Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 263: Be good and put your hat on!

After Yan Jiecheng came out, Wang Hongtao adjusted the brim of his hat and put it on him with a snap. At the end, he patted his head and said, "Uncle, what do you think of this hat?"

Yan Bugui looked at it for a while with a smile, and said seriously: "You know what, this size and style are just like they were tailor-made for Jie Cheng!"

Yan Jiecheng felt the thickness of the hat and said happily, "This hat is good, not too thick or too thin, and can be worn in both cold and hot weather!"

Wang Hongtao was delighted: "Of course! I bought it for this reason. It is of moderate thickness and suitable for both hot and cold weather. It protects against the sun in hot weather and cold weather. I guarantee you can wear it all year round!"

……

"Well, Brother Jie Cheng, you guys are busy. I'll take my sister-in-law back first!"

After helping Yan Jiecheng put on his hat, Wang Hongtao immediately ran away, preparing to go home to reinforce the hat.

"Okay, good. Take care, Brother Wang." Yan Jiecheng felt something was wrong, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then waved to Wang Hongtao: "Thank you!"

Wang Hongtao shook his head: Look, I’m still thanking you for just this!

……

When he got home, he asked Yu Li to light a fire and cook, then took four eggs from the cupboard and put them on the table.

Then he took out a covered clay jar from the cupboard, placed it on the chopping board, opened the lid, and saw that it was full of lard.

"Cook the rice a little harder, use three eggs to make fried rice, and leave the rest for a whole bowl of soup."

Yu Li leaned over and looked at the pure white and delicate lard, her mouth watering: "Is this lard?"

"So beautiful... I haven't had egg fried rice for a long time. I can only eat rice at your house."

Yu Li was afraid that the eggs would fall to the ground, so she first put the eggs into a bowl and then stared at the lard.

At this time, lard is more precious than eggs. Without eggs, adding some soy sauce to the lard fried rice will also make it delicious, but the rice fried without lard will be much inferior.

Wang Hongtao smiled and said, "Want to eat? Then eat more tonight and enjoy it."

"But... no matter how much you eat, you can't eat so much, right?" Yu Li hesitated as she looked at the rice Wang Hongtao scooped out.

"What are you thinking about? I'll save the extra for tomorrow morning!"

Having said that, what he was thinking in his heart was leaving it for the Qin sisters. They would have a rest tomorrow. The two sisters would definitely send someone to serve them tonight, so he had to reserve some for them.

Yu Li smiled and nodded, then asked, "Do you have any clothes to wash? I feel bad for eating so well, so I'll help you wash them after dinner."

Wang Hongtao shook his head and said, "Don't do that. Qin Huairu will help me wash my clothes. If you wash them, she will think you are stealing her job. She is worried that Jia Zhang will come to her house and scold her."

"Besides, given Third Uncle's character, if you really help me wash clothes, he will definitely ask me for money."

Yu Li frowned and thought about it. It seemed to be true, so she gave up.

Suddenly she seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Are you and Qin Huairu also...?"

"What? You still want to meddle in my business?" Wang Hongtao asked back, squinting his eyes.

Yu Li panicked for no reason: "No, no, I'm just curious and asking casually. If you don't like it, I won't ask."

Seeing Wang Hongtao's mischievous eyes, but with that familiar smirk on his lips, Yu Li's face turned red. How could she not know that this man was deliberately trying to scare her?

At the moment, she did not care about the answer to the question, but threw herself into Wang Hongtao's arms and complained in a low voice: "You scared me, I thought you were really angry with me. From now on, I won't ask you anything you don't like, and I will listen to you."

Wang Hongtao rubbed Yu Li's head and whispered, "That's good enough. Cook the meal and come into the room. We can play for a while while the meal is cooking."

……

An hour or so later, at the dinner table.

Wang Hongtao scooped a large bowl of egg fried rice, held the bowl and scrambled around, frantically replenishing his energy.

Yu Li sat at the dining table with a contented look on her face, sipping her egg fried rice in small sips. Every time she chewed, she closed her mouth tightly, as if she was afraid that the aroma would overflow.

Take a few bites of fried rice, take a sip of egg drop soup, squint your eyes, and enjoy it quietly.

Wang Hongtao looked Yu Li up and down: this woman ate coarse grains at the third uncle's house, but she had a plump and well-proportioned figure; in contrast, her sister Yu Haitang ate in the factory cafeteria and received a salary, but her figure was like a washboard, which was very strange.

Maybe this is talent, Wang Hongtao thought to himself.

"It smells so good!" Yu Li smiled while pursing her lips when she saw Wang Hongtao was looking at her.

"If it smells good, eat more, but don't eat too much. If you eat too much rice and then soak it in soup, it will easily cause bloating," Wang Hongtao explained.

Yu Li naturally understood the principle, but it was rare for her to have egg fried rice, so she always wanted to eat more.

Yu Li ate two bowls of fried rice and a large bowl of soup. She didn't feel uncomfortable while eating, but she felt a little bloated.

But after just a short while of washing the dishes, the hard fried rice was soaked by the soup and I started to feel uncomfortable.

"Well, I can't take it anymore! My stomach is so bloated!" Halfway through washing the dishes, Yu Li leaned against the wall and cried out in pain, unable to even sit down.

Wang Hongtao shook his head and said speechlessly: "I told you to take it easy, but you didn't listen. Are you feeling better now?"

Yu Li pursed her lips, supported her forehead with one hand and her waist with the other, and looked at Wang Hongtao pitifully.

"Forget it, let me help you press your stomach." Wang Hongtao shook his head and walked towards Yu Li.

Belly bloating caused by overeating can usually be relieved by massage to help digestion.

Place your hands on both sides of your belly button and massage in a clockwise direction with your belly button as the center of gravity. Massage for five to ten minutes will have a relieving effect.

Given their close relationship, Yu Li naturally would not refuse and nodded quickly.

Wang Hongtao is proficient in basic massage, so his technique is naturally no problem. As soon as Yu Li started, she felt her stomach getting hot, warm and comfortable.

Half lying in Wang Hongtao's arms, looking at the man's handsome face full of concern and seriousness, Yu Li felt warm in her heart and a surge of love.

"Do you feel more comfortable?" Wang Hongtao asked after pressing for a while.

Yu Li snuggled tighter in Wang Hongtao's arms and replied in a nasal voice, "Hmm!" Her eyes were almost filled with tears.

Just when Wang Hongtao was in the mood and planning to do something.

"Puff." With a slight sound, Yu Li suddenly struggled to get up and ran towards the bathroom.

Wang Hongtao burst out laughing and shook his head helplessly: Look at what this has done.

Helpless as he was, Wang Hongtao still walked out of the house quickly to avoid affecting his mood.

……

I walked over to Xu Damao's house next door and saw Lou Xiao'e sitting at the table with a sullen look on her face.

"Sister Xiao'e, who made you angry?" Wang Hongtao asked with a grin.

"Isn't it Xu Damao? I'm pregnant, and he gives me these to eat. I have no appetite at all!"

When Lou Xiao'e saw Wang Hongtao, she felt like she had found her backbone. She stood up and said aggrievedly.

Ok?

Treating my son badly? No way!

Wang Hongtao walked towards the kitchen with a sullen look.
