Chapter 175
175 I’ll Treat You to a Drink
Li Xiaoran looked at Old Madam Jin’s encouraging gaze and walked over. Then, she shouted at the field.
“Ah! Ah! Ah! I, Li Xiaoran, am the best!”
As expected, after she shouted, the frustration in her heart dissipated a lot.
“Hahahaha! You really look a little like me when I was a girl! That’s right. The current you is the real you! Remember, you have to bring me the smelly food you owe me!” Old Madam Jin reminded happily.
“Don’t worry, I’ll find the ingredients to prepare it for you when I get back! However, there’s something that needs to ferment before it can be made into the smelly food I mentioned. Therefore, I’ll have to trouble you to wait until after the new year! I guarantee that I’ll definitely make this food to show my filial piety to you!” Li Xiaoran agreed with a smile.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you! Coincidentally, my house will be built this month. I’ll invite you to my house!” Old Madam Jin said with a smile.
“Alright! I’ll definitely bring good food to your house!” Li Xiaoran promised.
“Alright, we have a deal!” Old Madam Jin agreed readily.
After leaving Old Madam Jin’s place, Li Xiaoran’s mood had returned to normal.
At this moment, she had already figured it out. All the negative emotions that had entered her heart had disappeared.
It was a fact that she had married in someone else’s place. Luo Cheng had helped her and her family.
Now, she was angry at Luo Cheng because they had developed feelings for each other. This wasn’t right.
Life was about self-awareness, so it was good not to care about those superficial things.
As for the rest, she would leave it to time!
She would slowly make herself stronger and not be affected by those superficial things!
She had to live a good life! Li Xiaoran was also confident that she would definitely live a better life!
After returning to the shop, Li Xiaoran became energetic.
Seeing that her daughter was energetic, Zhao Xiu was relieved.
“Father, can we still dig out bamboo shoots now?” Li Xiaoran asked as soon as she finished cooking the knife-cut noodles ordered by the last customer.
Li Shun thought for a moment and said, “We can dig for winter bamboo shoots now! There should be a lot of bamboo shoots where I went to cut bamboo previously! Why, do you want to eat them?”
“Yes, I want to use bamboo shoots to cook. After we close the shop later, let’s dig bamboo shoots!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said.
“You two can go and dig! I won’t go. I have to dig out some of the radishes we planted and cut them into radishes to dry!” Zhao Xiu said when she heard their conversation.
Li Xiaoqing thought of something and said, “Mother, keep the radish ta.s.sels. We can also make pickled vegetables when the time comes!”
“You gluttonous cat, you only know how to eat. Help me make it later!” Zhao Xiu teased.
“No problem, I’ll help you when we get back!” Li Xiaoqing agreed readily.
Actually, Li Xiaoqing had wanted to learn how to do this since a long time ago, but at that time, the Li family had already fed the radishes to the chickens.
Zhao Xiu did all the work alone, so over time, Zhao Xiu was unwilling to be nosy, so she didn’t make pickled vegetables with radishes anymore.
Li Xiaoqing had no chance to learn it.
Now that she had a chance to learn, Li Xiaoqing naturally wouldn’t let it go.
“I wonder who you took after. You don’t like anything else but making pickled vegetables and cooking!” Zhao Xiu sighed.
“Of course. I’m willing to cook anything I like!” Li Xiaoqing didn’t hide her thoughts.
When Li Xiaoran heard her sister’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh.
To be honest, she really liked her sister’s frank personality. She was righteous and clear-cut about love and hate.
Of course, she also hoped that her sister could continue to maintain such a personality in the future.
She wondered which brat would benefit from her good sister in the future!
At this moment, Li Xiaoran suddenly understood how her parents felt when they married off their daughter.
At this moment, as the eldest sister, she felt bitter at the thought of her sister marrying into another family.
No wonder her father, Li Shun, looked upset after her parents misunderstood her relationship with Luo Cheng.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran looked at her busy father.
Fortunately, she had married Luo Cheng. Although there were no rituals, she had married him, accompanied by her parents and sister.
Luo Cheng was also very considerate to her.
Speaking of which, this marriage was really a good one!
Luo Cheng drove the ox cart to town alone.
Coincidentally, there were not many things to do at the office today. As soon as Luo Han walked out of the office, he saw Luo Cheng sitting on the ox cart.
“Hey, to be honest, I never thought you would sit in such an ox cart! Now that I look at you carefully, you seem to be able to ride any kind of cart very well!” Luo Han teased.
“Cut the c.r.a.p. Get in the car. I’ll buy you a drink!” Luo Cheng said to Luo Han.
Luo Han was immediately interested when he heard that he wanted to drink.
“Just because you invited me to drink, I’m definitely going to sit on your ox cart!”
With that, Luo Han leaped to Luo Cheng’s side.
Soon, the ox cart started running and brought Luo Han to Luo Cheng’s house in town.
Luo Han looked at the house that he hadn’t been to in a while. It had changed. He said with a smile, “This house finally feels a little livelier!”
“If there’s someone living there, of course it’ll be livelier!” With that, Luo Cheng walked straight to his study.
Not long after, a servant brought over a jar of wine that had been unloaded from the ox cart.
In addition, Luo Cheng also asked the woman from the kitchen to cook two side dishes.
After Luo Cheng filled the gla.s.s, he downed the wine without taking a bite of the food.
“There’s something wrong with the way you’re drinking! What happened?” Luo Han asked with concern.
“There’s something I haven’t figured out! If you like a woman but can’t marry her openly and can only give her a marriage contract, will she mind?” Luo Cheng asked.
When Luo Han heard Luo Cheng’s words, he recalled Luo Cheng’s marriage and said seriously.
“If you’re talking about you and Li Xiaoran, in that case, you’ll be letting her down. You don’t care about this, but that’s not the case for Li Xiaoran’s family! Think about it, Li Xiaoran was married off by the Li family and even brought her parents and sister over. This is enough to make others gossip!”
