Because the house was built in the middle of the mountain, the temperature difference in the morning and evening was huge, which made it hard for them to adapt to.
Li He had the same feeling. He felt that he had regressed from being a city dweller to a country bumpkin. Everything was inconvenient now.
Before, he could go out and buy pancakes, fruits, and deep-fried dough sticks. He could buy whatever he wanted. Those good days were gone forever.
He could only find a balance in other aspects. When he was free, he would go to the nearby river or reservoir to fish. There were many crucian carps and catfish here.
According to the rules, he had to treat people when he moved.
The only thing he was satisfied with was that there were five toilets in the house, and he had a separate toilet for squatting.
On the issue of going to the bathroom, he refused to compromise no matter what. Just like when he used to live on Sanmiao Street, he would go to the public toilet next door just to go to the bathroom because he didn't like the toilet at home.
Li He didn't invite others. He only invited Meng Jianguo, Mu Yan, Zhao Yongqi, Wang Hui, and a few other colleagues and classmates.
"Second Brother Li, you're getting more and more out of hand. You've invited everyone, but you didn't invite me." Liu Bo came with Wang Hui, so he came uninvited.
"Not as shameless as you." Li He curled his lips indifferently. He was very annoyed to see this guy.
"What kind of hatred do I have for you? Why do you hate me so much?" Liu Bo picked up a bunch of grapes on the table and put them in his mouth. He said while eating, "This is the bearing of the richest man in the world."
"Bearing?" Li He said disdainfully, "That's not worth much money. I'm afraid that I'll be pissed to death if you come."
"That's enough. You two quarrel as soon as you see each other. That's boring." Aiguo Jiang said with a smile, "If you can fight, don't talk. I'll admire you two for being real men."
"That's how they are. They can't change." He Fang was talking to Liu Bo's wife, Chen Chen. "Don't mind them. Eat an orange. Sugar oranges are very sweet."
"Thank you." Chen Chen was stunned for a long time. She almost didn't recognize her man!
Her man was usually either gentle and refined, or serious and serious, but this was the first time she had seen her man throw a tantrum!
He even cursed!
She was taken aback!
"That's enough, you two. You can't even stop eating." Wang Hui threw an apple at Liu Bo.
"You guys sit here first. I'll go do my work. I'll be done in a while." He Fang stood up to go to the kitchen.
"Let me help you." Zhao Yongqi's wife, Ma Jincai, volunteered to follow He Fang.
"You go and help too." Zhou Qing also drove his wife away.
"Sorry to trouble you, sister-in-law." Li He did not stop her.
When Zhou Qing saw his wife enter the kitchen, he lit a cigarette and asked Li He, "Did you see her?"
"Yes. She's a senior manager in an American beer company. She seems to be doing well." Li He didn't hide anything about Zhao Mingxia.
"She didn't mention me, did she?" Zhou Qing asked carelessly.
The people next to them all looked at Li He. They all knew what had happened to Zhou Qing.
"She did," Li He said with a smile, "she made it very clear that we should go our separate ways and not interfere with each other."
"In your dreams. She has to vent her anger." Wang Hui was also indignant.
Zhao Yongqi reminded, "You can't use your power to avenge a personal grudge. It's not good for anyone. Besides, it's been eight hundred years. Zhou Qing knows how to deal with it."
Zhou Qing said expressionlessly, "Yeah, there's no deep hatred between us. It's not her responsibility to accompany me for the rest of her life. What's there to be afraid of? My son is old enough to go to kindergarten now. What's the point of talking about this?"
Wang Hui said, "It's her responsibility to keep her marriage promise."
Zhao Yongqi retorted, "According to what you said, there wouldn't be such a thing as a divorce certificate."
Liu Bo patted Zhou Qing's shoulder and said, "I admire this attitude. I think we should learn from foreigners when it comes to marriage.
They think that marriage is not a moral issue.
A person has the right to choose to live with the person they like the most. Once they realize that their current marriage is a mistake, they have the right to make a second choice.
If one of the couples falls in love with a third party, neither party will be blamed.
Forcing two people who don't love each other to live together is cruel.
Western love and marriage are very different from ours. They will never use marriage as a constraint to fall in love again.
Even after a breakup or divorce, two people will still be friends. They treat love with reason, maturity and pragmatism. "
"You're finally saying something sensible." Li He couldn't help but look at Liu Bo in awe.
Zhao Qing mocked, "I've been in America for so many years. How could I not know? Besides, you know that's the West. How can it be the same as China? "
She didn't get along with Liu Bo either. She firmly opposed everything he said.
Liu Bo said calmly, "Engels had a famous saying: a marriage without love is immoral. Since there's no love, why should two people be together? "
Zhou Qing waved his hand. "Do you need to get so worked up about this trivial matter of mine? Westerners have another point of view: marriage is a personal matter, and no one can interfere. "
Everyone laughed.
Jiang Aiguo said, "Actually, what Liu Bo said makes a lot of sense. Waller has a novel called 'Dreams of the Covered Bridge'. All of you have read it before. It tells the story of a middle-aged man's extramarital love that was forged in four days.
It seems to have been made into a movie and caused a huge sensation in America.
There's also 'Love in Prague' and 'Love in the Piano'. They're all about extramarital affairs, but no one blamed the protagonist. Instead, they were sympathetic and understanding.
To put it bluntly, at some point in your life, you might meet your true love. "
Everyone in the room fell silent. Jiang Aiguo's words gave them a different way of thinking.
Wang Hui said, "According to what you said, Zhou Qing's matter is nothing at all. Do we have to applaud Zhao Mingxia? "
Jiang Aiguo waved his hand. "I didn't mean that. I just wanted to say that when it comes to marriage, there's no need to be so strict. A good ending is the right way."
"Alright, I'll refill your teacups." Li He stood up, picked up the thermos, and refilled everyone's teacups. Obviously, there was no point in discussing this topic any further.
Deep down, he knew that Wang Hui wasn't targeting Zhao Mingxia.
As everyone chatted, they began to make fun of Li He. The world's richest man didn't show his true colors, and was no different from a nouveau riche.
Zhou Qing laughed. "You should at least hire a housekeeper. That way, Boss He won't be tired."
