Master Li greeted, "Comrade Li, please eat. You're welcome. Just be casual like you are at home."
"Okay." Li Shuping nodded with a smile.
"Boyan, you should also try Comrade Li's dumplings. They are definitely better than any dumplings you have ever eaten." Master Li called his son again.
"Really? Then you must try it."
Li Boyan waited for the master to move his chopsticks before picking up a dumpling, dipped it in vinegar and put it into his mouth.
The delicious taste made his eyes light up.
"It's really delicious. No wonder my mom didn't want to eat anything when she was sick. She just wanted to have a bite of your dumplings."
Li Shuping pursed her lips and smiled modestly.
Master Li said: "This pork and cabbage filling tastes better than the leek and egg filling I had at Gu's house last time."
Mother Gu: "The celery and beef filling tastes better, but it's a pity that you don't have the chance to eat it. Xiaoyan wouldn't let you eat it, and asked Wang Jiazhenyuan to bring it home. Wang and Lao Gu ate it to their heart's content."
"..." The shrimp that Li Yunshu had just picked up fell back into the plate because of what Gu's mother said.
This old woman always brings up things that are not relevant to the topic.
Master Li smiled and said, "That's a bargain for you and Lao Gu, but Lao Gu didn't have a good time today. He went out fishing and missed such delicious dumplings."
"Shuping's dumpling stall is not open anymore. It won't be easy to eat your dumplings again in the future." Mother Gu said to Li Shuping.
Li Shuping: "It's easy. We can rent a shop on the main street of Changning and open a dumpling shop. We are already renovating it. We estimate that we can open it in half a month."
Mother Gu: "No wonder you don't have a dumpling stall. It turns out you're upgrading your equipment and are opening a dumpling shop."
"It's a good idea to open a store. Now that the country is vigorously developing the economy, there is a bright future for individuals to open a store." Mr. Li looked at Li Shuping with appreciation, thinking that she was quite thoughtful and courageous as a female comrade.
Li Shuping smiled and said, "Then I will borrow your good wishes, Master. I hope your dumpling shop will have a bright future."
The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests, except for Li Yunshu.
After sitting for a while after dinner, Li Boyan asked the driver to drive his jeep to take Li Shuping back.
Originally, Mrs. Yu said that she would see Li Shuping after she finished her meal, but she fell asleep after taking the medicine, and when Li Shuping left, she was still asleep and did not see her.
Li Shuping did not go home directly, but asked the driver to take her to the door of the store.
Qin Ye sat on the doorstep to catch his breath. He saw a military vehicle stopped by the roadside. He looked at it curiously for a few more times. When he saw Aunt Li getting out of the vehicle, he stood up in shock.
How did Aunt Li get off the military vehicle?
"Thank you, young comrade." Li Shuping closed the car door and waved to the driver who sent her off.
After the car drove away, she turned around and walked into the store.
"Aunt Li, why did you get off the military vehicle?" Qin Ye asked curiously.
Li Shuping smiled and said, "An old neighbor of Captain Gu's family was sick and wanted to eat your dumplings, so they invited you to have a meal and then sent them back to you after dinner."
What kind of family is this, driving a military vehicle to send someone off?
Li Shuping checked the progress of the construction. The wall had been built and the stove was half built. Everything looked good, so she asked Wang Hongliang to continue according to this standard.
Li Family Study
"Well, I'll deal with it after the meeting." Li Boyan hung up the phone and pinched his eyebrows.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
"Enter."
Li Yunshu opened the door and walked in with a cup of coffee in her hand. "Second brother, I'll make you a cup of coffee. This coffee was brought back from the United States by a classmate from China. It tastes very authentic."
Li Yunshu placed a cup of coffee in a French ceramic cup in front of her second brother Li Boyan.
Li Boyan frowned slightly. He never liked drinking these foreign drinks, but since his adopted sister had already made it, he still took a sip.
“How does it taste?”
Li Boyan put down the cup and said, "It's bitter, just like Chinese medicine. I'm not used to it."
"You'll get used to it if you drink it more often. This coffee is really refreshing. Bring some with you when you leave."
"No, keep it for yourself. Drinking tea can also refresh your mind." Li Boyan refused.
Li Yunshu blurted out, "How can tea be compared with coffee?"
Li Boyan narrowed his eyes and tapped the table with his fingers. "In foreign countries, our tea is more expensive than coffee. Our country's tea culture has a long history and is more high-end than this bitter coffee."
He almost said that Li Yunshu was worshipping foreigners.
Li Yunshu's face flashed with embarrassment. After a moment of silence, she spoke again, "Second brother, when you come back this time, do you want to meet Guofang?"
The Guofang mentioned by Li Yunshu is her younger aunt Zheng Guofang, a high school Chinese teacher who is ten years old and has not yet married.
Li Boyan frowned, "What do you want to see her for?"
"Brother, Guofang has been waiting for you for so long, but you are still single. Zhenzhen will soon graduate from college, and you should also consider your personal issues."
When she just got married, Zheng Guofang fell in love with her second brother Li Boyan at first sight at the wedding, but her second sister-in-law was still alive at that time.
But a few days later, my second sister-in-law, a military doctor, died at her post.
After knowing Zheng Guofang's thoughts, Zheng's family and Li Yunshu wanted to bring her together with Li Boyan, but they were all rejected by Li Boyan.
Zheng Guofang was also a stubborn person. She had set her mind on Li Boyan, thinking that her infatuation would move him one day, and she had been dragging it on until now and had not married yet.
As Zheng Guofang's sister-in-law, Li Yunshu has never given up on bringing the two together.
Seeing that the second brother didn't say anything, Li Yunshu continued to persuade him: "Second brother, if the second sister-in-law has been gone for ten days, you should let it go. Guofang has waited for you for so long, and her best time has been wasted. Everyone in our circle says that she is stupid and infatuated. Do you have the heart to let down such an infatuated and silly girl?"
Li Boyan's brows furrowed a little more, "I said it many years ago, I have no intention of looking for another one. Your aunt is waiting for her, that's her own business, you didn't ask her to wait? You can't be responsible just because she waits for the old lady, right?"
How could he bear to let down such a foolish and infatuated girl?
What? Just because he doesn’t take responsibility for Zheng Guofang who has been waiting for him for more than a dozen years, he is a heartless man?
"That's not what I meant." Li Yunshu explained quickly, "I just think you should have someone who understands you and takes care of you. Guofang really likes you. The fact that she has been waiting for you for so long is enough to show how deep her feelings for you are. She must be the most suitable person for you..."
Li Boyan held her back and said, "You didn't have any thoughts about Zheng Guofang more than a decade ago, and you don't have any thoughts now, and you won't have any thoughts in the future. Instead of trying to persuade her here, you might as well persuade Zheng Guofang to find a suitable person to marry as soon as possible."
In his life, he will not look for another woman except his deceased wife Xu Wanhua.
Li Yunshu: “…”
