A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 64 New topic

snort snort snort~
Li Xiang listened to the loud snoring, his eyes widened, and he stared at the roof in a daze.

A vague stench lingered at the tip of his nose. For this reason, he had to turn over unbearably.

I want to stay away from He Yuzhu's stinky feet.

At this moment, he extremely regretted his decision to stay at He Yuzhu's house.

You are still a cook, how can you be so careless about hygiene?

After this experience, Li Xiang was a little doubtful whether the food cooked by He Yuzhu could be eaten with peace of mind.

The next day, 05:30 in the morning.

This is Li's mother's usual wake-up time.

She put on her clothes softly, comforted Gu Danniu who was looking at her anxiously, and asked her to sleep a little longer so she didn't have to get up so early.

Mother Li came to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, but was startled by the figure dozing off by the coal stove.

When I got closer, I saw that it was my eldest son.

Mother Li patted her son awake and said anxiously: "Why did you come here to sleep? It's so cold. Didn't you say you would stay at Zhuzi's house?"

Li Xiang slapped Ha Qie and explained to his mother: "Don't mention it. Brother Zhuzhu snored and didn't wash his feet. It was noisy and fuzzy. I stayed at his house with my eyes open all night, watching the day break. I just ran home, and I was afraid of disturbing you, so I went to the kitchen to stay for a while."

"How can you survive this whole night without sleeping? Why don't you wait for us to leave? You can catch up on some sleep at home in the morning and then go to the internship in the afternoon."

Li Xiang shook his head and refused: "I have already asked for two days of leave. I have only stayed in this factory for a month in total. It is not good to ask for leave all the time. I will find a place to take a nap at noon."

Then he watched his mother pour the water from the kettle that had been kept warm on the coal stove all night into the thermos.

He remembered something he had brought home before.

"Mom, before you leave, put five tablespoons of the black powder I brought back into a bowl of water. I can drink it before I leave."

Mother Li said disapprovingly: "What are you doing drinking that stuff? It's more bitter than traditional Chinese medicine."

"You don't understand, it's just for refreshing yourself. Whether I can survive this morning mentally depends on it." Of course Li Xiang knows how bitter coffee is without sugar and milk, but isn't this just for refreshing yourself? I can only hold my nose and drink.

"Okay, I'll make you a bowl before I leave." Seeing his persistence, Mother Li had no choice but to agree.

There is a lot of food to prepare this morning.

My cousins, cousins ​​​​and others will come for breakfast soon, so there are already 7 people.

Li Xiang guessed that Sun Guoqing's fellow would also like to take a bite, so while Li's mother was scooping millet, he asked her to add another person's portion.

If it had been three months ago, so many people would come to the house every now and then, and the food rations for so many people would probably make Mother Li's heart ache.

Now, after mixing in a pound of flour, she could ask him if it was enough.

The posture seemed as if Li wanted to say "no" and she could immediately add another pound.

Li Xiang flattered sweetly: "That's enough, that's enough, Mom, you are so generous now."

"That's not because you are capable. Now our family doesn't have to worry about food and drink. Mom even treats them to big fat meat and doesn't feel bad." The mother rubbed her face and complimented her son.

"Oh~ Mom, you have made such great progress now, I don't even feel bad if you eat meat." Li Xiang looked surprised.

Mother Li stopped and thought seriously.

Then she glanced at him and said, "I still feel bad. There are good things, but Mom still wants to give them to you guys to eat first."

Mother Li's words made Li Xiang smile knowingly. He thought the same way. Every time he got something good, he wanted to share it with his family if external conditions allowed. He rarely ate it alone.

Even the extremely bitter coffee, he wanted to let his family taste what it tasted like and share with them that there was food with such taste in the world.Although the other three people didn't appreciate it, they only tasted it once and were pushed to the bottom of the box by Mother Li.

They felt that Li Xiang was teasing them on purpose, otherwise no one would drink such a bitter thing as water.

Li Xiang stayed with his mother in the kitchen until 06:30, although there wasn't much he could do to help.

But Li's mother, accompanied by him, kept chatting with Li Xiang happily, and the conversation never stopped.

At this time, everyone in the room also got up. Accompanied by her eldest sister, Gu Da Niu went to the kitchen to get water to wash up, looking a little embarrassed.

Li Xiang just said hello briefly and stopped looking at her.

He turned around and stared at the steamer on the stove intently, as if there was some university question on the steamer, waiting for him to study it.

And all he did was to make Gu Da Niu feel more comfortable.

After a while, his cousin and sister-in-law also came from the guest house, and Sun Guoqing followed them after a few minutes.

The four people looked at each other, and they all guessed who was opposite.

For this reason, Sun Guoqing was very polite to his cousin and sister-in-law. Hearing that they were going out for a stroll today, he enthusiastically shared his travel experiences.

He knows where the food is delicious and where the attractions are deceptive.

In fact, originally, Li Xiang didn't want them to meet each other.

After all, pregnancy before marriage is considered a scandal at this time, and it will be a handle if someone with intentions catches it. It will be bad if something happens in the future.

But yesterday, Sun Guoqing brought Gu Da Niu over and asked him to help with the placement.

There were so many eyes watching in this courtyard. If they caught Gu Da Niu being led out by Sun Guoqing so early in the morning, they would definitely have to talk to her.

It would be better to wait until breakfast is over, and the group of people will go out in a grand manner, calling them relatives to the outside world, and just go there in one piece.

In the morning, Mother Li prepared thick millet porridge, steamed buns with noodles, pickled cucumbers, fried pickles, and radish strips.

Mother Li also cooked an egg for Gu Da Niu alone.

Gu Da Niu took the egg dully and didn't know to say thank you. She just lowered her head and held it in her hand without eating it.

Sun Guoqing, on the other hand, hurriedly thanked Mother Li for her.

Li's mother had already known what kind of temperament Gu Danniu had from Li Xiang's mouth, so how could she care about it.

She waved her hand and told him not to be polite, and hurriedly finished the breakfast while it was hot, and went out to do business while it was still warm.

When breakfast was almost over, Sun Guoqing walked over to Li Xiang, who was drinking black juice, and stuffed 20 yuan and food stamps into his pocket.

"It's rare for my brother and sister-in-law to come to the city to play. Let my eldest sister take them to eat some good food."

Listening to Sun Guoqing's familiar words, Li Xiang rolled his eyes in his heart, but he did not reject his offer.

The money check was handed to the eldest sister after changing hands.

"Take your brother, sister-in-law and little brother with you, eat well and have fun, and make up for what you haven't eaten or played in these two days."

With the addition of what Li Xiang had given her before, the eldest sister suddenly became extremely wealthy. This time, she felt more confident than ever before when she went out.

It was almost time, and the eight of them walked out of the courtyard together.

After leaving the courtyard, people going to work, doing inspections, and playing went to their respective destinations.

This left a topic that added a lot of new things to talk about in today's women's symposium in the courtyard.
