Although he and Zhao Qingge had agreed to arrive at her house at four in the afternoon, Li Peifeng drove off in his Mercedes-Benz Big G after lunch to prepare gifts. Not only the Zhao family, but also the Xu family, who was going to go tomorrow, bought gifts for both families together.
Even if it's not the first time you meet your parents, you can't go empty-handed when you visit them. Before the wedding, the etiquette must be as thorough as possible. As for after the marriage... they are all a family. It's not a year or a holiday, no matter what.
It's normal to bring gifts to your parents-in-law's house for a meal or something, and you might want to take something with you when you leave.
As for the purpose of Zhao Haiqi and Li Xin's search for him this time, Li Peifeng had a close guess when talking to Lao Zhao on the phone.
Probably the second elder also saw the lecture between him and Yu Hua, and felt the impact of it. He felt that Li Peifeng was very promising, so he further recognized his relationship with his daughter, and wanted to use this meal to encourage and comfort him.
, finally plan the future development of the two people?
These were all Li Peifeng's guesses, and when he arrived at Zhao Qingge's parents' home at 3:40, he saw the friendly attitudes of Zhao Haiqi and Li Xin, which further confirmed this idea...
"Xiao Feng is here...Hey, what are you carrying in this big pile?"
"Didn't I tell you not to bring gifts last time?"
“Originally I just wanted to buy some food to show off my cooking skills to my uncle and aunt, but I ended up buying too much while shopping.”
Li Peifeng smiled honestly. After Li Xin and Zhao Haiqi criticized him and warned him again not to do this again, Lao Zhao led him to sit down on the sand room and asked casually: "Can you still cook?"
"Yes, Qingge likes to eat." Li Peifeng looked at Zhao Qingge who was slowly walking out of the study, his eyes lit up.
Today, Lao Zhao is wearing a gray-green suit. The upper body is particularly slim. The double-breasted design has a British OL style. It may be due to the thin leather belt around the waist, and the figure is more graceful than before.
.The lower body is a pair of wide-leg trousers made of woven fabric. The legs are straight and three-dimensional. The trousers just reach the ankles. The gap between the trousers and the slippers is half-covered, revealing those beautiful silk feet... If you wear high heels, it will be completely perfect.
It hit Li Peifeng right in the heart.
"Why are you here so early?"
"I came here early because I didn't have anything to do, and I'm going to make some kung fu dishes, which are very time-consuming. Uncle and aunt, I'm going to get busy."
After finishing speaking, Li Peifeng stood up and wanted to go to the kitchen, but Zhao Haiqi stopped him: "You don't need to cook, there is a nanny to do it."
"Xiao Feng, just sit there and chat with your uncle. I'll wash some fruits for you."
Li Xin also persuaded, and then carried some vegetables bought by Li Peifeng into the kitchen. But the latter even said that there was no need to wash the fruits, and wanted to show off his cooking skills, so Zhao Qingge said: "Let him do it, he cooks delicious food.
"
Li Peifeng successfully entered the kitchen. Li Xin and Zhao Haiqi still tried to dissuade him, but this did not stop him from getting busy in the kitchen with his aunt who was cooking.
Wash vegetables, cut meat, swish, swish, as fast as a chef in a five-star hotel.
Li Xin praised in surprise: "Xiao Feng, have you learned it before?"
"Self-taught, haha, maybe I have talent."
But Zhao Haiqi still had some objections. He criticized his daughter outside the kitchen: "As long as you two are not married, he will be a guest in our house. How can you let him cook?"
"You will know after you try his craftsmanship."
Zhao Qingge ignored it and instead followed the kitchen and asked, "What are you planning to cook?"
"Today's menu is incredible. It's basically from the state banquet, braised lion's head, Buddha jumping over the wall, Dongpo beef, squirrel mandarin fish..."
Dinner was served at six o'clock. Chef Li Peifeng showed a serious attitude, and the dishes were extremely delicious. He reserved a portion of the prepared meals for the nanny, brought the dishes to the table, and everyone sat down.
"Plenty enough."
"Haha, these dishes are not common! Thank you for your hard work, Xiaofeng. Sit down, have a drink, and then let Qing Ge take you back."
"Well, I'll do it myself."
"sit down."
Before the couple actually moved their chopsticks, they praised each other in unison, and Zhao Haiqi personally poured a glass of white wine for Li Peifeng. Then, the dinner began in a harmonious atmosphere.
At first, the topic was about the taste of the food. Apparently, neither Zhao Haiqi nor Li Xin expected that Mr. Li’s cooking skills were so superb. The former was even more surprised and moved, saying bluntly that he had participated in state banquets at foreign affairs events before and had tasted it many times.
I have tried similar dishes made by famous chefs, but they are not as delicious as what Li Peifeng cooked this time.
"No wonder, no wonder Duoduo insists on asking you to cook."
"You're exaggerating. Just enjoy your meal and I'll give you a toast."
Li Peifeng laughed and raised his glass with both hands to drink with Zhao Haiqi.
"Is he really self-taught in cooking?"
Li Xin was also impressed by the delicious food on the table that left endless memories and lingered on her lips. She asked her daughter a question in a low voice. Zhao Qingge just nodded: "He is smarter."
Being smart is a good thing...
Li Xin was silent for a moment. Seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little cold, she suddenly raised her head and said with a smile: "Xiao Feng, you may not know, but your uncle is now the vice president of Yanda University."
"Ah? Really?"
Li Peifeng looked at Zhao Haiqi in surprise, only to see him slightly nod his head: "There will be a meeting next Monday to formally appoint him as the deputy secretary of the school, vice president, and concurrently as the director of the Organization Department. In addition, there are other more detailed responsibilities that have not yet been determined.
Come down."
Zhao Haiqi said it calmly, but he was very happy in his heart, otherwise he would not be able to tell in detail what position he held.
If he was promoted from a dean of Yan University to an ordinary vice-president with no actual duties, it would only be an ordinary promotion, and it was not worthy of him to elaborate. He could just nod his head reservedly.
But if you hold the two positions of deputy secretary and organization director while being the vice president, the nature is completely different. If you go up further, you can either be directly transferred to another double-first-class university as a leader, or directly join the department, and Zhao Haiqi
He can still work for ten more years before retiring. He still has room to go further...
Damn it! This fucking Gaosheng is Chi Guoguo!!
Li Peifeng's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought that his father-in-law is getting more and more awesome, and he doesn't know whether this is good or bad for him. If he finds out about his bad deeds in the future... I'm afraid I will have to try it myself!!
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The fear in my heart did not affect Mr. Li, a flatterer, but he had a look of surprise on his face, as if he was proud of it: "Congratulations, uncle, this is great. That's right.
The so-called: when the clouds open and the sun shines, the kites fly in the strong spring breeze. They hang high on the blue clouds and ascend into the nine heavens with auspiciousness... You can better display your ambitions."
"Hahaha, you kid, you can write poems out of your mouth. No matter whether you are ambitious or not, you are just teaching and educating people."
This flattering shot is really comfortable and exciting!
Zhao Haiqi couldn't help laughing, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him, took a sip, and then smiled again: "You will graduate in three or four months. What are your plans? Do you still want to write a book in peace?"
Li Peifeng answered yes, and Zhao Haiqi tactfully suggested to him that it would be best to continue studying for a Ph.D. and teaching in colleges and universities. With his current capital and talents, he would have a bright future in the future. As he talked, he might be under the influence of alcohol.
It may also be that he feels that sooner or later we are a family, so he expressed it more clearly.
"You are still young, capable and smart enough, I will also help you."
Zhao Haiqi's eyes were meaningful and his tone was calm and calm: "As long as you enter the system, whether you want to pursue an academic or administrative career, you will have a great chance of achieving as much success as me. If you meet someone who appreciates you,
The rise to success only happens overnight. And you should know that there was an online novel author who is now a senior cadre, and his administrative level is only one level lower than mine."
"Looking at you, your academic qualifications and other conditions are superior to him in all aspects. The popularity of your works is not much worse than the one he originally wrote. Although the subject matter is different, if you settle down and write a book in the next few years,
If you write more orthodox content, the road ahead will be broader."
Li Peifeng hesitated and said, "Let me think about it," but he was not thinking about it at all because he had deeper concerns.
It's not that he doesn't want to eat the royal food. Let's make a hypothesis. If Li Peifeng has a job with a staff, no matter what the job is, as long as two hundred years have passed and the unit leader suddenly finds out that this person is still receiving retirement salary... then something big will happen!
And even if we don’t say that it’s two hundred years ago, just say that forty years have passed, and all the colleagues of the same age around me are gray-haired and about to retire, but they find that Li Peifeng, a handsome guy, shows no signs of aging, that will be a big problem!
As long as Li Peifeng is past middle age and cannot put on makeup every day to go to work, this situation cannot be avoided, so he simply doesn't look for a job to avoid these troubles.
As for things no matter how far back they are, Li Peifeng doesn't dare to think about them. Every time he thinks about them, he becomes very agitated and falls into a deep void...
"What have your parents been busy with recently?"
Halfway through the meal, Li Xin asked casually, and Li Peifeng answered naturally: "I go to work normally, but...my mother is pregnant with her second child."
"What?"
This shocked Zhao Haiqi and Li Xin. They asked again and again to confirm the ages of Li Peifeng's parents, and got the answer that they were only four or five years younger than them. They also heard someone from Li say that his parents were in very good health. They looked at them several times.
Every hospital said they could give birth smoothly, and they couldn't help but feel or envy the healthy bodies of Father Li and Mother Li.
"It's good. If your body can accept it, having another younger sibling in the family will be good for both you and your parents."
After saying this, Li Xin felt a little embarrassed: "But in this case, won't your parents be able to come to the capital recently?"
Li Peifeng sighed: "My mother plans to take leave in a week to raise the baby at home, because the doctor said that the first three months of pregnancy are more critical and not suitable for overexertion. My father also wants to take care of her at home. They will definitely take care of her in the near future.
You can’t come to see me anymore.”
Li Peifeng understood what Li Xin meant. It was nothing more than the two families sitting together to get to know each other and then talk about their children's problems.
But how can Li Peifeng dare to let the two families meet? Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi still have objections to him, so they will definitely not be able to practice acting to help their precious son cope with it. What if the old couple gets anxious and angry and regards their precious son as a villain?
, reveal all the things Li Peifeng did... Wow, wonderful!
Li Xin frowned and said, "I wanted to ask them to come over and have a meal together, but this...Haiqi?"
Zhao Haiqi thought for a while and said: "Then let's go to Ningyuan. The sooner the better, otherwise there won't be much time when I take office on Monday..."
After saying this, he paused and looked at Li Peifeng to discuss: "Tomorrow is the weekend, what about tomorrow? I can come back that evening."
Leader, my principal, are you fucking sick? Why is it tomorrow? Why are you so anxious all of a sudden? Didn’t you have objections to my relationship with Zhao Duoduo before? How can you condescend now?
Are you looking down?
Li Peifeng was confused and laughed: "Go to my house tomorrow? Isn't it too sudden?"
As soon as he finished speaking, from the corner of his eye, he saw Zhao Qingge, who had been eating silently, suddenly narrowed his eyes, but returned to normal in the next second: "Do you have anything else to do?"
It was indeed something. Li Peifeng agreed to go to Xu Manying's home to meet her parents...
"If it's not particularly important, then push it back for now."
Zhao Haiqi frowned slightly: "You have been talking for so long, and you have lived together during the winter vacation, but it is not appropriate for the two families to have never met. Moreover, in a few months, your mother will be pregnant, and we will not sit together for dinner anymore.
convenient."
Li Peifeng could see it. The current situation was so pressing that he could not tolerate his refusal. He could only think of other ways...
"Okay, let me call my parents now."
After saying that, Li Peifeng took out his cell phone, showed an apologetic smile, left the restaurant, went to the bathroom, and dialed Comrade Lao Li.
While waiting for the call to be connected, Li Peifeng looked at himself in the mirror in front of the sink, feeling upset.
Why did Zhao Haiqi and Li Xin change their attitudes and be so anxious to see their parents? There are probably many reasons. His thinking before coming was a little biased.
Not only was the performance of "Sword and Law" unexpectedly good, but his and Yu Hua's lectures brought the pseudonym Shi Yiliang Feng into the eyes of the orthodox literary world and became known to more people. Li Peifeng became famous and wealthy.
factor.
It was also because Zhao Duoduo was indeed too old; and also because Li Xin discovered that the two were living together during the winter vacation. Cohabitation may have played a big factor. No parent would not be anxious after seeing their daughter living with a wild boy.
So Zhao Qingge has accepted the five-in-one? Impossible. She probably still has the idea of not agreeing to divorce after marrying her, so that the remaining three girls are unfair and unjust. This is the maximum tolerance of Zhao Qingge.
One step...
The most critical question at this juncture is: Do the parents of both parties want to meet?
I definitely want to meet him. If I don’t meet, I can’t explain it to the Zhao family... But if I do, how can I explain it to my parents?!
"Hello? Talk."
"..."
Li Qiyuan said suspiciously: "Is the signal bad? Wait until I hang up and get back to you."
"Wait."
Li Peifeng took a deep breath: "What, my mother is not with you, right? I want to tell you something."
"Your mother is painting upstairs, what's going on?"
After Li Qiyuan asked subconsciously, he immediately laughed and guessed: "Have you had a quarrel with some of them? Are you going to break up?"
"no."
Hearing Li Peifeng's solemn tone, Li Qiyuan's voice also deepened: "Your affairs were exposed and their parents found out?" Then, he was extremely disappointed: "I knew there would be such a day, and I can tell you that a man can do things alone.
If only one person is responsible, even if they beat you to death, don't let the parents of those children come to us to settle the score, your mother is pregnant!"
Li Peifeng was helpless: "Please do me a favor. It's Qingge's parents who want to go to Ningyuan City to meet you and your elders tomorrow."
Li Qiyuan was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "You might as well reveal the secret."
"Stop complaining, I can't help it. Just prepare for it tomorrow."
"Can you not let them come? Just say that your mother is pregnant and it's inconvenient..."
"I told you, otherwise they would have wanted you to come to the capital."
Li Peifeng smiled bitterly: "And let me update the identities of Zhao Qingge's parents. Her mother is still the vice dean of the School of Economics and Business of Capital University of Finance and Economics, but her father Zhao Haiqi is already the vice president of Yanda, and the organizational minister in charge of personnel. In terms of rank and status,
He is much taller than the biggest official in Ningyuan. If people come to our place on business, they have to pave the road with loess and splash clean water on the street the day before. The city's top leader organizes a motorcade to go to the station to greet him in person, with two police cars flashing their lights.
Walking in front, no one else can get close...so if this couple can come over, it really brings face to our family!"
Li Qiyuan said in a deep voice: "Your father and I can't bear the face. Your mother has never seen such a big leader. She's afraid of being scared. You can handle it yourself."
"...It's you I want to see. Otherwise, I can handle it myself and I won't bother my parents."
Li Peifeng was extremely anxious, knowing that his father's attitude would make it impossible for them to go to Ningyuan City, because Li Qiyuan, a wife-loving maniac, was worried that the meeting between the two parents would cause trouble for his pregnant mother.
But Li Peifeng was also in a hurry and came up with a way to solve the current problem: "How about you come over by yourself tomorrow without bringing my mother, so that she will not be tired from traveling and sulking, which will affect the pregnancy. You can come over by yourself and have a casual chat with them."
Just chat."
"I won't go, I have to take care of my wife."
Li Qiyuan was a little impatient: "Okay, don't let them come. You can solve it yourself. If you can't solve it, I can't do anything."
"one million!"
Lao Li's voice was stern: "It doesn't matter how much you pay, I can't act with you. You bastard, you think you can get away with money?!"
"three million!"
"I said no, this is a matter of principle..."
"Five million, I'll book a ticket for you now!"
Li Peifeng interrupted Li Qiyuan decisively, and then, without waiting for the other party's reply, he immediately begged softly: "Dad, please, why do you care about the principle? You are my biological father, and I am your biological son. My blood is thick."
Yu Shui, please help me just once."
Li Qiyuan was silent for a long time, took a deep breath and exhaled forcefully: "Only this time, for the sake of... you are my son."
