Chapter 269: Remember to prepare sweet potatoes
It is impossible to go down the mountain. Li Yuan has come here with great difficulty, it is impossible for him to leave without even eating.
Besides, he is not a good guy. He trades so many stocks, and there must be at least eighty people who have lost money because of those stocks.
It's like a smile doesn't disappear from one person's face, it just moves to another person's face.
So does money.
Li Yuan came out, found Qin Sheng, and played with him for a while.
Although Qin Sheng is very shy and hardly speaks, he is an adult after all.
If someone wants to pinch his face, can resist?
In fact, he had wanted to pinch his son's face for a long time, but he was too tender and he was afraid that he would not be able to control the strength well and hurt him.
Qin Sheng’s age is the most fun, and of course the most naughty.
If it were any other child, he would turn the house upside down.
He lacks a little bit of cleverness, but he still has all the innocence, he is definitely the ideal child in the world.
Although Li Yuan is also very young, he is rather dirty inside.
Those pure things are naturally attractive to him.
After all, what you can't get is always the best. The more you have, the more you hate it.
Except money.
When Qin Si came out of the kitchen, he was in a trance for a moment.
Ten months have passed since I met Li Yuan in September last year.
Li Yuan's image has been changing in her mind.
At this time, Li Yuan was using interesting ideas to guide Qin Sheng to understand the world.
She couldn't grasp those thoughts.
After all, she stopped studying after graduating from junior high school, and her understanding of the world is no match for Li Yuan.
Li Yuan said casually: You should cherish the things you like, and you can't destroy them just because you are angry...
From a toy, to relatives.
The child may not understand, but Li Yuan has implanted an idea into the child's mind.
A four-year-old child actually understands everything, otherwise he would not be so obedient and run dozens of meters alone to find Li Yuan.
Qin Si couldn't say anything profound, just be obedient, be good, mom loves you...
She can only talk about some abstract things, while Li Yuan can make many things concrete.
Qin Sheng also has a temper, but he is more reserved when facing strangers.
She is more patient and has always been tolerant and indulgent towards some of Qin Sheng's willful behaviors.
At this moment, she had an illusion. How great would it be if Li Yuan was the father of this child?
Being his child is really a blessing.
She just sat there and watched, with her hands resting on her chin, listening attentively to Li Yuan chatting with Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng, who had been silent all this time, gradually fell into Li Yuan's language trap and was eager to speak.
And as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Yuan won.
Qin Si didn't even want to interrupt this scene, but the food was ready.
She really wanted to cook something like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in the pot, the kind that would take three days and three nights to become flavorful.
“It’s time to eat!”
She set the table on the wooden table in the yard and served the food.
Li Yuan took Qin Sheng to sit down. Now Qin Sheng would take the initiative to chat with him.
As the sky darkened and the new moon rose, mottled shadows of the trees fell on the table.
With the refreshing breeze, the child's voice, and the girl's heart, Li Yuan enjoyed the meal very much.
There aren't a lot of dishes, and there aren't any particularly good ingredients.
Qin Si tacitly did not ask Li Yuan when he would be back, and after dinner Li Yuan held Qin Sheng and played games beside him.
Even though Qin Sheng doesn't understand the rules of the game and often cheats.
By the time Qin Si had cleaned up the dishes, it was already past nine o'clock.
We had lunch at about 6:40 and finished at 7:30.
Washing dishes takes longer than expected.
But she put some hot water and brought a wooden barrel.
Qin Si handed a towel to Li Yuan and said, "Last time I let you sleep on the rooftop, this time it's your turn to sleep in the inner room."
"Okay, but do you want to wash it in the yard?"
Qin Si pointed at Qin Sheng and said, "This is for him to wash. Go to the room. There is a bathroom over there."
Qin Sheng likes to swim in the wooden barrel, just like in the swimming pool in the supermarket.
So Qin Si bought a wooden barrel specifically.
"Oh, then when he's done washing, remember to send him to my place. I still want to play with him."
Qin Si immediately said: "It's late, he has to go to bed and play tomorrow."
"But I'm leaving tomorrow, no matter what."
Qin Si was choked for a moment. He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, it seemed as if something was blocking his throat.
Half an hour later, she finished giving Qin Sheng a bath and carried him directly to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan also finished his shower, turned on the air conditioner, and sat on the bed.
Seeing Qin Sheng coming, he immediately took it over and said, "Leave this guy to me, you go and get busy first."
"Yeah, okay, I'll take a bath too."
Li Yuan played the stone picking game with Qin Sheng on the bed. He always performed some magic tricks, and even if Qin Sheng didn't follow the rules at all, he would still win in the end.
Half an hour passed...
An hour passed...
Qin Sheng's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally he fell asleep while playing. Li Yuan did not wait for Qin Si to come back.
He opened the door and came into the yard.
The moonlight poured down, covering the entire yard with silver.
Qin Si sat in the wooden barrel. Every once in a while, he would pick up a ladle, scoop a ladle of water from the bucket next to him, and then pour it over his head.
Her hair stuck tightly to her skin under the impact of the water.
The wooden barrel was not very big, and Qin Si had no view when sitting inside it.
Even with his back to Li Yuan, he could vaguely see a pair of small wings through the gap between his arms.
Li Yuan has heard people say that if you look down, you can't see your feet, and if you look down, you can see your little wings on your back, which are the two most precious things in the world.
"Although I slept in the inner room this time, my treatment didn't change much."
Li Yuan spoke.
The same scene happened last time at Qin Si’s house.
Qin Si turned around, put his arm on the edge of the wooden barrel, and said, "Don't you suspect that I killed Zhang Changgui? How dare you come out so late at night? Your bodyguards have all gone down the mountain."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Bodyguards are just for psychological comfort most of the time. It's better to control your own destiny."
"Can you control it?"
Li Yuan glanced at Qin Si, then gestured with his hands.
"I can't control it."
Qin Si also laughed and said, "I want to keep you to be Xiao Sheng's father."
"It would be fine in ancient times. You could be a female bandit leader and kidnap me."
"Well, I know Xiao Sheng and I are not worthy."
"Hey, hurry up and wash up and go to bed. Xiao Sheng is already asleep at my place. Good night."
Li Yuan turned and went into the inner room.
Soon, the lights in the inner room were turned off.
Qin Si stood up from the wooden barrel and took a step forward.
Walking on the bluestone slabs, a trail of wet footprints was left behind, and the silver color imprinted by the moonlight became even darker.
"I will definitely leave tomorrow."
"Then consider it a gift from me."
"I actually... don't want it that much."
"I don't understand the rules in the city, but according to the rules in our country, when guests are leaving, even if they don't want the gifts from the host, they have to force them into their mouths."
"Hmm? Now it seems like I'm forcing it?"
"Well... then you are the master."
A rustling sound came from the inner room.
In the silent night, it's like Buddha is whispering.
Oh, it’s the Laughing Buddha…
"I have nothing but money."
"I'm worse off than you. I don't even have any money."
…
The next day, the sun was high in the sky.
Li Yuan was forced to sleep until ten o'clock.
The reason is that Qin Si can't wake up, even if Qin Sheng wakes up, she won't wake up.
It can be said that they have completely fought with Li Yuan.
After all, if Li Yuan woke up first, the situation would be different.
But in the end he was defeated by Qin Sheng, and he kept crying because of hunger.
Qin Si had to get up to get him something to eat.
As a result, just after I finished, Li Yuan came out from the inner room and said, "Good morning, I didn't expect to sleep until now. Maybe I was too tired. I fell asleep as soon as I fell down last night. How did you sleep?"
Qin Si knew that Li Yuan would not admit it after he woke up.
"Have some breakfast before you go."
"good."
Li Yuan sat down and Qin Si served him a bowl of porridge.
Halfway through his meal, he looked around and said, "It would be really beautiful if there was a heavy snowfall in the winter here."
"Well, there is one every year, but it's not as frequent here as it is in the north. The snow comes later, around the New Year. "
Li Yuan smiled and said, "It's snowing heavily. Let's build a stove here and roast some sweet potatoes..."
Although it is July, a hot summer month, Qin Si inexplicably begins to look forward to snow.
I hope the snow this year will be more sensible.
Half an hour later, she sent Li Yuan down the mountain.
It wasn't until Li Yuan's car disappeared from her sight that she came to her senses.
Holding Qin Sheng, she felt a little tired.
But compared to the low mood, this is nothing.
Rather than looking forward to heavy snow, she would rather look forward to every sunrise and sunset.
Li Yuan said he had nothing but money.
In fact, at one point she didn't even own her own life.
After all, a gambler like Zhang Changgui will not let her go easily.
For a gambler, even a rotten nail can be used as a bargaining chip, let alone a person...
Li Yuan always thought that she was the one who killed Zhang Changgui, but in fact she had never controlled her own destiny before that.
Otherwise, how could she gamble with Xiaosheng's life?
Later, when she was stopped while being held hostage by Zhang Changgui, she fought against her fate and aroused Zhang Changgui's emotions.
This made Zhang Changgui overwhelmed, collapsed, and resisted talking.
That was her only chance to kill Zhang Changgui. Otherwise, with her fragile strength, she would not be able to resist the mountain of fate.
When they arrived at the courtyard, she let Qin Sheng play by himself.
I wanted to prepare some dishes for lunch.
But I couldn't lift my arms.
She felt weak all over.
What she regretted most was deleting Li Yuan’s phone number, because after being rejected that night, she felt that no one could save her.
She really couldn't hide her little thoughts from Li Yuan.
After all, she learned it all from TV dramas.
The cell phone rang.
She thought it was the filming crew coming up.
I just picked it up and saw that it was a text message.
"Remember to prepare some sweet potatoes. The ones that are especially sweet when roasted are the best."
