Chapter 287: Going to see Li Zhengxue
Now, Li Mingxia has trained several children of the Li family to not like to eat without chili peppers. This saves Li Mingxia from having to deal with disagreements in tastes, so it won't be hard for him to cook anything in the future.
Looking at the cold noodles in front of him, Li Zhengde felt that his appetite was recovering rapidly. He took a bite and it was cool, refreshing, numb, spicy and fragrant. He felt that the boredom and nausea that had been there for the whole day were swept away at this moment.
"Sister, I want to eat this!" Li Mingdong sat next to Li Mingxia. Her arms were too short to reach the century egg and tofu that was the farthest from her, but she couldn't help but say it when she saw Li Mingxia eating it mouthful by mouthful with relish.
Li Mingxia originally thought that Li Mingdong liked to eat pig heart the most, so she put the plate of cold-mixed pig heart in front of her. However, she didn't expect that this little rascal would take a fancy to century egg and tofu today.
Except for Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong, everyone at the table could take any dish they wanted. Besides, they were all family members, so Li Mingxia didn't think too much about it. When she heard that Li Mingdong wanted to eat, she directly took the preserved egg and tofu and placed it in front of Li Mingdong.
"There's a bit too much chili in this dish. If you find it spicy, eat less."
Li Mingxia looked at Li Mingdong who was eating the preserved egg and tofu in big mouthfuls and quickly reminded him.
Because this dish is his favorite, Li Mingxia put a little too much chili in it. He was still a little worried that the two little kids would have stomachaches if they ate too much.
Li Mingdong nodded and continued to eat the preserved egg and tofu in big mouthfuls. From time to time, he would pick up the bowl of cold noodles and take a sip of the soup.
Seeing that she really wasn't feeling unwell, Li Mingxia ignored her and picked up two pieces of beef and started eating.
"I heard that Xue Ge'er was injured?" Zhang ate a piece of pig's ear with chopsticks, chewing it with a crunching sound while speaking.
Li Mingxia and Li Zhengde looked at each other and were a little stunned.
What happened? Neither of them said anything, how did Zhang know? It seems that Li Sanlang did not go to the old house today? Besides, even if he went, the old house probably would not know about this if Li Zhengxue did not come back, right?
Zhang was a little confused when she saw her daughter and son looking at her, and thought she had said something wrong.
"What's the matter? Can't I tell you this?" Zhang couldn't even chew the pig ear in her mouth anymore.
Li Mingxia said quickly, "No, no, I was just thinking about you, Mom. You didn't go to the old house today, so how did you know? Isn't Brother Zhengxue studying in the academy?"
Zhang heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this and continued to chew the pig's ears.
"I didn't go to the old house. Yan Zi's mother told me when we were chatting in the workshop." Zhang said.
"And Xue Ge came back today, just when you were cooking. I heard that it was your teacher who sent him back. Didn't you know?" The last sentence Zhang asked was directed at Li Zhengde.
This I really don't know. At that time, Li Mingxia was cooking and Li Zhengde was studying in the room, so of course they didn't know. But I didn't expect that the teacher would come in person?
"I used to think that Xue Ge'er... This time I finally see that Xue Ge is indeed knowledgeable. The teacher even came in person. I have never heard of such a thing." Zhang couldn't help but sigh, but there was no bitterness in her tone, but rather a hint of anticipation.
But soon, Zhang became afraid that her words might cause some influence or pressure on Li Zhengde, so she quickly tried to make up for it.
"Son, you don't have to have any other thoughts. This is only our first year, and you have been studying with your brother for many years. It is reasonable for the teacher to value him. You don't have to think too much, understand?"
Zhang was not very good at speaking, and now she was worried that Li Zhengde would feel uncomfortable because she had just praised Li Zhengxue, so she was a little anxious.
Li Zhengde was wondering why the teacher came. Did Li Zhengxue do something extreme after they left? Otherwise, according to Teacher Cao's personality, it would be absolutely impossible for him to personally send a student back.
Because this matter was so "interesting", Li Zhengde was lost in thought. When Zhang called him, he quickly smiled.
"Mom, I don't have any ideas. I just work hard on my own and don't compare myself with others."
Zhang nodded quickly, "Yes, that's how we are. We just need to compare ourselves with ourselves, not others. Good son, eat more meat."
Li Mingxia almost laughed out loud when he heard Li Zhengde's words.
It is true that there is no comparison. Even if you want to compare, you definitely cannot compare with Li Zhengxue. Otherwise, it is not about who has better knowledge, but who is more cunning and who is shameless!
"Dad asked us to go and take a look." Li Sanlang said in a muffled voice.
The room suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Li Sanlang.
"I didn't go to the old house. Dad sent my second brother to tell him that Xue Ge'er was seriously injured this time and asked us to go check on him no matter what. After all, we are all family. If Xue Ge didn't go back to the village to recuperate, it would be fine. But now that we are back, it would not be good if we don't check on him in case people outside see him."
Everyone knew that these words must have been said by Mr. Li without Li Sanlang's explanation, which was in line with Mr. Li's usual tactic of playing the emotional card.
To put it bluntly, it is moral kidnapping.
Li Mingxia did not speak immediately. She wanted to hear Li Sanlang's attitude and also wanted to know whether this honest man had learned his lesson after so many lessons.
"Then what did you say, the child's father?" Zhang asked.
Li Sanlang shook his head. "I didn't say much. I just said I would come back to tell you about this matter. I also said that we have split up and there are some things that I can't get involved in. Second brother didn't say anything either and left."
Li Erlang passed these words to Mr. Li's ears intact, and Li Mingxia was very happy.
When Li Sanlang said this, he was expressing his attitude and dissatisfaction with Mr. Li and the Li family's old house.
It really doesn’t matter whether it works or not. What Li Mingxia wants is for him to get the words out. Nothing else matters.
"The child's father..."
The person who was most excited should be Zhang. No matter how many times, as long as Li Sanlang showed the slightest intention of supporting them, Zhang would be moved to tears.
"You guys decide whether to go or not. I have no opinion. My brain isn't very good, so I'll just listen to you." Li Sanlang looked at Zhang and said this quickly before lowering his head and eating cold noodles in big mouthfuls.
"The beef here is really delicious." Li Sanlang said vaguely.
As soon as he finished speaking, several pieces of braised beef in soy sauce appeared in his bowl.
"Dad, you should eat more. Let your daughter make you more beef tomorrow. Didn't our family buy a lot? Make some persimmon beef, and you and Zhengpin can have some wine or something." Zhang said with a smile.
