Chapter 1,337 First Talk about Marriage
…
"Come on, Xiaodong, let's go over there and have a look!"
"Grandpa, why don't we go inside and talk? It's too cold outside in this winter. If I keep freezing you again! My dad will have to skin me!"
"Haha, your dad doesn't dare. Grandpa is here to support you! ... Besides, the sun is just right at noon, and the weather outside isn't that cold. Besides, I've been bored in the house all morning. If I don't come out to get some fresh air, I'll
My old bones are almost sick! Let’s go!”
"Why!"
Liu Dong agreed and quickly helped the old man to continue walking in the garden.
Of course, it is said to be a garden, but except for a few evergreen green plants such as holly and podocarpus, most of the rest have withered! But looking at the stems and branches, facing the sun, standing proudly in the harsh winter and ice and snow
The ancient trees and vines make people experience a desolate and bleak beauty that is unique to winter.
Walking in such an environment has a unique charm.
After the old and young people walked for a while chatting about their family affairs, the old man changed his tone and said, "Xiaodong, do you know the girl named Jiang Tingting from the old Jiang family?"
"Jiang Tingting!" Liu Dong's face froze, and then he secretly looked at the old man. After finding that there was no other abnormality except calmness, he relaxed a little, and then said carefully, "I know you! But, grandpa, you
How did you know?"
"Don't worry about how I know it, first tell me how you feel about this girl? Do you like her?"
"Well, I quite like it!"
"That's good! Old Jiang came to me two days ago and said that you two little guys have known each other for a long time and have been together for several years. He wants to discuss your marriage with me. But considering this matter
I didn’t hear you say it, so I pushed it back. Of course. Now that you have admitted it yourself! Then the marriage is settled...!"
"No! Grandpa, please don't!" Liu Dong waved his hand quickly.
"No? Why? Didn't you say you liked it just now?"
Seeing the surprised expression on the old man's face, Liu Dong felt anxious, bitter, and even a little overwhelmed! Liu Dong, who was involved in promiscuity for his own selfish desires, finally had to face his most troublesome relationship problem.
"But how do you say something like this?"
Liu Dong suddenly lost his composure because this was simply a confusing account.
"What's wrong? Is there anything unspeakable in this?...Oh, are you worried about that girl named Wang Qiang?"
"That's right, grandpa. Sister Wang helped me and took care of me when I was still young. She also gave me everything. She is still running the company for me now. Plus she is virtuous and filial. I
My parents have long regarded her as their daughter-in-law! Moreover, I also promised to marry her. If I suddenly change my mind now, wouldn’t I become Chen Shimei? Isn’t being ungrateful and fond of the new ruined the family tradition of our old Liu family?
Liu Dong said quickly.
"This is indeed a problem!" The old man frowned.
Although Liu Changqing was born in the military, fundamentally speaking, the Liu family still belonged to a scholarly family. During the Qianlong period, his ancestors had a Jinshi. Although he was only a magistrate of Anqing Prefecture when he became an official, he was still a fifth-rank official, which is equivalent to today's main department level.
Officials! Although the Liu family later declined slightly, almost every generation in the family had descendants who were scholars.
It can be said that the family has a rigorous family tradition, strictly abides by Confucian ethics and morals, has a correct mind, cultivates oneself, manages the family, governs the country, and brings peace to the world!
Now, the Liu family has reached its peak in the hands of the old man, but the family rules and ideas he has accepted since childhood have made the old man attach great importance to the inheritance of the family and the education of the Liu family's children. He will definitely not let the Liu family's children do anything.
Things that are disgraceful to the family.
Regarding this point, Liu Dong, who had received the same education from his father since childhood and was deeply impressed, obviously knew it in his heart.
"Xiao Wang's child is indeed good. Not only is he beautiful, but he is also gentle and virtuous. He is a good candidate to be a wife!" The old man nodded.
"That's right!" Liu Dong said quickly.
After thinking for a while, the old man waved his hand a little irritably, "Forget it, I don't care about your stupid things! But Xiaodong, you are not young anymore! It's time to have a child! You have created such a big career.
, there can’t be no one to inherit it, right?”
"Don't worry, I will definitely give you a great-grandson next year!"
"That's good!" The old man nodded with satisfaction.
"Hey, by the way, how are things going in your company? I heard that your uncle ran into trouble some time ago?"
"It's just some clowns, it's been solved now! You don't have to worry!"
After glancing at Liu Dong, the old man nodded, "That's good! But, Xiaodong, remember! Now you are no longer alone, you have our Liu family behind you to support you. No matter it is Rothschild
We are not afraid of the De family or the Stillman family!"
Obviously, the old man is not ignorant of Liu Dong's past experiences.
Seeing the concern and encouragement on his grandfather's face, Liu Dong felt deeply warm in his heart and said seriously: "Grandpa, I know that with the background of our Liu family, we don't need to be afraid of anyone. But as a descendant of the Liu family, even more
You should try to solve the problem by yourself first. If it really can’t be solved, it’s not too late to rely on your family. Otherwise, if you seek help from your family whenever you encounter difficulties, wouldn’t you become a playboy!”
"Haha, he is indeed grandpa's good grandson! The descendants of our old Liu family should have this kind of energy!" After patting Liu Dong's shoulder with a cheerful expression, the old man took his left wrist and said, "Let's go, then
Take a walk with grandpa for a while!"
"Why!"
Liu Dong agreed and quickly supported the old man's arm and walked forward along the winding garden road.
…
The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and the 2004 Lunar New Year has arrived in a blink of an eye. The Liu family's ancestral home, which is usually a bit deserted, becomes more and more lively as more and more Liu family children gather.
Considering that this was the first Spring Festival that the Liu family had celebrated after their reunion, Liu Guoliang, Liu Guodong and other three generations of descendants who were in the army also specially asked for leave and came over.
"Brother, you're sticking it crookedly! Second brother, tilt it a little more to the left, just a little bit!"
Liu Fei, who came back from the United States during the winter vacation, chattered and directed Liu Dong and Liu Guodong to post couplets and money transfers. Although she had an out-of-touch personality and had not known the Liu family for as long as Liu Dong, she was already familiar with the three generations of the Liu family.
And the next generation and the fourth generation are all very familiar with each other.
No, commanding Liu Guodong to get up in military uniform is no different from commanding Liu Dong.
"Feifei, let me tell you when will you change your irresponsible temper, otherwise some boy will like you! You look like a tomboy!" After jumping off the bench, Liu Dong patted his precious sister's head.
Finally, he said with a loving lesson in his eyes.
"Okay, Xiaodong! Don't worry about Feifei, she has already found her boyfriend!" Liu Guodong said with a smile after jumping down from the ladder.
"Oh?" Liu Dong was stunned.
"Oh, second brother, you are not allowed to say that!"
Liu Fei blushed, hurriedly pushed away her brother's hand, and said coquettishly to Liu Guodong.
"Okay, okay, don't tell! Don't tell! But, Feifei, even if I don't tell, your brother will know it very quickly with his ability!" Liu Guodong is also somewhat doting on Liu Fei, a cousin he has only known for a short time.
.
Hearing this, she was stunned for a moment. Thinking of her brother Na Nuo's big business group and the background of the Liu family, Liu Fei also understood that if she wanted to hide it, she probably wouldn't be able to hide it for long.
"I'm ignoring you!" Liu Fei, who was helpless when she saw her brother's curious expression, stamped her feet and ran towards the yard like a light deer.
"Brother, if you dare to tell your parents about me, I will also tell them about the foreign wife you found for them abroad!"
Listening to his sister's remaining words and the interested and inquiring look on Liu Guodong's face next to him, Liu Dong smiled awkwardly. He never expected that his precious sister would actually threaten him with the matter of Ivanka Trump.
"Liu Dong, you are indeed an immoral young man. It seems that you have lived a very cool life outside these years. No wonder I can't see your people at home all day long!" Liu Guodong said playfully.
"Haha, second brother! You misunderstood, I am not like Feifei said! Oh, by the way, is the name of the person who is talking to Feifei about a partner? Gao Yuan?"
Liu Dong, who didn't want his affairs to be talked about too much, decisively changed the subject.
"Hey, so you already knew it?"
"I met him once when I went to the United States to visit Feifei last year!" Liu Dong said with a hint of memory on his face.
"Oh! No wonder!"
"Second brother, do you know this man named Gao Yuan?"
"I don't know much about him, but his brother Gao Ling and I grew up together in a military compound. In terms of his brother's character, Gao Yuan should be pretty good too. But don't worry, Liu Fei is also mine.
Sister, I will definitely inquire more when the time comes, and I won’t let the dandy deceive her of her lifelong happiness!" Liu Guodong promised.
"That's good! Thank you, second brother!"
"Why are you so polite? One family doesn't talk about two different things! Let's go, we still have a few doors inside that haven't been posted!"
"OK!"
After saying this, the two of them lifted up their respective benches and walked into the courtyard gate.
…
The Spring Festival of 2004 was particularly lively for Liu Dong. This was the happiest Spring Festival in his life of the past 24 years.
No longer having no friends except his parents and sister, no longer watching others visiting relatives and friends, and realizing the value of family ties, he could only stay at home alone and endure loneliness.
Grandpa, grandma, eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, and four generations of the Liu family, a total of nearly 30 people, big and small, slowly filled the entire Yuquan Mountain villa. The lively atmosphere, the rich flavor of the New Year,
The care from his elders made Liu Dong especially cherish it when he experienced this kind of atmosphere for the first time.
This year he also spent the longest time at his grandparents’ house.
