Chapter 43 The inescapable yam juice
By the way, Mrs. Xu still has a good impression of Li Menglong, who seems to be more relaxed now for some reason. There are not many young people who can at least play a few games of chess with their husbands.
The first time I heard about Li Menglong was when Xiaoxian called me to talk about Li Shunkyu's personal assistant. At that time, I had a stable view of this young man, and the matter was resolved happily in the end.
And every time his daughter chatted with him in the past few days, the name Li Menglong would be mentioned. There was no love between men and women, but more about Xu Xian's curiosity about another kind of life that he had never seen before.
The more she understood, the more worried Mother Xu felt. Even if she didn't meet today, she would probably have to meet Li Menglong soon, because the urban life he had experienced was too attractive to her curious daughter.
However, after meeting and chatting today, I felt good overall. At the same time, I felt that it was a good choice for such a person to bring another outlook on life to Xiaoxian, otherwise she would be more worried about others.
"Menglong, do you want to eat some more fruit?" Mother Xu smiled softly. However, after being reminded by the other party, Li Menglong realized what state he was in now. How could he continue to eat fruit from the plate?
So the half-eaten fruit plate was neither returned nor returned. The plate in Li Menglong's hand was awkwardly held in the air. For a moment, in addition to the sound of Father Xu's fingers tapping on the table, the only sound in the room was the sound of everyone suppressing laughter.
Fortunately, Xu Doufu did not forget the boss who helped him settle the matter, and bravely stood up to help everyone. However, looking at the holes in his trousers, Li Menglong wished he could educate him immediately and let him know what real dog blood is. Shower!
Father Xu thought for a long time before taking a step, and then he looked up and saw this scene: "Menglong eats whatever he wants. During the Chinese New Year, people brought a lot of fruit to the family, and the family can't finish it all."
"Yes, Menglong Oppa, let me squeeze another cup of yam juice for you!" Xu Xian also helped, but she knew in her heart that she had tricked Li Menglong today, and it seemed that the depth of the trick was not low.
But who makes today's thing special? Xu Xian can only comfort herself in her heart, and at the same time try to use some small tricks to get Li Menglong's forgiveness. Sharing yam juice is the first step. This is one of the few dishes she is good at. .
Li Menglong looked at the stick. Yes, it was just like the beer at the late-night snack stall. It was a large glass of milky white thick liquid. He sniffed it quietly and it seemed that there was no peculiar smell.
Glancing at Xu Xian who looked expectant, even Xu's mother looked over curiously, knowing that she couldn't accept her daughter's taste.
I took a gentle sip and found the slightly astringent, inexplicable taste. It was a bit like stale potatoes or sweet potatoes. It was weird anyway, but it wasn't so unpleasant that I couldn't drink it here.
Except that the amount was a bit too much, it was nothing. Father Xu on the opposite side had already made a cup of tea and was sipping it in small sips. Li Menglong was holding this oversized cup and sipping it. Even Father Xu pointed at his daughter. .
Xu Xian was happy in his heart. The cup he gave to Li Menglong was specially made. Xu Xian would usually add some apples and honey to juice for Ernie and his mother, but in Li Menglong's case there was nothing but milk.
Except for Xiaoxian himself, no one has ever said that this method tastes good, but it is the most nutritious. Xu Xian firmly believes this.
Then his eyes gradually moved to his mother, and the look in his eyes clearly revealed: Others can drink with gusto, and you should do the same.
In some aspects, facing the stubborn Xu Xian, even Xu's mother had to give in, so on the pretext of giving Xu Tofu a bath, Xu's mother hid in the bathroom, only to make Xu Doufu look confused. Xu Xian couldn't play chess, but he still sat down solemnly, with his back straight and a small teapot on his left hand side, and a juicer on his right hand side.
Although you can get the treatment of red sleeves to add fragrance, you are still playing chess, and Girls' Generation's Seohyun is giving you tea (yam) water (juice), but Li Menglong really can't drink it anymore, and his mouth is full of bitter taste. The painful thing is that feeling of being flat and tasteless.
The ultimate reason why Xu Xian can sit here safely is the conversation between the two men in the next issue. He has always been full of respect for his father Xu Xian. As a senior intellectual with a lot of free time, Xu's father is worthy of being knowledgeable and knowledgeable. this title.
It’s just that no matter what Xu’s father talks about, Li Menglong, who seems to be a bit stunned, can pick up the conversation. It’s not the kind of blind flattery, but a back-and-forth discussion, which can often make Xu’s father tickled. at.
In the end, he stopped playing chess and just chatted with Li Menglong. However, chatting made him thirsty, and when he was thirsty, he drank yam juice. Li Menglong fell into an endless loop.
Finally, when it came to the reform of the education system, Li Menglong was confused to be honest. He just relied on reading a lot of books. He picked up a few sentences from this book and a few from that book, and he was able to make up for the conversation. Anyway, they were all on the other side. He is saying that he can just set up a stage.
Before I knew it, it was past ten in the morning. After all, it was the Chinese New Year, and a large table of dishes had to be prepared in the afternoon, so Mrs. Xu was already busy. After learning that Li Menglong's parents were gone, Xu's mother naturally planned to keep Li Menglong here to eat.
Xu's father and Xu Xian naturally agreed with each other. You must know that during the New Year, besides eating, it is boring. It is really good to have a friend to chat with.
"No, auntie, I have family to celebrate the New Year with. He is waiting for me at home." After Li Menglong finished speaking, the other party looked at Xu Xian with some confusion.
The moment Li Menglong spoke, she realized who the other party was talking about. It was true that it was not good for Ernie to be alone in the dormitory, but it was also an unspeakable pity: "How about you take Ernie over and let's go together? New Year.”
"We have bought all the things at home. Besides, you still need to prepare for ancestor worship. After the second day of the Lunar New Year, if you are at home, she and I will come over again." Li Menglong said with a smile.
After sending Li Menglong back, Xu Xian found that the house was inexplicably quieter. His mother was busy in the kitchen, and his father was kicked out by his mother. He was sitting next to the broken chess game and reminiscing, while Xu Doufu looked like he was beyond love. She sighed softly unconsciously.
After coming out, Li Menglong took a long breath as the gate was opened and the water was released. He couldn't help but scream out that he was so exhausted just now.
Thinking that Lee Soon Kyu would not be hungry anymore after being together for a long time, he speeded up and went to pick up a train from yesterday's place. When he got home, it turned out that Lee Soon Kyu was already on the verge of rage.
"I went to see Xiaoxian off, but his mother stayed at home for a meal." Li Menglong said with a smile.
But Li Soonkyu glanced at him suspiciously and kicked him to the kitchen. He only looked at the time on the clock that pointed to three o'clock, and then looked at the text message in his hand that Xu Xian sent at 11 o'clock.
"Everyone has his own secret." Li Shunkyu thought, so he tried his best to adjust his mood and ran to the kitchen yelling.
