Chapter 244: Choice
The guests present listened to Geng Lao's words, and were stunned for a moment, and then they all slapped enthusiastically. The people who can sit here are all psychic people, and they quickly figured out the joints: Geng Lao can propose marriage on this occasion, which obviously represents the old man Wang; And this kind of thing must be put forward justifiably after the two sides have already contacted and reached a consensus.
In other words, Geng Lao's words are actually a public statement, which is already a sure thing, but it is just publicized through Geng Lao's mouth. As the so-called sedan chair carries people, the Wang and Li families will join forces and will definitely do more, so of course people are happy to send water and favor.
In the rhythmic applause, Wang Yifei was also excited, he beckoned, Li Chenglong immediately handed over a handful of roses, and Wang Yifei walked in front of Li Xiaoman affectionately. Speaking of which, when they were playing together, they were really bullied by Li Xiaoman's little wild girl, but as she grew older, Li Xiaoman became more and more standard, thinking that it would be his turn to bully her in the future, Wang Yifei had an inexplicable impulse in his heart.
"Xiaoman, our childhood sweethearts, please accept my love for you!" Wang Yifei is still an acting school, but he actually knelt on one knee, which immediately caused a girl to scream at the scene.
Li Xiaoman just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by another confident voice: "Wait, I have something to say!" ”
When everyone looked at it again, it turned out to be Jiang Laohu, so they all knew it, and they all sat upright, ready to watch the play. With this level of competition, they can only watch the show.
I saw that the old squad leader also walked over with tiger steps, stood beside Brother Badou, and stretched out his big hand to pat the fat man's shoulder. "I represent Badou." I also solemnly propose to Miss Xiaoman! ”
Inside the banquet hall. Only his voice rumbled, and the hearts of the guests were furious: Is this the rhythm of the battle?
"Tiger, why don't you join in the fun!" Geng Lao has a mission, and of course no one else can destroy it.
"Old Geng, you are still so upright!" The old squad leader didn't let it go at all.
And Li Huanghe and Yang Hongyu's faces turned green: Didn't our old man already reach an agreement with Jiang Laohu, why did he intervene again?
The old man of the Li family, who has been sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, was also so angry that his brain jumped up: This Jiang Laohu doesn't play cards according to the routine at all-
However, in the public, private agreements are not on the table. So Li Lao's mind was quickly calculating countermeasures.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was a little weird, Li Xiaonan and William, who were originally the protagonists, were dominated by the old lady, but after they turned around and explained a few words to William's parents, the family automatically retreated into the background, found an empty table to sit down, and watched the changes.
Geng Lao has been upright all his life, this is a recognized fact, so after he glared at the old squad leader, he said angrily: "The marriage of children." It's up to the parents to call the shots. Yellow River, Ruby. Take a stand! ”
The old squad leader also didn't give an inch: "Lao Geng, your old brain also has to be changed, and now they all advocate marital autonomy, and you still say that you can arrange that set, which has long been outdated!" ”
"What's wrong with an arranged marriage, my wife was arranged back then!" Geng Laoyi said that this is called happiness, everyone knows that he and his wife have not blushed for decades, and they are definitely a model couple.
It's not a way to quarrel like this, no matter how Wang Yifei looks at this dead fat man, he is a lot worse than himself, so he said: "The second elder should not quarrel with us juniors, and the juniors' affairs will be solved by the juniors." After speaking, he turned to the fat man: "This Mr. Gao, with all due respect, do you think you are qualified to marry Xiao Man, or do you have other intentions and want to climb the big tree of the Li family and climb to the sky in one step?" ”
This is heart-wrenching, and many people present also nodded slightly, they also agreed with Wang Yifei's statement, in their opinion, this chubby young man, most of them are toads who want to eat swan meat, whether it is image or family affairs, and Wang Yifei is not comparable at all.
However, the fat man was not annoyed at all, he still looked at Wang Yifei with a smile: "Wang Dashao, I don't know what qualifications you are talking about?" ”
"Do you still have to make it clear, you are a civilian, do you really think you can be worthy of Xiao Man?" Li Dashao looked arrogant, yes, in front of a flat-headed people, he has the qualifications to be proud.
But he didn't understand that the small people also had the dignity of the small people. The smile disappeared from Brother Badou's face, and the big fat face became extremely solemn: "Wang Dashao, I want to know, what kind of background did your old man come from?" ”
"Bold!" Geng Lao finally couldn't help but be furious, you must know that the old man of the Wang family was just a stray baby begging for food, and he joined the army, and he came to this day step by step.
"Lao Geng, we have lived a good life for decades, and we must not forget our roots. Think back then, weren't you and I all mud legs? The old squad leader looked at his old friend meaningfully, his tone was calm, but it was shocking, which made Geng Lao stunned for a moment, and then frowned and thought deeply.
The entire banquet hall suddenly fell silent.
At this extremely delicate moment, I saw two people walking into the banquet hall quickly, and then whispering a few words to Li Huanghe and his wife, these two immediately showed joy and walked quickly to the door of the banquet hall.
I saw a middle-aged woman with a plump posture and a graceful temperament appear at the door, and when she saw someone coming, everyone was stunned, and then stood up involuntarily. They never imagined that this first lady would appear at the Li family's daughter's engagement banquet.
And a smile appeared in the eyes of the old squad leader, and the old man Lei, who was familiar with him, of course, knew best that the old squad leader would show such a smile after every victory.
"Let's all sit down." The first lady beckoned kindly, and then greeted the seniors one by one, in a respectful and cordial manner.
"Girl, you came just in time, there is a public case waiting for you to judge!" The old squad leader was not polite at all, and opened his mouth to call a girl. The surrounding guests were shocked, and the information revealed by this title was somewhat interesting.
"With so many old-timers in the room, what else can't be solved?" The first lady still had a smile on her face, and first praised these veterans-level figures present, and then listened to the old squad leader's story.
After listening, she looked around with a peaceful gaze, especially for a few more moments on the young people: "This is just my personal opinion, since it is the marriage of the children, it is better for the children to make their own decisions-"
On the surface, this sound is impartial, but no one here is stupid, although they keep saying that they only represent personal opinions, but at this level, every sentence has a great impact, and where can it only represent individuals?
"Okay, good, that's fair!" The old squad leader laughed twice, and then turned to Li Xiaoman: "Li girl, now you choose your own son-in-law!" ”
When he said this, Li Xiaoman's face flushed slightly, but she still walked forward bravely, although her steps were not big, but they were extremely firm.
Come on, Xiao Man, come to me bravely-Brother Badou shouted in his heart, but he saw that Li Xiaoman's footsteps were obviously a little off his imagination, and he suddenly stood there stunned as if he had been immobilized by the ancestor of Monkey Xiaoshuai.
Li Xiaoman did not walk over to the fat man, but he also did not walk towards Wang Yifei, but walked straight to the first lady, gave a deep salute, and when she raised her head, she was already in tears. All the hardships, all the grievances, poured out at this moment.
"When people live in the world, they have to bear all kinds of responsibilities, Xiaoman, I hope you can face everything bravely." caressing Li Xiaoman's hair, like a loving mother comforting her daughter.
If it weren't for Li Xiaoman's extremely special identity now, if it weren't for the man standing behind the first lady who made up his mind to govern the army, she would not have appeared on such an occasion, let alone accept the entrustment of the old squad leader, and become Li Xiaoman's strongest backing.
"I will!" Li Xiaoman is also well aware of the various stakes hidden behind the scenes, and she steps forward again, and her steps are more firm and powerful.
One step, two steps, three steps - under everyone's gaze, Li Xiaoman finally walked in front of the fat man, she could no longer suppress the tears of excitement and joy, and threw herself directly into the fat man's arms.
Yay-Li Xiaonan, who had been waiting for a long time on the side, finally broke out, and the girl jumped up from her seat and waved her little fist excitedly. Then he realized something, stuck out his tongue, and looked at William's parents.
The old nobleman and his wife looked at each other and smiled, the reason why they accepted Li Xiaonan, a crazy girl, was because of her frankness. In the increasingly prosperous modern age, even the daughters of ordinary families can become the prince's companions, what else do they have to worry about?
Under the watchful eye, Brother Badou has been completely stupid. Today, he is ready to completely break with the Li family, and he has made up his mind to break all the shackles with Li Xiaoman, but he never imagined that happiness would come so suddenly. Is all this true, you won't still dream on the bed in the courtyard, right?
He stretched out his big fat hand, then pinched his fat face and twisted it hard. There was a good-natured snicker, but the fat man turned a deaf ear, he clearly felt the tingling pain on his face, and then he hugged his most beloved tightly and began to circle in place.
Although the little fat man behaved a little silly, the guests still expressed their blessings with their applause. The result was a bit unexpected, but you also need to know who is behind it!
"Brother-in-law, hurry up and give my sister an engagement token!" Li Xiaonan rushed out, for fear that if he was a second at night, this matter would change.
The fat man finally stopped spinning: he really didn't prepare a love token!
"Brother-in-law, you're really-" Li Xiaonan patted the fat man on the shoulder, why was he so uncompetitive.
As a result, the fat man shook a few times in a daze, and then fell to the ground with Li Xiaoman in his arms - both of them were dizzy just now, or rather, they were stunned by the sudden happiness - (to be continued......)
