Siheyuan diet for men and women
Chapter 529
Chapter 529
"When did you come?"
As Gu Ning walked into the living room, he put the bag in his hand on the cabinet at the door.
Li Xuewu was sitting on the sofa near the door at the moment, when he saw Gu Ning enter the room, he pinched the cigarette butt in his hand.
"It's been a while"
Gu Ning changed into his slippers and walked in, but saw Zhou Yamei wiping her tears and trying to sort out her emotions when she entered the room.
What's going on here?
She looked at Li Xuewu suspiciously, her mind was a little messed up, and she turned cold instantly when she saw this scene.
But seeing Li Xuewu's calmness and Zhou Yamei's silence, Gu Ning knew that he was thinking too much.
Li Xuewu did not explain, took a sip from the teacup, and continued to remain silent.
It wasn't until Gu Ning walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down next to Zhou Yamei that Zhou Yamei covered her face and cried.
Gu Ning seemed to have guessed something, Li Xuewu's arrival here, what made Zhou Yamei cry was nothing more than a piece of news.
She is not very good at comforting people, so she can only pat Zhou Yamei's back lightly at this moment.
Zhou Yamei just cried in a low voice. The string that had been tense for many days was suddenly broken, and she couldn't bear it.
Emotional breakdown is unbearable, even if Zhou Yamei doesn't want Gu Ning to worry about herself.
Li Xuewu didn't take the initiative to tell the news when he came, Zhou Yamei saw it himself.
This woman is a professional, and Li Xuewu knew he couldn't hide it from her, so he didn't want to hide it.
When she met Fu Haibo last time, she knew the approximate sentence, but this time when Li Xuewu came to the door, she was aware of it.
He cried without asking a single question, not wailing, just choking and sobbing.
Li Xuewu knew he couldn't be coaxed well, so he didn't open his mouth, just sat on the sofa silently smoking and drinking tea.
Gu Ning looked at Zhou Yamei, then at Li Xuewu, but Li Xuewu nodded silently.
After sitting for a while, there was movement upstairs, the sound of stepping on the stairs, breaking the sadness in the living room, Zhou Yamei gritted her teeth and suppressed the crying.
"Mom~"
Xu Shi was sleepy, Fu Zhidong came down from the stairs, stood at the corner of the stairs, looked at the living room and let out a dumbfounded cry.
"wake up?"
Li Xuewu took the initiative to stand up and walked towards Fu Zhidong.
"uncle"
"Hehe, when you first came here, your mother said you were sleeping."
Li Xuewu walked up the stairs, flicked Fu Zhidong's head lightly with his hand, and seeing the child's gaze on him, he took him upstairs again.
Fu Zhidong glanced at the living room, followed Li Xuewu up to the second floor and asked with a raised face, "What's wrong with Mom?"
"You know"
Li Xuewu pursed his lips, and said with a helpless expression: "Sometimes women are like this, because they can cry out of a novel, and they are sentimental."
Fu Zhidong just woke up, his little head was still slow to react, he nodded following Li Xuewu's words, and said, "Oh~ this is not the first time."
"Hehe, you have to understand"
Li Xuewu patted Fu Zhidong's small shoulder, and said to this little adult child: "This is a woman's right."
"Ok, I know"
Fu Zhidong nodded in understanding, then pulled on his slippers and followed Li Xuewu into the study room. Seeing his uncle tidying up his things, he sat next to the armchair behind the desk.
"Uncle, you haven't come for several days"
"Really"
Li Xuewu turned his head and looked at Fu Zhidong. At this moment, the child was dangling his calves, because his body was not long enough, he was sitting on the armchair like Ge You lying down.
"Hehe, I'm a little busy at work, how about you?"
"Me too"
Fu Zhidong nodded in understanding, sighed, and said: "After finishing the kindergarten homework, I have to learn foreign languages from my mother, and I have to learn piano from my aunt at night, so I'm a little tired."
"Don't like it?"
Li Xuewu stood by the bookshelf and said, "Then tell mom to study less."
Fu Zhidong yawned again, and said in a somewhat snarky voice: "Forget it, Yanni in our class can speak Russian, and I have to learn one too."
While speaking, he looked at his uncle who was arranging the bookshelves, and asked, "Uncle, do you know foreign languages?"
"A little bit"
Li Xuewu was chatting with Fu Zhidong, and put the collected books on the bookshelf.
Today's books are not as flooded as in later generations, so it can be said that they are very precious.
There are very few pirated copies, and every book is genuine.
It's just that the concept of this version is somewhat different from that of later generations.
"Then what foreign language do you speak?"
Fu Zhidong is a child at heart, and he wants to show off or even compare with people close to him when he acquires new knowledge.
"My mother is teaching me English, and my mother can speak four foreign languages"
"That's your mother's strength"
Li Xuewu replied with a smile: "I only know two subjects."
"Wow!"
Fu Zhidong was surprised as he had never seen the world, which made Li Xuewu a little dumbfounded.
He said that his mother could learn four subjects, but he said that he could learn two subjects, which seemed a little fake.
Fu Zhidong was not embarrassed, he slid down from the chair, walked up to Li Xuewu and raised his face and asked, "Uncle, which two do you know?"
"Russian and English"
Li Xuewu maintains a respectful attitude when talking with children, and does not treat them like children, so Li Xuewu is very popular with children.
Zhou Yamei knew foreign languages and Li Xuewu knew that she didn't learn four languages abroad, nor did she have foreigners in her family, but a product of the times.
The education system of Zhou Yamei's city has undergone several reforms, from Japanese and Korean to English to Russian.
Her family environment is good, and her education environment since she was a child is also good, so she has caught up with these several learning changes.
What's amazing is that Zhou Yamei is very talented in learning. Although she can't be said to be proficient, she is quite successful.
In addition, she got married after graduation, and has been taking care of her children at home all these years, so she has not left behind in her studies.
Li Xuewu admires people who study well, so he still maintains his enthusiasm for learning.
Talent is not enough, work hard to make up.
The books on the bookshelf were bought by him from the market, or sorted out when Lao Biaozi and the others cleaned up the tatters.
It's not for the sake of an academic atmosphere, to set up a bookshelf, but Gu Ning and Zhou Yamei both like to read.
After getting married, he also wanted to read for a while at night.
"Jenny can speak Russian"
Seeing Li Xuewu squatting down, Fu Zhidong also squatted down, saying: "She speaks Russian very difficult to learn, her grandfather just taught her pronunciation."
"What about you, do you remember the letters?"
Li Xuewu also turned around after tidying up, not taking the child as a hindrance, and put away the box on the ground while talking.
"Oh~ it's okay"
Fu Zhidong didn't know whether he had learned it or not, he sighed very seriously.
Chatting with children is like this, maybe he will say something to you, unconstrained and childish.
After Li Xuewu cleaned up the study, he looked at it with his hips on his hips. Several bookshelves were full, and he put some books in the cabinet below. They were all read by Gu Ning and the others.
Fu Zhidong also imitated Li Xuewu with his hips akimbo, and looked at the bookshelf that was much taller than him.
Seeing that Li Xuewu didn't speak, Fu Zhidong turned his head and asked, "Is uncle going to eat here today?"
"will not"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm going to take your aunt out to eat, a romantic world for two."
"romantic!?"
Fu Zhidong was surprised, but he didn't pay attention to the meaning of the two-person world.
"Romantic, the English you learn, Sinicization is romance"
Li Xuewu explained with a smile, and asked, "Do you know what marriage means?"
"Probably know"
Fu Zhidong nodded and said, "It's something that people have to do when they grow up."
Replied in a daze, Fu Zhidong seemed to have thought of something, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Are you and auntie getting married?"
Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Yes."
After answering, Li Xuewu felt that the downstairs was about the same, so he reached out and patted Fu Zhidong on the shoulder, and while walking out, he said: "You should grow up soon, and you can marry the person you like."
"the person I like……?"
Fu Zhidong didn't know if his understanding was the same as what his uncle said, and his little mind was confused by the words of the adults again.
"What are you talking about?"
Zhou Yamei, who had sorted out her emotions, was standing at the corner of the stairs. Seeing that one big and one small seemed to be discussing serious issues, she couldn't help but smile.
Fu Zhidong looked at his mother, there seemed to be something different, his eyes were red, and his smile was a bit forced.
"Talking about getting married"
Fu Zhidong ran down the stairs and said to his mother: "Uncle said that he wants to marry the person he likes."
"Yeah~"
Zhou Yamei smiled and patted her son's head, but she glanced at Li Xuewu who was walking downstairs.
Li Xuewu walked past the couple, squinted at Fu Zhidong and said, "This is a secret between men, young man, you have to learn to keep it secret."
Seeing what his uncle said, Fu Zhidong quickly pursed his lips and made a statement of secrecy.
"Hehehe~"
Li Xuewu smiled and went down the stairs, Gu Ning was sitting on the sofa looking at this side.
The living room is not far from the stairs on the second floor, and what Li Xuewu and Fu Zhidong said can still be heard downstairs.
Gu Ning looked into Li Xuewu's eyes, wondering which of this man's words were true and which were false.
"Has the application been approved?"
Li Xuewu walked to Gu Ning and sat down to ask a question, while holding a teacup.
Gu Ning nodded and said nothing, she didn't know how to face Li Xuewu now.
She can't pretend, let alone hide her emotions.
Li Xuewu didn't pay much attention to Gu Ning's expression, the two sat next to each other, and Zhou Yamei was at home, so he couldn't get too close to Gu Ning.
After taking a sip of tea, Li Xuewu said, "Let's go out to eat tonight, and I'll take you to eat western food."
Gu Ning looked up at Li Xuewu, and said, "I don't want to go, I want to rest."
"what happened?"
Only then did Li Xuewu see that Gu Ning's mood was not high, and asked with concern.
Gu Ning just shook his head without explaining anything.
Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning, and said: "Huang Gan, a classmate in the training class in Jinmen, bought a few tickets for the ballet performance. He brought his wife and asked me to go to see it together, so I wanted to bring you too." .
Gu Ning raised his head again, looked into Li Xuewu's eyes, stared at them for a while, and then asked, "Friend?"
"good friend"
Li Xuewu emphasized, and then laughed: "But because we are good friends, if you feel unwell, I will return the ticket to him."
Gu Ning pursed his lips slightly, and asked again: "Is it tonight?"
"certainly"
Li Xuewu saw that something was wrong with Gu Ning's eyes, he narrowed his left eye slightly, and asked, "Can you tell me what's wrong?"
Gu Ning didn't speak, just looked into Li Xuewu's eyes, then lowered his head and said, "It's nothing, just wait for me, I'll go change my clothes."
After speaking, he stood up and went upstairs.
Li Xuewu's eyes followed Gu Ning's figure until her figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
As Gu Ning's figure disappeared, Li Xuewu's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He is not a fool, let alone a first-timer in love. In terms of sensitivity, he has a wealth of experience.
"Three or four days"
Zhou Yamei sent her son to play in the yard. Seeing Gu Ning go upstairs, she went to the tea table and said softly while packing the tea sets.
Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes and thought about it in his mind.
When he left on Wednesday night, Gu Ning was still fine, saying he was going home to ask his parents for advice.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, what happened?
Li Xuewu didn't know, he didn't pay attention, but something must have happened, otherwise Gu Ning's mood would not have changed.
He didn't think it was Zhou Yamei who said something, nor did he think that Gu Ning cared about Zhou Yamei.
Because Li Xuewu knew that he and Zhou Yamei hadn't really crossed the line at all.
But he hasn't been in contact with anyone these days. Could it be that he heard something?
Zhou Yamei didn't know what to say or how to ask, so she put away the tea set and went out to see the child.
Li Xuewu suddenly asked, "You, do you hate me?"
Zhou Yamei's footsteps were nailed to the ground and she couldn't move.
With his back to Li Xuewu, he couldn't say a word.
After a while, Zhou Yamei turned around trembling, and looked at Li Xuewu, with tears streaming down her face.
"Don't you think it's cruel for me to ask such a question?"
"sorry"
Li Xuewu nodded slightly, and said: "People are in the game, they can't help themselves."
"No"
Zhou Yamei let her tears flow, stood in the living room and looked at Li Xuewu sadly and said: "No one is sorry for anyone, you shouldn't have told me, let me forget it, okay?"
Li Xuewu nodded, he knew that Zhou Yamei could tell that he was telling her this on purpose.
If he doesn't want to express, it's fine if he doesn't come today.
"I don't want to lie to you"
Li Xuewu sighed and said, "I hope you will come out as soon as possible and start a new life well."
Zhou Yamei looked at Li Xuewu for a while, then stopped her tears and wiped her face with a handkerchief.
Fu Zhidong's voice came from the courtyard, Zhou Yamei said "don't mention it again" and went out.
Li Xuewu was famous for being cautious, if Fu Haibo didn't die, nothing would happen if Zhou Yamei was by Gu Ning's side.
But Li Xuewu knew that the date couldn't be concealed, and he didn't feel at ease if he didn't find out the truth in Zhou Yamei's heart.
Just like what he said to Fu Zhidong, women are emotional, and they don't know what choices they will make.
When Gu Ning came back, he was observing Zhou Yamei, until the last test just now, which made Zhou Yamei angry.
Li Xuewu didn't think there was anything wrong, he knew what Zhou Yamei wanted and why he did that to him.
Knowing Zhou Yamei's purpose better, he understands.
No one knows women better than him.
But seeing Zhou Yamei like this, he felt relieved.
He is not afraid of women's purposeful attachment and curry favor, and he is even less afraid of women's utilitarian embrace.
Zhou Yamei is probably a little sad now, because Li Xuewu is so cruel that he never trusted her.
In fact, she is not bad, there are too few people Li Xuewu can trust.
If he had to name a few people he could trust, he might have to count the more than 200 graves in the west of the city.
"What time is the show?"
"seven o'clock"
It was still the same outfit she wore last spring outing, Li Xuewu's eyes lit up, did this girl do it on purpose?
"It's only four o'clock"
Gu Ning ignored Li Xuewu's slightly aggressive gaze and glanced at the clock on the wall.
"Let's eat first"
Li Xuewu stood up with a smile, and said as he walked out: "I know a western restaurant does a good job, let's try it today."
When they arrived in the courtyard, seeing Fu Zhidong playing in the vegetable field and Zhou Yamei standing on the side of the Yong Road lost in thought, Li Xuewu took the initiative to say, "I'll pack a copy for you to bring back tonight."
"no need"
Zhou Yamei turned her head to look at Li Xuewu and the two with a smile, and said, "I'll just deal with the child."
“Then save it for tomorrow”
Li Xuewu didn't say much, and stepped out of the gate first.
Gu Ning walked slower than Li Xuewu, Zhou Yamei held Gu Ning's hand and squeezed it, Gu Ning nodded clearly and followed Li Xuewu out of the gate.
When it comes to western food, Russian-style western food is the most talked about in the Forty-Nine Cities.
We all know the reason, after all, those brats had the best relationship with us a few years ago.
And when it comes to Russian-style western food, Lao Moer is the one who talks the most.
In fact, Lao Moer is not a representative of Russian-style western food, but this place used to be Maozi's exhibition hall.
Because of its own nature, many foreign guests have been received here, so it is yearned for by the children of those big courtyards.
The reason why they yearn for it is also because of the brilliance revealed by their fathers.
Four Nine City has experienced too much, and too many people have come here, and these people have brought the cuisine of their respective ethnic groups and countries.
Forty-Nine City does not have its own special food, because it is inclusive and all-inclusive.
West Chang'an Street was once known as a gourmet street, where the famous Badachun in Sijiu City is located.
In four or five years, a Jinmen businessman opened a western restaurant here.
That is the Dadi western restaurant that Li Xuewu brought Gu Ning to today.
Compared with Old Mo'er, the side of the earth is more simple, with patterned wallpaper on the wall, and a few pillars standing in the middle of the hall.
The difference from Lao Mo is that the service staff and chefs here are all Chinese, which is why Li Xuewu brought Gu Ning here.
His identity and Gu Ning's identity are not suitable to go to Lao Mo'er, don't look at those children from the big courtyard, it's because they have no identity.
Four or six don't know what kind of identity a young man with teeth and claws can have. Their parents have an identity, the same identity as Li Xuewu who needs to learn the confidentiality manual.
Rumor has it that the waiters and cooks at Old Moll's were...
Because Maozi's foreign affairs personnel often go there, and personnel from other foreign embassies also go.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, anyway, Li Xuewu will not get into that trouble just because of a meal.
In the hall are long tables, high-back chairs, and a table for four people.
There were quite a lot of people coming in to see, so Li Xuewu took Gu Ning to find a seat by the window.
Although it is by the window, but the white curtains are drawn, whether it is people outside looking in or people inside looking out, it is faintly visible.
Since it's a western restaurant, it's western-style service. The waiter came over and handed over a menu.
"You have a lot of people here"
"Yes"
Seeing Li Xuewu speak, the waiter replied, "It's Sunday, there are more people."
Li Xuewu handed the menu to Gu Ning and asked her to order first, while he was talking to the waiter.
"What about usual times?"
"One third"
The service attitude of the waiters is not bad. The attributes of the restaurant have determined that the identity of the people who come here to eat must be extraordinary.
It usually costs three or four yuan for two people, which is beyond the reach of ordinary families.
"Grilled mandarin fish with milk, red cabbage soup"
Gu Ning didn't order much, and after ordering, he saw the menu and handed it to Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu asked the waiter without looking at it: "Which dishes are suitable for northern tastes?"
The waiter obviously understood what Li Xuewu meant, and said with a smile, "I suggest you try the canned braised beef. The sweet and sour one should suit you."
"Listen to you"
Li Xuewu smiled with the waiter, and asked again: "Is there anything else?"
The waiter saw that Li Xuewu only wanted to listen to his suggestions, so he accepted the menu and continued: "Our dishes here are heavy in oil and color, mainly sweet, sour, spicy and salty. Why don't you try the milk that this comrade ordered? Grilled mandarin fish with sauce? Grilled pork chops are also good.”
While speaking, he highly recommended the specialty here, garlic bread, to Li Xuewu.
"Hehe, not today"
Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hands, rejecting such a heavy-tasting staple food, and said, "I want to take my partner to the show with my friends later, so you can get me a portion of the grilled mandarin fish and grilled pork chops you mentioned. If you want cabbage soup, if you want bread, you want croissants."
The waiter smiled and said, "I don't like Lieba either, he's stubborn."
After finishing speaking, he asked again: "Do you want wine?"
"is it okay?"
Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning, then smiled and said to the waiter: "Come to a bottle of fruit bar, grapes are fine."
"Hold on"
The waiter must be watching people order the dishes. If you don't come here to eat, you won't care about it.
On the contrary, because the price of vegetables here is higher, there are more people who care about it.
They are also human beings, they are service workers, and the less troubles the customers have, the better. What they like most is that Li Xuewu doesn't ask about the price, and doesn't care about the difference between the dishes and the price.
Especially Li Xuewu, who took the initiative to chat a few words, respected them more, and it was easier to get a smile.
Gu Ning is used to it, and he is not surprised that Li Xuewu can joke with the waiter in a few words.
"Have you ever been here?"
"No"
Gu Ning shook his head and said, "I rarely go out to eat."
“It's my first time here”
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "This is something I didn't even dare to think about before."
While speaking, he picked up the silver knife and fork on the table and said, "This kind of aristocratic dining tool has given me a different experience."
Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "What were you like before?"
Seeing Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, Gu Ning asked additionally: "I mean your life."
"Including love life?"
Li Xuewu looked into Gu Ning's eyes and asked back.
Gu Ning didn't speak, just looked at Li Xuewu.
"All right"
Li Xuewu smiled and said: "It's time to confess and be lenient."
He raised his hands helplessly, expressing his abandonment of resistance.
Gu Ning leaned back slightly on the back of the chair, and said, "If you can say it."
"Nothing can't be said"
Following Gu Ning's words, without giving Gu Ning time to pause, Li Xuewu replied: "It's just that you haven't asked, I thought you were not interested."
After speaking, he moved his chair, and the waiter who brought the wine helped them pour the fruit wine.
After thanking the waiter, he watched the waiter put away the wine bottle and left before continuing: "My life was not so difficult, but I was not rich either. I must have eaten, and you should know the situation."
Talking about his life as a child, Li Xuewu continued: "Maybe I have experienced starvation, or maybe I hate poverty. I am a little greedy."
"Like feelings?"
Gu Ning already guessed what Li Xuewu was going to say.
"Oh, yes"
Li Xuewu nodded generously and admitted: "This will be discussed in several stages."
While Li Xuewu and Li Xuewu were talking, relatively simple red cabbage soup and bread were served.
Other big dishes will have to wait a while.
Li Xuewu touched Gu Ning with the wine glass, ignored that Gu Ning didn't drink, and took a sip to moisten his mouth first.
"The first stage is the beginning of love, the second stage is when a hundred flowers bloom, the third stage is playing in the world, etc., which one do you want to hear?"
Gu Ning stared at Li Xuewu, exhaling from his nostrils was a little rough.
This bastard!
But that's what she asked, and I can't compare with the villain on the opposite side.
"Which stage do I belong to?"
"you?"
Li Xuewu looked at the serious Gu Ning with a funny face, and said, "I think it must have entered the enemy's camp by mistake."
"Then I should kill you"
Gu Ning glared at Li Xuewu pretending to be fierce.
Li Xuewu smiled even more happily, looking at Gu Ning, he was about to turn into anger, and said: "I'm kidding, who didn't have many good female classmates when I was young."
"Except for the female classmates?"
Gu Ning obviously cared about what Li Xuewu said, so he couldn't help asking.
"Of course, senior girls, or those who have already graduated"
Li Xuewu paused when he said this, raised his eyebrows, and signaled to Gu Ning that everyone understands this.
"However, you also know that teenagers say and act like that young man. They are relatively naive and not worth describing. It is better to keep them as memories."
Gu Ning didn't care about Li Xuewu's childhood, she knew that the children in the alley were different from their childhood.
She is not a child, and she will not go after those unreasonable troubles in the past. What she is entangled with is the present.
Of course Li Xuewu knew what Gu Ning cared about, he was deliberately gagging, talking about these past things.
Gu Ning didn't know how to ask, nor did he know what his reaction should be when he asked.
Li Xuewu didn't expect this sensitive girl to care about him so much, so he couldn't help laughing.
Gu Ning was hesitating and struggling, but he didn't expect the villain on the opposite side to laugh!
"Hehehe"
Li Xuewu smiled and took the wine glass to clink glasses with Gu Ning again, Gu Ning was so angry that he moved the wine glass on the table and refused to let Li Xuewu touch it.
Li Xuewu laughed even more happily, and he didn't dare to drink the wine for fear of spewing it out.
Gu Ning glared at Li Xuewu angrily, and said, "Am I ridiculous?"
"Oh, not really"
Li Xuewu waved his hand, held back his smile, and said, "It's just kind of cute."
Gu Ning simply ignored the villain's rhetoric, she knew that this person always had something to say.
Li Xuewu calmed down and took a sip of wine, said: "Did someone tell you something about me?"
Gu Ning looked into Li Xuewu's eyes, paused, and asked, "What can someone tell me?"
"That's a lot"
Li Xuewu said calmly: "I can't even remember the bad things I did, why don't you remind me and I'll tell you about it?"
Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu and felt that he was the one who strayed into the enemy camp.
"do you like me?"
Li Xuewu didn't expect Gu Ning to ask this question, just like the last time at the villa gate.
Gu Ning stared into Li Xuewu's eyes and said: "I don't expect eternal love, but I also don't want to have a marriage without warmth. Compared with the scarred silence, I hope that each other can keep some dignity."
Li Xuewu leaned forward, put his elbows on the table, and said very seriously: "I have never lied to you, including your question I answered last time."
Gu Ning looked into Li Xuewu's eyes seriously, and the two stalemate for a while, Gu Ning asked, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure"
Li Xuewu looked into Gu Ning's eyes and said: "If you want to know what I am doing now, anything".
Moved the wine glass in front of him, and leaned forward again, so that Gu Ning could clearly see his eyes.
"I will tell you without reservation"
"unnecessary"
Gu Ning shook his head with certainty, stirred the red cabbage soup in the bowl with a spoon, and said, "I have my request, and you also have your responsibility."
Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning, the current Gu Ning was the Gu Ning he saw on the operating table for the first time.
"Then shall we have dinner?"
"the last time"
Gu Ning nodded and said: "This is the last time I will confirm with you how you feel about me."
Li Xuewu stretched out his hand and said to Gu Ning, "Please take care of me for the rest of my life."
Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu, put down the spoon in his hand, stretched out his hand, and put it in Li Xuewu's big palm.
"When you see a gentleman, you don't trust each other"
"Thank you Ms. Gu"
"Thank you Mr. Lee"
The waiter was standing in the aisle with the plate, wondering if he should go over to serve the food, what are the two over there doing?
Didn't you just talk about the object!
Why does it look like a business deal again!
Marriage itself is a transaction, Li Xuewu is willing to give his heart, and Gu Ning is willing to give his heart.
Li Xuewu agrees with Gu Ning's point of view that marriage and love are two different things, but marriage does not mean that there is no emotion.
If marriage is to maintain dignity, then marriage is a long-term publicity.
The braised beef in Dadi Western Restaurant is really good, but it is not as good as the grilled mandarin fish with milk sauce.
It's not that the chef's craftsmanship is not good, but the material.
Beef is very scarce at this time. Don't look at Li Xuewu and the others pulling back one train after another, but very few actually form a supply chain.
Li Xuewu felt that the beef seemed to be a canned product, and he didn't like it.
Of course, don't be picky at this time, the five dollars can be regarded as a taste of the top food in the eyes of the common people in Sijiu City.
Listening to Li Xuewu nagging and commenting on the dishes just now, Gu Ning walked beside Li Xuewu and calmed down the entangled mood of the past three days.
“The bread is delicious”
"Hehe, I said that this Russian-style western food is not tasty, but it doesn't mean that Russian-style western food is really bad."
Li Xuewu turned his head to look at Gu Ning and said: "I want to order Caspian Sea sturgeon caviar, he must say I'm pretending to beep."
"Pfft~"
Gu Ning couldn't help laughing when he heard Li Xuewu's words, covered his mouth with his hand, and then glanced at Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu didn't care about Gu Ning's slightly angry eyes, and continued: "The serious Russian-style western food is still very rich, at least more luxurious than French-style western food."
Gu Ning pursed his lips, followed Li Xuewu to the side of the car, and replied, "It's as if you've eaten it before."
"This is called a scholar who knows the affairs of the world without going out."
Li Xuewu jumped into the jeep and started the fire. It was still bright and there were quite a few pedestrians on the road.
They all go out shopping in their free time on Sundays, and those who have some money make an appointment to come here for a tooth-beating festival.
There is only one family left in Badachun, but the dishes are absolutely authentic.
Gu Ning got into the car with his skirt in his arms, and said, "I've read the titles and catalogs of all the books on the bookshelf, why haven't I seen them written?"
"Look, you've gone astray, haven't you~"
Li Xuewu made a joke, stepped on the accelerator and drove the jeep on the road, and said with a smile: "Mencius said: It is better to have no books than to believe in books. Read the knowledge in the book in your mind, and the one who sums up is yourself." of".
Gu Ning curled her lips, she couldn't compete with Li Xuewu, she chose to ignore his boast.
Li Xuewu took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Gu Ning.
Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu, reached out to take it, and asked, "What?"
"Show Ticket"
Li Xuewu said while driving: "When you see Huang Qian and his wife in a while, you will say that you got the ticket."
Gu Ning looked at the four tickets in the envelope, turned to Li Xuewu and asked, "Why do you say that?"
What Li Xuewu told her just now was that his classmate got the tickets, and he did this to deceive his classmate's wife?
Gu Ning was unwilling to lie, so he wanted to return the envelope to Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu turned his head to look at Gu Ning, smiled, did not take it back, and explained: "His name is Huang Gan, and he works in Dongcheng No. [-] prison. He also has a younger sister who is also our classmate and works in the ministry."
Gu Ning understood, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "So you stole his sister's ticket?"
"how is this possible"
Li Xuewu said aggrievedly: "He took the initiative to ask me out, and wanted to ask his wife to meet you."
Seeing that Li Xuewu would not accept it, Gu Ning took it in his hand.
Li Xuewu continued: "As I said, I won't lie to you, but his wife and his sister have a better relationship. Isn't this to reduce embarrassment."
"I will not say"
Gu Ning didn't join Li Xuewu and the others in playing tricks, men are not good things.
"Okay, okay, I'll just say I got it"
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "If I said that, his wife must think I did it on purpose."
Gu Ning doesn't want to listen to this person's explanation, his mouth will speak.
When the vehicle came to the theater, there were already many people at the door.
A group of three and a group of five were chattering excitedly about something.
In fact, is the art form of ballet elegant or not?
Li Xuewu didn't know, his understanding of art was superficial.
He doesn't understand Peking opera, he doesn't like it, and he has watched a lot of movies, thrilling, twists and turns, and he is used to it and has immunity.
Listening to cross talk through Little Monsters every night is enough to enrich entertainment life.
It was the first time in his two lives that he watched ballet in such a formal way, and his understanding of ballet in his impression was the music and video of that little swan.
The jeep parked directly in the open space in front of the theater building, and the bicycle custodian took a look at it, but didn't dare to come over.
Li Xuewu jumped out of the car, raised his eyebrows and looked at the young people who were looking this way, then turned around to take Gu Ning's hand.
The combination of the two is very eye-catching, and the people gathered at the door are all young people who come to catch up with the fashion.
To put it bluntly, there is an extreme lack of entertainment in this era, but they are willing to join in any lively entertainment, no matter whether it is elegant or vulgar.
Li Xuewu ignored these probing gazes, and led Gu Ning inside, revealing the gun holster under the corner of his clothes.
Those with treacherous eyes had already turned their heads away from this direction, and those who were still staring were also reminded by their companions.
Li Xuewu was not easy to mess with, and he came in a jeep with a guy on his body. These people knew that this was a big shining iron plate, and they couldn't kick it.
Gu Ning didn't understand why Li Xuewu did this, but she knew there must be a reason for him to do so.
As she said, she doesn't want to know what Li Xuewu is doing, as long as Li Xuewu knows how to be responsible.
In fact, Li Xuewu was also playing insurance. Most of the children at the door didn't get tickets, so they squatted here to touch porcelain.
If you catch someone, or if you're a wimp, you can blackmail one.
Li Xuewu was afraid that these bastards couldn't find a ticket to vent their anger on his car, piss, throw bricks, and cause damage. These grandsons can do anything.
Entering the hall, I saw Huang Gan talking and laughing with a woman with big wavy hair.
Well, it must be Mrs. Huang, otherwise, with Huang Qian's courage, it would be impossible to flirt with other women today.
"Haha, these are siblings!"
Seeing Li Xuewu bringing Gu Ning in, Huang Gan greeted him with a smile.
Li Xuewu also smiled and introduced to Gu Ning: "This is my good friend, Huang Gan."
Gu Ning nodded with a smile.
Li Xuewu saw Huang Gan's daughter-in-law turned around and looked this way, so he also greeted with a smile: "Hello, brother and sister, I am Huang Gan's friend, and my name is Li Xuewu."
Huang Gan's daughter-in-law rolled her eyes, smiled and stretched out her hand, and said, "How did you rent this?"
Li Xuewu: "Everyone rents their own!"
Huang Gan: "Everyone rents their own!"
……
"Are you children?"
Huang Gan's daughter-in-law shook hands with Li Xuewu when she saw the two men who were out of shape, and introduced herself, "Su Youfang, I've heard about you for a long time."
"That must be Huang Gan speaking ill of me."
Li Xuewu smiled and let go of Su Youfang's hand, and introduced to Huang Qian and the other two: "My partner, Gu Ning".
Su Youfang saw Gu Ning's character, she extended her hand with a generous smile, and said, "Hi, I heard from Huang Gan that you and Li Xuewu were destined to fall in love at first sight."
Gu Ning glanced at Li Xuewu, smiled and said: "The story must be very exciting."
(End of this chapter)
"When did you come?"
As Gu Ning walked into the living room, he put the bag in his hand on the cabinet at the door.
Li Xuewu was sitting on the sofa near the door at the moment, when he saw Gu Ning enter the room, he pinched the cigarette butt in his hand.
"It's been a while"
Gu Ning changed into his slippers and walked in, but saw Zhou Yamei wiping her tears and trying to sort out her emotions when she entered the room.
What's going on here?
She looked at Li Xuewu suspiciously, her mind was a little messed up, and she turned cold instantly when she saw this scene.
But seeing Li Xuewu's calmness and Zhou Yamei's silence, Gu Ning knew that he was thinking too much.
Li Xuewu did not explain, took a sip from the teacup, and continued to remain silent.
It wasn't until Gu Ning walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down next to Zhou Yamei that Zhou Yamei covered her face and cried.
Gu Ning seemed to have guessed something, Li Xuewu's arrival here, what made Zhou Yamei cry was nothing more than a piece of news.
She is not very good at comforting people, so she can only pat Zhou Yamei's back lightly at this moment.
Zhou Yamei just cried in a low voice. The string that had been tense for many days was suddenly broken, and she couldn't bear it.
Emotional breakdown is unbearable, even if Zhou Yamei doesn't want Gu Ning to worry about herself.
Li Xuewu didn't take the initiative to tell the news when he came, Zhou Yamei saw it himself.
This woman is a professional, and Li Xuewu knew he couldn't hide it from her, so he didn't want to hide it.
When she met Fu Haibo last time, she knew the approximate sentence, but this time when Li Xuewu came to the door, she was aware of it.
He cried without asking a single question, not wailing, just choking and sobbing.
Li Xuewu knew he couldn't be coaxed well, so he didn't open his mouth, just sat on the sofa silently smoking and drinking tea.
Gu Ning looked at Zhou Yamei, then at Li Xuewu, but Li Xuewu nodded silently.
After sitting for a while, there was movement upstairs, the sound of stepping on the stairs, breaking the sadness in the living room, Zhou Yamei gritted her teeth and suppressed the crying.
"Mom~"
Xu Shi was sleepy, Fu Zhidong came down from the stairs, stood at the corner of the stairs, looked at the living room and let out a dumbfounded cry.
"wake up?"
Li Xuewu took the initiative to stand up and walked towards Fu Zhidong.
"uncle"
"Hehe, when you first came here, your mother said you were sleeping."
Li Xuewu walked up the stairs, flicked Fu Zhidong's head lightly with his hand, and seeing the child's gaze on him, he took him upstairs again.
Fu Zhidong glanced at the living room, followed Li Xuewu up to the second floor and asked with a raised face, "What's wrong with Mom?"
"You know"
Li Xuewu pursed his lips, and said with a helpless expression: "Sometimes women are like this, because they can cry out of a novel, and they are sentimental."
Fu Zhidong just woke up, his little head was still slow to react, he nodded following Li Xuewu's words, and said, "Oh~ this is not the first time."
"Hehe, you have to understand"
Li Xuewu patted Fu Zhidong's small shoulder, and said to this little adult child: "This is a woman's right."
"Ok, I know"
Fu Zhidong nodded in understanding, then pulled on his slippers and followed Li Xuewu into the study room. Seeing his uncle tidying up his things, he sat next to the armchair behind the desk.
"Uncle, you haven't come for several days"
"Really"
Li Xuewu turned his head and looked at Fu Zhidong. At this moment, the child was dangling his calves, because his body was not long enough, he was sitting on the armchair like Ge You lying down.
"Hehe, I'm a little busy at work, how about you?"
"Me too"
Fu Zhidong nodded in understanding, sighed, and said: "After finishing the kindergarten homework, I have to learn foreign languages from my mother, and I have to learn piano from my aunt at night, so I'm a little tired."
"Don't like it?"
Li Xuewu stood by the bookshelf and said, "Then tell mom to study less."
Fu Zhidong yawned again, and said in a somewhat snarky voice: "Forget it, Yanni in our class can speak Russian, and I have to learn one too."
While speaking, he looked at his uncle who was arranging the bookshelves, and asked, "Uncle, do you know foreign languages?"
"A little bit"
Li Xuewu was chatting with Fu Zhidong, and put the collected books on the bookshelf.
Today's books are not as flooded as in later generations, so it can be said that they are very precious.
There are very few pirated copies, and every book is genuine.
It's just that the concept of this version is somewhat different from that of later generations.
"Then what foreign language do you speak?"
Fu Zhidong is a child at heart, and he wants to show off or even compare with people close to him when he acquires new knowledge.
"My mother is teaching me English, and my mother can speak four foreign languages"
"That's your mother's strength"
Li Xuewu replied with a smile: "I only know two subjects."
"Wow!"
Fu Zhidong was surprised as he had never seen the world, which made Li Xuewu a little dumbfounded.
He said that his mother could learn four subjects, but he said that he could learn two subjects, which seemed a little fake.
Fu Zhidong was not embarrassed, he slid down from the chair, walked up to Li Xuewu and raised his face and asked, "Uncle, which two do you know?"
"Russian and English"
Li Xuewu maintains a respectful attitude when talking with children, and does not treat them like children, so Li Xuewu is very popular with children.
Zhou Yamei knew foreign languages and Li Xuewu knew that she didn't learn four languages abroad, nor did she have foreigners in her family, but a product of the times.
The education system of Zhou Yamei's city has undergone several reforms, from Japanese and Korean to English to Russian.
Her family environment is good, and her education environment since she was a child is also good, so she has caught up with these several learning changes.
What's amazing is that Zhou Yamei is very talented in learning. Although she can't be said to be proficient, she is quite successful.
In addition, she got married after graduation, and has been taking care of her children at home all these years, so she has not left behind in her studies.
Li Xuewu admires people who study well, so he still maintains his enthusiasm for learning.
Talent is not enough, work hard to make up.
The books on the bookshelf were bought by him from the market, or sorted out when Lao Biaozi and the others cleaned up the tatters.
It's not for the sake of an academic atmosphere, to set up a bookshelf, but Gu Ning and Zhou Yamei both like to read.
After getting married, he also wanted to read for a while at night.
"Jenny can speak Russian"
Seeing Li Xuewu squatting down, Fu Zhidong also squatted down, saying: "She speaks Russian very difficult to learn, her grandfather just taught her pronunciation."
"What about you, do you remember the letters?"
Li Xuewu also turned around after tidying up, not taking the child as a hindrance, and put away the box on the ground while talking.
"Oh~ it's okay"
Fu Zhidong didn't know whether he had learned it or not, he sighed very seriously.
Chatting with children is like this, maybe he will say something to you, unconstrained and childish.
After Li Xuewu cleaned up the study, he looked at it with his hips on his hips. Several bookshelves were full, and he put some books in the cabinet below. They were all read by Gu Ning and the others.
Fu Zhidong also imitated Li Xuewu with his hips akimbo, and looked at the bookshelf that was much taller than him.
Seeing that Li Xuewu didn't speak, Fu Zhidong turned his head and asked, "Is uncle going to eat here today?"
"will not"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm going to take your aunt out to eat, a romantic world for two."
"romantic!?"
Fu Zhidong was surprised, but he didn't pay attention to the meaning of the two-person world.
"Romantic, the English you learn, Sinicization is romance"
Li Xuewu explained with a smile, and asked, "Do you know what marriage means?"
"Probably know"
Fu Zhidong nodded and said, "It's something that people have to do when they grow up."
Replied in a daze, Fu Zhidong seemed to have thought of something, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Are you and auntie getting married?"
Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Yes."
After answering, Li Xuewu felt that the downstairs was about the same, so he reached out and patted Fu Zhidong on the shoulder, and while walking out, he said: "You should grow up soon, and you can marry the person you like."
"the person I like……?"
Fu Zhidong didn't know if his understanding was the same as what his uncle said, and his little mind was confused by the words of the adults again.
"What are you talking about?"
Zhou Yamei, who had sorted out her emotions, was standing at the corner of the stairs. Seeing that one big and one small seemed to be discussing serious issues, she couldn't help but smile.
Fu Zhidong looked at his mother, there seemed to be something different, his eyes were red, and his smile was a bit forced.
"Talking about getting married"
Fu Zhidong ran down the stairs and said to his mother: "Uncle said that he wants to marry the person he likes."
"Yeah~"
Zhou Yamei smiled and patted her son's head, but she glanced at Li Xuewu who was walking downstairs.
Li Xuewu walked past the couple, squinted at Fu Zhidong and said, "This is a secret between men, young man, you have to learn to keep it secret."
Seeing what his uncle said, Fu Zhidong quickly pursed his lips and made a statement of secrecy.
"Hehehe~"
Li Xuewu smiled and went down the stairs, Gu Ning was sitting on the sofa looking at this side.
The living room is not far from the stairs on the second floor, and what Li Xuewu and Fu Zhidong said can still be heard downstairs.
Gu Ning looked into Li Xuewu's eyes, wondering which of this man's words were true and which were false.
"Has the application been approved?"
Li Xuewu walked to Gu Ning and sat down to ask a question, while holding a teacup.
Gu Ning nodded and said nothing, she didn't know how to face Li Xuewu now.
She can't pretend, let alone hide her emotions.
Li Xuewu didn't pay much attention to Gu Ning's expression, the two sat next to each other, and Zhou Yamei was at home, so he couldn't get too close to Gu Ning.
After taking a sip of tea, Li Xuewu said, "Let's go out to eat tonight, and I'll take you to eat western food."
Gu Ning looked up at Li Xuewu, and said, "I don't want to go, I want to rest."
"what happened?"
Only then did Li Xuewu see that Gu Ning's mood was not high, and asked with concern.
Gu Ning just shook his head without explaining anything.
Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning, and said: "Huang Gan, a classmate in the training class in Jinmen, bought a few tickets for the ballet performance. He brought his wife and asked me to go to see it together, so I wanted to bring you too." .
Gu Ning raised his head again, looked into Li Xuewu's eyes, stared at them for a while, and then asked, "Friend?"
"good friend"
Li Xuewu emphasized, and then laughed: "But because we are good friends, if you feel unwell, I will return the ticket to him."
Gu Ning pursed his lips slightly, and asked again: "Is it tonight?"
"certainly"
Li Xuewu saw that something was wrong with Gu Ning's eyes, he narrowed his left eye slightly, and asked, "Can you tell me what's wrong?"
Gu Ning didn't speak, just looked into Li Xuewu's eyes, then lowered his head and said, "It's nothing, just wait for me, I'll go change my clothes."
After speaking, he stood up and went upstairs.
Li Xuewu's eyes followed Gu Ning's figure until her figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
As Gu Ning's figure disappeared, Li Xuewu's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He is not a fool, let alone a first-timer in love. In terms of sensitivity, he has a wealth of experience.
"Three or four days"
Zhou Yamei sent her son to play in the yard. Seeing Gu Ning go upstairs, she went to the tea table and said softly while packing the tea sets.
Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes and thought about it in his mind.
When he left on Wednesday night, Gu Ning was still fine, saying he was going home to ask his parents for advice.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, what happened?
Li Xuewu didn't know, he didn't pay attention, but something must have happened, otherwise Gu Ning's mood would not have changed.
He didn't think it was Zhou Yamei who said something, nor did he think that Gu Ning cared about Zhou Yamei.
Because Li Xuewu knew that he and Zhou Yamei hadn't really crossed the line at all.
But he hasn't been in contact with anyone these days. Could it be that he heard something?
Zhou Yamei didn't know what to say or how to ask, so she put away the tea set and went out to see the child.
Li Xuewu suddenly asked, "You, do you hate me?"
Zhou Yamei's footsteps were nailed to the ground and she couldn't move.
With his back to Li Xuewu, he couldn't say a word.
After a while, Zhou Yamei turned around trembling, and looked at Li Xuewu, with tears streaming down her face.
"Don't you think it's cruel for me to ask such a question?"
"sorry"
Li Xuewu nodded slightly, and said: "People are in the game, they can't help themselves."
"No"
Zhou Yamei let her tears flow, stood in the living room and looked at Li Xuewu sadly and said: "No one is sorry for anyone, you shouldn't have told me, let me forget it, okay?"
Li Xuewu nodded, he knew that Zhou Yamei could tell that he was telling her this on purpose.
If he doesn't want to express, it's fine if he doesn't come today.
"I don't want to lie to you"
Li Xuewu sighed and said, "I hope you will come out as soon as possible and start a new life well."
Zhou Yamei looked at Li Xuewu for a while, then stopped her tears and wiped her face with a handkerchief.
Fu Zhidong's voice came from the courtyard, Zhou Yamei said "don't mention it again" and went out.
Li Xuewu was famous for being cautious, if Fu Haibo didn't die, nothing would happen if Zhou Yamei was by Gu Ning's side.
But Li Xuewu knew that the date couldn't be concealed, and he didn't feel at ease if he didn't find out the truth in Zhou Yamei's heart.
Just like what he said to Fu Zhidong, women are emotional, and they don't know what choices they will make.
When Gu Ning came back, he was observing Zhou Yamei, until the last test just now, which made Zhou Yamei angry.
Li Xuewu didn't think there was anything wrong, he knew what Zhou Yamei wanted and why he did that to him.
Knowing Zhou Yamei's purpose better, he understands.
No one knows women better than him.
But seeing Zhou Yamei like this, he felt relieved.
He is not afraid of women's purposeful attachment and curry favor, and he is even less afraid of women's utilitarian embrace.
Zhou Yamei is probably a little sad now, because Li Xuewu is so cruel that he never trusted her.
In fact, she is not bad, there are too few people Li Xuewu can trust.
If he had to name a few people he could trust, he might have to count the more than 200 graves in the west of the city.
"What time is the show?"
"seven o'clock"
It was still the same outfit she wore last spring outing, Li Xuewu's eyes lit up, did this girl do it on purpose?
"It's only four o'clock"
Gu Ning ignored Li Xuewu's slightly aggressive gaze and glanced at the clock on the wall.
"Let's eat first"
Li Xuewu stood up with a smile, and said as he walked out: "I know a western restaurant does a good job, let's try it today."
When they arrived in the courtyard, seeing Fu Zhidong playing in the vegetable field and Zhou Yamei standing on the side of the Yong Road lost in thought, Li Xuewu took the initiative to say, "I'll pack a copy for you to bring back tonight."
"no need"
Zhou Yamei turned her head to look at Li Xuewu and the two with a smile, and said, "I'll just deal with the child."
“Then save it for tomorrow”
Li Xuewu didn't say much, and stepped out of the gate first.
Gu Ning walked slower than Li Xuewu, Zhou Yamei held Gu Ning's hand and squeezed it, Gu Ning nodded clearly and followed Li Xuewu out of the gate.
When it comes to western food, Russian-style western food is the most talked about in the Forty-Nine Cities.
We all know the reason, after all, those brats had the best relationship with us a few years ago.
And when it comes to Russian-style western food, Lao Moer is the one who talks the most.
In fact, Lao Moer is not a representative of Russian-style western food, but this place used to be Maozi's exhibition hall.
Because of its own nature, many foreign guests have been received here, so it is yearned for by the children of those big courtyards.
The reason why they yearn for it is also because of the brilliance revealed by their fathers.
Four Nine City has experienced too much, and too many people have come here, and these people have brought the cuisine of their respective ethnic groups and countries.
Forty-Nine City does not have its own special food, because it is inclusive and all-inclusive.
West Chang'an Street was once known as a gourmet street, where the famous Badachun in Sijiu City is located.
In four or five years, a Jinmen businessman opened a western restaurant here.
That is the Dadi western restaurant that Li Xuewu brought Gu Ning to today.
Compared with Old Mo'er, the side of the earth is more simple, with patterned wallpaper on the wall, and a few pillars standing in the middle of the hall.
The difference from Lao Mo is that the service staff and chefs here are all Chinese, which is why Li Xuewu brought Gu Ning here.
His identity and Gu Ning's identity are not suitable to go to Lao Mo'er, don't look at those children from the big courtyard, it's because they have no identity.
Four or six don't know what kind of identity a young man with teeth and claws can have. Their parents have an identity, the same identity as Li Xuewu who needs to learn the confidentiality manual.
Rumor has it that the waiters and cooks at Old Moll's were...
Because Maozi's foreign affairs personnel often go there, and personnel from other foreign embassies also go.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, anyway, Li Xuewu will not get into that trouble just because of a meal.
In the hall are long tables, high-back chairs, and a table for four people.
There were quite a lot of people coming in to see, so Li Xuewu took Gu Ning to find a seat by the window.
Although it is by the window, but the white curtains are drawn, whether it is people outside looking in or people inside looking out, it is faintly visible.
Since it's a western restaurant, it's western-style service. The waiter came over and handed over a menu.
"You have a lot of people here"
"Yes"
Seeing Li Xuewu speak, the waiter replied, "It's Sunday, there are more people."
Li Xuewu handed the menu to Gu Ning and asked her to order first, while he was talking to the waiter.
"What about usual times?"
"One third"
The service attitude of the waiters is not bad. The attributes of the restaurant have determined that the identity of the people who come here to eat must be extraordinary.
It usually costs three or four yuan for two people, which is beyond the reach of ordinary families.
"Grilled mandarin fish with milk, red cabbage soup"
Gu Ning didn't order much, and after ordering, he saw the menu and handed it to Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu asked the waiter without looking at it: "Which dishes are suitable for northern tastes?"
The waiter obviously understood what Li Xuewu meant, and said with a smile, "I suggest you try the canned braised beef. The sweet and sour one should suit you."
"Listen to you"
Li Xuewu smiled with the waiter, and asked again: "Is there anything else?"
The waiter saw that Li Xuewu only wanted to listen to his suggestions, so he accepted the menu and continued: "Our dishes here are heavy in oil and color, mainly sweet, sour, spicy and salty. Why don't you try the milk that this comrade ordered? Grilled mandarin fish with sauce? Grilled pork chops are also good.”
While speaking, he highly recommended the specialty here, garlic bread, to Li Xuewu.
"Hehe, not today"
Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hands, rejecting such a heavy-tasting staple food, and said, "I want to take my partner to the show with my friends later, so you can get me a portion of the grilled mandarin fish and grilled pork chops you mentioned. If you want cabbage soup, if you want bread, you want croissants."
The waiter smiled and said, "I don't like Lieba either, he's stubborn."
After finishing speaking, he asked again: "Do you want wine?"
"is it okay?"
Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning, then smiled and said to the waiter: "Come to a bottle of fruit bar, grapes are fine."
"Hold on"
The waiter must be watching people order the dishes. If you don't come here to eat, you won't care about it.
On the contrary, because the price of vegetables here is higher, there are more people who care about it.
They are also human beings, they are service workers, and the less troubles the customers have, the better. What they like most is that Li Xuewu doesn't ask about the price, and doesn't care about the difference between the dishes and the price.
Especially Li Xuewu, who took the initiative to chat a few words, respected them more, and it was easier to get a smile.
Gu Ning is used to it, and he is not surprised that Li Xuewu can joke with the waiter in a few words.
"Have you ever been here?"
"No"
Gu Ning shook his head and said, "I rarely go out to eat."
“It's my first time here”
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "This is something I didn't even dare to think about before."
While speaking, he picked up the silver knife and fork on the table and said, "This kind of aristocratic dining tool has given me a different experience."
Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "What were you like before?"
Seeing Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, Gu Ning asked additionally: "I mean your life."
"Including love life?"
Li Xuewu looked into Gu Ning's eyes and asked back.
Gu Ning didn't speak, just looked at Li Xuewu.
"All right"
Li Xuewu smiled and said: "It's time to confess and be lenient."
He raised his hands helplessly, expressing his abandonment of resistance.
Gu Ning leaned back slightly on the back of the chair, and said, "If you can say it."
"Nothing can't be said"
Following Gu Ning's words, without giving Gu Ning time to pause, Li Xuewu replied: "It's just that you haven't asked, I thought you were not interested."
After speaking, he moved his chair, and the waiter who brought the wine helped them pour the fruit wine.
After thanking the waiter, he watched the waiter put away the wine bottle and left before continuing: "My life was not so difficult, but I was not rich either. I must have eaten, and you should know the situation."
Talking about his life as a child, Li Xuewu continued: "Maybe I have experienced starvation, or maybe I hate poverty. I am a little greedy."
"Like feelings?"
Gu Ning already guessed what Li Xuewu was going to say.
"Oh, yes"
Li Xuewu nodded generously and admitted: "This will be discussed in several stages."
While Li Xuewu and Li Xuewu were talking, relatively simple red cabbage soup and bread were served.
Other big dishes will have to wait a while.
Li Xuewu touched Gu Ning with the wine glass, ignored that Gu Ning didn't drink, and took a sip to moisten his mouth first.
"The first stage is the beginning of love, the second stage is when a hundred flowers bloom, the third stage is playing in the world, etc., which one do you want to hear?"
Gu Ning stared at Li Xuewu, exhaling from his nostrils was a little rough.
This bastard!
But that's what she asked, and I can't compare with the villain on the opposite side.
"Which stage do I belong to?"
"you?"
Li Xuewu looked at the serious Gu Ning with a funny face, and said, "I think it must have entered the enemy's camp by mistake."
"Then I should kill you"
Gu Ning glared at Li Xuewu pretending to be fierce.
Li Xuewu smiled even more happily, looking at Gu Ning, he was about to turn into anger, and said: "I'm kidding, who didn't have many good female classmates when I was young."
"Except for the female classmates?"
Gu Ning obviously cared about what Li Xuewu said, so he couldn't help asking.
"Of course, senior girls, or those who have already graduated"
Li Xuewu paused when he said this, raised his eyebrows, and signaled to Gu Ning that everyone understands this.
"However, you also know that teenagers say and act like that young man. They are relatively naive and not worth describing. It is better to keep them as memories."
Gu Ning didn't care about Li Xuewu's childhood, she knew that the children in the alley were different from their childhood.
She is not a child, and she will not go after those unreasonable troubles in the past. What she is entangled with is the present.
Of course Li Xuewu knew what Gu Ning cared about, he was deliberately gagging, talking about these past things.
Gu Ning didn't know how to ask, nor did he know what his reaction should be when he asked.
Li Xuewu didn't expect this sensitive girl to care about him so much, so he couldn't help laughing.
Gu Ning was hesitating and struggling, but he didn't expect the villain on the opposite side to laugh!
"Hehehe"
Li Xuewu smiled and took the wine glass to clink glasses with Gu Ning again, Gu Ning was so angry that he moved the wine glass on the table and refused to let Li Xuewu touch it.
Li Xuewu laughed even more happily, and he didn't dare to drink the wine for fear of spewing it out.
Gu Ning glared at Li Xuewu angrily, and said, "Am I ridiculous?"
"Oh, not really"
Li Xuewu waved his hand, held back his smile, and said, "It's just kind of cute."
Gu Ning simply ignored the villain's rhetoric, she knew that this person always had something to say.
Li Xuewu calmed down and took a sip of wine, said: "Did someone tell you something about me?"
Gu Ning looked into Li Xuewu's eyes, paused, and asked, "What can someone tell me?"
"That's a lot"
Li Xuewu said calmly: "I can't even remember the bad things I did, why don't you remind me and I'll tell you about it?"
Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu and felt that he was the one who strayed into the enemy camp.
"do you like me?"
Li Xuewu didn't expect Gu Ning to ask this question, just like the last time at the villa gate.
Gu Ning stared into Li Xuewu's eyes and said: "I don't expect eternal love, but I also don't want to have a marriage without warmth. Compared with the scarred silence, I hope that each other can keep some dignity."
Li Xuewu leaned forward, put his elbows on the table, and said very seriously: "I have never lied to you, including your question I answered last time."
Gu Ning looked into Li Xuewu's eyes seriously, and the two stalemate for a while, Gu Ning asked, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure"
Li Xuewu looked into Gu Ning's eyes and said: "If you want to know what I am doing now, anything".
Moved the wine glass in front of him, and leaned forward again, so that Gu Ning could clearly see his eyes.
"I will tell you without reservation"
"unnecessary"
Gu Ning shook his head with certainty, stirred the red cabbage soup in the bowl with a spoon, and said, "I have my request, and you also have your responsibility."
Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning, the current Gu Ning was the Gu Ning he saw on the operating table for the first time.
"Then shall we have dinner?"
"the last time"
Gu Ning nodded and said: "This is the last time I will confirm with you how you feel about me."
Li Xuewu stretched out his hand and said to Gu Ning, "Please take care of me for the rest of my life."
Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu, put down the spoon in his hand, stretched out his hand, and put it in Li Xuewu's big palm.
"When you see a gentleman, you don't trust each other"
"Thank you Ms. Gu"
"Thank you Mr. Lee"
The waiter was standing in the aisle with the plate, wondering if he should go over to serve the food, what are the two over there doing?
Didn't you just talk about the object!
Why does it look like a business deal again!
Marriage itself is a transaction, Li Xuewu is willing to give his heart, and Gu Ning is willing to give his heart.
Li Xuewu agrees with Gu Ning's point of view that marriage and love are two different things, but marriage does not mean that there is no emotion.
If marriage is to maintain dignity, then marriage is a long-term publicity.
The braised beef in Dadi Western Restaurant is really good, but it is not as good as the grilled mandarin fish with milk sauce.
It's not that the chef's craftsmanship is not good, but the material.
Beef is very scarce at this time. Don't look at Li Xuewu and the others pulling back one train after another, but very few actually form a supply chain.
Li Xuewu felt that the beef seemed to be a canned product, and he didn't like it.
Of course, don't be picky at this time, the five dollars can be regarded as a taste of the top food in the eyes of the common people in Sijiu City.
Listening to Li Xuewu nagging and commenting on the dishes just now, Gu Ning walked beside Li Xuewu and calmed down the entangled mood of the past three days.
“The bread is delicious”
"Hehe, I said that this Russian-style western food is not tasty, but it doesn't mean that Russian-style western food is really bad."
Li Xuewu turned his head to look at Gu Ning and said: "I want to order Caspian Sea sturgeon caviar, he must say I'm pretending to beep."
"Pfft~"
Gu Ning couldn't help laughing when he heard Li Xuewu's words, covered his mouth with his hand, and then glanced at Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu didn't care about Gu Ning's slightly angry eyes, and continued: "The serious Russian-style western food is still very rich, at least more luxurious than French-style western food."
Gu Ning pursed his lips, followed Li Xuewu to the side of the car, and replied, "It's as if you've eaten it before."
"This is called a scholar who knows the affairs of the world without going out."
Li Xuewu jumped into the jeep and started the fire. It was still bright and there were quite a few pedestrians on the road.
They all go out shopping in their free time on Sundays, and those who have some money make an appointment to come here for a tooth-beating festival.
There is only one family left in Badachun, but the dishes are absolutely authentic.
Gu Ning got into the car with his skirt in his arms, and said, "I've read the titles and catalogs of all the books on the bookshelf, why haven't I seen them written?"
"Look, you've gone astray, haven't you~"
Li Xuewu made a joke, stepped on the accelerator and drove the jeep on the road, and said with a smile: "Mencius said: It is better to have no books than to believe in books. Read the knowledge in the book in your mind, and the one who sums up is yourself." of".
Gu Ning curled her lips, she couldn't compete with Li Xuewu, she chose to ignore his boast.
Li Xuewu took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Gu Ning.
Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu, reached out to take it, and asked, "What?"
"Show Ticket"
Li Xuewu said while driving: "When you see Huang Qian and his wife in a while, you will say that you got the ticket."
Gu Ning looked at the four tickets in the envelope, turned to Li Xuewu and asked, "Why do you say that?"
What Li Xuewu told her just now was that his classmate got the tickets, and he did this to deceive his classmate's wife?
Gu Ning was unwilling to lie, so he wanted to return the envelope to Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu turned his head to look at Gu Ning, smiled, did not take it back, and explained: "His name is Huang Gan, and he works in Dongcheng No. [-] prison. He also has a younger sister who is also our classmate and works in the ministry."
Gu Ning understood, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "So you stole his sister's ticket?"
"how is this possible"
Li Xuewu said aggrievedly: "He took the initiative to ask me out, and wanted to ask his wife to meet you."
Seeing that Li Xuewu would not accept it, Gu Ning took it in his hand.
Li Xuewu continued: "As I said, I won't lie to you, but his wife and his sister have a better relationship. Isn't this to reduce embarrassment."
"I will not say"
Gu Ning didn't join Li Xuewu and the others in playing tricks, men are not good things.
"Okay, okay, I'll just say I got it"
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "If I said that, his wife must think I did it on purpose."
Gu Ning doesn't want to listen to this person's explanation, his mouth will speak.
When the vehicle came to the theater, there were already many people at the door.
A group of three and a group of five were chattering excitedly about something.
In fact, is the art form of ballet elegant or not?
Li Xuewu didn't know, his understanding of art was superficial.
He doesn't understand Peking opera, he doesn't like it, and he has watched a lot of movies, thrilling, twists and turns, and he is used to it and has immunity.
Listening to cross talk through Little Monsters every night is enough to enrich entertainment life.
It was the first time in his two lives that he watched ballet in such a formal way, and his understanding of ballet in his impression was the music and video of that little swan.
The jeep parked directly in the open space in front of the theater building, and the bicycle custodian took a look at it, but didn't dare to come over.
Li Xuewu jumped out of the car, raised his eyebrows and looked at the young people who were looking this way, then turned around to take Gu Ning's hand.
The combination of the two is very eye-catching, and the people gathered at the door are all young people who come to catch up with the fashion.
To put it bluntly, there is an extreme lack of entertainment in this era, but they are willing to join in any lively entertainment, no matter whether it is elegant or vulgar.
Li Xuewu ignored these probing gazes, and led Gu Ning inside, revealing the gun holster under the corner of his clothes.
Those with treacherous eyes had already turned their heads away from this direction, and those who were still staring were also reminded by their companions.
Li Xuewu was not easy to mess with, and he came in a jeep with a guy on his body. These people knew that this was a big shining iron plate, and they couldn't kick it.
Gu Ning didn't understand why Li Xuewu did this, but she knew there must be a reason for him to do so.
As she said, she doesn't want to know what Li Xuewu is doing, as long as Li Xuewu knows how to be responsible.
In fact, Li Xuewu was also playing insurance. Most of the children at the door didn't get tickets, so they squatted here to touch porcelain.
If you catch someone, or if you're a wimp, you can blackmail one.
Li Xuewu was afraid that these bastards couldn't find a ticket to vent their anger on his car, piss, throw bricks, and cause damage. These grandsons can do anything.
Entering the hall, I saw Huang Gan talking and laughing with a woman with big wavy hair.
Well, it must be Mrs. Huang, otherwise, with Huang Qian's courage, it would be impossible to flirt with other women today.
"Haha, these are siblings!"
Seeing Li Xuewu bringing Gu Ning in, Huang Gan greeted him with a smile.
Li Xuewu also smiled and introduced to Gu Ning: "This is my good friend, Huang Gan."
Gu Ning nodded with a smile.
Li Xuewu saw Huang Gan's daughter-in-law turned around and looked this way, so he also greeted with a smile: "Hello, brother and sister, I am Huang Gan's friend, and my name is Li Xuewu."
Huang Gan's daughter-in-law rolled her eyes, smiled and stretched out her hand, and said, "How did you rent this?"
Li Xuewu: "Everyone rents their own!"
Huang Gan: "Everyone rents their own!"
……
"Are you children?"
Huang Gan's daughter-in-law shook hands with Li Xuewu when she saw the two men who were out of shape, and introduced herself, "Su Youfang, I've heard about you for a long time."
"That must be Huang Gan speaking ill of me."
Li Xuewu smiled and let go of Su Youfang's hand, and introduced to Huang Qian and the other two: "My partner, Gu Ning".
Su Youfang saw Gu Ning's character, she extended her hand with a generous smile, and said, "Hi, I heard from Huang Gan that you and Li Xuewu were destined to fall in love at first sight."
Gu Ning glanced at Li Xuewu, smiled and said: "The story must be very exciting."
