The happy life of the landlady

Chapter 334 Old Xu's True Intention (2)

"I've searched all over the capital, and I can't find another little girl who is smarter, more beautiful and cute than our Xiaojuan."

When talking about this, Elder Xu glared at Xu Lijuan: "As the little princess of the Xu family, she enjoys so many advantages, why should she talk like other people, keep her hands on things, and use the word 'modest' as an excuse. These people How do you know that if they tell the truth, others won't believe it? It's just that they don't have self-confidence, so they listen to what others say, and watch others take credit for themselves, stepping on their shoulders all the way to the sky, and then they I regret it in private, but I never thought of exposing all this from the beginning to the end. This kind of person should be deceived by others, and he is not worthy of anyone's sympathy!"

In the end, Mr. Xu didn't forget to drag Mr. Fu into the water: "If you don't believe me, ask your grandpa Fu and see what he says."

"Yeah." Fu Lao put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Old man Xu, Xiaojuan is not those stupid people, how could she not understand this."

"Xiaojuan, tell me, is this the reason?"

The last sentence, Mr. Fu always said to Xu Lijuan. Other people may simply think that Mr. Xu is just making use of the topic and has no other meaning. However, for Xu Lijuan who often tells Mr. Xu stories, these The words are related to a story that Mr. Xu once told.

Back then, Mr. Xu also said these words to his friend, but unfortunately the other party didn't listen.Therefore, later on, Xu Lao was able to rise all the way, but his friend passed away early in the entanglement of emotions such as annoyance and regret, leaving only a poor pair of orphans and widows to depend on each other.Even with the support of old friends such as Mr. Xu, life is difficult because that person uses such ideas to educate his younger generation.

Such a person is even a typical "Holy Father" to use the popular Internet term ten years later!
Xu Lijuan thought about it for a while, and immediately understood that when the New Year's Day approached, Mr. Xu would inevitably think of this matter again, so she said these words intentionally or unintentionally. She just wanted to use these words to tell Xu Lijuan something like this— — This kind of adou who can't afford it, doesn't need to prepare expensive gifts, lest the other party's family will sell them cheaply and use the money to do so-called "good deeds".

"Grandpa, I'll take care of things, don't worry." Xu Lijuan rolled her eyes, thinking with a smile that the items in her hands that looked very expensive at first glance, but in fact couldn't be sold at a high price, finally had a place to use.

There was a gleam in Xu Lao's eyes, and he looked at Xu Lijuan with satisfaction: "Okay, our Xiaojuan is smart, grandpa is waiting for your good news."

After saying that, Mr. Xu gave Mr. Fu a smug little look, but he didn't directly say that Mr. Fu and Fu Jianbai burned so many pillars of high incense and worshiped so many famous temples in their previous lives before they could find Xu Lijuan in this life. This unique little girl in heaven and earth will be her granddaughter-in-law (daughter-in-law)!

Old Fu smiled until his eyes narrowed into a line, and the little person in his heart danced happily, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face, in order to avoid accidentally angering Old Xu again.

From the corner of Xu's eyes, he noticed that Fu Jianbai was already cleaning the kitchen, so he waved to Xu Lijuan and said, "Xiaojuan, go back to your room to sort out the materials first."

Xu Lijuan nodded, and obediently agreed: "Okay, Grandpa, I'll take it down and show it to you after it's sorted out."

"En." Xu Lao was waiting for this sentence, and nodded with a smile.

After Xu Lijuan's figure disappeared from sight, Old Xu and Old Fu looked at each other, with a meaningful smile on their faces.

Ding Dong, who was lying on the sofa pretending to be asleep, saw all of this, a sly smile appeared on his fluffy face, and he looked at Fu Jianbai who was still busy in the kitchen with gleeful eyes.

So, when Fu Jianbai walked into the living room with the specially prepared sugar water and snacks, he was depressed to find that Xu Lijuan, who had been waiting in the living room before, was nowhere to be seen, and Mr. Xu and Mr. Fu were still looking at him deeply. !
Fu Jianbai frowned slightly, and when he was about to ask aloud, he saw Mr. Xu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Hey, Xiaobai, didn't Xiaojuan tell you that I don't like drinking sugar water?"

After a pause, Mr. Xu still didn't forget to add: "Or, you prepared this bowl of sugar water specially for Old Man Fu?"

"I said, Xiaobai, it's not right for you to do this. After all, this is Xu's family, not your Fu's family, so you can't do what you want. In addition, the economy is developing, the times are advancing, and the purchasing power of money is also slowly increasing. Smaller, a family as big as ours must always remember to increase revenue and reduce expenditure..."

"Mr. Xu, I have a good solution that will allow you to settle this matter once and for all." Mr. Fu picked up his teacup and took a sip of water. He didn't look angry at all when he was stimulated by Mr. Xu's words, but secretly Rubbing and thinking: old man Xu, old man Xu, you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder, let's see who of us will be better!

Based on what Mr. Xu knew about Mr. Fu, how could he not know what Mr. Fu meant, so he glared at Mr. Fu fiercely and shouted loudly: "I don't want to hear it!"

"If you don't listen, I'll tell you." Elder Fu said with a smile, "As long as you agree to let Xiaojuan and Xiaobai get engaged, then Xiaobai will be able to shoulder the important task of supporting the family."

On one side is a good brother who has been with him for many years, and on the other side is his own grandson who grew up with shit and urine, and shoulders the responsibility of maintaining the future of the whole family. You can know which side Fu Laohui is partial to with his knees.

Mr. Xu, who had been prepared for a long time, was not irritated, but after thinking about it pretendingly, he nodded with a smile and said: "... There is some truth to this."

Fu Jianbai was overjoyed, and a touch of excitement and agitation appeared on that paralyzed face that seldom showed unnecessary emotions.

Only Mr. Fu, who knows Mr. Xu's nature, glanced at Fu Jianbai who was showing his emotions lightly, drinking tea and eating snacks with a calm face, but secretly thought: Mr. Xu has worked so hard for so long to be able to do it under him. It's normal to be so proud of winning once by deliberately letting go of the water.Anyway, no matter what, Mr. Xu can't go back on his word, it's just an act of unwillingness to jump around. If Fu Jianbai can't pass this test smoothly, it will be in vain for the Fu family.

Sure enough, at this moment, Mr. Xu suddenly added with a smile: "It's just that Xiaobai's surname is not Xu after all. If outsiders find out, those who understand will laugh it off and don't think too much about it, but those who don't understand will just laugh at it." Will gossip outside."

"..." So, the implication of Mr. Xu is that he wants him to be his son-in-law?
Fu Jianbai turned his mind a few times, looked at Mr. Fu, but found that Mr. Fu seemed to have not heard the meaning behind Mr. Xu's words, and his face was still calm.

However, just as Mr. Fu knew Fu Jianbai, Fu Jianbai also knew Mr. Fu very well. At this moment, Fu Jianbai immediately understood that Mr. Fu was using silent actions to show that he didn't care.Or should I put it this way, with the relationship between Mr. Xu and Mr. Fu, even if he agreed, Mr. Xu would not dare to accept it.

When this idea came to his mind, Fu Jianbai also solemnly promised: "Grandpa Xu, I am very willing to call you Grandpa directly."

Old Xu: "..." This is what he said just now, and he just said it casually, and he didn't dare to promise at all?
The smug smile on Mr. Xu's face disappeared, replaced by a slight annoyance: "I have five grandchildren, and there is no shortage of people to call me grandpa." "

If he gave up at this point, he would not be the shameless Fu Jianbai who was recognized by Xu Lao and others as the shameless person hiding under that upright face.

So, Fu Jianbo said again: "But, grandpa, they are not me, and I will never become them."

After saying this sentence, which was similar to a tongue twister, before Mr. Xu could react, Fu Jianbai said bluntly: "Grandpa, Xiaojuan and I made an appointment to go to the suburbs of Beijing today. It's too late, let everyone worry."

What you've been waiting for!

Mr. Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he didn't hear the meaning behind Fu Jianbai's words, and said with a smile: "Oh, this year Xiaojuan's uncle and second uncle will return to Beijing for the New Year, so Xiaojuan is rearranging the things that need to be sent out. Gift, I can't take you to the suburbs for a while, let's talk about it later!"

Fu Jianbai didn't seem to understand the meaning of rejection in Xu Lao's words, and said solemnly: "It's okay, I can help."

Mr. Xu waved his hand and said, "This is a test for Xiaojuan, and none of us, including ourselves, can help."

Fu Jianbai pursed his lips and insisted: "Grandpa, I don't understand these things either. Asking me to help is just adding to the confusion. However, I, a rough man, have a lot of strength and can help Xiaojuan carry those heavy objects."

"No need, our little five has been idle for long enough, it's time to exercise, so as not to get fatter and fatter..." More and more stupid.

When talking about this, Mr. Xu looked at Fu Jianbai meaningfully, and added: "Besides, your grandpa is sitting here, don't call the wrong person."

"It's said that a son-in-law is half the height. I'm your grandson-in-law, and I'm also your half-grandson. I should call you grandpa." In any case, Fu Jianbai, who sensed Xu's intentions and couldn't stop him, didn't intend to suffer. , trying every means to get the name settled.

Mr. Xu glared at Fu Jianbai with displeasure on his face. The resoluteness and sharp murderous aura trained in his military career for many years rushed straight to Fu Jianbai who was standing under him.

If Xu is always gusts of wind, then Fu Jianbai is a pine and cypress that is not afraid of the cold wind; if Xu is always angry, then Fu Jianbai is an experienced and capable hand; Burning fire, then, Fu Jianbai is the roc who spreads his wide wings and easily flies over the infinite flaming mountains.
