Chapter 497: Marriage Approaching?
"Weidong is here? It's not an outsider, why do you still bring things? ”
As soon as Li Weidong entered a certain house with a gift, he heard a burst of complaints.
"Aunt Su, I didn't buy anything, just a box of dim sum and two gadgets I carved myself."
Today is the weekend, Li Weidong made an appointment with Zhou Xiaobai when he was on the farm before, and he came to the door today, and the Zhou family also knew the news of the future son-in-law's visit early, so they started to get busy early in the morning.
Li Weidong came back from the farm and went directly to Juqingzhai to buy two packs of dim sum.
This dim sum shop has been moving to the capital since the Ming Dynasty, and it is definitely a time-honored brand, and of course, the price is not cheap.
Different from the kind of dim sum that is casually packaged in paper, the dim sum of this Juqingzhai is all packed in boxes, which is beautiful and atmospheric.
Even now, this box of dim sum has a total of three catties, and each catty costs six taels of fine food stamps, which is not the end, and the price of dim sum is eight yuan a catty.
In other words, this box of dim sum alone costs more than 20 yuan, which can catch up with most of the salary of ordinary workers for half a month.
So ordinary people can't afford to eat at all.
However, for the Zhou family, it is nothing, although it is impossible to eat it every day, but usually during festivals and the like, they will buy a box.
If Li Weidong hadn't officially come to the door for the first time, he wouldn't have bought this kind of dim sum.
"The jade you carved?"
Su Peiyun took the snack box and gave it to the nanny at home, but she was full of interest in the jade carved by Li Weidong himself.
She had seen the statue of her daughter, although it was not as good as the master's work, but it was a rare masterpiece.
It's hard for Li Weidong to still have this craft.
She undoubtedly values this heart more than value.
Especially now that Li Weidong has met for the first time, it is not the same day.
At the beginning, Li Weidong was just an accounting apprentice who had just gone to work on the farm, but now, he is already the deputy captain, and she has also listened to her husband analyze Li Weidong's future: limitless.
In the past, her idea was that her daughter would just find an ordinary person to marry, be safe and simple, and she only had such a daughter, and the family property in the future would also be left to her daughter, so she valued the character of her future son-in-law more.
As long as you have a good character and love your daughter, even if it's just an ordinary worker.
It wasn't until later that the changes in her own family made her understand it thoroughly.
If it weren't for Li Weidong, her family would be almost ruined now, not to mention that her family would be ruined.
Her husband was imprisoned, and she and Zhou Xiaobai were left, and they would only be eaten.
Therefore, she also has a gratitude to Li Weidong.
"Yes, don't mind if the carving is bad."
Li Weidong immediately took out a Buddha statue and a Guanyin statue carved not long ago.
After Su Peiyun saw it, her eyes brightened a little, she was not the kind of person who didn't know the goods, so she could easily tell what level the carving level of the two pieces of jade in her hand had reached.
"You carved it?"
Su Peiyun was a little surprised, but she didn't suspect that Li Weidong was cheating.
"Yes."
Li Weidong nodded.
With his current carving skills, not to mention compared with the master, he can definitely be called a master.
"Weidong is here?"
Zhou Bing'an heard the voice and came down from upstairs.
Under normal circumstances, he doesn't have any weekends, and even the more weekends he does, the more things happen, and the reason why he is at home today is also because Li Weidong, the future son-in-law, came to the door.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaobai pulled his mother aside.
"Uncle Zhou."
Li Weidong greeted politely.
"Come, sit here, I've been looking for a chance to thank you for the last time, but Xiaobai said that you've been too busy lately."
Zhou Bingan enthusiastically pulled Li Weidong to the living room and sat down.
"Uncle Zhou, you're polite, mainly because I just changed jobs some time ago, and then I went to the northwest on a business trip, so I didn't come over earlier."
In front of him, he is his future father-in-law, Li Weidong is naturally not stupid enough to take a big deal, besides, except for the time when he went to the northwest, he can actually find time every weekend.
On the contrary, because Zhou Xiaobai had just become an assistant instructor, he was busy with his feet and did not touch the ground, but he couldn't spare time.
But Li Weidong definitely can't take it out and talk about it.
I can't say that I've wanted to come a long time ago, but your daughter is not available, right?
"Well, Xiaobai mentioned your matter twice, but because of discipline, I didn't talk about it much."
Zhou Bing paused, looking at Li Weidong, his eyes were a little complicated.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the public security has set up a training base, and I'm just helping to train it."
Although he was in front of his future father-in-law, Li Weidong didn't talk much.
The special police training base has a level of secrecy, which also means that it cannot be disclosed at will.
Zhou Bing'an naturally understood this, so he just mentioned it and changed the topic.
"I heard about Zhang Qinhua, but I didn't expect it to end up like this, and I blame that I didn't know anyone at the beginning, and I almost affected you."
Although the case was not publicized at the beginning, it was kept secret to a certain extent.
But Zhou Bingguo, that is, Zhou Xiaobai's uncle, is also an old man on the diplomatic side, even if he has officially retired now, but because he is ultimately involved in diplomacy and even related to Li Weidong, he still knows the ins and outs of the whole thing.
And the reason why Zhou Bingan knew that Zhang Qinhua was dead was also told to him by Zhou Bingguo.
After all, the two are also entangled in grievances.
Zhou Bingan was almost imprisoned because of the other party's 'framed'.
After knowing that Zhang Qinhua conspired with others to kill Li Weidong, Zhou Bingan was also scared into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Li Weidong was fine in the end.
"It has nothing to do with you, even if there is no Zhang Qinhua, there will be Wang Qinhua and Li Qinhua, and it is no wonder that the other party ended up like this."
Li Weidong has long left Zhang Qinhua behind, and in that matter, the other party is just a pawn, a pawn in the hands of others.
"One wrong step, no return, if you want to make a difference on this road, you must pay more attention, if there are any difficulties in life, you can tell Xiaobai, I only have such a girl with your Aunt Su."
Zhou Bing'an's words were a bit fruitful, so he almost told Li Weidong that the family business accumulated by the Zhou family will eventually be given to Zhou Xiaobai, as long as you treat my daughter well, sooner or later it will be yours, so don't make mistakes for the sake of two jujubes.
"Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I won't make a mistake on this kind of issue."
Li Weidong said 'frankly'.
Money?
He doesn't lack it at all, and it doesn't mean much to just have money now, even if he spends hard, he can't spend much, and there is no place to spend it.
In contrast, food is the most important thing.
But because Li Weidong has a game farm, the last thing he lacks is food.
As for the Zhou family's family business, he never thought about it.
If you really want to make money, after the 80s, there is an opportunity, even if you don't do business, just invest according to the memory in your mind, you can be rich and prosperous for a lifetime.
What's more, when that time comes, if he is still greedy for money, it can only mean that he is useless.
Zhou Bing'an also stopped at a shallow taste, he knew very well how smart his future son-in-law was, and he would definitely understand what he meant.
Subsequently, the two began to talk about some business things, basically Zhou Bing'an was talking, Li Weidong mentioned two sentences from time to time, Zhou Bing'an, who had no hope, slowly found that although Li Weidong didn't talk much, every sentence was to the point, which was quite a taste of hitting the nail on the head.
The occasional comments made him suddenly brightened, so the more he talked, the more interested he became.
"Okay, why are you talking so much today? Wei Dong pulled him to talk from the moment he sat down, you are not tired, people are still tired, hurry up and pack up and eat. ”
Seeing that it was almost noon, Su Peiyun came up to interrupt and glared at her husband dissatisfied.
Zhou Bing'an was talking energetically, when he was suddenly interrupted, and he couldn't help but want to stare at him, but he immediately realized that he was a little overdone, and immediately smiled apologetically at Li Weidong.
"Look at me, it's noon, are you hungry? Then let's eat first. ”
After eating, Zhou Bingan did not occupy Li Weidong anymore and returned it to his baby daughter.
Li Weidong was finally able to go to Zhou Xiaobai's boudoir to find out.
It's rare for the two to have time to get tired of being together, it's just a tacit understanding that one has to make inches, the other wants to refuse and welcome, but also cooperates.
In the afternoon, when Li Weidong left, Su Peiyun also prepared a gift for Li Weidong and asked him to take it home to his family, but Li Weidong refused several times, but he couldn't stand it, so he could only accept it.
waved goodbye to Zhou Xiaobai, who was reluctant to fall in love, and Li Weidong drove home in a jeep.
"Why did you buy things again?"
Zhang Xiuzhen watched Li Weidong come back at this point, still carrying a lot of things, and couldn't help but say.
It's not that she thinks Li Weidong spends money indiscriminately, and wants to take care of Li Weidong, the main reason is that the family doesn't lack anything now, and she is also thrifty, even if the family is getting more and more prosperous now, she can't bear it.
What's more, Li Weidong is not small, so he has to save money to marry a daughter-in-law.
"I went to Xiaobai's house today, and her parents gave it, so it's hard to excuse me."
Li Weidong casually handed the things to Zhang Xiuzhen.
A family like Su Peiyun is already good at ushering in and sending it, and the gifts they take out are neither too expensive nor contemptible.
When he was on the way, Li Weidong looked through it casually, and it was basically a gift for the old lady, his parents, and younger siblings, which was absolutely just right.
"Went to Xiaobai's house? You kid, you don't know how to say it in advance, I'll prepare some gifts for you, and go to Xiaobai's house as a guest, how can there be any reason to carry things back? ”
Hearing Li Weidong's words, Zhang Xiuzhen's eyes widened, and her voice couldn't help but raise a few points.
"Ahem, the main thing is to go home with Xiaobai, so I didn't have time to come back and tell you, as for the gifts to Xiaobai's house, I bought them on the road, these are what her mother had to stuff for me, I can't refuse."
Li Weidong had no choice but to make up an excuse.
"By the way, Xiaobai's parents said that when they are free one day, the two families will sit together."
He didn't lie, during the lunch meal, Su Peiyun did tell him about this stubble.
In her eyes, since her daughter has identified Li Weidong, and she and Zhou Bingan are also satisfied with Li Weidong, there is no need to drag on this marriage, and even plan to let the two get married as soon as possible.
Although Li Weidong's age is a little insufficient, Zhou Xiaobai is a few years older than him after all, and if he drags on for a few years, he will become an old girl.
Even if you don't get married right now, the two families can meet and talk, and get engaged early.
"Ah, sit together?"
Zhang Xiuzhen's attention was really diverted, and then her face was full of joy, since the woman made this request, it means that she is very satisfied with Li Weidong, and the subconscious meaning of the two families must be to settle down.
She couldn't ask for this.
She has seen Zhou Xiaobai twice, although she doesn't know a lot, she also likes each other in her heart, not to mention that she is good-looking, the key is that she is the kind of lady at first glance.
If she said before, she would still be a little apprehensive, after all, she also has a certain understanding of Zhou Xiaobai's family background, and these four words have long been engraved in people's bones.
However, since Li Weidong continued to make meritorious contributions, and even brought back the first-class merit, she no longer had such worries.
You know, this is a first-class merit, what family background is more awesome than this merit today?
Moreover, Li Weidong is still the deputy captain and is fully worthy of the other party.
"Okay, sit down, do you want to call your dad back then?"
Zhang Xiuzhen said and became hesitant.
"Call it, if he's not there, it's a bit unusual, I'll go and inform him in advance when the date is set."
Even if Li Weidong has a bad relationship with Li Shuqun, this kind of in-law meeting, if Li Shuqun, who is the old man, is not informed, it will be a bit too much.
"You don't need to go, I'll inform your dad when the time comes."
Zhang Xiuzhen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face.
In her eyes, there is nothing more important than the health of her family and the harmony of the family.
She also hopes that the relationship between Li Weidong and Li Shuqun, father and son, can improve.
"Okay."
Li Weidong nodded.
Later, after entering the house, he was dragged and nagged by the old lady for more than half an hour.
After knowing that Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaobai were going to be a good thing, the smile on the old lady's face never stopped.
Finally, the day came.
She took Li Weidong into the city, didn't she just want to find a job for Li Weidong, and then talk about family affairs and hug the big fat grandson as soon as possible?
In this way, she has fulfilled her promise to the old man, and she has no regrets in her life.
It wasn't until the old lady's excitement was appeased that Li Weidong returned to his house.
In the north house, Zhang Xiuzhen talked to the old lady about vacating the house for Li Weidong.
When Li Weidong first came, she offered to decorate the East House and move there to live, she was reluctant at first, but then she was reluctantly persuaded by Li Weidong, and the East House was well decorated, so Li Weidong was left to her.
But now, Li Weidong is about to get married.
In her understanding, as long as the two families meet, they will definitely get married next, and it will not take more than half a year, or even two or three months.
That's right, it's so fast now, and I'm not interested in falling in love for a few years at all.
And Li Weidong wants to get married, and she definitely can't live in the East House anymore, and she doesn't have the face to tell her in-laws about it.
So I can only let the old lady and a pair of children vacate the north house, and then clean it up again and use it as a wedding room for Li Weidong.
This time, she didn't plan to discuss it with Li Weidong, and even paid for it herself.
The old lady naturally didn't have the slightest opinion, and even had to pay, but was rejected by Zhang Xiuzhen, and the last time she renovated the East House for Li Weidong, she was also single-handed, so if she has experience, she can ask the master who picked up the house to come.
As for the two little guys, when they heard that they could go to Li Weidong's east house to live, they cheered directly.
Although it's a little smaller, it's beautiful inside, and there's a bathroom, so you don't have to freeze your butt in winter, so it's nice to think about it.
Therefore, several people in the family unanimously passed.
As for Li Shuqun's opinion?
is completely ignored at the moment, not to mention that he is not at home, even if he is at home, Zhang Xiuzhen will not care about his opinion in this matter.
This time, she has to call the shots.
