Chapter 286 Xu Family Courtyard
Wang Hongtao dropped the Qin sisters off at the bus stop and let them walk back by themselves.
Besides, what Qin Huairu said about choosing herself if she had to choose between two options was just for fun. She believed that she would choose herself if she had to choose between two options, but this does not mean that she does not care about the jokes.
……
After parking the car in a secluded place, Wang Hongtao went to Xu Huizhen's house carrying half a lamb chop.
"What is Li'er doing?"
"Are you drawing? Show your godfather what you've drawn..."
Wang Hongtao didn't go to the tavern, but went directly to the backyard.
"Uncle Wang is here?" Xu Jingli ran towards Wang Hongtao excitedly, hugged his thighs and acted coquettishly.
Wang Hongtao picked her up and rubbed her smooth face: "Come, let your uncle Wang see what's painted."
Coming to the drawing board, Wang Hongtao half bent over and took a closer look: the painting was roughly like this:
"Li'er's painting is of a family of three, right? It's a very beautiful painting!" Wang Hongtao praised. It is quite good for a little girl of six or seven years old to be able to draw like this.
"wrong!"
Xu Jingli looked very serious. She struggled to get down from Wang Hongtao's arms, and then pulled Wang Hongtao's hand to make him squat beside her. She pointed at the drawing board and explained: "This is Li'er, this is mom, and this is Uncle Wang, not dad."
"Mom said Dad is a bad guy and told Li'er to ignore him!"
Wang Hongtao was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Eloping with his sister-in-law on the day his wife was about to give birth, no one with a bit of humanity would do such a thing!
Then Wang Hongtao put on a bitter face again and pointed at the drawing board: "Then you also drew your Uncle Wang too ugly, right? Is this how your Uncle Wang looks in your mind?"
Xu Jingli smiled shyly, then rushed into Wang Hongtao's arms: "I also want to draw something more beautiful...but I just can't draw well..."
"Okay, then Uncle Wang won't blame you. Wait until Li'er grows up and then draw a nice picture for him, okay?"
"Ok!"
Next, Wang Hongtao did not go to the front yard to find Xu Huizhen, but stayed in the backyard to play with Xu Jingli.
When I had some free time, I made a kite frame with bamboo strips, and then used Li'er's paintings as kite dough and pasted them together.
"Li'er, Uncle Wang will fly a kite with you, okay?"
……
forecourt.
Xu Huizhen finally sent all the lunch guests away, and suddenly thought about why Li'er was so well-behaved today and didn't bother her at all.
As the saying goes, a quiet child is probably up to something.
Feeling anxious, Xu Huizhen also wanted to find out what Li'er was doing, whether he was being naughty or something, so she hurried to the backyard to check.
"Haha, you're flying so high, Uncle Wang, you're so awesome!"
Wang Hongtao saw Xu Huizhen approaching from the corner of his eye, and deliberately squatted next to Xu Jingli and kissed her tender face: "Where did you learn this sentence? Did you hear it from your mother when you pretended to sleep at night?"
Xu Huizhen was enjoying the family time when she saw her man playing with Li'er. But he suddenly said something that ruined the mood. She was so angry that she raised her eyebrows and pinched him angrily: "What are you talking about? You have no control over your words!"
"Hey, is Sister Huizhen done with your work?"
"I'm playing with Li'er, do you want to ignore me?" Wang Hongtao flattered Xu Jingli.
"Ok!"
"Uncle Wang is so nice. He played with me and made a kite for me." Xu Jingli on the side excitedly chimed in, then pointed his finger at the sky and shouted:
"Mom, look up in the sky. There's a picture I drew on the kite. Isn't it beautiful?"
Xu Huizhen was originally very angry about Wang Hongtao taking Chen Xueru out for fun and didn't intend to pay any attention to him.
At this moment, her anger had mostly subsided, and she stepped forward and pinched the man hard: "How lucky that you still remembered us, mother and daughter. I thought you had forgotten us!"
Wang Hongtao chuckled, handed the kite string to Xu Jingli, then pulled Xu Huizhen over and said shamelessly, "How can that be possible? Can't you come to see Sister Huizhen right away?"
"By the way, Sister Huizhen, I went hunting in the mountains yesterday and caught a black goat. I brought you the best lamb chops. You can try them later."
"This meat is best eaten by women. It nourishes the body and is good for the skin...
Sister Xueru, I couldn’t bear to give it to you!”
"Really?" Xu Huizhen was skeptical, and her attention was quickly diverted away by Wang Hongtao.
Women, especially young women, care the most about their beauty. Once they hear that it can beautify and good for the skin, they will definitely try it.
"How can I deceive you, Sister Huizhen? This is a real wild black goat. Eating it can... prolong your life and make you immortal..."
As Wang Hongtao's words became more and more outrageous, he almost described it as Tang Monk's flesh, and Xu Hui was really amused.
"Haha... How can it be so exaggerated? I think you shouldn't drive. It would be best if you could change your career and become a storyteller!"
Wang Hongtao spent the rest of the afternoon in the backyard of Xu Huizhen's house, drinking tea with the mother and daughter, telling stories, chatting, and telling them about the interesting things he had experienced in the factory, in the mountains, and in the courtyard.
Xu Jingli stayed quietly in Wang Hongtao's arms the whole time, being incredibly well-behaved.
Wang Hongtao's main focus was naturally on telling the stories of the Siheyuan. He talked about many things, big and small, and concluded with a sentence: "In short, there are all kinds of strange people in our courtyard, but there are no good people."
Xu Huizhen looked at him with a half-smile: "What about you? Do you think you are a bad person or a good person?"
Wang Hongtao touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "As for me, I'm definitely not a good person, but I haven't done many bad things either."
Xu Huizhen glared at him: "You said you're not a bad person, but you took me away the first time we met..."
Wang Hongtao sighed: "Well, if that's the case, I won't bother you anymore. Let's just pretend we've never met."
"Jingli, say goodbye to Uncle Wang."
After saying this, Wang Hongtao put Xu Jingli into Xu Huizhen's hands and pretended to leave.
Xu Jingli quickly hugged Wang Hongtao's neck and said, "He's not a bad guy! Mom, you're talking nonsense! Uncle Wang is not a bad guy!"
Xu Huizhen naturally knew what kind of person Wang Hongtao was, and she twisted him again: "You are such a bad guy! You only know how to bully people who are ignorant!"
After saying that, he leaned on Wang Hongtao's shoulder in front of Xu Jingli, and the three of them enjoyed this moment of leisure together.
"Customers are about to come to the store. I have to go to the front to greet them." After a while, Xu Huizhen spoke.
Although he said this, his feet did not move at all, waiting for Wang Hongtao to stay.
"Then Sister Huizhen, you go and get busy first."
"Li'er, let me accompany you first. I will also prepare dinner. You can come over to eat when you are done."
"Ah."
Although the man did not ask her to stay, he did not show any intention of leaving, so Xu Huizhen left with peace of mind.
After Xu Huizhen left, Wang Hongtao started to prepare for the same old routine again.
Hand-pulled lamb chops, lamb soup, and noodles. The only difference was that he replaced the cabbage with crispy cucumbers.
The pub run by Xu Huizhen has plenty of fresh cucumbers.
……
Little Jingli held the lamb chops in one hand and the cucumber in the other, eating with great pleasure, her little hands and face were all covered in oil.
When Xu Huizhen came back after finishing her work, the little girl's belly was already bulging with food, and she was leaning on the recliner in a very ungraceful manner.
Xu Huizhen saw this and lovingly wrung out a hot towel to help Li'er wipe the oil stains off her hands and mouth, complaining: "You don't know how to take care of a child at all, look at how dirty you are..."
"hey-hey..."
The big and the small looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.
"Sister Huizhen, please serve yourself. I can't get up."
"The mutton soup is heating up in the pot, and I've also given you some lamb chops in Mars hot water, so just eat them."
Wang Hongtao frowned and pretended to be too full to get up.
Xu Jingli standing by did the same, touching her belly with a sad face. The little adult looked both adorable and mature.
After Xu Huizhen finished eating, Xu Jingli also recovered a little, and ran to Wang Hongtao with his short legs: "Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, can you sleep with Li'er tonight? Li'er still wants to hear Peppa Pig's story."
