I am the king of hard rice

Chapter 322 Old Zhao Returns to Beijing
"Uncle and aunt are back?"

"Well, how was the stroll at the beach?"

"It's okay, it's just a little cold."

At 05:30 in the afternoon, after Li Peifeng and the other three returned home, Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi also drove back after completing their supervision.

Comrade Lao Li bought a bunch of vegetables, started working on the dinner, and called his filial son Li Peifeng to help.

Now the six members of the family have to wait to eat, and there are four more mouths. Not only the daily food cost is extremely high, but also the difficulty of cooking has increased sharply, which makes Li Qiyuan very worried.

In particular, the relationship between the three girls and their sons is unusual. Strictly speaking, each of them is a daughter-in-law. Naturally, the meals cannot be cooked simply, and each meal must be rich.

Not counting pickles, at least six dishes for six people, right?

Six dishes are not too difficult, the key is that the three women in the family have different tastes, some like sour food, some like spicy food, some have light taste, some don't like meat, some don't like vegetables, and some don't like vegetables. Can't put ginger in the dish...

"Let's go, don't celebrate the New Year here, or I will make dumplings with at least four kinds of stuffing!"

Once again, a sumptuous dinner was served. Chef Li Qiyuan listened to the girls' praise while eating. He looked happy on the surface, but his heart was already numb.

But fortunately, the atmosphere at the dinner was not bad, and there was no such situation as before.

After the meal, they also helped to clean up the dishes, and went back to their respective houses after finishing the work, without any other twists and turns.Li Peifeng also wanted to work in the attic, but the couple followed suit.

"Papa, what's the matter?"

"Come in and talk."

Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi sat down in the small bedroom in the attic respectively, forming a double-bread interrogation posture with their son.

"We had a good chat yesterday? I don't think they were noisy today."

"Well, we had a good chat."

"What do you think? Who will you choose?"

"……I do not know either."

Yu Huizhi's face changed: "I think you didn't think about it carefully at all, and are you planning to delay?"

Li Peifeng couldn't stop laughing: "That's impossible, absolutely impossible, I will definitely make the right choice after careful consideration."

Li Qiyuan said in a deep voice: "If you want to make the right choice too much, it will be difficult to choose. You have to replace being right with liking. This may be the best choice."

"Well, that's right."

Yu Huizhi glanced at Li Qiyuan, and said slowly: "This is what your father and I meant. We have no opinion on who you will choose in the end, as long as you like it."

“…I actually like multiple choice the most.”

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll go downstairs to get the rolling pin."

Li Peifeng kept silent, thinking that I had already hidden the rolling pin!

Next, his parents took turns enlightening him for a while, instilling a good meal of chicken soup for the soul, but Li went in one ear and out the other, and didn't listen to a word.

Since his parents were rarely verbose, Li Peifeng became a little impatient after listening to it for a long time.

"Actually, when I went to the capital to go to university, you clearly told me a truth. Regarding my own life, all I can do is 'choose the path that I think is the best'. On the other hand, how do others evaluate you? It’s someone else’s problem, I can’t control it, and I don’t have to deal with it, because they can’t be responsible for my life.”

"So you're going to go your own way, right?"

"I think Li Peifeng, you are out of your mind. Don't mention whether we agree or not. If their parents find out about this, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Those who cannot take orders from themselves must take orders from others. From "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", this sentence means that only by not seeking affirmation from outside yourself can you truly become your own master..."

The meaning of the words is correct, there is great wisdom and great philosophy!

But Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi didn't agree, and they changed their countenance suddenly, and launched a more severe discipline on Li Xiaozi.

But this time Li Peifeng learned his lesson, no longer refute, just kept silent.

But the second elder saw that he didn't eat oil and salt, so after talking for a long time, he could only go downstairs and go back to each room.

"Think about it yourself!"

"Why don't you get to know about the matter on the seventh day...don't stay in this house!"

Otherwise, on the [-]th, I also plan to fly to the Shanghai Stock Exchange for the annual meeting, a weak threat!
Li Peifeng sat calmly for a while, got up and went to the window, took off the black cloth covering the easel, and revealed the unfinished starry night painting.

"This surging emotion, this endless loneliness and sudden confusion are my greatest inspiration!"

Li Peifeng took out his paintbrush, and used the painting to outline what he thought in his heart little by little. He stayed up all night.

When encountering difficulties, there is another way besides putting it badly.

"It is precisely because I have the ability to overcome that this test will come!"

……

"Uncle and aunt, I'm leaving now."

"There seems to be a little snow outside, Qing Ge, drive slowly and be careful all the way."

"Ok."

At twelve noon on January 1, Zhao Qingge set foot on the way back to Beijing after lunch. Li Peifeng sent her downstairs and wanted to drive her to the intersection of the highway. Old Zhao refused, and just turned on the car heater. Chatted with him in the car.

"I have a holiday on the [-]th, and I will come to Ningyuan City that night to listen to the decision you made on the [-]th, so there is no need to send it off."

"Ah."

Li Peifeng didn't get out of the car, and took Zhao Qingge's hand, but she didn't start the car either.

Amidst the whirring of the car heater, the two looked at each other in silence for a while. Lao Zhao turned his face and looked ahead, and said softly, "I can accept whoever you choose that day. You don't have to care too much about my feelings." , I accept that things backfired. What’s more, my feelings for you are not particularly pure. I’m still not sure whether it is something that can be called a relationship between a man and a woman. Maybe it’s a good idea to end this relationship with you as soon as possible The result, so don't feel pressured, understand?"

Still stubborn?Are you playing hard to get with me?
Li Peifeng wanted to speak, but closed his mouth again and nodded: "Understood."

Zhao Qingge pursed his lips, and said hesitantly: "But if you really decide to be with me formally that day, I will also try to fulfill my duties as... a partner, instead of still treating you like a student. Let me make it clear to you."

Duties of a partner?
Li Peifeng was a little moved in his heart, and tentatively said: "So, then can I be with you?"

Zhao Qingge didn't answer, just squeezed the hand that Li Peifeng was holding, and then slightly closed his eyes.

Ok, let me taste the saltiness first.

Li Peifeng turned sideways, put his left elbow against the armrest box and poked his head over.

This was the first time that Zhao Qingge was so active and enthusiastic, which caught Li Peifeng a little off guard.

They kissed for a long time, until both of them were blown by the warm wind and felt some warmth, then they slowly let go, but Li Peifeng still held her hand, and said in a complicated tone: "If that day, I haven't decided what to do Choose, what do you say then?"

"You have to make a choice!"

Zhao Qingge's complexion changed slightly, and after he finished speaking, he broke away from Li Peifeng's hand, and the inside of the car seemed to be two degrees colder.

Li Peifeng was not surprised, and continued to probe: "Then if I didn't choose to be with you in the end, but chose one or two of them, would you really accept it calmly as I said just now?"

"acceptable!!"

Zhao Qingge suddenly increased the volume, and Li Peifeng was taken aback even if he was mentally prepared.

"Do you have anything else to say? If you have nothing to say, get out of the car, I'm leaving!"

Zhao Qingge's face was gloomy and frightening, and his tone was unavoidably harsh. The temperature in the car dropped by two degrees again.

Li Peifeng helplessly put his hand on the switch of the inner sliding door, and was about to leave, but he was worried that the other party would inevitably have problems driving when he was angry, so he didn't open the door.

After thinking for a while, Li Peifeng wondered: "You said just now that you are not sure whether your feelings for me are love or not. Since you are not sure, if I am with you, won't it delay you?"

"I……"

Zhao Qingge was at a loss for words for a moment, then gritted his teeth and pursed his lips tightly, refusing to say anything.

"Ahem, so, are you not sure, or are you too embarrassed to express your feelings frankly?"

Li Peifeng hesitated and said: "If you are more clear, maybe I can be more clear, otherwise if you think that way, I really don't know what choice to make."

He wants the general, he wants Zhao Qingge to be more frank, instead of being so duplicity. If the other party can really admit that the relationship between the two is true, then he probably...

In short, after staying up all night last night and deliberating during the painting period, Li Peifeng believes that if he has to choose one of the four girls, he has to consider more than the appearance.For example, a soul that can communicate, has the same likes and dislikes, vision and pattern.Looking at it this way, among the women around him, Zhao Qingge was the one who was most compatible with him.

Secondly, there is an obvious gap in their identities and ages. Zhao Qingge has given up so much and mustered up the courage to go to himself, and even took him to meet his parents. Li Peifeng felt that if he failed the other party, he would be too inhuman up.

But Li Peifeng wanted a clear answer from Zhao Qingge, a reason enough to convince him not to choose other people, but he waited for about 2 minutes, and when Xu Maning asked him "Why don't you go upstairs" on WeChat, he didn't wait for Zhao Qingge's answer.

For Zhao Duoduo, a primary school student, my question may still be a bit out of line!

"Think about it carefully."

Li Peifeng felt a little lost, and wanted to open the car door, but heard a 'click', and the door was locked.

Undoubtedly, it was Zhao Qingge in the driver's seat who pressed the main switch. She just retracted her left index finger from the button. Seeing Li Peifeng looking at her, she quickly put down her left hand and looked ahead as if nothing had happened.

"...So, can you make it clear?"

Zhao Qingge supported the steering wheel and said nothing in default. After a while, Li Peifeng asked again, which made Zhao Duoduo very angry, and said bluntly: "If you don't choose me, you will postpone your graduation!"

"I applied for early graduation..."

"That's Yanbi! It's Yanbi!"

Zhao Qingge gripped the steering wheel tightly, his fingers turned white, and his lips trembled with anger: "Anyway, I will definitely delay you!"

Intimidation can't be replaced by threat.

Li Peifeng coughed dryly and decided to forgive Professor Zhao for his rudeness. After all, Yanbi is the unique romance she can give to her beloved student.

"But this answer is not what I want. I want to know whether you love me or not."

Li Peifeng had a complete showdown: "Is it love or not? There are only two choices. Before I make a choice, you should choose among them!"

"do not love!"

Li Peifeng's eyes widened, and his tone was raised: "Are you sure?"

Zhao Qingge was impatient: "I don't know!"

Li Peifeng affirmed: "As long as you say it, I will know who to choose on the [-]th."

Zhao Qingge's expression softened a little, but he was still reluctant: "Can't you guess people's thoughts? Why don't you know what I'm thinking?"

"I still have to say it, so I can be more sure!"

"..."

Li Peifeng thought for a moment: "How about this, you don't need to tell me, you write the answer on my palm with your hand... here."

After speaking, Li Peifeng stretched out his hand to Zhao Qingge.

No need to speak, just write?
Zhao Qingge frowned slightly, as if reluctantly accepting it, looked at the hand in front of her, slowly 'take' it, put it in her hand, stretched out her right index finger, as if to write, but the distance was still far away, she retracted it again, turned around He looked at Li Peifeng seriously: "If I write it, you will know how to choose it?"

"Yes!" Li Peifeng nodded firmly, and then added: "But it's best to have three words. The first word is the subject, the second word is the predicate, and the three words are the object."

Contains the subject and object, three words...

Zhao Qingge's expression changed: "I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Then let me tell you again!"

After Li Peifeng finished speaking, his tone slowed down, his eyes stared at Zhao Qingge, the melancholy in his eyes was bottomless, as if he had eaten too much raw fish by the Weska River, his lips were slightly parted, but his tone was as gentle as a nighttime whisper stream;
"I~love~you~"

Some people regard these three words as a promise that is more important than life. It seems that once you say it, you must marry the other party and have children forever. That's why Zhao Qingge was ashamed to say it.

But Li Peifeng believes that it is just telling his feelings at this moment. Life is impermanent. Maybe two people will be separated tomorrow due to some accident, but it does not affect his sincere desire to be with her today. At this moment, the three There is no falsehood in this word.

"..."

【It's so easy, so proficient to say it, so... This villain is really shameless! ! ! ! ! 】

It may be because the air conditioner is getting hotter and hotter. Zhao Qingge's ears were burned red, and the redness continued from the ears, neck, and back. Watching Li Peifeng's eyes changed from the shock at the beginning to a strange light. She dodged for a while, then dodged again, looked out of the car window, pretended to be nonchalant, and said quietly: "I didn't hear, please say it again."

"It's boring for you to play like this!!"

Li Peifeng was a little anxious: "I've said it all, I've confessed it all, and you still..."

Zhao Qingge pursed his lips and said, "I really didn't hear it, please say it again."

"Stop! Don't say good things twice. If you can't write, I'll get out of the car now!"

"……To shut up!"

Zhao Qingge glanced at him, scolded lightly, grabbed Li Peifeng's hand with a little force, pulled the hand into his arms, and put it on his lap. Just as he stretched out his hand as if to write, he seemed to feel that something was wrong. He took out a gold-rimmed glasses from the glasses case above the driver's seat and put them on.

Then, Zhao Duoduo looked very serious, like a primary school student taking a final exam, nervous and uneasy, or like a professor writing an article at his desk, rigorous and meticulous, making pencils with fingers, in front of Li Peifeng On the other side, under the situation witnessed by the other party, he slowly wrote those three words on his palm one by one.

"I love you."

It was very itchy. When Zhao Qingge was writing, Li Peifeng wanted to twitch his hand a little bit, but that was absolutely impossible. He endured it abruptly. When the other party finished writing, he seemed to feel a warm current from the palm of his hand to his own. The left arm, body, right arm, limbs and mind, like fire, virus, infected, a part of Zhao Qingge exists and grows in his body...

"I'm done."

Zhao Qingge sat in a slightly cautious posture, his eyes seemed to be expecting something.

Li Peifeng couldn't help laughing and said: "It's not written in black and white. I didn't see it, and I didn't feel it. Why don't you just say it!"

Zhao Qingge frowned immediately, as if he had returned to his true colors as a strict teacher: "That's your own problem, anyway, I wrote it!"

"Don't tell me?"

Li Peifeng didn't wait for a response, and kissed him again, this time more wildly, until Zhao Qingge was about to suffocate and subconsciously wanted to push him before letting go.

Li pursed his lips unsatisfactorily. The vibrating cell phone in his trouser pocket made him realize that he had stayed so long that some people upstairs were dissatisfied, and he might come down to find him...

"Then I'm leaving? You drive slowly."

Zhao Qingge didn't say anything, panting heavily, glared at him, pressed the switch, and it unlocked successfully with a click.

"See you on the sixth!"

Li Peifeng waved his hand to open the door without taking a souvenir.

But the moment the car door opened, Zhao Qingge pulled his clothes sideways, fixed his eyes on him, and said in a low voice: "Number Seven, you... Otherwise, I will not only delay you, but also..."

It will take a long time, and I haven't said what I need.

Li Peifeng saw the uneasiness and fear hidden deep in Zhao Duoduo's pretendingly strong eyes, and felt the anxiety and expectation in her heart.

Li's heart relented, and after struggling countless times in just half a second, he finally nodded fiercely: "Well, I choose you, you just come when the time comes!"

Zhao Qingge's eyes lit up, but he was not sure: "Are you serious?"

"real!"

Like the phrase "I love you", at least at this moment, Li Peifeng is sincere.

"Then we've agreed, goodbye!"

The next moment, Zhao Qingge drove away with a smile that could not be concealed.

After the BMW walked away, Li Peifeng turned around and went upstairs. As soon as he got to the elevator, he regretted it a bit!
While sitting in the elevator, Li Peifeng thought that he could only be with Zhao Duoduo in the future and keep a distance from the other three, and then thought about the violent reaction of Wu Wenyue and Xu Maning after he announced his choice, and the overbearing boss who was drifting away. Huang Tianxuan...

He completely regrets it!

"Damn it, when can I fix my stinking problem with painting cakes?"

"The guide had eaten before leaving, and I couldn't help but draw a cake to satisfy her hunger on the way... This tenderness... I'm crying to death!"
