How can I go back to the past?

"Xiao Le, go call people for dinner." Mother Li said to Li Le who was sitting on a chair in the dining room.

"okay."

Li Le is willing to do this! To be honest, he is a little hungry now.

Li Le attended Cheng Fei's wedding at noon. Although the food was good, he didn't eat much.

There’s no way. The table is full of elders. What can you ask him to do? He can’t just sit there and eat all the time!

That's too rude. He can only watch others eat and then take a few bites.

Li Le came to the living room and shouted, "Grandpa, grandma, dad, Uncle Cheng, dinner is ready."

"Coming."

"Come on, brother, let's go eat." said Dad Li.

"it is good."

After saying that, Father Cheng stood up and prepared to help the old man.

The old man quickly said, "No need."

Li Le's grandparents are in good health. Although they are in their seventies, they look like they are in their sixties.

Although my grandparents were from the countryside, they never worked hard in their lives and moved to big cities when they were young.

And I'm not working, I'm doing some small business in a big city. Although I haven't made a lot of money, I've been making small amounts of money.

So even though they are in their seventies, they look much younger than their actual age.

In addition, I pay attention to my health and exercise every day.

Of course, the most important thing is to have a good attitude, many children and grandchildren, and they are all filial.

Soon everyone sat down. Today, because Cheng's father and mother were here, there were more people.

First, the old man said a few words, and then handed the right to speak to Li's father.

Father Li picked up a glass of wine, stood up and said, "First of all, I would like to welcome Brother Cheng and Sister-in-law to our home.

To be honest, our whole family is very happy that you can come, and we can even say that it is a great honor for our humble home, so I would like to offer a toast to both of you. "

Hearing what Mr. Li said, Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng quickly picked up their cups and stood up.

Father Cheng said, "It's over, it's over. We came here uninvited, so we should drink a glass of wine as punishment. But since you said so, I'll drink it."

Cheng Ma: "Yes, let's touch one!"

"Add me one." Aunt Li also picked up a glass of wine and stood up and said.

There is no one in the Li family who doesn't drink. Although Li's mother doesn't drink much, she basically drinks a little every day.

Mother Cheng doesn't drink much, or even says she basically doesn't drink at all, but she plans to drink today.

The four of them clinked their glasses and drank the wine, and then everything else was simple.

First, the younger generation toasted. Of course, this younger generation started with Cheng's father and mother. To the old man and the old lady, they were indeed the younger generation.

The meal lasted an hour and a half. Everyone not only enjoyed the food but also the drinks.

After dinner, Li Ma and the others cleaned up the table and the kitchen, while Li Le took Cheng's father and mother to the second floor.

Li Le opened the door of a room and said, "Uncle and aunt, you can stay in this room!"

There are many rooms on the second floor, nine in total. Not only that, each room is very large.

Although it cannot be compared with Li Le’s room on the third floor, it is still about 40 to 50 square meters.

There is no way, this house covers a large area! More than 600 square meters.

Even if one room is only 40 or 50 square meters, nine rooms would only take up more than 400 square meters.

By this calculation, the second floor still has more than 200 square meters, but the living room is from top to bottom, so it takes up some space.

There are also stairs and corridors.

"This room is very big!" said Cheng's father.

"Yes, uncle. The room is about 40 to 50 square meters! There is a dry and wet separated bathroom, a bathtub and a shower room."

Of course, this room also has a cloakroom.

Li Le also took Cheng's father and mother's luggage and put it in the cloakroom.

Whenever Mr. and Mrs. Cheng go out, they always bring a change of clothes and, of course, toiletries.

Although it is already prepared here, some people still prefer to bring their own.

Because it might be a habit. Not to mention others, Li Le has this habit.

"Xiao Le, thank you."

"Auntie, you are so polite. I never act like this when I visit your house."

"Uh! Okay, I get it."

"By the way, uncle and aunt, I plan to let you stay and celebrate the New Year with us."

"Ah! Xiaole, this won't do. It's New Year's Day and you and your family are all here. What's the point of us staying here?"

"Uncle, I don't like what you said. Keeping you here for the New Year means I don't treat you as outsiders. Why are you being so polite?"

Hearing what Li Le said, Cheng's father smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Le, I'm not being polite, I just feel it's inconvenient."

"What's so inconvenient about this? I've never had any inconvenience when I've been to your house. It's the same for you and your aunt when you're here."

"Also, Brother Fei is going to spend the New Year at his father-in-law's house this year. There will only be two of you going back. In that case, why don't you stay? It will be more lively to have so many people to celebrate the New Year."

To be honest, Cheng's parents were very excited to hear Li Le say this, because just as Li Le said, they would go back to the capital to celebrate the New Year just the two of them.

In that case, it would be very deserted, and there would not even be any New Year atmosphere.

To be honest, if you stay and celebrate the New Year with Li Le's family, it will be really lively because there are so many of them.

"Xiao Le, let me discuss this with your aunt and give you an answer tomorrow morning."

"Okay, in that case, you and Auntie should wash up and rest first."

"it is good."

Li Le's house has central air conditioning, so the entire villa, no matter where you are, is particularly warm.

There is no problem at all with washing and taking a shower, and I don’t even feel cold in my pajamas.

When Li Le came downstairs, everyone was already sitting in the living room chatting.

"Xiao Le, has your Uncle Cheng made all the arrangements?" asked Dad Li.

"Ok!"

Li Le originally thought that Cheng's father and mother would come downstairs after taking a shower, but he didn't expect them to come down.

Needless to say, it must be because I didn’t get enough rest these days, or maybe I was too tired.

It was past nine o'clock when Li Le went upstairs to rest.

As for Li Qingcheng and Nie Weiwei, of course they did not come to accompany Li Le.

It’s not that Li Le doesn’t want them to accompany him, but he is occupied by Ye Qi and Li Xin, so Li Le can only stay alone in the empty room.

The next morning, Li Le got up very early and prepared to go outside to exercise.

But as soon as I opened the door of the villa, a chill hit me.

Only then did Li Le realize that it had started drizzling at some point in the night, also known as freezing rain.

Whether it was the ground or the branches, they were all covered with ice, especially the trees, which were all white.

If they hadn't seen the ice on the ground, many people would have thought it was snowing.

Although Li Le and his family live in the borderland between the north and the south, the winter is not particularly cold. The coldest temperature is only about ten degrees below zero.

But it is an exception when it comes to rain, because every time it goes downhill, the temperature is at least minus ten degrees Celsius.

"Wow, it's so cold today!" The old man also came out of the villa at this time.

The old man now exercises every morning and gets up early.

"Grandpa, it's raining today, otherwise don't exercise today."

"That won't work. Besides, we exercise because we're cold. We won't be cold in a while." "But grandpa, the road is icy. Don't fall."

The old man glanced at the ground and said, "Really? How about this! Let's not exercise outside today. Let's go upstairs and exercise."

The upstairs that the old man was referring to was of course the third floor where Li Le lived.

Except for Li Le's bedroom, the rest of the space on the third floor can basically be used for exercise.

Of course, the audio-visual room is excluded.

"Okay, Grandpa. Please take the elevator up."

"Why take the elevator? Climbing the stairs is also a form of exercise."

"Uh!" Li Le was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

The old man went back in, and Li Le was the only one left outside.

Cold weather may be very uncomfortable for others, but for Li Le, it is nothing.

The ice on the ground was not very thick, only about half a centimeter, which meant that the fall was not serious.

Li Le has encountered this before. It was raining heavily and there was ice more than ten centimeters thick on the ground. Many trees could not bear the weight and fell down.

As for the branches, there is no need to mention them, basically all of them are broken. Wherever there are trees, there are many broken branches on the ground.

Li Le returned to the villa and pressed the wall next to the entrance to open the outside door.

Then he walked out of the villa and ran outside.

Run out of the island in the middle of the lake first, then start running along the road.

Although there was ice on the road, it had no effect on Li Le.

Soon Li Le ran to the national highway and then ran along the village.

More than an hour later, Li Le returned to the villa, and he didn't know how many laps he had run around the village.

"Where have you been so early in the morning? Go wash up and eat."

As soon as Li Le entered the villa, he met his sister Li Xin.

"I went for a run. Is dinner ready?"

Hearing Li Le say this, Li Xin rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm just waiting for you."

"Okay! I'll go wash up now."

It was a bit exaggerated for Li Xin to say that she was waiting for him alone, because if the meal was really ready, she would definitely not wait for him.

At most everyone would eat first and leave some for him. How could they really wait for him?

The reason why Li Xin said this was probably because dinner was about to start and the whole family had already gotten up and were waiting for it.

Li Le climbed up to the third floor, quickly washed up in the bathroom, and then went downstairs.

At this time, breakfast has been served on the table, including big fragrant buns and soybean porridge.

Actually, it is noodle porridge with soybeans in it. To be honest, this kind of porridge tastes really delicious.

Li Le didn’t know what it was called elsewhere, but here they called it soybean porridge.

"Morning, Uncle Cheng!"

"Good morning, aunt!"

"morning!"

Breakfast is simple, with only steamed buns and soybean porridge, nothing else.

Of course, there are still side dishes, such as pickles.

Li Le and his friends waited until the old man and the old lady sat down before they sat down. They also waited until the old man started eating before they started eating.

You know what, today’s buns are really good. They come with different fillings, including cabbage and tofu, pork and green onion, and beef.

Everyone in Li Le’s family likes spicy food, so no matter what the filling is, a lot of chili oil is added to it, which makes it taste better.

People who like spicy food know that the spicier it is, the more they want to eat it.

Even Cheng's father and mother ate several of them. I guess they didn't usually eat so much.

Not only that, everyone also drank a large bowl of soybean porridge.

After dinner, everyone went to the living room to chat.

Father Cheng called Li Le aside and asked, "Xiao Le, you asked your aunt and I to stay for the New Year. Do your parents know?"

"Uncle Cheng, since you asked that, of course my parents know! And they welcome you and Auntie to stay."

Hearing what Li Le said, Cheng's father said, "In that case, your aunt and I will stay."

"That's great."

Dad Cheng has already made up his mind that it would be better to stay here than to go back to the capital and spend the New Year in a lonely and deserted way.

Because Li Le's family was so lively, they had never had such a lively New Year before.

Grandpa, grandma, mom, dad, uncle and aunt have agreed to stay for the New Year." Li Le ran to the living room and shouted.

"Really?" asked Li's mother.

"It's true. We discussed it and decided to stay here to celebrate the New Year. It's more crowded and lively here," said Cheng's mother.

Mother Li: “That’s great.”

"By the way, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll prepare it in advance."

"No need, just a home-cooked meal will do." Mother Cheng said quickly.

"Sister-in-law, do you have sesame leaves?" Father Cheng asked at this time.

"You want to eat sesame leaf bean noodles?"

"Yes, yes, yes. If not, forget it." Father Cheng said quickly.

"You know what, this is real. Grandpa loves to eat this, so there is still a lot of it at home."

It’s Chinese New Year, if it were someone else’s house, you definitely wouldn’t be able to find this thing, because even if it was available, it would probably have been eaten by now.

But Li Le's family is different, because the old man likes to eat it, not every day, but every now and then.

So Li Le’s family gets a lot of sesame leaves every year.

Sesame leaf and bean noodles. Since sesame leaves are involved, bean noodles must be indispensable.

This is not the kind of bean noodles sold outside. The bean noodles sold outside would be lucky if they contained one-tenth of bean noodles.

Li Lejia’s noodles are pure bean noodles.

The bean noodles taste so delicious, especially when you add some sesame leaves, it tastes even better.

Anyway, Li Le really likes to eat it.

"How about this, I'll make some for lunch, whoever likes it can eat it."

"So you also like to eat sesame leaf bean noodles?" The old man looked at Cheng's father and asked.

"Yes, old man. I ate it once before in a restaurant in the imperial capital and thought it was very delicious."

The old man nodded and said, "It is indeed delicious, but few people in this family like to eat it."

After hearing what the old man said, Dad Li's expression became unnatural. There was nothing he could do about it because he just didn't like to eat it.

Not only Mr. Li, but even the old lady doesn't like to eat it.

There are only three people eating at this house, including the old man, and the other three are Li Ma and Li Le.

"Mom, I'm going to town later."

Mother Li turned around and looked at Li Le and asked, "Why are you still going to town at this time?"

Today is the 27th day of the lunar calendar. Chinese New Year is in three days. I have already bought everything I need for my family.

"I'll go buy some firecrackers. It wouldn't be a lively New Year without them." Li Le said, scratching his head.

"Your father has already bought the firecrackers." (End of this chapter)
