Jiang Changxi was embarrassed to say that compared with the young man from the Li family, his son was really thick-skinned. Zhou Lan was worried a bit unnecessarily.
However, as an elder brother, he could keep a calm face and only felt sorry for his son when he returned home at night. He was already much better than Mrs. Li.
After all, Mrs. Li didn't even think about everything on the surface. But Jiang Changxi still wanted to say that they were worthy of being mother and son.
None of the children were hurt, so it really wasn't a big deal. However, because of the complicated family relationship and Mrs. Li's temperament of a married woman, both families felt uncomfortable.
Jiang Changxi had to say something to Mrs. Li in her heart, she is so delicate and pretentious. You are a grandmother, why are you being pretentious? Saying that Mrs. Li is partial to Li Xiaolang, Jiang Changxi even feels sorry for Li Xiaolang, this partiality is really not good.
Jiang Changxi couldn't say that it was good for such a mother-in-law to marry into other people's houses and bring harm to others. She really had feelings that could not be expressed in words.
Fortunately, there are people in the Li family who understand. Especially in the next few days, Mr. Li specially brought Xiao Lang through the house, expressing his intention to not mind this.
Jiang Changxi said to Zhou Lan: "Master Li is so reasonable."
Zhou Lan glanced at Chang Xi with deep eyes and said nothing.
Jiang Changxi regretted it. He said something randomly, which was equivalent to saying that your mother was not reasonable and was suspected of running against Zhou Lan.
The arrival of the Li family of three received an unprecedented welcome from the Zhou family.
Zhou Lan and Jiang Changxi also specially carried Yuanyuan and Jiang Jiang out to play with Mr. Li Fu.
However, from the beginning to the end, the child was held in Zhou Lan and Jiang Changxi's arms, and the couple did not dare to let go of the child.
However, Jiang Changxi spoke beautifully and said with a smile: "My husband wants to take advantage of my Yuanyuan face to have more fun with my brother-in-law."
Mr. Li laughed. In this case, their brothers did spend a lot of time together.
And in Mr. Li's opinion, Zhou Lan, who is so tactful and prudent, may have been holding the child to maintain peace between the three children. And most of the time he was protecting his own son. After all, his children would not let go.
The ones who will suffer are the children whose parents are at ease.
If Zhou Lan can really get along with brother Xiaolang, that will be Xiaolang's blessing.
Mrs. Li had already signaled to the wet nurse to pick up Little Lang: "In the past, Little Lang would go to nurse at this time."
They really have no intention of letting the two brothers get along more. They are not willing to give face.
Maybe as a mother of two children, mother, son and brothers are not very open to each other, so she can be so willful.
Mr. Li and Mrs. Li were embarrassed for a moment. Zhou Lan held the child in his arms naturally, obviously not paying attention. Mr. Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Changxi clapped his hands and said cheerfully, "I made the arrangements incorrectly." He immediately arranged a side room for the wet nurse to feed the child.
From the beginning to the end, Zhou Lan and his wife's expressions did not change, and the reception was even more enthusiastic. It was as if Mrs. Li did not even see what she did.
If Mrs. Li hadn't seen Sister Jiang's behavior outside, she would have almost dismissed her as a real Sister Jiang.
Mr. Li and Mrs. Li once doubted the necessity of this trip and regretted it. When Mr. Li left and got on the carriage, they sighed.
Mrs. Li teased Xiao Lang and comforted Mr. Li: "Sister Jiang's temperament has always been generous."
Mr. Li sighed, no matter how grand he is, it depends on the situation. He originally intended to have good relations with the Zhou family, but with such a brother who has no interests involved, he is still such a good character, what a wonderful thing. What a pity.
Look at the lady over there: "I don't know what kind of husband my girl will find in the future."
Miss Li's face turned red. It was not suitable for her to talk about this topic.
Mrs. Li said with a smile: "My sister-in-law helped me look at several husbands and said that there are two very good husbands. My sister-in-law said that we should find an opportunity for both parties to see each other. They should be very good."
"
Miss Li didn't say a word anymore. She had to be shy about this question. But regarding the future, Miss Li really didn't dare to think too much about the future this time.
Mr. Li nodded: "Thank you, Madam. I will definitely come to my uncle's house to say thank you someday."
Mrs. Li said it naturally: "We are not outsiders, so my husband is being polite."
Then he talked to Miss Li about the affairs of the house, mainly about the dowry prepared for Miss Li: "Don't be shy, you should be familiar with these things early on, be aware of them, and take charge of them in advance.
"
Having said this, Mrs. Li asked Mr. Li: "What do you think of this arrangement?"
Mr. Li has nothing to fault. His wife treats her daughter very carefully and thoughtfully. As a stepmother, there is nothing to fault.
To put it bluntly, if Madam used half of her care for Zhou Lan and his wife, their relationship would be closer and more harmonious than they are now.
But Mr. Li has seen this clearly today, and he really cannot force it. It is not just what he wants.
It's better not to be too far or too close, so as not to hurt feelings and not make enemies of the children.
Mr. Li has no dissatisfaction with Mrs. Li. After all, Mrs. Li has an awkward status between the two houses. But Mr. Li still has to sigh, getting a wife really depends on luck.
Mr. Li said to Mrs. Li: "My wife has arranged everything very well. I will listen to your mother."
Mrs. Li bowed shyly: "Thank you, mother, for planning for your daughter."
After returning home, Mrs. Li carried Xiao Lang to the inner courtyard, and Mrs. Li went to the study to talk to Mr. Li.
After hesitating for a while, Mrs. Li said: "Dad, for your daughter's marriage, she still has to choose a familiar and kind family. It's not that the family chosen by my aunt is not good. It's just that my daughter feels that it is not suitable for her."
Mr. Li sighed and immediately understood why his daughter was like this: "It's dad who is dragging you down. Don't worry about Xiao Lang. Although dad is a little older, he can support Xiao Lang until he is an adult. Just be happy.
, choose the family you like to marry. Don’t think too much about this.”
No matter how you think about it, father and younger brother, if the person you marry is of bad character, you will be inviting the wolf into the house.
She can't just protect her young brother. She can't do such a thing. She should be more careful when marrying.
Master Li comforted his daughter: "What your mother said is right. You should learn some skills in running a house early and learn from your sister Jiang. Dad will be relieved no matter what kind of family you marry into. They will all be your younger brother's backers."
"
So you still have to be strong in your abilities. But it also depends on the person. Fathers and daughters are all self-aware.
Mrs. Li: "I'm afraid my daughter is not as safe as Sister Jiang, so it's better to be on the safe side. I don't want to be able to help Xiao Lang, but I just want to not bring disaster to Xiao Lang."
Mr. Li: "Why should my son be like this? In the eyes of a father, my son is as good as others."
Mrs. Li smiled heartily: "In father's eyes, daughters are naturally good."
Mr. Li: "Don't think too much. Dad is not old and can still hold on. Marry well and live a life like your sister Jiang. It will be comfortable for you as a father."
As a father, he could do this for his daughter, and Mrs. Li could only accept it. But she really felt sorry for her old father.
