Chapter 367 Brother Nan comes to visit
February 12, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Lantern Festival.
This day is the first important festival after the Spring Festival. Folk customs include eating Yuanxiao, appreciating lanterns, dragon and lion dances and other customs.
Here in the provincial capital, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is also called 'Celebrating the New Year'.
Lao Li and his aunt were particularly happy today. They went to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy more food. They couldn't finish the food. Even Li Mu went down to help.
Li Qinran stood at the outlet of the central air conditioner in the living room, feeling the warm air and adjusting the temperature - this was the task given to her by her aunt, to make the living room a suitable temperature that was neither cold nor hot.
Sliced cantaloupe, grapes and grapes still stained with water droplets were also placed on the coffee table. These were specially bought from Qingjiang by my aunt.
In addition to fruits, there are also plenty of snacks.
Eleven o'clock in the morning.
The smell of simmering soup began to faintly come from the kitchen, mixed with the smell of cooking sausages. Cold dishes were placed on the table, and the smell of marinade and spicy and sour seasonings also spread to the living room.
In previous years, their family would not hold such a grand ceremony during the Lantern Festival, just because Brother Nan was coming to the house for dinner today.
"Xiao Mu, isn't this temperature a bit cold?" Auntie picked up the air conditioner remote control.
"Brother Nan is not afraid of cold, but he is afraid of heat." Li Mu said.
"That's it!" Auntie put down the remote control again, and just a few seconds after sitting down, she quickly stood up again, "I'm going to the kitchen to see the soup."
"."
Li Mu felt that Auntie was probably more nervous than Brother Nan.
This is not the first time that Brother Nan has come to the house. I don't know why she is nervous. She has never been nervous before.
He pursed his lips, picked up a cantaloupe and ate it.
Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Lao Li was sitting calmly, staring at the TV screen without blinking.
But Lao Li obviously didn't pay all his attention to the news. He just heard him say without looking back: "Didn't you notice? Your aunt put the cantaloupe on the plate. You eat one piece and it becomes messy." She won’t even allow me to eat it.”
Li Mu remained silent.
Of course he, Lao Li, can’t eat it, just Lao Li
“Bang bang.”
There was a knock on the door outside.
As soon as Li Mugang stood up, he heard a burst of chaotic footsteps in the kitchen, and then saw his aunt wiping her hands on her apron and walking towards the door.
Lao Li still didn't look back, and said leisurely: "It's probably because she forgot her key when she went out."
Sure enough, Li Qinran's voice sounded at the door.
My aunt turned her disappointment into blame: "I forgot my key when I went out to buy a bottle of vinegar. Isn't there a spare one hanging on the back of the door?"
"I didn't think about it." Li Qinran changed her shoes expressionlessly, "The room smells so good, I'm a little hungry."
".There are fruits on the coffee table."
It is true that few mothers can resist their children's cries of hunger, but the aunt still warned: "When Xiao Nan comes over for dinner, don't move the things on the table."
"When you have a sister-in-law, you forget about your daughter," Li Qinran muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
Li Qinran silently walked to Li Mu and sat down, taking the yogurt from his lap and eating it with a bunch of grapes.
Li Mu looked at his phone.
Brother Nan has already set off and is still on the way.
Twelve twenty.
"Ding dong."
This time it was the doorbell that rang.
Li Mu stood up and walked to the entrance.
Upon seeing this, Lao Li quickly put down his hands that were wrapped around his chest, quietly sat up straight, and moved his butt forward.
Just as he expected——
With a click, the security door opened, and Li Mu brought Brother Nan in.
Auntie poked her head out from the kitchen with a bright smile: "You're here so early! Come sit down and play casually for a while. The meal has to wait for a while, and the seafood hasn't been steamed yet. Why are you still carrying something?" What else should I bring when I come home? Really!” “I passed by the fruit shop and bought some.”
"There are also two bottles of Maotai that my dad said he would bring to Uncle Li. He kept them for a long time with iron lids. My mother also asked me to bring you two boxes of bird's nests. She said they were blood bird's nests. She said they were delicious. , I’ll give you a try too.” Brother Nan was very casual.
"Oh, thank you very much for them!" Auntie said hurriedly, "You don't wear much, are you cold? There is fruit on the table, eat some first."
"It's not cold." Brother Nan said, rolling up his sleeves and walking to the kitchen, "Want to help, Auntie?"
"No, no! Lao Li will come to help me later! Just go and play with Xiao Mu and Ranran!"
"Let me help you!"
"Lao Li and I are used to working together."
"That's fine."
"Give me the things." Li Mu took the things that Brother Nan was carrying and looked at the two bottles of Moutai with iron caps. He couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth. He leaned closer to Brother Nan and asked quietly, "Do you really want these two bottles of wine from your father?" Bring it?”
"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"It's okay."
After all, Brother Nan is a habitual offender when he steals his father's Moutai, so he can't blame Li Mu for overthinking it.
After putting down his things, he took Brother Nan to the living room.
"Hello, Uncle Li."
"Hey! Bao Ran!"
"Yoghurt, come and give me a hug."
“My dad also watches the news at home every day, and I love watching it too!”
"."
Soon, Brother Nan and Lao Li chatted about the general trend of the world, about the Middle East and Syria, and the yogurt was also squeezed in her arms until she narrowed her eyes.
Li Qinran and Li Mu sat in a daze beside them.
When Lao Li was called to the kitchen by his aunt, Brother Nan turned to chat with his brother and sister. While talking, he picked up a cantaloupe and ate it.
"Wow, this is so sweet!"
"My mother specifically asked her sisters in Qingjiang to buy it." Li Qinran also picked up a piece and took a bite, adding, "I bought it specifically for you."
"Hehe!" Brother Nan grinned.
After another twenty minutes, dinner was served.
Brother Nan followed Li Mu to get the bowl and chopsticks again, without any restraint.
After the food was put on the table, it goes without saying that she was capable. A simple woman like her aunt, who had never had any relevant experience, was coaxed from ear to ear with just a few words.
"Come on, come on, eat this lobster. It's all produced in the Qingjiang Seafood Base. It's very safe and has no radiation." Auntie greeted warmly.
"Wow! It's delicious! Auntie, your craftsmanship is so good. Seafood looks simple, but it will taste unpalatable if it's not cooked well."
"I fumbled this all by myself. Eat more and try this crab again"
The laughter at the dinner table never stopped.
The two brothers and sisters Li Mu looked at each other in shock.
After the meal, Brother Nan took the initiative to help his aunt clean up the dishes
Li Mu watched everything silently, secretly thinking whether to write down Brother Nan's performance today for future study.
3pm.
Li Mu sent Brother Nan away.
Li Qinran sat in the living room digesting the food with her yogurt in her arms. At the same time, she did not forget to hit Li Mu: "You really need to learn from Brother Nan, look at her, and then look at you. If you go to her house to eat, you may be wrong." I can’t even tell you.”
Li Mu glanced at her and sat on the sofa.
The younger sister's voice continued: "Besides, Brother Nan is so tall and good-looking, so the old couple may like her to death. Let me tell you, if you don't make it with Brother Nan in the future, and you bring another one back, then A comparison”
"."
Li Mu stood up, took the yogurt from her arms and returned to the house.
