A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 79 A Complicated Person
Li Xiang didn't know from which day he began to include Professor Hao and his wife within the scope of protection.

Maybe it was the day I recognized Professor Hao as my mentor.

Maybe it was the night when my wife cooked noodle soup.

Maybe the couple was afraid that he didn't have enough money and Li Xiang found out that they secretly stuffed money bills into his coat.

He is a grateful person, and he always remembers the good things others do to him.

This is also the reason why the Li family cannot be alone in the compound.

People are very complicated. When you are having a hard time, most of the people who help you at that moment do so out of sincerity.

But if you live too well, envy and jealousy will burn other people's reason. At that moment, he cursed you out of sincerity.

Would you deny someone's kindness to you because of their embarrassment to you?

Human debt is the hardest to pay!

Sometimes it's not him who gave you a bowl of porridge, but you can just give him back another bowl of porridge.

Even if you returned one hundred and eighty bowls, you thought it was completely over.

But when you wake up from your dream at midnight, you still feel sorry for him.

Neither Li Xiang nor the Li family wanted to do that thing of turning against others.

But you also need to pay attention to methods and methods to repay kindness, and you can't have no bottom line. What you say is what it is.

Li Xiang made rules with his family.

If you really encounter something that makes the Li family feel embarrassed or unhappy, just refuse it outright and it doesn't matter if you show off.

At least let people know that this matter is not feasible for the Li family, and they will not mention it again in the future.

As long as the stumbling blocks between neighbors don't hit the limits of the Li family's work, they usually turn a blind eye and don't care too much.

As long as it doesn't involve deep hatred, there's nothing wrong with leaving some room.

After all, life is never smooth sailing. Who knows whether the person who is treating you favorably at that time is a human or a ghost.

Human hearts may not be kinder than ghosts!Li Xiang originally wanted to give the ten yuan to Li's mother for safekeeping.

He understands himself that this money cannot be saved by him at all, and will be spent by him in the blink of an eye.

But Li's mother didn't ask for it. Since Li Xiang was admitted to college, Li's mother had all the money at his own disposal.

Even though the family still had outstanding foreign debts at that time, Li's mother never thought of touching his allowance.

In her opinion, it is not easy for a child to get into college, where everyone is the best among the best. Naturally, they need to build good relationships and socialize a lot to pave the way for the future.

You must not drag your children down because of the situation at home.

The mother and son pushed me around, but the money was still put in Li Xiang's pocket.

The two of them delayed for a while, and it was almost time to make dinner.

The eldest sister and the younger brother have gone somewhere to play, and they haven't reached home yet.

Li Xiang followed Mother Li to the kitchen and helped her.

The fried hairtail I’m going to make today is what my eldest sister requested before.

It was not served on the table yesterday, and the little girl was a little disappointed.

Today Li's mother will fulfill her wish.

"This eldest sister opens her mouth to fry hairtail. I don't know how much oil is wasted. This oil is enough for us to eat for half a month." Although Mother Li is making her daughter's favorite food, she does not delay her mouth. murmured.

"It's okay, Mom, you can cut the dried tofu into pieces, cut the potatoes into slices, and roll the other vegetables in a circle, then put them all in oil. Tonight, we will eat fried everything. .”

"Can this be delicious?" Mother Li expressed doubts.

"It must be delicious. Let's make a sauce later. Didn't I bring all kinds of powder? You put some of each, add some salt, sprinkle some sugar, pour some vinegar, and then use the diluted soy sauce Oooh, ooh, and finally pass it over with hot oil..."

Li wanted to think back to the fried food he had eaten before, and how to surprise Li's mother. As he spoke, the images flashed through his mind one by one, making him swallow his saliva unconsciously.

When Mother Li heard what he said, her eyes became more and more suspicious.

How delicious is this hodgepodge of sour, spicy, numbing, salty, and sweet things mixed together?

"Mom, believe me, the fish stewed with tofu was delicious before. I said it would be delicious with some chili powder. Did I say it wrong?" Li Xiang reminded Li's mother that he had reliable experience with the recipe. .

"Okay, I'll listen to you again, but I have to say it first. If it doesn't taste good, you have to stuff it down. You don't want to waste food." Mother Li reluctantly agreed.

"It can't be delicious. This sauce tastes great with shoe soles." Li Xiang expressed unprecedented confidence in the recipe of the sauce and refused to give in.

"Where did you learn that weird saying? It even comes with shoe soles. I'll paint the soles later and see if you eat them."

Mother Li rolled her eyes at him. She was not surprised by her eldest son's occasional strange metaphors, and sometimes even tried to counter him.

Li Xiang listened to his mother's teasing with a smile, but did not delay his hand movements. He picked up a few potatoes and started to peel them.

Seeing this, Mother Li quickly stopped her and said, "Hey, hey, put it there. You don't need to use it. This knife is very sharp. What if your hand is cut and you can't write."

She knew that when Li Xiang had free time, he would write and draw in the room. Although she could not understand the content, several large pages of words were placed there every day.

From then on, Li's mother wouldn't let Li Xiang touch anything that would hurt her hands.

"Mom, you are too careful. What could happen if you peel the potatoes? I can just take it slow." Li Xiang did not take it seriously and continued.

"Ouch~ It's so dark today. Why haven't Xia'er and Xiao Ming come back yet? Maybe you can go out and look for them. They've been crazy outside all afternoon." Mother Li started to send him away, unwilling to let him stay any longer. kitchen.

Li didn't doubt that he was there. He looked at the sky and saw that it was indeed dark, so he got up and walked outside.

He first came to Wang's house and asked his eldest sister if she was here.

The eldest sister and Wang Yun have a good relationship and sometimes come to Wang's house to play.

After getting a negative answer from the Wang family, he set off to Xiuxiu's house in the next yard.

The little girl is indeed here. The two little sisters are holding the newly bought headbands and playing with their hair in different ways.

Seeing that the eldest brother came over, the eldest sister had to say goodbye to Xiuxiu and made an appointment to play together tomorrow.

When he came out, Li wanted to ask his elder sister: "Where are you? They don't like running back and forth on both sides of the alley. Why are there no people here today?"

The eldest sister shook her head and said she didn't know, and they separated as soon as they left the yard.

She only knew that her younger brother was playing with the children in the courtyard.

After hearing this, Li asked his eldest sister to look inside the alley, while he went to prepare to look outside the alley.

When he got out of the alley and saw the road outside, Li Xiang looked around, looking for a place where children might play.

"Big brother, big brother, big brother."

In the alley behind him, I saw the elder sister dragging the younger brother and running towards him desperately.

A face of panic.
