Chapter 245 Caller ID: Qi Meilan’s Dad
After dinner that day, Qi Wentao was sitting in the living room watching the news when he caught a glimpse of his daughter carrying a change of clothes into the bathroom. When the sound of shower water came from the bathroom, he immediately put down the teacup in his hand, got up and hurried to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Ni Fenglan is washing dishes.

Qi Wentao walked up to her and asked in a low voice, "How are you doing? Have you asked Lanlan?"

Ni Fenglan didn't look at him and continued washing the dishes, just humming.

Seeing that his wife was not in a high mood, Qi Wentao immediately guessed something.

Frowning, he asked, "What? No one is chasing her?"

Ni Fenglan shook her head and sighed: "Yes, there are some, but she rejected them all. She is not interested in those people. I think! She has been poisoned by that boy named Yang! There is no hope!"

Qi Wentao's expression was heavy upon hearing this.

Ni Fenglan turned to look at him, "What? You have no idea? Don't you usually have a lot of ideas? But when it comes to your daughter's life-long affairs, you have no idea?"

Qi Wentao lowered his head and took out his cigarette case and lighter, took out one and lit it, frowned, took two puffs, and then sighed: "I must have an idea, just, just..."

Ni Fenglan is an impatient person, and she gets angry when she sees him grinding away.

"What is that? Can you fart loudly?"

Qi Wentao didn't argue with her. He looked at her and said with a wry smile: "It's just a bit risky. It seems a bit careless about Lanlan's lifelong happiness."

Ni Fenglan was puzzled: "What is the idea? You tell me first and listen to it!"

Qi Wentao took another puff of cigarette, and when he exhaled the smoke, he whispered: "Urge them to get married!"

Ni Fenglan stopped washing the dishes and looked at him in surprise, "What did you say? Pressing for marriage? You clearly know that there is another woman outside that boy, but you are pressing for marriage at this time? What do you think of you? Don't say, That kid may not agree to marry Lan Lan. Even if he does agree and actually marries Lan Lan, what if he continues to have sex with the woman in the photo after marriage? What do you think we should do then? Just let Lan Lan do it. Will Lan remain a cuckold for the rest of his life?"

Qi Wentao smiled bitterly, "So, I didn't want to talk about this solution just now. I also thought it was very rash! But in this situation, what else can you do? Either persuade Lanlan to break up with that kid, or help Lanlan Lan captures that kid’s heart, otherwise what other good ideas can you think of?”

Ni Fenglan rolled her eyes, shook her head thoughtfully, and said, "No! There is a third way!"

Qi Wentao was surprised, "Oh? What method?"

Ni Fenglan: "I went to meet the girl in the photo privately, talk to her, and let her know that Yang Xingyu is not a good guy. While that guy was dating her, he was also with our daughter. The girl in the photo You saw it too, she is so beautiful, maybe after knowing the truth, she will break up with the boy named Yang, what do you think?"

Qi Wentao nodded slightly, "It's an idea, but I think it's possible. Even if the girl knows the truth, she still doesn't want to quit. After all, Xiao Yang's conditions are indeed very good in all aspects, especially his current business and advertising. It was reported to our city’s TV station, a young man like him is very attractive to young girls!”

Ni Fenglan looked at him, frowned and thought for a while, then said: "That's it! You first find out the girl's identity. If that doesn't work, I will go directly to the girl's house and talk to the girl's parents! You think this will work ?"

Qi Wentao frowned and shook his head, "Don't! If you do this, things will be too ugly. If the news spreads and reaches the ears of teachers or students in our school, will I, the vice principal, see anyone in the future? No. !No! I don’t agree with you going to meet that girl’s parents!”

Ni Fenglan: "..."

Ni Fenglan stared at her husband for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Then you go and meet the boy named Yang in private, maybe ask him to have a meal and drink some wine, and then you have a showdown with him! Force him to follow The girl in the photo broke up! Is that okay?"

Qi Wentao thought for a while and nodded, "We can try this idea, but I'm afraid that this guy won't choose our Lanlan between Lanlan and the girl in the photo! By then, if this guy breaks up with Lanlan , Lanlan is still very sad."

Ni Fenglan was furious when she heard this. Distraught, she suddenly kicked him in the calf.

"Ah... what are you doing?"

Qi Wentao immediately squatted down in pain and quickly rubbed the area where his calf was kicked with both hands.

Ni Fenglan: "You deserve it! Are you a man? One worry on the left and another on the right. You are the only one who has considered the problem comprehensively and thoughtfully, right? I finally understand why the ancients said that scholars rebelled and failed in three years. You scholars, when you encounter There is something to be done, and you are afraid of the wolf before you and the tiger behind you! You haven’t done anything yet, and there are a lot of problems to worry about. Just like you, if you haven’t gone to school, you won’t be able to get a wife in the countryside! "

"You've gone too far!"

Qi Wentao stood up with a grin on his face and squinted at Ni Fenglan with warning eyes.

Ni Fenglan: "What happened if I went too far? Do you still dare to have an opinion?"

Speaking disdainfully, she suddenly kicked Qi Wentao in the calf.

Qi Wentao's mouth widened, he took a breath of air, his eyes widened in an exaggerated expression, his lips trembled, he slowly squatted down and rubbed his calves hard with both hands.

Seeing him like this, Ni Fenglan snorted coldly and continued to wash the dishes while ordering in a deep voice: "That's it! Find a time to call that guy tomorrow and ask him to go back to the county town to have dinner with you! You will be at the dining table then Put pressure on him to break up with the girl in the photo!"

Qi Wentao gasped while rubbing his calf. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask: "Then what if this kid...hiss...what if this kid chooses to break up with Lan Lan?" Ni Fenglan said coldly with a straight face: "It's going to rain and my mother is getting married. Just do whatever you want! Lan Lan is already in her late twenties and is no longer a little girl! If that boy really wants to break up with her, then she should be a grown-up person. You have to bear it! If you can't bear a broken love, then if we both die in the future, why should she stop living?"

Qi Wentao couldn't bear it, and his expression looked a little tangled, "Isn't this too simple and crude? Let's, let's think about it more."

Ni Fenglan turned her head and glared at him, "You're just thinking about it! What I want is to cut through the mess with a quick knife! It would be better to be simple and rough! I'm not like you, looking forward and backward!"

Qi Wentao: "..."

……

It was around 10 am the next day.

In the city, Yuwei Alley, in the small courtyard where Yang Xingyu recently rented.

In the living room on the first floor.

Yang Xingyu held a utility knife in his hand, walked to several cardboard boxes, and used the utility knife in his hand to cut open the tape on the seal of one of the cardboard boxes.

Then open the carton.

Inside the box were dozens of kilograms of anise packed in transparent plastic bags.

These star anise are the spices he prepared for those franchise stores. In addition to the eight stores, there are also several other spices in other cardboard boxes next to them.

Through the plastic bag, you can see that the octagonal shape and color inside are good.

But he still opened the plastic bag, reached out and grabbed a handful of star anise, looked at it carefully, not only looked at it, but also brought the star anise to his nose, smelled the smell, and finally put one of the star anise into his mouth and chewed it.

Tiger Tiger and Zhong Xingfei watched curiously as Yang Xingyu did this.

Zhong Xingfei couldn't help but ask: "Big pot, do you have to taste the star anise with your mouth? Can you bite it?"

Yang Xingyu chewed loudly. Hearing this, he glanced at Zhong Xingfei and spit out the chewed anise into the trash can next to him.

"water!"

Yang Xingyu stretched out a hand in front of Tiger, and Tiger quickly handed Yang Xingyu's thermos cup over.

Yang Xingyu opened the thermos cup, drank some water, gargled his mouth, spat all the gargled water into the trash can, and wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth with his thumb. Only then did he answer Zhong Xingfei's question.

"Dogs can even chew bones, but we humans can't even chew an anise? Do you think our ancestors evolved such teeth just to drink milk? Are they bread eaters?"

Zhong Xingfei was speechless.

The tiger saw him at the side and added with a smile: "Xiao Fei, you never chewed fried broad beans when you were a child, right? After the old broad beans are fried, the shell is as hard as iron. When we were children, there was nothing to eat in winter. , Fried broad beans are a good thing! You can only eat one in half a day, so it’s best to pass the time. If you fry two pounds of old broad beans, you’ll have snacks for a week or two.”

Zhong Xingfei was surprised to hear this.

He is young. When he was young, life in the countryside was no longer so difficult, and he had never experienced the feeling of chewing old broad beans.

He couldn't help but ask: "Really or not? Brother Tiger, since old broad beans are so unpalatable, why didn't you eat salt-fried soybeans when you were children? Old soybeans fried with salt are much more delicious, right? They are also very fragrant! "

Tiger laughed, "What do you think? Old soybeans can be sold for money! Old broad beans are generally not bought by anyone. At that time, most of the things that could be sold for money were sold. Only the things that no one bought could be used as snacks for us. I I remember when I was a child, when I really had nothing to eat, I would go to the fields to find radishes, the kind of white radishes grown in rural areas. I would pull out two of them, wash them clean, and nibble off the skin. The remaining radishes could be eaten as fruit. Although I'm a bit spicy, but when I was a kid, I was hungry very quickly, and my stomach was often unbearably hungry, and my mouth was also greedy. I wanted to eat everything I saw, such as sparrows, have you ever eaten them?"

"Brother Tiger, have you ever eaten sparrows?"

Zhong Xingfei's curiosity was aroused.

Tiger nodded with a smile, "Of course! In the past, the roofs of every household in the village were covered with either straw or tiles. Sparrows have a habit of making nests. They not only like to make nests under the eaves, but also like to leave a piece of straw hanging outside at the door of the nest. , probably because they are afraid that they can’t find their way home! Anyway, wherever you see a piece of straw hanging under the eaves, there is basically a sparrow nest. If you reach in and touch it, you will basically either touch the sparrow or you can touch it. When you touch the sparrow eggs, take them home and roast them in the stove, then take them out and peel off the burnt skin, they will taste delicious!"

Just when one of them was talking happily and the other was listening with gusto, Yang Xingyu's cell phone rang.

Yang Xingyu casually took out his mobile phone and found that the caller ID turned out to be Qi Meilan's father.
