Chapter 107: Jealousy is not acceptable
Early in the morning, Li Lulu stretched lazily, then lay in the warm bed for a while, until about nine o'clock when she slowly got up.
She pushed open the door, looked outside, and couldn't help frowning: Today is a cloudy day, and the gloomy sky seems to be suffocated by a thick layer of dark clouds.
There was a slight chill in the air, which made people feel inexplicably depressed.
Only a few faint rays of sunlight struggled to penetrate the heavy clouds and fell on the ground, forming patches of mottled, soft light and shadows.
Under such a cloudy day, the flowers, plants and trees have lost their former vitality and vigor, and appear somewhat listless and listless.
A few withered yellow leaves trembled in the breeze, making rustling sounds from time to time, as if telling their loneliness and helplessness.
Li Lulu wrapped herself tightly in a thick coat and walked briskly towards the kitchen, wanting to see what kind of delicious dishes her mother Yue Xiangmei was preparing.
Before she reached the kitchen door, she ran into Yue Xiangmei, her father Li Qingping, and her second brother Li Xiaoguang, who always liked to play tricks on people, who were all about to go out.
"Hey! Sister, you just got up now? You can't even drink some hot soup!" Li Xiaoguang said to his sister with a smirk on his face, obviously trying to tease her on purpose.
Yue Xiangmei turned around abruptly, raised her hand quickly, and then slapped the person behind her hard - a loud and crisp slap!
"Can you keep your mouth shut? Will you die if you say less?" Her eyes were wide open as she stared at the man who was dazed from the beating.
Li Lulu stuck out her tongue mischievously, with a smug smile on her face: "Hehehe! That's right!"
Seeing this, Li Xiaoguang felt extremely helpless and could only hold his head, looking sad and worried.
At this time, Li Qingping, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Lulu, have you been feeling better these days?"
Now that winter has arrived, it is really worrying to see Mr. Li staying alone at home.
"A lot!" Li Lulu smiled slightly, thinking to herself that although Daddy always looks cold and serious, he is actually kind-hearted and cares a lot about his family.
"Lulu, today I was just planning to go shopping and bring some gifts to your grandfather and great-grandfather, and also bring some new and interesting things back to your elder brother and sister-in-law." Yue Xiangmei said a lot in one breath. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there were so many things she needed to buy that she was afraid that even the carriage could not fit them all.
"Mom, don't worry. Just buy as many as you want. When the time comes, just send them to Tianji Commercial Bank and ask them to help send them back. Just give them the money. They are going to our town anyway."
Li Lulu saw Yue Xiangmei's sadness. Women all like to shop, there is no doubt about that.
"Well, Lulu is still smart!" Yue Xiangmei's originally sad face bloomed like a spring flower, and she instantly revealed a bright smile.
Li Qingping carefully took out two large meat buns from his arms and handed them to his daughter: "Lulu, take them and eat them. Dad bought them this morning. I've been holding them in my arms, so they're still warm."
Li Lulu took the big meat bun and was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. This father is so kind! A warm feeling surged in her heart.
She narrowed her eyes and smiled as gently as the warm spring sun: "Thank you, Dad." She took a bite and found that the hot buns were stuffed with preserved vegetables and pork. "Delicious, delicious, everything Dad bought is delicious!"
"Everything dad buys is delicious!" Li Xiaoguang imitated his sister's words sourly, with a sarcastic tone and a face full of jealousy.
Yue Xiangmei and Li Qingping turned around at the same time and glared at Li Xiaoguang fiercely.
Li Xiaoguang suddenly felt something was wrong and turned around to escape, but it was too late.
Li Qingping grabbed Li Xiaoguang by the scruff of the neck like an eagle catching a chick, and the couple gave their son a "love education".
Li Lulu sat leisurely on the steps, chewing a meat bun with relish, shaking her head and sighing from time to time: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk! Such jealousy is really unacceptable!"
On the other hand, Li Xiaoguang, who was beaten black and blue and in a terrible state, was ruthlessly thrown away by his parents like garbage.
They left with their sister without looking back, completely ignoring their poor son and leaving him alone in the wind.
At this moment, Li Qinze, who was sitting aside and watching the fun, was leisurely pouring himself a cup of hot tea, then squinting his eyes and savoring it slowly, enjoying this moment of peace very comfortably.
"Well~ it's great to be young!" He sighed with great contentment, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face that was full of envy.
Li Xiaoguang, with a face full of grievance, limped to Li Qinze, reached out to pick up the teapot, first touched the body of the teapot with his hand, and when he felt the water temperature was just right, he lifted the teapot without hesitation and poured it into his mouth in big gulps.
He didn't put down the teapot until his belly was full of drink.
Then, he puffed out his big belly proudly, turned around and walked away with a swagger, leaving Li Qinze, who was confused and stunned.
Li Qingping and his wife brought their daughter to the street and looked at the people on the street. The weather was turning cooler today, and pedestrians on the streets and alleys put on thick clothes to resist the growing cold.
They walked in a hurry, as if they didn't want to stay a moment longer in this gloomy morning.
"Dad, Mom, when will we go home?" Li Lulu asked as she walked, her big watery eyes glancing at the roadside stalls from time to time.
"If Lulu is not in any serious condition, go back earlier! After all, your grandfather is alone at home, and I'm really worried." Li Qingping frowned. In fact, what he was thinking in his heart was that the sooner he went back, the better.
"Yeah, I miss home too." Li Lulu nodded slightly, agreeing with her father's idea.
"Lulu! You haven't been at home for the past two days. Your father and I have thought about it again and again. Now that you are basically recovered, it is better for us to go home and recuperate. It is inappropriate to always bother Prince Jin like this." Yue Xiangmei really didn't want to disturb him all the time. Besides, the other party had an extraordinary status. If she was not careful to annoy him, she would get into trouble.
"Why don't we go home tomorrow?" Li Lulu asked cautiously. In fact, she also thought it was inappropriate to keep doing this, always causing trouble for others, and they didn't ask for anything in return.
"Well, if we go back earlier, we can get home earlier, and then we can make careful preparations, and the New Year will be almost here." Yue Xiangmei agreed deeply and nodded frequently.
"Then let's buy more dishes today and cook a sumptuous meal to thank everyone."
We have really caused a lot of trouble to everyone these days, and we should indeed host a banquet to express our gratitude.
"Okay, then let's go shopping now! We have almost purchased all the things we need." Yue Xiangmei nodded in response, her tone gentle.
The family of three bought a lot of food and returned home contentedly, carrying packages of various sizes.
On the way home, she happened to see Xiao Jinnian and Wei Lingheng sitting in the courtyard chatting and laughing leisurely, so she walked towards them leisurely.
"I want to hold a banquet tonight and invite everyone to come. Wei Lingheng, please tell Grandfather, Aunt Xue and Uncle about this. I have to go to the kitchen to help with the meal later, so I'm afraid it will be inconvenient." Li Lulu briefly stated her plan. She should have gone in person to invite everyone, but once she was busy with the chores in the kitchen, she would have no time to spare, so she decided to cook the delicious dishes herself.
"Okay." Wei Lingheng responded straightforwardly.
"Brother Jinnian, do you have any other matters to take care of today?" Li Lulu asked cautiously.
"No, I will definitely attend the banquet on time and taste the delicious food prepared by Lulu." Xiao Jinnian responded gently.
Seeing that everything had been arranged, Yue Xiangmei went to pass on the message to Doctor Li, and now they could go straight to the kitchen to start preparing things.
Li Lulu wanted to cook all her specialties this time. Since she had eaten two delicious pork buns with preserved vegetables in the morning, she decided to make a dish of braised pork with preserved vegetables.
Li Lulu soaked the pickled mustard greens for an hour, washed them carefully, squeezed out the water, and set them aside.
