Chapter 1342： Are you sure you're not wronging me?

Chapter 1342 Are you sure you are not wronging me?

“I think it’s more accurate to say ‘whoever is willing takes the bait’.”

Luo Yanqing's eyes were fond, and his clear voice revealed an obvious smile. After listening to his words, Jiang Li pinched his nose and widened his beautiful eyes: "Are you Jiang Taigong?"

“What do you think?”

Luo Yanqing did not answer, but asked with a smile.

"What did I say? Mr. Luo, I am a human being, not a fish you caught."

Jiang Li looked arrogant. Looking at her, Luo Yanqing smiled softly and said, "You once said that the reason why you chose to marry me was because of my photo."

Hearing this, Jiang Li's face was filled with crimson color. Not only was the light in the room as bright as a desk lamp, but the light was not very bright. Therefore, Luo Yanqing did not notice anything strange about her.

“Luo Yanqing, you are so bad!”

With his eyes pretending to be fierce, Jiang Li held the man's handsome face and bit his lips with a little force.

Immediately, Luo Yanqing hissed in pain.

With his beautiful eyes half-squinted, Jiang Li asked, "Does it hurt?"

 Luo Yanqing said "hmm" and heard Jiang Li say: "It's okay if it hurts. This is my punishment for you!"

Upon hearing her words, Luo Yanqing couldn't help but straighten up, and then a low laugh broke out in his throat.

“I think your punishment is not enough, how about I punish myself?”

As he spoke, Luo Yanqing kissed Jiang Li's lips.

This kiss is sometimes gentle and affectionate, sometimes like a violent storm.

I don’t know how long time passed. After the kiss, Luo Yanqing pressed her forehead against Jiang Li’s. He hugged her tightly and whispered: “Do you think my self-punishment can relieve your anger?”

Jiang Li adjusted her breathing. She pinched the soft flesh of the man's waist and said word by word: "Are you punishing yourself?"

It’s only right to punish her, you cunning man! "

After hearing her words, Luo Yan cleared his throat and laughed again.

He was in a happy mood and pressed a kiss on her forehead: "As expected of my wife, Bingxue is indeed smart. However, how can I bear to punish you?! I love you!"

His voice was so soft that it was almost a whisper for the last sentence.

Jiang Li felt her heart beat two beats faster. She suppressed her discomfort and said, "You are getting better and better at seducing people!"

“Professor Jiang teaches well.”

 Luo Yanqing raised the corners of his mouth, and there was a hint of teasing in his ink-stained phoenix eyes.

“Are you sure you are not wronging me?”

When has she ever flirted with him? Well, even if she flirted with her, she wouldn’t admit it!

Jiang Li thought secretly.

"Being bold is a virtue. Xiao Li doesn't want to admit that he has flirted with me? And more than once."

Luo Yanqing's eyes were playful: "It's fine if you don't admit it. After all, you and I are husband and wife. As long as I know that I have been teased by you a lot, it's fine. Besides, this is an emotional episode between us as husband and wife."

"I'll treat you with admiration after three days of separation. Mr. Luo is really good at talking and talking!"

Jiang Li made a joke, but Luo Yanqing did not show any embarrassment. Instead, he laughed and said, "I wasn't very good at Chinese when I was studying."

The implication: What are you talking about? I don't understand.

“Just pretend!”

Looking at each other angrily, Jiang Li got down to business: "How are we going to spend New Year's Eve?"

Luo Yanqing: "You decide, I will listen to you."

“Let’s spend time in the big house!”

The big house Jiang Li mentioned refers to the Yu family's old house. However, it now belongs to Jiang Li. Since the whole house has been repaired, a dedicated person has been responsible for daily cleaning and maintenance to prevent it from being abandoned for a long time.

Of course, this so-called specialist was hired by Jiang Li.

For example, gardeners and sweepers.

However, the housekeeper was arranged by Jiang Hongfa from the Jiang family's old house. He had worked for the Jiang family for many years and received special housekeeping training before Jiang Hongfa returned to China for retirement. In Jiang Hongfa's words, the person he arranged for Jiang Li, Your work ability and conduct are impeccable, so you don't have to worry about backstabbing.

"good."

Luo Yanqing has no objection.

The reason why Jiang Li chose to spend New Year's Eve in the big house instead of the Jiang family's old house, or the courtyard house of Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen, was because Jiang Li knew that not counting their family of eight, there were only a single father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, and nephews. , this is quite a number of people,

If she takes her family to the Jiang family's old house to spend New Year's Eve, her parents and others will definitely feel uncomfortable. Likewise, if she lets her cheap grandfather and father follow her to the courtyard where her parents live to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, I would like to come. Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya might not be able to let go.

But everyone is staying at home, so there is no problem in spending New Year's Eve in her own big house.

The reason?

Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya went to their granddaughter’s (daughter)’s house to spend New Year’s Eve. This was normal; Captain Jiang, Cai Xiufen, and Brother Jiang went to their daughter’s (sister, sister-in-law)’s house to spend New Year’s Eve. There was nothing to say either.

At any rate, that’s what Jiang Li thinks.

The big house has a big space and many courtyards, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough room to live there.

Besides, it’s well packed inside, so you can just move in with your bags.

“I feel like a rabbit.”

Jiang Li suddenly said this. Hearing this, Luo Yanqing was puzzled: "Rabbit?"

“The cunning rabbit has three holes.”

Jiang Li curled his lips and said, "There are so many houses, I don't even know where to live!"

“When you say that, why do I feel like I’m ‘eating soft food’ as you once said?”

As soon as Luo Yanqing said these words, he immediately heard Jiang Li's laughter: "I didn't say that Mr. Luo, you are a soft-boiled person? Besides, are you?"

Luo Yanqing pursed her lips and said nothing.

"The house we live in now belongs to you. Besides, your salary, bonus, etc. are all recorded in the bankbook you gave me."

Jiang Li did not expect that Luo Yanqing would bring up the "eating soft rice" that she once mentioned in casual chat. Thinking about it, she found it funny and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Luo, your memory is really good.

I remember that I mentioned a few gossips I heard from Wu Yue in front of you, saying that the male protagonist in the incident Wu Yue told me was a soft-cooked man, and he was a soft-cooked man. Unexpectedly, You actually remembered it until now and still used it on yourself. To be honest, you are so funny! "

Hearing Jiang Li's laughter, Luo Yanqing's eyes were fond of him: "I'm just trying to make you happy."

“Cough cough cough…”

Jiang Li immediately coughed several times and almost choked himself. Seeing her like this, Luo Yanqing hurriedly patted her back: "Are you okay?"

The cough subsided, and Jiang Li shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay."

Then she said: "You are determined!"

The tone is quite meaningful.

“I heard something was wrong with what you said.”

As for what was wrong, Luo Yanqing couldn't tell.

Seeing the man's thoughtful expression, Jiang Li smiled and said, "Okay, don't think about it blindly. What I mean is that you have nothing to say about how good it is. In order to make me happy, you labeled yourself a 'soft ricer'. "

Luo Yanqing: "What's the point?! As long as you're happy, I'm willing to risk my life for you!"

Jiang Li pretended to be serious: "Mr. Luo, please understand that we are living our lives, not performing in an idol TV series, and you are a rigorous scientific researcher, not a domineering president."

Hearing this, Luo Yanqing tightened his arms, buried his head in Jiang Li's neck, and smiled for a while.

“Is what I said so funny?”

Jiang Li’s mouth twitched, feeling so helpless.

…

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Jiang Boya and Jiang Hongfa came to the Yu family's old house, which is also Jiang Li's big house.

Captain Jiang, Cai Xiufen and others came over the previous afternoon.

Since Captain Jiang was still recovering from the operation, Luo Yanqing drove over to pick up his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Another car in the family, Mingrui, was driving back and forth to pick up Brother Jiang and others. Later, Jiang Guoan drove Luo Yanqing's car and helped take the family to Jiang Li's mansion.

“I’ll be cooking the New Year’s Eve dinner tonight.”

In the middle of the afternoon, Jiang Li, Cai Xiufen, Sister-in-law Jiang and several other sisters-in-law, and nieces and nephews were sitting together chatting. When they saw everyone talking about the dishes to be made for the New Year's Eve dinner, they couldn't help but interject.

“Okay, your cooking is comparable to that of a chef in a five-star hotel, so you can cook it. As a sister-in-law, I don’t have any objections.”

This is Mrs. Jiang’s voice.

He Hui, the second sister-in-law Jiang, echoed: "The second sister-in-law has no objection either."

Jiang Sansao: "Third sister-in-law has no objection either."

Sister-in-law Jiang Si: “I dream of eating Li Bao’s cooking.”

Obviously, Sister-in-law Jiang Si has no objection either.

"I have no opinion."

Wang Pan expressed his stance.

“Sister-in-law, I support it with both hands! However, I will help you!”

Lin Dan said with a smile that as she finished her voice, the other nieces and nephews also expressed their opinions one by one. In a word, everyone here agreed with Jiang Li's plan to host tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.

Hearing no words from Cai Xiufen, Jiang Lixiao looked at my mother: "Mom, what do you think?"

“If you want, you can take charge!”

It’s not easy to cook the New Year’s Eve dinner tonight. There are too many people in the family, so my dear daughter doesn’t feel tired. As a mother, she has nothing to say.

“Mom, don’t worry, we sisters-in-law will help Li Bao, and we will go and clean up the ingredients soon.”

As the eldest daughter-in-law, Sister-in-law Jiang didn’t know how much her mother-in-law, Cai Xiufen, cared about her sister-in-law. If her sister-in-law was really responsible for tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner, her mother-in-law would be very distressed. After all, there are many people sitting together to eat New Year’s Eve dinner tonight. First of all, naturally each dish cannot be cooked in just one dish.

Based on this, their sisters-in-law have to help cook a few dishes.

Sister-in-law Jiang San: "Yes, mother, don't worry, we are here as sisters-in-law, so Li Bao won't be burdened."

"It's just a spoon, how can this be so tiring? Third sister-in-law, don't treat me like paper."

Jiang Li said with a smile, and after listening to her words, Jiang Sansao responded: "Third sister-in-law didn't say you were papery, Third sister-in-law just didn't want to burden Li Bao!" The other sisters-in-law nodded repeatedly, and kept mumbling. "That's right", you can know the meaning without thinking too much. They don't want Jiang Li to suffer more.

“Mom, look at my sister-in-law and the others, they still treat me like a child. I would say it’s all because of the nickname ‘Li Bao’!”

Jiang Li deliberately looked at Cai Xiufen with resentment in his eyes. As her voice fell, Sister-in-law Jiang and her sisters-in-law laughed out loud. Even Lin Dan and other nieces and nephews also covered their mouths and laughed.

Chai Xiufen: "Are you blaming me and your father for giving you the nickname?"

“Don’t dare!”

Jiang Li waved her hands repeatedly, and the desire for survival in her eyes was not too obvious. This made everyone laugh in unison, but Jiang Li didn't care. She said, "I just think so. I'm already in my thirties." I’m old, can you please stop calling me Li Bao?”

He Huixiao asked: "Then what do you want us to call you?"

Jiang Li: "Except for the nickname 'Li Bao', you can call me whatever you want."

“Calling you by your first name and surname is too unfamiliar. As the second sister-in-law, I can’t say it out loud. Second sister-in-law doesn’t think it’s appropriate to call you Xiaoli...”

Before He Hui could finish speaking, Jiang Li asked, "Why is it inappropriate?"

“Brother-in-law calls you ‘Xiao Li’. This should be his special name for you. As sisters-in-law, we can’t fight over it.”

He Hui's eyes were playful. Looking at her, Jiang Li blushed: "What are the proper names? Second sister-in-law, don't think too much about it."

"I didn't think much about it. I just felt that I couldn't compete with my brother-in-law. Sister-in-law, you guys are right?"

He Hui said, looking at Sister-in-law Jiang and other sisters-in-law.

“That’s right.”

Sister-in-law Jiang, Third Sister-in-law Jiang and other sisters-in-law all smiled and nodded.

"As for the title 'Li Li', there is no doubt that it represents your grandfather and your father's full love for you. If we use it too, how can we highlight your grandfather's love for you? So, for us, For the Lao Jiang family, nothing can better represent our love for you than calling you 'Li Bao'!"

After hearing what He Hui said, Jiang Li smiled helplessly: "Second sister-in-law, you are really good at talking!"

Cai Xiufen: "Your second brother is right. When your father and I saw you, we were so happy that we gave you the nickname 'Li Bao' without even thinking about it. Your eldest brother and the others all clapped and applauded you. , saying you are the darling of our family!”

Jiang Li blushed: "Mom, my nephew and daughter-in-law are all here. Just save some face for your daughter. I feel so ashamed!"

Hovering his face, Jiang Li pretended to be shy.

Immediately, there was another burst of laughter in the room.

The **** men were all sitting and chatting in the living room. The younger ones, such as Minghan, Jiang Yihang, Jiang Yiyu, Tangyuan, etc., gathered in Minghan's room to laugh or play cards.

The atmosphere in every place is great.

As night falls, the kitchen is in full swing.

In the early days when the family's heirs were prosperous, every banquet was held in the flower hall because the flower hall was large. Nowadays, the flower hall is decorated very festively, with a heater burning inside and a moderate temperature. Sitting in it to have New Year's Eve dinner is undoubtedly spacious and comfortable. Comfortable.

Four large round tables were placed in the center of the flower hall. The cousins ​​headed by Jiang Yiyang went between the kitchen and the flower hall, carrying plates of prepared dishes and placing them on the table.

Among them are steamed pork ribs with glutinous rice, steamed pork with cabbage, steamed eggs with corn tofu, shrimp with garlic vermicelli, stir-fry in lotus pond, steamed red dates with glutinous rice... The other names of these dishes are: Jinyu Mantang, Lucky Fortune, Steaming Rishang, Shrimp Kaifugui, May blessings come to your doorstep and smile always...

There are a total of sixteen dishes, and the four round tables are full of them. Looking around, it is really full of color, flavor and taste, and the dishes are exquisitely arranged, which makes people particularly appetizing.

 Needless to say, Jiang Hongfa, Captain Jiang, Cai Xiufen, and Jiang Boya were seated. Accompanying the four of them at this table were Brother Jiang, five brothers, and Luo Yanqing, his son-in-law.

Jiang Li sat with several sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews, Jiang Yiyang and other older cousins ​​sat at the same table, and the younger third and fourth generations of the Jiang family sat together.

The four round tables were all occupied. Jiang Hongfa, Captain Jiang, Cai Xiufen, and Jiang Boya spoke respectively, and then the lively reunion dinner started.

The Spring Festival Gala was playing on the big color TV. Everyone was eating, drinking, toasting each other, and watching the party program from time to time. When they saw the funny sketches, everyone laughed from ear to ear.

…

The sound of firecrackers accompanied the end of the Spring Festival Gala on TV, and the new year has arrived.

“Is it lively tonight?”

Lying on the bed, Jiang Li snuggled into Luo Yanqing's arms and asked the other person with a smile.

"Um."

Luo Yanqing responded.

“The whole family is gathered together and I feel happy to see the smiles on everyone’s faces.”

As Jiang Li was talking, something suddenly occurred to her. She looked up at Luo Yanqing for a moment, and then she spoke again: "It has been more than ten years since we went to Mawang Brigade. Do you think you should take advantage of the Spring Festival to rest at home? Let’s take a look at Ma Wang’s team?”

Hearing this, Luo Yanqing remained silent for a while.

Jiang Li: "Based on what I know about you, you shouldn't still hate that person now. To be more precise, you shouldn't have hated him at all, but the resentment must be there. However, this resentment should also be there at the beginning. It’s been in your heart for years, but it’s long gone now.”

“…I have no relationship with her for a long time, and I guess she didn’t want to see me, otherwise, she wouldn’t have left so decisively back then.”

The "she" in Luo Yanqing's mouth and the "that person" in Jiang Li's mouth undoubtedly refer to the same person. To put it bluntly, they refer to Wang Guilan, Luo Yanqing's biological mother.

"Well, if you really don't want to visit, just pretend I didn't say what I just said."

When Jiang Li said this, she paused for a moment and continued: "It's not that I want to mention that person, I just thought about this Chinese New Year. It would be better if we could get together."

“Don’t think too much, I understand what you mean.”

Luo Yanqing was silent for a moment and said, "If you want to go out for a walk, we will go out for a walk in the second grade of junior high school."

Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing held hands: "You don't have to force yourself to do things you don't like."

Hearing this, Luo Yanqing pursed his lips. After a moment, he whispered: "No matter what, she gave birth to me. After more than ten years, I should go and see her."

Jiang Li: "It depends on the weather on the second day of the new year. If the weather is good, we can leave early in the morning and come back in the afternoon."

Luo Yanqing said "hmm".

It is a sunny day on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the sun is shining warmly on my body.

As the saying goes, "Dumplings are the best noodles on the first day of the Lunar New Year." This morning, Jiang Li, Sister-in-law Jiang and other sister-in-laws naturally prepared dumplings for breakfast for their family. Of course, last night’s New Year’s Eve dinner also included dumplings, and these dumplings were made by all the lesbians in the family at noon yesterday. They had vegetarian fillings and meat fillings. Needless to say, the dumpling fillings were all flavored by Jiang Li. Son.

The reason?

Jiang Li’s cooking skills are recognized by the family, and the flavor of the dumpling fillings he prepares is beyond praise.

“Sister-in-law, how did you develop your cooking skills?”

After lunch, Jiang Li was surrounded by Lin Dan and several other nieces and nephews, sitting in the yard to bask in the sun. Suddenly, Lin Dan asked this question. Upon hearing this, Jiang Li smiled and said, "I haven't practiced much."

Lin Dan: "You haven't practiced before? Sister-in-law, you must be being modest!"

Jiang Li shook his head: "Maybe it's talent."

When Lin Dan and others heard this, they were all startled, and then they all looked envious. Lin Dan said: "My sister-in-law is really talented!"

"Don't be envious. Whatever you want to eat, just go to my sister-in-law's house and she will cook it for you."

Jiang Li said with a smile on his face: "If you are tired, go back to the house and lie down for a while. If you are celebrating the New Year, if you have anything to do, you should have a good rest."

Lin Dan: “I haven’t done any heavy or tiring work, how can I be tired?!”

After a short pause, Lin Dan added: "I and Yiyang will take the child to my parents soon, so there is no need to rest."

“Sister-in-law, Jiang Yihong and I will also take the children to visit my dad later.”

This is Yan Rou's voice. She currently has three children. The twin girls she gave birth to were not of Jiang Yihong's flesh and blood. However, after graduating from college, she gave birth to a son for Jiang Yihong. The couple and their three children lived an ordinary life. happiness.

“You all go, I will accompany my sister-in-law.”

The speaker was Jiang Yichen's wife. Like Jiang Yichen, she graduated from a command academy and most of her family members served in the army.

“See how happy you are.”

Lin Dan pretended to be jealous, but in a flash she smiled and said: "You have to leave after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so we will give you a little concession and we won't compete with you for my sister-in-law these days."

Jiang Yichen’s wife is named Zhang Ting, and she lives in another province. Last year, Jiang Yichen accompanied his wife to spend the New Year at her husband’s house. During this year’s family leave, Zhang Ting took the initiative to come to her husband’s house, that is, Lao Jiang’s house to celebrate the New Year.

“Then I would like to thank my sister-in-law and my third brother and sister for giving in!”

 Zhang Ting has a cheerful personality. She looked at Lin Dan and Yan Rou with a smile and said to Jiang Li: "Sister-in-law, Jiang Yichen told me a lot of your stories. After listening to them, I admire you very much!"

“What kind of story can I have? Don’t listen to Xiaochen’s nonsense.”

Jiang Li smiled and shook his head.

…

After Lin Dan and Jiang Yiyang left with their children and Yan Rou and Jiang Yihong's family, Jiang Li and Zhang Ting chatted for about half an hour before going to pick up the gifts they were going to take to the Mawang Brigade.

“Did you hear what I said?”

The moonlight outside the window was like frost, Jiang Li was sitting on the bedside, she looked at Luo Yanqing and asked.

"Um."

Luo Yanqing casually put the book on the bedside table, and then said: "You are very well prepared, thank you for taking the trouble."

“It’s okay if there’s nothing wrong. I prepared these because I don’t want others to look at me and think we’re being naughty. After all, that person is an elder and the grandmother of the children. Since we’re going to visit, we have to do things decently.”

Jiang Li said: "I have prepared another five hundred yuan. Do you have any objections?"

Luo Yanqing: "No need."

Jiang Li: "We are not short of these five hundred yuan."

Luo Yanqing: “…the alimony is remitted on time.”

“I know, but this is different.”

Jiang Li looked at Luo Yanqing quietly for a moment and said, "We haven't visited him in more than ten years, so let's use these five hundred yuan to show our appreciation."

 In recent years, her nominal mother-in-law would ask the eldest son of the family to come to Beicheng to deliver grain and some fruits and vegetables to their family shortly after harvesting.

Although the things are not worth much, they are sent with your heart.

Even though she returned the favor every time, it was not good that they had not visited the Horse King Brigade for many years.

“Xiao Li, we don’t owe her anything, especially you.”

She decisively left her when he was young and ignored him for many years. However, he... was able to make arrangements for her subsequent children and pay alimony in accordance with the law. This was enough.

However, since his Xiaoli wants to see that person, since she wants to be considerate to that person...he knows that she is actually doing it for him and does not want him to have any bad words said morally.

But does he care about this? No, he doesn't care, because he has a clear conscience!

Then catch the insects. . .
