Chapter 112 Love
On Sunday, Lee Seung-ri woke up to the hustle and bustle of the street outside. After waking up, Lee Seung-ri wondered whether he should clean up the house because it was too poorly soundproof.
After getting up, Li Shengli heated up breakfast, and turned off the fire when it was almost done. The rice was still hot, so Li Shengli took this opportunity to go out for some exercise, and when he came back the rice was just cold enough.
After dinner, Li Shengli was about to go out when Lou Xiaoe came to his door.
"Li Shengli, are you going out?"
"Yes, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. I'm going out to pick some reed leaves to make rice dumplings." Li Shengli was packing the things he was going to take with him.
"I came to you to discuss this matter." Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up and suggested, "How about you pick more and help my family make some when the time comes."
Lou Xiao'e thought that there was a chef right next to her, so she didn't have to go to a big restaurant to buy it.
"Okay, take a look at what filling you want to eat, and then just give it to me when the time comes." Li Shengli did not refuse. This thing is still a package whether you wrap one or two.
"It's settled then. You can bring back more reed leaves when the time comes." Lou Xiao'e was delighted when she saw Li Shengli agreed.
"Okay, then I'll leave first. You can just soak the glutinous rice and other things in the afternoon." Li Shengli packed his backpack and put it on his back.
"By the way, what kind of filling do you want? If you want sweet, prepare some candied dates or bean paste. If you want salty, prepare meat or salted duck eggs." Li Shengli thought for a while and asked.
"You know what kind of filling to prepare for zongzi, right?" Li Shengli remembered that Lou Xiao'e was a young lady and might not know what to put in zongzi.
"I, I know." Lou Xiao'e stuttered a little. She really didn't know. Usually, she bought food that was not cooked. I didn't understand why she thought that the chef in the yard would have packed it for her and she could just eat it hot when the time came.
"Okay, then I'll go first." Li Shengli looked at Lou Xiaoe suspiciously, but Han Qiuyun was already waiting at this moment, and Li Shengli didn't plan to waste time waiting in the courtyard.
Li Shengli rode his bicycle out and soon arrived at Han Qiuyun's house.
"Qiuyun, let's go." When Han Qiuyun came out of the house, Li Shengli motioned for her to get on his bicycle.
Li Shengli drove Han Qiuyun to a water place in the suburbs. The two of them played and picked reed leaves of suitable sizes from the reeds.
This thing is not difficult to pick. It didn't take long for the two of them to pick a lot of it. Li Shengli put the picked reed leaves into his bag.
"Qiuyun, we have been together for such a long time, what do you think of me?" The two of them sat under the shade of a tree, leaning against it and resting quietly. Li Shengli straightened his tone and said to Han Qiuyun.
"You're a very nice person." Han Qiuyun said a little nervously. She had a premonition and her heart was beating nervously.
"Qiuyun, let's officially start dating." Li Shengli turned over and faced Han Qiuyun, reaching out and holding Han Qiuyun's hand.
"Okay." Han Qiuyun blushed and finally heard these words from Li Shengli's mouth again.
"I'm waiting to send someone to your house to propose marriage." Li Shengli said with a grin.
"There's no need to propose marriage so early." Han Qiuyun was a little anxious now.
"Why?" Li Shengli was a little puzzled. They both fell in love with each other, so isn't it normal to get married?
"I have to wait for Qiuyu to graduate." Han Qiuyun said quietly.
"Oh, that's no problem." Li Shengli smiled. He was scared by Han Qiuyun.
The two smiled sweetly at each other, held hands and began to walk along the stream.
It was almost noon and both of them were a little hungry, so Li Shengli rode his bike and took Han Qiuyun back to the city.
"Qiuyun, do you want to come to my house for a visit?" Li Shengli was riding his bike and smiling like a fool.
"Not today, grandma and Qiuyu are waiting at home." Han Qiuyun thought about it and gave up the plan to go to Li Shengli's house today. "Okay, then I'll pick you up at your factory when I get off work early." Li Shengli thought about it and agreed. Besides, there are a lot of troubles in his compound, so he didn't want to disgust Han Qiuyun.
"Okay." Han Qiuyun did not refuse this time. After all, the two of them had confirmed their relationship.
Li Shengli slowly followed Han Qiuyun back to Shuijing Hutong.
"Qiuyun, I'm leaving first." Li Shengli said goodbye to Han Qiuyun reluctantly at the door. After Han Qiuyun walked into the courtyard, Li Shengli rode away on his bike.
After saying goodbye to Li Shengli, Han Qiuyun returned home with a red face and a silly smile.
"Grandma, look at my sister." Han Qiuyu smiled secretly and pointed at Han Qiuyun and whispered to his grandmother.
"Qiuyun, are you and Li Shengli getting together?" Old Mrs. Han asked with a smile and a certain tone.
"Yeah." Han Qiuyun nodded with a red face.
"It's good that it's confirmed. Li Shengli is a good kid." Old Mrs. Han looked at Han Qiuyun lovingly.
"Ha, then do I have to call him brother-in-law?" Han Qiuyu teased her sister with a smile.
"Qiuyu." Han Qiuyun patted Han Qiuyu gently.
"By the way, did he say when he would come to our house to propose marriage?" Old Mrs. Han was afraid that Li Shengli was just teasing her granddaughter.
"He said it, but I didn't agree." Han Qiuyun nodded and then shook her head.
"Sister, why don't you agree?" Han Qiuyu was also a little puzzled. The two of them fell in love with each other, so why didn't they get married?
"I told Shengli that we would get married after you graduate." Han Qiuyun glanced at Han Qiuyu and said.
"Thank you for your hard work, Qiuyun." Old Mrs. Han said as she touched Han Qiuyun's head.
"Sister!" Han Qiuyu said nothing with red eyes.
After saying goodbye to Han Qiuyun, Li Shengli rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.
"Hey, Shengli, you picked so many leaves." Yan Bugui was a little surprised when he saw Li Shengli's backpack full of reed leaves.
"Yes, I just went out to pick them." Li Shengli parked his bicycle.
"Oh, if I have any extra ones left, you can take them." As soon as Li Shengli turned around and saw Yan Bugui's eyes, he knew what he meant. It's just some reed leaves, they will dry up if they can't be used.
"Okay, it's settled then." Yan Bugui said with a smile. He got the advantage again.
Li Shengli went home and soaked the reed leaves in water first, otherwise they would dry up in a short time.
In the afternoon, Lou Xiao'e came over with something.
Li Shengli took a look at what Lou Xiao'e was holding. It seemed that Lou Xiao'e also wanted to have something sweet.
"Lou Xiao'e, do you want to make some yourself and send them to your parents later?" Li Shengli gave Lou Xiao'e an idea.
"Sure, how should I wrap it?" Lou Xiao'e became interested. She usually had nothing to do, and if she wrapped it herself and gave it to her parents, wouldn't it be showing off?
"Okay, when you go back home at night, soak the glutinous rice and red beans. I don't have that many basins here, so take them out and drain the water tomorrow morning. I'll come back from get off work in the afternoon to teach you how to make them." Li Shengli calculated the time.
"Okay, I'll go back and soak the ingredients in the evening." Lou Xiao'e nodded and went back with the ingredients.
