Reborn in the red age

Chapter 180 Qingfeng Li was urged to marry

The Hu family's sister-in-law wanted to chat more with Qingfeng Li, but she couldn't disobey her mother-in-law, so she reluctantly headed to the kitchen.

After the Hu family's sister-in-law left, Li Qingfeng said apologetically to Mother Hu: "Auntie, I'm really sorry. I've been back to China for half a year, and this is the first time I've come to see you. I'm really ashamed."

"It's okay. I heard what Jiabao said about you. You are busy with work. Uncle Hu and I are also busy at work. You are still young. You have just graduated and are busy with your own careers. It doesn't matter whether you come to see us or not." Hu My mother regarded Qingfeng Li as a mother-in-law and a son-in-law. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. She didn't care at all that Qingfeng Li didn't come to visit him when he returned home.

"Uncle, auntie, when I was shopping in Xiangjiang, I saw a ladies' watch. I thought it would suit you two very well, so I bought a few and brought them back. You can see if they suit your liking."

Qingfeng Li said as he opened the backpack he carried with him and took out several gift boxes. They were all Longines watches purchased from Xiangjiang, both men and women. Before coming here, he didn't know what to give to the Hu family, so he simply bought them for one person. A watch as a gift.

Seeing the gift box that Qingfeng Li took out, Mother Hu pretended to be angry: "Oh, we are all a family. Qingfeng, what else do you want to bring when you come to the house? Things in Xiangjiang require foreign exchange, and expensive items like Longines watches, too It’s a waste of money”

Father Hu, who was sitting silently on the sofa beside him, opened his mouth when he heard what his wife said. He wanted to think about how could anyone be so arrogant? Their parents had never met, so how could they become a family? However, seeing his wife's happy look, Hu's father still kept his mouth shut.

In the kitchen, there was a gap in the door. The Hu family's sister-in-law was heating the food and listening to the conversation outside. When she heard that Qingfeng Li had brought a gift, she immediately beamed and wanted to put down what she was doing and go out to have a look.

Hu Jiadong, who was also busy in the kitchen next to him, knew what his wife was going to do as soon as he saw her expression. He quickly grabbed his wife's arm and glared at her to prevent her from going out to cause trouble.

Seeing that her husband was angry, the Hu family's sister-in-law curled her lips and did not go out to interfere. She continued to work on the stove honestly.

The task of reheating food was very fast. In a short time, the Hu family's wife and her husband had heated up all the cold food, brought the food out, and greeted everyone to eat.

When Hu Jiabao got up and went to the dining table, Hu Jiabao gently pulled the corner of Qingfeng Li's clothes, looked at his parents' backs and winked at Qingfeng Li.

"What do you mean? Don't you understand?"

Qingfeng Li had not spoken seriously to Hu Jiabao since he got off the train. He was not a mind reader, so he had no idea what this look meant.

Hu Jiabao opened his mouth and was about to say something. At this time, Hu's mother turned around and asked Li Qingfeng to sit down. When Hu's mother turned around and looked at him, Hu Jiabao closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Although he didn't understand what Hu Jiabao wanted to say to him, but now was not the time to ask, Qingfeng Li smiled and followed Hu's mother's arrangement and sat down.

At the dinner table, Hu's mother and the Hu family's sister-in-law kept picking up vegetables for Qingfeng Li. The food in Qingfeng Li's bowl was piled high, and most of the meat and vegetables on the table went into Qingfeng Li's rice bowl.

After the meal was almost done, Li Qingfeng noticed that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit strange. Hu's mother kept making subtle glances at Hu's father, and Hu's father also looked at Qingfeng Li with a hesitant expression.

When Qingfeng Li saw this, he understood that something must have happened tonight. Hu Jiabao's little girl just wanted to warn him.

After having a drink with Hu Jiadong, Li Qingfeng secretly glanced at Hu Jiabao next to him. Seeing Hu Jiabao's head lowered and his face flushed, he probably understood what the Hu family wanted to say to him.

Li Qingfeng had already graduated from his bachelor's degree, and Hu Jiabao was interning in the hospital and was about to graduate. It was just a matter of urging them to get married.

Hu Jiabao is now starting an internship, which is basically the same as joining the workforce. What's more, there is no rule in China that college students cannot get married, so it is understandable for Hu's mother to urge the marriage.

Li Qingfeng has no resistance to the matter of getting married, and is mentally prepared for his own marriage. These days, any relationship that is not for the purpose of marriage is just a hooligan. Dare you say that you just want to fall in love and don't want to try to get married? The woman's family can break the legs of anyone who says such things.

When Mother Hu saw that her husband was silent, she simply spoke directly and looked at Qingfeng Li with a smile: "Hey, by the way, Qingfeng, I remember that you are one year older than Jiabao, so you are twenty-five years old, right? "

"Yes, Auntie, you have such a good memory. My birthday is in March, so it will be the 25th after the Chinese New Year," Li Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Twenty-five is not that young anymore. Jiabao will be twenty-four after the Chinese New Year. Now he has started an internship and will soon graduate and start working. Auntie will retire from the hospital in less than two years."

"It doesn't matter if you are retired, the work in the hospital is quite tiring. After retirement, you can also take good care of your body at home."

"Auntie is very busy in her life. How can she enjoy any happiness? Jiabao will graduate in a few months. When auntie retires in two years, she will be able to help you take care of your children."

Okay, here comes the topic. It seems that Hu’s mother already has an idea in her mind, and even the child has expressed it. Qingfeng Li put down his wine glass, straightened his expression, and prepared to deal with Mother Hu's next push for marriage.

Hu Jiabao, who had always lowered his head and was too embarrassed to raise his head to deal with the food on his plate, could not help but raise his head when discussing about getting married and having children, and said shyly: "Mom, what are you talking about? Speaking of having children, isn’t it too soon? I haven’t graduated yet.”

"What's there to be ashamed of? Men should get married when they're old, and women should get married when they're old. It's human nature to get married and have children. When I was your age, I was already pregnant with your eldest brother." After talking about Hu Jiabao, Mother Hu looked at Hu Jiabao again. Li Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, you happen to be here. Auntie wants to ask you. You and Jiabao have been dating for several years. You also graduated this year. What are your thoughts now? When are you planning to get married?"

The entire Hu family focused on Qingfeng Li's face, and even Hu Jiabao secretly glanced at Qingfeng Li.

Facing the gazes of their family, Li Qingfeng quickly expressed his position: "Auntie, of course I want to marry Jiabao home as soon as possible. I have no objection. As long as Jiabao is willing, we can go and get the certificate at any time."

Just after Qingfeng Li said these words, a burst of warmth came from his hand placed under the table, and a small hand with delicate skin and boneless bones was placed on his hand.

You don't need to think twice to know who this little hand belongs to. Li Qingfeng did not look at her, but gently squeezed Hu Jiabao's little hand as a response.

With Qingfeng Li's statement, the atmosphere in the room relaxed. Hu's mother's face lit up with joy, and Hu's sister-in-law clapped her hands happily. Only Hu's father didn't look good, and he drank from his wine glass glumly. of osmanthus wine.

Then the conversation at the dinner table changed direction and started talking about the parents meeting to discuss marriage.

Because there is a saying that no one is married in the twelfth lunar month and no one is getting married in the first lunar month, the Hu family set a date for their parents to meet after the first lunar month. Then, depending on the time of the Li family's parents, both parties took time to meet and talk things over. explain.

After the discussion was over, Father Hu, who was drinking alone, was really drunk. He was helped by Qingfeng Li and Hu Jiadong back to the bedroom and lay down on the bed. Helping Hu's father to take off his shoes and cover him with the quilt, Li Qingfeng shook his head speechlessly. This future father-in-law's drinking capacity is worrying. He can drink a lot of drinks with an alcohol content of only four degrees. With such a small amount of alcohol, no wonder his skills are so good. , I have been in the hospital for so many years, but I have not become a leader.

In the evening, the Hu family's sister-in-law wanted to drag Qingfeng Li to continue chatting, but Hu's mother drove her away.

Tonight, Qingfeng Li still slept in the same guest room he stayed in last time. Late at night, Hu Jiabao sneaked in like last time.

As soon as Hu Jiabao, who was wearing pajamas, came in, he immediately took off his shoes, got into the bed left by Qingfeng Li, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, and looked at him with big eyes.

Qingfeng Li pinched Hu Jiabao's face and said with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Hu Jiabao didn't say anything, just looked at him without blinking. When Qingfeng Li wanted to say something else, the girl pounced on him.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

"Don't take off my clothes, they're still at your house."

"No, oh, if you do this again, I will yell."

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. At one or two o'clock in the morning, Hu Jiabao got dressed, quietly opened the door and walked out again.

After Hu Jiabao went out, Li Qingfeng, who was lying shirtless on the bed, looked at the roof with dull eyes, looking pitiful, weak and helpless.

The next morning, Qingfeng Li was woken up by Hu Jiabao. After briefly washing himself with the toiletries Hu Jiabao had prepared for him, he had breakfast with the Hu family's parents.

In order to take care of the taste of Li Qingfeng, a northerner, Hu's mother did not eat Soviet-style breakfast such as wontons and thin noodles for breakfast. Instead, she specially cooked white porridge and steamed steamed buns.

After breakfast, when Hu's father and Hu's mother were getting ready to go to work, Hu's mother said to Li Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, today is the 27th. We have a temple fair here, which is quite lively. After breakfast later, let Jiabao accompany him. You go to the temple fair together and stay at home for one more day. It won’t be too late to go back tomorrow.”

"Okay, Auntie, you and your uncle can just go to work. We will go to the temple fair later."

The old couple of the Hu family were sent away with a smile. After the door of the Hu family was closed, Qingfeng Li turned to look at Hu Jiabao fiercely: "Comrade Xiao Hu, are we going to settle the accounts from last night today? "

Li Qingfeng was worried about being overheard by Hu's mother last night. It can be said that Li Qingfeng suffered a lot of humiliation. There was no one in the Hu family during the day. The place he lost yesterday must be regained today no matter what.

Thinking of his boldness last night, Hu Jiabao's face turned red, he quickly avoided Qingfeng Li's gaze, yawned, pretended not to wake up, rubbed his eyes, and said sleepily: "Oh, I got up in the morning. It’s too early. I have to go back and catch up on my sleep. Don’t disturb my rest.”

With that said, Hu Jiabao hurriedly ran to his room.

How could Qingfeng Li let her go at this time? He rushed forward, and when Hu Jiabao closed the door, he held on to the door that was about to close. He dodged into Hu Jiabao's bedroom and pressed Hu Jiabao against the wall. superior.

Hu Jiabao was too embarrassed to look at Qingfeng Li, so he turned around and whispered with a blushing face, "What are you doing at my house in broad daylight?"

"Why do these words sound so familiar? Did I say it last night?" Li Qingfeng looked at Hu Jiabao with a half-smile.

Hu Jiabao's face turned red now, reaching the roots of his ears. He closed his eyes tightly, not daring to open his eyes to look at Qingfeng Li's face so close to him.

"Oh, Comrade Hu, why did you close your eyes? Wasn't it very bold last night? It's only been a few hours, why have you turned into a quail?" Li Qingfeng started to unbutton Hu Jiabao's clothes while talking. .

Facing Li Qingfeng's hand on his chest, Hu Jiabao didn't resist. He just closed his eyes and bit his lip, looking like he was letting him take his pick.

When Li Qingfeng unbuttoned Hu Jiabao's coat, Hu Jiabao still didn't open his eyes.

Qingfeng Li smiled when he saw this, took out a coat from the closet, put it on Hu Jiabao, smiled and pinched Hu Jiabao's round face: "Hey, open your eyes, my mother-in-law asked you to take me shopping It’s the temple fair, I’ve put on your clothes for you, why are you still closing your eyes?”

The Hu family was on the second floor, and the windows faced the courtyard. There were many old men and old ladies outside carrying stools to bask in the sun after breakfast.

It is estimated that everyone in the whole courtyard will know that the future uncle of the Hu family is coming to the door today. If the curtains are closed at this time, it may be spread to others. For the sake of the reputation of the Hu family, Li Qingfeng did not dare to act recklessly, but simply teased After Hu Jiabao said something, he let go of Hu Jiabao.

The two of them got dressed, pushed the door open and walked out together. Along the way, people coming and going would look at Qingfeng Li curiously. Many young people passing by looked at Qingfeng Li in a very strange way, as if they were different from Li Qingfeng. Qingfeng had the same hatred for seizing his wife, with a look in his eyes that he wished he could kill Qingfeng Li and replace her.

Li Qingfeng completely ignored this look and looked around the courtyard with vague eyes, looking for the figure of Aunt Qian from last time. He also wanted to chat with her very outstanding nephew who graduated from the National People's University.

Qingfeng Li felt a little regretful when he couldn't find Aunt Qian along the way.

Instead of riding bicycles, the two of them went out and got on a bus at the bus station. They looked at the scenery along the way out the window and headed to the temple fair.

The temple fairs these days are still very lively. Not long after the reform and opening up, the old batch of craftsmen are still there. The temple fairs in Suzhou have given Li Qingfeng a lot of experience.

At the temple fair, there was an old man who came from Sichuan Province and had the unique skill of changing his face. He did not wear a big cloak and a big hat like later generations, but just a black tights and a black cloth tied on his forehead. He showed his face at the temple fair. Everyone performs a face change.

Qingfeng Li was so curious about this that he stood directly opposite the opponent less than one meter away, watching the opponent's performance with wide eyes.
