I am the king of hard rice

"Little brat, I'll give you a chance to organize your words, and you repeat what you just said."

Li Qiyuan stood upright, pointing at Li Peifeng's nose, his eyes seemed to contain a volcano that was about to erupt.

Li Peifeng was helpless: "Dad, I know this is very difficult for you, but if I add money, can I add money? It's also 500 million yuan, and the appearance fee is 500 million yuan for one person... Your price is comparable to that of a first-line star. "

Li Qiyuan's words came out from between his teeth: "Don't even think about 5000 million!!"

"Is it uncle?"

Before the phone hung up, Xu Maning's clear and lovely voice came from the phone: "Uncle, I, Manning, answer the call~"

"For you?"

Li Peifeng felt uneasy, knowing that he could not get Li Qiyuan to agree by himself, so he had to hand over the phone, trying to see if Xu Manning's words would work...

Li Qiyuan gritted his teeth, and took it with a gloomy face, but he still knew to look back to see if Zhao Qingge had followed, and then walked quickly to the window at the edge of the kitchen. Although his face was still gloomy, his tone was kind and smiling. Satisfied, the volume was also low: "Man Ning, it's me, what's wrong?"

"ta~ta~"

Li Peifeng sensed footsteps approaching from outside the living room, and immediately walked out of the kitchen to greet him.

"I'll help, don't make uncle work."

Zhao Qingge continued to walk forward while talking like this, Li Peifeng stopped her and hugged her, and said with a smile: "Honey, after my dad and your parents meet tonight, can our teacher-student relationship be sublimated?" gone?"

Zhao Qingge's face was cold: "I can't sublimate, I have been your mentor until you graduate."

"You can also serve as your fiancée."

"Relax, your dad is still in the kitchen!"

"It's okay, don't worry about him, the dishes are ready, and you can eat them right away."

In order to delay Zhao Qingge's time, Li Peifeng did not let Zhao Qingge find out that Lao Li was on the phone with Xu Maning, and walked to the bedroom with his partner in his arms, with his hands on Zhao Qingge's suit and trousers...

At this time, Li Qiyuan was still on the phone with complicated emotions: "Man Ning, you should know the purpose of my coming to the capital this time, right?"

"I know, for the sake of Zhao Qingge's parents... but it doesn't affect it."

Xu Maning tried her best to pretend nothing had happened, but she still couldn't hide her grievance: "Uncle, you should go see them first, anyway, Pei Feng also wants to marry Zhao Qingge first. But you must come to my house tomorrow, I have already told my parents .”

Li Qiyuan's face is like the suffering Jesus, with a touch of pain and compassion for all sentient beings: "Tomorrow Monday, I planned to go back to work tonight...Of course, I can ask for leave, it doesn't affect anything But the problem is Manning, you want me to meet your parents for the same purpose as Qing Ge, right?"

"Correct!"

After Xu Maning responded affirmatively, she seemed to gain confidence: "Uncle, you should know that strictly speaking, I am Pei Feng's official girlfriend, and I was the only one who was officially announced with him. By the way, you are still Didn't you go to Zhao Qingge's house to have dinner with them? I told you that you shouldn't have gone. You're coming to my house today to meet my parents. Pei Feng and I were together in September last year, and I was his first love... You shouldn't even see other people's parents!"

Daughter-in-law No. [-] is here, right?Are you giving me a hard time?
Li Qiyuan wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and was silent for a moment. When Xu Maning thought the signal was not good, he made up his mind and said, "Manning, it's like this. Just now, Peifeng and I came to Qingge, and we talked to your aunt again. The four of us had a chat using video calls. After discussion, we all agreed that it would be more appropriate for them to get married after Pei Feng graduated. So after dinner, I will ask Qing Ge’s parents for their opinion. It's settled..."

"Yes, I know."

Xu Manning's tone didn't fluctuate: "They planned this way a long time ago, but it doesn't conflict. I won't graduate until two years later, so I plan to marry him in two years. But recently, my parents always want to see you And Auntie, it just so happens that you are here this time."

Speaking of this, after a pause, Miss Xu seemed to be a little choked up: "Uncle, it's okay if it's inconvenient, and I'll talk about it next time when I have a chance... hiss ~ woo ~"

That little brat is really sinful! !
Li Qiyuan couldn't stop cursing secretly. Hearing the vague crying, even he felt that he had made some heinous mistake. He couldn't help subconsciously saying: "Go, I'll go see your parents tomorrow..."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Lao Li realized that something was wrong, and went back to make amends: "Let's wait until the evening. I will finish talking with Qing Ge's parents in the evening, and then I will talk to..."

"Okay, then it's settled. Goodbye, uncle!"

Xu Maning interrupted with a teary smile, and hung up the phone before he finished speaking.

Li Qiyuan slowly put down his hand, staring at the kitchen knife on the cutting board in a daze.

Hold back, hold back, hold back!

Take the kitchen knife and cut the meat in half directly! !
"peng~"

"Dad, let me come."

Li Peifeng appeared just in time for Qihui, followed by Zhao Qingge: "Uncle, you don't need to do it."

"Yes, go and rest."

Li Peifeng tried to take the kitchen knife, once, twice, but he didn't take it. After a little tentative force, Li Qiyuan was willing to step aside, without looking at his son, and said to Zhao Qingge in a low voice: "Can you contact your parents?" , advance the conversation a bit, it’s best that we go there after dinner, otherwise we’re free now, and I have to catch the train at night.”

Old Li planned to end the meeting with Zhao Qingge's parents early, so that he could spare more time in the evening to chat with Xu Maning and the others.

Zhao Qingge also felt that the time set at [-] o'clock in the afternoon was a bit late, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll ask them if they have time."

……

Although Li Xin and Zhao Haiqi are university leaders and are busy with work on weekdays, they don't have to work overtime every weekend, and they have an important meeting today, so they have specially arranged a whole day of free time.

Under the premise of sufficient time, Li Qiyuan's proposal was approved, so the meeting between the parents of both parties was more than three hours earlier than the original plan at [-] pm.

"Hehe, Pei Feng is right. My future in-laws are indeed young."

"Really? Hearing what you said, I instantly felt a few years younger again, haha~"

"Professor Li, sit down quickly, there are fruits here."

When the two families met for the first time, they greeted each other politely.

Needless to say, Li Xin and Zhao Haiqi are both good at socializing, with impeccable words and deeds. They did not reveal some uncomfortable eyes or condescending words because of the social status gap between the two parties. Instead, they were very enthusiastic and natural.

Li Qiyuan is also transparent and humorous, with every gesture, every word and deed exudes personal charm.

Li Peifeng has always felt that his father is not only a teacher, but also a philosopher, a poet, and maybe half a talk show actor. This old man has some humor genes in his bones, and he also inherited it, so at this time, cooperate with Lao Li and let the conversation The ambiance is up a notch.

The topics ranged from pregnant Yu Huizhi to each other's university and interesting things at work, and then returned to family, talking about Li Peifeng and Zhao Qingge's grandparents and grandparents' generation.

Everyone chatted speculatively, Li Qiyuan and Zhao Haiqi were already familiar with each other by calling each other "brother" and "brother". After half an hour passed without knowing it, Li Qiyuan suddenly slapped his head and said that he almost forgot something.

Then, he picked up the schoolbag he brought from home, opened it and took out a painting tube from it.

"My wife drew it by herself, and she told me to give it to you two before she came here."

Li Xin smiled and waved her hands: "Xiaofeng never comes empty-handed every time, Professor Li, you come and bring something, which makes us..."

"A gentleman puts benevolence in his heart and propriety in his heart. A benevolent man loves others, and a courteous man respects others. Those who love others will always love them, and those who respect others will always respect them."

Zhao Haiqi stretched out his hand to take the scroll, and at the same time tugged at it politely, saying: "Reciprocity is a courtesy, next time it's our turn to return it... Let me see what the painting is about."

"The painting is the scenery of Ningyuan City. She and I both hope that the two of you will have time to visit us."

Zhao Haiqi praised again and again, and slowly unfolded the picture scroll in the painting tube on the coffee table. The size of 81cm×51cm covered half of the coffee table, and everyone could have a clear view.

This is a work depicting the sunrise on the seashore of Ningyuan City. It overlooks the sea from the perspective of Zeshan Mountain in Ningyuan. The forest on the mountain is lush and lush. Not far away, the red sun has just jumped out of the sea level. It is golden and red, burning through half of the sky. , giving people a sense of magnificence of "the sea breeze is dyed with light, and the waves are rough all the time".

Looking at the sea water again, the true blue color and the sunshine of the first day form a gorgeous variety, dreamlike, full of sparkling, sparkling, and the translucent and crystal clear water is vivid, blurred and full of texture, even if it is shot with a camera. Can't get enough of the splendor in the painting.

The ultra-realistic painting style is fresh and clear, and the brushwork is smooth and natural.

Especially the depiction of water is not only real, but also very moving.Yu Huizhi used watercolors to express the light and shadow effects of sea water under different climatic conditions, which is a unique technique.Because the most taboo of watercolor painting is repeated modification and multi-layer coverage of pigments, which makes painting with water quite difficult.

"Huh~"

The three members of the Zhao family were obviously amazed at this time, either out of intention or out of respect.

"My mother's painting skills have improved a lot." Li Peifeng commented this way, Li Qiyuan glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "Your painting is of some help to her."

"Auntie can hold an art exhibition." Zhao Qingge praised, and Zhao Haiqi also nodded in agreement: "It's too precious for my in-laws to worry about. Brother Qiyuan, you must thank her on our behalf. Next summer vacation, we must go to Ningyuan city ​​as a guest."

Li Xin looked at the title of "Sunrise on the Sea" written in the blank space on the upper right corner of the painting, and the three delicate and elegant autographs of Yu Huizhi. She was not only satisfied with the painting, but also admired the author.

As the saying goes, a painting is like a person, and the work largely represents the personality of the artist.

With such a versatile and romantic mother-in-law, Qing Ge will never be troubled by her marriage in the past, and the two families will definitely get along very well in the future!
"I still have to thank you in person. Lao Li, can you give me Huizhi's WeChat, and I can chat with her?"

"Okay." Li Qiyuan readily agreed, and reported the number, so it should be fine for Li Xin to call right now.

At this point, Li Xin went into the bedroom to talk to Yu Huizhi, while Li Qiyuan and Zhao Haiqi continued to chat.

However, no one mentions anything serious, which is the marriage of the two children!

Zhao Haiqi wanted Li Qiyuan, who is the man's parent, to take the initiative to speak up. This is also reasonable. After all, this kind of matter should be mentioned first by the man's parents. If he said it, he would lose his reputation.On the other hand, Zhao Haiqi also felt that by taking the initiative, it was easy for the other party to feel that his old lady was worried about getting married, although in fact she was really worried about getting married.

And Li Qiyuan didn't want to speak out because of multiple reasons such as guilt and avoidance. Originally, Lao Li also wanted to settle Li Peifeng and Zhao Qingge's marriage as soon as possible, so that the remaining three girls would give up. But Xu Maning gave him a call to give up.

These girls are really obsessed with their sons, and they don't want to let go no matter what.Now Li Qiyuan didn't move anymore. Could it be that he really wanted to be his son's accomplice, let Li Peifeng get married, get married, get married, and get divorced, and use this method to indirectly realize his wolfish ambitions?
Then Li Qiyuan would feel that he had failed as a father, so he was inexplicably resistant. Secondly, even when chatting with Zhao Qingge's parents, he always inadvertently thought of the scene of going to Xu's house by himself tomorrow...

It can be said to be quite embarrassing! !

"Finished talking?"

At this time, Zhao Haiqi noticed that Li Xin was walking from the bedroom to the living room with her mobile phone. She nodded and smiled, "Huizhi is beautiful and kind-hearted, you are blessed, old Li."

Li Qiyuan showed the most sincere smile in this meeting: "Indeed, meeting her may have overdrawn my luck in the first half of my life."

So such an uneasy son was born to pay off the debt! !

what are you looking at me for?

Li Peifeng slandered secretly, took Zhao Qingge's little hand and put it in his arms, pinching it covertly.At this time, Zhao Duoduo was uncharacteristically honest, sitting on one side and listening to the conversation between the two families...

"The scenery in this painting, hey, Huizhi's painting is really good!"

Zhao Haiqi stared at the paintings on the coffee table, and said with emotion again: "We must go to Ningyuan City to see it."

Li Xin nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Old Li, do you and Hui Zhi think about coming to the capital to develop?"

"You don't need to quit Liaoyuan University of Technology, you can come here through special appointments. I think there are many first-class universities in the capital that are in short supply of professors specializing in mathematics and philosophy, which makes students dislike this course... like Agricultural University, University of Science and Technology, University of Aviation, etc. Including the economics and trade where I work, I don’t think there is any problem. Still, it is a pity that Huizhi has such superb painting skills, and it is a pity to stay in the engineering school of Liaoyuan University of Technology to teach art... The most important thing is, if you come to the capital , I can get closer to Xiaofeng in the future."

Zhao Haiqi hummed: "The distance between the two families is better."

No need!

Li Peifeng's heart tightened.

And Li Qiyuan understood that this was the husband and wife on the opposite side suggesting to him that as long as he nodded, he and his wife could join those first-class universities as specially-appointed professors to teach, and at the same time retain their positions in Liaoyuan University of Technology. salary.It sounds very tempting, Lao Li has no doubt that they don't have this ability, but he just doesn't want to build a relationship to gain power, let alone find a job for himself, he just wants to lie flat!
"It's fine now, and she's still trying to conceive, so it's unlikely we'll be running back and forth."

Li Qiyuan declined politely, and said politely: "Fengfeng doesn't need us to take care of him, he is about to start a family...Let him go on his own way in the future. When the child grows up, his mother and I can't take care of him, and occasionally we have to pay for it financially. needs his care."

"Get married soon?"

Zhao Haiqi caught this key word in an instant, and smiled lightly: "He hasn't married yet, so he still needs you, a father, to help him for the last time, and how long you're talking about, brother Qiyuan, you might as well Tell me in detail?"

After all, there is no escape from this stubble!

Li Qiyuan sighed in his heart, but smiled on his face: "I consulted them privately on the way before coming here, why don't we just wait for him to finish his work after graduation, what do you think, Brother Haiqi?"

"As I thought."

Zhao Haiqi nodded with satisfaction: "After Xiaofeng graduated, it will be the summer vacation in July. At that time, everyone has time and can hold two. We will hold a relatively small-scale appreciation banquet in the capital, and you will hold a large-scale banquet in Ningyuan City." A large-scale formal ceremony... After all, the relationship between the two children is still a bit special, and it is best not to hold a formal wedding in the capital."

Speaking of this, I stopped talking.

"At that time, let's see what the two children mean. They can do whatever they want, and how many games they want to do."

Li Qiyuan didn't agree clearly, he just said haha.

What's the use of doing a few games?I have to leave in a few days, it's superfluous! !

"Just a real wedding ceremony."

Zhao Qingge suddenly spoke up, and looked at Li Peifeng with serious eyes: "Just hold a wedding, okay?"

Li Peifeng nodded heavily: "Okay, just one show, just with you!"

Just do one with me, and one for each of the other three, right? !

Zhao Qingge could fully hear the implication of Li's words, pursed his lips, and clenched his fists even tighter...
