Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 91 If Someone Sees

The lunch was particularly sumptuous. Zhang Meifeng felt sorry for Xu Qinghuan, so she made a big bowl of braised pork and a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms.

In Li Shouzhi's words, it was even more sumptuous than Chinese New Year. "Your aunt is just too lazy to make me something delicious. Today, I still owe it to you. It's a pity that it's not evening, otherwise I could have another two taels of wine."

Zhang Meifeng put a piece of mushroom into Li Shouzhi's bowl with her chopsticks. "Eat your food. I can't stop you from eating. How can you drink alcohol in your body?"

Li Shouzhi had many hidden injuries and was craving for alcohol every day. He felt pain all over his body after drinking.

He picked up another large chicken drumstick and gave it to Xu Qinghuan. "Huanhuan, come here and eat more. You look so skinny! This strong Northeast wind will blow you away."

Xu Qinghuan pinched the chicken leg, thanked Zhang Meifeng, and then told Li Shouzhi, "Uncle, please don't drink for the next few days. Wait until you finish taking those four pills, then you can drink."

Li Shouzhi was immediately overjoyed. "Okay, okay, look, Huanhuan said I can drink. I still have three pills. After I take them, I'm going to find someone to have a drinking contest with. I'm going to give those guys who rely on their youth and look down on me a run for their money."

Zhang Meifeng was furious and slapped Li Shouzhi. "We're eating, what are you talking about?"

Li Shouzhi chuckled, and Xu Qinghuan found it quite interesting. She could see that Uncle Li and Aunt Li had a very good relationship. It was the first time she saw such an intimate couple. They could understand each other's thoughts with just a glance, and their every move hid the deep affection that had accumulated over the years and grown stronger with time.

Her heart was deeply touched. It turned out that in this world, there are not only couples who become enemies and hate each other, but also couples who are together for the sake of interests and are physically together but spiritually estranged. There are also couples who support each other and grow old together.

How enviable!

Xu Qinghuan also laughed. After the meal, she ate a lot and her stomach was full.

Zhang Meifeng also packed two lunch boxes for her: one for braised pork in red sauce and one for stewed chicken with mushrooms. "I served these separately after they were cooked. I haven't touched my chopsticks yet. You can take them back and eat them."

Xu Qinghuan was embarrassed. Zhang Meifeng pretended to be angry and said, "I treat you as my daughter. You are being so distant with your aunt. I will be unhappy."

Li Shouzhi also said, "You gave me such a good pill, shouldn't I take it?"

Xu Qinghuan also felt that it would be too hurtful to refuse, and she was extremely grateful.

Thinking about my father whom I have never met, he must have been a very charismatic man. He has been gone for so many years, but his comrades-in-arms have never forgotten to take care of his orphan.

"Come often in the future. If you don't come, your aunt will go to the countryside to see you." Zhang Meifeng reminded.

"I'll come." Xu Qinghuan quickly assured.

Li Shouzhi wanted to arrange a car to take her, but Xu Qinghuan quickly refused. "I'm with my friends from the educated youth site. There's a lot of us, so we came here on the production team's tractor. Next time I come alone, and my uncle can arrange a car to take me."

After sending Xu Qinghuan out of the family compound, Zhang Meifeng returned and asked Li Shouzhi, "What pills did Huanhuan give you?"

Li Shouzhi didn't say much, just beckoned Zhang Meifeng over and made her a pot of tea, "Try a couple of sips."

"What's so hard to say? It's so mysterious." She still cooperated and took a sip. She felt it was clear, sweet and tasted great.

But this is not the most important thing. She just feels refreshed and her mind is much clearer than before.

Normally, as I get older, my spirits aren’t very good before this time, but after drinking the tea now, I feel a sense of clarity as if I had been enlightened.

The feeling of weakness in the body was also swept away, and I felt that I could lift a big fat pig. Li Shouzhi knew from his wife's expression that she was feeling better at the moment, so he deliberately asked, "How is it?"

"It's good tea. Where does it come from?" Zhang Meifeng said sincerely.

Li Shouzhi smiled and said, "Huanhuan gave it to me. Take a look at this."

He took out the remaining three pills, showed them only to Zhang Meifeng, and quickly put them away. "I'm relying on this to live to be a hundred years old."

Zhang Meifeng was shocked. She knew her husband's health condition. The doctor had also told her that he had many hidden injuries. The older he got, the more difficult it would be. His body was seriously damaged and would affect his lifespan.

She was always anxious in her heart, and she was also in pain when she saw her husband in pain.

Her husband likes to drink big bowls of wine and eat meat with big mouthfuls, but she dare not let him eat, and she knows that if he indulges in his momentary appetite, his body will be even more unbearable.

"Does it really work?" Zhang Meifeng asked impatiently.

"It works very well." Li Shouzhi said, "I took one when you went to buy groceries. I felt relaxed all over. The places that used to hurt a lot are no longer painful."

After eating the last three pills, he could feel that his body might be able to return to its peak condition.

Zhang Meifeng burst into tears, "That's great, that's great. This kid is really something, how can he just give you such a good thing!"

Li Shouzhi wasn't a real rough guy. He was in charge of ideological work in the army and was very familiar with the twists and turns. "In a couple of days, I'll go to the countryside to see Huanhuan myself. If nothing else, it's necessary to make a warning."

"Well, you go and take a look, and I'll feel relieved. I heard that many local people bully the educated youth, and we can't let our children be bullied." Zhang Meifeng said.

After Xu Qinghuan came out of the Armed Forces' family compound, he walked a short distance before he saw Jiang Xingye sitting on a bicycle with his long legs propped up on the ground, tossing a box of matches out of boredom.

He was handsome, with dark eyes that revealed a fierceness. His wild and unruly temperament made people both hate and love him, causing passers-by to keep looking at him.

No one knew how he sensed it, but as soon as Xu Qinghuan appeared on the street, he suddenly raised his head, the fierceness in his eyes faded away, and an expression of expectation, uneasiness, and joy intertwined. He also stood up straight, like a ceremonial soldier saluting the national flag in the square, both well-behaved and upright.

Xu Qinghuan laughed at what he saw, and trotted over. "Why are you here?"

Jiang Xingye was waiting for her here, but he didn't dare to say it. He scratched his head and said, "Nothing, just... just stay here for a while."

Xu Qinghuan didn't reveal it either. He hummed and looked at the half-new Golden Deer under him. He thought the two wheels looked familiar. "Where did this car come from?"

"I found some parts and assembled it myself." Jiang Xingye quickly got off the bicycle. "Do you want to use it? I won't be using it anyway, so you can take it and ride it. The tractor will be waiting in front of the State-owned Hotel at 4 pm."

These days, owning a bicycle is no less valuable than owning a Lamborghini in later generations.

Xu Qinghuan looked at the seat that was much taller than his legs and shook his head. "I don't know how to ride a bike. I need to go to the scrap shop. Can you take me there?"

Jiang Xingye couldn't believe it, with surprise and sorrow mixed together. He pursed his lips and said, "If someone saw this, it would be bad for your reputation!"
