Chapter 500 The handle (two chapters in one)
"Uh..." The smile on Lin Li's face, who was teasing Su Yue, suddenly froze, because he saw Su Yue looking at him with squinted eyes. There was a hint of murderous intent on his body.
"Cough cough cough..." Lin Li pretended to cough a few times and changed the subject, "Have you changed the battery of this clock since you bought it?"
Su Yue met Lin Li She took the initiative to change the topic and stopped making fun of herself. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly. Then he said, "No! I haven't replaced the battery since I bought it."
"It's been several years since you bought it and you haven't replaced the battery. Then I guess the time of this clock is wrong now. It may have something to do with the fact that the battery is running out of power," Lin Li speculated.
"Yes! It should be like this..." Su Yue thought Lin Li's analysis was very reasonable.
She felt that the quality of the clock she had spent hundreds of dollars on was of acceptable quality. If something went wrong, it must be the battery.
"Do you have extra batteries at home?" Lin Li asked.
“Yes!”
“Go and find the battery. I will take off the clock and replace the battery.”
"Yeah." Su Yue nodded, then stood up and walked to the study. She remembered that the batteries she bought before were placed in the drawer of the study.
Lin Li went to the kitchen and moved a chair into the living room. When passing by the study, he saw Su Yue rummaging for batteries in the drawer.
"It's strange. I remember that the battery I bought before was placed in this drawer. Why is it missing?" Su Yue, who was looking for batteries in the drawer, muttered to herself.
"If you can't find the battery, I'll go out and buy it later." Lin Li said.
"I remember clearly that there is a row of batteries in the drawer, I can definitely find them..." Su Yue replied.
"Okay! Then you look for it slowly." Lin Li shook his head and walked into the living room.
Stepping on the chair, he took down the clock hanging on the wall.
There was a lot of dust on the clock. After Lin Li took off the clock, he took it to the balcony and found a rag to wipe it with.
“Click.”
Opening the back cover of the clock, Lin Li pulled out the two batteries.
Back in the living room, Su Yue happened to walk out of the study.
"Look! I just said I can find it."
Tsk, looking at you so happy, people who don't know would think you found some gold and silver jewelry... Lin Li looked at it Su Yue, who was smiling, complained secretly in her heart, and then he took the battery from the other party's hand.
On the sofa, Lin Li unpacked a row of batteries in his hand, took out two brand-new batteries and installed them on the clock.
Su Yue, who was sitting next to Lin Li, leaned sideways, next to Lin Li. All her attention fell on the simple clock she bought.
I spent hundreds of dollars to buy this clock because I like its style.
For Su Yue, a few hundred dollars more was nothing, but Lin Li said that she was taken advantage of and spent these hundreds of dollars in vain, which was a bit unacceptable to Su Yue.
"You must not break it! Otherwise Lin Li will make fun of me about this in the future." Su Yue muttered softly.
At this time, because of this incident, her heartbeat accelerated slightly and she felt a little nervous.
The weak and boneless body gently relies on itself, and the fragrance like orchid and musk lingers on the tip of the nose. People who are not strong-willed will definitely be intoxicated and unable to recover for a long time.
"Cough cough cough..." Lin Li, who was under tremendous pressure, quickly recited the heart-clearing mantra in his heart, and then coughed a few times to draw Su Yue's attention away from the clock.
"Why are you coughing again? Is your throat uncomfortable?" Su Yue asked with concern.
"Fortunately, please give me a glass of water." Lin Li said with a somewhat erratic look in his eyes.
"Oh." Su Yue nodded, then stood up, bent over, picked up the kettle on the coffee table, and poured water for Lin Li.
After Su Yue, who was sitting next to her and relying on herself, stood up, the huge pressure on Lin Li was immediately reduced by more than half.
"Huh..."
He took a long breath and felt relaxed all over, but the orchid-like musk scent lingering on the tip of his nose was still there. Lin Li thought to himself that he couldn't take it lightly, otherwise he would definitely make a fool of himself.
"Here..."
"Drink some water and moisten your throat!" Su Yue, holding half a glass of water in her hand, sat back on the sofa and said to the person who was adjusting the time. Lin Li said.
“Tons, tons, tons…”
Lin Li took half a glass of water from Su Yue's hand, drank it in one gulp, and then continued to adjust the clock.
Su Yue put the empty cup back on the coffee table. At this time, she saw Lin Li stop adjusting the time.
“Okay, I have adjusted the time on the clock to be the same as the time displayed on the TV.
Next, let’s wait for a while and see if the time on the clock will change again. There is an error.
If there is still an error, it means the clock is broken and it is not a problem with the battery," Lin Li said, then put the clock on the coffee table.
"..." Su Yue silently held the adjusted clock in her hand. Seeing Su Yue's reaction, Lin Li couldn't understand why she became like this.
"What's wrong with you? I feel like you're a little depressed?"
Of course Su Yue won't tell Lin Li. The reason why she's depressed now is because she's worried that the clock is really broken. , and then this incident became an enduring topic for Lin Li to make fun of himself.
"No! I'm in a good mood now!" A bright smile appeared on Su Yue's face.
Su Yue, who Lin Li often complained about in his heart, was the reincarnation of a drama queen. As soon as the smile on her face spread, Lin Li's doubts were dispelled.
Although a popular TV series is playing on the TV, the two people sitting on the sofa in the living room are not thinking about the wonderful TV series at this time.
"Three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes..."
Lin Li and Su Yue looked at the time displayed by the hands on the clock from time to time.
Fifteen minutes have passed, and the clock has been adjusted without any error.
"Hehe..." Su Yue saw that there was no time error in the clock. When her nervousness relaxed, she also laughed happily.
"I'm just telling you! When I spent hundreds of dollars to buy this clock, I wasn't taking advantage of myself... The reason why the clock had errors before was entirely because I hadn't changed the battery for a long time."
Lin Li saw that after the clock had been replaced with a new battery, there was no time error in the past fifteen minutes, and he looked a little disappointed.
Hearing Su Yue's very happy laughter, Lin Li blurted out, "What a pity..."
"Huh?!!!" When Su Yue heard Lin Li say it was a pity, her face changed. His smile became even brighter.
She raised her slender arm, spread her five green onion-like fingers, patted Lin Li's shoulder, and said softly, "What's the pity?"
Lin Li was speechless when faced with Su Yue's knowing question. He hesitated for a few seconds. He didn't know how to explain it, so he could only change the topic very bluntly. "It's getting late, and I'm so hungry! Is it almost time to cook for dinner?"
Su Yue saw Lin Li's abrupt change of topic, but she didn't hold on to the question. Putting the clock in Lin Li's hand, he stood up and said.
"Hang the clock on the wall for me. I'll go to the kitchen to cook now."
"Yes." Lin Li nodded quickly when he saw that Su Yue had let him go.
Looking at Su Yue, who was walking towards the kitchen, humming a tune, swaying and in a good mood, Lin Li couldn't help but muttered, "Hey, can't you let me catch something embarrassing about her?"
…………
The sky outside the window turned completely dark. After the last ray of the sunset disappeared, darkness enveloped the earth.
"Woooooooo..."
The range hood is operating, sending the oil smoke out of the house.
Su Yue put the fried vegetables on the plate, then turned off the range hood and carried the dishes to the restaurant.
Lin Li, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV programs, took another look at the clock he hung on the wall that had its batteries replaced.
Finding that after a while, the clock still had no error, he gave up completely.
"Lin Li, come over for dinner." Su Yue's clear and sweet voice came from the direction of the kitchen. After hearing it, Lin Li in the living room picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, then got up and walked to the dining room.
On the table were fried water spinach, shredded green peppers and potatoes, fried bee pupae until golden brown and sprinkled with salt and pepper, several sticks of freshly steamed corn, and a plate of brightly colored roast duck.
"Sit down! What are you standing for?" Su Yue held a bowl of steaming pumpkin porridge in her hand. When she saw Lin Li standing at the dining table, looking at the dishes she had prepared, she smiled and asked him to take a seat quickly.
"Yes." Lin Li pulled out the chair and sat down. Su Yue placed the steaming pumpkin porridge in front of him, and then handed him a pair of chopsticks.
"Try the bee pupa I fried." After Su Yue sat down, she pointed at the bee pupa she had just fried and said with a smile.
"Click, click, click..."
The fried bee pupa with just the right heat was put into the mouth and it immediately made a crisp sound.
"You control the heat much better than me. The texture of the bee pupae I fried is much worse than the ones you fried. As for the taste, it is still better than yours..." Lin Li tasted Su Moon-fried bee pupa, fair review.
"I think what you said is a bit exaggerated. Although I can control the heat better than you, as long as the fried bee pupae are not burnt, the taste will not be much different..." Su Yue heard Lin Li's words Praise, happy eyebrows curling.
Under the light, two people were eating and chatting at the dining table. Suddenly, Su Yue's cell phone placed on the table rang.
"Didi Ling Ling..."
Reaching out for the phone and looking at it, Su Yue found that it was her mother calling.
After answering the call, Zheng Qiuyi's voice came from the phone.
"Xiaoyue, have you had dinner?"
"Eating right now!" Su Yue replied, "Mom, why did you call me?"
< br>In the bedroom, Zheng Qiuyi, who had changed into an evening dress and looked elegant and in her early thirties, stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror while talking on the phone to her daughter.
“I want to ask, are you still wearing the bracelet your dad gave you this morning?”
Zheng Qiuyi was worried that her daughter would take off the jade bracelet after returning home. She felt a little worried, so she made this call.
Su Yue held the phone in her right hand. When she heard her mother calling her, she just asked about this matter. She muttered in her heart, and then looked at the transparent jade bracelet she wore on her left hand. said.
"I'm wearing it! You and dad asked me to keep it on, and I remember it!"
Zheng Qiuyi felt relieved when her daughter said she was wearing a bracelet on her hand but hadn't taken it off. A breath, then she said with a smile.
"Your dad and I will go home tomorrow. When we get home, I will send you a box of oysters."
"There's no need for this! It's not like I can't buy it at the vegetable market here." Su Yue heard her mother say that she wanted to give herself parasitic oysters, thought about it, and said.
“I know you can also buy them in the wet market, but no matter how good the quality of the oysters in the wet market is, they can’t compare to those produced in our own farms...” Zheng Qiuyi said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, just send some! But don't send too much, I can't eat much by myself..." Su Yue said.
"I plan to send two copies. Your landlord usually takes good care of you. You can give one to him later." Zheng Qiuyi asked.
"Um..." Su Yue didn't expect her mother to mention Lin Li. She looked at Lin Li who was eating corn. The latter noticed her gaze and looked at Su Yue with some confusion.
"I know, I will give him a copy after I receive it."
Zheng Qiuyi looked in the mirror, tidied her hair on her forehead, and said, "I'm going out to attend a banquet with your dad. Let's do this for now. I'll call you after I get back and send the things."
"Okay." Su Yue nodded and hung up.
She sighed inwardly when she thought about her parents having to go out to attend the banquet again. It was really hard work.
However, socializing is unavoidable for his parents. After so many years, the two of them should have become accustomed to it.
How is it like her, after going to college, graduating, and now working.
Over the years, the number of banquets I go to with my parents has been greatly reduced.
"Is this the call from your mother?" Lin Li, who had eaten half a corn, stopped what he was doing, swallowed the corn in his mouth, and asked Su Yue.
"Yes." Su Yue said with a smile, "My mother called me and said she would send me some oysters in a few days."
Lin Li had the same idea as Su Yue , "Aren't there oysters sold in the wet market? Your mother sent some oysters all the way. It's unnecessary."
Su Yue smiled and said, "She insists on sending it, but I can't help it!"
"That's right." Lin Li nodded. At this time, he heard Su Yue add, "My mother I said that the oysters sent this time were for two people, and one of them was yours." Lin Li was surprised when he heard this. , he didn’t expect that he would have his share.
"This...this is so embarrassing!"
"You have helped me a lot in normal times, just a little oyster! Don't feel embarrassed." Su Yue smiled. said.
"Then you can say thank you to your mother for me later..." Lin Li scratched his head and said.
"Yes." Su Yue responded with a bright smile, and then picked up the chopsticks.
