Chapter 393 Hello, Dundun! 【Ask for monthly ticket】
"Hello grandpa, hello grandma!"
Walking into the courtyard, Li Yu, led by Zhou Ruotong, said hello to all the aunts and aunts who had specially asked for leave, and then solemnly said hello to Zhou Yongnian, the old man of the Zhou family.
"Good boy, you've had a hard journey. Sit down, sit down!"
Although he returned to his home, Zhou Ruotong did not relax at all and stayed with Li Yu all the time, for fear that he would become cramped and nervous.
In order to make the old man happy, Zhou Ruotong placed the jar of salted duck eggs brought all the way on the coffee table:
"Eggs laid by ducks that grew up in streams in the mountains, then wrapped in red clay dug from the valley and marinated in specially bought coarse salt. I heard that you like to eat them, so my boyfriend carried them all the way for fear of dropping them."
When Zhou Yongnian heard this, he was extremely happy:
"Thank you, my dear, for your thoughtfulness. It's really not easy to buy such authentic red clay duck eggs in Beijing."
Li Yu quickly said a few polite words, and when he saw Zhou Bingshan and others entering the house, he opened his suitcase and took out the gifts, one for each family.
What was given to Zhou Bingshan was the lacquer box in which Liu Xie held his tablet computer at that time. It was inlaid with gold wire, which looked very valuable at first glance.
Zhou Bingliang is an expert on the culture of the two Song Dynasties. The gift Li Yu gave him was the gold collar given by Chai Jin last time. The engraving on the front tells the story of the whole process of Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi's first ascension to the Dabao as a reward to the Chai family. The back is also engraved with " The four words "descendants of Rongen".
Putting aside the value of gold, these inscriptions alone are enough to write a top journal article.
My father-in-law Zhou Bingren studied the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the gift Li Yu gave him was a jade pendant worn by men of the Sui Dynasty.
The jade pendant was given by Luo Cheng and was inlaid with gold thread. In addition, gold thread was added to the lanyard and the hanging tassel below. It looked very noble, and the carving style was also very characteristic of the times.
As for his fourth uncle Zhou Binghou, he studied the culture of the Ming Dynasty, but the B\u0026B had never opened books on this subject, so Li Yu simply gave him a calligraphy and painting brought by Wu Song.
Calligraphy and painting were introduced from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. Later, someone brought this painting to Lu Junyi in exchange for wine. Wu Song saw that it was well preserved and brought it to the real world.
Now giving it to Zhou Binghou, who also likes calligraphy and painting, is a good use of it.
The four brothers were all very satisfied with their gifts, especially Zhou Bingliang. Looking at the words on the gold collar, he began to prepare a new paper.
Then Li Yu took out another gift for the old man.
This is an ordinary cow shoulder bone, with oracle bone inscriptions recording a total solar eclipse in the late Shang Dynasty, which is very helpful for studying Shang and Zhou culture.
This ox shoulder bone was given by Wen Zhong, who also used magic to make the bone last three thousand years, so the whole bone looks like it was taken out of a museum.
Finally, Li Yu took out the Baifu hairpin that Shi En had given him:
"Grandma, there will be many people celebrating your birthday tomorrow, so I will give you your birthday gift first,"
Tomorrow is the official day of the 80th birthday. Not only relatives from all walks of life, but also students, colleagues, promoted cadres, etc. of the old couple will come over.
It's noisy, and taking out the Momofuku hairpin rashly can easily cause a sensation, so it's better to keep a low profile.
The old lady quickly put on her gloves, held them in her hands and looked at them carefully. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them:
"Thank you so much, Xiaoyu. This is the best gift I have ever received... It is exquisitely made and has a good meaning. It is simply a work of art!"
Everyone present was an authority in this field and knew the weight of these cultural relics.
The more Zhou Yongnian looks at Li Yu, the more he likes him. Such a grandson-in-law is really hard to find even with a lantern. In the past, those blind dates introduced by relatives could not compare to Li Yu.
At this moment, the old man wished his granddaughter could get engaged on the spot.
Seeing the way his grandfather was hesitant to speak, Zhou Ruotong guessed that he probably had something to say to his father and the others, so he stood up and said to Li Yu:
"Let's go, let me take you to get familiar with this courtyard."
As soon as the two left, Zhou Yongnian took a sip of tea and said:
"Don't make these gifts public for the time being, so as not to attract other people's attention... Third child, Xiaoyu and Tongtong have established a company, right?"
"Yes, just messing around."
"Four of you brothers, each of you will invest 10 million in that company, and they will share the equity equally... No matter how the children play, we, as adults, have to support it."
"Okay Dad, I will arrange it as soon as possible."
All four brothers agreed, and Zhou Yongnian waved his hand:
"Everyone calm down and get ready to eat. Don't ask Xiaoyu anything. When there are things we should know, he will take the initiative to tell us. Don't force us."
Soon, the family was sitting in the restaurant, with a variety of delicacies on the table, all cooked by Master Lin Ji.
Now Linji Food has launched a door-to-door chef service. All the dishes can be eaten at home. There is nothing wrong with it except that it is a little more expensive.
Li Yu ate one dish after another and felt how good it was to have money again.
The delicacies that you used to have to wait in line at the store or order long in advance can now be eaten hot without leaving home, and the quality is guaranteed.
I must get a house in the capital in the future. When I am not busy, I can stay here for a while and try all kinds of high-end delicacies. It’s so cool!
Zhou Bingliang took a bite of a piece of rock candy elbow and asked Li Yu:
"What are Xiaoyu's plans for the afternoon? Do you want to visit our museum?"
Zhou Ruotong said:
"We are going to Boss Lin's house. They are fellow villagers. Boss Lin's father has helped us before. It would be unreasonable not to pay a visit when we come to the capital this time."
"Then go ahead and go to the museum when you're not busy."
Zhou Bingshan also invited Li Yu to visit the National Museum and take a look at the Han Dynasty jade pendant donated by [Mr. Li who did not want to reveal his name].
Li Yu agreed to all the requests and picked up a piece of crispy duck square to taste it. He thought the dish was very delicious.
Zhou Binghou likes to study food. He introduced:
"This dish is to first cook the duck on low heat, remove the bones, flatten the duck into a pancake, spread the meat filling on the meat side, and then fry it in batter. After frying, cut it into squares and serve it on a plate."
Li Yu originally wanted to learn a trick, but when he heard the method, he quickly gave up the idea.
He still couldn't compare with Boss Lin.
The dishes on the table were delicious and everyone ate happily.
After eating and drinking, Zhou Ruotong led Li Yu to the guest room to rest.
"Wife, where do you live?"
"My grandparents usually live here. I live in a duplex in a nearby community. There is no room for you there. How about you live here?"
Li Yu started to act like a spoiled child while lying on the bed:
"I know my bed when I sleep. I will have nightmares if I sleep in a strange place."
Zhou Ruotong: "..."
I saw you sleeping soundly in Guanlan Mingshu. You don't look like you know your bed at all.
She lowered her head and kissed Li Yu:
"What should I do? How about you sleep in my room?"
Li Yu was delighted and said insincerely:
"This...is not good?"
Zhou Ruotong smiled and pinched the guy's nose:
"It's okay. You sleep in my room tonight and I'll sleep here."
Li Yu: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
You tricked me to Beijing just to let me stay alone in an empty room, right?
He raised his hand and hugged Professor Zhou's slender waist, kissed her for a while, and then said: "No matter what, I want to sleep with you anyway!" "Okay, okay, I've never seen such a childish savior like you. If it gets out, aren't you afraid that everyone will laugh at you?" "Everyone will only envy you, no one will laugh at you." Li Yu lay down and dozed for a while. After waking up, he changed his clothes and went out with Zhou Ruotong. "How do we get to Boss Lin?" "Let's drive. His house is on the North Fourth Ring Road, a little distance away." Zhou Ruotong led Li Yu to the garage of the courtyard, where there were several cars, including X5, Range Rover, two-door Defender, and a Ducati motorcycle. The couple wanted to drive the Range Rover, but thinking of the tight parking environment in Beijing, they finally chose the two-door Land Rover Defender. This car is shorter and convenient for parking and exiting. Soon, Zhou Ruotong drove the Defender 90 away from the courtyard. "Does everyone in your family like to drive a Land Rover? I see my father-in-law also drives an old Defender."
"It looks old, but it was actually just modified last year. The big screen and other things were replaced. The money from the modification can buy a new one... My dad thinks the current Defender is ugly, so he has always driven the old model."
Li Yu also thinks the old Defender is beautiful, especially the black and white commemorative edition color scheme, which is simply eye-catching.
It's a pity that the new model has removed the edges and corners, and the lines are softened, which suddenly becomes more magnanimous and no longer has the tough style of the Defender.
In this regard, it is not as good as the G-Class. Regardless of wind resistance or something, the pure appearance is the soul. I can't imagine how ugly the G-Class suddenly becomes the style of Maybach GLS.
Zhou Ruotong first went to a gold shop to buy gifts, then followed the congested Second Ring Road to the Third Ring Road, and finally got on the Fourth Ring Road, which was considered a run.
Not long after arriving at the North Fourth Ring Road, he got off the elevated road.
Zhou Ruotong pointed to a small shop on the roadside with a signboard of Ziqiang Shengjian and said: "This is also an industry invested by Boss Lin. Now there are branches everywhere. The taste is very good. Many investors want to package and go public, but they are all rejected by Boss Lin." Once the catering industry is invaded by capital, it will expand rapidly, and then try every means to seek listing and cash out. Few people will seriously do catering. Li Yu exclaimed: "Isn't he afraid of capital blocking? It's tough to have a lucky cat around him!" "Boss Lin now has a bunch of titles and the support of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. It's humiliating to provoke him." Soon, Zhou Ruotong drove into a road called Yingchun Street. This street is not long. In the middle of the road, there is a luxurious restaurant on the north side with a sign of Lin Ji Food. "Is this the legendary Lin Ji Food?" Li Yu took out his mobile phone and took a photo, and then sent it to Moments, pretending to check in at an Internet celebrity restaurant. Zhou Ruotong picked up the phone and called Lin Xu's lover Shen Jiayue. When he learned that they were all at home, he did not get off the car, but drove forward directly. Soon, the car arrived at the gate of a high-end residential area.
As soon as Zhou Ruotong parked the car, the housekeeper of the community came to greet them, riding a balance bike to guide the two to drive in and parked at the bottom of a high-end residential building.
As soon as he got off the car, a handsome young man came to greet him. He was wearing high-end home clothes and looked handsome. He was not rich and greasy like a professional chef at all. Instead, he looked more like a star:
"Welcome Mr. Zhou, welcome Mr. Li."
Li Yu also hurriedly greeted him:
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I asked you to come downstairs to greet me in person. It's really polite."
"People from our hometown of Yinzhou are coming over, so it's right to greet them. It's hot outside. Go upstairs quickly. The housekeeper will park the car in the underground parking lot."
Zhou Ruotong handed the car keys to the housekeeper, and the couple followed Lin Xu into the elevator.
"I heard that your Hanfu scenic spot is very popular. My wife bought several Hanfu costumes and wanted to experience it. Unfortunately, the children are too young and can't leave."
Lin Xu's father, Lin Hongqi, is in the same industry as Li Yu and knows the situation in Yinzhou very well.
Zhou Ruotong said with a smile:
"Yueyue will look really beautiful in Hanfu."
"Teacher Zhou, don't praise me, she will be proud."
Li Yu asked:
"Where's Dundun?"
"I'm watching the kids upstairs. Since I got two younger brothers, I've been watching over them all day long and haven't even played games anymore."
younger brother?
Are you raising Dundun as your son?
I also want to raise the dog as a son, but unfortunately it seems to think so too, so much so that they cancel each other out, and we can only live together as brothers for the time being.
Soon, the elevator arrived upstairs.
As soon as I got out of the elevator, the door not far away opened, and a beautiful girl who looked like she came out of a comic said hello to everyone:
"Wow, you are finally here, welcome..."
After saying that, she greeted Li Yu in unauthentic Central Plains dialect:
"Laoxiang is so nice. My name is Shen Jiayue. When I get back to Lao's house, I'll go play in the scenic spot!"
"You are welcome at any time. I will give you a few sets of Hanfu when the time comes."
"Haha, great... Yan Bao, the boss of Yinzhou Fengming Valley Hanfu Scenic Area is here. Don't you want to customize Hanfu? He also has shares in that Hanfu factory!"
Yanbao?
After entering the door, Li Yu saw a beautiful woman sitting cross-legged on a baby crawling mat and playing games with her child. She was none other than Ms. Chen Yan, the baby-showing geek in her circle of friends and the chairman of Happy Media.
She and Shen Jiayue are cousins. Now that they have children, they are in a semi-reclusive state. They don't care much about the company and focus on taking care of the children at home.
"Welcome, Boss Li. Your Hanfu scenic spot is becoming more and more popular. Can we do another live broadcast later?"
"Okay, make arrangements in advance and I'll have someone perform martial arts."
Although Liu Guan and Zhang have gone to the book world, there is still no problem in performing a wave of cavalry battles with Yuwen Chengdu.
It's a pity that Zhao Yun is not here, otherwise the performance of Zhao Zilong vs. Yuwen Chengdu, a unique collision between the two worlds' commanders, would definitely be full of entertainment.
Zhou Ruotong took out three cartoon-shaped golden hoops from his bag:
"I hope you won't dislike this gift for your child."
The three golden hoops were all made of pure gold. When Chen Yan's child saw that the golden hoops were particularly attractive, he reached out and wanted to take them, but because they were too heavy, he couldn't catch them and fell on the crawling mat.
The little guy immediately pushed and rolled with his hands.
Chen Yan wanted to refuse, but seeing that the child liked it very much, she stopped being polite, picked up the child and said:
"Ren Pingan, your uncle and aunt gave you a gift, why don't you quickly say thank you?"
The little guy is still young and has no concept of thanking you. He just wants to crawl and play.
Chen Yan said:
"My husband is a policeman, so he named the child Ping An. I hope he can protect the safety of the people and that he can be safe."
A very simple wish... Li Yu looked around and found a double-cabin baby cradle at the other end of the living room. A gray-blue fat cat stood beside it, pushing the cradle with his paws from time to time, shaking it. , the two children were babbling and talking happily.
Is this Dundun? How did you become a nanny?
If Brother Dao saw it, wouldn't he laugh to tears?
He walked over and placed the golden cudgel next to the two children. Shen Jiayue and Lin Xu each picked up one:
"Lin Chengye, Lin Jiye, why don't you say thank you?"
The two children were younger than Ren Ping'an and just wanted to play with Dundun, and didn't even notice the existence of the golden hoop.
When Dundun saw Li Yu, she stopped teasing the child and took the initiative to hug Li Yu's trouser leg.
Li Yu bent down to pick it up and said hello with a smile:
"Hello, Dundun!"
Dundun rubbed his head in his arms, and used his paws to pull at the treasured money Li Yu was wearing.
Sure enough, the little guy recognized the copper coin.
After appraising the copper coins, Dundun shouted to Lin Xu:
"Meow~~~~"
A trace of doubt flashed across Lin Xu's face, and then he said to Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan:
"You guys greet Teacher Zhou, Li Yu and I will go up and talk about something."
In this way, Li Yu hugged Dundun and was led by Lin Xu to the tea room on the third floor...
Lin Xu's family lived in a duplex on the top floor, with a building within the building and a huge area. Li Yu felt that for this location and area, it would cost at least 50 million.
The tea room was very empty. There was a notebook and an electronic calculator on the table, which should be used for daily accounting.
Lin Xu went to make tea, and Dundun jumped down and sat on the table.
Li Yu touched its head and said:
"Thank you for all the good luck you provided, it helped me a lot."
"Meow~~"
Dundun waved his thick little paws with a rude expression.
After saying that, it looked at Luobao Money again.
Li Yu quickly took it off and placed it in front of the little guy:
"You want it? Why don't I give it to you?"
Dundun didn't ask for it, but raised his paw, pressed it directly on the copper coin, and closed his eyes.
After about five or six seconds, it opened its eyes, then raised its paw and pushed the copper coin towards Li Yu.
"You don't want it? What were you doing just now?"
Dundun didn't say anything, but licked his paws to hide his merit and fame.
Li Yu guessed:
"Did you add some good luck to it?"
"Meow!"
"Really? How much did you add?"
Li Yu originally wanted to get close to the little guy and pave the way for the frank and honest communication that followed.
Unexpectedly, this guy Dundun directly pressed the calculator next to him.
It patted it with its meat pad, and the calculator immediately made a sound:
"three!"
Dundun continued to tap the calculator:
"Zero zero zero zero zero..."
Lin Xu came over with a tea cup and curiously looked at the copper coins on the table:
"What is this? It actually cost 300,000 lucky points."
Li Yu asked:
"Dundun controls the luck value?"
"Yes, ordinary people have a base of four or five points, and can add up to two more points... I didn't expect that this small copper coin can add 300,000 points at a time. It's not easy!"
Li Yu said frankly:
"This is the treasured money in "The Romance of the Gods"... Did Dundun tell you everything?"
Lin Xu nodded:
"After the child was born, we had a long conversation. He told me about cats and the war between dogs... By the way, when the dog you raised came, he also reminded me that he wanted to I returned to Yinzhou and sold the dog to a dog meat restaurant, but later they seemed to reconcile and became friends who helped each other. "
Damn it, you can actually communicate so much?
Li Yu was shocked:
"How do you communicate? Why do I have so much trouble communicating with Gouzi?"
Each time, I had to do multiple-choice questions first and write out all the imagined results for Brother Dao to choose. The communication efficiency was very poor, and the dog was not very cooperative.
Lin Xu actually knew so much before he arrived. Is this the benefit of being raised as a son?
I also want to raise the dog as a son, but why is the dog so resistant?
Just as he was wondering, Lin Xu said:
"I actually don't understand what Dundun said. We usually communicate through the system... By the way, Li Yu, what system are you bound to? It can't be the B\u0026B system, right?"
Li Yu:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
What system? Why don't I know what you are talking about?
Damn, did I miss something? !

When I was writing this chapter, my bear cub (the prototype of Dundun) was so excited. Damn, he couldn’t really be from a cat, right? I just learned that there will be double monthly votes at the end of the month. You can save them and vote again. Thank you!
