Chapter 124 Home Cooking
Li Mingxia felt a little embarrassed when she saw He Changan panting. "It's nothing serious. I just brought you something to thank you for your hard work these past few days and for taking us around."
He Changan looked at the things Li Mingxia handed over, and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He was unhappy that Li Mingxia was always so polite to him, but he was also happy that Li Mingxia remembered to send him food.
"You are so thoughtful. Will you come to the dock to do business next spring?" He Changan finally took Li Mingxia's things.
After hearing this, Xiao Wu's ears almost pricked up. He wanted to ask just now, but before he could open his mouth, He Changan came in.
"Of course I'll come. I won't bother you anymore after the things are delivered." Li Mingxia still had to buy groceries and didn't plan to stay any longer.
"Can you stay a little longer?" Xiao Wu walked Li Mingxia all the way to the door, saying reluctantly.
He hadn't seen Li Mingxia for a long time, and now he couldn't get enough of looking at her.
Li Mingxia was not good at dealing with such sudden enthusiasm. He shook his head and left like a flash.
"Then why don't you come here? I'll treat you to dinner!" Xiao Wu seemed not to notice Li Mingxia's discomfort. Even after the person had disappeared, he was still talking loudly.
Xiaowen and He Changan stood not far away and looked at Xiaowu who was standing on tiptoe. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little weird.
"Boss, are you interested in Miss Li?" Xiao Wen was silent for a moment and suddenly spoke.
He Changan didn't say anything, but Xiaowen had already made up his mind, "Boss, we two brothers can't compare with you. Xiaowu is stubborn, tell him what you think in your heart, don't let him worry about it."
Xiaowen's brain has always been better than Xiaowu's. He had long seen that Li Mingxia was not someone that people like them could marry, but Xiaowu still couldn't understand this. If he continued to think about it, the only person who would be delayed would be Xiaowu himself.
He Changan nodded and said nothing.
Although Xiao Wen persuaded him to let it go, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw He Changan nod. He forced himself to be cheerful and said with a smile: "When the boss and Miss Li get married, you must treat us brothers to a glass of wedding wine. We are all happy for the boss."
In Xiaowen's opinion, He Changan is completely worthy of Li Mingxia, but what he didn't expect was that He Changan did not give any response to his words.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day after tomorrow. Early in the morning, Li Sanlang, Zhang and several children were waiting at the door.
"When you see people later, you must talk!" Li Sanlang kept reminding the children.
"I understand, Dad. Don't worry. You have said it many times and we remember it." Li Zhengde said.
Not long after, an ox cart slowly drove towards the Li family's direction. Li Mingxia saw the neatly stacked glazed windows on the cart at a glance, and then he noticed the two people sitting on the ox cart, one old and one young, who must be Li Sanlang's beloved second uncle.
Zheng Guihe also stretched his neck to look over here, and seeing a group of people standing at the door, he started muttering to his son Zheng Dazhuang what to call them.
"Dad, don't worry, I remember everything." Zheng Dazhuang waved the whip impatiently. The cow took a few quick steps. Zheng Guihe immediately stopped him: "What are you doing! There are glass windows on this car. What if you break them? This kid, he is so old, but he is still so impulsive!"
The ox cart swayed to the door of the Li family. Li Sanlang had already gone to greet them with his family.
"Second uncle!"
"Second uncle and grandpa!"
"Second uncle, this is my wife, the mother of my child, and this is our second uncle." Li Sanlang hurried forward and held Zheng Guihe's hand.
"Second uncle." Zhang greeted him generously, "Please let second uncle in to thank you. This is my younger brother, right? He is so handsome, just like second uncle!"
Who wouldn't like to hear good words? Zheng Guihe's face immediately broke into a smile, "I brought some food for the kids, you guys are not allowed to push it away, this is for the kids, it has nothing to do with you!"
"Dad, you guys go into the house first. I'll move the windows and other things to the yard." Zheng Dazhuang said.
"Zhengde, you and your uncle Dazhuang move together. Second uncle, let's go inside and talk!" Li Sanlang had been holding Zheng Guihe's hand, looking particularly intimate.
After greeting everyone, Li Mingxia went to prepare the meal. Since it was his first time here and he didn't know what everyone liked to eat, Li Mingxia prepared the meal according to the standards for guests coming to the village.
A chicken stewed with vermicelli, a pork belly stewed with cabbage, fried peanuts, a braised pork, the indispensable bowl of stewed eggs, a stewed fish, a cold dish, a plate of fried vegetables, and white rice as the staple food. Thinking that both the chicken stewed with vermicelli and the pork belly stewed with cabbage would have soup, she also baked a pot of pancakes. Originally, Zhang wanted to make sugar pancakes, but Li Mingxia finally made beef pie.
"They are all salty dishes, and they won't taste good when made into sugar cakes," said Li Mingxia.
"Sanlang, my second uncle said that you are so lucky. Your wife's cooking skills are really amazing!" Zheng Guihe said after tasting every dish, "Your second uncle has eaten good food before. He has eaten at many restaurants in the town and the capital, but none of them can compare to your wife!"
Li Sanlang stood up and poured Zheng Guihe a glass of wine. "Uncle, this is not made by my wife. This is all cooked by my eldest daughter. Don't look at my eldest daughter who hasn't married yet. She is really capable. There is nothing she can't do at home or outside. Let me be honest with you, uncle. Now our family is run by my eldest daughter!"
Li Sanlang would not hide anything from his elders, especially those he trusted and had a good impression of. Besides, it was not a shameful thing and he would be proud to tell others that his daughter could do this.
"Is her name Mingxia? Come here quickly and let your uncle take a look!" Zheng Guihe was startled and his eyes fell on Li Mingxia. "She is so capable and pretty. Sanlang, has your daughter been promised to someone?"
Li Mingxia's heart started to ring with alarm bells as soon as this topic was mentioned. She didn't want to worry about these things.
"Not yet. Sister Xia is still young, and our son hasn't found a wife yet. There's no need to rush." Li Sanlang poured a glass of wine for Zheng Dazhuang while speaking.
"Second uncle, brothers, please try this wine. Mingxia brought it back from the capital."
"Hey! Good, this wine smells good, and it has to be for a girl, who will always be thinking about her parents wherever she goes."
