Peng Yue was a gentle person, but that did not mean that she would compromise when it came to the principles of marriage.
Li Yi scratched her head and said, "You investigated him? It can't be a misunderstanding, can it? "
Five said, "I don't have the time to investigate him. He often comes and goes with the girl. We're not blind and can't see it. We've heard about it so many times that we've gotten calluses."
Li Yi said, "As the saying goes, to catch a thief, one must catch the dirt. I think that being with a girl doesn't prove anything. Hearsay is not enough. Don't accuse him wrongly. It's better to investigate clearly. "
Five said, "Then just take it that they're close friends and it has nothing to do with me. I don't have the time to care about your father's thoughts. It's up to him whether he's good or bad."
Li Yi nodded in agreement. No matter what, Li Kuo was her Little Uncle and her elder. It was not her place to judge him.
She patted her thighs and stood up. "I'm going to sleep. Don't be angry. You know my father's temper. You have to learn from my Old Madam. If you coax him more, he'll be fine."
Five said, "That's why I'm not convinced by anyone but your mother. Not only can she stand your father's temper, but she can also control him. It's not easy. Alright, hurry up and go to sleep. "
Li Yi went upstairs and passed by her father's study. She deliberately walked slowly so that she did not hear anything. Then, she went to her bedroom and slept soundly on the bed.
When He Fang and Lao Wu finished preparing lunch and called her to eat, she was lying on her back with her hands spread out over the cup. He Fang shook her with her hand and she muttered unwillingly, "I still want to sleep for a while. Don't bother me, okay?"
He Fang said, "Didn't we agree just now? Sleep for a while and wake up for lunch. Get up first and continue sleeping after lunch."
Li Yi waved her hand, her eyes still closed. She said weakly, "I'm begging you, Mom. You guys eat."
He Fang saw that she was so sleepy and could not bear to force her to get up again. He quietly closed the door and went downstairs.
Li Yi opened her eyes and saw that it was already five o 'clock. She was shocked. She didn't expect that she could sleep so well.
He washed his face in the bathroom and wandered around downstairs. He couldn't find anyone, so he patted his empty stomach and dragged his body into the kitchen. He found some leftovers from lunch and soaked them in hot water. Just as he picked up the bowl and was about to eat, he heard his mother scream, "How can I eat that thing when it's cold? Put it down quickly."
Li Yi reluctantly let go of her bowl and chopsticks. "I'm starving. I'll eat something to fill my stomach first."
He Fang said flatly, "No, I originally heated it up for you and gave it to you when you woke up. Who knew that you would sleep until now? All the food would be cold by now. Sit on the sofa for a while. I'll heat up the dishes for you. "
As he spoke, he began to order the hot dishes.
"Thank you, Mom." Li Yi did not enter the living room. She leaned against the sliding door and swallowed her saliva as she watched her mother cook.
Her mother's dish had just been warmed up. She picked up a piece of chicken drumstick and nibbled on it with relish.
He Fang cooked her egg fried rice and scooped it into a bowl. She handed it to her and said, "Eat slowly. No one will snatch it away for you."
"Leave the dishes here. Eat here. Don't go to the dining table." Li Yi asked as she ate, "Where did you go? I came down to look for you and didn't see you. I thought you went out with Dad."
He Fang said, "Uncle Song Gu and the others are busy here all year round. They can't stay idle. It's almost the New Year, so they have to show their gratitude. Wang Ziwen will definitely make arrangements. But that's his arrangement. I still have to prepare a copy for them.
Your father has a drinking party tonight and probably won't be back for dinner. Leave some space for your stomach. It's almost dinner time. "
"Okay." Li Yi finished her bowl of egg fried rice and pushed the bowl away. She then asked, "Who are we going with?"
He Fang said, "I think it's that Fu Dahai. Your father really can't beat him, so he has to go. There's also Su Ming, Zhang Weisheng, Xu Heng, and a few others."
"The chubby one? The one with smiling eyes? "
He Fang said, "Fu Dahai's father. Haven't you met him before?"
Li Yi said, "Seeing this father and son pair, I finally understand what 'like father like son' means. They're a pair of clowns. I don't need anyone to introduce them to know that they're father and son."
She didn't like this pair of father and son, but she didn't hate them either.
At night, when Li He reached home, He Fang and her mother's dinner had just been served. He brewed a cup of tea and asked with a smile, "Why are you two eating so late?"
Li Yi said, "I slept until five before I woke up to eat. I'm not hungry. Didn't you drink?"
She sniffed at her father's body.
Li He said, "Your father cherishes his life very much now. I don't dare to drink. You think too highly of me."
Li Yi said, "What date are we going back to the village?"
Li He said, "When your mother's school is on break, we'll go together. If you're bored at home, you can go to a class reunion or go on a holiday. It's not a problem."
He Fang said, "The snow is so heavy. Where can we go? It's better to stay at home."
Li Yi said, "Old Madam, I don't like hearing this. According to you, when the snow is heavy, people don't have to go to work, go to school, and stand guard. If this goes on, the country won't be a country anymore.
The heavier the snow, the more we have to face it. "
Li He raised the teapot and took a sip of tea. He smiled and said, "Then don't listen to your mother. When it's time to go out and have fun, show the vigor of a young man."
"Second Brother Li …" Before Li Yi could finish, she was hit on the head by her mother. He Fang reprimanded her, "Second Brother Li is not for you to call? You're so disrespectful. You need to be taught a lesson. "
Li Yi stuck out her tongue aggrievedly.
Li He said, "Names are meant to be called. What's the big deal? There's no point in arguing. "
For so many years, other than his wife, no one had dared to call him that. Now, he suddenly felt a sense of closeness.
Li Yi echoed, "That's right, that's right. Didn't you call him that too? "
He Fang said, "I can call him that, but is it for you to call him that?"
Li He said, "What's the big deal? There's no end to it."
Li Yi said, "My mother has a lot of things to do. It's not like you don't know that Second Brother Li is a term of endearment. Actually, I really don't want to go to any class reunion. I don't keep in touch with my middle school classmates anymore. Although I do keep in touch with my high school classmates, I've been abroad for many years and haven't kept in touch much. Girls are very narrow-minded. There are only two that I get along well with, and they're both abroad. As for boys, there are quite a few who get along well with me. "
She beamed and said, "If we keep in touch frequently, you won't suspect me of puppy love, right?"
He Fang said, "How old are you? Puppy love? You're shameless. It's up to you how you want to deal with your friends. Your father and I don't care. The only thing is, you're not allowed to go to Afghanistan. "
Li Yi said unhappily, "Are you being reasonable?"
