The car stopped at an intersection in the town. Li Kuo had just gotten out of the car. Li Yan hesitated for a moment before stopping him. She gave him a stack of money and told him not to be too shabby.
Li Kuo immediately beamed with joy. After taking the money, he hailed a taxi, got in, and ran away.
He Fang said, "You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Since you care about him so much, just talk to him nicely. There's no need to pull a long face and act like he's your enemy."
Li Yan said, "Do you think he's someone who can understand? It's not like I haven't said anything nice to him, but he doesn't listen to me at all. "
The two of them chatted as they walked. When they entered the market, she saw a stall selling fish. She picked up two, asked the stall owner to weigh them, and paid for them.
"He's the same as your brother. Look at how he was bossing around Five a few years ago. He only scolded and scolded. Look at him now, he's much better."
He Fang picked up a bunch of water spinach. It didn't feel fresh, so she put it down and continued to look at the stall in front of her.
"Sis, don't talk about me. You've scolded Brother Xiao Long a lot."
Li Yan laughed and exposed He Fang's shortcomings. He Fang had never been kind to He Long, so it was like the pot calling the kettle black.
He Fang said, "Him? Do you think I should care about him now? The child is about to graduate from high school. If I scold him too harshly, he'll lose face. If I scold him too lightly, he'll just ignore it. Let him be. "
"I treated a client to a meal a few days ago, so I went to their restaurant. Business is pretty good. They make a lot of money every year. I think Brother Xiao Long is pretty good." He walked to the meat table and picked a piece of meat. However, he was stopped by He Fang.
He Fang said, "Pick a five-flowered one. Otherwise, your brother will nag you all day."
Li He had always been the kind of person who wouldn't even help a fallen oil bottle. He hadn't been in the kitchen much in the past few years, and he ate very casually. However, he was very picky when it came to meat. If it wasn't to his liking, he could sulk all day like a child.
As soon as they arrived home, the women in the house began to get busy. Some dishes had to be prepared in advance.
Li He leaned against the kitchen door, holding a teapot. He looked at the busy He Fang and said, "I say, it would be great to hire a nanny at home. Look, isn't it tiring? Why do I have to do everything myself? "
"Thank you, but I have the life of a servant girl. I don't dare to get the princess syndrome." He Fang rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's just food for the few of us. If we have to find someone, arranging this and that would be too much trouble for us. You can rest. Anyway, you don't have to do anything. Don't worry about it."
"Exactly, exactly. I'm not used to having other people at home either. " Li Yan chimed in from the side. "I don't even want my brother to go occasionally, let alone others. It's so comfortable to be alone at home."
Just as he finished speaking, a dog barked from outside, followed by a car horn.
A taxi stopped at the door. Li Kuo got out first, put the fruits in his hand on the ground, and then used his hand to block the roof of the car. A girl in a white dress got out of the car.
"This guy is quite a gentleman." Li He stood at the door and looked at the girl.
The girl had her hair tied up in a bun. She was not tall, but not short among girls. She was wearing a blue printed T-shirt and a white short skirt. She looked elegant and intellectual.
Looking at Li Kuo next to her, he felt like a good cabbage had been taken away by a pig.
"This is Peng Yue, right?" He Fang was the first to greet them. She walked up to them with a smile, took the girl's hand, and said, "Let's go in. Make yourself at home."
"This is sister-in-law, right? She's so beautiful." Peng Yue didn't need Li Kuo's introduction. She already knew who He Fang was. She knew Li Yan among the two young women present, so it was obvious who He Fang was.
"This is big brother." Li Kuo hurriedly introduced Li He.
"Hello, big brother." Peng Yue was full of smiles.
"Come in. Li Kuo, pour some tea for me." Based on his first impression, Li He did not have any prejudice against girls.
Li Kuo ran back and forth to pour tea and get fruits for Peng Yue, which made Peng Yue feel embarrassed. She even accidentally pinched Li Kuo's arm. This small action caught the Old Madam's attention.
Seeing He Fang and Li Yan busy in the kitchen, Peng Yue rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen to help.
The Old Madam said to Li He in a low voice, "This girl is not bad. Why is it that I don't understand?"
How could such a good girl worry about Li Kuo?
Although Li Kuo was not bad, the problem was that this was a girl from the city!
And a city girl from the capital!
Li He said, "You can tell in such a short time?"
The Old Madam said confidently, "It's not pretentious. There's nothing fake about it."
"That's it?" Li He asked.
"What else do you want? This girl is not bad. " The Old Madam said as she looked at Li Kuo, who was smiling foolishly at Peng Yue. "This kid is very lucky."
"Let's see." Li He did not know what the Old Madam was thinking.
There were three women busy in the kitchen. The Old Madam could not help but come out after a while. She said with certainty, "At least she is not spoiled. She can cook well."
"That's true." Li He had a good impression of this girl.
Li Kuo sneaked over to Li He and said, "Brother, I didn't say anything."
"Didn't say anything?" Li He asked.
Li Kuo felt wronged and said, "Who do you think she is? I only brought her to my sister's shop a few times. I didn't really mention you. I only said that you are a businessman."
"Oh, that's good." Li He was happy. This kid was not completely stupid. He kicked him and said, "Don't just stand there. Clear the table and go serve the dishes."
With the help of the three women, the meal was prepared very quickly and it was very sumptuous.
"Let's drink some wine." To everyone's surprise, it was the Old Madam who suggested drinking wine. She brought two bottles of red wine.
"Thank you, Auntie." What was even more unexpected was that Peng Yue did not object. She even took the initiative to take the Old Madam's bottle opener and opened the red wine. After pouring the wine, she sniffed the glass, shook it, and took a sip. She looked at the bottle curiously and said, "This red wine is really good. I have never seen or drunk this brand of red wine before."
"Drink as much as you can. This is a relatively unpopular red wine." He Fang smiled and explained, "I think it is made in Georgia. It is relatively rare in our country. If you like it, I will bring you two bottles when you leave."
Peng Yue smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, if I want to drink, I can come over directly."
"Then come often." This made He Fang like her. This girl knew when to advance and when to retreat.
