"Baby, I'll give you a chance to organize your words. Say what you just said again."
Li Qiyuan stood upright, pointing at Li Peifeng's nose, his eyes seemed to contain a volcano about to erupt.
Li Peifeng was helpless: "Dad, I know this is very difficult for you, but I want to increase the money. Isn't it okay for me to increase the money? It's also five million. The appearance fee is five million per person... Your price is comparable to that of a first-line star."
Already."
Li Qiyuan's words came out from between his teeth: "Don't even think about fifty million!!"
"Is it uncle?"
Before the call was hung up, Xu Manying's crisp and lovely voice came from the phone: "Uncle, I, Man Ning, please answer the phone~"
"For you?"
Li Peifeng felt anxious, knowing that he couldn't get Li Qiyuan to agree on his own, so he had to hand over the phone and try to see if Xu Manying's words would work...
Li Qiyuan gritted his teeth and took it with a gloomy face, but he still knew whether to look back to see if Zhao Qingge had followed, and then quickly walked to the window at the edge of the kitchen. Although his face was still gloomy, his tone was kind and smiling.
Unexpectedly, the volume was also too low: "Man Ning, it's me, what's wrong?"
"ta~ta~"
Li Peifeng noticed that the footsteps outside the living room were approaching here, and immediately walked out of the kitchen to prepare to greet them.
"I'll help, don't let uncle do the work."
Zhao Qingge was talking like this and kept walking forward. Li Peifeng stopped her and hugged her, smiling and saying: "Honey, after my dad meets your parents tonight, can our teacher-student relationship be sublimated?"
Already?"
Zhao Qingge's face was cold: "It can't be sublimated. I will always be your mentor until you graduate."
"You can also take on the role of fiancée."
"Let go, your dad is still in the kitchen!"
"It's okay, don't worry about him, the food is ready and you can eat it soon."
In order to delay time and prevent Zhao Qingge from discovering that Lao Li was on the phone with Xu Manying, Li Peifeng carried him to the bedroom, and his hands wandered over Zhao Qingge's suit and trousers...
At this time, Li Qiyuan was still on the phone with a complicated mood: "Man Ning, you should know the purpose of my coming to the capital this time, right?"
"I know, for the sake of being with Zhao Qingge's parents... but it won't affect me."
Xu Manying tried her best to pretend as if nothing had happened, but she still couldn't hide her grievances: "Uncle, you should go see them today. Anyway, Peifeng also wants to marry Zhao Qingge first. But he must come to my house tomorrow. I have already told my parents."
.”
Li Qiyuan's face was like the suffering Jesus, with a hint of pain and compassion for all living beings: "Tomorrow is Monday, I planned to go back to work tonight... Of course, you can take leave, it doesn't affect anything
.But the problem is, Man Ning, you want me to meet your parents for the same purpose as Qing Ge, right?"
"right!"
After Xu Maning responded affirmatively, she seemed to be more confident: "Uncle, you should know that strictly speaking, I am Peifeng's real girlfriend. I am the only one who has officially announced that we are together. By the way, you are still here
You didn't go to Zhao Qingge's house to have dinner with them, did you? I said you shouldn't have gone. You are coming to my house to meet my parents today. Peifeng and I got together in September last year, and I was his first love...
You shouldn’t meet anyone else’s parents!”
Daughter-in-law No. 2 is here, right? You’re going to give me a hard time, right?
Li Qiyuan wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and was silent for a moment. When Xu Maning thought the signal was not good, he made up his mind and said: "Man Ning, it's like this. Just now Peifeng and I arrived at Qingge, and we talked to your aunt
The four of us chatted over a video call. After discussion, we all thought it would be more appropriate for them to get married after Peifeng graduates. So after dinner, I asked Qingge’s parents for their opinions.
It’s settled…”
"Yes, I know."
Xu Manying's tone did not fluctuate: "They have planned this for a long time, but it does not conflict. I will graduate in two years, so I plan to marry him in two years. But recently, my parents always want to see you
And auntie, it just so happens that you are here this time."
Speaking of this, Miss Xu seemed to be choked up after a pause in her tone: "If it's inconvenient for uncle, forget it, we'll talk about it next time when we have a chance...hiss~wu~"
That little brat is really guilty!!
Li Qiyuan cursed secretly. Hearing faint cries, he felt as if he had made some heinous mistake. He couldn't help but subconsciously said: "Go, I will go see your parents tomorrow..."
As soon as the words came out, Lao Li realized something was wrong and went back to make up for it: "Let's wait until evening. I'll finish talking to Qingge's parents in the evening, and then talk to..."
"Okay, then it's settled. Goodbye, uncle!"
Xu Maning interrupted with a tearful smile, and hung up the phone before he could finish.
Li Qiyuan slowly put down his hand and stared at the knife on the cutting board in a daze.
Hold it, hold it, I can't hold it anymore!
Pick up the kitchen knife and cut the meat in half!!
"peng~"
"Dad, let me do it."
Li Peifeng showed up just in time for the meeting, followed by Zhao Qingge: "Uncle, you don't need to do anything."
"Yes, you go and have a rest."
Li Peifeng tried to take the kitchen knife, once or twice, but failed to take it. He tried to use a little force, and then Li Qiyuan was willing to get out of the way. Without looking at his son, he said to Zhao Qingge in a low voice: "Can you contact your parents?
, let’s move the conversation a little earlier, it’s best if we go there after dinner, otherwise we’ll be idle now, and I have to catch the train in the evening.”
Lao Li planned to end the meeting with Zhao Qingge's parents early so that he could have more time in the evening to chat with Xu Manying and the others.
Zhao Qingge also felt that the time set at four in the afternoon was a bit late, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll ask them if they have time."
…
Although Li Xin and Zhao Haiqi are university leaders and are busy with work on weekdays, they do not have to work overtime every weekend. Moreover, they have an important meeting today, so they have specially arranged for a whole day to be free.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With plenty of time, Li Qiyuan’s proposal was approved, so the meeting between the parents of both parties was three days earlier than the originally planned 4 p.m.
More than hours.
"Haha, Peifeng is right, my future in-laws are indeed young."
"Really? After hearing what you said, I instantly felt several years younger, haha~"
"Professor Li, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, there is some fruit here."
The two families met for the first time and greeted each other politely.
Needless to say, both Li Xin and Zhao Haiqi are sociable people. Their words and deeds are impeccable. They did not reveal some uncomfortable looks or say condescending words because of their social status gap. Instead, they are very warm and natural.
Li Qiyuan is also transparent and humorous. His every move and every word and action exudes personal charm.
Li Peifeng has always felt that his father is not only a teacher, but also a philosopher, a poet, and maybe half a talk show actor. This old man has some humor genes in his bones, and he has inherited it, so he cooperates with Lao Li at this time and lets the conversation
The atmosphere is on a higher level.
The topic ranged from Yu Huizhi, who was pregnant, to each other's universities and interesting things at work, and then returned to family, talking about the generations of Li Peifeng and Zhao Qingge's grandparents and grandparents.
Everyone was chatting enthusiastically. Li Qiyuan and Zhao Haiqi had already called each other "brother" and "brother" familiarly. Half an hour passed before they knew it. Li Qiyuan suddenly slapped his head and said that he almost forgot something.
Then, he picked up the schoolbag he had brought from home, opened it and took out a painting tube.
"My wife painted this by herself. Before she came here, she told me to give it to you two."
Li Xin smiled and waved her hand: "Xiao Feng never comes empty-handed every time. Professor Li, you come here and bring something with you, which makes us..."
"A gentleman has benevolence in his heart and etiquette in his heart. A benevolent person loves others, and a polite person respects others. Those who love others will always be loved by others, and those who respect others will always respect them."
Zhao Haiqi stretched out his hand to take the scroll and said politely: "As courtesy, it will be our turn next time... Let me see what is painted."
"The painting is of the scenery of Ningyuan City. She and I both hope that you two will have time to visit us."
Zhao Haiqi praised it repeatedly and slowly unfolded the scroll in the painting tube on the coffee table. The size of 81cmx51cm covered half of the coffee table, and everyone could see it at a glance.
This is a work depicting the sunrise on the seaside of Ningyuan City. It overlooks the sea from the perspective of Ningyuan's Zeshan Mountain. The woods on the mountain are lush and green. The red sun not far away has just jumped out of the sea level. It is golden and red, burning through half of the sky.
, giving people a majestic feeling of "the sea breeze is dyed with thousands of rays of light, and the waves are turbulent all the time".
Looking at the sea water again, the blue color combined with the sunshine of the first day has formed a gorgeous color, like a dream, full of waves, and sparkling. The translucent and crystal water is flexible, blurry, and full of texture, even if it is captured with a camera.
I can't capture the beauty of the painting.
The painting style is super realistic, fresh and clear, and the brushwork is smooth and natural.
Especially the depiction of water is not only realistic, but also very moving. Yu Huizhi used watercolor to show the light and shadow effects of sea water under different climate conditions. This technique is a masterpiece. Because the most taboo thing about watercolor painting is repeated modifications and pigments
The multiple layers cover it, which makes painting with water quite difficult.
"Oh~"
The three members of the Zhao family were obviously shocked at this time, either out of intention or out of respect.
"My mother's painting skills have improved a lot." Li Peifeng commented. Li Qiyuan glanced at him and whispered: "Your paintings will be of some help to her."
"Auntie can hold an art exhibition." Zhao Qingge praised, and Zhao Haiqi also nodded in agreement: "It's so precious that my in-laws have troubled me. Brother Qiyuan, you must thank her on our behalf. We will definitely go to Ningyuan next summer vacation.
The city is a guest."
Li Xin looked at the title "Sunrise on the Sea" written in the blank space in the upper right corner of the painting, as well as Yu Huizhi's three delicate and elegant autographs. She was not only satisfied with the painting, but also admired the author.
As the saying goes, the painting is like the person, and the work represents the author's personality to a large extent.
With such a versatile and romantic mother-in-law, Qingge would never have been in trouble when she got married, and the two families will definitely get along very harmoniously in the future!
"I still have to thank you in person. Lao Li, can you give me Huizhi's WeChat account and I can chat with her?"
"Okay." Li Qiyuan happily agreed and reported the number. It should be no problem for Li Xin to dial it now.
At this point, Li Xin went into the bedroom to call Yu Huizhi, while Li Qiyuan and Zhao Haiqi continued to chat.
However, no one mentioned anything serious, namely the marriage of the two children!
Zhao Haiqi wanted Li Qiyuan, the man's parent, to take the initiative to speak. This was reasonable. After all, the man's parents should mention this kind of thing first. If he said it, he would lose his standing. On the other hand, Zhao Haiqi also felt that taking the initiative would easily make the other party feel uncomfortable.
My old girl seems to be worried about getting married, although in fact she is really worried about getting married.
Li Qiyuan didn't want to speak out of guilt, evasion and other reasons. Originally, Lao Li also wanted to settle the marriage between Li Peifeng and Zhao Qingge as soon as possible so that the remaining three girls would give up. However, Xu Maning gave him a call and gave up.
These girls are really obsessed with their son and don't want to let go no matter what. Now Li Qiyuan has no choice. Is it really necessary to be his son's accomplice and let Li Peifeng marry one, divorce one, marry one, and divorce?
One, indirectly realizing his wolf ambition in this way?
Then Li Qiyuan would feel that he had failed as a father, so he was inexplicably resistant. Secondly, even when chatting with Zhao Qingge's parents, he always inadvertently thought of the scene when he went to the Xu family tomorrow...
It can be said to be quite bad!!
"Have you finished chatting?"
At this time, Zhao Haiqi noticed Li Xin walking back to the living room from the bedroom with her mobile phone. She nodded and smiled: "Huizhi is beautiful and kind-hearted. You are lucky, Old Li."
Li Qiyuan showed the most sincere smile in this meeting: "Indeed, meeting her may have overdrawn my blessings in the first half of my life."
So I gave birth to such a careless son to pay off the debt!!
What are you looking at me for?
Li Peifeng secretly cursed, took Zhao Qingge's little hand and put it in his arms, squeezing it secretly. At this time, Zhao Duoduo was uncharacteristically honest, sitting on one side and listening intently to the conversation between the two families...
"The scenery in this painting, eh, Hui Zhi painted it really well!"
Zhao Haiqi stared at the paintings on the coffee table and sighed again: "We must go to Ningyuan City to see it in person if we have the chance."
Li Xin nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Old Li, do you and Huizhi want to come to the capital for development?"
"You don't have to resign from Liaoyuan University of Technology. You can come here through special appointment. I see that there are many first-class universities in the capital that are in short supply of Mazhi professors, which makes students dislike this course...such as Agricultural University, University of Science and Technology, and Hangzhou University.
Including the economy and trade where I work, I don’t think there is any problem. Still, with Huizhi’s superb painting skills, it would be a pity to stay in an engineering school like Liaoyuan University of Technology to teach art... The most important thing is that if you come to the capital,
, I can get closer to Xiaofeng in the future.”
Zhao Haiqi hummed: "It would be better if the two families are closer."
No need to!
Li Peifeng's heart tightened.
And Li Qiyuan understood that this was a hint from the couple opposite him. As long as he nodded, he and his wife could enter those first-class universities as specially appointed professors and teach at the same time. At the same time, they could retain their positions at Liaoyuan University of Technology and receive double salary from now on.
The salary sounds quite attractive. Lao Li has no doubt that they don’t have the ability, but he just doesn’t want to build relationships to gain popularity, and he doesn’t want to find a job for himself. He just wants to lie down!
"It's pretty good now, and she's still trying to get pregnant, so we're unlikely to run back and forth."
Li Qiyuan declined politely and said politely: "Fengfeng doesn't need us to take care of him. He is about to start a family... Let him make his own way in the future. When the child grows up, his mother and I can no longer take care of it. Financially, occasionally
He needs to take care of me."
"Getting married soon?"
Zhao Haiqi instantly caught this key word and smiled faintly: "He hasn't gotten married yet, so he still needs you as a father to help him for the last time. And how long is it that you mentioned, Brother Qiyuan, you might as well
Tell me in detail?"
After all, there is no way to escape this situation!
Li Qiyuan sighed in his heart, but with a smile on his face: "Before coming here, I consulted them privately for their opinions. Why don't we just wait until he graduates and settle the matter? Brother Haiqi, what do you think?"
"Exactly what I thought."
Zhao Haiqi nodded with satisfaction: "After Xiaofeng graduates, it will be the summer vacation in July. At that time, everyone has time, and we can hold two. We will hold a relatively small thank you banquet in the capital, and you will hold a large one in Ningyuan City.
A large-scale formal ceremony... After all, the relationship between two children is a bit special, so it is best not to hold a formal wedding in the capital."
At this point, I stopped talking.
"It depends on what the two children want to do at that time. They can do whatever they want and how many events they want to do."
Li Qiyuan did not explicitly agree, he just said haha.
What’s the use of holding a few shows? If you have to leave in a few days, it’s all superfluous!!
"It would be nice to have a real wedding ceremony."
Zhao Qingge suddenly spoke up and looked at Li Peifeng with serious eyes: "Can we just hold one wedding?"
Li Peifeng nodded heavily: "Okay, I'll just do one show, just with you!"
Just do one with me and one for each of the other three people, right?!
Zhao Qingge could completely hear the underlying meaning of Li's words. He pursed his lips and clenched his fists tighter...
