Chapter 261 Purpose, Start
Shen Li looked at him and said bluntly: "I do want my eldest brother to join the army, but I have to ask him and his family first. I can't make the decision on my own."
Pei Yu nodded, "I understand."
"What is your purpose?"
Pei Yu laughed, "What purpose can I have? I just want him to achieve success as soon as possible and get an official position. After we get married, no one will criticize you behind your back."
"Haha, you really think long-term." Shen Li rolled her eyes at him, "These are things that haven't happened yet."
Pei Yu was not angry, "Just preparing for a rainy day."
Shen Li raised her eyebrows and curled her lips slightly, "Aren't you afraid that your efforts will end in vain? What if you end up making wedding dresses for others?"
Pei Yu looked at her provocative look, and the proud little expression on her face was very vivid.
"Ali, I have never been a good person, you know. If someone can snatch you away from me alive, I will respect him as a man."
Shen Li:......
"I don't think you respect him as a man, but you should send him to a new life!"
"Be a human being!"
Pei Yu's mouth spread into an unbridled smile, "A-Li still understands me."
"I'm serious about what I told you. Go back and discuss it with them. I know you have me in your heart."
Shen Li felt a little embarrassed and annoyed when he hit the nail on the head, but she quickly concealed it.
But Pei Yu still caught the change in expression at that moment, and he was in a very good mood.
She wants to stay in her turtle shell, so why not just lure her out little by little? One day she will let down her guard against me.
He has always been very patient with Shen Li.
At dinner, Shen Li looked at her elder brother who had been much quieter during this period and asked, "Brother, our family is not short of money now. Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"
Shen Jingyuan paused, then picked up a dish with chopsticks as if nothing had happened, "No, why did Ah Li suddenly bring up this?"
Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui also looked at their eldest son. It’s not that they didn’t notice it, but they didn’t know what to do.
Xu Taohua spoke slowly, "Husband, if you have anything you want to do, just tell us, we will support you."
Shen Jingyuan is not a stubborn person, but he feels that it is not appropriate for him to join the army at his age.
She just shook her head and refused to say anything. Xu Taohua wanted to speak again, but Shen Li shook her head slightly at her, saying that too much is as bad as too little.
The eldest brother needs to figure this out himself, or the couple can talk about it privately.
If parents and younger sisters interfere too much, it may cause hidden dangers in the future.
The next day, after breakfast, I took a carriage to relax for half a day. I hadn't visited him for a few days. Unexpectedly, as soon as I got on the carriage, I saw Pei Yu sitting upright in the carriage.
Shen Li:......
"What are you doing?"
"Let's go to the county town and take a carriage."
"Where is the carriage you came here in yesterday?"
Pei Yu smiled lightly, "It's a waste for me to sit alone, I'd better sit with Ah Li."
"Don't worry, I have some important business to attend to in the county town."
Shen Li glanced at him and told the driver outside, "Let's go."
After the carriage had been idle for half a day, Pei Yu went to do his own business. Shen Li listened to Bai Yao talk about the situation in the store in the past few days.
Not long after, Lianxiang came in with a tray, "Boss, this is the dessert that Li Niang made recently. I knew you were coming, so I brought it over for you to try."
"Lianxiang, is Li Niang still busy? If she's not busy, let her come up."
"Yes."
Shen Li picked up a piece of pastry, nodded after eating it, and it was indeed good, with rich taste.
Soon, Li Niang came up. The three of them talked about the pastry for a while. After changing some small details, she immediately went downstairs to make a plate and served it up. It was indeed more delicious than before.
It was not until he was about to go back that Pei Yu came back, exhausted, with a food box in his hand.
Put it in front of Shen Li, "I just had it outside at noon. I thought it was good. I packed some for you when I came back."
After finding a seat and sitting down, he casually opened the lunch box and said, "It's still hot."
Worried that the food would get cold after traveling all the way back, Pei Yu asked someone to put a heater under the food box.
When I leaned over to take a look, I saw a bowl of glutinous rice balls with a few dried rose petals sprinkled on top.
“Will you still eat this?”
When Pei Yu saw the upturned curve at the corners of her eyes, he guessed that she must like it.
"I didn't eat it before, but it's different now. You like to eat these, so if I see something that suits my taste, I will try it."
I didn't expect her to say anything, so I continued, "Ali, try it, this filling is different."
Shen Li pushed the cake next to her a little further and said, "I just developed a new product. In exchange, I'll treat you to some."
Just as Shen Li was about to reach out to take it out, she saw Pei Yu's bony hands had already taken out the porcelain bowl.
"Eat."
I ate one and it turned out to be filled with roses, and it was delicious.
Shen Li's eyes brightened a little. For people struggling to survive in the doomsday, eating and staying alive are more important than anything else.
And now, eating this bowl of dessert is enough to brighten her mood for the whole day.
Pei Yu looked at Shen Li with a smile in his eyes. The girl in front of him had curved eyebrows because she ate her favorite food. It was obvious that she was in a very good mood.
He thought he knew where to start.
Ask Tianqing to find a few cooks over next time. It’s time to learn cooking. Besides, Ali said before that men who can cook will have an advantage when it comes to marriage.
This must be the truest thought in her heart. If he could learn good cooking skills, then Ali would definitely be very happy.
The portion of the bowl was not large and the temperature was just right, so Shen Li finished it quickly. When she looked up, she met the man's affectionate eyes and his handsome face that infuriated both humans and gods.
Now, the man seemed to be happy about something, and there was a sense of joy in the corners of his eyes and brows. It was not the kind of joy that was just for show, but a real expression of his feelings.
"Let's go, it's getting dark, let's go back first."
"it is good."
Sitting in the carriage, the driver turned into Tianqing, and there was a charcoal brazier in the carriage.
"By the way, how long do you plan to stay at my house?"
The smile on Pei Yu's lips froze, but he had already thought about this problem. It was indeed not a good idea to stay there forever, but leaving now would definitely not be an option.
"If we stay for a few days, there will be no one living in the house, so we will need to clean it up for a few days."
"it is good."
Shen Li also understood that what he said was an excuse, but she did not expose it. The two chatted for a few minutes and soon arrived at Shen's house.
Pei Yu was also a man of action. He went out early the next morning. Tian Qing found a few maids who were proficient in cooking overnight and they were waiting for him at the house on Chunhui Road.
Half an hour later, Pei Yu looked at the burnt food in the pot, and his expression changed from the initial confident look to the black bottom of the pot.
