Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1461: Chapter 855: It’s Done

”Brother Li, Sister-in-law, it’s getting late, we should be heading back.” Mrs. Luo stood up to say goodbye, seeing that the sky had already darkened.

”Sister, that won’t do...” Mrs. Li quickly stopped her, ”It’s already this late, how can you go back on an empty stomach?”

”No, Old Luo can’t cook, and if we return late, he’ll be left hungry.” Mrs. Luo warmly grasped Mrs. Li’s hand, ”Sister-in-law, we’ll be seeing each other for a long time, and later, I’m afraid you and Brother Li will think we’re coming over too often for meals.”

This remark had some implications! Father Li and Mrs. Li exchanged a glance, excitement clearly showing on their faces, ”Sister, let the future be the future. The meal is already prepared by the village chef, eat first before you go. Mayor Luo’s part can be packed in boxes and taken back, it won’t take long.” Father Li insisted on staying.

The so-called chef is a villager known for cooking deliciously and usually helps with cooking during red and white happy occasions.

Mrs. Luo, of course, knew that the Li family had specially invited this person to cook, which indicated that they truly valued the Luo family. Refusing further would make both sides feel awkward. Hence, Mrs. Luo pondered for a moment and nodded, ”Alright, let’s eat first before we leave.”

The daughter and Li Zejun went to the other room to chat and haven’t come out yet, which means they’re certainly hitting it off. In such a case, staying for the meal represents a gesture, and it reassures the male family’s hearts.

”I’ll go have them bring over the prepared food first.” Li Zexia said while getting off the kang to put her shoes on, ”I’ll go with you.” Li Xiaogu, who knew her niece well, also quickly got off the kang. She didn’t want the dishes to come back missing pieces from the edges.

”Where’s Mayor Luo and the others?” Mrs. Li suddenly noticed Luo Feng, Luo Ye, and others were missing, and she had no impression of when they disappeared.

”They went to Xiao Kun’s room.” Father Li said while heading to the west wing, silently blaming himself for ignoring this enthusiastic group of kids, especially since it included his son’s superior.

”Huh? They’re not here?” Father Li opened the door and was stunned momentarily, ”I didn’t see them go out, when did that happen?”

Mrs. Li also came over to take a look, ”They probably found it stuffy inside and went for a stroll together.”

”No, they went to pick up Principal Luo.” Father Li had by then finished reading a note left on the kang, which indicated they went to the town’s middle school.

”Fei Ying really doesn’t know better, going out in this cold weather.” Mrs. Luo laughed with embarrassment, ”Brother Li, Sister-in-law, if the young ones become a couple, please tell her whatever needs to be said.”

”Can’t blame Fei Ying.” Li Xiaogu quickly waved her hand, ”If it weren’t for Xiao Kun and his group of friends insisting on fetching Principal Luo, Fei Ying certainly wouldn’t have agreed.”

Holding Zhuangzhuang in her hand, Li Zexia, trying to head outside, returned, ”Dad, Mom, should I bring the dishes over now?”

This daughter thinks only of eating! Father Li glared at Li Zexia, ”Wait a bit, if we bring them now, they’ll get cold in this freezing weather.”

”Look at how well-matched the two kids are, this relationship is settled.” Mrs. Li laughed while holding Mrs. Luo’s hand, ”To have such a good in-law family as the Luo family is truly a fortune for the Li family!”

”You can tell just by looking at Brother Li and Sister-in-law that they have good tempers. If we can become in-laws with the Li family, her father and I would be delighted too.” As the girl’s parent, Mrs. Luo tried to stay modest.

Both sides were quite happy and returned to the east wing, sitting back on the kang to chat idly. Before long, footsteps could be heard from outside.

”They’re back.” Father Li hurried outside and upon seeing a refined man in his fifties approaching, immediately smiled broadly, ”Principal Luo, please come in, please come in.” Then, he turned to Luo Feng, ”Mayor Luo, sorry to trouble you.” Then he looked at the crowd following behind, ”And all you young folks, so sorry to bother you.”

Mr. Luo enthusiastically shook Father Li’s extended hand, ”Brother Li, I used to be Xiao Kun’s homeroom teacher, who would have thought one day he could become my son-in-law, hehe...”

”That’s fate for you!” Father Li said, looking toward Luo Feng and others, ”This old mind of mine seems to be muddled today, any shortcomings in hospitality, please bear with me, I’ll cook something good another day to make up for it.”

”Ha...” Meeting cultured individuals, Father Li tried to speak elegantly too, causing the group to break into laughter. Father Li awkwardly scratched his head, ”I did, after all, go up to middle school.”

”In Brother Li’s time, middle school education was remarkable, equivalent to today’s high school education.” Mr. Luo solemnly explained to the younger crowd.
