Chapter 159 Idol Burden
"Why not? There aren't any decent restaurants around here. Besides, dumplings are so delicious!"
"The dumplings are so big, the girl would feel embarrassed to eat them in big mouthfuls in front of you. Besides, the dumplings are eaten with vinegar or mashed garlic, which have strong smells. She would feel embarrassed to have them, and the meal would be tasteless." Ji Yuanyuan shook her head.
Li Xu asked again: "When we went shopping at the mall, didn't Xiao Meng like anything?"
Li Lei shook his head: "I asked her if she wanted to buy anything, and she said no."
"You have to be able to read people's expressions, brother." Li Yong was very anxious. "When they meet you for the first time, they will definitely not tell you what they want to buy or what they like, as if they want you to pay."
He covered his head with his hands, looking at her like a fool, "You have to observe carefully at this time. If she looks at something for more than three seconds, she must be interested in it."
Li Lei nodded thoughtfully.
"Alright, alright, there's no point in talking about the past." Li Xu said directly, "Xiaoyong, you should go home later, and Xiaolei, don't go back. When Aunt Liang comes over tomorrow, I'll go and test the waters. If the girl is willing, you can go out for a walk again."
Li Lei's expression was a little hesitant: "Sister, why don't we just forget it, I think..."
"Don't you like the girl?" Li Xu interrupted him directly.
Hearing this, Li Lei gave a bitter smile and said, "Why should I look down on her? She is young, pretty, and has a good job."
"Do you think Meng Xiaoning is pretty?" Zhang Kun asked suddenly.
Li Lei looked up and nodded stupidly. Seeing Zhang Kun's surprised expression, he asked suspiciously, "Isn't she pretty?"
Zhang Kun suppressed his laughter and nodded: "It's quite nice, it's settled, you stay here tonight and go back tomorrow afternoon."
Although Meng Xiaoning has a fair and clean face, her face can only be considered pretty and cute at best.
In Li Lei's eyes, Meng Xiaoning is good-looking, which means that there is still possibility between these two people.
Everyone heard the conversation between the two people just now.
Except for Li Lei, everyone else also reacted.
Looking at Li Lei's expression, everyone was smiling.
That's how the matter was settled. Li Yong stayed for a short while before riding his bike home.
Although it was already past three in the afternoon, Zhang Kun still sent Ji Yuanyuan to Qin Junshan to stay for a while.
There was no soup today, but Ji Yuanyuan took advantage of the opportunity and rushed to pour water for Qin Junshan while the nanny Xiao Qi was away.
When pouring water, he quietly added half of the spiritual spring water into Qin Junshan's cup.
The effect of the spiritual spring water is still very obvious. Qin Junshan's current condition is much better than when he first came here.
As long as Qin Junshan is healthy, Qin Mucheng will be happy. If Qin Mucheng is happy, she will be happy!
Ji Yuanyuan woke up early the next morning.
Li Xu is no longer at home, Li Lei is in the kitchen.
He is not very good at cooking, but he is not completely clueless.
I still know how to make a simple stir-fried noodles and fry two eggs.
When Ji Yuanyuan woke up, he was frying eggs. From the smell, the eggs seemed to be a little burnt.
Li Lei frowned and took out the egg. He looked at it over and over for a long time. Perhaps he felt that it didn't look very good, so he simply picked up the egg and ate it himself.
After destroying the corpse in a few bites, he started a fire again and took out an egg from the side.
This time, he turned the heat down to very low.
Finally, I fried an egg that looked pretty good.
He breathed a sigh of relief, put the eggs on the plate, and turned around...
When I turned around, I saw Ji Yuanyuan standing at the bedroom door.
Li Lei was startled and thought: Didn’t she see what happened just now?
"Yuanyuan, when did you wake up? Why didn't you say anything?" Li Lei asked guiltily.
Ji Yuanyuan rubbed his eyes and pretended to have just woken up: "Uncle, I just woke up!"
As she spoke, she yawned and walked into the bathroom.
After closing the bathroom door, Ji Yuanyuan allowed the corners of her mouth to rise.
Isn’t it too much of an idol burden for my uncle?
In the restaurant, Li Lei believed it and breathed a sigh of relief.
After Li Lei finished cooking, he dug the two brothers out of bed.
After dinner, the two brothers did their homework at home as usual, while Li Lei took Ji Yuanyuan to deliver food to Li Xu.
At eight o'clock, the busiest period in the store had passed, but it was not idle either, as customers still came in an endless stream.
Li Xu finished his meal in a hurry, put the bowl and chopsticks aside, and told Li Lei and Ji Yuanyuan: "You two keep an eye on it. If Xiao Lei has any questions, just ask Yuanyuan. She knows all the prices."
As she said this, she took off her apron and said, "I'm going to the market!"
In the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared.
Li Lei knew that Li Xu was going to find Liang Huimei, and for a moment, he felt uneasy.
The store was not far from the market, and Li Xu walked over in four or five minutes.
As soon as I entered the market, I saw Liang Huimei and Meng Xiaoning.
The mother and daughter were both sitting on a small stool, talking. Meng Xiaoning was wearing something different today than she was yesterday, a plaid short coat on top and black leggings underneath.
This outfit is not for work. Li Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But to be on the safe side, she still stepped forward.
Liang Huimei was talking to Meng Xiaoning. When she saw Li Xu, she stopped talking and greeted Li Xu with a smile: "Is the store not busy?"
Li Xu smiled and said, "Not bad!"
Seeing Li Xu, Meng Xiaoning looked a little uncomfortable.
Liang Huimei quickly ordered: "I'm a little hungry, go to the bun shop outside and buy me two buns."
Meng Xiaoning stood up, greeted Li Xu quietly, and then walked away slowly.
After Meng Xiaoning walked away, Li Xu came closer and sat on the mat that Meng Xiaoning had just sat on.
She smiled and joked with Liang Huimei: "From now on, I can't call you elder sister anymore. I have to call you aunt, otherwise there will be a generation gap."
Although Li Xu and Liang Huimei are only eleven or twelve years apart in age, Meng Xiaoning cannot mess up the generations when she is on a blind date with Li Lei.
Liang Huimei didn't care about this at all, and waved her hand and said, "You can call me anything!"
"Well, auntie, please don't think I'm rude. It's mainly because my brother is really old and the whole family is very worried. I came here just to ask, what is Xiaoning's impression of my Xiaolei?" Li Xu asked politely.
Liang Huimei was originally worried that Li Lei didn't like Meng Xiaoning, but after hearing what Li Xu said, she knew that this was almost certain.
However, they are the women, so they have to be reserved.
She thought for a moment and whispered, "To be honest, Xiaoning came back yesterday and told me that your brother is a very nice person, but he is a little cold to her..."
