I am the king of hard rice

Although the agreement with Zhao Qingge was to come to her house at [-]:[-] pm, Li Peifeng drove the Mercedes-Benz Grand G to prepare gifts after lunch. Not only the Zhao family, but also the Xu family who was going to go tomorrow, bought gifts from both families together.

Even if it's not the first time to meet the parents, you can't go empty-handed. Before the wedding, the etiquette must be thorough, as much as possible. It's normal to bring gifts to your father-in-law's house for a meal or something, and you might have to order something when you leave.

And this time Zhao Haiqi and Li Xin's couple came to see him. When Li Peifeng was on the phone with Lao Zhao, he guessed very closely.

Probably because the elders also saw the lecture between him and Yu Hua, felt the influence of it, and felt that Li Peifeng had a bright future, so they further recognized the relationship between him and his daughter, and wanted to use this meal to encourage and comfort him , and finally plan the future development of the two?

These were all Li Peifeng's guesses, and when he arrived at Zhao Qingge's parents' home at [-]:[-], he saw the amiable attitudes of Zhao Haiqi and Li Xin, which further confirmed this idea...

"Xiaofeng is here... Hey, what are you carrying in this big pile?"

"Didn't I tell you last time that you are not allowed to bring gifts?"

"At first I just wanted to buy some food, to show off my uncle and aunt's cooking skills, but I ended up buying too much while shopping."

Li Peifeng smiled honestly, Li Xin and Zhao Haiqi criticized a few words, warned him not to do this again, Lao Zhao led him to sit on the sand room, and asked casually, "Can you cook?"

"Yes, Qing Ge really likes to eat." Li Peifeng looked at Zhao Qingge who came out of the study slowly, his eyes lit up.

Today Lao Zhao is wearing a gray-green suit. The upper body is very slim. The double-breasted design is British OL style. It may be due to the thin leather belt around the waist, and the figure is more graceful than before. .The lower body is a pair of wide-leg trousers made of woven fabric. The legs are straight and three-dimensional. The hem of the trousers just reaches the ankle, and the gap between the slippers and the slippers reveals the beautiful silk feet... If you wear high heels, it will be completely poked In Li Peifeng's heart.

"Why did you come so early?"

"I came here ahead of time because I had nothing to do, and I was going to cook a few kung fu dishes, which took a lot of time. Uncle and aunt, I'm busy now."

After speaking, Li Peifeng got up and wanted to go to the kitchen, but Zhao Haiqi stopped him: "I don't need you for cooking, I have a nanny to do it."

"Xiaofeng, just sit there and chat with your uncle. I'll wash some fruit for you."

Li Xin also persuaded, and then carried some vegetables bought by Li Peifeng into the kitchen.But the latter even said that he didn't need to wash the fruit, and wanted to get up and show off his cooking skills, so Zhao Qingge said, "Let him do it, he cooks delicious food."

At this point Li Peifeng entered the kitchen smoothly, Li Xin and Zhao Haiqi still dissuaded him, but it did not affect him to work in the kitchen with his aunt who was cooking.

Washing vegetables, cutting meat, swish swish, swiftly like a chef in a five-star hotel.

Li Xin praised in surprise: "Xiaofeng, have you learned it before?"

"Self-taught, haha, maybe talented."

But Zhao Haiqi still had some opinions, and criticized his daughter outside the kitchen: "As long as the two of you are not married, he is a guest of our house. How can you let him cook?"

"You'll know it when you try his handiwork."

Zhao Qingge ignored it, and instead followed up with the kitchen, asking, "What do you plan to cook?"

"Today's menu is incredible. Most of them are from the state banquet, stewed lion's head, Buddha jumps over the wall, Dongpo beef, squirrel mandarin fish..."

Dinner was served at six o'clock. Chef Li Peifeng showed a serious attitude, and the dishes were also delicious. He reserved a portion of the prepared meals for the nanny, served them on the table, and everyone sat down.

"Plenty enough."

"Hehe, these few dishes are not common! Thank you for your hard work, Xiaofeng, sit down, have a drink, and then let Qing Ge take you back."

"Well, I'll do it myself."

"sit down."

Before the husband and wife actually moved their chopsticks, they praised Li Peifeng in unison. Zhao Haiqi poured Li Peifeng a glass of white wine himself.Afterwards, the dinner began in a harmonious atmosphere.

At first the topic was about the taste of the food. Apparently, neither Zhao Haiqi nor Li Xin expected that Mr. Li’s culinary skills were so superb. There are similar dishes prepared by famous chefs before, but they are not as delicious as the ones prepared by Li Peifeng this time.

"No wonder, no wonder Dodo insists on letting you cook."

"You are exaggerating, just eat and enjoy yourself, and I offer you a toast."

Li Peifeng laughed and raised his glass with Zhao Haiqi to drink.

"Is he really self-taught this cooking?"

Li Xin was also overwhelmed by the delicious food on the table with endless memories and fragrant lips and teeth, so she asked her daughter a question in a low voice, Zhao Qingge just nodded: "He is smarter."

It's good to be smart...

Li Xin was silent for a moment, seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little cold, she suddenly raised her head and said with a smile: "Xiaofeng, you may not know that your uncle is now the vice-principal of Yanda University."

"Huh? Is it?"

Li Peifeng looked at Zhao Haiqi in surprise, only to see him nod his head slightly: "The meeting will be held next Monday to formally appoint him. He will serve as the deputy secretary of the school, the vice principal, and concurrently the head of the organization department. In addition, there are other more detailed tasks that have not yet been determined." come down."

Zhao Haiqi said it calmly, but he was very happy in his heart, otherwise he would not be able to tell in detail what position he held.

If he was promoted from a dean of Yanda University to an ordinary vice-principal with no real job, it could only be an ordinary promotion, and it was not worth mentioning in detail. All he had to do was nod reservedly.

However, if he concurrently holds the positions of deputy secretary and organization minister while being the vice principal, the nature will be completely different.Going up further, he can either be directly transferred to another double-first-class university as the top leader, or directly join the ministry, and Zhao Haiqi can only work for ten years before retiring, and he still has room for further development...

Fuck!This damn is Chi Guoguo's Gao Sheng! !

Li Peifeng's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking that the old man is getting more and more powerful, and he doesn't know if this is good or bad for him, if the future finds out about his bad things... I'm afraid I can only try it myself! !

The fear in my heart does not affect Li, a flatterer, but his face is full of surprise, with a look of pride: "Congratulations uncle, this is great. As the saying goes; the clouds bloom, the sun rises, and the strong spring breeze Flying. Hanging high on the blue clouds, ascending to the nine heavens with auspiciousness...you can better display your ambitions."

"Hahaha, you boy, you can export it into poetry. Whether you are ambitious or not, you are teaching and educating people."

This flattery is really comfortable and powerful!

Zhao Haiqi couldn't help laughing, picked up the wine glass and touched him, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "You will graduate in three or four months, what's your plan? Do you still want to write a book with peace of mind?"

Li Peifeng answered yes, and Zhao Haiqi tactfully suggested to him that it is best to continue to study for a Ph.D. and teach in colleges and universities. With his current capital and talents, he will have a bright future in the future. As he talked, he might be affected by alcohol. It may also be that he feels that sooner or later they are a family, and he expressed it more clearly.

"You are still young, capable and smart enough, and I will help you too."

Zhao Haiqi's eyes were meaningful, and his tone was light and calm: "As long as you enter the system, whether you want to go academically or administratively, you will have a great chance to achieve as much as me. If you are appreciated by noble people, It’s only a matter of day and night. And you should know that there was an author of online novels who is now a senior cadre, and the administrative level is only one level lower than mine.”

"On the other hand, your academic qualifications and other aspects are superior to his, and the popularity of your work is not much worse than the one he wrote at the time. Although the subject matter is different, if you settle down in the next few years and write a book Write more orthodox content, and the road ahead will be broader.”

Li Peifeng hesitated for a while and said, "You asked me to think about it", but he didn't think about it at all in his heart, because he had deeper scruples.

It's not that he doesn't want to eat imperial food, let's make a hypothesis, if Li Peifeng has a job with a staff, no matter what kind of job it is, as long as 200 years have passed, the unit leader suddenly finds out that this person is still receiving his retirement salary... then something big will happen!
And even if we don't say that 200 years are so far away, but just say that 40 years have passed, colleagues of the same age around us are all gray-haired and are about to retire, but it is found that Li Peifeng, a handsome boy, has no signs of aging, then there will be a big problem!

As long as Li Peifeng is "middle-aged" and can't go to work every day with makeup, this situation cannot be avoided, so he simply doesn't look for a job to avoid these troubles.

As for the long-term future, Li Peifeng didn't dare to think about it. Whenever he thought about it, he would feel very irritable and fall into that deep nothingness...

"What have your parents been up to lately?"

Halfway through the dinner, Li Xin asked casually, and Li Peifeng replied naturally: "I work normally, but... my mother is pregnant with a second child."

"what?"

Zhao Haiqi and Li Xin were startled by this, they asked again and again to determine the age of Li Peifeng's parents, and got the answer that they were only four or five years younger than them. All the hospitals said that the delivery could go smoothly, and they couldn't help feeling or envious of Li's father and mother's healthy body.

"Very good. If the body can accept it, having another sibling in the family will be good for you and your parents."

After speaking, Li Xin was a little embarrassed again: "But if that's the case, won't your parents be able to come to the capital soon?"

Li Peifeng said: "My mother plans to ask for leave in a week to raise her baby at home, because the doctor said that the first three months of pregnancy are more critical, and it is not suitable for overwork. My father also wants to take care of her at home. They will definitely Can't come and see me."

Li Peifeng understood Li Xin's implication. It was nothing more than two families sitting together to get to know each other, and then talk about their children's problems.

But how dare Li Peifeng let the two families meet?Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi still had problems with him, so they definitely couldn't help their precious son act in a play to deal with it.If the time comes, the old couple will be anxious and angry, and regard their precious son as a villain, and shake off all the things that Li Peifeng has done... Wow, wonderful!
Li Xin frowned and said, "I wanted to ask them to come over and have a meal with us, this... Haiqi?"

Zhao Haiqi thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to Ningyuan, the sooner the better, otherwise I won't have much time when I take office on Monday..."

Speaking of this tone, he looked at Li Peifeng and discussed: "Tomorrow is the weekend, how about tomorrow? I can come back that evening."

Leader, my big principal, are you fucking sick?What is tomorrow?Why are you so anxious all of a sudden? Didn't you still have opinions on my relationship with Zhao Duoduo before?How can you condescend now? !

Li Peifeng laughed in confusion: "Going to my house tomorrow? Is it too sudden?"

As soon as he finished speaking, from the corner of his eye, Zhao Qingge, who had been eating in silence, suddenly narrowed his eyes, but returned to normal in the next second: "Do you have anything else to do?"

There was indeed something to do, Li Peifeng agreed to go to Xu Manning's house to meet her parents...

"If it's not particularly important, then push it back for a while."

Zhao Haiqi frowned slightly: "You have been talking for so long, and you lived together during the winter vacation, but the two families haven't seen each other. It's inappropriate. Besides, your mother will be pregnant in a few months, so it's not right for us to sit together and eat together again." Convenience."

Li Peifeng could tell that the current situation was so compelling that he couldn't refuse him at all, so he could only think of other ways...

"Okay, then I'll call and talk to my parents now."

After saying that, Li Peifeng took out his mobile phone, showed an apologetic smile, left the restaurant, went to the bathroom, and called Comrade Li.

While waiting to be connected, Li Peifeng looked at himself in the mirror in front of the sink, feeling disturbed.

Why did Zhao Haiqi and Li Xin change their attitudes and are so anxious to see their parents?There are probably many reasons, and he was a little biased before he came.

Among them, the results of "Sword and Law" were not limited to the unexpectedly good results. His and Yu Hua's lectures made the pseudonym "One or Two Winds in the World" enter the field of vision of the orthodox literary world and be known by more people. Li Peifeng is famous and rich. factor.

It was also because Zhao Duoduo was indeed too old; and also because Li Xin found out that the two lived together during the winter vacation. Cohabitation may have played a large role. No parents were not in a hurry after seeing their daughter living with a wild boy.

So did Zhao Qingge accept the five in one?Impossible, she probably still has the idea of ​​not agreeing to a divorce after marrying her, so that the remaining three girls have a bad name, and Lao Zhao's maximum tolerance is only this step...

And the most critical question at this juncture is; should the parents of both sides meet?

I definitely want to see you, I can't explain to the Zhao family...but I see you, how can I explain to my parents? !
"Hello? Talk."

"..."

Li Qiyuan asked suspiciously: "Is the signal bad? Wait until I hang up and get back to you."

"Wait."

Li Peifeng took a deep breath: "Well, my mother isn't with you, is she? Let me tell you something."

"Your mother is painting upstairs, what's the matter?"

After subconsciously asking, Li Qiyuan immediately laughed out loud, guessing, "Have you had a fight with them? Are you going to break up?"

"No."

Hearing Li Peifeng's dignified tone, Li Qiyuan's voice also sank: "Your matter was exposed, and their parents knew about it?" Afterwards, he was very disappointed: "I knew there would be such a day, but I can tell you that a man works alone. One person, even if they beat you to death, don't let the parents of those children come to settle accounts with us, your mother is pregnant!"

Li Peifeng was helpless: "You hope that I can order it. It is Qing Ge's parents who want to go to Ningyuan City to see your elders tomorrow."

Li Qiyuan was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "It's better for you to reveal your secrets."

"Stop complaining, I can't do anything about it, you should get ready tomorrow."

"Can you not let them come? Just say that your mother is pregnant, it's inconvenient..."

"I told you, otherwise people want you to come to the capital."

Li Peifeng smiled wryly: "And let me update the identities of Zhao Qingge's parents. Her mother is still the vice president of the Capital University of Finance and Economics, but her father Zhao Haiqi is already the vice president of Yanda University, the head of the organization in charge of personnel. In terms of rank and status, He is much taller than the biggest official in Ningyuan. If he came to our place on business, he would have to pad the road with loess and pour clean water on the street the day before. The city's top leaders organized a convoy to meet him at the station, and two police cars flashed their lights. Walking in front, no one else can get close... So this couple can come over, it's really a face for our family!"

Li Qiyuan said in a deep voice: "It's too much face, your father and I can't bear it, and your mother has never seen such a big leader, afraid of being frightened, you can solve it yourself."

"...It is you that people want to see, otherwise I can handle it myself, and I will never bother my parents."

Li Peifeng was in a hurry, and knew that his father's attitude would not allow them to go to Ningyuan City, because Li Qiyuan, a loving wife, was worried that the meeting of the two parents would cause trouble for the pregnant mother.

But Li Peifeng was also quick-witted, and came up with a solution to the current problem that would have the best of both worlds: "Why don't you come over tomorrow by yourself instead of bringing my mother, so that she won't get tired and sullen and affect the baby, come over by yourself and chat with them casually Just talk."

"I won't go, I still have to take care of my wife."

Li Qiyuan was a little impatient: "Okay, don't let them come, you solve it yourself, if you can't solve it, I can't help it."

"100 million!"

Old Li's voice was stern: "It doesn't matter how much money you give, I can't act with you, you bastard think you can get away with money?!"

"300 million!"

"I said no, this is a matter of principle..."

"500 million, I'll book you a ticket now!"

Li Peifeng interrupted Li Qiyuan categorically, and immediately begged in a soft tone without waiting for the other party to reply: "Dad, please, don't care about principles. You are my own father, and I am your own son. My blood is thick." Yu Shui, just help me once."

Li Qiyuan was silent for a long time, took a deep breath and exhaled forcefully: "Only this time, for the sake of...you are my son."
