The happy life of the landlady

Chapter 418 Discussing Engagement Matters
Even Gu Wanwan, who is well-known in the whole circle and is often talked about by Gu Lao, did not realize her future life goal when she was 18 years old.And Xu Lijuan, who has been living in her own world for the first 18 years, and was calculated by people like Lin Haocang and Sun Manxue who had no way to hide her scheming and maliciousness, was almost reduced to a joke in the whole circle. Such a heaven-defying change in a short period of time? !

Such a huge change, let alone a girl, even if it happened to a boy who has always been outstanding, it will inevitably make people give birth to "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves before the waves die in the past." "on the beach" sighed at the same time, but also had to sigh "this kind of evildoer who doesn't necessarily appear once in thousands of years, why wasn't he born in his own family?"!
At this time, I have to say that Mr. Xu and Mr. Fu are indeed good brothers for many years. Even if Mr. Fu rolled his eyes, Mr. Xu immediately understood what Mr. Fu was thinking, so he raised his chin slightly, with a kind of arrogance. In a calm tone, he said: "What your bastard didn't do back then doesn't mean my Xiaojuan can't do it!"

"..." Don't bring up the old score again and again, and then stab the knife hard!
Fu Laojian wiped his face with difficulty, even though his heart was extremely sour, he still had to reluctantly argue for Fu Jianbai: "My kid was enlightened at the age of three, learned martial arts at the age of five, and at the age of ten he made up his mind to work hard for it all his life." ideal..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Fu couldn't help but see the scene of Fu Jianbai's hard work of "practicing in the summer and practicing in winter". , Sadness, pity and pride emerged in my heart again: "Let me tell you, old man Xu, if my boy returns to Beijing this time, there is an [-]% chance that he will be promoted to another level."

"What?!" Xu Lao, who was holding a teacup and was about to drink water to moisten his throat, trembled, and the full tea splashed out.However, at this moment, Mr. Xu couldn't care less about the tabletop being splashed with water, and his favorite gray dark-pattern carpet on the floor was getting wet, and there was a risk of being destroyed directly, so he just stared round. With eyes full of surprise and disbelief, he asked, "Old Man Fu, is this true?"

"When did I tell a lie?!" Mr. Fu glared at Mr. Xu, and said coolly, "Don't tell me, you don't know about it."

"I've heard of it, but, isn't this still a preliminary proposal, and it hasn't been approved by the higher-ups yet!" Mr. Xu laughed, lowered his head and took a sip of water before casually wiping off the water on the table with a rag. "I didn't expect that you didn't do a good job yourself, but you taught a good grandson!"

The words were full of envy, jealousy and hatred, but Mr. Fu deliberately raised his head and squinted at Mr. Xu with his small complacent eyes. He was not afraid of angering Mr. Xu, and said, "This is the so-called essence!"

This "essence" not only means that although Fu Jianbai is the only one in the next generation of the Fu family, this person alone is worth the five brothers of the Xu family. This time, I can finally pay back the aggrieved matter!

"Cut!" Mr. Xu rolled his eyes, didn't say a word, but thought secretly in his heart: No matter how powerful Fu Jianbai is, so what, isn't it in Xu Lijuan's hands!
and many more……

Mr. Xu finally caught the trace of something wrong that he had ignored just now, stared at Mr. Fu in a hurry, and asked in a cold voice: "So, what do you want?" Meow, if you dare to say those two words , labor and capital...

It's a pity that Mr. Fu didn't know what Mr. Xu was thinking. Of course, even if he knew, he would have no choice but to speak out under such circumstances.

"Old man Xu, the two children, Xiaojuan and Abo, have been together for almost two years, or, after the year, when Abo returns to Beijing to visit relatives, let's make an appointment for their marriage? "

Although it was a question, but the tone was affirmative, which only made Mr. Xu stand up again: "Who is we with you? Also, to correct it, my Xiaojuan and your bastard have only been together for one year!"

"No, less than a year!"

Mr. Fu was not affected by the coldness and murderous intent of Mr. Xu, he just added a cup of tea for himself slowly, took a sip, and then said: "Old man Xu, Abo and Xiaojuan are real childhood sweethearts. For so many years, in the past, let alone getting engaged, the two even got married, and the baby ran around all over the place, okay?!"

"You know, that was before!" Xu Lao sat down angrily, and after drinking the remaining tea in the cup, he felt that the resentment and other emotions that had been lingering in his chest had subsided a little, "What is the era now? , It’s long been out of fashion for you to say that you get to know each other through the introduction of a matchmaker, and you settle down after meeting each other a few times, and then you get married in three to five months.”

After a pause, Mr. Xu still didn't forget to add: "Isn't the 'eight-year war of resistance' popular now? We have worked so hard to raise Xiaojuan to such an age, and we haven't enjoyed Xiaojuan's filial piety for a few days. If we want to watch Xiaojuan marry into your family, do you think we will be willing? If you are in a different position, what would you do?"

"..." If it were me, I would definitely beat up the kid who dared to snatch my granddaughter, and then threaten him with harsh words. Finally, I would arrange that kid to go to a place far away, and no matter where he went every day Bring your own granddaughter...

Mr. Fu wiped his face with difficulty again, and persuaded without giving up: "Based on the friendship between our two families, even if Xiaojuan married into our family, she can still come back to see you every few days. You really miss her, and you can live in my house for three to five months."

"What's more, you don't think until now that since Xiaojuan has promised to do her best to help the country, those people will let Xiaojuan go, right?" And those who framed others, even with the current status and power of the Xu family and the Fu family, boasted that they could definitely protect Xu Lijuan under their own wings and prevent Xu Lijuan from even the slightest harm. Standing under the dangerous wall", how can they, as elders, watch their beloved children fall into the trap of those caring people? !

How could Mr. Xu not understand the meaning behind what Mr. Fu said?What's more, even if everyone in the circle knows that Fu Jianbai and Xu Lijuan are in a relationship, as long as they don't get engaged for a day, there will be many unexpected variables in this already settled matter. The Gu family was dismissed, but Gu Wanwan was still living in the world.

In this world, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the most important thing that cannot be underestimated is a woman's desire for revenge.Especially those women who "love deeply, hate deeply", and are resourceful and courageous, are even more unpredictable and terrifying!
"This..." Mr. Xu pondered for a long time, but finally he raised his head and said, "I have to talk to Xiaojuan, let's see what Xiaojuan thinks."

Regarding this point, Mr. Fu, who had expected this for a long time, said that he was not worried at all, but, in fact, from the depressed emotion on his face, one could guess that he was not feeling well.

——This kind of way of staying with Old Man Xu for a long time, and seeing Old Man Xu, the "granddaughter control" breaking the lower limit again and again, is almost unbearable!
...It doesn't matter, I have endured it for so long, and in the end, at such a critical moment, I can't lose the chain.Big deal, when Xu Lijuan gives birth to her lovely little great-granddaughter and little great-grandson, she will show off in front of old man Xu...

So, that night, after the Xu family had dinner, Mr. Xu focused on telling Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi about Mr. Fu's intentions today. Smiling, but a ray of reluctance and other tangled emotions slipped across his eyes.

However, Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi were not ordinary people after all, and soon they figured out the intentions of Mr. Xu and Mr. Fu.

Therefore, when Xu Lijuan cleaned the kitchen and walked into the living room, what greeted her was a row of burning eyes mixed with a touch of anticipation and hope.

Xu Lijuan brought up the prepared fruit plate, made a cup of fruit flower tea for Mr. Xu, Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi, then blinked her beautiful phoenix eyes, and asked with a puzzled face: "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, who are you?"

"Xiaojuan, that bastard is going back to Beijing to visit relatives this year?"

Every time, Mr. Xu used the three words "a bastard" to describe Fu Jianbai, which meant that Mr. Xu was full of restlessness and resentment, but he couldn't vent it due to various reasons, so he could only live alone.In the past, Xu Lijuan didn't know this, but after a long time, Xu Lijuan immediately understood, so she went to sit next to Xu Lao, lightly shook Xu Lao's arm, and said softly: "Grandpa, Some time ago, Brother Fu seemed to have mentioned it to me, but because he was not sure whether he could apply, so I didn't tell you."

"Hmph!" Xu Lao struggled, and when he found that he couldn't break free, in order to avoid hurting Xu Lijuan, he could only let Xu Lijuan continue to hold his arm, but he deliberately gave Xu Lijuan a sideways look, then turned his head away, A look of "I'm very angry, don't hurry up to comfort me".

"Grandpa, I'm sorry. In the future, if I get any news, no matter how likely it is, I will be the first to tell you..." Xu Lijuan said a long list of good things and made many promises. When her mouth was about to wear out, Finally, Xu Lao gave him a look of "forgive you for now".

"Today, old man Fu said that he planned to hold your engagement while that bastard went home to visit relatives."

"Ah?!" Xu Lijuan was stunned, "Brother Fu didn't tell me..."

Seeing this, Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi, who were secretly sulking on the side because Mr. Xu was talking to Xu Lijuan and couldn't intervene at will, looked at each other, and the resentment that had just surfaced in their hearts lessened a bit again.

Even the depression and other emotions in Mr. Xu's heart disappeared, and instead, he became more and more dissatisfied with Mr. Fu and Fu Jianbai: Co-authoring, these grandparents and grandsons did it on purpose, knowing that a big family like them, even if it is It's not that simple to hold an engagement wedding, but I deliberately made it clear when the Chinese New Year is approaching. This, isn't it a real increase in everyone's workload!
While turning these thoughts in his mind, Mr. Xu asked unhurriedly: "Xiaojuan, I just want to hear your thoughts now?"

Xu Lijuan lowered her eyes and thought about it. In fact, even if Mr. Xu didn't mention it, Xu Lijuan understood why Mr. Fu suddenly mentioned engagement at this time. The task came, so that everyone imagined that he would have to stay in the Z Special Forces for at least three to five years before he could be promoted. When faced with his behavior of not taking meritorious service seriously and working hard, he could only sideline. Secretly spitting blood and cursing Fu Jianbai, this monster is really born to test the fragile hearts of these old people, and at the same time put on a sympathetic gesture on his face, even if those dark places in his heart wish to kill Fu Jianbai have been working hard to make peace Fu Jianbai's enemies are no exception.

Along with the change of Fu Jianbai's military rank, it brings about a change in his position. In addition, he is 28 years old this year, so his marriage can no longer be excused by tasks and so on as usual, and it will smoothly enter everyone's life. In sight.In the eyes of these old people, the phrase "male colleges should be married, female colleges should be married", on the other hand, it also represents whether a man and a woman have matured, and are no longer as uncertain as young people. Because of this, they will consider entrusting some major tasks to them.

Regardless of past life or present life, Xu Lijuan has no objection to getting married sooner or later.Or, it can be said that in the past life, Xu Lijuan, who was infatuated with Lin Haocang, and Xu Lijuan, who entrusted her heart to Fu Jianbai in this life, have long been looking forward to the early arrival of the day when they get married.Only in this way can it be logical to put my own mark on Fu Jianbai and declare to the world that Fu Jianbai belongs to her.If there are still people who dare to miss Fu Jianbai in private and take action for it, then what awaits will be her terrible revenge!

However, if Xu Lijuan in her previous life wanted to get married earlier because she wanted to settle down with Lin Haocang earlier, so as to prevent Lin Haocang from continuing to get entangled with Sun Manxue, Lu Xueyao, Zheng Chudie and others, then in this life, she wants to marry earlier For Fu Jianbai, not only does she think that she is mature enough in her heart to definitely take on the responsibilities due to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fu family and the daughter of the Xu family, but also because she, who has been A Piao for decades, has grown closer to Fu Jianbai. When things get better and better, from time to time, if she is pregnant, the child born will look like Fu Jianbai, or her own thoughts...

Of course, Xu Lijuan will only chat with Yu Jiayi, her best friend, about these private psychological thoughts. Whether it is Fu Jianbai, or the elders of the Xu family, including Du Mengqi, her biological mother, Xu Lijuan is also embarrassed to reveal one or two, so as not to expose everyone. The idea that she had hated marriage for a long time.

Therefore, even at this time, Xu Lijuan, who still hasn't forgotten her reserve, pretended to think hard for a while, and then raised her head and said, "Grandpa, I want to think about it. I will answer you tomorrow. Look, is it okay?"

"..." Ding Dang, who was lying on the sofa and watched the scene, murmured silently: Even the cute body is out, I don't know how turbulent my mood is!

Pretend it, pretend it vigorously!

Thanks to Xu Lijuan's ignorance of these thoughts in Dingdang's mind, otherwise, what awaited Dingdang would definitely be a terrible torture!Of course, this is also because Ding Dang deliberately chose a Xu Lijuan who was overly frightened and lived in Xu's house, which gave her an extremely sense of security, and would not notice too much of the surrounding situation at all.

"Okay, Xiaojuan, think about it carefully. If you have any ideas, don't worry about old man Fu's opinion, just tell me." Xu Lao patted his chest hard and said as a guarantee, his eyes narrowed into a smile Wire.No matter why Xu Lijuan said such words, in his opinion, it means that Xu Lijuan's mind has indeed matured, and she is many times stronger than such bastards as Xu Deyou.Alas, thinking about it this way, why didn't Xu Lijuan have a male body?Otherwise, he wouldn't have to worry about the marriage of Xu Deyou and others...

At least, when the time comes, if Xu Deyou and others still use the old saying that "a man should start a career first and then a family" to defend himself and others, he will be able to put aside the case of Xu Lijuan's engagement at only 19 years old. Come out, then, by then, within three years, he will have a lot of grandchildren to tease...

However, the next day, after breakfast, Xu Lijuan said solemnly, "Grandpa, I've made up my mind, and I've decided to get engaged to Big Brother Fu."

"Ah?!" I didn't expect that after only one night, Xu Lijuan would figure it out. Elder Xu was stunned for a moment, and asked subconsciously: "You are only 19 years old this year, and you are not yet 20 years old. You are still very young, you can play for a few years before you think about things like getting engaged and getting married."

Xu Lijuan shook her head and said, "Grandpa, I've already considered it."

"But..." Xu Lao flattened his mouth, full of emotions such as reluctance and depression, and looked at Xu Lijuan with tangled eyes, moving his lips, wanting to continue to persuade, However, when faced with Xu Lijuan's clear and transparent phoenix eyes and Xu Lijuan's rarely seen serious face, he didn't know what to say.

Because, at this moment, Mr. Xu clearly understood that Xu Lijuan had long been aware of her situation, and also understood that this engagement was imperative, so she adjusted her mentality in a short period of time, with a kind of An upright and serious attitude welcomes the arrival of all this.

Such Xu Lijuan only made Mr. Xu feel distressed and reluctant.Even, for the first time, Mr. Xu complained about why Fu Jianbai appeared in front of Xu Lijuan, stirring up Xu Lijuan's heart.If not, Xu Lijuan would definitely be able to play happily under their protection for ten or eight years before seriously thinking about marriage, instead of walking into the grave of marriage at such a young age.

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about me." Xu Lijuan understood Mr. Xu's concerns, so she smiled, tilted her head, and said mischievously: "Besides, Grandpa, a person like me with high EQ and IQ is still in the world. I really can’t find a few, so, put your heart in your stomach, sit aside and appreciate how I manage my life to flourish!”

"You!" Mrs. Xu finally laughed, because Xu Lijuan, who had lost her innocence and innocence when she was young, let alone firmly grasped Fu Jianbai, the man whose heart and soul had been entrusted to her for a long time. They are those prodigal sons who have been wandering among the flowers year after year. As long as Xu Lijuan has the heart, she will be able to train them well.

However, even so, Mr. Xu still confirmed again: "Xiaojuan, do you really have to think about it?"

"Yeah." Xu Lijuan nodded heavily. Yesterday, the whole night, she didn't sleep well, not only because of the sweeter than honey that Fu Jianbai heard from Fu Jianbai's mouth when she returned to the room and talked on the phone. Promise words; not only because of the dream of her and Fu Jianbai's sweet and happy daily life after marriage; more because she has been lonely for many years, and she has always been looking forward to and longing to form a relationship as soon as possible own little family.

"Okay, turn around, I'll discuss the date of engagement with old man Fu." Old man Xu nodded, then turned to Du Mengqi and said, "Xiao Du, there is no mistress in the Fu family, you have to work hard these days, plan ahead Well, the matters that our two families need to pay attention to when we get engaged, as well as determining who to invite to attend these trivial matters."

"Dad, don't worry, I will take care of it. When the time comes, I will confirm with you again in detail." Although Du Mengqi is full of reluctance, she also has deep pride in her heart, wishing to announce to everyone around, look, my family My daughter is getting engaged to Fu Jianbai, the youngest lieutenant general since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Are you... envious or jealous?Hahaha……

Really, I don't know how you guys discussed the matter between Xiaojuan and Lin Haocang in private behind my back?
I really don't know that you have been saying in private recently that my Xiaojuan is not good enough for Fu Jianbai, and there are even private rumors that Mr. Fu and Fu Jianbai don't like my Xiaojuan. Relying on the brotherhood of Mr. Xu and Mr. Fu, he did something like "cooking raw rice to mature rice" to blackmail Mr. Fu and Fu Jianbai, forcing Fu Jianbai to marry Xiaojuan back home? !

As long as the thought of these rumors and rumors came from the mouths of those girls who had a very good relationship with Gu Wanwan, Du Mengqi felt a little annoyed. She has been expelled from her family, so anything that Gu Wanwan does in private can no longer involve their Gu family, and Du Mengqi doesn't know how to evaluate it.

It's a pity, I didn't expect that Gu Lao, who was once admired by people, would not only become more and more stubborn as he grew older, not to mention his face, but also faintly develop in the direction of old and confused...

While Du Mengqi was wandering around these thoughts, Elder Xu had already ordered Xu Ankang to make a call, and then waved his hand to signal Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi to go to work, while holding the phone by himself, he agreed with Elder Fu on the date of engagement up.
