Li Qinghe locked the car and unloaded everything in it.
He carried the things to the Yan family across the street. One of the bags contained the pork promised to Yan Bugui. It was inconvenient to take it out just now because Liu Haizhong was there, so it was a good opportunity to deliver it this time. Yan Bugui had already given the money when they had dinner last time.
"Third uncle, are you there?"
Li Qinghe knocked on the door, and soon the door opened, revealing Yu Li's smiling face.
"Qinghe, why are you here?" Yu Li was a little nervous when she saw Li Qinghe. After all, their relationship was unusual.
Li Qinghe winked at her and said, "I'm here to deliver something to the Third Master. Is he in there?"
"Yes, yes, Qinghe, come in quickly."
Yan Bugui came out, waved his hand with a smile, and then shouted inside: "Mother, pour some water quickly, Qinghe is here."
Li Qinghe quickly stopped him, "No, Third Uncle, I'll leave right after I put the things down. I still need Brother Zhuzi to help with the cooking."
As he said this, he placed a package on the table. "This is the pork I promised you. Look, it's all pork belly with fat four fingers thick."
"Oh, look, you have to deliver it in person." Yan Bugui was polite in his words, but his hands were not slow.
Hearing the word "meat", the three aunts, Yan Jiedi, and Yan Jiekuang also ran over and looked at the pork on the table with shining eyes.
"This meat is really good." The third aunt looked at the pork being carried out with a smile on her face.
The fat on the top of this piece of meat is almost as wide as a palm, and the meat underneath is also fat and lean, making people drool just by looking at it.
"Mom, let's stew it for dinner. I haven't eaten meat for more than two months."
"Yes, yes, let's have one in the evening."
Yan Jiedi and Yan Jiekuang were even more unconvincing and clamored for more meat.
Yan Bugui scolded, "Go away, what are you talking about eating meat? This is for the New Year. This thick piece of fat needs to be squeezed for oil, and the remaining oil residue can be used to stew vegetables."
The third aunt also echoed, "That's right, I support your father, let's wait until the New Year to eat it."
Having said that, he took it and hid it in the cupboard.
Yu Li looked at them and secretly curled her lips. She could eat this kind of meat every time she went to Li Qinghe's place. But now, no one is interested in eating such fatty meat and feels sick of it.
At this time, Yan Bugui rubbed his hands, glanced at Yu Li, and said embarrassedly: "By the way, Qinghe, I heard that our Yu Li wants you to introduce her to a job? Look at what this incident has caused. This child is just ignorant."
"Ah, that's true." Li Qinghe nodded with a smile and glanced at Yu Li. "But the New Year is coming soon, and I'm very busy these days. I'll go back to the steel mill in the next two days. I'll help ask and then give you a definite answer. Is that okay with you?"
I thought to myself, this old man Yan is really impatient. It's only been a short time, less than two days, and you can't wait to find out.
Yu Li also lowered her head and said nothing. She felt a little embarrassed that her father-in-law behaved like this.
"Yes, yes, yes, no hurry, no hurry, just ask slowly." Yan Bugui said quickly.
He was asking someone to do something for him, and he didn't show any appreciation. Today, the person even got him some pork, so he owed him a favor. It was already very good that the person agreed to help, so how could he dare to urge him?
Of course, he was not a fool. Although he was stingy, he understood all the rules. By asking this question today, he was telling Li Qinghe that he knew about this and would express his opinion.
In this way, he could naturally take the gifts and deliver them. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to give gifts to Li Qinghe. People would think that he was the one who taught Yu Li to work.
Maybe people have already guessed it, but we still have to do the surface work.
"Okay then. I have to go over there. Don't forget to bring Yu Li along when you bring me back."
After saying hello, Li Qinghe gave Yu Li a subtle smile and left with a bunch of things, making Yu Li blush.
As soon as he left, the three aunts hurried out.
"Old man, what did Li Qinghe say? Did you ask him?"
Yan Bugui put his hands on the stove to warm them and replied, "I haven't asked yet."
The third aunt was a little disappointed. "Oh, I thought there was a letter."
"I told you that you have long hair and short knowledge." Yan Bugui said unhappily, "The New Year is coming soon. With their relationship, shouldn't they visit more often? Just for a job, you ask them to make a special trip? They have never been perfunctory in doing things. As for today's dinner party, you said it was snowing so heavily, and no one could say anything if it was postponed for two days, but look at what they did? They said they would bring the food back even though it was snowing.
"And as for the pork just now, they said they would help with it, and they delivered it today. They are very conscientious, and this is the kind of person who can do great things.
"They are definitely more thoughtful than you, a woman. Just focus on cooking. Don't cook too much. Cook for two people. Maybe you can bring back some leftovers in the evening. I'll call you then."
The third aunt was embarrassed by what she said, "I was just saying it casually."
She also felt that what Yan Bugui said made sense. A job might be a big deal for someone like her, but in the eyes of some people it might just be a small matter and not worth a special trip.
Suddenly, she remembered that there was one less troublemaker to watch the fun today, so she asked, "Old man, what's going on with Xu Damao these days? He's been away from home every day. Yesterday I saw him leaving with a lot of stuff."
Yan Bugui replied casually, "Who knows, maybe he went back to his father's place to celebrate the New Year.
"Okay, don't think too much. Leave some local specialties for the next two days and I'll send them to Qinghe."
The three aunts looked puzzled, "Why send that thing? It's a waste of money and it doesn't even fill your stomach. It's better to send some fine grains."
In her opinion, local specialties are not as affordable as fine grains.
Yan Bugui said unhappily, "Just prepare it if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Don't you think about it? People in Qinghe are not short of this little grain. What they care about is rare things. Giving gifts is a science. If you give the right gift, they will be happy. If you give the wrong gift, not only will they be unhappy, but a good thing may turn into a bad thing."
The third aunt quickly agreed, "Okay, I understand. I'll go back to my parents' home in the next two days to see if there is anything rare."
"That's more like it."
......
Li Qinghe carried the things to the central courtyard and went straight into Yi Zhonghai's house.
"Uncle and aunt, they are all here. I am bothering you again."
The lady quickly pulled him to sit down, "Hurry up and sit down. Just tell us and we'll help you carry your things. Also, you don't need so much for a guest. It's such a waste."
She looked at the things in Li Qinghe's hands, most of which were meat, and felt a little distressed.
Auntie is one of the few good people in the orphanage. Although she doesn't have many roles in the play, it can be seen that she is a kind-hearted person.
It’s just that I don’t have much say at home, which makes me seem a little transparent.
"Haha, it's okay. It's just a treat. It's not good to be stingy." Li Qinghe replied with a smile.
Yi Zhonghai also said with a hint of reproach: "Look at you, you brought so many things just for a guest, but you had to rush to do it today. It's snowing outside. Aren't you afraid of dropping so many things?"
"It's okay, I'm riding steadily. Come on, leave the stuff here, I'll call Brother Zhuzi."
