Chapter 16 You can read these books at will. "Why am I being so picky?
There is a study room in the commander's house." Qin Lan was left mumbling and Li Wenting was wiping her tears.
When Li Hongbin went downstairs, Xiaoxi was washing dishes in the kitchen. "Where is Wenhua?" "He went out." "This kid is really playful and doesn't listen to me. Don't wash it, let me do it." Xiaoxi didn't let him, speeding up and cleaning up neatly. Li Hongbin stood aside and sighed helplessly, "Come on, Dad will take you to your room." The study room has good lighting. When you enter the door, you can see a large window facing the sea. The scenery is pleasant. There is also a pot of orchids on the windowsill. There is a desk under the window, and some books and newspapers are placed on the desk. There is also a desk on the right side of the wall, with some elementary school textbooks and junior high school textbooks on it, and a calligraphy painting hanging on the right wall. Xiaoxi looked at the study and felt very cramped. She had never seen anyone use a room as a study. Oh, I heard that Li Haoran's family had one before. I heard that his study had a whole wall of books. Xiaoxi turned her head while thinking about it, and was a little stunned for a moment. It turned out that the wall facing the window of this room was also a bookcase, which was full of books. There were historical and literary books such as Records of the Grand Historian, Dream of the Red Chamber, and Zizhi Tongjian, as well as military, agricultural and other books. There were so many types that people were dazzled. Xiaoxi suddenly saw so many books and felt the blood rushing in her body. Li Hongbin saw Xiaoxi staring at the bookcase with shining eyes, and couldn't help but smile, "Do you like reading?" Xiaoxi suppressed her excitement and nodded quickly. I remember that Chunxiang's family used to have a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was used by her mother to hold shoes, but no one read it. So she borrowed it to read, and read it in the moonlight outside after work or early in the morning. During that time, she was really fascinated. Li Hongbin smiled, "These are all left by your grandparents. If they knew that you like reading, they would be very happy. Finally, there is a grandson who likes reading." Li Wenting and Li Wenhua don't like reading, and these books are usually read by Li Hongbin, and they are covered with dust. "Where are your grandparents?" "They've passed away. I'll take you to sweep their graves later." Li Hongbin sighed and quickly changed the subject, "You can read these books as you like." Xia Xiaoxi had actually guessed from Li Hongbin's words that her grandparents might have passed away. Her grandparents must be amazing to have so many books in their collection. She carefully stepped forward and touched the books. One day, she could actually read so many books as she wanted. Li Hongbin looked at Xia Xiaoxi's serious look, and it was obvious that she loved books very much. He was very pleased. Li Wenhua and Li Wenting didn't like to read his books. He looked around, moved a desk out, and moved a single bed from the small guest room in, saying, "I'll make a closet for you in two days." Xia Xiaoxi, who had been following behind to help clean, shook her head when she heard this, "This is already very good." Li Hongbin smiled and said nothing, and went to the wooden box in the master bedroom to take out new sheets and quilt covers. When he passed by Li Wenting's room with the sheets and quilt covers, he took a look and saw Qin Lan was still in there. He knew that Qin Lan could not be relied on. For the first time, Li Hongbin felt that he was both a father and a mother. Fortunately, Xiaoxi was capable and naturally took over the job of making the bed. After everything was packed, Li Hongbin looked at Xiaoxi and said, "Have a good sleep tonight." When Li Hongbin walked out of the room, he heard a soft voice from behind, "Thank you, Dad." He felt warm and sour in his heart. He paused for a moment , turned back and smiled, "No need to thank Dad. This is what I should do. Go to bed early." Then he closed the door and left. Xia Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the bed carefully, and looked around. She had never had a room all to herself, and it was such a big room. She touched the bed, it was soft and comfortable. And this wall of books, it felt sacred. Too many things happened today, Xiaoxi was a little stunned for a while. While she was in a daze, she heard a knock on the door outside. When she opened it, it was still Li Hongbin. "This is pajamas for you, your mother's old one. Wear it first. I'll make you a new one later." What is pajamas? Xiaoxi didn't react for a moment, but still took it. But from the literal meaning, it should be clothes for sleeping. That night, Xiaoxi was uneasy. With a lot of thoughts, she fell asleep early. Ignoring Li Wenting who was still crying and her mother who didn't pay much attention to her. One of the skills she has developed in the past few years is to seize the time to sleep no matter what happens. Early the next morning, Li Hongbin woke Qin Lan up, "You go make two sets of clothes for Xiaoxi today. Oh, and make a set of pajamas, too. Xiaoxi is a sensitive child. Yesterday, Tingting didn't let Xiaoxi wear her clothes. Xiaoxi turned around and changed into her own clothes. How could she wear her own clothes in such a hot day?" Qin Lan was just about to get angry after getting up, and was stunned by this, thinking of the scene yesterday afternoon, "I wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't said it, and don't blame Tingting, you know that Tingting doesn't like others to wear her clothes, not to mention that she didn't know it at the time." "Then didn't you find her a new set of clothes later, or even bring your own clothes to modify them." Li Hongbin was a little angry when he saw Qin Lan being so partial. "How can I care, Tingting ran away later. You also know what happened later." Qin Lan said a little aggrieved. "Go buy some clothes for Xiaoxi this morning. Xiaoxi has suffered so much for so many years, we can't let her live a miserable life with us." Qin Lan nodded. After thinking for a while, she said, "Xiaoxi is the same. Tingting said that and she took off her clothes immediately. Her temper is a bit strange." Li Hongbin said with a frown, "Tingting said that, and it was that occasion. If it were you, I'm afraid you wouldn't wear it either." Qin Lan stopped talking. Xiaoxi was awakened by the sound of the horn. The moment she woke up, she looked at the bookcase opposite the bed and listened to the horn outside. Suddenly, she didn't know where she was. After a while, she realized that she was in her new home on this island. The sun shone in from the window. She got up and opened the curtains. She saw the sea. The red and round sun was rising from the sea. She was stunned. Xiaoxi's mood improved immediately. She thought her room was great, with a wall of books and a view of the sea. She smiled contentedly, revealing two dimples. She changed her clothes and opened the door. It was quiet outside. After thinking for a while, she walked back to the room and took down the book "Dream of the Red Chamber" from the bookshelf, which she saw at first sight yesterday. She sat at the desk and read it carefully.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Lan came upstairs to call her for breakfast.
She saw Li Wenhua, who was sleepy, sitting at the table, but not Li Wenting. On the
table was a bowl of white bread, fried dough sticks, pumpkin porridge, boiled eggs, and a plate of pickled vegetables.
Xiaoxi was a little dumbfounded. Is it okay to eat such a good breakfast?
Qin Lan noticed Xiaoxi's eyes and frowned. She was so surprised by a breakfast. She was also a little narrow-minded and petty, not as good as Tingting.
