Pooh!you bad guy

Li Tang hurriedly bent down and embraced the old man by the shoulders, leading her into the house, and began to tell the white lie he had woven with all his brains:

"Oh, it's such a nanny, I went to the roller skating hall with my friends yesterday, and I bumped into someone accidentally. Hahaha, you don't know how funny it is, seven or eight people crashed into a ball, all of them Hurt like a pig's head!"

Grandma Li has been smart and strong all her life. She took out her reading glasses from her pocket and put them on. She asked Li Tang to sit down, squinted her eyes and looked at him carefully, and finally said angrily: "Nah, you have learned to deceive people. This wound is obvious. It’s not a collision! Tell me, Mammy must listen to the truth.”

Li Tang was still in the final struggle, he opened the shopping bag he brought back with a fuss, and took out all the things inside: "Nurse, take a quick look, isn't this almond biscuit delicious? There is this cherry, which is imported. I tried a few and it was great..."

There is a strong and long-lasting fragrance from the kitchen, as well as the sound of gurgling. It is the old fire soup carefully cooked by the old man. The attractive aroma permeates the small room, and the corner of the living room is smoked. All the bodhisattvas seem to be contaminated with a bit of secular atmosphere.

"Wow, wow, what is Mammy cooking? It smells so good!" Seeing that the page was about to be unreadable, Li Tang quickly rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and ran to the kitchen as if he was hungry.

Grandma Li gathered her silver and white hair in a neat bun, adjusted her presbyopic glasses, and shouted majestically, "Tangtang!"

As if pressing the pause button, Li Tang immediately stopped walking away, turned around stiffly, with a bitter face, but heaved a sigh of relief in his heart: Very good, everything is still under control.

First of all, show weakness and apologize.Li Tang squatted in front of grandma, and said sincerely: "Okay, mama, you are amazing! It is true that my injuries were not all caused by bumps. After everyone fell down yesterday, those people insisted that I bumped them on purpose. Oh, I How could it be possible to bump into them on purpose? So, in the end, they quarreled, and... even started..."

Then be sure to bow your head and express your remorse.Li Tang bowed his head in repentance, and didn't say anything more.This has been the case since childhood, as long as he quickly admits his mistakes and reflects on himself, the old man will not be willing to blame him again.

Sure enough, "Oh~ It's alright, alright, get up, my dear grandson, sit down and let the nanny take a good look at it. I taught you in the morning, remember to let others three points when you go out, don't fight for a moment! A man's bones have to be hard, but You have to learn to give in and be patient...Does it hurt? Oh, they are really, they have such a hard hand... My grandson..." Grandma Li didn't expect her filial and obedient grandson to lie to her, so she believed it immediately , turning his mind to his wound.

—Sorry, I really can't tell you the truth.If you find out that I suffered a loss this time and that I have something to do with the Zhang family brothers, then the world will be turned upside down again.

Originally, I didn't want to go home this weekend and wanted to hide in the rented house to recuperate.But thinking about the family business and Zhao Zeheng's threats, and the most important thing is to visit the elderly, Li Tang had to come back to take a look to be at ease.

"It doesn't hurt. I went to the hospital yesterday. The doctor said it was just a flesh wound. Madam, don't worry." Li Tang cheered up and comforted the old man.

Grandma Li hugged her grandson very distressed, and repeatedly persuaded him not to go roller skating again, and not to fight with others if there was a disagreement, because a small loss can be exchanged for a big blessing and so on.In the end, he went into the kitchen to serve him a bowl of winter melon, barley, and duck soup. The hearty lunch was all the old man's specialties. Li Tang couldn't bend down, so he could only go for a walk in the backyard to digest his food when the old man urged him with concern.

The backyard of the Li family's ancestral house is not small, and it is a relatively neat rectangle. In addition to a few vegetable plots cultivated by Grandma Li, there is also a grape shelf. The most eye-catching thing is a circle of begonias planted next to the wall. ——About half a meter high, densely packed, dark green and plump leaves, and bright red and moist petals are hidden among them. Although soft and lovely, it also has sharp thorns that cannot be ignored.

"After you were born, your mother and I thought of a lot of names for you, but unfortunately we were not satisfied. In the end, you didn't have a name after a hundred days! The mother was in a hurry. Later, I saw that all the crabapple flowers in the backyard were in bloom. You are very beautiful, so I named you Li Tang, and your mother agreed..."

Wandering casually in the backyard, Li Tang guided the grape vines to climb the trellis, admired the crowd of crabapple flowers for a while, and finally picked a handful of cabbage heart with great interest, only then did he feel that his stomach was not so uncomfortable.Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the house, someone outside the carved and hollowed-out blue brick courtyard wall suddenly called him:

"Hey, Brother Li, you're back."

Li Tang turned around and saw that Wang Yu was greeting him with a smile on the outside of the courtyard wall—the waiter in his tea restaurant and the neighbor who lived behind. Find Li Tang and stuff her daughter into his family's tea restaurant to work.

"Well, Xiao Yu, do you want to go out to play?" Li Tang, who is on vacation at the tea restaurant, knew it well, so he knew that Wang Yu was off this weekend.

Wang Yu stood on her tiptoes, barely able to expose her shoulders to chat with Li Tang, "Yeah, I'm going to go shopping and go to karaoke, Brother Li, do you want to go?"

Facing the generous invitation from the delicate and cute girl, Li Tang smiled apologetically and declined: "Have fun, I won't go, I still have things to do."

"Yeah...forget it, I know you're going to accompany Mammy, so I won't bother you, let's go first." Wang Yu bit her lips in disappointment, then smiled cheerfully and waved away.

Grandma Li secretly hid in the back door and listened to everything. After watching her grandson walk in, she quickly followed up and nagged him: "Xiaoyu invited you, why didn't you go? What a beautiful girl, you don't know how to grasp it, really... Xiaoyu's parents are old neighbors, what a girl..."

Li Tang put Cai Xin back in the kitchen, and replied sullenly: "Okay, okay, Mommy, I told you that I don't like girls, and it doesn't matter to me no matter how beautiful Xiao Yu is."

"Uh, well, men and women are equal, right? You can't engage in gender discrimination now, dear grandson. Since you think it's good to have boys, then there must also be girls. Which one do you like? You don't even know Against..." Grandma Li mumbled to herself.

——Speaking of which, Grandma Li is too open-minded. When Li Tang was overwhelmed by the introductions of many teachers, grandmothers and neighbors, she came out to the old man. At first, she thought that she must be doomed and that she must be a sinner in this life. Unexpectedly, Grandma Li could accept this fact after being stunned for a whole night, but she would persuade her grandson to get in touch with the beautiful little girl from time to time, hoping that he would find the beauty and kindness of the girl.

"I don't discriminate against sex..." Li Tang retorted weakly, fainted by the old man's logic, "Okay, mother, you should go to take a nap. I'll go to the tea restaurant and wait for me to cook together when I come back!" After speaking, he quickly washed his hands, put his wallet and mobile phone keys and went out.

"No. [-] Tea Restaurant on Seventh Street" was well-decorated by Li Tang. It used to be a breakfast stall run by Grandma Li for many years, and she has many regular customers in the neighborhood.Although the five-story building where the shop is located belongs to the Li family's real estate, it took a lot of hard work to upgrade all aspects. Li Tang is very fortunate that he finally stabilized without any danger.

"Xiao Tang, you are here." During the years when Li Tang went to college and started working, the tea restaurant has been handed over to Zhou Faxin, who is in his 40s. His mother helped Grandma Li take care of the breakfast stall in the early years, and He is an acquaintance who knows everything, otherwise I wouldn't trust him.

"Uncle Xin, how are you going these few days?" Li Tang liked Zhou Faxin's point: his face was injured, and when he came back and met so many people, some would ask him directly, and most of them would just stare at the little girl even if they didn't ask. Look, there was a strong hint of probing, but Zhou Faxin pretended nothing of the matter, and his expression was normal, because he knew that Li Tang didn't like others to intervene in his private affairs.

Entering the small office and sitting down, Zhou Faxin started to make tea, and replied with a good-natured smile: "This period of time has been going well. Last week, several people came to order confinement meals. Xiaotang is still the best. Uncle has always I thought those people in the Maternity and Children’s Hospital would go to the confinement center to order food.” The young man is only in his early twenties, but he has always been hardworking, sensible and flexible, perhaps because of his special family background.

Li Tang snatched the teapot and poured tea, smelling the aroma of Longjing and slowly replied: "Uncle Xin has won the prize. Big restaurants make a lot of money, but they don't always use good ingredients; it's just confinement meals, and our tea restaurant can also make it. Wumart The price is cheaper, as long as it is clean and hygienic, and the nutrition is balanced, and we are so close to women and children, there will always be people interested in it.”

"Hahaha, you are right! Sigh, I have also delivered meals to mothers and children a few times. Some mothers have no one to take care of them after giving birth, or the mother-in-law will send a pot of bone porridge to drink for a day, which makes people teary Oh..." Zhou Faxin sighed sympathetically and shook his head.

When Li Tang developed confinement meals and did preliminary investigations, he was very diligent in visiting maternity and children's homes. He saw more similar scenes and was very moved.After the two talked a few words about the recent business, Li Tang revealed his worries:

"Uncle Xin, if you hear the news that our area is going to be demolished in a while, remember to notify me as soon as possible."

"What? Didn't we say that we are outside the red line of the planning and will not be affected? Could it be that the scope has expanded?" Zhou Faxin became nervous, because he had been frightened a while ago. He has always been handy in the tea restaurant, and Li Tang trusts him enough. This job is very important for a middle-aged man with no academic qualifications.

Li Tang hurriedly reassured him: "I haven't received any definite news, I just want to remind Uncle Xin that our Pingxi District is slowly developing, and our old city will be planned sooner or later. With enough Only by being mentally prepared can we deal with everything that may happen in the future.”

Rubbing the teacup silently, Zhou Faxin sighed and nodded heavily.

After coming out of the tea restaurant, Li Tang stretched his waist, ready to go back to accompany the old man to have dinner with Le Rongrong and make her happy, but when he just turned from the street into the entrance of the alley, the road was blocked by people .

Zhao Zeheng was wearing a suit on his arm, his shirt was unbuttoned a few times, and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. He was standing in the middle of a narrow alley, smoking a cigarette and looking at Li Tang coldly, with an unfriendly look——
