A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 242 The beauty that is not appreciated

Li Xiang's vision has always been very high, and he may have been baptized by the explosive information of later generations.

A beauty who may be regarded as quite good in the eyes of others is nothing more than mediocre in his eyes.

Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e, who were recognized as good-looking people in the compound, looked like ordinary people to him.

The new addition to the compound, Yu Li, looked like a passer-by to him.

He had to admit that the only ones who could say good things were his eldest sister and Gu Da Niu.

The two have different types of beauty, but they are both the best in this type.

One is a cold little fairy, and the other is a wealthy flower in the world.

Although the real personality and appearance are not consistent, when the two of them are not talking, Li Xiang cannot go against his conscience and say that it is not pleasing to the eye.

It is said that at this time, the old man likes strong beauties.

If Li wants to say it, it's not necessarily true.

At least Mother Li couldn't admire Wang Sheng's fiancée Ruan Qiaozhen any more.

The face is like a silver plate, but it is really that round.

The skin color is dark but not dark, it is a healthy wheat color.

He has big arms and a thick waist, and looks really strong.

The strong words in Mother Li's mouth were not polite words, but a real sigh.

You must know that Mother Li was even He Yuzhu's former blind date, a fitter, who she thought was chubby and round.

But now she can't accept Ruan Qiaozhen's appearance, which means that this girl's appearance has exceeded the aesthetic limit of the older generation.

Ruan Qiaozhen, who was brought over by Aunt Wang to visit her, made the Li family feel a little stunned.

It took a lot of effort not to show any strangeness on his face.

This is the beautiful niece Aunt Wang calls, so this "beautiful" one is too "chic".

Maybe it was because the niece's adoptive parents were failing each other and the other was sick, so she became a householder early.

Although her appearance is unsatisfactory, she speaks openly and is not timid when going to strange places. She is well-informed and polite, and her temperament is somewhat similar to Aunt Wang's.

This can also explain why Aunt Wang is willing to hire her as her daughter-in-law.

Mother Li has a good relationship with Aunt Wang. When her new daughter-in-law comes to the house for the first time, Mother Li is willing to make face for Aunt Wang.

The guests were served sugar water, and the newly bought watermelon was cut generously.

Before leaving, he asked his eldest sister to give him a handkerchief as a small gift.

After they left, the eldest sister laughed at her, saying that her daughter-in-law came to greet her, so that was the treatment.

Mother Li just pretended not to hear, and when she returned to the house, she was still muttering: "Why does this child look like this now? When I saw him a few years ago, he was still thin and small."

"She's not fat. She can't look like this just by eating. Brother, have you seen the tendons on those arms? I think your legs are not as thick as her arms." The eldest sister asked excitedly.

Yes, Ruan Qiaozhen's body shape cannot be simply defined as fat.

If Li wanted to use an accurate name to describe him, he would think he would be a bodybuilder.

Some people's physiques are just easy to get into shape.

But at this point, her veins are all stretched out, which is indeed a bit exaggerated.

"She must have done too much farm work and developed her physical fitness. She is the only labor force in their family, so she has to work hard." Li Xiang explained to the girl.

As for why my legs are not as thick as other people’s arms, let’s just ignore that.

"That's too scary. Your Aunt Wang doesn't tell the truth. Before she came, she praised this treasure to the best of the world. I thought it was no worse than that fairy. Wang Sheng was having trouble at home. , I even spat at him for getting an advantage and being a good boy. Only today do I realize that I wronged this child." The expression on Mother Li's face was hard to describe.

Speaking of this, Li Xiang came over with interest and asked: "Then we have to go to the neighbor's house to recognize the door. Does that mean it's finalized?"

"I guess it's settled, otherwise we would be able to admit the door with such a big fanfare." The eldest sister felt that the possibility of finalizing the deal was very high. Just now, Aunt Wang and the others did not go back directly, but turned into the second uncle's house again.

"Well, it seems that Wang Sheng is still more stubborn than his mother." Li Xiang said with a smile.

"Although I also think Qiaozhen's figure is a bit exaggerated, but she is sincere. Since you Aunt Wang has chosen her, she will not harm her children." Although Mother Li didn't understand, she still said Support your friends.

However, the two have been friends since childhood and have been supporting each other in the city.

It's not surprising to have such feelings.

The rind of the watermelon on the table was chewed clean, and even the green flesh inside was almost gone.

When Mother Li was packing it up, she hesitated for a moment and finally threw it away.

It was impossible to throw away those three difficult years.

Scrape off the outer layer of green skin, cut the skin into shreds and mix with salt to make a good dish.

Before cooking, I ate a few slices of watermelon and everyone was not too hungry now.

It's bitter summer again, and my appetite is already shallow.

Mother Li is not going to make any troublesome dishes, and is going to have noodles tonight.

The eldest son has always been a picky eater, although he said he ate noodles for convenience.

But in order to take care of Li Xiang's appetite, Li's mother did not use dried noodles, but made them hand-rolled.

Speaking of this, Li Xiang felt a little embarrassed himself.

As a grown man, if he doesn't eat this or that every day, his family's life will be easier, and all his old bad habits will come back.

He has a picky mouth but not much flesh. If it weren't for the excellent genes of the Li family and his handsome face, the nickname Zhugan would stick with him for the rest of his life.

Noodles have a ranking in his mind, dried noodles are the inferior choice, flour-made hand-rolled noodles are the average choice, and rice noodles are the superior choice.

This stems from the insistence of southerners in his previous life on eating rice, and rice is the best ingredient for noodles.

It's a pity that people in the north are not free to eat rice, let alone use it to make noodles.

There is no such explanation and no such thing.

Compared to other families who like to eat fried sauce, the Li family prefers noodle soup.

Scoop a spoonful of chili sauce and spread it slightly over the noodles. The clear noodle soup that was originally decorated with chopped green onions was instantly stained with a layer of red oil.

He sucked a mouthful of noodles into his mouth, bit into the poached egg, and served it with a shredded pickle.

Finally, take a sip of the soup. The taste is so good that it won’t change even if you come here.

The whole family ate without raising their heads, focusing entirely on their own bowl of noodles.

After a while, the first bowl was emptied one after another.

Although they are using big bowls these days, they can only be filled with more porridge.

If you eat the above, the portion is not enough.

It’s not a serious noodle soup bowl after all.

Not to mention Li Xiang and Li Xiaodi, even Li's mother and eldest sister couldn't fill their stomachs with one bowl, so they filled up a second bowl of noodles.

The order of eating the second bowl is similar to the first bowl, except that the poached eggs are missing.

Eating four eggs in one meal is already considered a luxury, and there is nothing more dissatisfying.

The clear soup noodles in the bowl are still enjoyable to eat.
