Chapter 51 050. "You are very good, I like you very much"
In short.
Lei Li is a very good person.
He shouldn't be pointed at like this, nor should he be despised and feared. He deserves good things and a good life.
"Thunder Li."
"Um?"
Lei Li turned around when he heard the voice.
Under the night.
A crescent silver moon hung in the deep blue sky, dotted with stars, and under the moonlight, golden fireflies were everywhere, making his skin look whiter and his eyes brighter.
He raised his eyes casually.
Inexplicable.
Zhou Yi paused for a moment before speaking, as if to the beat of his heart, "Lei Li, no matter what others say, I think you are very good, and I like you very much."
“…”
Lei Li seemed stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a hint of surprise and playfulness.
"Like me?"
"right."
Zhou Yi looked serious.
Lei Li laughed frivolously and waved at him like calling a puppy.
"come over."
"Woof woof."
The chubby little white dog ran over and pulled at Lei Li's trouser legs to act coquettishly. He didn't get angry when Lei Li pushed him away with his toes, but continued to pull at them enthusiastically.
The puppy's other owner is calm and reserved.
Zhou Yi walked up.
As soon as he stood in front of Lei Li, his collar suddenly tightened. Lei Li suddenly grabbed his collar with both hands and pulled it down hard, hitting something warm and soft.
A sudden and brutal kiss.
When the tongue came in, Zhou Yi realized it belatedly and his ears turned red. He curled up the fingers that were about to push it away and instead held Lei Li's shoulders.
The short, playful kiss turned into a long one.
Unspeakable heat.
Zhou Yi suddenly remembered that when he was in the army, his teammates and their partners who came back from vacation would always be reluctant to leave at the army gate, and the two would kiss while talking.
We kissed for a long time.
A long time.
We haven't been apart for a long time.
——It was the same kiss he was giving Lei Li right now.
sticky.
damp.
Like the return of the south wind.
The strange restlessness permeated my whole body like air with a humidity of nearly 100%.
suddenly--
Like a fish dying of thirst finally getting water, Zhou Yi finally broke away from the passionate kiss, breathing deeply, and his heavy breath hit Lei Li's neck.
He heard Lei Li chuckle again.
"You said you liked me, but why did you blush so much just after a kiss? What should I do if you really want to consummate our marriage? I can't just do it on my own, right?"
“…”
Zhou Yi's ears are hot and his heart is shy.
After a pause, he said, "I'm not talking about this kind of love, but the kind of love from family and friends. You are a very good person, so I like you, appreciate you, and will always support you."
"Besides, I'm not that shy. I wouldn't..." I can't do that kind of thing.
"Family or friends?"
Lei Li raised an eyebrow. "Would you kiss your father? Would you kiss your brother?"
"……Won't."
"That's it."
Lei Li smiled and pinched his face, then ruthlessly rejected him, "If you really like me, I'm happy. If you just want to make me happy and spend money on you, don't even think about it."
"You are my husband, the head of the family. You should earn money for the family. You are just an unpaid laborer in our house. You should understand this, right, husband?"
"……know."
Zhou Yi's mouth was pinched like a chicken. He paused and added, "I really think you're a good person. I didn't mean to trick you into giving me money..."
"Then I'll give you money, do you want it?"
"……want."
—
Only ten cents was given.
Because Lei Li enjoyed the kiss so much, he gave some money to Zhou Yi as a token of appreciation and encouraged him to say something nice to make him happy next time.
Zhou Yi held the ten copper coins in his pocket. He had never been so rich since he traveled through time. He thought about his mood silently, not knowing whether he should be happy or sad.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when the stalls in the county town were closed.
It takes an hour to return from the county town. The driver had something to do and returned to the village a little late. Otherwise, Lei Li and Zhou Yi would not have been able to get a car back.
Hurry up or hurry up.
It was already dark when they returned home. Lei Dashan and Liu Ye'er had both gone to bed. They heard the sound of the door opening and realized that it was their brother and son-in-law who had returned. They then busied themselves with one lighting the fire and the other cooking.
I fried some wild onions and bacon and made some cauliflower and egg soup.
Lei Li and Zhou Yi had a simple dinner. After two hours of travel, they were hungry and thirsty, so they each ate a big bowl of sweet potato rice.
Lei Dashan and Liu Ye'er were also sitting at the table. One of them was anxiously adding more food to their plates, while the other asked, "Why are you back so late? You came so far... Is there something important going on at the store?"
"It's okay."
Lei Li shook his head, took out the box and cloth bag containing the money, and deliberately did not open them to show his parents, keeping them in suspense with some pride.
"Business is good today. Dad and Mom, guess how much money we made in a day?"
"this……"
Lei Dashan and Liu Ye'er looked at the cloth bag, which was bulging with copper coins. There should be some in the money box as well, so they looked at each other.
Liu Ye'er boldly guessed a number, "Three, three taels?"
"Isn't three taels too much...?"
Lei Dashan had never seen so many copper coins before. He thought that one hundred yuan of copper coins was a lot. He hesitated and said, "Is it two taels of silver? Two taels or more..."
"It's five taels and three hundred and seventy-two coins."
As Lei Li spoke, he opened the money box and cloth bag, took out ten strings of coins, three hundred coins strung together, and a few dozen coins in change, which fell on the table with a pleasant sound.
"Ten taels of silver."
"The five taels of silver are all here."
Lei Dashan and Liu Ye'er were both a little shocked. It took them a while to react. They each took a few strings of numbers, and when they counted them all, it was really five thousand copper coins.
"Five taels..."
Liu Ye'er was so shocked that she covered her mouth, her face flushed with excitement. She remembered something and hurried to close the doors and windows, then she sat back with a little relief.
"It's really five taels of silver."
Lei Dashan also sighed, his eyes and eyebrows unable to hide the joy, "I said our brother Li is capable of great things. He made so much money in his first business, even more than selling medicinal herbs!"
"Zhou Yi is capable. He can earn so much thanks to his brother-in-law's good craftsmanship!"
Lei Dashan patted Zhou Yi's hand. Thinking of Zhou Yi's cooking skills that could control his taste buds, he felt relieved, proud, and even a little greedy.
Lei Li's mother's cooking skills are good, but they are not as good as Zhou Yi's. She has enough energy to eat, work and beat people.
“That’s it!”
Lei Li was not at all modest and snorted, "I'm my father and mother's brother, so I'm definitely more promising than my uncle's family. They might not be living as well as we are in the county town."
As he said that, Lei Li gave most of his earnings to Liu Ye'er for safekeeping, leaving only a little over one or two taels for settling the grocery store bill when he went to the county town to open a store tomorrow, and for emergencies.
Liu Ye'er accepted the heavy money and her eyes suddenly became a little warm. "I really don't know what good fortune your father and I have... Our ancestors must be very lucky to have such a filial son and such a capable son-in-law."
"Yes..."
Lei Dashan nodded in agreement and added, "With so much money earned, the store must be very busy, right? Your mother and I will go to the county town to help out tomorrow."
"The county town is too far away, and the oxcart is too bumpy..."
Tired from the long journey.
Lei Li didn't want his parents to travel so far to the county town.
Not wanting them to be tired is one thing, but the port is a mixed bag, and their fast food restaurant has not yet established a foothold. It might be dangerous if my parents go there.
Moreover, the port was too noisy, with the cries of coolie laborers, the sound of cargo sliding across wooden boards during unloading, and the sound of merchants arguing with laborers over prices when they were settling wages.
Even in the middle of the night it was noisy and disturbed his parents' rest.
The taste is also strong.
The smell of sweat, food and cooking fumes mixed together, and it was not as comfortable and cozy as in the village.
But Lei Dashan and Liu Ye'er were also worried.
"Every time I see you bring money home, you never mention how hard your life is, but Mom and Dad know it's not easy for you two."
Liu Ye'er took Lei Li's hand and said, "We used to deliver medicinal herbs. You're used to it, and you have a reputation outside. Most people don't dare to take advantage of you... Doctor Cao and Mr. Zhu are also good people. Your father and I feel a little relieved."
"Yes."
Lei Dashan also said, "You are now engaged in business dealing with people. Some people may look kind, but they are actually evil. They can cheat you with just one or two words."
"Your mother and I have seen more people than you for more than ten years. We have suffered more losses and know most of them clearly. Don't let others bully you."
"Even if this money is really easy to make, we have to go and see it with our own eyes to feel at ease."
"Okay."
Lei Li held Liu Ye'er's hand, smiled at Lei Dashan and said, "Tomorrow we will go together as a family. You will understand when you see it, Dad and Mom. Although there are many men there, they don't bully people, right, husband?"
"yes."
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Today we opened the shop, and we met a brother named Baldy. He bought a meal worth 17 coins, and later brought more than 20 of his brothers to take care of our business."
"His brothers thought our food was delicious and invited people to eat at our restaurant."
"There are also some uncles who work there regularly. They said we were kind and sent them soup. They said they would introduce us to other people to do the work if we were too busy."
Lei Li smiled and said, "He said he doesn't want to make money from us, but just gives us something to eat every day. His kid works very quickly and efficiently, but he eats a lot, haha..."
"The little brat is eating me out of my house."
Lei Dashan and Liu Ye'er also laughed.
Liu Yeer added, "But if they really come to work, you can't just give them food without paying them. That's not fair, and you can't be soft-hearted and hire a lazy person."
"I know."
Lei Li nodded.
A few people talked for a while, and then Lei Dashan and Liu Ye'er were too sleepy, so they went back to sleep and told Lei Li and Zhou Yi to go to bed early.
Turn off the lights in the main room.
Lei Li and Zhou Yi took a quick bath with hot water, changed into clean clothes, and returned to the house.
It's been a tiring day.
Lei Li no longer had the energy to bother Zhou Yi and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed. However, he still wanted to turn into an octopus and wrap around Zhou Yi.
Like a spider spirit that sucks people's essence every night.
The person being sucked...maybe he's enjoying it a little bit.
