"You've met my dad?" Sophie asked in surprise.
Li Du thought hard. "He does look familiar, but I don't remember him. But what does he mean? Have we been together for a long time? "
Sophie frowned in distress. "God bless, why is he talking nonsense today?"
The old man was very energetic. He ran into the kitchen and looked at the two of them with a smile. His crescent moon-like eyes gave off an indescribable, strange look.
Looking at his eyes, Li Du suddenly realized why he felt that he looked familiar!
On the second day after the little bug entered Ah Meow's head, he went to the city park to look for stray cats and dogs to experiment on. In the end, he saw Sophie feeding the animals.
When he was about to leave, because the little bug had used up too much energy, he almost fainted. It was this old man who helped him and teased him about Sophie.
Mr. Martin looked at him with a smile and said, "You remember now? Young man, your memory is not bad. "
Li Du was speechless.
The dishes were served, and soon the table was full. Finally, the scallop and tofu soup were placed in the center of the table.
Mr. Martin gave Li Du a thumbs up, and his eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled. "What a great young man, these Chinese dishes look appetizing. I like Chinese food, Chinese food is very healthy!"
Mrs. Martin nodded in agreement. "Yes, we should eat more Chinese food in the future. The taste of Chinese food is also very unique. It's just that there are not many Chinese restaurants in Flagstaff."
Li Du said subconsciously, "If Mrs. Martin likes it, then I can do it for you in the future. I still have a lot of free time."
After saying this, he regretted it. It was a little rash.
Mrs. Martin smiled with satisfaction and said, "Our kitchen is always open for you. What a good young man."
Li Du smiled bitterly. He couldn't understand the current situation. Was this what it meant to be appointed? The two elders appointed him as their son-in-law?
Sophie separated the chopsticks and said, "Let's eat. These are bamboo chopsticks. Do you know how to use them?"
Mrs. Martin smiled again. "What a thoughtful child. Of course, I know how to use them. I've used them before. Our church's Jenny and her husband are Chinese, right?"
The two of them really knew how to use chopsticks. Sophie, on the other hand, did not know how to use them. Li Du had prepared forks and knives. These dishes could also be eaten with forks.
Mr. Martin smiled but said nothing. He used his chopsticks to put food in Mrs. Martin's bowl, and the two of them showed off their affection for each other in front of Sophie and Mr. Lee.
Sophie pretended not to see and fed a piece of salmon to Ah Meow. Ah Meow ate happily and meowed continuously.
The conversation finally returned to normal, and Mr. Martin began to ask about Li Du's work.
Li Du told them about his work at storage auctions, and then told them some interesting things that he had encountered at work.
Mrs. Martin listened attentively. When he spoke, the two of them put down their chopsticks. This detail made Li Du understand that the two of them were people with good manners.
After listening for a while, Mr. Martin said, "I remember that the kid from the Fox family is also in this business, right? The one who used pigeon blood as his own to write a blood love letter. "
Li Du was stunned. F * ck, was he talking about Hans?
Sophie answered his question. "Hans Fox. He's Lee's partner. They're good friends."
Mr. Martin took a deep breath, and then his gaze became a little strange.
Li Du reacted quickly and immediately understood what the other party was thinking. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. The two elders probably thought that he was a playboy like Hans!
At this moment, he felt a deep sense of helplessness. On one side was his brother, and on the other side was a woman. It was not easy for him to choose.
Without waiting for him to speak, Sophie said, "In terms of character, Lee and Hans are different. He and I met through Ah Meow. At that time, Ah Meow was still a stray cat and suffered a fatal injury. Lee spent 2,000 dollars to save it …"
Starting from Ah Meow, she told them everything she knew about Li Du.
Volunteering at the welfare home, the charity auction, helping Bones Community, helping to make mud monkeys at the charity party, and of course, solving the traffic jam and saving a life.
Li Du was a little embarrassed listening to her. The lady doctor gave him face and praised him from head to toe, from morality to character.
When Sophie finished, Mr. Martin immediately said, "You met with danger at Bones Community? Why didn't your mother and I know about it? "
The lady doctor stuck out her tongue and said carefully, "Oh, I was afraid of scaring you. Actually, it was nothing. Wasn't I saved by Lee?"
Mrs. Martin drew a cross on her chest, then pulled her into her arms and said, "God bless you, you are safe and sound. In the future, when you go to Bones Community for charity, you must take good care of yourself. "
"Bring Lee along. I think Lee is a reliable kid," Mr. Martin added.
With Sophie's good words, the two elders had a better impression of Li Du.
The meal was a happy one. When they found out that Li Du did not drive, Mr. Martin drove him back in his old Chevrolet.
The next day, they needed to deal with the books they got from the auction.
These books were mainly novels, but Li Du felt that the second-hand books were valuable.
He asked Godzilla to put the second-hand books together and he would identify their value. Hans would be in charge of the new books, categorizing them, and thinking of ways to sell them.
Hans gave him a laptop and said, "Search the internet, buddy. It's hard to determine the value of the old books. You're going to have a hard time."
Li Du did not need to suffer. He arranged the books neatly, released the little bug, and let it search for valuable books.
Relatively speaking, the older the book, the more valuable it was.
The little bug did not disappoint him and quickly flew to the position in front of him.
However, it did not land on a book, but on a photo album.
Li Du recalled the little bug and went up to take the photo album. He released it again later. The little bug was not interested in the remaining books. It flew around lazily in the air and flew back to his hand.
This way, his interest was all in this photo album. The photo album was quite thick, about the size of 32 pages. He opened the album and there were some desert landscape photos.
The first half of the photos were mainly cactuses, sand, and dry riverbeds. When he got to the back, there were some sphinxes, pyramids, and various ruins of buildings.
When he saw this, he knew that the photos were of Egypt. These photos were only black and white. The reverse side was yellow, and it felt soft in his hand. It was completely different from modern printed photos.
Although Li Du did not know much about photography, he knew that these photos were old and definitely not contemporary!
After a simple count, there were 65 photos in total. He closed the photo album and shouted, "Big Fox, come here. I think I found something good."
