After chatting for a while, Aunt Li seemed happy again.
The sweet potatoes were roasted and taken out of the fire, filling half a basin.
Aunt Li warmly invited everyone to eat roasted sweet potatoes.
She was still partial and gave the biggest piece of sweet potato to Tang Xiaobao.
But Tang Xiaobao almost cried, with tears in his eyes. He peeled the skin slowly, took a bite, and almost spit it out.
Sweet potatoes are delicious, but for Tang Xiaobao, they are really hard to swallow.
When I was little, my family was poor and we couldn’t afford to eat rice, so we ate sweet potatoes. I ate so many that I probably have antibodies to them now…
Liu Qingqing held back her laughter and picked up one to eat.
She actually doesn't like eating this either.
But looking at Tang Xiaobao and seeing how enthusiastic Aunt Li was, she couldn't just stand by and watch.
Chen Mengyao was also eating, and she was eating very happily.
Alice took just one bite and her eyes lit up: "Ah, it's so delicious, Auntie, I love you so much. I can't eat this kind of delicacy in my hometown."
Tang Xiaobao was ashamed.
gourmet food?
Sweet potatoes are now fed to pigs, okay?
You are a princess, but you don’t eat as well as the pigs?
This is bullshit!
Everyone has their own preferences.
Alice really likes it.
But no matter how much she likes it, she just had dinner. She likes to eat a lot, for example, she especially likes tonight's New Year's Eve dinner, so she ate a little more. Now, no matter how delicious the roasted sweet potatoes are, she can't eat much.
After eating two pieces of roasted sweet potatoes, Alice began to burp. She no longer looked like a princess or a goddess. She was just a city girl who came to the countryside to experience life and was curious about everything.
Chen Mengyao ate one piece and then stopped.
She was also quite full.
Liu Qingqing had just finished eating when Aunt Li peeled another one for her.
She had no choice but to eat it again. Seeing that Aunt Li wanted to peel it, Liu Qingqing became anxious: "Auntie, I don't like eating this thing very much. You'd better not peel it for me."
"Don't you like it?" Aunt Li said with a smile, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's okay, Xiaobao loves it."
She peeled one for Tang Xiaobao and handed it to him.
Tang Xiaobao's face turned green.
He had just finished the biggest piece, and now his stomach was still churning. He was still eating? Eating any more would kill him!
"Auntie, I can't eat anymore." Tang Xiaobao's eyes were filled with tears.
Aunt Li said, "Xiaobao, if you like it, eat more. Don't be polite at my house."
Tang Xiaobao had no choice but to take the sweet potato and quickly pleaded, "Auntie, I really can't eat it anymore. Please don't peel it for me anymore."
Aunt Li didn't force it, and smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll put it here to feed the pigs tomorrow. If you want to eat it later, just come to my house, you can have as much as you want."
Chen Mengyao chuckled.
Feed the pigs?
Tang Xiaobao was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
After coughing, Chen Mengyao said to Tang Xiaobao, "Eat quickly, we have to go do some work later."
Aunt Li was stunned: "What else do you want to do?"
Liu Qingqing shook the bag of money and said, "Auntie, we still have to go distribute the bonuses."
"Xiaobao, even though you have money now, don't spend it recklessly. You know, saving money is like picking up soil with a needle, and spending money is like rolling sand with water. Don't forget your poverty when you have money. Save money when you have free time and spend it when you are in trouble..."
Aunt Li tried to persuade her for a while.
What could Tang Xiaobao say? He could only nod in agreement.
After coming out of Aunt Li's house, Tang Xiaobao squatted by the side of a field in the village and vomited violently.
The three girls were grinning so hard that they couldn't stop laughing.
After a long while, Tang Xiaobao stood up and said, "Oh, much better now. Trouble comes from the mouth. This is absolutely true. I can't say nonsense anymore."
"You brought this upon yourself, why are you blaming us?" Chen Mengyao said with a smile.
Alice couldn't help herself and said, "Honey, I really don't understand. If you don't like it, why do you have to eat it? You can just tell her directly."
"We can't hurt the old man's feelings." This matter is difficult to explain, but Tang Xiaobao couldn't help but explain it again.
…
Li Laoer, also known as Li Ruzong, is a very famous man in Seoul, nicknamed "Kou Laoer".
As for Li Laoer, he is not a bad person, he is just too stingy.
This is normal, otherwise he wouldn't be able to send a student to college just by farming.
For the sake of his family's interests, Li Laoer never cares about other people's feelings.
In the past, this was called parochial thinking.
hey-hey……
Li Laoer has only one son, Li Ming.
It has been more than a year since Li Ming graduated from university. Because he is too honest and a nerd, he has been looking for a job outside but has been met with setbacks. In short, he has returned to his hometown and has nothing to do for the time being.
In fact, he didn't want to come back, but his mother was in poor health, and he had been very filial since he was a child, so he finally came back.
After dinner, the family sat by the fire pit and watched the Spring Festival Gala.
Li Laoer looked at his son and felt very uncomfortable.
Li Ming put the melon seeds aside and started chatting with Li Laoer.
"Dad, have you looked for Uncle Tang?"
Li Laoer nodded and lowered his head feeling guilty.
Li Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "You shouldn't go looking for them."
Li Laoer didn't say anything.
"The relationship between our two families has been bad before, and what you did last time was indeed wrong. If you go to ask for help now, people in the village will gossip about you. It's okay for me to farm at home. After the New Year, I will also go to the planting base to grow medicinal herbs. I graduated from an agricultural university and my major is suitable for you. I can't starve people to death. I will never have a problem with food and clothing." Li Mingdao.
"What are you talking about? You're a college student, and you're just working as a worker in your hometown?" Li Laoer was a little angry. "Don't I understand you? You're really capable, but you're not good at speaking, you don't like to talk much, and you're too honest. If you want to stay at home and farm, then all the years I've spent sending you to school have been in vain."
