Chapter 184 Thanks

Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen looked at him in confusion. What was so surprising about a toilet or a bathroom?

However, since it was their first visit, they couldn't be as casual as Shen Yu. They would find a chance to go and take a look later.

Xie Yan looked at Shen Yu speechlessly: "If it is as special as you described, someone would have started to imitate it a long time ago. You haven't heard of it, so it must be someone else's idea."

Shen Yu also thought this question was stupid, so he asked again: "Who helped you do this? Tell me so I can have someone do the same."

"Manager Zhou Da of Hongchang Construction Bank in the county, you can just go find him."

"Okay, by the way, when are you going to have a housewarming party? I'll come and join in the fun then."

"Five days later."

"Then I'll prepare a big gift for you." Shen Yu said generously.

Li Wanyue smiled but didn't hold out hope for a big gift from him. This guy was a bit stingy.

But no matter whether you are rich or poor, it is a token of your thoughtfulness. She welcomes you even without a gift, after all, you are a partner.

She let them sit and chat while she and her elder and second sister-in-law went to cook.

Old Mrs. Shen was also paying attention to how her two little brats were getting along with the Li family, and they were obviously very comfortable.

Especially her own grandson, she could see that he was very relaxed here, relaxed from the bottom of his heart.

She asked with a smile: "Suying, has Yueyue come to see me?"

"No."

Old Mrs. Shen was delighted: "What kind does she like?"

Zhao Suying frowned: "This... I asked her, but she couldn't tell me. It depends on your liking."

"That's right, so what do you want from your future son-in-law?"

"Just be a good person and treat Yueyue well."

…

After some casual chatting, Old Lady Shen also understood that Li's parents' attitude towards Li Wanyue's marriage was that she had good character, and secondly, Li Wanyue could make the decision herself.

It only matters if she likes the person herself. I won't force her to look at others.

At the same time, I also learned that the Li family has a good family tradition of harmony, unity and kindness.

Because there were two elderly people, Li Wanyue prepared several dishes suitable for them.

Stir-fried lotus pond, chicken with mushrooms, casserole with minced meat and tofu, scrambled eggs with mushrooms, stir-fried water spinach, stir-fried meat with kimchi, boiled shrimp, cold cucumber salad, cold wormwood salad, and preserved egg with ginger juice.

Made mushroom soup.

There were a lot of dishes on the table, but unexpectedly, Mr. and Mrs. Shen were attracted by a dish of stir-fried kimchi and meat.

Old Man Shen said, "Yue girl, how do you cook this bean and radish? Did you add vinegar? It doesn't taste like vinegar, it tastes sour, it's really appetizing in this season."

"It's homemade kimchi. You can stir-fry it with meat, or eat it cold. If you like it, I'll bring you some when you go back."

Li Wanyue didn't want to eat pickles all the time. In the hot summer, she thought of kimchi and made some herself.

I didn’t expect that everyone in my family liked it.

I gave some to my relatives and neighbors, and they also started to make some.

Old man Shen nodded quickly: "I like it. This is different from pickles."

Old Mrs. Shen agreed: "I like to eat it too."

Shen Yu asked: "No, you have such a delicious side dish, why didn't you tell Shopkeeper Li about the recipe?"

"Didn't I have time to tell him?"

"Then write down the recipe and I'll take it away. This kimchi is perfect for summer."

Li Wanyue agreed.

After a simple meal, the family was about to leave. Zhao Suying let them take some homemade sausages, kimchi, fruits and vegetables.

The Li family opened the boxes and checked. One box was filled with various kinds of clothes, shoes, handkerchiefs, a box of jewelry, study supplies, and books.

The other box contained ten paintings, five ornaments, and also a box of jewelry.

Obviously, the latter box was selected from the confiscated items.

"Oh my god, this dress is so beautiful. The flowers and butterflies on it look like real ones. The material is so good."

Zhao Suying counted them and found there were about ten pieces, both men's and women's. These were taken according to the number of people at home. These clothes alone cost a lot of money, and there were also these embroidered shoes.

The children's eyes were sparkling.

Zhao Suying picked out some smaller clothes that were obviously for children and asked the children to choose and try them on.

I also put the men's clothes for adults aside and let them choose and try them on.

Finally, the Li family has a set, and the key is that it is quite suitable. Even if some of them are a little loose, you can just modify them yourself.

It can be seen that Old Lady Shen had carefully inquired with her grandson, or let Xie Yan and Shen Yu choose.

The Li family was not short of money, and they usually wore fine cotton clothes. They only wore coarse cloth clothes when going to the fields. They also bought two sets of woolen and cotton clothes.

But it was the first time I had clothes made of silk, cotton and gauze.

Xiaolan chose a light purple soft smoke gauze skirt, Xiaotao chose a smokey blue moon silk skirt embroidered with crabapple flowers, and Xiaohe chose a watercolor peach blossom silk cotton skirt embroidered with colorful butterflies.

The children were so happy to wear embroidered clothes and shoes made of fine material for the first time, and they also wore handkerchiefs to match them.

Zhao Suying wore a crimson silk cotton skirt embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, Wang Guixiang wore a turquoise silk cotton dress embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, and Sun Xiuqin wore a marigold silk cotton dress.

Men's colors are dark blue, navy blue, pale green, and moon white.

Wait until Ang Lee and Lee Kang come back and try again.

The four treasures of the study and the books were left for the children.

Li Wanyue took a look at the jewelry prepared by Old Madam Shen, which was a set of stone faces inlaid with purple jade.

In the small wooden box in the other box, there were several gold, silver, jade hairpins, earrings, flower wraps, jade bracelets, jade crowns...

Zhao Suying gave the headdress to Li Wanyue, and asked her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to choose a piece of jewelry each.

Sun Xiuqin chose a gold hairpin, Wang Guixiang chose a jade bracelet, and the three girls each got a flower binding and a silver hairpin.

Keep the rest for now and give them to them when they are older.

Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous for such a young child to wear gold and jade when going out.

Li Wanyue opened the calligraphy and painting, which included a picture of pine and crane, orchid, green bamboo, landscape, farm life, and several pieces of calligraphy.

She chose a painting of orchids and a farmhouse to hang in her room, and Li Sandong also chose a painting of green bamboo.

Zhao Suying took the painting of pine and crane away. Li Dachuan and Li Erhu could not understand calligraphy and painting, and had no interest in it, so they kept it for the time being. After Xiaoan and Xiaokang had made their choice, they could just pick any one to hang.

The whole family happily enjoyed their own things.

Li Wanyue returned to the room and opened the box containing the flute. What was special about it?

The peony patterns carved on the surface and two lovely sparrows are lifelike.

I took another look at the inside, and saw that it was lined with silk cloth, with no interlayer or anything else.

Peony plus swallow, is this special? Is there any meaning?

She didn't want to figure it out anymore. Looking at the purple jade headdress, it was so beautiful. The old lady was so willing to spend so much on it.

Then I went to find a place to hang the painting.

On the other side, inside the carriage, Shen Yu asked flatteringly, "Brother Yan, did I do something wrong when I was at the Li family?"

Xie Yan felt a chill on his back after hearing his shout. He glanced at him and said, "Be more calm in the future and don't be so impetuous."

"Remember my brother's teachings."

Old Lady Shen said: "The Li family is really nice, they are all kind."

Old Man Shen agreed: "Yeah, I don't want to go back to town anymore. Our little courtyard is too lonely. The Li family is so lively. It would be great if I could live in their house."

"That's wishful thinking. What's the reason for you to live in someone else's house?" Old Mrs. Shen scolded with a smile.

Old Man Shen pondered: "If it really doesn't work, why don't we go to Daohua Village and build a small courtyard?"

"Whatever you think comes true." Old Mrs. Shen smiled and shook her head, but it's not impossible to think about it.

Old Man Shen clapped his hands and said, "Why not adopt Yue girl as your goddaughter? That way, we will be relatives and it's not impossible for us to live in their house."

Xie Yan looked at the two of them helplessly, what a thoughtful person they were.

The sound of horse hooves rang out on the country road, occasionally scaring away a few birds.
