Chapter 5
Zhao Fatyi and Li Hao, who have been married for many years, still insist on taking their dogs out for a walk every night. The two of them each led a dog, and walked along the road around the neighborhood with a smile and a smile, and when they were almost done, they would sit on a bench on the side of the street and chat, and the two dogs also sat obediently on the side. Li Hao took his wife's hand and said with a smile: "We are really like in that song, we are slowly growing old together, this is really our luck! Wife, we are all over forty, we must take good care of our bodies, we must not be too anxious to get angry, let alone angry, we must grow old slowly with a calm heart!" Li Hao is most worried about Zhao Fatyi, she was once so sick that he thought he would really lose her? After so many years, he still has an unforgettable feeling at that time.
Zhao Panyi smiled and patted her husband's big hand, "Okay, we must grow old together slowly and healthily, no one can leave who leaves first?" Zhao Panyi stretched out her little thumb and pulled the hook with her husband, which made Li Hao smile happily. "Husband, I remember that next month is my mother-in-law's birthday, right? This year is my mother-in-law's 70th birthday, we have to prepare for her well, so that she is satisfied and happy. What do you think?"
Li Hao looked at his wife blankly, she had never forgotten her mother-in-law's birthday for so many years, and she never needed him to say that she was ready. Every birthday is because her mother doesn't want to celebrate it, and she is worried about witnessing her aging, so it almost becomes Zhao Fatyi preparing a table of delicious meals, and then asking the children to do something for her grandmother to make her happy. This year is my mother's birthday, and they should take care of it so that my mother doesn't mind getting old. "Do you have any good ideas, or do you want everyone to have a meal or ask the children to prepare some gifts? I want to change the way this year and make my parents happy, how about it?"
"Or, let the parents on both sides go out to travel, we will pay all the expenses, and give the parents-in-law a lot of pocket money, what do you think?" Zhao Fatyi looked at Li Hao and said with a smile. Once because his father invited his in-laws to travel, his mother-in-law was angry for a while. This time, the children are filial to their parents on both sides, and the mother-in-law shouldn't be so angry anymore, right?" "We are responsible for all the expenses of the four old people's travel, and the mother-in-law shouldn't be angry with me about this, right?" Zhao Panyi's status as a good daughter-in-law has been continuing, and she occasionally gets a few words of praise from her mother-in-law. "Husband, if you discuss it with your father, in case I do something bad with good intentions and make my mother unhappy, then this birthday will be meaningless. Let Dad try Mom's tone first, if she is willing to travel, we will prepare for them, how about it?" After decades of getting along, Zhao Fatyi knows her mother-in-law's strong personality very well, and sometimes even Li Hao and the children are helpless.
At home, Father Li looked at his wife and asked with a smile: "How are you going to spend your 70th birthday this time?" Last time I celebrated my 70th birthday, you didn't let your children help me, what are you going to do this time?" Father Li was a little concerned about his wife's stop last time, so he didn't have a happy birthday.
"Do you think the children will prepare any surprises for me? Isn't Zhao Fatyi's personality always surprising?" Mother Li said of her daughter-in-law with a satisfied smile. She had to admit that Zhao Fatyi had indeed been a good daughter-in-law for decades.
"When did you start to be so interested in your daughter-in-law? Haven't you always been dissatisfied with her? What's wrong with this time, how did you start praising your daughter-in-law? Are you really satisfied with Fat Yi? Or are you just looking forward to a birthday present?" Father Li asked his wife with a smile. Although he knew that Mother Li was not such a person, he still wanted to confirm that this mother-in-law had finally changed her attitude towards her daughter-in-law? He used to suspect Zhao Fatyi, because she was almost the same as when she first visited their house, and there was hardly any big change, let alone getting old? Such a daughter-in-law is naturally worried, because his son is not the best, let alone really worthy of Zhao Fatyi. Since that time, Li's father has never seen anyone else send his daughter-in-law home, and he is relieved. In the final analysis, he is just worried about his son, if Li Hao loses Zhao Fatyi, even he, the father, can't predict how his son will react violently?
Zhao Fatyi in the office stared blankly at the computer screen, and her friend came over and patted her on the shoulder and said, "What's the matter, what do you want?" I called you twice, and you didn't even turn your head to look at me?" "Fat Yi, what's wrong, why are you so listless, it can't be my brother-in-law Li Hao bullying you, right? It's okay, tell me, I'll go find Li Hao to be angry for you!" Dr. Wang always regarded himself as an elder brother and didn't feel anything wrong.
"No, it's my mother-in-law's 70th birthday, and I want to give the old man a good time. However, at most, it is a family meal together, and then let the old people go out to travel, and almost can't think of any better ideas to make the old people even happier?" Zhao Panyi said with a smile. For so many years, she wanted to give her mother-in-law a different birthday and make her truly happy.
"Look, you're showing your daughter-in-law's identity again? Fat Yi, it's enough for you to do this, you don't need anything else. How old is your mother-in-law, don't think of any novel ideas to make her happy, or keep it as it is, maybe it touches her the most, maybe?"
Zhao Fatyi thought about it: "That's right, I won't be grandstanding, it's better to keep it as it is." Filial piety to one's parents is actually to follow their wishes. This is filial piety in the true sense. Okay, I see, thanks, give me a good suggestion". After Zhao Fatyi finished speaking, she smiled again: "Invite you to dinner tomorrow as a thank you, okay?" Zhao Fatyi's personality is that she doesn't like to owe favors to others.
After discussing with Li Hao, Zhao Panyi decided to invite the four old people to travel, and the two of them would bear all the expenses. Li Hao himself also thinks that this method is good, since it is filial piety, it is not only filial piety to one's parents, and Fat Yi's parents should also be filial piety! The whole family went to Zhao Guoqiang's shop for dinner, and Zhao Guoqiang smiled and said to his in-laws: "Today is the seventieth birthday of my mother-in-law, and we have not prepared any gifts, so let's take this carefully prepared meal as a little of our heart!"
Mother Li smiled a little embarrassedly, "My father-in-law is too polite." I'm very grateful for that. Mother Li didn't bother with her in-laws this time, whether she was showing off anything in front of them again. This time, she gladly accepted the kindness. "Fat Yi has been married to Li Hao for so many years, and she has always been filial and take care of us, and I have always picked on Fat Yi, this is my mother-in-law who is too stingy. Fat Yi has always been filial to us, and her in-laws are well educated, so I should thank my in-laws for marrying Fat Yi into our family and making our son so happy. In-laws, thank you!" "For the first time, Mother Li said what was in her heart. It's either that she doesn't know that Zhao Fatyi is indeed a rare good daughter-in-law, or sometimes she can't stand her son's excessive love and obedience to Zhao Fatyi, so she often deliberately looks for her daughter-in-law's stubble.
Zhao Panyi looked at her mother-in-law blankly, she had been married to Li Hao for so many years, and her mother-in-law recognized her for the first time as a good daughter-in-law and her filial piety and hard work. "Mom, thank you for saying that, thank you for thinking so, I'm so touched, thank you. Zhao Panyi choked. Li Hao hugged his wife's shoulders and smiled at his mother. Originally, he and his wife had lost hope and let their mother accept or like Fat Yi, but now the peaks are turning around, and their wishes for many years have been fulfilled.
"Mom, I'm glad you think so. Li Hao was also very happy.
Mother Li smiled, "This time for my birthday, I want to invite my in-laws to travel with us, and when the two children are on vacation, we will go out together." For so many years, I have never taken the initiative to invite my in-laws, my wife and I have a treat, and we go out together to have fun. Mother Li's words made Father Li turn his head to look at her in surprise. Is this still a wife who has been diligent and thrifty all her life? She is willing to treat guests, and she is a husband and wife who are connected to her in-laws?
Li Hao also looked at his mother in great surprise, is this a mother who has been frugal since she was a child? However, Li Hao still knows her mother well, and she is completely different from his wife. Li Hao smiled and asked, "My mother, where do you plan to go when you invite the whole family out to play this time?" Li Hao's deliberately joking question made Li's mother a little unhappy, is that all her son knows about himself?
"How about you choose a place this time, and I'll be in charge of entertaining you?" said Li Mu with a smile. Over the years, Fat Yi not only did not ask her in-laws for living expenses, but gave pocket money to the two elderly people every month, and this has been the case for decades. Mother Li listened to the complaints of friends around her and realized what kind of treasure her daughter-in-law is?
Zhao Fatyi pulled her husband, "It was originally my mother's treat, so of course my mother chose the place." Mom, no matter where you like, we will listen to you! Your birthday, of course, you are the biggest, you have full control! The two youngest in our family, you say, right?" Zhao Fatyi always remember to ask the children's opinions, they are members of the family, and Zhao Fatyi wants to hear their opinions on any decision. If you say it right, it is good to listen to them; if you say it is wrong, it doesn't matter, after you have your own opinions, you can naturally take responsibility and make the right choices and decisions. Zhao Fatyi always pays attention to the cultivation of children, but sometimes she makes herself very hard and tired! She used to be willful, but because of her son's words, she always reminded herself what a mother, a wife, and a daughter-in-law must do, and she can't hurt any innocent family members because of her relationship!
The two children said in unison: "We all listen to grandma, and we like it wherever grandma goes." The two children inherited the good temper of Li Hao and Zhao Fatyi who did not compete for anything. Mother Li looked at the happy scene of the family with satisfaction, and then looked at the smile on her daughter-in-law's face, isn't this the life she wants the most? Why do you still look down on Fat Yi? It's just that her son cares too much about her daughter-in-law, so she doesn't feel very comfortable as a mother.
"Wife, now we are waiting for our granddaughter to be admitted to college, waiting for our grandson to get married and have children, so we all have to be healthy. Father Li took his wife's hand and said with a smile. It is the greatest happiness for a family to be together safely and healthily.
Zhao Guoqiang bought a house in his daughter's community, Zhao Guoqiang asked his daughter with a smile: "What's wrong with your mother-in-law? Why is she so good to you all of a sudden? He even said thank you for agreeing to marry you to Li Hao, this is the first time since you got married, right? Fat Yi, have you done anything that has moved your mother-in-law so much?" Zhao Guoqiang has always felt sorry for his daughter, even if he tried his best to be filial, he still couldn't get a word of praise from Li's mother.
"My mother-in-law may be old, so naturally she has figured out a lot! In short, today I think it is a super happy day, and it is so rare to hear my mother-in-law's recognition and praise for me! Dad, so I said that one day, my mother-in-law will understand my mind! Look, is it proof of my words!" Zhao Fatyi didn't care, but couldn't care about these little things with the old man. Whether Li's mother approves of it or not, she is Li Hao's wife in the palm of her hand, so she should be filial to Li Hao's parents, this is not a question of whether she is happy or not, but the responsibility and obligation that Li Hao's wife should fulfill.
Zhao Guoqiang smiled, "Do you want me to say, you are married very well, we really chose a good son-in-law?" Seeing his daughter's happy appearance, as a father, he was happy from the bottom of his heart. "Fat Yi, be filial to your parents-in-law, they are indeed real old people, they are all older than me, so you should care more about them. In the future, buy four copies of everything, one for each old man, so that there will be no more opinions or dissatisfaction, you know?" Zhao Guoqiang himself is getting old, but he still reminds his daughter to be filial to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and still reminds her daughter that she must be a qualified daughter-in-law.
"Dad, when have I ever been biased? Whether it's for you and my mother, or for my parents-in-law, I have the same mentality. I will never treat you separately! Don't you know your daughter?" Zhao Fatyi often went home to visit her parents, and always had to help her parents with housework and cleaning. Every time before coming back, she would call the old man to ask what he needed, and she would buy it and bring it back.
Zhao Guoqiang thought about it for a long time and decided to discuss it with his daughter. "Fat Yi, although I know that you don't like and don't want to meddle in other people's housework, but your Uncle Zhong specially came to my store that day, just hoping that you could go and see Zhong Shi. Zhao Guoqiang's appearance of wanting to speak made Zhao Fatyi look at his father blankly, "Zhong Shi has been very bad recently, he has a big temper and must divorce his wife, not only that, but also close all coffee shops, and travel all over the world, your Uncle Zhong is about to get sick." He thought about it and thought that Zhong Shi might be able to listen to your persuasion, so let me talk to you. Zhao Guoqiang paused for a while, and saw that Zhao Fatyi was just looking at him, and could only continue without speaking: "I also know that this is a bit difficult for you, your life is so peaceful and happy, and I don't want to be disturbed by anything." I respect your meaning, whether you want to see Zhongshi or not, whether you are willing to help persuade him, Dad has no objection, everything is up to you, but I hope you think about it before deciding. I know my daughter is very kind, but I don't want to do something I don't want to do because of your kindness!" Zhao Guoqiang respected his daughter's every decision, including breaking up with Zhong Shi in the first place.
Zhao Fatyi looked at his father's appearance and smiled: "Li Hao is not such a stingy person, I only need to talk to him when I see my friend! Zhong Shi will always be my friend, although we broke up, but I also promised him that I am his friend." Dad, why did you tell me earlier, why did you make yourself so embarrassed?" Zhao Fatyi would say to Li Hao before seeing Zhong Shi, this is at least respect and attention, and it is also confidence in her husband!" "Dad, Zhong Shi is a good person. Although I didn't know if his temper would change at the beginning, I still trusted Li Hao more in my heart, and I firmly believed that the person who could really give me happiness was Li Hao, and it seemed that I made the right choice. Zhao Fatyi didn't want her father to affirm her choice, but she didn't know why she was willing to spend her life with Li Hao from the bottom of her heart?
After returning home, Zhao Fatyi told Li Hao truthfully, she waited for Li Hao to say anything against it, then she wouldn't go to see Zhong Shi! Li Hao looked at his wife's appearance and smiled: "Zhong Shi is your friend, if it weren't for his perfection and comparison, you wouldn't have made up your mind to return to me, so he is also my friend, you go and see him! Don't I even have this confidence in husband and wife for so many years? You just go to see Zhong Shi, it's okay!" Li Hao has always been full of confidence in himself, he firmly believes in his wife's feelings for him, and even more firmly believes that no one loves Zhao Fat Yi more than him, except for his father-in-law and mother-in-law, no one can surpass his feelings for Fat Yi!
Zhao Panyi took her husband's hand and smiled, "You are so generous, you are worthy of being my husband, and you are worthy of being a good man who has been with me for many years!" Zhao Panyi will give Li Hao some praise at any time, and Li Hao especially wants to be affirmed, this is the most suitable husband and wife, complement each other!
At night, after Zhao Fatyi fell asleep, Li Hao had some insomnia, and he was indeed a little uneasy when he looked at Zhao Fatyi. Although Fat Yi still has years of Henderson compared to many years ago, she is still the person who makes people easy and happy to get along with, her personality and her temper are better and more generous than many years ago, how can Zhao Fat Yi not be charming? However, what he promised cannot be changed, let alone denied.
Li Hao walked out of the bedroom and came to the balcony to look at the starry sky, feeling bad in his heart. "Dad, why don't you sleep yet?" the son came out to drink water with his own cup, and saw that his father was not sleeping and stood on the balcony with an uneasy expression.
"Why haven't you slept yet? Are you playing games again?" Li Hao asked his son with a smile.
The son smiled and shook his head, "I'm reading, it's not that if you want to go to graduate school, you have to start preparing from the freshman year, I'm only starting to work hard now, and I feel a little late! Dad, I'm sorry, I have to let you and my mother provide for me to go to school, but I will work hard to earn my own living expenses, you just need to help me pay for my tuition!"
"Silly son, it's a good thing that you want to go to school, and you and Xingxing have always been very sensible and well-behaved, and we all know that it's because of you as a good brother. Your mother and I are very grateful to you, you are our backbone, and your mother and I will always be proud. So, you just have to work hard to get in. As for part-time work, it's also a good thing to have a little social experience in addition to your studies, come on!" Li Hao admires his son's maturity as himself, and he has been more mature than children of the same age since he was a child.
Li Kangping looked at his father and asked, "Dad, why do you like your mother so much? Was your grandmother very opposed to you being together at that time? Although your mother is really good, is your mother too perfect and everything is good, won't such a mother make you feel tired?" At this age, almost all of you will be curious about your parents' love and marriage, because you are about to face choices and decisions related to your feelings.
Li Hao smiled and looked at his son, "It's okay, tomorrow is the weekend, you don't have to get up early, let's be indifferent to your father tonight! Your mother is good at everything, that's because when facing you, you are her children, of course she must be good at everything! However, when I first met her, she never talked much, almost didn't talk to anyone, and was alone every day, but she didn't worry or feel uneasy. At first, I was curious about why she could be so confident, so I slowly approached her, wanted to talk to her, and wanted to see her smile that only happens once a year. It is precisely because of her personality that she rejects people for thousands of miles that I have a chance, otherwise she will find a better person with all the conditions of your mother. ”
"Dad, you're very good, aren't you like handsome or successful boys nowadays? Although I do have some girls who have a crush on me, I don't think it's the person I want. I don't want to waste time and energy on girls who just have a good feeling, I want to be like you and my mother, identify that person once, and then never let go of her hand, I hope for such a love!" Li Hao looked at his son's serious appearance, and suddenly understood why he hadn't fallen in love until now. He is very demanding, he hopes that he will decide his life like they once they fall in love?
"Boy, aren't you asking too much? It's not easy to find a woman like your mother who is almost perfect, not to mention how old are the girls around you? How can you ask them to be like your mother?" Li Hao always knew that he had found a priceless treasure, but he didn't expect that his son would also follow his mother's example to find a girlfriend. "Actually, everyone will grow, I think as long as you are kind and really like you, these are enough! Beauty will completely disappear with the passage of time!" Li Hao's feelings, Fat Yi have been carved a little bit by time.
Li Kangping laughed, "Dad, when did I tell you that the person I want to find is the same as my mother? I just said that I want to be like you, and I decided to get married and stay with you for life, this is the love I want." I don't have that much time to meet and get acquainted with so many girls, so it's okay to know and familiarize with one and cherish it for the rest of my life, so that I have more time to improve myself, enrich myself, and build myself!"
Li Hao was shocked by his son's idea this time, it was really not easy for him to have such thoughtful and mature ideas at such a young age! Li Hao gave his son a thumbs up, "Although you are my son, it still surprises me that you are mature and steady. Son, you are my pride, always. It seems that you don't have to worry too much about your future life in the future, because I firmly believe that you have enough ability to handle everything yourself!" Li Hao sincerely admired his wife's education for the children. My daughter is too, although she is about to take the college entrance examination, she is not overly nervous, let alone forced herself to the point of unbearable, she still lives and studies happily, but she works harder than when she was a child, she is trying her best to do what she should pay, and does not consider the results of the college entrance examination.
"Dad, you should praise my sister more in the future, she is now facing the college entrance examination, she needs confidence and courage very much, I believe that the encouragement and appropriate care of all of us will be the best and the star needs the most. Dad, don't worry about my love life, I will take care of it myself, and we will all have to remind Xingxing in the future that she is a girl, so she should be more cautious about emotional matters! However, with my brother, you can rest assured, I will love and protect my sister well all my life, and will not let anyone hurt or bully her. "Li Kangping's sensibility started after he knew that he had a sister.
