Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 16 The most common lie I have ever heard

"Come here, you are weak, eat more meat to replenish your body. I will go to the market to buy an old hen tomorrow and make soup for you!"

Yao Meilan picked up chopsticks, picked up a large bowl of roast duck meat, and placed it in front of Li Guoqiang with a doting look on her face.

Seeing this scene, Li Guofu and Luo Huijuan not only did not show any jealousy on their faces, but they also spoke up in agreement.

"Yes, we still have some white flour at home. When the time comes, let mom go buy some meat and I'll make you some dumplings stuffed with cabbage and meat!"

"And there's also noodles with soybean paste! Brother, I remember that you like eating noodles with soybean paste made by our mother the most. Let our mother make some for you when the time comes!"

"Okay! Then I'll wait and eat!"

Li Guoqiang did not reject his family's kindness and immediately nodded happily in agreement.

Afterwards, under their concerned gazes, he buried his head and ate the roast duck in big mouthfuls, and soon his mouth was full of oil.

These days, besides sugar, fat is the most popular thing among people, especially the fat produced by secret roasting of roast duck, which is simply a top-notch enjoyment when eaten in your mouth.

At this moment, he suddenly had another small goal in mind, that is, after completely solving his own food and clothing problems, he must try as many specialties from all over the country as possible while the various old brands are still around.

Even when the reform and opening up began in the 1980s, he could still invest in these time-honored brands as much as possible.

Not to mention other places, at least we have to try all the special delicacies in this city.

In this way, when he is old, he can eat wherever he wants without worrying about queuing or never being able to eat the most authentic food again.

In a word, it's very impressive!

Seeing Li Guoqiang eating so happily, Li Dawei couldn't help but smile. Then he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and greeted other people.

"Okay, let's eat quickly! Otherwise the food will get cold."

Hearing this, Yao Meilan also hurriedly said, "Come on, Xiaofu has made a rare fortune today and bought a roast duck. Let's try it while it's hot!"

After saying that, she picked up some duck meat with chopsticks and put it into the bowls of Li Guofu, Luo Huijuan, and Li Dawei. Then, she did not put the duck meat into her own bowl, but picked up a piece of spicy and sour potato shreds with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, chewing it slowly.

"Little Mom, you eat too!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of the thickest and fullest duck leg meat and put it into Yao Meilan's bowl, then quickly put his hand over his own bowl to prevent Yao Meilan from taking the duck meat back for him.

Sure enough, the next moment, Yao Meilan was stunned for a moment, and then without thinking, she immediately picked up the piece of duck leg meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into Li Guoqiang's bowl.

"Oh my! Why did you give me this duck leg? I just ate a big duck leg outside a while ago. You guys can have it today!"

Li Guoqiang quickly stretched out his hand to block it, and then asked seriously: "Little mother, do you know what is the most common lie I have heard since I was a child?"

"What is it?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Meilan paused for a moment and then revealed a puzzled look.

At the same time, Li Dawei, Li Guofu and Luo Huijuan all looked at Li Guoqiang with curiosity and confusion, not understanding why he suddenly said that?
However, Li Guoqiang quickly gave the answer.

"The most common lie I've ever heard is the one you often tell my dad: I've already eaten it!" As soon as the words fell, Yao Meilan felt her nose sore, then she suddenly lowered her head, turned around and wiped her tears.

At the same time, Li Dawei was deeply touched by Li Guoqiang's words, and tears immediately welled up in his eyes.

Luo Huijuan and Li Guofu looked at Li Guoqiang with different expressions.

Among them, Luo Huijuan's face showed surprise, relief, pride, and a hint of tenderness.

Li Guofu's face was filled with shock and admiration. He had never thought that someone could use such a simple sentence to make people understand how great the love of parents for their children is.

Especially now, there is a plate of roast duck in front of them that makes people drool.

Anyone with a sound mind can tell that saying you've already eaten is an obvious lie these days.

But even though this lie couldn't be more false, few children would doubt it, or they simply didn't want to doubt it.

If Li Guoqiang hadn't suddenly exposed this lie just now, he probably didn't know how long it would take him to think of this problem.

"Oh! Little Mom, why are you crying? If you keep doing this, I won't dare to eat!"

When Li Guoqiang saw that Yao Meilan cried so easily, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed and thought that he should not have spoken so casually just now.

At the same time, this also made him secretly warn himself once again to be careful with his words and actions in the future, and not to lose control and say something treasonous.

If someone really puts a big hat on him, then even with the protection of his father Jin, he will not be able to live a smooth life.

"Mom is fine, I'm just happy. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you would feel sorry for your parents!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Meilan hurriedly reached out and wiped away her tears, then spoke with a relieved smile on her face.

After she finished speaking, she saw that no one else had picked up their chopsticks, so she hurriedly called out, "Eat! Eat quickly, don't worry about me!"

"Listen to your mother, eat quickly!"

At this time, Li Dawei also spoke a word, then took the lead in picking up the bowl and chopsticks and continued eating.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang, Li Guofu and Luo Huijuan could only follow suit and start eating.

Yao Meilan had just picked up the duck leg in the bowl and took a small bite when she suddenly remembered that Li Guoqiang was about to go to the countryside to join the production team. The tears that had stopped flowing suddenly flowed out again.

Why would such a good child take that risk and suffer that pain?

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned when he saw this, then he quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks, reached out and patted Yao Meilan on the back, and said softly to comfort her: "Little mother, it's all my fault. I made you worry about me!"

"I promise you here that no matter how long I stay in the countryside this time, I will definitely come back in one piece!"

"When the time comes, you and my dad must take good care of your health. When I come back, marry a wife and have children, I will need you to help take care of the children!"

Hearing this, Yao Meilan couldn't help but glance at Luo Huijuan, then nodded quickly and agreed, "Okay, then your father and I will wait to take care of your child in the future, you must come back safely!"
