Chapter 67

In mid-March, Hannah's birthday came.

The weather was gloomy. Li Du brought an umbrella when he went out in the morning. He thought it might rain that day.

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, especially in Arizona, one of the least rainfall states in the United States.

He took Ah Meow to Hannah's apartment building. As soon as he entered the door, Ah Meow licked his mouth with his tongue, his two big eyes were round, his little nose twitched, and he went straight to the kitchen.

There is a strong aroma of creamy pastry in the room, which is second only to seafood such as fish and shrimp in Ah Meow's recipes.

Hannah, who was wearing an apron, knew who was coming when she heard the meow, and didn't even look outside, but said in the kitchen: "Hey, Li, you came early enough, Boss Fu is still asleep .”

Hans' voice came from upstairs: "I heard it, I woke up a long time ago!"

The two brothers and sisters began to quarrel, and Li Du smiled and said: "Happy birthday, Hannah, I wish you a happy life every year. Boss Fu, please shut up. Hannah is the focus of today. What."

"Okay, I'll listen to Li." Hans lazily walked downstairs.

Li Du washed his hands and went to help in the kitchen, and asked, "Are there going to be many guests today? You prepared this cake early enough."

Hannah smiled and said, "Of course, I have to entertain guests later, and then I won't have time to work again."

There are a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator and cupboard, Li Du said: "I will help you clean up, you bake the cake and go to rest, today is your big day, how can I let you work?"

Hannah didn't refuse, and walked out after thanking her.

Hans leaned on the door panel and asked, "Aren't you going to change your mind? Hannah is such a great girl!"

Li Dulisuo chose the celery and said: "If I agree, Hannah is a super good girl, but there is no spark between us. We will become good friends, not a good couple."

Hans wanted to say something else, but Hannah's voice sounded: "Boss Fu, come on, help me hang up these lanterns, don't be idle, OK?"

At around ten o'clock, the number of visitors gradually increased, and the small building became lively.

Hannah introduced to the two that the people who came here were mainly her colleagues at work. She worked in a convenience store.

It can be seen that Hannah's popularity is very good.

Seeing Li Du and Boss Fu, these people lined up in a row, like a team receiving a review, and they looked respectful when they stretched out their hands.

Seeing this, Li Du smiled and said, "What's the matter? We are Hannah's elder brother, not your chief. Everyone seems a little cautious?"

A young man said: "Hello, Li, we have admired you two for a long time. Now your stories are being circulated in Qigan City, and your experience of picking up treasures in the warehouse is simply amazing."

Li Du suddenly realized that this was the case. It is estimated that Hannah often brags about the two of them, otherwise these people would not look like idols.

Hans is the best at dealing with this kind of situation, he quickly mingled with these people, and after a few minutes, several men were already whispering about which girl in the red-light district of Flagstaff City is alive and which girl has long legs...

The relatives of the two brothers and sisters also came later, Hannah's aunt's family, uncle's family, and other relatives, there were more than 20 people.

Americans attach great importance to kinship, and Hans no longer smiles when he sees these elders, but shows his steady and mature side.

When it was almost noon, another group of people arrived, that is Stephen, the car repair boy, and he brought a few young men and women. Hannah happily went up to hug them when she saw them, and then Li Du judged from their chat that this was a middle school. classmate.

His personality tends to be quiet, and the room is full of authentic Americans, so it is not natural for him to stay here, so he asks to go to the kitchen to prepare dishes.

Hans didn't treat him as an outsider, so he pulled him and said, "You still need to prepare meals? Let's roast some meat and order takeaway. Come, come, let me introduce our relatives to you."

"Our family?" Li Du noticed that Stephen's face changed after hearing this word, as if it was the sky outside.

Hans said confidently: "That's right, you are the brother of my Boss Fu, isn't my relative your relative or our relative?"

Stephen's expression looked much better immediately, and the cloudy sky outside turned sunny.

Li Du still insisted on going to the kitchen to cook. Hannah came in to help, but she pushed him out, saying that he should leave it to him.

Stephen and a few classmates also walked into the kitchen, and a young man with dreadlocks said, "It's almost half past eleven, and you only have enough time to cook one or two dishes? What is this, pretending?" "

Hannah glanced back at the little dreadlocks, and said, "Klein, don't say that."

Stephen shook his head at Crane and said, "Li has been busy in the kitchen this morning, so it's not fair to him to say that."

Klein whispered: "Stupid Stephen, you are as honest as you were in middle school, just watch Hannah being chased by others, you should seize every opportunity to hit him!"

The kitchen space is small, everyone heard this, Stephen quickly waved his hand and said: "No, Klein, for the sake of the Virgin Mary, don't say such things."

Li Du looked at the little dreadlock with interest and said, "Are you Klein? It's 11:30, how about lunch starting at 12:00? I'll prepare a sumptuous dinner for you, sumptuous Chinese food."

"Half an hour? You alone? How is that possible!" the little dreadlocks curled his lips and said.

Li Du said: "Well, let's make a bet. The loser will do a favor to the winner. Of course, this favor should not be excessive, dare you?"

Little Dirty Pigtail is not a brave and foolhardy guy, seeing Mr. Li's confident appearance, he hesitated a little.

Several other classmates encouraged him:

"Go Klein, he can't cook a big meal in half an hour!"

"There are more than 30 of us, and one person cooks such a big meal in half an hour? Ha, unless he is David Copperfield, a light and shadow magician."

"Slap him in the face, brother, and let Stephen get angry."

With so many people agitating, the little dirty pigtail couldn't be coaxed, he folded his arms on his chest and said proudly: "Just bet."

Stephen stopped the little dreadlocks and said, "Don't, buddy, Hans told me that Li has a nickname in Chinese casinos called Jin-Gao."

"Who is Jin-Gao?" Little Dirty Braid was confused.

Hannah explained: "The Chinese would call him Gao Jin, the legendary gambling king."

Li Du pushed them out of the kitchen with a smile, and said, "Okay, the bet has already started, everyone make way for me, I'm going to start work."

The little dirty braid stepped back and asked, "Are you really the king of gambling? Then who is better, you or Peter Eastgate?"

Peter Eastgate is Danish, but he is well-known in the American gambling circle. In 2008, in Las Vegas, a casino, a world poker tournament was held. Peter went all the way to win the crown and finally won 9.15 million US dollars , famous all over the United States!

Li Du smiled and said, "After half an hour, you will know the answer."
