After dinner, Akemi and her second aunt were washing dishes in the kitchen and chatting, while Li Guo took her second uncle to the terrace, closed the door, and whispered.

Li Guo said: "Second uncle, I have something I want to discuss with you. ”

The second uncle sat on the rattan chair and asked, "I can see that you have something to say, and you are absent-minded when you eat, what's wrong?" What difficulties did you encounter? ”

Li Guo sat opposite the second uncle, rubbed his hands back and forth nervously, and said: "Before coming, Akemi's father specially went to Beijing to find me in person, we met in private, Akemi didn't know. ”

The second uncle asked, "What?" Ming's father is against your marriage? ”

Li Guo said: "Opposition is not objection, he said that although I don't have any money, I am sincere to Akemi." So he didn't object to us getting married, but he had one condition. ”

The second uncle breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's good if you don't object, it's normal for people to have conditions, and now there are many people who are asking for marriage, and there are basic requirements for having a car and a house, and you have accepted it for people who have no garage, isn't it very good!" What conditions did Ming's father propose? ”

Li Guo swallowed his saliva and said, "Let me enter the Ming family!" ”

The second uncle said: "It's also reasonable, your parents died early, their family background is average, they have a bit of a career, they are still just starting, I heard your uncle say that this bookstore was opened by Mingmei with your capital." If you are rich, you will be rich, the Ming family is just such a daughter, your relationship is not bad, I guess you will not suffer any grievances. ”

Li Guo lowered his head, hunched his back, and said, "Before you enter the list, let me change my name." Changed to Ming Kingdom. ”

"What?" The second uncle blew up, and Akemi and the second aunt in the kitchen heard the movement and looked back together. Li Guo hurriedly pulled the second uncle. Motioned for him to be quiet.

The second uncle asked in a low voice, "You agreed?" ”

Li Guo replied: "I said I should think about it. ”

The second uncle was angry, his face was ugly, and he said, "Isn't this bullying? I'm not married yet! I haven't joined their Ming family yet! This is starting to stop treating you as a human being! Strongly disagree! ”

Li Guo glanced at the kitchen, Akemi didn't seem to notice anything, and was still helping the second aunt wash the dishes.

"If I don't agree, Akemi will marry me, but Akemi's father said he wouldn't come to the wedding. Every girl wants to have a perfect wedding. With my father in the hands of my husband, I would feel guilty if I couldn't give her a perfect wedding. I could have given less. Now she's going to be wronged for me. ”

The second uncle said: "It's wrong for him to be an old man, his daughter's wedding, he didn't attend, that's why he made his daughter's wedding imperfect." You're not wrong! Li Guo. The second uncle is also a person with a daughter. It's uncomfortable to marry a daughter, but he can't let you change your name. These are all the old rules of the old society and the Qing Dynasty, how can there be such rules now? Isn't this bullying our Li family no one? ”

Li Guo said: "It's very unreasonable, and I hesitated, so I didn't agree immediately, but I still want to discuss it with you." ”

The second uncle said: "But then again, the Ming family doesn't dislike us. It's good to be willing to marry your daughter to you. Just this requirement. It's a man's face that hurts. Where do you go in the future, as soon as he introduced, this is my son-in-law Ming Guo, who is rich, the family has no money, and our Ming family's son-in-law. How ugly this is, when you arrive at Ming's house, if he calls you around, gets angry and scolds, and drives you out, how can you stand it. ”

Li Guo stopped talking, what the second uncle said was right, but for the sake of Mingmei, she didn't care about face, and it wouldn't be good if she let Ming bully her. It's just that now the second uncle is sad and sad because of his own affairs, and he really feels that he is a little unfilial.

The second uncle said suddenly: "Your second aunt and I plan to take you tomorrow to worship your parents and talk to them about the happy event that you are going to get married." When your dad was alive, he would look at my face the most. He could see at a glance what was on my mind. You said I was going to stop you and wouldn't let you change your name, would your father complain about me? After all, it is not easy for you to find such a good daughter-in-law, and when the Ming family is unhappy and messes up the two of you, then how can I have the face to meet your father. ”

Li Guo held the second uncle's hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it, I know how to do this, don't worry, I will find the best of both worlds." ”

The second uncle said: "Forget it, people can't earn with their fate, just change it, you poor doll." Being an orphan for so many years is hard enough, the east family strings the west string, and the days under the fence can't end. Now that I'm married, I have to continue to be angry. Okay, as long as you and Akemi can be together, the husband can bend and stretch, and if you are wronged, you will be wronged. ”

Li Guo asked, "Second uncle, do you agree?" ”

The second uncle said: "Yes, you can do what you want, if you are not happy, go back to the second uncle." Don't force it too hard! ”

Li Guo nodded, his heart was warm, his parents always couldn't resist their children, although he felt sorry for Li Guo, but the second uncle still reluctantly agreed. The stakes have been clearly explained to him, and the rest of the way is still for Li Guo to go, and the second uncle doesn't want to interfere with him.

Akemi pushed open the door of the terrace and said, "Second uncle, come out and eat fruit." ”

The second uncle said, "Okay, eat fruit!" The second uncle stood up and walked back into the house.

Mingmei grabbed Li Guo and asked, "What did you say to the second uncle?" I heard the second uncle shouting just now, what are you shouting? What's wrong? ”

Li Guo touched his head and said, "It's nothing!" The second uncle said that he liked you very much, and said that he was going to worship my parents tomorrow, by the way, he mentioned that my parents were a little sad. ”

Akemi looked at Li Guo, and then asked, "Did you lie to me?" When you lie, you get so nervous that you look at you and you don't know where to put your hands. ”

Li Guo hugged Akemi, Akemi quickly pushed Li Guo away and said, "What are you doing?" After a while, the second uncle and aunt saw it. ”

Li Guo said: "It's okay, I can't see it, thank you, wife, help my second aunt wash the dishes and cut the fruit." How virtuous! My husband has a lot of face. ”

Akemi said, "I should be nice to you!" You can't lie to me, you have to tell me everything. ”

Li Guo said: "Got it, let's go, the second uncle and aunt will be anxious for a while." What fruit did you cut? ”

Mingmei pulled Li Guo and said as she walked out: "There is your favorite watermelon, it has been cut into watermelon balls, and it is also on the plate, it is very beautiful, you will have to eat more in a while." ”

Li Guo saluted Akemi and said, "Obey!" Promise to complete my wife's orders! (To be continued.) )
