Chapter 303 Being a Guest
Chapter 303 Being a Guest
"Thank you for the compliment, my dear! This is my grandson, Li Nian. He is over 6 years old this year and will be able to go to school next year."
Li Ze's grandson hid behind him, his eyes sparkling and his little face blushing with embarrassment, as if he knew they were talking about him.
Yue Xin shared the things he had just bought with him, and Li Nian looked at his grandfather.
"Thank you, my Lord and gentlemen."
Li Nian asked cautiously.
"Thank you!" After taking the things from Yue Xin's hand, he became bolder and tilted his head to ask his grandfather.
"Grandpa, is she the adult you've been talking about? But she doesn't look like the one in the portrait."
The childish words made everyone present laugh, and Qin Xingfu introduced himself to him seriously.
"Little Li Nian, my name is Qin Xingfu, nice to meet you! You can call me Aunt Qin or just my name."
Li Ze didn't quite agree.
"How can this be done? Your name cannot be called casually."
"A name is just a title. It doesn't matter. I'm not in the court now, so you still call me an adult."
Qin Xingfu has talked about the issue of address many times, but it still can't be corrected.
"We are all used to calling you that."
When Li Ze's neighbors saw that Li Ze had brought so many people back, they quickly called back the two brothers who were still turning the fields.
"Li Da, Li Er, there are a lot of people coming to your house, go back and take a look! They are so impressive."
When Li Ze’s two sons heard that someone had come to their house, they had to put down their work and take their wives home.
"Is it one of your relatives who came to visit? I don't even know them."
We have been neighbors for many years and are very familiar with each other.
"Aunt Wu, I don't know either. How could we have met if you haven't even seen us? Maybe we are just here for fun. My father likes to talk about him and adults, so he might be attracted by this."
Aunt Wu couldn't help but frowning when she heard this. The old Li's family did have a strange experience. They went to Xiang County quietly and gave their heirloom to Qin Xiang, who was an exiled prisoner at the time. They were also very skilled and bold. Later, their bet really paid off. Many people even came to visit them.
Old Li used to walk with his head held high some days. Aunt Wu thought it was probably the same for him, so she lost interest in it. It had been so many years, but he still talked about it so often that her ears were callused.
When they returned home, they found it very lively. The originally spacious yard suddenly seemed a little crowded. When they saw the people in the house, they were a little confused, as if the people in the painting had walked into reality.
Li Ze quickly introduced.
"Sir, this is my eldest son and daughter-in-law, Li Dajin and Luo Xiaohua, my second son and daughter-in-law, Li Xiaojin and Qian Fu. The other children in the family are all in school."
Seeing that they were stunned, Li Ze winked at his two sons, and then they saluted.
"Kana greets the adults!"
"You don't have to be so polite. I'm sorry to bother you by coming here! This is my husband, Yue Xin and Ying Bu, and these are the kids who are traveling with them, Ling He, Gong Shangwu, Mi Dan, Zhang Yin, and Cheng Li."
The group exchanged greetings back and forth, and Li Ze saw that they were a little silly, so he went into the house and took out some money for his two daughters-in-law.
"Go buy some good food to entertain the lady. If anyone asks, don't mention her identity. She doesn't like to be disturbed. Buy more. The lady has a good appetite."
Li Ze was embarrassed to say that she had a big appetite, which was a bit rude. Seeing that he was so generous, the two daughters-in-law took the money and went out to buy. Among the two brothers, Li Dajin reacted first. He felt that this was really a God-given opportunity! Their family was really going to rise straight up.
He hurried to make tea, while Li Xiaojin turned and went into the kitchen and started to light the fire to boil water.
When the two sisters-in-law were on their way out, Qian Fu asked.
"Sister-in-law, are we seeing things? Do they often eat delicacies from land and sea? I'm afraid we won't be able to buy anything good for the time being."
Luo Xiaohua thought about it.
"Father said before that adults eat the same as ordinary people. I have helped neighbors prepare banquets before. Let's go with the best. I'll go buy meat and you go buy vegetables. It will be faster this way. You can go back first after you finish shopping."
Qian Fu nodded. Her sister-in-law was a very nice person. The two of them went shopping separately.
"Hey, Mr. Li, what would you like to order today?"
In front of a chicken and duck slaughter shop, the boss asked Luo Xiaohua.
"Brother Lao, give me a chicken and a duck, the best kind. I'll pay for it first."
The boss caught a chicken and a duck and weighed them, and also talked to Luo Xiaohua.
"I just saw someone heading towards your house. You're going to host another banquet for your distinguished guests."
"Yes!"
Luo Xiaohua didn't say much else, the boss said after weighing.
"There are 42 in total, just give 40! Do you want to kill him now?"
"Okay, everything is taken care of. I'll go over there to sell the fish and come back to get it later."
After paying the money, Luo Xiaohua went to the next shop. Along the way, people asked who the visitor was. Luo Xiaohua said she didn't know and urged them to deal with it quickly as she had to go back to cook.
Qian Fu saw that some people looked sarcastic and she straightened her back. When others asked her where the distinguished guest came from, she answered very proudly.
"You're from Xianyang, give me the best ones. I don't want the wilted ones!"
After buying the vegetables, several vendors gathered together to guess.
"I guess he was fooled by Lao Li again. I heard he was quite generous in the next street."
"Yes, it is still Old Li who has the solution."
"It's the same thing again and again. Nothing new. I can even recite it by heart. Haha..."
A few people gathered together to joke around. Qian Fu wanted to come back and argue with them, but her steps stopped. She consoled herself secretly: They are just jealous that my father can see the adults. These people will never have this blessing in this life, the next life, or the next life! Even if the adults are standing in front of them, they won't know. She won't bother with these people.
After quickly buying groceries and returning home, Qian Fu saw that her husband was in the kitchen instead of in the living room, so she pulled him to a corner.
"Are you stupid? With such a good opportunity, why are you in the kitchen? Go and show your face more often. You can get rich just by hearing a word from the adults!"
Li Xiaojin shook his head and refused.
"I don't know what to say. I'm afraid you two are too busy to handle it. I'll help you."
Qian Fu was furious. She thought her husband was a hopeless case. Considering that there were outsiders around, she didn't want to quarrel with him and twisted his waist hard.
"Li Xiaojin, you..."
When Qian Fu wanted to scold him, Luo Xiaohua came back with something. She had to hold her anger back and glared at him fiercely. Li Xiaojin had no choice but to sit in the position to make the fire and was very considerate to help peel garlic. Qian Fu went to wash the vegetables angrily.
Luo Xiaohua noticed that the atmosphere between the two was a little strange. She didn't feel like speculating too much for a moment and concentrated on washing rice and cooking.
