Chapter 397 So Naturally Serving Him

After browsing the photos, Zhong Nana went downstairs with Li Yingtang.

I sat on the sofa and watched TV to pass the time.

After Jia Yan and Jia Qingfeng finished pasting the couplets, they knocked on the door of the main house.

"Yingtang, we're leaving now."

Li Yingtang: "Wait, could you clean up my backyard?" The aunties are on holiday, and the chicken and duck coop in the backyard is empty and no one is cleaning it: "My dog ​​also needs to be walked."

There are few residents on Xian'an Road.

She lets the dog out to roam freely at night.

We moved here, and there are houses all around us.

Just to be on the safe side, it was always tethered.

The aunties take the dogs out every morning and evening.

She's been letting it play in the yard since no one's been taking care of it for the past couple of days.

This morning she went to the chicken coop to get eggs, but one of the two chickens was missing. She wondered if it had eaten them.

“Okay, Qingfeng, go walk the dog,” Jia Yan said.

"Eh."

Li Yingtang handed the dog leash to Jia Qingfeng and found the rubber shoes and apron that Qin Xian wore for Jia Yan: "Xian, you and he are about the same size, so you should be able to wear them, right?"

"I'll try it." Jia Yan changed his shoes and put on his apron, then smiled and said, "It fits perfectly."

Li Yingtang led Jia Yan to the backyard: "Thank you for your hard work."

Back to the front yard.

Zhong Nana exclaimed in shock, "You actually ordered Uncle Jia and Qingfeng around, and you did it so naturally!"

Li Yingtang replied matter-of-factly, "What's wrong? Shouldn't a father and brother take care of their daughter-in-law and sister-in-law?"

"That's not a good idea."

“What’s wrong with that? Oh, right, I also need to ask my father-in-law to make dumplings for me. I finished the dumplings he made last time, and the ones Auntie makes don’t taste very good.” Li Yingtang went to the backyard again: “Uncle Jia.”

Zhong Nana was incredulous and prepared to listen to what Li Yingtang had to say.

Li Yingtang was very direct, and said to the busy Jia Yan, "I want to eat the beef dumplings you make. When are you going to make some more?"

"I was planning to tell you something. It's inconvenient for you to cook New Year's Eve dinner by yourself at home. So this year I won't go to the old house. Qingfeng and I will eat here at your place. We'll make dumplings tomorrow."

"Sure, you're welcome anytime." Li Yingtang couldn't go to the Li family's house.

Zhong Nana is oblivious to social cues; when she's with this person, she has to serve them.

With them around, she can save a lot of effort.

Jia Yan's gaze fell on Zhong Nana behind Li Yingtang: "Miss Zhong, aren't you busy at home during the New Year?" What are you doing here tomorrow, New Year's Eve?
Zhong Nana said awkwardly, "It's alright."

Jia Yan didn't ask any more questions and lowered his head to do his own thing.

Li Yingtang returned to the living room.

Zhong Nana said, "Uncle Jia can even make dumplings?"

"Yes, he's a very good cook."

Zhong Nana: "Does he often come over to cook for you?"

"I've only made dumplings here once. I went to his house once before, and he cooked for me there," Li Yingtang answered every question.

Does your partner cook?

"Yes, he did all the housework before we moved into this house. So, I don't quite understand why you fawn over Comrade Zhu. He lives and eats on your property, and you might even have to subsidize him, right? Why doesn't he serve you?" Li Yingtang, who had been holding back since last night, finally found a suitable opportunity to speak ill of Zhu Youqing.

Zhong Nana also didn't understand: "If you like someone, shouldn't you make sacrifices for them?"

"Always giving? How should I put it? In my eyes, marriage is a transaction. My giving needs to be reciprocated. If Ah-Xian ignores me and neglects me, I will immediately turn to someone else." Li Yingtang said slowly.

"Huh? That means you don't love me enough."

Li Yingtang: "Love is a two-way street. He loves me, so I can love him. If he doesn't love me, I'll just play with him. When I get tired of him, I'll just throw him away."

Zhong Nana's perspective was shattered: "I'm afraid my parents would beat me to death for this."

Li Yingtang said quietly, "You've severed ties with your parents, so why didn't they beat you to death?"

Zhong Nana: "."

"Yingtang, the dog's been walked and is leashed. The postman just delivered a package at the door; it looks like it was from Xiaoxian." Jia Qingfeng finished speaking in one breath, handing over the package. "Is Dad inside?" "In the backyard."

Jia Qingfeng is gone.

Li Yingtang checked the package and confirmed that it was indeed sent by Qin Xian.

His name is his pinyin.

She opened the packaging.

Besides the books she asked him to buy, there was also a thick envelope.

What's so thick?

Li Yingtang tore open the seal; besides the letter, there was also a stack of postcards.

She read the letter.

Looking at the photos, including the landmark buildings, Zhong Nana said, "When I graduated from university, my dad took me here on a business trip abroad, and we took photos at the time."

While silently reading the letter, Li Yingtang didn't forget to respond to Zhong Nana: "You graduated from university several years ago, didn't you? Going abroad must be quite difficult, right? In that situation, your dad was able to take you abroad to broaden your horizons, following Comrade Zhu, but he didn't take you home for the New Year."

Now that we have ID cards, we no longer need to carry letters of introduction when we go out.

Zhong Nana: "Doesn't your boyfriend also not take you along?"

“I need to explain this. Ah-Xian wanted to stay with the child and not leave, but I told him to choose his career. Because if I had that opportunity, I definitely wouldn’t hesitate. He wanted to take me with him and even wrote an application.” Li Yingtang said to prove the credibility of her words.

He rushed upstairs and pulled out the application for accompanying his child to study that Qin Xian had written.

I stomped downstairs.

He walked up to Zhong Nana and said, "I rejected him outright. Being with him meant giving up my budding career in China. I wouldn't do that. No one in the world is worth giving up myself for. To me, men are just icing on the cake."

She gestured to Zhong Nana, who immediately straightened up.

Treat Zhu Youqing as a dispensable plaything and watch how he lives off her.

Zhong Nana didn't understand, but she started comparing other people's partners with her own.

After reading the letter, Li Yingtang admired the photos one by one.

The background is familiar; it's a postcard the journal sent him after his paper was accepted.

He actually found it and took a picture.

When Jia Yan's voice came from outside the door, she went out and said, "Come in and sit down."

Jia Yan: "No, let's go back first and come back tomorrow."

"Wait a minute." Li Yingtang turned and went into the house, picking out two photos of Qin Xian for him: "Ah Xian just sent them. In the letter, she said that her studies are going well so far and she gets along very well with her classmates and teachers."

Jia Yan took the photo.

The young man captured by the camera has bright eyes and is handsome and energetic.

Life outside must be very comfortable.

He was pleased: "It's obvious that he's doing very well outside."

"."

After Jia Yan and his son left.

Zhong Nana also said goodbye: "I've thought about it, and I think it's better to go home."

Jia Yan and the others will come back tomorrow to see her again.

He was definitely suspicious and asked her all sorts of questions. If she hesitated or stammered, Jia Yan would become suspicious and call her father to tell him that she was at Li Yingtang's house.

Her father must have someone negotiate with Li Yingtang.

Li Yingtang, fearing trouble, would definitely kick her out.

They might not even rent her a house.

Then she will have one less place to go.

Li Yingtang thought she had come to her senses: "Okay, come over and visit sometime."

"Okay." Zhong Nana plans to come back on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

If Li Yingtang doesn't go out to pay New Year's visits, she will stay.

If she wanted to visit relatives for the New Year, she would just stay in her rented room for a while.
