Chapter 246 Xu Youyu's sneak attack
February 2, New Year’s Eve, six o’clock in the morning.

It was a winter morning, when the sky was still hazy and dark. A little light faintly shone through the horizon, casting a layer of light and sheen over the yard.

Li Luo got up early in the morning, yawned, went into the bathroom to wash up, then put on his coat and went downstairs.

At this time, Lin Xiuhong and her grandmother, as well as her aunt and sister-in-law who had returned yesterday evening, had all gotten up. White porridge was being cooked in the kitchen. The four of them sat on the sofa in the living room, chatting privately.

There is a full 20-year age difference between Li Guoru and Li Guohong, so for Li Luo, his uncle and aunt have always given him a bit of the feeling of grandparents since he was a child.

On the contrary, his cousin Li Dao, who is of the same generation as him, is twenty years older than him, so his cousin and sister-in-law are more like uncle and aunt rather than brother and sister-in-law.

Li Dao's son Li Xiang is three or four years older than him.

On the contrary, after rebirth, the 35-year-old soul lives in the body of a young boy, which is just right to adapt to this age difference.

"Huh? Why did Li Luo get up so early?" Auntie was surprised to see Li Luo coming downstairs, then smiled and said, "So there is a reason why you have good grades. It is also important to go to bed early and get up early."

"Don't praise him anymore. He was praised all day yesterday." Lin Xiuhong laughed and said, "If you continue to praise him, I'm afraid he will be praised to the sky."

Li Luo walked into the living room and greeted the elders one by one.

My sister-in-law reminded me softly, "There's porridge in the kitchen. Please sit down for a while and eat some biscuits and cakes on the coffee table. We'll have breakfast together later."

"Thank you, sister-in-law, but I still have to go for a morning run." After saying hello, Li Luo walked straight out the door, "I'll come back to eat after I finish my run."

"Hey!" Seeing that he was about to go out, Lin Xiuhong hurriedly called him, "Then when you come back, buy a bag of salt and MSG! And buy two bags of rice wine!"

"Salt, MSG, and rice wine." Li Luo repeated, nodded, and said, "Got it."

After accepting the daily commission task issued by his mother, Li Luo went down the stairs next to the small balcony on the second floor and walked towards the second floor of the 8th household in the 7th row next to it.

Halfway through the walk, Li Luo saw Grandpa Ying sitting in a rocking chair in the yard.

"Morning, Grandpa Ying!"

"Oh! Li Luo." Grandpa Ying looked up and then laughed, "Are you looking for Xixi?"

"Correct."

"It's on the third floor, go ahead."

"Has Grandpa Ying had breakfast?" Li Luo asked as he went upstairs. "If not, come to our place with Xixi to have some porridge later."

"I see." Grandpa Ying said with a smile, "Your mother came over and called me just now."

"That's good." Li Luo climbed up to the second floor opposite, walked into the living room, and then went up to the third floor from the indoor stairwell, and his steps slowed down.

Well... Uncle Ying is sleeping in the master bedroom, so we can’t disturb him.

Li Luo quietly passed by the door of the master bedroom, then came to the door of the second bedroom, raised his right hand, and gently knocked on the door with two knuckles.

I knocked a few times, but there was no response.

Li Luo had no choice but to hold the door handle, push the door open, and say inside: "I'm coming in."

Then he took a look through the crack in the door, making sure Ying Chanxi was sleeping soundly wrapped in a quilt before he opened the door completely and walked into the room.

Coming to Ying Chanxi's bed, Li Luo saw her holding the quilt tightly in her arms and immediately smiled, thinking that he didn't know when she could change her habit of grabbing the quilt so late at night.

Thinking of this, Li Luo squatted down, reached out his hand tentatively, and pulled the quilt in her arms a little closer.

As a result, Ying Chanxi, who was sleeping soundly, frowned slightly, exerted force with his hands, and pulled the quilt back.

"You're so stingy even when you're asleep." Li Luo muttered to himself, and finally stopped teasing her. He stretched out his finger to poke Ying Chanxi's elastic face and said softly, "Wake up, lazy pig."

"Hmm..." Ying Chanxi was a little awakened, but he was still in a daze, half asleep and half awake.

Seeing this, Li Luo had no choice but to use his trump card and whispered to Ying Chanxi: "The exam is about to start. If you don't get up now, you will be late."

At this moment, Ying Chanxi was suddenly awakened, his head tilted upwards, and then he subconsciously turned his head to look towards the source of the sound.

With this twist, Li Luo was originally close to her ear, and now their noses suddenly bumped into each other. Ying Chanxi whimpered in pain and immediately covered her nose.

"Hiss..." Li Luo also retracted his head, touched his nose and took a breath of cold air, "Why are you reacting so strongly?"

"Wuwu..." Ying Chanxi was in so much pain that tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She glared at him unhappily, "What are you talking about next to me? It's vacation time and there's no exam."

"Yeah, then why are you so excited?"

"Get out." Ying Chanxi stretched out his bare, warm feet from under the quilt and kicked him directly.

"Okay, you were the one who told me to go jogging with you last night, and now you're the one telling me to get lost." Li Luo stood up, patted his butt, and walked out the door. "Then I'll go jogging by myself, and you can go back to sleep."

"Hey, wait!" Ying Chanxi quickly threw back the quilt and got out of bed, grabbing Li Luo, "I didn't say I won't go! Wait for me."

"Then hurry up."

"Okay, I'll change my clothes first."

Ten minutes later, Ying Chanxi, who had changed her clothes and washed up, came in front of Li Luo in a pretty manner.

After the two people came down from the third floor, they simply warmed up in the yard, then said hello to Grandpa Ying next to them and started jogging along the street.

After all, Ying Chanxi did not have the habit of jogging in the morning and at night like Yan Zhusheng. After running for a few minutes, he could no longer keep up with Li Luo's pace.

So Li Luo had to slow down his pace, until more than ten minutes later, he completely followed Ying Chanxi in walking at a fast pace.

"Why... do I feel... that... you... are not... tired... at all?" Ying Chanxi followed Li Luo quickly. Even though it was winter, he could already see a hint of sweat on his forehead.

Li Luo, who was standing nearby, usually ran much more intensely in the morning, so he was always slightly out of breath and it was impossible to tell how tired he was.

"This is the result of not exercising regularly." Li Luo laughed, "It's just like studying. If you don't make progress, you will regress. I exercise seriously every day."

"With Zhusheng?" Ying Chanxi asked with narrowed eyes, "Do you two go jogging together in the morning every day? It was the morning before yesterday." Not only morning jogging, but they also went jogging together at night every day when they were in school... Li Luo muttered to himself.

Seeing that Li Luo did not refute, Ying Chanxi knew that this guy had acquiesced, and he could not help but snorted: "No wonder in novels, it is often written that the protagonist and Mo Qinghan make an appointment to go jogging together in the morning."

"Novels are purely fictional, please do not relate them to reality." Li Luo said seriously, "Well, I also wrote about kissing the three of you in the book. Could it be that I have kissed all of you? How about you kiss me now?"

"You!" Ying Chanxi blushed a little after hearing what he said, and her heart was pounding. She didn't know if it was because she was tired from running or for some other reason.

She subconsciously glanced at Li Luo's lips, then hurriedly looked away, and cursed: "Pervert! Shameless!"

After making a big circle in the village, the two men returned to the gate of the yard of 8th row and 8th household.

However, Li Luo still remembered his mother's instructions, and ran to the grocery store of his third uncle across the street, took a bag of salt and MSG, as well as two bags of rice wine, and also picked up some snacks.

When I came to the cashier to pay, my third uncle, who was reading a newspaper on a recliner, laughed and scolded me and drove me out.

In fact, when people from the Li family come to the grocery store to buy things, they basically don’t have to pay. Only when other people come into the store to buy will Third Grandpa charge the normal fee.

The main reason was that my third uncle had nothing to do most of the time. In his early years, he was even a little depressed and felt that life was a bit meaningless.

His family then found him something to do, and whether the grocery store itself made money became secondary.

Every day, guests and relatives come to his house and take things back from him. Third Uncle feels that he is still needed by many people. He gradually becomes more energetic and no longer has a gloomy face as before.

It’s just like Li Luo’s second grandmother next door. It’s a similar situation, but she doesn’t like to stay in the store motionless. Instead, she likes to tidy up things and clean.

Now he even goes to the department responsible for street sanitation management, actively joins the ranks of sanitation workers, and directly contracts the sanitation of the longest street next to the village.

Early in the morning every day, I ride the tricycle provided by the sanitation department and go out to sweep the streets.

When I feel tired, I go to the intersection and find sisters from another street, sit on the curb, drink water and chat. It is much more enjoyable than staying at home.

Li Luo also thought of these elderly people, so he did not resolutely ask his parents to give up the breakfast shop.

He planned to proceed step by step and first ask his father to use his connections to see if he could buy a few shops on Qianjiang University West Street.

If it succeeds in the end, we can slowly let parents change from doing everything themselves to being the boss behind the scenes.

When the time comes, you can collect rent, or open a store according to your own preferences and hire employees to work there. You will be mainly responsible for some mental and simple physical activities.

There is something to do, but it’s not as tiring as working in a breakfast shop.

These are Li Luo’s plans and arrangements for the future.

After leaving the grocery store, Li Luo stuffed salt, MSG and other things into Ying Chanxi's hands and asked her to deliver them to her mother, while he himself held the snacks in his arms.

The two of them walked up to the living room on the second floor, where some people who had gotten up early were already sitting around the dining table eating breakfast.

Ying Chanxi walked to the side and asked Lin Xiuhong obediently, "Auntie Lin, can I put these in the kitchen?"

"Oh, yes." Lin Xiuhong nodded, "There is porridge in the kitchen. Go get a bowl and eat it to fill your stomach."

"Okay."

Seeing Ying Chanxi obediently walk into the kitchen to put things away, Lin Xiuhong glanced at Li Luo who was putting snacks on the coffee table, and immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "Look at you, how can you let Xixi take things?"

"You are the only one with eyes wide open. All you have eyes for is snacks, right?"

"Hurry up and go to the kitchen to get a bowl of porridge and have breakfast."

"It's okay, Aunt Lin." At this time, Ying Chanxi's voice came from the kitchen.

Soon afterwards, she came out with two bowls of porridge, "I've served it to you, come and have some porridge."

"Oh, here I am." Li Luo came to the dining table as soon as he put down the snacks and sat down with Ying Chanxi.

Then Lin Xiuhong would inevitably nag him again.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Xiuhong found couplets, blessing characters, and a lot of window decorations from the New Year goods she brought back yesterday.

"Li Luo, come over here to put up the Spring Festival couplets."

"Here it comes." After Li Luo sipped the last mouthful of porridge, he stood up and started working with Lin Xiuhong.

My aunt, sister-in-law, and Li Xuexian, who got up early, also came over to help.

Ying Chanxi also hurried over and watched Li Luo paste the couplets next to him, occasionally handing him glue or helping him hold the stool or something.

In addition to Grandpa Li Luo's house, the house next door to Ying Chanxi, as well as his uncle's and aunt's houses on the other side, all have to post Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu".

I was so busy that the morning passed by so quickly.

When it was almost ten o'clock, a voice that Li Luo was very familiar with came from downstairs. A tall figure walked in from outside and said to Li Luo: "Li Luo, there is a express delivery for you. I brought it up for you."

Li Luo looked towards the door and found his cousin Chen Lu and his second aunt Li Xuefeng.

It looks like he has just arrived.

Li Luo looked at the package handed over by Chen Lu with a puzzled look on his face, muttering: "Strange, I don't think I have ever bought anything online?"

"What is it?" Ying Chanxi came over curiously, "Didn't you buy anything? You'll know after you open it and take a look."

"That's right." Li Luo thought so, while unpacking the express package, and suddenly thought, "I remember, it's probably..."

Halfway through his words, Li Luo took out two boxes of men's underwear from the express package.

This moment.

Both Li Luo and Ying Chanxi beside him fell silent instantly.
