Back to modern times, Her Majesty the Queen and I are both laid off

Chapter 74 No Parents
When she opened the door, she smelled the aroma of vegetables. Li Shulan was putting plates of vegetables on the table. When she saw the two of them coming back, she turned to Lin Xuemin and whispered: "These two are quite good at choosing the right time. They will be ready as soon as the meal is ready." Come back by the smell.”

After that, he greeted the two of them: "You're back? Wash your hands quickly, it's time to eat."

"Luoluo, you take this Jiang Li with you, right? You take someone to the bathroom to wash their hands."

"Ah."

Lin Luo responded, found a place to tie the dog, led the emperor to the bathroom to wash his hands, and continued to help serve the food when he came out.

Li Shulan took off her apron and asked Jiang Li to sit down, "Jiang Li, sit down quickly. You're welcome. Just treat it like your own home."

"Here, this bowl is yours, and here are the chopsticks." Lin Luo brought the rice to the table, handed a bowl to Jiang Li, and handed her the chopsticks at the same time.

The three of them sat down around the dining table. Li Shulan first went to pour some dog food and milk for the dog, and then pulled out a chair and sat down. "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is the first time you come to the door. Auntie doesn't know that you love me." Whatever I eat, I cook more of it."

"Let Auntie worry about it."

"Don't worry, you can eat whatever you want, and don't let anyone see you."

"Um"

Jiang Li pursed his lips and responded, holding the chopsticks without moving, looking a little hesitant.

She has been in modern times for more than a month, and she has also watched those short videos. Modern people only have three or four dishes for a meal. Like their usual meals, two dishes are considered rich.

Now, there are a variety of dishes on the table, with more than ten plates. Maybe it is because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it must also be related to her visit this time.

Jiang Li had to admit that Xiao Linzi's parents took her more seriously than Xiao Linzi.

"Here, this is sweet and sour pork ribs. The pork ribs made by my mother are delicious. You can try them."

Lin Luo put a piece of pork ribs into her bowl, then picked up the bowl and grilled the rice. After just two bites, she raised her head again and said, "Mom, the rice you steamed today is a little soft."

Lin Xuemin suddenly interrupted, "Don't you like to eat soft food?"

"The rice is delicious when it's hard and chewy, but when it's soft it becomes watery and sticky."

After Lin Luo finished speaking, he frowned again, something didn't sound right. He asked this question specifically, especially the tone, which was indescribably awkward.

It's like he loves to eat soft rice.

"When I steamed the rice, I put too much water in it and accidentally steamed it soft. Do you think this Jiang Li is too soft? If you are not used to it, I can steam it in another pot."

"No, I think the softness and hardness are just right."

"That's fine, eat more and treat it like your own home. Luoluo, don't be stunned and pick up food for others. There are service chopsticks. You use the service chopsticks, don't use your own."

"Oh."

Lin Luo stood up and picked up the serving chopsticks in the middle of the table. There were a lot of dishes on the table. He simply picked up an empty plate with bones at hand, put a little of each dish on the plate, and then placed the plate on Jiang Li. In front of me, I sat down again.

Lin Xuemin's brows furrowed as he performed a set of movements smoothly, and his mind was filled with Lin Luo's appearance of picking up vegetables just now.

The posture of bowing the waist and contracting the abdomen, the hand holding the chopsticks and the straightened arm form a perfect right angle, which is actually a bit pleasing to the eye.

Where did this kid learn this trick?
Inexplicably, he remembered those period TV dramas, in which the eunuchs serving the emperor were not so professional.

Lin Luo picked up the bowl and was about to continue cooking when he saw Lin Xuemin staring at him, "Dad, what are you looking at me doing?"

"It's nothing."

Lin Xuemin looked away and looked at Jiang Li with the corner of his eyes.

Holding the chopsticks, he picks up the dishes on the small plate, and at the same time uses the bowl to pick up the dishes. He looks unhurried and unhurried, with his arms hanging in the air and never touching the table.

Then he lowered his head slightly while chewing, unable to see his mouth, and his cheeks moved slightly or even completely.

This demeanor, this behavior... I am not running away anymore, I am a proper lady.

Lin Xuemin, who has lived for more than 40 years, suddenly has some doubts about life, and feels that the scenes in those bloody TV dramas may be staged in his own home.My son has found someone to talk to, and he has found a lady from a well-known family, and it is very likely that he has a rich background.

It's better for the two of them to break up as soon as possible. Such a girl is not within the reach of my family.

Not to mention that the two of them are still living together, a man and a woman alone. If one day something happens to someone else, and then someone else comes to the family, the trouble will be big.

Li Shulan was also secretly observing at this moment. She was so pleasant to eat, and she looked like she had such a temperament. It seemed that she really made Lao Lin talk about it. Maybe she was a rich lady from some family.

However, she was not as complicated as Lin Xuemin thought. On the contrary, she felt that her son had the ability to find such a girl as his girlfriend.

As expected of my son.

The meal was uneventful, and there wasn't much conversation during the meal. Even though Lin Luo didn't like soft rice, he still ate two big bowls and was about to help clear away the dishes.

Lin Xuemin stood up and said, "Come on, come with me."

"doing what?"

"You'll know when you come."

"."

Lin Luo was a little confused, but he followed silently and entered the study.

"No, just rest. Auntie can clean up. You are a guest, how can I ask you to help."

Declining Jiang Li's help, Li Shulan brought the dishes into the kitchen. Without rushing to clean them, she walked out and poured a glass of water, "Come on, Jiang Li, drink some water."

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Why are you so polite?" Li Shulan waved her hand, sat down next to her, looked at Jiang Li a few times, smiled and praised: "Auntie, you are a few years younger than Luo Luo, but at first glance you are a stable person. , much better than that kid, he didn’t make you angry when you two were talking together, right?”

".fine."

"By the way, aunt hasn't asked yet, where is your family from? I heard Luoluo tell me that you come from the mountains?"

"Yes."

"Where's the mountain?"

"southern."

"Can't you? Auntie didn't look like it. I thought he was talking nonsense. The boy also told me that your family's conditions were not good, and then he dropped out of school to work or something."

"Yeah." Jiang Li nodded while holding the water glass: "He's right."

"."

Li Shulan choked and asked again: "Then how did you two know each other?"

Jiang Li followed what he had said before and said, "My family's conditions were not good, so I dropped out of school to work. The rent at Xiao Linluo's place was cheap, so I rented it and shared a room with him, and we got to know each other."

Li Shulan really couldn't believe these words, but the smile on her face became a little deeper.

Listen, this is called Xiao Linluo. Is this the kind of pet name among young people?

Regardless of whether she is a rich young lady or not, she has a nickname, which is fun.

"What does your family do? What are your parents' jobs?"

Faced with such a problem, Jiang Li could only shake his head.

"no job?"

".No parents."
