Early the next morning, Xu Xiaorou started to make a menu. There were all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, which was a real investment.
"Mom, you don't need to buy so many vegetables, right? It's not the Chinese New Year." Lu Waner felt that her mother was in a hurry.
Xu Xiaorou frowned and said disapprovingly, "What do you know? This is also Li Wei's first time coming to our house for dinner.
To put it another way, it is the first time for a new daughter-in-law to visit her husband’s house, so she should be given a red envelope.
Besides, if someone wants to live in our family in the future, we have to show him our family’s strength.”
Lu Waner curled her lips and did not dare to speak any more.
I just feel that it’s great to be a man. Once you get married, you don’t have to live in other people’s homes. You can live in your own home for the rest of your life.
Xu Xiaorou went to the vegetable market with her basket to buy groceries. Before leaving, she repeatedly told Li Wei, "You must go and tell Li Wei in person that you want to invite him to our house for dinner. Don't call to say it, as it seems insincere."
Lu Waner didn't take it seriously. What kind of sincerity does a coming son-in-law need? It's good that her family is willing to marry him.
Thinking of this, Lu Wan'er suddenly felt as if she had been struck by lightning and woke up.
Chun Yujiang must have viewed her in the same way before, so he dared to despise her so much. He probably thought that if he was willing to marry her, he should be grateful.
Also, Wang Jiangtao’s family didn’t want to give any gifts, and his second sister also acted condescendingly, so that’s probably what he meant.
I didn’t expect that being a woman’s wife would be so worthless.
It turns out that there are so many benefits to being a man, and I am told every day that women can hold up half the sky.
Why don't they ask the men to give half of the benefits to women? They just let women stand up to the sky.
I have been caught in the rain, so I also tear up other people's umbrellas.
Lu Waner went downstairs and found a canteen, then called Li Wei's office directly.
"Hello, I'm looking for Li Wei."
The person who answered the phone was Li Wei's colleague, "Li Wei, someone is looking for you."
Then he covered the phone and whispered, "It's a girl. When did you find her? She didn't say a word. She's awesome."
Lu Waner rolled her eyes there, the man was so boring.
"Hello, I am Li Wei, who are you?"
"It's me, Lu Waner. My parents invite you to come to our house for dinner tonight. Please clean up before you come too late." Lu Waner hung up the phone after saying that, without waiting for Li Wei's reply.
She bet that Li Wei wouldn't dare not come.
Lu Wan'er was in a good mood, bought a cream popsicle, and went home humming a song.
I went home and watched TV for a while before Xu Xiaorou came back.
"Why are you still sitting on the sofa? Didn't I ask you to find Li Wei?" Xu Xiaorou said angrily.
"I've looked for him, I called him and told him." Lu Waner said nonchalantly.
"Why did mom tell you not to call, but to tell him in person why you kid is so lazy?" Xu Xiaorou said angrily.
"Mom, it's not that I'm lazy, it's just that I don't think we need to flatter Li Wei too much. Inviting him to our house for dinner is already a courtesy. There is no need for me to rush to his work to find him. It will make people look down on our family.
Yes." Lu Waner explained.
After hearing this, Xu Xiaorou felt that there was some truth to it. Men are all cheap, but they should not be too used to it. If they are too used to it, they will slap their noses in their faces.
"Okay, just call, it's not a big deal anyway.
Did you buy the medicine I asked you to buy?"
"I've been prepared for a long time. I never missed the key moment." Lu Waner said proudly.
She ran to the room, took out two small white paper packages from the locked drawer, and handed them to Xu Xiaorou.
"I bought two pairs to be prepared."
Xu Xiaorou looked at it and put it in her pocket, "If you act according to my look tonight, you must get Li Wei down first. As for your dad, we'll see what happens then."
In order to earn money in front of Xu Xiaorou, Lu Waner took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help pick and prepare vegetables.
The two of them had a casual meal at noon, and then waited for the evening.
When Lu Zhenguo came home from get off work and saw the fighting at home, he became very angry.
"I told you to show your strength, but I didn't ask you to show off your wealth to others. You prodigal old woman, how much does it cost to buy so many vegetables?"
"Lao Lu, look at how much you, Li Wei, can eat by yourself. In the end, all these delicious dishes ended up in the stomachs of our family of three. You are not happy to eat them for your own daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law."
Huh?" Xu Xiaorou said softly.
Well, I’m not happy and it costs money.
But Lu Zhenguo was embarrassed to say, that's all, everything was done, so he could only eat more tonight.
"Smell my clothes, do they smell like sweat?" Lu Zhenguo said, opening his arms and approaching Xu Xiaorou.
Xu Xiaorou quickly took a few steps back without leaving a trace. She was almost suffocated. How about being smoked to death?
Do you still need to smell? Is there any smell? When will you not smell? It smells so bad, and you don’t have any self-awareness at all.
"A little bit." Xu Xiaorou smiled awkwardly but politely.
"Okay, for the sake of entertaining my future son-in-law, I will reluctantly change my clothes." Lu Zhenguo looked like he had given Li Weitian a lot of face.
Not long after cleaning up, the doorbell rang.
It was Li Wei who came to the door, carrying two bottles of liquor, two bottles of cans, two packets of sugar, and a small piece of pork.
Although there was nothing too valuable, he did try his best.
"You're right here. What else are you buying? It's just a waste of money." Xu Xiaorou took Li Wei's things with satisfaction.
Although the family is poor, they are sensible. At least this is a hundred times better than that of Wang Jiangtao's family.
"It's my first time coming here for dinner. I don't know what to buy. I don't have many gifts, but I carefully selected them. I hope you like them," Li Wei said modestly.
"Come in quickly, Auntie, the dishes are ready, and we're just waiting for dinner." Xu Xiaorou enthusiastically welcomed her inside.
"Hello, uncle, hello Wan'er. I was delayed a little while shopping, so I'm sorry for waiting." Li Wei said politely.
Lu Waner smiled perfunctorily and looked at Li Wei critically without saying anything.
"You are Li Wei, young man, please sit down quickly. My uncle has just got off work not long ago. I heard from your aunt that you work in the power grid and your work is very stressful. If you have any difficulties, please tell Uncle Lu.
Your Uncle Lu has worked for so many years and has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. As long as it is not a big problem, your Uncle Lu can provide you with guidance."
Lu Zhenguo put it on before he drank it.
"Thank you, Uncle Lu, my work has been going very smoothly recently, and my boss also values me very much.
If I encounter any unsolvable problems at work in the future, I will definitely ask you for help."
"Okay, it's time to get off work. Why talk about work? Lao Lu is serious.
Eat the food, eat the food quickly, Li Wei must be starving." Xu Xiaorou said, putting the chopsticks into Li Wei's hand.
