Chapter 355: Elder Xu's True Intentions (2)
"I searched all over the capital, and I couldn't find a second little girl who was smarter and more beautiful and cute than our Xiaojuan."
When he said this, Xu Lao glared at Xu Lijuan: "As the little princess of the Xu family, she enjoys so many advantages, why do you need to talk like everyone else, keep a few hands in doing things, and use the word 'modesty' as an excuse." How do these people know that if they tell the truth, others won't believe it? It's just that they don't have self-confidence, so they listen to what others say, and watch others take their own credit, step on their shoulders and go all the way, and then they regret it in private and are annoyed, but they never think about exposing this qiē from beginning to end. This kind of person is born to be deceived and deceived, and he does not deserve anyone's sympathy! ”
In the end, Xu Lao didn't forget to drag Fu Lao into the water: "If you don't believe it, you ask your Grandpa Fu to see what he says." ”
"Hmm." Fu Lao put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "Old man Xu, Xiaojuan is not one of those stupid people, how could she not understand this." ”
"Xiaojuan, you say, that's the reason, right?"
The last sentence, Fu Lao said to Xu Lijuan, if it were someone else, they might simply think that Xu Lao was just playing on the topic and had no other meaning, but for Xu Lijuan, who often grinded Xu Lao to tell stories, these words were related to a story that Xu Lao once told.
Back then, Xu Lao also said these words to his friend, but unfortunately the other party didn't listen. Therefore, later, Xu Lao was able to rise all the way, but his friend died early in the entanglement of chagrin and regret, leaving a poor pair of orphans and widows to depend on each other. Even if he has the care of old friends such as Xu Lao, but because that person uses such ideas to educate his younger generations, life is called a difficult one.
Such a person paraphrases the Internet phrase that was popular ten years later, even a typical "Holy Father"!
Xu Lijuan thought about it, and immediately understood that when the New Year was coming, Xu Lao would inevitably think of it again, so he said these words intentionally or unintentionally, just wanted to use these words to secretly tell Xu Lijuan such a thing - this kind of Adou who can't be supported doesn't need to prepare more expensive gifts, lest the other party's family sell them cheaply with kindness, and use the money in exchange to do the so-called "good deeds".
"Grandpa, I'll do something, don't worry." Xu Lijuan rolled her eyes, and smiled as she calculated that the items in her hand that looked very valuable at first glance, but in fact could not be sold at a high price, finally came into use.
The light in Xu Lao's eyes flashed, and he looked at Xu Lijuan with satisfaction: "Okay, our Xiaojuan is smart, grandpa is waiting for your good news." ”
When the words fell, Xu Lao also gave Fu Lao a smug little look, but he didn't directly say that Fu Lao and Fu Jianbai didn't know how many pillars of high incense they burned in their previous lives, and how many well-known temples they worshipped, so that they could find Xu Lijuan, a unique little girl in the sky and on the earth, to be their granddaughter-in-law (daughter-in-law) in this life!
Fu Lao smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a line, and the villain in his heart danced a cheerful dance, but his face did not show the slightest hint, so as not to accidentally provoke Xu Lao again, it would really be worth the loss.
When Xu Lao found out that Fu Jianbai was already cleaning up the kitchen, he waved his hand at Xu Lijuan and said, "Xiaojuan, you go back to the room to sort out the information first." ”
Xu Lijuan nodded, and obediently promised: "Okay, grandpa, I'll take it down and show it to you after it's sorted out later." ”
"Hmm." Xu Lao waited for this sentence, and nodded with a smile.
After Xu Lijuan's figure disappeared from sight, Xu Laocai and Fu Lao glanced at each other, with a meaningful smile on their faces.
Ding Dong, who was lying on the sofa and pretending to be asleep, saw this qiē in his eyes, and a sly smile appeared on his plush face, and his eyes were full of schadenfreude when he looked at Fu Jianbai, who was still busy in the kitchen.
So, when Fu Jianbai walked into the living room with the specially prepared sugar water and snacks, he was depressed to find that Xu Lijuan, who had been waiting in the living room in the past, didn't see anyone, and Xu Lao and Fu Lao still looked at him with a deep expression!
Fu Jianbai frowned slightly, and was about to ask out loud, but he saw Xu Lao, who had already prepared, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Yo, Xiaobai, Xiaojuan didn't tell you, don't I like to drink sugar water?" ”
After a pause, Xu Lao didn't forget to add jì: "Or is this bowl of sugar water specially prepared by you for Old Man Fu?" ”
"I said, Xiaobai, it's not right for you to do this. After all, this is the Xu family, not your Fu family, and you can't act on your ideas. In addition, the economy is developing, the times are advancing, and the purchasing power of money is slowly decreasing, and a family as big as ours must always remember to open up sources and reduce expenditures......"
"Old man Xu, I have a good way to let you solve this matter once and for all." Fu Lao picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, not at all annoyed and angry by Xu Lao's words, but secretly thought in his heart: Old man Xu, old man Xu, you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, just see which of us will win!
With Xu Lao's understanding of Fu Lao, how could he not know what Fu Lao meant, so he glared at Fu Lao fiercely and shouted loudly: "I don't want to hear it!" ”
"If you don't listen, I'll say it too." Fu Lao said with a smile: "As long as you agree to let Xiaojuan and Xiaobai get engaged, then Xiaobai can shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting the family." ”
On the one hand, he is a good brother who has been friends with him for many years, and on the other hand, he has grown up with a handful of and urine, and he is a grandson who is responsible for maintaining the future of the entire family.
Elder Xu, who had been prepared for a long time, was not provoked, but pretended to think about it for a while before nodding with a smile: "...... There is some truth in this. ”
Fu Jianbai was happy in his heart, and a touch of excitement and excitement appeared on his face with facial paralysis, which rarely showed superfluous feelings.
Only Fu Lao, who knew Xu Lao's nature, glanced at Fu Jianbai, who was exposed, and drank tea and snacks calmly, but secretly thought in his heart: Xu Lao has worked hard for so long to win once under his deliberate release of water, and it is normal to be so proud. Anyway, no matter what, Xu Lao can't go back, it's just an unwilling behavior, if Fu Jianbai can't pass this test smoothly, then it will be in vain for the Fu family.
Sure enough, at this moment, I saw Xu Lao suddenly add with a smile: "It's just that Xiaobai is not surnamed Xu after all, if it is known by outsiders, those who understand it will laugh it off and not think much about it, but those who don't understand will chew their tongues outside." ”
"......" So, what Xu Lao meant was that he wanted him to be his son-in-law?
Fu Jianbai's mind turned a few times and looked at Fu Lao, but he found that Fu Lao didn't seem to hear the meaning of Xu Lao's words, and his face was still calm.
However, just as Fu Lao knew Fu Jianbai, Fu Jianbai also knew Fu Lao very well, and at this moment, Fu Jianbai immediately understood that Fu Lao was using silent actions to show that he didn't care. Or it should be said that with the relationship between Xu Lao and Fu Lao, even if he agreed, Xu Lao would not dare to accept it.
When this thought turned in his mind, Fu Jianbai also cautiously promised: "Grandpa Xu, I am very willing to call you grandpa directly." ”
Xu Lao: "......" This is what he said just now, but he just said it casually, and he didn't dare to promise at all?
The smug smile on Old Xu's face disappeared, replaced by a faint annoyance: "I have five grandchildren, and there is no shortage of people calling me grandpa." ”
If you give up like this, it will not be Fu Jianbai who was identified by Xu Lao and others as a shameless person hidden under that righteous face.
So, I only heard Fu Jianbai say again: "But, grandpa, they are not me, and I will never become them." ”
After saying this sentence, which was similar to a tongue twister, without waiting for Xu Lao to react, Fu Jianbai said bluntly: "Grandpa, I made an appointment with Xiaojuan to go to the suburbs of Beijing today, the time is not early, we have to set off immediately, so as not to come back too late and make everyone worry." ”
I'm waiting for your words!
Xu Lao's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he didn't hear the meaning of Fu Jianbai's words, and said with a smile: "Alas, Xiaojuan's uncle and second uncle will return to Beijing for the New Year this year, so Xiaojuan is reorganizing the gifts that need to be given, and I can't take you to the suburbs for the time being, so let's talk about it when I have a chance later!" ”
Fu Jianbai didn't seem to hear the rejection in Xu Lao's words, and said seriously: "It's okay, I can help." ”
Xu Lao waved his hand and said, "This is a test for Xiaojuan, and we can't help, including ourselves." ”
Fu Jianbai pursed his lips and insisted: "Grandpa, I don't understand these either, let me help, it's just to add to the chaos." However, I, a rough man, also have the strength to help Xiaojuan carry those heavy objects. ”
"No need, our little five have been idle for a long time, it's time to exercise, lest the whole person become fatter and fatter...... "It's getting more and more stupid."
Speaking of this, Xu Lao also glanced at Fu Jianbai meaningfully, and added: "In addition, your own grandfather is sitting here, don't call the wrong person indiscriminately." ”
"It is said that the son-in-law is half a son, I am your grandson-in-law, and I am also your half grandson, so I should call you grandpa." In short, no matter what, Fu Jianbai, who sensed Xu Lao's meaning and had no way to stop it, did not plan to suffer a loss, and tried his best to settle his name.
Xu Lao glared at Fu Jianbai with displeasure on his face, and the resolute and resolute and sharp murderous aura trained by many years of military career attacked Fu Jianbai who was standing at him.
If Xu Lao is a gust of wind, then Fu Jianbai is a pine and cypress who is not afraid of the cold wind; If Xu Lao is an angry sea, then Fu Jianbai is an experienced and comfortable handmaker; If Xu Lao is a raging fire, then Fu Jianbai is a Dapeng who stretches his wide wings and easily flies over the Infinite Flame Mountain.
