Chen Qing and his companions even brought back benches, beds, wardrobes, and everything else they had made at home. They intended to leave none of it for them, and those who brought their own benches sat at the round table.
The child could only stand by and eat with his bowl in his arms. There was no stool available. Su Le said to his second brother, "Second brother, could you please help us build four benches tomorrow?"
The second brother agreed while eating, "No problem, I'll help you make it with wood."
Su Le nodded.
Normally Chen Qing and the others eat very little, but today at Su Le's request, they all ate two bowls.
Chen Qing looked at the empty plate and said, "Su Zhiqing, your cooking is really delicious. Even if we don't add seasoning, we can't make boiled vegetables like that, and still have that light vegetable fragrance."
Su Le smiled and said, "This is the dish I eat when I am losing weight. You can also cook boiled broccoli and boiled baby cabbage in this way."
Wang Lan touched her own flesh and looked at Su Le's slender waist. "Su Zhiqing, you're already so thin, why are you still trying to lose weight?"
Su Le also touched his belly and said, "Sometimes I eat more at family gatherings, and then I just have some boiled vegetables in the evening. It's convenient and saves trouble." Although it was not cooked by myself, it was made by the nutritious chef at home.
Boss Li noticed the reactions of the people around him and quickly said, "Wife, you were so thin before you gave birth, it hurt my hands. Now you're much better. I still like you the way you are now."
Wang Lan blushed immediately, "What are you talking about? There are other people here."
Boss Li retorted, "What are you afraid of? They are all family!"
Su Le envied their relationship, it was so wonderful. He himself hadn't experienced it yet, in two lifetimes. When would it be his turn to experience sweet love?
Li Zichen saw it and took it to heart, but he was not as talkative as Boss Li. He quietly served the milk tea that Su Le had made in the kitchen and brought a bowl to everyone.
"Fifth brother, what is this? Can I drink it?" Li Laoer looked at the milk tea that Li Zichen handed to him with doubt.
Li Zichen said, "Drink it or not. If you don't want to drink it, give it to me!" and turned to leave.
Li Laoer quickly took it and said, "You're such a fool! I'm just asking."
Everyone else shared Li Laoer's gaze. The kid didn't care if he could drink it or not, just took a sip. Li Yaozu exclaimed, "It's delicious! Better than sugar water! Uncle! You're amazing!" He leaned over to Li Zichen, praising him profusely.
Li Zichen pointed at Su Le next to him and said, "Your aunt made it."
Li Yaozu flattered Su Le again. "Aunt, your cooking is delicious, and this is delicious too! You're amazing! You're even better than my mother! Aunt is as beautiful and gentle as a fairy."
Su Le pinched his face and said, "You are the only one who can talk! Drink slowly, be careful of the heat."
Li Yaozu nodded. He stood nearby, cup in hand, chatting non-stop with the other children of the Li family. The adults present all started drinking after hearing what Li Yaozu said. Chen Qing was the first to notice the milky taste. "Su Zhiqing, does this require a lot of milk powder?"
Wang Lan and Wang Xiang also looked at Su Le. Su Le shook his head and said, "Since there are many people here today, we'll put more in. If there are only two of us, then one cup is enough."
Wang Lan couldn't help but advise, "Su Zhiqing, don't spend so much money in the future. We are all family, so just be casual. You have already obtained the marriage certificate, and you still have to raise children in the future."
Chen Qing listened to her and pulled her. Unexpectedly, Su Le pretended to be serious and continued, "Thank you, Sister Lan, for reminding me. The main thing is that we are going to Beijing tomorrow. It's a rare occasion for us to get together, so we must eat and drink well. Plus, we are celebrating our new house."
Yao Cuifang breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that Su Le wouldn't listen and would get angry with Wang Lan. "Just be frugal in the future. Today is a happy day, don't worry too much." This sentence comforted both of them.
Li Zichen whispered softly in Su Le's ear, "I still have about a week. On the first day, we'll go visit my uncle and aunt. Then we'll look for a courtyard house you like and decide on the storefront you want to rent. Then I'll go back to the army."
Su Le nodded, "Your arrangement is still good! I miss my parents too."
After finishing his drink, Li Zichen went to tidy up the bed in the room. When he served the milk tea, he also boiled some water, drew some cold water, and mixed it. The temperature was just right. "Wife, the water is ready. Come take a shower first."
Su Le ignored other people's gazes and walked to Li Zichen's side with red ears. "Keep your voice down next time!"
Li Zichen looked at her running away and nodded, no way!
Yao Cuifang was reluctant to part with the unfinished milk tea, but she couldn't bear to disturb her any further, so she fidgeted. Li Zichen came over and said, "Take it home and drink it. I'll send it back to my second and third sisters-in-law tomorrow. I'll also need your help to wash it. This is five yuan each that my wife asked me to give you. I'll send it directly to the supply and marketing cooperative from now on, so you can just pick it up."
Yao Cuifang, along with Li Lao Da and Wang Lan, greeted the younger ones, held their cups, and walked back slowly.
"Wife, go get our money." Li Laoer and Li Laosan said at the same time.
Li Zichen quickly said, "This is too troublesome. You can save it for us first. Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, you have seen how fast my wife spends money. We still have to leave some capital for the children." Li Zichen touched his nose pretending to be embarrassed, and made a hushing expression after he finished speaking.
Chen Qing and Wang Xiang stopped and smiled. "I got it. I'll give it to you when you come back." Chen Qing said.
Wang Xiang laughed and said, "Is this a private savings?"
