Chapter 382: So good
The two sisters were standing side by side, making funny faces, which made Li Liuli hold her forehead with her hands.
"You two..."
Li Shanhu waved at Li Liuli, "Big sister, come here, I want to tell you something..."
"...I'm here."
Li Liuli was a little helpless, but her eyes were full of doting.
When she walked over, Li Zhenzhu pulled her to sit in the middle, squeezed her like she did when she was a child, and called her big sister with a smile.
Li Shanhu was not to be outdone, and hugged Li Liuli's arm and acted coquettishly.
Li Liuli was squeezed down on the back of the sofa, and the two sisters followed on the left and right, rubbing Li Liuli and making her scream, and the other two laughed.
The interaction between the three sisters was simple, but it made Fan Qingyi's eyes suddenly warm.
So good.
A Li is fine.
Zhu Zhu is fine.
Doudou is fine.
She and Brother Wenfeng are fine too.
That nightmare is finally over.
Things will get better and better in the future, right?
...
Li Wenfeng, along with a few security guards, decorated the front and back gardens with night lights. They were specially bought from Xiangcheng. They were powered and could emit a soft halo of light to illuminate the cold winter nights.
Worried that the weather would be too cold, he specially surrounded the largest pavilion with cotton curtains. When the time comes, the family can make tea and chat inside, which will be very beneficial.
He prepared everything he could think of.
After lunch, Fan Qingyi was a little homesick and busy. He had just washed a batch of coriander, spinach, green onions and ginger, and then turned around and asked Li Liuli to bring some coriander to wash.
"Mom, I've just washed a basin of scallions, enough for two meals."
Fan Qingyi said blankly, "Then the scallions..."
"I've washed more than a dozen of them, Shandong scallions, the kind that are as tall as me." Li Zhenzhu leaned over and said with a smile.
Fan Qingyi said, "I've washed them all, then, then...what else haven't been prepared? What about the menu? Chicken, duck, fish..."
"Brine, fry, pickle, everything is ready."
Li Liuli smiled and walked forward, supporting Fan Qingyi, "Mom, don't worry, we'll start cooking the New Year's Eve dinner after dinner, go to the living room and take a rest first, slow down."
As she said that, she winked at her sister.
Li Zhenzhu said, "Hey," walked over and took Fan Qingyi to the living room.
"That's right, we just finished lunch, and dinner will be in a few hours, and the New Year's Eve dinner will be even later. Didn't you miss Grandma Song the other day? There's only a little time left of this year, let's call Grandma Song and wish her a happy new year..."
Fan Qingyi was diverted to the topic and felt that she was too nervous, so she smiled.
Following the wishes of her two daughters, she went to the living room.
She chatted with Aunt Song for a while and invited them to visit Beijing after the New Year.
Aunt Song smiled and asked Jiang Yanhong to talk to her.
Fan Qingyi was confused and asked Jiang Yanhong who answered the phone, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
"Nothing."
Jiang Yanhong smiled, "It's Cheng Ran. He wrote a software and took it to a competition. A foreign electronics company took a fancy to it and wanted to buy it..."
"Really? Cheng Ran is really successful."
After hearing this, Fan Qingyi was also happy for the two of them, "Do you want us to go back and give Cheng Ran some courage?"
"No, no."
Jiang Yanhong's voice was filled with a smile that could not be expressed in words, "Cheng Ran has made an appointment with the other party to meet in Beijing. We need to discuss the details in person. He doesn't seem to be willing to sell it..."
At this point, she felt a little embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, you know a lot of people with Brother Wenfeng. Can you help Cheng Ran evaluate it then? My mother and I are afraid that Cheng Ran will suffer a loss. The other party seems to be very powerful abroad..."
"Of course! We have to be more cautious with foreign companies. I'll ask Sister Manning about it when we go to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow. She has a wide network of contacts and must know someone there." Fan Qingyi said with a smile.
Jiang Yanhong also smiled, "Great, there's another good news..."
"Another?" Fan Qingyi was surprised, "It's from Cheng Ran?"
"Yes! Cheng Ran consulted the admissions office of Q University and they said that if his software can win the gold medal in the competition, he can be admitted to the newly established electronic computer department of their school."
Fan Qingyi exclaimed, with a little more joy in his voice.
"This kid really did something big without making any noise! He's really capable..."
Jiang Yanhong smiled, "The result hasn't come out yet, it's uncertain..."
"Don't say such things, Cheng Ran will definitely succeed!" Fan Qingyi interrupted her and told her to spit three times on the ground to tell God that what she just said didn't count.
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yanhong groaned.
"Mom, why are you slapping me?"
"Nonsense, listen to your sister-in-law, spit three times quickly..."
"You guys..."
Jiang Yanhong couldn't stop laughing, and seeing her mother-in-law and Fan Qingyi insisting, she smiled and cooperated by spitting three times.
The two chatted for a few more words, and when they hung up the phone, Fan Qingyi asked Jiang Yanhong to tell her as soon as she had any news, and then they would arrange a family dinner to celebrate Cheng Ran's success.
Before he hung up the phone, Fan Qingyi saw the twins' faces approaching him and chuckled.
"Okay, okay, Mom admits that I haven't seen your grandma for so many years, and I'm nervous. Oh, I'm scared..."
After saying that, she smiled and sighed, "Mom doesn't know what I'm scared of, I'm just scared."
Li Zhenzhu shook her head, "No, Mom, my sister and I want to ask you, how will brother Chengran react if he knows that Doudou wants to be his master's supervisor?"
Fan Qingyi, "..."
Her heart, which had just been raised, was diverted again, and she followed with an "oh", "Yeah, I just forgot to tell your aunt Yanhong about this. No matter how fast Doudou is, she has to finish her doctorate first, right? The results of your brother Chengran's competition will be announced after the New Year, and Doudou won't be able to catch up to be his supervisor... right?"
Li Zhenzhu's eyes rolled around, and she smiled at Fan Qingyi.
"That girl's brain is better than mine and my elder sister's. It's hard to say, right, elder sister?"
Li Liuli frowned slightly and nodded slowly.
The two sisters chatted with Fan Qingyi here and there, Li Wenfeng led people to work around in the yard, and Li Shanhu was on the phone with Su Minghe in the house, doing exercises.
They had an appointment to have a New Year's Eve dinner, and they had dinner a little early. Li Wenfeng went to the kitchen to cook.
After dinner, Fan Qingyi's nervous mood was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. No matter how the two sisters pulled, they couldn't pull it back.
Fan Qingyi simply ignored it and picked up a knife to prepare to cook.
Just as she tied on her apron, the doorbell rang.
Li Shanhu saw the people outside and ran downstairs, "Mom, grandma is here."
Fan Qingyi's eyes widened, and the kitchen knife fell from her hand. If Li Liuli hadn't caught it quickly, it would have hit her feet.
"Yiyi, come on, your mother and Mr. Gu are here."
Li Wenfeng came down from the stairs, putting on his windbreaker while walking, and took down Fan Qingyi's windbreaker of the same style.
Li Zhenzhu quickly untied her apron and tidied Fan Qingyi's hair.
Li Wenfeng just walked to her side and helped her put on her windbreaker.
Fan Qingyi was stiff, and she opened her mouth to speak, but couldn't find her voice, and her eyes were red with anxiety.
Li Wenfeng squeezed her hand and gently stroked her back.
"Don't be nervous, let's go and greet them together. Mr. Gu said your mother has been waiting for many years and has been looking forward to seeing you. She is more nervous and afraid than you are..."
