Chapter 33: Grandfather and grandson talk
As soon as he heard Qi Fei's words, the smile on Old Man Li's face was even more than that.
Haha, Qi Fei, do you know? In a week, it will be my 80th birthday.
Qi Fei said respectfully when he heard this: "Grandpa, it seems that we are really coincidental this time, and it will be just in time for your eightieth birthday."
Old lady Li smiled and said: "Qi Fei, do you know? This is the happiest day I have ever had in the past seven years, I used to fantasize about whether I would be able to see you again on the day I die, but fortunately, God took pity on me, a bad old man, and sent you to me again."
Qi Fei said in a crying tone when he heard this: "Grandpa, in the future, your grandson will definitely serve you well by your side."
When Mrs. Li heard this, she patted Qi Fei's shoulder and said, "Good boy."
At this time, the current head of the Li family said: "Father's family banquet has been prepared!
When Mrs. Li heard this, he hurriedly said: "Look at my old man, I'm really confused, I forgot the family banquet I prepared while chatting, and I quickly ordered the family banquet to start."
At the family banquet, Mrs. Li kept serving vegetables for Qi Fei and Xia Ziyan and said, "Qi Fei, Ziyan, you two eat more, don't be restrained."
Qi Fei and Xia Ziyan nodded, and then Qi Fei said, "Grandpa, you don't have to be so polite, we are not outsiders."
The old man laughed.
At this time, the housekeeper walked in and said, "Old lady, the head of the family, the people of the Luo family came to ask for a meeting", at this time the old man Li frowned and said: "What are you going to do, did you ask him what is the matter".
The housekeeper said, "I asked, and he said he was here to get out of the marriage."
What, how can this be reasonable, the little Luo family dared to withdraw from the marriage of our Li family At this time, the current head of the Li family said fiercely.
Dad, you are here first, and my son will go back when he goes, said the head of the Li family.
Old Man Li nodded and did not speak.
Let's go, take me to see what the hell you want to make trouble today. The head of the Li family said to the housekeeper.
After the two left, Qi Fei opened his mouth and asked, "Grandpa, what's going on."
Old Man Li sighed and said: "Here's the thing, my third grandson fell in love with a woman from the Luo family, so your uncle took someone to propose marriage, originally the Luo family had agreed to marry, but now I don't know why I regret it."
Qi Fei said lightly to the old man: "Grandpa, please forgive your grandson for talking too much."
The old man glanced at Qi Fei and said, "If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it."
Qi Fei said: "The old man's twisted melon, after all, is not sweet, let two people who don't love each other be together, do you think the two parties will be happy after marriage?"
Alas, Qi Fei, it's not that grandpa doesn't know this truth, it's just that my third grandson won't marry her, tell me what this is called!
Qi Fei was selectively silent at this time.
In the living room of the Li family, the head of the Li family sat on the main seat and said with a displeased face: "Why didn't the head of your family come to withdraw from the marriage in person and send such a small person as you?"
The middle-aged man was not angry because of the Li family's words, but said with a smile: "Master Li, I'm very sorry, my lord is entertaining the VIPs from the capital, so I'm really sorry that I can't come in person."
As soon as the head of the Li family heard the dignitaries coming down from the capital, he hurriedly asked, "I don't know which person in the capital came to your house as a guest."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's Commander Xiao of the Xiao family."
When the head of the Li family heard this, his face changed instantly, but then he returned to normal, and then said: "Go back and tell your family master, since your family is now entertaining distinguished guests, then I will also give your Luo family a face, and I will come to the door in person to reason in a few days."
The middle-aged man said, "I will definitely bring this to the head of the Li family."
Someone!
Seeing off the people sent by the Luo family, the head of the Li family walked to the backyard with a panicked face.
Father is not good, something happened to the head of the Li family and said in a panic.
Old Man Li looked at his flustered look and said hatefully: "You are already a family now, don't be impatient and impatient, just straighten your anger and talk about it."
After a long while, the head of the Li family said: "Father Xiao's family sent someone, and now he is a guest at Luo's house."
Why did the Xiao family send someone here at this time, it wasn't to deal with my Li family, who is the one who came?
I asked Commander Xiao, who is said to be the Xiao family, and the head of the Li family said.
I know, go and send someone to inquire about the purpose of his trip, and send more people to the capital to check what their Xiao family is doing Old man Li said.
Yes, father, I will arrange it immediately, and the head of the Li family said it and then withdrew.
At this time, Old Man Li said to Qi Fei: "Xiao Fei, I'm sorry, if there is any place where the hospitality is not good, please bear with me."
Qi Fei said: "Grandpa, you are too polite, by the way, what is the origin of this Xiao family, grandpa, why are you so cautious about them!"
Alas, grandpa won't hide it from you, this Xiao family and I have always been political enemies, I have been fighting with them for decades, I don't know if the purpose of their trip is to fight for my Li family, if so, then my Li family is in danger.
Grandpa, you have paid so much for the country, how can they target you?
Haha, child, you are still a lot younger, grandpa told you that if people are valuable in this life, they will treat you as an ancestor, and when you lose your value, you are a stumbling block for them to move forward, and they will not hesitate to remove you as a stumbling block, because you are blocking their way.
Qi Fei nodded and said: "Grandpa, they are so hateful, they are now constantly attacking people who are useful to the country, they don't know how to use merit, but help to abuse." First it's the dragon, then it's your old man, and I don't know who it is next.
Old man Li said: "It's not that they are hateful, but that the people in power have been blinded, this is a game of chess they play, all of us are in the chessboard, and all of our lives are in the hands of the chess players, we are just chess pieces on the chessboard, at the mercy of others, we are powerless to resist."
No, grandpa, you are wrong, we should fight back, sooner or later one day I will fight to get out of the chessboard and become a chess player to play with the other party, Qi Fei secretly made up his mind, in the future, he must work hard to practice from a chess piece at the mercy of others to a chess player who plays against him.
Old Man Li said: "It is a good thing that you have this determination" but people, you must learn to forbear, and temporary forbearance is to better draw the sword.
Qi Fei nodded and said, "My grandson has been taught."
