Everyone went to the living room first. Youyou was particularly active in asking Jinghe to help him open the box and give gifts to everyone.
Gu Qingyue said: "Recently our two children have caused everyone a lot of trouble."
Gu Xuelan smiled and said, "No, no, they are all good kids. I like them very much."
Youyou and Jinghe delivered the gifts to everyone, and the little one even asked the recipient with anticipation, "Do you like it?"
Everyone gave the same answer: I like them, I love them! No need to ask, everyone likes them. Who doesn’t love giant pandas? Youyou proudly puffed out her chest and said, “My brother and I picked these ourselves!”
Xu Qingsong teased him: "You haven't even left Qiushui Town, how did you choose?"
"I'll choose on my phone." said Youyou.
Gu Qingyue explained for him that she was in a summer camp some time ago, taking a group of foreign students to Sichuan and Chongqing. Youyou woke up from her nap and insisted on looking for her mother.
Shen Nian'an called Gu Qingyue via video. Gu Qingyue happened to be at the souvenir sales counter at the tourist attraction at the time, so she used those things to divert his attention.
Youyou fell in love with the giant panda at once and wanted to buy one. She and Jinghe each picked one.
Afterwards, the two children suddenly had an idea to give one to each of the three pets in Liu Wangxue's family. Then it evolved into giving one to each of these uncles and aunts as well.
After picking the giant panda, Youyou specifically told her brother to keep it a secret, and the two children looked forward to their mother’s return every day.
Now everyone sitting in the living room holds a cute giant panda of different shapes.
After distributing the gifts and about to go to the kitchen, a horn sounded at the door. It was Tao Huayu and his two companions.
As soon as Tao Huayu got off the car, he saw Li Yu in the crowd. He walked over and started rubbing him: "You kid, you've changed a lot since you went out with our great designer!"
Lan Xiaoxi stared at Li Yu and nudged Yue Cheng with her elbow: "So handsome! So cute!"
Yue Cheng coughed and whispered, "Watch your expression and words and actions, this married woman." It's okay to lick the screen of male stars normally, but you must restrain yourself in real life.
Li Yu took great effort to free his face from Tao Huayu's clutches.
Xu Qingsong also helped him, and said to Tao Huayu with a smile: "I'm getting angry, I'm getting angry, stop it now!"
After a lot of fuss, they finally moved the things from the car down. Even though they were told not to buy any more, the three of them still brought a lot.
Yue Cheng said with a smile: "Brother Huayu said that there are so many people this time and they are afraid that there won't be enough food."
Liu Wangxue pretended to be dissatisfied: "What's the matter? Are you saying that I'm stingy in disguise?"
Gu Xuelan patted her.
Tao Huayu pleaded guilty: "I dare not, I am here as a guest, and it is not my style to come empty-handed."
All the things were moved to the kitchen, and everyone sat down and worked together while chatting.
The people who came today had not heard about Li Yu's experience in the past few days, so they asked again. Li Yu answered every question, and Wen Xi supplemented it.
The first person Tao Huayu met was not Li Yu, but Li Yu's father, Lao Li.
At that time, his furniture store had just stabilized, so he wanted to do home decoration. At the beginning, he relied on the relationships of friends of friends to sign a decent order for himself at the dinner table.
The contract was signed, but his home decoration studio was still an empty shell at that time, with no one, no designers, no engineering team, nothing.
When his friends were cheering for him at the dinner table, he played the game without blushing or getting nervous. But when he got home and sobered up, he started to worry.
The big brother who signed the contract with him looked generous, but after all, he was decorating the villa he wanted to live in, so his requirements were very strict.
He has his own design drawings, and it is said that he also asked someone with connections to hire a big designer to draw them, but the designer's team is too busy and is unwilling to come to this small place.
The eldest brother complained at the dinner table, and the news spread to Tao Huayu's friends, so in the end Tao Huayu got the order.
My brother has only one request, that the installation must be exactly the same as the design drawing.
There is a street near the furniture store where job recruitment information is posted, and there are also many construction teams waiting for work there.
Tao Huayu was very worried during those two days. He stayed on that street from morning to night in the middle of winter, trying to find a suitable engineering team. He talked to several of them, but he felt that none of them were suitable.
Then he met Lao Li, Li Jincai.
This man has a square face and his eyes are full of righteousness. His skin is rough from years of working on the construction site, making him look a little old, but his whole temperament is Buddhist.
Other engineering teams would approach a boss-like person and ask if he needed anyone. But he, with a group of friends, sat together like basking in the sun. If someone approached him and asked him whether he could take the job, he would still consider whether to accept it.
It seems that it is not the boss who chooses him, but he who chooses the boss.
Tao Huayu observed silently for a long time and listened to several rounds of conversations between him and the bosses.
The temperature dropped in the afternoon, and he couldn't stand the cold anymore, so he went over and put the design in front of Lao Li and asked, "Can you do it?"
Old Li looked at the design for a long time without saying anything. The brother next to him came over and said, "Wow, what a big villa!"
"Let me see, let me see!"
“It’s not easy—”
"Brother, I feel a little itchy, shall we take it?"
Lao Li asked Tao Huayu: "Can the project payment be settled on time?"
Tao Huayu stamped his feet in dismay: "Yes, I will pay you a 20% deposit first. I have only one requirement, it must be exactly as it was, without any changes."
Later, Tao Huayu found out that all the brothers around Lao Li were alone for one reason or another.
There were two people who couldn't stand the blows of life and almost had thoughts of suicide, and they were both pulled up by him.
These people once lost hope in life, but later they supported each other, learned skills, and carved out a small world for themselves with Lao Li.
But Lao Li was originally a Buddhist, cheerful all day long, and it was enough for him to have enough food and drink at home. And his brothers were all good at feeding the whole family, basking in the sun when there was no work, and picking the jobs they liked when there was work.
Lao Li and his brothers have excellent skills and are honest people who will not do anything tricky during construction.
After the villa was renovated, the eldest brother came over to do the final inspection and patted Tao Huayu on the shoulder: "Good boy, I didn't trust you wrongly!"
He also gave red envelopes to everyone.
Tao Huayu's home decoration business was a success, and he thought that Lao Li should take a large part of the credit. After that, the two sides cooperated several times and eventually became a regular partner.
The first time Tao Huayu met Li Yu was in the summer three years ago, probably in August.
After he got to know Lao Li, he knew that Lao Li had a son who was in high school. In the second half of the senior year, Lao Li hardly took any work and stayed at home to take care of his son.
