Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

When Ran Qiuye saw that Li Dongfang was not upset because she broke the appointment, she immediately said happily: "Okay, let's have dinner at my house tonight!"

As he spoke, he put his arm around Li Dongfang's arm, but immediately realized that his careless action had exposed his little thoughts, so he quickly let go and quickly got into the car.

When I arrived at Ran Qiuye's house, I saw Ran's father sitting in the house smoking dejectedly, and Ran's mother was staring at him with an unhappy look on her face.

As soon as he saw this, Li Dongfang knew that Ran's father must have been hit hard, so he asked, "Uncle, what happened?"

When Ran's mother saw Li Dongfang coming, a smile immediately appeared on her face and said, "Dongfang is here, don't worry about this old man and all his relatives, haha." As Ran's mother spoke, she gave Ran's father a mocking look.

Father Ran reluctantly nodded to Li Dongfang and continued smoking.

Li Dongfang winked at Ran Qiuye, and Ran Qiuye asked her mother, "Mom, what's going on? Why is my dad like this?"

Ran's mother snorted before she began to describe their journey to the countryside.

Those relatives who came to borrow grain spoke very nicely when they borrowed it. They said that if we helped them now, they would do their best to help them when they had difficulties in the future.

As a result, the old couple found out when they arrived that those people's families were not as poor as they said, and they even ate better than the Ran family. As soon as the old couple opened their mouths to say that there were difficulties at home, those people immediately turned hostile and directly drove them out, saying sarcastically and unpleasant things.

There are also families who clearly have no shortage of food, vegetables, and even meat, but they just lie and cry poor, and get rejected in every way.

In the end, it was Ran's father's brothers who pooled some money together, which made Ran's father feel better.

However, this time, Mr. Ran was obviously hit hard, and he looked depressed when he returned home.

Li Dongfang had anticipated this situation and was not surprised at all. After all, it went without saying that a distant relative who had the audacity to come and borrow grain was definitely not a good person.

He comforted Ran's father and said, "Uncle, there is no need for you to be upset because of those people. There is no need. Just see their true colors."

"Dongfang, we're not complaining about that little bit of food or anything. We just feel angry and frustrated." Ran's mother said from the side.

After hearing this, Mr. Ran nodded, indicating that he agreed with his wife's words.

"Uncle, aunt, don't worry about this. If you feel uncomfortable if you can't get rid of this anger, I'll give you an idea. It will definitely make you feel better and make those people jealous and regretful." Li Dongfang thought for a while and comforted the two.

After hearing what Li Dongfang said, Ran Qiuye probably guessed what Li Dongfang was up to. She tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered in his ear, "You're not going to take something and let my parents show off in the countryside, are you?"

Li Dongfang smiled and nodded directly. Although he was not trying to show off, the meaning was almost the same.

Ran's mother was close to the two of them and vaguely heard what they said. She also said, "This is not good. You can't show off so high-profile. What kind of person would you be then?"

Upon hearing this, Ran's father also looked at them curiously, obviously not understanding what they meant at once.

Li Dongfang hesitated for a moment and said, "We are not showing off. We are just expressing our gratitude to those who lend a hand when we are in trouble. Think about it, when we are in trouble, those who lend a hand should be thanked. We should also let others know that we are different from those who take advantage of others."

"Yes! That's how it should be!" This was the first time that Father Ran spoke since Li Dongfang came in.

Mother Ran was still hesitant and asked, "How about... we just bring less stuff with us?"

Li Dongfang listened and smiled, "Auntie, don't worry about the stuff. I'll move it in for you later. It's in the back of my car. And we must not bring less stuff, but more valuable stuff. This way, we can let those people know that they regret it, and also let those who are willing to help us know that we are grateful."

Seeing that Ran's mother was still trying to refuse, Li Dongfang quickly touched Ran Qiuye with his arm and signaled with his eyes that she should help persuade her.

Ran Qiuye hesitated for a moment, thinking of the hot pot at Li Dongfang's house yesterday. Not to mention the large plates of meat, even the ice beer was not something that ordinary people could get. It was obvious that Li Dongfang didn't care much about these things, so she persuaded him, "Mom, don't refuse. Dongfang doesn't lack these things. Later, our family will show off for a while and let those people see what it means to repay a favor."

After hearing what her daughter said, Ran's mother thought that Li Dongfang would be her son-in-law in the future, and it was only natural for her family to give the things given by the son-in-law, so she nodded and said, "Then let's do as Dongfang says, old man?"

Father Ran probably understood it now, thought about it and nodded, "Then... Dongfang has spent money again."

Li Dongfang quickly waved his hand and said, "Uncle, you are being too polite. We are a family, do we really need to say these things?"

When Ran Qiuye heard this, she immediately pushed Li Dongfang and glared at him coquettishly.

The old couple smiled when they saw the two's little actions.

There is nothing much to say about the meal afterwards. Now that the troubles have been resolved, I naturally enjoyed the meal.

Even Lin Shu ate an extra bowl of rice thanks to Ran Qiuye's warm hospitality.

After the meal, Li Dongfang said goodbye and Ran Qiuye saw him out. Looking at Ran Qiuye's pink lips, Li Dongfang suddenly remembered something. He mysteriously took out a lip balm from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "Your lips are usually quite dry when you teach. Try this and it won't be so in the future."

The reason why Li Dongfang thought of lip balm was that he always thought of the pink lips of the female anchors in the Douyin show in later generations. Ever since he met Ran Qiuye, Li Dongfang has been thinking about letting her apply transparent lip gloss so that he could try it himself. It's just that there has never been a beauty store, so he has been delayed. Today, he suddenly had an idea and it is not impossible to use lip balm instead. Pink and shiny lips, isn't that what it tastes like?

Ran Qiuye, who had little experience in makeup, clumsily applied lip balm on her lips and asked Li Dongfang with a pout.

Li Dongfang looked at those pink lips and didn't have time to care about anything else. He just lowered his head and kissed her.

Ran Qiuye's body suddenly froze, his eyes widened, and he actually forgot to struggle for the first moment.

When Li Dongfang's tongue touched her teeth, she finally reacted, pushed Li Dongfang away, turned around and ran back home.

Li Dongfang smiled and looked at Ran Qiuye's panicked back. He was secretly proud of himself when he was interrupted by Lin Shu's cold snort.

Li Dongfang glanced at her, then continued to watch Ran Qiuye enter the house before getting into the car.
