Traveling through the 80s, I picked up an actor

Chapter 193 Farewell again

That night, Fu Jingchi did not wait for Li Yunze to jump into the river, because this guy was playing tricks, saying that he didn't take it seriously because he didn't see it. He would not believe it unless he asked someone to come out one day and let him see it with his own eyes.

I've seen people who are so lame, but I've never seen people who are so lame.

Fu Jingchi was so angry that he kicked him again and left angrily. But when he left, he took his car keys and drove away with his… I don’t know which wife. It was not until the next day when Li Yunze opened the garage and found that his new wife was gone that he was furious.

On the other hand, Jiang Li was not able to spend a good holiday in Hong Kong. On the morning of New Year's Eve, Jiang Li turned on the TV and saw the news that Li Mubai's movie in Hollywood would be released at eight o'clock in the evening. She knew that it was time for her to say goodbye again.

Jiang Li spent New Year's Eve at the Li family for two consecutive years. The workers at home had already replaced her with the position of the young lady. Everyone was smiling and extremely respectful when they saw her. Li Yunze had long regarded her as his own. He was not polite when talking to her, but was casual yet close. Although Li Canghai didn't talk much, he was also very kind when he looked at her. As for Chen Cuiying, she had seen the old man treat Jiang Li with a pleasant face and satisfaction on his face these few times, so she had some confidence in her heart, so her attitude towards Jiang Li became more enthusiastic, but the enthusiasm was a little too much, so that Jiang Li didn't know how to respond, and could only keep trying to smile.

It was another extremely sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. The Li family started eating early, at five o'clock, and finished at half past six. After the meal, Li Zhendong distributed red envelopes to everyone in the family, young and old, as usual, and then let everyone go about their daily activities.

Chen Cuiying happily received the red envelope and originally wanted to stay and chat with Li Mubai, Jiang Li and others, but Li Canghai said he was tired and wanted to go back to rest. There was nothing she could do. Even if she didn't want to leave, she had to play the role of a good wife, so she had to follow him.

Li Yunze also slipped away, saying that he wanted to take advantage of today's good day to go over and say a few nice words to Fu Jingchi and get his new wife back.

That was the car he had specially modified. He had never driven it once after he got it back. He was just waiting to drive it out for a ride on New Year's Day. But unexpectedly, it was stolen by Fu Jingchi in the blink of an eye.

I'm really pissed off!

Seeing that everyone else had left and it was still early, Jiang Li didn't want to leave Li Zhendong sitting alone, so she stayed and had tea with him.

They drank until 7:40 in the evening, and seeing that they could not waste any more time, they both got up and said goodbye.

When they drove to the bridge, the eight o'clock fireworks show had just begun. There were several consecutive "bang bang bang" sounds, and the grand fireworks lit up half of the sky over the Hong Kong River. When Li Mubai turned around to look, the seat next to him was empty.

This time, Li Mubai did not panic.

A time to part, a time to meet.

Another year has passed and the new year is about to come.

He will definitely wait until the day he meets Jiang Li again.

In another time and space, back home, Jiang Li turned off the TV as if she was familiar with it, and went back to bed to take a nap very naturally.

After closing her eyes, she remembered that there was one sentence she hadn't had time to say to Li Mubai, which was: "Happy New Year, Li Mubai! See you next time."

Back to 2023.

Because the next day was her grandmother's birthday, Jiang Li had to drive to Chengdu with her parents, so she was not in a hurry to look for clues. She planned to return the film to Dong Guoqiang and ask about the situation when she came back.

But we didn’t expect that it would be three days later when we returned from Chengdu. It was grandma’s birthday and my uncle was so happy that he accidentally drank too much. He was taken to the emergency room of the hospital and almost gave everyone a heart attack. Fortunately, there was no danger in the end. We returned only after my uncle’s condition stabilized.

This time when she went to visit Dong Guoqiang, Jiang Li went to the purchasing agent store to buy some Hong Kong-specific dim sum, and specifically chose the ones she bought for him the year Dong Guoqiang left. While choosing, Jiang Li thought, fortunately this bakery is strong enough, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to buy the same flavor as before.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve seen Dong Guoqiang when he was young, but Jiang Li always thought he was very cute this time. At the same time, she felt that time is really unforgiving. The young man who seemed very young and humble a few days ago has turned into a grumpy old man in the blink of an eye.

It is true that time is a butcher's knife.

While eating Hong Kong's traditional cookies, Dong Guoqiang said with a smile: "The cookies sent by this apprentice are so delicious!"

“When I first ate this cookie, I was amazed at how delicious it was!

It's so crispy! It's so fragrant! I want to cry after taking a bite!

But it was mainly given by friends, otherwise, in those days, how could we afford to buy such rare things to eat!

right!

I tell you!

This was sent by that person... Li Mubai!

You don’t know, at that time, when our team leader saw me receiving gifts, he was so envious that his eyes almost popped out.

Just imagine, he is a big head of a group, but he has everything. I am a small employee, but such a great dubbing teacher and actor gave me gifts, I must be envious and jealous!

When I got back, I had to wear small shoes for a long time!

But compared with the grievance of being bullied and the kindness of receiving gifts, it’s nothing!

What does that mean? It means that I, your master, have a wide network of friends, good relationships with people, and many friends!

This is the greatest wealth in life..."

Jiang Li drank tea and listened to Dong Guoqiang talking, wondering, do all men like to brag when they grow up?

He wasn't like this before!

I wonder if Li Mubai will become such a nagging old man when he gets old?

Imagine...

Ah! That's terrible!

"Master, I came here this time specifically to return the film. By the way, I want to ask, do you still have Li Mubai's things?"

Dong Guoqiang was sipping tea and reminiscing about the past. When he heard this, he was stunned.

"Why are you so obsessed with Li Mubai recently?"

Jiang Li had already thought of what to say, and put on a shy look like a little girl and said, "He's handsome and has good acting skills!"

Dong Guoqiang gave a thumbs up: "You have good vision!"

"It's a pity that I don't have any more."

After Jiang Li heard this, the smile on her lips disappeared instantly. Seeing that his apprentice's expression suddenly dimmed, Dong Guoqiang quickly comforted her: "But I can ask around. We have many friends in Hong Kong! There are great opportunities!"

When Jiang Li heard this, she quickly poured him a cup of tea: "Then I'll trouble you, Master. As long as it's related to him, the more the better!"

"It's just a small matter! Back then, Li Mubai was so gentle and polite when he saw me. He..."

"He he he he he he what he he? What time is it? I've called you three times, didn't you hear me?!"

Jiang Li and Dong Guoqiang both came back to their senses and said in confusion, "No, what did you shout?"

The master's wife was furious: "What are you shouting for? I'm calling you to eat! What? Do you think bragging is a way to make a living? If bragging can keep you full, I'll take away that table of food!"

"Hey, don't, don't, don't!"

Dong Guoqiang stood up while speaking: "No wonder my stomach is growling, it turns out it was because of my wife's delicious food! Well, thank you for your hard work! I'll go wash my hands right away!"

Dong Guoqiang was about to run away, but when he saw Jiang Li still standing there, he quickly pulled her aside.

"Go wash your hands! What are you standing there for? Are you waiting for me to bring the food to you? Don't let your imagination run wild!"

Jiang Li was helpless. She walked and thought, it can be seen that Dong Guoqiang's health has improved a lot in the past few days. When he talks back at people, he is really full of energy.

The master and his apprentice went to wash their hands obediently, and when they walked to the dining table, they discovered that the master's wife had prepared a lot of good things.

Braised fish, steamed spareribs, roast chicken with potatoes, winter melon soup, and a plate of mantis shrimps.

Although this mantis shrimp is delicious, it is very troublesome to eat. It is really thorny and hard. Jiang Li accidentally got her finger pierced by it, and even blood beads came out.

Jiang Li herself didn't feel anything, but the master's wife felt very guilty. She kept muttering that it was because she didn't cut the spines cleanly when handling the mantis shrimp, which caused Jiang Li's hand to be pierced. She used alcohol to disinfect her hand and put a Band-Aid on it, making it like a big deal.

Jiang Li quickly said that she was not that pretentious. After putting the Band-Aid on the wound, she pressed the Master's wife and sat down to eat again.

After dinner, they chatted for a while and it was not until after four o'clock that Jiang Li returned home.

Just as she lay down on the bed and prepared to rest for a while, her cell phone rang. Jiang Li had been squinting her eyes. After answering the call, she realized it was Xu Wen calling. He said that he was out on business today and happened to be near her house. He asked her if she was free tonight and wanted to invite her for dinner.

The people were already near home, and it was Xu Wen who treated them last time. Jiang Li didn't want to owe him a favor, so she wanted to invite him back, so she agreed. After hanging up the phone, she thought about it, got up again, and went out to tell Su Changying that she was going out to eat in the evening.

Seeing Jiang Li was about to go out again, Su Changying's face was long: "Why don't you come home for meals? You are a single dog, but you are busier than those who are dating! Do you want to go out with Xia Luoluo to eat some messy hot pot or barbecue again? I say, you..."

Seeing that Su Changying was about to give a long speech, Jiang Li quickly interrupted and said, "It's not Xia Luoluo, it's an old classmate of mine who came back from abroad and got together."

"Old classmate, back from abroad?"

As Su Changying spoke, his eyes lit up: "Is it that Xu Wen? The one who works in finance on Wall Street?"

"ah!"

Jiang Li gave Su Changying a thumbs up and said, "You have a good memory!"

Jiang Li just said it casually last time, but she didn't expect Su Changying to still remember it.

Su Changying said with a proud "tsk" and said, "That's right! My brain is better than Einstein's! My memory is amazing..."

"Mom! Einstein got dementia in his old age."

Su Changying quickly turned around and said, "Then I will mainly follow his example when he was young, but I will still walk my own path in the future!"

Jiang Li was speechless to the extreme, and all she could say turned into a thumbs-up: "Awesome!"

After the call, Jiang Li's sleepiness disappeared. She simply went to the kitchen to make herself a cup of honey black tea, then sat down on the sofa and watched the anti-Japanese drama "Tearing the Japs with Bare Hands" with Su Changying.

Su Changying saw that Jiang Li had slumped down in the sofa, watching TV with great interest, which made him feel itchy.

"What time is your appointment with Xu Wen?"

"Six o'clock."

"Then..." Su Changying pointed at the clock on the wall: "It's already past five o'clock, why don't you hurry up and get ready?"

Jiang Li put down the teacup and asked in surprise, "What are you preparing? A gift for meeting someone?"
