Yan Jiecheng also felt that his father had gone a little too far.
"Dad, what you said is too much. They are 20 miles away from the factory. If you ask them to run there, they will have to go out in the middle of the night.
"Besides, we have our own car at home, but we have to borrow someone else's car. It's not embarrassing to tell others about it."
Yan Bugui drank his porridge calmly and said, "You guys are just too thin-skinned and inflexible. It's only 20 miles in total, and it only takes a long time to ride a bike. Yu Li can go to the factory with others, and then ride the bike back when the time comes.
"Besides, he will be off work the day after tomorrow, so he has to come back, and he can come back by car. How easy."
Yan Jiecheng was stunned and actually thought this was a good idea.
"That seems to be a good idea. How about you go and discuss it with Li Qinghe? You always help him with his laundry, and Li Qinghe is not a stingy person. He will definitely agree."
Nonsense, of course there is no problem, I gave my body to him, only you guys are so careless that you insist on giving him a hat.
Yu Li rolled her eyes and muttered to herself.
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go over and talk to him. Maybe I can get a free meal from him."
"Well, the eldest brother's wife is really smart. This saves a meal. Go quickly. If you go too late, they may have finished eating."
He was not worried about what would happen to Yu Li, as Lou Xiao'e was still eating in the room.
"Okay, I'll go then."
Yu Li sighed deeply. What kind of family is this? She has her own car, but she still wants to borrow it from others. She never knows what the old ladies in the courtyard will say.
Oh, you have a car but you don’t use it. You have to use someone else’s. You can’t even use your own daughter-in-law. You even scheme against your own family members. What kind of family is this? You’d better stay away from them in the future.
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have said it. I would have gone straight to Li Qinghe. But now I've been turned down.
When Yu Li arrived at Li Qinghe's house, they were eating.
"Yu Li is here, come quickly, let's eat together. I cooked a lot of dishes today, and I thought you wouldn't come, so I left some for you.
"Yu Li, please sit down quickly. Qinghe just told me that he wanted to invite you to eat with us." Lou Xiao'e also greeted her warmly and helped Yu Li get the bowl and chopsticks.
She actually wanted to help Li Qinghe wash the clothes, but was rejected.
He lives here now. If he still washes clothes for him, I don’t know what the people in the courtyard will say. There will inevitably be gossip.
She thought this made sense, so she didn't insist. Besides, she had already discussed it with Yu Li, so it would be bad to go back on her word.
So she was very friendly to Yu Li, who was helping Li Qinghe wash clothes.
Yu Li sat down obediently, looked at the fried meat and white rice on the table, and swallowed.
In the Yan family, you can’t even eat such food during the Chinese New Year.
"Then I'll be welcome."
Yu Li said this and quickly lowered her head to eat a mouthful of rice.
Although Li Qinghe would give her some meat or eggs every now and then, who would complain about having too much meat? Besides, since his own people had given it to him, he naturally wouldn't be polite.
"Don't be polite, eat quickly, I don't need your bite. From now on, as long as I'm at home, you can come directly in the evening, I guarantee you won't go hungry."
Li Qinghe took a bite of food and said with a smile.
Yu Li nodded vigorously. She had no time to talk. The rice was fragrant, the fried meat was greasy, and there was a lot of fat meat. Her mouth was already full, so she had no time to talk.
Compared with the steamed corn bread and fried cabbage we eat at home, there is a world of difference.
Yu Li almost cried while eating.
After eating a large bowl of rice in one breath, Yu Li finally had time to speak, "Um, Qinghe... I... I want to borrow your bicycle."
I felt a little embarrassed when I spoke. Although I knew Li Qinghe would definitely not refuse, I still felt ashamed when I actually opened my mouth.
"Hmm? Did something happen?"
Li Qinghe pretended not to know and asked.
Yu Li explained the reason.
"Well..." Li Qinghe hesitated for a moment and said, "How about this, I have to go to the factory tomorrow, you can come with me, and you can ride the bike away when we get to the factory."
Yu Li smiled and said, "Thank you Qinghe."
I knew that as long as I asked, Li Qinghe would definitely not refuse. He is a responsible person.
Not everyone is like my father-in-law, who is stingy and calculating, even his own family members are not spared.
She could guess that if she couldn't borrow money, then no one else would be able to borrow it either. Her father-in-law was the most fair person, and if one person couldn't borrow money, then no one could borrow it.
......
After finishing the meal, Yu Li looked very satisfied. She had never eaten so full at home, and even had to drink porridge slowly.
She stood up to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Lou Xiao'e, "Yu Li, go wash the clothes, I'll clean up here."
Yu Li thanked her, took out the basin and started working.
While Lou Xiao'e was washing dishes, Li Qinghe took the opportunity to flirt with Yu Li for a while, then sat down at the table, lit a cigarette, and took out an electrical engineering book to read.
After washing the clothes, I secretly put a few pieces of candy in Yu Li's pocket when I went out to see her off.
"Don't forget tomorrow. We need to leave early. The machine shop is far away."
"Yeah, I remember it." Yu Li nodded.
After that, Li Qinghe simply washed up and lay down on the bed, waiting quietly.
When Yu Li returned home, Yan Jiecheng was still awake and lying on the bed.
Seeing her come back, he quickly asked, "How is it, did Li Qinghe lend it to you?"
No matter what, the one who is coming is my wife's aunt. If she doesn't even have a bicycle, wouldn't she be laughed at? If other relatives find out, how will they look at me?
