When Leng Lingxiao came down, Tang Xiaowan was eating deliciously, taking a bite of eggplant clips and a bite of pregnant peppers, but her eyes were fixed on the big iron pot on the stove, waiting for the water to boil to make the dumplings.
"Don't move, I'll do it."
"Mr. Leng, your injury..."
"It's okay, give it to me."
Leng Lingxiao took the rag from Grandma Yu's hand, slowly picked up the oil pan, and pointed it at the light yellow enamel basin next to her: "Pour it into this, small or not?"
"Pour it, no problem."
Sure enough, as Grandma Yu said, it's just right.
I can’t tell, but he’s quite winking!
Tang Xiaowan curled her lips and sighed secretly in her heart. When she turned her head, she met Leng Lingxiao's bright eyes. The man's eyes seemed to be saying to her, it's a trivial matter, just a little effort.
"Put that pot on and let's cook together, otherwise we have to wait because there are so many people." Tang Xiaowan suddenly spoke and said to Leng Lingxiao.
The man took out the pot on the shelf, filled it with water, and put it on the stove. After finishing, he thought that the girl would say something like praise, but he never thought that she had disappeared long ago.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Leng. Please go and take a rest." Grandma Yu handed over a tissue and said with a smile.
Leng Lingxiao wiped his hands and left immediately.
"Tangtang, Tangtang..."
As soon as he went out he started shouting, his voice loud and clear.
"The lady is in the yard."
At this time, Wang Meijuan happened to walk into the living room and pointed behind her.
"Tangtang, Tangtang..."
The man continued shouting and then went to the small courtyard.
I saw Tang Xiaowan leaning against the pillar of the pavilion, sitting in a very majestic posture. Fortunately, she was wearing casual pants, otherwise she would have to be naked.
"Why are you calling me?"
Leng Lingxiao glanced at the round wooden table: "Are you going to eat here later?"
"Are you in charge?"
"Dumplings? Okay, what's the big deal?"
"You're just kidding, let me handle it, don't make your injury serious."
"Wow, that's so nice, I'm flattered!"
Leng Lingxiao knew that Tang Xiaowan had a hard mouth and a soft heart, and would not just let herself serve the dumplings. She would definitely help when the dumplings were ready, but she was quite happy when these words came out of her mouth.
"Mr. Leng, you don't have anything else... do you want to tell me?" Tang Xiaowan suddenly sat upright and asked tentatively.
Why don't you call Huahua?
Mr. Leng, tell her anything else?
Leng Lingxiao's heart tightened suddenly, feeling that there was something in his words: "Yes, of course there is!"
"Go on, I'm all ears."
Seeing Tang Xiaowan's expectant look, Leng Lingxiao felt anxious.
Did you really find out about changing the dressing?
This guy looks big, but he's actually not easy to deceive at all!
"Say it quickly, why don't you say it?"
Tang Xiaowan was a little anxious and asked again.
"Oh, I do have something to tell you. You are going to have a sports meeting and catch up with the school anniversary. I decided to donate some water and some first aid supplies for free as a friend."
After saying this, Tang Xiaowan shook her head indifferently, thinking that the man would confess about changing the dressing.
"Hey, what's your expression?"
Although Leng Lingxiao felt guilty and suspected that Tang Xiaowan already knew, he still stared at her seriously and said this rhetorical question.
"Surprised expression." Tang Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Leng Lingxiao, and then looked towards the blue sky.
You won’t say it, right? Okay, you are awesome!
After finishing the meal, I poured out all the medicine. Not a single pill was left. I poured it all out.
"Hey, let me tell you, classmate Tangtang, don't underestimate these things. They are inconspicuous and cost a lot of money." Leng Lingxiao reiterated again, looking very distressed.
Tang Xiaowan raised her eyebrows and said, "Thank you sir for your generous donation. I will definitely remember this in my heart, little lady."
Leng Lingxiao: "..."
"Recover quickly, it's so awkward."
"Anyway, you have a lot of money, so just donate it. I'll feel bad if I don't spend some money." Tang Xiaowan said with a smile.
Leng Lingxiao immediately straightened his body and nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, I will donate in my own name, and it will definitely not involve...your part of the funds."
"Tch, that's how it should be!"
Leng Lingxiao smiled and said softly: "Little money fan, I knew..."
Before they finished speaking, Granny Yu and Wang Meijuan came over with dumplings, vinegar and chili peppers. Behind them was Cheng Shi, holding eggplant clips and pregnant chili peppers poured with sauce.
"It's so fast, everything is ready!" Tang Xiaowan looked at Leng Lingxiao proudly.
"Well, no need to serve it, hahaha."
…
On the other side, Nanjiang Villa.
Last night Li Zihan called and said that he would not go to Liyuan for the time being and wanted to go back to his mother's place for a while. Li Zishen didn't think much about it and told him to exercise more. The sports meeting was coming soon.
Li Zihan didn't mention her mother's fainting.
"Mom, how do you feel this morning?" Li Zihan put some vegetable moss into a bowl for Mrs. Li and asked with concern.
"It's alright now, let's eat quickly."
"Oh, that's good."
Mrs. Li's appetite has never been very good. The rice is only half a bowl, but Wu's mother just filled it with a lot. She doesn't want Li Zihan to worry about this and affect his studies.
Junior year is crucial. Although the Li family has many connections to arrange where Li Zihan will go after graduation, his mother, Mrs. Li, still hopes that he can study abroad like his brother Li Zishen and become the pride of the Li family after he returns.
"Mom, when I came back, I saw my third uncle. He seemed unhappy and had a sullen face. Did he have some conflict with his second uncle again?"
"It's nothing, just your second uncle's companies... I don't know what happened recently. They said data was lost. They seem to have lost a lot of money. I suspect your third uncle is responsible."
"My second uncle is here too?"
"Well, the two of them came in tandem. They came to me just as a cover. They didn't want your brother to step in and clean up his mess."
"That's it, I say."
Li Zihan smiled evilly and handed the bowl to Wu Ma: "More rice, by the way, why is there no beef or even pork today?"
This question made Wu Ma feel a little embarrassed.
After Li Zhenshan passed away, Mrs. Li began to be a vegetarian, and she became accustomed to it.
The youngest son Li Zihan rarely comes back at noon. He said hello in advance yesterday, but he didn't expect to come back today. Therefore, Wu Ma did not prepare his favorite meat in advance.
There are some frozen ones, but if you don’t have time, thawing them also takes time.
"I'm sorry, young master, I was negligent."
"Oh, it's okay. It's good to be a vegetarian. The stir-fried lettuce is very good and goes well with rice. I've already eaten a second bowl."
Hearty laughter suddenly sounded.
In order to make Wu Ma feel better, Li Zihan quickly put another chopstick of lettuce into his bowl.
"Wu Ma, go get the imported cans that his second uncle brought... and open two boxes for Zihan to try." Mrs. Li said with a smile.
"Yes, ma'am."
Before Wu Ma could turn around and leave, Li Zihan added angrily: "No need to take it. I don't dare to eat his food. I might not know what's in it. I'm full of bad intentions and have no good intentions."
"Children, what are you talking about?"
Although Mrs. Li scolded her like this, she still signaled to Wu Ma not to go get it.
In the restaurant, it suddenly became quiet.
