Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

Chapter 498 Marriage is approaching?

"Weidong is here? You're not an outsider, why are you bringing something?"

As soon as Li Weidong entered a certain house with a gift, he heard a burst of complaints.

"Aunt Su, I didn't buy anything, just a box of snacks, and two small gadgets I carved myself."

Today is the weekend. Li Weidong made an appointment with Zhou Xiaobai when he was on the farm before, and he will come to the house today, and the Zhou family also knew the news of the future son-in-law's visit early, so they started to get busy early in the morning.

Li Weidong came back from the farm and went directly to Juqingzhai to buy two packs of snacks.

This dim sum shop has been moved to the capital since the Ming Dynasty. It is definitely a time-honored brand. Of course, the price is not cheap.

Different from the kind of snacks that are packaged casually in paper, all the snacks in Juqingzhai are packed in boxes, which are beautiful and high-grade. In the past, people who were not rich could not afford it.

Even now, this box of dim sum totals three catties, and each catty costs six taels of fine food stamps. That's not all, and the price of dim sum is eight yuan per catty.

In other words, this box of snacks alone costs more than 20 yuan, which can catch up with half a month's wages of ordinary workers.

So ordinary people can't afford it at all.

However, to the Zhou family, it was nothing. Although it was impossible to eat it every day, they would always buy boxes for festivals and the like.

If Li Weidong hadn't officially visited the door for the first time, he wouldn't have bought this kind of dim sum.

"The jade you carved?"

Su Peiyun took the snack box and gave it to the nanny at home. On the contrary, he was full of interest in the jade carved by Li Weidong himself.

She has seen the statue of her daughter before. Although it is not as good as a master's work, it is still a rare masterpiece.

It's hard for Li Weidong to still have this skill.

Compared with the value, she undoubtedly valued this intention more.

Especially now that Li Weidong is different from when he first met.

At the beginning, Li Weidong was just an accounting apprentice who just went to work on the farm, but now, he is the deputy captain, and she also heard her husband analyze Li Weidong's future: unlimited.

In the past, her idea was that it would be good for her daughter to find an ordinary person to marry, safe and simple, and she only had such a daughter, and the future family property would be left to her daughter, so she valued the future son-in-law more Taste.

As long as you have a good character and love your daughter, even an ordinary worker is fine.

It wasn't until the accident at home that she fully understood.

If it weren't for Li Weidong, her family would be almost ruined now.

Her husband was imprisoned, and she and Zhou Xiaobai were left to be eaten.

Therefore, she is also grateful to Li Weidong.

"Yes, don't mind if the carving is not good."

Li Weidong immediately took out a Buddha statue and a Guanyin statue he had carved not long ago.

After Su Peiyun saw it, her eyes lit up a little bit. She is not the kind of person who doesn't know the goods, so she can easily tell what level the carving level of the two pieces of jade in her hand has reached.

"You carved this?"

Su Peiyun was a little surprised, but did not suspect that Li Weidong was cheating.

"Correct."

Li Weidong nodded.

With his current carving skills, not to mention comparing with the masters, he can definitely be called a high-quality product.

"Weidong is here?"

Zhou Bingan heard the voice and came down from upstairs.

Under normal circumstances, he doesn't have any weekends, and even the more weekends, the more things he has to do. The reason why he is at home today is because Li Weidong, the future son-in-law, came to the house.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaobai took his mother aside.

"Uncle Zhou."

Li Weidong greeted him politely.

"Come on, sit here, I have been looking for a chance to thank you for the last time, but Xiaobai said that you have been too busy recently."

Zhou Bingan enthusiastically pulled Li Weidong to the living room and sat down.

"Uncle Zhou, you are being polite. The main reason is that I just changed jobs a while ago and then went on a business trip to the northwest, so I didn't come here earlier."

With his future father-in-law in front of him, Li Weidong would not be so stupid as to be in Canada. Besides, except for the time when he went to the Northwest, he can actually spare time every weekend.

On the contrary, Zhou Xiaobai was too busy to touch the ground because he had just become an assistant instructor, so he couldn't find time for it.

But Li Weidong definitely couldn't say this.

I can't say, I've wanted to come a long time ago, is it because your daughter is not free?
"Well, Xiaobai mentioned your matter a couple of times when I came back, but because of discipline, I didn't talk much about it."

Zhou Bingan paused, looking at Li Weidong with complicated eyes.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the police have set up a training base, and I'm just helping with the training."

Although it was his future father-in-law in front of him, Li Weidong didn't talk much.

The special police training base has a confidentiality level, which also means that it cannot be disclosed at will.

Zhou Bingan naturally understood this, so he just mentioned it and changed the subject.

"I've heard about Zhang Qinhua's incident, but I didn't expect it to end like this. It's also my fault that I didn't know who I was, and I almost got you involved."

Although the case was not publicized at the time, it was kept secret to a certain extent.

But Zhou Bingguo, that is, Zhou Xiaobai's uncle, is also an old man on the diplomatic side. Even though he has officially retired now, because diplomacy is eventually involved, and even Li Weidong is involved, he still knows the ins and outs of the whole thing.

The reason why Zhou Bingan knew about Zhang Qinhua's death was because Zhou Bingguo told him.

After all, the two are also entangled with each other.

Zhou Bingan almost went to jail because of the other party's "framing".

Knowing that Zhang Qinhua had teamed up with others to murder Li Weidong, Zhou Bingan was also in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Li Weidong was fine in the end.

"It has nothing to do with you. Even if there is no Zhang Qinhua, there will be Wang Qinhua and Li Qinhua. It is no wonder that the other party ended up like this."

Li Weidong has long since left Zhang Qinhua behind, and in that matter, the opponent is just a pawn, a pawn in someone else's hand.

"If you make a wrong step, you will never be able to recover. If you want to make a difference on this road, you must pay more attention. If you have any difficulties in life, you can tell Xiaobai that you and Aunt Su only have one daughter."

Zhou Bing'an's words were a little thorny, and he almost told Li Weidong that the family property accumulated by the Zhou family will eventually be given to Zhou Xiaobai. As long as you treat my daughter well, it will be yours sooner or later, so don't worry about it. Jujube, just make mistakes.

"Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I won't make mistakes on this kind of problem."

Li Weidong said frankly.

money?
He has no shortage at all, and it doesn't mean much to have money now, even if he spends it hard, he can't spend much, and there is nowhere to spend it.

In contrast, food is the most important.

But because Li Weidong has a game farm, the last thing he lacks is food.

As for the Zhou family's family business, he never thought about it.

If you really want to make money, after the 80s, there are plenty of opportunities, even if you don't do business, just invest according to the memory in your mind, you can make your children and grandchildren rich and noble for a lifetime.

What's more, at that time, if he is still greedy for money, it can only mean that he is useless.

Zhou Bingan also just tasted it, he knew very well how smart his future son-in-law was, so he would definitely understand what he meant.

Afterwards, the two began to talk about some business matters. Zhou Bingan was basically talking about it. Li Weidong would mention a few words from time to time. The key point is quite a sharp taste.

The occasional comments made him suddenly enlightened, so the more he talked, the more interested he was.

"Okay, why are you talking so much today? Weidong has been pulling him to talk since he sat down. You are not tired, but he is. Hurry up and pack up and eat."

It was almost noon, Su Peiyun came up to interrupt, glaring at her husband dissatisfied.

Zhou Bingan was talking vigorously, but was suddenly interrupted, and couldn't help but want to stare, but he immediately realized that he had gone too far, and immediately smiled apologetically at Li Weidong.

"Look at me, it's already noon, are you hungry? Then let's eat first."

After eating, Zhou Bingan did not occupy Li Weidong any more and returned it to his precious daughter.

Li Weidong was finally able to go to Zhou Xiaobai's boudoir to find out.

It's rare for the two of them to have time to be together, but it's just a tacit understanding between one who pushes forward and the other who wants to refuse and welcome.

In the afternoon, when Li Weidong left, Su Peiyun also prepared a gift for Li Weidong and asked him to take it home to his family. Li Weidong declined several times, but he couldn't stand it anymore and had to accept it.

After waving goodbye to the reluctant Zhou Xiaobai, Li Weidong drove home in a jeep.

"Why did you buy something again?"

Zhang Xiuzhen saw that Li Weidong came back at this point, still carrying a lot of things, so she couldn't help but said.

It's not that she thinks that Li Weidong spends money indiscriminately, but she wants to take care of Li Weidong, the main reason is that the family has everything now, and she is used to frugality, even if the family is getting richer now, she is reluctant.

What's more, Li Weidong is no longer young and has to save money to marry a wife.

"I went to Xiaobai's house today. Her parents gave it to me. It's hard to refuse."

Li Weidong handed the things to Zhang Xiuzhen casually.

Families like Su Peiyun are good at welcoming and sending gifts, and the gifts they give out are neither too expensive nor contemptuous.

On the way, Li Weidong flipped through them casually. They were basically gifts for the old lady, his parents, and younger siblings. They were definitely just right.

"Going to Xiaobai's house? You child, don't know to tell me in advance, I will prepare some gifts for you, and I will be a guest at Xiaobai's house. How can there be any reason to carry things back?"

Hearing Li Weidong's words, Zhang Xiuzhen's eyes widened, and she couldn't help raising her voice a little.

"Hey, it's mainly because I went home with Xiaobai, so I didn't have time to come back and tell you. As for the gifts for Xiaobai's house, I bought them on the way. These are what her mother insisted on giving me, and I can't refuse."

Li Weidong had no choice but to make up an excuse.

"By the way, Xiaobai's parents said that when they are free someday, the two families will sit together."

He didn't lie about this, Su Peiyun did tell him about it during lunch.

In her eyes, since her daughter has identified Li Weidong, and she and Zhou Bingan are also satisfied with Li Weidong, there is no need to delay this marriage, and even plan to let the two get married early.

Although Li Weidong's age is a bit too young, Zhou Xiaobai is a few years older than him after all, and after a few more years, he will become an old lady.

Even if they don't get married right now, the two families can meet and talk, and get engaged early.

"Ah, sit together?"

As expected, Zhang Xiuzhen's attention was diverted, and then her face was full of joy. Since the woman made this request, it means that she is very satisfied with Li Weidong. The subconscious meaning of the two families must be to settle down.

For this, she couldn't wish for more.

She has met Zhou Xiaobai twice, and although she doesn't know much about him, she likes him from the bottom of her heart. Not to mention good-looking, the key is that she looks like a lady from a big family.

If we talk about the past, she would still be a little apprehensive. After all, she also has a certain understanding of Zhou Xiaobai's family background, and the four words of being well-matched have long been engraved in people's bones.

But since Li Weidong continued to make meritorious service, and even brought back the first-class meritorious service, she no longer had such worries.

You know, this is first-class merit. What family background is better than this first-class merit?
Moreover, Li Weidong is still the deputy captain now, and he is completely worthy of the opponent.

"Okay, sit down, do you want to call your dad back then?"

As Zhang Xiuzhen spoke, she became hesitant.

"Call it. If he's not here, it's a bit embarrassing. I'll notify him in advance when the date is set."

Even if Li Weidong has a bad relationship with Li Shuqun, it would be a bit too much if he didn't inform Li Shuqun, who is a father, for this kind of in-law meeting.

"You don't need to go, I will inform your dad when the time comes."

Zhang Xiuzhen seemed relieved, with a smile on her face.

In her eyes, nothing is more important than family health, family harmony and harmony.

She also hopes that the father-son relationship between Li Weidong and Li Shuqun can improve.

"Row."

Li Weidong nodded.

After entering the house, the old lady dragged and nagged for more than half an hour.

After knowing that Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaobai were going to have a good relationship, the smile on the old lady's face never stopped.

Finally, the day has come.

She brought Li Weidong into the city, didn't she just want to find a job for Li Weidong, and then talk about marriage, so that she could hug her big fat grandson sooner?
In this way, she fulfilled her original promise to the old man, and she will have no regrets in this life.

Li Weidong didn't return to his room until he calmed down the old lady's excitement.

In the north room, Zhang Xiuzhen talked to the old lady about vacating a house for Li Weidong.

When Li Weidong first came here, she offered to renovate the east room and move there. She was reluctant at first, but she was reluctantly persuaded by Li Weidong, and the decoration of the east room was good, so Li Weidong let him.

But now, Li Weidong is about to get married.

In her understanding, as long as the two families meet, they will definitely get married in the future, and it will not take more than half a year, or even two or three months.

That's right, it's so fast now, it's completely unsuitable to talk about a relationship for a few years.

And if Li Weidong is going to get married, he will definitely not be able to live in the east room anymore, and she has no face to tell her in-laws about it.

So the old lady and a couple of children could only vacate the north house, and then reorganize it, and use it as a wedding room for Li Weidong.

This time, she didn't plan to discuss with Li Weidong, and even paid for it herself.

The old lady naturally had no opinion at all, and even wanted to pay, but she was rejected by Zhang Xiuzhen. The last time she refurbished Li Weidong's east house, she was responsible for it, so if she has experience, she can just invite the master who tidied up the house back then.

As for the two little guys, they immediately cheered when they heard that they could live in Li Weidong's east room.

Although it is a bit small over there, it is beautiful inside, and there is a bathroom, so I don’t need to freeze my buttocks in winter, so I am happy to think about it.

Therefore, several members of the family passed unanimously.

As for Li Shuqun's opinion?

At this moment, he was completely ignored, not to mention that he was not at home, even if he was at home, Zhang Xiuzhen would not care about his opinion on this matter.

This time, she has to call the shots.
