Chapter 335: The whole family is mobilized
Xu Qingming invited Li Laiyu to his home for dinner. Xu Guoliang and Wang Mengfang were extremely excited when they heard this. What could be more exciting than seeing progress in their child’s personal problems?
He started to get busy as soon as he got up in the morning. He cleaned the house neatly and made it shine inside and out. After Xu Guoliang came back from his morning run, he took a bike ride out for a walk and bought a lot of things in big and small bags.
When Wen Wan and Xu Qingming arrived home, the whole house was filled with fragrance as soon as they entered.
Wang Mengfang opened the door: "You're back!"
"Aunt!"
"Come in, come in!" He said, standing aside and watching the two people taking Dandan into the house. After there was no one else, he still looked outside without giving up, but he didn't see any more people.
He turned around and asked Xu Qingming: "How did you do this? Didn't you say you would bring someone home for dinner today?"
Xu Qingming collapsed on the sofa dejectedly: "Yeah, but the guy ran away halfway." His skills are still not enough, and he has to work harder if he wants to catch the little goblin.
Seeing him like this, Wang Mengfang knew something had happened again. She couldn't ask him any more questions in front of Wen Wan, so she turned around and hugged Dandan. "Come, let Auntie hold you, little darling. It's been a long time since we last met." She felt a pang of anxiety at the sight of such an adorable child. Wan Wan was a year younger than Xu Qingming, and the child was about to start school. Xu Qingming hadn't even managed to solve his own problems.
It's really worrying.
It turns out that the son he raised was here to collect debts.
Wen Wan sniffed and said, "Uncle is making something delicious again. I'll go and see."
As he said that, he went to the kitchen, where Xu Guoliang was showing off his cooking skills, wearing the floral apron specially made for him by Wang Mengfang.
"uncle!"
Xu Guoliang turned around and smiled at her: "You're here, go sit outside. It's a little smoky inside, and we'll be able to eat soon."
After saying that, he glanced outside and deliberately lowered his voice: "Is that little girl here?"
Wen Wan pouted and shook her head: "No."
Xu Guoliang paused the spatula in his hand and made the same pouting gesture as her: "It's so disappointing that I gave birth to such a blockhead." It's been so long and there has been no progress.
It’s a pity that he went out early in the morning to kill the egret chicken, and later he won’t be able to give his unfortunate son a single bite.
Wen Wan said, "I will cheer for Brother Qi."
Xu Guoliang was disappointed, but he still had a faint smile on his face: "Well, then I'll have to trouble An Bao to help him, otherwise I'm afraid he will end up alone for the rest of his life."
Wen Wan naturally agreed.
Her seventh brother is her good friend, so she naturally hopes that they will eventually become a couple, provided that they are able to succeed. If they are forced, they won't be able to eat each other!
Wen Wan was not in the living room, and Dandan was a child who knew nothing. Wang Mengfang finally didn't have to hold it in and could express her dislike for her son without any hesitation.
"Who was it yesterday who was so excited saying someone would come to our house for dinner? Where is that person? As soon as you open your mouth, your dad and I run around like crazy. We've been busy since yesterday afternoon and we're still busy."
Xu Qingming raised his hands in surrender: "It's my fault. Last time, last time I expressed my feelings to her, and she rejected me." Then he sighed: "But I can see that she rejected me not because she doesn't like me, but because -"
"And what?"
Xu Qingming said, "She thinks it's troublesome! She said she likes to be alone, and one more person is troublesome. Mom, it's not that she doesn't like me, she just doesn't know how to love others." He didn't know what had happened to Li Laiyu, but he felt that many times when she raised her eyes, her thin back was filled with loneliness and a kind of incomprehensible sadness.
It made him feel distressed and he just wanted to hug her and stay with her.
Wang Mengfang sneered: "I understand, people think you are a nuisance."
"Mom! What have I said for so long? Is this how you look at your son?"
Xu Qingming felt like he had no desire to live. He was already miserable enough, why did he have to stab him a few more times?
Wang Mengfang's tone was still gentle, but her words were sharp: "You can't even solve your own personal problems, and I've been pursuing the girl I like for so long without any progress. I feel a little ashamed when I think about you being my son. I'm thinking, do I have to take action in this matter? Can I count on you?" Her disdain was evident in her words.
The expression on Xu Qingming's face quickly changed from confusion to shock: "You, you went to see her?"
"Of course!" Ms. Wang smiled.
After knowing that her disappointing son fell in love with another girl, Wang Mengfang found an opportunity to contact Li Laiyu at school.
Li Laiyu's circle was too simple. Aside from Wen Wan, he had almost no other friends and spent most of his time alone. Once he was in school, there were only three places he could go: the classroom, the library, and the large rock by the reeds southwest of Huada.
It was already winter, and with the cold weather, her range of activities became smaller and smaller, so it was still easy to find her. After finding out who Li Laiyu was, Wang Mengfang pretended to pass by outside the classroom and secretly took a look at her. She was a very beautiful girl with a cool aura. No wonder her son liked her. Men are visual animals.
Soon afterwards, Wang Mengfang chased to the library and created an encounter.
At that time, Li Laiyu was looking for a book not far away. She pretended to take a book from the top shelf, and then she tiptoed and pulled all the books off the shelf with great effort, and they fell to the ground. Li Laiyu happened to be right next to her and helped her pick up the books one by one.
She thanked Li Laiyu, and Li Laiyu said calmly, "It's just a small favor, no need to thank me. If you need any other books, I can help you look for them."
Although they didn't say much, Wang Mengfang felt that she was a very nice girl.
She tried to strike up a conversation with the other person again, but he was indifferent, as if he didn't like talking to someone he didn't know well.
Wen Wan came over at some point and leaned against the armrest of the sofa, saying, "Seventh Brother, this is a very challenging matter. I've been with Li Laiyu for such a long time, and while I know her family well, I don't know anything about her family affairs. But I do know a little bit about her personality."
After that, he asked Xu Qingming: "Seventh Brother, do you know the situation of her family?"
Xu Qingming said, "I want to know, but it's not easy to ask around. It's not easy to ask around, after all, Cen An's place is quite far away."
After saying that, Xu Guoliang came out of the kitchen. "Why don't you just ask around? Just tell me which county and commune in Cen'an she lives in, and I'll take care of it for you. Chasing a girl is like fighting a war. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory. Only when you understand clearly can you prescribe the right medicine and hit the target with one strike. You, just following her around like a little tail, will not achieve anything."
Wen Wan smiled and clapped her hands. "I think what my uncle said is absolutely right. Seventh Brother, since you like her and you insist on having her, you can't just stick to your guns. You have to change your strategy. I'm just asking around, not affecting her life. Don't overthink it."
"Lai Yu is indifferent to everyone and everything, as if nothing catches her eye. She barely interacts with her classmates. When they meet, they just nod and rarely speak."
"She's pretty good with me, and we can still talk. If I don't invite her out, she'll always be on her own. But she likes children very much. She especially likes Chunxue from Qi Layue's classmate's family, and Dandan from our family."
When facing children, she felt much softer and seemed especially patient.
Wang Mengfang said, "A girl who likes children is always soft-hearted, no matter how cold she appears. It must be that your seventh brother wasn't trying hard enough, and there's something he didn't do well that's why he couldn't impress her."
Wen Wan glanced at Xu Qingming and said, "Not really. I think Seventh Brother is pretty good and has done a pretty good job. It's probably just like what you said, Auntie, that he hasn't found the right point and hasn't hit the mark."
"Just now on the road, I chatted with her for a while, and she told me that her family background is not good."
After she said this, Wang Mengfang understood a little bit."
In the early years, children from poor family backgrounds had a hard life.
This girl is truly extraordinary, as she was able to survive and come from the mountains to the capital to attend Hua University.
Then he said to Xu Qingming: "If you are really stubborn and want to hang yourself on a tree, you have to listen to me. You have to take your time to warm this girl up. If you keep warm for a long time, you will eventually warm her up. Don't think about being a date with her first, just be friends first."
"When you understand her better and know the root cause, then you can prescribe the right medicine. Maybe there is still hope.
If you don’t have patience, I advise you to give up as soon as possible.”
If she really comes from a poor family, then she must have endured many hardships growing up. Such a girl has a rejection of life and the world. She lacks love, but rejects all those who would give her love. Because she has experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature and understood the fickleness of the world, she does not believe that love still exists in this world.
He let out a long sigh and said, "I only have you as my only child. I didn't worry about you when you were little, but now you have to worry about your personal problems. You usually seem smart and have your own ideas, but why are you so stupid when it comes to yourself?"
Several people were discussing how Xu Qingming was going to achieve a happy ending with someone.
Perhaps because the discussion was too intense, Li Lai Yu sneezed several times in a row.
After getting off the car, she didn't hang around outside. It was still quite cold in the first month of the year, and she didn't have the leisure to stand outside in the cold wind.
When I got home, the yard door was closed, and a fat, shiny black cat appeared in the yard.
After meowing, it spoke in human language strangely.
"Didn't you promise to go? Why aren't you going now? Going back on your word isn't your style."
Li Laiyu went into the house and made himself a cup of hot tea, holding it in his hand: "I didn't go back on my word. I just agreed to go to the compound to see the children. I didn't say I would go home with him for dinner."
"I've already rejected him, so why am I going to his house now? If you just want to live a free and unrestrained life alone, you shouldn't give people any thought."
The black cat jumped onto the chair and lay down on the cushions. "You're so stubborn! Wouldn't it be great to have someone who loves you? You've lived two lifetimes without ever experiencing love. Do you think it's worth it? To put it bluntly, you're a coward."
Li Laiyu pursed her lips as she looked at it: "I think it would be better for you to just be a good system in this space."
As he spoke, a miserable cat cry suddenly stopped, and the black cat that had just jumped onto the chair disappeared.
