Bai Meimei is a cheerful and smart woman. From the day Li Rou wanted to continue fighting with the hooligan, Bai Meimei decisively decided to abandon him and run away first. It can be seen that she will not limit herself to some rigid bondage. middle.
So when she came to Zhong Hai, Bai Meimei still made herself happy. When Li Rou saw her, she was watching a cross talk show by Deyun Club and laughed.
"Do you understand?" Li Rou couldn't help wondering. The name Bai Meimei really makes it hard to imagine that she is a Caucasian American beauty, and cross talk is the quintessence of Chinese culture... But think about her Chinese language and her understanding of Chinese history, culture and society. Understanding is enough to make many elites eager to fly across the Pacific ashamed, and Li Rou is relieved. After all, these elites occasionally show reserved and lowered smiles gracefully when listening to cross talk.
"I'm going to the vegetable market. It's a magical place. I swear, it must be the first stop for foreigners who want to know about China. The seven things about opening the door with firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea run through Chinese history and Chinese people's lives. I can learn a lot in it..." Bai Meimei hurriedly changed her clothes, "You go with me."
Li Rou knew that in addition to the big supermarkets near the Dafan community, there was usually a vegetable market that provided more expensive and affordable daily necessities. He nodded and knocked on Xie Xiaoan's room, but there was no one in it.
"Did Xie Xiaoan leave early in the morning?" Li Rou went downstairs with Bai Meimei.
"Yeah, she should have left early in the morning, but she left me a note and said a lot. She is a very nice person. You should treat her better. I like this daughter-in-law very much." Bai Meimei said in I found a small basket containing cosmetics in the bathroom, and I was a little proud of holding it in my hand, thinking that this was like a Chinese wife.
"Do you want me to call you Shengma?" Li Rou was really helpless towards Bai Meimei. After all, he couldn't treat ordinary women like he did, and he couldn't really treat him as an adult.
"What's so embarrassing? After all, we don't live together. Your father is not around. To you, I am just a woman who is a few years older than you. When walking on the road, others will think that we are a couple. How do you know that I am actually your stepmother... "Bai Meimei touched her face and smiled, "You said that others know that I am your stepmother, do you think I am a shameless woman?"
"You are a foreigner, and others don't think so. Many people insist that such things as sacrificing youth for money and power do not exist in foreign countries... Besides, there is no need to care about what other people think. And no matter what couples, and What stepmother, can you say less of these embarrassing words?" Li Rou reminded Bai Meimei that her willful personality made Li Rou feel comfortable speaking, so don't be too reserved.
"Okay, I still have a common language with Xie Xiaoan, and I also like Qiao Niannu." Bai Meimei shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently.
"You haven't even talked to Xie Xiaoan. Are you sure you like Qiao Niannu? She is Lin Jiangxian's number one confidant, the real heir, Lin Jiangxian's spokesperson in the government organization, and the person who directly exercises Lin Jiangxian's power." Li Rou has already Now I understand why Qiao Niannu dared to stand up to the so-called immediate boss and direct management... In Lin Jiangxian's eyes, there is probably no one who is not a tool for her to achieve her goals. Naturally, she does not have to fear or submit to any government, Qiao Nian Nu has the backing of Immortal Lin Jiang, so naturally he doesn't need to give too much face to ordinary people.
Li Rou even had a vague feeling why even a vice-national like Ye Qiming didn't quite understand this organization. In fact, this organization only belonged to Lin Jiangxian, and the superficially supreme power of the national government didn't have the capital to override it. Unless you find another person who can check and balance Lin Jiangxian.
"I said that Xie Xiaoan left me a message, and between the lines revealed a kind of respect for mother-in-law. I know that in China, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the supreme contradiction, but there should be no relationship between stepmother and daughter-in-law, because they do not love the same Man..." After Bai Meimei finished speaking, she glanced at Li Rou worriedly, and quickly said: "But I still love you, you are so cute, and the relationship can be cultivated slowly."
"Okay, I found that your Chinese is really good, but there are still some problems in comprehension." Li Rou shook his head.
Bai Meimei looked at him suspiciously.
"It's nothing." Li Rou didn't bother to explain, he asked her not to bring up embarrassing topics such as lovers and stepmothers, but those words just now made Li Rou embarrassing.
"Qiao Niannu stayed here after dating you last night. I don't know when she left... But when she came back, I hadn't slept yet, so I had a conversation with her, and the topic was all about you... Although I'm not very interested, she pretended to be very interested and asked about you. She talked a lot, and at the same time revealed a kind of... "
"Stop...stop...the vegetable market is here." Li Rou pointed to the front, it seemed that she didn't have to worry about a chatterbox at any time, she could just find someone and talk endlessly, and then relieved the gloom in her heart.
Bai Meimei immediately forgot the topic just now, and happily experienced the daily life of Chinese people with a basket in her hand.
"This dish is called Chinese cabbage. You don't have it in the United States. It costs ten yuan a kilogram." The aunt who sells vegetables glanced at Bai Meimei and introduced enthusiastically, "It is rich in various vitamins and nutrients, and it is our Chinese specialty."
"So expensive?" Bai Meimei was taken aback.
"It's only ten dollars, but I only accept RMB, let's count you sixty yuan per kilogram." The aunt generously offered a discount, because the ratio of RMB to US dollar has jumped to more than 1:6.
"Auntie, do you think I'm an idiot? I can buy a truckload of cabbage for 60 yuan. This is cabbage, not platinum!" Bai Meimei said angrily, and then said to Li Rou who came over, "I'm going to get my hair Dye black and wear black colored contact lenses, thank God, thank the person who invented colored contact lenses, colored contact lenses and sanitary napkins are the greatest inventions in the world."
The aunt was a little embarrassed, but immediately said indifferently: "This cabbage is good, and it costs 50 cents a catty. Don't look at other people's good-looking ones, but the cores are rotten, and I don't have any."
Bai Meimei looked at it triumphantly, but didn't plan to buy it, because her basket couldn't hold a plant of Chinese cabbage at all.
"How do you know the price of cabbage?" Li Rou followed, still worried that she would be ripped off.
"Of course I did my homework. McDonald's and KFC have raised their prices again, which are even more expensive than those sold in the United States. Your prices have risen sharply, but they are not as exaggerated as 60 yuan per kilogram of cabbage. I said your prices If it rises further, you can ask the government to kneel down, and you can’t even control the price, what kind of socialist system.” Bai Meimei was picking radishes, and the stall owner had obviously noticed that Bai Meimei was a China hand, so she stopped shouting prices.
Li Rou didn't tell her this. For Li Rou, complaining was meaningless. Since he couldn't change anything, he could only change himself and work harder so that he could not care about these problems.
Even Lin Jiangxian, there is no way to bring rice back to the era when rice cost 1 yuan a catty and lean meat cost 6 yuan a catty, although that was only five or six years ago.
Li Rou chatted with Bai Meimei for a while, and ate Bai Meimei's "hot pot" at noon, and then regretted it... I can only comfort myself, after all, it is better than An Nanxiu's rice fried with two eggs, at least I can Wait until the dish is cooked before eating.
In the afternoon, Li Rou went to pick up Xiuxiu.
Xiuxiu was imprisoned near Yuan Hushan, which is the stronghold responsible for non-ordinary human problems near Yuanhushan. Xiuxiu was found walking an oil tanker near Yuanhushan.
Li Rou found the address given by Qiao Niannu, which turned out to be a so-called private club, which probably prevented ordinary people from entering by mistake.
Contrary to Li Rou's expectations, Xiuxiu, an unfathomable, incomprehensible, and incomprehensible crab, is being imprisoned. The staff here are very relaxed, and they don't have the dignity of imprisoning dangerous animals.
"It's really cute." It was Da Qiao who led Li Rou to pick up Xiuxiu, one of the sisters who often cooperated with Qiao Niannu.
"That's because you didn't see it playing Fruit Ninja..." Li Rou was more helpless to Xiuxiu than to An Nanxiu. After all, An Nanxiu could still communicate, but Xiuxiu couldn't communicate at all. It didn't even give An Nanxiu's orders. How can I understand.
Da Qiao laughed, because his face and figure were somewhat similar to Qiao Niannu's, so he had enough attractive demeanor.
When Li Rou saw Xiuxiu, he just saw crab hotpot.
"Yesterday we received a report. When we arrived at the scene, Xiuxiu had already run away. According to the traces left by the tanker, we found her in a night market near the highway... At that time, she was still a crab. I don't know why. Yes, she jumped into the hot pot at the roadside stall all of a sudden, startling the people who ate it... We bought the hot pot with the stall owner, and she just lay there without moving." Da Qiao pointed Refers to the hot pot, "We keep adding water and keeping the fire on, and it hasn't moved until now."
No wonder the staff here are very relaxed. If you want to catch this stupid crab, it will throw itself into the net with a hot pot. Li Rou doesn't understand. She is in Yuanhu Mountain these days. Doesn't she have the opportunity to soak in the seaside hot spring
However, trying to analyze Xiuxiu's behavior seems to be a more incomprehensible and stupid behavior than many of Xiuxiu's behaviors, so Li Rou did not continue.
Li Rou took a pair of chopsticks, picked Xiuxiu out of the hot pot, and threw it on the ground.
Xiuxiu shook her eyes, she seemed to have woken up, turned around on the ground twice, only to find that she was on the ground, she hurriedly jumped into the hot pot again.
Li Rou pinched it out again, Xiuxiu turned around on the ground twice, finally found Li Rou, shook her eyes happily, and turned into a little girl, wearing a calico pajamas, Standing in front of Li Rou, he held Li Rou's finger.
"Let's go back." Xiuxiu's action made Li Rou's heart soften. This was probably the action Tiantian taught her when she was with Tiantian.
Xiuxiu nodded, which surprised Li Rou. She actually understood. Could it be that Xiuxiu has become smarter during this time
Xiuxiu pointed to the hot pot again.
"Can we take this hot pot home?" Li Rou asked, actually already had one at home.
"Of course." Big Joe smiled and nodded.
Xiuxiu quickly picked up the hot pot and poured it on her head without hesitation.
Li Rou slapped his face, feeling deeply ashamed for An Nanxiu, and even himself was extremely shameless, watching the hot pot on his head, his body was dripping with the smell of spicy hot pot, and there were a lot of ginger, garlic, pepper and beef , a juicy little girl... How can I imagine that Xiuxiu will become smarter
At least... At least she can understand taking it back as wearing it back, which is considered an improvement?
