A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 385 Are you still planning to get married?

The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at him, the more she likes him.

For Gao Weicheng, the future son-in-law, Li's mother was more entangled with family life at the beginning, but later she was satisfied with whatever she saw.

If she was dissatisfied, she would not be anxious about their marriage and delay in finalizing it.

Today Gao Weicheng and his eldest sister made an appointment to come to Li Xiang's place for dinner.

After Li's mother got the news, she ordered Li Xiaodi to ride her there.

She had the idea of ​​asking her husband face to face.

Little Brother Li was pedaling very fast, but Mother Li was still not satisfied with this speed.

"Ever since I was given a bicycle, I've been like our groom, being ordered around at will." Little Brother Li couldn't help but complain after being urged by Mother Li again.

"Just laugh if you have a bicycle. Look at your classmates. Some of them have their own cars." Mother Li sat behind and patted him dissatisfied.

Among the eight dishes, there are two meat and two vegetable cold dishes, braised beef, soy sauce pig's trotters, bad edamame, and five-spice dried tofu.

Qiu Fanghua used the last two plates to make up the numbers, one with cut cantaloupe and one with cut mango.

Originally, he was having a hard time with his mother to make her feel sorry for him. It would be better if the pocket money could be increased.

Another stir-fry dish and soup, cooked by Li Xiang himself, are stir-fried lotus root slices and tomato and egg soup.

When it comes to pocket money, Li Xiaodi just pretends to be stupid.

However, now she has more important things waiting for her to solve.

Li Xiang asked everyone to sit down.

"With my skills, I can only make do with some vegetarian dishes. If it doesn't taste good, you can't throw it up in front of me." Li Xiang joked in a good mood.

"Think about it, since I got a car, I have run more errands than before. Sometimes I have to run three or four times a day, and my legs have become thin." Li Xiaodi muttered.

As for Little Brother Li's problem, it won't be too late to solve it when she frees up her hands.

Now that his mother has revealed that he has other ways of making money, he should just pretend to be a good person.

"Oh~ You are so promising. You are settling a small score with me here. Then why don't you tell me whether you suffered any losses from the places you went to." Mother Li patted her again, and then continued: "Don't You think I don’t know how much pocket money your brother and sister and Mr. Hao have missed you.”

Although at this time she was already curious about what this kid was trying to get money for recently.

mia~mia~mia
Everyone watched him chewing with an expressionless expression, waiting for his tasting conclusion.

"Let me have a taste first." Li Xiaodi had never eaten the food cooked by his elder brother, and he was the first to hold out his chopsticks out of curiosity.

In order to entertain guests, Li Xiang and Qiu Fanghua prepared a sumptuous table.

After Li Xiaodi swallowed the lotus root slices in his mouth, he shook his head and sighed.

However, most of them eat outside.

"How's it going?" The eldest sister couldn't help but asked first. She hadn't eaten either.

Seeing that he was pretending to be good, Mother Li did not continue to discuss this topic.

It seemed like a strange combination, but I couldn't get anyone to say, "Wait a minute."

"It's hard to say, just try it yourself."

What he said only aroused the curiosity of the others who had never eaten before.

Li's mother, eldest sister, and Gao Weicheng all held out their chopsticks. Only Li Xiang and Qiu Fanghua looked at each other and smiled, letting Li Xiaodi play tricks.

"What? It just tastes normal." After taking a bite, the elder sister realized that she had been fooled by Little Brother Li.

"You may have been deceived by him one day. This stir-fried lotus root is only seasoned with salt and not fried. How bad can it taste?" Qiu Fanghua saw the disappointed look on her eldest sister's face and was amused by her reaction.

"Okay, I think you are looking for a fight." The eldest sister made a fist gesture towards Little Brother Li.

"I didn't say it tasted bad." Little Brother Li stuffed a piece of mango into his mouth and made a face at his sister.

The elder sister got up and wanted to teach him why the flowers were so red, but little brother Li cleverly found a foreign aid.

"Brother-in-law, look at my sister. She is not friendly to brothers at all. She only bullies me all day long." I have to say that Li Xiaodi is becoming more and more courageous.

Hearing the word "brother-in-law", the corners of Gao Weicheng's mouth almost touched the back of his ears.

He quickly pulled the eldest sister who had stood up to sit down and coaxed: "This is my little brother. What's wrong with him? Why didn't you tell me when he came back? He even brought you food specially the other day."

The eldest sister sat down and snorted towards the younger brother's position.

"You can't praise him for being sensible. If he doesn't pay attention, he will become a monkey again."

The eldest sister's comment made the whole table laugh again.

Li Xiaodi was so thick-skinned that he pretended to be a monkey, which made everyone laugh even more.

Originally, the atmosphere should have been so happy, but Mother Li's question brought the happy atmosphere to an abrupt end.

"Weicheng, aunt, let me ask you a question, are you two still planning to get married?"

Li Xiang couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart after hearing what Li's mother said.

The old mother is coming in a menacing way.

She could have asked more tactfully about their plans for getting married, or she could have asked more directly about when they planned to get married.
But Mother Li didn't, she seemed to come with some determination. If Gao Weicheng's answer didn't satisfy her, Mother Li didn't seem to be able to give up.

"Mom, marriage is their business, and we should respect their ideas." Li Xiang helped ease it.

"I don't want to listen to you, I want to listen to him." Mother Li's attitude was tough.

The eldest sister's hands under the table were clenched tightly. She should have guessed the purpose of her mother's visit.

Gao Weicheng didn't look panicked by Mother Li's hasty question.

He took the hand of the eldest girl under the table and held it tightly.

Then he answered Mother Li's question calmly: "Auntie, I know you have always had a strong opinion about the delay in marriage. I can answer you sincerely. I have never thought about marrying anyone other than Li Xia. I'm not afraid of you scolding me. When I first saw her, I couldn't let go of anyone else. I've been looking forward to her for so many years, and I've been thinking about getting married for so many years. Logically speaking, I'm the one who should be the most anxious to get married. , but I am more willing to respect Li Xia's own wishes. If she doesn't want to get married for the time being, then we won't get married. When she wants to get married someday, we can go get the certificate on the same day."

Gao Weicheng's words were sincere. After he finished speaking, the women at the table all looked moved, and they were all moved by his declaration.

In contrast to Qiu Fanghua and Li's mother who were moved and a little surprised, the eldest sister's eyes were filled with tears.

Little Brother Li glanced at his eldest sister in confusion, then shrugged helplessly. It's really strange for a woman to be moved so easily.

Compared with the worry at first, Li Xiang calmly picked up a piece of pig's trotter and gnawed it.

Men know men best. How could he not understand Gao Weicheng's move of retreating in order to advance.

From the moment Gao Weicheng was only halfway through speaking, the eldest sister started to cry.

Li Xiang knew that the phobia of marriage was probably cured.
