MTL - Accidentally born in the ’60s-Chapter 86
Zhen Zhen came back from the vegetable market and handed over the live chickens and ducks she bought to Mingxi and Mingbei and asked them to take care of them. As for the pigeons that Xi Junjie sent, Zhen Zhen thought that she might not be able to eat them today, so she opened the cage and put it in the main courtyard, and gave Lantern a handful of millet to feed the pigeons to play with. With Zhen Zhen's supernatural control, she is not afraid that the pigeons will fly out of the courtyard.
Zhen Zhen went out for a run early in the morning and bought live poultry, she always felt that her body was not very good, and seeing her little nephew having a good time, Zhen Zhen went back to the west wing and closed the window tightly She locked the door and entered the space, released a basin full of hot spring water, Zhen Zhen walked in and lay down in the bathtub to take a bath.
Closed her eyes and rested in the bathtub for ten minutes, then Zhen Zhen opened her eyes and took the shampoo from the store bought from overseas Chinese, rubbed her long hair, and washed her body with body soap. After smearing it all over, the shower was turned on, and the hot spring water sprayed out from it, rinsing the body clean.
After taking a bath, Zhen Zhen was not in a hurry to go out. She wrapped the bath towel and controlled the temperature of the space to about 30 degrees. hair was blown dry.
The weather in mid-October was already a bit cold, Zhen Zhen found a loose-fit sweater with a one-neck knitted by herself and put it on her body, and put on a pair of jeans. Because of a certain TV series at this time, denim bell-bottoms have become the fashion that young people are chasing, but Zhen Zhen doesn't like bell-bottoms very much, so she went to a few places to buy thinner ordinary jeans, and went to The person looking for the clothing store closed the trousers. After wearing it, not only did the legs look thin and long, but they were also very neat. That was a good-looking one.
Zhen Zhen swept her yard with her consciousness and saw that Mingxi and Mingbei had not shed the ducks, so she was not in a hurry to go out, she combed a princess hair in front of the mirror , with some curved bangs, it looks sweet and cute.
Just as she opened the door, Zhen Zhen heard someone knocking on the door: "Lao Li, here we are."
As soon as Zhen Zhen was stunned, she saw Li Muwu come out of the room, shouting loudly: "Come here." She went to invite someone in.
Zhen Zhen swept to the door with her consciousness, and saw a couple of excellent temperament and appearance standing at the door, and Xi Junjie stood behind them, looking shocked and collapsed .
Li Muwu invited people in, Xi Junjie was happy that he had the habit of taking a bath after running, but the clothes he wore were a little too casual. Immediately, I felt a little regretful, if I knew that when I came to Zhen Zhen's house as a guest, I should have come here in that tailored white suit, but who would have thought that my own father would have slapped me silently, directly destroying all my plans.
The original idea of Xi Junjie was to go to work after graduation, wearing a hand-made suit, shiny leather shoes, and bringing carefully prepared gifts to visit Zhen Zhen's house, but now he is wearing a hand-made suit and shiny leather shoes. Some fluffy hair, wearing casual clothes, behind his parents, is completely different from what he expected.
Xi Junjie felt like crying when he saw Zhen Zhen coming out of the inner courtyard and smiled at him.
Ling Xiulan and Li Muwu were greeting each other, when she suddenly saw the slim girl standing in front of the hanging flower gate, she suddenly felt bright. For so many years, whether in the imperial capital, the magic capital or in France, Ling Xiulan recognized herself There have been many girls with outstanding looks, but this is the first girl with such an extraordinary temperament.
Ling Xiulan is a person who loves beauty, and her temperament is very cheerful, so when she sees such a beautiful girl, a string of compliments pops out of her mind, she can't help it Ask Li Muwu: "Mr. Li, is this your daughter? She is so beautiful!"
Li Muwu was a little at a loss when he heard Mr. Li's name: "What, big sister, you're not used to calling me that, or you and Lao Xi call me Lao Li."
That must not work, such a beautiful girl Ling Xiulan's first reaction was to abduct her back to her own home to be her daughter-in-law. How could Lao Li be called by such a casual name.
Ling Xiulan also heard her husband mention the situation of the Li family, because she changed her name to a down-to-earth name: "Old Brother Li."
Li Muwu relaxed this time and kept grinning: "This is my daughter, her nickname is Zhen Zhen."
Ling Xiulan didn't care about her son who was holding a gift behind her, so she quickly stepped forward and took Zhen Zhen's hand, and asked her affectionately, "Your name is Zhen Zhen? Listen to my old Xi. , you are also studying at Imperial University?"
As soon as she arrived at the main yard, Ling Xiulan was shocked by the yard full of meat pigeons. Although her own meat pigeons were only bought for two or three days, Ling Xiulan felt that the pigeons of the old Li family looked like her. What about the pigeons you bought? Just thinking about it, Ling Xiulan saw the cage in the corner of the yard, and instantly affirmed her thoughts. The bow tied on the handle was tied by herself.
Ling Xiulan immediately turned her head to look at her son who had been silent all the way, only to see that his face was slightly red, although he tried his best to hide it, Ling Xiulan could see the clue in his unconscious pursuit of Zhen Zhen's figure, Ling Xiulan suddenly I woke up: co-authoring my son wasn't ignorant before, but it turned out that I hadn't met such a beautiful girl.
When the pigeon saw someone coming, it quickly flapped its wings and flew to the corner. Zhen Zhen was also a little annoyed when she saw the pigeons all over the floor, she just went to pick up Xi Junjie's family, but she forgot to put the pigeons away. She quickly clapped her hands at the pigeons, and saw ten pigeons rushing into the cage immediately, squatting obediently, and Zhen Zhen hurriedly closed the door of the cage.
Ling Xiulan was very surprised when she saw that this little girl from the Li family had trained these pigeons so obediently in the morning: "Have you raised pigeons before?"
"No." Zhen Zhen smiled a little embarrassedly: "But when I was in my hometown, I used to play with birds on the mountain at home, so I am more familiar with them."
Thinking that these pigeons were sent by Xi Junjie, since the adults have come to the house as a guest, I have to sincerely thank you: "I haven't thanked my aunt for giving me so many pigeons, Come here today and try my craft."
"Good! Good! Good!" Ling Xiulan smiled and laughed, looking back at her son's embarrassed expression, she laughed even more happily. Things at home went out to please girls.
Looking at the crowded pigeons in the cage, Ling Xiulan had already thought of the whereabouts of the wild ducks that were disappearing, she took Zhen Zhen's hand and asked with a smile, "Go on Is that wild duck delicious?"
"It's delicious, especially fat." Zhen Zhen smiled and rolled her eyes: "Auntie's wild ducks are really good, and the soup tastes delicious."
Tell your aunt what you like to eat, and I love raising these things."
Following Ling Xiulan's line of sight, Zhen Zhen's eyes also fell on Xi Junjie, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "How embarrassing, I have eaten a lot of ducks in your family these past few months. It's over."
Ling Xiulan thought about the number of ducks she lost, and nodded silently in her heart: I ate a lot!
Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen just heard Li Muwu's invitation to the neighbors to be guests at the house. Wang Sufen quickly wiped the floor again when no one came, and put away the odds and ends. Although Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li Muwu live in the main house now, Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen are both clean people. They can't wait to clean the house three times a day, and they will always be shiny.
Mr. Li picked out some of the fruits that Li Muwen sent, and filled a pot full of them and asked Xie Yanan and Wang Xinwen to wash them. The fruit has been served on the plate.
The courtyard where Zhen Zhen's family lived was the middle courtyard of the former palace, so the layout from the front yard to the main room was different from that of Xi Junjie's house. Xi Changbo admired the original appearance of the old house, while the main room, when he entered the door, he saw the rosewood furniture of Yishui.
It has been almost a year since the old Li family came to the imperial capital. The social environment is becoming more and more relaxed, and there are more and more places and channels to buy things without bills. There is less furniture, because the rest of the money to buy the house is in her hands, so the family didn't think too much about it.
Living in this kind of quaint house, Zhen Zhen doesn't like to put new furniture in it, so in addition to a few things from the Qing Dynasty in the house, they were added later The worst is also the style of the Republic of China imitating the Qing Dynasty. For example, the furniture in the main hall is imitating the rosewood inlaid with colorful snails in the Qing Dynasty. Peace and other patterns.
Because it is not a very rare antique, Xi Changbo and Ling Xiulan did not pay special attention to furniture, but invariably set their eyes on a row of orchids in the main hall. The orchid varieties I saw in Xi Junjie's room last night can basically be seen here. If you look at the flowerpots, they are all of the same variety and one series, and you will buy them together.
"Auntie, your flowers are very good." Ling Xiulan boasted with a smile.
"It's all brought by my family Zhen Zhen." When Mrs. Li talked about her granddaughter, she only praised: "She has always loved flowers and plants since she was a child. Okay, if you like to move two pots when you go."
"I also have a lot of orchids at home." Ling Xiulan said with a smile: "I usually like to take care of flowers and plants, but they are just average, and Mingzhen will come to my house to sit if you have time. Sit down and talk about flowers and grass, auntie, you don't know, I just like her when I see it."
Mr. Li said cheerfully: "If you don't think she's panicking, ask her to play. When we were in the Black Province, we used to visit various houses to chat and talk about something. When you come to the imperial capital, you don’t know anyone, you just don’t have a place to chat.”
"In the future, my aunt and my sister-in-law will go to my house to chat. Usually, the children are not at home for school, and I am bored alone." Ling Xiulan said enthusiastically: "It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, not to mention we The two families are dismantled mansions from the same palace, separated by a wall, so they should get closer and closer."
"Okay, then you can come to my house if you have nothing to do. Although my house doesn't have so many flowers, it has grown a lot of vegetables. You can just pick whatever you want." Mrs. Li was also bored for a long time. , When I saw someone willing to deal with my family, I immediately agreed.
The room was lively, and Zhen Zhen came in with a tea tray. There are good tea leaves sent by Li Muwen in the house. In order to appear solemn, Zhen Zhen also specially found a set of porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty official kiln in the space to make tea.
Xi Changbo lifted the lid of the tea, took a sip, and praised: "Good tea!"
Ling Xiulan took the tea that Zhen Zhen handed over and put it on the table to the side, looking at her heartily happy: "Good boy, stop busy, let's sit down and talk."
"Okay." Zhen Zhen agreed with a smile, and turned around to give Xi Junjie another cup of tea.
Since he entered the main room, Xi Junjie has quickly adjusted his mentality. Since he dresses casually, he should behave better, but he must not give up on himself and leave a bad impression. So Zhen Zhen came over for tea, Xi Junjie hurriedly stood up and took the tea cup, before putting it on the table, he couldn't wait to praise: "The tea you brewed is really good, I have a good time today."
Zhen Zhen smiled and rolled her eyes: "You know my tea is ready before you drink it?"
Xi Junjie's eyes were full of smiles: "I can smell the fragrance of your tea."
As soon as Xi Changbo called in and talked to Li Muwu, he didn't notice his son's behavior before, but seeing Xi Junjie's attentive look, Xi Changbo was instantly triumphant: stinky boy, He also said that he didn't know other girls, but looking at the proficiency in flattering, I'm afraid he liked other girls for a long time.
Mr. Li put on her reading glasses and looked at Xi Junjie carefully, with a look of liking in her eyes: "Yo, this is your child? already."
Ling Xiulan hurriedly smiled and said: "It's still your Li Mingzhen who looks good, to tell the truth, I have traveled a lot of places and seen a lot of beauties, this child Ming Zhen is not only beautiful , the key is to bring some spiritual energy, and people like it at a glance."
Everyone likes to listen to other people praising their children. As soon as Ling Xiulan finished speaking, Mrs. Li's eyes narrowed, and Wang Sufen smiled embarrassedly when she saw others praising her daughter. Don't look at her quietly and quietly, in fact, she is jumping up and down wildly."
"It's good to be lively." Ling Xiulan hurriedly said: "My house is just too quiet, I used to know that he would go out for a run with his dad at seven o'clock, but now every time his dad calls him, he I'm not going." She looked at Zhen Zhen with a happy look on her face: "Since Zhen Zhen and Junjie are classmates and both are French majors, we can make an appointment to participate in more on-campus activities in the future. Junjie, are you here? The school also takes care of some Zhen Zhen.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mingxi and Mingbei who had just packed their chickens and ducks came into the house to say hello, Mingxi glanced at Xi Junjie, who was sitting at the bottom, and said in surprise: "Hey, this is Isn't that the guy who runs with Zhen Zhen every morning? So he lives next door?" Seeing the crowd quiet down instantly, Mingxi was still a little confused.
Since Mingxi lived in the courtyard, she found out that Zhen Zhen went out for a run every morning, because her parents and grandma lived in the same courtyard with Zhen Zhen, Mingxi thought that everyone in the family knew about it, So I said it out loud. At this time, he saw that everyone didn't speak, and he didn't understand what was going on. He added with a smirk: "It's early, I went out for a run at 5:30, just in time for us to be in the army."
Li Muwu:…
Xi Long Wave:…
Mingxi looked at everyone staring at him, especially the father's eyes, like breathing fire, and immediately took two steps back in embarrassment: "Well, I suddenly remembered that Zhen Zhen asked me to I haven't finished cleaning up the meat pigeons, so what, I'd better kill the pigeons first..."
Seeing that Mingxi was running fast, Zhen Zhen also stood up pretending to be indifferent: "Since the ducks are all cleaned up, I have to go to roast them quickly, the stove will be lit early in the morning." He said hello to Xi Changbo and Ling Xiulan, and secretly gave Xi Junjie a helpless look, and slipped away in a particularly dishonest manner.
Xi Junjie bit his head and glanced at his schadenfreude parents, and at Li Muwu, who had a very complicated expression, he didn't know what to say. After all, his original plan was not like this.
Compared to the father's reluctance to bear his daughter, Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen seemed much happier. When they were in Beicha, a child as big as Zhen Zhen was already married, and they gave birth to the old Li family. One got married later than the other, and when she came to Zhen Zhen, she knew that she went to school and read books all day long. Old lady Li was really worried that she didn't have that muscle.
Since she may become the future grandson-in-law, Mrs. Li looks at Xi Junjie with harsher eyes. It doesn't matter if Mrs. Li lives so old Such a handsome boy can be well-bred even if he looks at him. As for his character and character, he can't tell just by looking at him. He will only know after a long time of contact. But thinking about the boys who were the same age as Zhen Zhen in Beicha before, Mrs. Li still liked Xi Junjie.
Looking at Li Muwu looking at Xi Junjie fiercely, Mrs. Li helped to smooth things out: "Actually, it's good to go out for a run in the morning, and you won't suffer when you're healthy. Look at our family. Mu Wu, what I have done in this life is strength work, and I did not rely on going up the mountain every day to exercise when I was a child." Mrs. Li glared at Li Muwu and said with a smile, "In the future, I will go for a run when I get up in the morning, don't be stupid all day long. Eat and sleep, learn more from others."
Mingbei just came into the room and sat down for less than two minutes before laying down the gun, he hadn't figured out the situation, scratched the back of his head and looked at Xi Junjie next to him for a long time before he recovered: " It's you, I see you every time I drive home from school."
Xi Junjie smiled: "I'm also at Imperial College, so I'm on the way."
"What a coincidence." Mingbei grinned happily: "Then what, my name is Li Mingbei, what is your name?"
"Xi Junjie, majoring in French in the Spanish Department."
"Xi Junjie...The Spanish major is French..." Mingbei frowned slightly, as if thinking about something: "This name sounds familiar." Mingbei thought for a while and suddenly his eyes lit up: " By the way, I heard from my daughter-in-law last semester, she said that my family Zhen Zhen said you look good, and Zhen Zhen, a French major, will remember your name. At that time, my daughter-in-law was frightened, she dragged me to ask Let's see how good-looking you are, and we haven't caught it because we have to prepare for the exam." He took a closer look at Xi Junjie's face, frowned and nodded: "It's pretty, or I Sister designated not to remember you."
Mr. Li looked at Ming Bei and sighed. She was admitted to the National University. Seeing that Mingbei was about to continue chatting, Mrs. Li couldn't help calling him: "Don't sit here stupidly, isn't Zhen Zhen going to roast duck, go and add firewood for your sister."
"Oh." Mingbei stood up, not forgetting to say hello to Xi Junjie: "What time do you go back to school at night, let's go together and chat in the car."
Xi Junjie didn't need to look at Li Muwu, he knew that Mingbei couldn't run away, he couldn't sit still here, so he took the opportunity to stand up: "Grandma Li, why don't I Can you help me too?"
Seeing Xi Junjie suffering in the house, Mrs. Li nodded: "Go and play, don't touch your hands, there are many family members, you don't need your help."
Xi Junjie responded, followed Mingbei and left the main room in a hurry. He was relieved until he reached the kitchen at the back along the corridor.
It's the first time I've seen a calm look that changed color, and a nervous look like today."
Mr. Li said with a smile: "Junjie and Zhen Zhen are both college students, they have their own ideas, and they still secretly don't tell the family when they deal with each other. Now TV is not always talking about anything. Free love, then let them go freely, we adults don't care too much, the province's mixing is deep and unwilling."
Li Muwu felt aggrieved when he heard it: "How old is Zhen Zhen?"
Wang Sufen glanced at him and immediately dismantled him: "Not too small, I was pregnant with Mingdong when I was as old as Zhen Zhen."
"That's different." Li Muwu was in a hurry. After holding it for a long time, Li Muwu finally came up with an excuse: "My daughter studies well, my daughter is the first in the class, and my daughter has a special scholarship."
Xi Changbo was about to speak when Li Muwu said again: "My daughter can still fish! What's your son's ability?"
Xi Changbo watched calmly: "The girl my son likes is more capable."
Li Muwu: ...so shameless!
