Chapter 50 The Road to Well-off (26)

On March 31, a few weird laughter rang on the third floor of the Li family building. If it wasn’t for the fact that Black Bean and Mao Dou were both sleeping soundly, no one would have heard them. They would have been scared to death by Li Yannian’s ghost-like laughter.

There was no other reason. As soon as the time passed, it would be April.

After selling off the gold, she immediately made a few orders. However, she only bought a few small things, and half of the room was almost occupied by the various bags, while her system account still had over eight thousand dollars lying in it.

The first thing he bought was fresh food. All sorts of fruits, beef and lamb, deep-sea prawns, chicken legs and chicken breasts were all taken care of by Li Yannian. God knows how she’s been these past few months.

Then there were all kinds of snacks, such as cookies, chips, chocolate, dried beef jerky, milk tea, fruit tea, cocoa powder, instant coffee powder, honey, brown sugar, ginger tea, and, most importantly, the thin cake of the Huangjia Spring Lotus. In the past, she would buy one every two weeks or so, and she would never get tired of eating it. Although there were still a lot of old brands such as Jinhua cracker and Su Xiangmo, they were all inferior to the peak position of the Huang Family’s Chun Lian in her heart.

In the end, it was just a piece of a department store. In front, he had bought some shampoo and shower gel, but after taking them out, he could tell that the packaging was not from there, so Li Yannian specially bought a set of 3 pieces of porcelain for the bathroom. He chose a simple and elegant design without any words, when the time came, he would pour some shampoo and shower gel inside the bathroom, and that would be it.

There were also a few antique porcelain snack boxes and other daily necessities. They were all antique designs, made from porcelain or wood. When used, they didn’t seem particularly eye-catching. She didn’t even forget the most important toilet. She had reserved a small room when building the house, so every time she was done, she would flush the toilet. The dirt and dirt would gather in the septic tank at the back of the house, and she would no longer have to endure the pain of holding her nose in the middle of the night.

As for the skincare products, their budget was limited, so it was not a good idea to pursue them now. She casually found a few and stored them in the storeroom for convenient use. The cheap snowflake paste on his face had long been unable to endure the cold weather these few months. With great difficulty, he finally had the conditions to improve, and Li Yannian had already restrained himself from buying all of them crazily.

In addition, she also thought about how the quilt she had now was heavy and not very warm, but if she wanted to buy a few good quilts, the silk would be soft, but it wouldn’t work. In winter, she had to buy more quilts than just heavy quilts, and there would also have to be a bed on top, otherwise she would be able to run out of heat after a night’s sleep, so after buying the quilts, she also had to buy a quilting quilts. Counting the price, in order to get the duvet properly, he had to go up at least three thousand times, and there were still over ten thousand that were expensive.

Li Yannian only had so little money left in her account. After buying the blanket, he didn’t have any money left to buy anything else, so she could only bear with it for now. Fortunately, the coldest period had passed and the weather had started to slowly warm up. However, hot underwear could still be bought. In any case, when the time came, she would wear it underneath her clothes and normally would not be able to see it. As long as she took it off, it wouldn’t matter even if she was seen.

Looking at the scattered items, he casually bought them. In the blink of an eye, it was already daybreak. Li Yannian was only interested in buying, he did not close his eyes for the entire night, but strangely, he did not feel sleepy at all.

Stretching lazily, he casually packed his bag. At this point, he could already hear Black Bean and the others talking downstairs. Li Yannian stood up and wiped his face, changed his clothes, and then went downstairs as well.

“Bro, Dou Dou, aiyo, why have you all woken up already?”

Only after Li Yannian greeted everyone, did she realize that it was extremely difficult for him to call out to Zhao Xu every single time. She was actually yawning as she sat at the side of the dining table, and couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

Zhao Xu looked at her with a pair of panda eyes, resentfully, and yawned again. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had to pretend to be stupid, he really wanted to ask the young girl from the Li family why he didn’t sleep in the middle of the night and would occasionally make a sound, causing him to be unable to sleep at all.

Black Bean laughed: “I was shocked too, I woke up early in the morning and found him sitting up against the bed. His face was pale white and his eyes were green.

The main culprit, Li Yannian, did not have any consciousness as she giggled: “This idiot will never be able to sleep. Bro, did you heat up the stove?”

Black Bean nodded his head: “The hot water should still be warm after cooking the porridge. If you wash your face, there’s still some in the pot.”

Li Yannian did not say that she had already washed herself in cold water upstairs. She took out a liter of imported milk from the warehouse and placed it in the pot before adding it to the fire.

Compared to the domestic milk sold in the supermarket, it was at least half cheaper. Moreover, it didn’t need to be stored in the refrigerator and its shelf life was also over a year. It was also a common occurrence for people to get five to six yuan at special prices. Li Yannian used to buy them all at once, which was much more worthwhile than fresh milk.

In the past, she didn’t have the qualifications, but now that the transaction amount was no longer limited, she added milk to her daily diet. The two boys from the Li Family were still growing, so they drank more milk and grew taller as well.

The stove in the new house had two eyes. While the milk was hot, she added some heat to the stove by the side, counted out five eggs, scattered them in the pot, and started heating up the pot. Then, she took out two bags of smoked bacon and threw them in. The bacon itself was rich in fat, so there was no need to add any more oil to the wok. As the fire slowly fried, the fat in the bacon was slowly fried out.

Seeing that the bacon had already been fried to a yellow color, Li Yannian scooped it out of the wok satisfied. Then, with the oil in the wok, she poured the egg juice over the wok.

After a short while, the golden egg juice solidified into a light yellow scrambled egg. She quickly used the shovel to scatter it. Seeing that it was almost cooked, she quickly scooped it out of the pot.

“It smells so good. Elder sister, what are you cooking?”

Mao Dou, who had just finished washing his face, twitched his nose and curiously went over to look at Li Yannian’s hand holding the basin.

Black Bean immediately pulled him away. Actually, the moment the fragrance of the fried meat came out, he had the urge to rush to the stove to check what was going on. Black Bean was not an idiot. He could tell that his sister did not really want them to know the origin of these things.

“Salted meat and scrambled eggs. Have you washed your hands yet?” After washing our hands, we’ll hurry to the table and get ready for breakfast. ”

Mao Dou’s attention was immediately distracted by the word “eat.” He cheered and immediately sat down obediently at the dining table.

Li Yannian removed the fire from the stove, and first poured a bowl of milk for everyone. Worried that they wouldn’t be full, she opened ten bags of jujube cake and placed them on a plate, then threw all the packaging trash back into a corner of the warehouse. Then, she carried the plate out.

“Alright, let’s eat while it’s hot. It’s milk in the bowl. If you can’t get used to drinking it light, you can add sugar. ”

Black Bean and Mao Dou consciously helped her set up the tableware. Li Yannian was so busy taking out the food from her plate that no one noticed the surprise that flashed across Zhao Xu’s eyes.

Is this milk? The cow milk that only existed in the kitchen of the King Yi? When his concubine was favoured, his father would remember to give some to his concubine, who would always be reluctant to drink it. She would have to wait until he had left school to force him to drink it, saying that it was a great tonic, and that it would grow if he drank it.

However, he had never liked that fishy smell. Back then, he was still young and didn’t know how to act. Thus, when he agreed to it, he immediately turned around and splashed it. Another time, when he happened to see her, she sighed and said nothing, but she never forced him to drink again.

When Zhao Xu turned twelve, his aunt’s grave was already as tall as a man. Only then did he know how rare milk was, and even in Prince Yi’s Mansion, the only ones who could enjoy it were a few noble lords.

But now, on the table, the thing seemed to be free of money, bowls of it steaming.

Zhao Xu suddenly thought of his concubine’s helpless look again. His memories about her had obviously become more and more blurry, and sometimes, he couldn’t even remember his appearance, but that look was as clear as if it was imprinted on his heart.

“Hey, Brother Xu, why are you crying?” Was he too hungry? You can already eat. Don’t cry. ”

Mao Dou’s tender and concerned voice was right beside his ear, but Zhao Xu could not stop the tears from welling up in his eyes.

“I don’t know either. Hey, stop talking. Hurry up and get him a towel.”

Li Yannian responded and quickly took a towel from the rack in the washbasin and soaked it in the hot water from the pot. After she wrung it dry, she went back to the table.

“Aiyo, you little fool. You’re crying like a kitten. You’re too big to be ashamed.” Dou Dou is so much younger than you, but she doesn’t even cry. ”

She teased while using a hot towel to wipe Zhao Xu’s face. Black Bean awkwardly retracted the hand that he used to receive the towel, and thought that he should remind his sister that even if Zhao Xu was a fool, he was still a male! Men and women shouldn’t be so intimate with each other! If the villagers saw this, wouldn’t they just talk themselves into death?

Zhao Xu was originally crying, but when he heard this, he was afraid that Li siblings would see through it, so he started to fake crying. After a series of choked up performance, he finally stopped giving Li Yannian face, and raised his head to reveal a happy smile towards Li Yannian.

“He’s crying and laughing at the same time. There’s really no saving him.”

Li Yannian lovingly touched his head, then wiped her face ruthlessly once more before letting him go and pushing the bowl of milk in front of him: “Hurry up and drink, it’s fishy and cold.”

After saying that, he remembered that this fellow was fond of sweetness, so he ruthlessly added another spoonful of powdered sugar to it.

Black Bean saw that her actions were extremely familiar, even his brother Mao Dou did not reveal any shocked expression, and knew that the two of them had been together for a long time. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Li Yannian’s calm face, and Zhao Xu’s ignorant face, he thought for a moment, then closed his mouth.

Heated milk did not have that much of a fishy smell, and Li Yannian had placed a red date in each bowl that was split into half, so even though it was the first time she drank milk, the Li brothers were not used to it. Even Zhao Xu who hesitated for a moment before taking the bowl out, had to admit that the food in the bowl was fragrant and sweet, so milk was actually this delicious too.

“Sis, is there anything else?” This is good, I want another bowl. ”

Li Yannian shook her head and laughed, “No matter how good something is, it’s always fatal. If you like it, Big Sis will make you another bowl of it tonight, and you can even drink it everyday in the future.”

“Wow, big sis, are you serious? That’s great! “Sis, you’re so nice to me!”

“You greedy cat, hurry up and eat porridge and breakfast. In a while, go back to your room to do your homework.”

“Yes, Sis. I’m very obedient. I practice diligently every day.” “Sis, the paper last time was a bit insufficient. How about I use a sand table?”

Li Yannian picked up a bowl of bacon and eggs with two chopsticks and said, “No need, Big Sis will come over with you in a while. If you’re good at this, then Big Sis will make you something nice to eat at noon. ”

When it came to eating, all three pairs of eyes in the house lit up. Black Bean and Zhao Xu subconsciously turned back to look at Mao Dou, but Mao Dou did not notice, he patted his chest and promised Li Yannian: “Alright! Sis, just you wait! ”

Li Yannian looked at Black Bean and Zhao Xu’s bright and lively eyes, and had the urge to facepalm and let out a long sigh.

Truly, they were not family. They would not enter the same house. That Manager Lu really knew how to throw people into his own home. He really wasn’t just casually throwing them away.
