Did the little widow revive her wife today?

Chapter 22
The three of them were chatting and laughing, and in the blink of an eye, they forgot what happened just now.

The meal at Lao Li's family was really hearty and hearty, and he showed all his heart.

"Mr. Su once said that he eats [-] lychees a day, and he is willing to grow up as a Lingnan native. I couldn't understand it before, but now my aunt's handicraft really makes me fully understand the meaning of this statement."

Shen Qing put down the chopsticks and sighed heavily, "It's so delicious, I'm afraid I will often miss it in the future."

"What's so difficult about it." Aunt Li smiled, "If you like it, you can just take it to my house and eat it."

"Haha." Shen Qing replied with a smile, "Even if you are going to be kicked out by my aunt in a few days, if you see me in the future, you will have to take a detour and mutter a few words somewhere, and then that beggar will come to you again."

"How could it be! Is Auntie this kind of person?" Aunt Li laughed at Shen Qing's words, "Besides, just open your mouth, how much can you eat?"

"Ahem, ahem, has Mrs. Shen also read Mr. Su's random diary?"

Li Zhongyuan who was lying on the pit next to him coughed a few times, but his pale face was much more bloody than before, and he looked at Shen Qing curiously.

Shen Qing said without changing his face, "When I was young, there was a scholar in the village. When I went to pick osmanthus at their house, I heard him read a few books."

"Then Mrs. Shen is really smart, what a pity."

Li Zhongyuan said with emotion, but he heard someone read it, not only can memorize it for so long, but also use it. It's a pity that he can't read and practice calligraphy.

Shen Qing smiled and said, "That's because the scholar's reading is all about food, so I can remember it! If there are a lot of things about people, I will feel dizzy, how can I remember it?"

As if telling a joke, Shen Qing pretended to complain, "You don't know, he often recites that the Yangtze River goes around the country to know the beauty of the fish, the bamboos are connected to the mountains and the bamboo shoots are fragrant, the Qin cooks only mutton, the long delicacies have bear curd, what else? Sweet soup, steamed chicken, Huyang crisp. As a child, can I not get hungry after listening to it? And I have to lie under his corner every day for a while and feel like eating.”

Although it was a complaint, Shen Qing had a smile on his lips, perhaps reminiscing about that time.

For Shen Qing, she did lean over the corner, but it really wasn't for stuttering.

There is no shortage of food in the Shen family. In the kitchen in the backyard, there are chefs from all over the world. Whatever she wants to eat, Huaiyang cuisine or Chaozhou style dishes, just order and eat.

She was not afraid of losing face when she said it, she was lying on the corner to eavesdrop on the gossip in the alley next door, that alley was relatively secluded, and there were often people whispering there, Shen Qing was young at the time, so she listened with gusto.

Of course, he was discovered later, and his mother slapped his palm severely and punished him a lot.

"Probably, I was reading Mr. Su's "Old Gluttony" at the time."

Li Zhongyuan restrained the itch in his throat, but regretfully said, "I don't have this book at home, otherwise I can use Mrs. Shen to recollect it."

"But there seems to be Mr. Lu's "Gourmet Story"." Aunt Li interjected.

The old man Li who was listening quietly next to him stroked his beard, and said, "However, Mr. Su's miscellaneous notes are more interesting. The one I bought back then, unfortunately I don't know where to throw it."

At the beginning, the situation was complicated, and they couldn't allow them to choose more, so they could only bring some books along with them.

Shen Qing's eyes lit up, here she comes, the opportunity for her to borrow books has come.

"So, your family has quite a collection of books?"

Even this kind of notes are hidden, this is also a "big rich family", but I can't think of a good rich family who likes to stay in this country, and even farms by themselves and takes care of trivial matters in life.

"Not too many." Li Zhongyuan said honestly, "It's just a few more books than others. If Mrs. Shen is interested, you can read it."

Aunt Li and Old Man Li both nodded, and the three of them didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all.

If other people come to borrow books, they will worry whether the other party intends to steal the books, or has other ideas. The rural people can't read, and the borrowing books are more likely to be resold.

But for Shen Qing's words, for some reason, they always felt that the other party was literate.

It is also very normal for scholars to borrow a book.

Moreover, only those who read will know how to cherish books, and those who don't know big characters will easily spoil books.

The three of them could only blame it in their hearts, guessing that Shen Qing had really been influenced by the scholar next door back then.

What the hell.

When Shen Qing and Zhao Yi left from Li's house, they were still holding in their arms the dried sweet potatoes that Aunt Li gave to her which she made herself.

There is a layer of cloth under these dried sweet potatoes, and there is a fresh book that has just been brought.

Shen Qing picked up the book, wanted to stuff it into his chest, and took it in directly, not knowing what troubles would happen later.

She is not afraid of things, but it is one thing to be able to be less.

"I'll hold it for you." Zhao Yi hid the books under his clothes for Shen Qing, so that Shen Qing would be much more relaxed.

"Hmm..." The words Shen Qing planned to refuse twitched on the tip of his lips, and finally swallowed it back, "Okay, then it will be troublesome."

Zhao Yi lowered his eyes and carefully put the things into his arms, which seemed to be tainted with Shen Qing's temperature.

Back at Zhao's house, sure enough, the whole family had finished their meal, but it was rare that they didn't leave after eating, but sat there instead.

Obviously waiting for Shen Qing and the others to come back.

Several men from the Zhao family were not there, but He Guihua and the other two daughters-in-law were waiting for them.

"came back?"

He Guihua noticed the oily leather bag in Shen Qing's hand at a glance, "What is it in your hand?"

"Some dried sweet potatoes from next door."

"Heh, is the food made by their family edible?" He Guihua said, "Who knows if it's going to be broken, so I gave it away, so be careful if you eat it! It's even worth the money for the doctor's visit!"

Speaking of this, He Guihua remembered the more important business today, and said again, "Why did the Li family invite you to dinner? There is no reason, even if his family is prosperous, it has nothing to do with us, why invite you to dinner."

It was because of this episode that He Guihua and Zhou's and Qian's patiently stayed here until Shen Qing and the others came back.

"I don't know, maybe it's because we both look like each other."

Shen Qing said nonsense casually, "Or maybe it's because our personality is too pleasing, so everyone in the old Li's family likes us very much,"

Hey, there is no way, the popularity is too good.

He Guihua: ...

Look at this kind of words, do they believe it?

But no matter whether he believed it or not, Shen Qing insisted that it was all due to his personality charm.

Later, Mrs. Zhou smoothed things over, "Hey, it's not a big deal. Hey, I said the dried sweet potatoes made by Old Li's family are really delicious."

Zhou Shi took a dried sweet potato from Shen Qing's bosom, chewed it, it was sweet and not particularly hard.

I have to say, the craftsmanship of this old Li's family is really good, the stuff smells delicious at night, and now the dried sweet potatoes are also delicious to eat.
