Seeing Liu Hai's attitude, the second aunt had no choice but to sigh and shake her head.
Life is not easy for the Liu family now. None of their three sons is at home, which means that when the two of them grow old, there will be no one to take care of them until they die.
Li Donglai did not blame Ding Qiunan for inviting Huangshan into his home. After all, it was not Ding Qiunan's fault, but Huangshan who was too greedy.
In the next two months, the steel rolling mill went through some rectification, and the atmosphere in the factory improved.
The radio factory was about to start production, and Li Donglai also gave up his rest and took the initiative to follow Zhang Qingcui to solve various engineering problems in the radio factory.
That day Li Donglai was busy in the workshop when Zhang Qingcui came over and told him that someone was looking for him outside.
Li Donglai walked out of the workshop and saw Liu Guangfu standing outside.
Li Donglai raised his wrist to look at the time and said, "It's not time for Liu Guangfu to get off work yet. Why are you here? What's the matter?"
"Director Li is like this. I've talked to someone and I want you to take a look. I wonder if you have time after get off work in the afternoon!" Liu Guangfu said with some uneasiness.
Li Donglai immediately couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.
He is neither Liu Guangfu's direct leader, nor Liu Guangfu's friend, nor Liu Guangfu's biological father.
Liu Guangfu had already talked to someone, why did he let him see it?
But when he thought about it carefully, Li Donglai understood.
Liu Guangfu has now completely fallen out with Liu Haizhong. In this case, Liu Guangfu really has no elders. Li Donglai usually takes special care of Liu Guangfu, just like his elders.
"Okay, I'm not busy at work today. After work, I'll treat you two to Donglaishun for dinner!"
Seeing Li Donglai agreeing, Liu Guangfu seemed particularly happy: "How can Director Li ask you to treat me to dinner? I have already prepared the money and meal tickets. You can just go directly to Donglaishun after get off work."
Considering that he had to see Liu Guangfu's partner first, Li Donglai did not work overtime and rode his bicycle to Donglaishun after work.
It's time for dinner at this time.
There are many customers in Dong Laishun, it is messy and crowded.
As soon as Li Donglai entered, he heard a shout from the side: "Director Li is over here!"
He turned around and saw Liu Guangfu and a lesbian sitting at a table near the window.
A copper hotpot and two side dishes have been placed on the table.
"Is Comrade Liu Guangfu your target?" Li Donglai walked over and said hello.
Liu Guangfu quickly stood up and introduced: "Director Li, this is my girlfriend Wang Yanzi!"
"Yanzi, this is Director Li Donglai whom I often mentioned to you. It can be said that without Director Li, I would still be in the courtyard, being beaten by Liu Haizhong!"
Li Donglai said hello to Wang Yanzi.
This girl has average looks, but she looks like the kind of virtuous daughter-in-law, and speaks softly and calmly. She is indeed more suitable for Liu Guangfu.
Later, Liu Guangfu introduced the affairs between him and Wang Yanzi while eating.
Wang Yanzi is the daughter of Aunt Wang next door to the compound where Liu Guangfu lives. Because of Jia Zhang's marriage, Aunt Wang met Liu Guangfu and thought this young man was very good, so she found someone to introduce her daughter to Liu Guangfu.
After getting along for a period of time, Liu Guangfu felt that Wang Yanzi was a kind-hearted girl and did not have the problems of those girls in the city, so he decided to marry Wang Yanzi.
"Then I'm here to congratulate you. When you get married, I will definitely give you a big red envelope."
When Liu Guangfu heard Li Donglai's words, he understood that Li Donglai approved of his marriage.
In fact, the most important reason why Liu Guangfu invited Li Donglai to see him this time was that he believed in Li Donglai's vision.
"Don't worry, Director Li, I will definitely notify you when we get married."
After exchanging a few words, Li Donglai got up and returned to the courtyard.
Liu Guangfu and Wang Yanzi walked towards the courtyard.
Wang Yanzi asked curiously: "Liu Guangfu, why did you invite Director Li here today?"
Liu Guangfu stopped, looked at Wang Yanzi and said sincerely: "Wang Yanzi, to be honest, I came to Director Li just to let him see if you are suitable to marry me and to be a good wife!"
These words sounded very abrupt, and many girls would be angry when they heard this, but Wang Yanzi didn't take it seriously.
She knew very well that Liu Guangfu was often beaten by Liu Haizhong in the past, which had created a psychological shadow. He was relatively repulsive to marriage and family, and Liu Guangfu's heart was full of insecurity.
Before deciding on a marriage partner, Liu Guangfu was naturally more cautious than ordinary gay men.
But Wang Yanzi still has one doubt
"Director Li from Liu Guangfu looks like an ordinary person. Is his vision that accurate? Or do you just trust him that much?"
Liu Guangfu nodded heavily and said: "Wang Yanzi, to tell you the truth, Director Li is the eldest man in our courtyard and the director of the laboratory of the steel rolling mill. He is the smartest and most capable person I have ever seen. Director Li is a good judge of people.
There has never been a mistake.”
Although Wang Yanzi didn't believe Liu Guangfu's words.
But now she has begun to dream about a better life, so she doesn't care.
Aunt Wang expressed clear support for her daughter's marriage to Liu Guangfu, but she still suggested that Liu Guangfu should tell Liu Haizhong about it.
"Liu Guangfu, I know you have conflicts with Liu Haizhong, but Liu Haizhong is your father after all. You are getting married to Yanzi now. If your father doesn't show up on your wedding day, how will the neighbors treat you and Yanzi?
Woolen cloth!
The neighbors don't know what Liu Haizhong is doing. They only think that you are unfilial and don't understand the world.
When you interact with your neighbors in the future, they will have opinions on you because of this matter, and it will be more difficult for you and your wife to live in the compound in the future!"
After all, Aunt Wang has lived for most of her life, and her understanding of the world is much deeper than Liu Guangfu's.
Although Liu Guangfu didn't want to invite Liu Haizhong, he had to admit that Aunt Wang had her reasons for considering it.
Besides, even if Liu Guangfu doesn't mind not having any elders attend the wedding, what about Yanzi?
Yanzi is a big girl, and she will definitely feel uncomfortable if she is talked about by others.
So Liu Guangfu decided to go home and tell Liu Haizhong about the marriage.
After work the next day, Liu Guangfu returned to the courtyard.
At this time, the second aunt was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard footsteps, she thought it was the neighbor next door who came in.
She said loudly: "Xiao Wang, please wait a moment, the aunt will come out soon."
When no one responded, the second aunt felt something was wrong, put down the spatula and walked out.
She was shocked when she saw that it was Liu Guangfu standing in the main room.
"Liu Guangfu, why are you back?"
Liu Guangfu actually didn't have that much resentment towards his second aunt.
Back then, he also hated his second aunt and did not stop Liu Haizhong when she beat him.
But later Liu Guangfu figured it out. Liu Haizhong had a bad temper and kept telling the truth at home.
If the second aunt stopped her, she would definitely be beaten too.
And it wasn't just the second aunt who was beaten, Liu Haizhong had such a fiery temper.
If Liu Haizhong were to stop him from beating Liu Guangfu, he would definitely be beaten even more severely.
Liu Guangfu smiled at the second aunt and said, "I'm getting married!"
Hearing this, the second aunt was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly she was overjoyed, "Oh, Liu Guangfu, you are getting married. This is a great thing. I'm going to have a grandson. Please tell me who that girl is from."
of?"
Liu Guangfu was about to introduce Yanzi's situation when Liu Haizhong came back carrying two bottles of wine.
Seeing Liu Guangfu also at home, Liu Haizhong thought Liu Guangfu had come to seek peace, and his expression suddenly turned cold.
Liu Haizhong snorted coldly and said: "What's wrong with Liu Guangfu? You want to move back? I'll tell you the truth, I don't have a son like you, so get out of here. I, Liu Haizhong, am a senior worker and I have seventy or eighty yuan a month."
With a salary, even if I don’t have a son, I can still support myself in my old age!”
When Liu Guangfu heard this, he wanted to leave immediately.
When the second aunt saw that something was not going well, she quickly grabbed Liu Guangfu and said, "Liu Guangfu, you also know that your father has this kind of temper. You must not go out with him."
Liu Guangfu originally wanted to leave, but then he thought of Yanzi and his heart softened, so he stopped.
Seeing this comforted Liu Guangfu.
The second aunt stepped forward again, took the two wine bottles from Liu Haizhong's hand and said: "Old man, what are you talking about? The reason why Liu Guangfu came back today is to tell me that he is getting married soon, and Liu Guangfu also invited
You are going to attend his wedding."
"What Liu Guangfu, are you getting married?" Liu Haizhong was not as happy as the second aunt imagined, and his face was as gloomy as ink.
"Liu Haizhong, your son is getting married, aren't you happy?"
"Why are you so happy?" Liu Haizhong pointed at Liu Guangfu's nose and said, "You are really not filial at all. You are about to marry a wife before you tell me. Did you get my consent? In the past, if someone's son married a wife,
Son, if his parents don’t agree, he won’t be able to get married. If you behave like this, I can beat you to death with a stick!”
Seeing that Liu Haizhong was still the same as before, Liu Guangfu said angrily: "Liu Haizhong, I have broken away from the father-son relationship with you now. The reason why I came to invite you to my wedding today is because you are in name only."
It’s still my dad. If others didn’t see you at the wedding, you would think that my son is really rude."
Liu Haizhong was angry because Liu Guangfu did not tell him in advance that he was marrying a wife. He originally wanted to reprimand Liu Guangfu and then kick him out.
Now after hearing Liu Guangfu's words, Liu Haizhong suddenly thought of a good idea.
He looked at Liu Guangfu and asked: "Liu Guangfu, which family is your daughter-in-law from? What is his family's background? Where does he work? You must not tell me that he has no job!"
Although Liu Guangfu was dissatisfied with Liu Haizhong, seeing that Liu Haizhong was concerned about his affairs, he still told Wang Yanzi's story in detail.
After listening, Liu Haidong suddenly raised a question: "Liu Guangfu, as you said, she is the only daughter in Wang Yanzi's family. After you get married, she is almost equal to someone else's son-in-law. In this case, Wang Yanzi
How much dowry did the Yanzi family give to our family?"
Liu Guangfu was stunned at the time.
He and Wang Yanzi are both young people, and Aunt Wang is quite open-minded and does not advocate the old ideas at all. Therefore, Liu Guangfu did not give Wang Yanzi any betrothal gifts, but only bought two pieces.
Just new clothes.
It's better now, Liu Haizhong still asked for a dowry without giving a bride price. What kind of logic is this?
The second aunt also felt that Liu Haizhong's request was a bit too much: "Liu Haizhong, please stop fooling around. This girl's family doesn't ask for a bride price!"
"Why is your old woman so stupid? They don't want it because they feel guilty. Lieutenant General Liu Hai is married to Wang Yanzi and is providing for that old woman Wang in her old age. He is almost like a son-in-law. Have you ever seen a follower?
Does the son-in-law want a bride price??"
Liu Haizhong said with great experience: "You have forgotten that in our old days, when our Liu Guangqi got married, the bride's family gave her a lot of dowry, which amounted to twenty or thirty yuan!"
Mentioning Liu Guangqi's incident, the second aunt's heart ached.
After Liu Guangqi graduated from high school, he was supposed to be assigned to be a small leader in the factory.
It's just because the capital is overcrowded.
There were no suitable jobs, so Liu Guangqi went to Baoding to work through relatives.
After arriving in Baoding, Liu Guangqi met a female worker in the same factory.
The female worker also had only one girl in her family.
When Liu Guangqi proposed to become his son-in-law and marry that girl, the second aunt did not agree.
Just kidding, Liu Guangqi is the eldest son of the Liu family, which means he is the legitimate son.
In the future, he will inherit the Liu family's business. If he becomes someone else's son-in-law now, wouldn't that make others laugh?
But Liu Haizhong didn't take it seriously, because he felt that he still had two sons, and Liu Guangqi would ride on one of them.
In addition, the girl's family also sent 25 yuan as compensation for Liu Guangqi being the son-in-law.
When Liu Haizhong saw the money and accepted it, he agreed to their marriage at that time.
From then on, Liu Guangqi became his son-in-law.
The second aunt knew that Liu Haizhong still wanted to follow the same example and extort some money from the Wang family, but she did not stop him.
Because the second aunt knew very well that even if the Wang family did not hand over the money to Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangfu would still marry that girl.
It would certainly be a good thing if you can take this opportunity to ask for a little more money.
"Liu Guangfu, you also know that when your brother got married, he was given a lot of money. Now that you are married, you will also be a son-in-law. How can the bride's family not contribute money? Does he look down on our Liu family?
.Liu Guangfu, let me tell you, he looks down on us, and the Liu family looks down on you."
Seeing that Liu Guangfu did not agree, Liu Haizhong patiently analyzed the pros and cons for Liu Guangfu.
