Wearing a book at eighty, being pampered by a disabled boss

Hearing this, Father Li looked in disbelief. He nodded mechanically, "Xiao Bing will go buy some high-end fruits and come back."

He knew that his future son-in-law's restaurant would open today, so he didn't expect that the Gu family would come to propose marriage today.

When he received the call, he just thought that the matchmaker hired by the Gu family lived nearby, so he stopped by to propose marriage.

After hanging up the phone, he just told his wife and daughter to change clothes, but he did not change clothes.

In their family, ever since his son agreed to the marriage, his wife and daughter had been eagerly waiting for the Gu family to come and propose marriage.

So the mother and daughter prepared various fruits and melon seeds at home. From that day on, the fruit plate at home was never empty.

Sometimes he deliberately eats an extra piece of fruit, and his wife immediately takes out another one to make up for it.

There are three plates of fruit on the big coffee table in the living room, as well as biscuits, melon seeds, and peanuts.

But their family never dreamed that the Gu family would attach so much importance to the marriage proposal, and that so many people would come and make it so grand.

The Si family is not just one of the four great families in the imperial capital. Mr. Si has not completely retired and is still sitting in that high position.

How could such a big shot condescend to come here?

At first, Li's father thought they had gone to the wrong place, but Mr. Si and Mr. Gu walked into their living room side by side, talking and laughing.

Father Li pinched his thigh hard. It hurt so much that he gritted his teeth before letting go. It really wasn't a dream.

The old man of the Xiao family is also here. The medicines produced by the Xiao family pharmaceutical factory can be said to be medicines that are in great demand in major hospitals across the country.

Is that someone the family can get close to?
What's more, there are Mr. Han and Mr. Mu. Although they have been relegated to the second line in the past two years, they still have a lot of say.

If the Gu family boy's restaurant has these big names frequenting it, the restaurant's business will be immeasurable!
When did the Gu family boy become so powerful?

No, let alone the boys from the Gu family, even Mr. Gu wouldn't be able to hire so many big shots!
If he could invite one of them to their home, he would laugh out of his dreams.

Father Li was full of questions, but he was more excited. His whole body was shaking with excitement.

But he also knew that now was not the time to get excited and he had to stay calm.

The only thing he is glad about now is that he did not try his best to stop his daughter from pursuing her.

If he had stopped him forcefully at that time, the Gu family boy would really have been beaten to the punch by others.

His wife and daughter probably won't forgive him. Their accusations are just trivial matters. The main reason is that this marriage may really be ruined.

Thinking of this, Li's father also admired his daughter's courage for actually daring to chase a young man setting up a street vendor.

The power of love is truly immeasurable.

Father Li had an aunt's smile on his face. He admired his daughter's courage at that time, so he didn't forcefully stop her.

As a human being, when you come to this world, you should be brave and act courageously. This is the most basic spirit of being a human being.

Mother Li didn't know these big shots. She was simply surprised that the Gu family invited so many people.

It's good that the Gu family values ​​their daughter so much, and the daughter will have more face.

Seeing Father Li standing at the door with a dumbfounded smile, she quickly pushed him a few times: "Why are you poking at the door? Hurry up and welcome the guests."

After saying that, Mother Li invited everyone to sit down with a smile on her face, "Xiao Gu, these are all your relatives, please invite them to sit down quickly.

There are fruits, melon seeds, and peanuts on the table. You can eat whatever you want without being polite.

Xiaogu's restaurant is opening today. I thought you wouldn't come today, so I wasn't ready. Please forgive me. "

"Auntie, don't be polite. This is already very good. We are too impatient." Brother Gu's voice was loud.

"Hey, sir, please drink tea." Mother Li took the tea from her daughter-in-law and handed it to Mr. Han.Father Li was woken up by his wife, and he immediately took out cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to everyone, "Si...Old...you smoke."

When Mr. Si saw Father Li's trembling look, he said in a gentle tone that he thought was very gentle: "I'm not in good health and I've stopped smoking a long time ago."

Hearing this, Father Li trembled even more. Is Mr. Si blaming himself for his lack of vision?

Gu Jiaojiao had been observing her future second sister-in-law since she entered the house. Seeing that Li Xiulan saw so many big shots coming to their house, she served tea and poured water without being overbearing or humble.

After pouring a round of tea, she sat quietly peeling apples. She occasionally glanced at Brother Gu secretly.

Her little face was full of sweetness and shyness. It seemed that she really liked her second brother.

On the big coffee table, in a white porcelain basin, there were apples that she had peeled, cut into small pieces, and filled with toothpicks.

Seeing that Father Li was at a loss and very reserved, Gu Jiaojiao bent down and picked up the porcelain plate on the coffee table.

Walking up to Si Lao and Grandma Si, "Si Lao, please don't scare my second brother's future father-in-law. You guys eat apples."

"Thank you Jiaojiao." Grandma Si took a toothpick and forked a piece of apple, and said to Mr. Si: "Old man, you can try it too."

Si Lao also forked a small piece of apple, "Jiaojiao, you eat too, and Shuo Ci will take care of the plate. Xiao Li, this is your home, so don't be so reserved."

"Yes... yes... Mr. Si, please eat the apple." Father Li nodded and bowed.

Seeing this, Mr. Si could only roll his eyes like Gu Jiaojiao and shrank his shoulders at his wife.

That means: It’s not that I want to scare him, it’s that he is too timid!
After Su Shuoci listened to Mr. Si's words, he quickly took the porcelain plate from Gu Jiaojiao's hand.

Use your eyes to hint to your daughter-in-law to take it herself, and then pass it to several old men in turn in the direction.

Gu Jiaojiao was holding a small piece of apple in one hand. She had no makeup on her face, and her brows and eyes were full of smiles.

Wearing a plain long windbreaker and flat white sneakers, she held an apple in her hand and ate it in small bites, full of life.

Several old men also bit into the apples in their hands, and Li's father instantly became less nervous.

"Xiaolan, do you have any objections to Gu Er?" After asking, Mr. Li bit the apple in his mouth loudly.

Li Xiulan, who was originally very afraid of this grandpa, saw that he was so down-to-earth, she blushed and said, "I have no objection."

"Gu Er, are you still satisfied with Xiaolan?"

"Grandpa Li, I like her very much." Brother Gu said without any ambiguity.

He didn't know how high Mr. Li's status was, so he was not afraid of Mr. Li at all.

Li Xiulan saw that Brother Gu was calm and calm when facing her serious grandfather.

She admired him even more, and the admiration in her eyes almost overflowed from her eyes.

"Lao Si, Lao Si's family, what do you think?" Mr. Li turned to ask his nephew and his wife.

"As long as the two children like each other, we have no objection. Uncle, please help choose a date to hold the engagement party."

If there weren't so many powerful old men around, Li's father might still be stronger.

At this time, he wished that his daughter would get married tomorrow.

"Then let's do it next Sunday." Mr. Li made the final decision.
