The Howards are gone.

Tang Liren arranged for Tan Fenghui to take care of a few Xiaodouzi to sleep, and then the whole family embraced Lili in the middle——

Bai Zhenggan asked nervously, "Pear, what did Howard tell you?"

Lili blushed and said nervously and embarrassedly: "He, he said... He will stay here for half a month... I, I and him are together... If, if it can be done, then, just... …”

Saying that, she took a deep breath—

"Mom and Dad, I, I want to try with him..." Li Li\'s voice became smaller and smaller.

Everyone stared at Li Li with a complicated expression.

Bai Zhenggan, "Daughter, have you figured it out?"

Tang Liren, "Don\'t try! What is there to try as a stepmother!"

Dongsheng, "Sister, if you don\'t like him, let\'s ignore him, we haven\'t done anything wrong, don\'t be afraid of him."

Nan Sheng, "Don\'t be afraid of him, Lizi. If you don\'t want to stay here, just follow me. Join my company and I\'ll arrange temporary workers for you..."

Taotao, "Third sister, this is a lifelong event, you have to think about it clearly!"

Xing Xing, "Sister Lizi, I disagree, disagree, disagree!"

After Tan Fenghui finished taking care of the children, she walked out of the room, and after hearing what everyone said, she asked in surprise, "What\'s wrong?"

The family said angrily--

"Why do you have to deal with Howard?"

"Li Li, are you trying to **** off mom?"

"Third sister, don\'t be nice to him! You can\'t be nice to him!"

"Hey, the more obedient she is at ordinary times, the more stubborn she becomes!"

"Third sister, we have a lot of other solutions, this is the best solution!"

"Li Li, think about it again..."

Tan Fenghui, "Okay, stop talking!"

Then he turned his head and said to Lili, who had his head lowered, "Lili, what are you thinking, please tell everyone one by one, okay?"

Lili raised her head and looked around... She was staring at her family, her eyes dodging a little.

"Don\'t be afraid, tell your sister-in-law!" Tan Fenghui said.

Among the women of the Bai family, Tang Li, Tao Tao and Xing Xing are the masters who are not willing to suffer losses. Tan Feng Hui and Li Li have a much gentler personality, and their sister-in-law and sister-in-law have a deeper relationship.

Lili knew very well that even if the whole family disapproved of her decision, her sister-in-law would approve it in a while.

She gave a soft "um" and whispered, "I, I have a dream..."

The guys were stunned.

No, isn\'t that talking about her and Howard?

Why did she talk about her dream again?

Bai Lili said: "I think... like my father, like my eldest brother, like my second brother, like the future Taotao Songzhi...have a chance to serve the people."

After speaking, her voice became louder, her expression became more determined, and her eyes were still shining.

Everyone was stunned.

Tang Liren, "Then why can\'t you serve the people?"

"But, but I have to deal with Howard first..." After speaking, Lili began to blushed again.

Tang Liren was stunned, "What?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Still talking about Fenghui\'s understanding of Lili, "Does Lili want to say that after she and Howard dated, she will have the opportunity to serve the people, right?"

Li Li nodded quickly.

Bai Zhenggan frowned, "Then you are working in the State Guest House now, aren\'t you also serving the people?"

"How can the poor have the money to eat out!" Lili said disapprovingly, "Besides, the place where I work is still the Municipal Party Guest House, and all the leaders who come to eat here are leaders! That\'s what I call serving leaders!"

Bai Zhenggan frowned, "Then the leader is not the people?"

Pear:  …

"No, I, I... Howard said, I can teach the poor, the disabled, and the people in the family with particularly difficult financial conditions to learn my craft... Then they have a skill, they can support their family, and I can do it in the future. More things to help everyone... Dad, I also want to be a useful person." Lili said.

Everyone was speechless.

They all scolded Howard in their hearts: stinky shameless! In order to pluck the sweet pears from our family, actually...

But Howard didn\'t lie. It\'s true that according to his level, Lili married him and worked in the Disabled Persons\' Federation, Women\'s Federation or Children\'s Protection Association. That\'s no problem.

But it\'s-

Tang Liren, "I don\'t care about anything else. You can serve whoever you like. Bai Lili, I\'m your mother, and I have to be responsible for your happiness in the rest of your life!"

Bai Lili, "Is it because he is married for a second time and has a child?"

Tang Liren, "You..."

Bai Lili said: "He said that he has no relationship with his ex-wife, I believe what he said. He also told me a lot, he said that he was busy with work and might not care about me, his children and his mother... If If my mother is worried about him and his ex-wife, I don\'t think he will have time to take care of this, besides, his ex-wife has already gone abroad to settle down..."

Tang Liren, "Then you can\'t control his child?"

Bai Lili whispered: "I don\'t want Mingyong, Mingyong is very cute."

Tang Liren hated the iron and said: "You are not his stepmother now! Of course he likes you! Just think about Guan Hailong and Fang Ling! When Fang Ling married Mr. Guan, Guan Hailong was just like Huo Mingyong. Big, Mr. Guan is also busy and can\'t stay at home all day long, look at Guan Hailong and Fang Ling who fought for a lifetime... Who is better?"

Bai Lili lowered her head, "Ming Yong is not Guan Hailong, nor am I Fang Ling."

"you!"

Tang Liren was extremely angry.

Tan Fenghui quickly smoothed things out, "Mom! Lili is right, people are different, we don\'t need to compare other people\'s misfortunes to us... Lili, Mom is also concerned about you."

Lili nodded and said softly: "I\'m already mentally prepared... The biggest problem between me and him is getting along. Because he is busy with work, he may not have much time to spend with me. Even because I am young , and his mother is old and the child is young... It seems that I am at a disadvantage. I married him, like going to be a nanny, taking care of the elderly and children for him... Mom, are you worried? this?"

Tang Liren\'s eyes turned red, staring at Lili angrily.

"You still know?"

Li Li smiled, "But his mother is of a higher rank and has assistants and nanny by her side. She doesn\'t need my care, she just needs my company."

"But Mom, I have always liked Grandma Huo, Mingyong and Mingcheng. I feel very happy with them... For me, the only stranger is Howard." Lili said.

Tan Fenghui looked at Tang Liren\'s face and whispered, "Mom, let me tell you something..."

"I know what you\'re worried about. It\'s nothing more than... Howard is too powerful and powerful. Lili married him. If he is wronged in the future, we can\'t do anything about him, right?" Tan Fenghui asked road.

Tang Liren sighed, "Why not? We are really heartbroken for you!"

Tan Fenghui smiled, "But a strong person must be a bad person?"

Everyone was stunned.

Tan Fenghui continued: "We can also think about it from another angle... The pears are too soft, like a faceless person. She used to be in the village, since she was a child, she didn\'t say a word because of who bullied her... Mom, with your fiery temper, half of you are angry with Nan, and the other half is to protect Lili and Taotao, right?"

Nan Sheng shrank his neck, Li Li lowered his head.

Tang Liren sighed, "One is causing trouble for me all day long! The other is a gourd with a sawn mouth! Even if she was bullied to death, she didn\'t dare to say a word... I didn\'t protect her, she was even chewed and swallowed by others. It\'s gone!"

Tan Fenghui said with a smile: "But Howard is a powerful person. We Lili married him, who would dare to bully her in the future?"

Crowd: ...

Makes sense!

Tang Liren stayed for a while before she came back to her senses, "No, what if Howard bullied her too?"

Xing Xing also said, "That\'s right! He is already a high-ranking official. If the third sister doesn\'t love him and wants to leave him, I\'m afraid it\'s easy to get divorced, right?"

Song Zhi hesitated for a moment, "Howard is not unreasonable... At least he still agrees to divorce Zhou Lu. Besides, even if he has a high position, it is not impossible for him to divorce, as long as he agrees, he can leave. "

Bai Zhenggan frowned, "What\'s the matter with you? I haven\'t agreed to this marriage yet, so why did you talk about divorce?"

Lili said softly: "I, I try with him... He promised me that we would be sentenced for half a month. If it is not suitable, he will let me go to the countryside."

"You want to go to the countryside?" Tang Liren asked in surprise, "Why are you going to the countryside? We just came from the countryside... It\'s been a few days since the good days. Are you going to go to the countryside?"

Everyone\'s eyes widened.

Lili said uneasily, "Mom, even if I don\'t marry him, I-I don\'t want to stay here anymore... If you don\'t talk about it, I\'m not doing well myself."

Dongsheng muttered: "We won\'t agree to let you go to the countryside... You are under our noses, and you are being bullied! Let you go to the countryside alone... That\'s okay!"

Li Li\'s mouth flattened, and her tears streamed down, "I\'m going to the countryside! I, when I used to be in the village, I was able to work eight times a day! I won\'t starve myself to death anywhere I go!"

Tang Liren said sharply: "You want to go to the countryside? Unless I die!"

Lili, "I don\'t want to be pointed at by them!"

Tang Liren: ...

Bai Zhenggan sighed, "letting you go to the countryside, why don\'t you marry Howard!"

Tan Fenghui saw her mother-in-law staring at her father-in-law, afraid that they would quarrel, so she quickly said: "Okay, let\'s not talk about this, let\'s not talk about it! What, it\'s getting late, everyone should rest. We will discuss this matter tomorrow, tomorrow!"

Bai Dongsheng also said: "Dad, Mom, let\'s think about this, don\'t panic, there\'s still time!"

At the moment, Song Zhi left with Tao Tao, Song Sui, and Nan Sheng, and Dong Sheng also left with Tan Fenghui.

Because the four little beans slept in the next room, Xing Xing and Li Li slept in the same room.

The two sisters huddled together in a blanket.

Xing Xing remembered the dream she used to have.

In fact, because the fate of the family has undergone tremendous changes, Xing Xing has gradually forgotten the world in her dream.

But Xing Xing is still a little impressed by Howard.

He is a political strongman.

——He was divorced in his early years, and he never got married. He had a son, but he heard that his qualifications were mediocre. When he grew up, he became an ordinary worker in a factory, and unfortunately died of a work-related injury.

Howard\'s resolute style made the people of the whole country feel convinced of him.

Xing Xing in the dream died in the millennium. Howard died a year earlier than her. According to the grapevine, he was ill and tortured in his later years. When he died, there was a national sensation. The top leader\'s evaluation of him is: he belongs to the people.

Thinking of this, Xing Xing gasped heavily.

No matter what kind of person Howard is, Xing Xing still hopes that her sister will be happy.

Xing Xing stretched out her fingers and scratched the itchy flesh on her sister\'s waist.

Li Li trembled all over, and scolded: "I\'m going to die!"

"Sister, don\'t you marry him, okay?" Xing Xing begged softly.

Xing Xing knows her third sister too well.

The third sister loves everyone in the family...

——In her dream, the third sister is willing to marry a man who loves to abuse and beat his wife in order to raise money for the second brother. After less than a year of marriage, the third sister was gone.

That\'s a...

An unbearable grief for the whole family.

Fortunately it doesn\'t happen now.

But Xing Xing is also determined from this, the third sister insists on dating Howard, and also said that if she can\'t get along with Howard, she will go to the countryside... In the final analysis, she is still afraid of affecting her family!

This stupid sister...

Xing Xing hugged Li Li\'s waist and begged softly, "Sister! Third sister...my sister Lizi! Good sister, please don\'t go to the countryside, okay? Don\'t marry Howard, okay? You promise me, promise. I..."

Li Li was silent.

After a long while, she said softly, "You...do you really hate him so much?"

Xing Xing said with a cry: "I\'m afraid he doesn\'t love you!"

Pear:  …

Xing Xing choked: "Because he belongs to the people."

Pear: ? ? ?

Xing Xing, "So, he\'s so busy, and he doesn\'t have time to be nice to you... Why does he marry you? It\'s enough for him to have a job. He doesn\'t need a daughter-in-law!"

Lili, "Bullshit, people who eat whole grains will have seven emotions and six desires, and want to start a family..."

"Then you can\'t marry him anymore!" Xing Xing said, "...Sister, you have to listen to me! It\'s okay if you don\'t love him, but if you fall in love with him, he will be busy working outside...you It\'s twenty-five this year, how much youth do you have left? Are you still waiting for him to go home? Sister, you should find an ordinary person, just like our eldest brother and sister-in-law, or fourth sister and fourth brother-in-law. ?"

"Let\'s live an ordinary life, two people sticking together, giving birth to one or two little babies... When I go to work, I work hard. After work, he buys food and you cook, and he washes the dishes and you take care of the children... This kind of life Isn\'t it bad? Why do you have to marry someone who won\'t go home? The most frustrating thing is that you can\'t blame him if he doesn\'t go home, he is busy with work after all!"

Li Li was silent for a long time.

Xing Xing also said a lot...

Later, the drowsiness gradually deepened, and I fell asleep in a daze.

Lili was lying on the pillow, tears in her eyes.

——The things that Xing Xing said just now... It\'s really the life of an immortal!

Who doesn\'t want to?

But according to her current situation, do you want to find an ordinary man who doesn\'t despise her old age or that she was "done by a strong woman"?

That was really hard.

Now that her reputation has been damaged, if she doesn\'t leave here, the gossip about pickling will not die down. It is impossible for her to find Mr. Ruyi, and she will also implicate her family!

But--

Xing Xing\'s arm was still around her waist.

Lili carefully placed her sister\'s hand, turned over gently, and looked at her little sister\'s childish and cute sleeping face.

There were still tears on Xing Xing\'s face, and she murmured: "Sister Lizi... don\'t marry him... Howard hates ghosts... Stay away from my sister!"

Lili\'s heart is full and soft.

Everyone in the family loves her!

So, she has to protect them too.

Li Li lightly wiped away the cold tears on her sister\'s face, carefully covered the quilt for her, trimmed her hair, and closed her eyes to sleep.

She couldn\'t sleep at all.

After tossing and turning, she finally opened her eyes and stared blankly at the blurred ceiling in the dark, thinking to herself: Xing Xing\'s worries are not unreasonable, then I have to always remind myself that I can\'t love him, don\'t love him, and don\'t expect him Love, and don\'t expect his presence and giving, and I won\'t be saddened by his absence. I can have a lot of time to deal with work and develop my hobbies. When I\'m busy too, I don\'t care if he\'s busy or not.

Li Li sighed softly.

The next day is New Year\'s Eve.

Early in the morning, Tang Liren went out to buy food.

Then, Tang Liren, with her hands full, met Tao Tao and Song Zhi, Dong Sheng and Tan Fenghui in the corridor of Tongzilou...

Everyone was carrying all kinds of things in their hands.

Come home and check-

Well, the three parties bought chicken, duck, fish, hoof, pork belly... and the repetition rate reached 300%!

The family couldn\'t help laughing when they saw the various meat dishes piled up on most of the balcony.

Tang Liren was also very helpless, "Come on! It\'s not a family, don\'t enter a family!"

Lili was already busy.

Take out today\'s New Year\'s Eve dinner and move it to the kitchen. The others asked the second brother to set up a rack on the balcony to dry the meat and vegetables - it\'s the middle of winter now, although it hasn\'t snowed, but the temperature has dropped to below zero, and the meat and vegetables won\'t go bad after a few days.

The family is busy.

At this time, I do not know who came, knock knock knock knock knock on the door?

Red Bean ran to open the door——

It was Howard who arrived.

"Uncle and aunt, my mother asked me to come and see if I can help." Howard said to Bai Zhenggan and Tang Liren.

Bai Zhengqian and Tang Liren looked at each other.

Tang Liren, "Don\'t you care about your own house?"

Howard smiled and said, "It\'s not necessary. They have lunch at the State Guest House. I\'ll go back and have dinner with them."

Bai Zhenggan said, "We don\'t have much work to do here, so go back quickly!"

He was also a little unhappy.

Lili is his doted daughter who grew up with her, and her personality is indeed gentle and shy, but even if she is stubborn, nine cows can\'t pull it back. Yesterday, Lili had already vaguely revealed that he wanted to date Howard... When he thought that the sweet pears he had raised so hard were probably going to be picked by this man, Bai Zhenggan felt angry and didn\'t want to at all. Give Howard a little bit of a good look!

Just at this moment, Lili came out of the kitchen and saw Howard.

Look at the bad looks of both parents?

Lili, "Hey, come here!"

Howard immediately turned his head and glanced at Lili, smiled and said to Bai Zhenggan and Tang Liren, "Uncle, auntie, I will help Lili in the past."

In fact, Howard does not do housework.

Lili gave him a basket of rapeseeds and let him pick vegetables. He was at a loss with the basket of rapeseed. Fortunately, I saw Song Zhi wearing an apron and moving a small bench to sit in the toilet killing chickens and fish...

Howard asked Song zhi for leave humbly in the past, "Brother-in-law, how did you pick this dish?"

Song Zhi glanced at him, "Who is your brother-in-law! My daughter-in-law doesn\'t recognize you, don\'t be casual, and I\'m not a casual person." As he spoke, he raised his sword and slaughtered it. Okay, the plucked chicken is chopped into decent sized pieces.

Howard, "I didn\'t know you worked so neatly before."

Song zhi, "I didn\'t know that before! I was at Taotao\'s house when I cut the line, watching how her parents and her mother did it, and slowly I learned... She doesn\'t dare to kill chickens, so I\'ll do it! After all If I work a little more, my daughter-in-law can work a little less!"

Howard asked again, "Does she work for you too?"

Song Zhi didn\'t have time to answer—

"Song Zhi!"

Taotao ran out of the kitchen with chopsticks in her hand and a meatball poked on the chopsticks. She handed the meatballs to Song zhi\'s mouth, "Try it now, do you have enough salt?"

Song Zhi ate, "Enough!"

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat!"

Tao Tao walked away satisfied.

Howard, "Fourth brother-in-law, how do you pick this dish..."

As a result, Tao Tao ran over again, this time with a series of three meatballs poked on the chopsticks!

"Song Zhi, then try these three meatballs again and see what the difference is!" Tao Tao said.

Song Zhi laughed for a while, and obediently accepted Tao Tao\'s feeding.

Tang Liren was scolding over there, "White peaches! What about the first pot of meatballs that my mother steamed? Why are there only three left?!"

Tao Tao Duzui said, "Let me try the taste! I bought so much pork at home today, so I want to make more meatballs! Mom, how about we make some seaweed meatballs..." As she spoke, she went to the kitchen next door .

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door outside.

Bai Dongsheng, who happened to be standing by the door, opened the door.

The person who came was Yuan Chunmei?

Bai Dongsheng glared at her and said unceremoniously, "What are you doing here?"

But in just a few days, Yuan Chunmei lost weight again, she said to Dongsheng with tears in her eyes: "Big Brother Lili, I, I want to see Lili, please let her come out, okay? I, I just say A word."

"Not good!" Bai Dongsheng said, "What are you doing to my sister, you have no idea? Now you come to ask for scolding? Hurry up, hurry up, no one in our family welcomes you!"

Saying that, Bai Dongsheng wanted to close the door.

Yuan Chunmei held the door and begged bitterly, "Brother Lili, please, please let me see Lili... I\'m here to apologize to her, really, I\'ll just say one sentence, and I\'ll just say a word when I\'m done. go!"

Li Li had already heard Yuan Chunmei\'s voice, and poked her head out of the kitchen, "What?"

Yuan Chunmei was overjoyed, "Pear! Pear!"

Lili came out.

Yuan Chunmei poked her head out of the door and came in, "Li Li, I have something to tell you..."

"Then tell me," Li Li stared at Yuan Chunmei and said coldly, "However, you\'d better hurry up, I\'m still busy!"

At this time, the rest of the Bai family also heard the movement, and they all poked their heads out of their own territory. When they saw it, they saw that it was Yuan Chunmei?

Everyone glared at her.

Yuan Chunmei bit her lip, "Li Li, can you come out?"

"can not!"

Yuan Chunmei blushed, "I-I\'m here alone! And we\'re not going out, we\'re just at the door..."

"If you have something to talk about, just leave if you don\'t want to." Li Li said lightly.

Bai Dongsheng wanted to close the door again.

Yuan Chunmei was heartbroken and said to Lili: "Lili, I\'m sorry! I\'m really sorry... I let down your friendship, I, I want to say sorry to you... Please accept my apology."

Lili took a deep breath, "I don\'t accept it."

Yuan Chunmei\'s eyes widened.

Lili, "I won\'t forgive you either, let\'s go!"

Bai Dongsheng wanted to close the door again.

Yuan Chunmei desperately resisted the door, "Li Li! I know I\'m sorry for you! But I... also came out of good intentions! We used to be very close, how did you... suddenly become like this?"

Lili turned around and walked towards the kitchen, and said to Dongsheng again, "Brother, I\'m busy."

"White pear pear!"

Yuan Chunmei shouted: "We already knew we were wrong! Can you let us go?"

Lili was a little surprised, "Me? Let go of you?!"

Yuan Chunmei sobbed: "Meng Guoqiang, his sister and his sister-in-law were dizzy, so they thought of using those rude methods... talking bad about you outside, and throwing eggs at your sister-in-law, your sister and the others, Putting broken shoes at your door... But they are also too worried about Meng Guoqiang..."

Lili clenched her fists.

Yuan Chunmei continued to plead hard, "...As a result, they were taken away by the police early this morning! Lili, today is 30 years old! Even if you hate them, you should talk about it after fifteen years? Has anyone arrested someone for the New Year’s Eve? Lili, we know we were wrong, please do your best, let them go, they will never come to trouble you again, okay?”

Li Li, "I don\'t know what you\'re talking about. The police arrested them, so you should go to the police and ask them what they did... I\'m an ordinary worker, and I don\'t run the police station. What power can the police release people?"

Saying that, she turned around and walked towards the kitchen, and glanced at Howard - at this moment, he and Song zhi were crowding at the door of the toilet!

Meng Guoqiang\'s family was arrested by the police?

It should be Howard\'s handwriting!

After all, he was there last night when she was poked in the spine by those long women.

I saw Howard smiling and talking to Song Zhi, as if he didn\'t know that Yuan Chunmei was coming home.

Seeing Lili ignoring her, Yuan Chunmei was a little flustered, so she shouted, "Bai Lili! Are you so cruel?"

Dong Sheng had an idea and shouted behind Yuan Chunmei, "Aunt Meng, are you here?"

Yuan Chunmei was forced to come here today by her mother-in-law.

Hearing Dongsheng shouting "Aunt Meng\'s", she was taken aback and looked back——

Where is anyone? !

As a result, the door of Bai\'s house slammed shut.

Yuan Chunmei stayed for a while, then squatted on the ground to cover her face and cried bitterly.

The Bai family didn\'t care about Yuan Chunmei at all.

——Because her path is also her own choice.

However, by shutting Yuan Chunmei out, the world suddenly became quiet.

Everyone continues to take their place.

Song Zhi asked Howard, "...what did you do?"

Howard didn\'t answer with a smile.

He lowered his head and looked - the basket of rapeseeds that Lili handed to him just now was still intact!

Howard cheekily asked Song zhi again.

Only then did Song Zhi free up his hand to teach Howard how to pick vegetables and wash them.

Xiao Hongdou kindly sent a small bench to Howard, and Howard thanked him and squeezed together with Song zhi. After Song zhi killed the chicken and then the fish, Howard picked vegetables clumsily.

In just ten or twenty minutes, Taotao ran back and forth at least seven or eight times, either to let Song zhi taste this or that...

Howard looked at that side eagerly.

——Tao Tao has brought a lot of food to Song Zhi, when will Lili bring him something to eat?

Lili: You want to be beautiful!

Of course, Howard couldn\'t wait for Lili to give him something to eat.

Because Lili is being taken care of by Tang Liren... At this moment, the mother and daughter are busy in the kitchen, and Lili can\'t care about Howard at all.

Howard asked Song zhi in a low voice, "Do you think her parents hate me very much?"

Song Zhi, "The girl who has been raised hard by others is so cheap for you, why don\'t you allow others to show you a little face?"

When Howard heard this, his heart moved slightly.

He asked again, "Then how did you marry the fourth sister?" Taotao is more beautiful than Lili, and she must be more favored. According to Song Zhi\'s statement, when he asked to marry Bai Taotao, he probably suffered even more.

Song Zhi thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "At the beginning, they also disagreed, thinking that I would either go back to the southern capital or the capital in the future, and I didn\'t want Taotao to follow me so far... Later, I assured them that I would go back to the capital. Said that he will always be with Tao Tao and never separate."

Howard was lost in thought.

Song Zhi urged him: "The Bai family attaches great importance to friendship... The parents are upright, kind, honest, and they especially love their children and juniors. You want to marry Lili, but your high-ranking officials will only make them jealous. Because they both They are very loving and happy. Their children also grew up in such a family atmosphere. Of course, they hope that their children can meet the right person and live happily. As for money and power... they are never in their consideration. ."

Howard was very moved.

He looked carefully again, and sure enough—

Originally, he always thought that Taotao and Song zhi were very tired, but in fact Bai Dongsheng and Tan Fenghui were also very affectionate. They must have been married for more than ten years. At this moment, the couple were cleaning the windows at home with a rag and a bucket. Cleaning the cabinets and doing hygiene... They looked at each other and smiled from time to time, and said something softly, and Tan Fenghui also blushed from time to time...

Bai Zhengqian and Tang Liren are also in love.

Tang Liren was busy in the kitchen, and Bai Zhenggan was cleaning the balcony. Every two or three minutes, he would stretch his neck and look at the kitchen window to see what Tang Liren was doing...

Howard also glanced at the kitchen.

There was a longing in his heart, and he was looking forward to Lili calling him...

very angry.

Lili has also been talking softly to her family, but she has never paid attention to him.

Until, Xing Xing and Song Sui wrapped and cooked the dumplings, and called everyone to eat—

The whole family is leading the task.

——Tang Li and Li Li are the main force in the New Year\'s Eve dinner, Tao Tao and Song Zhi fight.

——Bai Dongsheng and Tan Fenghui clean up.

——Bai Zhenggan and Nan Sheng had to arrange the meat drying rack on the balcony, and they had to repair the broken furniture in the house.

——Xing Xing and Song Sui brought Xiaodouzi to make dumplings, and dumplings were used as lunch today.

The three-bedroom house that Bai Zhenggan was assigned to is not big, and there are many family members...

But what surprised Howard was that he didn\'t think the house was so noisy. On the contrary, everyone laughed and feasted, very intimate.

He likes the atmosphere of the Bai family.

The dumplings are stuffed with pork and cabbage. The meat and vegetables are half and half. The meat is delicious, the cabbage is sweet, and the dough is somersaulted... In addition, Tao Tao is a genius. In addition to the traditional dumplings that are eaten dry and vinegar, she also cooks them. There is a pot of green onion and seaweed soup. Dip the dumplings into the soup to make dumplings; fry the freshly cooked dumplings in a pan to make fried dumplings...

Add sesame oil and vinegar to the soup of the dumplings, and it becomes a sour soup dumpling; the fried dumplings are dipped in the sweet and spicy sauce she matched...

Coupled with the large number of people, chatting a few words about this, a few words about that, the mood is happy and light, and the appetite has increased.

After lunch, Tang Liren packed a box full of hot dumplings in a lunch box, wrapped it in a small cotton sleeve, and handed it to Howard, "We don\'t have much to do here, you go back early. Take this box of dumplings back and let you Mom and the kids taste it."

Howard nodded, "Thank you..."

A "mom" word almost blurted out.

"...Thank you auntie." Seeing the stiff expression on Tang Liren\'s face, Howard changed his mouth in shock.

Bai Lili said, "Mom and Dad, I\'ll take him downstairs."

Tang Liren was very unhappy, and said with a stern face, "I still have something to do at home..."

"I\'ll be right back." Lili said.

Tang Liren, "Then you are not allowed to go out of the corridor!"

Lili opened the door and went downstairs with Howard.

At this time, every family was busy with the New Year\'s Eve dinner, and the corridor was quiet and there was no one.

Li Li took Howard out of the corridor. Seeing that there was no one left or right, she said, "Howard, you don\'t have to do this in the future."

Howard didn\'t quite understand for a while, "Which?"

"If you don\'t like cooking, you don\'t have to do this... I know that you have an assistant, and your family should have a nanny to take care of it. You don\'t need to do this," Lili said.

Howard, "But, I\'m very..."

I like it very much.

It\'s just that without you before, I couldn\'t understand the beauty of life rich in fireworks.

Lili continued: "I don\'t like you changing for me, just be yourself! And me, the same... I won\'t change for you, whatever I want is how it is."

Howard was stunned.

Before he could figure it out—

Lili said in a buoyant manner: "It\'s also what you said... In the past two weeks, we will try to get along and say everything openly and honestly. This is what I want to say to you today. Well, you can go back, I am leaving."

After speaking, she turned around in a hurry and ran towards her house.

Howard:  …

He wanted to catch up and ask her what she meant.

But Tang Liren pushed open the window on the third floor, stuck her head out, and was staring at him and Lili downstairs!

Howard didn\'t dare to chase, so he could only watch Lili escape into the package.

He only waved to Tang Liren on the third floor with a dry smile, then hugged the lunch box wrapped in a cotton sleeve in his arms, and left quickly.

However, Howard is not stupid.

He already understood what she meant from Lili\'s words——

If she wants to be with him in the future, won\'t the well water make the river water?

Howard chuckled.

How about that!

However, the pure and docile little white rabbit actually learned to resist?

It\'s so funny, his pears are getting cuter!
