The happy life of the landlady

Chapter 290 Xu Lijuan Finally Relieved
"Wow, grandpa, I haven't seen you for a month, how come you are young again?"

Xu Deyu's words came from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't believe that the man in front of him, with black hair and a ruddy complexion that could not find a few wrinkles, deliberately straightened his waist and sat on the sofa flipping through newspapers. He was wearing dark purple embroidered silver. The middle-aged man in the Tang suit with auspicious and metaphorical patterns turned out to be the old Xu in his memory who had entered the "rare" age. Even though he had better food and clothing, he still couldn't hide the old aura that flowed from his body. !
In fact, if it was possible, Xu Deyu and the rest of the younger generations of the Xu family wouldn't stay at home all day.The reason why they chose such a path was not only to continue the inheritance of the Xu family, but also because they couldn't bear to see Mr. Xu, who had worked hard for the Xu family all his life and loved them like his life, grow old day by day, and eventually became like an ordinary old man. passed away.

Although everyone understands that "birth, old age, sickness and death" is something that no one can refuse, no matter how powerful this person is, he can't resist this natural phenomenon, but it is the goal of these juniors to work hard for Xu Lao to go away with peace of mind.Because of this, no matter what occupation they are engaged in, no matter what difficulties they face, they will push out all their potential. "Think before you act" will be considered.

All they thought of was to try their best to reduce the worries of their elders, especially Mr. Xu, so that Mr. Xu could spend his old age comfortably.

However, Xu Deyu, who was almost unrecognizable in front of him, made Xu Deyu put all his worries and worries behind him without hesitation.

Without deliberately raising his head, Mr. Xu can feel the excitement and excitement on Xu Deyu's body. Although his heart is very happy because of the care of his grandson, this does not mean that Mr. Xu will give Xu Deyu a good look. Let the Xu family always pursue "iron and blood education" for boys!

"Sit down, how's work going?"

"Grandpa..." After walking to the sofa and sitting down, Xu Deyu immediately reported his work respectfully.The degree of seriousness and meticulousness, the dancing appearance, and in order to prevent Mr. Xu from not understanding the professional words, or getting bored, he deliberately inserted some interesting small cases from time to time, and the commentary was comparable to that of a gossip person. The enthusiastic appearance only made Xu Lijuan, who walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup, turned her face slightly to the side when she saw this scene, and couldn't bear to look directly at her.

——I don’t know if those aristocratic women outside know that the “Diamond Elite Man” who ranks first in the hearts of everyone has such a funny appearance in private, will they be surprised? !

"Fifth brother, drink this bowl of soup." Knowing that Xu Deyu would come, Xu Lijuan deliberately exchanged an S-level genetic evolution for 100 million catties of vegetables, fruits, snacks, jerky and other food with Wen Zeyu some time ago. The medicine is put in the Dangshen Laoya Soup.

Xu Deyu was most afraid of drinking these soups, so when he saw the strangely colored bowl of soup pushed in front of him by Xu Lijuan, he said hesitantly: "Xiaojuan, I came here after breakfast, and I'm not hungry yet. It's okay to drink later, right?"

"No." Xu Lijuan shook her finger and said seriously, "This soup needs to be drunk while it's hot."

Xu Deyu looked at Mr. Xu, and found that Mr. Xu not only ignored his pleading eyes for help, but also looked at this scene with interest. After the bowl of soup, I guess I don’t have to eat at noon..."

"There are still three hours before noon, and this is just a bowl of clear soup. Just now you have talked to grandpa for so long, and you haven't had a sip of water, so drink it as water." Xu Lijuan is very good at hitting a stick before giving At the moment Xu Deyu picked up the soup bowl, he added slowly: "At noon, make your favorite pickled pork with preserved vegetables and braised pork in braised pork."

"Gudu Gudu..." As soon as Xu Deyu raised his head, he poured down the whole bowl of soup, then put down the empty bowl, patted his stomach with satisfaction, and said in his mouth, "Xiaojuan, this soup tastes delicious. Not bad!" But he thought secretly in his heart: I didn't expect the tonic soup that Xiaojuan said was such a good taste, so it seems that he should live like a fish in water for the next period of time!Maybe, when he goes back to work, he will gain a few pounds...

Mr. Xu, who was sitting quietly watching this scene, gave Xu Deyu a look of sympathy mixed with pity. It doesn't feel much to drink this soup once in a while, but if you drink three meals a day, the taste... Tsk...

Xu Lijuan didn't seem to notice the slander in Xu Lao's heart, she smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line, and said without humility: "That's it, fifth brother, now you know the benefits of living at home? In the restaurant outside If you eat in a restaurant, those waiters don’t care about your health, whether you can drink some nourishing soup, they will only keep promoting the most expensive dishes. And even if there are some of these dishes that you like, but The Chinese have always believed in discussing business and chatting at the wine table, so it is estimated that you can eat three or five mouthfuls of the dishes at the big table in the back, and the rest is to pour wine desperately, and occasionally eat a few mouthfuls of cold dishes , how harmful this tobacco and alcohol are to the body, and how bad the stomach is from eating too much cold and greasy food, I don’t even tell you that you all know..."

As a good brother, Xu Deyu did not hesitate to abandon the theories that he believed in before, such as "deep feelings, one mouthful of boredom", "one cigarette, one mouthful of wine, is better than a living god", and listened to Xu Lijuan seriously. The nagging words, and nodded from time to time to intervene, he just missed patting his chest and saying that he would definitely follow Xu Lijuan's words as an imperial decree.

This person said that the serious and warm scene that one person listened to fell into the eyes of Mr. Xu, so he couldn't help but smile, and then looked down at the newspaper in his hand again.

As for whether Mr. Xu's mind is on the newspaper, or on the conversation between Xu Lijuan and Xu Deyu, does it need to be said?It can be seen from the newspaper in Xu Lao's hand that has not been turned over for more than ten minutes.

However, no matter whether it is Xu Lijuan who speaks enthusiastically, or while echoing Xu Lijuan's words, he quietly inquires about the relationship between Fu Jianbai and Xu Lijuan, and verifies his guesses, so that when Xu Deyou, Xu Dehui, Xu Dehai and Xu Deyao return home, they can provide Xu Deyu, who gave them a reference, actually noticed Mr. Xu's little tricks.However, the two siblings just looked at each other and continued chatting.

This conversation lasted for more than two hours, until Xu Lijuan looked up at the wall clock on the wall, and found that it was already eleven-half, then she immediately waved her hand and said, "Fifth brother, it's getting late, I'll go prepare lunch first, you chat with grandpa meeting."

The words fell, and before Xu Deyu could reply, Xu Lijuan got up, rushed to the kitchen, and sat there in vain. Xu Deyu, who hadn't chatted with Xu Lijuan so happily for a long time, retracted his outstretched hand helplessly, and then glanced at the stillness. Elder Xu, who was buried in the newspaper, couldn't help showing a wry smile when he thought of Xu Lijuan's words of kindness and kindness, which in their eyes were absolutely impossible to attach to Elder Xu.

In the entire Xu family, only Xu Lijuan would think that Mr. Xu is the same as ordinary old people.In fact, who in the Xu family didn't grow up under such terrible mental and physical torture as "feeling Xu's punches and kicks while feeling Xu's terrible poisonous tongue skills"? !

Although Mr. Xu has retired for many years, the supernatural five senses that ordinary people have never been able to match after training, still let him easily notice Xu Deyu's hesitant look, and he couldn't help but put the newspaper in his hand heavily. Slapping it on the table, he asked in a cold voice, "What are you looking at?"

But I thought secretly in my heart: So, this grandson is not as considerate and caring as his granddaughter.If it was Xu Lijuan, she would have sat next to him early in the morning, chattering, and happily telling interesting stories about her travels, and would even miss the opportunity to present specially selected gifts.

And this kid Xu Deyu...

Tsk, it’s rare to go home once, and the gifts you bring are some oral liquids like X Platinum or so-called supplements imported from abroad. Every piece of packaging is very exquisite and high-grade, but you can tell at a glance that it was bought by those in the mall. The ordinary gifts that can be found all over the streets and alleys bought by the salesperson who is good at flickering can't afford the words "gifts are light and affection is heavy".

What's more, would the old man sitting in his position lack these things? !
Although Xu Deyu didn't accept the resentment in Xu Lao's heart, he was still keenly aware of Xu Lao's displeased and sharp eyes as if he was looking at him, so he subconsciously raised his chest and raised his head, and replied loudly: "Grandpa, I want to talk to you about something!"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Deyu's face immediately darkened, wishing that the ground would immediately crack a crack, and he would definitely jump in and bury himself.

And these words also spread to Xu Lijuan in the kitchen, and she couldn't help laughing out loud, and she also shed tears of sympathy for Xu Deyu in her heart-this is all raised by Xu Deyu after decades of training. What a habit!

Mr. Xu couldn't bear to look straight away, but thought in his heart: This stupid grandson!After so many years, he is still so stupid to insist on being a lawyer.It seems that all these years have been thanks to Wen Jiaqing, otherwise, this stupid grandson would have fallen into a pit dug by others long ago, how could he have won the reputation of a "lawyer elite", and he would have to talk to Xiaojuan later. Let me just say that this year's annual gift to the Wen family should be thicker.Not to mention anything else, just to be able to take good care of my grandson, I must continue to make good friends with the Wen family!
"Xiao Wu..." Xu Lao turned his head and saw the scene where Xu Deyu was so ashamed that he wanted to dig into the ground. He rubbed his forehead helplessly and wondered whether his teaching method back then was wrong. Otherwise, Xu Deyu How did you develop this look, "I'll find you some books on the art of war later, and you write them down word by word, and you must understand the meaning of each sentence."

"Also, from tomorrow onwards, you and I will meet those old men."

Xu Deyu: "..." This feeling of being suspected by my old man of low IQ again and again is really full of snot and tears!

After lunch, Mr. Xu drove Xu Deyu back to his room to rest, euphemistically saying, "I don't want other old men to suspect that Xu Deyu did something bad at night, or his body is weak, so his eyes are dull, The body is so weak that the wind can blow away the appearance of malnutrition", in fact, I feel sorry for Xu Deyu's busy life and work that has been upside down day and night!
Xu Lijuan obeyed Elder Xu's instructions, took out the prepared annual gift list again, and discussed with Elder Xu to add a few more rare annual gifts to the Wen family, then bid farewell to Elder Xu, and went back to the room for a lunch break.

Elder Xu, on the other hand, picked up the phone on the coffee table and dialed those old friends, chatting with each other, showing off that all his grandsons will go home for the New Year this year, and how filial and considerate the granddaughter is, I bought something good for myself this time, and I will show it to everyone tomorrow...

Speaking of which, Xu Deyu really hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, so this supplementary sleep was beyond his expectation and he fell into a deadly sleep.

It wasn't until the enticing smell of food permeated from the kitchen to the entire living room and invaded the upstairs room at a slow but not negligible speed that Xu Deyu subconsciously opened his eyes and saw the alarm clock on the bedside. When the number "six o'clock" was displayed, I still couldn't believe my eyes, thinking that I was dreaming, so I pinched my thigh.

"Hiss..." Xu Deyu cried out in pain, and his still somewhat chaotic brain immediately regained clarity. Only then did he realize that he had slept for five hours in one go!

Five hours, a pig can't sleep as well as him!
The tangy aroma of the food made Xu Deyu's stomach subconsciously make a "gurgling" sound, and he couldn't help swallowing saliva. In his mind, he fantasized about what delicious food Xu Lijuan cooked, and what strategy he should use to get away from Xu Deyu at night. The old man and Xu Ankang grabbed more delicacies from their chopsticks...

However, after thinking about it, Xu Deyu immediately changed his face, with his right hand still placed on his stomach, with distress and helplessness on his face: he only ate so much at noon, why did he get hungry so quickly?He never did this before!

If it's just that, it's nothing. What I'm most afraid of is that if this continues, when he returns to work in the office in the next year, he won't be degraded into an ugly fat man, right?
Never...

Xu Deyu, who was roaring in his heart like a carp, jumped from the bed to the floor, and then quickly rushed to the bathroom, took care of himself, and then put the crumpled pajamas on him Taking it off, I looked at the series of black, gray and blue suits that I brought home, and the beige and navy blue tunic with a stand-up collar that Xu Lijuan brought back for her when she traveled from H province and other places this time. In the end, in order not to irritate Mr. Xu, Xu Ankang, Du Mengqi and others too much, he withdrew his hand reaching for the Chinese tunic suit, took out a gray suit and put it on.

Xu Deyu, who has admired himself in front of the mirror for a long time, feels that although he is not the model figure that "looks thin when dressed, but fleshy when undressed", he is also as handsome as a jade. Looking from left to right, he is a refined and handsome man.So, when the food coming from the tip of his nose became more and more fragrant, Xu Deyu swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva again, then opened the door suddenly, and walked towards the living room downstairs.

"It smells so good, Xiaojuan, what shall we have for dinner?"

"Boiled prawns, steamed osmanthus fish, fish-flavored eggplant, Kung Pao chicken, taro pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried broccoli, bean sprouts in soup, scrambled eggs with chives, fried potato shreds and pork bone overlord flower Soup." Xu Lijuan said without turning her head, her hands didn't stop at all, she took out the apple pie, beautiful biscuits and cakes from the oven, and started unmolding and arranging them after they cooled down a bit.

"Ah, there is no pickled pork with pickled vegetables and braised elbow that I like to eat?" Xu Deyu scratched his head. Compared with the relatively rich food at lunch, the dishes at night are a little light, right? !

Even though it was so far away, I still heard the sound of Xu Deyu swallowing saliva, and the sound of "grunt" coming out of his stomach in perfect harmony.

So, Xu Lijuan turned around in a rare way, and said with a smile: "Fifth Brother, eat lightly at night to keep healthy."

"Oh." Xu Deyu replied, he didn't even bother to think about Xu Lijuan's words distractedly, just because all the sweet and delicious smells lingered on the tip of his nose at this moment, so that at this moment, he suddenly felt his stomach growling. The sound of the sound was almost comparable to the sound of the "dong dong dong" war drums that would startle everyone eight hundred miles away, so he could no longer control his steps and quickly rushed downstairs.

Just like before, Xu Deyu had just approached the kitchen door, and before he could take a step forward, Xu Lijuan quickly stopped him.

"Fifth brother, I just made the dim sum, please help me taste it."

"What is this?" Xu Deyu, who was stopped by Xu Lijuan, was not angry. There was nothing he could do. The Xu family's title of "Kitchen Terminator" was passed down from generation to generation. So far, only Xu Lijuan can get along well in the kitchen.For other people, including Xu Deyu, as long as they take a step into the kitchen, what greets them, or should I say the neat and beautiful kitchen, is definitely a terrible disaster.

This is because when Xu Deyu lost a bet with others, he was forced to enter the kitchen to help, but the moment he entered the kitchen, he fell all over the place and put the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen neatly in the process of getting up. They knocked them all down, and spilled all the soup and meals Zhang Ma had made at that time on the ground, but he was miraculously not injured at all.

As for cooking?

Well, every unbelieving Xu family has almost burned the kitchen because of cooking a pot of ordinary porridge or frying a simple vegetable. In the end, they had to treat the kitchen like all the Xu family. Stay away.

Xu Lijuan, who sensed Xu Deyu's thoughts, said with a smile: "Fried milk, paired with a cup of milk tea, is the most suitable snack at this time. Take it to the living room and eat it with grandpa."

"Xiaojuan, isn't this too little?" The beautiful white plate painted with cyan patterns only contained four two-finger-long and wide fried milk, and next to it were two cups of milk tea that could be drunk in one gulp. How can something be enough to fill your stomach.

Xu Lijuan stared, and said angrily: "Fifth brother, don't you check what time it is? If it's three or four in the afternoon, you can have two or three plates of snacks. But it's already six o'clock, You eat two or three plates of dim sum, don't you plan to eat at night?"

Xu Deyu: "..." What should he say?Compared with those light meals at night, he really would rather choose to eat those delicious dim sum, especially these dim sum made by Xu Lijuan skillfully, the taste... is even more delicious than the ones he ate in five-star restaurants!

Perhaps, this is the taste of what everyone calls "happiness"?
"Hmph, did I hit it?!" Xu Lijuan poked Xu Deyu's arm, turned Xu Deyu's body forcefully in a circle, so that Xu Deyu's body was facing the living room, and then specifically told: "Don't be alone. Swallow alone."

"Xiaojuan, am I that kind of person?" Xu Deyu pursed his mouth, and while following Xu Lijuan's strength, he walked towards the living room, but as Xu Lijuan expected, he couldn't bear the fragrant smell that had been lingering on the tip of his nose. He hesitated to pick up a piece of fried milk and put it in his mouth, and took a bite. The crispy skin, soft and tender inside, and the unique fragrance of milk immediately conquered his stomach: "It's delicious..."

"Xiaojuan, I sincerely shed tears of sympathy for Xu Deyu who was deceived by you again!"

Xu Lijuan had just closed the kitchen door, and was about to make some more snacks, when she heard Ding Dong's voice with a trace of heartache: "You were so innocent and cute before, when did you become like this? Blink, opening your mouth is a black-bellied bastard lying!"

Xu Lijuan curled her lips and retorted: "When did I ever have a black belly?"

"When have you never been black-bellied?!" Because he was restricted from entering the kitchen, Ding Dong could only jump up and down on the screen: "Let's not talk about it, let's talk about today's matter, you are clearly the one The real 'kitchen terminator' who has never been seen before, and who will never come after, just disguised himself as a genius with superb cooking skills..."

"Isn't there no way..." Xu Lijuan spread her hands and said, "I can't tell them that I have already died once. In terms of age, it can be said to be the sum of several brothers, right?"

If it is said that Xu Deyou and other five people entered the kitchen to cook and only burned the kitchen, but most of the items in the kitchen can still be used and can be repaired with only a small amount of money, then as long as Xu Lijuan enters the kitchen, Even if you just stand there without moving anything, the electrical appliances in the kitchen will malfunction, explode, or turn off, so that every time Xu Lijuan wants to cook a meal for her family on a whim, she can mess up Xu's old house. The kitchen was knocked down and remodeled again.

Afterwards, the Xu family all forbade Xu Lijuan to take a step closer to the kitchen, and the kitchen affairs were completely left to Zhang Ma to arrange.

After the Xu family fell, Xu Lijuan, the former little princess of the Xu family, also fell to the bottom of her life.

At that time, Xu Lijuan not only had to face Lin Haocang and Sun Manxue's intentional or unintentional embarrassment and torture every day; The blatant embarrassment and frame-up of the noble daughters of noble families who have a high status; they also have to face the insults of many friends who have been close to each other, the undisguised contempt and contempt of others, and the ridicule and ridicule; more The sadness and despair of frequently receiving news of the distress of one's own relatives...

It is said that "people's potential is infinite." At that time, Xu Lijuan finally understood the meaning of this sentence deeply.Only when a person is pushed to the extreme can he burst out with endless power, the Xu family is like this, and she is no exception.

Because of this, Xu Lijuan took off the big hat of "Kitchen Terminator" in a short period of time. From making the most common home-cooked dishes, the kitchen can be messed up, and in the end she suddenly discovered that I am quite talented in the kitchen, and the hardships involved cannot be explained to outsiders.

But, even so, in the end, Xu Lijuan still persevered, and slowly relied on her own ability to accumulate the power of revenge, but on the surface she showed her innocence and stupidity as always, dutifully acting as a crazy lover Lin Haocang went to the "true love" girl who would not hesitate to destroy her family, just to lower the vigilance of the Lin family, Lin Haocang and others.

It's a pity that Xu Lijuan at that time was still too naive. Although Lin Haocang was temporarily paralyzed, the cunning old Lin was still unwilling to let her go, so after clearing away all the hidden forces of the Xu family, Without hesitation, she gave Sun Manxue a promise that "as long as Xu Lijuan is killed, she can be Lin Haocang's wife", so in the end, Xu Lijuan died so sadly in Sun Manxue's hands!
Xu Lijuan did not go to hell to reincarnate because she was full of grievances and resentment that she was cheated but could not get revenge. Instead, she wandered around the capital for decades in the form of a piao, listening to those people who thought they were keeping secrets most of the time. Of course, the conspiracy and tricks mentioned by the Lin family also included the series of traps and tricks set up by the Lin family against the Xu family...

Every time she listened to it, Xu Lijuan regretted it so much that she wished she could turn back time. Then, she would definitely teach the Lin family a serious lesson.Most of the time, Xu Lijuan was annoyed that she couldn't take revenge like the evil spirits in TV novels.

There was a time when Xu Lijuan, who was tortured by the desire for revenge and almost lost her sanity, felt a clear stream from the depths of her soul at the most critical moment, and thus calmed down. Otherwise, even if Xu Lijuan happened to be After the land was reborn, it was impossible to let go of the burden in his heart so quickly, and to attack the Lin family with a plan of "cannibalizing".

If it is said that Xu Lijuan's emotions would fluctuate violently every time Ding Dong mentioned this matter during the period after her rebirth, then at this moment, when she heard Ding Dong's words that seemed to be chattering, they actually implied deep meaning , Xu Lijuan suddenly found that the pain, annoyance, sadness and other emotions that she thought she would be very worried about, and perhaps impossible to forget in this new life, have all disappeared, replaced by a touch of relief and happiness...
