160: .Love is a light
After dinner, Vu Linh Huong insisted on helping wash dishes in the kitchen, but Luu Nguyet Nga firmly refused her.
It was a joke; how could such a pampered daughter-in-law be allowed into the kitchen to wash dishes?
"Auntie, I bought a dishwasher on an online shopping platform; it's a washer and sterilizer in one, and it will arrive tomorrow."
Vu Linh Huong stood at the kitchen door; since Luu Nguyet Nga wouldn't let her wash dishes, she would stand there and chat with her.
Seeing that Luu Nguyet Nga had many dishes to wash, she casually ordered a dishwasher.
She knew Li Qinghe wouldn't notice such things, so if that was the case, she would pay attention to the household details for him.
"Little Wu, why spend that money? Quickly cancel it." Luu Nguyet Nga looked surprised; she had never considered using such a thing.
Even when Li Qinghe transferred two million dragon country currency back, she just let the money sit in the bank, gathering dust.
"Auntie, Qinghe isn't home right now. Since I'm here, I should show filial piety to you on his behalf."
Vu Linh Huong's words made Luu Nguyet Nga feel that this daughter-in-law was truly thoughtful; as for her son, she could do without him.
Le Truong Xuyen, standing by, smiled like a blooming flower; with a dishwasher, he would be liberated from chores.
After Luu Nguyet Nga finished washing the dishes, she warmly invited Vu Linh Huong to stay for the night.
Vu Linh Huong knew that Dragon Country People people only let those with a close relationship stay at their home.
Luu Nguyet Nga's action proved that she had completely accepted her; it seemed her trip to China was not in vain.
Nguyen Thi Mai Huong had originally planned to stay in a hotel, but Luu Nguyet Nga arranged for her to stay in the guest room at home.
Vu Linh Huong naturally slept in Li Qinghe's room.
"Qinghe, your relatives all seem very nice..."
Lying on Li Qinghe's bed, Vu Linh Huong made a video call to him.
At this time, Li Qinghe was sitting in a riverside cafe, drinking coffee and enjoying the river breeze.
"Yes, my grandfather taught us well back then. There's no infighting among my uncles and aunts like in other families; the entire family's relationships are very harmonious."
Li Qinghe took a leisurely sip of coffee.
"A Xiang, are you disappointed by our family's situation?"
"What's there to be disappointed about? This is where you grew up! Coming here, I feel a sense of familiarity with every plant and tree..."
"The entire bed smells like you..."
Vu Linh Huong rolled around on the bed without any restraint, completely lacking the composure she usually displayed in front of others.
Such a direct confession allowed Li Qinghe to feel her ardent emotions.
"A Xiang, I still have several other girls. Will you think I'm too greedy?"
Li Qinghe asked Vu Linh Huong very seriously.
"Haha, Qinghe, do you know? In Vietnam, capable people never complain about having too many targets; only those with limited abilities talk about acting within their means."
Vu Linh Huong's words completely stunned Li Qinghe.
He had been so moved by her that he was considering whether to control the number of his companions.
But then, oh, he realized he was too narrow-minded.
One by one, Li Qinghe shouted in real-name: "I love this kind of education in Vietnam!"
With Vu Linh Huong's level of understanding, Li Qinghe felt he could promote her to the same level as Da Mi Fan, because he discovered that these two were genuinely good to him, truly giving what they had.
Who could refuse such a woman who was wholeheartedly devoted to him? Li Qinghe felt he couldn't.
After a passionate chat with Li Qinghe, Vu Linh Huong, having dealt with so many of his relatives today, had expended a lot of energy. She yawned and said she needed a nap, telling Li Qinghe to entertain himself.
After Li Qinghe hung up the phone, Le Xuan Mai, like a graceful snake, slithered and coiled around his arm.
"Brother He, was that Dragon Country People you were speaking just now? It's so fluent."
"Want to learn? I also know English."
"Chen Yuyingqiong the night before last was learning English with me. I taught her so much, her head was almost full."
"Really? I want to learn both foreign languages."
Le Xuan Mai's eyes sparkled; she was also preparing for after her graduation.
Mastering two more foreign languages would mean she would have many more options.
"Hmm, but learning a foreign language requires a good environment. Let's find a hotel to stay in first."
"Brother He, do you prefer to teach me on the balcony, or behind the floor-to-ceiling window? I don't mind if you teach me on a cruise ship either."
Looking at Le Xuan Mai's pretty face as she leaned in, Li Qinghe smiled and pinched her cheek: "Then where do you like to be taught?"
"As long as Brother He is teaching, I like it anywhere."
This answer was perfect.
Li Qinghe searched and compared online, choosing a boutique guesthouse near Hoi An Ancient Town, a 5-minute walk from Hoi An Ancient Town.
The guesthouse was by the river, and the room Li Qinghe and his companion booked was a top-floor split-level with a small balcony.
Although the room wasn't large, it had a narrow bathtub and a decent-sized floor-to-ceiling window.
All the elements for learning foreign languages were present. The room's bedsheets and pillowcases were very clean. Li Qinghe and Le Xuan Mai were both quite satisfied with the room.
The price was also reasonable, 350,000 vietnamese dong per night, which is about 95 dragon country currency.
"You must study hard tonight, otherwise, if you open your mouth again, I won't listen."
Li Qinghe stroked Le Xuan Mai's small braid with a meaningful expression.
"Brother He, don't worry, I'm the most serious when it comes to studying." Le Xuan Mai looked very earnest, almost wanting to place Li Qinghe's hand over her heart to swear.
Seeing that it was still early, Li Qinghe asked the guesthouse owner to help book two tickets for a coconut boat tour. Coming to Hoi An, he wanted to experience everything worth doing.
According to the guesthouse owner, the owner of this coconut boat company was very nice, and her boatmen were also very good, never overcharging.
It was the most reliable coconut boat shop that his guesthouse cooperated with. Although the guesthouse owner praised it to the skies, Li Qinghe just listened tentatively, he wouldn't make a judgment until he experienced it.
However, most guesthouse owners also understand a fact: if the tour activities they recommend dissatisfy tourists, then their guesthouse business will suffer.
If it gets publicized online, their business will be hard to run.
The coconut boat activity costs 1,000,000 vietnamese dong per person, which is about 300 dragon country currency, including round-trip transportation, a coconut boat ride, and a chilled coconut upon landing.
For two people, it's over 600 dragon country currency, which isn't a cheap activity.
Coconut boats are also called basket boats. The entire boat is semi-circular, like half a coconut, and is a very distinctive type of boat here.
The hull is woven from bamboo, and the bottom and sides are brushed with a mixture of coconut oil and cow dung for waterproofing.
Coconut Boat
There are several theories about the origin of these boats. One says it's because the Nguyen Dynasty emperors levied heavy taxes on fishing boats, another says it's because the French, during the colonial period, levied heavy taxes on legitimate boats going out to sea.
But the purpose was the same: local fishermen, to avoid taxes, claimed these bamboo-woven large baskets were farming tools, thus evading heavy taxation.
Now, these boats have become very popular internet-famous boats in Hoi An.
Incidentally, coconut boats are those circular boats that spin wildly in the water, which are very popular online.
He called to confirm the pick-up location and time.
Li Qinghe and Le Xuan Mai walked out of the area of Hoi An Ancient Town where motor vehicles are prohibited.
By a distinctive, half-red stone, they met many tourists from all over the world also waiting for their pick-up vehicles.
Among them, tourists from Korea were the most numerous, which could be seen from their exaggerated body language and expressions.
Not to mention the arrogance of Koreans, as if they had a leash around their necks.
The main point is, with a dog chain on, no one is loved; with a leash on, I'm the most pretentious.
Especially a Korean couple who arrived later, the man had an air of arrogance as if the whole world should bow to him.
The girl, on the other hand, behaved well, looking demure and dressed very nicely: a camisole, slim-fit hot pants, and stockings even sexier than Le Xuan Mai's, also with a camisole.
Korean MM
They looked like a young rich second-generation Korean with his girlfriend.
Li Qinghe's glasses glinted; the girl's head showed a green tinged with white, indicating she hadn't been 'opened' many times.
Love is a ray of light, turning you green with panic; Li Ge was feeling a bit heated.
