Chapter 409
On Saturday morning, Li Chao was still sleeping in, but was woken up by a strange phone call. The person on the other end of the phone said that she was Ermaji's mother Ridham. She had quit her job and got on the long-distance bus immediately. She arrived in Jindu at twelve to twelve to twelve to twelve to twelve. She asked Li Chao where she could find him after she arrived in Jindu?
Ridham was not very standard in Chinese. Li Chao listened roughly and basically understood what she meant. He thought to himself: "You really know how to find time. On Sundays, where can I find someone to arrange for you!" He was worried that she was unfamiliar with her place after she arrived in Jindu, and she was lost and became more troublesome, so he said to her: "Don't come to me, if you get off the bus, you will wait for me at the entrance of the long-distance bus station, don't go anywhere! Let's pick you up. Do you understand what I mean, Ridham?"
Ridam said she understood, and after thanking Lichao, she hung up the phone.
Li Chao lost sleepiness and got up and yawned to look for Qingrou.
When he arrived at the dining room, he saw Qingrou tidy up the room and prepared breakfast for him.
When Qingrou saw him coming out of the study, she joked, "I finally got up, you lazy guy! Go wash your face and rinse your mouth and have breakfast. After you finish your breakfast, you can go there to play. They have done yoga and practiced their handwriting."
Li Chao stretched his waist and shook his head and muttered, "You can't go anywhere. Xiao Luobo's mother arrived at noon. We have to pick her up. Oh, on Sunday, she is too good at finding time. She doesn't come early or late."
Seeing that he looked reluctant, Qingrou stepped forward and hugged him and said coquettishly, "Okay, kind brother Lichao, thank you for your hard work. Little Radish Head's mother came to Jindu for the first time. We don't go to pick her up, if she gets lost or something happens, I'll be sorry for Ermaji and Little Radish Head's pair, don't you think?"
Li Chao pouted and said, "I originally made an appointment with Xiaofei, Guagua, Zeyu and others to go on a horse riding for lunch, but now it's all gone. I want to teach you well today."
Qingrou smiled and said, "If you want to ride a horse, there is more time in the future. You tell Guagua Xiaofei and the others that it will be the same for us to go to find them later in the afternoon. OK OK, be good, have breakfast soon, and after you finish eating, accompany me to buy something. What time is it now?"
After saying that, he pushed Lichao hard to wash up, and then pulled him to sit on the dining table. Lichao pouted and said, "Then I want you to feed him. If you don't feed me, I won't eat it."
Qingrou burst out laughing and said angrily: "Do you think you are just a little big like Lele!"
At noon, Li Chao and Qingrou waited at the entrance of the long-distance bus station for a while before they saw a short woman who was dark and thin, carrying a big canvas backpack and wearing a hat walked to the side of the station gate and looked around there.
Li Chao thought that this might be Ridham, so he went over and shouted with Qingrou, and it was indeed her.
On this day, Dam was only in his thirties. Seeing that she looked fifty years old and thin, Li Chao thought that her appearance might be the result of a long and difficult life, and thought of her lovely children, she felt more pity for her.
Qingrou was very enthusiastic about Ridam and introduced to her that she was Leng Xiangyue Leng's junior sister, and she also reached out to help her get the big canvas bag.
Ridam turned his body to prevent Qingrou from taking it, and whispered: "It's too dirty."
When Li Chao took her into her car and put her canvas bag in the trunk of the car, she saw that the bag was full of pots, pans and spoons, and laughed and said, "Ridam, we can't eat here for dinner."
Ridam in the car nodded in a mute voice after hearing this, and stopped talking with a "Oh". Kashichao thought to himself that she might not understand Chinese.
When he arrived at the company's dormitory, Lichao led Ridham to a large single room with a bathroom in a three-bedroom apartment. There was a large bed in the room, and a single folding bed beside the wall. It was specially arranged by Lichao. He thought that the two brothers and sisters of Ermaji could come to Jindu to live with their mother during the winter and summer vacations in the future.
Kasaka said slowly to Ridham, who was at a loss at the door, "Ridham, this is your room. After the holiday, Ermaji and Ridham Buki are here, so you can stay. Do you understand?"
The eyes of Ridham were filled with tears and he nodded vigorously.
Li Chao called the one who lives next door again. The two girls in the company told them that Ridham is a distant relative of their family and came to work as a cleaner in the company. She had just come from the countryside. If there was anything, please take them to take care of her. Next Monday, please ask them to take her to the company to find Hao Nannan so that she can arrange her work.
The girls in the company all liked their handsome and handsome boss. What he ordered was that they naturally agreed.
Li Chao asked Ridam to wash up, and then took her to the restaurant on Wanru's top floor for dinner with Qingrou. Li Chao whispered the story of Ridam and her children to Wanru, and then said, "Sister, do me a favor. In the future, Ridam will have dinner with you and everyone on holidays. She is also very pitiful."
Wanru agreed readily: "What do you say to help or not? Add a pair of chopsticks. I am also a mother, I understand her."
Li Chao laughed and said, "Your lazy fat son is much happier than her children, one in the sky and the other underground! Hey, sister, we will go to Rourou's senior sister on June 1st. I want to take Lele there too to take a look and let that kid get education."
Wanru smiled and said, "Okay, I want to go with you too and get reeducation."
Kashao slowly and patiently told Ridham that she would have dinner here tonight, and said that his sister was a good person and would treat her well.
After Rydanum understood, he rubbed his hands and said uneasy: "What's that okay? What's OK? I won't eat and drink for free. I... can help them wash dishes and wipe the table. I've done it with us."
Wanru hurriedly said no, saying that Ridam was still a guest.
Li Chao stopped Wanru and said, "It's okay, let her do whatever she wants. She is a person who is used to working hard, so she will feel at ease. Sister, just look at it at the end of the month and give it a little, hehe..."
Wanru and Qingrou also laughed with him.
After dinner, Li Chao took Qingrou and said to Ridam, "Do it well, we won't treat you badly. Ermaji and Little Radish Head are counting on you."
With tears in his eyes, Ridham kept bowing to Kasao and Qingrou and said, "You are all kind-hearted people, kind-hearted people, thank you, thank you."
Qingrou hurriedly helped her up and said, "Ridam, don't do this. Do your best here and your life will get better."
On the way to the club, Qingrou kept turning her head and staring at Li Chao and smiling foolishly.
Li Chao was uncomfortable when she saw her, so she asked her why she was giggling.
Qingrou said: "Super, I find that you are getting more and more handsome now."
Li Chao was flattered and said with a slight interest: "Really? Is that the most handsome and handsome man in your mind?"
Qingrou nodded vigorously and said, "Well, the most handsome and handsome one has never been able to compare with you!"
When Li Chao heard it, he felt so sweet. He felt like he had eaten honey. He felt that all his efforts and hard work were worth it.
Qingrou said again: "Chao, your company's employee dormitory is really good, with a living room, a TV and air conditioning. You are really good to the company's employees."
Li Chao joked, "Then come to our company after graduation. I'll give you a newer and better dormitory."
However, Qing Rou replied seriously: "That's not possible. I have already promised my second senior brother that after graduation, I will go to their school to be a teacher to teach children's music. Besides, what can I do when I go to your company? I can't let me play the piano for you every day! Hahaha."
Li Chao felt unsure after hearing this. He thought: "Okay, you second senior brother, Zhu Bajie, dare to compete with me, Rou'er, Humph, I have to find an opportunity to get to know you."
On Sunday, Li Chao asked Zixi to come to his house for dinner in the afternoon.
After breakfast, he took Qingrou with him, went to her house to pick her parents up, and then drove to a large wholesale market for agricultural and aquatic products outside the outer ring expressway.
Li Chao said that the ingredients here are fresh and there are many varieties. He often comes here with his sister, Kaizi Qiangqiang and others to buy meat and fresh vegetables.
Li Chao also patiently taught Qingrou how to choose good fresh vegetables and various meats and seafood, which really made Qingrou have a lot of insights.
Qing Wenyuan and his wife also thought that the vegetables and meat here were fresh and cheap, so they bought a lot. Qing Wenyuan said that now, he doesn't have to buy vegetables for a week.
After buying things, it was already past noon. Li Chao drove Qingrou and his family to a farm restaurant not far from here. Qingrou saw that the restaurant's name was very special, called "Lao San"
Qingrou asked: "Cho, why do you call this name? Is there any allusion?"
Li Chao kept it a secret and said, "Haha, you will know when you eat later."
It was already past mealtime, but there were no fewer customers in the store. Li Chao and the others finally waited for the seat, but they still played tables with others.
Li Chao was not idle and didn't waste any time. Before he sat down, he called the waiter to order dishes: mullet fillets, braised oil duck slices, and red soup chicken slices, all of which were the signature dishes here. Then he also thoughtfully ordered two of their women's favorite good things to eat for Qingrou Shuyan: Xiangruo duck wings, Xiangruo duck letters, and ordered a few flavored side dishes.
Qingrou reacted at this time: "Oh, it turns out they are these three pieces!"
Maybe I have walked too many ways to visit the farmers' market and I am hungry. Qingrou's family eats very sweetly. Qingwen chewed while eating, "Rourou is often with Li Chao, a big gourmet that can be eaten and cooked. Have you learned a trick? Next time I will make a big meal for my mother and I at home so that we can enjoy a happy and full meal."
Qingrou smiled and said, "Okay, Dad, next time I will find a time to cook for you and mom. As long as you don't dislike the bad taste of my cooking, you can eat it."
Qing Wenyuan said happily: "As long as you cook all the food, your father can eat it and enjoy the blessing of my daughter, it's not easy. Who would care about whether the food tastes good?"
Li Chao immediately flattered and said, "Uncle and aunt, don't you know, soft-baked cakes, fried millet porridge, fried pork with sauce, and fried old sauerkraut, the taste is so delicious! Even the person who is so picky about my second sister eats it with relish and eats it voraciously. In the end, I didn't even have enough, so I let her eat it."
Chu Yan covered her mouth and smiled, "We are so kind of things, and we don't make them often at home. Li Chao, you have a good taste. I haven't eaten the food she cooked in a long time."
He talked about Yifei inadvertently, and Li Chao's mind flashed. Suddenly, he thought of something very important. He hurriedly took out his cell phone to call Yifei. The phone was connected, but Feifei didn't answer. Li Chao called several times in a row, and it was all like this. He thought to himself: "What is this person doing? It's too unmoral. He didn't answer the phone after the phone was connected. So what do you need to do if you want a mobile phone?" He had to send her a text message and said: "After seeing the text message, come to my house in the afternoon, cut! Cut!!"
After dinner, I paid the bill because I was going to send Qing Wenyuan and his wife home to pass by the entrance of the community where they lived. Li Chao asked Qing Wenyuan and Chu Yan to sit there, have some tea, and have a rest.
Qing Wenyuan agreed readily. The future father-in-law and mother-in-law came to the door for the first time, and Li Chao was of course attentive. He burned incense, brewed tea, and handed candies and snacks to Chuyan. He also asked Qing Wenyuan to smoke his Cuban cigar.
Qing Wen Yuan saw that his house was quite large, clean and tidy, spotless, and was quite satisfied. He praised: "Li Chao, your place is pretty good, clean, spacious and comfortable."
Li Chao didn't dare to take credit for his contributions, so he hurriedly said, "This is all Rourou's credit, it depends on her to clean up, otherwise it wouldn't be so neat here."
Chu Yan thought their cigar smelled so much, so she went upstairs with Qingrou.
Qing Wenyuan and Li Chao chatted for a while, and saw that only the two of them were left, and said, "Li Chao, you can see that you and Rou Rou are in love and have a harmonious relationship. My uncle was young and had such an experience. I understand. What I want to tell you is: It is not enough for couples to have love. In addition to love, there are many things that need to be done by both of them. Remember your uncle's words: People cherish each other for kindness, respect for virtue, communicate with love, embrace etiquette, trust in sincerity, and accompany love. There is also a state in ordinary life, that is tolerance, and the highest state in the relationship between two people is respect. Li Chao, do you understand what uncle means?"
It seems that Qing Wenyuan still believes in his daughter and is somewhat worried about Li Chao.
How could Li Chao not hear the implicit meaning of these words? It seems that Qingrou's father is still clear about Rouru's living here. He is telling himself not to do anything deviant before marriage!
Li Chao hurriedly expressed his attitude to Qing Wenyuan: "Uncle, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, my relationship with Rou Rou is getting closer and closer, and we love each other more and more. We are based on love, but we can stop being courteous. Rou Rou has already agreed with me, we will not go beyond the rules, cross the line, uncle, you...you believe me."
After hearing this, Qing Wenyuan nodded and said, "Okay, okay, this is the best."
Li Chao led Qing Wenyuan to visit his nest again. Several people chatted again, and Qing Wenyuan and his wife were about to say goodbye. Li Chao was about to entertain their future father-in-law and mother-in-law at home and patted their flattery, so he was willing to let them go, saying that the food was ready, and Rourou's senior brother and the others met again, so they invited them to have a meal here.
Qing Wenyuan said: "You young people can easily joke together. We are the elders in the middle, which will make you feel very uncomfortable. Next time, next time." He and Chu Yan insisted on leaving. Seeing that Li Chao couldn't stop him, he took out a new sweeping robot from the room and gave it to Qing Wenyuan and his wife, asking them to take it home for them. He said: "Uncle and aunt, Rourou are not at home, and you are busy. You can take this robot back and use it very conveniently. It can be charged by itself and swept the floor automatically. Rourou said it is very useful. In this way, every night when you go home, the floor is clean, and you can have more time to rest."
Chu Yan refused to accept it, and Li Chao insisted on giving it away again, and the two were in a stalemate. Finally, Qing Rou had to stand up and persuade her parents: "Mom, just accept it. This was specially bought by Li Chao in Shanghai last time. I have asked me to take it home for you. This is also his heart, don't let it down."
Qing Wenyuan and Chu Yan had to accept it, but they refused to let Li Chao send them away again. They said that the gate of the community was the subway station, and they got home after taking a few stops, which was faster than driving.
After leaving Li Chao's house, Chu Yan whispered to her husband: "I have carefully observed their places. The toiletries are separated. There is only one pillow on the bedroom and the big bed. And... Wen Yuan, we have a surprise inspection this time. They don't have the time and opportunity to deal with each other. I think it's okay."
Qing Wenyuan nodded and said, "It seems that this young man Li Chao is pretty good. He loves our Xiaorou and respects her. In this way, we can feel at ease."
The couple felt very relieved and relieved when they thought of a good boy like Lichao taking care of his daughter in the future.
Just after four o'clock, Murong Zixi arrived at Li Chao's house. In addition to bringing framed calligraphy and paintings, he also gave Li Chao and his junior sister a handmade folding fan made by Wang Xingji, Hangzhou. Li Chao saw that the folding fan bone was smooth and smooth as jade, and the light could shine. The paper of the mounted fan was Su's face, and there was also an ink and wash landscape painting drawn by Zixi himself on it.
Li Chao couldn't put it down now and regarded it as a treasure. Qingrou, who was beside him, said to him: "My senior brother's calligraphy and painting are unique in the calligraphy and painting world today, and it is hard to find a thousand gold. Today you will be blessed to get this treasure."
Li Chao was even more happy when he heard this. He thanked Zixi and led him into his study. He took a few purple clay pots from the ancient shelf of Huanghuali. He put them in front of Zixi like holding a rare treasure and asked him to play with it. He said generously: "Senior brother, I heard that you like to drink a few sips of tea, and good tea also needs a good pot to match. These pots were also a coincidence when I went to Jiangsu to visit. I accepted them by chance. There are works by Shiquan, Jingnan Shanqiao, Jiang Linfeng, and Lu Yaochen. Choose one and take it back and raise it slowly. Even if you give me a peach and repay me with a plum."
Zixi hurriedly refused: "The works of these masters have been rarely published, but they are hard to come by. It is not easy to receive such a few gifts. If a gentleman does not win over others' love, how can I accept such a valuable gift from you!"
Li Chao smiled and said, "Senior Brother, I respect you as talented, young hero, and a gentle senior brother. It's like giving you something good. If you don't like it, I won't dare to accept your folding fan!"
Seeing that Li Chao was so childish, Qing Rou was afraid that his senior brother would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "Senior brother, Li Chao is a straightforward and cheerful person. He said he wanted to give you something, so he really thought so in his heart. It's not a hypocritical attitude. If you see something satisfied, choose one. Everyone is happy. "
Zixi nodded and smiled, "Okay, then I'll be disrespectful. I can't let Li Chao down, so I'm not polite." After that, he chose a lotus purple clay teapot with unique ideas, clever color matching, fine workmanship, realistic image, and full of childlike fun. It was a work of Jiang Linfeng. Li Chao was happy and praised Zixi for having a vision.
