Neighbors are cute today too

Chapter 171 I'm Not Losing Anyway (Please Subscribe)

After spending half a day together, Lin Lu and his future father-in-law and future mother-in-law barely had a good time talking. Compared with the politeness and restraint of each other when they first met, it is obvious that they are much more natural when getting along now.

For Lin Lu and Limin Chen Yingping, the relationship between each other is naturally not a simple model of "guests come as guests and hosts entertain". Because of Li Xingruo, they may become a family in the future. Fortunately, after contact, both sides We are very satisfied with each other, and we are getting more and more like each other when we chat.

The duck and geese were ready, and the mother and daughter were busy in the kitchen. Lin Lu accompanied Uncle Li to drink tea and chat in the living room. Uncle Li was not so restrained at the moment, and lifted his feet on the sofa as in the past. He was holding a few blueprints in his hand, which were plans for redecorating his home next year. Knowing that Lin Lu was engaged in design, he brought them over to discuss with him.

There are also many types of design, such as interior design, graphic design, advertising design, etc. Uncle Li naturally does not understand these. Hearing that Lin Lu is engaged in design, he thinks that he should also understand interior design, just like his family members. Anyone who learns programming will repair computers.

However, Uncle Li was right about this point. Although Lin Lu did not specialize in interior design, he had done some research. After all, the core of his talent lies in aesthetics. Uncle Li talked about decoration in a clear way.

In order to facilitate communication, Lin Lu stopped sitting across from the coffee table, and simply sat next to the old man, took a pencil to simply write and draw on the drawings, and chatted with Uncle Li about his ideas and suggestions.

He is very keen on the use of space and the creation of aesthetic feeling. Every time he said something, he could accurately poke the old man's heart. When Uncle Li took out the drawings at the beginning, he just rushed to find something to talk about casually. It's just chatting, but I didn't expect that the more I listened now, the more serious I became. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Lin Lu's suggestions were really good.

"Look, Uncle Li, when I enter the house, the first thing I think of is the space, not the color. It's not a problem if the color is lighter, because the anger comes from the people in the house. The most important feeling of home is leisure and freedom. I simply draw a Take a look at the picture..."

"Xiaolin has a good idea..."

The current decoration of the house was more than ten or twenty years ago. Now that Li Xingruo has graduated, she has an income to support herself. Uncle Li saved some money and wanted to renovate this self-built small building. A few drawings were also designed by a friend from an outside decoration company. Compared with this kind of template decoration design, Lin Lu's design gave Uncle Li a refreshing feeling.

Lin Lu took a pencil to write and draw, and made his suggestions and modifications on the original drawings. With his solid art skills, he quickly put his ideas on paper, which looked simple and clean, but did not feel cold. The home design is also based on practicality, using simple lines and strong color contrasts to fully present the beauty of the space, bringing a sense of leisure, cleanliness, pleasure, elegance, wideness, softness and leisure.

Probably this is the most intuitive manifestation of Lin Lu's ability. On weekdays, my daughter often praised him for being good at drawing and designing, but Uncle Li was at a loss for hearing it until he saw it with his own eyes. The young man who was younger than his daughter looked at him with admiration.

Uncle Li himself also runs a hardware store, and he is very keen on the cost of decoration materials. He did some calculations. If he followed Lin Lu's idea, the cost could even be reduced by [-] to [-] percent, but the effect of the decoration would have to be improved. a lot.

"oops……"

Uncle Li slapped his thigh, looking a little annoyed.

"What's wrong, Uncle Li?"

Lin Lu was stunned for a moment, thinking that Uncle Li was not satisfied with such a design.

"Damn, if I knew you had this ability, Xiaolin, I would ask you to help me with the design drawings. These drawings cost me a lot of money. Fortunately, you came in time. I will follow your suggestion next year." Go get it, there may still be a lot of places that need to be consulted by you.”

"What did Uncle Li say? I am also the opinion of my family. I am honored that Uncle Li can like it. Don't worry, Uncle Li. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time. Why don't we add a Wechat account to select materials later? , I can also help Uncle Li take a look."

"Okay! Xiaolin is really good. I said it's no wonder you are still studying. You can earn so much by working part-time. You are really capable."

The relationship between men is based on working together. With the topic of decoration, Lin Lu and Uncle Li chatted a lot. He successfully added the old man’s WeChat, and Uncle Li took him to visit the second and third floors, including In every room and every corner of the house, the two men chatted in full swing.

Unconsciously, it was approaching one o'clock. Lin Lu and Uncle Li were looking at the dimensions of the house on the third floor, when Li Xingruo shouted from the corridor: "It's time to eat! Where are you going?!"

"Xiao Lin, let's eat first and talk to you about this. Uncle, I suddenly realized that I am a rough person. Let me think about these details by myself. Not satisfactory, hey, you have a good eye."

"Uncle Li won the award. I usually like to make troubles. I also want to get married in the future. When the time comes, I will design and decorate the house by myself, so I learned a little more."

"Okay, okay, it's a long-term consideration, good thing!"

The two men went downstairs together. If it wasn't for their different identities, or if they were about the same age, they probably would have hooked up shoulder to shoulder.

Although he is not very old, he is talented and capable, has plans for the future, and has a modest and restrained temperament. Li Min really likes this young man more and more the more he looks at him.

When he went downstairs, Li Min took back the blueprint that Lin Lu had revised for him back into the room, and Li Xingruo, who was at the side, approached Lin Lu with a strange expression and asked in a low voice, "What have you been talking about with my dad? How can we talk so well? Before you If the two of you sit together, you can't even talk nonsense..."

"No, I just chatted with Uncle Li about decoration."

"He talked to you about this?"

"That's right, didn't Uncle Li talk to you? He said that he would find time to renovate the house after the Chinese New Year."

"I know, he's very stubborn, he doesn't think my opinion and my mother's opinion are good enough, can he listen to your opinion?"

"I'm a professional!"

Lin Lu straightened his back proudly.

"...You are so beautiful! Go wash your hands and help my mother serve the food!"

Li Xingruo pinched him secretly, no matter what the two men were talking about, but seeing them talking so speculatively, she also felt relieved and relieved a lot, after all, whoever doesn't want to bring home a man can also get his father Mom likes it.

This is different from making friends. If you want to integrate into a family, you can't make a sound with just a slap. There is a lot of knowledge in it.

After successfully surviving the tense and embarrassing period when they first met each other, Lin Lu's charm gradually emerged, sounded the horn of attack, and frequently began to score goals in the hearts of the future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Li Xingruo wiped the table and glass turntable with a rag, Li Min opened a bottle of wine and a bottle of orange juice, Chen Yingping cut up the marinated duck and goose in the kitchen and neatly put them on a plate, and Lin Lu was busy helping to serve the dishes.

"It's so rich, Auntie! It's all my favorite food!"

"That's right, I asked Xiao Ruo yesterday, she said you like braised pig's trotters, so Auntie will make you a pot to try. Today, the braised duck is also very good, Auntie will cut a duck leg for you two."

"Okay, I haven't eaten duck legs for many years. I usually give them to my younger sister. I didn't expect to have duck legs at Auntie's place today!"

"What is this? Xiao Lin comes here often when he is free. Auntie always leaves duck legs for you."

"Auntie's cooking is really good, no wonder Xingruo's cooking is so delicious, it smells so good!"

"Then Xiao Lin, you should eat more later. You don't have dinner so early tonight. If you don't eat enough, you will be hungry."

"Of course! Auntie put the chopping board and pot first, I will wash them later, and eat first."

"It's okay, it's okay, Xiaolin, you eat first, you don't have to be polite when you are your own."

Lunch is very rich. There are braised duck, braised goose, boiled chicken, and Liangxi’s special Taihu Lake boat dishes with white fish, white shrimp, beautiful crab, and fat turtle as cooking ingredients, as well as shrimp crackers, braised pork feet, and crispy whitebait , plus a stir-fried vegetables.

Four people can eat these eight dishes and one soup. They definitely can't finish it, but the visual impact is still quite big. Lin Lu also felt the deep love of Li Xingruo's family.

He usually doesn't take pictures when he eats out, so he can't help but take out his phone to take a picture of the sumptuous meals at home. After all, this is the first time he came to Liangxi Xingruo's house to eat the meals. , very commemorative.

For Chen Yingping, who cooks, Lin Lu likes these dishes and took out his mobile phone to take pictures, which is a great recognition.

The seats are also where Li Xingruo's family often sits on weekdays. Uncle Li sits in the main seat, and Lin Lu sits next to Li Xingruo. Although the two of them will secretly get intimate at a place where the elders can't see, they are still very close at the dinner table. Reserved and not showing affection, they picked up food for each other, but Uncle Li and Aunt Chen would occasionally use a shared spoon to pick up food for Lin Lu. Every time at this time, Lin Lu quickly took the food with the bowl in both hands.

Lin Lu was glad that he came early today, if he came here after the meal time, and sat at the dining table together just after meeting, then he would definitely not have a solid meal.

After getting along for a long time, we got to know each other a lot better, and we ate this meal comfortably and naturally. Everyone talked and laughed around the dinner table, chatting about trivial things like work and life in daily life. No one is going to bring up topics like urging marriage and urging to find a partner.

Lin Lu is not stupid, if the elders don't mention it, then he will not talk about these things stupidly, after all, it is the first time we meet, lest the atmosphere be pushed to the stage of talking about marriage, it will be awkward , since it is the stage of understanding, then learn more and get along with each other more. When it is time to mention it, the elders will naturally say it.

"Xiao Lin, if you still have to drive, uncle won't pour you wine. You can use this orange juice instead of wine and have a couple of glasses with uncle."

"I want what I want!"

Lin Lu quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks, raised the orange juice in his hand, and toasted Uncle Li.

Although Uncle Li and Aunt Chen are not very educated, they are very comfortable in the world. They know that Lin Lu doesn't drink alcohol, and they won't use alcohol to make things difficult for him. There is a lot of care in their words, and it is probably such a tolerant and harmonious family environment. That's why she gave birth to Sister Xingruo's gentle and kind character.

Gentle and kind, pure and spiritual, not vanity or complaining, these sounds like simple things, in fact, every adjective is rarer than adjectives such as beautiful, highly educated, and rich. After all, this is the soil of the original family. The seeds that come out, and these are the unique shining points of Li Xingruo, including her family, that shine brightly in Lin Lu's eyes.

After this sumptuous and home-cooked lunch, the relationship between each other has drawn a lot closer.

After the meal, Lin Lu took the initiative to help clean the table and clean up the dishes. Before he could wash the dishes, Aunt Chen smiled and said no. Lin Lu couldn't be polite to her, so she had to go to the tea table to accompany Uncle Li drink tea.

Uncle Li made new tea again, and the two continued to chat about the decoration.

By the time Chen Yingping and Li Xingruo came out after washing the dishes, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon before they knew it.

"Xiao Lin, tonight her uncles will go back to the village together for the festival, and you will come with her to see her grandparents. Don't go back to southern Jiangsu at night. You will stay with my aunt for two days, and you two will be together again the day after tomorrow." go back."

"I'm afraid of disturbing Uncle Li and Auntie..."

"Hey, where is it? Usually, her father and I are at home. Apart from opening the shop, it is deserted. You come back with Xiao Ruo to be lively and lively. Auntie wishes you to come more. Xiao Ruo, take Xiao Lin upstairs to rest and clean up. Luggage, your dad and I will go back to the village to help out later, and you two will go back together in about the same time."

"Oh! I see, by the way, Mom, I put all the gifts brought by Lin Lu in your room, and you can clean them up later!"

"Xiao Lin, don't bring so many things with you when you come here next time! You are so polite!"

"Sure, then Uncle and Aunt Li, I'll go upstairs to rest for a while."

"well."

Li Xingruo walked in front, Lin Lu followed her, and they went upstairs together.

The balconies on the second and third floors float out. The overall area is much larger than that of the first floor. The living room is extraordinarily spacious. Li Xingruo usually lives on the second floor, and there are not too many miscellaneous things. There are three rooms in total, which is omitted. After the kitchen, the space becomes even bigger.

When Lin Lu walked into the second floor, he immediately felt refreshed and free, not only because of the large space here, but also because he left the sight of Uncle Li and Aunt Chen, the pressure on his body dissipated, and he felt relieved. With a sigh of relief, he lay down on the soft sofa and didn't want to move for a long time.

"Sister Xingruo, why is your sofa so soft and so comfortable to lie on?"

Lin Lu couldn't help sighing, probably because he had been sitting on the solid wooden sofa on the first floor for a long time, his muscles and spirits were tense, and now lying on the soft sofa made him feel as comfortable as lying on a cloud.

"Then you'll sleep on the sofa tonight!"

"Okay, I don't mind."

"Get up and pack your things, big slob—!"

Not to mention that Lin Lu felt much more at ease, Li Xingruo also felt much more at ease, after all, the second floor was her territory, and if she brought the man she loved to her territory, wouldn't that be up to her?
"I can't move anymore, let me lie down again..."

"My dad is here...!"

Li Xingruo, who was at the door of the living room, glanced down the corridor and whispered to Lin Lu.

Lin Lu's movements were very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, he changed from Ge You's lying posture to sitting upright, letting the sofa be soft, and his waist was also straight.

Li Xingruo was annoyed and funny, thinking that his older sister had really failed more and more, Lin Lu was not afraid of her at all now, her deterrent power was actually not as good as her father? !
After she closed the door of the living room, Lin Lu realized that it was Uncle Li who was coming up, she was obviously playing tricks on him!

"Oh—sister Xingruo, don't make trouble!"

Lin Lu groaned and lay back on the sofa again.

"Get up...get up..."

"I'm sorry, I'm exhausted, I haven't slept much since last night..."

"Nonsense, you obviously look very energetic!"

Li Xingruo stretched out his soft little hand to grab his big hand, trying to pull him up from the sofa, the two of them were very reserved in front of their parents, they didn't even dare to hold their little hands.

Now that Uncle Li and Aunt Chen are not here, Lin Lu's courage grew. With a strong backhand, Li Xingruo screamed in a low voice, and then he was pulled into his arms, and then he rolled over and lay down with her in his arms. on the sofa.

"You're crazy! This is my house!"

"Hey, sister Xingruo was very courageous when she kissed me before, now I know it's at your house?"

She writhed in his arms like a mermaid, Lin Lu not only did not let go, but also hugged her tighter, his head was like a little mole, sniffing the fragrance of her neck, he kept pushing towards her Arch of the neck.

Li Xingruo was so tickled by his actions, he was ashamed and annoyed, startled and laughed, but he didn't dare to make too much noise, his little heart seemed to have a deer in it, jumping almost out of his throat His eyes popped out, probably the parents downstairs would never have imagined that his daughter would be bullied by him like this upstairs.

"You, how dare you? I'm going to shout!"

"Don't shout, sister Xingruo doesn't want to be seen by Uncle Li and Auntie either."

Before she could shout out, Lin Lu lowered his head and blocked her mouth.

She was lying flat on the sofa like this, he supported the sofa with one hand, and grabbed her two little hands with the other hand, bullying her wordlessly, trying to relieve the nervousness that had lasted most of the day.

Isn't this painstaking effort just for the sake of Ruobao in his arms, how can I not ask for a little reward.

After replenishing his sister's energy, Lin Lu was alive and well again, that is, Li Xingruo became him just now, lying softly on the sofa, covering his flushed pretty face with his hands, and he hasn't recovered for a long time.

Compared with being shameless with him in Sunan on weekdays, doing these things at home is obviously more heart-pounding.

It is estimated that when she came back on May [-]st, she would never have imagined that she would bring him with her when she came back next Mid-Autumn Festival, and she would be ashamed to be at home with him like this, but thinking about it was like a dream.

Li Xingruo blushed and pulled up the hem of his clothes, Lin Lu looked away guiltily, but still received a jio and a pillow attack.

All in all, no loss.
