Chapter 205 Wen Leyu: I miss you!
The next morning, Li Ye was still sleeping when he heard someone knocking on the door.
Then Li Ye heard Wang Qiangdong asking outside the yard: "Who? Who are you looking for?"
Then Wen Leyu's business call came from outside the door: "I'm looking for Li Ye."
Wang Qiangdong asked seriously: "Who are you?"
Wen Leyu outside the door didn't answer, but Li Ye had already come out wearing slippers and a coat.
"It's my classmate, looking for me."
"Oh, I'll open the door for you."
"No, I'll drive it, you can go back to the house and rest!"
"oh oh!"
Wang Qiangdong quickly slipped back to the side room.
He lived in the side room of the courtyard with Wang Jianqiang yesterday. He got up early this morning and swept all the snow in the yard.
But he never expected that Wen Leyu was stopped outside. Seeing Li Ye walking in a hurry barefoot in slippers, how could he not know what he had done?
Li Ye hurriedly opened the door and saw Wen Leyu standing outside in a big cotton jacket. There were two streaks of frost on his handsome eyebrows and his little nose was red from the cold.
When Wen Leyu saw Li Ye, who was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and long pants and a coat, he rolled his eyes.
The two of them stared at each other, and after a few seconds they spoke almost at the same time.
"Don't you think it's cold?"
"Aren't you cold?"
“.”
"Hurry and get inside!"
"Hurry and get inside!"
“.”
“Hahahaha~”
“Hahahaha~”
The two consecutive "telepathic" conversations made the two young people laugh heartily.
"Come on, come on, come inside. Why did you come here alone in this weather?"
Li Ye took Wen Leyu's hand and walked inside.
"You told me you'd arrive yesterday. It was snowing so heavily that I didn't know what was going on. I called Jin Peng this morning and he told me you were at Zaojun Temple, so I came!"
Wen Leyu was still a little reserved and didn't dare to say "I miss you" directly, but the look she gave Li Ye made Li Ye clearly feel the same meaning.
Li Ye subconsciously rubbed her head. She didn't hide, but just meowed and shook her head like a big orange cat.
"In this kind of weather, you should have asked Jin Peng to call me, and I would have gone directly to your house. What if you slipped on the road?"
"No way!" Wen Leyu said proudly, "These days since you left, I've been practicing stabbing every day, and my lower body is much more solid than before."
Li Ye pulled her into the house and advised: "Thrust fighting is a way to strengthen your body. Don't practice too hard, otherwise your legs will become thicker."
"How can it be thick? I think it has become thinner!"
Wen Leyu answered subconsciously, and then realized something. He tilted his head and glanced at Li Ye, wanting to see if he had any evil thoughts.
Unfortunately, Li Ye’s skills are already very high, so how could it be possible for his girlfriend to see through his true identity so easily?
He moved a small stool, placed it next to the radiator, and pulled Wen Leyu over to sit down.
"Warm your hands first, I'll change my clothes!"
"Um."
Wen Leyu sat obediently in front of the radiator, but when he heard the sound of Li Ye getting dressed, he turned his head furtively and stretched his neck to look over.
When she saw Li Ye wearing a weird-looking sweater, she turned her head around quickly and chuckled twice.
That was the sweater she knitted for Li Ye. The twisted stitches and never-the-same-again patterns made it look like an abstract work of art no matter how you looked at it.
Wen Leyu revised it twice and finally finished it before the New Year. However, it was really not presentable, so he mixed it with a pile of New Year's goods and handed it to Li Ye before the New Year.
I didn't expect that Li Ye looks so good wearing it now.
Li Ye finished putting on his clothes and asked, "Xiaoyu, have you eaten?"
Wen Leyu replied: "I ate a small bowl of noodles, which my mother made."
Li Ye put on his clothes and asked, "I have some mutton soup from yesterday. Would you like to have a bowl with me?"
Wen Leyu stuck out her tongue and nodded, "Okay, I'll have a bowl with you."
Wow, Wen Leyu really enjoyed this bowl of noodles.
In the middle of winter, hot mutton soup with a little vinegar is both appetizing and warming. Anyway, the girl never hides her appetite in front of Li Ye, and she has no embarrassment in eating one bowl after another.
Li Ye said with relief: "It seems that you are not lying. You have really been practicing stabbing hard these days."
You can only eat more if you exercise. If you sit still all day, your appetite will not increase.
Wen Leyu picked the fat ones into Li Ye's bowl and said, "My mother laughed at me a few days ago, saying that fortunately the conditions are better now, otherwise she wouldn't be able to support me!"
Li Ye immediately replied: "That's okay, I will take care of you and make sure you become plump and white."
“.”
Wen Leyu narrowed her eyes and looked at Li Ye, and after a few seconds she uttered a word in a coquettish tone.
"Go away~"
Why would Li Ye leave? He is not a thin-skinned and tender-faced rookie.
He held his chin with one hand and looked at Wen Leyu steadily.
Wen Leyu's complexion has been getting better and better. She used to have pale skin, but now it is obviously fair and rosy, and looks very lovely.
The biggest difference between girls of this era and girls of later generations is that they are less make-up-conscious, but have healthy physiques and abundant blood, and the ten crescents on their fingers are big and white.
Because they don’t have so much mental consumption, they don’t stay up late, don’t watch TV series, don’t play games, and they don’t worry about whether to drink milk tea or Amul today.
Of course, this is under the premise of ensuring nutrition. After a year and a half of recuperation, Wen Leyu has completely recovered.
Facing Li Ye's wanton gaze, Wen Leyu calmly drank the last mouthful of mutton soup before pushing the bowl away.
"You wash the dishes today~"
"Okay, wait for me for ten minutes, then I'll go to your house."
Wen Leyu blinked: "Why are you going to my house?"
Li Ye laughed and said, "I got so many New Year gifts before the New Year, shouldn't I give you a return gift?"
Wen Leyu curled her lips and said, "You are not an outsider, you are really being polite."
Listen to what the girl said. Does it sound good to you? Does it make you feel good?
Then Li Ye dragged out two large boxes. Wen Leyu opened them excitedly and saw two boxes full of clothes and shoes in front of her.
Wen Leyu looked at the things in the box in astonishment. After a long while, he blurted out, "Did you hide money last time?"
When I went to Hong Kong Island in 1983, the RMB was not very useful. The last time Li Yeliang paid out five thousand US dollars, he still had five thousand left.
Wen Leyu may seem cute and gentle, but she is actually very sharp-minded and she subconsciously speaks the truth.
"No, why would I hide money?" Li Ye said calmly, "I took the English manuscript to Hong Kong Island, and they decided to use it, and then gave me a part of the manuscript fee first."
"I thought I might have to hand it in if I took it back, so I might as well spend it! This big box is yours, and that big box belongs to your mom, your dad, and your brother. This was actually bought with your money."
Wen Leyu picked up a coat and tried it on, then changed into a windbreaker to show off. Her pretty eyebrows curved into crescents with joy, and an unstoppable smile began to grow on her face, just like the blooming forsythia in spring.
Does she want the things in this box?
No, what she cared about was Li Ye’s “partiality”.
There were two large boxes of gifts, Wen Leyu and she took one box alone, while her father, mother and brother shared one box.
What is this called?
This is called having good vision. Even though the other three people in the family are all powerful and influential, the most useful one is Wen Leyu. Li Ye knows it very well.
"Well, I bought you a lot of things, so I also spent your mother's share of the royalties. When I go to your house later, you have to help me cover for me and don't make Teacher Ke unhappy."
"Absolutely not," Wen Leyu pouted her chin and vowed, "My mother's royalties have been entrusted to me, and I promise not to ask about our small treasury anymore."
Wen Leyu was confident enough. She had reasoned with her mother last time. Based on the understanding between mother and daughter, Teacher Ke would never ask about "her and Li Ye's" money again.
Li Ye carried two large boxes out of the main house. Wang Qiangdong immediately came out from the side room, helped Li Ye put the boxes into the car, and then prepared to drive Li Ye out.
But Li Ye said, "I can drive there by myself. Let Qiangzi take you around today to try some Beijing snacks and see the Beijing Lantern Festival."
Wang Qiangdong was stunned for a moment and was about to say something, but was stopped by Wang Jianqiang with a look.
After Li Ye drove away, Wang Jianqiang said to Wang Qiangdong: "Next time you meet this girl, don't get close to her. Do you know what a light bulb is?"
Wang Qiangdong said gloomily: "But when I came here, Uncle Li told me to follow Li Ye and protect his safety."
"Hi~"
Wang Jianqiang patted Wang Qiangdong on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about this! With Li Ye's ability, ordinary people are no match for him. And if anyone is blind enough to provoke that girl, it will be a disaster!"
. . . . . .
Because today is Sunday, Teacher Ke and the Wen father and son are all at home. When Li Ye walked in, Teacher Ke had almost finished cooking.
Li Ye put down his things and went to the kitchen to help, which made Teacher Ke very satisfied.
With a son-in-law like this who can make money, cook, and be caring, how can Wen Leyu ever be wronged in the future?
When the meal was served, Wen Leyu took out several bottles of brandy for Wen Qingsheng from Li Ye's suitcase. Wen Qingsheng said, "Too polite and too wasteful," while asking his son to fill Li Ye's glasses.
Li Ye took away so much New Year's goods from other people before the New Year. How could he only remember Wen Leyu and her daughter after the New Year and forget the two men?
It’s just that the box was “too small” to hold anything. Two bottles of foreign liquor and two pairs of high-end leather shoes were all that Li Ye gave to Wen Qingsheng and Wen Guohua.
At the beginning, Wen Leyu stole a pair of imported leather shoes from Wen Qingsheng and gave them to Li Ye. Even though the other person's father didn't tell him, he must have known it in his heart.
The atmosphere at the table was very good. Teacher Ke served Li Ye a bowl of soup and asked with a smile, "How was your trip to Hong Kong Island? Were you dazzled by the prosperity there?"
Li Ye shook his head and said, "It is definitely more prosperous than our place, but not everyone lives a wealthy life, and there is no gold everywhere to be picked up."
"Many people are also worried about what to eat tomorrow, and class oppression is much more serious than here. It is even more difficult for ordinary people to rise than here."
Teacher Ke was very surprised. She just asked casually, but she didn't expect Li Ye to answer so seriously.
In fact, the mainland has its own influence in Hong Kong Island. Ordinary people do not know the real situation in Hong Kong Island, but the higher-ups definitely know it, and Mr. Ke also has some understanding of it.
So she asked again: "How do you know this? Did your friend at the publishing house tell you?"
"I guess so!" Li Ye said, "In addition to the people from the publishing house, I also talked to two fellow writers, and they reacted strongly to this issue.
But there are a lot of people there who have misunderstandings about us, and I found that their teaching materials have some minor problems.”
"Is there a problem with the textbook? What is it?"
Teacher Ke didn't care much at first. After all, the situations Li Ye mentioned were not within her scope of responsibility. However, she was in the education system and was very sensitive to teaching materials.
"I can't really explain it. I bought a few and put them in my suitcase. If you have time, you can read them. Anyway, I just don't feel comfortable reading them."
"Okay, I'll take a look later."
Teacher Ke looked at Li Ye and became more and more satisfied.
Just now, she saw Li Ye carrying two large boxes and thought he was busy shopping in Hong Kong Island these days! Unexpectedly, he was doing some serious business.
Inspections and exchanges these days are basically a combination of official business and shopping. Li Ye's performance is more reliable than many people in formal exchanges. If the age factor is taken into consideration, it cannot be simply described as "excellent".
"Oh, let's not talk about business at the table," Wen Qingsheng raised his glass and said to Li Ye, "I have to thank you, Li Ye. Xiaoyu has been training well these days and is in better shape. Hey, I told you before that if your teacher Ke doesn't listen, we should have a couple of drinks."
"ah?"
Li Ye was a little embarrassed because Wen Leyu once said that she wanted to learn stabbing from Wen Qingsheng, but was stopped by Teacher Ke.
As a result, Li Ye has now led him astray. Will Teacher Ke be unhappy?
Li Ye glanced at Teacher Ke quietly and found that she was smiling and seemed to have no reaction.
But when he, Wen Qingsheng and Wen Guohua drank three bottles of wine and saw the two men on the opposite side staggering, he finally realized that something was wrong with Teacher Ke.
At this time in the past, Teacher Ke would raise his glass and walk with Li Ye, "knock down" Li Ye and save Wen Qingsheng's face.
As a result, today Teacher Ke just looked at Wen Qingsheng with a smile and had no intention of helping at all.
Well, we can offend no one but Teacher Ke, uncles and big brothers, please lie down!
"I did it, Uncle Wen, please do as you please."
"Done. Done."
. . . . . . .
Li Ye was "drunk", but Teacher Ke did not allow him to drive after drinking, so he "forced" him to stay in the guest room.
Wen Leyu covered Li Ye with a blanket and quietly left before finding Teacher Ke and saying, "Mom, you're getting more and more powerful. You didn't even need to say a word to scare Li Ye into pretending to be drunk."
"Why, blame me?"
Teacher Ke smiled and said, "Xiao Yu, you actually have a stubborn temper. Practicing stabbing can strengthen your body, but it can also easily lead to violence. Li Ye's shooting down a dozen people with one shot may seem impressive, but it is actually very dangerous."
"Mom, why are you the same as Li Ye? He always complains to me that we should practice every three days to strengthen our body and not be aggressive."
"Li Ye is right! If you don't want to listen to me, you won't listen to him either?"
"Why should I listen to him?" Wen Leyu twisted her mouth, then took Teacher Ke's arm and said, "I still prefer to listen to my mother."
While chatting, the mother and daughter opened the suitcase that Li Ye brought and took out the clothes to try on.
Teacher Ke was very satisfied when she put on the low-key brand-name coat that Li Ye bought specially for her.
This was bought by Fan Xiuling at Li Ye's request after she took him to several shopping malls in Hong Kong Island.
It feels great, but the style and color are not ostentatious. It looks conservative, but it is simple and tangible, which suits her status very well.
However, Teacher Ke also likes several of Wen Leyu’s windbreakers and overcoats very much. She just can’t wear too fancy clothes because of her work, but which woman doesn’t love beauty?
Wen Leyu smiled mischievously and said, "Li Ye accidentally bought too much and used all your royalties on me. Mom, you pick one from here, pick one."
Teacher Ke looked at her daughter with a half-smile and teased her, "Oh, what should I do? Xiaoyu, are you really willing to do that?"
Wen Leyu said generously: "Of course I'm willing to do that. Mom, you can pick whatever you want. I promise I won't cheat you."
Teacher Ke picked up one and put it on with a smile.
As a result, the buttons could not be buttoned.
Change it to another one, the sleeves are too long.
Teacher Ke slowly turned his head and looked at Wen Leyu.
Wen Leyu laughed, like a cunning little fox.
"Mom, I'm not being stingy. Li Ye bought a small size and you can't wear it. You can't blame me for being stingy!"
“Ouch~”
Teacher Ke snorted and slapped Wen Leyu on the head, shattering all the pride of the little girl.
