C186 Wits like Me
Seeing that Chen Long didn't say anything, Li Mei crossed her arms in front of her chest and stared at Chen Long with her sharp eyes. She asked, "Xiaolong, your dad is asking you a question!"
"Ai ai!"
Chen Long nodded as his mind raced. He chuckled and said, "Dad, I just got back from the ground. Where did you go?"
"I took a detour to the ground to see if anyone had been in the ground to cause damage last night!" Chen Zishan casually replied, he did not notice Li Mei's strange gaze.
"Oh, so it's like that!"
Chen Long let out a sigh of relief. Luckily Chen Zishan didn't live there, otherwise, his lies would have been exposed. Thinking about his mother's violent temper, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
Chen Zishan scratched the back of his head, then suddenly thought of something, and reprimanded, "Brat, don't change the topic, you just came back from the field? Why didn't I see you? "
"I went to the mountain and came around from behind!" Chen Long skillfully lied, "When I came back, I saw someone whose back looked like you, but I didn't dare to admit it. It would be too awkward if I admitted it wrong!"
Chen Zishan thought about it and felt that it was reasonable, so he didn't ask anymore. He looked at Li Mei and said, "Wife, is the meal ready? "After slipping away for a while, I'm going to starve to death!"
Seeing that there were no flaws in Chen Long's words, Li Mei had nothing left to say. She could only glare at Chen Long before saying snappily, "The meal is done. If you want to eat, take it out yourself!"
After saying so, he walked into the room by himself, causing Chen Zishan and Chen Long to stare at each other in confusion.
"What's wrong with your mother? You ate gunpowder? " Chen Zishan asked softly.
"It's very possible. Let's go and bring the food over!"
Naturally, Chen Long would not tell Chen Zishan the truth. He answered without thinking, and then together with Chen Zishan, they rushed to the kitchen and brought the dishes over.
Chen Long placed the steaming hot porridge in front of Li Mei, smiling as he said, "Mom, please eat!"
"En!"
Although Li Mei's face was still expressionless, the smile on her face betrayed her. She could not help but glare at Chen Zishan fiercely, saying, "My son knows how to love people, unlike someone who only knows how to stuff food into his mouth!"
"Huh?"
Chen Zishan was surprised, he didn't seem to do anything that would anger everyone. Why was he always the one who was unlucky?
"Ah what? It's so delicious! " Li Mei glared and said.
"Sigh, let's eat!"
Chen Zishan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Sometimes he would scold her to eat, and in the blink of an eye, she would scold him to not eat. Even if he didn't eat, she would still scold him.
Seeing Chen Zishan's wronged expression, Chen Long quickly changed the topic and asked, "Dad, there doesn't seem to be anyone causing trouble here today, right?!"
"No, perhaps because they know you are standing guard in the ground!" Chen Zishan said as he ate.
"Un, that should be the case!"
Chen Long nodded. He was laughing inside. He didn't go yesterday, but it should be because of him. After all, Zhao Dabao would probably stay for a while to teach Old Wu a lesson.
Suddenly, a thought struck Chen Long and he felt like he was missing a person. After careful thought, he realized that it was Xia Xiaoxuan who was missing, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Mom, where's Xiaoxuan? "Why haven't I seen her?"
"Xiaoxuan, you left yesterday and she went to the county for a meeting. She hasn't come back yet, but she seems to have held some training course in the county. I think she'll be coming back in a few days!" Li Mei answered casually.
Chen Long added, "Oh, so it's like that. This little girl really makes people worry!"
"Hmph, you are the one that makes people worry the most!"
Li Mei suddenly pointed the spearhead at Chen Long and said, "Look at you running around all day. When will you be able to finish your life?"
Hearing that, Chen Long's head felt like it was about to explode. With a bitter face, he said, "Mom, why don't you bring up that pot? Besides, didn't Ke Er and I get along pretty well! "
"What's the use of it being pretty good?"
Hearing this, Li Mei was furious. She said with a serious face, "If such an outstanding girl like Ke Er isn't married into our family, what will happen if someone steals her away?"
"You can be considered to have some success in your career now. I don't have much hope for you and your mom. I just want to hug my grandchildren and see how you are doing. I probably won't even be able to carry you and your mom when they're in the dirt!"
"Mom, look at what you're saying!"
Seeing that his mother was very angry, Chen Long quickly comforted her. "I know what I'm doing, isn't it pushing forward? Don't worry, next year, next year I'll definitely let you hug me and my grandchildren. Is that okay?"
"Then... "Fine!"
Li Mei's eyes flashed with a trace of cunning, but her face still had a sullen expression, pretending to helplessly agree.
However, he changed the subject and continued, "Xiaolong, you must get engaged this year. I've already discussed this matter with Ke Er's parents!"
"Huh? You've already discussed it? When did this happen? How come I didn't know?! " Chen Long was somewhat anxious as he fired off a barrage of questions in quick succession.
Li Mei replied in a carefree manner, "Yes, we've already discussed this. Yesterday, after you and Ke Er went out, I went to discuss it with Ke Er's mom. Why aren't you happy?"
"No, no, no, how could I not be happy!"
When Chen Long saw Li Mei's expression, he quickly smiled and said, "Mom, you're really awesome. You can get engaged already, but Mom only wants you and no one else!"
"Hmph, of course!"
Li Mei complacently snorted. She was very satisfied with Chen Long's flattery, and then said sincerely, "Xiaolong, you can't do anything to let Ke Er down. Otherwise, I won't forgive you!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Mom, your son is a good man. How could he be like this?" Chen Long patted his chest as he prepared his bag, but only he knew if it was true or not.
After the family had finished eating breakfast, Chen Long was just sitting down to eat his breakfast when his phone suddenly rang. When he saw that it was an unfamiliar number, he pressed the answer button in confusion.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Is that Mr. Chen Long?" We're here to deliver some furniture. We've already reached the entrance of your village, but we don't know the way.
"Alright, no problem!"
It turned out to be a delivery boy. Chen Long suddenly jumped up and told Li Mei a few simple words before running out. Li Mei also followed him, feeling worried.
After Chen Long left, he rushed towards the village entrance. From afar, he saw several large carriages stopped at the village entrance. There were many people watching from time to time, pointing and exclaiming in admiration.
"Whose family is this? These pieces of furniture look really expensive! "
"Hmm, they are all good wood and very good workmanship. This set is worth at least tens of thousands!"
"..."
"Everyone, move out of the way!"
Chen Long shouted and squeezed in to take a look. Chen Ke Er's classmate, Wu Wenjing, was standing in front of the car. She hurriedly walked over and greeted, "Manager Wu, I didn't expect you to personally send it!"
"Chen Long!"
Wu Wenjing's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Long. With a beaming smile, she said, "You're a big client. Of course I have to personally deliver it to you to be at ease!"
"Thank you, Manager Wu!" Chen Long said politely.
Unexpectedly, Wu Wenjing frowned. She rolled her eyes at Chen Long and said, "We're all friends. Why are you calling me manager Wu so offhandedly? Just call me manager Wu!"
"Alright, quiet!"
Chen Long scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Let's not stand here. Let's put down the furniture first!"
"Un, that's fine too!"
Wu Wenjing nodded, her big eyes twinkling as she spoke.
Afterwards, under Chen Long's command, Wu Wenjing brought the workers to the front of the small building and began to carry the furniture inside.
Although there were a lot of workers, Chen Long bought quite a lot of furniture, and many of them were big. Seeing that the efficiency was very slow, Chen Long threw aside his arms and began to work as well.
Chen Long picked a wooden cabinet and was about to move it when the workers stopped him. The supervisor said, "Mr. Chen, this cabinet is very heavy, you can't move it!"
"It's not that heavy, right? I feel that it's rather light!" Chen Long scratched his head and said.
A layman was a layman. He did not know anything!
A trace of contempt flashed across the supervisor's eyes. He pointed to a chair and said, "Mr. Chen, this cabinet is solid red wood, this cabinet needs at least 500 kg. If we want to move it up with the help of a machine, it will take a while."
"It's fine. Don't worry, I can move it!"
Chen Long said indifferently. It was only a few hundred pounds. If he couldn't even lift this, then he would have become a dog!
"Hur hur, then please go ahead!"
The supervisor impatiently shook his head and coldly watched from the sidelines. He watched as Chen Long held onto the cabinet with both hands and squatted down slightly. A trace of a sneer appeared on his face.
He couldn't help sighing in his heart, [Young people these days like to pretend to be strong. If I really can't move then how embarrassing will it be!]
However, in the next moment, his eyes widened as his eyelids twitched!
This... What was going on?
"Rise!"
Chen Long shouted as his spiritual power surged out from his dantian. A sense of power instantly filled his entire body. He easily carried the solid mahogany cabinet on his shoulder and even found a comfortable position.
The small building had two floors. This cabinet was on the second floor. Chen Long then walked briskly upstairs, whistling along the way. It looked so easy!
The head waiter stared at Chen Long's back with his mouth wide open. Thinking back to his previous thoughts, his face instantly turned red and he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is truly a godly person!"
Nearby, Wu Wenjing naturally saw the situation over here and covered her mouth in astonishment. Her heart was suddenly filled with curiosity towards this mysterious man …
