Chapter 235 New Year’s greetings
This computer costs just over two thousand yuan, which was considered low-end even ten years ago. It naturally could not run Assassin's Creed and Grand Theft Auto, which were released not long ago.

I really miss my 4090... It's all Li Xiuyu's fault, my computer was working just fine, but he insisted on giving me a 4090, so I had to replace my CPU with a 14900k, and I was also forced to replace the power supply and the motherboard... In the end, I had no choice but to replace the entire case and the monitor, and I spent a lot of money in vain!
Fortunately, it was not a waste. The old computer was given to Hu Mengke, and the 3060ti can meet her daily needs.

Li Zhuangsheng was bored and playing the modified version of Three Kingdoms 7. As usual, he chose Liu Bei to start the game. This keyboard and mouse were bought together for a few dozen yuan from a street stall. They felt very light. They were far inferior to the rog mouse and keyboard he would buy in the future.

By the way, that mouse and keyboard was given by Hu Mengdie. The other party didn't know much about electronic equipment, so he probably got it from Baidu.

Li Zhuangsheng thought of Hu Mengdie and sighed softly again.

In fact, his original mouse and keyboard were no worse than the one given by Hu Mengdie, but he decisively replaced them after receiving the gift. What kind of broken equipment is worthy of being compared with the gift given by my wife?
Why did I have these random thoughts again? Li Zhuangsheng shook his head. He played the game until about 11:30, then turned off the computer and went to bed.

The atmosphere on the second day was still a little strange. The usually talkative Li Minghua was still a little silent, and so was Chen Lanying. Of the three, Li Xiuyu was the most normal, talking to Li Zhuangsheng as if nothing had happened.

It seems like nothing happened.

I did my homework in the morning and prepared to go out to tutor Hu Mengke in the afternoon.

However, he did not go directly to the Hu family. Instead, he went to the supermarket first and bought some fruits, snacks, health products and so on.

After all, it is the New Year, so etiquette is still necessary.

When Li Zhuangsheng was shopping in the supermarket, he wondered if it was appropriate for him to do so. But he felt guilty about visiting his ex-wife empty-handed during the Chinese New Year. Even if he and Hu Mengdie were divorced, he shouldn't visit his ex-wife empty-handed during the Chinese New Year. Besides, his father-in-law and mother-in-law treated him like their own son, so it was reasonable for him to buy some gifts for that reason alone.

However, according to what Hu Mengdie said, she did not confess to her parents that Li Zhuangsheng had also been reborn. The few times she went to give Hu Mengke tutoring before, his parents were not at home. It should be that Hu Mengdie deliberately sent them away.

This was a tacit understanding between the two that had never been spoken out loud.

Thanks to this, Li Zhuangsheng is too embarrassed to see them now. After all, he had vowed in front of the two elders that he would make their daughter happy, but in the blink of an eye he turned out to be a heartless man. How can he face them now?
Even though the two of them didn't know about Li Zhuangsheng's rebirth, they knew that Hu Mengdie was severely punished by the school for her loud confession at school, and they probably wouldn't be able to fool her even if they pretended to be stupid.

Li Zhuangsheng was pushing the shopping cart to check out when his cell phone suddenly vibrated. It was a text message from Lin Yuehua using her grandmother's cell phone: [Do your homework well! ]

"I know!" Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but grin and replied quickly.

[I bought some wool and am knitting a scarf for you. I will give it to you as a reward if you do your homework well.] Lin Yuehua sent another text message.

Li Zhuangsheng was slightly startled, and the smile on his lips became wider: [Well, it will definitely be very beautiful. ]

After taking a taxi to Hu Mengdie's residential area, Li Zhuangsheng went upstairs carrying a lot of bags and knocked on the door.

Poking out from the door were those quirky yet charming eyes.

"Brother-in-law, you're here! Oh, now that you're here, why did you buy so much food?"

Hu Mengke's mouth was split with laughter. She couldn't wait to take the package from Li Zhuangsheng and shouted into the house, "Sister, my brother-in-law is here!"

Hu Mengdie walked out quickly with a slight smile on her face: "Why did you buy so many things? You must have spent a lot of money, right?"

"Not much..."

Li Zhuangsheng looked unnatural. After they became strangers again, Li Zhuangsheng really didn't know how to interact with Hu Mengdie. "You haven't changed at all. I know you can make money by writing novels, but don't squander it. You should save some money. In the future... you have to have your own life." Hu Mengdie's tone was concerned, but also revealed some light reproach.

Li Zhuangsheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded awkwardly.

Li Zhuangsheng has a straightforward personality and a smooth life. He is not embarrassed by money, so he never cares about money. If he loses money, he can earn it again. Anyway, he can receive royalties just by typing on the keyboard.

Hu Mengdie, however, did not agree with Li Zhuangsheng's view on money and had advised him many times. Li Zhuangsheng agreed verbally, but it was difficult for him to completely change this habit in a short period of time. And since Hu Mengke and Xuanxuan moved in, Li Zhuangsheng would take special care of this poor orphan and widow.

Li Zhuangsheng felt that one of the reasons why he was a "literary youth" was that his life had been too smooth, so he had too much free time to complain about anything.

Just at this moment, Hu Mengdie's casual rebuke reminded Li Zhuangsheng of Hu Mengdie's previous admonition to him:

You...don't spend so much all the time, you should save some money. In the future...we will have our own children...

The similar tone made him realize that five months ago, the two of them had such a close relationship.

"Brother-in-law, Happy New Year and may you make a fortune!"

Hu Mengke put away the bags that Li Zhuangsheng brought, then smiled and bowed to him with his fist.

Li Zhuangsheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Hu Mengke's expectant eyes, then smiled and took out a hundred yuan from his pocket: "Here, I heard that your grades have improved, so this is your New Year's money!"

"Ouch, don't give it to her!"

Hu Mengdie wanted to stop it, but it was too late. Hu Mengke took it and the smile on his face became even bigger.

"Brother-in-law, I love you so much!"

Hu Mengke put the money in his pocket and gave Li Zhuangsheng a big hug.

Hu Mengdie pulled Hu Mengke away in a chastised tone, "Money is everything! Your brother-in-law is giving you free tutoring and even paying you, right?"

"My brother-in-law gave it to me, what does it have to do with you!" Hu Mengke said confidently, "Brother-in-law, ignore this vicious woman, dump her quickly, and I'll be your girlfriend!"

"I'm afraid the police will come to find me the next day."

Li Zhuangsheng knew that Hu Mengke was just playing around, so he didn't take it seriously. He just thought that girls really matured early. Hu Mengke was only in the sixth grade, but her body looked almost mature. Especially her beautiful and charming eyes, which didn't have the tiredness of the future Hu Mengke.

"Brother-in-law, let's go back to the house for class!" Hu Mengke pulled Li Zhuangsheng into the house, then made a face at Hu Mengdie.

"Hey, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, have you seen that..." As soon as he entered the bedroom, Hu Mengke closed the door and couldn't wait to recommend it to Li Zhuangsheng.

"You mean the TV series you acted in?" Li Zhuangsheng nodded with a smile, "I've seen it, you acted well, you played the villain very well, I feel like the protagonist is not as good looking as you!"
