Chapter 389: Settle for the second
Ji Huaiyu went back again.
The shopkeeper put the money away and sat back to pick up the teapot and listen to the radio, and was startled when he saw Ji Huaiyu coming back, so he quickly stood up and pointed at him:
"You ......"
Didn't you say that you don't have to look for more money, and this still brings out the backlash?
Ji Huaiyu didn't even look at him, and picked up the phone and called his mother again.
Li Lihua has been running to the old man very diligently for her son's business recently, and she has just arrived in the house after leaving work early and walking for a while.
As a result, the aunt came over and opened the door, and as soon as Li Lihua asked, the aunt pointed upstairs:
"The old man has a new painting, and he is in the study, and he tells no one to disturb him. ”
Li Lihua frowned, then she didn't just run for nothing, the old man is far away from her unit, and it took her a lot of time to come over.
As a result, when I saw my aunt standing there still, I was a little angry:
"Then I won't quarrel with the old man, I'll stay for dinner at noon, you can hurry up and cook." ”
After speaking, he handed the bag to her aunt and asked her to hold it, went to sit down on the sofa by herself, and did not forget to glance upstairs.
The aunt smiled and nodded good-naturedly, but the staff who helped the old man on the side frowned, feeling that Li Lihua's attitude was a bit excessive.
The aunt who took care of Ji Lao has been in the Ji family for decades, and has been here since she was young, and later after getting married, she still helps take care of several children in the Ji family.
Over the years, the aunt has been old, and the children in the family were filial and had to be taken away to care for the elderly, but Ji Lao was used to eating the meals she cooked, so she stayed.
The Ji family, including Ji Lao's sons, is usually very polite and close to her aunt, except for letting her take care of Ji Lao's food, others will not instruct her at all, and Li Lihua has to put the third lady's score every time she comes over.
The staff couldn't see it, but Li Lihua was the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, and he couldn't say anything, so he was ready to go upstairs.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Li Lihua after just taking two steps:
"Wait, Staff Officer Li, are you going upstairs?"
Staff Officer Li had no choice but to stand still, turned around and said, "Yes." ”
Li Lihua's brows furrowed tightly:
"Didn't Auntie just say that the old man wouldn't let people go up and disturb?"
Could it be that Auntie lied to her?
Li Lihua, like Ji Huaiyu, felt that Old Man Ji was biased and was not as good to them as the eldest and second family, so she was more concerned about the attitude of the staff in the small building.
Thinking that an aunt would dare to stop her, Li Lihua became a little angry.
Of course, Staff Officer Li could see what she was thinking, shook his head in his heart, and said:
"Yes, but this document was ordered by the old man earlier, saying that no matter when it is delivered, it must be handed over to him immediately without delay. ”
This reason is really unreasonable, although Li Lihua is still a little angry, and even glanced at the document in Staff Officer Li's hand, but of course she knows that it is not for her to ask.
I had to retreat and go the next way:
"Then go quickly, don't delay the old man's business, and if you see if the old man is tired, just say I asked, ask the old man what he wants to eat, and I will tell my aunt to do it." ”
This is the meaning of asking Staff Officer Li to tell the old man that she has arrived.
How could Staff Officer Li not hear it, but he didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded:
"Good. ”
Then he went upstairs.
But in his heart, he knew that the old man didn't look down on this daughter-in-law, and felt that she was short-sighted, and many times she didn't know how to measure.
If it weren't for the identity of the third daughter-in-law of the Ji family, the old man wouldn't want to see her appear here.
So don't say that he didn't want to go downstairs when he got a good word, even if the old man was originally going to go downstairs for dinner, and now he knows that Li Lihua is coming, he probably doesn't want to go downstairs to listen to the words of this daughter-in-law who thinks she is smart.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Staff Officer Li to come down.
Li Lihua waited impatiently, and when she saw him, she hurriedly said:
"How is it, what does the old man say?"
Staff Officer Li smiled:
"The old man said to ask Auntie to bring the food, and said what you want to eat and tell the kitchen. ”
Li Lihua: "......"
Staff Officer Li nodded with a smile, went to the kitchen to say hello to his aunt and left.
Li Lihua was so angry that she sat down heavily on the sofa.
She knew that the old man was eccentric.
Obviously, their family of three is the most filial, Huaiyu came back so far for the New Year, and he didn't go anywhere during the Spring Festival, so he accompanied the old man at home, but the child grew up so big and begged the old man to agree to such a thing.
What does it mean, isn't that his grandson, isn't Huaiyu also giving the Ji family a long face? Could it be that only Ji Huaifeng can make the old man proud?
Now she also rushed back from afar to eat with him, but he was so good that he couldn't even go downstairs.
If this was Ji Huaifeng at home, maybe he would have brought people into the study a long time ago.
The old man is so eccentric.
Li Lihua was angry and hateful, feeling sorry for her son for a while, and secretly scolding her husband for not being angry, otherwise how could their mother and son be so statusless in front of the old man.
The old man doesn't come down, what kind of meal does she have to eat?
Li Lihua didn't even think about saying a word to the kitchen, picked up the bag and was about to leave, but she happened to receive a pager from her son.
"Huaiyu, why did you call your mother at this time?" Li Lihua was very happy to answer the phone.
"Mom, what does that Xue Ruyin mean?" Ji Huaiyu shouted as soon as he got on the phone.
"Be quiet, be quiet. Li Lihua didn't expect her son to shout when she came up, she was startled, and hurriedly covered the microphone and looked around.
Fortunately, when Staff Officer Li left, there was no one downstairs, the old man was in the upstairs study, the kitchen door was closed, and occasionally some sounds were heard, and the house was quiet.
"Mom, where are you with grandpa?" Ji Huaiyu understood as soon as he heard it, frowned and lowered his voice a little.
"Well, Mom is thinking of coming back and looking for a chance to talk to your grandfather......" Li Lihua explained to her son.
"Then did he agree?" Before Li Lihua finished speaking, Ji Huaiyu preempted him.
Li Lihua heard her son's direct question, and thought that the old man didn't even give this little face, so she made excuses for directness with some curtle:
"No, your grandfather has a new painting, and you also know his character, and he doesn't want to come down to eat anything good when he gets it. ”
"Come on, it's mom, you go back, of course, if you change me, it's the same, but if it's Ji Huaifeng, do you think grandpa still goes downstairs?" Ji Huaifeng had exactly the same idea as his mother.
"Mom, I think you should not work in vain, what's the use of going back? I have been careful to curry favor with my grandfather for so many days during the Chinese New Year, has he relented? I don't think he has me as a grandson in his eyes at all. ”
Ji Huaiyu became more and more jealous when he thought of Old Man Ji.
