered with ice, especially the trees, which were completely white.
If it weren't for the ice on the ground, many people would probably think it was snowing.
Although Li Le and his friends are here at the junction of north and south, winter is not particularly cold, with the coldest temperature reaching minus ten degrees Celsius.
But there is an exception when it is cold, because every time it is cold, it will be at least ten degrees below zero.
"Hey, it's so cold today!" The old man also came out of the villa at this time.
The old man now exercises every morning and gets up earlier.
"Grandpa, it's raining today, otherwise I wouldn't have exercised today."
"That's okay. Besides, I'm just exercising because it's cold, so I won't be cold after a while." "But grandpa, the road is icy. Don't fall."
The old man glanced at the ground and said, "Really, let's do it! I won't be exercising outside today. I will go upstairs to exercise."
The upstairs the old man mentioned was of course the third floor where Li Le lived.
Except for Li Le's bedroom, the rest of the third floor can basically be used for exercise.
Except, of course, the video room.
"Okay grandpa, you can take the elevator up."
"Whether you take the elevator or take the stairs, it's also a form of exercise."
"Uh!" Li Le was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay!"
The old man went in again, and Li Le was the only one left outside.
The cold weather would be uncomfortable for others, but for Li Le, it was nothing at all.
The ice on the ground was not very thick, only about half a centimeter, which meant that the cold was not heavy.
Li Le encountered it. It was so cold that there was more than ten centimeters of ice on the ground. Many trees could not bear the weight and fell down.
Not to mention the branches, they are basically broken. Where there are trees, there are many broken branches on the ground.
Li Le returned to the villa, pressed on the wall next to the door of the villa, and opened the door outside.
Then he walked out of the villa and ran outside.
First run out of the island in the middle of the lake, and then start running along the road.
Although there was ice on the road, it had no impact on Li Le.
Soon Li Le ran to the national highway and then ran along the village.
More than an hour later, Li Le returned to the villa and ran around the village countless times.
"Where did you go so early in the morning? Go wash up and eat quickly."
As soon as Li Le entered the villa, he met his sister Li Xin.
"I went for a run, has dinner been served?"
Hearing what Li Le said, Li Xin gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "I'll wait for you alone."
"Okay! I'm going to wash up right now."
Li Xin said it was a bit exaggerated to say that she would wait for him alone, because if the meal was really served, she would definitely not wait for him.
At most, everyone should eat first and leave some for him. How could we really wait for him?
The reason why Li Xin said this was because dinner was about to begin, and the whole family had already gotten up and was waiting for dinner.
Li Le climbed up to the third floor, went to the bathroom to wash up quickly, and then went downstairs.
By this time, breakfast had been served on the table, including fragrant steamed buns and soybean porridge.
It's actually noodle porridge with soybeans in it. To be honest, this kind of porridge tastes really good.
Li Le didn't know what it was called elsewhere, but here they called it soybean porridge.
"Good morning, Uncle Cheng!"
"Good morning, aunt!"
"morning!"
Breakfast is relatively simple, with nothing but steamed buns and soy porridge.
Of course, there are still side dishes, such as pickles.
After the old man and the old lady sat down, Li Le and the others sat down. They also waited for the old man to eat first, and then Li Le and the others ate.
Not to mention, today’s steamed buns are really good, with not one kind of filling, including cabbage and tofu filling, pork and green onion filling, and beef filling.
Li Le's family all like to eat spicy food, so no matter what kind of filling, a lot of chili oil is put in it, which makes it taste better.
Anyone who likes spicy food knows that the spicier it is, the more you want to eat it.
Even Cheng’s father and Cheng’s mother ate several. They probably have never eaten so much.
Not only that, everyone also drank a big bowl of soy porridge.
After eating, everyone went to the living room to chat.
Dad Cheng called Li Le aside and asked, "Xiao Le, do your parents know that you asked me and your aunt to stay for the New Year?"
"Uncle Cheng, of course my parents know what you are asking! And they welcome you and aunt to stay."
Hearing what Li Le said, Cheng's father said, "In that case, your aunt and I will stay."
"That's great."
Dad Cheng has already thought about it. Instead of returning to the imperial capital to celebrate the New Year in silence, it would be better to stay.
Because Li Le's family is so lively, they have never had such a lively New Year.
Grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts have already agreed to stay for the New Year. "Li Le ran to the living room and shouted.
"Really?" Li Ma asked.
"It's true. We discussed it and decided to stay for the New Year. There are so many people here." Cheng Ma said.
Mother Li: "That's great."
"By the way, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll prepare it in advance."
"No, just daily meals will be fine." Cheng Ma said quickly.
"Sister-in-law, do you have sesame leaves?" Dad Cheng asked at this time.
"Do you want to eat sesame leaf bean noodles?"
"Yes, yes, if not, forget it." Dad Cheng said quickly.
"Don't tell me, there really is this. The old man likes to eat this, so he still has a lot of it at home."
If it was a Chinese New Year item, you would definitely not be able to find it in someone else’s house, because even if it were there, it would probably have been eaten by this time.
But Li Le's family is different, because the old man likes to eat, let alone eat it every day! I eat it every once in a while.
So Li Lejia gets a lot of sesame leaves every year.
Sesame leaf and bean noodles, since sesame leaves are also included, bean noodles must also be included.
This is not the kind of bean noodles sold outside. The kind of bean noodles sold outside would be good if it has one tenth of the bean noodles.
As for Li Lejia, this is pure bean noodles.
The bean noodles are delicious when eaten, especially if you add more sesame leaves, it will be even more delicious.
Anyway, Li Le likes to eat.
"Let's do this. I'll make some for lunch, and whoever of you likes it can eat it."
"So you also like to eat sesame leaf and bean noodles?" The old man looked at Dad Cheng and asked.
"Yes, old man, I ate at a restaurant in the Imperial Capital once before and thought it was very delicious."
The old man nodded and said, "It's indeed delicious, but not many people in this family like to eat it."
When the old man said this, the first thing he felt was that Dad Li's expression was unnatural, and he couldn't help it because he didn't like to eat.
Not only Father Li, but also the old lady doesn’t like to eat it.
Counting the old man, there are only three people in this family, including Li Ma and Li Le.
"Mom, I'll go to town later."
Li's mother turned to look at Li Le and asked, "It's this time, why are you still going to town?"
Today is twenty-seven, according to the lunar calendar, and the New Year will be celebrated in three days. Everything that should be bought at home has been bought.
"I'm going to buy some firecrackers. How can the Chinese New Year be lively without firecrackers?" Li Le said, scratching his head.
"Your dad has bought the firecrackers a long time ago." (End of Chapter)
